Nalan Jinxiu was also suspicious of the Ninth Princess before, thinking that she really took Zong Xuanyi away. The heart that she couldn't go up or down finally fell back into her body completely.

Today's banquet was held according to Mrs. Ji's wishes, and the whole process was very traditional. Ordinary people will invite the troupe to sing after the banquet to cheer up, and some scholars will play from famous musicians.

In the eyes of Daning people, the most elegant musical instrument is the guqin. The musicians invited today are two brothers and sisters, the elder brother is called String Music and Xi is a guqin, and the younger sister is called Xianyue and uses a flute.

It is said that the piano and flute ensemble is the most coordinated, but the piano and flute ensemble of the two brothers and sisters also end in the aftermath. Although they were young, they were famous in the Ning Dynasty, and many dignitaries had banquets at their homes, and they would be invited to play.

Before Nalan Jinxiu married the third brother, she was not very interested in the guqin. The fur I know is also forced to learn by my mother. But after marriage, she gradually fell in love with the guqin, and she had a lot of experience in playing the piano.

The music played by Xianyue today is very dignified and elegant, which makes people very comfortable to listen to, and with the melodious flute sound, it is actually the most chic song that Nalan Jinxiu has ever heard.

She whispered to Ji Hongye: "The guqin music is elegant and quiet, but the flute is very lively and cheerful, the wonderful thing is that the combination of the two of them is so harmonious." The attainments of these two brothers and sisters in music are really very comparable. ”

Ji Hongye glanced at her lightly, as if to say: "When I play the piano like that, it is not ambiguous to appreciate others." ”

They are now husband and wife, and they can know each other's intentions almost with a single look. Nalan Jinxiu smiled at him again, and still said in a voice that only two people could hear: "My piano skills have grown a lot now, haven't you praised me?"

Ji Hongye raised an eyebrow to look at her, she looked quite a bit of a romantic boy, and she was silently teasing the beauty with her eyes. Nalan Jinxiu couldn't help blushing, she took a sip of tea embarrassedly, and said secretly in her heart: "The third brother is becoming more and more ignorant of restraint now. ”

I don't know if it's because she's not quiet or what, anyway, she feels that the third brother is always looking at her, intentionally or unintentionally. The eyes are honest, straightforward, and passionate. She was seen uneasy, and she missed the third brother who used to be humble and shallow.

Ji Hongye himself is also helpless, although Ah Jin has always been in his eyes, he doesn't want to behave so bluntly in public. But after the banquet, the people who stayed to listen to the music were all court officials and their relatives, and there were also women who had not left the cabinet, and they had been secretly sending autumn waves to him.

If he hadn't shown some enthusiasm for his wife, the girls wouldn't have known what to do. He also has an impression of a few in the middle of the period, there are no high-ranking officials in the family, and it is estimated that he wants to be a concubine for him.

What others think, naturally it is not within his jurisdiction. But if his little wife finds out, it will be terrible. He thought that when others saw that he was deeply in love with his wife, he knew that it was no fun, so he should dispel those thoughts as soon as possible.

He's hard, too!

Ji Ge Lao had a headache when he listened to the music, and it hurt even more when he grabbed Zhou. Granny Sun had already made people prepare things for grabbing Zhou, and everyone was waiting to see them, thinking that Ji Ge's son was probably either grabbing an inkstone or a brush scroll.

Who knew that Chen Zhi came at this time, and he also held a long box in his hand, saying that it was a full moon gift for the child by Lord Xiangguo, and it was used to catch Zhou.

Everyone had a black line on their faces, and secretly said in their hearts: "Isn't that car of things just sent a full moon ceremony?" Besides, the things that caught Zhou were all prepared by their parents, so how could outsiders send them. At this time, everyone couldn't help but speculate, could it be that Xiangguo was going to do it?

They knew that the two men were opposites. Clear-eyed people can also see that although Ji Ge Lao has helped King Hui a lot, he himself has not been involved in the party struggle.

And Xiangguo is different, Xiangguo supports King Xun. King Xun is domineering by nature, and there is a ruthlessness in his bones that those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die. But anyone who is not attached to him, he is not pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, those officials who are not involved in party disputes have always felt that with King Hui, a strong competitor, holding King Xun in check, the court is balanced, at least within the scope of the sage's control.

Now this is the case, the forces are very even, and the Holy One is in the prime of life, even if it is a party dispute, it has not reached the point of being in full swing. If Xiangguo wants to break the balance at this time and take Ji Ge Lao, it is not impossible.

Now the representative of the Qing school who is not involved in party disputes in the court is Ji Ge Lao. If he succeeds in bringing him down, this should be a good thing for King Xun. Many people who have a wait-and-see attitude are likely to fall to King Xun's side.

Long Yi stretched out his hand to take the gift held by Chen Zhi, and replied politely: "The things that the little young master used to catch Zhou have been prepared, but we adults still understand Xiangye's intentions." ”

Everyone thought that this matter was over, but Chen Zhi stretched out his hand to stop Long Yi, and his tone was very domineering: "Xiangguo said that this is a gift for the little young master. ”

Chen Zhi and Long Yi are both very decent and sleek, long-sleeved and good at dancing. If you have to compare the high and low, it is that Long Yi is not as smooth as Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi is not as good as other people's martial arts.

If Long Yi wanted to take this box away, it would be a breeze. And it is even more difficult for Chen Zhi to stop it. The people brought by Chen Zhi saw that the two of them seemed to be wrestling secretly, and Lord Chen obviously had fallen behind and wanted to make a move.

Seeing that those people were about to move, Ji Hongye's expression was still calm, but Sun Wenjie was unwilling, he sneered: "Lord Xiangguo, is this difficult for a strong man? Everyone said that they accepted the gift, why do you want to catch the Zhou ceremony?"

"Sangkook is well-intentioned. ”

"Good intentions?" Sun Wenjie sneered: "As we all know, saying that it is just a joke among adults to catch Zhou, and it can't be true." But if Lord Xiangguo gives this gift, there is a conflict with the rules of the Ji family, and he has to do a Zhou gift if he is tough and domineering, wouldn't it be bad?"

Chen Zhi saluted Sun Wenjie respectfully, still in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "What Sun Shilang said is extremely true, then I will open the box and let everyone see what this thing is." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the box, revealing a string of Buddhist beads lying inside. This string of Buddhist beads is made of fine sandalwood, the color is evenly proportioned, and it exudes a faint fragrance after opening, which is very valuable at a glance.

"Presumably, many of the adults present believe in Buddhism, and Ji Ge himself is a monk, so if the little young master catches this string of Buddha beads, it proves that he has a Buddha fate, and there should be nothing wrong with it!"

That being said, Buddhist beads are not for everyone to wear. It is a sacred relic of Buddhism, if such a young child chooses the Buddha beads, then will not he become a monk in the future? This is the eldest son of Ji Ge Lao, the treasure of the Ji Mansion, if he catches this Buddha bead today, it will not be a joke.

Everyone knew that the beads were wrong, but no one pointed them out. Everyone seems to have the mentality of watching the excitement, and some people are even secretly thinking that the more the two sides pinch the better, anyway, this is a battle between their upper echelons, what can it have to do with them?

"I haven't heard of anyone who wants to put Buddha beads when they catch Zhou?" Sun Wenjie flicked his sleeves and his face was grim.

Sun Shilang's words are inappropriate. Our national teachers in Daning have traveled all over the world all year round, preaching scriptures and preaching to the people of Daning, so we Daning people are patriotic and kind. We believe in Buddhism, and respect every missionary, if the little boy can catch the Buddha beads, there will be a national teacher in the future. ”

Speaking of the national teacher, Sun Wenjie's face is even more ugly. Although Daning's current national teacher is not a regent, he has many believers. And his so-called divination and massage skills are full of evil. Let them be very unaccustomed to officials who came out of the Tai Academy and went up to the imperial examination.

Because anyone who has gone through the scientific examination and the baptism of the temple examination knows that the reason why they can be admitted is all because of hard work. How many years of hard work have you been reading in the cold window, how can it be replaced by the reincarnation of the national teacher's Wenqu Xing?

But I have to admit that this national teacher does have some means, and Emperor Yonglong used to be a very knowledgeable person, but now he is highly respected for this national teacher. There are even some rumors in the market that the national teacher is the reincarnation of a god in the heavens, who has come to purify all sentient beings.

In Sun Wenjie's opinion, where does he have anything to do with gods, to put it bluntly, it will be demagogic. So his tone was very unfriendly: "I didn't know before, but the Prime Minister originally implemented the national teacher's system. Then I'll tell you the truth, I don't believe in the national teacher, and this Buddha bead must not be used as a ceremony to catch the week. ”

Chen Zhi was tired of this, and still saluted, and then spoke: "This is the intention of Lord Xiangguo, Sun Shilang still doesn't want to be the master of Ji Ge." ”

Good boy, do you want to use Xiangguo's identity to suppress him? Sun Wenjie gritted his teeth fiercely, and thought to himself: If it weren't for Xiangguo's face, I would have talked so much nonsense with you?

Chen Zhi's attitude is very firm, that is, he must put this string of Buddhist beads on the Zhou ceremony. If he puts it up, if the child doesn't catch it, if he does, it won't be a big joke.

Sun Wenjie felt that Zong Xuanyi was deliberately finding fault, obviously trying to touch the mold. He himself was entangled by the Ninth Princess and left, but he still left Chen Zhi behind, which was simply ghostly.

He looked at Peng Jing, he was usually the one with the worst temper, and he didn't know what was going on today, so he could calm down.

Peng Jing also felt very aggrieved, on such an occasion, with so many important ministers of the imperial court here, Chen Zhi put on such a tough attitude, is this giving them authority? After all, Chen Zhi dares to be so blatant, doesn't he just rely on the power of the country?
