The sisters stood beside Mu Chen, thinking that they were called for Guo Erniu's case, but just after the introduction, they said that they were back to the pass, and they were like this when they first met Wei Gonglu, Chunyue looked at the lonely and arrogant Mu Chen, and Jiayue was surrounded by his hands, his face full of impatience.

Hearing Quan Yuren's reply, Mu Chen raised his voice: "Really, then there is His Royal Highness Prince Lao Ren." ”

"If you ask me, compliment me, and then remember my Highness, haha. However, the pass can't be obtained immediately, the current merchant group pass is issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself, he has been unwell recently and has not seen anyone, I'm afraid..."

"I know this, Wei Gonglu has said, you can handle it as soon as possible, I don't plan to leave Baoling Prefecture immediately, there are many places here that the two of them haven't been to. ”

"That's good, that's good, I don't know if the two girls are still used to living in Baoling City?" Quan Yuren looked at the two sisters with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for the old city lord's concern, it's all good. Junyue replied politely.

"By the way, why do you live in Lord Wei's private house, why didn't you stay in the council house, which is the center of the city, with developed transportation and many merchants, especially suitable for you..."

"Your son doesn't welcome us. Jiayue interrupted Quan Yuren in an arrogant tone.

"Jiayue. Mu Chen reproached.

"Oops... Hehe, Xiao'er is newly promoted, he is cautious in doing things, he doesn't know how to deal with other races, where to offend the girl, it's no wonder, today the old man is in charge, Mu Chen, you better move back. ”

"I'm not going..."

"Shut up, Junyue will take her down. ”

"You..." Junyue covered Jiayue's mouth and pulled her back.

"This wasteland girl is really temperamental, informal, hehe. Quan Yuren smiled helplessly.

"We won't go to the council, there is a bit of a conflict with the small city lord, but the main thing is that I don't like the environment there, it's good here, quiet and comfortable. ”

"Why don't I find you a house again, the scenery is no different from here, it's really inappropriate to always disturb Lord Wei. ”

"Eh, the old city lord is wrong, the old man and Mu Chen have also known each other for many years, and they have done their best to be a landlord, which is understandable. ”

"Heh, these two old friends are really interesting. ”

The two asked Mu Chen about his experience in the wasteland, his plans after returning, etc., and when it was close to noon, they were about to leave, and as soon as they took two steps, Quan Yuren turned around and said, "I almost forgot the most important thing." Mu Chen, tonight there will be a banquet in the council to welcome you, and all the nobles in the state will attend, you must come. With that, he quickly walked out of the hospital, not giving Mu Chen a chance to refuse.

Mu Chen looked at the back of him leaving without saying a word, and thought of the two merchant group passes, and reluctantly agreed.

After everyone left, Jia Yue walked up to Mu Chen angrily, pointed at his nose and said, "If you dare to shut me up again, I will kill you." ”

"First female summoner, I was wrong, wrong, but please let you lose your temper next time, he has been in charge of Baoling Prefecture for nearly thirty years, and he is the real master here, not his arrogant son, people treat each other politely, but you have a rude attitude, isn't it?"

"I..."

"What do you say, all morning, I'm hungry, eat. ”

Quan Yuren got into the carriage, looked at Quan Mingde who was kicked out early in the morning and sighed, the father and son did not communicate all the way, and they were all silent.

When he arrived at the council, Wei Rou was already waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw Quan Yuren, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and after briefly asking about his physical condition and lunch dishes, he didn't talk much, and carried him into the bedroom. Later, he went to serve the whole name, but as soon as he arrived at his study, he was turned away, so he had to go to the kitchen to check the meal.

The chief manager, Chen You, followed Quan Yuren and Wei Rou, and when Wei Rou left, Quan Yuren summoned him into the bedroom and ordered the servants of the royal guard to guard the door, not allowing anyone to disturb him.

"What else do you know about the Merchant Pass?"

"Back to the master, the old slave only knows that Mu Chen has discussed this matter with the Imperial Eunuch, and the rest is not clear. ”

"Didn't Wei Gonglu have any unusual behavior during this time?"

Since Mu Chen came back, he took the initiative to participate in political affairs, and he was more active than before, but this is also related to the young master's self-isolation, and he has frequently met with major nobles recently, and even visited the door, what he talked about, the old slave didn't know. ”

"Then I'll be clear, you go down, I'm tired, I'll eat here in a while, and I won't go out. ”

"Yes. ”

"Wait, the meal of the evening feast, the furnishings of the hall, the order of the seats, the servants who accompany you, etc., you must personally inspect and supervise them, and do not make any mistakes. Around seven o'clock, let Mingde... Forget it, let Wei Rou take my car to the Garden Building to pick up Mu Chen, and I will definitely pick up all of them, including the child from Qiming Village. ”

"Yes. ”

After Quan Yuren finished lunch, he told Lao Chen to wake him up at six o'clock, the old man was running for several days, the journey was tiring, and he took advantage of the time to quickly supplement his sleep to cope with the banquet at night, as for the doubts left, he was ready to solve it after expressing his position to Mu Chen, at present, everything is mainly based on Mu Chen, and what he wants is not just about the change of power in Baoling Prefecture, but a greater change of power.

Wei Gonglu returned to the mansion in a happy mood, according to what he thought, Quan Yuren did not refuse the matter of the merchant group pass, the next step was to seize this opportunity to separate the relationship between him and the nobles, and then use his sister to secretly obstruct him, so that he could not get the pass smoothly and lost his trust in Mu Chen.

He didn't even eat lunch, and went directly into the study to write a letter to his sister, the current queen Wei Minxian, and he laid out the plan and let her respond in Diyang to ensure that it went smoothly.

After everything was taken care of, he fell asleep in the study, until Wei Rou's cronies came to report that he would go to greet Mu Chen on behalf of Quan Yuren, and also asked him if he would go with him to show his attention.

Since Wei Rou talked with Wei Gonglu, she firmly believed that her uncle had been trying his best to maintain the relationship between the two families, and she also firmly believed that what she had done would sooner or later save her full name, so if there was any disturbance in the council, she would notify her uncle Wei Gonglu as soon as possible and act according to his arrangement.

Wei Gonglu handed the reply to the messenger and wrote: "Rou'er's idea is feasible, and the consideration of things is more comprehensive than that of me, who is an uncle, and we have a successor to the Wei family." ”

At six o'clock in the evening, Lao Chen woke up Quan Yuren on time, waited for him to wash and change clothes, and reported the preparations for the banquet.

Quan Mingde still stayed in his study dejectedly, the strong fear in his body at first had been covering the anger in his heart, but now seeing his father's obedience to Mu Chen, it was inevitable that he would feel a little sad in his heart, he was like a volcano about to erupt, and the anger in his chest was accumulated like turning over the river and the sea, but he was sealed by the sadness and coldness that was as thin as a cicada's wings, not giving him any chance to erupt.

Lao Chen brought Quan Mingde into Quan Yuren's bedroom, closed the door and retreated, Quan Yuren glanced at his listless son, and said: "You can show your face tonight, the nobles of the whole state are here, restrain your behavior, don't lose your dignity." ”

"Hmph, Erchen has no face, and there is nothing to lose. ”

"Don't say these frustrating words, you are the only heir of Baoling State, and you are the future of mankind... Forget it, remember, keep your mouth shut. ”

"Heir, I am incontinent in front of everyone, and my cowardly appearance is exposed, will you let such a person decide your fate?

"I know that you have been humiliated by the public, but all those who have achieved great things will have a past that they do not want to mention, and when you have the status above ten thousand people, then all the humiliations of others will become good stories and will be remembered for centuries. ”

"Becoming a great thing? Relying on flattery and flattery to shameless and arrogant aliens, relying on selling one's soul and flesh to win charity with contempt, or relying on the joy of being willing to degenerate into an eagle dog, if it is relying on these, none of the sons can do it. ”

"You are presumptuous, how dare you talk to your father like this. Come, bring him down, and you will take part in the feast, and you will not say a word. The royal guards took his full name away, and Lao Chen hurriedly came in to appease Quan Yuren's emotions.

Wei Rou and his uncle Wei Gonglu went to pick up Mu Chen together, and when they arrived at the entrance of the Garden Building, everyone was about to go out, and they hurriedly stepped up to meet them, and asked in a concerned and slightly reproachful tone: "Mu Chen, didn't you say that you were going to attend the reception dinner in the council?

"Yes, Lord Mu Chen, my father ordered me and my uncle to come and pick you up, can you leave us behind and let us return empty, we can't explain. Wei Rou continued.

"Well, we're going to the banquet, and who knows they're going to send you two to pick us up. ”

"Oh... Oh, the old man misunderstood, the old man thought you were going to go out somewhere else, hehe... Hehe, misunderstanding. Wei Gonglu didn't expect Mu Chen to agree to attend the banquet, and on the way here, he kept telling Wei Rou that he would persuade him to participate no matter what method he used, but the situation in front of him was beyond his expectations, so he had to smile to hide his embarrassment.

"Lord Mu Chen, what about the boy named Guo Erniu?" asked Wei Rou.

"He doesn't have to go, a child who has just lost his parents and can't be treated justly, attending this kind of banquet will only make him more disheartened, and it will not be good for his future life. ”

"But..."

"Mu Chen is right, you take care of him here, let's go. Wei Gonglu stopped Wei Rou, and ordered the attendants of the Garden Building, and then took the group into the carriage.

"Mu Chen, since the old city lord of Qiming Village's case and the merchant group pass has agreed, you don't have to worry anymore, you have been busy dealing with what should have been the old man's job for a few days, and it really makes the old man embarrassed in front of your old friend, this time seeing that everything can be properly resolved, you open your heart and enjoy the banquet held for you this time, don't worry about it anymore. ”

"Okay, okay, listen to you, you two old guys are safe and thoughtful, I won't worry about it, and tonight's banquet will definitely not make trouble, hahahaha. ”

Jia Yue, who was sitting next to her, narrowed her eyes and glared at Mu Chen, and let out a contemptuous "tsk".

"Ahhh Wei Gonglu and Wei Rou hurriedly laughed so as not to embarrass the atmosphere.
