Chapter 348: The Emperor Arrives in Person
At noon, Mengfu.
"Mrs. Yu, that little uncle Sun is here again yesterday!"
"Again?" Hearing Xiaoyu's words, he couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that this Sun Lian still hasn't given up on himself?
No, when I left yesterday, didn't I say it was good?
"Did he come alone?"
"No, I also brought four little eunuchs and picked a lot of things." Shen Cong said.
"Is he here to give a gift to your husband?"
"Mrs. Rain, the prince is not here, do you want to see it?" Shen Cong asked.
"Since your son-in-law is not here, I will be gone, let Mr. Cai come forward to meet him, right?" Wen Xiaoyu thought for a while, although Sun Lian is now a eunuch, after all, Sun Lian had pursued her madly before.
After all, such a relationship once existed, and there would always be gossip when she came out to meet her, especially since she had only been married into the Meng family for a few days.
"Yes."
The living room of the Mon Mansion.
"I'm not here again, Steward Cai, where has your Lord Meng gone?" Sun Lian's expression was weird, why was Meng Yan not there every time he came.
"Little uncle, our father-in-law went out early in the morning, and he was really not at home." Cai Jin explained very carefully.
"Then send someone to find it?"
"Our father-in-law never explained to us who did things, and we didn't know where we went, so all we had to do was wait."
"Wait, you're making me have to wait again?" Sun Lian was a little angry.
"Little uncle, the old man has already sent someone out to find it. But everyone in the house can't all go to the street to find someone, right? ”
This is a soft nail, Sun Lian heard it 100%, but he couldn't help it, he came with an order.
Today he had to meet Meng Yan and complete the task given to him by his aunt.
"Steward Cai, there are still a lot of things going on in my palace, can you send more people to find them, where does your Lord Meng usually go?"
"Little uncle, we have sent people to the place where our father-in-law goes, and there is no news yet."
"Then wait." Sun Lian was very helpless. He couldn't help anything like this. I want to get angry, but I can't find a partner.
"Jinyi Wei is here, Liu Jing, Lord Liu is here!"
"Little uncle, I don't have to accompany you, I have to go to receive guests!" Cai Jin hurriedly got up. This Wu Banxian'er. I don't know where Meng Yan found it.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway! ”
"Lord Yang Dan has arrived!"
When Yang Dan came, Sun Lian was slightly surprised and walked out involuntarily.
The person who came was indeed Yang Dan, the son of Yang Pu. Although the status of the two Yang and Meng families is very different, Meng Yan is the life-saving benefactor of Yang Pu and Yang Ge Lao.
"Uncle Sun is also there?" Seeing Sun Lian, Yang Dan was also shocked.
"Young Master Yang is here?" Sun Lian smiled and arched his hand, "I don't know how Old Man Yang is recovering, the Queen Mother was still talking about it yesterday." ”
"My father is well, thank you for the Queen Mother's concern." Although Yang Dan didn't like Sun Lian, he was also a little jealous of Sun Lian's identity, and he was busy with his body at the moment.
"Young Master Yang, little uncle, please serve tea in the living room!"
"Steward Cai, where is your Master Meng?"
"Our son-in-law went out and hasn't come back yet!"
"It's strange, today he is on his birthday, why is he, the master, not at home?" Yang Dan asked a little weirdly.
"Young Master Yang, our eldest son didn't want to do a big deal, so he didn't send any invitations, so he went out early in the morning to do something." Cai Jin explained.
"Errand, what is there to do during this New Year?"
"Young Master Yang, the case handed over by the Holy Lord is only one month, and our Gongzi can't wait to break one day into two days, and we can't delay it for a moment."
"Yes, Yang Dan was rude just now, Steward Cai, there is a place for Yang Dan, say it, Yang Dan will never refuse!" Yang Dan said solemnly.
"Thank you Yang Gongzi for my son-in-law!" Cai Jin bowed deeply.
"It should be, it should be."
"The Imperial History and Inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has made the right inspector Li Duo and Lord Li arrive!"
"Ouch, I'm sorry, the old decay passed first......"
"Master Wen Liangdong of Tai Hospital has arrived!
……
Daohe's guests came one after another, Jinyiwei and Tai Hospital came the most, after all, Meng Yan was the most familiar with these two yamen people, and Meng Yan knew fewer people from other yamen.
After a while, the seemingly empty courtyard of this Meng Mansion was full of officials and entourages who had come to congratulate them.
Cai Jin ordered people to take out the chairs and stools in the house, the living room was too small to sit so many people, and people could not sit separately, so they could only be arranged in the courtyard.
It was the first time for Cai Jin to have such a big scene, and he had no experience, and the old man was sweating on his forehead.
On a cold day, it's not bad to let everyone sit in the yard and bask in the sun during the day, but what about at night?
The tea has been renewed three times, and some of them are more than three times, and Niu Dali, who came first, is no longer a guest.
So many people are waiting for Meng Yan to come back, they come to celebrate their birthday, they can't leave without seeing the master.
This is not very polite, not to mention that now everyone knows that this Meng Yan is a saint, and it is the time to build a good relationship, and when he leaves at this time, what do people think in their hearts?
What's more, Uncle Sun and Young Master Yang are waiting with peace of mind, their officials may be higher than them, but their status is much worse.
Anyway, they are all waiting, everyone is familiar with each other, and there are not a few people who have fun by themselves.
Seeing that the noon time was about to pass, the guests who came to congratulate were hungry one by one.
"Mrs. Yu, what should I do, there are more and more people, and there is no lunch prepared in the house?" Cai Jin was a little overwhelmed.
"Tell the kitchen, the next noodles, mutton stewed noodles, those who don't eat mutton, take out all the pastries in the house, make everything that can be done, make a buffet, and make up for the guests first." Wen Xiaoyu immediately decided.
"Yes, that's the only way to go." Cai Jin nodded. "Mrs. Rain, did you send someone to ......the Li Mansion?"
"No, Lord Fujun has instructed that no one is allowed to disturb him, and he doesn't want anyone to know about the opening of the coffin and the autopsy in the Li Mansion today." Smell the light rain road.
"Old man understands, what about the person in the east backyard?"
"Nail the gate and keep it closely guarded, and no suspicious person can approach it." Wen Xiaoyu said, Jiao Hong is still at home, but who would have thought that so many people would come today?
Meng Yan called a few acquaintances. Not even a post. Who would have thought that so many people would come, and it is estimated that all the news that they know is coming.
If Jiao Hong is discovered, it will be a lot of fun.
"Yes, to me, I will say that Lao Fan has an infectious disease. Resting is required. That shouldn't be suspected. Cai Jin said.
"Hmm. That's a good excuse. Wen Xiaoyu said, "But don't say it directly, just let people spread it out in private." ”
"Lady Rain is thoughtful." Cai Jin nodded. Wen Xiaoyu is delicate, which he admires.
Parvis.
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends, I'm really sorry, my family went out early in the morning because of some things, but he said to the old man before leaving, he will definitely come back before dark, so, if you have something important to do, you can leave first to do things, if you are willing to stay, the old man will try his best to entertain my family, now the sun has passed noon, the house has prepared some food for you, you can choose freely, this is called a self-contained meal, it was invented by my family!" Cai Jin stood on the steps and said loudly.
"Buffet?"
Tables were laid out, and copper basins were brought up, and although the lid was covered, the fragrance inside had overflowed.
"It's so fragrant, the smell of mutton soup?"
"Well, and bacon......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, please explain how this buffet is eaten." Cai Jin explained as he ordered someone to lift the lid.
"This is interesting, you can choose whatever you like, Yang Gongzi, what do you think?" Sun Lian has been hungry for a long time, and in normal times, he really doesn't look down on this "buffet", but now that he is hungry, these foods that usually don't look very good are much more fragrant than the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
"Interesting, this Master Meng can always come up with some fresh ideas, little uncle, listen to the meaning, you have to do it yourself?" Yang Dan said with a smile.
"Young Master Yang, come on!" Wen Liangdong stood up directly, walked over, and greeted Yang Dan.
"Good!" Yang Dan is now a grass citizen, so naturally he doesn't need to bring any shelves, and he followed Wen Liangdong over.
Sun Lian's face was sneering, this is not his own home, someone is serving him.
"Little uncle, let's go over and get some food for you?"
"No, you know what our family wants to eat, so I'll do it myself." Sun Lian refused.
"Yo, it's very lively here, so many people?"
A young man in a fancy costume walked in from the gate with an old servant with white temples, followed by eight men with tigers and bears, with a restrained look and a good hand at a glance.
"This Wu Banxian'er, why didn't you shout this time?"
What Cai Jin didn't see was that Wu Banxian'er was already kneeling behind the son.
"Emperor, Emperor!"
Whether it is Wen Liangdong, Yang Dan, or Sun Lian, they have all seen the emperor, and they often see them.
Even if you don't know the emperor, the old servant with pale sideburns next to Brother Gongzi, isn't that Wang Zhen, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch?
Such a powerful eunuch may not be known to the common people, but the courtyard is basically the official of the imperial court, and how many of them don't know Wang Zhen?
The person who can make Wang Zhen serve carefully, apart from the emperor, who else can have such great ability?
This shout frightened everyone into shock, and then quickly knelt on the ground.
"Ministers, grass people, etc., long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Get up, get up, I am a private visit to Weifu today, and like you, I am also here to celebrate Meng Aiqing's birthday!" Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said.
The emperor also came to congratulate Meng Yan on his birthday, and he was slightly convinced, what kind of grace does this have, is the rumor true?
Many people felt a "chill" in their hearts, but this is impossible, the emperor has never had a hobby in this area?
If it weren't for that reason, then the meaning of the emperor's coming here today would be worth pondering. (To be continued......)
