Chapter 577: Rites
The staggered selection of the wine has passed three rounds, and under the catalysis of Longquan jade brewing, the joyful atmosphere has risen to the top.
With Qiu Long on his side, Wang Yanshao drank a lot of wine, and although the strength of the wine in front of him was high, he was still able to stay sober.
Qiu Long's drinking appearance was not bold at all, and he drank it one by one, which was in stark contrast to the others at the same table, especially Xie Chengfei, who was dry bowl by bowl, and his momentum was more than one layer worse.
Wang Yan observed carefully, although Qiu Long did not look bold when drinking, but the wine he drank was no less than that of those present.
Qiu Long is also a good winemaker!
Just as he was happy, there was a sudden sound outside, and soon a majestic shout attracted everyone's attention.
"Courtesy! The general of the auxiliary country salutes! ”
Wang Yan, who was chatting with Qiu Long, frowned slightly, and wondered in his heart, General Fuguo, Dugu Huang, why did he give himself a gift?
"Boy, what are you stunned about, the ceremony has arrived at the door, and you still don't go out to receive the gift?"
"Uncle Qiu, the kid is not familiar with the general of the auxiliary country, why did he give me a gift?"
"If you're not familiar, you can't give gifts?" Qiu Long stroked his beard and smiled.
"The kid thinks there's a conspiracy in there." Wang Yan said bluntly. "This gift, hot hands."
"So do you take it or not?" Qiu Long asked with a smile.
"Pick it up! Since it is a congratulatory gift, how can you not accept it, and the face of the general of the auxiliary country still needs to be taken into account. Wang Yan stood up with a smile, with a proud face, Aji put down the wine jar and followed Wang Yan forward.
"Hahahaha! Attaboy. Qiu Long smiled and took a big sip of wine.
Wang Yan came to the door, and he didn't know any of the people who gave the gifts, not even the familiar faces.
A middle-aged man dressed in dark green satin, who was obviously different from everyone else, greeted him, bowed respectfully to Wang Yan, and said loudly.
"In the general general's mansion under the auxiliary state, Sun Tian, on the order of the head of the family, came to congratulate the general on marrying a beautiful woman, the head of the family wanted to come in person, but there were many things, and he couldn't get out, so he had to let the old slave do it for him, and I hope the general will not blame." Steward Sun said, holding up the gift box in his hand.
Wang Yan took the gift box, glanced at it, picked up the post on it, and handed the gift box to Aji, who was guarding aside.
"It's too late for Yan to be grateful, how can he blame." Wang Yan said, giving Aji a look.
Ajiden realized when he realized, and he quickly walked out with two large jars of wine, came to Sun Tian with a sneer, and handed over the jar of wine.
"On the day of the big day, I should have invited Steward Sun to come into the house to have a drink, but there is really no place to stay in the house, and I hope that Steward Sun will understand, these two jars of wine are called Longquan Liquid, which is the best wine in Xinzhou, and I also asked Steward Sun to bring it back to the general to taste."
Steward Sun took the wine jar in Aji's hand with a smile, saluted Wang Yan, and was thoughtful in his manners, unable to find flaws, and not talking nonsense, so he took people away.
"Young master, it's a pair of jade pots, and the jade color is good."
"Put it away and go inside."
Duguhuang gifts, on the bright side, are gifts, pondering, is burying the seeds of suspicion, as for whether it can be effective, how much effect it has, it doesn't matter.
If you don't accept it, you will be honest, it is not appropriate, you will accept it, you may not care about the invincible of the ten directions, but if Princess Ruoxi will be the same as the invincible of the ten directions, it is unknown, and this trick is more vicious than this.
If Princess Ruoxi really had some suspicion of Wang Yan because of this small gift, Wang Yan felt that there was no need to help her.
There are ten invincible parties, and there is no need to worry about the safety of their families in the city of Guowuyuan.
Things are most afraid of thinking about complications, Wang Yan is just a person who likes to think too much, he has imagined countless possibilities in his head, but his face does not show anything wrong at all.
As soon as I entered the front yard, I was about to use the wine to urge the atmosphere, but before I took the wine bowl, I heard another shout behind me!
"Courtesy! Wei Guogong salute arrived! ”
Wei Guogong? Cao Xiude! The brows that had just been stretched furrowed furrowed again, and while recalling the reminder of the invincible of the ten directions, the voice and smile of a beautiful woman also appeared in his mind.
"Official, there are a few people in the capital who have to be guarded against, the first is Cao Xiude, the Duke of Wei, don't look at him as an idle grandfather on the surface, but in private he is actually an ambitious person, and this person has a beast heart and hides a knife in his face.." Wang Yan's puzzled expression became a little embarrassed as the fragrant fragments drifted through his mind.
Wang Yan's understanding of Cao Xiude is mostly from hearsay, he has an excellent reputation among the people, but in the noble circle, his reputation is not so good, and Shifang Invincible has mentioned him to himself alone, only saying that he is not as simple as it seems.
Ling'er is the one who talks to herself the most and deepest, although Ling'er is a person from the black fox, Wang Yan believes that what she said is true, and she will definitely not harm herself.
If Duguhuang's gift is a conspiracy, then Wei Guogong's ceremony is a little embarrassing, he has no position, wandering between Duguhuang and Princess Ruoxi, because of his excellent reputation, both sides are unwilling to fight with him, which can be regarded as a source of left and right.
Is it a conspiracy for such a person to give himself a gift? Is it a gesture of goodwill? Or is there something else in mind? According to what Ling'er said, Cao Xiude never did anything that was not famous, and his intuition told Wang Yan that this gift had deep meaning.
Even if it was a conspiracy, it was a conspiracy under the banner of blessings, Wang Yan calmed down and walked back to the door again.
When the leader saw Wang Yan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted Wang Yan respectfully.
"The old slave Cao Fu is the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion, and he came to congratulate the general on the order of the master of the family! The head of the family occasionally contracted a small illness the day before yesterday and could not come in person, deeply regretted, and specially instructed the old slave to explain the reason to the general, hoping that the general would not blame. Cao Fu, who had gray temples, said with a sincere face, and after speaking, he greeted the people behind him. Bring the gift up! ”
Four strong men, carrying two large boxes to the door.
Wang Yan took the post, opened it and took a closer look, in addition to the words of blessing, the contents of the box were also mentioned in the post.
Wang Yan walked to the box and opened it to see that it contained a lot of things, all of which were materials, and the post said that it was for Wang Yan's unborn child.
In terms of value, it is not as good as a pair of jade pots sent by Duguhuang, but these gifts are obviously more heartfelt, if it weren't for the dirty things that Cao Xiude did from Ling'er, just based on the words of the invincible of the ten directions, Wang Yan might re-examine this Cao Xiude.
"Wei Guogong's heart, Yan has received it, I thank Wei Guogong here, and ask Steward Cao to convey it on my behalf."
"The old slave must convey it." Cao Fu said with a smile.
Aji had already carried two jars of wine down the steps, and handed the wine to Cao Fu with a sincere and solemn expression, looking at each other, both of them were infected by each other's smiles, revealing even more overflowing smiles.
Looking at the affectionate relationship between the two, Wang Yan sneered in his heart, and rushed to Cao Fu for this effort, he was by no means an ordinary person.
After sending Cao Fu away, the two entered the courtyard again, and before they could completely cross the door of the front yard, they heard a scream from behind.
"Etiquette! The queen said! Wang County man quickly came out to receive the gift! ”
