Gu Qingyan went to the Ye family first, and the Ye family held a banquet this evening, and first entertained a wave of guests from the capital and the people of the Lin family.

Li Linyu, Fu Changsheng, and Jiang Rong are all among today's banquets.

"Master, it's all in there."

Seeing Gu Qingyan and Beiming coming, Dongsheng appeared to make a report.

Now that the banquet is coming to an end, many people at the main gate came out with laughter and drunkenness, and Ye Jinliang and the juniors in the family saw off the guests outside the door.

Gu Qingyan secretly observed for a while not far from Ye Mansion, looking at the red color of the lights at the door and the smile on Ye Jinliang's face when he saw off the guests, Gu Qingyan sneered.

Jumping forward, in the night, the capable figure fell on the roof of the main house in the front yard of the Ye Mansion.

Beiming nodded towards Dongsheng, and then jumped forward, finding a place on the east side to hide his figure.

Not long after, in Gu Qingyan's sight, her ghost guard appeared in the four corners of the east, west, north and south, and these people almost surrounded the front yard of the people with a posture of encircling and suppressing the Ye Mansion.

Gu Qingyan looked down, the ground in the courtyard was covered with a criss-cross red carpet, and red lanterns with the word Xi were hung under the eaves, and the red silk was decorated over the entire courtyard.

The round tables in the courtyard have not been completely removed, and the people come and go to clean up the leftovers on the table, and they are busy.

The excitement in the main hall has not yet dissipated, Gu Qingyan uncovered the roof tiles, and looked inside, there were about three tables inside.

At a large main table, Yong'an Hou sat in the position of the owner, on the left was his future father-in-law, and on the right was Jiang Rong, the highest-ranking official in this group of people.

These people are together, in addition to playing officialdom, nothing more than talking about the sophistication of those people in the officialdom, Gu Qingyan glanced at Fu Changsheng, and his eyes fell on the maid behind him who was ready to pour wine at all times.

The maid went to pour Fu Changsheng wine, and Yong'an Hou's eyes looked here for a while, with a hint of intriguing smile.

Fu Changsheng went to get the wine glass, pretending to unconsciously touch the maid's white and tender fingers, and then comprehended.

The corners of Gu Qing's cigarette hooked, and the beauty plan was really popular everywhere.

Compared to Fu Changsheng, who had already been arranged, Jiang Rong sat there like an old statue, Gu Qingyan suddenly remembered what Dong Yi had muttered before.

"This Lord Jiang almost wrote loyalty on his face."

Whoever comes to toast will look like they can drink and don't talk about other officialdom. From time to time, he sent people to the area of Yong'an Hou and General Lin, as if to say, "The master is there, and you should pay homage to that."

But it's really just a matter of human affection.

Gu Qingyan looked around at the main table, and then looked at the tables on the left and right sides, one table was a female dependent, the other table was a junior, the people of the Lin family and the Ye family were mixed together, and it was quite harmonious.

It seems that the two families are still satisfied with this marriage.

It's just that unlike the fun and happiness in the juniors, there is always a kind of hidden sadness at the table of the female dependents.

This kind of sadness mostly comes from Mrs. Lin, and the slightly furrowed brows and thoughtful eyes have already made people ignore the ceremonial smile on her face.

With a soft sigh, Mrs. Yong'an Hou stepped forward to comfort her: "We will definitely love Mu'er as our daughter, don't worry." ”

She herself was a woman with daughters, and she knew the grief of her mother's marriage.

Gu Qingyan shook her head, in her opinion, Mrs. Lin's grief for her daughter was not all because she was worried that no one would take care of Lin Mu, but also because she was afraid that only the person concerned could know.

Turning her head to look back at the main table, Gu Qingyan looked at Jiang Rong and Fu Changsheng again, Li Linyu never appeared in her sight, she gestured to Beiming not far away.

Beiming received Gu Qingyan's signal and understood what she was going to do.

Not long after, Beiming, who was originally hidden on the east side of Gu Qingyan, signaled to Gu Qingyan in the southeast direction, Gu Qingyan looked in the direction and saw Ye Jinliang and Li Linyu standing together at some point, what the two were talking in the corner, from Gu Qingyan's point of view, they couldn't see the expressions of the two.

Seeing the two talking to each other for a while, Ye Jinliang withdrew, hugged his fist to Li Linyu, and then returned to the banquet in the main hall with Li Linyu.

Ye Jinliang returned to his father's side, Li Linyu sat down on the side, Jiang Rong and Fu Changsheng's seats did not move, but there were several people between the three of them.

Gu Qingyan looked directly in front of him, it was Dong Yi, and then raised his hand, clenched his fist and signaled the position of the three people.

Dong Yi received the order, his eyes could directly see Ye Jinliang's movements at this moment, he was taking the wine jug from the maid's hand and pouring himself the first glass of wine.

Then the maids began to prepare to pour wine for the lords.

At this moment, the lights in the hall went out together, and then there were exclamations from several maids, whose hands were unstable, some wine jugs fell directly, and some wine spilled on the table.

Everyone in the room was instantly alert, and they all looked out of the door, but none of them noticed that at the same time as these two things happened, a figure hung upside down in the window behind them, and something was mixed into the wine jar placed on the side of the round table.

The people hurried over and put the lights back on.

General Lin's eagle eyes swept around the room, except for the glass slag of the wine jug and the wet tablecloth, there was nothing unusual.

"What's going on?" Yong'an Hou asked the next person.

"Let the lords of Hou Ye be frightened, the wind has been strong at night these days, and the windproof umbrella has not been propped up yet..."The next person explained again and again.

These days, it was windy in the morning and evening, and they were about to put up a windproof umbrella, but a gust of wind suddenly came, causing a panic.

Dong Yi happened to take advantage of this wind, a flying needle pierced the candle flame, and hit the wrists of several maids with a small grass ball, making them spill wine.

Gu Qingyan turned around and came back, nodding towards Dong, this guy is always so accurate in time.

"Alright, you guys, pour the bar again."

There was a happy event at home, and Yong'an Hou was also extra tolerant, so he asked the maid to take the wine from the wine jar again and poured it for Li Linyu, Fu Changsheng and Jiang Rong.

Ye Jinliang raised his glass to toast, and after three glasses, it was lively again.

These people didn't leave one after another until the moontop was in the treetops, Li Linyu left first, Dongsheng and Dongshi continued to follow, Fu Changsheng went with several local officials, looking like that, there was the next one, Dongyi followed.

In the end, Jiang Rong was left, saying that he had something to say to Yong'an Hou and General Lin, and the three of them went to the study.

Beiming Gu Qingyan and the rest of Dong Yun bumped heads.

"After a while, people are gone, you go around the house and see what tomorrow's recipe is?"

Gu Qingyan instructed Dong Yundao.

"Yes."

"Beiming, you follow Jiang Rong and them and see what they have to say."

"Yes."

Gu Qingyan planned to follow Mrs. Lin to the courtyard where they lived: "I'll come back to you after investigating." ”

After speaking, the three of them left separately, and none of the guards arranged by General Lin and Yong'an Hou found out.

In the study, the three of them looked at each other, and no one started to say a word, and in the end, Yong'an Hou took the initiative to speak.

"It is said that Emperor Qinrui has arrived in the city and has been arranged by the prince to live in another courtyard."

They were originally going to go to ask for peace today, who would have thought that before anyone went out, King Yu's will would arrive, saying that Emperor Qinrui was tired of traveling and should not be disturbed.

"Master Hou, do you know why the monarch made this decision?"

Jiang Rong asked, as far as he knew, the decision to let Emperor Qinrui and King Yu testify about the marriage together was still a recent will of the king.

Yong'an Hou shook his head, but instantly remembered something, and said: "Years ago, King Yu took Xiao'er to the Taohuajian Stone Gate Trial. ”

Jiang Rong's eyes narrowed, then he looked at General Lin and said, "General Lin has been stationed outside all the year round, I don't know how much I know about these things?" ”

Jiang Rong and Yong'an Hou's conversation did not avoid General Lin but pulled him in, and the two of them had always considered it.

But General Lin is a military general after all, and he always turns a blind eye to power schemes, and now that the two families are about to become in-laws, they should always show an attitude.

General Lin knew that there was such a stubble, cleared his throat and said: "This Qinrui Emperor Ji is the one who has been restored on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has not shown up since then, and now you and I are married, and it happens to be in the territory of King Yu's fief, it is also a good time for Emperor Ji to show up, so be so." ”

This was his guess, and one he felt was more neutral.

Jiang Rong didn't say anything when he saw General Lin say this, just gave Yong'an Hou a look, and the two turned to say something else.

There is no rush to win over, not to mention that they are still under people's noses now, and they don't dare to do anything excessive.

Closed the door, since everyone is very clear about who they are, naturally there are not so many twists and turns, Jiang Rong has lived in the capital for a long time, and the situation in the capital is much more than that of Yong'an Hou.

So most of the time, it was Yong'an Hou who asked how Duzhong was, and Jiang Rong told him about the situation.

"Before King Jin left, he promoted several adults in the court, and now they are going up one by one, whether it is their reputation or power."

Jiang Rong said.

"Do you think there's something wrong?"

Yong'an Hou asked.

Jiang Rong shook his head, he couldn't say anything specific and wrong, there have been a lot of personnel changes in the DPRK and China over the years, and sometimes it is normal to change a group of officials below silently.

At that time, the impact on them was not very great, at least the people who moved were people from other places, and everyone who should be there was there.

But since Yuan Zhao died unexpectedly a few years ago, Duzhong's movements have become bigger and bigger, and they have to be vigilant.

Fortunately, King Yijun entered the palace in time later, and there were forces to help, so they only waited for King Yijun to gain a firm foothold by the king's side, and they were about to start the next plan.

For this reason, the families that did not need to form gangs and factions obviously began to operate one after another, and Yong'an Hou and the Lin family were one of the signals.

Beiming roughly understood the direction of this matter, and he understood a little in his heart.

Several things that have happened in Duzhong recently, after An Chengluo and Dongli arrived, it seems that the two sides are officially in confrontation.

Beiming continued to pay attention to the conversation in the study.

General Lin didn't participate in the whole conversation, and was asked by Jiang Rong and Yong'an Hou from time to time, and he replied that there was no or nothing.

This feeling of being forcibly dragged into the water, General Lin only felt extremely uncomfortable.

"The general and the king of the county have also met in the capital, and the king of the county also appreciates the merits of the general.

Jiang Rong said with a smile, with a hint in his eyes that General Lin would not understand.

General Lin, who was in a dilemma, said hard: "Thank you, the king of the county." ”
