话说在这酒宴之上,一派融洽的气氛。在座的都很高兴,各有各的交谈,娴儿与巧如烟是一见如故,有说有谈,你一个妹妹,我一个姐姐的,像是离散多年的姐妹。而袁文华也是终于搭上两句话,何雅蕊对他并不算讨厌,袁文华说不上是坏人,而且客气有理,说说话,还是理所应该的。特别是,以后还要袁文华把傅小蛙给纠出来,关系还是要处理好些。
见那巧如烟与娴儿已经熟络,顿了顿,然后找到一个话题切入,想了解一下她想知道的东西,她道:“娴儿妹妹如此贤淑德才,一定是有很多追求者,怕是皇城的才俊都踩破了门坎罢!”
娴儿谦贤道:“如烟姐姐是笑话娴儿了,姐姐才是有大本事的人,娴儿只会在家弄弄文墨,空谈风雅,哪似姐姐叱咤天下商坛,天底下莫不都是钦仰姐姐的男子,只是难有人能配得上姐姐的风姿罢了!”
何雅蕊是多句嘴道:“哪里有人敢追求,娴儿马上要嫁给三皇子,是未来的准太子妃娘娘,也很有可能是未来的皇后娘娘哟!”
娴儿娇责道:“你这丫头,嘴咋这么多,这么多饭菜都堵不住!”
这便是巧如烟拐着弯想要知道的一些信息,原来,这讨人喜的姑娘,果真是有着不一样的未来。看来,傅小蛙是无望了,她生起一丝遗憾。不过,这丝不经意的遗憾表情一闪而过,她的表情很快恢复了平常。
她淡笑道:“原来如此,娴儿妹妹竟然是有如此姻缘,是姐姐眼浊了!”
“娴儿的婚期快要将至。介时,想请姐姐到临,不知姐姐是否愿望!”
“哦,那是一定一定,不管再忙。姐姐也一定到临,而且还备份超级大礼!”巧如烟点点头道。
“那娴儿先谢过姐姐了!”
巧如烟望了一眼那傅小蛙,见傅小蛙在打着饱嗝,一脸的呆样,她不由心生恼怒,敲了一下他的脑门。责斥道:“就知道吃吃吃,一点都不知道努力,没有上进心,有没有听说过什么叫少壮不努力,老来徒伤悲。还不赶紧的去找个媳妇回来,介时好姑娘都被人讨走了!”
傅小蛙摸摸被敲的脑瓜子道:“您说的也太简单了,像俺这样一穷二白事业无成,连住的地方都没有的愣头兵,谁愿意嫁啊!”
“有老娘给你撑腰,你怕什么,喜欢谁就带回来,想住金銮宝殿老娘也给你买下两分地来!”这翠云台的大东家。说句话都是那么有霸气。
袁文华心里噫地一声,想这有个多钱的同乡就是好,这靠山就是不一样。说话的底气都足劲。
梦语菲想,你要是娶了我,谁要你的房子,再多一百个你傅小蛙,也住不完宰相府的一半。
薛凌香想,你要是娶了我。还轮得到你当愣头兵,几十万军队都让你唤着玩。
何雅蕊想。你要是娶了我,还用你操心事业。一品以下的百样官职,每天让你换一样尝新鲜。
娴儿什么都没想,她这感觉着,这如烟姐的话怪怪的,怎么都不像在说别人。
却听傅小蛙道:“天下未定,不敢擅谈儿女私情!”
“天下之事关你屁事啊,你少给老娘装清高,你丫有个鸡腿就能把节操卖了!”
说到整治傅小蛙,一直都是巧如烟的传统强项。
这时的巧如烟展现在众人面前的是不为人知的另一面,而这一面,也只是在傅小蛙出现的时候,才会流露。
而娴儿见到这如烟姐的另一面,却能感觉到她跟傅小蛙之间,并不是同乡这么简单的一层关系,那是一种道不清的熟悉与亲密。
突然间娴儿却是想到要试探一下,她像是开玩笑般,试问着傅小蛙道:“要不……你看语菲怎么样?”
说到底,众女以前从来没有像现在这样,点破这个僵局,这向来都是众女们所回避的话题。
却是真是说到这个,梦语菲的脸刷地一下红了起来,在这场合下,她是慌了神,她错乱中道:“要,要嫁你们嫁,我才不嫁!”
“还是你看凌香怎么样?”
凌香也刷地一下脸红,她也结巴道:“我,我,我也不嫁!”
傅小蛙道:“喏喏,看看吧,我说了不会招人喜欢的吧!”
说是这么说,巧如烟见这两个姑娘紧张的样子,一个都没差的。
娴儿早就知道两个人喜欢傅小蛙,就是人多场合嘴硬得很,看傅小蛙却是一根筋的家伙,完全不知道回事样。
“如果,我是说如果,傅小蛙要是让你选,你比较中意哪一个?”娴儿不依不饶地追问。
说到这个话题,是让两女心中扑嗵扑嗵的跳,事到如今,这也是她们一直埋藏在心底,一直想要知道的答案。
这个问题,傅小蛙倒是还从来没有想过,他总是没心没肺的,掠获了这么多芳心却莫不知晓。这也是让他为难,他挠挠头道:“这个问题,真的是不好回答,因为是没有可能的事,娴儿姑娘你为嘛又非要做出这个假设!”
“我只是好奇的想问问,如果真有这么回事,你会选谁?”
傅小蛙咽咽口水,望了望薛凌香,又望了望梦语菲。这两个姑娘,一个是朝中左中堂的闺女,一个是镇国大将军的独女,选谁都不是他傅小蛙份内的事。
“选……”傅小蛙咬咬手指头,快要做出答案。
酒宴的气氛顿时进入一种紧崩的状态,很多人都在期待着一个答案,或许这个答案,会改变很多事情。袁文华是撇撇嘴,一个愣头兵还在这里挑肥挑瘦的。还有这样的选美待遇,怎么像是玩真的一样。
现在几女之间的关系很微妙,如果这个像是假设的答案出来,或许会因为姐妹间的关系,有人会默默放弃。梦语菲的手心已经沁出一些汗。而薛凌香也是有意无意间地转动着眼前的杯子。就连做祟者娴儿,也想知道答案。巧如烟是在等待着,只要答案一出,立即捆绑,扭送洞房,再上门提亲。
却是在这紧要时候。突然间,翠云台的下人进入阁间作揖禀报道:“启禀大东家,下面来了两位客人,说是想要天字号的雅间!”
巧如烟恼这不适时宜出现的下人,她不高兴地道:“没见着这都有客人么。直接回绝了不是!”
“可,可下面的两位客人自称是,庄亲王跟三皇子,小的,不敢擅自做主……”
这话一出,倒是让众人惊起,没想到竟然是庄亲王跟三皇子,巧如烟皱皱眉道:“竟然是庄亲王。怎么会在浩城?”
娴儿忙作揖道:“我们是一道来的浩城,是因为一些重要的公事!”
“这三皇子,就是妹妹的夫婿吧。姐姐倒是想见见!”巧如烟回头对那下人道:“去跟两位客人说,如不嫌弃,我翠云台的大东家一起宴请两位,如果愿意就带两人上来!”
“是!”
那下人得令下了楼去。
见楼下,确实是那三皇子与庄亲王,那庄亲王。正在楼下欣赏着云台上柳月儿风姿漫漫的舞蹈。说是这庄亲王吃惯了这王府里的上品佳肴,到这将军府每天都是平庸至极的菜色。这不。今天闲空拖着朱鸿煊到这天下闻名的翠云台来换换口味,在这浩城。这也是唯一的去处。
见那下人到来,庄亲王问道:“天字号的雅间可有?”
“回,回王爷,我家大东家正在天字号雅阁宴请朋友,大东家说,如两位不嫌弃,也请两位一道!”
朱鸿煊奇怪道:“这翠云台的大东家,是个神龙见首不见尾的大人物,她家的产业遍布全天下,这翠云台不过是旗下一个小产业!”
“本王也听说过此女,那不如一起去结识结识?”
“正有此意!”
两个人移步上了楼。
到了天字号的雅间,两个这才发现,原来这翠云台大东家所宴请的朋友,他们认识十之**。
娴儿起身作礼:“娴儿见过殿下庄亲王!”
朱鸿煊进入雅间中,惊起一声道:“原来你们便是大东家的朋友,真是想不到,想之不到!”
巧如烟作礼道:“民女见过殿下王爷!”
这庄亲王也是久闻而已,却从未见过这名满天下的翠云台大东家。虽然自称民女,如今一见,果真是气质非凡,比传闻中的更让人惊奇,是人间不可多见的极品女子。
这气质是高高在上,相较他所见的皇后皇妃都要更胜一筹,就是他这王爷的身份,也降下身阶来,作揖客套道:“久闻翠云台的大东家风采,果真是闻名不如见面,本王有幸受邀,实属荣幸!”
不过在这里,却是有一个人,不太招庄亲王待见,是那当日扫他王爷威风,扛着刀架在他脖子上的愣头兵。
巧如烟也是交际场上的老手,客套着道:“是王爷大驾光临,让小店蓬碧生辉了,这位,便是三皇子吧,小女子见过三皇子!”
巧如烟是特意留意了一下这朱三皇子,果然是风度翩翩的风流才俊,举手投足间都带着皇室的风范,而且还是皇子,非常有可能的是未来的帝王。这果真是才子配佳人,小蛙啃红薯。
朱鸿煊见女子是有难得的气质,高贵冷艳,让人不敢近渎,自称民女是让人觉得怪怪的。朱鸿煊作揖有礼地道:“在下冒昧打扰,不知娴儿与大东家也是朋友,是能瞻得娴儿的光,有幸识得大东家,倍感荣幸!”
巧如烟也能感觉到傅小蛙没戏份,她客套着招待两人:“哪里哪里,我翠云台得招待到皇室,两位快快请坐,这里酒菜已凉,我叫人再备一桌!”
这翠云台的桌子,就是特制的大,足以坐下十几个人。这翠云台的菜向来是少而精致。而这桌上的菜,哪里是凉,分明是被傅小蛙吃光了大半。
在坐的人挪坐了一下,四女,加袁文华傅小蛙。巧如烟,另外朱三皇子与庄亲王,九个人,坐得下,还显得空荡。
朱鸿煊自是坐在娴儿旁边,一看是极配的一对俊才佳人。袁文华是一见。这一桌人,真是可以权倾朝野了,皇亲国戚,天下巨富,四女爹爹在朝里的军权。官权,说句不好听的,造反都没问题。
巧如烟是眯笑着看着娴儿跟朱三皇子,夸耀道:“两位真是天造地设的一双,真是好般配,娴儿妹妹有福,三殿下也有福气!”
“大东家过进了,在下惭愧得很!”朱鸿煊恭恭手。
傅小蛙发现庄亲王扫过的怒眼。有胆忮地回避着王爷的眼光。
