The next day, the invitations to the homecoming banquet were sent to the palaces of various princes and nobles in the capital, and the word "Yunqing" once again became the talk of the upper circles in the capital after tea and dinner.

"It's too high-profile!"

"Dingbei Hou has not held banquets for more than ten years, and this time he actually made an exception for an adopted daughter, strange!"

"Let a girl who is not related by blood correct her name, and she is not afraid of losing the face of the Hou Mansion!"

"I don't think it's strange that people who have lost orphans can't be taken for ...... sense."

"Yes, yes, yes."

“……”

A gilded invitation was personally delivered to the Zhenwang Mansion by the chief butler of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

The king of the town is the king of the opposite sex, who made great contributions to the Xia Dynasty and has great power.

Since the catastrophe twelve years ago, the king of the town was seriously injured, and since then he has not been able to wake up, becoming a living dead, and the wife of the king of the town blocked a sword for her husband and died.

At that time, Shen Luokan, the eldest daughter of Zhenwang, was seven years old, and his second son, Shen Che, was three years old.

In the first few years, due to the prestige of the town king, others did not dare to make the crucian carp town palace, and the saint thanked him for saving the driver, and also took good care of the town king.

But after a long time, the feelings will fade.

In just five years, the king of the town was calculated and almost robbed of his house, but fortunately, the eldest lady Shen Luo worshiped Wen Xiang as a teacher, and with Wen Xiang's advice and support behind his back, the Zhenwang Mansion finally survived the catastrophe, but it was still precarious.

This situation lasted until half a month ago, when Shen Che made great contributions, and the crisis in Zhenwangfu was temporarily lifted.

Today's Zhenwang Mansion is still the eldest lady in charge, and the eldest lady is not in the mansion, so the invitation will be on the desk of the second young master.

"Yunqing ......"

Shen Che was dressed in a dark robe, with long eyebrows and sideburns, and his delicate black eyes, which were cold in the past, rarely had a hint of softness, and his voice was clear.

"Ah Yi, you say, is this her?"

Ah Yi, who was waiting on the side, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Childe, it's impossible, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?" It's true that Miss Lu wants to come to the capital, but how can she get on the line with Yunfu? ”

When Shen Che heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, "Then why did I search all the streets and alleys of the capital and find her?" ”

Ah Yi was also puzzled in his heart, and said sullenly: "Maybe it's incognito, you also know that Miss Lu is sensitive now, and she will definitely not show her true face." How complicated the flow of people in the capital is, even with our hidden piles, it is not so easy. ”

Shen Che pinched his eyebrows and sighed as if he were nothing.

"That son, this Dingbei Hou Mansion, should we go or not?"

Ah Yi asked the key.

"No, no."

Shen Che's face turned cold.

The Marquis of Dingbei has always been scheming, his position is embarrassing, and he has not joined the party so far, if he is low-key, it is better to say, the princes will not embarrass him

, and now such a high profile, there must be some action.

If the Zhenwang Mansion went to wade into troubled waters, the situation he had managed to stabilize would collapse in an instant.

So, can't go.

Ah nodded in understanding, not surprised.

Childe lost his parents at the age of three, and was ostracized everywhere because of the crisis in the palace. Ever since he was almost poisoned at a banquet when he was four years old, Childe has never been to any banquets.

At that time, everyone said that the second son of Zhenwangfu was as timid as a mouse, no better than the eldest lady Shen Luo, and he was an out-and-out waste.

Until he was silent, got the Moyu Plum Blossom Order, and fell through the glasses of the capital nobles.

It was with the Moyu Plum Blossom Order that the twelve-year-old son became the youngest among the officials who went to court every day.

Now, three years have passed.

The ridicule of the year has long disappeared, and "timid as a mouse" has also become "a genius and a cold and arrogant temperament", and even many people secretly call Shen Che "the king of the town"!

Shen Luo supported the lintel of the Zhenwang Mansion in front, and Shen Che stabilized the status of the Zhenwangfu in the back.

A pair of sisters and brothers, one literate and one martial, are called "pillars of talent" by the court!

It's not good that Zhenwangfu is too weak, it's too strong...... It's even worse.

The so-called "town king" is nothing more than a killing technique!

The more genius Childe is, the more people want to kill him, and the frequency of assassinating Childe in the past three years is too high for him to count.

If you are an ordinary person, you have to beware of cold arrows from the shadows every day, your nerves are tense, and you will have gone crazy a long time ago.

Childe is still like an ordinary person, but he doesn't smile all year round.

The assassination was hidden from the eldest lady, which led to a discordant relationship between the sister and brother.

A few months ago, the son was attacked again, in order to save him caused a hidden poison attack, he did not hesitate to deliberately quarrel with the eldest lady before leaving, and the eldest lady was so angry that she lived in the literary hall and did not come back today.

If it hadn't been for the encounter with Miss Lu in Luzhou City, that time would have been forever separated......

Ah Yi thought a little too much, Shen Che shouted a few times before he heard it, and he hurriedly collected his thoughts, "Childe, what did you just say?" ”

Shen Che raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ah Yi, and threw the invitation on the table.

"Go to the feast."

"Huh?" Ah Yi's eyes widened slightly.

The corners of Shen Che's lips tugged, "Change your identity, Dingbei Hou has been hiding so much over the years, you have to see it with your own eyes." ”

Ah Yi's voice should be yes, but there is a little weirdness in his heart.

Listening to this, it is a bit of a desire to cover up.

……

In a blink of an eye, half a month is fleeting.

On the day of the banquet, the Dingbei Hou Mansion, which had been prepared for many days, was decorated with lanterns, and the flower garden was full of precious flowers transported from other places, and the fragrance was overflowing. The servants are all dressed in uniform

The big red caftan and long skirt stand neatly on both sides of the gate of the Hou Mansion to welcome guests.

In front of the Hou Mansion, since the sky is about to get dark, there will be a steady stream of carriages coming to the banquet, noisy and shaking, so lively.

"Mengzhen Building has a guest! A pair of dark green jade bracelets! ”

Reiji, who was standing at the door, took the invitation and shouted, and the noise around the door immediately fell silent, and then whispers rang out in all directions.

"Dream Zhenlou?!"

"Dingbei Hou's face is really big, and he can actually attract people from Mengzhenlou."

"Who's to say it isn't? Back then, the three princes feasted the owner of Mengzhenlou, and Mengzhenlou released the pigeons, not to mention, the three princes actually took Mengzhenlou without a rut. ”

"It is rumored that this Mengzhenlou force and the underworld are not far behind, although they do all kinds of business, but the most they do is still a murderous business!"

"How do you know?"

"I listened to what my third aunt's aunt said, it's true."

“……”

In the midst of the intensive discussion, a long figure stepped down from the carriage, with a gray cloak and shawl, and the hat blocked most of the face.

"What are you looking at?"

"Who doesn't know the high-rise of Mengzhen Building, everyone wears a white jade mask, you just come to him, and you don't know who he is."

"I didn't want to see the mask......"

As the man spoke, he saw the cold eyes of the person in Mengzhenlou sweeping over, and he was so frightened that he immediately stopped his voice and avoided from afar.

"Young landlord, let's go in."

Ah Yi, who was wearing a white jade mask, said in Shen Che's ear, his voice was not small, and he was heard by many people.

Mengzhenlou came to the young landlord, and he is a real descendant, which shows the importance of Dingbei Houfu.

Shen Che's lips peaked evilly, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Dingbei Hou Yungu'an coming in a hurry, clenched his fists and smiled:

"I didn't expect the young landlord to have time to come, which really made our mansion shine."

Shen Che coughed lightly, his voice was different from the coldness of the past, and there was a trace of cordial warmth in the warmth, "Lord Hou is polite, the Hou Mansion in Dingbei does not set up a banquet easily, and Mengzhenlou naturally wants to come to cheer on him." ”

Shen Che had something to say, and the implication was clearly to say, "If you don't pour a handful of oil, how can the fire burn more vigorously?" ”

Yun Gu'an smiled slightly, didn't answer the conversation at all, and said bluntly: "It's not too early, please sit down." ”

Shen Che stretched out his hand to his lips and coughed lightly twice, and said with a smile: "I'm bothered." ”

Yun Gu'an watched him enter, and the light in his old eyes flashed slightly.

It is rumored that the owner of Mengzhenlou has a heart disease and will not live to be twenty years old, and the original intention of Mengzhenlou to build the building is to collect the world's precious medicinal materials and hang his life for him.

It seems that the rumors are not

False.

……

At the same time that Shen Che and Yun Gu'an were briefly fighting at the door, in the backyard, the Xia family was dressing up Lu Yunqing with his own hands.

"You are the protagonist of today's feast. If you are dressed plainly, it is not in line with the scene. ”

Xia brought a set of white palace clothes, on which the painting of the wings of the phoenix finch was embroidered with gold thread, which was brilliant and extraordinary.

"This is gold embroidery, and only the county lord is qualified to wear it. But I was also the daughter of the prince back then, even if I didn't have your grandfather's support, the position was enough. ”

Xia Shi said as he dressed Lu Yunqing, "Have you ever remembered the etiquette that your grandmother taught you in the past few days?" ”

"Grandma rest assured."

Lu Yunqing's voice was well-behaved and soft, "The children remember it, and they will definitely not embarrass the Yun family." ”

Xia nodded with satisfaction, and after putting it on, she held Lu Yunqing's shoulders and turned around, and the smile on her face suddenly couldn't stop.

The villain in front of him combed his hair in a high bun today, and the golden crown was covered with precious Nanzhu, which was noble but not tacky.

The small face under the crown of hair is soft and delicate, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and there is a little red mark between the eyebrows, which makes the complexion snow-white, like a shelled egg, smooth and soft.

Coupled with the white and gold palace dress and long skirt mopping the floor, the natural cold temperament seems to be spread out, and the beauty is suffocating.

"Little Miss looks so good in this!"

Huai Rong's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "What a fairy descends to earth!" The little lady will grow up for a few years, and the people in the capital who propose relatives are afraid that they will break through the gate of our Hou Mansion. ”

Lu Yunqing finally covered the veil, and when she heard what Huai Rong said, her little face was slightly red, and she chuckled shyly: "Don't make fun of Yun Qing when Huai Rong." ”

Huai Rong was happy when she heard this, and hurriedly waved her hand, "Okay, Mama won't say it." ”

Xia smiled and looked up at the sky, and then gently took Lu Yunqing's little hand, "It's almost time, follow me to the front hall." ”

"Hmm."

At the same time, in the lobby of the front hall of the Hou Mansion, the guests were full, and Lu Juncheng was second only to the main table, and his face was a little cloudy.

Dingbei Hou's mind has always been easy to guess. Over the years, he has done what he likes, and his status has risen step by step, and everyone regards him as the real uncle of the Hou Mansion, even he thinks so.

But this time, the Marquis of Dingbei suddenly feasted the Quartet, and the high-profile was abnormal.

He couldn't guess.
