Chapter 431
Mrs. Du is a middle-aged woman with a rather plump figure. Looking at her domineering posture, she looks like a guy who is not easy to mess with.
Mrs. Du was accompanied by her two daughters. These two daughters were as beautiful as flowers. The most important thing was that compared with Mrs. Du, they were pretty. At least they had graceful figures. Unlike Mrs. Du, a
One person can take up space for two people.
"Ouch! Everyone, please sit down, please sit down."
Mrs. Du also held a baby in her arms. The baby was wrapped in a red cloth mattress. Mrs. Du's face was also glowing, and she carefully protected the baby in her arms.
Mr. Du stood beside Mrs. Du, also beaming with joy.
Li Yuezhu looked at this huge splendid scene and couldn't help but admire in his heart. It was indeed a powerful family. Even though it was slowly coming to an end, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse.
Li Yuezhu stood next to Lin Xinghuai. Because they were from a merchant family, the two of them stood at the back, while his brother and the others sat at the front.
As expected, there were many officials and officials at today's banquet, as well as many young ladies who had not yet left the government, and even many young men came.
Li Yuezhu took a look, good guy, everything that is supposed to come has really come.
Li Yingcai, the governor's son, Li Yuezhu has not seen him for a long time. I heard that after failing the exam, governor Li Jinzhong kept him at home to study. If it hadn't been for this banquet, we don't know when we would see him again.
Lin Ping, who had not been seen even during the Chinese New Year, was also standing among them.
After careful observation, not only them but the eighth princess also came to this family banquet.
In addition to her, brothers Zhao Wenwu and Wei Rulan also came, and Chen Wencheng, the sixth brother of the Chen family, was also present.
"The party this time is very big!"
Li Yuezhu secretly said to Lin Xinghuai next to him.
Lin Xinghuai could no longer stand nearby. If it weren't for the presence of these big shots, Lin Xinghuai would have gone to play with his friend Zhao Wenwu.
"You may not know that although this old lady is over eighty years old, as the only concubine left by the late emperor, His Majesty the Emperor still values her very much."
"So sometimes this old lady can't play a decisive role, but the main thing is that the emperor will think carefully about what this old lady says. Even if he doesn't agree in the end, the emperor will have his own considerations. At least
It will not be ignored.”
Li Yuezhu and Lin Xinghuai were whispering from here, but Zhang De, who was sitting next to them, was staring at them without blinking.
"In addition, although Mr. Du's official rank is not high, he has a glorious ancestor, and all the people he invites are high-ranking officials. Even if it is because of his ancestor's face, everyone who can come is here. In addition,
The Eighth Princess is here. Everyone knows that this Eighth Princess has not yet been married to anyone, and the Emperor loves her the most. If anyone can get her favor, it will definitely be a blessing for the ancestors."
Lin Xinghuai explained to Li Yuezhu very carefully. Lin Lin always said more than a dozen points. Li Yuezhu was dazzled by what he heard. Lin Xinghuai had just finished his analysis, and things started to get lively in front of him. It turned out that it was the little baby who had started to catch weeks.
The Du family has always been a single generation. It took a lot of effort to have such a son. He needs to be dignified in everything he does.
I saw some traditional objects placed in front of the child, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, books, seals, steamed buns, swords, account books, flowers, jewelry. It can be said that everything is available, except this
What is the child going to catch?
Because catching Zhou is a lively event, everyone present gathered around.
It was also the first time for Li Yuezhu to see such a wealthy family seize the opportunity. Of course, she didn't want to miss it. Because she was small, she quickly squeezed to the front.
I originally thought it would be crowded in front, but I didn't expect the space to be quite spacious.
A tough-looking boy is lying on the red cloth, and the things that are not on it are also placed very carefully.
I saw that on the red cloth and silk, placed closer to the child, were pens, inks, paper and inkstones, seals, coins, books, and swords.
A little further away are flowers, abacus, account books, jewelry, steamed buns and other odds and ends.
When Li Yuezhu saw this, he understood clearly. It seemed that they had done this on purpose, placing the frivolous and useless things farther away so that the child would have a hard time holding them, so the chance of picking them would be smaller.
"Hey, don't squeeze."
Someone pushed him from behind. Li Yuezhu was small, so he staggered due to the push. He almost fell down but was caught by someone.
Li Yuezhu didn't expect that the people behind her would be so enthusiastic. She just wanted to thank the person next to her who supported her, but she swallowed her words of thanks after seeing the other person's cold face.
Li Yuezhu never expected that the person holding him up would be Zhang De.
When I met Zhang De this time, he was even more mysterious and unpredictable than before.
Originally, I could still see at least a little bit of his temperament, at least his emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. But now, although he is still sinister, there is no joy or sorrow on his face. Although he still looks creepy, it is
I can't detect any other information about him.
At least Li Yuezhu was so shocked that she broke into a cold sweat when she saw his face.
"Why, aren't you going to thank me?"
Li Yuezhu didn't expect that Zhang De would take the initiative to speak, and quickly tried to free his arm from being held. Just as he was about to say thank you, he saw the little face next to him that was even gloomier than Zhang's.
When he saw Chen Linglong, Li Yuezhu was frightened. Chen Linglong, who was originally just a bit petty, had learned this expression from this man.
Zhang De soon discovered what was strange about Li Yuezhu.
He slowly turned his head, glanced at Chen Linglong, and took the initiative to let go of Li Yuezhu's hand.
Li Yuezhu watched this strange couple watching the boy in the middle of the field catching Zhou with great interest. He actually had no idea of letting her continue to say thank you, as if he just said it as a joke.
Li Yuezhu felt his head was buzzing. Ever since he saw Zhang De's unbearable scene, Li Yuezhu felt more and more elusive about this man.
Originally, this Zhang De might have been a second-generation ancestor who was spoiled by his family, but now this Zhang De has become a tolerant, violent and sinister bird of prey with ulterior motives, making people more fearful than before.
While Li Yuezhu was thinking and outsiders were making noises, the boy named Du finally finished arresting Zhou.
Li Yuezhu looked at the child's hands and found that after grabbing and grabbing, the child caught a flower.
Who made this flower so bright? In this cold winter, it is hard for the whole family. However, children are already interested in brightly colored items, so it is not surprising to catch that flower.
But others don't think so.
"Why did you choose a flower? It seems that this boy will definitely be a person who hangs out in the land of fireworks in the future!"
"Yes, even if this were not the case, this child would not be able to make a difference when he grows up."
