Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 215 Banquet
When Huo Shijiu hurried all the way back to the Xiaoyi Academy, when he entered the courtyard gate, he was attracted by the quiet beauty in front of him.White snow accumulated on the roof, and the blue tiles were covered with a thick snow blanket, echoing the moonlight in the dark night sky.The red lanterns in the corridor exude soft light, casting bright and dark light and shadow on the vermilion lacquer pillars and fences, and the bright and soft light shines through the windows pasted with Goryeo paper. The beautiful silhouette of a woman with long hair is reflected on it. A volume.

The entire courtyard was softened by this silhouette, and even the coldness of early winter was completely wiped away.

He couldn't help slowing down his pace, for fear of disturbing the tranquility, but he felt that he really missed her because he didn't see her for a while.Since he got married, he has a son, and he is also near middle age, but he has given birth to so many sudden feelings that should be experienced by young men, which really makes him dumbfounded, but he is also intoxicated by it.

"Master Hou is back." The eldest maid Yuqiao lifted up the curtain and came out, just as she saw Huo Shijiu coming slowly, she hurriedly bowed her knees to salute, and turned around to pull up the pine and bamboo brocade curtain with bamboo for him.The brilliance of the house spread across the ground under Huo Jiujiu's feet.

He entered the door, handed the cloak to the servant girl, rubbed his hands together and entered the back room.

Jiang Wu had already put down the book, she was holding the carved pear wood kang with her left hand and looked at him with a smile, her posture was lazy and charming, her eyes were clear and warm.

Huo Shijiu couldn't help but leaned over and hugged her, kissed her eyelids and cheeks, and then sat down cross-legged on the kang opposite with a thick mattress.

Jiang Wu approached him with her hands on her chest, and said with a smile: "I caused you a big disaster, and you are not angry?"

"What's the big deal? You treat me as such a trivial matter? Even if you go and burn down the Du family's ancestral hall, I can support you." Huo Shijiu took the hot tea brought by Bingsong and took a sip After moistening his throat, he said, "I haven't eaten yet."

"I thought you had eaten at your mother's place." Jiang Wu turned around and ordered someone to go to the small kitchen to prepare, and then said with a smile: "Since you said so, next time there is someone who bullies Yuan'er undeservedly, I will burn her house down." Ancestral Shrine."

Huo Jiujiu smiled, nodded and said: "It's all up to you. I met Du Yongxin on the way back today. The old man thought he was going to sue the emperor. After seeing me, maybe he wanted to argue. But in the end I still didn’t dare to act. I despise such a person. I don’t care about my children. If I put my heart and soul into my wife, that’s all. Things are also secondary. Is this also called a man?"

"Evil forces?" Jiang Wu sneered, "You know it too."

"Yeah. I don't know what people say about me? But now you're almost overshadowing me." Huo Shijiu stretched out his long arms and tapped her on the forehead.

Jiang Wu liked Huo Shijiu's pampering on her more and more, and said like a fool: "If I'm not a bit wicked, I won't be a good match for you."

"Are you sure you married your husband and followed your husband, not because your nature is hard to change?"

"Bad guy." Jiang Wu rolled his eyes at him.

While talking, the servant brought up the food box and put on four Huo Shijiu's favorite side dishes, as well as a large bowl of shredded chicken noodles.Jiang Wu accompanied Huo Shijiu for dinner.After washing her mouth and wiping her hands, Jiang Wucai said: "Yuan'er's biological mother's dowry has a part of the manor and shop. She has been in the hands of her stepmother since she was a child, and she has not been taught in this regard. I want to help her hire a manor. The shopkeeper is here to help. Ms. Yang must have a suitable candidate, and I want to ask him for help later."

Huo Shijiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Yang? You mean Yang Xi, the current owner of Wanlong Bank?"

"Exactly." Jiang Wu lay down on a crooked side, and said, "I still have some friendship with her."

"It was she who wanted to make friends with you."

"I know. One is because of you, a big tree. Two is because of Mo Ran, and the third is because she likes me. But it doesn't matter. Whether it is for you or for Mo Ran, you are all people I know , are part of my current life, I don't mind at all being the reason why others make friends with me, on the contrary..."

Jiang Wu was talking eloquently when suddenly Huo Shijiu stretched out his hand to her.She was too lazy to dodge, so Huo Jiujiu pulled her wrist and dragged her to her body, and tightly sealed her red lips.

Her long hair hung over his knees, and her soft body and plump softness softened in his arms. After a lingering kiss, Huo Shijiu said unsteadily, "Only I am you." a part of."

How could this person be jealous just because of a single sentence?

Jiang Wu chuckled lightly.

Huo Shijiu kissed her neck and ears in embarrassment, and said vaguely: "You still laugh, don't laugh."

These two parts of Jiang Wu are the most sensitive|sensitive and ticklish, she was imprisoned by him and couldn't dodge, so she had to drill into his arms, she was out of breath with a warm|soft voice: "I know, I know... "

Huo Shijiu turned around and extinguished the silk lamp on the table, and the inner room was plunged into darkness immediately, except for a lamp left on the side, from which faint brilliance flowed.Seeing the charming woman lying on his arms, he couldn't help but put his hand into her small clothes and whispered, "Let's go to the bed to study it."

"What are you studying?" Jiang Wu's voice was low and soft.

"Study the emperor's question."

"The emperor's question?"

"That's right. The emperor asked me, if I indulged you like this, did I let you be on top at that time? I just read a few books... Let's give it a try."

"You and the emperor actually said such a thing! You bastard..."

Without waiting for Jiang Wu to resist, Huo Shijiu had carried her back to the Babu bed.The curtain of the same color of water and sky fell, covering the spring|color in it.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Wu's legs and body were sore, and she was so tired that she didn't want to get up. If Bing Song hadn't whispered outside, "Madam, I'd better get up and prepare. After all, it's a banquet for the British government. You still need to dress up. Don't miss it." It's time." She never thought of it.

"Where is Lord Hou?"

"Master Hou went out early in the morning."

He does have spirit...

Bingsong and Yuqiao helped Jiang Wu wash and change clothes, and went to bring breakfast.Jiang Wu used some in a hurry, first put on homely clothes and went to the room to pay respects to Mrs. Zhao, and then gave the seven catties to her mother-in-law and mother to take care of, and then said: "I may come back later today, the British lady gave it to me earlier." The post said that there is a banquet, and I will go there at noon."

Both Zhao and Tang were worried, and they gave Jiang Wu some advice.Jiang Wu naturally answered yes, and then went back to the bedroom.

While Jiang Wu was dressing, Huo Jiujiu in the study in the outer courtyard was also very busy.

Huo Shijiu wore a sable cloak with a sable collar on his shoulders, sat lazily on the armchair behind the desk, and said lightly: "... I also know that it is presumptuous to invite a few of you rashly today. It is different today. In the past, I was just an idle marquis, and I don't know if I will lose your status."

"What did godfather say!"

"Didn't the godfather slap us in the face? When the godfather went to Jinzhou, the son was indeed busy with business, so he couldn't get away from it."

"Yeah, Godfather, how can Xiaobie destroy the father-son relationship between our men?"

……

The four adults chatted a lot, the oldest of whom was over sixty years old.

Huo Nineteen waved his hands and smiled slightly.

When he smiled, he showed his bright teeth, but his sharp eyes were concealed. He looked a bit childish, but it made the four of them even more frightened.At the beginning, they had indeed seen Huo Jiujiu being alienated from his official position as the commander of the Jinyiwei, and seeing Huo Jiujiu leaving Beijing due to illness, they still thought that this person would never return to the capital, and they all felt that they were on the wrong side After leaving the team, I don't know what to do next.

Unexpectedly, the young Marquis of Jin Ning actually mastered the Tiger Talisman, and brought the Three Thousand Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion suddenly descended from heaven, forcing the Duke of England to give up his previous plan.And Marquis Jinning didn't need to return to the fief because the emperor missed him and didn't want him to leave.

Nowadays, no one with discerning eyes knows that the emperor is not alienating him, but trusting him even more.Now that he holds the Tiger Talisman in his hand, doesn't he have more real power than the Commander of Jin Yiwei?Besides, who said that if he resigned from Jinyiwei, his influence would no longer exist?Is there no eyeliner he planted in Dongchang Fanzi?

The four wanted to flatter and apologize, but they were afraid of plucking the tiger's whiskers, so they hesitated and were invited here before they could make a move.The backs of their undershirts, which were tense at the moment, were all wet and stuck to their bodies. Seeing Huo Shijiu, they felt even more guilty, and were afraid that he would pursue them.

After all, Huo Shijiu is famous for his revenge.

Huo Shijiu stood up and walked slowly to the window, and the four of them bowed respectfully and followed behind him.

Turning around and sighing, Huo Shijiu said: "Forget it, after all, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. You are all sensible people, and I am not a fool. There is no need to say many things clearly. You are all older than me. I really can't bear the title of godfather."

"Oh, godfather, you really killed your sons."

"Why can't you afford it? Earlier, my son ate shit and lard covered his heart, so don't take it to heart."

Several people apologized and begged for mercy, and they were about to kneel and kowtow.

Huo Shijiu only gave them a hand and glanced at them, and they didn't dare to force their knees to play tricks.

"I called you here today because I have serious business to do."

When they heard that Huo Shijiu had ordered them to do it, they were immediately shocked, and they were willing to use them, instead of alienating them as before, that is to say, Huo Shijiu still regarded them as members of his own camp, so they didn't have to go for the time being. Looking for a backer.

"If you have any orders from your godfather, just say it. As long as your son can do it."

Huo Shijiu said: "I know, all of your wives have been invited to the British government for a banquet today. Your godmothers are straightforward and rarely attend banquets. I don't want her to suffer any grievances."

The four of them understood as soon as they heard it, and they were all very surprised.

Emotional fanfare called them here, just for this matter!
Who doesn't know how straightforward the "godmother" is, she is a shrew who can beat people with a raise of her hand and burn her natal house down.Godfather should be worried about others being wronged, right?
"Yes, yes, even if the godfather didn't order it, we would have thought of it a long time ago. We must not let the godmother suffer."

"That's true. Last time, there was a girl who didn't have long eyes who ran into the godmother. If the godfather hadn't bravely entered the water to save people...don't worry, godfather, I will tell Zhuo Jing when I go back." The speaker was Qianhu Zheng Fanglong, niece Zheng Ruoqian once She was Huo Shijiu's fifth concubine, and his wife, Sun, had accompanied Huo Shijiu to attend the banquet of the British government before Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu got married.

Wang Jiwen, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, also said: "When I go back, my son will also tell my wife." Wang Jiwen's wife, Mrs. Liu, also attended the banquet at the beginning, and he also heard about it from Mrs. Liu.

Huo Jiujiu said with satisfaction: "That's how I will trouble everyone."

"Don't dare, godfather shouldn't be polite to his sons. What else does godfather want?"

"Nothing."

"It was not too early at that time, and the sons took leave, and told their godfather what they wanted before the banquet began."

Huo Shijiu let out an "um" and sat down in the armchair by the window.

The four quickly saluted and retreated.

When they got outside, they were blown by the cold wind with snowflakes, and they were all shivering. Only then did they realize that even their clothes and trousers were drenched in cold sweat.

Cao Yu came into the house after a few people walked away, "Master, I don't think it might be appropriate to arrange only those few people, after all, they are just a group of women."

Huo Shijiu nodded and said, "I think so too. Why don't you and I go there in person."

"But this banquet was organized by the British Duchess, and all the female relatives were invited."

Huo Shijiu stood up and said with a smile: "I don't believe we went, the British Duke can drive us out. Mo Ran, you pay me for going."

"Of course it's good." Cao Yu let go of his hanging heart. Of course he was worried.At that time at the banquet in the British government, when Jiang Wu fell into the lotus pond and was rescued by Huo Jiujiu, he turned pale and passed out. At that time, he didn't care, but now he can't get rid of it in his mind.

It turned out that he cared about one person, and even his memory began to favor her.Forget some things, but remember some things that you didn't care about.

The Royal Palace of England is shrouded in joy at the moment, with various horse-drawn carriages coming and going, all of them are rich and noble. Because of the large area of ​​the Royal Palace and the cold weather, the Duke’s wife specially ordered someone to open the side door, so that all the guests do not have to get out of the carriage. , driving directly from the corridor of the side door all the way into the Qiuhua Hall, which is used for banquets today.

Among the moving carriages, the carriage with the Huo family logo is particularly eye-catching, not only because the carriage is luxurious, but even the two palace lanterns hanging on the side of the carriage are made of glass lampshades.It was even more because the person in the carriage rarely attended banquets.If there were not enough people to post, she would not appear easily.

The noble ladies looked down on this woman who was born in a noble family but did not look like a lady.They are also jealous that she can marry a husband who loves her unconditionally.Although her husband is not a good bird... However, judging by her behavior, she set fire to the house and knocked on the door to beat Mrs. Du's family violently. It also proves that she is not a good bird, and their couple is a "made in heaven" couple after all.

Although they looked down upon and envied her, these people were also in awe of her.

After all, apart from those idle princes who didn't care about other things, only the Duke of England and Huo Shijiu could walk sideways.The carriage stopped slowly in front of the courtyard where the Qiuhua Hall was located, and the four beautiful maidservants moved the footstools in an orderly manner to raise the curtain of the carriage.

"Ma'am, please."

Stretched out a snow-white hand wearing a diamond ring from the carriage, the maid hurriedly supported it, and saw a gorgeously made-up beauty in a scarlet cloak with a white fox fur collar and a scarlet Guanyin pocket leaning out, and then lifted her skirt He got off the carriage lightly.The beauty stood under the carriage, and the maid immediately handed her a delicate hand stove the size of an apple, and straightened her cloak and hat.She raised her eyebrows and smiled, her red lips were bright and charming.

I have never met the legendary Mrs. Huo's noble lady, and I have the same thought in my heart: no wonder Marquis Jin Ning dotes on her.Such a goblin has the capital to be pampered.

Jiang Wu didn't know so many people, she didn't want to make friends with anyone, and she didn't want to offend anyone, so she only stepped on Danchi accompanied by her maidservant, and went straight to the gate of the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, after only two steps, four noble ladies came up to greet them. The elder of these four was in his early fifties with a stocky figure, and the younger was nearly 30 years old. mother."

amount……

Jiang Wu's footsteps stopped.

Among the four people, two people with familiar eyes came forward, one on the left and one on the right took the position of the servant girl, supported Jiang Wu's arm, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm here to welcome you again, It's been nearly a year since I last spoke to you, and the godmother probably doesn't recognize me anymore. I'm Mrs. Sun."

"At that time, the godmother hadn't left the cabinet, but now it's a family. Godmother, I'm the Liu family, and my husband's surname is Wang."

Jiang Wu has an excellent memory. When they held her arms, she already remembered that these two nieces used to be Huo Shijiu's concubines, and she had indeed seen them at the banquet in the British government before leaving the cabinet.

"I remember, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Wang." Jiang Wu smiled and nodded to the other two, "These two should be Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li?"

The other two only met Jiang Wu from a distance during Jiang Wu's big wedding and the seven-jin full moon, but never met Jiang Wu at close range. Now seeing Jiang Wu's beautiful appearance and gentle conversation, she was not as rude as the rumors said, and felt in her heart Heaved a sigh of relief, everyone hurriedly saluted.After all, if she is really unreasonable, they will have to suffer any grievances today.

With four ladies surrounded by them, they called each other affectionately as "Godmother", as if they were closer than their own mothers. On the way to the front hall, Jiang Wu did attract the attention of many people.

Jiang Wu never cared what others think of her.The four "goddess-in-laws" also forced themselves to pretend not to see them, and put on an appearance of "Cheng Huan's knees", and served Jiang Wu, who was only 17 years old, to the main hall.

As soon as I entered the door, a scent of flowers mixed with an unknown fragrance came to my nostrils, warm as spring.The Qiuhua Hall is very spacious, surrounded by Eight Immortals tables, neatly laid light green brocade tablecloths on the table, with a set of desserts and fruits on top, and the same light green brocade on the embroidered pier and the rose chair placed against the wall Chairs and mattresses.There are exquisite flowerpots placed on the height table near the window, and the flowers of various colors are in full bloom, decorating the house like a spring day, not an early winter.

"The Duke's Mansion is really extraordinary. At this time, there are still so many new flowers and fruits."

"Those are all flowers specially cultivated by the greenhouse, and they are specially placed for today's banquet."

"The Duke's wife is really a wonderful person, and thanks to the blessed land of the Duke's Mansion, such delicate and beautiful flowers can be grown."

Jiang Wu walked all the way to the central seat, and from a distance, she heard a few women in their Pentate years wearing gold and brocade swarming around the British princess and flattering her.Beside them were accompanied by several young and pretty girls.

The Duke and Duchess of England looked past the crowd and saw Jiang Wu, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Jin Ninghou, I have finally arrived, but I miss you so much."

The laughter in the hall immediately quieted down.Everyone looked at this side.

Jiang Wu smiled and bowed to the British lady, and then saluted the eldest lady, second lady, and third lady, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the old lady for not giving up, I will definitely come to your post, besides, I haven't seen you for a long time. I also miss the old lady."

"Come here and sit down." The British princess hurriedly moved aside, and a seat was vacated in the large double chair at the main seat.

Jiang Wu smiled and said she didn't dare, but was forced to sit down together by the British princess, patted the back of her hand affectionately and said: "Oh, Marquis Jin Ning is lucky to marry such a beautiful woman like a flower bone. "

"The old lady was joking, can..."

"It is her blessing to be able to marry Marquis Jin Ning."

Before Jiang Wu finished speaking, she was interrupted by a female voice. Looking for the source of the sound, she saw Song Ke'er in a peach red jacket and skirt, with a double flat bun, dressed like a girl.

Song Ke'er, the eldest daughter of Marquis Xinchang, is now 25 years old. Yunying is still unmarried. She is a well-known old girl in the capital city. One-hearted love, this is an unspoken secret in the city of Kyoto.The last time Jiang Wu met Song Ke'er at the British Duke's mansion, she had to go out to change her clothes because she wet her dress, and heard the British Duke's conversation, which led to the incident later.

The women love to gossip, seeing Song Ke'er arrived, the room became quieter, and they seemed to want to hear how the two women were jealous.

Jiang Wu smiled and said: "What Miss Song said is true, it is indeed my blessing."

Song Ke'er stood aside haughtily, staring at Jiang Wu, who had a delicate face, and was speechless for a moment.The feeling of hitting the cotton with a fist is more irritating than her retorting lips.

The Duke and Duchess of England smiled and said: "Mrs. Jin Ninghou is really knowledgeable and reasonable, she is a model for women."

"Yeah yeah."

The wives around agreed, but secretly laughed in their hearts.

Who knew about the fire in Jiang's house and the accident in Du's house?What is a "model of women", if all the women in the world are like her, wouldn't all the back houses of the Great Yan Dynasty be blown up?She is clearly the best among shrews!

Song Ke'er said sarcastically: "Indeed, Mrs. Jin Ninghou's demeanor is something that ordinary women can't do."

The British princess made a pun, but Song Keer's jealousy sparked a wildfire.The four "daughters-in-law" beside Jiang Wu didn't know how to rescue Jiang Wu for a while.Even if you don't have to care about the eldest daughter of Xinchanghou's family, the Duke and Duchess of England can't ignore it.

Just when all the wives wanted to see how embarrassed Jiang Wu was, Jiang Wu suddenly stood up and walked towards Song Ke'er in a leisurely manner.As he walked, he went to untie the bow tied on the neckline of the cloak.

Song Ke'er was tall and tall, and she was eight years older than Jiang Wu, but in front of the delicate and delicate Jiang Wu, she lost her momentum in an instant, because the sneer on Jiang Wu's face and the sharpness in her eyes were too uncomfortable.

The closer she got, the more Song Ke'er couldn't help but want to back away.She doesn't want to be the second Mrs. Du. If she is arrested and disfigured, how can she see people?Besides, she is not a shrew, even if she is beaten by a shrew today, how can she gain a good reputation?

So the closer she got, Song Ke'er took two steps back instead.Jiang Wu stopped, handed the cloak to Bingsong beside her, and said with a smile: "Miss Song, I haven't seen you for a long time, you still haven't changed much."
