Shen Zhou stayed in Fengzhou for ten days before returning to Beijing to resume his life. Although Song Zaitian came with him, he was not a messenger, but he happened to be on the same road, and he had already taken leave, so he did not have to return with him.

…… Deng Zongqi had recovered from his injuries a little before Shen Zhou left, and went south to Qingzhou to catch up with his companions.

The brothers and sisters of the Song family lived in Fengzhou in the name of visiting relatives, and they tacitly waited for the Yiwei to return. At the beginning of August, Gu Yiran and his entourage finally entered Fengzhou City. The servants of the Wei family reported to the back hall layer by layer, and Mrs. Song asked, "Can they find Zhong Xiaoyi's family?" ”

"There are two carriages in the guard, which I didn't have when I went." The subordinate lowered his hand and replied, "Looking at the style of the materials used in the carriage, it seems that it was purchased in Qingzhou, and I think it is Zhong Xiaoyi's family." ”

Old Madam Song nodded, and asked Mrs. Song to call her over, and instructed: "The son of the Deng family has saved our family, although he was invited to come to the house to recuperate from his injuries last time, but he is worried about the holy order, and he went to chase after his companions before his injuries were all healed, and I don't know how it is now?" Speaking of which, our family is not serious yet, thank him...... Now that he has returned, it is not permissible for him to pass through the city without a feast of thanksgiving. ”

Mrs. Song understood and said: "Deng Gongzi is not passing by alone, if you only invite him alone, but not his companions, I am afraid that Deng Gongzi will also be embarrassed." Why don't you invite all of them to come to our house to talk about it? ”

"That's how it should be." Old Madam Song said, "Let Changfeng and Gao Chuan go together to invite ...... Our 'girl' child is expensive, so don't neglect the person who helps. ”

Because of the previous incident of Deng Zongqi saving Wei Changying from Shekou, it is natural for the Wei family to invite each other now. In addition, Zhong Xiaoyi's birthday is still a month, from Fengzhou to the imperial capital, the light car Jane has never been more than ten days, the two grandchildren of the Wei family were ordered by the old lady to invite each other in person, with sincere words and sincere attitudes, Gu Yiran and others made a slight excuse and agreed.

They have no other place to stay in Fengzhou, and if they want to go to Ruiyu Hall, they naturally have to discuss how to settle Zhong Xiaoyi's family. The number of Zhong Xiaoyi's family members is small, it is Zhong Xiaoyi's younger brother and sister, of which the younger brother Zhong Jie is married and has a 'daughter', this time even his wife and 'daughter' are brought. Sister Zhong Li is thirteen years old, and she was about to talk about people, but Yiwei went to Qingzhou to find them, knowing that her sister was 'serving' the saint in the palace, and she was deeply interested, Zhong Jie naturally would not let her sister continue to make people in Qingzhou.

The Zhong family was poor, so Zhong Xiaoyi would enter the palace as a maid. Zhong Jie and his wife didn't have much knowledge before, seeing that Yiwei was dressed extraordinarily, even the Qingzhou officials who helped to find them were polite to them, knowing that they must be big people - these four big people were very considerate and polite to them, and at first they were very apprehensive, still in a dream. But in the past few days from Qingzhou to Fengzhou, I didn't see any change in the attitude of the Yi guards, so I felt that Zhong Xiaoyi should be very favored, and these Yi guards were afraid of this, so they didn't dare to snub themselves.

The concubines of the Wei Palace have a total of sixteen levels from the lowest beauty to the highest queen, and Xiaoyi is the fifth from the bottom, compared to Zhong Xiaoyi's background and the Chenguang who 'served' the saint, this share is already considerable. But in terms of grade, it is actually one level higher than Gu Yiran and others...... Of course, these Zhong family members will not know, but the elder sister has entered the eyes of the saint, and she is so favored, her family is also a relative of the emperor, and she is flattered, but her heart is very proud.

After entering Fengzhou City, the team was stopped by Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan, Zhong Jie was very happy at first, thinking that these two sons were for Zhong Xiaoyi, and they came up to flatter, and he was thinking about asking Gu Yiran about the origin of the other party, whether it was worth staying by himself. It sounds like Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan invited Deng Zongqi, and by the way, Gu Yiran, Duanmu Wuwu, and Liu Xixun were invited...... But they were never mentioned.

It wasn't until Deng Zongqi and Gu Yiran agreed to the Wei family's invitation and turned their heads to discuss how to settle Zhong Jie and the others that Zhong Jie understood in disbelief: This Wei family didn't think about inviting them at all!

For the Zhong family, who knew that their sister had been in the clouds since she became a holy concubine, the Wei family's ignorance at the moment was like a hard blow, waking them up: It turns out that even if my sister 'serves' the saint, not everyone in the world has to give the Zhong family dignity?

This kind of awakening was too embarrassing, Zhong Jie wanted to ask Wei Changfeng or Wei Gaochuan several times, but he had been a commoner for a long time, and the demeanor of everyone who was 'revealed' in the other party's behavior and speech made Zhong Jie, who had left his hometown for the first time, afraid to make a sound. It's just that his face immediately sank.

For Zhong Jie's resentment, Wei Changfeng and Deng Zongqi both saw it in their eyes, and smiled tacitly while others were not paying attention...... The Wei family did not invite the Zhong family, firstly, because of the different traditions of the Shishu since this dynasty, even if Zhong Xiaoyi was an upstart in the palace, it was far from worthy in the eyes of such a deep-rooted valve of the Wei family, so it was necessary to please the Zhong family - if the Wei family greeted Zhong Jie and the others diligently, it would be a joke and fall into the 'door' style of the Wei family;

However, Zhong Jie is really cooperative......

Wei Changfeng's heart sighed slightly, this Zhong Jie is so uncontrollable, even if he is not calculated on the road, when he arrives in the imperial capital, sooner or later he will cause trouble for Zhong Xiaoyi - the imperial capital is as noble as a cloud, how much can Zhong Xiaoyi, who has only been favored for a few months, protect Zhong Jie? If this Zhong Xiaoyi is a smart person and knows that his younger brother has 'sex', even if he thinks about his younger siblings, he will not be so worried...... It seems that the idea of 'getting' the family to the imperial capital was made by Concubine Deng Guifei.

Gu Yiran and the others also noticed Zhong Jie's annoyance, and they were a little stunned for a while, and only woke up after a while, Zhong Jie was young and poor, if it weren't for his sister, he would not have had a chance to leave Qingzhou in this life. There is nothing I don't know about the nobles in the world...... Of course, the Su clan in Qingzhou knew about it, but the children of the Su clan who helped Gu Yiran and his party find Zhong Jie this time were very polite, and this politeness was of course not only for the holy order, but also for the family of Gu Yiran and the four of them.

But this unannounced endorsement made Zhong Jie misunderstand, so he got carried away, thinking that with his sister's current status, even the Su family had to be pleased. As for the Wei family, which he hadn't heard much of before...... Why dare you snub them?

Although Gu Yiran and others were polite to Zhong Jie, they were just because of their tutoring style, and secondly, Zhong Xiaoyi was being favored, and they couldn't provoke her in trivial matters. Of course, it is impossible to say that Zhong Jie is truly respected, and now he realizes that Zhong Jie will be angry because the Wei family did not invite him, and after being stunned, it is all ridiculous - the old lady of the Wei family personally ordered Wei Changfeng, the grandson of the big house, to invite, if it weren't for Deng Zongqi saving Wei Changfeng's sister in front, even they would not have this treatment.

If it weren't for Deng Zongqi's favor, I'm afraid that Liu Xixun would be able to rely on the relationship with the prince of Jingping to be of the same clan, and when he took the initiative to visit the Jingping Mansion, he would not be closed to the 'door'.

Now a commoner who relied on his sister to be favored by chance and got the opportunity to go to Beijing will be angry because he is ignored by the Wei family...... Think about how many people from a prestigious family have 'wanted' to see the true work of "Zhushan Xiaoji" for hundreds of years, but there is no 'door' to ask for Wei's - Gu Yiran and others laughed and laughed, taking advantage of Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan's inattention, they reminded Zhong Jie and said: "Fengzhou Wei is one of the six valves in the sea, and it is the most important gift along with Qingzhou Su's. They didn't recognize Zhong Gongzi, so they didn't dare to take the liberty of inviting, and asked Zhong Gongzi to wait with Mrs. Zun and Miss Zhong at the inn. ”

It's just that Gu Yiran didn't know that Zhong Jie didn't understand the subtlety of the words of the famous 'men' disciples, and he didn't hear the true meaning of these words, so instead of stepping down on this step, he complained: "Since they don't recognize me, why don't you introduce them to me?" Don't they know that my eldest sister is a holy concubine? ”

"......" Gu Yiran coughed dryly and said, "Gongzi Zhong, Xiaoyi is only a palace concubine now, and the concubine is above the concubine. ”

He has nothing to do with Zhong Xiaoyi, and he and Queen Gu only have the same surname instead of a family, reminding him that this is also the most benevolent and righteous. It's just that Zhong Jie was shocked when he heard that he had caused trouble for Zhong Xiaoyi, but he was still 'confused' and said: "But the saint likes the eldest sister very much, doesn't he?" Otherwise, how could I let you come and pick us up to see the eldest sister in the imperial capital? ”

There are more people who have been liked by the saint, and there are even three princes in this dynasty - which of these three princes has not been praised and praised by the saint?

Gu Yiran saw that Zhong Jie was ignorant, and he didn't bother to continue to say more, so he only smiled perfunctorily: "Xiaoyi is naturally very interested, so the Holy Lord ordered me to go to Qingzhou to find you." ”

"Then you can tell this to the fifth prince of Wei." Zhong Jie said innocently, "It's not uncommon for me to go to the Wei family, but it's really rude for them to ignore us like this!" If there is no 'handover' generation for this matter, when I arrive in the imperial capital and see the eldest sister, I must tell the eldest sister. ”

There was already a faint threat in his words, Gu Yiran and his companions glanced at each other, and said with a wry smile: "There is an order in the saint, and the return date has been set, and I don't dare to delay too much." But the old lady of the Wei family asked her grandson to invite her, and she had to return the gift...... In this way, how about we leave someone to accompany you, go to the Wei family and continue on the road after telling you? ”

…… It's not that Gu Yiran really compromised Zhong Jie to the point where he immediately changed his promise to the Wei family after hearing a threat, but Duanmu Wuwu's hatred for Wei Changfeng was still unresolved, and he whispered to Gu Yiran before that he didn't want to go to the Wei family. The splendid Duanmu and the Fengzhou Wei 'door' are on par, and Duanmu is not uncommon to climb the 'door' of the Wei family. Gu Yiran thought that it would be just right for Duanmu to stay in the inn and guard the Zhong family, so as not to make any mistakes.

Although Zhong Jie was ignorant, Gu Yiran repeatedly refused to accept the words that Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan introduced to him, and he also ignorantly speculated that Gu Yiran was either unwilling to do this, or he did so, and the Wei family would not invite him, so he was angry, so he reminded: "Gu's 'waiter' guard has worked hard all the way, and we have also seen it in our eyes, and when we see the eldest sister in the future, we will explain the hard work of your 'waiter' guard along the way." ”

Gu Yiran has always had a good temper, and he knew that Zhong Jie was just a common boy in the countryside in the past, and he didn't know the world, so he thought that his sister could despise everyone below the royal family by doing a small ceremony, and he only felt funny when he heard his 'exposed' threat, but Duanmu Wuwu didn't have such a good temper, he said impatiently: "When you go back to the imperial capital, you can say whatever you want!" Now come with me to the inn! ”

He also told Gu Yiran, "You go early and come back early—let's go!" ”
