Chapter 59: The Banquet I
He Suyu looked mysterious, approached her and whispered, "It's the one from the Yanyi Wang family." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Zhou Qin's face was full of surprise, and he said, "Isn't it?" I haven't heard of an edict announcing that King Yanyi has entered Beijing! If he enters Beijing without an edict, does he want to follow King Su?! β
He Suyu rolled his eyes and said, "You really don't pay attention to things outside at all, what have you been busy with lately!" I didn't see you come to me, I didn't see you go out. She paused, and then said, "The county lord of Jiacheng followed Princess Yanyi into Beijing, I heard that it was because of the birthday of the Queen Mother, the mother and daughter came to congratulate King Wei, and there were dozens of cars for the birthday ceremony alone, and everyone said that King Yanyi was so generous." β
Zhao Dezhao, the king of Yanyi, was a very special prince of the Great Wei, and he was the grandson of Emperor Taizu's relatives. When Taizu fought the country, his younger brother saved him on the battlefield, but he replaced him with his own body, Taizu was very sad, thinking that his younger brother only had one daughter, so he passed his youngest son to him as an heir.
Later, Taizu ascended the throne and felt sorry for his son, who had passed away, so he gave him the rich Wu land.
The father feels sorry for his son, but the brother may not feel sorry for the younger brother. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and he was reluctant to pay a lot of taxes in Wudi, but he didn't want people to laugh at his intolerability, so he pointed out a piece of land in Yunnan to his nephew, and was extra gracious and let him inherit the title.
Later, it became a common practice, and this branch has been crowned king.
King Yan Yi is far away, and he knows that he has no chance to win the throne, and he has always been the prince of peace and security, never pinching the tip to be strong, and when he meets the emperor what he wants, he wants to do ten, which is very pleasing to the people in power.
What is even more reassuring to the boss is that now that he is old, he only has a daughter under his knees, and this large fief will soon be recovered, which is really a good prince.
It stands to reason that such a daughter should be very docile, but strangely, his only daughter Zhao Huan is extremely domineering and has an arrogant personality.
Zhou Qin had never seen Zhao Huan, but he had heard of her great achievements for a long time. It is said that she was only five years old when she first entered Beijing, and she was carried all the way into the palace by King Yanyi, and she cried as soon as she put it down, and no one coaxed her, and then it was the first emperor who hugged her before laughing.
On the one hand, the first emperor liked her to fall in love, and on the other hand, he had the intention to use King Yanyi as a faΓ§ade, thinking that this was just a female baby, so he generously gave the title of "Jiacheng". not only has a title, but also an excellent fief, but it is slightly worse than Zhao Zhu, the daughter of his in-laws.
Later, King Yanyi returned to Yunnan, and Zhao Huan was kept by Queen Tian at that time to live in the capital for half a year, saying that he stayed in the capital, but in fact, most of the time he was still playing with Zhao Zhu in the palace, and rarely came out to play with the girl in Beijing. However, it was these few outings that scratched two girls from the Hou family, and kicked a little daughter from the squire's mansion into a half-frozen lake in the winter.
Now that so much time has passed, I don't know if this one is still in the same temper.
If she still has that violent temper, not only Yang Miaofang has to be careful, but other people who go to the banquet also have to pay attention to their actions.
Zhou Qin thought about it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "It's only April now, and there is still half a year before the Queen Mother's birthday, and the birthday is not now, right?" β
He Suyu pursed his lips and smiled, "The county lord of Jiacheng is nineteen years old this year, and there are no county horses yet!" In that ghost place in Yunnan, where are there any good people, you have to come to the capital to find it. β
Zhou Qin's heart sank.
She didn't remember that in the previous life, there was a county lord of Jiacheng who entered Beijing.
Could it be that because my brother and grandmother survived in this life, many things are different from before? I hope it doesn't have a big impact.
She changed her clothes and went to Mrs. Zhao's side with He Suyu to use breakfast.
When Mrs. Zhao saw He Suyu, she happily beckoned her to eat, praised her for being beautiful and sensible, praised her for being lively and eye-catching, and praised her for being well-dressed, and praised He Suyu for saying goodbye to Zhou Qin when she went out.
The two said goodbye to Mrs. Zhao and met Zhou Yanzhi on the verandah.
Zhou Yanzhi greeted the two with a smile, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Zhou Qindao: "I almost forgot, help me bring it to Yang Shencun, the eldest man of the Yang family, saying that I have something to do today, and I can't go." β
Yang Shencun is Yang Miaofang's elder brother and Yang Shu's only son.
Zhou Qin took out the letterhead and shook it open to read the content of the letter, He Suyu was not good at peeking, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity, and asked Zhou Yanzhi: "Why did Brother Zhou reply to the post today?" β
She pretended to be casual, but she didn't know that her bony eyes had betrayed her.
After many years of friendship, Zhou Yanzhi has nothing to avoid He Suyu, he said: "I don't like this kind of banquet where men and women want to make a drama and make poems and chants, the first few times I replied to the post early, but Yang Shencun wanted to come to the door to invite, and it was not good-looking to push around, I simply didn't say whether I would go or not this time, and then explain it to him at the point, but it saved a lot of tongue effort." β
Zhou Qin finished reading the letter that was circling around, stuffed it back again, put the letter away, and said with a smile: "Brother, I will deliver the letter for you, what benefit do you give me?" β
Zhou Yanzhi shook his head helplessly and sighed: "You didn't send anything here from me, but you are still playing tricks with me here." He added, "I heard that there were a lot of people at the banquet today, and it was chaotic, so you came back early." β
After a while, the two of them were allowed to leave.
He Suyu was bored to ride alone, got into Zhou Qin's carriage, and said in an envious tone as soon as she got in the car: "It's the same brother, why is it so far away, Brother Zhou can see through the boredom of Yang Miaofang's banquet at a glance......" She was halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped as if she thought of something, bit her lip, and asked carefully: "Aunt Xian, if, I mean, if there is such a person, he is not as good as your brother, but the family conditions are still passable, and the person is very good, he likes you, will your grandmother agree?" β
Zhou Qin smiled slightly and asked, "Who did you ask for this?" β
He Suyu snorted and turned the page over.
The carriage soon arrived at Yang's mansion, and before entering the door, two old ladies greeted them with a smile and led them to the back garden. The two of them walked all the way to introduce the origins of various places in this mansion to Zhou Qin and the others, He Suyu was impatient to listen, so he asked, "How many people have arrived today?" β
A mother-in-law replied with a smile: "It's more than halfway through, and the two of them are talking about it." β
Zhou Qin took He Suyu's hand and walked through a large path of flowers, and when he turned a corner, he saw a small stream winding in front of him.
