Chapter 241: A Variety of Choices

The morning light is clear, and the snow falls into ice.

Blending into the silence of the conjunction, Gong Yihan can really feel that his heart is disturbed, and he can't enjoy this winter beauty calmly.

In the past, Zhao Zhenyuan was not the only one who cared about this name now, but also set off a storm in Gong Yihan's heart. can't talk about deception, but Gong Yihan, who has always pursued transparency, has a different kind of flaw in his heart, which is faint, but it can't be erased from his heart.

"Master of the family, it's time to leave for Kek Lok Temple to pray for the old lady."

Gong He's whispered reminder interrupted the disorganized thoughts, and his shining eyes moved slightly, and then he waved away and suddenly became the cold and unparalleled noble son of the past, and walked quickly and silently towards the outside of the pavilion.

The movements were quite close, and Gong He hurriedly put on a big coat for Gong Yihan, carefully followed him, and explained the arrangements for today.

"The head of the family, the heads of businesses from all over the country have arrived in Lin'an one after another, and the 'Juyi Banquet' has been arranged, and the banquet will be held in Lingyan Xiaozhu from time to time."

Every year on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the "Juyi Meeting" is a practice that the palace family cannot shake; At that time, the heads of businesses from all over the world will be invited to gather together, firstly, to increase the friendship between the heads of various merchants, and secondly, to take this opportunity to reward and punish the merits and demerits of the local firms for a year.

The so-called good talents are mentioned, and mediocre talents are abandoned. The Gong family's family business has developed smoothly in the hands of Gong Yihan over the years, and it is not unreasonable to grow day by day. With the iron-blooded wrist of "those who don't use it for their own use, they will abandon it", he is no longer the fledgling stunned young man at the beginning, and he suppressed these old and cunning directors to the death. And inject their own power.

"Got it. This year's 'Gathering Banquet' is entrusted to you and Gong Sheng, if there is anything wrong, I can just ask you about it. ”

The hand was as neat as a flower, and a burst of excitement suddenly appeared in his mind. Gong Yihan asked Shanggong He without thinking.

"Has Xiao Yi from Taiyuan Mansion ever come?"

"Arrived early. He was the new head of the 'Ruixiang Money Village' a year ago, and he didn't expect the head of the family to remember him. ”

In fact, it was purely a coincidence that Xiao Yi was promoted at that time. A year ago, Zhao Zhenyuan mentioned in front of him that this person was steady, and it happened that the old head of the "Ruixiang Qianzhuang" in Taiyuan Mansion was very old, so he sold a favor to Zhao Zhenyuan.

And at this time, connecting Zhu Xishi's matter together, the human feelings in it don't seem to be as simple as Gong Yihan imagined, Xiao Yi should have the answer he wants.

"Order someone to inform Xiao Yi and rush to Jile Temple to see me."

"It's the head of the house."

A small Taiyuan Mansion is in charge of the bank, and it is worthy of Gong Yihan's concern. Gong He was also suspicious in his heart, but he could only do it one by one if he understood Gong Yihan's temper

"The concubine has arrived."

The palace people made a loud communication, which suddenly made this lively Linlang Pavilion a lot quieter. Zhao Zhenyuan, who was talking with the queen at this time. also turned to the front door with his eyes open, waiting for the arrival of this grand concubine Chu.

I saw a woman wearing a golden phoenix and purple silk skirt and a hundred flowers and silkworm jackets on her shoulders, supported by the palace maids, and walked into the "Linlang Pavilion" with graceful steps. The twelve gold-carved jadeites between the spirit snake's buns swayed slowly and gently back and forth. It shows the woman's grace and gentleness. Gu Pan's eyes are full of charms, and the beautiful face dyed with a honey smile is like a peach blossom blooming in spring, delicate and exquisite.

"My sister is the queen mother. Please forgive my sister for being late. ”

"Sister Concubine Chu, which family is this? It's all your own family, get up and talk quickly. ”

In a word, he shirked the sin of disrespect. Zhao Zhenyuan looked at this smiling Concubine Chu with a smile, just by her trick of "retreating as advancing", she knew that this Concubine Chu was not a simple person.

You know, the people who can stand in this palace. It's not so harmless.

"My sister thanked my sister for her generosity."

Standing up and turning around, Concubine Chu took Zhao Zhenyuan, who was standing beside the queen, into her eyes at a glance. The smile was even more than the previous greeting to him.

"Yo, I didn't expect Lord Rong to arrive so early today, it's really weird."

"Xiao Wang asked the concubine Niangniang Jin An." Without much fluctuation in his face, Zhao Zhenyuan respectfully bowed and returned the salute to Concubine Chu, and replied calmly: "Zhenyuan has always liked to join in the fun, how can the queen set up a banquet in the 'Linlang Pavilion' without me?"

"That's right. The prince has always been close to his sister, how can my sister Chrysostom have to appreciate her face, you say yes, the prince? ”

The words were decent, but they were thorny, and Zhao Zhenyuan did not evade the words.

"Yes, after all, it's a family banquet hosted by the queen's mother, so I have to give some thin noodles."

Zhao Zhenyuan's words were also a lot of thorns, how could the shrewd Chu Guifei not hear his sarcasm? Zhao Zhenyuan wanted to sue her, the owner of this "Linlang Pavilion" was the queen's mother, and it was not her turn to worry too much.

Chen Guishu is virtuous, although she Chu Zhen'er is a noble concubine, but among the five concubines below the harem queen, there is a concubine Chen in front of her; Even if the queen is benevolent and doesn't care, no matter how much the throne is turned today, it will not be her turn.

Chu Guifei's delicate eyebrows were raised, and her smile faded a little, but her complexion was still extremely soft. The smart eyes glanced around, and then talked to the queen.

"Hey, sister, didn't you have a banquet for the Six Princes and Princess Yongning today, why don't you see the two of them?"

The retracted gaze glanced at Zhao Zhenyuan intentionally or unintentionally, and Chu Guifei's beautiful face was even more pleasant, and she also attracted Zhao Zhenyuan even more.

A two-faced woman like her likes to turn over some things like old sesame seeds and rotten grain.

"I guess it's almost there. Let's not stand, my sister came to take a look at the palace, and she was worried. Is this 'Baihe Golden Silk' given to Yongning girl good? ”

The queen is not a stupid person, and she can't see that Zhao Zhenyuan and Chu Guifei are competing in secret, and she pulls Chu Guifei to appreciate the golden silk she carefully prepared for Princess Yongning.

"My sister's mouth is quite powerful, third brother."

Chu Feng, who didn't know when he came to Zhao Zhenyuan's side, whispered in his ear. It also seems to be reminding him not to be light.

"Some people have a strong mouth and are straightforward, but some people hide unsightly things in their hearts and use their tongues to assist them. That's the poison that hurts people. ”

"You want to say that my sister is a femme fatale, but you can say it clearly, why should the third brother scold people in a roundabout way."

Although Chu Feng has a neutral attitude, Concubine Chu is his sister after all, and she is naturally a little sad when she is criticized.

"Xiao Feng, what do you want to persuade me, third brother understands. The well water does not interfere with the river water, and if she is safe and secure, I will naturally not find her fault with much. ”

"I have always been uninvolved in your affairs, drink and go to the third brother."

Looking at that Chu Feng's chic smile, there was a bitter taste. Although he understood that Chu Feng's mood at this time was pitiful, Zhao Zhenyuan would never be soft on the big issues, he could only hope that Concubine Chu would accept it if she saw it today.

The atmosphere of the twist precipitated for half an hour. Suddenly, the "Linlang Pavilion" remembered the loud and loud words of the bell.

"The six princes and princesses of the Dajin Kingdom are here~~!"

This announcement suddenly boiled among the men and women in the cabinet, and everyone looked at the entrance hall.

"Yongning girl, I finally looked forward to you!"

As soon as I heard that the distinguished guests were there. The queen also hurriedly put down what she was doing. A smile full of joy stepped forward.

"Su'er sees the queen's mother, may the mother's jade body be blessed and healthy."

"Xiao Wang has finished Yan Yaoxi, and I have seen the queen's mother."

This pair of beautiful gifts was given a few times, which immediately attracted a little displeasure from the queen, and she hurriedly helped Liang Su'er who was blessed.

"Hurry up, please. Ah Su, you and Zhenyuan both grew up together in this palace, and they are still like this. I'm a little annoyed as a sister. ”

"Su'er knows that the queen treats me kindly, but the etiquette cannot be wasted. It is natural for my mother to accept my worship. ”

"Should you say that you are sensible or not? Okay, okay, don't be polite to this palace after you've done your best. It's all a family, so hurry up and sit down with the main palace. ”

"Thank you, Queen, for your grace."

In the end, the gap between the identities could not be crossed, but Liang Suer still returned the salute respectfully and cautiously followed the queen to the table.

sat down next to the queen, and before she could talk for two or three sentences, the queen ordered someone to present the gift she had prepared, "Baihe gold silk".

"You finally went back to the Central Plains once, and this palace has been thinking about preparing something for you, so as to warm up the old sisterhood. I remember that you used to love lotus flowers, so you ordered the skilled craftsmen of the weaving department to weave this golden silk, I don't know if it suits your heart. ”

The palace people unfolded this "Hundred Lotus Golden Silk" in front of them left and right, and the lotus flowers with different postures on the silk silk looked luxurious and atmospheric under the backdrop of the gold thread, and it was really a rare treasure in the palace.

"The queen still remembers that Su'er likes lotuses, which really bothers the mother." stroked the lifelike lotus flowers on the golden silk, but Liang Su'er's smile was faint.

"It's so good, this palace has been worried that it won't be in line with Yongning's heart?"

"I like it very much, thank you for your generous kindness."

The two women on the main couch saw a slightly polite smile in the eyes of Concubine Chu, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but raise a crescent-like curvature.

It seems that the two are not as close as they imagined. Slowly cut his sideburns and got up from the couch on the side.

"Princess Yongning returned to the Central Plains after many years, and the palace has also prepared a thin gift, I hope the princess will not dislike it."

Just accepted the reward of the queen's mother, and didn't want this Chu Guifei to take advantage of the situation to post it again, Liang Su'er suddenly stood up in a panic and thanked Chu Guifei.

"If Concubine Lao is worried, Su'er is afraid that she will be ashamed."

Seeing that Liang Su'er was tabooing the queen beside her, she smiled more proudly, and gently stroked the back of her hand and said.

"The so-called 'courtesy is light and affectionate', it's just a piece of our mind, don't be too polite and humble, princess. Besides, it's never too late to talk about whether you like it or not. Star Lake, present. ”

After the words fell, the palace maid named "Xinghu" had already presented a purple gold brocade box, Chu Guifei turned around with a smile that could not be dissipated, and with a slender finger, a delicate phoenix blood jade concentric knot appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at the color of the phoenix blood jade between these concentric knots, it can be regarded as a treasure; It is not unusual for everyone who is used to seeing rare treasures on the field, but at this time, Chu Guifei's hand lit up, and Liang Suer was stunned and Zhao Zhenyuan was shocked.
