The general's wife through time

Chapter 18 Banquet Invitation

Duan family.

Duan Jingchu has been confined at home recently and is so bored that mushrooms grow on his head.

He wandered to the garden and happened to see Duan Jingchen sitting in the pavilion feeding the fish.

"Did Xue Tang reject your invitation again?"

Duan Jingchen paused in his movements and said with a sullen face: "Qin Mingshu returned home recently, and Xue Tang also went out with others to go shopping like crazy."

The subtext is: Xue Tang not only recovered Qin Mingshu, but he is still fine and alive and well, awesome!

Duan Jingchu added another sentence in his mind for his elder brother: You have time to go shopping, but you don’t have time to see me. Woman, just wait!

Thinking about the scene in which he had angered his eldest brother before and was brutally tortured, and looking at the black face of his eldest brother after being rejected by others, he actually felt the pleasure of revenge. Although he did not take revenge with his own hands, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. .

next moment.

The housekeeper trotted over and handed the invitation to Duan Jingchen.

"Master, this is what Mrs. Qin sent."

Duan Jingchen pursed his lips, opened the invitation, took a look at it, and sneered: "Invite me to a banquet? Huh, go back to Xue Tang and say I'm free. I'll go early that morning."

Duan Jingchu looked at his eldest brother's smile and couldn't help but take a step back and tremble quietly.

The next day, Duan Jingchen found that he had thought too much.

Because he was not the only one who received the invitation. Everyone in Beijing who had good relations with the Qin family or had some contact with them received the invitation, but the Pei family and the Mo family were not invited.

After listening to the butler's report, Duan Jingchen laughed angrily and threw away the brush in his hand. He accidentally splashed the ink in the inkstone, making his face confused.

"grass!"

He couldn't help but curse.

He thought the woman was trying to apologize to him, but she turned against her again.

A few days ago, it was rumored that he came to the door and slapped his mouth to apologize for his brother, and even received a gift from the Qin family in return. Rumors of a happy cooperation spread to the emperor, causing him to almost be misunderstood. What's next? The relationship between the Duan family and the Qin family has taken a further step. The Duan family has abandoned the Mo family and the Pei family and completely joined the Qin family's camp? !
Another step on him. He wanted to see how much Xue Tang could step on.

Duan Jingchen went back to the house to wash up and change his clothes. When he came out, he saw Duan Jingchu sitting in the pavilion and yelling at the boy, "Fan hard, hurry up, hurry up, the weather is too hot!"

Why don't you get so hot?
It's all this little brat's fault. If it weren't for his broken mouth, could he have revealed what happened next?

There was also Yuan Weiming who immediately sent him the news after learning that Duan Jingchu was fighting with Qin Mingrui.

Wait for him.

Soon, two more little maids ran to the pavilion with fans.

Duan Jingchu always felt a chill on his back, but suddenly it stopped being hot. He suddenly realized that the air around him was cool. He raised his hand to stop the maid's movements, slowly turned his head, and directly faced Duan Jingchen's dark face.

"Boss, boss, are you in a bad mood?"

"It's weird!" Duan Jingchen's face turned even darker, "For the Qin family's banquet, neither the Pei family nor the Mo family received the invitation, only the Duan family did."

"Doesn't that prove that our family is very respectable now?"

Duan Jingchen suddenly felt a pain in his face, "I'm so proud of myself. I participated, and then someone said that I had boarded a boat with the Qin family. A few days ago, the box of pig intestines that I brought back was proof. Do you understand?" Understand?"

Duan Jingchu thought for a while. I didn't ask you to get the gift in return. Why are you yelling at me?
"Then don't go." Duan Jingchu said.

Duan Jingchen looked at this good-for-nothing brother coldly and wanted to strangle him with a piece of pig intestine. "If I don't go, that would be a guilty conscience."

Thinking of the last time, the sweet dates she punched were pig intestines, so what should she give in return this time?

Duan Jingchen was very curious.

Seeing his eldest brother's difficult situation, Duan Jingchu was speechless, "Qin Mingrui, his sister-in-law, is really amazing."

Duan Jingchen looked at Duan Jingchu like a fool.

This little brat is very clever, but he is still not sensitive to intrigues at all.

If the Duan family is left to him, I am afraid that within a month, the ancestral tombs of the Duan family will have to be expanded, and the nine clans will not be able to bury them!

It is not difficult for Xue Tang to figure out the relationships between various people in the capital, who can be friends with them, and what interests exist between them.

Qin Mingshu became her reliable source of information. On a hot day, Qin Mingshu wanted to take a nap, but Xue Tang used the bait of revising the play to call him to the flower hall. He could only sit upright and answer her questions.

Qin Mingshu was a little impatient, "Does it make sense for you to understand the grudges and grudges between each of their families?"

"Yes!" Xue Tang replied with only one word, and then said calmly: "You can leave."

Qin Mingshu always felt like he was being ripped off.

He returned to his yard very unhappy, and then saw Qiudie directing the maid to deliver lunch next door.

Qiudie also said to Qin Mingrui: "Madam said that the third young master is both a martial arts practitioner and a student, so he needs to pay attention to nutritional supplements."

Qin Mingshu was even more unhappy.

Qin Mingrui is no longer a child, but he still delivers meals on time. Could he still starve himself to death? Wouldn't he order his servants to get the food himself?
Also, Qin Mingrui also practiced martial arts and studied before. No one paid special attention to his nutrition, and he did not become disabled.

Xue Tang knew how to be useless and pretend to please. With that experience, wouldn't it be good to help him revise the script and do something serious?
Nanqu team.

Wei Shengmiao anxiously asked about the rumors outside.

The little maid said again:
"Mrs. Qin spent hundreds of thousands of taels on something at one time. Before it got dark, she suddenly realized she didn't like it and pawned it all in a pawn shop."

"Some people also say that General Qin should be back soon."

"Also, on June 18th, the Qin family will hold a banquet."

Wei Shengmiao: "What kind of banquet?"

Little maid: "From what the class leader said, it seems that that day is General Qin's birthday."

Wei Shengmiao held her stomach with one hand and clenched her fist with the other. No, if Qin Huangyuan doesn't come back so soon, Xue Tang must be a demon again. She doesn't have to worry, she will definitely give birth to the child safely.

In summer, ladies and ladies from wealthy and aristocratic families like to sit at home, eat melon and chat.

Just when they were worried that there was nothing interesting to talk about this year, Wei Shengmiao first spread the rumor that she was pregnant with Qin Shuanyuan's flesh and blood, and then Xue Tang went on a crazy revenge spending spree, and later sent out invitations to the banquet. After the disappearance of Qin Huangyuan, the Qin family once again became a hot topic of conversation among the women in the back house.

"Xue Tang has changed a lot now. I met her last time when she was shopping for Rouge. She was shopping with Mrs. Xia. Although she is still lavish, she really looks better."

"I heard from my maid's sister-in-law's cousin's wife that Xue Tang has developed a facial mask that Si Fangyun also uses. I heard it's very good. Xue Tang must have put a lot of thought into his face."

"Of course I have to put in effort to keep General Qin's heart. I didn't hear that Wei Shengmiao has children."

"However, I don't think Wei Shengmiao is good enough. Xue Tang is now more beautiful than any other."

"I also think Wei Shengmiao can't do it. She's an actor with no status, how can she compete with the head of the house? She can't do it with a child, after all, who knows if she can give birth."

"It's just that you didn't see Xue Tang holding a banquet. This is the wife of the first wife trying to clear her name!"

"Not necessarily. Xue Tang ignored Wei Shengmiao so much. Maybe the child in Wei Shengmiao's belly is not Qin Xiao's at all."

"It's possible. An actor has slept with who knows how many men."

"Xue Tang spent money in revenge. If nothing else, the Qin family is really rich."

"I heard from hearsay that day that Xue Tang only ate roasted sweet potatoes when shopping, and he only spent more than thirty taels in one trip. I thought the Qin family was really in ruins!"

"So, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Qin family is better than us even without Qin Shuanyuan."

"However, I heard that this banquet is to celebrate Qin Shuanyuan's birthday, so Qin Shuanyuan should be fine and should be back soon. Let's be careful what we say in the future. Don't offend the jade-faced living king of hell, it will be fatal. .”

Wei Shengmiao has done nothing else recently. Every day, she collects feedback from these back-house women.

After listening to the latest version, she sat on the bed feeling angry, guilty and scared.

Xue Tang went out to go shopping and hold a banquet, which turned the tide. She spent so much effort spreading rumors, but it was so easy for Xue Tang to ruin her plan!
She gasped for breath for a while before she recovered, wiping her tears and said: "It's impossible to find Xue Tang. I'm really worried that she will do something to me, but Qin Mingrui and Qin Mingshu will not recognize the child in my belly. Si Fangyun is about to notice something, what should I do?"

Today, Yuan Weiming sneaked over to see her behind Si Fangyun's back, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw her like this.

At first, he thought that Wei Shengmiao had ideas and means, and could save their child without him having to worry about it, but now he felt that he understood clearly, women are women, they know how to cry when big things happen, and in the end, they still have to rely on him to take care of them. idea.

"Control your emotions! Do you want to protect the child? It's true, but it's not that there is no other way. Go find Qin Mingyue."

Hearing this name, Wei Shengmiao was instantly enlightened.
