Snake King begging Ji

Chapter 85 The Bridal Chamber (2)

From the day when the imperial decree arrived, the Twelve Squares in Hangzhou City sent people to sweep the snow in front of the gate every day.Firecrackers sounded one after another, neighbors in the neighborhood congratulated each other, and the faces of men and women passing by were unconsciously filled with good moods about the upcoming Chinese New Year.

The dishes of Duobao Pavilion in Dongcheng Nanxiafang are well-known in Wangjing City.This time, the chef hired by the Tian Mansion for the wedding of the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Miss came from Duobao Pavilion.

As soon as this reputation spread, the Duobao Pavilion was almost full every day, and Xiao Er kept drinking out the names of the dishes, and shuttled between the halls like carrying a large tray of loach.

There is a wintersweet tree planted outside the window of the first-floor seat of Duobao Pavilion. At this time, the flowers are graceful, and the fragrance attracts a table of guests sitting by the window regardless of the cold to open the window to welcome the fragrance and enjoy the plum blossom.

One of the young men dressed as gentlemen in green robes held a bowl of hot wine, shook his head and recited a poem: "The fragrance of cores is cold because of the wind, and the plum blossoms are breaking through, dawn is cold and spring is coming. Hearing the sound of hooves on the ice, it should be Changqing People are close."

Speaking of the last sentence, he pointed towards the door with a smiling finger.He was pointing at the young man in brocade clothes who came in through the curtain.

During the dinner, another young man couldn't help laughing out loud.He got up to greet him and said, "As soon as Changqing came, Jianfei's poetry lost its flavor."

The person who came was Tian Yu, the fourth son of the Tian Mansion. He was wearing a crow-blue narrow-sleeved brocade robe and a snow-white crane cloak.Her hair was covered with a silk mesh hat, and a black gold-painted strip was tied between her foreheads, making her dress neat and tidy.

He took off the crane cloak and threw it to his personal servant Ah Shi, and sat down at the main table without any politeness.He glanced disdainfully at Bai Jianfei, the eldest son of Bai Caotang in Hangzhou, who had already sat down, and said, "When Jianfei saw me, his poetry always had a sour taste. If I don't come, he will point it with a flick of his finger." It's on Yuan Chong you."

Yuan Chong is the guard flying son of Hangzhou Mansion.He is burly, martial by nature, and straightforward.Among the three, his poems are the worst, and Bai Jianfei often beats around the bush with his mean words.

He was not annoyed when he heard Tian Yu's words. He took a corner of the hot wine and poured it into a big bowl, drank it happily, wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Changqing is wrong today. Jianfei will only hurt you today. Now, rumors spread in Hangzhou, saying that your Tian family will move south to Beijing after this year!"

Bai Jianfei laughed loudly, sat next to Tian Yu, winked and said: "Nowadays, how many people in Hangzhou City are looking forward to seeing this Ninth Princess during the Lantern Festival. Changqing, I heard that she is only ten years old. At the age of three or four, you have the appearance of a city?"
