The road in the mountain city was rugged and undulating, and the distance between the Xu Mansion and the Chu Wangfu was quite far, almost spanning most of the main city of Chongqing, so Yao Ruoyu had to experience a bump that lasted for an hour again.

When Yao Ruoyu was about to vomit out his lunch, the carriage finally arrived in front of the Xu Mansion.

Holding on to the car door, Yao Ruoyu rubbed his stomach with a wry smile on his face and walked down, if he could be given another choice, he would definitely refuse the invitation at that time. Then, when he thought that when he went back later, it seemed that he would have to enjoy it again, and suddenly the wry smile on Yao Ruoyu's face became more and more intense.

Although Fu Feng and Wu Xue are from Guizhou and Chongqing natives, they have never enjoyed this kind of bump for a whole hour since they came from modern times, so at this moment, they are also squatting on the side of the carriage with a pale face like Yao Ruoyu, slowly adjusting their breathing.

Just three people like three salted fish hanging in the ...... Ahem, when he was squatting on the side of the carriage, the coachman had already handed the invitation to the concierge of the Xu Mansion and handed over the gifts prepared in advance.

According to the etiquette at this time, people who are invited to participate in activities such as tea parties will prepare gifts for the host, Yao Ruoyu and the others naturally don't know this, but Chu Zheng expected that this group of people would definitely not know these etiquettes, so he had already prepared these for them.

Seeing that the carriage was the sign of the Chu Palace, the porter had already shown a respectful smile, and after seeing that it was the invitation sent by the commander-in-chief himself, the respect on his face had already turned into a compliment, and he bent down to invite Yao Ruoyu, Fu Feng, and Wu Xue in.

Seeing that the other party was polite, Yao Ruoyu also smiled politely, and then quietly moved his fingertips, and released a spiritual spell to himself, and suddenly the discomfort all over his body was swept away, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xue was keenly aware of the spiritual energy fluctuations in his fingertips, and immediately grabbed him, gritting his teeth and saying, "The rain and dew are all wet...... For the sake of the party-state, help my brother ......."

"What the hell?" Looking at Wu Xue amusedly, Yao Ruoyu asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Wu Xue, who was already pale because of motion sickness, suddenly turned even paler with anger, and said angrily: "Milk me, bastard!"

"Haha, obey the order!" Seeing that Wu Xue was close to the brink of an outbreak, Yao Ruoyu hurriedly cast a spirit spell on her and Fu Feng to eliminate their motion sickness symptoms.

"Isn't this Brother Yao? I haven't seen you for a few days, but you're in good spirits!"

A heroic laugh suddenly came from not far away, and then I saw a strong man in soft armor striding towards Yao Ruoyu from afar.

Turning his head to see the person coming clearly, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "General Xu." ”

The person who came was the general of Chongqing Mansion, the first fierce general under Xu Jingmiao, with the strength of five realms and seven layers, and Xu Kuanhong, who was alone that day, was the opponent of Wanyan Meng and Wanyan Madness.

Xu Kuanhong is a northerner, so he is very burly, and when he saw Yao Ruoyu greeting him, he laughed and said: "Oh, you're polite, in private, just feel free, if you don't dislike it, just call me brother." ”

"Xu Kuanhong, the martial artist in front of the Taishou Mansion got off the horse, and the Wenchen got off the sedan chair, have you forgotten?"

Yao Ruoyu smiled unconsciously when he heard this, and was about to answer, when he heard a coquettish voice coming from Xu's mansion, and then saw a petite woman walking out of it, staring at Xu Kuanhong with frowning eyebrows.

Seeing the person coming, Xu Kuanhong slapped his head, and after a sigh, he quickly turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Master Cao, didn't I see that Brother Yao was excited, and accidentally forgot about it? Don't be so online!"

Hearing Xu Kuanhong's answer, the woman glanced at Yao Ruoyu, Fu Feng and Wu Xue, frowned, and said, "How do you have friends everywhere?" I have told you several times that since you are in an official position, you must remember not to set up a private mountain and make friends with the party......

Without waiting for the woman to finish speaking, Xu Kuanhong raised his head, counted the clouds in the sky with a grin, and suddenly became so angry that the woman stomped her feet again and again, and said angrily: "Xu Kuanhong!"

Xu Kuanhong quickly lowered his head when he heard this, bent over and leaned up, I don't know why, as soon as he saw his movements, Yao Ruoyu suddenly crossed a word in his mind - groveling.

However, this kind of black bear-like burly body can actually make groveling movements, which is really a talent!

"Oh! Master Cao, don't get excited, don't get excited!" Xu Kuanhong stepped forward with a smile, "You are such a small person, what if you are so angry that you will prop yourself up in the end?" After all, at your age, you can't rise vertically, you can only rise horizontally!"

I thought that the other party was going to comfort himself with good words, but I didn't expect it to become this style of complaining in the end, and the Cao master bookkeeper directly had red circles in his eyes, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing that Master Cao was about to cry directly, Xu Kuanhong panicked, hurriedly comforted him, and took a long time to get the other party's tears back.

Looking at Xu Kuanhong, who was sweating profusely, Yao Ruoyu glanced at the sleeve of the master of Cao with some amusement, because just now he seemed to see the master book quietly put away a garlic.

Noticing Yao Ruoyu's gaze, Master Cao's face turned red, and then he returned to his flatness, and said, "Your Excellency is Mr. Yao, right?"

Yao Ruoyu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's Yao, I don't know who the girl is?"

Xu Kuanhong immediately laughed when he heard this, and put his arm around his shoulder: "Oh! Brother Yao, you are lonely and unheard, right? In our entire Chongqing Mansion, Master Cao's book is known to everyone!"

Xu Kuanhong rolled his eyes imperceptibly, and then Cao Yuying looked at Yao Ruoyu and said indifferently: "The little girl Cao Yuying, who is currently the head of the Taishou Mansion, came to welcome Mr. into the mansion on the order of the commander-in-chief. ”

"The main book?" blinked, and it took Yao Ruoyu a long time to recall the meaning of this position.

The so-called chief bookkeeper is similar to the position of secretary in later generations, but the status is higher. And if this Cao Yuying is put in the future, it will be equivalent to the secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee, and this status is higher than the position of some county lords.

Thinking of this, Yao Ruoyu's heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said with a smile: "You actually greeted the labor director in person, this consul is really too polite, how dare you be it!"

"Director?" Cao Yuying was stunned when she heard this, obviously not knowing the meaning of this word, that is, Xu Kuanhong also scratched her hair, and said curiously: "Brother Yao, what does this lord and director mean?"

Seeing that the two of them didn't even know the word "director", Yao Ruoyu was also stunned, and then reacted and said with a smile: "The local dialect of my hometown is not interesting." ”

Seeing Yao Ruoyu's smooth words and Cao Yuying, who had a steady temperament, couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously displeased, but she didn't say anything, signaled the doorman on her side to open the door, and then took Yao Ruoyu, Fu Feng, and Wu Xue into the Taishou Mansion together.

As for Xu Kuanhong, this guy is a person from the Taishou Mansion, so naturally he doesn't need Cao Yuying to lead the way, so he follows directly with a smile.

"The tea party will be held in an hour, and all the literati and scholars from all walks of life in Chongqing Prefecture will be attended," Turning back at Yao Ruoyu and the others, Cao Yuying hesitated slightly, and then muttered, "Your Excellency has a lot of respect for you, and I hope you won't make him lose face." ”

Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned, while Wu Xue was curious: "What do you mean?"

"Not everyone can participate in the tea party, at least you must be proficient in one skill, such as calligraphy and painting, such as poetry, such as musical instruments......" Explaining this, Cao Yuying frowned at them slightly, "If you perform too poorly, the Commander-in-Chief will also be considered to be ignorant, and may even be used as an excuse by the opponents of the DPRK and China to attack the Commander-in-Chief." ”

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Fu Feng raised his thick eyebrows and snorted, "Isn't it just to invite someone to a tea party?

"Fu Feng!" patted him on the shoulder, Yao Ruoyu smiled at Cao Yuying, "Director, we are cowardly, don't scare us, but we will pay attention to proportion." ”

Cao Yuying pursed her mouth when she heard this, but finally shook her head, turned around and continued to lead the way.

Seeing Cao Yuying turn around, Xu Kuanhong suddenly came to Yao Ruoyu's side and said in a low voice: "Brother Yao, Master Cao didn't tell a lie, it's true, although this mother-in-law is a little verbose, she likes to meddle in things, and she has a violent temper...... But he is quite loyal to the Commander-General, and this kind of thing will definitely not be nonsense. ”

Yao Ruoyu bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said softly: "Thank you." ”

"It's okay!" grinning, Xu Kuanhong smiled, "Isn't this also for the sake of our Commander-in-Chief?"

Just as the two were talking, Cao Yuying had already led them to the backyard of the Taishou Mansion where the tea party was located.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Yao Ruoyu saw many servants and maids walking back and forth, busily arranging the tea party scene.

When he was scanning the surroundings, Yao Ruoyu suddenly heard Fu Feng laugh and said, "Brother Yao, doesn't it look like we were back then?"

Raising his eyebrows, Yao Ruoyu smiled: "It's indeed very similar! Speaking of which, if we didn't come here, we would be in charge of the graduation party next!

Fu Feng, who was still giggling, suddenly had a sad face, and said depressedly: "Do you want to arrange a sketch again?"

Wu Xue, who was watching coldly, licked a few mouthfuls of sugar gourds fiercely, and snorted coldly: "Hey, we're here now." ”

Glaring at her angrily, Yao Ruoyu muttered, "We're just reminiscing, okay? You won't even give us this right, bastard! Hey, how do I feel Wu Xue, you're eating sugar gourds all the time? Where are you so much?"

Blinking her eyes, Wu Xue humbly hid the sugar gourd behind her, and grinned: "Is there one?

"Are you blind to me and Fu Feng?" Yao Ruoyu, who had three black lines on his head, stared at her speechlessly.

"Oh, why do you care about these details?" Wu Xue, who was in a dilemma, simply widened her eyes and snorted, "Those who care about the details are stupid!"

"The devil is in the details!"

"Success or failure, you poop!"

"I'll go, how can I curse?"

Seeing Yao Ruoyu and Wu Xue fighting, Fu Feng rubbed his forehead helplessly, while Cao Yuying and Xu Kuanhong watched in amazement as the two of them went from a little bee to fifteen or twenty, and in the end, they simply used fifteen or twenty, and then decided the final victory.

Holding down Wu Xue's little head with a smile, Yao Ruoyu smiled smugly: "Oops, Wu Xue, you're too stupid!"

"Ahh

Just when the two were fighting, Xu Jingmiao, who was not far away, also noticed the movement here, and when she saw that it was Yao Ruoyu coming, she walked over with a smile and said with a smile: "I knew that with Brother Yao's temperament, most of them would leave immediately, and sure enough." ”

"Haha, the Commander-in-Chief has no last resort, it's amazing!" Yao Ruoyu knew that the other party was ridiculing him for being dressed casually, so he responded casually, then shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Besides, this is a tea party, not a dress party, what are you doing with dressing?"

The sword eyebrows were raised, and Xu Jingmiao smiled and said, "Brother Yao is at ease, naturally not bound by vulgar etiquette." As he spoke, he had already looked at Fu Feng and Wu Xue beside Yao Ruoyu.

Seeing this, Yao Ruoyu hurriedly introduced each of them, and then his heart moved, and he hurriedly wanted to stop Wu Xue, but where was the time, this cute girl really fell into a state as soon as she saw Xu Jingmiao, and the peach light in her eyes was so bright that she could dye the entire Taishou Mansion with a thick layer of peach blossom red.

Somewhat helplessly, Yao Ruoyu finally pulled Wu Xue behind him after using all his strength, and then smiled at Xu Jingmiao awkwardly, and asked, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, where are we sitting?"

"There are a lot of seats here, so you can sit casually. Smiling and raising her hand, Xu Jingmiao replied.

"Okay, then let's go sit down first...... While speaking, Yao Ruoyu had already dragged Wu Xue and fled quickly to a seat, Fu Feng also hugged his fists in embarrassment, and then hurriedly chased after him.
