Although it is said that today is the birthday banquet of Jiang Chenghua, Marquis of Jingyuan, in fact, Marquis Jingyuan only sat down a little at the beginning of the banquet, and then went back to rest.

After all, it was because of the emperor's reward that he held a big banquet, and if he didn't even show his face, it was obviously a little disrespectful, but if he was allowed to stay for a long time, his body would be secondary, and he was afraid that he would say something inappropriate in front of a full house of guests, but the gain would outweigh the loss.

After Marquis Jingyuan left the table, the guests in the front yard were greeted by the two Jiang Xuan brothers.

Jiang Ke is a little measured, although when Jiang Xuan was recuperating for a while, every time the Hou Mansion held a banquet, he did not show off his limelight, but today he has been silently following Jiang Xuan very interestingly.

Even so, there were still many guests who took the initiative to greet Jiang Ke and say a few words by the way.

It can be seen that the impression he left on everyone before should be good.

Jiang Xuan secretly thought in his heart, it seemed that he really underestimated his younger brother.

It's just that gradually he can't care about paying attention to Jiang Ke anymore.

One is that there are more guests who came to celebrate his birthday today than expected, and the other is that He Kai has been talking to him all kinds of times.

He originally had no impression of this He Kai, just a rite minister, and it was really difficult to notice him.

It wasn't until the eve of marrying Lu Qingrong that when he learned about Lu Qingrong's past, this little etiquette Lang Zhong came into his sight. Although he didn't know very well about the various entanglements of those old things, he probably knew that He Kai and Lu Qingrong's mother reconciled and separated, and soon married the sister of Qiu Yongan, the commander of the horse......

This is Lu Qingrong's biological father.

When Jiang Xuan just reacted, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, staring at He Kai for a moment.

The figure in front of him bowed slightly, his face was thin, and the corners of his extraordinarily lowered eyes were still very obvious no matter how hard he tried to open them, and with that somewhat gray hair, Jiang Xuan even felt that he was much older than Lu Yiduo.

Why did you suddenly think of Lu Yiduo?

Maybe it's because He Kai, who is the biological father in front of him, has no resemblance to Lu Qingrong in terms of appearance or feeling.

Looking at it this way, Lu Yiduo and her are more like biological father and daughter.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart, feeling that he had really thought too much.

On the other hand, He Kai not only came here today, but also asked Qiu Muyun to persuade Qiu Yongan and Princess Chengyang to come to the banquet together.

He also knew in his heart that it was really not easy for him to talk to the Marquis of Jingyuan with him alone, but it was very different to have Qiu Yongan, the captain of the horse, by his side.

Xu is because Qiu Yongan is a little in awe of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and Xu is because he also hopes that the He family can make friends with the Jingyuan Marquis Shizi, in short, during today's banquet, Qiu Yongan has been quite cooperative from beginning to end. first introduced He Kai to the Marquis of Jingyuan, and then when He Kai invited Jiang Xuan to participate in the He Mansion meeting, he kept helping beside him.

Jiang Xuan was obviously very surprised by his invitation.

After a few months of marriage, he had never heard her mention the He family from Lu Qingrong.

Judging from the news he had, Lu Qingrong probably didn't want to have anything to do with the He family, but since he had never talked to her about it, he didn't dare to make a conclusion in his heart.

After all, his speculation about Lu Qingrong's survival in Lu Mansion was basically completely wrong......

At this time, Jiang Xuan neither immediately agreed, nor did he completely refuse.

Seeing this, He Kai obviously became very happy.

According to the thoughts in his heart, he and Lu Qingrong are biological father and daughter after all, and Lu Qingrong still has some worries about him in his heart. And the reason why Jiang Xuan was polite to him and did not refuse his invitation was perhaps because of Lu Qingrong's feelings.

Thinking of this, He Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past half a year, he has been thinking about easing the father-daughter relationship with Lu Qingrong, but he has never been lawless, and now he finally sees a glimmer of light.

And until all the guests in the front yard dispersed, Jiang Xuan was still a little unsure in his heart, whether to tell Lu Qingrong about what he met with He Kai today......

After the banquet was over, Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong both returned to the Yu Courtyard, and it was almost time.

The two of them, who were physically and mentally exhausted, didn't care about talking, so they changed their clothes and freshened up and rested, but neither of them could fall asleep immediately.

Both of them still have things on their minds.

Jiang Xuan thought about the scene he had just met with He Kai.

Lu Qingrong pondered the strange words and deeds of Jiang Huijuan, the second cousin of the Zhenbei General's Mansion today.

Since Jiang Xuan's night was a little out of control a long time ago, in case something like this happened again, Lu Qingrong rarely talked to him after going to bed.

But at this time, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep.

Just when he heard that Jiang Xuan seemed to be tossing and turning outside, Lu Qingrong finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you ...... these days?" Have you ever been to the Zhenbei General's Mansion? ”

"Been there once this month." Jiang Xuan was a little puzzled, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"I saw my second cousin in Qinyi Courtyard today." Lu Qingrong paused slightly, "She asked me for the embroidery pattern of your handkerchief." ”

Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he was not sure whether he should explain this.

"I accompanied Master Sun that time." Jiang Xuan finally spoke: "The emperor wants to send Lord Sun to Mobei for a trip, he doesn't know much about the situation over there, and he wants to ask his uncle for advice, so I took him to the Zhenbei General's Mansion." ”

Although this said something that had nothing to do with the second cousin, it still attracted Lu Qingrong's attention.

"Which Sun-sama?" Lu Qingrong asked with some uncertainty.

"Lord Sun Yiming." Jiang Xuan said.

It's really him! Lu Qingrong sighed in his heart.

"What can he do when he goes to Mobei?" Lu Qingrong couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know the specifics of this, maybe it's to supervise military affairs and other things."

"Overseeing military affairs?" Lu Qingrong didn't hide his surprise at all, "He's just a matter of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, can he also be up to this important task?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qingrong heard a chuckle outside.

"You've never seen him, so how do you know he's not up to the task?" Jiang Xuan's tone was very brisk.

"It's because I haven't seen him, I just know his grade, that I think it's strange!" Lu Qingrong said bluntly.

"Lord Sun used to hold important positions in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but he was demoted because of some implications over the years." Jiang Xuan patiently explained to her, "He used to be a soldier leader, and his ability was much higher than his current grade. ”

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard this, he also led the troops?

This was really unexpected.

Sun Yiming, whom she had heard before, was nothing more than a person who had been reused in the past by virtue of his status as the brother-in-law of the Auxiliary Minister, and later suffered from the decline of the Auxiliary Monarch's rank, and this was not the most significant feature surrounding him.

What makes Lu Qingrong have an impression of him is the identity of Qiu Muyun's ex-husband and those rumors that say he is ridiculous and lustful.

Just like the names of the two of them, Jiang Xuan personally said that he gave them to him, and Huaying and Jinjin were also up to him......

Jiang Xuan didn't know that Lu Qingrong was secretly thinking about Sun Yiming's past in his heart, and at this time, seeing that there was no sound coming from inside for a long time, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

"When Lord Sun arrived at the Zhenbei General's Mansion, he followed his uncle to the study to talk, and I walked around the courtyard alone." Jiang Xuan continued: "It was at that time that I happened to meet my second cousin, and I accidentally let her see that handkerchief. ”

Jiang Xuan knew in his heart that Lu Qingrong didn't seem to want others to see her ...... Some distinctive embroidery.

When Lu Qingrong heard him say this, he came back to his senses from pondering Sun Yiming's thoughts, and then asked, "Then did she take a closer look at the handkerchief?" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xuan didn't understand what she meant for a while, "It shouldn't be too careful, just let her take a quick look." ”

"Then how can she know that I am embroidering bamboo leaves?" Lu Qingrong felt that it was not right, "You didn't see it for a long time. ”

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but want to laugh, and didn't know whether to answer her: "It's not her who sees it, it's me who sued her ......."

Lu Qingrong was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he was relieved in his heart and stopped asking.

I don't know if he was in a hurry to change the topic, or because he had been thinking about it in his heart, Jiang Xuan suddenly said: "Today, Lord Lang Zhonghe of the Ministry of Rites said that he wanted to invite us to the church in their house in the future. ”

After a few moments, no response came from inside.

Jiang Xuan continued: "I didn't agree immediately, nor did I refuse completely, I thought about coming back and asking your opinion before making a decision." ”

In fact, after Qiu Muyun's toss today, Lu Qingrong also thought that He Kai would definitely not be too peaceful in the front yard, and he didn't know how to mention this matter to Jiang Xuan.

Unexpectedly, he was said by Jiang Xuan, and it was inevitable that he was a little surprised for a while, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I don't know if the Hou Mansion has any dealings with the He family." Lu Qingrong carefully worded, "If you just say that I have no contact with them over the years, I have no relationship with them for a long time. ”

Jiang Xuan didn't expect her to say it so neatly, so he also said directly: "The Hou Mansion also has no dealings with them, since this is the case, I directly rejected them!" ”

Lu Qingrong felt a little relieved, and asked casually: "Do you know why the people of the He family came to the capital?" ”

"I didn't ask." Jiang Xuan didn't know why, "If you want to know, I'll send someone to inquire tomorrow." ”

"No!" Lu Qingrong said to stop him, "There's no need for that, I'm just asking casually, both horizontal and vertical are people who don't matter, and they don't do anything with what we want to do!" ”

Jiang Xuan saw that Lu Qingrong showed his attitude without concealing it, and suddenly felt that his expression just now seemed a little undign.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xuan finally said softly: "There is actually one more thing about the second cousin. ”RS
