Chapter 112: The Banquet

In Suzhi Zhai, the old lady heard Banxia say that the one in the third room was pregnant, and Jiang Lingran sent a small half car of supplements over.

Zheng Mingyun sneered when he heard it: "It's really like a gathering of things." ”

The old lady glanced at her coldly, and then instructed Banxia: "You go to the treasury to pick up some nourishing things and send them over there." ”

Banxia is the first to say yes.

Zheng Mingyun was anxious: "Don't go!" ”

Although the old lady is now in charge, Zheng Mingyun's meaning, Banxia does not dare to disobey.

Hearing this, he paused at his feet, looked at Zheng Mingyun, and looked at the old lady worriedly.

The old lady's face sank.

Zheng Mingyun suddenly realized that it was not himself who was in charge of the house now.

Facing the old lady's eyes, he smiled: "Why does mother bother to make a face for her, can she know what is good?" It's also a waste to send things. ”

The old lady couldn't understand how Zheng Mingyun could become so stupid!

I remember that when she first got married, she was cautious and wise, and she never made a mistake.

What's going on all these years?

Zheng Mingyun was looked at by the old lady's scrutinizing gaze like a thorn in the back, and called nervously and timidly: "Mother." ”

The old lady retracted her gaze and said, "You can send things to Yuan Chengbo's Mansion for Wanyu to be able to send things one by one." ”

"Now that the third daughter-in-law is pregnant, you, the sister-in-law, plan to shrink your head and pretend that you don't know?"

Zheng Mingyun listened to the old lady calculate the accounts of Yuan Chengbo's mansion, and her face was a little uncomfortable: "Can this be compared?" ”

She also thinks it's worth sending a few cars to Yuan Chengbo.

But if she gave Jiang Laosan's family one more grain of rice, she would not be happy.

The old lady said: "Naturally, it can't be compared, but you should understand that this time is different from the past." ”

"The four girls and one of the nieces know how to send supplements in the past, I am a mother, you are a sister-in-law, if you dare to keep your head silent today, your backbone will be broken tomorrow!"

Saying that, he let out a long sigh and said tiredly: "The house can no longer bear the cold and harsh slanderous remarks. ”

Zheng Mingyun understood what the old lady meant.

The fear that permeated his heart after realizing it shocked him and a layer of cold sweat broke down his spine.

Looking at the old lady, she couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Mother is right, it's the daughter-in-law who is not thoughtful." ”

Saying that, he stood up and said with a smile: "It's better for my daughter-in-law to prepare supplements for the third brother and sister and send them over in person, so I look kind." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you can understand." ”

Zheng Mingyun shook the handkerchief with a smile on his face and left Suzhizhai.

Banxia was stunned: "Old lady, the slave maid is so happy to see the eldest lady giving a gift for the first time." ”

The old lady sneered: "As long as it is beneficial to her, she will be happy." ”

Because of the use of silver in the treasury on the Wanshou Festival, Qin Minghao, the secretary of the household department, took the squire Jiang Xianmu and the household inspector Shi Qianmian Sheng.

Qin Minghao is the elder brother of Qin Peijing, the queen of Yan, and he is very dignified in front of the emperor.

Before the report was finished, the emperor threw away the fold and said, "Accompany me to play a game of chess." ”

Qin Minghao smiled and said yes.

and asked Jiang Xian Mu and Shi Qian to go back to the government office first.

The two exited the Qinzheng Hall and met Guo Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The three of them saluted each other, one entered the temple, and the other went out.

The palace gate was imminent, Jiang Xian Mu glanced sideways at Shi Qian, who was a step slower, and said with a smile: "Why did Lord Shangshu think of taking you into the palace today?" ”

Hmph, a little inspector dares to be arrogant!

Hearing this, Shi Qian looked up at Jiang Xian Mu, lowered his eyes again, and said softly: "I don't know, if Lord Jiang is curious, go and ask Lord Shangshu." ”

Jiang Xian Mu sneered: "You have been in the position of inspector for a year, right?" ”

Shi Qian replied: "Lord Jiang has a good memory, just over a year. ”

Jiang Xian Mu said: "It seems that Lord Shangshu wants to reuse you, so he brought you to show your face in front of the emperor." There was a fierceness in his eyes as he spoke.

Shi Qian was silent for a moment, and then replied lightly: "Lord Shangshu is generous. ”

These words successfully blocked Jiang Xianmu's mouth.

Who dares to say that the upper peak is bad?

Not to mention in front of this person who is most likely a contender.

Jiang Xian Mu secretly scolded him for sloppy and slapping horses.

At the gate of the palace, I met King Xinyan Gu.

The two of them hurriedly stood on their feet and waved their hands in salute.

Yan Gu nodded with a pleasant face, and looked at the two of them: "Father Emperor summoned Lord Jiang for the purpose of the Birthday Festival?" ”

In recent days, he has been in charge of the affairs of the Halloween Festival, and he has a close relationship with the officials of the household department, and he seems to be a little more familiar with his conversations.

Jiang Xian Mu looked at Yan Gu and asked him, glanced at Shi Qian proudly, and replied with a smile: "It was Qin Shangshu who brought his subordinates to give him a chance for the Longevity Festival." ”

Yan Gu's smile froze.

He is in charge of the Wanshou Festival, Qin Minghao will prophet him even if he wants to give him, and now he is directly facing the saint, which shows that he does not take him seriously in his heart.

Or is it all at the behest of the crown prince?!

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to stop, and said: "In this way, this king should naturally listen to how many silver taels were spent on this longevity festival." ”

Shi Qian quietly glanced at Yan Gu's expression and frowned.

Jiang Xian Mu smiled and bowed to Yan Gu.

Guo Su saw Yan Gu coming towards him, he hurriedly stopped and waved his hands, and before he could say a word, Yan Gu had already walked past him.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

Hurriedly shouted Jiang Xian Mu and Shi Qian, who were leaving, and asked, "His Royal Highness King Xin is in a bad mood today?" ”

Jiang Xian Mu shook his head: "I don't feel it." ”

Guo Su was even more at a loss, he had never offended Yan Gu, why did he turn a blind eye to himself?

Shi Qian glanced at Yan Gu's back again.

Jiang Xian Mu looked at the booklet in Guo Su's hand and said with a smile: "Lord Guo is still busy with the banquet guest list?" Can it be finalized? ”

King Xin was lenient and weak, and most of the list he drew up was included in most of the capital.

The emperor doesn't like luxury, and the Halloween Festival in previous years was mostly simple.

The people invited are all princes and princes, as well as first- and second-class officials.

After seeing the letter handed over by the king, he couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to hand over the errand to Guo Su again.

Guo Su listened to Jiang Xianmu's words, like an initiation.

Could it be that the king thought that he had robbed him of his errand!?

What a great injustice!

Who wants to take over this mess?

Who to invite and who not to invite, isn't this all a matter of offending people?

How dare he be the master of the Ministry of Rites, it's not all the emperor who is finalizing!

Jiang Xian Mu looked at Guo Su's obscure face, frowned, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong with Lord Guo?" The face is so bad? ”

Guo Su came back to his senses and shook his head: "Thank you, Lord Jiang, I'm fine." As he spoke, he was about to leave, but he paused again when he remembered something, and said, "I forgot to congratulate Master Jiang, my nephew is also on the palace banquet list." ”

Jiang Xian Mu was stunned.

The emperor invited Jiang Ji to participate in the palace banquet on the Wanshou Festival!

How can a deputy general of the border pass participate in the palace banquet, is it because he has the false title of General Sipin Jianwei?!

But the four products of Jingguan are not listed, why should he!

Shi Qian looked at Jiang Xian Mu with a look of horror, loss, and anger.

He smiled slightly and said, "There are new bamboo shoots at home, congratulations to Master Jiang." ”

Jiang Xian Mu was excited to come back to his senses.

got into the carriage and went straight to Jiang's house.
