Chapter 166

The noon banquet is in the yard, and the evening is the main banquet.

For the one-hundred-table running-water seats, the rest of the people must wait until the relatives and nobles are seated.

Jin Guogong sent Ximen Xiaoyue's second uncle and aunt and some young people from the family to marry him. Because the family members of her mother's family could not be present during the worship hall, the Ximen family didn't know what happened in the main hall just now. , I just feel that after tossing for a long time, I haven't been able to drink, because the sender can only return after drinking, and he can't leave without drinking.

Most of the wedding senders didn't even have breakfast, they came in at noon, and they hadn't had lunch until Shen Shi. Those people were so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs, but the crown prince and Murong Jie didn't come out, so it was hard to urge them.

After finally waiting for the banquet to start, they forgot to ask Ximen Xiaoyue and sat down to eat.

Ximen Xiaoyue was no longer willing to toast, although Xi Niang kept saying that she would go to toast, but she said she had a headache, Prime Minister Xia knew that she was unhappy, so he said: "If you are not feeling well, then don't go to toast, it's better to sit down , go back to rest after eating, and I will toast."

Ximen Xiaoyue was grateful for his thoughtfulness, but she couldn't help feeling angry, so she just responded casually, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiang."

Prime Minister Xia held her hand under the table and smiled warmly, "We will be husband and wife from now on, and your matter is the most important thing to me."

Ximen Xiaoyue was a little moved, she stared at him intently, and said: "Master Xiang, although I'm not feeling well, toasting is a custom, if I don't want to be afraid of being impolite, I'd better toast the bar first."

Murong Jie was sitting with a group of noble relatives, the nobles of the palace naturally had to exchange pleasantries, Murong Jie drank a few cups in a row before stopping to talk to them, it was considered very rude.

When toasting, it was supposed to be the bride and groom toasting the guests and then collecting red envelopes. Who knows, those princes and ministers brought their daughters to toast Murong Jie.

Not only that, they also brought wine privately, even though it was only five or ten catties of wine jars, there were more than twenty jars piled up there.

These wines are not for drinking now, but for Murong Jie.

Everyone knows that Murong Jie never accepts gifts, only good wine.

He loves good wine, which is something that everyone in Beijing knows.

Murong Jie looked at those wine jars, his eyes glowed, as if he saw the most beautiful things in the world.

Now that everyone hasn't drunk much, he has already had a few glasses. When the ministers brought the wine over, he had a very kind attitude and kept arguing with them. Zan Ren's parents said that he had a gentle temperament, and his smile was so wide that it spread behind the ears.

Zian looked over from a distance, very angry, and said that if someone pestered him, he would go to rescue him, seeing his smile would not know how much he enjoyed, why would he need to rescue him?

Chen Liuliu has always been absent-minded, Xiao Tuo hasn't come yet, but luckily the food and drink are good, she ate very vigorously, and seeing Zian was not in the mood, she asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Zian shook his head, "Very happy."

"Why don't you eat when you're happy? This food is so good." The Chen family has always been thrifty, and the family only has such a rich meal during the Chinese New Year. Of course, it is not bad on weekdays, but it is not so rich.

She raised her head and saw that Xia Wan'er at the same table had been staring at Zian, a little unhappy, "I said, you woman, can you eat well? Why do you keep staring at Zian? She is not a big fat duck leg."

Xia Wan'er withdrew her eyes angrily, she would not talk to Chen Liuliu if it involved her, because you never know what kind of ugly words will come out of her mouth.

Because the evening is the main banquet, although the dishes at noon are exquisite, they are far less luxurious than in the evening. During lunch, the menu is passed up, which is used to retain guests.

After lunch, there was an opera troupe coming in to congratulate Prime Minister on his wedding. The women's relatives loved watching operas most. After eating, they flocked to the garden where the stage was built.

After the banquet was withdrawn, the bride went back to her room, and her natal family naturally had to follow in and give some instructions.

Ximen Xiaoyue told her second uncle and aunt what happened in the main hall, and hearing the people on Jin Guogong's side were outraged, Ximen Second Uncle said coldly: "If my father finds out about this, he will definitely be mad at him. No, once Yuan is named the county lord, she can suppress you, and half of the prime minister's mansion is hers, isn't that a joke? The minister's mansion is half hers? It's a big laugh to spread the word."

"I've heard about Xia Zi'an in the past, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious. If you don't give her some flair, you'll think that we Jin Guogong are easy to bully!" Ximen Xiaoyue's second aunt, Liang Shi, said coldly. said.

Ximen Xiaoyue was angry when she thought of Xia Zian's face, she was clearly unwilling to kneel and kowtow, but pretended to know nothing, and handed her a red envelope as soon as she entered the door.

Thinking of the red envelope, she remembered that she stuffed it into her sleeve pocket, took it out and threw it on the ground, "This is the red envelope she gave me."

Liang Shi paused and said, "My silly girl, she gave you a red envelope and you just threw it in her face, but you still accepted it?"

Ximen Xiaoyue said angrily: "I don't want to accept it either, but the Regent has issued an order, what can I do? Besides, there are so many eyes staring at me, I can't throw it back."

Gritting her teeth, Liang said: "This prime minister is too deceitful. He has already agreed to our terms, but now Xia Zi'an is here to make trouble."

"It has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion," Ximen Xiaoyue subconsciously defended the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Xia Zian made a false promise at first, but later caused trouble. After a while, I just didn't expect it to dare to touch my head."

"Taking advantage of the crowds today, I want to teach her a lesson," Liang said.

Second Uncle Ximen shook his head, "Don't act rashly today. After all, the Prince Regent and Prince Li are both in the mansion. Hearing what Xiaoyue said, both of them are protecting Xia Zian."

Liang's eyes flashed, and there was already a calculation in his heart, "Who told you to be clear?"

Ximen Xiaoyue wanted to persuade Liang Shi not to do anything first, but then she thought of Xia Zian's disgusting face. If the second aunt could teach her a lesson, she would be able to give herself a sigh of relief.

Moreover, the second aunt's temperament has always been domineering and vicious in the mansion, and no one dared to offend her. If she didn't make a move, Xia Zian would definitely suffer.

Thinking of this, she told Liang Shi, "Auntie, just be careful, don't let someone catch you, this Xia Zian is not easy to deal with."

"I'm not easy to deal with." Liang's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth.

She doesn't care if Xia Zian offends Ximen Xiaoyue, but she dares to treat Jin Guogong as if there is no one else. Do you still have dignity in front of your friends?
