The door was just opened, and Wen Zhong and his wife were about to come in, when they raised their eyes and saw Huo Shi standing at the door, they were stunned.

Huo Shi also realized that he was too eager, and opened his mouth to round it up, "Why are you here?" I thought ......"

"The eldest lady let us in."

Wen Zhong interrupted her.

Last time, their mother and son performed such a play at the door, and most of the people in the capital knew that the eldest lady did not allow Wen Zhong to come to the door, and they all speculated that it was because Xu Qingwan came back, and the Meng family had the confidence to deal with the Huo family.

Mrs. Wen Zhong saluted meekly, "I've seen my mother-in-law." ”

Although they live outside, they used to come back with their two children every ten days and half a month, one is to see Huo's, and the other is to let Mr. Big guide the two children. This time, because the eldest lady was not allowed to enter the door, he did not come for nearly a month.

"Come in, your father is sick."

Wen Zhong quickly glanced at Huo Shi when he heard this, Huo Shi also happened to look at him, mother and son looked at each other, and Wen Zhong immediately knew that Mr. Big's illness was unusual.

Wen Zhong walked briskly to the bedside. Mr. Big was lying on the bed, his breath was faint, and his face was flushed.

"Your father hasn't slept well these days, and he often stays in the study for most of the night, and accidentally falls ill. I asked the doctor to see it, and said that it was a cold and worry, and I just drank the medicine and fell asleep, and I couldn't even accompany the guests today. ”

Wen Zhong nodded and lowered his voice, "Let's go to the living room to talk." ”

The three of them moved to the living room, and before they could sit down, Wen Zhong said to his wife again, "The eldest lady is estranged from me and doesn't want to see me." You are different, after all, you are a nominal daughter-in-law, you go over and ask, what do you need help? ”

After all, she is the second daughter of Hubu Shangshu, and Meng has to give face.

After Mrs. Wen Zhong took the maid away, without waiting for Wen Zhong to ask, Huo Shi told the old man about letting Mr. Big pretend to be sick.

"Now the whole house has guessed that the events of the year have something to do with us, Zhong'er, what should we do?"

"Mother, don't be impatient."

Wen Zhong had already guessed that there would be today, but so what? Without evidence, they didn't dare to make a move, "Xu Qingwan is married after all, it is impossible to live in the capital all the time, as long as we are calm, they will be helpless to take us." ”

"But ......"

Huo's memory of Wen and Xu Ling'er, that is her real relatives, especially Xu Ling'er, not only did she not marry her favorite Song Si, but even Sun Jin, who took a step back and chose to abandon her, alas, I don't know how to cry yet?

"Mother, don't worry, everything has me, you just need to remember what I said, An'an will be divided, after a long time, they will have no choice."

Huo Shi has always listened to this son's words, and nodded violently when he heard the words, "I know, I remember." ”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Mrs. Wen Zhong came back with a not very good face.

When Wen Zhong saw it, he guessed that Meng Shi didn't see her, and comforted, "The eldest lady is angry in her heart, and it is reasonable not to see you, I am the one who has caused you." ”

Mrs. Wen Zhong's face softened, although she was the second daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, she was also raised by others, and she really did not suffer such grievances, but Wen Zhong's words warmed her heart, and she said softly, "I'm fine." ”

Wen Zhong got up, "Then let's go to the banquet first." ”

Mrs. Wen Zhong nodded, and after saluting the Huo family, she followed him over.

Today there are many guests, and men and women are separated.

Wen Zhong went over and sat down, and several people at the table greeted each other, Wen Zhong was only thirty years old, and he had already done the position of the head of the household, and his father-in-law was the head of the household, and his future was limitless.

Another guest was welcomed in, it was Qi Guogong, he was supposed to go to the adjacent table, but as soon as his footsteps turned around, everyone got up to greet him, and Wen Zhong also got up.

Qi Guogong's eyes fell on Wen Zhong, "Wen Shilang, long time no see." ”

Today's seats are arranged according to official positions, and the official position that can sit with Wen Zhong is naturally not low, and the eyesight is not low, seeing that Qi Guogong greeted Wen Zhong alone, he knew that they had something to say, so they all found an excuse to go to another table to greet someone they knew.

In the blink of an eye, only Qi Guogong and Wen Zhong were left here.

Qi Guogong sat down, and Wen Zhong also sat down after saluting.

"Grandpa Guo has something to say, please say."

Qi Guo openly saw the mountain, "I have a distant relative, named Zheng Qian, who is the tenth in this palace examination, and he is also a malleable talent, he is eighteen this year, and he is not yet married, I want to ask for him to marry Wen Shilang's niece." ”

This is a decision made by Qi Guogong and Aunt Zhang after discussing many geniuses, Zheng Qian's identity is not prominent, if you choose a young lady with a head and face in the capital, people may not be willing, Xu Ling'er has a special identity, she can't say that good people can't say it, and she can't look down on Lai, with Zheng Qian, the most important thing is that Xu Ling'er has the Xu family behind her, and Wen Zhong's uncle is in the household department, this family business is really going to be, the reputation of the Xu family is Zheng Qian's help, and when Zheng Qian enters the household department, Wen Zhong will definitely promote him.

It's just that the situation in the Xu Mansion is complicated now, the Huo family is not at home, the Meng family will not handle Xu Ling'er's affairs, Li An has not been in the city, and the Duke of Qi can only propose marriage to Wen Zhong at this time today.

Since the Duke of Qi personally helped to ask for marriage, the relationship with this relative should be extraordinary, and if Ling'er marries Zheng Qian, they can also be regarded as climbing to the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Wen Zhong turned these things in his mind for a moment, but said on his lips, "Ling'er's family affairs are in charge of his parents, since Grandpa Guo has this intention, I will ask my sister and brother-in-law when I go back, if they agree, I will send someone to reply to Grandpa Guo." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for news from Wen Shilang."

Qi Guogong got up and went to his desk. The other people who went to greet their acquaintances came back one after another, and they all looked at Wen Zhong with envy, being able to have a relationship with the Duke of Qi State, no matter how many people asked for it, Wen Shilang's future will be brighter in the future.

……

Xiao Si found Gu Yi and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gu Yi quickly walked into the house and pulled Song Wanyue out, "Uncle has arrived, on the other side of Nancheng, he said to let you go over, don't let your aunt know." ”

"Let's go."

The two walked out, and when they walked to the gate, Song Wanyue said to Xu Bo, who was guarding the door, "Let's go out for a while, if my mother looks for us, you will say that we will come back soon." ”

Xu Bole responded hehehehe, and instructed, "But if you really come back quickly, the banquet will start in half an hour." ”

Song Wanyue responded, got into the carriage with Gu Yi, and quickly returned to Nancheng.

"Daddy."

Song Lin was walking around the yard when he heard the shouting and turned back eagerly, "Yue'er, you're back, what do you say Dad should do?" ”

After hearing that the person sent back by Gu Yi said that the Xu family was the daughter of the Great Confucian, he was stunned, and he still hadn't come back to his senses.

"What to do, of course, it's to go to the door to recognize your relatives."
