Chapter 229, two women fight
Zeng Yuwei saw that her family was so disrespectful, and she didn't want to make fun of herself, so she quickly took her two daughters back to the Zeng family stand.
The daughter of the Zeng family is pregnant with the dragon seed, and the Zeng family also got a viewing room, but it is near the end and the area is not large. Except for Mrs. Zeng who is sitting, everyone else can only stand.
Madam Zeng frowned when she saw Zeng Yuwei come back with a bad complexion.
Since Shi Zheng and his family were brought back to the Shi family, the Shi family not only became estranged from their son-in-law, but also became more and more distant from the Zeng family.
Especially after the matchmaking incident with Shi Fuyin, the Shi family will not post a post to the Zeng family when they hold a banquet.
She was very upset about this.
Therefore, when she knew that her son-in-law was going to bring the Li family to Beijing, she didn't stop her, she just wanted to disgust the Shi family.
But she never expected that the Shi family would let go so simply, that they would stop interacting with their son-in-law.
Wuchang Bo Mansion is the founder of the country. Although it has declined, it still has some foundations. Now there are signs of revival. If such in-laws cut off their relationship, it will be a big loss not only to the daughter and son-in-law, but also to the Zeng family.
Especially thinking of the Li family depicted by her daughter, Mrs. Zeng couldn't help rubbing her forehead with her hand.
She was really afraid that Li's family would come to Beijing. Instead of being disgusted by Shi's family, she harmed her daughter's family.
"Yuwei."
Madam Zeng called Zeng Yuwei to her side, and ordered in a low voice: "The Li family, you send some food and clothing over there every now and then, and just send someone to take care of them attentively. You and a few children don't go there."
Zeng Yuwei nodded. In fact, she didn't want to have too much contact with the Li family even if she didn't need her mother's orders.
Too bad!
The Li family is really too shameful. To put it bluntly, they are worse than the servants in her village.
When she thought that her husband came from such a family, she felt an unspeakable sense of shame.
She actually married such a family!
Also, she was really curious, Shi Zhenghe was raised by the Li family, why didn't their family inherit the petty spirit of the Li family at all?
Looking at the room of Shi's family, and seeing many people on the left and right going to greet Mrs. Shi and others, she really regretted encouraging Xianggong to bring Li's family to Beijing.
Shi Fuxin was not influenced by Zeng Yuwei's mother and daughter. After watching the guards warming up on the ice rink, she began to look at everyone in the stands.
The stands are distributed in an inverted concave shape. The viewing room in the north is large and exquisite. Almost all the people sitting in it are relatives of the emperor. The viewing rooms on the left and right are relatively simple and small. The more you lose your Sacred Heart.
Looking from the seat, you can see that those officials are now in power.
Shi Fuxin looked at each one with great interest, and suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the ice rink. Looking for the sound, it turned out that it was Chu Yao, Dongfang Changqing, Wei Yichen, and Xiao Ziqing.
"Did the four of them make an appointment to appear together?"
Shi Fuxin looked at it with piercing eyes, and sighed in her heart, what a beauty!
"The four beauties of the capital. It's rare to see them appearing at the same time."
"Sister, among the four of them, who is the prettiest?"
Shi Fuxin asked for a long time, but did not hear Shi Fuyin's response. Turning her head, she saw Shi Fuyin staring at the entrance of the ice rink without blinking.
Haha, her sister also likes to see beautiful men.
"Sister, let me ask you something." Shi Fuxin smiled and bumped Shi Fuyin with her elbow.
Shi Fuyin came back to her senses, looked at her younger sister's playful smile, and felt a little helpless: "They all look good."
Shi Fuxin chased after her: "Which one is the most beautiful? Or, which one do you like the most?"
Shi Fuyin glanced at her sister, then turned to talk to the Shi sisters.
Shi Fuxin: "."
I can't take a joke, but I'm just asking whose face I like more.
Shi Fuxin shifted her gaze back to Jingcheng Simei, looked at this, then that, and finally her gaze fell on Chu Yao.
The other three people are all serious, but that guy is a ruffian
"The third son Yao is nineteen, right?"
"Seems to be."
"Since Dongfang Yunrong married the sixth prince, I haven't heard that the third son Yao has proposed marriage to any girl. Is this heartbroken?"
"The third son Yao will never marry again, right?"
"How is it possible, even if he doesn't want to marry, King Rong and Princess Wang will arrange for him."
"Hey, speaking of it, the third son Yao is quite pitiful. He proposed to marry Dongfang Yunrong in such a grand manner at the beginning. I never thought that Dongfang Yunrong would marry the sixth prince in the end."
"is not that right."
"The third son Yao must have loved Dongfang Yunrong so much, otherwise he wouldn't be so depressed."
Depression?
Listening to the conversations of the girls in the room next door, Shi Fuxin carefully looked at Chu Yao's expression, where is this person depressed?
But the failure to marry Dongfang Yunrong probably frustrates him.
"clang, clang, clang~"
Several drums sounded, the emperor's chariot arrived, and everyone stood up.
At this moment, the entire ice rink stopped all noise, and everyone silently watched the emperor's guard of honor.
Surrounded by imperial guards and imperial guards, the emperor got off the chariot and walked towards the stands, followed by the queen and other concubines as well as the princes and princesses.
Shi Fuxin glanced over the crowd and landed on the First Prince.
The cheap apprentice looked sickly pale, and against the backdrop of the ruddy prince and others, he looked a little weak.
"It looks like a disguise!"
If she hadn't known that the First Prince's health had recovered, she would have been almost deceived just by looking at it.
Also, the people who hang out in the palace are not human beings. If they don't pretend to be decent, they will be easily exposed.
Not long after, a group of the emperor arrived in front of the stands.
Just as the emperor and the others stared at the stage, Shi Fuxin's complexion suddenly changed.
In the crowd, someone kicked a piece of ice to the First Prince's feet. The First Prince didn't pay attention, and stepped on the ice, his body slipped forward immediately.
What's terrible is that the concubines are walking ahead of him.
Just when the first prince couldn't control his body and pressed towards the concubine, at the very moment, a steady and strong arm supported him.
"Prince, be careful!"
Shi Dingxuan held the eldest prince firmly.
The first prince still had a terrified look on his face, he nodded gratefully towards Shi Dingxuan, calmed down, and continued walking to the stands.
Since the pause was not long, it did not affect the pace of others.
The emperor glanced back and didn't ask anything. Although the others noticed something strange, everyone was watching at the moment and didn't say anything.
"Who arranged here, there are ice cubes?!"
When the emperor took his seat, Shi Dinghao, who was beside him, muttered in a low voice.
The crown prince and several other princes heard this from a close distance, looked at Shi Dinghao, and then at Shi Dingxuan who was guarding under the stands, their expressions were a little unclear.
Shi Goro stopped him in time, and Shi Jiulang helped him explain in front of his father. If he didn't know that the two of them didn't join him, he would have thought they were his.
Seeing that the eldest prince was seated safely, Shi Fuxin's heart sank back.
If the eldest prince threw himself on the emperor's concubine in public, the scene would be ugly. Whether it was intentional or not, it would definitely make the emperor feel uncomfortable.
Even if you didn't jump on the concubine, it would be an extremely disgraceful thing to fall on such an occasion.
Shi Fuxin glanced at the guard who kicked the ice out, and silently recorded his appearance.
The life of a cheap apprentice is really not human, there are palace fights every day, if you are not careful, you will easily be fooled by others.
Immediately, everyone sat down again under the emperor's signal, and the ice rink resumed its hustle and bustle.
As soon as the emperor arrived, Bingxi officially started.
The first thing to start is to walk on skates.
Thousands of guards were running on the ice rink at the same time, doing various uniform movements, the scene was very spectacular.
In the Shi family's watching room, all the juniors of the Shi family stood up one after another, stretched their necks and looked at Shi Dingxuan on the ice rink, cheering from time to time, with pride on their faces.
The elders of the time also had a look of pride on their faces. Listening to the various boastings of the neighbors, the smiles on their faces never stopped.
Promising children and grandchildren are the confidence for the prosperity of the family.
After the spectacular skates, it was speed skating, and Shi Dingxuan also participated.
"Can Brother Wu take the first place?"
"Sure."
"I heard that the top three will be personally rewarded by the emperor."
The girl from the Shi family watched nervously, and when she saw Shi Dingxuan rushing ahead of everyone on the ice rink, they all showed bright smiles.
"Fifth brother is the best!"
Speed skating, Shi Dingxuan won the first place, walked to the imperial platform with the second and third place, and received the emperor's reward.
When the Shi family looked at it, Shi Fuyin stretched her neck and looked up at the imperial platform: "What reward did Fifth Brother get?" The imperial platform was too far away to see clearly.
Shi Fuxin: "A dagger inlaid with rubies."
Shi Fuyin turned to look at her sister: "Your eyesight is really good."
Shi Fuxin smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhao brought Zhao Yuyan over.
When the old lady saw her, she quickly got up with her daughters-in-law to greet her.
The two sides exchanged greetings and greetings for a while, then sat down and chatted.
Zhao Yuyan was acquainted with Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin, and sat directly among the Shi family sisters.
Shi Fuxin was a little surprised that Mrs. Zhao would take the initiative to bring Zhao Yuyan to their side. You must know that the Zhao family father and son are all powerful people, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor. There are people who want to make friends with the Zhao family.
"Sister Zhao, is Aunt Zhao here for something?"
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Zhao Yuyan's face: "Can't you come here if you have nothing to do?"
Shi Fuxin looked at Nahan, and said with a smile: "Of course not, come here, we are too happy."
Before, when meeting in public, Zhao Yuyan usually only talked to Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin, but this time, she even joked with the Shi family sisters from time to time.
Shi Fuxin looked at Zhao Yuyan, and then at Mrs. Zhao who was chatting lively with the women of the Shi family.
Soon, Shi Fuxin's prediction came true.
After Shi Dingxuan received the emperor's reward, he came to Shi's house with a dagger to look at the room.
When Mrs. Zhao saw Shi Dingxuan, she continued to praise Shi Dingxuan, and asked Zhao Yuyan to come out to greet Shi Dingxuan.
When Zhao Yuyan greeted Shi Dingxuan, she was no longer as generous as before, but lowered her head shyly.
Looking at this scene, Shi Fuxin seems to know why Mrs. Zhao took the initiative to befriend the Shi family.
Zhao Yuyan and her brother
"This Mingtai ice rink has two ice rinks, one big and one small. Now we can see that this ice rink is big, and there is a small ice rink behind it."
"Dingxuan, you are good at ice paddling, and your younger sister Yuyan wants to learn, how can you teach her?"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Dingxuan was stunned, and Shi's family members were also a little surprised.
Old Madam Shi looked at Shi Dingxuan and Zhao Yuyan, smiled and said nothing.
Madam Zhao found that she was speaking too bluntly, and immediately looked at Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin: "Sister Yin and Sister Xin, you should go together, Yuyan can learn faster with you here."
Shi Fuyin also understood Mrs. Zhao's meaning, seeing her brother was still standing there stupidly, in order to avoid making the scene ugly, she immediately stepped forward with a smile and took Zhao Yuyan's arm: "Okay, it just so happens that sister Xin and I both I want to learn to skate."
"skate?"
"Sister Yin, Sister Xin, are you going skating? Take me with you, okay?"
Xiahou walked into the Shi family's viewing room with a smile on his face. The generous Chaoshi family and Mrs. Zhao greeted him, and then walked to Shi Dingxuan.
"Brother Dingxuan, you looked so majestic on the ice rink just now. The ancestor didn't come today. When I go back, I must tell him well."
"Are you going to take Sister Xin and Sister Yin to skate? I'm going too. It just so happens that I'm not very good at skating, so you have to teach me. Not to mention galloping on the ice rink like you, at least you have to I have seven or eight points of your style."
Well.
Xiahou Huanyan's sudden arrival made Shi Dingxuan even more headache when he didn't know what to do.
If he refused, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for the two girls?
Shi Fuxin looked at her brother who looked embarrassed and wanted to refuse, and wanted to laugh, so she couldn't help but walked over: "Brother, do you have time to teach us, don't you need to be an errand?"
Shi Dingxuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he bowed to Mrs. Zhao apologetically: "Aunt Zhao, I have to go back to work and I can't teach Miss Zhao to skate."
Mrs. Zhao glanced at Xiahou Huanyan, Chen Yaojin who appeared suddenly, and immediately smiled and said, "It's important to be on duty."
Shi Dingxuan looked at Xiahou Huanyan again, and before he could speak, Xiahou Huanyan smiled and said: "It's okay Brother Dingxuan, I can't teach you this time, just teach me next time you go to my house."
Hearing Xiahou Huanyan's familiar and friendly tone, Shi Dingxuan was a little embarrassed, didn't say anything, smiled apologetically at everyone, and left quickly.
Looking at the fleeing brother, Shi Fuxin put her hand to her mouth and snickered, seeing her sister staring at her, she quickly put her hand down again.
"Huan Yan, sit here."
Shi Fuyin pulled Xiahou Huanyan to sit among the girls.
After Xiahou Huanyan sat down, she first talked with the Shi family sisters for a while, and then looked at Zhao Yuyan with a smile: "Miss Zhao looks really good-looking."
Zhao Yuyan smiled back: "It can't compare to Miss Xiahou's beauty."
Xiahou Huanyan raised her temples: "Ms. Zhao is too self-deprecating. By the way, Ms. Zhao wants to learn how to skate. Why didn't she ask her brother to teach her? Why did you come to Dingxuan?"
Zhao Yuyan looked at Xiahou Huanyan: "Because Fifth Brother Shi is better at skating."
Xia Houhuan agreed with a face, "Brother Dingxuan is really good at skating." As he said that, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Unfortunately, he is a busy man, and he disappointed Miss Zhao."
Zhao Yuyan: "Isn't Miss Xiahou also disappointed?"
Xiahou Huanyan raised her chin: "I'm not disappointed, anyway, brother Dingxuan often visits my house, and there are many opportunities for him to teach me how to skate."
Zhao Yuyan also said: "Miss Xiahou didn't remind me, I would have forgotten, Shi Wuge also often visits my house."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin looked at each other in dismay.
What a strong smell of gunpowder!
