The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

With nothing to do at night, Yuan Cuixiao inadvertently caught a glimpse of Miss Meow's long hair, which was already quite rock-and-roll style, so she called Xia Chan to fetch the hair rope, and the master and servant gathered in the porch to braid the cat's hair. .Just when there was a commotion, Chunliu came over with a smile and said, "Little lady, the steward of the apse invites you to the banquet. Stop teasing the cat and let the servant girl help you change your clothes."

Yuan Cuixiao was stunned, this Chunliu was always cold-hearted, but since returning from visiting relatives yesterday, her attitude towards her was obviously much warmer than before, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Xia Chan clicked her tongue: "Little lady, I'm going to a banquet again."

Chunliu glared at her reproachfully: "It's becoming more and more unruly."

Our accident physique is indeed not suitable for attending these occasions... Yuan Cuixiao said with a bitter face: "Chunliu, go and tell the steward for me, I have a stomachache, so I won't go."

"This... I'm afraid it won't work." Chunliu looked at her worriedly and said, "Before the steward came, the prince's attendant also came to send a message, telling the young lady to go there."

"Alas." Yuan Cuixiao sighed resignedly, went into the room to freshen up and change clothes, and was the last one to arrive at the apse lingeringly.

Although the banquet has not yet officially started, the singing and dancing of the actors has already begun.Yuan Cuixiao was seated under the guidance of his attendants, looking around, he was still in the same group at the luncheon a few days ago, and he was still at the bottom of the table.To the west are Yan Chasan, Jin Hui, Bai Yutang, and Gongsun Ce; to the east is Ding Zhaohui, but Jin Mudan and Shen Zhongyuan are seated in reverse.Looking up at Zhao Jue, with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but "thump" in her heart: What the hell is this fake father planning... Then she looked at Shen Zhongyuan, who looked calm beside her, and immediately calmed down again a little.

After dancing to a song, Zhao Jue saw that everyone was already there, raised his glass and said, "Come, come, the wine is in the cup. Last time I didn't enjoy myself to the fullest, everyone will return home with a good drink tonight."

Yuan Cuixiao only thought that the pot was still filled with sherbet, she poured out a cup and drank it, only to find out that the dining room prepared hawthorn cheese for her, and it was sugar-free, so sour that she wanted to die.He coughed a few times with distorted facial features, which attracted several eyes from the banquet, and then swept towards her.

Zhao Jue said at the right time: "The actors in the house have performed a new sword dance. Please take a look if there is anything new." Then, he clapped his hands and called in two actresses, one holding the piano and the other holding a sword, and saluted politely. Step into the arena.

The actress playing the piano sat on the floor, laying the Yaoqin across her knees, and flicking her bare hands, a string of clear spring-like music slowly flowed out from her fingertips.The female actress holding the sword moved in response to the sound, her body was like fluttering catkins, her wide sleeves were relaxed, and a long sword in her palm, the cold light flowed, sometimes it spit out letters like a snake, sometimes it hit the sky like an eagle, and it was a combination of strength and softness, looking forward to look beautiful.

Yuan Cuixiao was a little startled: Isn't this the same piece as the "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" that the Master played that day...

Zhao Jue seemed to be in high spirits. He struck the chopsticks and chanted to the sound of the zither: "The phoenix is ​​soaring, looking for the phoenix from all over the world. The helpless beauty is not on the east wall. I will use the qin to express my heartfelt words. When will I see Xu Xi?" , soothe my hesitation."

Yuan Cuixiao suddenly realized, and turned to look at Shen Zhongyuan, their eyes met, and Shen Zhongyuan's gaze moved away unnaturally.She didn't want to let go of this narrow opportunity, so she brought up the flagon in front of her case, and said to Shen Zhongyuan: "Master, the student offers you a toast."

Shen Zhongyuan pushed the wine cup: "Thank you."

Yuan Cuixiao filled it up for him with a light smile, then symbolically poured a few drops into her own cup, raised her hand and said, "Master, please."

"Hello..." Shen Zhongyuan knew he had been tricked, and couldn't hold back a low cough.

As the sound of the zither faded away, Yan Chasan took the lead in clapping his hands and said, "What a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix". The sound of the zither and the dancing posture are all rare."

Zhao Jue shook out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve with a sneer, ordered his attendant to put it on a tray, brought it to Jin Hui, and said, "It's not uncommon for a phoenix to seek a phoenix, but it's rare for a phoenix to beg for a phoenix. My lord, what do you think?" ?”

Jin Hui's expression froze, he quickly picked up the handkerchief and took a closer look, only to see that the handwriting on it was beautiful and embroidered with fine workmanship, which looked like his own daughter's handwriting. The meaning of Yunyu's price, no wonder the king of Xiangyang would speak out and ridicule him.Thinking about coming to today's banquet, it was also set up by him to avenge his impeachment and deliberately humiliate himself in front of everyone.Thinking of this, I couldn't help the blood rushing straight to the top of my head, my eyes were dizzy, and the hands holding the handkerchief couldn't stop shaking.

Yan Chasan, who was at the side, saw that his complexion was different, and asked with concern: "Master Jin is not feeling well? Do you want to leave the table and take a rest?"

Zhao Jue said with a cheerful expression: "Don't suffer if you feel uncomfortable, why don't you call a doctor over here?"

"No need." Jin Hui gritted his teeth and responded stubbornly, "Dare to ask the prince, where did you get this Shipa?"

At this time, Jin Mudan didn't know about this matter, and she had a great relationship with her, she just looked at her father with a worried expression.Behind her, Jiahui didn't dare to utter a word, she clung to the back of the chair tightly, her legs shaking like chaff.

Zhao Jue glanced over the two of them, and fell back on Jin Hui in satisfaction. He sighed on purpose, "I didn't want to say anything, but since Mr. Jin insisted on listening, I will reluctantly tell you. This Fang Jinpa is the The maid in the palace picked it up yesterday among the camellia bushes in the back garden."

Camellia bushes? !Yuan Cuixiao was secretly taken aback: I just went to pinch flowers with Jin Mudan yesterday, maybe I ran into some demon moth... Thinking of this, I can't help but turn around and look behind me, Chunliu and Xiachan are right Meeting her inquiring gaze, she shook her head solemnly.

Yuan Cuixiao and Jin Mudan are both in Nahan, but Jiahui is killed by lightning.She finally understood when and where she lost Shipa, but now she has involved both the master and the young lady, she was furious for a while, her eyes were thrust up, and she fainted.

Jin Mudan heard the movement, covered her mouth and said in panic, "Jiahui! What's wrong with you?!"

Jin Hui knew the whereabouts of her daughter yesterday, and as soon as the king of Xiangyang spoke, Jia Hui suddenly fainted again, and she even guessed that Ding Shipa was the one who did it.Before that, he always felt that the relationship between Mudan and the second child of Ding's family was all about love, and nothing more than courtesy, there was nothing to disturb.Never thought that one day her daughter would disregard her reserve and do such despicable things that humiliate her family.Feeling angry, he threw the tray and Shipa over together, and said angrily: "Little bitch! You are so brave!"

Jin Mudan was originally a lady of great family who strictly abided by etiquette. Seeing her father being furious, and swearing at each other regardless of the occasion and the reason, she was already ashamed and angry.She cried and fell to the ground, reached for the kerchief that caused trouble, picked it up and looked at it, she couldn't help being frightened out of her wits, shaking her head and weeping: "My daughter's embroidered handkerchief... how come, how come..."

She originally wanted to talk about her embroidered handkerchief, how could someone inscribe two lines of "Book of Songs" on it.To Jin Hui's ears, it was tantamount to admitting that this poem was made by her, and the last ray of hope and reason left had disappeared, and she rushed out of the case angrily.

Due to the change at the banquet, the two female performers had no time to leave the stage, and at the moment they were standing at one side helplessly, their backs were facing Jin Hui, but they happened to block his way.

Jin Hui was really angry, and he didn't care about the defense between men and women, so he pushed the actress who danced the sword back, only to hear a "clang" sound, the long sword fell to the ground, he picked it up, held the sword and pointed at it. The crying peony will come over.

Seeing this, Ding Zhaohui was in a hurry, turned around and jumped out, stretched out two fingers, grabbed the tip of the sword, so as to stop the momentum of the long sword from falling.

Jin Hui's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "Get out of the way! I must kill this little bitch today!"

Jin Mudan couldn't argue, seeing her father treating her like this, she couldn't help being wronged and chilled, she fell on the ground and cried into a ball.

Due to Jin Hui's status, Ding Zhaohui stopped his attack, but it was inconvenient to seize his sword, so he could only persuade him with good words: "Jin Shishu, put down your sword now, and don't act impulsively."

At that time, Yan Chasan, Bai Yutang, and Gongsun Ce, because they were colleagues with Jin Hui, it was inconvenient to meddle in other people's family affairs.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Juele continued to fan the flames: "Mr. Ding really cares about beauty."

Hearing this, Jin Hui was very annoyed, he felt a cloud of evil fire running wildly in his chest, a breath of depression couldn't return to his dantian, he yelled "Ai Ya", and he opened his mouth to spurt out a large amount of blood.

Jin Mudan cried, "Daddy!"

Shen Zhongyuan couldn't bear it, helped the case to get up, hurried two steps forward, supported Jin Hui and said: "Lord Jin rests his anger for a while, please listen to the next sentence." He said, pointing to Jiahui who was unconscious on the ground, "The maid just fainted strangely, there may be a misunderstanding on this matter. My lord, don't hurt the bond of flesh and blood just because of a moment of anger."

Zhao Jue looked at Shen Zhongyuan coldly, and said in a serious tone: "You really live up to the name of little Zhuge."

Shen Zhongyuan couldn't make a sound anymore, he took the long sword from Jin Hui's hand, handed it back to the actress, and stepped aside.

After Yuan Cuixiao thought about it, she finally understood: the embroidered handkerchief that caused the incident should be a peony, but it fell into the hands of someone else at some point, and for some unknown reason, this person wrote some outrageous inscriptions on it. words.It happened to be picked up by Zhao Jue's people, and Zhao Jue knew about it, so he took the opportunity to play this "Hongmen Banquet". He first mentioned "Huang Qiufeng", which presumably meant that Peony was chasing after Ding Zhaohui He made a special trip to attack during the banquet, provoking Jin Hui, an old antique, into a rage, to vent his personal anger.Poor Mudan, a timid person, was frightened and humiliated for no reason.

At this time, when Shen Zhongyuan mentioned Jiahui again, she pondered for a while: Yesterday she and Mudan went to enjoy the flowers in the back garden, and the two of them stayed near the swing frame from the beginning to the end. They had never been to the camellia bushes, but Jiahui was always there When pinching flowers, most of the embroidered handkerchiefs fall from his body.She is Peony's close maid, so getting the embroidery from her own little lady is not as good as picking something out of her bag?It is said that she and Mudan are like sisters, and they intentionally entrap her, but I am afraid that she can't.Dare to feel that this girl and matchmaker possessed her body, accidentally slipped, and did Jin Mudan a disservice.

After thinking through the whole thing, Yuan Cuixiao secretly sighed: Alas, this fake father is too sinister...

She picked up the hawthorn cheese on the table, and took a sip. The sour and refreshing taste spread all over the tip of her tongue. In an instant, she fell in love with this taste.Looking around at the people at the banquet, he put down his cup and said loudly, "What's the big deal? A group of people are going to die. I wrote that veil."
