Mengfu is one of the best Zhong Ming Ding food homes in Chang'an, and the mansion is located in the southwest of Chang'an City.

When Mu Bai and Jiang Mei arrived at the Meng Mansion, they saw a young son come up to pay their respects.

"In Xia Du Shiyuan, I have seen the general!" The person who came was gentle and polite, he didn't know Mu Bai, but he knew from the heroic aura around Mu Bai that he was the general of the Huan army.

Mu Bai naturally didn't know Du Shiyuan, but people took the initiative to come forward to say hello, how could he not happily return the salute, so he waved his hand, "It turned out to be Du Gongzi, in the next Mu Bai, fortunately!" Fortunately! ”

"General Mu is polite, the general's martial posture is admired!" Du Shiyuan smiled freely, looking at Mu Bai's eyes full of appreciation, he was in the north, and he was naturally most easily attracted by this kind of bold and refreshing place in the field. And he himself has always loved to make friends, and just after a glance, he felt that Mu Bai was different, so he stepped forward to salute.

Du Shiyuan has a broad and chic temperament, but also modest and polite, with the elegance of the southern scholar clan and the pride of a northern man, Jiang Mei, who stood aside and looked carefully, secretly appreciated. Although this was the first time she had seen Du Shiyuan, she knew a lot about the Du family in Chang'an.

Du Shiyuan's father Du Kunyu is the head of the Chang'an Shi clan, more than ten years ago, when Beihe was guarding Chang'an, he had a heart-to-heart with him, Du Shi was willing to go out of the mountain as a leader, has been assisting Beihe to deal with the assessment and appointment and dismissal of officials in the counties under the jurisdiction of the Western Capital. The Meng family is second only to the Du family, the Du family is in charge of the government, and the Meng family is in charge of civil affairs, but all the tax and household affairs are handled by Meng Qingyan. With the support of his two families, Beihe is very comfortable in managing the western capital.

Therefore, if Xiao Moheng wants to sit firmly in Chang'an, he must get the support of the two of them, and it is precisely because of this that Jiang Mei designed to pull the Du family and the Meng family into the game that day.

Jiang Mei saw that this Du Gongzi had an extraordinary bearing, and she had the intention of making friends in her heart, so she also stepped forward and bowed and said: "I heard that Du Gongzi is known as the first son of Chang'an, and when I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true, and I was in Xia Jiangmei." I've seen Childe! ”

Du Shiyuan had already noticed Jiang Mei beside Mu Bai. At first glance, I thought she was just a delicate woman, but as soon as Jiang Mei spoke, the smiling expression and the elegant and elegant temperament made Du Shiyuan stunned like a cool breeze. He has seen countless beautiful women. There are pretty and lively ones. There are gentle and generous, charming and enchanting, and beautiful and refined. In short, he has never seen a woman, under the glow of this moonlight, when it is quiet, a white shirt is like an elegant bright moon, and when it moves, it is like a fairy who is out of the world, and more importantly, Jiang Mei is free and easy and elegant, and let him see her chic and indifferent.

It was only at this moment that Du Shiyuan's heart was pounding, and he looked at Jiang Mei stupidly for a long time before he came back to his senses and said: "It is Shiyuan's luck to know Miss Jiang today!" The voice was low and slow, with a hint of graceful magnetism.

There was a special meaning in Du Shiyuan's eyes when he looked at her, but this was something Jiang Mei didn't notice, because at this moment, the housekeeper of the Meng Mansion had already hurriedly greeted her, "It turns out that Du Gongzi and General Mu have arrived, please enter the mansion to rest!" "The housekeeper of the Meng Mansion is called Meng Qi, and he is Meng Qingyan's confidant, he has already met His Royal Highness the Seventh and the generals with his master, so he knows Mu Bai.

Du Shiyuan was polite, and hurriedly said: "General Mu, Miss Jiang, please!" "This is in Chang'an, so he is also half a master.

Mu Bai didn't mind, so he walked forward steadily, and Jiang Mei behind him gave in to Du Shiyuanqian, and finally the two entered the house at the same time.

When a few people stepped into the Meng Mansion with their front feet, Gao Chi followed in with the Jiangzhou generals on their back feet. Meng Qi was busy for a while, beckoning several people to take their seats.

So, the owner of the Meng Mansion introduced the generals of the Huan Army to know the officials of Chang'an, and there was a bustle and excitement in the mansion. And on such an occasion, Jiang Mei, as a woman, naturally did not mix, but Mu Bai and Gao Chi were laughing, and the corner of her eyes glanced at her from time to time, as if she was afraid that she would fall and touch, which made Jiang Mei, who was drinking happily, cry and laugh.

"Where's Shu Die? Why didn't you see her people? Jiang Mei asked Ruoyun while looking around, looking for the arrogant woman.

"She's here, she's here, she's going to play with the young lady of Meng's mansion!" Ruoyun ate the melon and fruit in a daze, and said playfully.

Jiang Mei nodded, thinking that Shu Die had been in Chang'an for so many years, and she was not familiar with that street and alley, not to mention that she was quite famous in Chang'an, so it was normal to know these eldest ladies. Today, because Luo Jue was busy with the affairs of Yiyun Pavilion, she brought Ruoyun, Jiuzhu and Jing Yan to the banquet.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mei looked up at Jing Yan, who was standing beside Mu Bai and talking happily with the sons and gentlemen of Chang'an, and saw that he was talking and laughing freely and with a graceful demeanor, and a trace of relief and happiness surged in her heart.

The people around her, if you talk about long-sleeved dancers, Rong He and Jing Yan are second to none. Rong and Shen are better at managing internal affairs, and Jing Yan's resourcefulness is more than Rong He, he previously assisted Murong Xi to successfully control Emperor Yan, and then captured Murong Yue, this series of planning and scheduling can be seen that he has a great talent for strategizing.

It is believed that soon, the army will march eastward, Jiang Mei wants Mu Bai to stay in Chang'an, and at this time, it is very suitable to let Jing Yan stay by Mu Bai's side and assist him in taking care of Chang'an's military affairs. With Mu Bai in Chang'an, the west can resist the invasion of Rouran, the south can lead troops to attack Tang Shu, and Jingyan is in Chang'an, so all civil affairs in Chang'an can be worry-free.

Just as she was contemplating her eyebrows, tonight's protagonist appeared, Xiao Moheng, who was dressed in a crimson royal suit, accompanied by Meng Qingyan, stepped into the mansion steadily, and a group of generals and officials of the Chang'an Shi clan stood up to greet each other.

"I'm waiting to meet His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince! Your Highness Hail! The crowd shouted in unison.

Xiao Moheng slowly paced up the steps, turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, please take a seat!" "Xiao Moheng is graceful and elegant, which makes people look awe.

After Xiao Moheng took his seat, everyone could sit down according to the order, Meng Qingyan and Du Kunyu led the officials of Chang'an to sit under Xiao Moheng's right hand, and Mu Bai and Gao Chi led the generals to sit under his left hand. Gao Chi was originally higher than Mu Bai in terms of position, but Gao Chi was older than Mu Bai and himself. repeatedly asked Mu Bai to sit in the first place, and both of them were informal people, so they sat like this. Jiang Mei and Jing Yan sat behind the two of them.

Let the meritorious military advisors of the whole army sit in the back, which made the generals in front a little uneasy, but Jiang Mei is not wearing men's clothes today, so she is not qualified for this.

Jiang Mei naturally didn't care, but if she really wore men's clothes tonight, she would have less trouble, because at this moment, Du Shiyuan, who was sitting opposite, almost never left her eyes. Of course. Jiang Mei, who has always been a late aware, naturally doesn't know it.

After everyone sat down. Meng Qingyan, the owner of this mansion, was still standing, and he arched his hand with a smile: "Your Highness, generals, lords. In the past, the Central Plains overturned. The royal family moved south. For a hundred years, our old clan has been looking forward to the Central Plains in the north of the Great Huan Wangshi, but today, the Seven Highnesses are wise and martial. Wise and far-sighted, with a group of brave and loyal generals, swept away foreign races, cleared Guanzhong, and restored China, such a world-shattering achievement, unprecedented, my Chang'an Shi people can return to the imperial court, His Royal Highness Quan Nai, I Meng Qingyan today for the people of Chang'an to give His Royal Highness a cup! ”

After saying that, he poured a large glass of wine, bowed to Xiao Moheng first, and then raised his head and drank it all.

Everyone wept and sighed when they heard this, and they all got up and raised their glasses to Xiao Moheng.

Xiao Moheng hurriedly stood up and glanced at everyone, Meng Qingyan's words not only ignited the remembrance of everyone under the eaves, but also spoke to Xiao Moheng's heart.

He raised his head and said in a high-pitched voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, this king thanks you for your help, with you, the people of Yongliang counties can live and work in peace and contentment!" Xiao Moheng drank a glass first, everyone accompanied a glass, and then he raised his glass and continued: "All the generals who followed this king to death, with your courageous resistance, there is today's merit, this king respects you a glass, tonight Lord Meng has this sincerity, you don't get drunk and don't return!" ”

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

"Haha!"

The men who killed decisively on the battlefield naturally did not wait for a lie at the banquet, Xiao Moheng ordered, and everyone drank bitterly, the scholars in the south were elegant and arrogant, and they did not like to drink with these reckless generals, but these big clans in the northwest were mostly bold people, and they could chat with these generals, so the scene soon became enthusiastic.

The smart Meng Qingyan didn't let everyone drink dry, but let a dancer play the piano and dance.

While drinking and laughing with everyone, Xiao Moheng glanced at the white figure from time to time, and saw her smiling with Ruoyun and Jing Yan beside her, and her heart was also happy.

After a few rounds of drinking, everyone's interest was much higher, and there was no longer the previous restrained attitude, Meng Qingyan saw this, and glanced at the housekeeper behind him, and Meng Qi retreated after understanding.

Meng Qingyan smiled at Xiao Moheng and said: "Your Highness, I have a little girl, who is very good at music and dancing, Your Highness deigns to come to my mansion, it is an honor for my mansion, and the little girl is willing to dance for His Highness and cheer for His Highness!" ”

As soon as Meng Qingyan's words came out, some people with eyes understood Meng Qingyan's intentions, but someone's face darkened, that was Du Kunyu next to Meng Qingyan, Meng's move was clearly to envelop Xiao Moheng, he probably set up this banquet tonight with such a thought, Du's status in Chang'an has always been slightly higher than Meng's, if he can borrow his daughter to climb Xiao Moheng, then Meng's limelight will definitely overshadow his own family in the future. In fact, when Xiao Moheng's soldiers broke Chang'an, Du Kunyu was not without this idea, but he had several sons in his house, and he only had a daughter who was less than ten years old when he was over half a hundred, so obviously it was not the time.

However, Du Kunyu was quickly relieved, because he believed that with his Du family's ability and strength, Xiao Moheng could not underestimate him.

Jiang Mei couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, since she entered the mansion, she has secretly observed Meng Qingyan and Du Kunyu, she has to say that Meng Qingyan is obviously a scheming person, in contrast, Du Kunyu is more serious, she has already inquired about the various families in Chang'an, since she knows that Du Kunyu has been in charge of the Western Capital since she was in charge, she is fair and selfless, and the officials are clear, and they are quite supported by all parties, so to a certain extent, Jiang Mei prefers officials like Du Kunyu.

Of course, Minghui is like Xiao Moheng, how he doesn't know Meng Qingyan's thoughts, after he came to Chang'an, he naturally also carefully understood the situation in Chang'an, and he is also very clear about the situation of the Meng family and the Du family, naturally, as a king who wants to dominate the world, he can subordinate him, and skillful officials are also indispensable, although he admires Du Kunyu's style, but he does not have the slightest aversion to Meng's flattery.

"Lord Meng's daughter is willing to bend down and dedicate her skills, how can this king have no reason, so that everyone sitting here can also feast their eyes!" Xiao Moheng replied elegantly, his lips hooked into a smile,

"Your Highness!" Meng Qingyan bowed.

"Haha... When we are stained with the light of His Royal Highness, I can't wait to see Miss Meng's beauty! Du Shiyuan didn't mind the Meng family taking the lead, but was happy to see it.

However, when he said the word Fangzi, his eyes were on Jiang Mei.

Because it was a scorching summer, Meng Qingyan placed the banquet in the courtyard in front of the hall, and at the same time specially instructed Shang to set up a high platform in front of Xiao Moheng.

After Meng Qi got Meng Qingyan's instructions, he immediately commanded the subordinates in the house to set up the stage, at this time, everyone saw that there were six vertical drums around the stage, everyone saw this posture, but they were a little secretly surprised, what kind of dance is this Miss Meng going to dance?

After a while, everyone saw a maid put on a guqin, and then the maid stepped down, a woman stepped onto the stage, only to see her wearing a green emerald cigarette shirt, scattered flowers and mist and green grass long skirt, wearing a thin veil of emerald water, eyebrows without dotting, lips without painting and Zhu, skin like condensation, like a green lotus fairy, this woman is no one else, it is Shu Die. Shu Die Yingying gave a salute to Xiao Moheng on the steps, "The little woman Shu Die has seen His Royal Highness, and tonight Shu Die is willing to help Miss Meng dance with the piano!" Shu Die's long skirt lingered behind her, and her posture was graceful and moving, which made the generals who had not seen a woman for many months stunned.

"Girl excuse me!" Xiao Moheng smiled lightly, but at this time, Jiang Mei, who was sitting behind Mu Bai, was hiding her face and smiling, and Ruoyun accidentally laughed out loud, successfully attracting Xiao Moheng's gaze, Jiang Mei saw him looking at herself, and immediately coughed embarrassedly and held back her laughter.

As for why Jiang Mei and Ruoyun laughed, it was really because Shu Die was a free and easy woman on weekdays, and today she was so delicate and delicate, and the two of them were not used to it, so they laughed.

However, the person who went out of Xiaoyuelou was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Shu Die was willing to play the piano for this Miss Meng, which made Jiang Mei a little surprised, Shu Die's temperament she knew very well, few people could get into her eyes, so Jiang Mei thought that this Miss Meng must be extraordinary, otherwise how could Shu Die accept her.
