Lu Qi was choked by them, her face was red and her neck was thick, but she couldn't say anything to refute it for a while.

Jiang Xian was not interested in her, and everyone in the courtyard was clear.

But if she looks ugly, it's just that, she still looks pretentious, but she didn't vote for a big family, and she has the life to be a young lady!

But because of this, whenever there is a glimmer of hope, she does not want to give up easily. She thinks that she is not much worse than Shen Wangxin, although she is just a slave who serves her master, but Shen Wangxin is still a country girl! She can win Jiang Xian's attention, why can't she herself?

Lu Qi returned to her room, lay on the bed with wide eyes, looked at the ceiling and persuaded herself. With a master like Jiang Xian, which maid in the yard is not moved? If you can't stay by Jiang Xian's side, when you reach a certain age, you can only be the master and give it to the steward in the Hou Mansion casually.

In that case, she might as well be dead!

Lu Qi was stunned for an afternoon, but fortunately, she was the eldest girl in the courtyard, and Jiang Xian usually didn't tell him to work. There's not much to do.

It wasn't until dinner was passed in the courtyard that she got up to serve Jiang Xian with dinner.

Jiang Xian didn't stay in the mansion for a few days, and An Guohou's birthday arrived. He hurriedly returned to the capital from Jiangzhou, leaving Shen Wangxin in Jiangzhou for his father's birthday banquet.

The entire Anguohou Mansion is also extremely lively because of the birthday banquet of Anguohou, and the mansion is lit up and down. The stewards of the mansion have been busy for nearly half a month, and it was only a few days ago that the guest list was finalized.

All the guests were arranged to eat in different places, from the courtyard to the porch, and then to the hall in the front yard, there were more than 100 seats. And the main purpose of this birthday banquet is not only to congratulate the Marquis of Anguo on his birthday, but also to introduce Jiang Xian, the prince of the Marquis of Anguo, who has never shown up, to the dignitaries in the capital.

The female dependents were entertained by Mrs. Hou, and Jiang Xian followed An Guohou and wandered between the banquets. Although everyone had never seen Jiang Xian, looking at his face similar to An Guohou, they didn't need to be introduced to understand that this time An Guohou might really want to pass on his position to his only sister-in-law! .

The father and son saluted table by table, and the entire Anguo Marquis Mansion was staggered for a while. And as soon as there are many people under the cover of prosperity, it is inevitable that some people will quietly discuss it.

"Brother Shi, why haven't I heard of it before, An Guohou still has such a son? Mrs. Hou has not been out of nowhere. Could it be that this Marquis of Anguo was born to which concubine? ”

An official who had just entered the officialdom asked, but the one sitting next to him was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Brother Xian, don't talk at will!" The mother's family of this Marquis of Anguo is quite extraordinary, and he is the eldest son of the Marquis of Anguo, but he is not born to a concubine! Now that An Guohou is on his knees, he is a sister-in-law, even if he doesn't like him, he will be the next Marquis An Guohou in the future! If your words are heard, and reach the ears of the Son, will it not be an insult to him?"

The official who asked the question was already in a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked his friends around him. When he first entered the officialdom, he was a little more upright, but he was just confused for a while, and he really didn't think much about it.

"Thank you, brother." The official hurriedly picked up a glass of wine on the table and took a sip to suppress the shock.

He glanced at Jiang Xian not far away, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he was graceful. The appearance and figure are very similar to An Guohou beside him, but the father and son give people the feeling of diametrically opposite.

An Guohou has been in a high position for a long time, and ordinary people are beside him, so he is naturally cautious, and he doesn't even dare to speak loudly. And Jiang Xian on the side behaved in a solemn manner, and his temperament was not close to that of a layman, and he was even more elegant, so that people couldn't take their eyes off it at a glance.

"Brother Shi, do you know where the mother of this Marquis of Anguo comes from?" The official couldn't help but ask.

His friend glanced at him and whispered in his ear: "Do you know the Langya Wang clan back then?" ”

The official was startled and couldn't stop snorting, causing everyone at the table to look at him.

He apologized in a low voice, covered his mouth and asked, "The Langya Wang clan that the world brother said, but when I was Emperor Hui, the famous Wang Prime Minister?"

The friend nodded slightly.

The official was even more surprised and couldn't help himself, and asked: "Ah! But, but ...... That Wang Jaefu...... Isn't it, isn't it?"

He couldn't speak for a moment, and winked eagerly at his friend.

In fact, this matter is well known, and even if he doesn't make it clear, his friends know what he means.

Back then, Wang Zaifu of the Langya Wang clan was under one person and above ten thousand. originally had a bright future, but I didn't expect to be confused when the year came, but I was accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!

The huge royal family collapsed overnight. The Langya Wang family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been in a slump since then.

Until Emperor Showa ascended the throne, in the first year of Xining's expedition to Liangzhou, the leader of the Dapo clan Shi Xiu's army, captured the thief Yang Jun and returned to Beijing. In order to celebrate the victory, the era name Kaiping was changed to Xining, and the Langya Wang family was pardoned. So far, there has been a slight improvement, but after all, it is not as good as before, and the descendants of the Langya Wang family have never entered the court as officials.

But a person from a big family like An Guohou married a woman from the Langya Wang clan as his wife, which is really incredible!

The friend explained: "This is true, but the first emperor ruled the country with benevolence, and if he said that he would not be investigated, he would definitely not be investigated." After all, the Wang family had many protégés in the capital back then, and perhaps An Guohou wanted to obtain the connections of the Wang family back then. ”

After he finished saying this, he suddenly saw An Guohou and glanced over here. Knowing that under this environment, and separated by such a distance, An Guohou would definitely not be able to hear their conversation.

But the two of them were still weak for a while, and hurriedly lowered their heads to eat wine, and to eat vegetables. Just put the things on the table into your mouth, and didn't dare to say a word of gossip about An Guohou anymore.

An Guohou retracted his gaze and led Jiang Xian to the next table. At this table, there were all members of the court, and An Guohou introduced Jiang Xian as always, and after he was done, he asked Jiang Xian to toast one by one.

Jiang Xian actually recognized them for a long time, but he still looked at them one by one, and had a new evaluation of them in his heart, so he toasted and greeted them one by one.
