The man obviously looked like a handsome and noble son, but his face was a little haggard, hiding in the crowd looming, looking forward and backward, both wanting Xu Rui to see, but ashamed to let Xu Rui see that it was Wang Minghao, who had a relationship with the Gonghefu Restaurant.

On that day, Xu Rui calculated Lu Tianhao, came uninvited, and met Cui Lingwen, Zheng Yichen and Wang Minghao, the three sons of the Pian family, in the restaurant of Gonghe Mansion.

At that time, they were also high up, their eyes were above the top, even if they didn't pay any attention to the holy Qinfeng, if it weren't for Lu Tianhao's face, maybe they wouldn't have disdained to drink at the same table with Xu Rui.

After that, these four handsome sons found their respective fates in the tide of history, Lu Tianhao died in the war, Wang Minghao fell with the Wang family, Cui Lingwen disappeared after the defeat, Zheng Yichen changed the court several times, and was scolded by the world, just a few months, they each rose and fell, and their fate was very similar, which is really embarrassing.

Now that time has passed, when Wang Minghao saw Xu Rui again, he had long lost the sharpness he had been a few months ago, standing in the crowd and hiding his head and tail, looking like a clown.

This also can't complain about him, the Wang family has always been close to the Cui family, when the Cui family was in power, they were infinitely beautiful, and now that the Cui family tree is scattered, they naturally immediately became the object of everyone's avoidance.

Wang Minghao fell from the altar overnight, and the blow was unimaginable to outsiders.

At this moment, he was bumped into the most embarrassing scene by Xu Rui, and he was immediately flustered, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, stared at Xu Rui like a fool, his lips were wide open, and he was stunned in place.

When the heads of the family saw him like this, they couldn't help but snicker, Wang Minghao was ashamed and annoyed, and his face turned red instantly.

"What's the matter, Brother Minghao doesn't recognize me anymore?"

When Xu Rui saw him like this, he asked with a smile.

Wang Minghao came back to his senses at this time, shook Xu Rui to the end, and said in fear: "How can the grass people not recognize Lord Qincha, it's just that the grass people are ashamed of themselves and dare not take the initiative to talk to Lord Qincha." ”

Xu Rui laughed when he heard this: "Brother Ming Hao laughed, wasn't it the same identity when I met you, at that time, we talked and drank at the same table, so happy, now I'm afraid it's not your Brother Ming Hao who doesn't want to intersect with you anymore, right?" ”

Wang Minghao was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Where does Lord Xu say, the grass people have no such intention!" ”

The heads of the family were also slightly stunned, but they didn't expect Wang Minghao to still have an old relationship with Xu Rui, and listening to Xu Rui's meaning, it seemed that the two had a good relationship in the past, and they immediately regretted that they had alienated Wang Minghao.

Xu Rui nodded: "That's good, it's all fresh faces today, many people are not familiar with the official, you will sit next to me after a while, and you will also introduce one or two to the official." ”

After speaking, Xu Rui nodded at Wang Minghao, stepped into the door of the restaurant, and walked away surrounded by everyone.

Xu Rui walked in person, but Wang Minghao, who stayed in place, was ecstatic, Xu Rui's willingness to get close to him at this time was tantamount to releasing a signal of goodwill to the Wang family.

With Xu Rui's status in Xichuan today, his Wang Minghao's market will rise immediately, and he is no longer a plague god that everyone avoids.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Rui left on his front foot, those who had ignored him before immediately came up and asked him what his relationship with Xu Rui was.

Wang Minghao's head was raised, his back was straightened, and there was no longer the previous submissiveness, as if he had instantly changed back to the original son of the family, swept everyone, and walked into the restaurant with his head held high, leaving behind those guys who saw the wind and steered the rudder.

After leaving everyone's sight, Wang Minghao frowned and muttered for a moment, as if there was something difficult to decide in his heart, which made him fight between heaven and man.

But as soon as he remembered the attitude of those people who were respectful and respectful, the balance in his heart immediately tilted in the other direction without hesitation.

He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and chased after Xu Rui.

"Lord Xu!"

Xu Rui was chatting with several family heads recommended by Zhang Youlin, while walking towards the main hall of the banquet, he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, turned his head and saw that it was Wang Minghao, he couldn't help but stop, and said with a smile: "Brother Minghao came just in time, how about we sit down together?" ”

Wang Minghao was overjoyed, but he didn't agree immediately, but walked a few steps in the surprised eyes of the family heads and came to Xu Rui.

"My lord, it's still early now, and after taking the seat, it's nothing more than some disturbing scenes, why don't you move down to the side hall and relax for a while?"

"Relax?"

Xu Rui looked at Wang Minghao suspiciously, obviously not quite understanding the meaning of relaxation.

Wang Minghao looked at the group of family heads around Xu Rui, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, the Wang family has prepared a little heart for you in the side hall......

As he spoke, he gave Xu Rui a "you know" look.

Xu Rui immediately understood, and when he talked about the key words "side hall" and "heart", Xu Rui immediately remembered the mountains of silver that he saw in the side hall of the political envoy's yamen at noon.

It is said that gift-giving is an art, and sometimes things may not be the most valuable, but the way of gift-giving can reflect the value that the gift itself does not have.

Just like the silver before, if Xu Rui was directly given a silver ticket of 200,000 taels, maybe Xu Rui wouldn't even take a second look.

But if the 200,000 taels of silver are actually placed in front of Xu Rui, it will be a different effect, and the shock of being in a treasure trove will make Xu Rui unforgettable for a long time.

The Wang family is indeed worthy of being a thousand-year-old family, at least far surpassing others on the way to giving gifts, and at this time, hearing that the Wang family has the intention to give it to him, even Xu Rui can't help but have some expectations.

"Since that's the case, let's go to the side hall with Brother Ming Hao for a while."

Xu Rui said loudly, and the heads of the family around him were stunned for a moment.

Wang Minghao was very excited again, and hurriedly led the way with a smile, where is there still half a point of high-ranking children of the family?

And the group of family owners who had lost the limelight still wanted to follow Xu Rui to the side hall, but they were immediately stopped by the Apocalypse Guards led by Cao Siyuan, and everyone had no choice but to wait for Xu Rui in the lobby first.

Zhang Youlin looked at the backs of Xu Rui and Wang Minghao from a distance, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thoughtful, and at this time, several family heads who had just been introduced to Xu Rui by him surrounded him.

One of the heads of the family said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of moth does the Wang family want to make?" Hang a large group of us here, they think they are still the original four families? ”

Another family head sneered: "People want to grasp the life-saving straw of Lord Xu and keep the last foundation of the Wang family, of course, they do everything, how can they care about the feelings of us little grasshoppers?" ”

The head of the family who spoke before snorted coldly and said: "It's true that we are little grasshoppers, but isn't his Wang family also grasshoppers after the autumn, and it won't be a few days before they fully support the Cui family, and they will definitely not be able to escape the sanctions!" ”

"That's the case, it stands to reason that Lord Xu is so wise, how can he be close to the Wang family at this time, but just now Lord Xu has clearly and repeatedly released goodwill signals to the Wang family, is there anything else in this?"

As soon as these words came out, the heads of the family suddenly became worried.

Zhang Youlin frowned, and shouted: "Shut up, it's not up to us people to judge how Lord Xu acts, if you want to die, die farther, don't drag me to the funeral!" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, looked left and right at the well-guarded Apocalypse guards, and quickly closed their mouths, not daring to say any more.

But Zhang Youlin seemed to have suddenly figured out something, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he walked towards the main hall humming a small song.

Everyone didn't know why he was suddenly in a good mood, you look at me, I look at you, and he froze in place with different faces.
