Chapter 213.
"According to your cousin-in-law, Mr. Li's military mansion has nothing to do with you, why did you invite Sister Sanchun this time, and she is also with Baoyu?
is also really curious, for President Li's military office this time, I thought about it for a while, but I didn't have a clue, but I always felt upset when I thought about it too much.
Wang Xifeng listened to Zhou Muqing's words, but he couldn't help but look at it, and saw that Zhou Muqing's face was also naΓ―ve, as if he was very curious, but he shook his head secretly, probably thinking too much.
"Where did you invite Sanchun and King Bao, they didn't think about settling with the virtuous concubine in the palace, the post was directly in the hands of your second brother Lian.
As for Sister Sanchun and Baoyu, it was just the old lady who forced it in, what can I do as a granddaughter-in-law. It's just that I had to take them all with me. β
Wang Xifeng said this, but suddenly complained, Mrs. Jia's eccentric eyes are enough, and now Jia Lian's motivation doesn't get her a few good words, and Cheng Ri only has her precious phoenix egg Jia Baoyu in her heart.
"I don't know what the old lady thinks, this is a normal interaction in the officialdom, and it's not a relative, and she actually wants to let herself bring Sister Lin and Baochai with her.
Sister Lin still has filial piety on her, how can I bring a mallet if I'm not a mallet? As for Baochai, it's even more impossible, although it is my aunt and cousin, but in the end it is also a merchant family.
Isn't this officialdom interaction just about identity, if I can get rid of it, I don't even bring Sanchun and Baoyu, and people in the province don't say I'm frivolous. β
Wang Xifeng's voice became quieter when he spoke, more like he was afraid that his complaining words would be heard by others, but he said it next to Zhou Muqing's ear again.
"The old lady is just eccentric, and she doesn't think that the People's General Li Mansion invited your sister and your second cousin, this is also the first time we have come to the door, but she let some irrelevant people follow. β
Regarding Wang Xifeng's whispered complaints, Zhou Muqing could only pretend not to hear them, some things Wang Xifeng could say at will, but he could only listen to Zhou Muqing, and he couldn't express any opinions.
No matter how small Wang Xifeng's voice was, Zhou Muqing heard these words in his ears, and he didn't want to distinguish between the truth and falsehood in these words, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Looking at Zhou Muqing's appearance, Wang Xifeng also felt bored with himself, but for a while, the two of them were quiet, and they could only hear the shallow breathing of the two of them, and the sound of the carriage clattering to the front.
Today's General Li Soldier's Mansion is particularly lively, because Li General Bing is about to marry his daughter, and there is even more traffic and people coming and going along the way, and people who come to add clothes are almost blocked half of the street.
Whether it is the subordinate Guan Liao who comes to tie up, or the various merchants who want to build a good relationship, or even the person who wants to pass through the woman's side in a roundabout way, so as to tie up the man's side with a higher official position, how can it be said that it is lively.
The officials in the capital are one class below the fourth rank, and the other class is above the fourth rank, and the difference between them is like that the commoners and the nobles are generally far apart.
Although Li Zongbing is the chief military officer of the grade, he also holds real power in his hands in the end, and he has also entered the ranks of the fourth-grade officials, although most of the civil and military generals are not very compatible, but there are also many people who send housekeepers and the like to give gifts.
Because Zhou Muqing and his entourage took the carriage of Rongguo Mansion, even if Rongguo Mansion is now down, but it is also first-class, and now there is a virtuous concubine in the palace who is being favored.
And Jia Lian, as the future heir of Rongguo Mansion, has entered one of the six departments, not to mention, and now he is young and has also achieved the fourth grade of the household department, and because of the relationship between the sacred heart and the sacred heart, he can be regarded as a celebrity in front of His Majesty.
When most families saw the carriage of Rongguo Mansion, they hurriedly stacked their seats, but it made Wang Xifeng feel proud, and the group could be said to be unimpeded, and they walked to the door of Mr. Li's house.
In ancient times, when I went to people to give gifts, I always paid attention to a roll call, because of the relationship between the many people who came, the voice of the roll call was also loud, and the list of names was not waiting to be out of breath.
"Rongguo Mansion sent a pair of pillows for Hehe Ruyi...... Huanghuali carved and embroidered Baizi Ruyi interstitial screen!"
I saw that the master of ceremonies who sang the salute stopped reading here, obviously changed the post again, and the expression on his face flickered inexplicably, but he never re-registered, but directly read the gift again in the name of Rongguofu.
"Ruyifang produces a rainbow pomegranate ornament, and Ruyifang produces a pair of red pomegranate heads......
Zhou Muqing only listened to the master of ceremonies who was name-calling, and read out his gifts one by one, but he did not put his name on it at all.
It seems that these gifts of his own are all counted together with Rongguofu, but this lot of gifts are given, but they don't even have a reputation.
Zhou Muqing couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this Mr. Li's Mansion is still the same shopkeeper, although people don't know the practices of Mr. Li's Mansion, but they have seen the wealth of Rongguo Mansion.
Who cares what gifts Rongguofu gave? Whether the master of ceremonies mispronounced the list, Zhou Muqing and Wang Xifeng came together, and everyone only regarded her as a girl from Rongguofu.
Wang Xifeng originally listened to the words of the singing ceremony, and wanted to correct his mistake after a while, but seeing that Zhou Muqing didn't say anything, in the end she just listened quietly and didn't say anything again.
No matter how long the gift list is, there will always be a time when it is finished, and at this time, there is also a maid from the General Military Mansion who leads everyone in.
There was only one man in the group, Jia Baoyu, and he had reached the age of thirteen or fourteen, so he was naturally led by the little maid to the male guest to settle down.
But what kind of person is our second master Bao usually, that is no longer to pity the jade, the lord who has been determined to grow up in the red powder pile since he was a child, where will he be at the mercy of a small guy.
He also thought that this was like the movement of relatives in Rongguo Mansion, and he was going to go to the female relatives in a hurry, and even played the game of rolling Sarai in General Li's Mansion.
The people in General Li's Mansion don't know the virtue of Bao Erye on weekdays, and they don't dare to be too tough for fear of offending the guests, and they don't know how to live for a while.
