Chapter 305: Full Moon Wine
After Cao Ying, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang left the study, they did not go far, but stayed in the corridor outside the study and waited, and after half an hour, they saw Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Yan coming out of the study...... The update is so fast.
"King Jun, this matter has been decided for the time being, I hope you don't miss the appointment!" Ouyang Xiu's expression was a little helpless and tired.
"Ouyang Xianggong rest assured, I will definitely go the day after tomorrow!" I saw that Zhao Yan practiced a salute to Ouyang, but his face was very calm, so that Cao Ying and the others couldn't see anything at all.
"It's so best, the king of the county stays, and the old man will leave!" Ouyang Xiu turned around and left, and didn't let Zhao Yan send him off, but as the master, Zhao Yan still took a few steps to send Ouyang Xiu out of the big 'door', and then turned around and came back.
"How about Husband, has Ouyang Xianggong already agreed to let you go to see Sister Wanling?" As soon as she entered the inner house, Cao Ying immediately asked, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang also stared at Zhao Yan with a worried face.
"Agreed, we have made an appointment just now, and I will go to Ouyang Xianggong's mansion to meet Ouyang Wanling the day after tomorrow." Zhao Yan nodded and said.
"Haha, I just said that this method must be effective, Ouyang Xianggong really took the initiative to ask his husband to pretend to be the person who sent the poems." Cao Ying smiled very proudly when she heard this, being able to deceive a prime minister of the dynasty was also a very accomplished thing for her.
Seeing Cao Ying's smug appearance, Zhao Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Lady, you are wrong, Ouyang Xianggong has already seen through that we are acting just now, but he didn't expose it in front of you, and when you left, he made a mockery of me, but in the end I finally agreed to this matter." β
Hearing that Ouyang Xiu had already seen through her own tricks, Cao Ying couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but she quickly recovered and smiled: "There is really no simple character who can enter the political hall, it seems that in the future, I will play less tricks in front of them, so as not to laugh and be generous!" β
"Regardless of whether Ouyang Xianggong sees through it or not, anyway, he finally agreed, the third brother must also prepare for the next two days, don't let Sister Ouyang see the flaws!" At this time, Princess Bao'an also breathed a sigh of relief. Princess Shoukang also nodded in agreement at this time, this matter started because of her, and it was possible to end it a day earlier, so it would be a day earlier and a day earlier.
But then Zhao Yan was not idle, because tomorrow is the full moon of the 'female' Siyue, and there must be a full moon wine, which Cao Ying had already prepared before and the invitation card went out, but the house still needs some arrangements, such as the venue for the banquet, some preparations in the kitchen, etc., although Zhao Yan does not need to ask in person, but there are some things he also needs to know.
Early the next morning, the entire county palace began to be lively, Lao Fu ran around the courtyard with a few stewards, commanding a group of subordinates to turn around, Cao Ying also sat firmly in the main hall, like a marshal in the army, put down one order after another, Princess Bao'an and Yelusi also came to help, as for Princess Shoukang, although she also wanted to help, but these things were really not what she was good at, and finally had to go with Zhao Yan to accompany Xue Ning's mother and daughter.
However, before Zhao Yan could say a few words to Xue Ning'er, the guests had already arrived, which made him have to run outside the big 'gate' to welcome the guests, of course, the people who could let him personally greet some important guests, such as some relatives in the royal family, as well as some of his usual friends, etc.
Speaking of which, Xue Ning'er is just a concubine of Zhao Yan, and she gave birth to a 'girl', and there are usually few people like Zhao Yan's big '', but Zhao Yan doesn't care about these at all, there is no difference between a wife and a concubine in his heart, and he also prefers a 'girl', plus he couldn't rush back when Siyue was born, so this time the full moon wine is extremely *, as long as it is a relative and friend who can think of it, he has invited it.
In addition, Lao Fu also invited a group of juggling troupes, and the good skills were invited to perform in the house, and almost performed in the open space outside the house, which attracted a lot of people to watch, and the house and outside were very lively.
Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers came, Li Gonglin came, Cao Song and Hu Yanping, and Zhou Tong and Bones also came, in addition to Zhao Zongsheng and other relatives and elders in the royal family, Zhao Yan also welcomed them in very warmly, seeing that the banquet was about to start, and the guests to the banquet were almost all here, but Zhao Yan did not go back to the mansion to sit, but still stood in front of the big 'gate', because he was waiting for someone.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a carriage coming at the end of the street, and then the carriage stopped in front of the house 'door', and then Zhao Yan opened the car 'door' and jumped out of the carriage, which made Zhao Yan also very surprised to take a few steps forward and said: "Big brother, why are you free?" β
"Haha, on the way back, I've been listening to you talking about your own 'daughter', and I, as an uncle, naturally can't help but come!" Zhao Ji said with a big pen.
Zhao Yan was also quite moved when he heard this, Zhao Ji is different from him, since he came back, Zhao Ji has been busy helping Zhao Shu deal with government affairs almost every day, because of the 'chaos' in Liao, so that the Great Song Dynasty is also ready to make a move, so Zhao Ji is also very busy during this time, I heard that even the Shangyuan Festival did not rest, but now he 'time' to take a look at his 'daughter', which shows how much Zhao Ji values the brotherhood between them.
At that moment, Zhao Ji asked people to carry the gift from the car, and Zhao Yan hurriedly welcomed him in, and then arranged to sit down at the main table, which was occupied by Zhao Zongsheng and several other elders, and only Zhao Ji was qualified to sit with them.
Zhao Yan is not the person Zhao Yan has to wait for, but now that the guests are almost there, it is time for the banquet, so Zhao Yan is not good to wait any longer, and he hurriedly asked people to have a banquet at the moment, and he himself sat down to drink a few glasses with Zhao Yan and others, but his eyes still looked at the 'door' from time to time.
As the banquet began, the entire county king's mansion was even more crowded, and the guests attending the banquet were either talking or playing with wine, and some people turned their heads to watch the jugglers invited to the banquet, and applauded loudly from time to time. But at this moment, I suddenly heard a sharp voice shouting from outside the 'door' of the temple: "The holy decree has arrived!" β
With this shout, I saw the great eunuch Huang Wude take the lead in entering the main hall, followed by two little eunuchs and a few guards, when he saw Zhao Yan, he first 'revealed' a smile, and then shouted loudly: "The king of Guangyang County receives the order!" β
"The retainers take the order!" Zhao Yan was also very surprised, although he also sent an invitation to Zhao Shu, but it was only a matter of etiquette and 'sex', and he didn't expect Zhao Shu to come at all, unless Cao Ying, the princess of the county, gave birth to a son, it was possible to let Zhao Shu come, after all, Zhao Shu was too busy to come, and his health was not good, but now Zhao Shu actually sent Huang Wude to deliver the holy decree, which is also very unexpected.
"I am very relieved to hear that the third son Yan is happy to have a 'daughter', and I am very relieved to ......"
Zhao Yan's biggest headache is to listen to the holy decree, his classical Chinese is not good, he usually reads books with 'Meng', and now listening to the holy decree read by Huang Wude is like listening to the book of heaven, and there is a feeling of English listening in later generations. Thanks to the fact that he has traveled for a long time, he usually comes into contact with a lot of written terms intentionally or unintentionally, and anyway, in the end, there is no sentence that I almost understand.
Most of the front of the entire holy decree is some nonsense, which is nothing more than boasting about how young and promising Zhao Yan is, how beautiful and lovely the 'daughter' she gave birth to, and how happy Zhao Shu is, these alone account for more than ninety percent of the space, and finally the focus of the holy decree is mentioned, that is, to crown Zhao Yan's newly born 'daughter' Zhao Siyue as the lord of Xianning.
Originally, according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, the 'daughter' of the county king should be named the county lord, but now Zhao Yan's 'daughter' has been crowned as the county lord all of a sudden, although after Zhao Yan becomes the prince in the future, Xiao Siyue must also be the county lord, but now this kind of early sealing is an attitude of Zhao Shu, which is enough to show that Zhao Shu values Zhao Yan, which also makes the guests present also look at Zhao Yan with a strange gaze, especially Zhao Yan, the quasi-prince, is also present, I don't know if their brothers will have a mustard because of this?
However, Zhao Yan leaned into Zhao Yan's ear at this time and whispered: "Third brother, you have made great contributions in Liao State, but because of the true matter of 'female', my father can't reward you clearly, so I have no choice but to send this reward to Xiao Siyue's body." β
Zhao Yan also guessed something at this time, and said with a smile: "Daddy is really stingy, although the title of the county lord is good, but in my opinion, it is better to reward some treasures in the palace, and give my 'daughter' as a dowry in the future." β
"You still lack a dowry? Your soap workshop alone made a lot of money last year, and you are the richest among our brothers, and if I am short of money in the future, I will have to find you to eat big! Zhao Ji couldn't help but laugh and joke when he heard Zhao Yan's words.
The other guests were very surprised to see that the two Zhao Yan brothers were still talking and laughing, which made them all very surprised, it is said that Zhao Yan's current favored Cheng dΓΉ is enough to threaten Zhao Yan's status, but looking at Zhao Yan's appearance, it seems that he is not above at all, which makes everyone puzzled. It's a pity that they don't know what the two brothers Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan have experienced in Liao, Zhao Yan can risk his life to stay, but leave the opportunity to escape to Zhao Ji, plus Zhao Ji is a person who values feelings, where can this kind of brotherhood be shaken by a mere title.
At this time, Huang Wude finally finished reading the stinky and long holy decree, and then stepped forward and smiled at Zhao Yan: "The old slave congratulates the prince on winning the county lord, and he must also ask for a cup of wine to drink!" β
"Haha, Lao Huang, you are too polite, please sit down quickly, this king will personally toast you later!" Zhao Yan was also very enthusiastic, but he didn't dare to let Huang Wude sit with others, but arranged a separate table for them, this is because the status of eunuchs in the early Northern Song Dynasty was very low, even if it was a big eunuch like Huang Wude, he couldn't stand up in front of others, let alone eat at the same table with others, and behind Huang Wude, Zhao Yan finally saw the person he had been waiting for. pββ83422+dsuaahhh+25921594ββ>
