"Yue'er."

The white-clothed beauty standing quietly behind her was Shangguan Junyue.

"Congratulations to Master Hou." Shangguan Junyue bowed slightly with a smile.

"Long time no see." Jing Ge said, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I miss it very much.

"It's only been a few days since we met, how long." Shangguan Junyue glanced at him.

"Hehe..."Jing Ge laughed awkwardly, it seemed that it had not been a few days.

"What about Madame? I should go and say hello to her first. Shangguan Junyue asked.

"Here." Mother Jing, accompanied by Aunt Lan, walked out of the courtyard from the back hall.

"I've seen Madame, today is the day of His Royal Highness's marquis, my father wanted to come over in person to congratulate, but he was busy with military affairs and couldn't get out, so he ordered the little girl to come to send a congratulatory gift and greet Madame." Shangguan Junyue stepped forward and saluted, and said generously and decently.

"I have a heart, little girl, I haven't seen you for many years, but she looks so handsome and smart, come and let my aunt take a good look." Jing's mother beckoned her over, took her hand and said, "I haven't been here for more than ten years." ”

"Mrs. Hui, I haven't been here for thirteen years." Shangguan Junyue replied.

"Oh, it turns out that you have been studying medicine in the Medicine King Valley for thirteen years." Jing's mother nodded, "Now that I have returned from school, I will have to come here often in the future to sit and talk to my old man." ”

"Well, my niece must come over from time to time to say goodbye." Shangguan Junyue nodded in response.

"Okay, you have to come often, let my old bones be vibrant." Jing Mu turned her head and said to Wei Zifu and Yu Jue on the side.

"Madame, you are not old at all, as young as a fairy who has just set foot in the mortal world." Yu Jue said with a smile, what she said was the truth, Jing Mu would not be much inferior to a stunning beauty like Shangguan Junyue when she stood together.

It's just that the years have left some traces on her body after all, and the faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the peaceful wisdom in her eyes show that she has experienced many ups and downs.

"Eh, when I was a child, did Yue'er often come over to play?" Jing Ge heard the conversation between Shangguan Junyue and her mother just now, and said strangely.

"You kid, didn't Yue'er often come to play with you when I was a child, I can't remember it now, right?" Jing Mu said.

"Uh... I really don't remember much. Jing Ge looked at Shangguan Junyue, who curled the corners of his mouth and snickered, and didn't know what to say. When she met her at the Qi-Qin border before, she clearly said that it was the first time she saw her.

"Master Qiqi, the household member Wailang Zhan and others came to congratulate." Someone came in to tell you.

The guards kneeling on one knee in front of them and holding swords in armor were tall and imposing, and at a glance they knew that they were well-trained elite warriors. When will there be such a guard in the house?

"Thirty guards, fifteen maidservants, are congratulatory gifts from the Wei family." Wei Zifu said at the right time.

"Oh, I see. From then on, don't call me Lord Hou, call me old, call me Your Highness. Jing Ge said, "Invite them in." ”

"There are few officials here today, are they not afraid of getting involved in disasters and destroying their future?"

The people who came to congratulate were all poor civilians, and as we all know, Jing Ge not only had something to do with the rebel war king, but the most powerful king in the court, King Qi, also disliked him extremely much. Now that they are all courteous in King Qi's mansion, those who are not qualified to meet King Qi have gone to the Xie family's new earl to get acquainted with each other and have a good relationship. Only a few generals who had great respect for the former generalissimo Jing Qing sent congratulatory gifts.

Jing Ge walked to the courtyard to greet him, and after several officials who came saluted separately, Jing Ge invited them to take a seat.

"You are not afraid of getting into trouble?" Jing Ge was blunt, smiling at the few of them.

"It's just to congratulate you, what kind of trouble can you cause." A dark-faced Chen Chen said.

"I'm not very likable in the court, and you don't know it." Jing Ge continued.

"Right and wrong, at ease in the hearts of the people, they don't like it, I admire His Highness's courage very much." Exhibition answers.

"Oh, I'm really surprised that you're here, I thought you were busy congratulating His Royal Highness." Jing Ge said.

"Alas, even if I wait to go to the Qiwang Mansion with a cheeky face, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the mansion, there are so many powerful people there, why bother going there to join in the fun, it's better to try my luck at the Hou Ye's Mansion and see if I can ask for a glass of wine." Another bearded man with small eyes said.

"If you don't mind having a drink with all the friends in this room, just drink it with your belly open." Jing Ge said with a smile.

"What did Your Highness say about this, could it be that he thinks that we will dislike these people." The bearded man stared at the table and stood up. "You ask the brothers and sisters present, there are a few people who don't know me Lao Hu, to be honest, we are here today because you have hosted a banquet for them."

Jing Ge looked around, looking at everyone's expressions, he knew that what he said was true, and the few people who came here were one of the few good officials in the eyes of these poor people.

"It's a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I punish myself with three cups to apologize." Jing Ge looked at this rough man who slapped the table with him, and he was very happy in his heart, and at first glance, he knew that he was an upright person, and he apologized neatly. It's easiest to deal with this kind of person.

"Brother Hu, please forgive me." Jing Ge said sincerely.

This made him embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Don't dare, Your Highness is bold, it seems that you didn't come to the wrong place today." ”

"Hey, this old Hu is good for wine." Several people in the room laughed.

"Everyone, please take care of yourself, forgive me for being rude, and I will not accompany you for a while." Jing Ge got up, his eyes swept over the few people present, and silently remembered it in his heart.

"Oh, Your Highness, you are busy, don't worry about a few of us." Several people stood up and returned the salute.

Jing Ge found a loophole. Sneaking into the backyard where no one was around, although the banquet in the forecourt was for him, and he was grateful to the guests present, but he didn't like it by nature. He quietly walked away. The noisy crowd was so busy eating and drinking that they didn't notice that the protagonist was gone, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.

Mother Jing and Mrs. Wei didn't eat and drink with them in the front garden, maybe the eating appearance of those people was really unsightly, Mother Jing took care of the children of these rich and noble families, and deliberately set up a table or two on the gazebo in the backyard.

"Find that friend of yours and bring her to the house, huh?" Shangguan Junyue walked over and whispered, with a shallow smile, and his expression was unpredictable.

"It's because her relatives don't want to take her in, so she lives here because she is homeless." Jing Ge hurriedly explained.

Shangguan Junyue nodded noncommittally, grabbed his wrist with his probing hand, and pressed his fingers on the vein.

"Am I sick?" Jing Ge asked in surprise. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, but Shangguan Junyue seemed to think that there was something wrong with his body, and repeatedly checked his pulse and diagnosed him, which made his doubts more and more intense.

"Well, so you're going to take your pills on time, you know?" Shangguan Junyue nodded and asked.

Jing Ge turned her hand and wanted to hold Shangguan Junyue's hand, but she keenly avoided it.

"You and I are just friends, don't do anything wrong." She took two steps back to distance herself.

"Oh, got it." Jing Ge frowned and replied, probably because there are so many people here, she is not too embarrassed, especially Jing Mu is also here. Jing Ge thought innocently.

"Hey, what about Zijie?" Jing Ge and Yue'er approached everyone and found that they hadn't seen the three of them here today.

Wei Zifu snorted lightly, "Ran to Zhibo's Mansion to make trouble." ”

Jing Ge was dumbfounded, but he wasn't too worried, in this imperial capital, no matter how much the Wei family and grandson tossed, it wouldn't be too dangerous, even the Xie family didn't dare to do anything to him.

"They're righteous enough."

"Yes, a few of them are righteous enough, unlike someone, who knows how to take advantage of others." Wei Zifu looked at Jing Ge and said faintly.

"Someone? Who's someone, where is someone, get out of here. Jing Ge looked around and said loudly, pretending not to know.

"Don't give me a hippie smile here, you asked Zijie to steal the confidential information of the Wei family for you, do you think I don't know?" Wei Zifu snorted coldly and said it directly in front of Jing's mother.

It turned out to be about it, Jing Ge touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Uh... I didn't think this was a secret of the Wei family, but I was abrupt. Jing Ge said sincerely. If there is anything that needs to trouble the Wei family in the future, I will directly ask Sister Wei for help. ”

Wei Zifu was speechless in annoyance, and said, "It's really shameless to bring it over so lightly." ”

"For the sake of Madame, I forgave you this time, and if there is a next time, don't blame me for not being affectionate." Wei Zifu squinted at Jing Ge.

Jing Mu never interjected, just looked at them with a smile.

"Thank you for the kind-hearted, fairy-like Sister Wei." Jing Ge hurriedly complimented him.

Shangguan Junyue listened to the conversation between the two of them on the side, and sighed with emotion, "The Wei family is unfathomable, I'm afraid they have mastered many secret things." ”

Wei Zifu tilted his head, glanced deeply at Guan Junyue, and then smiled and said meaningfully, "I don't have much to master, but it's enough." ”

"Really?" Shangguan Junyue also smiled faintly and said noncommittally.

The conversation between the two of them seemed to contain some special meaning, Jing Ge condensed his eyes, speculating in his heart.

"But what's the use of knowing those things?" Yu Jue asked in a daze, obviously she was also aware of the strange atmosphere between the two, and tried to say something to break the atmosphere.

Wei Zifu and Shangguan Junyue didn't answer her, they just smiled and sat down at the table.

Yu Jue wrinkled her nose and looked at Jing Ge a little aggrieved, probably thinking that no one paid attention to her and made her look stupid.

"Information, for ordinary people, it is worthless, and for those who know how to use it, it is much more precious than real money. It can be the sharpest sword, the strongest shield, or the thread that pulls everything, and it is worth a fortune. Jing Ge explained to her.

"Oh." Yu Jue nodded as if she didn't understand. lowered her head to eat, pretending not to see Shangguan Junyue, who was looking at her coldly.

She felt that Shangguan Junyue seemed to dislike her very much, and was even more hostile to her than Wei Zifu, but she didn't know why.

"Miss, today is the day of His Royal Highness the prince's marquis. You should go and offer a congratulatory gift to show your heart. Gifts are ready. ”

In the plantain courtyard of Meixianglou, the maidservant reminded the girl who was sitting in front of the desk and contemplating.

"I've never met him, do I have to go?" Yu Yun asked softly.

"Although we haven't met, your deed is with Your Highness. is already his person, and His Highness has said that he will marry you as a concubine. It's better to go anyway. The handmaid replied.

"No, no." Yu Yun thought for a moment.

"I'm afraid that Your Highness will think that you are ignorant, and for the concubine, if you can't please those adults, you will definitely have a miserable life in the future." The handmaiden continued.

"Isn't it miserable enough? I didn't bother to please him. Yu Yun said calmly.

"Miss, you don't have to worry about food and clothing now, and you don't have to look at anyone's face, how can you be miserable, and others can't envy you." The maidservant said puzzledly, feeling that she was in the midst of blessings and did not know the blessings.

Yu Yun smiled gloomily and stopped answering, she didn't understand, there were many things that were much more important than food and clothing.

Qi Lao, who was lying on the high rattan chair in Meixianglou, put down the teacup in his hand, shook his head, sighed, got up and walked out.
