The front yard of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion was full of friends and was very lively, but unlike the cheerful and relaxed girls in the backyard, the liveliness in the front yard was a little unusual.

Before the opening of the banquet, King Gong took a few officials, laughed with a generous gift and entered the door, and said loudly: "Today's name is full of Shengjing, and the county lord of Chenshuang who is deeply loved by the royal brother and the queen mother, this king has the cheekiness to ask for a cup of wine to drink!" ”

An Shiting's brothers hurriedly greeted him when they heard the sound.

When the guests present saw King Gong who came uninvited, their expressions couldn't help but be solemn, and the atmosphere instantly became a little tense.

Most of the people who came over today were relatives and friends of the An family, and the An family supported King Jin, but I think most of the guests present were from King Jin's faction, so the appearance of King Gong was not strange.

You must know that since two years ago, after the blood confession, King Gong and King Jin have risen from the disagreement in the secret to the disagreement on the surface, and the two factions often fought for each other in the early dynasty, until the King of Jin was sent to garrison Hengji Island and took away a large number of officials of his faction, and the court got a little peace, but the King of Jin was not there, and the King Gong faction in the court gradually had a tendency to stand out.

But in any case, the guests come to the door, and on such a festive day, Anjia must not turn people away.

It's just that the guests welcomed into the door, and how to arrange the seats made it difficult for the An Shiting brothers.

The seats of the guests are arranged in advance, and the seating order is also particular, and it is really difficult to arrange such an embarrassing and distinguished guest who suddenly appears.

When he was embarrassed, King Gong said with a smile: "This king and Brother Xu haven't seen each other for a long time, Brother Xu has just come back, and I also ask Lord An to make it convenient for our brothers to take the opportunity to get together." ”

It's hard to pretend you don't understand such obvious hints.

An Shiting hesitantly looked at King Jin at the main table in the east.

King Jin bowed his head coldly and said, "Why not? This king also wants to get together with the six emperor brothers. ”

An Shiting understood and personally invited King Gong to sit down at the main table.

Several officials who came with King Gong were greeted by An Erye and others and sat down at other tables.

Sitting at the table of King Jin were several uncles of the Meng family, Wei Guogong, Zhou Yuhan, as well as Zhong Siye and Xiang Ye.

Zhong Siye secretly smacked his tongue, and whispered to Xiang Ye and bit his ear: "You nobles and officials with great power are gathered together, and it is really stressful for me, the common people, to be mixed in the middle. ”

Isn't it, two princes, two generals with heavy armies, and two leaders among civil officials, it can be said that the elite of the imperial elite are all here.

Xiang Ye did not move as if he were a mountain and thought to himself, and said, "I didn't see where you were under pressure, but I saw a little schadenfreude." ”

Zhong Siye shrugged his shoulders and said that he was innocent.

Xiang Ye glanced at him with a smile and said, "If you are really uncomfortable, I will accompany you to sit at the table with Boss Xie and Mr. Yi. ”

As An Ruolan's father-in-law, Zhong Siye is half the master of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion today, and he originally wanted to hold another wine and treat for his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, but Mrs. An and An Shiting and his wife both said that he was his own family and persuaded him to invite his friends over.

It was difficult to resist the hospitality, and Zhong Siye had no choice but to invite friends who really played well.

Master Zhong also remembered An Ruolan's courtesy, and sent someone to send a gift, Uncle Zhong has always been a thoughtful and rigorous person, and naturally he did not fall behind, even Zhong Sanye also gave a courtesy, only Zhong Erye did not have such a thing.

Zhong Siye thought that the brother's relationship was weakened anyway, and if he didn't come, he wouldn't come, and he didn't care.

Straight to the point.

Hearing Xiang Ye's words, Zhong Siye nodded inscrutablely, but he didn't move.

Xiang Ye smiled.

King Gong sat down steadily, sat beside King Jin, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu really cherishes the county lord of Chenshuang, and he rushed back thousands of miles to participate in her ceremony, which is moving." ”

The corners of King Jin's lips were slightly hooked, and there was no smile in his eyes, and he said: "The royal brother is joking, the younger brother has no daughter, only Lan'er is such a niece, the so-called love house and Wu, I have a deep affection for the princess, and naturally I love the princess's niece a little more." ”

Hearing this, King Gong smiled meaningfully, took a sip of a glass of wine, and said: "Brother Xu is really magnanimous, if this king's wife is run to the door of the mansion to insult and slander, this king will never let go, let alone care and love the daughter of the offending person." ”

King Jin's expression stiffened slightly.

Zhou Yuhan smiled faintly and said gently: "What His Royal Highness King Gong said, the grievances of the previous generation are the affairs of the first generation, how can they involve the younger generation?" What's more, Princess Jin has always loved the sister of Mrs. An Wu, even now, she is still caring, since she doesn't even care about herself, why should King Jin be embarrassed by the younger generation, you say this is the truth? ”

King Gong's face darkened when he was blocked, and after a pause, he sneered: "Lord Zhou is well-known in the court, and no one is biased, how can you help King Jin speak today?" ”

"The court is a courtier, naturally only do what he thinks he should do, but the court is just an ordinary person, His Royal Highness King Gong should be very clear, he is a person who protects his shortcomings, and King Jin, as his brother-in-law, naturally wants to help each other." Zhou Yuhan's face did not change.

King Gong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou really knows the difference. ”

Zhou Yuhan smiled silently.

King Gong's eyes sank, turned to Wei Guogong, smiled and raised his glass: "I haven't congratulated Wei Guogong for asking for a good wife for his son." ”

Wei Guogong raised his glass in return: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness." ”

After drinking this cup, King Gong toasted each other with Meng Chengyan and the brothers, as well as Xiang Ye, and finally he poured a full glass of wine, faced Zhong Siye, and said with a friendly smile: "I have long heard of Zhong Siye's name, and it is really as rumored that it is a character like Yushu Lanzhi, but this king has not been able to find the opportunity to get acquainted with one or two, and today it is a coincidence, and I hope that Zhong Siye will appreciate his face and drink this cup with this king." ”

Zhong Siye naturally didn't dare to shirk it, and said with a shallow smile: "The prince has praised it falsely, Zhong is just a mediocre businessman. ”

"Fourth Master Zhong is humble." King Gong's smile deepened a little, "The maritime trade route you opened will add a lot of inventory to the Dayong treasury every year." ”

Power and money have complemented each other since ancient times, and if you want to be in power, capital is indispensable.

Zhong Siye heard what King Gong said, so he only smiled indifferently and said: "Although Zhong is incompetent, he is still a great citizen in the end, and it is Zhong's honor and pride to serve the country." ”

"Fourth Master Zhong's loyalty is commendable." King Gong smiled, and was about to speak, Zhong Siye raised his glass to congratulate King Jin: "Zhong heard that the good things in the Jin Palace's mansion were coming, and at first I thought it was a rumor, but now I see that the prince has rushed back from thousands of miles, it must be wrong, Zhong is here to congratulate first." ”

Drink it all down.

King Jin and Zhong Siye can be said to be a relationship between each other and hating each other, and they must not have a good face every time they meet, but now that they have a common enemy, the two stand together as a matter of course.

Hearing this, King Jin smiled cooperatively and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhong for your kindness, I will definitely invite Mr. to have a glass of wedding wine then." ”

King Gong's eyes, which were diverted from the topic, sank slightly, but he still squeezed out a smile and asked, "There is a happy event in Brother Xu's mansion?" Why don't I know as an older brother? ”

There was a hint of blame in his tone.

King Jin smiled at him kindly: "It's not that I don't want to sue Brother Sù, it's just that the matter hasn't been decided yet, so it shouldn't be too public." ”

"Oh?" King Gong couldn't help but be aroused, and raised his eyebrows: "Since it hasn't been decided yet, why does Fourth Master Zhong know?" ”

"I don't know this brother." King Jin shook his head innocently.

King Gong suddenly had the illusion that he had been tricked.

is different from the situation of the men's seat, the women's seat is not a word, but a direct slap in the face.

It is said that Mrs. Yongning Hou did not give up, and after the plan failed, she put her face up again and let people beat her.

Originally, Mrs. An was accompanying several old men to talk to Meng Yuyan, but Mrs. Yongning Hou wanted to squeeze to the side of Mrs. Yongning Hou, and asked casually: "Aunt An is really secret, and she actually invited Mrs. Yanguo to be a guest, which is really surprising." ”

She meant to find out the ins and outs.

She didn't believe that the Marquis of Wenxin Mansion had such a great ability, and she could invite an elder like the old lady of Yan Guo to be the guest of honor on the last day, she guessed, or the An family made two preparations, both invited their own mother-in-law and the old lady of Yan Guo.

This thought made her angry, and she felt that the Wenxin Marquis Mansion was not sincere to the extreme.

Naturally, others didn't know the purpose of Mrs. Yongning Hou, so they only echoed the words, laughed and said that they had concealed it strictly, and there were good things, and asked how they invited Mrs. Yanguo.

After all, Yan Guofu and Wenxin Hou Mansion had not been in contact before this, and it was always curious to be so close to each other.

Mrs. An originally wanted to turn a big thing into a small thing and sell the Yongning Hou Mansion a face, but she didn't expect someone to dig her own grave, so she had to sneer and say: "When it comes to this matter, I will definitely pay a good tribute to Mrs. Yan, if it weren't for Mrs. Yan's deep understanding of righteousness, she promised to be my granddaughter's guest last night, and my An family would definitely become the laughing stock of Shengjing today." ”

Everyone keenly caught the two words last night, and there were many discussions for a while, saying that there were not a few people who had no sincerity in the An family.

Mrs. Yongning Hou was overjoyed, she never expected that Mrs. An would dig her own grave.

However, she didn't be happy for too long, and Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "Mrs. An is polite, the old body is also moved by Uncle An and the five brothers, plus the King of Jin came forward, the fourth young master of the house and my little grandson are friends, how can I not help with this favor?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but think about these words, could it be that there are some twists and turns in the middle?

They all pricked up their ears and prepared to listen to the play.

Mrs. Yan's cooperation made Mrs. An very grateful, and secretly cast a grateful look, Mrs. An sighed abruptly: "If it is not a last resort, I don't want to make this decision." ”

"I understand." Old Madam Yan patted her hand, her eyes comforting.

Mrs. An wiped the corners of her eyes, but turned to Mrs. Yongning Hou, and asked solemnly: "Niece and daughter-in-law, I want to ask you, I sent someone to send the post to the Yongning Hou Mansion, have you seen it?" ”

Mrs. Yongninghou, who was suddenly mentioned by name, felt her heart skip a beat, panic flashed in her eyes, she forced herself to calm down, and according to what she had thought about a long time ago, she smiled and said: "What is Aunt An talking about, if I didn't see the post, how could I be here with my mother-in-law today?" ”

As the words fell, Meng Yuyan asked coldly, "Dare to ask how many posts Mrs. Yan received?" This princess heard that the Marquis of Wenxin Mansion sent a total of three posts to the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion, how many letters did Mrs. Yan receive? ”

"This ......" Mrs. Yongning Hou didn't expect Meng Yuyan to suddenly make trouble, and she was confused for a while, and then said: "I received a letter, it is a post from the Wenxin Marquis Mansion inviting me to wait for the ceremony." ”

As he spoke, he secretly looked at his mother-in-law's expression.

The old lady of Yongning Hou lowered her eyes slightly, so that people couldn't see clearly.

Hearing this, Meng Yuyan sighed in surprise and said, "How did this princess hear that the Marquis of Wenxin's Mansion only sent a post inviting Mrs. Yan to be a guest?" Where did Mrs. Yan see the post of watching the ceremony? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, it turned out that the official guest invited by the Wenxin Marquis Mansion at the beginning was the old lady of Yongning Hou!

So why did she later become the old lady of Yan Guo?

The twists and turns in this can't help but make people think deeply.

In an instant, many strange eyes looked at Mrs. Yongning Hou.

Being looked at by so many people, Mrs. Yongning Hou only felt a stab in her back, and she panicked.

Hearing others say that the Marquis of Yongning Mansion did not receive a post to watch the ceremony, and she was cheeky to watch the ceremony, she suddenly became even more panicked, and eagerly defended: "There is obviously a post inviting the ceremony among the three posts, I can see it clearly!" ”

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it and hurriedly covered her mouth, but it was too late.

Meng Yuyan sneered: "Didn't you say that you only received one post?" ”

"I, I'm ......" Mrs. Yongning Hou had no way to argue, she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, so she could only look at Mrs. Yongning Hou for help.

Old Madam Yongning Hou's face was cold, and she only didn't see her pleading eyes.

Mrs. Yongninghou's heart was cold, and she wanted to cry without tears.

Needless to say, everyone has already guessed why.

The gaze cast on Mrs. Yongning Hou all turned into mockery and sarcasm.

Yongning Hou is a well-known filial son, but today Mrs. Yongning Hou made the old lady Yongning Hou lose face in public, but it is conceivable that she will not have a good time in the future.

This banquet can be described as surging.

After eating the banquet, Mrs. Yongning Hou urged her mother-in-law to leave quickly, she couldn't bear the mocking eyes of others.

The old lady of Yongning Hou didn't pay attention to her, and pulled the old lady An and said: "Old sister, I owe you again, I don't have the face to see you again in the future, but please rest assured, as long as I live for a day, the Yongning Marquis Mansion and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion will still be world friends." ”

Mrs. An had already guessed that the post had nothing to do with Mrs. Yongning Hou, otherwise she would not have directly named Mrs. Yongning Hou.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Old sister, maybe God destined our sisterhood to be bumpy, take care of yourself." ”

That's all there is to it.

The old lady of Yongning Hou left crying, she really never had the face to see this good sister who had been friends for decades.

After getting into the carriage, the old lady of Yongning Hou wiped away her tears, regained her solemn and solemn expression, and instructed her personal grandmother: "Go and pass the word to Master Hou, I can't control his good daughter-in-law, either let him take care of his daughter-in-law and don't let people appear in front of me again, or he will change his wife." ”

Overhearing these words outside the carriage, Mrs. Yongning Hou's face was like a blank sheet of paper. R1152
