Prosperous Glory

Chapter 55

Turning her head, Feng Qing saw Feng Tong's eyes flicker, and then heard the girl's laughter on the other end, she frowned slightly, and asked with a smile, "Brother Sanhuang, what are you thinking about?" Feng Yu and Feng Que also looked over with an unfriendly expression on their faces, thinking that these two reckless men would punch her when they caught her, Feng Tong hated her so much, but now there are some cities, she just shook her head with a smile and said, "No What, it's just that the scenery in this mansion is gorgeous, which makes people lose their minds." However, in his heart, he quickly weighed the benefits of marrying the British mansion.

There are six brothers in this generation of the British government, and five of them have become officials. Although only the British prince is prominent in the court, the others all hold important positions and are quite influential.In particular, although the British Duke exchanged military power, the former British Duke's old department has never forgotten the Shangguan. The public is already very powerful.What's more, apart from the British brothers, several sisters have married into the official family, especially Princess Su. Now two sons are kings, two sons are princes, and one daughter is a princess. King Su is well-known in Beijing for loving his wife. When he came to the British public, he might not be able to fight against the prince.

In particular, Feng Tong's eyes secretly fell on A Rong who was talking to A Yuan with his head down.

Mrs. Uncle Chengyang, who was also born in the British government, is now the only favorite, and can be said to be able to call the wind and rain.Uncle Chengyang is now in charge of the imperial guards, this is a position that cannot be given by the emperor's confidants, Fengtong's eyes are envious when he thinks about it.

As long as he pinches the palace, what else is he worried about?

In the past, he still thought about marrying a girl from his grandfather Xu's family as his concubine, but now the Xu family has shown its disgrace, and after thinking about it, it is more in his interest to marry a girl from the British public family.

As long as he can marry the daughter of the Duke of England, he will have a relationship with most of the nobles in the capital. Isn't this easier than being exhausted in the capital alone?

The eldest daughter of the British princess is already engaged to Feng Tang, only the second daughter...

"Don't run into the girls." Feng Qing took a look at the third brother, and knew that he was not thinking of good things, and she didn't bother to talk to him at this time, so she just said hello, and everyone went to other places, avoiding the girls the way to go.Feng Tong, who had figured it out, and Feng Ming, who wanted to lie on the wall to confess his love, looked back reluctantly for a while, then Feng Tong withdrew her gaze, seeing Feng Ming's appearance, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart, thinking of the fourth son Since I was very young, I have been acting good in England, I am afraid that the intention is also on the second girl of the Qi family. I secretly hate this kid who looks bold but actually has a heart, and I am blinded by my good opinion of him. At this time, he put on a big brother's posture with a somewhat ugly face and asked, "Fourth, what are you looking at?!"

"Never mind your business!" Feng Ming was so annoyed by this sanctimonious third brother, and his mother and concubine said that there is no need to be polite with a bitch, so he rolled his eyes and said.

Feng Tong almost made this younger brother choke, seeing that his younger brother didn't regard him as an elder brother like this, and even Feng Yu and Feng Que behind him were also watching the fun with a smile on his face, he couldn't hold back his face immediately, and scolded, " Is this the way you talk to your brother?!"

"Concubine Xu likes to sue the most. Brother Sanhuang took Concubine Xu as his own mother, so he naturally got the essence of it. If he really thinks that I am not good, just sue me in front of the emperor!" Speaking of this, Feng Ming became angry. , At this time, the words are a little yin and yang.

Ah Yuan is such a lovely child, how can people bear such a grudge, complaining in front of the saint in the middle of the night?Do you still have the face of your elders?It's good now, I was circled in the palace and couldn't get out.

"What's more," Feng Ming gave the third brother another slap in the face, and only raised his head and said, "I only pay the most attention to what the prince and the second brother say, and what the two brothers say is very reasonable. That's all, it's just a big brother's image to make me sick."

"Okay, you are mocking me!" Feng Tong and Feng Ming were born to be at odds!Of course, those who do not clash with His Royal Highness Shun have not yet been born. At this moment, they just sneered and said, "I know, you look down on me and think that my background is inferior to yours, but what are you! Back then, your mother was just a ..."

"My biological mother is a concubine when she enters the palace." Feng Ming said bluntly, "Mother Kuang is a mother, if you talk about your mother's background, your mentality is really annoying, brother Huang, no wonder," he said with a grin, "You and Mrs. Concubine Xu are better." The meaning here is so rich that Feng Tong was trembling with anger, but when she was about to explode, Feng Qing said calmly from the side, "Today, it is Mrs. Good day, madam! If anyone wants to make trouble, don’t blame Su Wang’s mansion for being rude!” He smiled at the two princes, and said gently, “You can leave the gate of the British mansion as you please! "

"I'm impulsive, Ah Qing, don't be as knowledgeable as me." Feng Tong couldn't move his face, and froze in place, but Feng Ming was used to being bullied by A Yuan in the palace, and he would beg for mercy most of all, besides, he also felt that he was wronged , I only made amends, so I just closed my mouth, waiting to continue talking with the third child after leaving the mansion.

Seeing that the two of them stopped, Feng Qing smiled slightly and stopped talking.

Although he is the king of the county, he is highly valued by saints, and no one dares to underestimate him. Although Fengtong hated him for not showing her face, she thought of the beauty Jiang Shuyun back then who asked the saints to give him a marriage. , almost all good things belong to him, I hate him so much, but I still bear it.

This conflict only made everyone feel a little unhappy. At this moment, they saw a girl coming from the front, and the banquet had already started.

There were still elders in front of them, so they naturally didn't dare to be negligent, so they walked quickly, and saw that in the atrium of the British government house, there were twelve huge screens with the picture of Magu's birthday offering divided into two sections. Naturally, it was a female family member, and the tables outside were all male customers. A Yuan walked in with his little feet, but saw Mrs. Tai had already taken her seat, and beside her was an old lady who was about the same age as Mrs. Tai, and she knew this in her heart. It was the second old lady. A Yuan only saluted respectfully, and then he lay in Mrs. Tai's arms and asked curiously, "Why isn't mother, concubine and aunt missing?"

Mrs. Tai only sat a few of A Yuan's aunts at the table, which was basically empty, but the tables below were filled with sisters and female guests, which was very lively.

"Who knows, I went out mysteriously a long time ago, and I don't know what I was doing." Madam Tai said helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few women coming over with something. A Yuan saw that even Concubine Su was holding a small plate in her hand, so she felt curious and opened her eyes wide. The aunts stepped forward one by one and opened the trays in their hands. The first aunt held a small bowl of longevity noodles, followed by the second aunt's Baihua cake, the fourth aunt's small birthday peach, the sixth aunt's wishful pastry, Mrs. Chengyang The pair of red eggs in her hand, and finally Princess Su smilingly holding over a cup of ginger tea, are all very simple and ordinary things, but they are very suitable for the occasion.

"Mother's birthday, we don't know what to do, but these are made by ourselves, the craftsmanship is very ordinary, mother, don't dislike it." The aunt only stood at the front, smiling and said to the stunned Mrs. .

"What is this for? It's all the official's wife, and she did it by herself, so I don't worry about getting hurt, I'm so angry?" Mrs. Tai was so distressed, but the circles of her eyes suddenly turned red, and she just lowered her head and wiped it away quickly. With tears in his eyes, he lowered his head and picked up a chopstick on each of these dishes, then said with a smile, "It's delicious, you have something like this..."

While she was talking, she saw the women in front of her step back a few steps, knelt down in front of her and kowtowed three times. Then A Yuan's aunt raised her head and said tearfully, "Mother and us We can never repay the kindness of our life. Now, I only wish my mother to live a long life so that we can be happy together." After speaking, tears fell, and I only whispered, "My daughters only hope that my mother will be happy in this life. Be safe, enjoy wealth and honor, don't," she paused, then said softly, "Don't worry about us anymore."

"You guys, what are you doing!" Mrs. Tai saw a few children kowtowing heavily to herself, and said with tears in her eyes, "When did you not remember my birthday? Why bother to put on such a battle now?" Come?" After speaking, he hurriedly got them up.

"It's their care. My sister-in-law just suffers. Could it be that they have worked so hard to pull them up, and now they can't bear it?" Seeing Mrs. Tai pulling this one and touching her head, and then looking at the other worriedly, the second old lady on the side could not bear it. Feeling embarrassed in my heart, I just put my palms together and smiled, "If I have such benefits in the future, then it will be useful."

"During Second Auntie's birthday, Xiao Qi just kowtows to you, so what's the point?" Concubine Su said with a smile when she was walking seven at home. He only went to Mrs. Chengyang Uncle who was seated with a smile and whispered, "Look at me, did I break my head?" After touching Mrs. Chengyang Uncle's cold fingers a few times, she felt extremely comfortable. He squinted his eyes and hummed, "Knead again." He leaned towards Mrs. Chengyang's hand, looking a little rambunctious.

"Look at the two of them, they were good in the past, but they are still so crooked now." Where is Princess Su hurt at all?It's just being coquettish with Mrs. Chengyang Bo, when the second old lady saw them, she pointed at them and said with a smile.

"They grew up together since they were young, so naturally they have different affections." Just like Su Wangfei was willing to ask A Yuan to call Mrs. Chengyang Uncle by her aunt, this is an extremely close expression.Mrs. Tai turned a blind eye to the delicacies on the table, and only seriously ate all the food prepared for her by the few children, and then sighed, "It is said that I raised them, but no one understands that without these children, we Where is it again? How much do they worry about me on weekdays?" She was born in a noble family and was the most proud woman, but she met a cruel husband and almost died of depression in the backyard. She is weaker on weekdays. It was these girls who armed themselves into sharp people one by one, and finally defeated the mother-in-law above, the favored second wife and concubine, and only then did they have a chance of survival.

"Without my aunt to protect us, none of this is necessary." Princess Su had already laid on Mrs. Chengyang's shoulders and told her to rub her forehead and smooth her hair, and she only smiled as she leaned against the helpless Chengyang uncle. said. .

Everyone agrees, without the protection of Mrs. Tai, even if there are thousands of schemes, who would dare to give it a go?

"The children are around the knees, and the children are around the knees." Mrs. Tai only showed a satisfied look at this time.

You should know that from outside, King Su, who peeked in secretly, saw his daughter-in-law getting so close to his good friend again, and his heart seemed to be soaked in vinegar. Mrs. Chengyang acted like a baby, and then went to please her other sisters for a while, and finally rolled into Mrs. Tai's arms to please Mrs. Tai, and offered tea to Mrs. Tai, just sat there for a while with her heart covered, she couldn't bear it He just leaned closer to Uncle Chengyang, who was clinking glasses with his sixth brother-in-law, and said with a distorted smile, "Brother Zhan, should I take care of your wife?" What rhythm is this?
"Oh." Uncle Chengyang took a look at him, feeling that this man was so boring and not easy to leave him alone, so he felt that he had already responded kindly.

It should be noted that it is better to ignore people!
Su Wang was very annoyed by the perfunctory, but after all, there are still guests, he is not good here to discuss the topic of "talking to the prince should be cordial and enthusiastic" with this stuffy jar, so he just angrily squeezed He took some tripe, thinking that it was Uncle Chengyang biting hard.

On this side, Feng Ming was quite alert, and he didn't need to be mobilized by others. He just stood up and said loudly to the screen, "Today is Mrs. Tai's birthday, Feng Ming takes this wine as a respect!" He drank the white wine in a wine cup in one gulp, saluted slightly to the Duke of England and the seniors around him, toasted a glass of wine as well, and then sat down.

Everyone is jealous of the prince showing face like this, okay?

I feel that the British Duke is doing really well. For my wife's birthday, the prince and prince came to a table. If you look at the men and aunts of the Qi family, you feel cautious. At the top, the old man next to the Duke of England was always smiling, very kind, kind and not threatening. Thinking of the old man who was called a cruel man back then, no, the prince saluted him, and the Duke of England still owed him, so the old man just remained motionless. , how arrogant is this?

But I don't know that the second old man looked calm, but kept paying attention to Feng Ming's expression, seeing that he was not dissatisfied with his rudeness at all, and even smiled shyly at himself, the second old man was really shocked.

This is definitely a replica of King Su back then!
Thinking of Feng Ming's thoughts that Duke Ying told him, the second old lady also thought that this kid was good. Although he was a prince, this was a deduction item, but he couldn't bear the sincerity of this kid. He had the advantages that the old lady liked. It was obedient just looking at it, which made the old man's heart move, and he was already somewhat willing.But no matter how willing you are, you can’t show it on your face, right?Just about to try the prince's temperament again, he saw the leader, who was a step behind his younger brother. At this moment, he was gnashing his teeth and scolding the cunning Feng Tong, the fourth child, who had already stood up. The British prince bowed his hands.

Of course, as a prince with status, he ignored the strange old man who looked dilapidated beside the British Duke.

ignore...

none……

The people in Beijing who had seen how cruel the second old master was back then all lowered their heads silently, expressing that they had never seen such a rude side of His Royal Highness Shun Wang.

Do you know who that is?Hehe, he is just an old man who has retired and taught a few censor students.Hehe, it was just that I accidentally killed a few political enemies that I didn't deal with back then.Hehe, I heard that King Fu's rebellion failed back then, and this man only had a "small" foot in it.

The second old man didn't care.

He has lived for a long time and has seen too many idiots, someone like Feng Tong is not so common, the second old man is too lazy to know his level, they almost lowered the level of the old man.

Squinting his eyes, he decided to teach the promising little A Yuan, whom he had discovered, and then practiced with this idiot. The second old man only smiled gently and said, "Don't be polite, everyone eats wine."

Everyone on the table raised their wine glasses at the same time, paying tribute to the old man who could make people cry with a smile.

The second old man is majestic outside, but inside he is very optimistic about the little A Yuan, who has become the king of the dining table!
As a cute little fat boy, doing things by himself is no longer enough to satisfy him. At this moment, A Yuan lay contentedly in the arms of his sixth aunt, Zheng Shi, and rubbed the soft little aunt's face. She said with bright eyes, "Skinned elbows are delicious only if they are fat!" Seeing that Mrs. Zheng was busy picking up vegetables for herself, she swallowed them in one gulp, and then said vaguely, "Longjing shrimp, you can still take them." Come to pad your stomach!" Said, a pair of big eyes wandered quickly on the table, and murmured, "On such a good day, for the sake of my grandmother, A Yuan, A Yuan can only make an exception and try hard to eat more. Grandmother is happy, isn't she?"

"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Tai thought that a child must have a little fat, and she laughed sincerely, regardless of Princess Su covering her face.

"It's A Yuan's advantage to make my grandmother laugh." A Yuan said earnestly.

Mrs. Zheng is used to taking care of Qi Jian, and now that she has practiced the skill of picking vegetables, she can pick up more meat without anyone noticing, and can also stuff it into A Yuan's mouth at the speed of light.Seeing Mrs. Zheng, A Yuan felt that his sixth uncle was very lucky. Well, he envied and hated him for a while, and he also made some snacks for Mrs. Zheng. Aunt and niece were very happy when they heard the royal meal outside. But the big face.Even if it is an old minister in the court, how many people can get a banquet given by the imperial court on their birthdays?What's more, Mrs. Tai is just a housewife. It's really shocking to be as decent as she is today.

Of course, the fact that the British Duke is so favored can be envied and hated by others.

Along with the imperial meal, there is also a white jade ruyi from the imperial court, and gem bonsai and other things. Although they look ordinary, they are all engraved with imperial seals. They must be obtained in the palace, which makes people jealous .

The royal meal is only one table, so who would dare to eat it so carelessly?Kneeling to receive the imperial meal, the British Duke turned his head and arched it up. This is naturally a sign of admiration for the saint.

After this surprise, the table became more lively.Inside, A Yuan only arched his small body to play around, and then crawled to Princess Su's side and laughed softly, "I heard it all, the cousins ​​have made an appointment, and we will go to the drinking order later." Speaking of this, she said Eager to try, he licked his small mouth and said, "Actually, I can also drink."

"Nonsense! How old are you!" Concubine Su scolded, widening her eyes, "If you keep messing around, I'll talk to Ah Qing and tell him to treat you!"

"Now, isn't A Yuan out of the control of the empress and the princess?" Mrs. Cheng Yang who was at the side heard it very interesting, so she said with a smile.

On the table of Mrs. Tai, apart from the married daughters of the Qi family, they are the daughters-in-law of the Qi family. There is only Mrs. Chengyang who has a foreign surname. However, Mrs. Tai treats her as if she treats her own daughter. Madam kowtows, not even a few aunts, but asks Madam Chengyang to stand among them.Although A Yuan knew that Mrs. Tai loved Mrs. Uncle Chengyang in the past, but she didn't know her today. Seeing this aunt's gentle face, she thought that such a good aunt was the one she wanted to ask to be her mother-in-law. For some reason, she thought of Ah. Rong Lai felt awkward for a moment, then he only hugged Mrs. Cheng Yang and said, "I also listen to what my aunt says."

"This hairpin is very pretty." Mrs. Chengyang's eyes fell on A Yuan's head, looking at the somewhat rough hairpin on it, she only praised it with a smile.

A Yuan shook his little body in his heart, and laughed dryly twice.

So what, my aunt doesn't know if she can tell that it was made by her own son!

The table was harmonious and happy, but there was a person below who felt that he couldn't get over it.

Chen Huan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang's family, already felt that she, as the aunt of nobleman Wang, was a little unhappy that she was not at the main table, but all these things were connected together, and she didn't have time to say anything to express her unhappiness.Seeing the chattering and laughing at the top now, it seems as if they have forgotten them, and they are not angry at all. There are a few married women at this table who are whispering to each other. Mrs. Wang's family felt that this might be a shabby household, so she just endured it, thinking that she should be a scholar, so she just stood aside with a sullen face and didn't speak.

Chen Huan was almost helpless, this table was filled with the younger generation of Mrs. Tai's natal family, putting her family on this table showed that she paid attention to it, but seeing that this mother-in-law who had never been to a big family didn't take it seriously, if The commotion disturbed Mrs. Tai's interest, and made her mother worry, so she just put a few lotus seeds on the mother-in-law's plate, and whispered, "The lotus seeds in rock sugar in this house are the most sweet and delicious, mother-in-law." Try it?"

"It's just ordinary food. Such an ugly appearance is simply insulting to the gentlemen." Mrs. Wang said proudly.

Of course, she doesn't dare to offend noble people, but she doesn't care about the juniors sitting at the table.

Opposite her, a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress who was scooping up a tablespoon of almond tofu with a smile on her face, stopped smiling in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, slowly withdrew her hand, put the spoon by her hand, and squinted her eyes. .

When Chen Huan saw it, he wanted to cover his face.

She thinks this life is simply too difficult!

The "shabby householder" her mother-in-law ridiculed was the second wife of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, right?I heard that the second wife's natal family is still guarding Shanhaiguan. The family is famous for its toughness, and even the saints praised it highly.

The medicine cannot be stopped!

Chen Huan's eyes were so pitiful, the beautiful woman seemed to want to lift the table, but she finally looked at Mrs. Tai who hadn't seen this place, endured it for a while, only sneered, and nodded to Chen Huan, but that Although she looks like this, she clearly holds vengeance.

Mrs. Wang's family really thought that her noble sentiments had infected this unruly woman. After wandering around for a while, she felt that this British man was just an ordinary rich man, but after all he was better than others. For the purpose, she only smiled confidently, and then smiled at Mrs. Tai who was talking above, "Madam Tai, please know that it is our blessing to wish you a birthday. There is no fun in this banquet now. My little girl Although I only have a little fluency in writing, I still want to write a poem for Mrs. Tai, isn't it the intention of her junior?"

After finishing speaking, it didn't matter whether Mrs. Tai wanted to hear it or not, she just raised her voice, "Sister Yuan, don't write poems for Mrs. Tai yet!"

Wang Yuan, who was having a good time talking with Qi Shan, didn't expect her mother to be such a moth, at this time, she was bathed in the eyes of the female relatives of the British government who didn't understand, and her face turned red in the next moment.
