Chapter 342: Peacock Hit by Bird Poop
When Qiu Moshu, the son of the Shangshu Mansion, heard the laughter coming from the women's table, a glimmer of pride flashed in his eyes.
Then, he put on what he thought was the most suave look and looked towards the women's seats.
Unfortunately, I only saw some slim figures but couldn’t see their faces clearly.
After making arrangements for Qiu Moshu, County Magistrate Zheng looked around at the guests in the pavilion and discovered that the two princes, Zhuo Yishu and Zhai Ruyu, were still missing.
This is not surprising.
After all, the more noble one's status is, the later one has to come in order to demonstrate one's status and position.
Although Zhuo Yishu and Zhai Ruyu appeared to be humble towards County Magistrate Zheng, County Magistrate Zheng knew in his heart that these two princes did not take him, a mere county magistrate, seriously.
"Look, who is this young man from?"
The girls on the women's side now have a new focus.
I saw Zhai Ruyu, the eldest son of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, wearing a light purple brocade robe and holding a jade folding fan in his hand, walking slowly and gracefully towards the pavilion.
This gentle and jade-like appearance perfectly demonstrates the word "dignified".
I have to say, it's quite intimidating.
The eyes of the group of girls immediately lit up.
Although Zhai Ruyu looks a little older, she is very attractive to girls who want to marry into a wealthy family.
"This is the prince of the Yongning Marquisate." Ye Mingyan's slightly proud voice sounded behind the girls, "Prince Zhai is from the capital..."
Ye Mingyan's words stopped abruptly before he could finish them, and the expression on his face froze.
Not only did Ye Mingyan's expression freeze, but the other girls also showed expressions of shock on their faces.
"I, am I not dazzled?" a girl murmured, "This prince... was hit by bird shit?"
"I also saw a flock of birds flying over, and then some bird droppings fell on his head..."
"No, he himself seems... not to have noticed..."
Zhai Ruyu indeed didn't notice, because he still looked like a handsome gentleman, walking slowly and leisurely.
Although, he also felt like something had fallen on his head just now.
However, he didn't care.
Zhai Ruyu walked into the pavilion with bird droppings on his head.
"Mr. Qiu!"
As soon as Zhai Ruyu saw Qiu Moshu, his face darkened.
When Qiu Moshu saw Zhai Ruyu, he also looked unhappy.
"Who am I to be so arrogant? It turns out to be Prince Zhai!"
When County Magistrate Zheng saw that the two men knew each other, but there was a tense atmosphere as soon as they met, he immediately had a bad premonition.
"Mr. Qiu condescended to come to such a small place. Is it because the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion has fallen on hard times and he can no longer rely on the power of his grandfather, the Duke of Yingguo, and can no longer gain a foothold in the capital?" Zhai Ruyu said sarcastically.
Qiu Moshu's face changed, and he shouted angrily, "Zhai Ruyu, my grandfather was an important official in the court. Why should our Shangshu Mansion rely on the Yingguo Mansion? On the contrary, your Yongning Marquis Mansion has only a title, but you don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. You rely entirely on the protection of your ancestors to show off your power!"
Zhai Ruyu could no longer shake the fan in his hand, as if he had been slapped in the face.
He was furious and said, "Qiu Moshu! Don't lie..."
County Magistrate Zheng's head was buzzing and he could no longer hear the attacks between Zhai Ruyu and Qiu Moshu.
The only thought in his mind right now was that this Mr. Qiu was actually a relative of the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion!
No! This Mr. Qiu's mother was the one who wanted to kill Fu Ya's mother, the second daughter of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion!
No wonder Mr. Qiu said he came here to visit relatives with his mother.
It turns out that the second girl has also come to Fengqi County!
County Magistrate Zheng subconsciously looked towards the Su brothers.
The two brothers, Su Laowu and Su Xiaoliu, sat in adjacent seats.
At this time, the two brothers' expressions had changed.
County Magistrate Zheng was very worried.
However, he couldn't kick Qiu Moshu out, right?
He doesn't have the courage.
I just hope that the Su brothers will not confront Qiu Moshu.
At this moment, County Magistrate Zheng wished he had not held a banquet.
"Master Qiu, Prince Zhai, please calm down..."
County Magistrate Zheng stepped forward with a bitter face to smooth things over.
Fortunately, Qiu Moshu and Zhai Ruyu did not continue to confront each other, and both gave face to their master, County Magistrate Zheng.
Zhai Ruyu snorted coldly, flicked her folding fan, put on an extremely noble look, and turned around to sit opposite Qiu Moshu.
However, as soon as he turned around, Qiu Moshu saw bird droppings under his hair.
Qiu Moshu was stunned at first, then pointed at Zhai Ruyu and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha……"
Zhai Ruyu was inexplicably laughed at, and then he found that many people around him were looking at him with strange eyes, their mouths twitching, and they looked like they were enduring.
Zhai Ruyu, “…”
My eyelids twitched for no apparent reason.
"This young man has bird droppings on his head."
I don't know who it was, but someone said it in a low voice.
As soon as these words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Zhai Ruyu.
Zhai Ruyu subconsciously reached out and touched his head.
The slippery touch made his heart skip a beat.
Zhai Ruyu held her breath and slowly withdrew her hand...
There was green bird droppings on my fingers!
"vomit!"
Zhai Ruyu vomited immediately.
Everyone around showed disgusted expressions and dodged.
The Su brothers looked at each other, and Su Xiaoliu was about to roll up his sleeves.
Su Laowu held his brother down and whispered, "No rush."
Su Xiaoliu thought about it and agreed.
This guy hasn't been stung by a wasp yet!
It would be best to sting this bad guy to death!
The commotion on the men's side naturally attracted the attention of the women's side.
However, Qiu Moshu’s identity was not passed on.
"Mom, was that peacock hit by bird droppings?" Little Tangbao asked in a tender voice.
Old Mrs. Su naturally knew what her little girl meant, and nodded while suppressing her anger.
"Peacock?" Mrs. Zheng looked puzzled.
"Yes, the man who just entered the pavilion with a fan looked like a peacock with its tail puffed up, worthy of praise." Little Tangbao explained carefully.
Madam Zheng, “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched.
That’s the prince of the Marquis’ Mansion!
She'd better not ask any more questions, lest Fu Ya say anything inappropriate.
"Sister Fuya, would you like to sit over there with your sister?" Ye Mingyan's eyes flashed and she said to Xiao Tangbao with a smile.
Xiao Tangbao saw that the table was full of girls and did not refuse.
"Okay." Little Tangbao agreed readily.
After all, the table with my mother and Mrs. Zheng is full of elderly ladies.
I am young and a junior, so I really shouldn't sit at this table.
"Mingyan, take good care of Fuya." Mrs. Zheng reminded.
She was happy to see her niece and Xiao Tangbao getting close.
"I understand, aunt." Ye Mingyan replied with a smile.
Then he affectionately took the little Tangbao's hand and went to a seat nearby.
