Murong Zhan took the invitation and appeared at the door of King An's Mansion with Lu Wanting.

Lu Wanting's veiled face was a little embarrassed, and she asked helplessly: "Your Highness, you said that you took me to a fun place, just to come to see King An to choose a son-in-law for his sister-in-law?" ”

Murong Zhan chuckled and said, "What, isn't it interesting?" ”

"But today is to choose a son-in-law for the county lord, and the people who come are all young talents from various families, isn't it good for me to come as a woman?"

"Why not, you are here with this king, who dares to say more?"

"Are Your Highness sure that this will not be inappropriate?"

"It's okay, I just specially brought you to meet these men in the capital, so that you know that I am your best choice."

“……”

Yes, she still couldn't avoid this topic after going around and around, Lu Wanting could only choose to shut up, and then obediently followed Murong Zhan into King An's Mansion.

Walking through the corridors with Murong Zhan, Lu Wanting walked around enjoying the scenery of King An's Mansion, and there was one thing to say, Murong Qian is a person, and his taste is still okay.

When King An's Mansion was still the Prince's Mansion, it was very big, and after Murong Qian was crowned the queen, it expanded a little, and now it covers a larger area, and the scenery of the backyard is also better.

This banquet invited everyone, the location was set in Baichuan Xuan in King An's Mansion, Baichuan Baichuan, Baichuan Baichuan, Hai Baichuan, from which you can think that Baichuan Xuan must be a very large place, which is suitable for today's occasion.

Baichuan Xuan is open on both sides, and there are white curtains hanging on it, and when the wind blows, the white curtains will gently sway with the wind. There are tables for two people on both sides, and two plates of snacks are already set on them.

Murong Zhan took Lu Wanting to sit on the left side of the main seat, at this time there were only the two of them in the hall, Lu Wanting looked around, and found that there were not many seats, about twenty or thirty, and she thought about the long queue at the door of King An's mansion, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Isn't there a lot of people in line? I don't see a lot of seats, how can I sit down? ”

Murong Zhan smiled and explained, "Of course, not everyone can come in, except for those like us who have invitations, everyone else has to pass several layers of screening before they can sit here." ”

"In this way, King An really has a heart for his righteous sister, but if he wants to screen, where is it?"

"Now the screening has not started, and after the guests arrive, this king will invite Miss Lu to watch the screening together."

Murong Qian happened to walk out, heard Lu Wanting's question, and answered her with a smile.

Lu Wanting got up with Murong Zhan and said to Murong Qian, "I've seen His Royal Highness King An." ”

He was followed by a young girl, a little thin, wearing a peach-colored smoke cloud butterfly skirt, a hanging bun combed, only a few flowers were simply worn on it, the bangs made the already small melon seed face look smaller and smaller, big eyes and a small nose and mouth, Lu Wanting remembered the words Xiaojia Jasper when she saw her.

Caizhu stood behind Murong Qian, looking at Murong Zhan and Lu Wanting with timid eyes, looking a little innocent. Murong Zhan smiled at her and said, "Presumably, this is the Lord of Xirou." ”

"Xirou, come and see His Royal Highness King Kang and the Holy Maiden of Medicine King Valley." Murong Qian introduced the two of them to Caizhu.

Caizhu stepped forward slowly, folded some rough hands on the right side of her waist, squatted slightly, and said softly: "Xirou has seen His Royal Highness King Kang and the Holy Maiden. ”

Her appearance of saluting was a little awkward, but this was also the result of her learning for a long time, she was just the daughter of a fisherman's family, where did she know these things, or after coming to the capital, Murong Qian arranged for her grandmother to teach her. In addition to learning etiquette, she also learned to recognize and write, all in order to be closer to Murong Qian, so she studied very hard, and spent a lot of time practicing every day, and today it is considered to be the first fruit.

Murong Zhan stepped forward to pick up the colored beads, "No need to be polite, since you are already the righteous sister of King An, you can also be regarded as my sister, how you call King An in the future, you will also call me." ”

When Caizhu heard this, she first looked at Murong Qian, Murong Qian nodded her head at her, and then she turned back to Murong Zhan and said the word "um" softly.

Then she looked at Lu Wanting again, looked at it for a long time, and asked with a red face: "This sister, are you the princess of His Royal Highness King Kang?" Why are you wearing a veil? ”

Lu Wanting was stunned, didn't this little girl have a bad memory, didn't Murong Qian introduce her as the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley just now? Why did you ask her if she was Murong Zhan's princess?

Murong Zhan is in a very good mood, this little girl can speak, not as annoying as Murong Qian.

"Xirou, don't talk nonsense, this is the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley, a friend of King Kang, she has superb medical skills, and she healed King Kang's leg."

"I'm sorry, sister, I'm ...... I said the wrong thing. ”

Caizhu hurriedly apologized, for fear that Lu Wanting would be angry, but Lu Wanting looked at her pitiful appearance, comforted her and said: "The county lord doesn't need to apologize, those who don't know are not guilty, don't take it to heart." ”

"It's good that my sister isn't angry, I just don't know what you look like, but you should be a very beautiful person!"

Lu Wanting hid behind the veil showed a smile on her face, "The county lord is so cute!" ”

When Caizhu heard Lu Wanting's praise, her little face flushed, and she lost her previous strangeness to them, and immediately smiled sweetly: "It's good for my sister to call me by name, my name is Caizhu." ”

Lu Wanting looked at Murong Zhan who was looking at her with a smile, and then at Murong Qian who was looking at Caizhu with a smile, both of them nodded at her, and then she turned back to Caizhu and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Caizhu." "No matter what kind of person Murong Qian is, this righteous sister of his, is still quite cute.

After a few people finished speaking, Murong Qian asked Caizhu to go back first, and then come out when the banquet began. After a while, people came in one after another with invitations, all of them came over to see King An and Queen Kang, and they went to greet each other, and the people who got the invitations were all the sons of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, and these people were all invitations sent by Murong Qian after careful selection.

After waiting for a while, Chu Yichuan also came with the post, he didn't want to come, but the posts were sent to him, as a courtier, he couldn't save King An's face, and as a son, he couldn't listen to his words. But when he saw Lu Wanting's figure appear in King An's Mansion, he just wanted to flee quickly, pretending not to come.

But Murong Qian's eyes were sharp, and he saw him, and immediately stopped him, "Why did General Chu have to leave just now?" ”

Chu Yichuan gritted his teeth, secretly said badly, then turned around with difficulty, coughed embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King An misunderstood, I just suddenly had an upset stomach and wanted to go to a thatched house......"

"Hehe, if you want to go to the thatched house, then let's go, but the thatched house is over there." Murong Qian pointed in the opposite direction.

Chu Yichuan habitually scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, okay...... Then I'll miss it first......"

Seeing Chu Yichuan running in the direction he pointed out like the wind, Murong Qian couldn't help laughing. He knew Chu Yichuan's thoughts, to be honest, he didn't expect Lu Wanting to appear here, but he had come here, and he would never let Chu Yichuan go. Just kidding, Chu Yichuan is his best candidate for sister-in-law, and he had a stiff relationship with him before, so he finally had this opportunity to make up for it, not only to find a good home for Caizhu, but also to win over the general's mansion, how could he let it go.

When Chu Yichuan came back from the thatched house, Murong Qian asked everyone to move to the flower hall and immediately began to screen the rest of the people.

Coming to the flower hall, everyone found a place to sit down, and there were two rows of men standing outside the hall, a total of twenty-four people, after preliminary screening, they were finally left. Judging from their appearance, their facial features are quite good, and several of them are quite handsome.

After Murong Qian sat down, he motioned for the housekeeper to prepare to start. The butler nodded, stepped forward and said, "Next is the formal test, and those who have passed all the tests can stay to attend the banquet and meet the county lord, and then the county lord will choose a husband candidate." ”

When the twenty-four men heard this, they all expressed their dissatisfaction, "How can there be a test? Isn't it just a matter of being able to sit down? ”

The butler frowned and said, "Quiet! Before, only a part of the people were excluded, and the next thing to test is your literary talent, martial arts, and character. If you don't meet the requirements, you won't be eligible to enter the eyes of the county lord and His Royal Highness King An at all. ”

The men outside the hall glanced at Murong Qian, who looked impatient in the hall, and they were all silent.

Seeing that no one had any more opinions, the housekeeper continued: "Next, I will first announce the rules of the first level: the first level, the literary test. His Royal Highness King An will make the upper link, and all the people will take turns to make the lower link, and the sentence will be neat and tidy. ”

Hearing that it was a pair, some people looked confident and seemed to be very sure, while some people had wandering eyes and pale faces, thinking that they had no real talent.

"The following is the first question, uplink: silkworms are insects in the world. First by the king of the capital, the son of Wang Zixuan, the couplet, and then in turn. ”

When Wang Zixuan heard the roll call, he immediately stepped forward, arched his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Fishing is a fish in the water." ”

The housekeeper nodded, motioned for Wang Zixuan to return to his original position, and then shouted, "Next!" ”

The man next to Wang Zixuan stood up, arched his hand, frowned and pondered for a while, then stretched his brows and said, "Magpie is a bird in the past." ”

The butler also nodded, motioning for him to step back. When the next person stood up, he also bowed his head and pondered, after a long time, he didn't think of it, some cold sweat had broken out on his forehead, and the butler waited a little impatiently, and when he was about to speak, the man raised his head and said, "Song is like a bird opening its mouth." ”

The butler thought about it and thought it was quite neat, so he nodded, and the man sighed with relief when he saw the butler nodding.

Next, a few people reluctantly came up with sentences, and a few people couldn't say why they came after a long time, so the housekeeper directly invited them out. This is the first question, and three people have been eliminated.

In the hall, Murong Zhan looked sideways at Lu Wanting, who was a little bored, smiled, and asked, "I wonder if Miss Lu is proficient in couplets?" ”

Lu Wanting shook her head, "I'm not proficient, I'm just dabbling in it for the first time." ”

Murong Qian listened to the conversation between the two, as if he was interested, and smiled at Lu Wanting: "Miss Lu, why don't you help this king with the second question?" ”

"But I don't know much about couplets!" Lu Wanting rolled her eyes in her heart, you pick your sister-in-law, why are you calling me if you have nothing to do?

"It's okay, it's more challenging, Miss Lu can do it at will."

"Are you sure King An wants me to do the question?" Lu Wanting smiled, if she really wanted her to come up with a question, then she would reluctantly come up with one, she thought of an eternal absolute.

"The little woman had no choice but to obey."
