The county lord of Jingyi has set a day for the banquet, and the subordinates are busy preparing invitations.

In order to show the importance of Fu Xiaojiu, Mrs. Yuxiu, Fu Xiaojiu's invitation was the first to be sent.

The maid who sent the invitation first went to Fu Xiaojiu's house and found that she was not there, so in order to please her, the maid deliberately ran to Jingwei Building.

Wan Pozi only said that Fu Xiaojiu was eating with people in Jingwei Building, and before she could say who she was eating with, the maid was in a hurry to leave.

As a result, as soon as she entered the private room, the maid saw Mrs. Lu's mother and daughter, and she was dumbfounded.

At that time, the county lord of Jingyi only knew that Mrs. Lu had gone to give gifts to Fu Xiaojiu with great fanfare, but he didn't know that they had made an appointment to eat at Jingwei Building.

The maid walked in hard, and after reporting the door, the four people present were a little embarrassed.

Fu Xiaojiu still took the invitation in the end, and said politely: "Since the county lord's invitations have been sent, I will definitely go to the banquet the day after tomorrow." ”

"Waiting for Mrs. Yuxiu's arrival, the slave and maid will not be disturbed."

When the maid was leaving, she glanced at Mrs. Lu with her spare eyes, and saw that her face changed slightly, and her heart was very happy.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Qianying looked at the invitation card in Fu Xiaojiu's hand, and they were extremely annoyed.

Mrs. Lu secretly clenched her veil and said to Fu Xiaojiu: "Madam, aren't you going to hold a housewarming banquet the day after tomorrow?" In my opinion, it is okay not to go to this kind of meaningless feast. With your current status, as long as you say that you will hold a housewarming banquet the day after tomorrow, which of the ladies and ladies in the capital will not come? ”

Mrs. Lu's meaning is obvious, so she almost said that you don't take the stinky woman of Jingyi County Lord in your eyes, it's okay to fart when she speaks!

Fu Xiaojiu said openly: "How can I compare with a golden branch and jade leaf like the county lord of Jingyi? Besides, her banquet was scheduled earlier than me, and it didn't hurt to hold the housewarming banquet a few days later. ”

Mrs. Lu saw that Fu Xiaojiu didn't complain about the county lord of Jingyi at all, and her heart was a little blocked.

Mrs. Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, what you say is true, how can we compare with other people's golden branches and jade leaves?" That's why we can sit at this table and eat and drink this pot of wine. ”

Fu Xiaojiu was silent for a moment before he said, "Mrs. Lu, are you still unhappy because of that incident?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't need to say it explicitly, Mrs. Lu knew what she was talking about.

Lu Qianying also knew what Fu Xiaojiu was talking about, and immediately shouted for Mrs. Lu: "That incident was not done by my mother, she was wronged!" ”

Mrs. Lu didn't speak, but she took a sip of wine, covered her eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed.

Fu Xiaojiu: Of course it wasn't your wife who did it, I did it! Hahaha!

Fu Xiaojiu patted the back of Lu Qianying's hand, glanced at Mrs. Lu and said, "Qianying, Mrs. Lu, you listen to my advice." Don't dwell on that anymore. It's been a long time since then, and time will make them know. We are pure, as long as we are worthy of our conscience. ”

Lu Qianying bit her lip hatefully, and said unwillingly: "How can my mother swallow this breath?" At the beginning, she was humiliated in public by the old demon woman of Jingyi County Lord, which caused my mother to lose face, and then my mother didn't dare to go out, and hid at home all day long to wash her face with tears. During that time, my mother was so thin that she lost her appearance. It's all to blame for the old witch who is stupid and doesn't know right from wrong! Once our family has a feud with theirs, it will not be unresolved again! ”

"Qianying......" Mrs. Lu shook her head with tears in her eyes, not wanting her to say any more.

Fu Xiaojiu: You two don't sell miserably in front of me, I don't eat this set!

Fu Xiaojiu explained: "Mrs. Lu, Qianying, you misunderstood. I'm not asking you to forgive the county lord of Jingyi for what he did, I mean to let you look forward! No matter what kind of golden branches and jade leaves she is, it's just a false name. Lord Lu is upright and in his prime, and he has a deep foundation in the imperial court, and he will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future! ”

Fu Xiaojiu's words gave Mrs. Lu a good relief, she immediately wiped away her tears, and said with a fighting spirit: "I remember everything you said." Rest assured, I will make myself happy every day from now on, and I will wait to see the old witch crawling at our feet after my lord and aunt climb to the high position! ”

Lu Qianying also said as if she had been beaten with chicken blood: "Yes! We are indeed better than those who have only false names! Come, for the sake of our future, let's make this toast! ”

Fu Xiaojiu is drinking lively, and Wan Lin and Lu Changzhi are not lonely here.

It was such a good thing to meet Wan Lin in private, Lu Changzhi didn't forget to bring his uncle.

When Song Xiu could see Wan Lin, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He and Wan Lin are the same batch of Jinshi, and they are named on the gold list together, but it has only been less than a year, and Wan Lin has already managed to the fourth grade, which is simply soaring.

Song Xiu was envious of Wan Lin and felt helpless at the same time, Wan Lin was able to achieve such a high position, not only because of his own ability, but also because of luck that ordinary people could not have.

Wan Lin hadn't met Song Xiuneng for a long time, and when he saw Song Xiuneng again, Wan Lin also had a lot of emotions in his heart.

Song Xiuneng was not a few years older than him, and they were so high-spirited when they stood on the Jinluan Hall together.

But Song Xiuneng's face was already tired, and most of the vitality on his body disappeared.

"Ten thousand adults!" Song Xiu was able to see Wan Lin, and respectfully saluted him first.

Wan Lin saluted him and smiled humbly.

"Lord Song, I haven't seen you for many days, I think you're also busy with official business, right?"

Song Xiuneng smiled reluctantly, "Xia Guan is just doing some chores every day, just busy." ”

When the two of them were greeting, Lu Changzhi could see the envy of Wan Lin in Song Xiu Neng's eyes, and how much he hoped that Song Xiu could be like Wan Lin one day.

"Hehe, Lord Wan, don't blame me for bringing Xiu Neng without saying hello to you. You should know that he only likes to read at home on weekdays, and he doesn't have much to do with him, so I brought him here. ”

Wan Lin said with a smile: "Brother Xiu Neng and I are Jinshi of the same dynasty, and we are both officials in the Hanlin Academy, if Xiu Neng does not give up, we can be regarded as friends." ”

Song Xiuneng immediately said, "How dare Xia Guan dislike adults? My lord is really joking. ”

"Xiu Neng, we are not above the court at the moment, don't divide the official ranks so clearly. I still call you Brother Xiuneng, and you still call me Brother Lin, so that you can be close! ”

Lu Changzhi hurriedly responded: "Yes, what Master Wan said is right. Xiu Neng, you see, all adults can put down their bodies and call you brothers, don't be too rigid. ”

Wan Lin said to Lu Changzhi again: "Lord Lu, don't see me like this, just call the juniors by their names." ”

What he said made Lu Changzhi feel very comfortable, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, the old man will call you by your name in private." You can also call me Uncle Lu. ”

Wan Lin happily responded, "Okay, Uncle Lu." ”

After the salutation became more cordial, the three of them also felt much more cordial when they said angry words again.

Lu Changzhi began to tell Wan Lin about the likes and dislikes of the elder of the Yuan Pavilion, which led to many topics.

In fact, Lu Changzhi was able to achieve today's position not only by relying on shrewdness and sloppiness, he had knowledge in his belly, and he was also an aspiring young man full of ideals and ambitions.

However, after all these years in the officialdom, he not only wanted to get promoted but also wanted to make a fortune, so he gradually lost his heart and became what he is today.

Song Xiu could see him like this, and he felt a little disgusted in his heart, but he had to cling to him.

The three of them were tasting tea, eating refreshments and side dishes, talking and laughing, and those who didn't know really thought that the three of them were bosom friends.

Wan Lin finally understood at this time that he couldn't help himself in the officialdom, even if he didn't want to attend the birthday banquet of the elder of the Yuan Pavilion at all, and he didn't want to play with Lu Changzhi and Song Xiu at all, but he had to do this against his will.

But fortunately, on this kind of social occasion, he has participated in a handful of bureaus, and in the future, he will use his busy official duties to go back and forth and never want to participate in the entertainment.

The three of them were chatting happily, and one of them suddenly came uninvited.

"Fourth uncle, brother-in-law, I heard a voice like you outside just now, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

An Yushu walked in with the curtain, and when he entered the house, he first talked to Lu Changzhi and Song Xiuneng.

When he finished speaking, he realized that the person who was sitting with Lu Changzhi and Song Xiu was actually Wan Lin!

An Yushu saw Wan Lin for a moment, and his expression changed very wonderfully.

They are real classmates, but now he is only an eight-grade Dali Temple commentator, but Wan Lin is a fourth-grade member!

An Yushu has never admitted that Wan Lin is a hundred times stronger than him before, and he is always unconvinced, thinking that Wan Lin is not as smart and capable as him, even if Wan Lin wins the champion, it is just luck.

However, even if Wan Lin is not as smart as him and not as capable as him, Wan Lin's luck is enough to beat him.

An Yushu is now convinced, even if he is not convinced.

When Wan Lin saw An Yushu walk in, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

He can maintain his superficial enthusiasm for Lu Changzhi and Song Xiu, that is because they are just not the same as him, and they have not done anything that almost ruined his future.

And the lack of virtue that An Yushu and Wan Kai did back then, Wan Lin would not forgive them even if he died.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Changzhi's face was very cold, because he had already heard what An Yushu had done at the beginning.

Knowing that An Yushu had harmed Wan Lin like this, Lu Changzhi was reluctant to deal with him.

Song Xiuneng didn't have a good impression of him, and when he met, he just gave him some face and said hello to each other.

This is "there is no impermeable wall in the world", unless you don't do bad things, sooner or later the world will know about it.

An Yushu also felt that Lu Changzhi was a lot indifferent to him, and he was rejected for various reasons when he visited him several times.

He came here occasionally to have tea with some friends today, and when he heard Lu Changzhi's voice, he thought about coming over to have a look, but he didn't expect him to really touch it.

But An Yushu was standing at the door of the private room at the moment, and Lu Changzhi just asked, "Why are you here", but he didn't mean to let him come in and sit.

Song Xiuneng didn't have any expression on his face, and Wan Lin was pretending not to see him at all, he should drink tea and tea, and he should eat dim sum and eat dim sum.
