Chapter 60: Birthday feast

On the eighth day of September, the old lady of Su Mansion celebrated her 60th birthday, and the Su Mansion held a banquet.
It was early in the morning when Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng had taken care of them before they set off slowly to Su Mansion.
Su Mansion will be full of friends today, and the little people like them who are not in the ranks can go to a meal and have a bright face. Su Qingze didn't have time to entertain them, and they didn't plan to stay for a long time. It was enough to express their wishes when they were present, so the two talents were so calm.
It was not too early or too late to get to Su Mansion. Sure enough, all kinds of luxurious carriages slid in front of the gate of Su Mansion. The richly-dressed guests brought their servants with generous gifts. For a while, the sound of carriages and horses, the shouts of servants, and the chatting and laughter of the guests were all intertwined with joy and excitement. .
The gift was handed over to the butler who greeted the guests at the gate, and the butler hurriedly invited the two in, and immediately a servant and a maid came forward to lead the way.
There are separate seats for men and women, and Shuang'er is assigned to the female guests. Shen Yanbei glanced at Gu Changfeng and said in a low voice, "We will go back after we have eaten the noodles."
Gu Changfeng nodded, let him not worry about himself. Shen Yanbei shook his hand and followed the young man to the lobby of the outer courtyard, while Gu Changfeng followed the maid through the moon cave gate to the other side of the garden.
A tall stage was set up on the open space of the garden, and the corners on the stage were babbling and singing songs, and the elegant ladies under the stage surrounded the old birthday star, Mrs. Su, and a group of people didn’t know they were talking. What? Everyone shook their veil and covered their mouths and laughed wildly.
The women and twins of a garden, the air is full of the sweet and greasy fragrance of powder, ringing and whirling in dresses.
Gu Changfeng was not used to such occasions. He shook his hand under the sleeve in a restrained manner. He straightened his back and followed the maid behind him to congratulate the old lady.
"I wish you good luck in the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."
Among a group of delicate-looking women and delicate figures, Gu Changfeng, who is tall and tough, is very eye-catching. From the moment he walked forward, he attracted many curious eyes.
"This... this person is a pair? How come you look tough like a man?"
"Yes, look at his thick waist! Do you think his pregnant mole is so dim that it can give birth?"
"Is he married?"
...
Wearing a festive big red dress with gold and silver thread embroidered with the word "Fu" on the forehead, Mrs. Su, who wore a dark forehead embroidered with rich and precious flowers and pearls, raised her eyelids slightly. Seeing Gu Changfeng, her tone He said indifferently: "I have the heart." After saying that, he waved impatiently to let the maid lead the person down.
Sitting aside, Mrs. Wei, Su Qingze's mother, frowned slightly, but this was an old lady's birthday banquet. Even if she was dissatisfied with the old lady's attitude towards her son's friends, she could only keep it in her heart.
Gu Chang's cover didn't change the color, and he walked to the end of the seat with the maid.
The guests in the garden are either rich or expensive, either official family members or famous children. As a talented husbandman, his status is too poor and he can only be arranged to be the farthest away from the old birthday star.
"Which house did it come from just now? Why is it so face-to-face?" The lady who was doing good immediately asked with a smile.
The old lady said unkindly, "My unscrupulous grandson made friends out there indiscriminately." In front of the crowd, the old lady didn't speak bluntly about Hupengoyou, but her disgusting tone was enough to make people understand that she was very dissatisfied with Su Qingze.
"Let you just laugh. That was the noble person Qingze met when traveling abroad. It was his husband and husband who helped Qingze lose weight." Madam Wei smiled embarrassedly. The old lady looked down on her son's friend and she could bear it, and how could she bear it directly to belittle her son!
Su Wanqing, who came back to wish the old lady's birthday, hugged her son unhurriedly and said: "My mother is right, Qingze can have today, thanks to her husband and her husband." He said, "It is not an outsider. , His husband is my husband’s student.
Although the two are not husbands and students in the formal sense, Shen Yanbei always asks him as a student, saying that Li Zhiyuan is his husband.
The lady was surprised and said: "So that's the case!" She complimented Mrs. Wei, "The little son is really blessed, and the friends you make casually can be so capable!" The little son of the Su family changed his appearance after a few months of going out. The graceful and graceful eyebrows are picturesque, which made many wives who have a suitable son in the family have thoughts in their hearts, but unfortunately all of them were turned down by Mrs. Wei because the young man had a marriage contract.
No one takes this seriously. The little boy was too rich and few people wanted to care about it before. Now his appearance has changed drastically, and those people rushed to ask. It is guessed that Mrs. Wei was angry and looked down on those people who disliked the little boy’s body before. Excuses.
There are hundreds of women in the family, and Mrs. Wei doesn't have to worry about Young Master Su's appearance now.
When the topic touched on Su Qingze, many people curiously asked why they didn't see the young man. These people are accustomed to watching people order food, although they know that the old lady does not like Su Qingze, but Su's father is the state shepherd, and the Su family is headed by Mrs. Wei, and Su Wanqing's husband is also a talented person. The better it grows, the more it exaggerates people.
Mrs. Wei laughed and said nothing. The old lady was not too happy and wanted to say something. Mrs. Wei blocked her mouth first: "This troupe sings really well. You still have a discernment. You shouldn't order another song. ?"
Meeting Mrs. Wei's profound eyes, the old lady opened her mouth, and finally snorted and said nothing.
Upon seeing this, Su Zhenrui's eyes were bitter. Her father was useless, and her mother was sick in bed again, and her brother couldn't support the wall with mud. Now only the old lady can rely on, so he obediently got up to press the shoulders of the old lady and joked with the old lady.
The woman dressed up today, stood there so cutely, with her hands slender and smiling, she immediately received a lot of praise.
The old lady followed everyone's mouth and praised Su Zhenrui, saying that her granddaughter was the most sensible and filial than other children and grandchildren, and she didn't know who had such a blessing to marry her, which made Su Zhenrui embarrassed.
This old lady never satisfies her son's filial piety and sensibility for a moment, and even degrades her son in order to promote Su Zhenrui. Madam Wei feels pathetic and hateful in her heart.
On occasions like this, the eccentric old lady instructed her son to do other things in order to prevent her son from stealing Su Zhenrui’s limelight. In order not to let people see her intentions, she also called Su Zhenrui’s brother Su Jinyu. , Really ridiculous! If it hadn't been for her son to settle down, she couldn't swallow this breath.
Su Wanqing frowned her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't speak when she saw her mother hadn't spoken. Instead, she asked her maid to look after Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng sat alone, his dark eyes calmly watching the people around him talking and laughing in a low voice. He doesn't like and is not used to attending banquets. He doesn't understand what clothes and jewelry the ladies and ladies talk about, how to put on makeup and how to match them.
He doesn't fit them. but……
Gu Changfeng lowered his eyes slightly. Perhaps in the future, he will participate in more occasions like this. He can't know nothing but swordsmanship.
When everyone was amused by each other, a sharp chant came from far away.
"The Queen of Jinyang is here—"
Before the words were over, beautiful maidservants in palace costumes rushed to open the way.
princess? Everyone couldn't react for a while, staring blankly at the maids in palace costumes with their heads down slightly.
Gu Changfeng's inner strength is deep and his ears are better than ordinary people. When he heard the three words "Jinyang King", his heart jumped.
A woman in a long dress surrounded by a court lady in a long dress gracefully supported the hand of the maid and walked into the garden.
The woman's willow eyebrows are like the moon, her bright eyes are in autumn water, her red lips are full of pill, her cheeks look like the morning glow, her skin is like jade like porcelain. Rao is the Yingying Yanyan of a garden, not as charming as her.
Looking at the beautiful face of Qingcheng, Gu Changfeng froze as if struck by lightning.
In an instant, countless images flooded his heart like a tide.
The immature girl pulled his hem, and water vapor filled her and bright eyes: "Big brother, I want that little rabbit, you can catch it for me!"
Afterwards, he caught the rabbit but was punished—he didn't take care of the young girl and made her fall.
"Big Brother, I want to go to the street, you accompany me!" The more and more beautiful girl looked at him wronged, her eyes full of pleading.
In the end, the girl went to the streets to play as she wished. He dutifully protected the eyes of countless ridicules, and was punished and banned when he returned.
As soon as the picture turned, the melancholy woman said with grief: "Big brother, the life or death of my father is uncertain, I want to go to Chongming Temple to pray for my father..."
He was riding a horse to him all the way, but he had encountered a group of murderous bandits on the road. The bandit coveted wealth and pained the killer. The enemy's large number of guards couldn't deal with it. He carried it with one person, and suffered several times.
Seeing that he had subdued the bandits all the time, the woman screamed and asked him for help with a panic expression. He hurried over to protect the woman behind him and fight with the bandit who was pursuing him. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden pain in the back, and the sharp blade pierced the flesh deeply!
He turned his head back hard, and in his unbelievable gaze, he saw a jade-white hand holding a sharp dagger, and the red blood on the dagger was sliding down the blade...
While he was stunned, the bandit slapped him with a palm, he snorted and flew out of the cliff
"do not blame me!"
"To blame, blame yourself! You are so ugly and you want to seduce King Jinyang!"
The woman was holding a dagger, her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred and jealousy.
Gu Qingyao! ! !
Gu Changfeng widened his eyes suddenly, staring at the incoming person, his fists clenched.
He finally remembered!
Mrs. Wei hurried forward to support the old lady. The old lady was still confused and had to follow the strength of the wife to get up.
"Meet the princess and empress, the thousand years old empress!"
Mrs. Wei broke the calm with a loud voice, and everyone reacted and bowed to salute.
"Meet the princess and empress, the thousand years old empress!"
The voices came one after another, everyone in the garden bowed their heads, and Gu Changfeng was still standing.
"Shen Jiafulang! Hurry up!" Su Wanqing's maid, Lan Ling anxiously pulled Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng suddenly returned to his senses, and hurriedly lowered his head to cover the scarlet under his eyes.
"No gift." Jinyang Princess Gu Qingyao smiled softly, and her Zhu lips lightly opened, "The old lady please get up soon."
Sitting at the back were all incompetent people. Gu Changfeng stood abruptly just as if he had never seen the big scene. Suddenly shocked by her arrival, Gu Qingyao didn't even look at it, let alone take it seriously.
"Xie Niangniang!" The old lady looked at the beautifully dressed woman, wondering in her heart. The fief of King Jinyang is in Liuyang County next door, so why did they come to Qinghe?
"The prince and I plan to take the waterway to Qingyun Port and then change the carriage to the fief. But when we were in the port, we heard that your eldest birthday was born. It's impossible to say that you don't want to congratulate you on this happy day. Therefore, please come by yourself. I hope the old lady will not blame it. Gu Qingyao chuckled lightly and shook the emerald golden phoenix with pearls on the cloud bun. The small jade gourds were scattered around her cheeks, making the skin jewels glow, which could be broken by blowing.
"The empress and the prince came to the humble house, the humble house is full of glory, and the old man is too happy, how can he blame it!" the old lady said cheerfully. Jinyang Wang and his wife came to celebrate her birthday, but they gave her a big face!
"That's good." Gu Qingyao raised her hand and gestured, and there was an carrying a half-person tall red coral potted plant in it, "This is a little care from the prince and I. I wish you good luck in the East China Sea and Songhe Changchun."
"Thank you, Niang Niang!" The old lady couldn't help herself. The red coral is booming, it's very festive.
Gu Qingyao smiled slightly, holding the hand of the maid to the seat in the eager eyes of everyone.
"This is Mrs. Wei, right?" Gu Qingyao asked happily.
"It's the concubine body." Madam Wei is neither humble nor humble.
"I heard that Madam has brought up a pair of excellent children," Gu Qingyao glanced at the others, her eyes fell on Su Wanqing beside her, Man smiled, "The rumors are true."
"Niang Niang praised!" Madam Wei smiled back.
Seeing that Gu Qingyao only asked Dafang, the old lady felt uncomfortable and glanced at Su Ruizhen. Su Ruizhen looked at Gu Qingyao in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Hate the iron and gave her a look, if not for inconvenience, the old lady really wanted to hammer her.
This little Nizi, such a great opportunity to show her face is not easy to grasp, and she is in a daze, really annoying!
"Why didn't you see Young Master Su?" There was a maid serving tea long ago, and Gu Qingyao gently tapped the tea cover, revealing a section of her wrist like snow. Everyone couldn't help sighing in their hearts. Rumor has it that Princess Jinyang's face is extremely beautiful, and it's not as good as seeing it after hearing it. She is really beautiful and looks like a spring flower.
The old lady looked sullen, and Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "The child is naughty, I went to play with his second brother." Yubi called the slave and maidservant, and said: "Go, and call the two young masters over."
"It's not a bad thing for young people to be lively." Gu Qingyao said.
For a moment, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in front of the person. Gu Qingyao's eyes flickered slightly as the figure of the two of them did not meet the rumors.
The tall and thin young man and the eye-catching teenager strode forward and said in unison: "Farewell to Niang Niang, Niang Niang, thousand years old."
"No gift." Gu Qingyao whispered, her gaze fell on Su Qingze, "The young master of your house is indeed a talent." It is not like the slender and delicate twins nowadays. The youth has bright and energetic eyes. The kind of agility and cuteness is very charming. Heartbeat.
Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Qingyao's face faded. When she learned that the young man had been married to someone else, she became a bit more brilliant: "It's really blessed to be able to marry a young man."
Mrs. Wei just laughed, and did not dare to answer.
Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Wei greeted everyone at the table, and the maidservants filed in, putting various delicacies on the table.
Gu Changfeng looked at the woman surrounded by the crowd from a distance, feeling gloomy and couldn't eat it at all. When he fell down the cliff, Gu Qingyao's jealous and hateful words kept echoing in his mind.
He asked himself never sorry for her, why did she have to kill herself?
Is the relationship between brother and sister in the past two decades fake?
At the same moment, the male guest also opened a table.
King Jinyang arrived suddenly and everyone was shocked.
Shen Yanbei, who was behind the crowd, looked up and down at the true nobleman, wondering in his heart.
His wife lost her memory because of King Jinyang. What is the relationship between them?
Su Jingheng didn't know the other party's intention, and politely invited King Jinyang to sit.
Underneath Li Zhiyuan whispered to Shen Yanbei the king of Jinyang. Jinyang King Zhao Mu and the current emperor are half-brothers and adopted sons of the current queen mother. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was named King of Jinyang, and he was given a first-class salary. The king of Jinyang is very romantic, his appearance is extremely handsome and his status is precious. Many women are attracted to him, so he is very indulgent in sex.
Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows. This Jinyang Wang Jinyi was dazzling, but he was born with a pair of frivolous peach eyes. When staring at people, he will give people the illusion of affection, which is indeed quite deceptive.
"The king of Jinyang married a young lady from the well-known town government official in the capital to be the princess. The princess has a beautiful country, but unfortunately she still can't take his heart, she still hangs on the flowers all day long..." Li Zhiyuan whispered, the disapproval in his tone was beyond words. . He loves Su Wanqing, and he doesn't understand his beloved wife's heartbreaking behavior.
Shen Yanbei nodded, wanting to find some clues to help Gu Changfeng restore his memory, and asked: "King Jinyang is so romantic, aren't there many people who are jealous for him?"
"That's natural." Li Zhiyuan sighed. "It is rumored that the princess's unsalted brother also admires him..." At this point, Li Zhiyuan was stunned and his expression turned strange.
He looked at Shen Yanbei, and said: "It is said that the eldest son of the town's government office has high martial arts, extremely powerful, and strong..."
what? Shen Yanbei's eyes opened slightly.
