Chapter 10: The Dinner Party of the Yuwen Family
That night, Yu Wenhua held a dinner party in the Yuwen Mansion, and all the people in the Eastern Capital of Yuwen attended the banquet. And invited some children of the family who were close to the Yuwen family to participate.
The venue of the dinner was in the backyard of the mansion in the Red Mansion. This is a wooden building with a red exterior wall and a roof inlaid with blue glazed tiles, the windows are hung with red lights, and the traffic in front of the building is crowded, and the crowd is surging, which can be seen to be extremely lively.
Originally, Yu Wenhua married a concubine and returned his son to his ancestors, and there was no need to do it with such fanfare in Yuwen Valve. But because of this, it involved the impeachment of the Imperial Historical Observatory. Then it is natural to do it in a more beautiful way, and it is better to make it known all over the city. This introduced to Yang Guangzhi's ears, which also shows that the Yuwen family is doing their best to make up for their mistakes. Yuwen is scheming and calculating, and he still has a very accurate understanding of the emperor's psychology.
"Little Master, Mrs. Xiao, please ...... here"
Seeing that Steward Song was standing at the door to greet the guests, Yu Wenming hurriedly and humbly said, "Steward Song is really too polite." I only recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors today, and I still don't know a lot about the affairs of the house, and I will need the guidance of Steward Song in the future......"
The Song steward didn't dare to say anything, his demeanor was extremely respectful, and he didn't see the disdain and arrogance of Yu Wenming that day.
After a moment of noise at the door, he assigned a maid to lead the way in front and led Yu Wenming and Xiao Wanjun to the banquet. According to the custom, their mother and son should first go to meet Yuwenshu and Yuwenhua, who were sitting on the main seat.
"The concubine bowed to her father-in-law and husband!" Xiao Wanjun walked up to Yu Wenhua and He Yu Wenshu, bowed down and saluted them respectfully.
"Humph!" Yu Wenhua snorted coldly in his nose, noncommittal.
This incident caused a storm in the city, and everyone knew that he accepted a lowly and mediocre servant as a concubine, and gave birth to an illegitimate child, which made him lose face. Naturally, it is impossible to have a good face for Xiao Wanjun.
"Melt! In public, pay attention to etiquette! Yuwen Shu looked at his son like this, and he couldn't help but feel fire in his heart. I secretly think that if you are dissatisfied, you have to pretend at this time.
Yu Wenhua and this were helpless, so they had to return the salute to Xiao Wanjun. Then he waved his hand and told her to go down and sit down.
So, the maid led Xiao Wanjun to the most remote table in the banquet and sat down, leaving Yu Wenhua's seat to say the least. It's rare for a husband and wife to sit so far apart.
"Grandson meets grandpa!" Yu Wenming saw that his mother had already seen the salute, and he was also busy saluting. When he saw Yu Wenhua and his mother being so rude, he was also very angry in his heart. This titular father didn't even come to see him when he was sick. He has no father-son affection for him at all.
"Hmmm! Child, you are recovering from a serious illness and need to recuperate for a while. Grandpa has already instructed Steward Song to immediately send someone to clean up the small courtyard in the West Wing, so that you and your mother can go over to live! Yu Wenshu said with a smile.
Yu Wenming is also beating snakes with sticks, and in front of Yu Wenshu, he and Yu Wenshu came to a period of love for grandpa and grandson.
After that, Yuwen Shufang laughed and motioned to Yu Wenming: "Ming'er, still don't salute your father?" ”
Yu Wenming was helpless, so he had to bow down to Yu Wenhua and also bowed and said: "The child has given his father a gift!" ”
Although he was reluctant, his posture was still very standard and respectful, and it was impossible to find any fault.
Yu Wenhua frowned, although he didn't look down on this son, but he was also his own son. So he waved his hand and motioned for him to go down.
Yu Wenming turned around, and when he was about to leave, Yu Wenshu smiled and said, "Ming'er, there are many elders and brothers and sisters here, you don't know each other yet." Grandpa will introduce you! ”
He has a very good feeling about Yu Wenming, and he thinks that this kid is from a humble background, and it is still very good that he can be so knowledgeable and courteous when no one teaches him.
After that, he led Yu Wenming to the elders first and introduced him one by one.
Yu Wenshu has three younger brothers, but they are all living in other places, so naturally it is too late to rush back. In addition, he also has three sons, the eldest son is Yu Wenming's father, Yu Wenhua, and he is also the heir to the next head of the family of Yuwen Valve. At present, he is the official residence of the Taifu Temple Shaoqing.
The second son is Yu Wenshi and, his identity is not ordinary, married to the daughter of today's saint Yang Guang, Princess Nanyang, with the identity of a concubine, Feng Shang Yuan Fengyu.
The youngest son is Yuwen Zhiji, who served as a general as a young eunuch in the imperial court.
Although Yu Wenshi and Yu Wenzhi and the two of them also looked down on Yu Wenming, an illegitimate son, they naturally would not make a dishonorable move towards their nephew in such a public eye. Still barely smiled, nodding to him.
Subsequently, Yu Wenshu led Yu Wenming to the table where the third generation of the Yuwen family was sitting, and said with a smile: "These are your brothers and sisters, some you may know, but some you may not have seen yet." Grandpa will introduce you to you! ”
After that, he introduced Yu Wenming one by one. Yu Wenshi and have two sons and two daughters, namely Yu Wencheng, Yu Wenji, Yu Wenjing, and Yu Wenxue.
Yu Wenzhi has three sons and one daughter, namely, Yu Wenxuan, Yu Wenjie, Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenfei.
These men and women all looked at Yu Wenming with disdain.
And among them, Yu Wenjie, because he was beaten by Yu Wenming just now, has a faint pain on his face now, and he is worried that he has nowhere to go. When he saw Yu Wenming coming, it was the enemy who saw each other, and his eyes were very red, so he was sarcastic: "Yu Wenming, the bastard son, is really lucky, and he can recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors when he is sick." I don't know if it's a real illness or a fake illness? ”
"In my opinion, eighty percent is pretending to be sick, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, just let Yang Xuanjiao know."
"If he can't figure out this news, he revealed it himself, and he wants to use it as a threat to seek a concubine status for himself!"
After he made a start, the other children of the Yuwen family also sneered.
When Yu Wenming heard these gossips, he was very annoyed.
But now he is a little helpless, after all, he does not have the capital to fight these people head-on, and the occasion is not suitable. I can only pretend that I didn't hear it.
However, when Yuwen Shu took him to Yuwen Yuqing's table, Yuwen Yuqing immediately stood up with a wine glass, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Ming, congratulations on officially becoming a member of the family!" My sister toasts you! ”
Yu Wenming is also grateful in his heart, in this Yuwen Valve, he now only has feelings between his grandfather Yuwen Shu and his sister Yuwen Yuqing.
"Sister Yuqing, thank you for taking care of me all these years, without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now! Come on! Let's have a toast! Yu Wenming took the wine glass that the maid had filled for him and drank it all.
Yuwenshu also showed a smile on his face, but he was very sorry in his heart, his favorite grandson Yuwen Chengdu, went to Longxi to prepare for the expedition to Tuyuhun, and could not go home. Otherwise, Yu Wenming and his eldest brother will have to make out more.
After meeting a group of siblings, Yu Wenming returned to his mother and sat down.
Yu Wenshu raised his glass at this time and said loudly: "Today is a good day for the dog to take a concubine and love his grandson to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and it coincides with the Spring Festival. ”
At this time, everyone raised their glasses and saluted in unison.
Yu Wenshu smiled and was about to ask everyone to sit down and announce the official start of the banquet, but suddenly heard the guard at the door shouting: "Master, Li Xiuning, the daughter of Li Yuan, who is too annoying to guard Li Yuan, is here!" ”
