Reborn Daughter Bad

Chapter 32 The Ninth Prince Arrives

The guests gradually came together, and under the guidance of the maids, they went to the table.The sound of festive firecrackers sounded from outside the gate, signaling the official start of Mrs. Huo's birthday banquet.

The grandly dressed old lady still had her back straight and walked slowly into the banquet with the support of Cuilan and Cuiyun.

The opera on the stage gradually died down, and the chattering of the guests below also stopped, and all their eyes were on the energetic Mrs. Huo, respecting him in awe.

The old lady was originally a village woman and did not study much.Since Jiji married Huo Boyan, who was a soldier at the time, she hadn't had anything for three years, and she felt ashamed, and took the initiative to take concubines for her husband, while she took care of all the internal and external affairs of the family, so that the concubines could feel at ease to bear children for her husband.

Unexpectedly, the concubine was not pregnant yet, so she became pregnant by herself first.A year later, Huo's parents' daughter was born, and Huo Boyan was also promoted to a young general because of his great achievements in the battle outside the pass.After Huo Shoucheng was born, he made frequent meritorious deeds, step by step from a young general to a general of the Fuguo, and became a legend.

At that time, there were many wars, Mrs. Huo was alone at home to take care of her two children, without any complaints.After Old General Huo became famous, there were more people to please and curry favor. All kinds of beautiful concubines were sent home one by one. She taught extremely well, and was bestowed by the current emperor as "Yipin Gaoming Madam."

From an ignorant village woman to the general's widow today, one can imagine the hardships of the journey.Whenever talking about this woman with a legendary experience, she is the eldest princess, and she is also extremely respected.

Mrs. Huo's face is not as smooth and wrinkle-free as that of ordinary wealthy old women. She has been busy with housework for many years, so her hair has become snow-white, her skin is full of dimples, and her skin is sallow and dull.

But no one dared to make fun of her, she stood there like a majestic old man, and taught people to respect her from the heart.

"Today is the [-]th birthday of the old man. I didn't want to make a big fanfare. Everyone came here. But the children and grandchildren are filial, and they insist on celebrating the old man's birthday. The old man can't bear to shake the filial piety of the children and grandchildren, so I can only trouble everyone."

The guests below applauded and echoed: "Where is the old lady, it is the old lady's blessing to have such a virtuous grandson and filial son!"

Mrs. Huo smiled slightly, and when the applause subsided, she said again: "I am born in the market, and I don't know how to spell words, so I won't say anything superfluous. Thank you for your kindness, and I would like to invite the guests who came to celebrate the birthday today to have a good meal." Drink well, don't be restrained."

"As expected of Mrs. Huo, she speaks concisely and vigorously. Mingling is very polite here." Just as he finished speaking, a moderate voice came from the door.Everyone turned their heads and saw a vermilion figure striding across the threshold.

The vermilion long gown is embroidered with fine black gold silk cloud pattern on the wide side, wearing a jade crown and cloud boots.The white face like a crown jade has a gentle smile on it, unrestrained and unrestrained, who is not the nine princes who are the most beloved by the emperor today?

As soon as Mingling waved his hand, an attendant presented the gift box in his hand.He closed the fan in his hand with a smile, and made a bow: "Ming Ling came here uninvited, and I hope the old lady will not be offended."

Huo Tianxin looked at his eloquent appearance, and felt annoyed for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "You son of a bitch."

Xu Yanxi rested her chin and said disapprovingly: "How could it be, the Ninth Prince is quite a nice person, rich in knowledge, gentle and polite."

Huo Tianxin opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise: "How can elder sister Xi have such a high opinion of him? Could it be that she is interested in that guy?"

"How could it be? Elder sister Xi has already been engaged, so you can't talk nonsense." Fu Yatong said quickly, and looked at her teasingly for a while, "It's Xin'er, you are so nervous, could it be right?" Is the Ninth Prince interested?"

Huo Tian's heart froze, two blushes flew onto his face, and he stammered: "Sister Tong, what nonsense are you talking about? Who would like that ignorant dude, it's just nonsense."

Xu Yanxi turned around and saw the red cloud on her face, she also winked her eyes, and said meaningfully: "Oh, I see, what we really like is not a dude, but a knowledgeable, gentle and polite son."

Isn't this eight-character comment just given to the Ninth Prince by Xu Yanxi? So what's the difference?
Huo Tianxin became more and more ashamed, and pushed her reluctantly: "Sister Xi!"

"Okay, I won't say anything, just don't say anything." He said so, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden no matter what.Fu Yatong also covered her mouth with a handkerchief and snickered, the meaning was very clear.

Huo Tianxin was helpless, knowing how to explain it, he couldn't explain it, so he simply picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down, sulking himself.

It's just that for some reason, the red tide on his face couldn't subside for a long time, and it became more and more hot.

Ming Ling personally congratulated, and Mrs. Huo was surprised and pleasantly surprised, and said repeatedly: "The Ninth Prince came in person, and my general's mansion is full of splendor. I am too happy to be happy, so how can I be offended?"

After saying that, he turned his body sideways, "Ninth Prince, please sit up quickly."

Ming Ling's eyes turned around from the arena, and his eyes fell on Huo Tianxin. He smiled slightly, "You're welcome, old lady. I can't listen to opera. I get a headache when I get close to the sound of gongs and drums. The seat on the side It's very good, the old lady doesn't have to worry about it, don't be too restrained because of the boy's arrival, Ming Ling can just take care of himself."

After finishing speaking, he shook his fan and walked towards Huo Tianxin's table.

He has a noble status, and he has not yet reached the age of weak crown, and he is still some time away from the defense of men and women, even if he has a table with a woman who is not as good as him, there is nothing wrong with him.Seeing this, the old lady couldn't say anything, it just so happened that there were guests presenting birthday gifts, and she was too busy herself, let alone taking care of the children's affairs.

Most of today's guests had friendship with the late General Huo Shoucheng, or Huo Shoucheng's colleagues, they were all from aristocratic families, and the congratulatory gifts they sent were also varied, not to mention expensive, and there were many rare treasures , Teach people to open their eyes.

Among them, what Fu Shangshu and Princess Qing presented was a small Yushou Lushanzi.Shanzi is carved from a whole piece of turquoise emerald, more than four inches high and three inches wide, exquisitely carved and extraordinary.

The lower part of the mountain is a very realistic rock, on which there are tall trees and peaches.Under the tree, an old man stands in the wind, wearing a long-distance running jacket, flicking a deer with his left hand, and holding a palm with his right hand.There is another deer at the foot of the cliff, holding a Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth, looking up.

Peach, deer, Ruyi, and the elderly are all signs of auspiciousness and longevity. When this congratulatory gift was released, it caused a great sensation.

Chapter 33 I Love To See You Angry
"Master Shangshu is truly a great handiwork." Xu Yanxi patted Fu Yatong beside her in surprise, "Yatong, if I remember correctly, this was given to Princess Le by the emperor on your grandmother's birthday, right? Now it's in Lord Shangshu's hands again?"

Fu Yatong gave a "shh", a little bit proud, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, my mother heard that Xin'er fell into the water accidentally, and she thought about her aunt's poor health, and she was afraid that many things could not be done, so she specially asked my grandmother for this jade birthday. When Lu Shanzi comes, it will also give my aunt more confidence, so don't teach others to underestimate her."

Everything bestowed by the emperor must be solemnly enshrined.Although the princess and the emperor are brothers and sisters, there are not so many rules, but being able to specifically ask for something from the emperor to give confidence to their friends is enough to show the Shangshu family's intentions for Shen Muqiu.

With a warm heart in his heart, Huo Tian held Fu Yatong's hand and said, "Sister Tong, thank you, my mother, brother and I will remember this kindness."

"Fool, what kind words are you talking about?" Fu Yatong patted her hand and said softly: "You know, your mother and mine are cousins, and you and I are the same. We are a family behind closed doors. what?"

"Yes, you two are sisters, but you threw me aside?" Xu Yanxi turned the small wine glass in her hand in dissatisfaction, pretending to be deep: "Forget it, you are not the royal family and nobles, you will not be able to climb high anyway."

"Sister Xi." The two spoke together and looked at her dissatisfied.

Xu Yanxi burst out laughing: "Okay, I'm just teasing you. Knowing that you two regard me as sisters, is it possible that I will still be jealous?"

"Who is jealous, and whose jealousy?" A joking voice came from behind, but it was the Ninth Prince who had arrived.

Huo Tianxin stepped back a little immediately, and the chair was pulled out on the ground with a "click", drawing sideways attention.

Ming Ling looked at her with a smile: "Wait, don't. Xin'er, with our relationship, there is no need to stand up and salute."

Bah, who is going to salute him, this is frightening, okay?

Huo Tianxin slandered secretly, twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Ninth Prince, the female relatives at our table, did you go to the wrong place?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the table over there with Huo Tianbei: "The man's seat is over there."

Mingling made a wait-and-see look, followed the direction of her finger for a while, and said slowly: "It's a pity that the seats at the other end of Tianbei are full, and there is no place for me to stay. As a last resort, I had to be cheeky and squeeze with the girls." It's squeezed. Anyway, I said to the seven-year-old, you are not as young as you are, and I am not weak, so I won't be criticized, so don't worry."

Huo Tianxin's smile froze on his face, "The Ninth Prince is very thoughtful."

"Of course." He took this as a compliment without any humility at all, pulled a chair and sat down beside her, took the flagon on the table and sniffed it curiously: "What kind of wine is this? It seems to be the same as ordinary wine. The wine is a little different?"

Huo Tianxin didn't want to pay attention to him, Fu Yatong continued: "This is the peach blossom wine unique to the General's Mansion. It has a light taste and won't get you drunk if you drink too much. It's most suitable for women. If the Ninth Prince wants to drink it, let the servant girl bring over other wines. "

Mingling waved his hand, motioning the servant girl to pour him a cup of peach blossom wine. He pinched the mouth of the cup with three fingertips and looked at it carefully, and praised: "The wine is clear and mellow, pink like peach blossom, with a refreshing fragrance. I have heard of peach blossom wine for a long time. Since I am waiting at the table with you, I will also taste the taste of this rumored peach blossom wine."

After finishing speaking, he raised his glass and took a sip, the tip of his tongue turned slightly, and the sweet and slightly cool taste spread in his mouth, with an indescribable floral fragrance and a slight astringency.

With a serious expression, he looked at the three girls with ruddy complexions, and calmly hooked his fingers at the guard behind him: "Ah Xiang, you go in person and ask the servant girl to serve another pot of peach blossom wine."

Huo Tianxin heard it strangely, but he didn't want to show it on his face, so he snorted softly: "What's the matter, could it be that the Ninth Prince thinks that our little girl is humble and doesn't want to drink a pot of wine with us?"

Ming Ling refilled his glass, put the jug by his hand, and said with a smile: "I was afraid that I would drink up all your wine and leave you with nothing to drink, so I asked Ah Xiang to take it out. I brought an extra pot. Ben Gong has good intentions, why did the taste change when it fell into your mouth?"

Huo Tian turned his head disdainfully: "It's up to you to know whether it's good intentions or not. There are so many maids in our mansion, who can't take the wine, and has to work for the guards of the Ninth Prince? God knows if the wine brought up has been added or not. s things?"

"Xin'er." Fu Yatong and Xu Yanxi were frightened by her rudeness, and both stretched out their hands to pull her.

Huo Tianxin finally recalled this solemn occasion and Mingling's special status, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and said in a low voice: "The little girl's words and deeds are insignificant, please be generous with the Ninth Prince, and don't be as knowledgeable as the little girl."

In her previous life, she had seen this master's perverse and violent behavior. If she angered him at her grandmother's birthday banquet, would she have to take the skin off her?
At the same time, she also found it strange that after being reborn, her temper was much calmer than before, and she was able to deal with everything calmly, and she was rarely agitated.But every time I meet this guy, I can't get up and have a good temper, and I don't know what's going on.

Mingling came here just to amuse her, the more annoyed she was, the more interesting he found it, so why would he care about her.

At this moment, Ah Xiang came up with the jug, and respectfully said: "Master, the peach blossom wine is here."

Ming Ling drank up the wine in the glass, motioned for him to pour it, then pointed to Huo Tianxin's glass, "Pour Miss Huo a glass too."

Huo Tianxin covered the mouth of the cup with his palm, but he refused to let him go, "Girls should not drink too much, the Ninth Prince should drink by himself."

Mingling raised his eyebrows, and said "Oh", "So Miss Huo's apology was so insincere, that she didn't even make an apology? This palace can be regarded as seeing the tutors of General Huo and Princess Mu."

He dragged all the elders into it again, Huo Tianxin quit, took the flagon from Ah Xiang's hand a little angrily, and said with a smile: "Xin'er means that if you want to apologize with the wine, you should Xin'er does it herself, how can she bother others and lose her sincerity."

As he spoke, he slowly poured a cup for himself, "Ninth Prince, it was the little girl who spoke rudely earlier, so I beg the Ninth Prince to be careful, don't lose your status and care about the little girl."

The last two sentences specially emphasized the tone, and it is not difficult to hear the taste of gnashing of teeth.Huo Tian raised his glass: "Little girl, drink first as a respect!"

After she finished speaking, she poured it into her mouth, and two or three drops of wine dripped onto her lips, adding a touch of tenderness to her bright red face, which she wiped off with her sleeve.

Mingling laughed, looking at her angry look, she found it more and more interesting, raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass, and said slowly: "Since Miss Huo is so sincere, I will forgive you."

He said it easily, but as soon as he drank the wine, he felt something was wrong.

It turned out that my guess was not wrong.
