Who would have thought that the always cold and unsociable Sibeile actually accepted Lord Marhan's post, and happily said that he would definitely go to the banquet. 《

The Four Belles were so affectionate that Lord Marhan's smile froze for a moment when he heard this, and then he smiled again and said, "It is naturally better that the Four Belles are willing to appreciate the light in person." ”

Yinzhen rummaged through the post in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Not only will I go, but Yinxiang will also go." Don't worry about the wine, Lord Marhan. ”

Although Marhan guessed that the thirteenth elder brother would also come, when he really heard the news, he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and said, "Fourth Belle said that he was laughing. Then he made an excuse and walked away.

Lord Marhan turned his back and secretly wiped the sweat that was oozing faintly from the corners of his forehead, walked a few steps away from Yinzhen, walked out of the door of the military department, and turned on the palace road. Before he had walked a few steps, he heard someone calling him from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Babel who had led the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother was walking towards him.

"Say hello to Babel, hello to the ninth elder brother, and ten elder brothers." Marhan stood on the palace road and saluted the three elder brothers.

The tenth elder brother came up and grabbed Bai and said: "Just now, the starling brother also said that you have a birthday for your wife, what should you give?" I said, no one invited us, so why bother to rush to give gifts. You just appeared, and the master just asked you, what's wrong? Climbed the high branches? "Yin? These words are sandwiched with guns and sticks, which makes anyone uncomfortable listening to them.

Marhan has been in the officialdom for many years, of course, he doesn't care about Yinyu's unpleasant words, he understands better than anyone else the truth that "a dog that can bark doesn't bite people". Malhan just glanced at Babeile on the side with a little weakness, and saw that his expression was as usual, so he said with a smile on his face: "Where did the tenth master say, you are a distinguished guest who can't be invited by a minion." ”

Yinxi said as if he didn't care at all: "Don't you listen to Yin? Nonsense, he's just talking. ”

Malhan arched his hand at Yinxi, "The slave can save it." ”

"Brother shouldn't get too close to the minister, after all, making friends with the minister is a taboo for our emperor." Yin Yu paused as he spoke, and when he saw Malhan nodding yes, he continued: "But you are in the military department, so it is not good to deliberately bypass them, but it will make people think that you are rude." ”

"Thank you Babel for your kindness." Marhan bowed to the end and thanked him.

Yinxi was very satisfied with Marhan's humility, "That person probably won't go either, right?" ”

Marhan looked embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "I was about to find someone to bring a message to Babel, and Sibeile just told the slave that he would take the thirteenth elder brother to the banquet together, this ......"

Yin Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, this is rare, but thinking of the gossip in Sijiu City recently, he probably knows what it means. "Huh...... After all, Lord Marhan raised a good daughter. Yin Yu laughed dryly, but he still couldn't help but hurt Marhan.

"Babel......" The sweat that Malhan had just wiped off rose again.

"That's it. You don't have to worry too much about things that can't be avoided horizontally or vertically. Yinxi waved his hand, "It's just that what the hell is going on, Lord Marhan, you have a good idea in your heart." At this point, there is already a faint hint of threat.

Malhan could only nod his head again and again, "The slave understands, the slave understands." ”

Yinyu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Starling, let's go, there are still a lot of things to do in the Ministry today." ”

Yinxi nodded, glanced at Marhan meaningfully, and then led the person away.

Yinyu walked past Marhan and whispered, "It's better for adults to really understand." After saying that, I went to chase Yinxi as if nothing happened.

Leaving Malhan alone on the palace road in a daze, knowing that a cold wind blew and blew him a spirit, he could be regarded as coming back to his senses. Looking at the three elder brothers who were far away, Marhan sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that he will have a hard time in the future.

Yinxiang only learned that Yinzhen took over the post for him the next day, and he couldn't help shouting in front of Yinzhen for a while, "I'm not going." Go yourself! As he spoke, he threw the post back on Yinzhen's desk.

Yin Zhen wrote the fold in his hand, glanced at the post that was thrown back, and said without raising his head: "I should have gone down, what's the matter if you don't go?" ”

"Fourth brother, you are not a good person to socialize at all, why do you pick up this kind of post?" Yinxiang didn't understand, how could Yinzhen suddenly be so enthusiastic about this kind of thing. "Who doesn't know who that Malhan is? In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't even invite the starlings, and inviting us is just a meaning, not to let people pick on it, why do you take it seriously? ”

Yinzhen finally finished writing the excerpt, put down the pen, stared at Yinxiang and said, "Are you dissatisfied with my acceptance of the minister's post?" Still not satisfied that we are going to Marhan's house? ”

Yinxiang's eyes widened, and he wanted to defend but couldn't speak. In a fit of anger, he simply sat back in his place and stopped talking.

Yinzhen threw the post on Yinxiang's table and said coldly: "You have to go, and if you don't go, you have to go." That's it. ”

Yinxiang tore up the post, but he still suppressed his heart and said: "I'll prepare a thicker gift, you can take it." I really don't want to entertain him. ”

"It's not promising!" Yin Zhen scolded directly. "Just because of a woman, you still plan not to deal with Marhan for the rest of your life?" As he spoke, he opened another book, "Do you think no one really knows about the things you do?" Let me tell you, let alone Sijiu City, even the palace has spread all over the city. You're fine, but do you know what they say about Zhaojia's? ”

As soon as Yinxiang heard the sound of Guan Nian, he hurriedly walked to Yinzhen's side and asked, "What did they say?" How come I haven't heard anything. ”

Yin Zhen sighed helplessly, "Do you think anyone will dare to chew their tongue in front of you?" ”

"But I didn't even see Nian Sheng that day, she didn't come out at all, what else can I say?" Yinxiang explained.

Yinzhen put down the fold in his hand, looked up at Yinxiang and said, "Just you standing at the back door of someone's house is enough of a gimmick, what else do you need?" If the two of you really talk face to face, it is estimated that even Huang Ama will not be able to sit still. And what about the previous events? ”

Yinzhen's words made Yinxiang look dumbfounded, it seems that he underestimated the power of this rumor.

"Otherwise, why do you think I'm going to drag you to this meal?" Yin Zhen watched his brother's reaction, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Right now, the whole capital is a joke, if you don't hide anymore, won't it make people poke your backbone and say that you have a weak heart?" Only when you come to the door generously, those nonsense words will no longer circulate. ”

Yinxiang also understood Yinzhen's painstaking efforts, "But isn't it embarrassing for me to go like this?" Don't say it's me, I'm afraid even Marhan himself will be embarrassed. ”

Yin Zhen frowned, and then asked with a cold face, "What's embarrassing?" You, an elder brother who is favored by your father, go to your colleague's mansion to have a banquet, it is a peaceful act, what is there to be embarrassed about? Because of Zhaojia's? Didn't you do nothing? So what is your heart empty? As for Marhan, he is desperate for you to go, and there is nothing more protective of his precious daughter than to have a false name with you. ”

was bombarded by Yinzhen's cannonballs, and Yinxiang finally regained some of his old minds. "I understand, I'll go calmly, those villains are naturally not good at talking about what to say." His actions are easily understood by the outside world as the royal family's intention to marry Zhaojia's family, if so, then it is easier for the prince to meet his future Fujin in private.

"I'm not stupid yet." Yin Zhen let out a sigh, "Do you know why I don't approve of your relationship with the Zhaojia clan?" ”

"Because the one who avoids Marhan being a starling?" Yinxiang guessed.

"Because you really like her!" Yin Zhen couldn't help but raise his hand and knock a chestnut on his brother's head, "Everything is about yourself, it's messy, you like Zhaojia so much, when you encounter something that has anything to do with her, this brain is like empty, and it's easy to go wrong." If you don't make a mistake, what if you break the affairs of Huang Ama, or if you cause some trouble? ”

Yinxiang was told by Yinzhen one by one, and he didn't talk back, but just lowered his head and listened.

Yin Zhen looked at him like that, and he didn't want to say anything, but he just took the fold and continued to work.

Soon on the 27th of March, when they left the palace in the evening, Yinzhen and Yinxiang rode their horses to Marhan's mansion one after the other.

In the morning, the invited ladies of each family went to Marhan's house, and at noon Mrs. Marhan held a banquet to entertain everyone, and after lunch, the church was lively, until the sun was in the west, and the ladies dispersed one by one.

However, because there was still Lord Marhan entertaining in the evening, the errand support in the house did not stop for a moment.

Nian Sheng accompanied Mrs. Marhan to see off the last few guests, asked her to send her back to the main courtyard to rest, and turned around and went into the kitchen to Zhang Luo. Lord Marhan had already seen the name of the banquet, so she knew that the evening was really the highlight of the day, and there was no room for sloppiness.

Seeing that things were almost done in the kitchen, Nian Sheng was busy going to the flower hall of the banquet to finally review the seating arrangement and furnishings. There is also a small class specially invited for adults to appreciate, and it is good to tell them again.

Waiting for the next person to report to Niansheng, saying that the master was already waiting for the guests at the door, Niansheng hurriedly entered the kitchen again, confirmed that the wine and dishes would not go wrong, and finally stared at the first round of dishes to be served, Niansheng was relieved. After a few words of explanation to the housekeeper, he was ready to go back to his small courtyard to rest.

Hanging Toad felt sorry for his young lady's busy day and didn't even eat well, so he had the heart to ask the kitchen to send some porridge, but was stopped by Niansheng and said: "I'm hungry left and right, so don't eat it." I just want to get a good night's sleep right now. ”

"Seventh Sister~" Before Nian Sheng finished speaking, Guan Zhu's voice rang out.
