The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 10

The Peach Blossom Banquet was held in the suburban villa of Zhen Guogong Mansion.

The villa is surrounded by mountains, water and peach blossoms. The maids and servants are all dressed in brocade and serve plates of fine wine and delicacies attentively.

He Yao and Yuan Wang entered the garden, looking from a distance, they were lonely in clothes, fragrant rings and shadows on their temples, and the laughter and laughter were full of prosperity and excitement.

The two of them stood under the peach blossom tree. He Yao pointed to the husband in the distance and introduced Yuan Wan, "The one with the hairpin and powdered hairpin is the young uncle Zhang Cuifeng. He is arrogant and domineering. He relies on his sister to be the empress and goes around plundering women. The reputation in Luojing City is not good. The one wearing the embroidered crane robe is Gu Tingzhou, the legitimate son of Taiwei Gu's family. He is very talented in literature and martial arts. Although it is worth making friends, he is treacherous and aloof and difficult to approach. That person is..."

She introduced them all around and drank half a cup of fragrant tea with a dry mouth.

Yuan Wang leisurely picked a peach blossom, "I heard that Guo Duanping, the governor of Liangzhou, was promoted to Luojing and shot for Zuo Pu. I wonder if his family will attend the banquet?"

He Yao shook her head, "I'm not sure about that."

Yuan Wang stood up and said, "I'm going to go shopping elsewhere."

He is a thief. Whenever he goes to a new place, he has a habit of familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment.

After Yuan Wang left, He Yao picked up a piece of crystal clear mare's milk jade cake from the table. Just as she took a bite, a pair of twin sisters with charming faces suddenly came over.

Xue Ningyun smiled and said: "Hey, isn't this He Er? You're eating it before the banquet has started? Where is your fiancé from Liangzhou? Pull him out and tell us to open our eyes! Hidden like this, Could it be that he is a country man who cannot stand up to the public eye and is unsightly?"

Her sister Xue Nongqiao has the word "Qiao" in her name, but she is naturally stuttering when speaking, so she habitually echoes her sister, "A country man is unsightly!"

He Yao rolled her eyes.

The Xue family sisters are inherently bad.

In the previous life, these two sisters also joined the Wei family. Although they were not as prominent as Luo Ciyu, they won Wei Jiuqing's favor because they often helped Wei Jiuqing out of all kinds of tricks and solved stumbling blocks on his way to power.

The number of officials who died in their conspiracy could not be counted on two hands.

After Luo Ciyu's death, the two even ordered the housekeeper to quietly let Luo Ciyu cover his face with chaff and cover his mouth during the burial, which can be described as extremely vicious.

She also suffered a lot at the hands of these two sisters. Beatings and starvation were commonplace. Once, they even wanted to use her as a favor and give her to a sixty-year-old official as a concubine. Fortunately, her sister stopped her.

The Xue sisters have always been hostile to her in their past lives, not only because they all admired Wei Jiuqing, but also because the He family and the Xue family did not deal with each other in the court.

He Yao didn't like them, "I haven't seen them in person, so don't jump to conclusions."

"You're just a villager, you're not even qualified to carry my shoes." Xue Nigyun sneered, "What a pity that the He family's sister, with her ice-cold muscles and jade bones, ended up marrying a villager from the countryside!"

"What are you talking about?" Luo Ciyu led a group of famous girls over.

Xue Ningyun looked back and smiled, "I was praising He's sister for being so lucky. Her fiancé is so poor that he doesn't even have a house. When we get married in the future, we can live together in her house, and it's no different from our son-in-law. Unlike us, we don't know where to marry in the future. Somewhere. If you marry far away, it will be difficult to see Aye Niang."

Luo Ciyu knew that Xue Nigyun was deliberately making things difficult for He Yao.

Although she doesn't like He Yao either, but He Yao's elder sister has a marriage contract with her elder brother. As the host, she cannot allow others to bully He Yao.

She said: "The banquet is about to begin. He Er, please get ready and play a song for us with the young marquis."

The guests are all seated.

He Yao looked around, but Yuan Wang didn't come back.

She had to go in by herself.

Xue Ningyun was the first to laugh out loud and explained to the ladies next to her: "The young marquis came from the remote and poor Liangzhou countryside. He had never seen the prosperity of Luojing. I heard that he fell ill just after he entered the capital. Where? Have you ever participated in such a lively and elegant banquet? Now, my son is probably as scared as a rat crossing the street and doesn’t know where to hide!”

The little ladies on good terms with Xue Ningyun covered their sleeves and sneered:
"He Er is crazy. A normally domineering person is actually willing to marry a country man! If I were her, I would refuse to accept this marriage even to the death!"

"What about the ensemble "High Mountain and Flowing Water", that idiot He Er, who skipped classes every three days when she was studying in the Imperial College, could she play the pipa? And the so-called young master, I'm afraid he doesn't understand the rhythm at all, he just doesn't want to lose face Did you hide on purpose?"

"Speaking of which, I wonder what that countryman looks like? Does he compare to Wei Lang?"

"Are you kidding me? How can he be compared with Wei Lang?"

"..."

Wei Jiuqing sat on the men's table, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

He didn't know where He Yao got the courage to bring that little lord to the peach blossom feast.

All of the people here are young men and women from high-ranking families, all of whom were raised in Jinxiudui. Are country people from places like Liangzhou worthy of eating at the same table as them?
I'm afraid I have never eaten such delicate pastries, nor drank fine wine.

Just a dog.

Wei Jiuqing's eyes fell on He Yao's face. He Er had never known how much he admired him before. The reason why he brought the young marquis here was probably to deliberately anger him and make him jealous.

It's so naive, ignorant and ridiculous!

He closed the folding fan, the military power of the He family was something he was bound to gain, in order to appease He Yao, maybe he could reluctantly show a jealous gesture.

I just hope that the villager isn't too bad, otherwise it would be out of style to even be jealous.

in the field.

He Yao lowered her eyes, Xiao Hou Ye might have lost her way in the garden, it seems that she can only play solo.

Fortunately, in order to strive for success, she did not slack off this month.

The girl settled her mind, and caressed the pipa with her jade hands, and the water-like sound of the piano quickly poured out from her fingertips.

Xue Ningyun and the others were waiting to see a joke, but they were taken aback when they heard the sound of the piano.

Why didn't they know that He Yao could also play the pipa?

When she was studying in the Imperial College, she obviously couldn't even memorize the music scores!
Seeing that there were no mistakes in the pipa music, Xue Ningyun sneered, and started elsewhere, pretending to be sympathetic: "He Er is so pitiful. My fiancé ran away and didn't even dare to show his face. Marrying that kind of cowardly and cowardly country man Life is over."

Another little lady laughed and said, "Maybe it's because you're ugly that you don't dare to come out to meet people?"

When the words fell to the ground, a clear flute sound suddenly came from the depths of the peach forest.

Everyone looked back and saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen coming with a bamboo flute in his hand.

The spring breeze suddenly rises, and the falling flowers are colorful.

The young man wears a vermilion robe with a round collar and a missing crotch, and his figure is as tall and straight as a pine and bamboo.

His hair is tied up with a goose-yellow ribbon, his forehead is slightly curled, his eyes are like peach blossoms, his eyebrows are like distant mountains, his straight nose reveals the unique heroism and unruliness of a Liangzhou boy, his thin red lips are slightly upturned, and his whole body is full of charming and charming looks. .

This skin and demeanor are not like those of a country man who has never seen the world. He is clearly more eye-catching than the prince and grandson in the Jiuchong Palace!
