16. The husband should be like this
Shaoxing Mansion City, as the capital and the palace where it is located, has been built several times, especially after Wang Gang was appointed as the prefect 40 years ago, it has developed by leaps and bounds.
The pattern of the city is reasonable, the construction is perfect, the rivers and streets are orderly, the stone bridges are exquisite, the houses are magnificent, the city is prosperous, and the water town city is full of interest.
The residence of King Rong, that is, the Shaoxing Children's Park in later generations, is located in the best part of the city, covering a wide area and beautiful buildings, showing the honor and favor of the Zhao official family to the only younger brother.
Today, the mansion is full of lights, jubilant, and the front of the palace is full of traffic, and there are constantly dignitaries and nobles coming to congratulate.
It's a little regrettable that King Rong has no children under his knees now, but he can't let King Rong come to greet the guests in person, so Wei Guansun, as a nephew, is very excited to take on this task.
In fact, he didn't have to do anything, the guests came, and the invitations and gift lists were naturally handled by the stewards, so he stood there to give people a return gift, saying that he was invited to come in and thanked him, but this messenger made him glorious.
This time is still a little early, and some of the people who come are not high-status, or they are related to the family, and there are not many people, and during the interval of the reception, Wei Guansun still has time to chat with a few friends.
"Brother Wei, I heard that your cousin was stopped outside the city yesterday, and it took a long time to call the city gate open, what a shame."
"Hahaha, it's not right for you to say that, King Zhong is famous for his generosity, how can he feel ashamed?"
"Hey, what kind of generosity, it's obviously sluggish and ignorant, hey, such a noble background, he is as mentally retarded as a child, and he makes people."
"It's just that he has a bad brain, but he has no virtue and no authority, and he can't even enter his own city gate, which means that he can't even control the courtiers, the army and the people, how can he still be in charge of the Great Song Dynasty?"
"Ahem!" Wei Guansun smiled and pretended to be serious, "Although what the brothers said is not wrong, I should be forgiving and open-minded, my cousin was born like this, it is not easy, let's not be demanding." ”
As soon as Wei Guansun said this, these disciples of the Yanei clan also realized that this was next to the gate of the palace, where people came and went, and what they said was easy to be heard and passed on, and it was still somewhat inappropriate, so they reined in one after another.
"Brother Wei is benevolent and righteous, quite the style of an ancient gentleman, the younger brother has been taught, we really shouldn't be demanding, anyway, the matter of the official family's re-election of the prince has been decided, and it will be okay for the loyal king to be an idle clan in the future."
"Yes, yes, a rich idler, our Great Song Dynasty can still afford it, hahaha, I heard that Brother Wei is also among the candidates for the prince, and the younger brother is here to congratulate him first."
"I see, the others are all local chickens and dogs in front of Brother Wei, Brother Wei will definitely stand out, Gou Fugui, don't forget each other."
"Oh, it's too early to say, it's too early, how can He De dare to peek into that heavy responsibility." Wei Guansun looked modest, but there was also a trace of excitement that he couldn't hide, "If the official family and the minister, as well as many important ministers and virtuous people, are really selected, then it must be for the sake of the country, and they don't dare to shirk for their own leisure, all the brothers are the pillars of talent, how can they rely on you when the time comes?" ”
These words made these young people present smile, and they became more and more courteous and flattering to Wei Guansun, and they were no longer so subtle when they wagged their tails, which made Wei Guansun more and more complacent, and there was a feeling that the world was in hand.
At this time, the street in front of the palace suddenly fell silent at first, and then the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, as if a big drum had been beaten on everyone's heart, and the solemn spirit of killing came to suppress it.
Everyone had the feeling of being pinched by the neck, and stared blankly in the direction from which the voice came.
The cavalry marched in strict formation, four horses in a row, occupying most of the streets, the war horses were tall and godlike, and the knights on horseback looked at the tiger, heroic and strong, and a strong sense of oppression surged out.
In the middle of the cavalry, forty or fifty people played a full set of princely honor guards, and the noise made people can't help but have an urge to worship.
Then the sight is a huge chariot pulled by five tall horses, graceful and luxurious, majestic and solemn, full of the spirit of a king.
After a while, someone finally came back to his senses at the gate of the palace, "This, this is King Zhong is here?" This battle is really terrifying. ”
"These Praetorian Guards seem to be very different from the past, murderous and awe-inspiring ......" The words were still with a trill.
"Tsk, this is power, even a stupid king, can be like this..."
Wei Guansun was shocked at first, and then gradually warmed up, "The eldest husband should be like this..."
This is really a bit taboo, but the people around him rolled their eyes at most, feeling that Wei Guansun was a little forgetful.
The team stopped in front of the palace, Zhao Mengqi led Zhao Yan out of the carriage, and everyone present, whether they wanted to or not, all bowed to each other, "Meet King Zhong." ”
Zhao Mengqi didn't make any response, and under the escort and guidance, he walked straight to the palace.
The previous battle still brought a lot of pressure to Wei Guansun, but now when he saw Zhao Mengqi's state, his heart immediately relaxed, this fool was still the same as before, stunned.
Shaking up his spirits, Wei Guansun took the initiative to step forward and said enthusiastically, "Hahaha, cousin, you are finally here, we have been waiting for a long time, and the journey has been smooth?" ”
Such a look of the master's family made Zhao Mengqi a little stunned, "Are you?" ”
"Haha, cousin, don't you even recognize me?"
Wei Guansun tried to step forward and pat Zhao Mengqi on the shoulder to show his brother's care and closeness, but Chang Geng stretched out his hand to stop him, "In front of Your Highness, you must not be rude!" ”
Chang Geng was already tall and strong, and his armor was even more powerful, which made Wei Guansun's heart sudden, and he didn't dare to make another time, his face sneered, "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, I miss it so much on weekdays, but I forgot the etiquette for a while, please forgive me, cousin, I'm your cousin Wei Guansun, don't you remember me?" When we were kids, we used to play together. ”
"Oh, Wei Guansun." Zhao Mengqi didn't have much expression on his face, and he didn't see courtesy.
Wei Guansun was extremely embarrassed in his heart, not only did the performance fail, but he was also despised, he felt that he had been greatly insulted, but he quickly suppressed the bad emotions in the city, as if nothing could happen, and looked at Zhao Yun again, and said with joy on his face, "Su Niang is also back, I haven't seen you for a while, and my cousin also listens to you, I brought you a lot of gifts this time, and I will send them to you when I turn around." ”
It's just that Zhao Yan didn't respond to him, just glanced at him timidly, and then shrank behind his brother, obviously not liking him.
touched a soft nail again, which made Wei Guansun's face stiffen, and he almost broke the defense, but he quickly reversed his mood, and he was very generous, "Su Niang is still so shy and shy, hahaha, cousin, you won't send someone to inform you in advance when you come, now I have to let you wait a while, I will let my uncle inform them to meet you." ”
According to feudal etiquette, Zhao Mengqi is now the only heir to the throne, so even his biological father King Rong has to be a minister in front of him, strictly speaking, he should indeed come to greet him, so what Wei Guansun said seems to be right.
But his self-proclaimed style made Zhao Mengqi very tired, "No need." ”
didn't say more, and led Zhao Yun straight into the door with an expressionless face.
Wei Guansun was stunned there, his face was blue and white, his teeth were about to be crushed, he was too deceitful, this fool was simply too deceitful, he actually ignored me so much! And that girl! Hum! Sooner or later!
"Why does this loyal king treat people so well? It doesn't seem to make sense of the world at all. ”
"No need to make a fuss, he's like this, after all, hehe......"
"It does look pretty stupid, and it's only fitting to replace his storage slot..."
"I'm really wronged Brother Wei, it's really embarrassing to face such a stupid brother, it's rare that Brother Wei still has such a good cultivation, I would have vomited blood earlier."
Zhao Mengqi couldn't hear these discussions, and he wouldn't care if he heard them, and after entering the palace, he didn't care about anything else, "Yan Niang, take me to my mother's yard." ”
"Okay, I haven't seen my mother for a few days, and I don't know how she's doing." Zhao Yan smiled with his eyebrows.
However, at this time, Huang Zhi reminded, "Ah Lang, even if you don't go to see King Rong and them, you should go to see the old lady first." ”
Zhao Mengqi was right when he thought about it, "Well, you are reasonable, then go to the old lady first." ”
Then the group went in the direction of Mrs. Quan's residence.
Naturally, someone in the palace reported the news of King Zhong's arrival, but King Rong waited for a long time and didn't see anyone, so he couldn't help but send someone to check again.
"The king, the prince went to the old lady." The next person returns.
When King Rong heard this, he didn't say anything, but Concubine Qian taught his subordinates, "What a big prince, King Zhong is now a prince, don't call him indiscriminately!" ”
Zhao Mengqi is the son of King Rong, yes, but it has been passed on to Zhao Guan's family, according to the etiquette law, Zhao Mengqi can only call King Rong Huang uncle or uncle now, but Zhao Song Dynasty's private title is the same as that of the people, they are more down-to-earth and seem more casual, so it is not a fault to still call Zhao Mengqi the eldest prince.
But Concubine Qian's intention, on the surface, is to strictly abide by the law of etiquette, but in fact, it is to clarify the relationship between Zhao Mengqi and Rong Wangfu.
When King Rong heard this, he provoked the original unhappiness in his heart, "Shut up! Shiro couldn't enter the city yesterday, did you make a fool of yourself!? ”
"The concubine doesn't know what the king means by this? He can't enter the city, what does it have to do with the concubine......"
"Humph! Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, originally, anyway, Shiro has already inherited the eldest brother's lineage, and I don't bother to worry about you on weekdays, but don't go too far, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about husband and wife! ”
King Rong is usually amiable, and today he is rarely angry.
It is really difficult for every family to read the scriptures, no matter whether they are rich or poor, it is difficult to avoid it.
…
In the courtyard of the old lady, Zhao Mengqi was greeting him.
In his memory, the image of the old lady is relatively vague, and he only knows that this old man is still very fond of his grandson, but Zhao Mengqi didn't remember much before he was six years old, and then he went to the palace, so there was even less contact.
So now he is simply following the etiquette, but there is no emotional fluctuation, and at the same time, in order to avoid more trouble, he naturally pretends to be stupid again.
Mrs. Quan was very happy to see her grandson, took his hand, and asked a lot of questions, but Zhao Mengqi just replied with some kindness and the like.
The old lady was also helpless, and when Zhao Mengqi revealed her intention to leave, she had to sigh and wave her hand.
During this period, she treated Zhao Yun's granddaughter as if she hadn't seen it at all, and Zhao Yun had always been very restrained, and she timidly saluted and hid behind her brother.
