Chapter 167: The Banquet of the Ji Mansion

All the people present were some people, and they originally had a wait-and-see attitude, but seeing General Ji like this, the wait-and-see became echoed, and one by one they began to follow General Ji's wishes, brewing compliments.

"Thank you, General." Ji Zhaozhang made a gesture and sat down calmly.

An official asked seemingly casually: "Lord Xiao Ji is young and promising, and he has the same surname Ji, I don't know if he is a relative of General Ji."

General Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "He Ziji, naturally he can't be my relative, but I see that this young man is full of vitality and is a rare good seedling. ”

"Look at what the general said, you are young, not old, not old at all."

"That's it, if you say old, then what should we do Now when I look in the mirror every day, I can see the folds on my face, which is like General Ji, your face is full of red light, and you look like a young man in his thirties."

These officials said flattering words, and General Ji had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely clear.

Obviously, General Ji has heard this kind of thing a lot, so he naturally doesn't really take it to heart.

After letting these people blow a few words, General Ji said: "Calling you over today, in fact, there is only one purpose, this Lord Xiao Ji has just arrived, and he is not very familiar with the various operations of the capital, and after he officially takes office, I hope you will take more care of him." ”

Hearing this, everyone present was inevitably surprised.

To be appreciated by the dignified general and invited to the banquet is already a big face, and this new Lord Xiao Ji actually got the help of the general himself, this, what a big face

It's hard to do it

Many officials began to look at their colleagues who knew each other well.

They all had the same thought in their hearts: Could it be that today's banquet is for this season's adults

reacted quickly, and quickly took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, general, since you are a young man who even said that the general said well, we naturally believe it," said and looked at Ji Zhaozhang: "Little Lord Ji, if there is anything useful in the future, just come to this official." ”

General Ji introduced: "This

It is the doctor of Guanglu Temple, Zhang Zhongzhi and Lord Zhang. ”

Ji Zhaozhang's expression was calm and respectful: "Thank you Lord Zhang for your kindness." ”

Zhang Zhongzhi made a start, and the rest of the officials also surrendered one after another, and General Ji introduced them to Ji Zhaozhang one by one.

Although Ji Zhaozhang doesn't like to flatter and cling to the powerful, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the world, General Ji is mixed in the middle, and the scene quickly became a piece, Ji Zhaozhang talked with these people, not like he just came from a small place like Xijiao County, but like a noble son who has been in the capital for several years and has a good identity and bearing.

In this way, it is really good that these officials have a preliminary impression of Ji Zhaozhang, no wonder they can get into the eyes of the dignified general

Soon, there were more and more guests and officials who came to the banquet, and after everyone arrived, everyone moved to the flower hall, and General Ji introduced Ji Zhaozhang to this group of people again.

If so, it was only three days after coming to the capital, and Ji Zhaozhang's fame had already been completely launched in the upper circles of the capital.

The men were talking in the front hall, and the ladies in the backyard were not idle.

Previously, because of Xie Jingliang, Ji Wanyi was really laughed at in the capital.

But the matter has come to this point, and the marriage contract between the two families cannot be annulled because of this, so after discussing with General Ji, Meng decided to take the initiative.

Their old Xie family is not the kind of person who shrinks into a turtle shell and doesn't dare to come out when something happens.

The style of the Ji family is that as long as they don't do it wrong, the more fierce the people outside say, the more their family members have to hold their heads up and be above board

Since they were all waiting to see the jokes of the Ji family girl outside, they would take the opportunity of General Ji to pick up the wind for Ji Zhaozhang to hold a banquet and let everyone in the capital see it

Therefore, in the backyard of the General's Mansion, Meng consciously handed over the right to host the banquet to Ji Wanyi.

During this time, because of Xie Jingliang's relationship, Ji Wanyi was depressed at home for a long time, and Meng suddenly asked her to take care of the banquet, and Ji Wanyi could understand her old mother's intentions with her fingers.

Although it is for my own good, it is not necessary at all.

She though because of

I don't feel good about Xie Jingliang's affairs, but it hasn't reached the point where I can't go on because of the change in marriage.

Even if the marriage contract between her and Xie Jingliang is canceled like this, she is still Ji Wanyi.

You will be sad and sad, but you will still live a good life.

Ji Wanyi greeted the ladies of the various officials' families, and looked at them with dignity and looked at her expression.

Look, these women in the back house are all curious about her, how can she do what they wish and let them see their sad and embarrassed side

The marriage between her and Xie Jingliang is a blessing, but if not, it is fate. Nothing to dwell on

"Wanyi," a voice behind her suddenly shouted.

This voice is very familiar to Ji Wanyi, this is the voice of her former rival and current friend, Zhao Zhen'er

Speaking of the old lady from the family, it is also interesting, the banquet held at home, Ji Wanyi thought that almost all the officials in the court and their daughters were invited, so if Zhao Zhen'er's family was not invited, it would be a little unseemly, after all, the two of them have now shaken hands and become friends.

But Meng Shi had a grudge against Zhao Zhen'er, so Ji Wanyi went to ask Meng Shi about his meaning before sending out the invitation.

Meng naturally didn't want Zhao Zhen'er to come, but thinking that her daughter had been in a bad mood recently, she finally opened her mouth once, and she couldn't refuse, so she patiently agreed.

Ji Wanyi could see it clearly, and at the moment when Zhao Zhen'er called out her name, Meng Shi, who heard the voice and followed the voice, showed a look of disgust on his face. However, it was immediately covered up by Meng's family.

There are many female relatives of official eunuchs in the capital who know the fact that Ji Wanyi and Zhao Zhen'er have not dealt with each other for many years, and during this time, most of them only care about gossiping about Ji Wanyi's rights and wrongs, but they don't know much about Zhao Zhen'er's side.

Zhao Zhen'er went to the Xie family and the Ji family to apologize that day, and it has long been rumored, but no one knows what the reason is.

Because of this, everyone thought that if Zhao Zhen'er apologized to the Ji family, there was only one result, that is, Zhao Zhen'er hated Ji Wanyi even more

But looking at the current situation, it seems that something is not quite right
