spring event night

After Duanyang returned to Beijing, it was unavoidable to entertain relatives, friends and colleagues of similar age.On the other hand, he is an extremely serious person, and he doesn't invite those fan-headed Youer to hold a banquet, which is very boring.Duan Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so he called out a group of small actors he had raised and handed it over to Jiang Shandian to arrange it, so it would be more lively.

Although Duanyang didn't like it, he didn't reject Duanwei's kindness.

In this way, on a sunny day after the snow, many noble children came to the Cheng Palace to have a banquet together.

The banquet was handed over to Jiang Shan, and it was placed in a yard called Biyun Garden, which was clean and bright. There was a pavilion beside the Taihu Stone, and dozens of plum blossoms were planted beside the pavilion, which were in full bloom.

There are more than a dozen seats in the main hall, a charcoal basin incense burner is placed, various fruits and dishes are piled up on the table, and thin magnetic bowls and silver-inlaid cups and chopsticks are placed.A stage has been set up outside the door, the harps and strings have already been played, and a group of small actors have also dressed up.

Duanyang Duanwei was the host, sitting at the head, followed by Duancheng Duanqing on both sides. There was also a handsome young man who sat on an equal footing with Duancheng Duanqing's emperors and grandsons. That was Lu Shang, the son of Princess Zhiyang.

Originally, only the sisters of His Majesty could be named the eldest princess, but Princess Zhiyang was different. She was born in the Yuan Dynasty, the first child of His Majesty, and her husband was a general who made great military exploits, so he made an exception and made her the title of eldest princess. The eldest princess is a sign of dignity.

Jiang Shanduo took a double look at Lu Shang. Lu Shang was not only from a noble family, but also entered Jinyiwei at a young age and became a thousand households. He is very much loved by His Majesty.Duancheng and Duanqing are wooing Lu Shang intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, in comparison, Yun Xiancai should be the closest person to Lu Shang. After all, Princess Zhiyang is the older sister of the former prince. When the former prince was alive, their relationship was not bad.

But times have changed, and there is no need to say these anymore.

Jiang Shan led more than a dozen young children in, carrying red lacquer food boxes, and placed the food and wine on everyone's table.Playing, playing and singing in front, the juggling shows were very lively, and many young children hid outside to watch.

There are charcoal basins everywhere in the house, which are warm, and the cups are exchanged during the banquet, and the aroma of wine is everywhere.Some time ago, there was a severe snowstorm in the north, King Yan was ordered to leave Beijing for disaster relief, and he only came back a few days ago.Hearing that the errand was done beautifully, His Majesty also praised him a few words.So now many people are talking in front of Duanqing to make fun of it.Duancheng looked at Duanqing bitterly, almost gnashing his teeth.The battle for the heir apparent is almost on the table, and many people don't even hide it anymore.

Only Lu Shang's place was deserted, and he didn't pay much attention to talking to him and toasting him.

Jiang Shan stood aside, looking at the hall full of noble young men of good age, he unconsciously thought of Yun Xian.Yun Xian was originally the most brilliant among these people, and he should have had a brilliant life.

In the crowd, Duan Qing raised his head and glanced at Jiang Shan. He was wearing a red woven gold dress, and his face looked more and more like a spring flower.Beside him are two good-looking children, who are very intimate with him.In all fairness, the children of the Tian family are doing well these days, but Duanqing's eyes are frivolous, giving people a bad impression at first sight.

While drinking and talking with the people around him, he looked at Jiang Shan.Seeing Jiang Shan not knowing what he thought of, his eyes softened suddenly.

Duan Qing felt itchy in his heart, he noticed Jiang Shan not for a day or two.Jiang Shan is always polite to others, with a sense of alienation.But his face is very attractive, and it belongs to the kind that gets more interesting the more you look at it.Duanqing is not very old, but after a long time, he fell in love with Jiang Shan's tune at a glance, but he couldn't find the opportunity, so he never got started.

Over there, Jiang Shan was talking to Fukang and asked him to pick a Nanjian meatball, a piece of hibiscus chicken, a piece of crispy bone fish, and a few other side dishes, and put them in food boxes and send them to Qingzhuxuan while they were hot.

Just after explaining, he suddenly heard Duan Qing calling him, Jiang Shan hurriedly walked over to pour Duan Qing wine.Duan Qing smiled at Jiang Shan holding the wine glass: "Butler Jiang has worked hard, I respect you with this glass of wine."

Jiang Shan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, it's all a matter of duty."

He took a glass from the table and drank it.

"Steward Jiang is polite." Duan Qing poured him a glass. In this scene, Jiang Shan didn't like drinking, so he dragged him to drink several glasses.In the end, Jiang Shan couldn't care less, pushed Duanqing's hand and said: "This servant is too strong to drink, I really can't drink any more."

Jiang Shan's face was already a little drunk, Duanqing smiled, and turned to Duanyang and said: "I didn't say that, your butler is really capable, and he handles things properly. Ten in my family are not as good as one of him. .”

Duan Wei's eyebrows twitched, Duan Yang didn't know why, and said: "Steward Jiang is really capable, and he manages everything properly."

"What's the matter!" Duan Wei lazily said: "Slaves are not all in the same shape, they are used to playing tricks, but in fact they are cheating and slacking off, why don't you dare to do it?"

Duan Wei glanced at Jiang Shan, and said impatiently: "I just said that I want to aged Zhuyeqing, what are you doing, why don't you bring it to me?"

Jiang Shan hurriedly said: "The slave will go now."

As he spoke, he hurriedly slipped away from Duan Qing.

Duan Qing's face was a little ugly, Duan Wei came down from the top, and said, "Hey, why is your face so ugly? Is it because I interrupted you and Steward Jiang's drinking?"

Duanqing twitched the corner of his mouth.

Duan Wei picked up the wine glass to pour Duanqing, and said: "What's so annoying about this, I will come to accompany you in person."

Duanqing was annoyed when he hurriedly poured two cups.But he made a playful look, and everyone laughed along with him.

Lu Shang watched the farce with cold eyes, found a gap, and left the table.

Jiang Shanfang was given several glasses of wine, and he drank in a hurry, which inevitably made him feel embarrassed.When I went outside and was blown by cold water, I felt a lot more awake.He dusted off his clothes, feeling that everything was wrong.

Jiang Shan frowned and walked to his yard, walked to the lake, and sat on a rock to rest.Fukang just came back over there. When he saw Jiang Shan, he said, "The things have been delivered. Mr. Yun asked me to thank you and asked when you will finish here."

"There is still time." Jiang Shan said, "Tell him not to wait for me."

Fukang responded and went.

There was no one around, the lake was covered with ice, someone threw some stones into it, and the remnants of the lotus that hadn’t been pulled out in time also froze on the surface of the lake. branches and leaves.

A gust of cold wind blew past, Jiang Shan shivered, stood up belatedly and walked back.

He had only taken two steps when a man suddenly ran out of the rockery, rushed over like a hungry tiger, hugged Jiang Shan, pressed him on the rock and kissed him carelessly.Jiang Shan was taken aback, but upon closer inspection it was Duanqing.He didn't know when he came out of the table and blocked Jiang Shan here.

While hugging Jiang Shan, he said something nonsense about my prosperity and wealth.

Jiang Shan struggled, and pushed Duanqing away with great force, pushing him to the ground.Duanqing didn't know whether he was drunk or what, he thumped on the ground twice but didn't get up, so he stopped moving.

Jiang Shan didn't pay attention to him, and hurriedly ran away from the rockery, wiping his cheek vigorously while walking.After walking a few steps, he heard movement behind him. He looked back and saw a person coming out of the rockery.

That was Lu Shang. He was standing in the snow cave on the rockery, keeping Duanqing and Jiang Shan's incident in his eyes, but he didn't do anything, just watched.

Jiang Shan felt apprehensive, but Lu Shang glanced at Duan Qing who was lying on the ground, and walked in another direction.

He didn't seem to care about Jiang Shan's affairs.

Jiang Shan's heart was pounding, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried away.

But Lu Shang, he was walking around in the mansion, and he met a maid on the way. The maid was very brightly dressed, and he felt that this place was already the inner courtyard.

He called the servant girl and said: "I am a guest of your son, I lost my way just now, do you know how to get back?"

The servant girl is a servant girl in the inner courtyard, and she only works in the inner courtyard all day long, so of course she doesn't know how to get back.She shook her head in confusion.

Lu Shang asked again: "What about Steward Jiang? Where is he? You can ask him to take me back."

The servant girl showed Lu Shang the way to the West Courtyard, and said, "Steward Jiang lives in the West Courtyard. Even if he doesn't stay in the house at the moment, his two apprentices are always there. You look for them and ask them to take you to find Jiang. Butler."

Lu Shang nodded, and asked again: "I don't know who else lives in the West Courtyard? Will I bump into some family member if I go there?"

The servant girl thought for a while and said, "No, the concubines have all moved to the south courtyard, and there is probably no one living in the west courtyard."

Lu Shang's eyes flickered, "Why did you move the side concubines to the south courtyard?"

The maid shook her head and looked at Lu Shang with some doubts. This question is really too strange.

But Lu Shang didn't care, even if the maid found it strange, so what, she was just an insignificant maid.

Lu Shang walked towards the west courtyard, trying to avoid people along the way, and if he couldn't avoid it, he still used that excuse, so he really touched the west courtyard.Lu Shang slowly thought about the whole terrain in his mind, just after passing through a hanging flower gate, he saw Jiang Shan walking towards him.Lu Shang's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Lu Shang, Jiang Shan also stopped, "You... why are you here?"

This place was not far from Qingzhuxuan, Jiang Shan unconsciously became vigilant, like a sensitive cat, as if there was some treasure behind him.

Lu Shang easily caught the defense in Jiang Shan's eyes. He squinted his eyes, keenly aware that there was a secret in this Butler Jiang.

"Have you lost your way?" Jiang Shan said, "I'll take you back."

Lu Shang didn't answer, but asked, "Who lives in the west courtyard?"

Jiang Shan's eyebrows twitched, and he said: "Young Master, it's not appropriate to ask about other people's back houses."

Lu Shang became more and more sure of his thoughts. Just as he was about to say something, Fukang ran over in a hurry behind him.

"Master...Master...it's not good! Prince Yan's son, he's dead!"
