As soon as he signaled slightly, a guard immediately carried up a box, opened the lid of the box, and inside was a group of jade carvings, a white jade horse with fine carving was eating grass in Xing Shan, and there was a hanging tiger lying next to the horse, the horse seemed to sense the danger, the hair on its body was slightly erect, and its two hind legs were slightly bent, and it seemed that it was possible to kneel down at any time.

Jiang Taiping himself belongs to the horse, and Feng Jingting belongs to the tiger, although the jade carving is good, the jade quality is also superior, but the deep meaning contained in it makes people very angry.

Jiang Taiping's face changed slightly, and he was inconvenient, so he only waved his hand and asked someone to carry the jade carving down. said lightly: "The prince is really polite." ”

Feng Jingting smiled, "Grandpa is loyal to the country, and he has worked hard, so he should give this little thing." I only hope that the spirit of Grandpa Longma can live for a few more years, which is also a blessing for the people of the southeast. ”

Jiang Taiping laughed, "This is natural, Jiang is in excellent health, and he must be able to live longer than the prince." ”

The two of them are fighting each other, you say a word to me. Feng Jingting's face was full of smiles, and he was very relieved. On the other hand, although Jiang Taiping was smiling on his face, his facial muscles were obviously stiff, and he couldn't help laughing, presumably the gift given by Feng Jingting made him very angry.

The officials next to him watched, and none of them dared to come over and interject. I know in my heart that these two masters are the masters who can't be provoked, and who will be uncomfortable?

There are also many wealthy families in the southeast who came back to participate in the birthday banquet, and the Qin family, the largest family, also came, and the Qin family is the maiden family of the Duchess of Nanling, so it is no wonder that they will give face to participate in the birthday banquet. It's just that he who came was not in charge of the house, but Qin Shumin, the most prestigious Yong'an Hou of the Qin family, did not come.

Guo Wenying's biggest purpose this time was to meet the old man, but obviously he didn't give Jiang Taiping face. It seems that his position in the southeast is not as solid as he imagined. At least the two most famous Fang families and the Hu family did not arrive.

The Fang family is Fang Yuntang's family, and the old man of the Fang family is also a figure who stomps his feet and shakes three times in the southeast, as well as the Hu family, and the Cheng'en Mansion and Jun'an Houfu in the capital are all in-laws, and it seems that these families do not support Jiang Taiping.

After sitting and chatting for a while, someone reported that it was time to hold a table.

Jiang Taiping, as the host, took the guests to the backyard water pavilion, which is a scene of the back garden of the mansion, pavilions and pavilions, pond pavilion water pavilion, reflected in the green pine and cypress, rockery and strange stones, flower beds and bonsai, vines and green bamboos, dotted in the meantime, it is really a good luxury scenery.

Jiang Taiping saw that everyone was amazed, couldn't help but smile proudly, and said to Feng Jingting: "Please also invite the prince to the table." Then he smiled at Guo Wenying, "Lord Guo and Lord Lu should also please." ”

Guo Wenying and Lu Weixin were arranged in the lower middle seats, although the official ranks of the two were not low, but there were many high-ranking officials such as governors and governors in the southeast, and there was no place for them to sit in the chief. What's more, Jiang Taiping also deliberately folded their face, and sat the two of them with Rong Dehai and the like.

One is a third-grade and one is a fourth-grade, but sitting at a table with a few fifth-grade officials is uncomfortable.

Guo Wenying was silent, but Lu Weixin wanted to have a seizure, but she was still held back.

Nanling Gong deliberately made things difficult, it was his rudeness, and at this time, if they turned their faces because of some trivial things, it would be them who were rude. I simply sat down in peace, but I wanted to see what tricks they still had not used.

In front of the chief, Jiang Taiping was already toasting, he held the wine glass, and said a few words, such as welcoming everyone to the Jiang Mansion to congratulate him on his birthday, feeling honored, and taking the opportunity to show his merits, spitting out bitterness, talking about how difficult it is for him to guard the southeast all the year round, and for the stability of the party.

Feng Jingting listened on the sidelines, holding a wine glass in his hand and did not speak, he knew what Jiang Taiping meant, it was nothing more than blaming the court for being unkind to him in disguise, and there was not much praise for his contributions.

Who can't talk about what is alive and who is right and who is wrong, who can see who is right and who is wrong, so why should he argue loudly?

What's more, the imperial court has never treated him badly in recent years? He is just a prince of state, but he has a heavy army in his hands, and he also has a lot of private soldiers, and he has the tendency to fight against the imperial court, and he is the only one in the world who can do this. The reason why he has indulged him for so many years is not that he has been restrained by Wara, and he has no mental strength to look back at the southeast, otherwise how can he be allowed to become so big?

Jiang Taiping said a call, and some of them had to be a big sycophant, all of them praised Nanling Gong for his bravery, a rare pillar of the country, and even some loudly reprimanded the court, saying that if he was like Nanling Gong's ability, he should be crowned king.

Jiang Taiping smiled, "Thank you for your promotion, I have already made the fold of the seal, and it will not be long before the court will issue an edict to seal the king." ”

Everyone was complimented again, and the appearance of no one on the side was really annoying.

Lu Weixin asked in a low voice: "Wen Ying, does the emperor really want to crown Nanling Gong as king?"

Guo Wenying shook her head, how could she know about something like this. However, looking at Feng Jingting's slightly surprised face, it was obvious that he didn't know that Jiang Taiping had asked for a seal. If Jiang Taiping really became king, how could he restrain him? Jiang Taiping was already arrogant, and I am afraid that they will not have a good time in the future.

Feng Jingting really felt quite uncomfortable at this time, he didn't know that Jiang Taiping was going to be crowned king, and such a big matter didn't leak out at all, but his intelligence system was too backward. But who was behind him? Otherwise, Jiang Taiping would never be so sure that he could be crowned king, and had reached some kind of benefit with someone in Beijing?

Although he had a smile on his face, he was obviously a little unable to swallow.

Jiang Taiping looked at him in a trance, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, he gave him a good gift, he naturally wanted to return the favor, and see who was more uncomfortable.

Jiang Taiping said a few more words before he sat down and asked the guests to drink and enjoy themselves.

With a faint burst of elegance, a group of kabuki came out and danced in the open space beneath the water pavilion.

Enjoying the scenery and beauty, drinking and having fun, it is really a rare enjoyment in life.

Guo Wenying silently bowed her head and ate, for the sake of safety, she and Lu Weixin tried not to touch the wine, the cups containing the wine were secretly soaked, and the chopsticks were wiped and wiped with a handkerchief. Jiang Taiping is extremely insidious, if he takes the opportunity to poison him, it will be impossible to prevent it.

Feng Jingting has dealt with poisoning not a hundred times but dozens of times since he was a child, he has long been familiar with the road, and slowly asked his guards to remove all the cups and teacups, and replace them with a set of dishes and chopsticks he brought, and he brought everything with a sentence of "this king has a habit of cleanliness". Even if the owner is displeased, you can't pounce and bite someone, right?
