Chapter 201: Wen Tang enters Beijing, and the annual banquet opens
When Qin Wentang arrived at Mei's house, everyone in the Mei family stood at the gate to greet them, all of them in good spirits and brightly dressed. This made the people in the capital very curious.
As we all know, the Mei family has always been very low-key, rarely holding family banquets and banquets, so it is rare to see the masters of the Mei family gather like this. The servant of the Mei family had already gotten the news that he was Mei Yanshan's fiancΓ©, and when someone asked, he said that he was his future uncle. Everyone looked at Qin Wentang again, and they only felt that this young man had an extraordinary voice, and he was a good match for Mei Yanshan, and soon, the news spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
Qin Wentang is used to floating on the rivers and lakes, and he is suddenly being watched, somewhat uncomfortable, Fu Rongyue has met him once, and he is not a stranger, and said with a smile: "Brother Wentang is afraid that he doesn't like such a scene, right?"
"It's a little uncomfortable. Qin Wentang smiled slightly, the princely house is not the same as he thought.
Mei Ruanyi got out of the carriage and quietly looked at him on the side, but he didn't say much, Mei Ruanyi was close to Qin Wentang, and said with relief: "It's okay, you don't come to the capital often, these people are just fresh for a while." β
"Hmm. Qin Wentang smiled: "It should be good to get used to it." β
Mei Xiangrong took a few steps behind and spoke with the weak middle-aged man, Fu Rongyue didn't know this person, seeing that he was very familiar with the middle-aged man, she couldn't help but be curious, and asked Qin Wentang quietly: "Who is this?"
"Oh, this is my uncle, surnamed Mu. Qin Wentang showed a warm smile: "This time I entered the palace, my identity is a little sensitive, my father is inconvenient for the road, I can't say it, so I have to let Uncle Mu pretend to be my father." Uncle Mu has a special identity, whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the court, everyone has to sell him a little face, and there will be no problems. β
This person's surname is Mu?
Fu Rongyue frowned slightly, and immediately remembered the legend about the ancestors.
At that time, Gaozu ruled the world, and named Mu's original wife as the queen of the Yuan, and there was only one wife for the queen of the Yuan dynasty in his life, and the Mu family was honored and favored because of this.
The Mu family was originally a merchant, and later entered the imperial court, the marquis and the king, one of the three sons of the Mu family made great achievements on the battlefield, one inherited the ancestral business and engaged in business, and one entered the rivers and lakes, which was called a legend for a while. The Mu family later withdrew from the court, the shopping mall is still invincible, and the rivers and lakes are also famous, who mentions the three masters of the Mu family, must not give a thumbs up, and call a sentence Gai Mengwei? Now the descendants of the Mu family are still floating in the rivers and lakes, and the Xuansu Villa established is one of the best major sects in the rivers and lakes.
Gaozu left words back then, let the descendants of the Wei family help the Mu family in the era, it must not be violated; in the Mu family motto, it is still the first priority to serve the country, and there has been no conflict for a hundred years, the royal care, the rivers and lakes give face, and the descendants of the Mu family are like fish in water.
Qin Wentang is based on the Mu family, which can be regarded as a very correct choice, and Emperor Shou has nothing to say about this family business.
Fu Rongyue smiled: "Your Majesty smells it, do you still say that it is the adopted son of the Mu family?"
"Is there a better way to say it?" Qin Wentang smiled.
Mei Yanshan looked at him for a long time on the side, and couldn't help but interject when she heard the words: "I'm afraid Your Majesty won't believe it." β
Now on the bright side, Qin Wentang and her are the names of the fiancΓ©e, but the two are really strangers, just now Qin Wentang got out of the carriage, and only said hello to her, and even the compliments were not much, as soon as she spoke, the atmosphere between the two was inevitably a little more embarrassing.
Fortunately, Qin Wentang grew up in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't have the twists of the princes in Kyoto, thinking that Mei Yanshan could take the initiative to talk to a girl, but she was not a difficult person, so she couldn't help laughing: "It's up to us to say this, Your Majesty may not believe it, but Uncle Mu will say it, it's different." β
"He?" Mei Yanshan didn't trust the weak middle-aged man at all.
From Mei Ruanyi's stories of the rivers and lakes, she has imagined the appearance of many owners of Xuansu Villa, although she can't bear her back, but she must have broad shoulders and thick shoulders, which makes people feel very relieved, so that she can be worthy of the name of the owner of a village!
But this Mu Qingli in front of her, from her name to her appearance, from her appearance to her temperament, from her temperament to her body, none of them can have anything to do with the chivalrous man in her mind!
When Qin Wentang heard this, his face changed slightly, and his tone became a little rusty: "Miss doesn't believe it, then let's wait and see." β
He was raised by Qin Shuangao, but he was taken care of by Xuansu Villa in the past, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest criticism of Mu Qingli.
Mei Yanshan was unintentionally puzzled, but she didn't expect to encounter such a cold face, and she suddenly became angry in her heart, and she also snorted coldly: "Just wait and see." β
Mei Ruanyi and Fu Rongyue glanced at each other, Mei Ruanyi was strange, but Fu Rongyue sighed.
The coming day is long, and we can only take one step at a time, and now, let's get through the current difficulties first.
Mei Xiangrong led Mu Qingli straight to the study, Qin Wentang hesitated, and was about to follow, but Mu Qingli turned around and instructed Mei Ruanyi: "Ruan Yi, you take Wentang to prepare, and then tell him some etiquette to pay attention to, so as not to enter the palace and lose etiquette for a while." β
This was obviously a refusal, and Qin Wentang had no choice but to follow Mei Ruanyi dejectedly.
Mei Yanshan and Fu Rongyue went to the Tranquil Pavilion, and they were still angry all the way, and couldn't help but say, "This Qin Wentang, why is he so annoying?"
"He just said a word, where is he annoying?" Fu Rongyue said casually as she picked up the jewelry she wanted to use for a while.
Mei Yanshan jumped up when she heard it: "I just said a word, where did I offend him?"
Fu Rongyue raised her head and couldn't help but say, "Sister Yan Shan, if someone says that your father-in-law is not good and has no interest, what will you think?"
"I'll ask him to find someone who can show me. Mei Yanshan didn't think about it and said, "I can't find it, I'll talk to him with my fist." β
"It's the same thing. For Brother Wentang, Mu Qingli is probably as important as his father-in-law. Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled: "So, he's not wrong, right?"
Mei Yanshan was silent, and it took a long time before she said reluctantly: "Okay, I forgive him." β
"Why are you still here? You're going to leave in a while, aren't you going to change your clothes?" Fu Rongyue glanced at Mei Yanshan strangely, Mei Yanshan took off her outfit today and wore a dress, but the hair was combed up with a ribbon, and she didn't even bother to get a bun, which looked a little awkward.
Today is the New Year's banquet, if it is too vegetarian, it will inevitably make people feel distracted and scornful.
Mei Yanshan stood up and circled: "I think it's good." But since you don't think it's good, I'll just replace it. β
She stood up, rolled her eyes, swept around the room, pursed her lips and smiled: "But it's still early, I'll prepare later." Xiaobai, lend it to me to play. β
As if to cooperate with her, a few cries came from the drawer on the desk, and Mei Yanshan immediately laughed and walked over, and really grabbed Xiaobai out of the cabinet, hugged it in her arms, and went to her yard. Fu Rongyue shook her head while watching, Mei Yanshan is really relieved, and she can be calm and calm when she is in charge of major events, which can be regarded as a blessing!
Mei Xiangrong and Mu Qingli have been talking in the study for more than an hour, and when the two of them came out, the time to enter the palace was getting closer and closer.
Qin Wentang was taken by Mei Ruanyi to change his clothes and wear splendid clothes, and his whole temperament changed, and he had a little more elegant taste. Fu Rongyue nodded again and again, looking at it this way, in terms of appearance alone, Sister Yan Shan is also a talented woman.
When she thought of Mei Yanshan, she naturally turned her head to see what Mei Yanshan had changed, and she was almost stunned at this look.
Mei Yanshan changed into a skirt, the fiery red Luo skirt set off her slender figure, the belt around her waist is white, red and white against the background, the red is more bright, the white is cleaner, and the completely different colors are not abrupt on her;
"What, it's ugly?" Mei Yanshan rarely dresses like this, and it is indescribably awkward.
Fu Rongyue shook her head again and again, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, it's so beautiful! Brother Ruan Yi, isn't it?"
"It's a lot better than the usual tomboys. Mei Ruanyi praised her very cooperatively.
Qin Wentang had already seen Mei Yanshan, but he didn't recognize it at first, but it took a while to ease up, not to say anything, but also to appreciate her beauty in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Miss Mei's heavenly posture makes me ashamed of myself." β
"Really?" Mei was skeptical about the truth of his words, but this time, she was only skeptical of herself.
Qin Wentang nodded encouragingly, and Mei Yanshan put down the hand that had been holding her belt with anxiety, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Mei Xiangrong and Mu Qingli also packed up and came to the front hall to gather.
It is said that the eighteenth change of the female university, Rao is her own daughter, the change is too great, Mei Xiangrong didn't react at the first time, and when she arrived in the front hall, she couldn't see Mei Yanshan, and asked: "Why hasn't Yan Shan come yet, can't it be that she overslept?"
"Dad, am I not here?" Mei Yanshan couldn't help but want to roll her eyes when she ignored his red fruit.
Only then did Mei Xiangrong react, the beautiful girl in red beside Fu Rongyue was his daughter! His eyes widened in surprise, and he saw that his eyebrows and eyes were indeed Mei Yanshan, and after looking at it fixedly, he believed that Mei Yanshan had really grown up, and his mood couldn't help but be complicated. It took a long time before he said, "In that case, let's go." β
Mu Qingli smiled and quipped: "You can't even recognize your daughter, it's really old." β
Mei Xiangrong laughed: "No matter how old you are, I'm afraid I'm going to be a monster." β
In such a joke, Mei Yanshan became more and more relaxed, and the Mei family got into the carriage and went to the palace.
At this time, it was very late, and as soon as the Mei family arrived, it immediately caused quite a stir. In addition to Mei Yanshan's shocking dress today, everyone has long heard that Mei Guogong brought his son-in-law to the New Year's banquet today, and they all looked at it with wide eyes.
