Miss Difficult to Marry

At the end of March, there were several spring rains in a row, and the weather improved a little on the sixth and seventh day.Until the ninth day of the lunar new year, fortunately, the weather was sunny, the wind swept away the clouds, and the soil was warm and fertile.

Early in the morning, several maidservants in the east courtyard came in and out serving water and tea.Qiu Jun washed his hands and came in from outside the house. Hui'er and the others were preparing clothes and headgear, opening boxes to find hairpins, earrings, pearls, and a silver-rimmed box containing rouge cream. They were very busy.

Today, the Qin Manor held a grand banquet, and anyone with a reputation in Yunzhou City would come to join in.Since the time of Chen, there have been guests coming to the door one after another. In front of the Qin Mansion, horses shuttled back and forth, and floats and chariots came and went.From the front hall to the backyard, hundreds of banquet tables were filled with male and female guests.

In the back kitchen, not to mention the full menu of pigs, sheep, fish and chickens, two fat buffaloes were killed yesterday morning. In addition to mountain delicacies and game, there are also fine wines and wines and various novel fruit cakes.Anyway, no matter how expensive it is, the money is really spent like water.

In the front hall, everyone was full of joy. Counting from the guest seats, there were eighteen tables neatly arranged in the main hall alone. Except for this, the left and right sides of the courtyard were also arranged. mat surface.There were so many guests, not only the maids in several courtyards of the Qin Mansion were busy entertaining the guests, but even the decent women came out to serve tea and water.

Chen Qingyu changed into the round-neck blue and gold silk outerwear today, and she stood there, delicate and indifferent.

Because the main family has a small population, Qin Tianwang, who is a cousin, has to be busy greeting guests.Seeing that Chen Qingyu was chatting happily with people with a smile on his face, he walked over with smiles on his face.

"Congratulations to Master Rong, congratulations to Master Rong!"

Chen Qingyu put away her smile and said lightly: "Young Master Qin, tell me why I like it?"

Ahem, Qin Tianwang was bored, curled his lips disapprovingly and walked away.

Several guests came here again, they came over with a smile and cupped their hands and said, "Master Rong, congratulations."

"Thank you very much, please."

"...Young Master Rong is so lucky. In a few days, he will be married to Miss Qin. You two are both talented and beautiful, and you are really a match made in heaven."

Chen Qingyu smiled and resigned modestly, "You are welcome, please, please."

At this time, most of the guest seats in the hall were already occupied. Besides the famous local gentry, many people also came to the yamen. Zhou Cheng, the deputy envoy of the appeasement envoy, was entrusted to bring congratulatory gifts.

Qin Zhongkun, Master Qin was still chatting and laughing happily with those distinguished guests who came from afar, he stroked his beard and laughed loudly from time to time, his face was full of red.

"...Brother Zhang Shixiong is too much, you can praise people like nothing else in the sky."

"This is not a boast. I just said a few words to Mr. Rong's family. He looks gentle and handsome, he is polite and thoughtful, and he is also talented. I heard that he is also very skilled. You see, in today's world How many high-strength young people can there be?"

Qin Zhongkun laughed and said, "Praise, praise."

"You are lucky. Since Ling Qianjin has let go, I think the day of coming here to worship and get married is near, right?"

Qin Zhongkun said with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry, we will formally welcome the relatives and get married on the 22nd, when the time comes, I would like to invite you all to honor me."

"It must be, it's only a matter of eleven or twelve days. It seems that I have to prepare some of the best gifts for my niece to get married."

"Hahaha, old brother, I've been waiting for you to talk for half a day."

After speaking, several people laughed.

"Master." A regular follower came over and said in a low voice: "Master, Miss is here."

Qin Zhongkun hurriedly said: "Call her over quickly."

When Qin Yuzhen came in, the hall was still bustling with noise. There were so many people, and the first time she came in, she saw Chen Qingyu.

The two people's eyes met, Chen Qingyin hid a trace of haze in his eyes, and smiled faintly with the corners of his lips curled up, revealing two pear dimples on his cheeks.

It can be seen that Miss Qin has carefully dressed up today, wearing a pale silver-red Luo Ling skirt, and wearing a hibiscus returning to the cloud bun on her hair.A light layer of rouge was evenly applied on the face, the red lips were bright, and even the pointed jade fingers were dyed with the juice of impatiens.The jade bamboo shoots and red buds make the beauty extraordinarily bright and moving.

Qin Yuzhen lowered her head slightly and walked past her.

"Come, come, Yuzhen." Master Qin said, "Come here and greet the two uncles. It seems like you haven't seen each other for several years."

"Zhang Shibo, Lin Shibo." Qin Yuzhen slightly bent his legs and blessed him.

"Oh, it really is the Eighteenth Change of the Women's University. In just a few years, Yu Zhen has grown up."

"Yeah," another said with emotion: "I think she was only so tall when I saw her. She was like a fan in the past, but now she is going to get married."

Qin Zhongkun said with a smile: "Baiju dies easily, otherwise we would all be old."

……

Qin Yuzhen pursed her lips and smiled without showing her teeth, looking like a lady of every family.

She wasn't in the mood to reminisce about the old days, she looked at Chen Qingyu with soft eyes across the crowd.After today, the two can only see each other again after they worship and get married.Over there, Chen Qingyu was talking with people with a warm smile on his face, every frown and smile made Miss Qin unable to look away.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the guests were seated, and the food and wine were gradually being served.

All the way to the door of the main hall, the resentful Miss Qin still couldn't say a word to Chen Qingyu.

The chairperson at the table, apart from several respected elders from the Qin clan, was Mr. Qin and a few senior officials and gentry. Chen Qingyu sat on the right side across from Qin Zhongkun, and Qin Tianwang sat at the bottom.

According to the local customs, after the banquet started, Chen Qingjiu would stand up and toast one cup at a time. Fortunately, she held a good amount of alcohol, and after one round, she was not drunk yet.

In the hall, the guests and the host had a good time.

As soon as Qin Zhongkun drank a glass of wine, he saw a person in charge running in from outside. As soon as the person came in, he hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, Qin Zhongkun thought for a while and said, "Then let He comes in."

Qin Tian, ​​who was sitting across from him and lowered his head, saw that although his uncle's face was calm, there was a flash of anger in his eyes.

That's it?

There was a lot of noise here, but Chen Qingyu was still eating food slowly with his chopsticks raised, with his eyebrows lowered.

Soon, someone came in, and everyone saw that the person who came was Wang En, the son of Lord Wang, the prefect of the city.

Behind Wang En, there was a young man wearing Yanqing's summer shirt.

Qin Zhongkun was dissatisfied when he saw a few government servants with knives flashing past the hall.It seems that Wang En may be in a bad mood today.

"I've seen Master Qin."

Wang En looked very high-spirited today. He came over and bowed his hands to see the ceremony, and then stood straight in the middle.

"My lord, your father's congratulatory gift has already been delivered. Since you are here to drink, please sit down."

Qin Zhongkun said lightly.

Wang En smiled and said, "Master Qin, you misunderstood. I didn't come here today to drink this glass of wine."

Not here for a drink?

Qin Zhongkun finally sank his face. He pointed to the yamen servants outside and asked, "My lord, what are you doing?"

The hall finally gradually quieted down.

Qin Tianwang sneered slightly, wondering if this man surnamed Wang is crazy. Most of the people present in the main hall are from Yunzhou City. Almost everyone has heard about the prince's love for Miss Qin's family. Look at him Today's posture is probably intentional to cause trouble.

There were people talking about it, "How can this matter be so strong? Since it has been so long, it is still making trouble."

"That's right, Mr. Wang is a local parent official after all, so he's afraid he won't be ridiculed if he does this..."

Wang En's face changed when he heard the discussion.

"Master Qin, I, Wang Enlai, didn't intend to make things difficult for you today, it's just that things happened suddenly, so I had no choice but to offend you."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and fixed his eyes on the contented Chen Qingyun.

"Master Rong?"

Chen Qingyu stopped his chopsticks and raised his head, as if he had just discovered the living person in front of him.

"Yo, it turns out to be Prince Wang, sorry for your disrespect."

Wang En sneered coldly at her hypocrisy: "Master Rong, it seems that you are very proud of this beautiful day."

Zhou Cheng saw that the situation was not good, so he got up quickly and persuaded him: "Master Wang, today is a good day for Master Rong. If there is anything, you can talk about it later. We are all in this city of Yunzhou. If you don't see you when you look up, you don't see him when you look down." Why bother to fight for this idleness, it ruins everyone's friendship."

At this time, Qin Tianwang also persuaded in a tone of voice: "Young Master Wang, why are you doing this, in front of so many people, you should at least take care of your own face."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Chen Qingyu's mouth, she looked at Wang En, and said, "How about it, Young Master Wang, since you're all here, why don't you sit down and have a drink."

Wang En looked at the two people who sang together, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, he said in a drawn out voice, "Master Qin, Master Rong, you two, don't be too complacent, there is a saying that goes, 'If you want others to know you, unless you don't Why.’ Some things you can hide, but some things are difficult.”

Qin Tianwang's face changed slightly, "Wang En, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Enpi smiled, "It seems that you will not cry when you see the coffin today."

Qin Tianwang held back his anger and said, "Young Master Wang, this is the Qin Mansion, you don't want to come here to act wild just because your father has the title of magistrate!"

Looking at the silent guests in the hall, Qin Zhongkun's face turned dark.

Wang En looked around and raised his hand and said, "Master Qin." He pointed at Chen Qingyu and said loudly, "This person is not Rongli! She is a fake!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

The fake Young Master Rong?

Qin Tianwang stood up abruptly, "You, you spitting blood."

"Prince Wang..." Chen Qingyu stood up slowly, "Don't slander me maliciously. When did my appearance become a fake? The sky is bright and the sky is clear, so don't talk nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense? Good! It seems that you will not die until you reach the Yellow River."

Wang En turned around and asked the person behind him to come out, "Come on, tell everyone now, what is your name? Where did you come from?"

The young man stood up, scanned the hall with his eyes, and said calmly, "My name is Rong Li, and I'm from the capital."
