001: Houfu Night Banquet

As soon as summer enters, it will be extremely hot for a few days. The whole capital was shrouded in a blazing sun. Even the pedestrians on the road were lazy. Occasionally, they ran through a group of soldiers quickly, sweating like rain, and all of them were sad.

In the marquis's house, there is no exception. They are all lazy and hot that they don't even want to speak loudly.

Before the sun rises, the courtyard of "Qixia Pavilion" has been sprinkled with water.

"Xiao Zhizi." The old lady Zheng Ziling is the daughter of Zheng Dingbang, the former first-class member and the protector of the country. This is also one of the reasons why the power and status of the Marquis of Beijing is so great. Nowadays, although Zheng Dingbang has passed away, his son Zheng Quanxiong is also the secretary of the Ministry of War. He holds the military power in his hand and is deeply favored by Emperor Yongjia, which makes the snobbish of the Marquis of Beijing in the sky, and few people can match it. Mrs. Zheng raised her hand, and the big girl waiting next to her, Red Medicine, hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Lao Taijun's forehead.

"Has the water been splashed in the yard? Why is it still so hot?" Zheng Taijun frowned and said annoy.

"Go back to the old gentleman," a little girl outside the curtain answered, "I've splashed it four or five times, but it's too hot today, and there's really nothing I can do."

Mrs. Zheng said "Ouch" and moved uncomfortably. Next to her, another girl took a fan and stood aside shaking back and forth.

"Yo, my old man, are you hot?" Suddenly, a smiling female voice came from outside, laughing loudly.

Then, several figures appeared outside the curtain.

"But can the mean third aunt come with Qing'er?" Zheng Taijun's eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole body was slightly more energetic, looking at the curtain.

"Ouch, old man, do you know them?" The curtain was raised, but the fourth aunt came in first.

"Zhiyao is also here?" Mrs. Zheng smiled, was supported by red medicine, and sat up. "You are a quiet person. Who knows that you have come to join the fun?"

"Isn't that who's going to score?" Chi Caiqing, who walked at the end, said with a smile, "The excitement of our ancestors is to join in."

"Only you have a sweet mouth." Mr. Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand to say, "Sit down. It's hot today. Why did you all run out? Warm it up carefully."

"No matter how hot it is, I will come to greet your ancestors." The third aunt picked up the nearest chair next to Mrs. Zheng and sat down. She raised her eyebrows and smiled. The fourth aunt and Chi Caiqing sat down in turn. Another girl next to her took the tea and stood on the side and shook the fan.

"It's rare for your filial piety." Mrs. Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "I usually say that people of my age can't eat and don't like to wear clothes. What's the point of doing? It's just for fun! Fortunately, you obedient people know that you love me, an old man.

"Look at what you said, what is this called?" The third aunt pretended to be angry, "You, you are young, why are you old?"

"Not at all." Chi Caiqing hurriedly answered, "I'm afraid we can't get along with your spirit. You are getting younger and younger!"

Chi Caiqing's words made everyone present laugh, and Mrs. Zheng couldn't help laughing.

"After all, Qing'er can talk," Mr. Zheng smiled and sighed again, "I'm angry with this annoying day. Why is it such a hot day this year? In previous years, how could there be such a time? It's so that people can't even breathe.

"No," the red medicine next to him shook the fan for Mr. Zheng and said, "From this morning to now, four or five times of water have been splashed in the courtyard, and there is no shade."

"I know that you can't stand the heat," the third aunt couldn't help laughing. "We have found a good ideas for avoiding the summer heat. Baba came to give it to you."

"Oh?" When Mrs. Zheng heard this, he became interested. He stared at his third aunt and asked, "What's the good ideas?"

The third aunt smiled proudly, and then asked without answering, "Ancestors, if this idea of the three of us is good, will you reward us or not?"

"Look, are you still arguing with me?" Mr. Zheng said angrily and funnyly, "If your ideas are good, you will naturally have a reward."

"Then I'll say it," the third aunt said with a smile, "Does the old lady know the newly built lake?"

"Lake?" Mrs. Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Is that Xianlian Lake?"

"Exactly," the third aunt nodded repeatedly, "I heard that it had been repaired a few days ago. Yesterday, Qinger went there specially to see it. It was said that there was shade by the lake, which blocked the sun. The pavilion was also beautiful, and people felt cool and comfortable walking in it. I heard that at the beginning of the construction, a skillful craftsman especially looked at the terrain and built a pavilion in several wind convection places. At the moonlight, you can enjoy the moon, and the wind wind winded through the pavilion, which was very cool. You can also watch the green lotus in the lake, and go boating on the lake and in the lotus. It's so uncomfortable and happy.

"Is that true?" Mrs. Zheng asked in surprise.

"No," Chi Caiqing nodded repeatedly. "I saw it yesterday. It's really a refreshing place."

"So, if the old man feels happy, why don't we have wine and enjoy the moon in Xianlian Lake tonight?" Seeing the yearning on Mrs. Zheng's face, the third aunt couldn't help but seize the opportunity to suggest.

"Okay, let's reward you greedy cats for wine tonight." Mrs. Zheng smiled and turned his head to order the red medicine, "Go, tell the marquis and the second son, and Ningxiang, and say that I'm going to set up wine in Xianlian Lake and ask them to join in the fun."

"Yes." The red medicine quickly answered with a smile and turned around to leave.

"Ah, old gentleman," Chi Caiqing hesitated and said slowly, "You, you missed one."

"A missing one?" Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a moment and didn't realize what Chi Caiqing said for a while.

"That's...that one." Chi Caiqing said, pretending to cry and stretched out his hand to wipe it in front of him.

Chi Caiqing's action made everyone present understand, but they all showed a smile that they couldn't help laughing.

"You naughty monkey." Mr. Zheng made an angry and funny gesture, as if he was going to play Chi Caiqing. "You are the most eccentric."

Everyone else laughed out loud.

"Thanks to the second lady's thought." Hongyao smiled and said, "I'm inviting you with my wife."

As he spoke, he saw the curtain raised, and a tall figure strode in.

"What's the good thing about this? Are you going to be invited one by one?" With the clear laughter, Luo Feng bowed down and said, "Feng'er, greeting the ancestors."

"Yo, it's a hot day." Mrs. Zheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, "Get up quickly, sit down, sit here."

With that, he patted the cushion around him.

"I'm here to say good to you. I heard the hustle and bustle from afar, and I guessed if there would be some fun." Luo Feng sat down generously and said with a smile.

"It's the right time for you to come." Zheng Taijun took Luo Feng's hand, patted her, and said with a smile, "I told your mother that I will hold a banquet in the evening and eat you and drink."

"Good thing." Luo Feng was also interested and asked happily, "Where is it?" But do you also have my share?"

"I didn't have your share, but it happened that you caught up, even if it was you." Seeing his son sitting there, dressed in white and looking so gratifying, and seeing Mrs. Zheng sticking to Luo Feng's hand, with a happy face. The third aunt's heart became more useful.

"Look," Luo Feng seemed to have been wronged and moved in the direction of Mrs. Zheng. "The ancestors have to be the master for me. Those who see it have a share. I'm sure to drink this wine."

"Okay, okay," Zheng Taijun patted Luo Feng's hand and nodded repeatedly. "With me, I will tell you to drink enough."

"Bear by the way, who did you just say you were going to invite?" Luo Feng asked as if he remembered something.

Luo Feng's words made the previous lively and pleasant scene cool down in an instant. Several people looked at each other in con's faces and didn't know whether to answer or not.

"We are talking about whether we should also invite your wife." Hongyao looked at Mrs. Zheng's face and said slowly.

"Oh?" Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, and the waves in Taohua's eyes turned around the red medicine's face, which made the red medicine's face quickly turn red. Luo Feng gently raised his lips and turned his head to look at Mrs. Zheng.

"Then let's invite together." Mrs. Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Since she has recovered, I haven't seen her. It's better to call her to come and have fun than to see the sky in the room.

"Yes." The red medicine answered and nodded.

"Alas, it's just..." The fourth aunt, who has not said anything for a long time, sighed gently and said worriedly, "I just don't know if Yan'er's sad face will add trouble to the old lady."

"To talk about this Yan'er," Mr. Zheng also sighed, "how can such a man be responsible for the whole marquis's house? At least, it's also Jin'er's wife, isn't it? In this way, there is no reassuring way to give her the house.

As soon as the word "wife" was mentioned, Chi Caiqing Wanruo heard the two most comfortable words. She subconsciously sat up straight, lowered her head and tidied her sleeves, and then sat down calmly.
