Chapter 202: Face and Fortune
"Haha, Brother Qiu can come to make the humble house shine!"
"Brother Jia is polite, it should be my honor for you to send an invitation!"
At the door of the new house, Jia Cong and Qiu Liang greeted him warmly, grabbed this guy's arm and pulled it into the yard, laughing so happily.
As for the prince of Chu next to him, he couldn't be more familiar, there was no need to be too polite, and he had his own chain two and Jia Rong to come forward to receive him.
"Every time I see Brother Jia, you give me a stronger feeling!"
Qiu Liang 'couldn't help himself', and was almost pulled by Jia Cong to sit in the chief, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said helplessly: "I'm afraid I can't even go for a few rounds!" ”
In my heart, I couldn't help but smash my tongue secretly.
Jia Cong's height is only less than three inches shorter than him, and his strength is surprisingly great, I am afraid that he is not a thousand catties, and he doesn't know whether he was born or exercised.
"Haha, I'm young, so naturally I have to make progress, otherwise wouldn't it be even stranger to waste my time?"
Jia Cong was also not polite, and laughed confidently: "I won't introduce much to the prince of Chu, I think the two of them must have greeted each other when they were at the door, this is my Uncle Lin!" ”
The prince of Chu and Qiu Liang hurriedly got up to salute, this is due respect for their friends and elders, and they also know Lin Ruhai's identity.
Lin Ruhai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave up his hand and said politely.
The three of them all sighed with some emotion in their hearts, Jia Cong, this kid still has such a face, and it will definitely not be bad in the future.
Although it is only three people, it can be placed anywhere is a VIP who must be grandly received.
Jia Cong pointed to the two tables where the younger brother and Mr. Ethnology were, and said with a smile: "These are all classmates who have a good relationship with me, and Mr. Ethnology!" ”
By Xue Pan's side, he unexpectedly saw the handsome Liu Xianglian, nodded slightly and didn't introduce it specifically, saving him embarrassment.
Looking at the young men and half-grown sons who brushed and saluted, whether they were familiar or not, the prince of Chu and Qiu Liang nodded with a smile on their faces.
These guys are Jia Cong's henchmen, and they are not nerds who read dead books when they look at their posture, and they may have amazing performances in the future, and giving a smiling face is considered a good fate.
At the last table, the elders of the Jia family, the prince of Chu and Qiu Liang stood up again to salute, and the number of etiquette they should have was the same.
If you want to say surprise, the old man of the generation is even more serious!
They never expected that Jia Cong, a concubine of the general's mansion, would have such a big face, and it was not easy to invite Lin Ruhai.
I don't want to even the children of top clans such as the prince of Chu Wang, as well as the best of the noble children like Qiu Liang.
In this lineup, when the Rongguo Mansion held a banquet, except for the old relatives who must have come to appreciate their faces, the identities of the rest of the guests were very inferior.
At this moment, the old man of the generation of generations warmly returned the salute, and at the same time paid a lot more attention to Jia Cong, a boy who had just left the house and established a household.
After the introduction of each other, Jia Cong didn't say anything more, and directly got up to serve the wine and said a few kind words, and then took a glass of wine to announce the start of the banquet.
Suddenly, the wine and food in the front yard of the entire main hall were fragrant, and laughter and laughter were endless.
The front yard is lively, and the backyard is no worse.
Originally, Wang Xifeng, who was invited to be in charge of the reception, only thought that the female guests who came were all acquaintances, such as the Sanchun sisters, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, etc., who were too familiar and didn't need to be too formal.
At first, it was indeed as she guessed, and the people who came were acquaintances who often met on weekdays.
While Wang Xifeng was familiar with the hospitality, he inevitably felt a little disdain in his heart, feeling that Jia Cong's kid was too fussful, and that was all he could do.
If Jia Cong only has such connections, there is no hope for a future at all.
She even thinks that her husband Lian Er attaches too much importance to Jia Cong's cousin, so isn't she revealing her bottom now?
When he was busy entertaining familiar female guests, in front of Qin Keqing, who had a very close relationship, he couldn't help but say a few words.
Qin Keqing smiled silently, with Uncle Cong's ability, it is impossible not to have any powerful friends.
There is a good saying: people are divided by groups, and things are gathered by like!
As a result, when Lin Daiyu came over, her father Lin Ruhai also came.
At this moment, Wang Xifeng was a little stunned, and when she took Lin Daiyu to the flower hall in the backyard in person, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why did my uncle come suddenly, didn't he send my sister over?" ”
Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and chuckled, shook her head and said, "Father specially asked for leave to come to eat and drink, and he values Cousin Cong very much!" ”
Wang Xifeng was suspicious, but he also put away his previous disdain.
Lin Ruhai is definitely a guest of honor, that is, the old lady has a banquet, and Lin Ruhai is qualified to sit in the forefront.
At least in terms of influence and energy in the officialdom, Chain Er can't be compared at all, Wang Xifeng still knows this.
In this environment where the civil power is rising rapidly, even her proud second uncle Wang Ziteng does not dare to easily offend a civil official boss like Lin Ruhai.
Wang Xifeng is a standard powerful animal, and he has a lot of respect for a strong person like Lin Ruhai, and even Lin Daiyu has benefited.
Jia Cong, this kid, doesn't know what kind of shit luck he has taken, but he has been so valued by Lin Ruhai, and he specially asked for leave to congratulate him when he set up a banquet?
You must know that the old lady in the house has always tried her best to win over Lin Ruhai, and even had the idea of 'wood and stone front alliance', but Lin Ruhai's reaction has always been quite flat.
For the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu, he didn't mean to look down on him at all, and he was depressed enough to choke the old lady, but he had a completely different attitude towards Jia Cong.
With the arrival of this person alone, this banquet is not a failure!
She thought that the female guests in the backyard had arrived, but who expected the situation after that was completely unexpected by her.
The banquet of the female guests in the backyard has been prepared, just waiting to start, who knew that at this time, a maid hurriedly came to report: The princess of the king of Chu is here!
Captain Qiu's wife is here!
Bang......
She only felt that her mind was blank, and the female guests around her, such as Sanchun, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, all showed surprised and incredible looks.
"What are you still doing, let's go and greet it together!"
Although Qin Keqing was also surprised, he was not shocked yet, and immediately reacted and pushed Wang Xifeng, and said with a smile: "What are you boasting about seeing a big scene, there is no uneven banquet for you!" ”
Regardless of the embarrassment in their hearts, Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing came to the gate of the backyard together and received the princess of the king of Chu and Mrs. Qiu, who came together.
The princess of the king of Chu will not talk about it, but Mrs. Qiu Wang Xifeng has also heard of it, mainly because of her husband Qiu Liang, who is the best among the sons of the nobles in the capital, and his reputation is even stronger than that of Chain Er.
Don't look at Qiu Liang at this time is only a dragon forbidden lieutenant of the fifth grade, but it is relatively easy for a military general to be promoted, her uncle Wang Ziteng is the best example, joining the Beijing camp is a small school, and it only took ten years to become the envoy of the Beijing camp.
This is still the premise that her uncle did not get the credit, Qiu Liang's background and connections are not bad at all, and he is still an important contributor to solving the big case of shooting flowers, and the promotion speed in Beijing will definitely not be slow.
Maybe the next time we meet, Mrs. Qiu's destiny grade will be higher than hers!
Fortunately, there was also Qin Keqing, the county lord recognized by the clan, who was on the side, and made the princess of the king of Chu and Mrs. Qiu like a spring breeze, and they were very surprised.
After greeting each other, knowing Qin Keqing's identity, the two distinguished female guests sighed that 'it is better to be famous than to meet'.
This newly promoted 'Yong'an' county lord is really good at dealing with people!
As for Wang Xifeng, he is also a powerful character who is accustomed to communicating, not to mention the relationship in three or two sentences, but also to amuse the princess of Chu Wang and Mrs. Qiu to cover their mouths.
After seeing Sanchun, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, as well as Li Kun, they sighed at the high color of these women while saluting.
Even compared to the ladies of the clan, as well as the famous noble young grandmothers in the capital, they are not far behind, or even better.
Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing are already married, not to mention, Sanchun, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are all more beautiful than flowers.
After a short period of contact and exchange, the talents and demeanor of the girls also surprised the princess of the king of Chu and Mrs. Qiu, and they were all rare good girls.
Especially the knowledge of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai made the two female guests feel ashamed, and the Sanchun sisters also have their own characteristics.
I just don't know, so many good girls with extremely high colors and shining demeanor, why have I never seen or heard of them in the social circle of the noble lady in the capital before?
Originally, they came to be guests this time, just according to their respective husbands' wishes, and gave Jia Cong, a somewhat magical guy, a long face.
I don't want to, I saw so many beautiful girls with their own merits, and they got close when they talked, and it didn't take long for them to be almost like their best friends.
At this time, whether it was to give face to the owner Jia Cong, or to really think that these girls were good, whether it was the princess of the King of Chu or Mrs. Qiu, they all invited the Sanchun sisters, as well as Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, including Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, to participate in the flower viewing party they held.
As for Li Kun, she only has envy, and her widowhood is really at a loss.
The Sanchun sisters were still a little hesitant, Wang Xifeng accepted the invitation for them, as for Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, they both nodded and agreed, and the guests and hosts were happy for a while.
If you want to say that the happiest person is Xue Baochai, who originally wanted to give Jia Cong face, who knew that he would be able to meet the princess of the King of Chu and Mrs. Qiu, who was also from a noble family, and could also get an invitation to the flower viewing party.
This is a great opportunity for the aristocratic lady to expand her network, get acquainted with handkerchiefs, and most importantly, show her face in the circle, which is almost like good luck from heaven.
At this moment, my heart was full of gratitude to Jia Cong.
In fact, the Sanchun sisters also have the same thoughts, especially when Yingchun and Tanchun are older, they need to show their faces at the aristocratic ladies' parties so much, and give the wives and ladies a chance to see each other.
Before, the old lady and the second wife had been detaining them in the house, and the eldest lady didn't know a few ladies, so she couldn't find a place to go if she wanted to take them out......
