Chapter 84 Ye's Big Plan
Jun Muze looked at the purse that was embroidered in his hand, and then looked at the back of Bai Huayan who had already run away shyly, and couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder if the young ladies of the Bai family are not good at red women. It is rare for a girl to embroider the purse so roughly." Thinking about it again, he added: "It is even more rare to be able to take out such a crude thing to give to others."
Wei Kao, who was following her, also spoke at this time and said, "I think it is impossible for the Bai family to be not good at Nu Hong. After all, no family will not pay attention to this."
The sixth prince nodded, "That's the difference in education. That's right, after all, it's not a biological child. No matter how close he is, he can't really treat him like his biological child. However, since this fifth lady can sit on both sides of the mistress with the eldest lady, she is better than the others."
The health examination was puzzled, "Your Highness likes the Bai family so much?"
"Bai Family? Haha." The Sixth Prince laughed, "The Bai Family is nothing, but the Ye Family and the Guo Family are worth exploring."
Kao Wei was stunned for a while, then nodded, "Indeed, especially the Guo family, the veteran general once held heavy troops and made great contributions to the Eastern Qin Dynasty. Compared to the Ye family and the Bai family, the Guo family is truly terrible. However, Your Highness——" Wei Kao reminded him, "In addition, another force of the Bai family should not be underestimated."
The sixth prince continued to walk towards the front yard, and said as he walked: "Are you talking about that second lady?"
"That's right. No matter what, the ninety-two His Highnesses expressed their opinions, and the arrival of that Eunuch Jiang even represented the emperor's attitude. So my subordinates believed that they could not treat the second lady badly, at least a bowl of water was calm. For example, the Emperor's Highness, when he saw His Highness left, he sent someone to send a silver note to the second lady."
"Oh?" Jun Muze didn't expect his elder brother to do this. He subconsciously reached out and touched his sleeve bag, and only found two silver notes of 100 taels. "I'm not ready to go out today. Besides, I don't know how much the boss gave it. This money is really hard to give. By the way, aren't we bringing a pair of glass cups?"
The health examination quickly said, "I brought it, I originally planned to give it to the young lady."
"Yeah." The sixth prince waved his hand, "From the situation today, it shouldn't be the turn of the eldest lady to show her diligence. It would be better to send the pair of glass cups to the second lady, which is considered a gift for my future brother and sister."
The labour was done for the health examination, and the two quickly walked back to the front yard.
Soon, in the banquet hall of the back house, a pair of dazzling colorful glass cups were delivered to Bai Heran.
For the ancients, glazed glass was a more precious existence than jade. In addition to the palace and palace, glazed glass products were rarely seen outside.
But now, a pair of cups made of glass appeared in the banquet hall and appeared in front of Bai Heran, attracting everyone's attention for a moment.
Bai Huayan was shocked. The splendor of the glass made her forget the sixth prince for the time being. Her eyes fell on the pair of cups, so greedy that she almost drooled. In order to see more clearly, she simply got up and left the table, jumped over Ye, stood next to Bai Jinghong, and looked straight at Bai Heran fiddling with the pair of glass cups, constantly worried about holding it, so that she should not throw such beautiful things.
After the last incident in Wutong Garden, Bai Jinghong was extremely disgusted with this fifth sister. Even when the other party was standing next to her, she had to endure the impulse to not pounce on her and beat the girl to death. If her mother hadn't said that it was useful to keep her white flower face, she would never have given up.
"Just a pair of glass cups, what's the best thing?" Bai Jinghong snorted coldly and warned Bai Huayan: "Fifth sister is more solemn. Don't let people laugh at it, saying that our Bai family's daughter is very knowledgeable."
Bai Huayan was not willing to listen to her advice, and said at the time: "I have never seen this thing before! It is indeed beautiful. I just don't know why it was delivered to that bitch, why did she put all the good things in front of her? Who gave it to me?"
Ye suddenly spoke and instructed his servants around him: "You go and ask, who gave such a valuable gift to Miss Second. Remember, inquire quietly, don't disturb Miss Second, so as not to be too careless."
Bai Huayan recovered a little, but she couldn't bear to return to her position because the position was separated by Ye and Bai Jinghong, and she was a little blocking her from looking at the glass cup.
Ye Shi was also indulging her, so she simply asked someone to move her chair and bowls to Bai Jinghong, and quietly gave Bai Jinghong a wink, indicating that she should not be too repulsive to Bai Huayan.
Bai Huayan had just sat down here and the servant who went to inquire about the news also came back: "Report to the second lady, the pair of glass cups were given by the Sixth Prince, and it was said that it was a gift for the second lady to return to the capital."
In a word, Bai Huayan almost jumped up in anger.
Ye continued to wink with Bai Jinghong. The mother and daughter who had always cooperated with each other's tacitly could understand the other's intentions with just one look. So Bai Jinghong frowned and threw a puzzled sentence: "When did the Sixth Prince start to treat the second sister like this? They probably haven't seen each other before? Could it be that it's today? No wonder when I came to toast, I saw him looking at the second sister intentionally or unintentionally. I didn't think much about it, but now it seems..."
"It's impossible!" Bai Huayan looked aggrieved, "When he just came down from the Sixth Palace, he was obviously talking to me except his mother. When did he fall in love with that bitch?"
Bai Jinghong picked up the hypocritical Bodhisattva face and began to comfort Bai Huayan: "Fifth sister, don't take it too much to heart. I'm just guessing and can't count it."
"Then why did he give that bitch?" Bai Huayan's eyes burst into tears, feeling very aggrieved. "It must be that bitch who was shameless and hooked up with the Sixth Prince."
Bai Jinghong sighed softly, "Oh, the second sister has already been loved by the Tenth Prince, so she shouldn't have been slapped with the Sixth Prince!"
"Hmph! Otherwise, why would you say it's a bitch? Eat the bowl and look at the basin, and think about the pot. It's so shameless!" Bai Huayan said without any restraint. If it weren't for the maid Qingcao, she would have rushed up to fight Bai Heran now.
However, Bai Jinghong kept stimulating her: "Don't be angry, so what if you are angry? Don't say that you are a concubine, even if I... you are not the serious bloodline of the Bai family. She is the real legitimate daughter, so some things are beyond your ability even if your sister wants to help you. Just look at the accident that happened today. My mother has suffered so much grievance, let alone you and me. I can see that you like the Sixth Prince, but if the second sister really stops it, Hua Yan, you can only give in."
Bai Huayan wanted to say why she gave in, but she was really unsure! She knew that what Bai Jinghong said was true. Everything happened today was vivid in my mind. Even the mistress and the legitimate daughter were bullied. What was she? Could it be that the sixth prince whom she finally fell in love with really had to give up?
Someone came in outside the banquet hall, a servant, walked to Ye and said, "Report to the second wife, the lanterns on Yunmeng Lake have been hung. The guests can move to the lakeside. The master has already taken the guests in the front yard to take the lead."
Ye nodded, ordered his servant to retreat, stopped singing and dancing, and then sang with a smile and said, "Everyone, today's hospitality is a negligent person, I hope you can forgive me. There is a big lake in the mansion called Yunmeng. I had ordered people to hang lanterns by the lake and set up many riddles. Please follow me to visit Yunmeng Lake, and let's have a riddle party with the male guests who came to have a banquet!"
As soon as this said, the ladies and ladies who were depressed before finally became happy. After all, the sixth prince came here and was stolen by Bai Huayan. They didn't get anything good. They were depressed and were afraid that they would be in vain today. Unexpectedly, Ye arranged such a riddle party, which finally made people's hurt hearts feel a little relieved.
So people stood up and followed Ye towards Yunmeng Lake with anticipation.
Bai Heran also went to the table. Chunyu Lan's tablet was carried by Moyu and sent back to the ancestral hall. The old lady also joined in the fun with her granddaughters. But she was always a little uneasy, and she whispered to remind her while walking: "I always think that this riddle could be done for nothing. If it's not guaranteed, some monsters will be made. Otherwise, we'd better not go."
Bai Heran quickly comforted her: "Grandma, don't worry, the soldiers come to block the water and flood the soil. Even if they want to cause trouble, we have to face to face. The collision on the surface is always much better than the conspiracy in secret."
The old lady thought about it, so she stopped saying anything.
There are three artificial lakes in the entire Wenguo Duke Mansion, one big and two small, and the largest one is Yunmeng Lake.
It is early spring, and it is less than the third month of the old calendar. Although the lake is not as good as it is in winter, it still has a thin layer of ice, which is neither people nor boats.
There is a bridge next to Yunmeng Lake, which leads directly to both sides of the lake, and a pavilion in the middle is connected to the middle of the lake. Colorful lights are hung on the high-rise poles by the bridge. Below each lamp is a piece of beautifully trimmed red paper, with riddles written on it, waiting for people to guess.
This is the biggest highlight of the banquet and the ultimate purpose of the banquet. It can also be regarded as the benefits arranged by the Duke of Wenguo for the guests of the banquet. Many people came here specifically for this.
Finding a first-class event to bring young men and women together has almost become an unwritten rule for banquets in the capital. Putting unmarried men and women and their families together is not to be fun, but to look at each other. If anyone likes them, the man will send someone to propose marriage in a few days. Once the marriage is completed, the host of the banquet will be regarded as a matchmaker and receive a generous gift.
However, Ye did not do anything for rituals, nor did he really want to seek benefits for young men and girls. The reason why he set up the riddle club in Yunmeng Lake was for her big plan...
