Chapter 289 Lou Family Banquet
this day,

Lou's family feasts guests to celebrate Lou Ben's meritorious service,
As Lou Ben's guide, Jing Haoying was also invited,
The Lou Family Lou Jing is the crown prince and grand tutor, an important minister of the court, Lou Ben is also an official now, it seems that there is a sign of prosperity,

Naturally, everyone is very face-saving, compared to the banquet scene of the Cheng family and the Wan family, it is much grander. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries, even the prince and princess concubine came to congratulate him in person. After all, this Loujing is the most powerful one around him people.

The crown prince is the emperor, so he sat in the main seat. Except for Lou Jing who sat in the first seat as the master, the others took their seats in order of their rank.

Jing Haoying happened to be with Ling Buyi, and Liang Qiuqi also participated in the plan to counterattack King Yong in the later stage. Liang Qiuqi was indeed more discerning than the little fat man. Seeing that Jing Haoying led the army to counterattack, he didn't care to hide it. Taking the initiative to report to Jing Haoying also contributed a lot,
Jing Haoying knew that this was arranged by Ling Buyi, and felt that this kid had a bit of conscience. When he originally made military achievements, Jing Haoying also planned to add to Liang Qiu's fortune, but he didn't want to be an official, so he was willing to follow Ling Buyi. This is always the case with inquiries, so Jing Haoying didn't force it.

The two drank together for a while, and the prince also came over and said with a smile:
"Zicheng, Zixiu, come, let us three brothers have a good drink,
Speaking of which, Zixiu, you don’t know yet, do you?

Some time ago, Father asked Zisheng to come to my Prince's Mansion to help me? "Speaking with excitement, he was obviously very happy. After all, Ling Buyi's weight is no small matter. The emperor sent him over, obviously because he was optimistic about his prince.

Upon hearing this, Jing Haoying immediately said:

"Oh? Yeah, I haven't heard of it yet.

Then congratulations to cousin and Zisheng, a strong alliance! "

The prince laughed out loud, obviously very happy.

Ling Buyi still had that cold look on his face, and when he heard what Jing Haoying said, he stared at Jing Haoying several times, probably to see if what he said was true or not.

The prince over there went on to say:

"Zixiu, or you can help me too,
I'm really tired of being the prince, so you can come and help me share a little bit, okay? "

When Jing Haoying heard this, he hurriedly shouted, he didn't need to go through this muddy water. Although he was closer to the Queen Xuan, in fact, he was not bad with Concubine Yue and the third prince, so there is no need to get involved in it for the time being.
"I'll forget it, I even wanted to reject that cavalry guard, but my uncle didn't agree, so why don't you find more trouble for me?
I also want to spend more time with my family, Shaoshang! "

The prince was not angry when he heard it, he has always been generous, and said with a smile:

"You, you, still don't change your lazy temper,

By the way, let's talk about Shaoshang, Shaoshang will also come this time, let's find a place to have a drink after the banquet,

For less merchants,

I really have to thank her very much,
Since Shaoshang entered the palace, her mother's health has improved a lot, and she has become more cheerful. This is all thanks to Shaoshang.

Zixiu, you really married a good bride, I am so envious! "As I said that, I might think of myself, and I was somewhat disappointed that I couldn't get married with the one I loved.

Jing Haoying saw that she was in a bad mood, so he couldn't say against his will that the Crown Princess was good. After all, although the Crown Princess was good-looking, the situation was indeed a bit unreliable and petty, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said:
"Ahem, Auntie is in good health, so those of us who are juniors can feel at ease!

By the way..." Just as I was about to say something else, I saw Lou Jing walking over with a wine bottle,

"Haha, what are the three talking about, so happy, don't bother me when I come over!"

Jing Haoying thought in his heart, knowing to disturb you, the old boy still came, and Jing Haoying hated such a pious guy like Lou Jing the most, so he didn't have a good face,

The prince welcomed the exception,

"Haha, how could Tai Tuo bother you? This is the Lou Mansion, and you are the master!"

Seeing that the prince respected him so much, Lou Jing stroked his beard proudly, but seeing that Jing Haoying and Ling Buyi were expressionless, he coughed twice in embarrassment, and said to Jing Haoying:
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Jing Shizi this time.
Thanks to you for helping to support that useless nephew, today's banquet is possible! "Thank you on your lips, but you don't see the slightest gratitude on your face, as if you blame Jing Haoying for being troubled,

Jing Haoying was also not used to his faults, so he said in a strange way:
"Mr. Lou was joking. You are the elder's cousin's tutor. How can I not try my best to help? Naturally, I will do my best to support your nephew, right, Mr. Lou?"

Lou Jing's old face was a little strange, he naturally knew that there were some things that could not be hidden from smart people.

However, the crown prince couldn't see it yet, and thought that Jing Haoying's helping Lou Jing was helping him in disguise, so he immediately smiled and said:
"Haha, what Zixiu said is right, we are all on our own, so we should help each other!"

Jing Haoying and Ling Buyi looked at each other and were a little speechless, brother, we really don't mean that!

Even Lou Jing couldn't help the corners of his mouth trembling slightly. Fortunately, he had the most contact with the prince and knew the prince best, so he didn't think it was different. Instead, he felt that the prince was not very smart, so that he could display his talents.

At this moment, there was a loud noise, Lou Jing said it was caused by servants, and couldn't help shouting:
"What are you doing here? All your highnesses and ministers are here, how decent it is!!!" Xindao, I can't control other people, and I can't control you?
In the end, it was indeed a group of servants who came in, but it was several families, each of them ran to their master's house to talk about something in the backyard, and everyone was a little rioted after hearing this.
Jing Haoying and others also got the news, it's not a big deal,

But because Cheng Shaoshang and the Crown Princess were both there, Jing Haoying and the Crown Prince followed Lou's house to the backyard to watch the excitement.
……

The time went back to an hour ago, at the female family's place in the backyard,
This Mrs. Lou didn't know where she heard the news that the He family wanted to reconcile with the Lou family. Now that the He family is also prosperous, much stronger than before, she also thought about it.
But now that Lou Ben is out of office, she is not easy to force her, after all, she has to be a little more scrupulous,

It happened that a lady mentioned He Zhaojun just now. After all, a bunch of old women love to gossip. It is true from ancient times to the present. He Zhaojun happens to be a news figure now, so it is inevitable to mention it.
Those who are envious of the He family's prosperity now say that He Zhaojun is not good enough to marry a traitor, and has caused many relatives to suffer.
Of course, there are also those who want to curry favor with the He family, so they mention the He family, saying that they have also been deceived.
Mrs. Lou hurriedly pushed the boat along and said:
"Hey, actually I like that kid Zhaojun the most.

Both appearance and temperament are quite outstanding,
Speaking of which, this matter is not bad for Zhaojun, this girl misunderstood her son-in-law everywhere,

Zhaojun is just one of them. Speaking of which, Zhaojun is also a poor child! "After finishing speaking, she seemed to have a pitying expression, and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes,
Someone cleverly understood Mrs. Lou's meaning, and said that the Lou family intends to reconnect with the He family, and immediately said:
"Yes, yes, the lady of the He family is really good, and her appearance is also one of the best in our capital!" She said in surprise as if she had just remembered:
"Ma'am, speaking of it, I remember that your Lou family seemed to have a marriage contract with the He family, right?

Let me tell you, the loyalty and bravery of the He family is admirable, and the daughter of the He family is also unyielding in the face of bandits, which is admirable. It is the character of a good bride.
Why not..."

Madam Lou immediately nodded in agreement,
"Exactly, exactly!"

Then he immediately looked at Mrs. Lou Zhong,

"I don't know what my sister-in-law thinks about it? I really like Zhaojun so much!"

Mrs. Lou Zhong was a little embarrassed when she heard it, she was soft-tempered, although the eldest son had just become an official, but the He family was in full swing, and she didn't know how to refuse for a while,

It was still Wang Yanji who was clever, and immediately said:

"Today is to celebrate Ah Ben's entry into an official position. How can we discuss other people's marriages! Let's talk about it later!"

Mrs. Lou was not happy when she heard that, this little rascal, her husband has just entered the official position, so he dared to talk back, this is a rebellion, and shouted fiercely:
"Shut up, elders talk, you don't have the right to intervene!" Then he looked at Mrs. Lou Zhong pretending to be gentle and said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, what do you say,
After all, Ah Yao and Zhaojun have been engaged for many years, and the two families know each other well, and now it's time to renew their relationship, what do you mean! "

The Crown Princess watched from the sidelines and her heart moved. Lou Jing is a hard-core supporter of the Crown Prince. If the two families of Lou and He are in a relationship, then the Crown Prince's influence will be the icing on the cake. She immediately smiled and said:
"In this way, it is indeed a good thing. If the two ladies don't mind, I am willing to protect the matchmaker myself!"

Don't look at the crown princess who often gets angry in front of several princes and princesses, but in the eyes of these ministers and wives, she still has a lot of weight. After all, she will be the future queen if there is no accident!
Mrs. Nalou was overjoyed when she heard that, and said gratefully:
"Oh, that's really great. The Lou family is really grateful to have the Crown Princess as a guarantor!" After speaking, he looked at Mrs. Lou Zhong with a smug face,
Xindao, so what if your Dalang is an official, our eldest family is close to the crown prince.

When Mrs. Lou Zhong looked at the situation, she was too hesitant to say anything, and she agreed to fear that she would be sorry for her youngest son.
If you don't agree, you are afraid of offending the prince and the He family.
Mrs. Lou was able to pinpoint Mrs. Lou Zhong's scruples, she was very proud,

"What about my sister-in-law? The Crown Princess has already said so, so why don't you agree?"

Cheng Shaoshang next to him couldn't bear it any longer. She was already a little chivalrous, and she couldn't see these people bullying Mrs. Lou Zhong, an honest person, so she immediately interjected:
"If you want me to say that marriage between a man and a woman is better than mutual consent,

Now the woman is not at home, nor is the man himself,

And I think Mrs. Lou Zhong also seems to have something hard to say, it's better not to say it in public! "

Mrs. Lou didn't see Cheng Shaoshang, and there were a lot of guests today, and because she was celebrating Lou Ben before, she felt a little unhappy, so she didn't come out to receive the reception. She came later, so she didn't know Cheng Shaoshang. She was dressed plainly, and said she was just an ordinary person, and immediately said angrily:

"shut up,

Whose girl are you, why are you so uneducated,

We adults are talking, and you, a little girl, dare to intervene rashly. This is a rule taught by which family! "

The princess was very embarrassed when she heard it. She naturally knew that Cheng Shaoshang was being taught by the Empress Xuan, and she was afraid that Mrs. Lou was breaking a taboo, so she said quickly:

"Sister Shaoshang, don't blame me, the lady doesn't know you!" Then she whispered to Mrs. Lou:

"This is Cheng Shaoshang, the concubine of the future Prince Jing's son, who has been taught by my mother herself!"

Cheng Shaoshang bowed to the princess, but ignored Mrs. Lou, she couldn't understand this kind of person,
Mrs. Lou suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. She wanted to apologize, but she couldn't hold back her face. If she didn't apologize, she was afraid of ruining her husband Lou Jing's affairs, and she would inevitably be reprimanded by Lou Jing.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuanyi came over at this moment. She was a little far away just now, and she just heard the general idea, but when she saw Cheng Shaoshang standing up to speak, she knew that something would happen, so she hurried over and reprimanded Cheng Shaoshang :

"What are you talking about, there is no place for you to intervene here, what the two families are discussing has something to do with you, how can you intervene rashly!" Cheng Shaoshang and Xiao Yuanyi turned to the Crown Princess and Mrs. Lou Da salute and apologise,

"Children don't understand the rules, so you two laughed!" Then he said to Cheng Shaoshang with a straight face:
"Don't hurry up and apologize to the two of you!"

Cheng Shaoshang still had to give her old lady face, although he was a little unhappy, he still prepared to salute in a proper manner,
Mrs. Lou and the Crown Princess were very polite, and hurriedly supported Cheng Shaoshang, preventing her from saluting.
"Mrs. Cheng Bo, you are really, Shaoshang is also a real person, it doesn't matter, you still make Shaoshang apologize, I'm really sorry!"

"Yes, yes, Younger Sister Shaoshang was taught by the queen mother. She has always been well-educated and reasonable, and the crown prince has always boasted about it. If he knows that I have wronged Younger Sister Shaoshang, I'm afraid he will blame me!"

Originally, the atmosphere is here, it should be a good scene of hello, me, everyone,
It's a pity that Lou Li can't get used to Cheng Shaoshang, a shabby man who flies up a branch and turns into a phoenix, and even her mother, who is still tired, bows her head and mutters:
"What's so great, isn't it just climbing a high branch, and even running to our Lou family to show off!"

The sound is quite loud, at least the people who should listen have heard it,

Even the crown prince and Jing Haoying who just came in heard it clearly. Jing Haoying immediately turned dark and said expressionlessly:
"If I hear you right, Lou Li, you mean my bride, right?

It seems that the gate of this building is too high to accommodate us! "

Lou Jing's eyes went dark when he heard it, he wondered why I gave birth to such a stupid thing, and said angrily to Lou Li:

"Evil, kneel down for me,

How dare you be so rude to a distinguished guest, this is what my father usually taught you! Seeing that the guests around were secretly looking at him, he suddenly felt that he couldn't hold back his face, and was even more annoyed, shouting:

"Come on, take care of my family, I'll kill this ignorant little bastard today!"

Lou Li was terrified when she heard it, she had seen the family law, she felt that she couldn't bear it, she knelt down quickly, and begged for mercy, crying bitterly:
"Father, Li'er was wrong,

I really didn't mean it, I shouldn't have said those stupid things, I beg my father to avoid Li'er! "

The prince couldn't bear to see the pear blossoms raining on the little girl's crying, and besides, this was his Taifu's daughter, so he said quickly:
"Teacher Lou calm down, the child is just saying something unintentionally, there is no need to make such a big fuss!" Thinking that things depend on Jing Haoying's attitude, he quickly persuaded Jing Haoying:
"Zixiu, Louli is still young, don't be as knowledgeable as her,
Just take it for your cousin's sake! " Said with a face of pleading.

Lou Jing also looked at Jing Haoying with the eyes of the prince, ready to observe Jing Haoying's attitude, if Jing Haoying didn't pursue it, it would be fine, but if he pursued it, he might really break Lou Li's leg today, he is nothing kind hearted person.

The crown prince has already said so, Jing Haoying is too embarrassed to say anything, after all, it is really not a big deal, Lou Li's girl Jing Haoying also knows, she has no brains, she is a complete idiot, if he is too fussy to show his strength It was narrow, but he still looked at Cheng Shaoshang,

Cheng Shaoshang saw that Louli was crying so pitifully, and was so scared, so he was not so angry anymore. If Jing Haoying and others didn't come, then she would go up and slap Louli, but it would be up to her It's all like that, the public is so embarrassing, and it seems meaningless to pursue it, so I nodded to Jing Haoying, indicating that it's okay.

Seeing Cheng Shaoshang's expression, Jing Haoying knew that she didn't mind, so he said:
"Well, since my cousin has begged for mercy, I naturally have to give this face,

However, I saw that Lou's family didn't really welcome us, so I left first, cousin forgive me! "Then waved to Cheng Shaoshang,

"Come on, Shaoshang, let's go for a horse race,

It just so happened that I brought back a few good horses this time, so go pick them out and see if you like them! "

Cheng Shaoshang was also happy when he heard that, he immediately stood up and walked to Jing Haoying's side, the two laughed and left together,
This is also a slap in the face of the Lou family in a disguised form. I didn't see Lou Jing, the old boy's face was flushed with anger. When he saw Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang leaving, he said to the prince:

"His Royal Highness, look at this Jing Shizi, he is so rude. My Lou family has already shown weakness. You have stepped forward, Prince, and he still..."

The prince was not that angry, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Taifu, Zixiu has such a temper.
But don't worry, he will definitely not pursue it again.
Speaking of it, Gu still envies Zixiu the most, he can do whatever he wants, look, he even took Shaoshang to play..." He finally looked into the distance with fascination on his face, but unfortunately, as the prince, he also A little stupid, many things are out of control.

But soon the prince's slap in the face happened. To be honest, Jing Haoying really didn't intend to pursue this matter, but he couldn't help another person who had an idea, that is Uncle Cheap. He was trying to trouble Lou Jing recently. The prince is a little worried,

However, this old boy Lou Jing acted thoughtfully and did not find any mistakes for the time being. Coincidentally, he also heard about this incident, and immediately issued an order to reprimand him, and the speed was very fast. The imperial order arrived before the Lou family banquet was over. ,

It roughly means, you old boy, you educate your children so badly, how can you be ashamed to educate the prince, you should stop being a prince and a tutor, go learn more etiquette, and send this old boy into a prince. often!

It's okay to say that Taichang is the head of Jiuqing, and Taichang's status is the highest among Jiuqing, mainly in charge of ancestral temple rituals and sacrifices,

There is a saying in Zuo Zhuan that the important affairs of the country are in the priesthood and the military. Look at the important affairs of the country, whether they are sacrifices or wars, how important they are.

But that is for the past. Now, although sacrifice is important, it is no longer a priority, so this position is a bit awkward and tasteless. It is a bit like a post for the elderly. , to provide for the rest of the world,
This position is far behind Lou Jing’s crown prince and Taifu. The crown prince and Taifu are the teacher of the Chujun. of.

Not to mention how terrified the Lou family was, how confused the crown prince was, even Jing Haoying was quite honest about it,

This cheap uncle, you really know how to find the time, I just left, you immediately ordered, others said I went to sue, thought I was such a villain,

So he immediately decided to take Cheng Shaoshang and ran to the palace, planning to settle accounts with this cheap uncle.
