When He Huan came in, she bumped into the lady and the general talking about a small fortune fan, and she didn't care so much, so she directly told her about the matter.

"General, Lord Jingyu said to be waiting for you in the study."

As soon as he heard that Jingyu was waiting for him in the study, Guan Duyuan immediately rushed to the study.

Jingyu came to him for tonight's dinner, "General, today's dinner, the ministers gathered, and we didn't receive an invitation to the banquet. ”

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace will hold a dinner party, inviting the prince and important ministers to participate in the dinner, and the emperor attaches great importance to it and makes it very grand. Why didn't he get the invitation this time, so Jingyu had to discuss it with the general.

General: "Jingyu, have you heard any news?" Which ones have been invited to this year's dinner? Also when did those people receive the post? ”

Jingyu: "General Huiyu, I don't know who I invited, but the Prime Minister's Mansion has received the post for many days. ”

After a long silence, the general said, "That's it, if you don't receive it, you can't go, I'm also waiting for me in a room." Nothing! ”

Jingyu knew that it was not as simple as the general said, and the general just wanted to comfort him. He thought of one more thing, who can participate in today's dinner in the house?

"General, today's dinner in the mansion, what about the Chang family and the Jiang family? When you grounded it, you said that no one can leave half a step without your permission. ”

He calmed down and thought about it carefully, the Chang clan was already his own person, and a cooperation agreement had been reached, and the Jiang clan was injured and had not yet recovered, and they were all in this mansion, and it seemed that they couldn't talk about it if they weren't invited. It's not a big problem to please, but there will be people who are unhappy, and after thinking about it, they still can't help but invite, if it spreads, they will also say that he is a dignified general, and he can't treat the people in the house equally, which will damage his face.

Guan Duyuan said: "Please! It's rare to get together once, and besides, there are people who have backers, and it is unreasonable to not be allowed to participate in the dinner. ”

Jingyu replied: "Yes, General, then I will arrange for someone not to notify." ”

Guan Duyuan thought for a while and said, "No, you can't arrange for other people to go, it's just you, you can go on my behalf, don't let them think I'm perfunctory." ”

Jingyu took the order, and he was alone in the study thinking about things.

He said in his heart: "The emperor didn't invite me to the dinner, just to show that I was no longer blessed with holy grace, and to give me a disgrace in front of the ministers." It's best not to go, and I'm too lazy to cope. ”

There was no need to deal with the emperor and the ministers, Guan Duyuan simply slowly and leisurely thought about how to arrange today's position in the study.

According to Ohara's custom, female dependents can't dine at the same table with foreign ministers, he invited the ministers today, and it seems that they have to sit separately, in fact, he really wants to sit at the same table with Shuhe.

can't break the rules, that's still according to tradition, separate inside and outside, and it's a big deal to have a supper with her later.

It's getting late, artillery is sounding everywhere, the festival is officially kicking off, and the fireworks are all over the sky.

In the General's Mansion, the hall was lively, and all the commanders raised their glasses to wish the General a Happy Chinese New Year's Eve! Raise a glass and drink together, talk and smile, although it is peaceful on the surface, but the bottom of my heart is muttering. At this time, the general should have been in the palace, but now he was drinking and dining with them, and the general must have been in trouble or had a dislike with the royal family, and they couldn't say anything about it.

The hall was lively, and the family banquet for the ladies inside was not lively, nor was it cold. Mrs. Tai was present, and no matter how stupid the people below were, they would not make a fuss. Guan Duyuan invited the commander, and naturally also invited the commander's wife, the relatives are here, and the people in the mansion know more about the rules, even the Jiang family and the Chang family are also restrained and modest today, which makes Mrs. Tai very satisfied, so everyone is also satisfied.

The female dependents don't drink, Shu He feels very boring, but out of politeness, she naturally has to smile and behave generously and decently.

Those relatives all know that the general is famous and young, but no one knows this general's wife, and her identity is not worthy of the general, a country girl; And I heard that this general's wife is not favored and has never made trouble, so I want to see this general's wife and see who she is.

The general's wife is naturally not bad in appearance, she is also an excellent beauty, her words and deeds are also generous and decent, compared with the three concubines next to her, they are also very different, why is she not favored? This is known to outsiders. Whether the general's wife is favored or not, I know.

It is rare for Mrs. Tai to be so happy as she is today, and when the banquet is nearing the end, she generously invites everyone to watch the play. Guan Duyuan knew that his grandmother had a hobby of watching dramas, so he had already invited a troupe to wait in the house.

Everyone followed to the theater and watched the play together, and after watching it for a long time, Shu He didn't know which play was being played on stage, so he sat dry and stupid. She glanced at the others, but she looked at it with relish, especially Mrs. Tai, who saw that it was so energetic that she had the momentum to hum a few words.

So she also pretended to be funny, but in fact, she wanted to slip away in her heart, and she didn't know what happened to Guan Duyuan.

Guan Duyuan opened the altar to drink freely, it was a pleasure, and just when they were drinking vigorously, the palace attendants were ordered to come to deliver meals. Everyone knelt down, and Guan Duyuan knelt down to receive the order.

The chamberlain cleared his throat and spoke: "According to Your Majesty's instructions, today's festival, the first course was specially given to General Duyuan, and the general should have been invited to the palace to sit at the same table, but I thought about state affairs today and was not in a good mood, so I only invited a few old ministers to catch up with the old days, and I hope the general will not blame!" ”

"General Twilight, these are your Majesty's exact words. The old minister also has a few words to say to the general, His Majesty is in a bad mood today because of state affairs, only invite the prime minister, the imperial history, Shangshu and other old ministers to reminisce, the general must not be too careful, His Majesty will give this first dish to the general, what an honor, Your Majesty for the sake of the general, the general also has to solve problems for Your Majesty! The will has been delivered, and he has to go back to restore his life, so he will leave. ”

"Accept the order, thank you Lord Longen!"

He made a big salute, and the chamberlain said for the emperor: "Excuse me, be flat." He got up, and then bowed deeply to the inner chamberlain, and said, "It's really hard to bother your lord to run, and thank you for reminding me to do my best." After some politeness, the inner waiter hurried back to resume his life, and he didn't want to stay long, signaling Jingyu to stuff a bag of silver to the waiter, and the waiter excused, Jingyu hurriedly said: "My lord, this is a little bit of the general's heart, the weather is cold, drink a cup of hot tea on the way, don't shirk!" The chamberlain took the money bag, took it with the trend, and found that it was not light, so he immediately left with a smile.

Everyone was drinking happily, but they were interrupted by this little episode, and they all had their own ideas, and the emperor's current behavior was to slap and give a candy to eat. Everyone observed Guan Duyuan's expression, there was no difference, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he picked up his wine glass and called on everyone to drink, which was another heavy drink.

An hour later, everyone in the hall drank and began to call him brother, all older than him, so they all called him brother, and Jingyu on the side was stunned by this scene.

"Brother, come, do it!"

"Brother, don't be afraid, there are brothers here, that is, the king of heaven, Laozi, and the brothers will also cut your head and bring it to you."

"We are brothers, after drinking this glass of wine, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and my brother will go for you."

“......”

If you know that you call the general's brother in the future and call yourself the general's brother, you probably have the heart to wipe your neck.

The hour was not early, many of the female dependents left by carriage, those with families in the capital also went back, and the rest were people far away from home, and Jingyu arranged to go to the wing room to rest.

Mrs. Tai was very sleepy, so she went back to her room early to rest, and all the foreign ladies and relatives also went back.

There are only a few unfulfilled intentions left, and Shu He is not very interested, and intends to return to the room. However, the Jiang family on the side has always looked at her unpleasantly, because Mrs. Tai was present, and there were many outsiders who were not easy to start.

And now that she has finally seized this opportunity, how can she let her leave easily. When Shu He passed by her, she deliberately fell, pretending to be pitiful, and asked, "Madam, what did the concubine do wrong to make you look so unpleasant?" ”

Ah Lian on the side instantly understood the meaning of her master and wanted to run out.

Shu He was not angry but threatened, and shouted loudly: "Stop!" Want to find someone? No need! ”

Many of the ladies of the General's Mansion were still there, and just like that, in full view of everyone, Shu He pulled up Jiang Li, who was sitting on the ground, and then threw her back to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Madame to be like this. Originally, I thought she was going to help people up, but I didn't expect to fall again, which was too unexpected.

She said frankly to Jiang Li: "Since I have toppled your reputation, why don't you come to something practical?" I'm a man who never carries a trumped-up charge! ”

Jiang Li had never seen her like this, and thought that she was still the same as before, so he would underestimate her.

She also said: "In the past, I let you bully because I didn't care about anything, but now I have someone I care about, if you still want to be the same as before, then I'm sorry, you recognize the wrong person!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, the Rong family and the Chang family would not help the Jiang family, everyone just didn't see it. Jiang is also a smart person, this time he can't pretend to be innocent, and swallowing his anger is the only choice. After all, the general's heart is not in himself.

Shu He and the others left in Jiang Li's humiliated, unwilling, and hateful eyes.

Of course, this kind of thing was heard by the general very early, and the general held the wine, the corners of his mouth rose, his mind was clear, and he was very happy, and he drank it all in one go.

The departure of the people, the rest of the rest, and the indignation of the people in their own little world.

The General's Mansion, which had been lively in the middle of the night, finally gradually calmed down.

Guan Duyuan drank his head, stood in the courtyard blowing the cold wind, and looked at the fireworks in the sky, he thought of Shuhe. So I went to her room, and the man sat under the lamp in a daze, and without saying a word, he pulled her away.

Stopped in the courtyard and pulled her to watch the fireworks in the sky, she looked up at the sky with a smile on her face, he looked at her side face, at that moment, he felt extremely happy.

She looked up and felt that she couldn't see enough, and she said, "I can't see it!" ”

Immediately he was taken into his arms, his waist was tightly hugged, and his feet were empty, and the whole person was flown onto the roof. With a wide field of vision, she was filled with joy when she saw the fireworks beyond.

Seeing a brilliant light in the distance, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to point there, and her mouth let out an exclamation "It's so beautiful". He also felt that he still watched because he had her by his side.

He asked her, "Do you want to go?" ”

She replied, "Uh-huh, yes! ”

He glanced at her, and saw that the dress was indeed inconvenient as she had said, and remembered that she was bent on wearing her own clothes, so he said, "Then you change your clothes!" ”

She said, "I'm going to wear yours!" ”

He looked at her and nodded, and she was so happy that she would have rolled off the roof if he hadn't been holding her. He couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead, and then spun to the ground.
