Chapter Forty-Six: The Prime Minister Loses the Upper Hand
Guan Jianye waited in the flower hall of Anfu, he had already drunk three cups of tea, in just a few days, he seemed to be ten years old, his temples were a little gray, he was irritable, kept pacing back and forth in the hall, looking forward to it, but the people who had to wait did not come.
Seeing that it was almost dusk, a voice he had been looking forward to for a long time came: "Uncle Guan, I've been waiting for a long time." “
An Huaisu is about forty, extremely well maintained, only as good as in his thirties, he is born very well, his facial features are as perfect as a sculpture, and he has a short beard for the sake of majesty, which looks more mature and charming. At this moment, he walked slowly with his hands in his hands, and his elegance and elegance were especially better than Chopard's, and his gestures were as noble as the century-old family's bells, which was more magnificent than Chopard's serious royal bloodline, in fact, the An family was only three generations based on high society.
An Huaisu's grandfather was a poor scholar, and he entered the court as an official in the imperial examination, and he was only a five-grade Beijing official until he died, and his father was also a material for reading.
Guan Jianye saw that he was finally here, and stepped forward excitedly: "Xiangye, please save the dog." An Huaisu frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "Originally, it was good to retire and then I came forward to set up a marriage for the Sun family, so that I could greatly sweep Choparv's face, and at that time, he would not personally make a move on Young Master Guan because of his identity, and I would also secretly greet him to keep him safe. Ruined Young Master Guan's reputation and future, caught me off guard, and it was already too late."
Guan Jianye's face was shocked and shocked, "Lord An is saying that Xiao Bao's business was done by Chopardway?" An Huaisu looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, "Isn't he who he is? Who knows about you? And so coincidentally, just after an accident, the Xiao family came to the door to withdraw from the family?"
Guan Jianye thought about it before and after, figured out the joints, hated so much that his eyes were red mixed with bloodshots, these days Pingyang Bofu has become the laughing stock of the whole capital, he doesn't even dare to go out, Guan Jue has lost his reputation, the weight of the words "moral corruption" is too heavy, it can be said that Guan Jue has no hope of resurrection in this life, thinking of his young son who has lost his soul all day long and is in pain, Guan Jianye gritted his teeth and said: "Chopard is so ruthless! A little trivial festival has ruined our Guan family, and I am inseparable from him!"
An Huaisu sat silent, but he was sneering in his heart, although Xiao Bangwei's move was unexpected, but such a ruthless counterattack is what the big Sima who dominates the court and presses himself should be.
Although he was disdainful of Guan Jianye, An Huaisu still comforted him very well: "Uncle Guan is angry, Chopin Wei is so perverse, and there will be retribution after all." I also have a mistake in this matter, I will find a way for you to deal with Ling Lang's matter, and when the time is right, I will make a statement to the emperor and pardon Ling Lang. ”
Guan Jianye got An Huaisu's insincere perfunctory words, but as if grasping a life-saving straw, he stumbled out of Anfu, lifted the sedan curtain, and asked: "Uncle, where are you going next? Go home?" Guan Jianye looked around blankly, going home? When he thought of returning home and seeing his decadent son, his sad and bedridden wife, and the Sun family who came to the door from time to time, he only felt a splitting headache, his heart was sour, he laughed a few times, and waved weakly: "Go back." ”
The Xiao family was beaming with joy at this time, and even the people who came and went had a relaxed smile on their faces. Everyone gathered in the old lady's condensation hall and gathered around the old lady to enjoy themselves.
This time, the Xiao family not only did not lose its reputation, but public opinion was overwhelmingly inclined to the Xiao family, and even Le Rao won a lot of sympathy and praise. The old lady looked at Chopardway, who was sitting at the bottom, with a smile, "This time thanks to you, I can do it so thoughtfully," she looked at Gu Shi with a respectful expression, "You also did a good job, you spoke very decently, and you can be stable." ”
Gu Shi was praised by the old lady, and he was a little happy, but he still tried to hold on, and said with a light smile: "If my mother teaches her well, my daughter-in-law can grow a little." Choparin also sat on one side and said with a smile: "What my mother said is that I want to thank my eldest brother and sister-in-law for causing you trouble." Chopin Wei bowed slightly, Gu didn't dare to say anything, the old lady glanced at Zhou's Lerao, who was smiling and stiff and embarrassed, and said lightly: "The second child is a sensible person." Zhou, Le Rao, you should really thank them, otherwise, Le Rao's reputation will be difficult to protect. ”
Zhou was embarrassed and indignant, and the hand in his sleeve was clenched tightly, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he reluctantly got up and gave Chopin Weigu a big gift with Le Rao: "Thank you for your help, big brother and sister-in-law, for bothering you." Le Rao also said: "Rao'er thanked the uncle and aunt." ”
Chopin Wei didn't like Zhou's Lerao, so he only nodded lightly, but Gu's was not easy to support, so he personally helped Zhou: "We are a family, you and I have been together for many years, and we should help each other, so we don't need to say thank you." ”
The old lady was in a good mood and said with a smile: "It's already July, and the weather is too hot to be, so our family's hibiscus banquet should also be held this year." But just after this incident, don't feast on it, just invite these relatives and friends who walk around on weekdays, it's not good to be too public. ”
Chopin nodded knowingly, if he feasted on a large scale, he would inevitably be said to be gloating and frivolous, and if he didn't do it, he would be speculated whether the Xiao family was not as good as before, and he would be bullied by the small Pingyang Bofu.
Le Xian hurriedly joked: "Then the granddaughter invited all the friends she had made to be lively." "The old lady is old, and she also likes to see these flower-like little girls laughing and laughing, so she laughs. Le Xian looked at Le Yu, her eyes were as usual: "The fourth sister also invited the young lady who was good friends, there are always more people." But she was mocking in her heart, except for Miao Yizhen, I think you can invite anyone, you don't even have three or two confidants and girlfriends, which proves that you are a failure.
Everyone looked at Le Yu, Le Yu didn't move, and responded with a light smile: "What the big sister said is true." At that time, our sisters will also be busy entertaining guests, and we will not have as many banquets as the eldest sister, and we will have enough experience, so the eldest sister will take us. ”
Le Xian smiled proudly, "Of course." I am the eldest daughter in the family, so naturally I want to take a good lead. The old lady looked at it with a smile, and turned to look at the Gu family, "That day is set for nineteen, it just so happens that Guozijian is on holiday, and he also asked Dongwei to come back and invite his friends to play." ”
Gu Shi was slightly stunned, then smiled and bent his knees, "Yes." She has never interfered in Xiao Dongwei's affairs, and she didn't know the old lady's intentions, so she saw her looking at Zhou: "You are also short of spirit for a while, so let your sister-in-law help you at the hibiscus banquet, and the two concubines will discuss it." “
