Chapter 118: Hospitality
Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge both tacitly did not mention the matter of Shen Youyou at the beginning, at that time, one was not in love, and the other was not taken seriously, which was not very elegant.
When he received the post from the Prime Minister's Office, Yan Wushuang was still a little surprised, and after knowing that it was because of Liu Tuan's matter, he promised to go early.
On this day, Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge invited Ning Qing to the palace side by side as guests, but Ning Qing lived up to the appreciation of the saint, this gentleman is like jade, elegant and square, it is indeed the best adjective for Ning Qing.
"Ning Gongzi is indeed a gentleman's style, no wonder he is so liked by the saints, even when I see it, I also feel comfortable physically and mentally, and my eyes light up."
Ning Qing originally thought that after Yan Wushuang knew about those grievances and grievances, he would stumble on himself, and he was still a little apprehensive when he came to the door, but now he felt that the county lord of Cheng'an was quite cute.
Especially when Zhan Ge heard her words, his eyes were cold when he looked at him, and he quickly opened his mouth to excuse himself when his desire to survive was extremely strong.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's less than two-tenths of the prince, they all say that the lover's eyes are out of Xi Shi, I'm afraid in the eyes of the lady, the prince is the best-looking."
Yan Wushuang glanced at Zhan Ge, and he also appreciated Ning Qing even more, but those words that were easy to make Zhan Ge jealous still couldn't be said.
"Yes, although Zhan Ge is not my lover, and my husband is the same, there are many men in the world, but I am happy with one person, and the others are all blind, so, the prince can rest assured?"
looked at Zhan Ge jokingly, this sincere confession directly choked Zhan Ge, his ears were a little red, and he glanced at Ning Qing, who was looking at the floor, and then gave Fang Zheng Yan Wushuang's restless hand.
"Well, what about today's banquet, if you have anything to say in private."
Yan Wushuang silently rolled his eyes: "False serious."
Hurriedly beckoned Ning Qing to sit down, and sent someone to serve tea and pastries.
"This is a newly made pastry in the house, a newly invited chef from Jiangnan, Ning Gongzi will see if he likes it, if he likes it, he will let people prepare some as a gift."
Yan Wushuang is very interested in eating, and recently, he has been recruiting chefs from the palace side by side, and the whole capital knows about it, but speaking of which, the pastries that have been drawn out of the front line have become more and more abundant recently.
"The lord of Cheng'an can't see it, or is he such a money-saving person? The prince was able to get this wife, and he was also fortunate for three lives. ”
"The family is big and the business is big, and there are so many people to feed, so naturally we have to save." Yan Wu propped his chin and looked sad, in this case, Zhan Ge would have no way to say it, after all, the wealth of the palace side by side is indeed rare in the capital.
Ning Gongzi lowered his head and smiled slightly, the breeze came, at least, the Shuangshuang behind Yan Wushuang was fascinated.
"This time, there was also an order from my father, back then, the matter of the county lord's grandmother was also the Ning family's lax discipline, and after the matter of the capital was passed back, my father made a solution, and in the future, the people over there can no longer entangle the county lord."
"As for the dowry withheld by the county lord's grandmother, it was also sent to the capital by my father's order, and the county lord has the final say on what to do."
Yan Wushuang also has a number in his heart, and he really appreciates the open-mindedness of the head of the Ning family, no wonder he can have such a child.
"Okay, then thank you very much, if there is anything in the future, you are always welcome."
Ning Qing bowed his head slightly, and bowed his head apologetically: "Be polite, it's a negligence in the family, when my grandfather was there, the third uncle kept crying and begging, and finally punished him slightly, and this matter is over." In fact, I also sent people to the capital to look for my aunt, but I didn't find it. ”
Yan Wushuang doesn't remember much about the events of that year, many of them were told to her by Yan Zhongshu, after so many years, even if she is to blame, it should be the fault of the person concerned, not his.
"Now that the past has passed, there is no need to say more, but what I do next will not involve the Ning family, please rest assured that Ning Gongzi will do this."
When Ning Qing heard this, he admired Yan Wushuang's generosity more and more, got up and bowed, and bent down until ninety degrees, which showed his sincerity.
"You're polite, that's the truth, if Ning Gongzi talks about it, he will still be my cousin, it's just that I don't want to know much about the affairs of the Ning family, and it doesn't hurt to get closer in the future."
Saying that, Yan Wushuang gave Zhan Ge a look, although Zhan Ge was a little unhappy, but he didn't lose Yan Wushuang's face.
"Although Ning Gongzi said that he has a house in the capital, it is not as intimate as his family, so the palace welcomes you in the future, and Wushuang also specially asked people to clean up a yard for you, you also know that she has no mother's family, if Ning Gongzi doesn't mind......"
"Naturally not, I won't say much about the rest of the Ning family, but as the heir of the Ning family, I welcome the county lord to the Ning family at any time, and you can rest assured that no one will dare to make trouble."
Ning Qing still smiled softly, but the sharpness in his eyes really couldn't be ignored, this person was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The atmosphere in the flower hall gradually calmed down, although he was a little jealous of Ning Qing, but Zhan Ge's attitude was still very good, and Yan Wushuang was not joking like just now.
After all, in this world, cousins and cousins are really a model of Lalang's matching.
Outside, a carriage marking the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly arrived, and after Rouyi lifted the curtain and saw the signs on it, the maid was ordered to go.
After a few moments, the butler entered the flower hall.
"Madam, general, Miss Sun of the Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived, saying that she is here to find Madame."
I didn't expect someone to come today, Yan Wushuang subconsciously looked at Ning Qing: "That's Miss Liu Tuan of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who has performed in front of the palace before, if you don't mind......"
Although the folk customs are open now, the unmarried banquet for men and women is nothing, but before it was said, there was only Ning Qing.
"Oh, it's okay, what should be said has been said, and it's not good to let the noble girl wait."
Ning Qing is still quite interested in this Miss Liu, but she was already engaged at the beginning, and now, it is really a good opportunity, the beautiful eye mask flashed with interest, and was seen by Zhan Ge.
However, it is also very annoying that Liu Tuan comes to Yan Wushuang from time to time, if there is a person, it is also a good way to hook Liu Tuan away, so he expressed his silence about it.
Liu Tuan, who was dressed in a simple cyan dress, thanked the housekeeper for his leadership and walked into the flower hall.
"The courtier Liu Tuan has seen the prince and princess, Lord Ning."
Yan Wushuang stepped forward to help Liu Tuan up, and the smile on his face unconsciously brought closeness, which made Zhan Ge a little jealous.
"Why did you come here? I thought the prime minister was going to keep you in the palace for a while. ”
Liu Tuan held Yan Wushuang's arm very easily, and in the end, he looked at Ning Qing embarrassedly, and was dazzled by the handsome beauty that suddenly appeared, and his ears were involuntarily dyed pink.
"Grandmother ordered the jewelry in the Qianjin Pavilion should be taken, I don't worry about others, so I went, came back just in time, so I decided to sit down, I didn't know you had a guest at that time."
Seeing everything, Ning Qing got up and bowed his hand in return, holding a handsome and beautiful face: "Miss Liu is polite, but it's just saying some homely words, and it doesn't matter."
After taking their seats, Ning Qing and Liu Tuan talked softly, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge also nodded their heads.
"If it's Ning Qing, then it's okay."
Zhan Ge understood what she meant, and shook his head helplessly, he was not Liu Tuan's family, why did he care so much?
A few days after the treat, when he went to court, the prime minister praised Ning Qing, the new champion, and seemed to appreciate it.
And Ning Qing was also invited to the door, and the prime minister and his wife liked it very much.
Yan Wushuang can be regarded as inadvertently facilitating a marriage.
"But it's too early to say this, I'm afraid this time, the prime minister didn't let Liu Tuan marry so easily." There was inevitably schadenfreude in his voice, and Yan Wushuang was also very bad.
Zhan Ge took away the notebook in her hand and asked Shuangshuang to clean up the melon seed skin on the ground: "It's your cousin, you can't watch you can't marry a daughter-in-law, right?"
"What do you know, good things are grinding, otherwise, how do you know how to cherish them? When I married you, I thought it was too easy. ”
Between the words, there is a bit of regret.
Zhan Ge refused to discuss this topic: "Your grandmother's dowry should have arrived in the next two days, and when you go to court today, the Holy Lord will let you go to the palace tomorrow, and he misses you."
There is Shen Jianyou in the front, Ning Qing in the back, plus a close friend in the boudoir Liu Tuan, and the saint in the palace, although the last one is a child, but it is also a man, Zhan Ge still feels a little pressured.
"It's okay, the new jam is ready, just send it to him, and he has been greedy." Yan Wushuang still calls Lin'er for the saint, and he doesn't have so much evasion, and the saint likes to get along like this.
Sensing that something was wrong with Zhan Ge, he hurriedly remedied: "There are also yours, and what is given to him is a little, and yours is the big one."
Although Zhan Ge's expression did not change much, Yan Wushuang knew that his heart should be happy.
"The exposure of the Ning family's matter, is there any movement on King Tang's side?" Yan Wushuang was a little curious, carefully arranged such a big situation, how could he suddenly be honest.
"Not yet, there is some instability in the north, and it has been dealt with recently, Tang Wang, although he doesn't know where his ambition comes from, but the best point, in the face of national righteousness, he can barely distinguish it."
Yan Wushuang nodded approvingly, "If the country is gone, what's the point of sitting on the throne, but speaking of which, King Tang is indeed very low-key, many years ago, although I have seen it, but I have forgotten what he looks like." ”
“…… King Tang's mother was just a palace maid back then, and her appearance was a little ordinary. The movements in Zhan Ge's hands paused, so explained.
"Oh, that's no wonder."
Yan Wushuang didn't say much, this topic ended here, after all, it's indeed a bit shameful to only remember your face or something.
