Chapter 36: The Old Man
King Qi is here.
As the servants and maids outside ran around for a while, the lively discussions of the ladies in the flower hall of the back house were gone, and they became solemn and upright one by one, lest they would be summoned by the king of Qi for a while.
The ladies sat next to their own wives, all of them had different thoughts, and some wanted not to be looked down upon by King Qi, a sick embryo, what point do you have for a lifetime? Some people think that even if it is a sick embryo, it is still the king of Qi, and the king of Qi has not yet married, if he becomes the princess of Qi, it will be the glory of the family.
Shen Changping accompanied Han Yujie to the outside of the flower hall, glanced at the situation in the flower hall, and asked Han Yujie: "Sister Yujie has brought her daughter over today?" After asking, he smiled again, "Sister Yujie is so young, even if she has a daughter under her knees, she is still young." β
Han Yujie knew what Shen Changping meant by asking.
His Majesty's oracle to marry the king of Qi came from Changjing, and no one in Qi knew who didn't know?
Wealthy families like them were even the first to know.
This time the royal family banquet was originally a banquet for the nobles of Qidu, but the king of Qi suddenly came, the purpose could not be more obvious, it was clear that he came to choose a concubine first.
I don't know which noble girl will be in the picture of the king of Qi, the king of Qi is the king of Qi, but unfortunately the king of Qi is a sick embryo, so it is a blessing and a curse to be chosen.
"I don't have a daughter, I only have a son, and I just look young, but I can actually count as old."
Han Yujie said this, of course Shen Changping did not ask Han Yujie's age again, and entered the flower hall side by side with Han Yujie, Han Yujie went to sit down, Shen Changping meekly walked to Mrs. Wang to sit down, and did not go to his mother Mrs. Shen to sit down.
Mrs. Wang was very satisfied with the second daughter-in-law's move, and quietly shook Mrs. Shen's hand.
On the other side of Mrs. Shen sat several young ladies of the Shen family, and they were also the only young ladies who came to the Wang family's banquet.
What about Li Yueshu?
At this moment, he is naturally sitting with Dr. Qing's wife Li.
Growing up so big, the Li family has never relied on her so much. And she has successively put on the affairs of Xia Liyun and Weng Ce, if she wants to continue to gain a firm foothold in the Wang family in the future, she must grasp the backer of the Li family.
In the main hall of the front yard of the Wang family's mansion, at this moment sat King Qi, with beautiful clothes and a handsome face, because he was sick and weak, he did not sit upright, but leaned slightly on the chair, and stuffed various soft cushions behind him, so that he could sit as comfortably as possible, even so, he still had to cough a few times from time to time.
The officials of the family who were present all paid their respects, and for a while they were like being in the court, which gave King Qi the illusion of coming to the royal family.
Among these old faces that he was tired of seeing, there were also some fresh faces, all of whom were young children of these nobles, and King Qi had also seen them one by one, and finally solemnly met Wang Xiaojian.
Sure enough, he is the most beautiful man in Qidu.
This title spread again in Qi Capital with the Great Banquet, and naturally reached Xu Xiangchu's ears.
"You are Shen Sikong's son-in-law?" King Qi asked, although it was Wang Xiaojian who asked, Shen Sikong on the side also knelt down busily.
King Qi said: "Hasn't the prince entered the office yet?" β
"The grass people are shallow and ambitious." Wang Xiaojian knelt on the ground and said humbly.
He had actually participated in the Qi State Talent Selection Examination before, but it was true that he did not pass the exam because of his lack of learning, but Wang Xiaojian stubbornly thought that it was Dr. Qing's retaliation, after all, his father Wang Situ had some small feuds with Dr. Qing when he was alive, so even if the eldest sister-in-law Li Yueshu was close to the Li family, after his father passed away, for many years, Dr. Qing did not look at the Li family's face, and arranged an official and a half position for Wang Xiaojian.
But Shen Sikong is still willing to marry the Wang family, did not withdraw from the marriage, and married the eldest daughter to the Wang family, Wang Xiaojian still has to say fair in his heart: Shen Sikong is righteous!
At this moment, Wang Xiaojian heard the righteous Shen Sikong say to King Qi: "It's Weichen's dereliction of duty and failure to cultivate a good son-in-law." β
King Qi nodded: "The son-in-law is half a son, Wang Situ passed away early, Shen Sikong should treat this son-in-law as his own, you are in charge of Qi State's water conservancy and other projects, and you need manpower, it is better to let Wang Gongzi follow you through the experience first, and after the experience, turn around and let him do the errands for the lonely." β
With King Qi's words, Shen Sikong can install Wang Xiaojian on his fat shortage from now on, and Weng and his son-in-law will make money together.
Immediately, Weng and his son-in-law bowed and thanked King Qi.
Next, the king of Qi summoned several daughters of the great family, because the banquet was held by the Wang family, and the daughters of the Wang family were also summoned.
Shen Changping and Li Yueshu originally went to the front yard with Mrs. Wang, but when they saw Wang Xiaojian standing in front of them waiting for everyone, they pulled Mrs. Wang to deliberately walk slower.
Seeing that Li Yueshu had already walked in front of Wang Xiaojian, Mrs. Wang frowned, and wanted to shout Shen Changping to go faster, don't let the goblin charm her son again, only to hear Shen Changping holding her hand and saying to her: "Mother, Ah Jian and sister-in-law have been in a relationship for many years, let's not do too much, you see, that Weng Ce's matter, sister-in-law also took care of her father-in-law." β
Mrs. Wang thinks about it, it is better for her son to have one more helper than one more enemy, unless Li Yueshu is allowed to die. As long as Li Yueshu lives, she must be used by Wang Xiaojian, and she must not be allowed to become Wang Xiaojian's roadblock.
"Ping'er, Ah Jian is really fortunate to be able to marry a good match like you." Mrs. Wang took Shen Changping's hand and liked this daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
When her son made a mistake, she didn't care about it, but helped cover it up together, isn't it the case that all the most beautiful daughters-in-law are like this?
Shen Changping gave Mrs. Wang a sweet smile, but said in his heart: I'm just watching, can it be that if I look at it, my eyes will be dirty? No, it's you who are dirty.
Over there, Wang Xiaojian was still a little nervous when he saw Li Yueshu approaching.
In just a few months, too much has happened between them, and there is a feeling that things are wrong.
It was rare for Li Yueshu to be alone with Wang Xiaojian, so she hurried up and said: "Uncle, I really don't have anything with Weng Ce, uncle, you have to believe me." β
I believe you're a ghost!
Wang Xiaojian was indignant.
"Let the past pass. It's not appropriate to say that at a time like today. Wang Xiaojian just wanted Li Yueshu to get out of front of him.
However, Li Yueshu was lingering and reluctant to walk away easily, and she said: "Thank you Uncle for saving me in danger yesterday, if it wasn't for Uncle Rushing in time, I'm afraid I would have been ...... by Weng Ce."
Wang Xiaojian didn't want to hear this name again for a moment, he said behind Li Yueshu: "Mother, lady, the king wants to summon you, you go quickly." β
Li Yueshu sneered, pouted, and waited for Mrs. Wang and Shen Changping to come, so they went to see King Qi together, and naturally threw Wang Xiaojian a displeased look, Wang Xiaojian just didn't see it.
Shen Changping walked into the hall and saw the person on the high seat, Xu Xiangchu, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but show a faint smile.
Vaguely, in a remote palace in the palace, the sick and weak child said to her: "When Achu grows up, I will marry you." β
The girl in the white armor laughed, with the arrogance of a military general: "Haha, that's not possible, I'm a princess, you're the emperor's younger brother, you're my imperial uncle." β
The sick and weak child was lying on the couch, his face was snow-white and bloodless, weak and beautiful, but there was stubbornness in his eyes: "What about the princess?" I am not your imperial uncle, and you are not my imperial brother's own daughter. β
Yes, she is not the daughter of the first emperor.
She is the daughter of the monarch of the Guzhu country, the small country is weak, invaded by foreign enemies, she fought out of the siege to the Great Zhou to move the rescue troops, the first emperor is righteous, and sent troops to support. After the war was extinguished, the first emperor accepted her as a righteous daughter, and she also persuaded her father to make the Guzhu Kingdom a vassal state of the Great Zhou. And she continued to be reused by the first emperor and became a fixed sea god needle placed by the first emperor in the six armies.
In order to repay the kindness of her acquaintance, she was born and died for the first emperor's southern expedition to the north, and swore allegiance to the young prince after the death of the first emperor.
Unexpectedly, the prince ascended to the base month, and summoned her back to Beijing with twelve holy oracles, and as soon as she entered the palace gate, the bad news that the prince was poisoned and killed, and then the new emperor ascended the throne, and she was given to death on the charge of murdering the prince-
Wake up again, the reincarnation of heaven has been twelve years, and the new emperor has sat firmly on the throne of the emperor, and she has become Miss Changping and came to the new emperor's lair, Qi State.
I also saw the old man, and the old man has become the new King of Qi.
When I grow up, I will marry you. Tong Yan is unscrupulous, and the words are still in his ears, but he can't recognize her anymore.
"Courtesy Wang Jialinβ"
"Leeβ"
"Shenβ"
"Knock on the king."
Mrs. Wang took Li Yueshu and Shen Changping to the ground.
"Let's be flat."
All three women on the earth lifted up their heads, and they were all beautiful women.
The officials on both sides frowned when they saw King Qi's eyes lit up, and couldn't they see that this new King Qi was actually a pervert? Then they felt that they were too worried, and the king of Qi did not further want to occupy the courtiers, but only asked the daughters of the Wang family some words, praised them a few words, and then let everyone disperse.
Since it is a banquet, the Wang family has prepared so many wonderful programs for this banquet, of course, the Wang family's hard work must not be in vain, but also let the guests have a good time.
Then, the whole Wang family was lively and lively like a festival, those who swim in the lake go to the lake, those who throw pots go to throw pots, the game of games, and there are also many ladies and ladies who love to listen to operas under the stage, and there are also many old men.
In the crowd, Shen Changping finally saw Xu Shaoye.
Both of them were in the middle of the lake tour, standing by the lake and waiting for the boat.
Although they recognized each other, they didn't recognize each other, but they just smiled and greeted each other slightly.
Soon a cruise ship docked, the people on board came down, and it was Xu Shaoye's turn to board the ship.
Seeing that Shen Changping had boarded the ship, and Zhou Yan had also boarded the ship, but Zhou Qing was nowhere to be seen, Xu Shaoye turned around and wanted to call Zhou Qing, but Zhou Qing was not behind him.
Xu Shaoye was urged by others to get on the boat, went to sit down next to Zhou Yan, and asked Zhou Yan, "Where is Zhou Qing?" β
Zhou Yan said: "She went to find my mother." β
Opposite the two, Shen Changping cast his eyes, the scholar sitting next to Xu Shaoye was dressed plainly, in stark contrast to Xu Shaoye's gorgeous robes, and even he was incompatible with the jewels of the entire Wang family today, but he was upright.
Weng Yirui is non-stop, if others are already anxious, but Weng Yirui is methodical.
Suddenly, a young woman stopped him in his way and called out, "Master Discipline! β
Weng Yirui recognized the other party: "Zhou Qing, why are you here too?" β
In the official school, there are not many poor students, Zhou Yan is an outstanding one, Weng Yirui pities Zhou Yan's talent, and he has a lot of help for the Zhou family, so he naturally recognizes Zhou Niangzi and Zhou Qing.
At this moment, seeing Zhou Qing, Weng Yirui showed a kind smile from his elders.
Zhou Qing smiled and saluted, and said, "I came to find my mother, I want to come to my mother, what about my mother?" β
"You are really a filial child, Zhou Niangzi has a good way of raising children and raising children," Weng Yirui said again, "Your mother is not in the house, I sent another errand to her." β
"I don't know where my mother went, what errand did Lord Weng send to her? I'm afraid she won't be able to do it alone, so I want to help her. β
Weng Yirui stared at Zhou Qing for a while, and then gave her an address.
