Chapter 046 Chapter 46
The moment he came in, everyone present knelt down, only Cheng Yishu sat there quietly eating melon seeds.
Xia Zhang waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up. The fourth princess also came in and began to preside over the Spring Banquet.
There is more to a banquet than just eating and drinking, there is also a lot of fun, and each fun activity has its own prizes, with a wide variety of prizes.
In addition to jewelry, there are also swords, knives, pens, inkstones, jade pendants, purses and the like.
There are many entertainment activities, such as throwing pots, drinking games, music and dance, flying flowers, passing flowers with drums, etc.
It is a good start for young people who know each other to get together and have fun.
Of course, during these fun times, one can also see each other’s talents and personalities.
Such large-scale banquets are rarely held in the capital. Most of them are private flower-viewing parties held by better families.
This time all the young men in Kyoto gathered together.
Cheng Yishu was not very interested in those projects. He glanced at Bai Xiao, who also had no interest. To him, those teenagers were too weak, and he had always bullied the weak.
But it's still nice to watch the fun.
Xia Zhang originally wanted to find Cheng Yishu, but after Cheng Yishu discovered his intention, he gave him a warning look.
Xia Zhang is so eye-catching, why should he just sit there and watch the show quietly?
Maybe what happened just now was too big a fuss. In order to enjoy the show in peace, Cheng Yishu quietly changed his clothes, covered his face, and let Bai Xiao fly with him to a tree and hide there.
The main reason was that he was afraid that once he went there, the young people who were having fun would become restrained.
Cheng Yishu was sitting on the tree trunk. Xia Zhang's eyes lit up when he saw him. He had just been feeling aggrieved that Cheng Yishu didn't let him go to find him.
Now seeing Cheng Yishu hiding in the tree, he immediately wanted to go find him.
Cheng Yishu glared at Xia Zhang through the tree branches. Xia Zhang sighed. What could he say? It was all because he was too dazzling.
Perhaps because he had found spiritual support, Xia Zhang's personality changed when he faced Cheng Yishu.
But for others...
Hey, of course it should be like this and like that.
After all, to him, Cheng Yishu is the only special one.
As for whether he loves or not, Xia Zhang doesn’t understand what love is yet... He only knows that Cheng Yishu is special.
Cheng Yishu's eyes were attracted by Fu Zhiruo. Fu Zhiruo also came to attend the Spring Banquet because she successfully recognized her relatives. Fu Xingli was a sober person. After the two were dealt with, only the old lady of the Fu family was left.
He originally planned to ask Cheng Yishu for help the next day, but some other things at home distracted him.
For example, Fu Rulan secretly came to the door to complain about his sympathy, Fu Junxie contacted his other friends for help, and old lady Fu in the village scolded him for being unfilial every day.
These all need to be dealt with. Fu Xingli is not that cruel. After all, Fu Rulan has been in pain for so many years. He was angry at the time, so he cut off the relationship cleanly. Later, when he came to his senses, he wanted to leave Fu Rulan a way out.
But when he saw Fu Zhiruo's thin figure, he hated her. If Fu Rulan had been more obedient, he could have given her a chance to survive.
But Fu Rulan was restless and took advantage of the general's wife's soft heart to go and complain about her misery.
While speaking, he was praising and stepping on one while praising himself.
This directly hardened Fu Xingli's softened heart.
Originally, Fu Xingli was a decisive and ruthless person. This time, he completely cut off Fu Rulan's retreat. Fu Rulan lived the same life as Fu Zhiruo did before.
Cheng Yishu watched Fu Zhiruo and her brother sitting there quietly appreciating other people's paintings. Fu Yunxing, like Fu Zhiruo, was a victim who was replaced. Because he was a boy, he was treated better and met an old couple who treated him very well. He was able to learn to read and pass the imperial examinations. The old couple were very old and passed away before he decided to take the exam. So Fu Yunxing was alone. When Fu Xingli came to recognize his relatives, he was able to look at the matter rationally.
He felt very sorry for Fu Zhiruo, who had the same experience as him, so he felt somewhat close to her.
Fu Zhiruo had a difficult life since childhood and was always on guard, so she was very sensitive to people's gazes.
She raised her head and looked towards the tree where Cheng Yishu was sitting. When she saw a corner of moon-white clothes, she knew who this person was.
She leaned close to Fu Yunxing's ear and whispered, "Third brother...my benefactor is there."
Fu Yunxing followed Fu Zhiruo's line of sight with a gentle smile, and he also saw the corner of her clothes.
He smiled, ruffled his sister's hair and said, "Shh, the benefactor doesn't know yet..."
Fu Zhiruo smiled shyly, her eyes shining like stars as she said: "But I want to thank my benefactor..."
The two of them were chatting in a harmonious atmosphere, but in the eyes of others it was very annoying.
A young man in brocade clothes strode towards the two of them. He looked at Fu Zhiruo and Fu Yunxing and sneered, "A village girl and a country boy are worthy of coming to this spring banquet."
Fu Yunxing's expression turned cold. He looked at the person in front of him. He didn't feel anything about this person talking about himself, but he should never talk about his sister.
Fu Zhiruo is very sensitive. She has not yet adapted well to suddenly becoming the daughter of a general. These days, she feels like it’s a dream, with her parents loving her and not having to suffer. Originally, General Fu and Madam Fu were afraid that she would not be able to adapt, so they planned to not let her attend the Spring Banquet.
However, Fu Zhiruo decided to participate, and she wanted to become braver little by little.
So she told General Fu and Mrs. Fu that she could do it.
Although Fu Yunxing was only an editor in the Hanlin Academy, he also had several good friends in the court. Because of General Fu's reputation, the good-tempered girls felt sorry for Fu Zhiruo, so they were able to talk to her.
As for those who looked down on her, although they despised her because she grew up in the countryside, there was no need to say anything. After all, she was just a poor little girl and they had no reason to bother with her.
Fu Rulan did have good friends, but they had all been warned by their families, so they could only pretend not to see anything.
And to put it bluntly, those who are on good terms with Fu Rulan all have similar personalities.
After all, birds of a feather flock together.
Therefore, the two of them did not encounter any difficulties here.
Except for the person in front of me.
This man was Fu Junxie's good friend and also Fu Rulan's admirer. During this period, Fu Rulan wrote him a letter every day.
In his eyes, Fu Rulan was noble and kind, a girl like the fairy Gushe. He fell in love with Fu Rulan at first sight. Although Fu Rulan was a little unfamiliar with him, it was also because men and women should not be intimate with each other.
Originally, he planned to wait until Fu Rulan came of age before proposing to her, but who knew that Fu Zhiruo would suddenly appear and take Rulan's place.
He has always wanted to find trouble with Fu Zhiruo, but he has been locked up at home. Now, when he sees her, he can't help but make fun of her.
Cheng Yishu was also attracted by this place. He blinked at the spoiled young master.
[Is this guy an idiot? Didn’t you see that none of Fu Rulan’s other admirers came forward? ]
The eldest young master was stunned for a moment. He was the eldest young master of the Yunyuanhou family and the future heir to the title. As he was the only son in the family, he had been spoiled when he grew up.
I've never been scolded like this before.
Although he knew that the Imperial Master was very powerful, when he found out about Fu Rulan's affairs, he secretly cursed Cheng Yishu.
He felt that the Imperial Master was meddling in other people's affairs. His Rulan was well-behaved and cute, so how could she be such a vicious person?
Moreover, the main reason why he was stunned was not because of being scolded, but because of... other admirers???
Rulan told him that she seldom left the mansion, so she didn't know many people, so she was a little scared when faced with his love...
Besides, did Rulan get close to other young masters? It seemed that she didn't have any influence on him.
Fu Zhiruo was originally a little sad about what was said, and felt that she had lost someone from the general's mansion.
After hearing Cheng Yishu's voice, she instantly stopped feeling sad.
Is the Imperial Master speaking for them? How magical.
Fu Yunxing understood something from this sentence. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but when he raised his head and looked at the young marquis in front of him, his smile became warm again.
He said: "No matter where my little sister and I grew up, we are both of the general's bloodline. Please be careful with your words, are you trying to make an enemy of my general's mansion?"
The young marquis glared at her and said, "They are just two people from the countryside. I was just telling the truth. How could I become an enemy of the general's mansion? Besides, how can she compare to Rulan!"
This statement confirmed his relationship with Fu Rulan. Slowly, four or five young men walked out from the surroundings. One of them looked at the young marquis in front of him and asked, "Rulan? Are young marquis Li and Miss Fu on good terms?"
The young marquis raised his head proudly. Although he didn't understand why this person asked this, his relationship with Fu Rulan had changed since Fu Rulan was driven out.
Thinking of Fu Rulan, he felt a little distressed. He looked at this person and said as a matter of course: "Of course, although Rulan is not the general's lady now, she will be my marquis' wife in the future!"
The young man's face turned cold. Although he had a good impression of Fu Rulan, he was not a fool. He sneered and said, "Really? Then please tell your future wife not to send me messages in the future!"
The young man in front of him is the son of an imperial merchant. He also has relatives serving as officials in the court. He met Fu Rulan through Fu Junxie.
