"Little Marquis, stop making trouble." Zeng Li is the host, so of course he has to help the guests.
"Your Majesty, I don't know which lady this belongs to, please pass it on to me." An elegant young man wearing a blue robe handed a wish-fulfilling hairpin to Zeng Li.
"It belongs to Sister Xu!" Jiang Nuanxin said it bluntly, and she didn't feel it was appropriate to say it out loud.
Xu Chunjun had no choice but to turn around, salute the young master and said, "It's mine. Thank you very much, young master."
Ziling came over and took the pearl hairpin from the prince's hand.
"There is nothing going on here, let's go! We will bring people to clean up the mess later." The prince saw that most of the falcons had been shot to death, and only a small part had flown away. Besides, there were young ladies in this garden, and they were not suitable.
Stay more.
Everyone else turned around, but the young Marquis still made faces at Jiang Nuan and said "Jiang Bigfoot".
Warm the ginger until it almost bursts into flames.
As soon as they left, Zeng Ci ran over panting with several servants, hugged Zeng Nian and said, "It scared me to death! Is sister hurt?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. You are so scared that your lips are white." Zeng Nian held her sister's hand and said, "Thanks to the three of them, we will arrange the seats later, but we have to let them sit at the top. In addition,
Look at any of the ladies who are injured. Call a doctor quickly and don’t neglect it."
"Sister, you don't have to worry about this anymore, I am here. Thank you three. Others only care about protecting themselves, but you can take care of my sister. I will remember this kindness." Zeng Ci said sincerely.
Cui Mingzhu and Meng Qiao followed behind. They had gone to the front with Zeng Nian. At this time, they also hurriedly came up to ask and comfort Zeng Ci.
Many people regretted that they did not protect the county lord at that time and lost the opportunity to perform meritorious service. They also regretted that they could not meet the prince and the others. You must know that those few just now are all worthy of the name.
Jiang Qing came over and took Jiang Nuan's arm and said, "Sister, are you okay? I was turned around by the crowd. I looked for my sister but couldn't find her. I was almost dying of panic."
Jiang Nuan had to comfort her a few words.
"Who is the tallest person standing at the back just now, dressed in black? It's so strange!" Someone asked curiously in a low voice.
"Don't you know him? He's the cold man!" Xue Shanshan is the best at asking questions. There is almost nothing she doesn't know.
"Is he the newly appointed Dingbei Gong? His face is indeed cold." After hearing this, the girls suddenly lost interest.
The newly-confessed Dingbei Gong was the youngest duke in the dynasty, and had been granted the title for less than three months. It was said that he was cold-faced and cold-hearted. Many people wanted to get married to him, but he rejected them without any mercy at all.
Do not stay.
Everyone was frightened and could not recover for a long time.
When it was time to sit down, Zeng Nian invited everyone to sit down with a smile.
Several ladies were injured and had already asked doctors to bandage them. However, a few were so frightened that they could not sit down at the table, so they had to be escorted back home.
Xu Chunjun was originally the most inconspicuous here, but he sat in the upper position because he was appreciated.
Some ladies took the initiative to chat with her, and Xu Chunjun was able to cope with it easily.
After the banquet, everyone said goodbye.
Zeng Nian was unable to see guests off due to limited mobility, so his sister Zeng Ci always did it for him.
But she still specifically said to Xu Chunjun, Cen Yunchu and Jiang Nuan: "I will definitely invite you three to visit me again someday. You must come."
While waiting in front of the door to get on the bus, Jiang Nuan whispered to Xu Chunjun: "Sister Xu, I thought about it, you are living in the Lu Mansion now, and I can't disturb you. Why don't I invite you out to the teahouse someday?
I will treat you to tea."
Xu Chunjun was not polite to her and said: "Okay, next time I'll treat you to Jinhui Restaurant to eat fresh fish dumplings and sour crispy fish soup."
Jiang Nuan naturally said yes. Xu Chunjun turned around and saw Cen Yunchu waiting for the carriage to arrive, so he politely asked her: "Miss Cen, do you want to come with us?"
Cen Yunchu said: "No need, I don't like eating with people I don't know well."
With that said, he got in the car.
Xu Chunjun didn't take it seriously, and Jiang Nuan couldn't help but murmured: "It's true. Miss Cen is too rude, but she was invited with good intentions."
Xu Chunjun smiled and said: "Have you forgotten the time when she came to your rescue? I guess there must be an elder who loves her very much, otherwise she would never have such a straightforward temperament."
"I think she was born with it," Jiang Nuan said. "My grandmother and aunt and uncle also love me very much, but I am not like her. But I will always remember her kindness in helping me today."
Xu Chunjun pushed her gently and said with a smile: "Get in the car quickly! Go back and have a good rest."
After saying goodbye to Jiang Nuan, Xu Chunjun also got in the car.
As soon as their carriage left, another group of people came out from the east corner gate, the same young men who had shot the falcon some time ago.
"Brother Chen Liu, are you going home now?" Zong Tianbao, the young marquis, asked the young man in the blue robe.
"Every afternoon, my father has to check the homework of our brothers. I have to go back." Master Chen Liu said.
"Sijing, bring your seventh child out someday," Zeng Li said, "Don't stay at home all day."
"Lao Qi is the least sociable. None of us can do anything about him." Chen Sijing said with a smile: "He only likes to read medical books and doesn't care about anything else."
Chen Sijing said goodbye to everyone, mounted his horse, turned the corner of the street, and the boy who followed him caught up with him and whipped him twice, saying: "Sir, I have already inquired about it."
"What are you asking about?" Chen Sijing was puzzled.
"That lady you picked up the pearl hairpin." The boy chuckled.
"Damn it, are you allowed to inquire randomly?" Chen Sijing glared at him.
"You are too troublesome." The boy couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and immediately fell behind.
"Come here!" Chen Sijing reined in the horse's head.
The boy walked over with his head down.
"Now that we've asked about everything, let's talk about it." Chen Sijing coughed twice uncomfortably.
The boy immediately smiled brightly, came closer and said, "The lady's surname is Xu. She is a distant relative of the Chengyi Hou family, and she lives in her house now."
Xu Chunjun returned to the Hou Mansion, took a simple bath and rested for a while before going to see his wife.
Mrs. Hou Ye had just taken a nap, and the weather was already very hot at this time. She placed two large ice cubes with lotus and water grass patterns next to the screen. There were large pieces of ice inside, and white mist was slowly rising.
Tea and fresh fruits were placed on the table, and agarwood chips to relieve the heat were burning in the treasure duck incense burner.
"Chunjun is back," Mrs. Hou Ye is now very kind to Xu Chunjun, "Is there any news from the banquet today? Tell me, it will relieve my boredom."
"I met a lot of new people and ate a lot of things I had never tasted before," Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "but in Madam's eyes, they must all be familiar and not considered new."
"That's why I want you to see more. In fact, everything in this world is so simple. Once you are used to it, you won't find it strange." Madam Marquis said.
"But speaking of strange things, there was something strange today." Xu Chunjun then told about the falcon incident today. However, he only talked about what he did in an understatement.
