Chapter 478: Forcing the King (1)
Although the return date of Zhendong Hou has not been determined, on December 16, the birthday of Zhendong Hou's wife Ye, the Zhendong Hou Mansion still presents a rare scene of a full of guests. This book comes from the time when the seals of the major yamen are imminent, and most of the men can't spare time, but most of the ladies and ladies at home are willing to join in the fun. First, the Hou Shizi and the second son of Zhendong are all descendants, and now they have not yet allowed anyone, even if some rumors come out, they are still the first choice for marriage; The second is that after the Marquis of Zhendong returns to the dynasty, it is difficult to say whether he will be promoted to the Duke of Jin, but most of them will be in charge of the Military Governor's Mansion, and they need to make good friends with the Marquis of Zhendong, who rarely has contact with each other on weekdays.
Therefore, although the birthday banquet is scheduled for noon, it can start early in the morning, and all kinds of carriages have been driven into the Zhendong Hou Mansion one after another, and in just one hour, the empty stable garage in the past is already eight points full, and there is an endless stream of people who come to congratulate the birthday and give gifts. In the end, Aunt Yun reported to Zhendonghou's wife Ye, and temporarily sealed an entire backstreet for parking carriages, which temporarily eliminated the dilemma of traffic jams in front of the door.
Xiao Lang, the prince of Zhendong Houshi, took a whole day off early to welcome guests at home, however, after all, dealing with people is what he is not good at on weekdays, and the guests always feel a little stunned when they look at his cold face. Fortunately, there was also the second brother Xiao Shuo on the side to help him, and after a wave of greetings, he welcomed him in, and everything was finally right.
Seeing that it was almost noon, some noble princes and wives were gradually arriving, and there were many wives and ladies of colleagues in the army, etc., how could he be afraid of being impatient and could only fight to deal with it, and the people were almost the same, he was about to go back to the study to squint for a while, only to see the old boss Fei Fei running in.
"The Prince...... The prince, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess outside...... and His Royal Highness the King of Jin are here! ”
The crown prince didn't come, but it was the princess who came, or did he come with King Jin? Hearing the report, Xiao Lang's face couldn't help but sink slightly, and he turned his head to look at his younger brother Xiao Shuo, and he whispered, "I'll leave the rest to you." I informed my mother first, and I was ready to go out, and if there was anything outside, I would let people in again. Take care of it a little more, and don't be careless. ”
Xiao Shuo saw Xiao Lang go down the steps and walk out, so he couldn't help but chase two steps forward, and blurted out a big brother. Seeing that Xiao Lang stopped all of a sudden, he was stunned, and it took a while before he spoke: "Big brother, be careful." ”
"It's not going to the battlefield again, making a fuss!"
said so in his mouth, but out of this courtyard gate, the corners of Xiao Lang's mouth still showed a slight smile. After the last incident, he was the least good at teaching his younger brother and took Xiao Shuo to the back garden and taught people a hard lesson in his own way, thinking that the two would have a gap between them, who knew that when he came back again a few days later, Xiao Shuo, who had always been a little nerdy, actually changed his situation. Although the cause is a bad thing, it is not bad to have such an outcome.
It stands to reason that whether it is the crown princess or the king of Jin, they have to open the door to greet them up and down, but the two nobles are not serious and drove the car to come, so Xiao Lang saluted in front of the door, saying that after his mother and others came out to greet him immediately, King Jin waved his hand and said that he didn't need to be busy, and the princess Liang also smiled and agreed, and immediately Xiao Lang accompanied the two to go in.
When I arrived at Yimen and met with everyone who went out to greet him, and then went to the middle hall where the banquet was held, after a meeting, I knew that I was not comfortable with the others, and the crown princess Liang just sat down for a while, left a few gifts and left, and the king of Jin was smiling and chanting after congratulating his birthday, so he used the excuse that he had something to say, so Xiao Lang invited people to the study.
"It is said that Xiao Shizi is heroic, but I didn't expect this word to be written tall and steep, and he has a lonely and upright atmosphere."
Seeing that as soon as King Jin came in, he was talking about the brave character hanging in it, Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows, and then said expressionlessly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment, it's just a few graffiti, it's not worth mentioning." His Royal Highness's calligraphy and painting attainments are truly extraordinary. ”
King Jin is most proud of his own articles and calligraphy and paintings, at this time when he heard Xiao Lang's words, even if it was not at all comparable to the flattery of others who usually showed no traces, but he was still extremely proud, and after sitting down, he talked to Xiao Lang about the return of Zhendong Hou. hinted at the reward of the Donghou of Zhendong for his Korean merits and the removal of the military capital from the military governor's mansion, he saw that although Xiao Lang was still silent, the hand on his knee trembled slightly, and he knew that these words must have moved the other party, and the smile on his face suddenly became brighter.
"Compared with the great achievements of Wei Guogong in the past, the great achievements of Zhendong Mansion are not inferior at all, and North Korea is occupied by the remnants of Chu Guogong at the beginning of the country, and now there is a new monarch in the country, and the original power is uprooted, which can be regarded as a big trouble in addition to the henchmen. Such a feat, compared with peace and Burma, is far superior. Therefore, the father and emperor have often praised the Marquis of Zhendong recently, and he must rely on it as a humerus after returning to the dynasty. Speaking of which, for the marriage of the son, the father and the emperor also mentioned it to the mother several times. Although the Ye family had already mentioned this matter, when he heard it from the mouth of King Jin at this time, Xiao Lang couldn't help but feel angry. However, his always cold expression finally covered up this anger, and he lowered his head and said lightly: "The emperor is too bothered. ”
King Jin knew Xiao Lang's temper and knew that if he talked about it further, he would add to the snake, so he turned to other things and chatted a few words, and then stood up. When he went out, he patted Xiao Lang's shoulder with a smile again, as if the two were already very close: "Although the eighth sister is only thirteen years old, she is very slim, if it really belongs to you, I don't know how many people will beat their chests." What's more, she is virtuous and virtuous, and she is the rarest among the royal family. When that happens, I'll call you brother-in-law. ”
After sending King Jin away, Xiao Lang's face immediately became gloomy. He almost kept walking straight inside, and collided with Mother Ye at the second gate. Mother Ye curtsied her knees, waved her hand to let the people around her retreat a little farther, and immediately took two steps forward and whispered: "Lord Shizi, the crown princess gave the two ends of Yun brocade, the two ends of Shu brocade, and two silver wine vessels. But the king of Jin sent ......"
"What did King Jin give?"
Hearing the anger and anger in Xiao Lang's words, Mother Ye sighed in her heart, and her voice was even lower: "In addition to the gold and silver table and the crane longevity map, there is also a sword. ”
If it is the Hou of Zhendong who does longevity, it is okay to send a sword, but the Ye family, a native of Zhendong Hou, sends a sword when he does longevity, and the meaning of this is very different. Thinking of this, Xiao Lang couldn't help but take a deep breath, his fists were squeezed together, and the old man sneered: "Let him be arrogant for a while!" I don't believe it, if I don't say yes......"
"Lord Shizi!"
Mother Ye saw that Xiao Lang was already so angry that her face turned red, and she couldn't help but mention it next to her. Seeing that the person took a deep breath several times, she slowly calmed down, and then she whispered again: "Mrs. already knows about this ceremony, and she showed it to the guests with a smile, so the master seems to have a number of them, so don't worry about it." In addition, after lunch, there are a few princes who came with their mothers, and the second son is taking care of them, so it's not good for you to stay out of the way, so you can sit with you for a while and then go back to the camp. ”
Although there was a lingering anger in his heart, Xiao Lang still followed Mother Ye to the middle hall as he said. Although the old ladies pulled him like a son-in-law and made him very uncomfortable, although those sycophants made him want to plug his ears, although the affectionate glances of those young ladies made his waistcoat have countless goosebumps, he still tried his best to endure it. When the lunch was over, he immediately retired, and was relieved by the cold wind.
This time he happened to bump into Aunt Yun, so he simply asked Aunt Yun to accompany him for a ride. Along the way, he first thanked Aunt Yun for being busy in the past few days, and then when he talked about the Jiang family who had not come today because he had not yet recovered from his body and Chen Lan, who was inconvenient to move around, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Fortunately, Aunt Jiang and sister-in-law didn't come together, not to mention the mental distress and effort on this occasion of the demons dancing around, and it was also a pure waste of time." ”
"Fortunately, the prince said this in front of me, and I don't know what will become if it is spread." Aunt Yun couldn't help but laugh, and then said in a low voice: "Don't look at the prince, they are all women's families, but many things in the capital often have women's families blowing pillow wind, so if the wives of the two families agree on something, go back and try to do it, and most of them will be able to have corresponding performances in the court." You are not used to it, but the daughter-in-law you will marry in the future will have to deal with it. ”
Then I'd rather go back to Nu'er Gandusi to fight!
Xiao Lang read a sentence silently in his heart, but he didn't say it in his mouth after all. When he got to the front hall and saw those sons of the family, he didn't say much, and his boredom and anger became even heavier. What made him even more unexpected was that the prince of Wuling Bo pulled him aside under the pretext of having a big event, and he intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the prince, among which the eight words repeatedly mentioned were that the son is more expensive than the mother, and the mother is more expensive than the son, and he repeatedly bragged to him about the beauty of his sister.
Although he didn't like these intrigues, he had also been immersed in Jiangnan and the capital for three years, and he understood the deep meaning of this just by thinking about it. If it weren't for the repeated admonition that he couldn't be impulsive, this experience this morning, coupled with these bastard words at this time, would have almost knocked the table up.
And the Zhendong Marquis Mrs. Ye, who was entertaining guests in the middle hall, naturally did not ignore the eldest son, although it was not clear what the King of Jin said and what the prince of Wuling Bo said, but Aunt Yun reported that Xiao Lang did not stay long in the front hall, so she went to the martial arts arena to practice martial arts, she sighed in her heart, and called Mother Ye to the front when she went to the clean room.
"Mirror Garden has just sent someone over. I originally thought about what to do with this candidate, but I thought that someone actually took the initiative to send it to Mrs. Yang. After you go out, tell those ladies and ladies that fireworks will be set off in the Donghou Mansion tonight, and let them stay until the evening. I think they are all willing to stammer, and I, the future Duchess of the Kingdom, will not refuse. ”
"Madame means ......"
Ye Shi sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "Order, it's time." ”
"But ma'am, if anything......
"If it goes on like this, don't say that Da Lang can't help it, even I can't hold it anymore! Quickly cut through the mess and break this stubble, and now this messy situation will change in the future! Ming Fang has already sent a letter, and it will be difficult to find the right time after tonight. ”
