Yan Tong didn't know what she said to Ma Shi after she went back, and she didn't want to care about these things, because then she was busy again.

The next day, Yan Yan set up two tables of wine and invited the old aunts and grandmothers of the Lu family to dinner, and invited Mrs. Lu and the Zhu family, the Huang family, and the two aunts and grandmothers Lu Jing and Lu Zhu as accompaniment.

This is what Yan Yan promised early in the morning, two days ago, because Lu Jing and Lu Zhu had a treat, Yan Yan didn't have a turn, so Yan Yan only delayed it for three days.

After this incident, Yan Yan asked to give Lu Duan a trip again, this time accompanied by Lu Zhu and Yan Peng, as well as Meng Nuo of the Meng family, Meng Nuo once had an estrangement with Lu Duan because of the original owner's hanging and Yan Yan's marriage to Lu You, Yan Yan wanted to take this opportunity to resolve it.

Without him, she didn't want these personal grievances to affect the court.

For this reason, Yan Yan also specially invited the crown prince and several highnesses to accompany the guests, and also took Lu You back from the academy.

Yan Yan also took great care to prepare this meal, and served several special dishes, dry stir-fried shredded eel and braised eel, as well as a boiled shrimp, a salt-and-pepper shrimp and a sauerkraut fish, the soup is soft-shelled turtle soup, and the raw materials of these dishes are fished out of the pool in the back garden.

Because Yan Yan was not on the table, Lu You, as the only host, also knew how to stand up with a wine glass and toast.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Highness, His Royal Highness the Fourth, His Highness the Sixth, and two uncles, uncles, you are coming, the first glass of wine, to my father, my father is thousands of miles away, and his son is incompetent and can't accompany him. . . ." Lu You didn't say the next words, but raised his glass and drank it all.

Lu Duan's eyes turned a little red, "This kid, the first glass of wine should be toasted to a few highnesses, they are the most honored guests." ”

But to say that, Lu Duan also dried up the wine in the cup.

"It's okay, it's a family feast." Li Ji waved his hand, he still had this mind, otherwise, he would not have sat in front of everyone.

"My brother-in-law is good, and I have learned to toast at length." Li Sui praised.

He didn't deal with Lu You many times, and the deepest impression was the stupidity on the day of the wedding, and although he also spoke at the housewarming banquet later, he didn't say so much.

"Because I have a good lady." After Lu You finished speaking, he took the initiative to pour some wine into his cup, this time he wanted to salute Yan Peng, "Uncle, thank you for raising your mother, and thank you for marrying her to me, these words were half a year late, and they have been circling in my heart for half a year, and I can finally say it today." ”

Yan Peng's eyes were also red when he said this.

So many things have happened recently, he really feels that he has no shame to come to see this niece, but he didn't expect that Yan Yan would take the initiative to invite him to accompany him, and he didn't expect that Lu You also gave him such a big surprise, and he would actually act like a normal person.

But what made him even happier was to learn that Lu You had entered Class C, and he would be able to try it out in another year or two, if he was lucky, he might be able to make a name for himself or something, and it would not be in vain for Yan'er's talent and appearance.

"Good boy, Yan'er will entrust it to you, you must treat her well." Yan Peng picked up the wine glass and said in a choked voice.

He remembered the mess at home, so he felt that Yan Yan was even more precious.

But Li Ji didn't know, he saw that Yan Peng was choked, and hurriedly shot at Lu You, "Brother-in-law, shouldn't you have done something to provoke my sister?" ”

"Brother Prince, don't worry, the eldest brother-in-law won't, it's Lu Shizi who wants to bully the eldest sister, and the eldest brother-in-law helped the eldest sister win Lu Shizi." Li Sui was originally immersed in the dry cooking of eel silk and eel, but raised his head when he heard this.

This is the first time he has eaten long fish, and he didn't expect it to taste so delicious, smooth and tender, and a little spicy and spicy, it was simply too enjoyable.

"What kind of nonsense, who did you listen to?" Li Ji twisted his brows slightly, and asked Li Sui, but he looked at Lu Duan.

"Yan Bin said." Li Sui replied and sandwiched another piece of eel.

Seeing this, Lu Duan had to explain the events of that day, and Li Ji was interested in the poems written by Yan Yan when he heard it, so he ordered Lu You to transcribe it.

Lu You did not leave the table, but picked up the wine jug and poured a little wine into a few cups for Li Ji and Li Sui, "The third glass of wine, to a few highnesses, thank you for protecting the lady." ”

"Brother-in-law, don't make a mistake, Yan'er is our younger sister, don't we protect her, do we protect you? Remember, she is the only you. Li Ji said and raised his glass.

Next, Lu You saluted Lu Zhu and Meng Nuo at the same time, and after saluting the guests, he left the table to transcribe Yan Yan's two poems.

As soon as Lu You left, Lu Duan boasted of being the master, and also raised his wine glass to salute a few highnesses, Li Ji waved his hand, "Lu Gong, the wine is enough, a few of us are here today, one is also for you, and the other is to have a few words to tell you." ”

It turned out that Li Ji had seen Li Cong before he came, and Li Cong learned that Yan Yan was preparing wine for Lu Duan, so he not only invited several princes to accompany him, but also invited Yan Peng and Meng Nuo to accompany him, and the smart Li Cong suddenly guessed that Yan Yan was talking about Lu Duan and Meng Nuo.

Because since Yan Yan's accident, the party struggle in the court has become more and more obvious, almost what Lu Duan is in favor of, Meng Nuo is going to oppose it, at first Yan Peng was still on Meng Nuo's side, but since Yan Yu and Lu Ming got engaged, Yan Peng and the two did not help each other.

And Lu Duan is the head of the four dukes, and he is in-law with two of them, and now he is also close to Xu Liangxing, so Lu Duan's momentum is getting stronger and stronger.

But Meng Nuo is not weak, he united Wen Wenshan, the left minister of Shangshu Province, and Wang Shixiu, the right minister of Zhongshu Province, in addition to several major marquis families, and it has also become a climate, specifically against Lu Duan and others.

For this reason, Li Cong has had a headache recently.

Because Wang Shixiu and Wen Wenshan did not approve of the Great Zhou provoking a war, let alone an alliance with the Jurchens, and Lu Duan was the staunchest supporter of this war and one of the most important decision-makers, and was the person Li Cong trusted and relied on the most at present, what is the difference between them opposing Lu Duan and opposing him?

Wang Shixiu and Wen Wenshan are in charge of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province, if the two of them unite to oppose him, Li Cong is sometimes helpless.

Don't look at him as the emperor, but he is not alone in the government.

This is also the reason why he has not really signed an alliance agreement with the Jurchens so far, and why Lu Duan went to the front line to inspect the military situation.

In fact, Li Cong didn't think about saying that he was going to be a couple, but he never found a suitable opportunity, but he didn't expect Yan Yan, the kid, to go ahead of him, so Li Cong once again sighed that this kid was smart about Bing Xue.

Seeing this, Li Cong took the opportunity to raise his own questions, he remembered that Yan Yan was strongly opposed to the Great Zhou and Jurchen Alliance, since his father recognized Yan Yan as smart, why did he refuse to listen to Yan Yan's proposal in this matter?
