Chapter 142 Accompanying Guests
Li Xiaoyao grabbed the hand stove in one hand and got out of the car with a cloak in one hand. Mr. Liang and Shuiyan were also getting off the car behind them. Seeing Li Xiaoyao, he hurriedly greeted with a smile on his face. Li Xiaoyao stopped and turned his head and waited for the two to come over. Next to the car in front of him, a man in his twenties, with a very handsome face and corners of his eyes The young man with a kind smile between his eyebrows has hurriedly greeted him and bowed to Su Zicheng to the end. Chunfeng said with a full face and said, "The second master is well. My father and uncles have gone out to wait for the holy driver. I urge him to wait for the second master here. The second master is here to invite me."
"Well, has the uncle arrived yet?"
"Not yet." The young man turned around and let Su Zicheng smile at Shuiyan, Mr. Liang and Li Xiaoyao, but his eyes kept hovering on Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao nodded with a smile and saluted. This is Guo Neyu, the second son of Guo Minda, Marquis of Ningyi. She has long peeked at several direct children of the Guo family. Who knows who knows very clearly? Li Xiaoyao seems to I didn't feel his look. I just turned my head and whispered and laughed with Shuiyan. I followed Su Zicheng casually, turned the moon cave door, and came to a spacious courtyard. Li Xiaoyao looked around. This is where the gate came in. The shadow wall has been removed. There used to be a moon gate or something on both sides. Anyway, it's empty now. There is nothing left. From the gate to the main hall, Li Xiaoyao gently raised his eyebrows. Mr. Liang and Shuiyan also turned their heads and looked around. Shuiyan knocked on Guo Nayu with the folding fan in his hand and asked with a smile, "That old ginkgo tree has also been cut down?"
"No! On the edge of the shadow wall, no matter how it was placed, it blocked the car, and my uncle let people cut it. It's a pity that the tree is simple and elegant. Guo Nyu answered casually. It was a pity, but Li Xiaoyao didn't hear any pity. Compared with receiving the holy driver, it was not a pity!
Su Zicheng was talking to several elderly people next to him, bending slightly and being extremely modest. Li Xiaoyao looked at him. At this moment, he looked like a virtuous corporal. Mr. Liang followed Li Xiaoyao's eyes to Su Zicheng and whispered with a smile, "The one on the far right is the uncle. Mr. Wang, who is almost 80 years old. I heard that his temper is still as stubborn as when he was young. No matter how poor he is, he will not accept other people's things. Even the things given by the two masters have to be held on festivals. There is a reason to say, and the money is not collected, and the valuable ones are not collected. Li Xiaoyao looked at Mr. Wang with a smile. Sure enough, he was dry and thin, like a lump of lake stone. It turned out that this was the Mr. Wang who gave gifts and asked for oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Mr. Liang whispered to Li Xiaoyao to the people standing in twos and threes, and did not say much. Guo Ningfang, the eldest son of Guo Minda, respectfully led Su Ziyi in. Su Ziyi was followed by a man in his twenties, with a square appearance and Shuiyan. Shuiyan was standing near the door of the moon cave. He hurriedly bowed to Su Ziyi, bowed his hand to salute Guo Erfang, and finally turned to look at Su Ziyi. The man on the side arched his hand affectionately and greeted him. This must be the eldest son of Zhenninghou Shuiqing. He was the companion of the eldest prince since he was a child. I heard that the two had a very good relationship.
Li Xiaoyao looked at the two and suddenly had a bad idea. Su Ziyi was just a daughter. In this way, there was no concubine in the back house. Li Xiaoyao suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on his eyebrows. Haha! This idea is really bad!
Su Ziyi greeted everyone with a gentle attitude and walked to Mr. Wang. He and Su Zicheng stood alone with Mr. Wang. First, he said a few words to Mr. Wang before smiling and greeting everyone and talking. As soon as he said a few words, the whip outside the gate rang. The holy driver arrived. Everyone quickly stopped laughing and did not need to People guide each other and stand in their respective positions, waiting to welcome the holy driver. Li Xiaoyao and Mr. Liang retreated to the last corner of the crowd, knelt down with the singing sound, and fell on the ground with their hands, waiting for the arrival of the holy driver.
A sound of neat and light footsteps came. Li Xiaoyao secretly raised his head from the crowd and looked at the gate. At the gate, Guo Minda, the Marquis of Ningyi, and Guo Qian, the Marquis of Ningyuan, half bowed their waists and led them sideways in front of their bodies. Behind them, a wide red sandalwood bagged gold cart had unloaded the horses and was pulled by eight strong servants, slowly. Entering the red gate that had been demolished the threshold, the car came in and was followed by a slightly smaller silver car decorated with yellow pears. The two cars stopped together. In the front of the car, the emperor had a black-bottomed yellow sea dragon-patterned silk-faced sable cloak with a gentle smile on his face, holding Guo Minda's hand and slowly stepped out of the car. On the car, Guo Hou wore a bright yellow silk mink cloak, wearing a bright and eye-catching phoenix crown, holding the hand of the maid of honor, and also got out of the car. Behind Guo, the third prince was taken out of the car by the waiter. The emperor first walked to the old man Wang, bent down to help the old man Wang, and said with a smile, "You are an old minister of the previous dynasty, and you are old. I have said it for a long time ago. You don't have to do this big gift."
"The gift must not be abolished, and it must not be abolished!" Mr. Wang was grateful, but he insisted on kowtoming two heads before standing up under the half support of the emperor and the servant. Li Xiaoyao was peeking at the helplessness on the emperor's face.
"Get up. It's freezing. Don't be polite." When the emperor spoke, Li Xiaoyao hurriedly followed the crowd and stood up. Everyone stood up and gave way out the middle passage. Guo Minda and Guo Qianqian led forward. The emperor turned around and waved to the third prince. Guo Hou hurriedly pushed the third prince over. The emperor took the third prince's hand. Guo Hou followed the emperor closely with a modest face. Smile, and then behind it were Lv Hua and Lv Feng. Li Xiaoyao looked at Lv Hua with a respectful face and Lv Feng, who turned around and looked around, and quickly turned his head. If Lv Feng saw her, he would not dare to say hello to her!
Lv Feng had seen Li Xiaoyao. His eyes were full of excitement and wanted to run over. He glanced at Lv Hua with a serious face, but did not dare to move. He had to follow his eldest brother and follow the emperor and the third prince. After Li Xiaoyao, he frowned desperately. Li Xiaoyao ignored him and followed everyone honestly. The road entered the main hall. The queen was followed by Yu, the wife of Ningyuan Marquis, and turned from the side to the back.
The emperor sat down and drank a cup of tea. Under the guidance of Ning Yuanhou, he got up and walked to the garden behind him.
Along the way, the layers were clear. Guo Minda and Guo Qianqian led the third prince. Su Ziyi and Su Zicheng were half a step behind. Guo Nafang, Guo Nayu and other children of the Guo family let Lv Hua and Lv Feng follow the Su brothers. Later, it was Hanlin, the left and right prime ministers and several cabinet who came to serve. Finally, It was the accompanying guests like Mr. Liang and Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at the water rock playing with the fan and followed leisurely. The water rock was understanding. He took half a step close to Li Xiaoyao and said in a low voice, "This is the glory of the Guo family. My eldest brother and I are better to stay behind." Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and looked at the female servants in the distance. This is also the glory of the current queen's family. Naturally, the former queen's family was silent. No wonder only Shuiyan and Shuijia came.
It was also comfortable to fall at the end. Several people walked slowly and talked low about the scenic building of the Ningyuan Houfu. Mr. Liang saw something and unified the sentence 'extremely rare'. When Shuiyan heard 'extremely rare', he immediately answered the sentence 'rarely'. Li Xiaoyao looked at it. The two people, who praised everything seriously, kept nodding and admiring them: "The two of them have unique vision, and every word is true insight!" Shuiqi looked at the three people and blinked for a moment, smiled tightly, and simply shook the folding fan.
After half a quarter of an hour, everyone hugged the emperor and climbed to a high place and entered a large warm pavilion with windows open. Around the big warm pavilion were several small or medium or very small warm pavilions with corridors, and the windows were also wide open. The four people quickly picked up the space next to the big warm pavilion, hidden behind a thick ancient tree. A very small warm pavilion.
Li Xiaoyao entered the warm pavilion and sighed comfortably. The windows were still open, and the warm pavilion was still as warm as spring, but there was no charcoal basin everywhere. Mr. Liang stood in the warm pavilion and walked half a circle and whispered to Li Xiaoyao, "Look, does such a prince's house make you and me feel discouraged?" Li Xiaoyao reached out and touched the pillar of the warm pavilion and replied with a smile, "Is this pavilion that makes you feel depressed? Isn't Zhengcheng's wisteria house built such a wall? But burn more charcoal, you can afford it.
Shuiyan and Shuiqi laughed. Shuiyan came forward and patted Mr. Liang and smiled, "Xiao Wu is not a scholar. She is..." Shuiyan coughed back to the words. Mr. Liang seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyao and said, "It's reasonable to recite poems later. Have you prepared a few poems?"
Li Xiaoyao spread out his hand: "How can I recite poems!" Mr. Liang looked at Li Xiaoyao doubtfully. Li Xiaoyao quickly explained, "That's what I saw at the gate of others. I really saw it." Shuiyan turned his head and looked at the two people and came over to ask, "What is it? What did you see at the gate?
"It's a couplet. Xiaoyao sent me a couplet when he was in Taiping Mansion. If you have a good heart, you will not be rewarded, if you have no intention, you will be evil, but you will not be punished." Mr. Liang replied with a smile. Lv Yan chewed and read it slowly and said, "It's a little interesting." Shuiqi stared at Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao hurriedly explained, "It's the couplet in front of the Yanluo Hall, and I don't remember where I saw it." Shuiqi said with a smile, "It's good, it's too demanding."
"That is, people say that filial piety does not matter whether it is good, and ** does not matter whether it is a heart." Li Xiaoyao hurriedly followed with a smile, and Mr. Liang also smiled, "This is reasonable. The world is changing. It's better to be able to do things at the right time."
