Many people came to the lotus appreciation banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Hao Jiaojiao invited almost all the famous ladies in the capital. Su Xubai was not willing to go, but Xu Ziqing wanted to come to the house early in the morning to find someone. He had no choice but to force himself.
The scalp follows.
The so-called lotus viewing banquet is nothing more than a small lotus pond, where a bunch of men and women eat wine, drink tea, and play drums to spread flowers. Su Xubai has never liked these pretentious and elegant occasions. Even if he came, he was not in the mood.
.
However, Meng Shaoqing, who came with him, spotted Su Xubai at a glance and ran to him across the sea of people: "Why are you here today? I remember that you never like these banquets. I thought you
Most likely they won’t come!”
"I didn't plan to come, but a clingy man came to my house early in the morning and dragged me over!" Su Xubai's face was full of helplessness, and then he looked at Xu Ziqing aside, "Isn't that right?
Clingy!"
Xu Ziqing was not annoyed, he just smiled: "On weekdays, I just stay at home, so why not go out for a walk? It doesn't hurt!"
Meng Shaoqing and Xu Ziqing were cousins, and they moved around a lot on weekdays. They were not surprised at all when they saw each other, but Meng Shaoqing only wanted to know if the woman he saw yesterday was Su Xubai's concubine.
, so he refused to waste time talking nonsense with Xu Ziqing and followed Su Xubai all the time.
Because there were so many people, Meng Shaoqing never found a chance to talk to Su Xubai. On the contrary, Su Xubai was annoyed by him and stopped: "Do you have something to say to me?"
"Yesterday I was drinking in a restaurant and saw a woman. She was very beautiful. I asked her which family she was from. She said she was from your family. Can you tell me if she was from your family?" Meng Shaoqing
He grabbed Su Xubai's hand, his eyes shining.
Su Xubai was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly: "I don't know, I was busy all day yesterday and I didn't see her!"
"Then you don't even know if she has ever been on the street?" Meng Shaoqing was a little surprised, "She is your little lady after all, but you don't care at all!"
Su Xubai laughed angrily at Meng Shaoqing's inexplicable accusation: "Why didn't I take it to heart? She lived in the house with good food and drink, and she could go wherever she wanted. I gave her money to spend.
Why should I keep it in mind? Is it possible to carry it with me every day?"
Meng Shaoqing was speechless and hesitated for a long time before saying, "That's true!"
Su Xubai couldn't help but frown: "Others always say you are a playboy, but I don't think so. I have been away from the capital for such a period of time, but I think you have changed a lot!"
Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows: "Have I changed? What have I changed?"
"I remember that Meng Shaoqing was not the kind of person who would look at women on the street!" Su Xubai snorted, "How is it like now? Not only does he stare at people, but he also comes to me to ask if he is my daughter-in-law.
, if you ask me to tell you whether she is my little girl, it has nothing to do with you. You’d better ask less, so as not to get beaten!”
Meng Shaoqing didn't panic at all, he just smiled and said: "Su Xubai, why don't you tell me where you got your beauty? Where did you find such a pretty little girl? Man Jinchen's lady,
I've seen countless ones, but none of them are as charming and pretty as your little girl. I'm very happy when I see them."
Xu Ziqing on the side accidentally overheard and rushed over, pulling away Meng Shaoqing, who was speaking eloquently: "It's a joke, what he said was just a joke. You know, he has always been eloquent."
You are blocking, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!”
Meng Shaoqing's mouth was tightly covered by Xu Ziqing, and he couldn't struggle to open it. In the end, he could only accept his fate and let Xu Ziqing drag him away.
After reaching a corner and making sure that no one was around, Xu Ziqing let go of Meng Shaoqing: "Sooner or later, you will be killed by your mouth!"
Meng Shaoqing frowned: "How can it be such an exaggeration? I'm just a little curious, are all the women in Jiangnan as beautiful as her little mother!"
"You'd better ask less about his wife!" Xu Ziqing patted Meng Shaoqing on the shoulder, "If you are an irregular person, there are many women around you on weekdays. If you just say it, they may not care, but Su
Xu Bai, a wooden person, suddenly got a woman like this. Naturally, he is very concerned about it. If you ask me like this, he will inevitably be annoyed!"
"Would someone who is the most beloved person still be willing to let her be my concubine?" Meng Shaoqing snorted coldly. Before Xu Ziqing could speak, he interrupted first, "As long as the person who is truly the most beloved person, even if there are reasons why it is difficult for her to go to heaven, she will never give up."
It is impossible for her to be her concubine. This is the rule of our Yongchang Marquis Mansion: one person, one person, for life."
Xu Ziqing was blocked and couldn't speak for a long time. Meng Shaoqing didn't care about him and walked forward: "Besides, I'm not the only one who saw his little lady yesterday. Maybe I'll see you again later."
Someone is going to ask him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Shaoqing saw Hao Jiaojiao standing at the corner. He paused and then said with a smile: "Why is Miss Hao staying here alone instead of playing drums and passing flowers with them?"
Hao Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Prince Meng, have you also met the young lady from Mr. Su's family?"
Meng Shaoqing paused, then smiled and said: "What's wrong, is Miss Hao also curious about this young lady?"
"I heard that she is very good-looking. I have heard a lot of rumors about her these days, and I want to know how good-looking she is." Hao Jiaojiao looked at Meng Shaoqing and said with a smile.
"She is indeed a very good-looking woman, but after all, she is from the countryside. She timidly looks at Xiaojiaozhi. Unlike Miss Hao, who is born with a noble look. As for saying that he is good-looking, it is just used by us men on weekdays.
If you are joking, Miss Hao doesn’t need to take it too seriously," Meng Shaoqing said with a smile.
Seeing that Meng Shaoqing was unwilling to say more, Hao Jiaojiao stopped asking and turned to leave.
After Hao Jiaojiao left, Xu Ziqing came out: "You are quite smart, you know what to say and what not to say!"
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see what this lady of the world thinks about Su Xubai. I am also a person who understands compassion and cherishes jade, okay? That little lady is good-looking and has no background. To provoke such a lady of the world?
I'm afraid she'll have to suffer a lot! Looking at her delicate look, I don't know if she can bear it!" Meng Shaoqing shook his head and sighed longly.
