Han Shi is very happy to go to Cui's Mansion to attend the birthday banquet, she prefers this kind of occasion, especially when her husband gets a clear promise that he will be the assassin of Jianzhou, she is Mrs. Assassin Shi, she can appear on any occasion in a beautiful way, she doesn't know that Cui Ning has a bad reputation for being involved with the wives and daughters of her subordinates, in fact, it doesn't mean much for her to know, anyway, Cui Ning won't take a fancy to her.

She tried on clothes in the room with great interest, while nagging non-stop, "Master, what do you want Guo Gongzi to do?" He's not our son-in-law! He's gone, we're going to be laughed at? ”

"Just say a few words! What do you know as a woman? Xue Xun sat aside and said angrily.

Xue Xun didn't have a study here, so he could only sit in the bedroom and read a book, while enduring his wife's nagging, but when his wife talked about Guo Song, he couldn't bear it anymore, "The birthday gifts are all out of people's pockets, otherwise if you go and get a decent birthday gift, I won't let him go." ”

Knowing his wife Mo Ruofu, Xue Xun stabbed Han's life with a word, where was she willing to pay a few hundred taels of silver to give a birthday gift, and Han immediately fell silent.

In fact, Xue Xun has deeper thoughts, he is neither willing to give his daughter to Cui Ning to spoil it, nor does he want to offend Cui Ning because of this, the best way is to sacrifice Guo Song's identity and let Cui Ning retreat.

After all, Cui Ning is the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, although he has a bad reputation, but he is not as disgusting as Zhang Qiong, the assassin of Jianzhou, he should know how to be measured, and he will not be jealous of himself in the future, Xue Xun thought about it, this is the best solution.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xue Xun's family went out in a carriage, Xiao Yuniang accompanied Xue Tao as a personal maid, and Guo Song rode on horseback with two entourage.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at Cui's mansion, Cui's mansion is located directly opposite Jiannan Jiedu Mansion, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, it is actually composed of two mansions, one is Cui Ning's mansion, the other is his brother Cui Kuan's mansion, connected by a sandwich alley, quite like Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, the carriage was parked in front of Cui's house, and the purpose of Cui Ning's birthday for his mother today was not to find a woman, but to collect money.

Even the wealthy businessmen in Chengdu City have also received invitations, and nearly 700 invitations have been issued in Chengdu City alone, of course, there are many guests, and the wealth is widespread, in order to stop the carriage, Cui Ning specially sealed the street, and the entire Fuqian Street became a parking lot.

When Xue Xun saw this parking situation, he realized that he was thinking a little too much, there were at least a few thousand guests today, and Cui Ning would never see his daughter at all.

Han is dressed like a noble lady today, with her hair combed and sideburns, gold and cui, wearing six gold-threaded long skirts, her face is painted snow-white, and her eyebrows are painted like long fishing rods.

Her daughter Xue Tao is just the opposite, with no makeup, lightly sweeping moth eyebrows, combing her hair in a fairy bun, and no comb hairstyle, this is a very ordinary hairstyle, girls and women can use this hairstyle.

Wearing a thick blue and white skirt, and a lambskin fur, with the silver fox skin given to her by Guo Song around her neck, she was dressed very plainly and warmly, unlike her mother's chest, which still showed a large piece of white flesh, and she shivered from the cold.

Xue Tao couldn't bear it, so he gave the silver fox skin to his mother, this silver fox skin can show the temperament of a noble lady even more, Han Shi was not polite, directly around his neck, barely covering the white flesh on his chest, so that Xue Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Tao took a red cloth and put it on, which added a bit of pretty.

Xue Xun was a little uneasy in his heart, his daughter was a fairy country, even if she didn't wear makeup, she was extremely beautiful and dignified, and her temperament was outstanding, I hope she wouldn't be seen by Cui Ning and cause trouble.

A long row of tables was set up in front of the Cui Mansion, and more than a dozen Cui Mansion officials were registering the names of the guests and accepting the gift lists.

The front of the house was crowded with guests, and the dress was similar, the men were all gauze hats and robes, and the waist was tied with leather belts, and the women were white with cloud temples and white faces, with wide sleeves and long skirts, but it could be seen that these were all wealthy businessmen in Chengdu, and there was a kind of copper coin atmosphere that could not be concealed.

"Yo! Xue Yuanjun is here, welcome! Welcome! "The person in charge of receiving the guests is Cui Ning's younger brother Cui Ping, who is lively and knows a lot of people.

Xue Xun hugged his fists and smiled: "I only got the news yesterday, and the congratulatory gift was not well prepared, just a little heart." ”

He handed the gift slip to Cui Ping, Cui Ping glanced at it quickly, and quickly smiled, "Xue Tingshi is too polite, these are your family?" ”

"Exactly, my wife, my daughter, and my ......."

Before Xue Xun finished his words, Han hurriedly said, "With our son." ”

Xue Xun glared at his wife, he had to acquiesce, Cui Ping nodded with a smile, and shouted loudly: "Jianzhou Xue Tingshi came to celebrate his birthday with his wife and children"

"A few people, please come into the house and rest!"

Cui Ping invited them into the mansion and walked into the door, Xue Xun complained to his wife: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Han muttered: "A son-in-law is half a son!" What's wrong with saying that it's a son, look at where your daughter is dressed after marriage? ”

Cui Xun wanted to say a few more words to his wife, Guo Song smiled and said: "We are just to enter the door, the speaker is unintentional, the listener has no intention, you can say whatever you want." ”

Xue Xun had no choice but to nod, "Okay! I'll go to the main church and sit down, and you'll walk around as you please. ”

At this time, a child of the Cui family stepped forward and said: "The female guests go to the West Mansion to rest, the male guests are in the East Mansion, and the banquets are all in the East Mansion, so you can go to find your own seat first." ”

"How are the seats arranged?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"Officials above the seventh grade themselves sit in the lobby, the officials' families are in the east greenhouse, and the businessmen and their families are in the west greenhouse, and the seats are not fixed, so they can sit at will."

Han Shi thought for a while and said, "Guo Gongzi, I'll take Tao'er to the West Courtyard to sit for a while, please go and see the seat first." ”

"Mother, I'm with Guo Lang." Xue Tao stood beside Guo Song and said.

"Tao'er, why are you ......" Han was really a little annoyed, he forgot about his mother before he got married.

Guo Song smiled: "Tao'er, you go with your mother!" I just walked around, and maybe I could meet acquaintances. ”

Xue Tao was still a little hesitant, and Guo Song said in a low voice: "Go!" Don't embarrass me. ”

Xue Tao nodded obediently, and followed her mother to Xifu, she glanced back at Guo Song again, and squeezed her fist lightly.

Guo Song understands that she is reminding herself to pay attention to safety.

At this time, a slender figure flashed out from a cluster of bamboo forests, it was Xiao Yu Niang, no one knew how she got in, she walked a few steps quickly, followed Xue Tao, and gently held her arm, just like a little sister holding her sister's hand.

With Xiao Yuniang following closely, Xue Tao was relieved, turned around and waved to Ailang, Guo Song nodded, turned around and walked towards the east greenhouse.

At this time, the entire Cui Mansion was full of people, basically all of them were wealthy businessmen in Chengdu, they were noisy and noisy, and there was still more than an hour before the banquet.

Guo Song almost didn't know anyone, so he was really a little bored.

"Brother Song!"

Someone suddenly shouted behind him, Guo Song didn't react, and shouted twice in a row, and Guo Song subconsciously turned around.

I saw a man hurrying to catch up, quite familiar.

"Brother Song forgot me?"

The man smiled, "I also bought you a piece of jade." ”

Guo Song suddenly suddenly, "You are Judge Wei!" ”

The man was Wei Gao, the judge of Jiannan Jiedu Mansion, and it was he who received Guo Song's letter and promptly informed Wei Kuan that Jiannan stayed behind, and transferred the Jiannan army back to Chengdu overnight, so that Chengdu City was not lost.

Wei Gao hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Brother Song for sending someone to deliver the letter in time, we are all grateful, Deputy Envoy Wei has repeatedly said that he wants to see you, why don't you go with me to meet Deputy Envoy Wei now?" ”

"Now?"

Guo Song couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, so he had to nod, "Okay then!" ”

Wei Gao was overjoyed, "Brother Xian, please come with me!" ”

Guo Song followed him towards the guest hall, and Wei Gao asked with a smile, "How did Brother Xian receive Cui Shuai's invitation?" ”

"I'm the junior of Xue Changshi in Jianzhou, and I'm here with him."

"That's right! You sent the news from Jianzhou, this time Xue Changshi is powerful, he actually ran hundreds of miles to attack Luzhou, captured Yang Zilin alive, and calmed down the war before the Jiannan Army sent troops, and it is certain that he will be promoted to assassin history. ”

Wei Gao suddenly asked, "Brother Xian should have also made a great contribution!" ”

"I've only done a little bit of my part, and I can't say anything about it."

"I think Brother Xian is too modest."

The two came to a side hall, only to see more than 20 people sitting in the hall, chatting about something, and a few family members sitting next to them.

One person in the middle is about fifty years old, with big ears and a dignified appearance, it is Shi Cuikuan, the governor of Jiannan Jiedu, who also serves as the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu.
