After the banquet is dispersed. Second Master Ling returned to the County King's Mansion. When he got home, Li asked someone to bring him a bowl of sobering soup, and he drank it, washed up again, and fell asleep. When I got up, the smell of alcohol on my body was gone. So he went to King Lingjun's study to see King Lingjun.

He thought all the way about what he should say to his eldest brother. He definitely couldn't tell his eldest brother that he was drinking with King An today. Second Master Ling still clearly remembered that when the three of them were all by the side of the old county king in the army. Once, the old county king said to them, "The descendants of the Ling family can only support the heir chosen by the emperor, and cannot participate in the royal battle for the throne." If there is anyone who does not obey, he can be expelled from the Ling family. lest the lives of all the people be endangered. ”

But now that he has been targeted by King An, what can he do? Does he want to tell the truth to the eldest brother and let the eldest brother help him come up with ideas? No, he can't say it, and if he wants to say it, the eldest brother may not let him stay in the capital. He must not say that he has seen King An, and he has been drinking with King An. He couldn't bear to give up the position of Tobe Squire. After hesitating, he said to King Ling Jun: "Big brother, I heard a news today, but I don't know if it's true, I heard that the father of Lord Liu, the head of the household department, is about to die, and the imperial doctor said that it is just a matter of the past few days." If this is the case, then Lord Liu will inevitably have to worry about it, and then this position will be vacant. Big brother, look, let's wait two more days to see. I think the household department is better than the industrial department, what do you say, big brother?"

King Ling Jun looked at this younger brother. At that time, he knew that this second brother was drinking with Wei Chongping today. They turned out to be friends, and friends drank together for nothing. The problem is that this friend of the second brother is not an ordinary person, he is the uncle of the eldest son of the emperor. The second brother just drank with others today, and there was another good news, and it was not news that ordinary people could hear. Not only is there good news, but there seems to be a better way. It's just that this better way is for Wei Chongping to find his eldest brother Huaininghou, or to use the current emperor's eldest son, King An. But it doesn't matter which one it is. They are all the eldest sons of the emperor. Wei Chongping is also paving the way for his nephew.

He stared at Ling Yuanhui and asked calmly: "Second brother, I still remember when my father was at the border gate before his death, one day his old man specially called the three of us brothers together, and then said a paragraph to us, and asked us to take these words as a motto, do you remember what they were?"

Ling Yuanhui returned to his cool side in front of his eldest brother: "Big brother, I remember, my father said that our Ling family should never participate in the battle for storage positions. You can rest assured. I know your brother. ”

King Ling Jun said, "It's good if you remember." We are not alone, we have wives and sons, mothers and many other people, we are not running for ourselves. We have to think about us and our families at all times. I don't care where you got your way. You must not forget your father's entrustment. ””

Second Master Ling nodded again and again: "Big brother, I remember." You can rest assured. ”

King Ling Jun instructed him a few more words, asking him not to get too close to Wei Chongping and others. Second Master Ling nodded his head one by one. King Ling Jun sent Ling Yuanhui away, looking at his back as he gradually moved away, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

A few days later, Ling Erye's tenure came down, and he was a servant of the household department, and he was the fourth product.

The happiest are none other than the Lee family and the old lady. Since the Li family married Ling Erye, the husband and wife have been together for less than two years, and now that the eldest son A Yu is sixteen years old, Ling Erye can be regarded as stable, how can Li be unhappy. And for the old lady, Second Master Ling is her favorite and most missed son. For so many years, this son is no longer around, and now the second son can finally settle down in Beijing. So the old lady said to the king of the county: "Give your second brother a banquet to celebrate, and let him recognize these officials in the capital." ”

The old mother spoke, and the prince and his wife naturally nodded in agreement. So the house began to prepare. Because Linlang was pregnant, the matter of holding the banquet fell on Ah Ning and Li. On this day, after a few days of preparation, the county palace held a sprinkle banquet to celebrate Second Master Ling's stay in Beijing and promotion.

This is the first time that the county king's mansion has held a banquet since the county king's father and son returned to Beijing, except for the time when the county king got married. All the officials in the capital who can get it come to the county king's mansion to congratulate, and those who can't reach the county king's mansion also entrust someone to be a middleman or something, just to be able to get in touch with the county king's mansion. Therefore, in front of the palace of the county on this day, there is a congratulatory guest door, which is very lively. Ling Bo took a few capable family members to personally arrange carriages and horses at the door to clear the road, for fear of abrupt guests.

In the house, Li and Ah Ning entertained guests. Of course, although the princess of the county is pregnant, it is still possible to receive valuable guests. Even Ah Ke and Ah Zhu are receiving the girls who are menstruating. In ancient times, banquets were not only important occasions for dignitaries to socialize. It is also an important occasion for parents to look at their children, so there will be no shortage of unmarried girls and teenagers.

As the in-law of the county king's mansion, Yaru also followed her parents, brother and sister-in-law to congratulate her today. Because Yayi is going to get married in June, she no longer attends the banquet. Yaru and Ah Ning said hello, and seeing that Ah Ning was busy, they went to meet the old lady and the princess first. Of course, the old lady smiled detachedly at Yaru as always, neither cold nor enthusiastic, and Yaru didn't care. followed his mother and sister-in-law to meet the princess of the county. The princess of the county likes this little girl very much. She asked Camellia, the personal girl next to her, to take her to Ah Zhu and Ah Ke to play. He talked to Mrs. Wang, Xiao Sun, and several other female guests with more status.

Ah Zhu and Ah Ke are very lively here, Luo Yuhong, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, Cui Ying, the daughter of the Ministry of Works, and Li Juan, the cousin of Ah Zhu, are all here. Ah Jing and Ah Qin are already talking about other people, so today the two little girls did not follow their mothers, but were detained at home to embroider dowries.

Li Juan was the first to greet him: "Miss Guan, you are here, the newly sealed county lord of Anping didn't trouble you again, right?"

Yaru smiled sincerely at Li Juan: "No, Miss Xie Li cares." ”

Cui Ying is a steady girl, she likes Yaru's humble and non-arrogant temperament very much, she looked at Yaru with concern: "Sister Ru, after I went back, I also asked people to inquire about the follow-up of this matter, but later I heard that Miss Yan was named the lord of Anping." I'm really worried about you, this Miss Yan has been named the county lord, will she trouble you even more in the future. ”

Miss Luo also smiled and said, "Yes, I'm the same as Sister Cui, are you okay for a while?"

Yaru actually didn't want to talk about it, she couldn't tell everyone bluntly that Ling Yuanhang had already refused to marry in the palace for her sake. The reason why Yan Yuehua was named the county lord at this time was the emperor's compensation to Concubine Wu. But Yaru can't say these facts, after all, it is a very humiliating thing to be rejected in the Golden Palace, although Miss Yan is already embarrassed by being slapped by herself. Besides, it is not a good thing to talk about royal affairs in front of so many official ladies. But seeing that everyone is really worried about her, I sincerely thank everyone. Then thought about getting around the topic. So she began to appreciate the makeup of the sisters, and took the opportunity to turn the topic to the topic that the ladies were most passionate about. In fact, she was also thinking in her heart, what will this Anping County Lord do next?
