Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 339 Reconciliation Banquet (4)
When Yueqing came to the front yard with Sanyu Xiaoqing'er and Qiao'er who had returned, they saw many people standing or sitting in the yard.
The ground originally paved with bluestone in the front yard has now been covered with a cyan printed carpet.
There are several fine red pine square tables in the courtyard.
There are many bright flower arrangements on the table, all in special pastel jade bottles. Several bottles of flower arrangements are placed symmetrically on both sides, and there are some fruit plates, pastry plates, tea and fruit drinks in the middle.
A flower gallery was arranged on the outside. Fresh and bright flowers and plants were woven around the gallery, with soft tulle floating in it. The sound of music coming from nowhere came melodiously. Let this originally beautiful courtyard become overflowing with the fragrance of flowers and fairy spirit.
Yu Xinzheng, Yu Ting, Shi Ying and several other women stood in front of those tables and smiled and said something. There were some maids standing around to serve them.
King Bowei and other men were sitting in a pavilion with Mo Xue and Yue Ke drinking tea. Qi Jiao was standing by the pavilion wondering what he was thinking, looking a little out of place. Yu Ze was also sitting with them, But he just watched and didn't speak. Song Huai and two red guards were sitting at the special stone table under the pavilion. Chang Rong and Liu Bai were not there.
Seeing Yueqing come out, Shi Ying first shouted: "Ah, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Everyone looked over.
Yue Qing smiled and said: "Oh, I'm so sorry. I ate too much at noon and fell asleep. I just woke up not long ago."
Shi Ying refused and said: "You are such a good host. Everyone is the host waiting for guests to come to the door. It would be better for you. The guests are waiting for you in the courtyard. Have you forgotten all about inviting us to dinner? ”
Yue Qing has already walked up to her, stepped forward and took her hand and said: "How could it be? There are many people in charge of things around me. Just give me a casual order and everyone will be arranged properly. No, I am in the inner courtyard. Sleep, everything has been arranged outside."
Shi Ying felt her hand and found that there was nothing in it. She was a little disappointed. She looked at her and said, "That's true. As soon as we came, someone took us to the garden. I have never seen so many strange things." The flowers and plants are so beautiful that my eyes are dazzled by them. There are also these living water channels, which are clear and gorgeous, and the stone bridges are simple, magnificent and ingenious. They are also more beautiful."
Yue Qing smiled: "Looking at your excitement, it doesn't matter. The inner courtyard is more beautiful. I will take you to see it later."
Shi Ying said in surprise: "Oh my god, this is nothing. The only garden in Beijing with such scenery is in the palace. The inner courtyard is actually even more beautiful than here."
Yue Qing said: "Of course, hey, they didn't know how much money they invested just to make my stay more comfortable."
Shi Ying said happily: "That's great, I must go in and see it."
Yue Qing said: "Of course, not only you can go in, but also the female family members who are here today can go in and watch."
Several women next to Shi Ying immediately laughed and nodded in thanks.
Shi Rong also came over, "It's a pity that I didn't get to see the scenery in the inner courtyard."
Yue Qing looked at him and smiled and said: "Who said you are a man? If you were a girl, I would also invite you in to have a look."
Shi Rong touched his chin: "Hey, I was born in the wrong child. I should have known that I would be reborn as a daughter."
Everyone laughed.
Marquis Dingyuan smiled and said: "It is indeed a pity. This makes Master Shi Rong want to see the scenery in the inner courtyard that he would rather be a woman. We also want to see it."
Shi Ying said: "Don't worry, after we watch it, we will tell you a good story."
Marquis Dingyuan nodded: "Then it's all up to you." Then he said to Yue Qing: "Princess, you said you would treat us to dinner, wouldn't it be just these. Although these fruit refreshments are good, these alone are not enough. Not full. I heard from Shi Rong that the food here is delicious and very different from the taste in Li country. I have an empty stomach just for this."
Yue Qing said: "Of course not, these are just snacks before and after the meal, just for you to try."
Marquis Dingyuan said: "That's good, then I can wait to taste the delicious food and wine."
Yue Qing said: "There is no alcohol. Our villa is very strict. Anyone who is serving me must be sober at all times. It is estimated that there is not a drop of alcohol in the entire courtyard."
Marquis Dingyuan looked at Qi Jiao and said, "There is no man who doesn't drink. Without wine, the fun of life will be reduced by half."
Qi Jiao didn't want to pay attention to him. Thinking that he was the guest of the master, he turned around and said with a smile: "Marquis Dingyuan, don't worry so much. The men in our villa will not feel that there is anything missing in life just because of the presence or absence of wine."
Shi Hu laughed and continued: "Then why do you think there is less fun in life, women? Hahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw everyone looking at him and immediately shut up.
Mo Xue said gently: "Young Master Shi Hu should stop saying such disrespectful words. Not to mention what the princess will think, you should always consider the girls who are traveling with you."
Shi Hu sneered.
Yue Qing said: "Mo Xue is right, Shi Hu, although you are a guest today, if you say such things again, be careful I ask you to dance for me in that pavilion to entertain me."
Shi Ying immediately laughed out loud.
The two girls next to him also laughed, and the other one glared at him.
Shi Hu looked at them, rubbed his head and said, "I can't dance."
Yue Qing said: "That's easy. Didn't we bring back a prisoner today? I think he was very angry today, so he just happened to pull him out to fight with you. You two can put on a show for us."
Shi Hu glared and said, "I'm not going to perform. I'm here to eat. I can't just let you laugh."
Yue Qing smiled and scolded: "Then you just eat honestly today and don't talk too much."
Shi Hu scratched his head and laughed twice.
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop standing and sit down to eat and chat. Let Chang Shen serve the food."
Chang Shen nodded and said hello to one side.
An attendant bent down by the courtyard door, turned and left.
After a while, a group of people came over carrying a long table. There were things on the table, and the fragrant smell was wafting around. Even if the things were covered, you knew they were food.
Marquis Dingyuan said: "The princess actually brings out the table and rice when treating guests. The behavior of this villa is indeed different from our Li country. But the fragrance is indeed mouth-watering. It seems that we are in for a treat today."
Yue Qing smiled.
The table was brought closer and lowered gently. It is more than ten meters long and two meters wide, with eight pairs of legs alone. The table is covered with a colorful and exquisite brocade tablecloth, and underneath the tablecloth is soft yellow and blue soft cloth and satin.
After the table was put down, the attendants took away the coverings, cloths, etc. Everyone's eyes lit up as they saw the dishes on the table were rich in color, some fresh and some gorgeous. There is a row of flower baskets placed in the middle of the table. The flowers are fragrant, colorful and pleasing to the eye. The tableware on the table is uniform and various. In addition to silver chopsticks and spoons, there are also forks, sapphire plates, bowls, glass cups, cups, and a small plate. There are some soft dishes stacked next to each set of tableware. cloth.
Shi Hu shouted: "Princess Princess, why do you put so many things on the table for just one meal?"
Yue Qing said: "The function is different. If the meat had not been cut in advance, a knife would have been put on it. I usually eat like this."
While they were talking, the people who moved the tables retreated in an orderly manner, and another group of people walked over with them, carrying special mahogany dining chairs with backrests and armrests, which were wide and comfortable. Most of the styles are uniform, except for one chair, which is different from everyone else. It is placed in the middle of the east side. The chair is covered with soft cushions, whether it is the place where you sit, the place where you lean on the back or the place where you hold your hands. Embroidered with exquisite flower and bird patterns.
Seeing them put them away, Yue Qing said, "Okay, everyone, sit down quickly. Let's sit down and eat and chat." After that, she walked towards the distinctive soft chair.
Everyone in the villa also sat down on Yue Qing's side, and King Bowei and other guests were led by their attendants to sit down on the opposite side.
King Bowei glanced at the opposite side. He was facing Yue Qing. On the left were Mo Xue, Qi Jiao and three Red Guards, a total of five people. On the right are Chang Yuxiao, Yue Ke, Yuze, and sisters Yuxin and Yuting.
Behind her stood the uncommon Chang Shen and three female envoys named Zhu Wei.
King Bowei looked this way, and Yue Qing also looked at the opposite side with interest, and saw Shi Rong and Marquis Dingyuan sitting on the left and right of King Bowei respectively. On Shi Rong's side were Shi Ying and three other girls, Dingyuan Hou was a young woman and Shi Hu, and King Jiabowei, a total of nine people.
Except for the five people I already knew, the other four people didn't know each other.
Yue Qing said: "Who are these girls? Shi Ying, please introduce them to me."
Shi Ying was originally attracted by these things on the table. After hearing what she said, she quickly said: "Oh, I was so stunned by these novel things of yours that I almost didn't hear you calling me. Oh, by the way, I haven't given it yet. You introduced me, this is my cousin Zhuang Feier. I heard today that we were coming to ask for this place, so I hurried over."
Yue Qing smiled at her and nodded. "Hello, Sister Feier."
Zhuang Feier looked at her and said, "Princess Shun'an is different from the rumors."
Yue Qing asked with a smile: "What are the rumors like?"
"Rumors say that you are overbearing, rude, short-sighted and ignorant. I originally believed it because of Prince Yongjing's palace, but now that I have seen it today, my opinion has completely changed. I really want to give some advice to those people who talk nonsense. Big mouth, you talk nonsense when you don’t know anything. If you are short-sighted and ignorant, then there will be no knowledgeable people in this capital. Oh, I really envy you. We are both princesses. How can my mansion be compared with yours? , but it’s too different.”
"Sister Fei'er is also the princess?"
"Yes, I am Princess Ming'an. I have the same highest title as your Princess Shun'an."
"The title of Princess Princess also has levels."
Zhuang Feier covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Of course, the princesses, princesses, and county heads of Li Country are all ranked according to the four characters of An, Ning, Le, and Ping. An is the highest grade, and Ping is the lowest grade. "
Yue Qing nodded: "Oh, that's it. For the sake of our princess, who also has the title of An, I will give you a good thing."
Everyone looked over, especially Shi Ying's eyes.
Mo Xue smiled and said, "What do you want to give me, Miss?"
Yue Qing said: "It must be kept secret. Now that we have said it, there is nothing new."
Mo Xue: "Miss, are you ready for this gift?"
Yue Qing said: "I've thought about it, but I haven't done it yet."
Mo Xue laughed and said, "That's it." Then she stopped talking.
Over there, Zhuang Fei'er said, "I'm a guest here and I actually got a gift, but it's a pity that I can't get it today."
Yue Qing said: "Sister Fei'er, don't worry. You can go back and get some sleep tonight. This gift will be delivered to your door tomorrow."
Zhuang Feier said with a pink face and a smile: "Then I'll wait. If this gift is not good, I won't want it."
"Don't worry, you will definitely like it."
Zhuang Feier covered her mouth with a fan and looked at her interestingly.
Shi Ying pointed to the girl on the far side and continued: "Shi Hu's sister Shi Mi is also my cousin. Sitting between them is Dingyuan Hou's sister Cheng Jingjing."
Yue Qing looked at the two of them, smiled and said, "Hello sisters."
Shi Mi is kind of honest and honest, not very old, but Cheng Jingjing is older, and she seems to have a free and easy temperament.
Sure enough, I just heard her say: "Fei'er has a gift, do we two have any? We are both guests. Sister Yuqing, please don't treat Fei'er differently just because she is the princess."
Yue Qing laughed, "Yes, yes, there are all the people I met for the first time today."
Shi Ying's expression stiffened.
Cheng Jingjing said: "That's great. Sister Yuqing is such a forthright person. We will definitely become very good friends."
Yue Qing nodded: "I also think that we will get along well. I also particularly like people who are straightforward."
Cheng Jingjing laughed a few times: "The princess will come to my place as a guest someday. Although our home is not as elegant as yours, I sincerely invite you, and I will definitely prepare the best things in my house to entertain you."
Yue Qing nodded: "Okay, I will definitely go. When you are ready, send me a message. However, it is not easy for me to go out this time. I have to bring at least ten family members with me."
Mo Xue's face was uncertain.
Cheng Jingjing looked at Mo Xue and the others: "Okay, we'll welcome you when you come, right brother."
Marquis Dingyuan nodded quickly: "Of course, everyone in the villa can come to our house as a guest, and our whole house welcomes them."
Shi Ying waited for them to finish speaking, then looked at the woman next to Shi Hu: "That is my cousin-in-law, Shi Hu's wife."
Mrs. Shi stood up and said, "I have met the princess."
Yue Qing said quickly: "No, please sit down quickly. Today we are just having a meal among friends. There are not so many rules. Mrs. Shi can just be casual."
After sitting down, Mrs. Shi smiled and said: "The Princess has a kind-hearted nature, and is not as unruly and willful as those people say outside. On the other hand, my official is too reckless and always says the wrong things. Princess, please don't talk to him." General knowledge."
Shi Hu glanced at her from the side: "Why did you say that to me in front of everyone?"
Mrs. Shi glared at him and said: "Why can't you say it? I don't know how many wrong things you said when you came to this courtyard today. Thanks to the kindness of the princess. If Shi Rong and the prince were not here on weekdays, you wouldn't have known that you would break into the courtyard." What a disaster."
Shi Hu said nothing with a stern look on his face.
Yue Qing looked at them and smiled: "I didn't expect General Shi Hu to have a wife."
Marquis Dingyuan asked curiously: "What does this wife mean?"
Yue Qing was stunned for a moment: "Oh, that's what Madam means. We are used to calling her that in the villa."
Marquis Dingyuan glanced at Mo Xue, and Mo Xue nodded at him and said, "It's true that people in the villa are called that way."
Shi Rong looked at Yue Ke, "But I heard Yue Ke call her Madam before."
Yue Qing said: "That's because different cities have different names. This is the name in the main city of our villa."
Shi Rong smiled and nodded: "That's it."
Yue Ke said: "Brother Shi Rong, why do you remember these little things so clearly? I am the best at following the local customs. I will just follow the local names."
Shi Rong nodded: "That's true. Then I'll call you the same when I meet the lady in the villa in the future."
Yue Qing interrupted him: "Hey, don't."
Shi Rong laughed: "Oh, why?"
Yue Qing said: "Wife is a nickname, and can only be called by those who are close to you, just like you would think of your own wife and wife. Think about how Shi Hu would handle this matter if Mrs. Shi was your wife. It would definitely not be better. Familiar People think that people who don’t know are not to blame, just explain it clearly. If you are not familiar with this, then you will definitely be served with sticks, swords and guns. When the time comes, you will blame me after you have suffered a loss, and I will not admit it."
Shi Rong nodded: "I see. Fortunately, the princess reminded me, otherwise I would definitely suffer this loss."
Yue Qing said: "That's right, just honestly call me the way you usually call me. You can't be wrong."
Mrs. Shi said: "The name of the Villa is quite strange."
Shi Hu said: "What's so weird? I think other countries also have other names. It's normal. I said, are we just talking like this? I'm already hungry."
Yue Qing smiled and said: "That's right, hurry up and eat, don't just talk."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and rolled it into his mouth.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks.
The ladies probably had never eaten in front of such outsiders, so they were a little shy.
Especially Zhuang Fei'er, looking at the food in front of her, felt a little embarrassed to eat it. She had never seen many things before, and it would be embarrassing if she didn't eat them properly. I turned around and glanced at everyone here. They all had surprised expressions on their faces. It looked like these dishes must be delicious. Especially the way Shi Hu was devouring the food made her feel a little hungry.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up a piece of meat in front of him and put it into his mouth. He was immediately stunned.
It's fish, but it doesn't exactly look like fish. It's wrapped in something, so you can't taste it. But it tastes really good. She has never eaten fish with this taste. Suddenly I felt that the chef in the house was not very good at cooking, and the fish I had eaten in the past had no flavor at all. When you get back, drive them out of the house.
I looked at other dishes and didn’t know where to start.
Yue Qing looked at her and smiled.
King Bowei sat across from her, and of course he knew what she was thinking. Not only was Fei'er having a hard time making a move, but most of the others were also a little confused, except of course Shi Hu.
Seeing Yue Qing smile at this time, I don't know what she is planning in her heart.
Just listen to Yue Qing say loudly: "Chang Shen, you really put some effort into these dishes today and did a good job."
Chang Shen nodded quickly and said, "As long as Miss is satisfied."
Everyone looked over.
Yue Qing put down her chopsticks, picked up a fork and circled it on the plate a few times. She wrapped the filament on the plate around the fork, picked up the plate on the side and brought it to her mouth, put it in her mouth and chewed it a few times.
"Well, these crystal vermicelli are crisp and refreshing, with a moderate sweet and salty taste, just right. Sister Fei'er, try it."
Zhuang Fei'er imitated her and took a bite: "Well, it is indeed delicious. What is this crystal vermicelli? I have never eaten it before."
"This, its raw material is beans or potatoes. It's not complicated to make. It only requires a few steps. It's a specialty of our villa. If you like it, I'll send some to your house later."
Zhuang Feier nodded.
Yue Qing smiled, put down her fork, tore off a piece of pancake on a meat plate, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, put it on the pancake, put some green vegetables on it, and circled the pancake. Put it in my mouth and take a bite.
"Well, this roast duck tastes good. It's oily but not greasy. It's juicy and full of flavor when you bite it. It's paired with green vegetables and has distinct flavors. Sister Shi Mi, give it a try."
Shi Mi followed suit and ate one, nodding quickly: "Yeah, it's so delicious."
Everyone quickly followed suit and started eating.
Yue Qing then ate other things, sometimes with a spoon, sometimes with a fork, and sometimes with chopsticks.
Shi Hu said directly: "These dishes have so many varieties, no wonder they use so many things. And Princess, I have never eaten the things you have here. The taste of these dishes is amazing, they are so delicious." "
Yue Qing put a piece of preserved egg into her mouth with a fork, and said with a smile: "Yeah, it's delicious, but don't eat it in a hurry. These are just appetizers, and the main dish is yet to come."
Shi Hu was stunned for a moment, "Why are there still dishes?"
"Of course, these are cold dishes. The hot dishes haven't been served yet. I think it's almost ready, Chang Shen. Let's serve it quickly."
Chang Shen gestured again, and the attendant nodded and left. After a while, large plates of exquisite dishes were served.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The attendants not only brought big dishes, but also candlesticks with candles. The sky was getting darker, and these candlelights immediately had an effect.
There are also many novel styles of dishes, and Yue Qing also demonstrated them to them.
After everyone tasted it, they were even more amazed.
Marquis Dingyuan said: "I always thought that I had eaten more delicious food than others. I realized today that I am short-sighted. No wonder people say that the villa is rich and powerful. Not to mention the courtyard, you can see it from these meals alone." . There are such delicacies in this world. It’s a pity that I have grown up so big and haven’t eaten them until today. Princess, do you think the villa always hides these things from outsiders? Isn’t it too stingy?”
Shi Rong said: "Brother Cheng is right. Brother Yue Ke, they all say that your Yue family is good at doing business. I don't think it's that good. If I were the Yue family, I could be as rich as the country just by working on these delicacies. "
Yue Ke smiled and said: "Brother Shi Rong is wrong. We people in the villa don't eat these things very often. Only the main city of the villa can enjoy these things. These things will not be spread easily. What are you doing today? Being able to have such a good taste is all due to the young lady's temporary curiosity. I must thank you for having a hunting ground that can attract the young lady."
Shi Rong smiled: "Then Shi should really be lucky, otherwise he would have missed these delicacies."
Yue Ke looked at him with some warning.
Shi Rong pretended not to see it.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied with their meal, Yue Qing said with a smile: "I feel relieved to see that you are so satisfied. There was nothing serious this morning. It was only because of my anger that I made a few of you lose face in front of everyone.
Although people around me don't have these thoughts, I heard that men in Li country care about these things. I still want to have fun in Li Country in the future, but I must not offend too many people. Everyone must put it down after eating my food, and they must not bear grudges against me in the future. "
Shi Hu said: "Princess Princess, you are absolutely right. The competition this morning was really heartwarming."
Mrs. Shi kicked him quickly.
Shi Hu glanced at her and continued: "But I can't blame you. If I want to blame, it's our lack of skill. The people around the princess are indeed too strong. We don't take it to heart that the princess is relieved."
Mrs. Shi laughed.
Shi Rong also said: "It is indeed very strong. Shi Rong did not expect that everyone in the villa is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also so skilled in horse fighting."
Yue Qing said: "That's right, how can a less powerful person follow him out of the villa?"
Shi Rong said: "Speaking of which, any person brought out by the princess from the villa will be a hero in Li country. It would be a pity to just be a follower."
Yue Qing glared at him: "What do you mean, are you accusing me?"
Shi Rong waved his hand quickly: "No, Shi Rong just sighed at the strength of everyone's abilities. After all, the Villa is not Li Country. It has its own rules of conduct. I don't dare to make any accusations."
Then he looked around and continued: "But I see that Mr. Chang Ge never leaves the princess's side on weekdays. Why is he not here now? There are three other Mr. Red Guards who are not here either."
The faces of everyone in the villa were somewhat unnatural.
Yue Qing smiled and said: "Chang Liu and Chang Bai have gone to guard. Red guards are usually guarding several key places in this courtyard, especially the back hill and the front yard."
Qi Jiao frowned slightly and glanced sideways at Shi Rong. He opened his mouth and said: "There are more than 500 guards guarding the courtyard inside and outside, ensuring that no rat can escape. If Mr. Shi Rong is interested in knowing, I will take him to visit later. .Although these guards may not be as good as the Red Guards, they can't be any worse if they can stay with the young lady. Master Shi Rong can pick one or two for advice."
Shi Rong was frightened and said without changing his expression: "Oh, I didn't expect that there were so many guards on the side. The villa is really a big deal."
"No, if the princess doesn't like having too many people around, why are there only so many people?"
King Bowei said: "These people are still few. I remember that when I returned to Li Kingdom with the princess, there were not so many people. Except for my people, they are people from the Yue family, and the princess's bodyguards only have nearly a hundred people. How many people are there out of thin air? Hundreds of people crossed the border, but our country, Li, didn't notice it. I can only say that the Villa is a good trick."
Qi Jiao smiled and said: "Thank you. Our villa has agreements with various countries. We can freely travel in and out of various countries. It is not as troublesome as King Bowei imagined."
King Bowei said: "It is true that you can come and go freely, but there must be records of comings and goings. However, I have never heard of records of such a group of people coming and going. It can be seen that the people in the villa are quite capable."
Mo Xue said: "King Bowei means that everyone in our villa doesn't understand etiquette and came uninvited?"
Yue Qing glanced at him and then at King Bowei. "Um, why is this involved? Can't Li Guo come in and out at will?"
Before King Bowei spoke, Mo Xue said: "It's natural. Although Li Kingdom is not as strict as the main city of Villa, it is very particular about status and hierarchy. Not everyone can run around in the streets.
Especially for Li Jing, the amount of red tape and etiquette is definitely beyond what the young lady thought. Especially for women, according to Miss's temperament, if she grew up in the country of Li, she would definitely be an exception, and she would rarely be picked on and criticized. "
Yue Qing's mouth trembled.
Shi Rong said: "Mr. Mo is serious. My sister is also a woman, but she is not trapped by any ethics."
Mo Xue said: "Oh? Really? It's a pity that Miss Shi Ying can't watch the hunting in the school grounds anymore if she is not trapped by the etiquette. It is even more impossible to take one or two maids for a walk in the mountains. Master Shi Rong can't do it. It’s not like I’m staying with my other sister.”
Shi Rong stopped talking.
Shi Ying said dissatisfied: "What Mr. Mo said, what I thought was too wild. I didn't take one or two maids for a walk in the mountains. Which girl dares to do this? Don't ruin my reputation." "
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that both Shi Rong and King Bowei looked wrong, but Mo Xue and the others across from them had smiles on their faces.
Mo Xue said, "Don't be surprised, Miss Shi Ying. I'm just making an analogy. Although the scenery in the wild is pleasant, it is full of dangers. If there is no one to protect the girl's family, she will naturally not be able to go to such a place."
Yue Qing turned to look at him, feeling that there was something in Mo Xue's words, as if he was speaking to her.
Mo Xue also turned to look at her, meeting her eyes.
Yue Qing's eyes averted for a moment.
Mo Xue smiled and said: "Our villa doesn't pay attention to these things. As long as it's safe, it doesn't matter where the lady wants to go."
Yue Qing smiled unnaturally.
Shi Hu was still eating big mouthfuls. At this time, after listening to them discussing this topic, he sprayed the vegetable scraps and said: "The princess only talked about Chang Liu and Chang Bai, but she didn't say where Chang Rong was. , I was knocked off my horse by him today, and I can still feel the pain."
Everyone looked at him.
Shi Rong breathed a sigh of relief. He had never thought Shi Hu was so good at talking.
"That's right, the princess hasn't said where Mr. Chang Ge and Rong Chiwei have gone."
Yue Qing came back to her senses, "Huh? Oh, them. Chang Ge's mother is sick. He went home to visit, and Chang Rong went to see her off."
With a smile in his eyes, Shi Rong looked at the faces of everyone in the villa and said, "So that's it. It doesn't matter if you don't know. Hey, I should send you something to express my condolences."
"No, it's not a serious illness."
Shi Hu said: "That's such a pity. Although my skills are not as good as others, I still want to ask for advice from that Rong Chiwei again."
Yue Qing smiled and said: "Shi Rong will be back soon. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future. I think everyone has almost eaten. Chang Shen, please serve some after-dinner refreshments."
Chang Shen nodded and called the attendants to serve tea.
Except for those who had something in mind, the others naturally sighed and praised these refreshments.
After tasting some refreshments, the sky had completely darkened. The yard was brightly lit, and it didn't feel dark at all.
Yue Qing stood up and suggested that the girls go to the inner courtyard to enjoy the night view.
"The inner courtyard is even more beautiful at night than during the day. I'll take you to see it and let the men chat outside."
Zhuang Feier said: "Isn't it getting a little late now? Why don't we come and see it later."
Yue Qing said: "From now on, we'll watch the daytime ones, and today we'll watch the nighttime ones. It's much more beautiful at night than during the day. You've already come here, and it won't be long before you go back after enjoying the scenery. How about it?"
Shi Ying agreed: "Well, I want to go see it. Yuqing said it looks good, so it must be very good-looking. Oh, cousin, why are you in a hurry to go back? Your cousin is here, and you are still worried that no one will send you a gift. Going back?"
Zhuang Feier covered her mouth and smiled: "Well, let's go and see it together."
