Chapter 136: Coming to the door to catch up

There were other officials in front of the court, thinking that they were not invited. Although I am unhappy in my heart, it is inconvenient to show it, after all, the identity of the Wing King is noble, and it is not at all necessary to make a appearance.

How do you think, when I heard that many colleagues were in the same situation as myself, I was relieved and surprised at the same time, didn't the Wing King even know this little bit of etiquette, even if he didn't know the people around him, wouldn't he know? Shouldn't it?

Talking about the idea with his colleagues, the discussion gradually expanded, and the officials in the entire court gathered around to discuss, what is the wing king doing, and it is reasonable for a few people who do not want to be invited, who has no preferences or people who do not like the eye, how can an official not be invited, and it is not in accordance with the rules.

Until the last court, the ministers scattered and stood back in their positions, and put a question in their stomachs for the time being, and waited for Ouyang Ye to ask for clarification, how could there be such an impolite person, even if it was the Wing King, he had to give an explanation.

Ouyang Ye was once again blocked by his colleagues, the corners of his mouth twitched for fear of something, and Ouyang Ye's mood at this time could be seen from the beautiful beard that trembled slightly.

"Your Excellency. What do you think about the Wing King? "It's really rude, not only the officials who spoke thought so, but everyone was the same, where was the old upbringing of King Yi, and such a big thing as moving the mansion, but he could keep quiet, did he look down on these ministers in the court, or didn't care about such a big thing at all.

Ouyang Ye was one head and two big, and the Wing King always gave him a problem as a titular father, looking at the group of colleagues with a slightly angry look, his mouth was bitter.

"Is this relocation banquet going to be held by the Prime Minister?" Some officials are anxious, and when the congratulatory gifts are ready, they are waiting to go to the Xinyi Palace, to have a look and open their eyes.

"That's it, everybody waiting." Another official spoke: "You haven't received the invitation yet, is this in the Yiwang Mansion or in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" "There has to be a truth.

"Congratulations from all hearts." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, it was normal to be unhappy at this time, and he was not afraid that Ouyang Ye would see it.

"Is the Prime Minister's Wing King ready?" Another official asked: "The Prime Minister, as the father of the Wing King, doesn't know about such a big matter, right?" Although it was a question, no one believed that Ouyang Ye would know nothing, it was not a joke, and the ghosts didn't believe it.

Ouyang Ye is unspeakable now, he can't say that he is dumb and bitter, he really doesn't know much, he didn't know much about whether the Wing King would go to court or not, and it is difficult to say whether the Wing King is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion or not, and the matter of the Wing King is not inferred or guessed by himself, and it is rare to know in advance, and his father is really miserable.

The officials asked Ouyang Ye a little overwhelmed, so he couldn't leave some space for himself to answer, everyone opened their mouths once, what did he want to do, and the buzzing in his ears made him really upset. You can't get angry or find an excuse to run away.

After a while, Ouyang Ye interjected, and said directly: "The Wing King doesn't hold a relocation banquet. "So if I want to give a gift or something, I should rest that heart as soon as possible.

"What!" Hula exclaimed, and a look of surprise jumped on his face.

"Why!" Most people couldn't understand what the Winged King did.

"yes, why?" Why didn't you do it, could it be that something happened? It shouldn't be.

"I really don't know." Ouyang Ye told the truth, he couldn't tell the lie, "The Wing King doesn't like to be lively, maybe this is the reason." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone closed their mouths, the personality of the Wing King is indeed unapproachable and does not like to be noisy, the reason is that in the past, what else can there be besides this, it is impossible to act in a special play and ruin his reputation, unless he is a fool, but a fool will not necessarily do it.

"Is this gift a gift or not?" If you can't eat the banquet, what should I do if I have prepared a gift, can I really not give it? Will the Wing King be picky? It's really difficult.

The official next to him looked like a freak when he heard this, and the official who opened his mouth lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in his heart that he had said the wrong thing, wouldn't it? What is the way a colleague looks at him?

Ouyang Ye took the opportunity to leave quickly, not knowing what else he would be asked if he stayed.

As soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ouyang Ye immediately sent Ah Yuan to Pinglan Yuan to see if the Wing King was still there.

After a while, Ah Yuan came back and said, "The Wing King is not here, and the two dumb women stayed. ”

"Can you see if the main house is locked?" Ouyang Ye was faintly aware in his heart that the Wing King had left, why no one had come to the porter earlier.

"It's locked." Ah Yuan has a careful observation.

Ouyang Ye nodded and raised his hand to wave away Ah Yuan, it seemed that the Wing King left early in the morning, as for the two dumb women who were left behind, they didn't think about it deeply, they just stayed to watch Pinglan Yuan.

Yiwangfu Hongrui blocked wave after wave of people who came to give congratulatory gifts, and the same words were repeated again and again, and her mouth was about to wear out, and the back and forth showed that she was tired of lying down, and she would learn to be shrewd. I prepared two pots of hot tea and four plates of snacks for myself, and went directly to the gatehouse.

The concierge was empty, but it was clean, and as soon as the things were put on the table, Hongrui sat at the table and sipped tea and ate snacks, waiting for the gift giver to come to the door.

Officials from all backgrounds sent powerful servants to give gifts, and there were also small officials who did not have official positions and wanted to cling to the Wing King in person, and it was not in vain to see the Wing King.

It's a pity that it backfired, the winged king was not in the house early in the morning, the people who came to give gifts did not see the main master, and the task assigned by the master was not completed.

Hongrui used a snack to pad her stomach for lunch, she didn't go out to eat, how could she have time, just sat down for a while, someone came to the door again, and she couldn't squeeze out any free time, don't propose to eat.

He Mu Jinming came back from outside, entered the gate of the Yiwang Mansion and saw Hongrui in the gatehouse at a glance, wondering why Hongrui was hiding here?

"Master, you're back." When Hongrui saw that she had seen her reborn parents, she took three steps and two steps out of the door, not forgetting to salute the two.

"For you." Mu Jinming handed over the food box in his hand.

"Ah, the master is the best." Hongrui saw that the eyes of the food box were glowing with blue light, all of them were caused by hunger, so she hurriedly took the food box and thanked her, and she didn't need to open it to know that it was the food in Fengyang Building, but she thought that her saliva was going to flow out.

"Why are you here?" Mu Jinming smiled and asked, "There are many people who give gifts?" "Otherwise, Hongrui will not be left here alone.

"Your Highness is wise." Hongrui said bitterly: "There are more than one gift-giver, and there is an endless stream, and the slave and maid are troublesome and move to the concierge." ”

"Otherwise, you don't have to follow us back to Qimingxuan." Mu Jinming laughed and said: "You can use it here, maybe someone will come again in a while, your master is afraid of trouble, and you are the only one left in the house who can come forward, and those who can work hard." ”

When Hongrui heard this, her face instantly collapsed. went to look at the master, and the pitiful little eyes made Mu Jinming laugh.

Hongrui bitterly accepted her fate, who called that there was no one in the house, the secret guard did not count, and instantly felt so pitiful.

Seeing the master and the third prince go back, Hongrui turned around and returned to the concierge with the food box, let out a long sigh, turned grief into appetite, opened the lid of the box and brought out the dishes.

The behavior of the wing king not to accept gifts came out after three or four first-class masters were turned away and returned in vain, regardless of whether they believe it or not, this trip must be taken to show respect for etiquette.

"Daddy." As soon as Murong Xuan returned to the house, he went straight to the study, holding a box in his arms.

"Why, you couldn't send it out in person?" Murong Rui saw the box in his son's arms at a glance, and he looked puzzled.

"No, I didn't even see the face of the Winged King, and I was blocked back at the gate of the Winged King's Mansion." Murong Xuan didn't have much anger in his heart, and he wasn't the only one who ate the closed door, when he went, he saw a lot of officials, and he never stepped into the threshold of the Yiwang Mansion with one foot.

"Why?" Although the Wing King seems to be out of order, he doesn't do useless work, and Murong Rui has to listen to the key facts when considering this.

"The meaning of the Winged King is that if there is no feast, this gift cannot be accepted." Murong Xuan said extremely seriously, the Wing King was so bold that he offended a bunch of people at once, and he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the Wing King.

It's not a cat or a dog that offends, it's the entire court, what the hell is the Wing King thinking, and such a blue-headed thing has been done. Murong Xuan couldn't speak.

"And for good reason." Murong Rui suddenly smiled, "The Wing King often does things unexpectedly, rather than accepting gifts to offend individual people, it is better not to accept one is the same thing to offend people, but the effect is completely different." He could see what his son was thinking.

"Look at things as a whole, don't just look at one side." Murong Rui taught his son a lesson, "The relocation of the Wing King is a big deal, who doesn't know, how the Wing King does it, the post is not sent, and even the excitement of the palace is saved, so it can be seen how shrewd the Wing King is, and the hundred officials can no longer bite the Wing King for not accepting gifts, and reprimand the Wing King for not keeping the etiquette, and if it is passed out, he may be able to get a reputation for being honest." ”

Murong Xuan was ashamed when he heard this, he was impatient, he underestimated the Wing King's methods, and kept it in his heart, the same mistake would not be made again.

"Alright, that's it. You go about your business. Murong Rui sent his son away.

Murong Xuan bowed and retreated, holding the box and returning to his residence.

In the evening, I wanted to enter the palace with Mu Jinming to celebrate the new residence with my father, and as soon as I walked out, I saw Hongrui coming in a hurry, with doubts on her face and frowning slightly.

"Master, there is a man surnamed Lin outside who came to the door and said that he was an acquaintance of the master, and the slave maid had never seen the man, and he did not let the man enter the house, only said that the master was not there." Hongrui gasped and said: "The man refused to leave and said that he wanted to see the master, and after waiting for a while, he really couldn't wait, so he gave the slave a post, saying that it must be handed over to the master, and the master knew at a glance that the slave didn't dare to keep anyone when he saw that the man's expression was wrong." ”

"Acquaintances?" Where did the acquaintances come from? Mu Jinming looked suspicious, "How is that person dressing?" "Since returning to Beijing, I have been by my side, and I have never heard of any acquaintances.

"The clothes are not very bright, the ordinary green shirt is about 30 years old, there is no beard, and Zhou Zheng does not look like a bad person." Hongrui expressed her evaluation of the man.

"It's weird, Xi'er doesn't know a man in his early thirties." It's that Mu Jin should have known tomorrow that he wouldn't hide it from himself, and it was all up to him to make friends, and Hongrui who was following him didn't know that person, so there must be something strange.

"I have never befriended a man surnamed Lin." I don't remember such a thing, let alone think that I have forgotten it, the people I know can count on one hand, and Mu Jinming has also seen those people who have something to do with him.

"Is this post ......" to see or not? Hongrui held the post and looked at the master.

"Let's see who has the audacity to pretend to be an acquaintance." Mu Jinming took the post and opened it to take a look, his brows furrowed slightly, and doubts were reborn in his eyes.

"Lin Wenzhong?" Mu Jinming read out the person's name, glanced at the content on the post, and said no more, "I haven't heard of this name." ”

"What did you say?" Asked, I'm sure I've never heard of such a person.

"I said I wanted to invite you to come over to catch up." Mu Jinming felt even more strange, why did he have to go over the house to reminisce about the old as soon as he came up, which one was old.

"Where's the address?" If you have a place to live, you can find out which one you live in, and curiosity arises, this person is very bold, and the door of the palace of the winged king does not report to himself, and the god mysteriously does not say the reason.

"I didn't write it." Mu Jinming was suddenly angry, "I said that I would invite you tomorrow." "That's enough. Not playing tricks?

Hongrui, who was standing on the side, listened and tilted his head sideways to recall carefully, is there such a person, surnamed Lin, surnamed Lin, and an acquaintance, reminiscing about the past, and suddenly a light flashed through his mind.

"Master." Hongrui subconsciously exclaimed, "The slave remembers." ”

"What?" And Mu Jinming both looked at Hongrui, is this a discovery?

"It's normal for the master not to remember." Hongrui said: "That person came to the surname Lin and talked about the past, except for the young people like Xu Gongzi who were familiar with the master, the remaining group of people was ignored by the master, and the master's maiden family was not surnamed Lin. ”

"Combined with the man's age, he should be the youngest son of the Lin family and the master's uncle." After Hongrui finished speaking in one breath, she patted her chest and said strangely: "The Lin family has not been in contact since the master's mother married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, why is it found now?" ”

"What else can there be, this kind of person just wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix." Mu Jinming sneered, and the coldness went straight to the bottom of his eyes, "The Lin family has disappeared in our lives for more than ten years, and how thick-skinned they are to come to the door. "He's quite ashamed of this kind of person.

"I don't know what happened to the Lin family, I haven't paid attention to it for more than ten years, and there must be a reason for my sudden arrival today." Hongrui's eyes were full of worry, "If the master has any questions, you can ask the emperor, maybe the emperor knows." "This matter must be presented to the emperor to know, the Lin family is different from ordinary people, even if the Lin family is so poor that they can't open the pot, they can't be abandoned.

Mu Jinming heard and knew Hongrui's intentions, the Lin family is the mother family after all, one will become a problem if it is not handled properly, and a filial piety word will crush many people, I really don't want to see a dilemma.

"Let's go, it's not too early, my father should be in a hurry." Mu Jinming took the post and put it in his sleeve as a certificate.

Dian and Mu Jinming got on the sedan chair and went to the palace, Hongrui was ruthlessly thrown in the mansion and had dinner with the secret guard.

In the palace, the father and son had dinner, and Mu Jinming took out the letter and put it on the table.

"Does my father know about the Lin family?" Mu Jinming was anxious, anxious to know what the Lin family was thinking.

"The Lin family?" It took a long time for Mu Haoyu to remember which Lin family his youngest son was asking, "What are you asking for?" "I asked about the Lin family for no reason, and I suddenly felt weird.

"That." Mu Jinming's finger tapped the greeting post on the table and said, "This was specially given to Xi'er by someone just now, and that person's name is Lin Wenzhong." ”

The smile on Mu Haoyu's face disappeared instantly, his brows furrowed, he took the post and looked at it, and snorted coldly, "What a big dog guts!" "Dare to think of his precious daughter.

"Father, what's going on with the Lin family, why did the good one suddenly come here?" Unclear about the purpose of the Lin family, Mu Jinming was highly vigilant, and always felt that it would not be a good thing.

"I originally thought that the Lin family's scholarly family had such a fast son-in-law as Ouyang Ye, and he should be in peace guarding the Lin family's one-third of an acre of land." Mu Haoyu was extremely reluctant to mention the Lin family, even if the Lin family's concubine was his most beloved woman.

"No matter what happened to the Lin family, it should be right to go to Ouyang Ye, even if the mother is gone, this in-law family should not be broken?" How to find the head, Mu Jinming couldn't figure it out, the Lin family's approach was equivalent to seeking the near and far. (To be continued.)
