Chapter 201 Offended His Majesty (1)
Walking to the Chuihua Gate, Rong Xia saw the servants of the Ban family leading out two women who were dressed as women. These two people did not look like servants of the Ban family, but neither did they look like dignitaries.
"Grandpa's greetings." The two female storytellers saluted, seeing that there was another person behind Ban Huai, they blessed themselves again, and then bowed their heads and retreated.
"This is the female storyteller raised by the family," Ban Huai said with a smile, "I usually keep them for fun."
Thinking of Banhua's habit of listening to people tell stories and being picky about the plot, Rong Xia smiled: "It's good."
I have known for a long time that the Ban family has a female storyteller, but only after meeting them do I know that the Ban family's freedom and attention to life are enough to make many people envious.
"Father, Uncle Rong." Ban Heng came out to greet him, and was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with Ban Huai. Early in the morning, his father was called away by the palace people, and no news came out. He didn't even listen to what the storyteller said.
Tables and chairs were set up outside the yard, with tea and snacks on them. Yin Shi and Ban Hua sat at the table, and Rong Xia stepped forward to greet Yin Shi, and presented the meeting gift bought on the way.
"Our family doesn't pay much attention to these things," Yin smiled and beckoned Rong Xia to sit down, "Don't bring anything with you next time."
"It's not something valuable," Rong Xia Yiyu glanced at Ban Hua from the corner of his eyes from time to time, "It's just interesting to look at, and the younger generation thinks that everyone can have a taste of it."
Ban Heng sniffled. This "everyone" only includes his sister? These little gadgets are obviously for coaxing little girls like his sister. He is a big man, so he will never be interested in this.
Yin Shi also guessed Rong Xia's careful thinking, she smiled and let Rong Xia take a seat, "Thank you nephew for reminding me today."
Rong Xia shook her head: "Auntie said this because she treated the younger generation as an outsider."
Ban Heng lowered his head and played with the teacup in his hand, speaking as if he was a member of the Ban family at the moment.
"Ma'am, shouldn't it be time for lunch?" Ban Huai rubbed his belly, "I got up early in the morning, so I didn't even have a chance to make good use of tea."
"It's already been prepared," Seeing that he was always making things up for her, Yin was curious and amused, and asked the servant girls to wash their hands and face.
"Uncle Rong, the sun is good today, and we will have lunch in the garden, what do you think?" Yin wiped her face, then turned to ask Rong Xia.
"The garden of your mansion is beautiful, and eating here can make you feel refreshed," Rong Xia nodded hurriedly, "Auntie decides everything."
"Yeah." Yin nodded.
The meals are served quickly, ranging from light to spicy, sweet to salty, with a variety of flavors, colors and aromas. Rong Xia discovered that although the Ban family has a small population, they have different tastes. In the past, the Ban family was not so casual when eating, but now it seems that the Ban family really did not wrong themselves in the aspect of eating.
In addition, the Ban family does not use servants to serve meals, and they don't pay much attention to the rules of eating without talking, and they can gossip about their neighbors when they have nothing to do.
It seems that when he came to eat in the inner courtyard last time, the Ban family members were quite reserved, but now they showed their true colors.
After listening to them talk, he found out that the mother-in-law on the other street likes to torment her daughter-in-law, and whose son is not filial, and the topics they talk about are more shocking than when they came last time. It can be seen that when the family is bored, they usually go to Listen to this.
"Nephew," Ban Huaisai gave Rong Xia a cup of digestion tea after he had eaten his fill, and half-closed his eyes and said, "Our family is so lazy, it makes you laugh."
Rong Xia's brows widened, and a smile smeared on the corner of her mouth: "No, it's very good."
The Ban family no longer concealed their true character and received him, which showed that the Ban family had begun to value him.
Ban Huai drank his tea, looked at Rong Xia and smiled without saying a word.
"The younger generation has no elders and no nephews. It is a kind of enjoyment for the younger generation to be able to eat at the same table with the uncle's family." Rong Xia turned to look at Banhua. I will often bring the princess back for dinner."
The word "come back" was extremely ironic to Ban Huai's ears, so he seemed to no longer be so repulsive to the marriage Rong Xia mentioned, "After getting married, you two young people stay in the empty mansion, it is also It's deserted. The yard at home will always be reserved for you, and you can come back whenever you want."
"Master," Yin didn't expect Ban Huai to push her daughter out with a few words, and she scratched the lid of the teacup in her hand, "The marriage between Huahua and Uncle Rong hasn't been set yet, so it's too late to mention these things now." early."
"Yes, yes, yes." Ban Huai nodded repeatedly. He had no position in front of Yin.
Rong Xia got up and bowed to the two of them: "This junior knows that it would be rude to say this today, but this junior has to mention it. His Majesty's health is getting worse day by day, the prince's character is weak, and the second prince is ambitious. This junior is worried about the capital city. There will be trouble."
Ban family: Yes, not only will there be troubles, but there will also be a change of dynasty.
Rong Xia thought that the Ban family members would be curious and panicked, but facing their "so what" expressions on their faces, Rong Xia had the feeling that she just said "Gong Xi Fa Cai, everything goes well."
"Uncle's status is precious, and the younger generation is worried that someone will make a fuss about your family." Rong Xia frowned, "Everyone, please proceed with caution in the future."
Ban Huai nodded, "Thank you, nephew, for reminding me."
"In addition, this junior feels that there will be an auspicious day after the spring of next year," Rong Xia looked up at Yin and Banhua, "this junior sincerely begs to marry the Princess, and hopes to fix the date sooner. If it is His Majesty... this junior is worried that it will be more troublesome later on." .”
Ban Heng rested his chin with one hand and looked at Rong Xia with his face tilted. The real point finally arrived.
When Ban Huai and Yin heard this, they didn't immediately refute. Especially Yin, she had a contemplative look on her face, looked at Banhua after a while, and suddenly smiled: "Uncle Rong doesn't know something, our Ban family has never been a person who pays attention to vulgar etiquette. When did you and my girl Getting married is indeed a big event, but it's not just our decision."
In her opinion, there are indeed many advantages for Huahua to marry Rong Xia. One is that the population is simple, and you don’t have to worry about trivial matters between sisters-in-law when you marry. There are no elders above, and they don't pay that much attention to the rules. They don't have to get up early every now and then to greet her. With Huahua's lazy personality, she asks her to greet her mother-in-law every day at dawn. As long as he thinks about it, he feels reluctant. The daughter she raised in the palm of her hand has never experienced any hardships since she was a child, but she has suffered all kinds of hardships when she married into someone else's family. How can she feel relieved?
