Chapter 327: Longevity Festival, a large-scale melon-eating scene

On the Longevity Festival, Emperor Deyuan celebrated his 49th birthday, and all the civil and military officials in the court took three days off.

Early in the morning, the main room of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion became lively, and the main room's direct descendants dressed up and prepared to go to the palace to celebrate his birthday.

The Longevity Festival was not a trivial matter that was worth getting Jian Ruonan up early.

When it was time to set off, Mrs. Chen rolled up the quilt and carried her to the carriage with the quilt, as if she was not going to the palace to celebrate his birthday, but to the palace to serve him.

There were many carriages entering the palace today, so there would inevitably be traffic jams and queues. Moreover, the officials entered the palace first, and the family members entered later. Jian Ruonan planned to follow the family members into the palace and sit in the family seat during the banquet.

The melons of the civil and military officials have been eaten almost. With so many wives of officials gathered together today, I wonder how much melon they can eat.

As the wife of a first-rank marquis, the old lady also has to enter the palace. When she got up early in the morning, she received a visiting card from the wife of the second son of the King of Southwest.

The card said that the wife of the second son of the King of Southwest, Shang Er, came to the capital for the first time and was not familiar with it. She wanted to go to the palace with the old lady.

When Mrs. Shi received the card, she was trembling with fear.

The scene of the last time the Crown Princess of the King of Southwest invited her to visit was still vivid in her mind. The old lady thought that if this Lady Shang Er met the fifth sister, she might have a quarrel that day. She would offend her, so she immediately replied and refused on the grounds of illness. When Mrs.

Shang Er received the reply, she was puzzled and said, "Isn't the old lady of the Marquis of Jinyang a close friend of the Concubine Dowager? Why did you refuse?"

The old lady: What other reason is there? Of course, I want to live a few more years!

You haven't seen that living father. You will know the reason when you see him!

Madam Shang Er said with regret: "Today we are going to do something big. I wanted to take the old lady as a hostage. She is lucky to have escaped."

"Without the old lady, I will try to trick Teng Ge'er here later."

It is said that Jian Ruonan cares the most about this younger brother.

I hope Teng Ge'er can control Jian Ruonan by then.

Old lady: As the grandmother of that living father, I have no advantage at all and have suffered a lot!

At this time, Gao Shou, disguised as a servant serving Teng Ge'er, had already followed behind the carriage, ready to take action at any time.

~

Just at dawn, the official road leading to the palace was lined with official carriages.

Teng Ge'er lifted the curtain and poked his head out excitedly.

Min whispered, "Don't disturb your fifth sister's sleep."

Teng Ge'er held his little face and smiled, "Mom, don't worry, as long as the fifth sister doesn't want to wake up, no one can wake her up."

Min: "..."

Teng Ge'er raised his eyes and saw his old acquaintance Wang Defa, and waved quickly, "Brother Fa!"

Wang Defa rode a horse and followed his mother's carriage. Hearing Teng Ge'er's call, he crossed his legs and rode over.

"My nephew has seen the madam." Wang Defa saluted Min.

Wang Defa just turned sixteen and passed the imperial examination. He is not bad looking and is the youngest son in the family. How can Nannan not like him?

Min sighed.

Teng Ge'er immediately pulled Min and whispered, "Mom, Brother Fa and Princess Jiarou are in love."

Min:? !

"Tell me in detail!"

Jian Xilu and Jian Huayuan leaned forward together.

The lady in the next carriage also called the driver and pulled towards the carriage of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion.

After a while, the carriages on the official road formed a circle with the carriage of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion as the center.

The six-year-old cub had a gossipy face, and his hands were cupped into small trumpets and he chattered: "It was during the last suppression of bandits, when the two of them were playing mahjong, they fell in love..."

Jian Huayuan rarely ate melons with everyone, and didn't know the rules very well. He kept staring at the owner of the melon.

Wang Defa: Sorry, I'm still here!

Can you wait until I leave before eating my melon!

After eating Wang Defa's melon, Min Shi felt a little unsatisfied.

Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage next door was lifted, and a middle-aged woman waved to Min and said, "Madam Jian!"

Min looked and saw that this was the wife of Zuodu Yushi's family: "Hello, Madam Qu!"

Another carriage next to her lifted its curtain, and it was Madam Lu, the wife of the Dali Temple Minister.

Hearing Madam Qu and Madam Lu, Jian Ruonan curled up in the quilt and squirmed slightly.

[Yo, the two in-laws have met! ]

Min: ? ?

The Qu family and the Lu family have no marriage?

Madam Qu has two legitimate sons, and the Lu family has only sons and no daughters. How can they get married? !

Jian Ruonan struggled and opened her eyes: "Mother, the Qu family is getting married, help me get a letter of invitation!"

Min immediately understood and asked Madam Qu for the letter of invitation.

Jian Ruonan is a very popular figure in front of the emperor. She successfully suppressed the bandits last time, and this time she vaccinated against smallpox with cowpox. I heard that she is also the ambassador appointed by His Majesty to reduce the power of the feudal lords. She is really the most popular figure in Daxia. Now all the portraits of the Queen Mother of Smallpox on the market have been replaced with those of Jian Ruonan.

She was just worrying about how to make connections, and when she heard that Min wanted a letter, she immediately agreed enthusiastically.

Qu Huacan, who was riding a horse next to her, heard that Min wanted a letter, and his body tilted, and he almost fell off the horse.

Mrs. Qu saw that her son was uncomfortable, and asked hurriedly: "Huacan, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"

Qu Huacan raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat, "Mom, I'm fine."

"Sir Qu!"

Jian Ruonan was originally half asleep, and when she heard Sir Qu's name, her little ears moved.

[I wonder how Sir Qu is? 】

After taking over the brothel that day, she went home and had no time to pay attention to the follow-up.

Jian Ruonan struggled to get up, wrapped in a quilt with only her head exposed.

When Teng Ge'er saw that the fifth sister had woken up, he immediately stepped aside and gave up the C position by the window.

The only thing that could wake up the fifth sister was to eat melons, or big melons.

Wang Defa and Jian Huayuan rode their horses to guard beside them, while Min and Jian Xilu pricked up their ears.

The carriage of Zuodu Yushi's family was nearby, and Qu Huacan was seen riding a horse in an awkward position.

[Yo, Lord Qu is bent!!! He did it 0!!!]

There are five Lord Qus here, including the two sons of the Qu family, the father who is the Zuodu Yushi, and the branch of the Qu family. When

the Lord Qus heard Jian Ruonan's name, they perked up one by one.

? ?

He did it 0, what the hell, it doesn't sound like a good thing.

[Let me see, how many times did Lord Qu and his good brother do it that night...]

[Oh my god, seven times!!! Is it that crazy? It's really exciting!!! 】

【After the first time, Master Qu was still angry, feeling cheated, the second time he cursed his mother, the third time he kept silent... After the seventh time, Master Qu was completely slept with! 】

【The arrogant and spoiled bottom is really hard to deal with! 】

【Hey~~~ Master Qu and my good brother are still planning to meet tonight, he is so bent now~~~】

The inner voice was mixed with three parts of gossip, three parts of joy, and a little bit of ambiguity.

The surroundings were full of crows: !!!

Is it so powerful? !

Which Master Qu is it? !

As soon as Jian Ruonan's inner voice fell, there were suddenly several sounds of Kun standing up beside Zuo Du Yushi's carriage.

"Kacha——"

The Qus' backs were stretched straight, even the hands holding the reins, the legs in the stirrups, the fingers and toes were stretched straight. They were so straight

that they almost stood up from the horses.

Their bodies were stiff, like epileptic patients dancing ballet on horses.

Zuodu Yushi Qu, a second-rank official, was an important figure in the court. He had long known the ability of General Jian, and because he stretched the most, his toes cramped.

"Ouch——"

The eyes of the people around him were all focused on Zuodu Yushi like searchlights.

Zuodu Yushi Qu: "..."
