Chapter 195 Qianqiu Banquet 1

Cheng Xi didn't know what kind of waves he had caused between Zhang and Wang Qian by just a casual word.

She still followed Cheng Qin to the outer courtyard all day long, sometimes chatting with Cheng Shi in the study, and sometimes teasing Cheng Qin about the stories in the book.

Anyway, I don't go back to the inner courtyard at any time.

Two days before the birthday party, the opera troupe of Cheng's mansion had already started to be put on, and the inner courtyard was busy all day long.

The man in the outer courtyard is not idle either.

The second master Cheng Yuanpei invited several masters from the Cheng family to come and called three or five friends to go to the Forget Immortal Tower to set up a table.

Cheng Zhao and Cheng Yun accompanied the young men from the Zhen family and the Ye family to visit the suburbs of Beijing.

Cheng Shi was lazy to deal with it and was inconvenient to go to the inner courtyard. He read idle books in the old man's book pavilion all day long. Cheng Xi once talked to Wang Qian, and then Wang Qian often went to the book pavilion.

In this flash, it was June 14th.

Cheng Xi was shouted to wash and dress up early. Qingxiu chose a set of silk sleeves with crimson embroidered primrose colored twig patterns for her, with a silver-red gauze half-arm shirt on the outside, and a six-spoke willow yellow horse-faced skirt on the bottom.

Before leaving, Cheng Xi ordered Feiying to serve him. In this case, except for the eldest maid Qingxiu, she should be accompanied by the wet nurse Qi.

Cheng Xi slapped Qi in the face in front of so many people, and no one dared to tell her the rules.

Although Fei Ying is too young in terms of qualifications and age, Cheng Xi has been following the old man and now she is getting bigger and bigger. Even Qingxiu dares not question her decision at will.

Cheng Xi took Qingxiu and Feiying to the old lady's place.

The banquet begins at noon, and guests come to visit one after another since the Si hour.

Because they celebrated their birthday with the old man, not many families brought their girls, most of them came with their wives and wives with their husbands.

Cheng Xi and a group of girls sat in the west wing room drinking tea and eating fruits, while casually listening to them talking about their current fashionable clothing and jewelry.

The three nieces of Meng's mother's family also came today. Because they enjoyed the flowers with the three sisters of the Shen family a few days ago, they seemed to be more friendly, so several girls from the Ye family were greeted by the side.

They were very close to Wang Zheng, but Wang Zheng was always gentle and reasonable to everyone. If he had the high spirits, he would not be willing to go to her and be attentive again.

Cheng Xi heard someone whispering to Wang Zheng, saying that she pretended to be aloof. Someone also brought Shen Chuo a little bit too.

Cheng Xi looked at him coldly and wondered why he was so keen on attending such a party at the beginning?

Her interest suddenly failed.

"Sister Zheng, I'll go to my grandmother's place, are you going?" Cheng Xi approached Wang Zheng and asked quietly.

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the girls chatting around her, thought about it, and replied to her with a smile:

"You go, I'll listen to them here."

Cheng Xi nodded and called Qingxiu and Feiying to go to the main hall.

There were already many visitors in the hall, and the ladies and wives from various families sat in piles and joked. Cheng Xi slipped in quietly, but no one paid attention.

She looked around and saw that there were some faces in the hall that she knew, some of whom she was unfamiliar with or had no impression of.

Mrs. Wang sat in one place and was talking to several wives and wives.

Cheng Xi ran to Wang.

"Mother." She smiled and crawled into Wang's arms, opened her round eyes wide and looked at the ladies present.

Wang introduced her and asked Cheng Xi to call her one by one. When everyone saw that she was cute and pleasing, they all praised her.

Wang couldn't help asking her why she came here. Cheng Xi's eyes turned around and said she missed her mother, which made everyone praise her for being caring and cute.

Wang smiled and hugged Cheng Xi and sat beside her, with a hint of unhappiness flashing in her eyes - the children don't like to play with their sisters. It must be because of the girls who saw that Sister Xi was young and treated her coldly, so their daughter would come here to rather stay with their elders.

She was secretly annoyed, but she didn't show her face. She just smiled and heard the gossip of the eldest wife of the Minister of Justice's Office.

"... I have been sick since the New Year, and I haven't shown up for several months. I'm sorry, who would have thought that Cheng'en Houzi was in a state of strength

In 2019, she went there as soon as she said she was a widow. Now she is only one year old and she is sick again. Her son seems to be only nine years old..."

Cheng Xi couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion is the current home of Empress Su.

The Su family was originally just a third-rate declining honorary clan. The ancestors inherited three generations of titles, but they were taken back to Cheng'enhou's generation.

Chengen Hou Sujing originally had a fifth-rank idle position in the Ministry of Rites. His original wife went to labor hard when she gave birth to her first child. Because she wanted to find someone to raise her young child, she reunited her within a hundred days, which is now Chengen Hou's wife.

Marquis Cheng'en had a son and a daughter. Because the Su family was not revealed, Emperor Longqing chose the daughter of the Su family to marry the twelfth prince at that time, that is, the current Emperor Showa. At that time, no one expected that the twelfth prince would ascend the throne one day.

After Emperor Showa ascended the throne, Su Jing, the father-in-law, was named Cheng'en Marquis. According to the ancestral system, he was asked to be named Cheng'en Marquis' Prince's son.

But Chengen Hou Zi was weak all year round and unfortunately died young.

What Tian said was probably the wife of Cheng'en Houzi, who was young and widowed and died less than a year later?

Cheng Xi remembered that the son left by the prince's wife, although he inherited the first title of the prince, he was a famous playboy in the capital. Later, he had a dispute with someone and accidentally killed an official's son. After the matter was in trouble, he was sentenced to exile.

At that time, someone in the capital passed on the role of the wife of the Chenghou, who was forced to kill the people, and they were forced to destroy them. The one who was looking for the title of the prince.

Cheng Xi only learned about the Su family after hearing this rumor.

Because of King Ning, she suffered a lot in the hands of Queen Su in her previous life.

Thinking about it now, I couldn't help but feel a little gloating - your Su family has done all the tasks of hereditary titles for the third generation, but they didn't expect that the world would change in the end!

"That child is only nine years old, just watch it. Who is this Cheng'en Marquis in the future..." The eldest wife in the Zuojun Governor's Office fanned her with a veil and said with a pun.

This is too explicit. Although everyone knows it, they all have tacit understanding and no interface.

The fourth wife of the Songyang County Lord's Mansion talked about the news that the second young master of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion and the seventh sister of the British Duke's Mansion were married, and turned the topic away.

Cheng Xi listened obediently and thought to himself that the marriage was probably a change. How could she remember that the seventh sister of the Duke of England finally married to the Princess Zhenyuan's Mansion?

Mother Yuan suddenly strode in and came to Wang a few steps, looking excited. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly remembered that something was wrong.

She turned around and walked quickly to the old lady Ye who was sitting in front of the hall talking.

"Old lady! Someone came from the palace, and the desk outside has been set up. The master sent someone to pass on the message, asking you and the ladies to change their clothes and go to the front to meet the order!"

Imperial decree!

Cheng Xi was shocked.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then a low, depressing noise burst out.
Chapter completed!
