After Sheng Weiqiao cleaned up, he asked Mingrong Sleeping Crane to handle official business in the front hall, so he went to the inter-courtyard where Xuan Yu Feng lived, and discussed with her about giving invitations to the local leaders, and Xuan Yu Feng said: "We are new to the city, where do we know what people in this place are worth inviting? ”

But the maid who went to ask Wu Da to be in charge of the house didn't find anyone, and came back after a while to pray, saying: "Wu Da and the left and right female guards are not there, saying that they are going out of the city to meet the military division." ”

"It seems that this Jishan thief is really the one who has the idea?" Xuan Yu Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Otherwise, how can there be a reason for the big boss to come out to greet him personally?"

Sheng Weiqiao said: "That military advisor is the same generation of Wu Da's father, Wu Da's family can inherit her father's throne as a daughter, and Bacheng has also received his support, and it is common sense to be respectful to him." ”

After all, the Jishan thieves have been submitted, don't care who was in charge before, they will always let the sleeping crane be the master in the future, and the aunt and nephew didn't say much about this, so they asked someone to prepare some melon and fruit ice drinks to relieve the heat: "When the military division arrives in a while, whether they come to the yamen or not, they will send it to others to cool off the heat." ”

Fang arranged this matter, and someone came to tell him, saying that Yizhou didn't drive Yu Liang's wife Gao to see him.

"Is this off-the-shelf snake coming?" Xuan Yu Feng said when he heard this, "Invite her to the flower hall to serve tea, and let's change our clothes and go over." ”

The two of them went into the inner room to change their dresses, and added two hairpin rings than usual, and when they arrived at the flower hall, they saw a woman in her thirties holding a tea bowl, sitting cautiously at the bottom, and looking at the door frequently.

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng coming together, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl and got up to greet him: "The concubine has seen the princess of the county, and I have seen Mrs. Feng!"

Sheng Weiqiao said "no courtesy", helped him to sit with Xuanyu Feng, and asked this Gao to sit too, and the maid changed the tea again, Sheng Weiqiao greeted Gao while looking at her: This lady is fair-skinned, beautiful, and slightly plump, but the woman at this age is not ugly, but there is some enchanting meaning.

She wore a peacock green bottom embroidered with jasmine flowers with narrow sleeves, a jade-colored Rui cloud pattern liuxian skirt tied underneath, a cross bun, a silver gilt filigree jade peony hairpin, a copper gilded dotted emerald inlay stone descendant Wandai head flower, with powder on her face, according to the opinion of Chang'an, the rouge was a little too rich, but it was probably the fashionable makeup in Western Xinjiang?

"Yizhou is remote, and it is really a blessing for the border to be grazed by the king of the county. After the Gao family respectfully exchanged polite words with Sheng Weiqiao, he made it clear that he wanted to invite Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng to the largest restaurant in the city for a banquet, "The concubine and a few sisters who often come and go, chat about preparing thin wine, and ask the princess of the county to appreciate her face!"

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "This is really a coincidence! I just told my aunt that we just came here, and there are no people we know, in order to have a talking companion in the future, I plan to hold a banquet, and at the same time, I also get to know some local women!"

Gao Shi hurriedly said: "The princess of the county has a hard journey, how dare she still work for you?"

"It's okay, anyway, there are people below to handle it, and I'm just looking at it. Sheng Weiqiao said, "It's just that we came, we are not familiar with the place, and we don't know who to invite, if Mrs. Gao is not busy, why don't you help with the details?"

The Gao family came to visit at this time, and was originally recommended by the women here in Yizhou to test Sheng Weiqiao's personality and temperament. At this moment, seeing that Sheng Weiqiao took the initiative to set up a banquet in the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion, and he had to help consult the guest candidates, he was overjoyed, and he agreed to it.

Originally, this kind of thing didn't matter for a few days at night, but Sheng Weiqiao was worried about the resettlement of the victims, and acted resolutely, so he called Jinli and Juli to come over to record the list on the spot, and let Gao leave the house for dinner before letting go, and finally finalized the selection of guests.

After sending off Gao's family, both aunts and nephews felt very tired, at this time Rong Sleeping Crane came in, and said with a smile: "Aunt and the good girl have worked hard, I want to go back to the backyard in the afternoon, I heard that Mrs. Gao is here, and I thought it would be done later, who knows that I will wait until now." ”

Sheng Weiqiao said: "You came just in time, we discussed some things on the way from Changting to Yizhou City before, and you happened to come over to listen." ”

After saying this, he suddenly remembered and asked left and right, "Master Wu said that he was going to greet the military division, did he welcome him?"

"People have already arrived. Before Silkworm Yue and the others could answer, Rong Sleeping Crane had already smiled and said, "I still have lunch with me, and I have already gone to the other courtyard to settle down at this time." ”

Sheng Weiqiao asked curiously, "What kind of person is that military advisor?"

"A few years older than my father-in-law, and he has a gentle temperament. Rong Sleeping Crane said, "It doesn't look like the military advisor of the Jishan thief, but it has the meaning of the master of the academy...... I look at his literary talent, and it's no problem to take the Jinshi exam. ”

Xuan Yu Feng said: "It seems that this Jishan thief is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

However, after all, the Jishan thieves have been in the eyes of Huan Guanlan, and they are also inextricably linked with the Western Xinjiang Army, so it is not surprising that such a talent appears.

The three of them discussed it a little, and then talked about the discussion on the road yesterday, Rong Sleeping Crane was very much in favor after hearing it, and said with a smile Sheng Weiqiao: "The princess of the county is becoming more and more capable now, and I will soon be able to live a leisurely and good life of enjoying flowers and birds all day long." ”

Sheng Weiqiao smiled: "Do you dare to rest? Aren't you afraid that people will say that you eat soft rice?"

"The person who says this must be ugly!" Rong Sleeping Crane said calmly, "I am jealous of someone like me who can eat with his face!"

Xuan Yu Feng said: "Mi Zhen is a person who is really capable, so he will not pay attention to those nonsense discussions...... But you're a good kid. ”

After laughing for a while, he looked at the list provided by the Gao clan to Rong Sleeping Crane, "Do you see that there is anyone wrong with this, or who is missing?"

Rong Sleeping Crane took it and looked at it, and changed a few names slightly: "That's it." ”

So Sheng Weiqiao immediately ordered the maid to write a post, and posted it today and tomorrow, planning to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow. This situation is a bit rushed, and the steward who is in charge of organizing the banquet came to her to complain: "We just arrived, and we didn't have time to take out all kinds of things, and we just started to look for honest and reliable people over there." If you are going to hold a banquet at this time, I am afraid that there will inevitably be omissions. ”

"I said that I invited the people here to recognize me, but in fact they came to see me. Sheng Weiqiao waved his hand, "At that time, how many people can put their minds on eating and drinking? In order not to fall into the dignity of my Mizhen County Palace, we can make a few rare tricks in the western Xinjiang to make uncommon dry goods such as bird's nest, shark fin, and mountain mushrooms that we brought!"

After thinking about it, he ordered Tongyue to tell the family team, "Let them arrange some singing and dancing for the occasion, and then they will appear on the stage." ”

At the end, he asked Xuan Yufeng, who had been standing by and watching, "Auntie, do you think there are any omissions?"

"This kind of feast, even if you haven't ordered it personally, you have seen it since you were a child, and you still ask me what to do?" Xuan Yu Feng straightened his sideburns and said with little concern, "It's just a matter of going back and forth, anyway, your status is the highest at this time, and if there is really something slack, people will definitely not dare to mention it." ”

Sheng Weiqiao then said to the steward: "Although it is a hasty preparation of the banquet, the others are okay, and the people below must be selective." Don't let people say I'm arrogant and domineering, and ruin the reputation of our house!"

The steward hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, most of the people we came here this time are all children of families who play the rules of elementary school, and there is no such frivolous bastard who specializes in causing trouble for the master's family." ”

"You go!" Sheng Weiqiao nodded, sent the steward, and was stretching his waist, planning to play two games of chess with Xuanyu Feng for recreation, but at this time, a little maid ran over in a panic, saying that it was not very comfortable to look at the fifth day of the first month.

At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng both stood up and hurriedly went to see, although they kept saying that the fifth day of the first month was just a leopard, but Rong Sleeping Crane was a "fifth brother", even if he didn't really look at Sheng Weiqiao's uncle, how could he be lazy?

After arriving at the place, I saw that the fifth day of the first month was listless lying on the brocade felt, although there were no obvious symptoms, but there was no energy. The food in front of it was a gilded carved caricaf plate, with large pieces of boiled meat and some jam drizzled on it, and a large bowl of boiled fish soup next to it, which looked very clean, and did not slack off because it was just for the leopard to eat.

However, at this moment, there was not a single neat tooth mark, apparently not moving at all.

"Has the doctor come to see it?" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help frowning when he saw this, squatted down and touched Chu Wu's head, Chu Wu opened his eyes and glanced at her, didn't make a sound, and closed his eyes again after a while, looking very tired.

The maid was about to answer, when she heard a rush of footsteps outside, and followed the doctor to walk in with the medicine sachet, and saw that Sheng Weiqiao and Xuanyu Feng were there, so she hurriedly came up to greet her, and finally looked at the fifth year of the middle school and was embarrassed: "The little one has only learned how to treat people, but he has never learned how to treat the fifth master!"

"Anyway, you know better than we do. Xuan Yu Feng said, "You just have to watch, no matter what the result is, Mizhen and they are not unreasonable people." ”

The doctor was relieved, and stepped forward to grope for the fifth day of the year for a while, and it was obvious that he was actually quite afraid that the fifth day of the year would suddenly give him a claw, no wonder, although the size of the adult black panther is not as large as that of the lion tiger, it is enough to deter ordinary people.

Sheng Weiqiao noticed that he hurriedly stepped forward and gently pressed Chu Wu's paws, suggesting that the leopard would not pose any threat to him.

After the doctor settled down, he checked it again, and asked the people who took care of the fifth day of the junior high school, and finally concluded that the road was too bumpy, and he was not accustomed to the water and soil in Western Xinjiang.

Sheng Weiqiao asked worriedly, "Can that be cured?"

The doctor considered the wording: "If this situation is human, the small one will be cured, but the fifth master ......"

"Let's ask Mi Zhen!" Xuan Yu Feng said at this time, "After all, I grew up with Mi Zhen, and Mi Zhen has a good idea." ”

After Rong Sleeping Crane heard about this, he immediately threw down his business and rushed over, after he arrived, whether to treat it on the fifth day of the first month, how to treat it, these are naturally what he said.

However, Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng were worried, and they didn't leave, and they tossed for most of the day, and at night, they drank some medicine on the fifth day of the first month, and looked a little more energetic, but Rong Sleeping Crane still couldn't rest assured, and specially called the most trusted Gongsun Xi to come and guard, and only then turned back to the back hall with Sheng Weiqiao step by step.

After returning to the back hall, Sheng Weiqiao comforted him: "The fifth day of junior high school is already much better, and I can recover in a while." ”

Rong Sleeping Crane rarely looked depressed, and there was some regret: "If I knew earlier, I would have let the fifth brother stay in Chang'an temporarily." Even if the grandfather and the others will not live in Chang'an for a long time, they will not have the time to help take care of the fifth brother. But the Xu family should be willing to help, and Ying Jiang is also familiar with the fifth brother. ”

"But I miss you on the fifth day of the first month. Sheng Weiqiao said, "Have you forgotten that you didn't bring it the first time you went north, but after you went back, it almost washed the whole garden with blood and gave you food? ”

Rong Sleepy Crane sighed: "Look at Ming'er's fifth brother, if something is wrong, you have to ask for talent, I just don't know if there are such capable people in this remote place in Western Xinjiang?"

This night, because of the fifth day of the new year, the great assassin Shifu didn't sleep well.

So early the next morning, Rong Sleeping Crane rushed to the courtyard of the fifth day of the new year to take a look, this leopard can not be said to have been alive and well, but the situation is much better than yesterday evening, looking at the recovery, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to be careless, personally explained to the doctor and Gongsun Xi must be attentive, and then went to the front hall to deal with government affairs.

Xuan Yu Feng said to Sheng Weiqiao: "I think this fifth day of the first month can't be offended than your real uncle." ”

At least if the prince Rong Qingchu fell ill, Xuan Yu Feng didn't think that Rong Sleeping Crane would be nervous like this.

Sheng Weiqiao rarely grabbed his aunt's handle, and said with a smile: "Does my aunt want me to compete with it for favor? I don't have fluffy fur, fangs, and claws!"

"Remind you to be better on the fifth day of the new year in the future, what do you want?" Xuan Yu Feng glanced at her, and was about to speak, but the people below came to tell her, saying that Wu Da was the master of Wu and accompanied the military advisor to visit.

Originally, this should have been received by Rong Sleeping Crane, but the next person said: "The county king is busy over there, and the master Wu wants to take the military advisor to meet the princess of the county." ”
