Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 53
It wasn’t until this moment that Jiafu realized that what happened to the concubine Liang in the previous life, perhaps the mastermind was not the concubine Zhu who feared sin and committed suicide, but most likely, it was the graceful woman who was looking at her with a smile on the other side.
The glass of wine in her glass was golden, and it shook slightly, as if there were broken gold floating in it, which looked exactly the same as the glass of Mrs. Qin Guogong next to her.
I don’t know what kind of medicine Zhang Fengtong left in this glass of wine. Whatever it was, she knew that she would never drink it.
Mrs. Qin Guogong and others all followed Zhang Fengtong and stood up to congratulate him. The other female guests at the table followed one after another. Jiafu also slowly stood up, looked at Zhang Fengtong, held up the wine bottle, spotted her drinking, and looked away from her for a brief moment. , Brought the wine glass to her mouth, with her wrist slightly bent, and covered by the big sleeve, a glass of wine was poured along her arm and sleeve tube.
Although it is summer, the clothes are not as heavy as winter clothes, but the clothes worn on this occasion have at least three layers inside and outside. They are indispensable. Drinking water flows in and is quickly absorbed by the inner layer and the middle coat. The outer coat is blue. , There was a slight oozing under the sleeves, and Jiafu put down his arms and covered them tightly, and the people beside them didn’t notice it.
After a drink, Zhang Fengtong looked at the empty cup in front of Jiafu, smiled, and took a seat. At this point, the birthday feast officially began.
Jiafu remained silent, and whispered gossip with Mrs. Qin Guogong beside her. From time to time, female guests came here to see Zhang Fengtong alone. Jiafu noticed that Zhang Fengtong would always glance at her direction from time to time when she was busy. She pretended to be unaware.
Gradually, Zhang Fengtong seemed a little uncomfortable. He sent away a lady who had come to flatter him, and winked at the palace man behind him. The palace man understood, came again, and picked up the hip flask. Just like the second time, pouring wine for a table of people again, when it was the turn of the Gaffer Cup, it was still the same method used last time, and it was all captured by Gaffer.
This woman is really too compelling. A cup is not counted. She should think that the medicine is not enough, and she has to do the same, and she wants to drink a second cup of wine by herself.
Jiafu’s heart was angry, and gradually burst into fullness. Seeing Zhang Fengtong holding up the wine glass and making a toast for her mother. When the people at the same table were toasting together, she also picked up the wine glass, but put it down again, pretending to be dizzy and help. Lived.
Mrs. Qin Guogong next to him felt that Jiafu was different and hurried to ask questions.
Gaffer opened his eyes slowly, and apologized: “Just now I felt a fire in my belly, and I was slightly dizzy. People seemed to be dizzy…”
Mrs. Qin Guogong said with concern: “Do you eat alcohol on weekdays?”
Gaffer seemed to be dizzy, covering her face with her hands, and shook her head: “Very rarely…”
Mrs. Qin Guogong laughed: “That’s it, I think you are a little drunk. I often eat wine, and I knew it just after eating it. This wine is indeed a fine wine, and it is more mellow than what I usually eat. It seems that you can’t touch it. liquor.”
Jiafu smiled apologetically and looked at Zhang Fengtong and said, “I’m afraid I will drink it again and be rude on the spot, and it will be bad to make big guys laugh. It’s better to replace wine with tea and wish Mrs. Birthday together…”
There was a ready-made teapot on the table, and Jiafu picked it up by herself, turned around and asked for a new cup from the girl who was standing behind. He poured tea into it by herself, but her hand became soft, and she couldn’t hold the teapot, so she slipped out.
Mrs. Qin Guogong smiled and said, “I’m really drunk! Come, come, I’ll pour it for you, you can drink tea quickly, so that you can sober up.”
Zhang Fengtong looked at Jiafu for a moment, then laughed suddenly, and said, “Ms. Pei does not seem to know how to eat wine, so she only takes a cup and it becomes like this. It’s not good to make you drunk. It’s the same with tea instead of wine, you And eat more vegetables, wait for it to pass, I must wait.” As he raised his glass, and everyone was about to drink, a little **** suddenly came in outside the Shoutang and prolonged his voice and proclaimed: “Long live the Lord. Bring one side of the birthday plaque, two birthday peaches, kneel to welcome you.”
The audience laughed and laughed. Suddenly the palace agent arrived, and immediately calmed down. Mrs. Zhang was walking around the room like a butterfly to encourage the guests to have fun. At this moment, she was overjoyed and hurriedly led people out.
Zhang Fengtong also put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and hurried to the door of the hall. The female guests in the Shoutang, together with all the girls and wives who were standing by, all greeted them with a clatter.
All the people at the table disappeared in an instant, leaving Jiafu alone behind.
Jiafu glanced at the glass of wine in front of her, then glanced at the wine in Zhang Fengtong’s seat that had just been picked up and was put down. His heartbeat was so fierce that he picked it up and quickly walked around the table, and then changed the glass. After calming down, he hurriedly followed, and knelt down with everyone to greet him.
The sent **** was Cui Yinshui, with a smile on his face, and after announcing his will, several eunuchs carried the birthday plaque and birthday peach, and placed them on the birthday table, as if the whole hall was full of glory, Zhang Fengtong and Mrs. Zhang led everyone to their feet. Mrs. Zhang worked hard to Cui Yinshui Road, leaving him for a drink, Cui Yinshui waved his hand, congratulated Mrs. Zhang, and left with the little eunuch.
Mrs. Zhang sent people back, and the guests had returned to their seats again. Compared with the talents, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic. Mrs. Zhang didn’t need to say, she was very proud. Zhang Fengtong smiled at the compliments of the ladies at the table. Raise the wine glass. The wives followed one after another.
Jiafu watched Zhang Fengtong drank the glass of wine, picked up the tea, and took a sip of it herself.
The longevity feast continued. At this time, there was a creak of gongs and drums, and they went out to the longevity hall. After a pool of water, the stage on the opposite side began to sing.
Gaffer always looked like he could not drink much, but apart from this, there was nothing wrong with it.
Zhang Fengtong looked at her from time to time while talking and laughing with the wife who was sitting next to her.
Gaffer knew that she must be very confused at this moment, pretending to be attracted by the play, and the lady of the country by her side looked at the direction of the stage, listened to the play, and whispered.
“The prince is here—”
There was a lively singing on the stage, and a **** entered again, preaching loudly.
The atmosphere in the birthday hall was completely pushed to the climax tonight.
Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, turned her head quickly, and looked at her daughter. Zhang Fengtong looked a little unbelievable at first, stayed there for a while, then beamed with joy, hurriedly got up, and greeted him.
Just like just now, the people in the whole house rose up to greet each other one after another. When Xiao Yintang, who was wearing a bright yellow prince robe, appeared at the gate of the Shoutang, the house was full of female guests, those who attended the ceremony, bowed down, and the actors on stage also stopped and knelt on the stage.
Xiao Yintang smiled, glanced at the people in the hall, and quickly saw Jiafu standing behind Mrs. Qin Guogong, his eyes were fixed on her, and then he said, “I’m exempt. I.” I came here to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday, so I don’t have to be formal.”
In the past when she was still in Wuxi, Mrs. Zhang knew that her daughter was not in Xiao Yintang’s favor. She was celebrating her birthday tonight, and she never thought that the prince would come to celebrate her birthday in person. She was afraid that her daughter would be embarrassed, and she did not meet her halfway. After thinking about this, I never imagined that the prince should give full face so much, how can he not smile?
Before Xiao Yintang finished his salute, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up affectionately.
Zhang Fengtong’s father and several elder brothers also came after hearing the news, so they were all female guests, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time. After Xiao Yintang congratulated his mother-in-law on her birthday, he was invited to another hall to sit in another hall. Intentionally or unconsciously, his gaze glanced at Jia Fu again, and then he left.
First, the emperor bestowed a birthday plaque with a birthday peach, and then the prince personally came over to celebrate the birthday. After the wife was seated again, the compliments to Zhang Fengtong continued.
Zhang Fengtong naturally smiled at first, but gradually, his face seemed a little wrong, his face flushed, as if dizzy, he leaned to the side and held his forehead by himself.
Sitting next to her was Zhu Guogong’s mother. Seeing this, she hurriedly helped.
The ladies at the same table finally realized that she was wrong and stopped talking. The palace man also noticed the prince’s abnormality and hurriedly called Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang left the guests and hurried over. Seeing her daughter’s face flushed, her eyes fixedly looking ahead, she sat motionless, as if she was drunk, was taken aback, hurriedly came up to hold her, and whispered: “Feng Tong, what’s the matter with you?”
Zhang Fengtong did not hear about it, and suddenly turned his head, staring at the direction of the stage.
On the stage is playing the Zou Yinglong of the Hanmenzi Zou Yinglong, the affectionate confession of his unwillingness to his wife. Zhang Fengtong stared for a moment. His eyes opened wider and wider, and his eyes became more confused, and suddenly he sneered.
Mrs. Zhang finally realized that her daughter was wrong, and hurriedly called someone to help her go back to the room, but unexpectedly Zhang Fengtong pushed her away suddenly. Unprepared, he took a few steps back and almost fell.
“Stop, stop all for me! You actors are all singing about what lie to the world? How can there be affectionate princes in the world? All lie!”
Zhang Fengtong pushed Mrs. Zhang away, turned her head and shouted at the actors singing on the stage, her voice full of disgust.
The actors were singing deeply and deeply. When the princess was furious and accusing herself, she was all frightened, stopped in a hurry, and knelt down in a hurry.
The whole Shoutang became quiet for an instant, and everyone turned their heads and looked at Zhang Fengtong, who was suddenly drunk and epileptic, in surprise.
Mrs. Zhang was shocked. I don’t know why her daughter suddenly lost her temper. She hurriedly stepped forward again and whispered in her ears: “Fengtong! What’s the matter with you? Wake up soon!”
Zhang Fengtong’s eyes were red, turning his head to look at Mrs. Zhang, staring at her for a long while, tears suddenly flowed down, and choked up, “Mother, my heart is bitter, don’t you know?”
Mrs. Zhang knew that her daughter should be drunk, and she was ignorant. She turned her head and saw countless gazes cast over her. She held back her shame and smiled reluctantly: “The princess should be drunk and rude. Send her to rest…” He winked at the people around him, held up Zhang Fengtong, and hurriedly wanted to take her out.
Zhang Fengtong struggled hard, screaming constantly, not letting people touch herself, and with a “crash”, several dishes on the table with the sleeves of the Kuan Da Palace rolled up, and the wine jug, fell to the ground and broke into pieces. , I saw her gnashing her teeth, staring at the terrified Zhu Guogong’s mother beside her, and suddenly stretched out her hand, actually pinched her neck, pinched her head and shook her hard, and laughed: “Cao, you have long been Damn it! Do you think you have crawled the prince’s bed several times, the prince just likes you? How dare you be rude in front of me! You idiot, let me tell you, the prince is thinking of Pei Youan’s woman! That surname is Zhen Little vixen! You poor worm, you deserved to be strangled to death by the prince!”
The whole room was shocked, dumbfounded, and when the reaction came over, they looked at Jiafu one after another.
Gaffer’s heart beat fast.
She just exchanged the glass of wine for Zhang Fengtong, and she was indeed irritated by her, but she wanted to use her own way to treat her body, so she just pushed the boat along the water and punished it slightly. Zhang Fengtong would never have thought that he was a man of two generations and knew the secret of that teapot. Even if he thought about it afterwards, he would never think that he had changed the wine. He would only think that the palace man poured the wrong wine.
But Jiafu didn’t expect the medicinal properties of this medicinal liquor to be so terrible. After Zhang Fengtong drank it, he was completely mad.
The huge Shoutang was silent, except for Zhang Fengtong’s hoho sneer and the desperate struggle of the old lady Qin Guogong who was pinched by her neck.
Mrs. Zhang was frightened, and she squeezed away Zhang Fengtong’s hand. Unexpectedly, her hand was unusually strong, and it took a lot of effort to finally remove the old lady who had half-rolled her eyes. As soon as the old lady’s neck was loosened, The man fell to the ground and lost his breath. When the nearby ladies saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward, beating their chests, rubbing their backs and rubbing their backs. Over there, Zhang Fengtong had been trapped by the subordinates and dragged forcibly. She was struggling hard when she quit the Shoutang. Mrs. Zhang was afraid that she would say something indiscriminately. She covered her mouth hard by herself, but she opened her mouth and bit her severely. Mrs. Zhang let out a painful cry and threw her hand away.
“Mother, my heart is bitter, why even you treat me like this–“
Zhang Fengtong’s eyes were red, crying and laughing, like madness. He stretched out his hand and hugged a table leg. The whole table followed her as she was dragged forward, and the table corners rubbed against the ground. When she fell to the ground, the soup splashed, and the ladies screamed, and while she was struggling, all the palace shoes on her feet flew out, where there was still the half grace before.
Whoever is in the mood to drink and eat food again, the full house gathers, persuades, talks and talks, when there is chicken feathers, there is a rush of footsteps at the gate of Shoutang, and everyone looks back and sees the prince and the prince’s concubine. The two older brothers rushed in. When they saw this, their expressions changed drastically. They pushed away from the crowd, and stepped forward. One squeezed Zhang Fengtong’s mouth tightly, the other forcibly broke her arm apart, and quickly dragged them out.
Xiao Yintang’s face was pale, he looked at Jiafu who was standing behind the crowd, and reluctantly said to everyone: “She was drunk, and she was all nonsense just now, and everyone was startled.” After speaking, he hurriedly left.
Zhang Fengtong was taken down, but the shoutang was still in chaos. The old lady who had just been choked by her finally woke up at this moment, and her family rushed to hear the news. Upon seeing this, her face was dumbfounded, and she barely listened to Mrs. Zhang’s apologetic explanation. After a few words, he took the old lady and left.
She couldn’t eat the birthday feast anymore, and Mrs. Zhang was sweating profusely, standing there, her complexion was red and white, and she barely continued to make ends meet for her daughter’s gaffe.
The ladies gradually recovered from the horror they had just received, knowing that the incident tonight was ugly and horrifying, but on the face they pretended to be nonchalant, and followed Mrs. Zhang’s tone of comfort, saying that the crown prince should be the first one. At that time, my heart was exhausted, and I ate a few more glasses tonight, which was a momentary loss.
One after another, people began to say goodbyes, and the Zhang family sent off the guests, but they had long lost their previous spirit, and all of them looked like bewildered and made mistakes.
Gaffer felt a little regretful in her heart, but also a little scared.
If it hadn’t been for precautions, I would definitely drink that glass of wine tonight. If you really drink it, it will be hard to imagine what kind of ugliness you will be.
She couldn’t help shivering.
Someone on her side pulled off her skirt, she turned her head, and saw Madam Meng’s second wink at herself, and she leaned in and said in a low voice, “You’an sent someone in and said that the others are outside, waiting to pick us up, okay. gone.”
Jiafu turned around and saw Madam Xin glance at herself coldly.
Zhang Fengtong was self-inflicted, showing a big ugly, Jiafu’s mood, but also a little bit of shame, under the gaze of those behind him, followed silently out of the Shouting Hall, and came to a hanging flower gate that separates the inner and outer halls. , Seeing Pei Youan standing there, his figure motionless, I couldn’t help but become more anxious.
There was such a big trouble in the Shoutang, he must have known it too.
Zhang Fengtong went mad, and the public said that the prince coveted himself, which was undoubtedly a humiliation to Pei Youan as her husband.
Gaffer passed by him, somewhat afraid to look at his expression, and lowered his head slightly.
Jiafu heard him say to Madam Xin and Madam Meng that he had just returned from the palace, thinking that they had come to the Zhang family for a banquet, and because there was nothing wrong, he came to pick him up.
The tone sounds the same as usual.
Gaffer raised his eyes quietly, hitting the two eyes he cast at him. He didn’t dare to look closely. He quickly lowered his head and went out speechlessly. When he reached the door, he boarded the carriage, Pei Youan also turned on his horse and was about to leave. At that time, Zhang Fengtong’s father hurried out from the gate and shouted, “Master Pei stay!”
Pei Youan turned his head and took a look before dismounting.
Zhangfu led Pei Youan to the gatehouse, no one was around.
“What else is Zhang Lao?” Pei Youan said.
Zhang’s father is well-known and old. Zhang Fengtong is his young daughter, so in the dynasty, everyone is called Zhang Lao respectfully.
Zhang’s father has long lost his usual appearance, his face is embarrassed, and before he can speak, he first salutes Pei Youan deeply, and said ashamed: “The old man is here on behalf of the prince princess to confess the crime to Lord Pei. She was drunk tonight. , Lost heart, full of nonsense, defamation of the prince is not counted, but also offended Master Pei and his wife, it is really caused by the old lady’s laxity of the goddess. Tonight, the old man went into the palace to confess the crime to Long live, and he will never die. Sin! It’s just that Master Pei is here, looking forward to a large number of adults, don’t be offended, the old husband is for the whole family, thank you!
Pei Youan’s tone is polite, but rather cold, and only said: “The crown prince is naturally drunk and talking gibberish. Zhang Lao wants to confess the crime to Long live, it is better to go quickly, it is too late, for fear that the palace gate is closed.”
He repaid Zhang Fulue and turned away.
