Chapter 422: Stand Up and Say

Wei Yan thought that Wei Yingchen said that the fireworks show lasted for a few hours at most, but she didn't expect it to last all night.

If it was so loud just to catch the wind for her, how grand should my grandfather's birthday banquet be?

Wei Yan knew that the Wei family was the richest man in Zhaoling, and some of them were rich, but they were still shocked by Wei Yingchen's handwriting.

Because of the fireworks this night, Wei Yan's name spread all over the nobles of Hanjing.

Everyone knows that the only daughter of the Wei family in the third room returned to Hanjing and became the favorite baby of the Wei family, and there were countless posts sent to the Wei family at one time.

Ruan Shi sifted through it, took two posts to Wei Yan, and said softly: "The wife of the prince of Yong'an Hou is the only daughter of the official department and the sister-in-law of Xiang Ling, and her birthday banquet will be attended by the nobles of the family in Hanjing, you can go and play with Xiang Ling." ”

"Then what kind of congratulatory gift should I prepare?"

Li Xiangling gave Wei Yan a very expensive meeting gift, and Wei Yan wanted to go back to her parents' house with her to attend her sister-in-law's birthday banquet, and the gift could not be given lightly.

It's just that Wei Yan hasn't seen the lady of the prince and doesn't know her preferences.

Wei Yan was a little entangled, but heard Ruan Shi say: "I have already prepared the gift, you don't have to worry, I will ask the tailor to measure your size later, and then make you a few new sets of clothes." ”

"Before I left, my mother asked her to make me a lot of new clothes, I just picked one to wear, and my aunt didn't have to bother."

Mrs. Wei only has one daughter, Wei Yan, and she has to make a lot of clothes for her every year, and this time it is even more grand, filled with two large boxes, although Yizhou is not as prosperous as Hanjing, those clothes are still very beautiful.

Wei Yan's eyes were clear, her expression was even more firm and calm, she was not nervous, and she had no ambition to be in the limelight at the banquet, Ruan Shi smiled and said: "Okay, then come according to your own liking, if there is anything you are not sure about, you can ask your sister-in-law Xiangling." ”

Wei Yan responded obediently, and Ruan Shi took another post and said: "Jing'an Hou Mansion is Jiang Shizi's father-in-law's family, you have helped Jiang Shizi a lot this time, you can go to see the promotion banquet of Jing'an Hou Shizi, and it can be regarded as returning his favor." ”

"Okay."

The promotion banquet of the prince of Jing'an Hou was just three days later, and the Ruan family also asked people to prepare congratulatory gifts, and Wei Yan just followed Wei Yingchen and Li Xiangling directly.

Hanjing has more rules than Yizhou, men and women are seated, and after writing the ceremony, Li Xiangling took Wei Yan to the garden.

They didn't come early, and there were a lot of people sitting in the garden, but Li Xiangling had a high status, and as soon as she arrived, many people got up to greet her.

"My sister is here, everyone is waiting for you."

Walking in the front is Liu Ruxue, as soon as she came over, she took Li Xiangling's hand, and the relationship between the two looked very close.

"This is Jiang Shizi's wife."

Li Xiangling introduced Wei Yan in a low voice, and Wei Yan immediately spoke: "Yan'er has seen Madame." ”

Liu Ruxue looked at Wei Yan carefully for a while, and then took off the bracelet on her hand and put it on Wei Yan's hand: "Sister Yan'er is so good-looking, no wonder the people of the Wei family like you so much, if only I had such a sister." ”

Liu Ruxue doesn't take Qiao, according to her seniority, Wei Yan can also call her a third sister-in-law.

The bracelet was in excellent condition, with residual warmth, Wei Yan wanted to excuse herself, but Liu Ruxue held her hand strongly: "I heard Yao'an say that Miss Wei has taken good care of her all the way, her father and mother are not in Beijing, and I, as an aunt, did not take good care of her, so I should make amends." ”

"Madame's words are serious, I was able to arrive smoothly thanks to the prince of the world, I should thank Madame."

"Okay," Li Xiangling interrupted the two, motioned for Wei Yan to accept the bracelet, and said with a smile, "Yan'er is so big, the first time she came to Hanjing, her grandfather and grandmother liked her very much, I want to keep her in Beijing for a while longer, there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, don't push around here." ”

And so it is.

Liu Ruxue brought the two to Mrs. Jing'anhou and beckoned the others to go.

Wei Yan didn't know anyone, so she didn't interject easily, and obediently listened to Li Xiangling chatting with others.

Li Xiangling kept smiling on his face, and the atmosphere seemed to be lively and harmonious, but in fact, there was an undercurrent.

Wei Yan listened for a while before realizing that today's promotion banquet was not simple.

Jiang Yunhua was suspended, and he was appointed as a general. Jun Jiang Yunyang was also recalled by His Majesty from Yuexi, although everyone did not say it explicitly, they were alluding to the fact that the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion was about to fall out of favor.

Jiang Yunhua has been doing things too vigorously and resolutely in Dali Temple over the years, which has offended many people, these people dare not go against Jiang Yunhua openly, and they are all looking forward to Jiang Yunhua one day angering Long Yan and being unlucky.

Li Xiangling is the sister of the current Queen Mother and the aunt of the new emperor, she came to participate in this promotion banquet, which can be regarded as supporting Liu Ruxue in disguise and fighting for the face of the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion.

But she is also just a woman, and she cannot represent the idea of the new emperor.

Everyone turned around to probe Li Xiangling's tone, wanting to know more inside information, Li Xiangling's answer was not leaky, and everyone felt bored, so they had to point the finger at Liu Ruxue.

"Didn't Your Majesty feel sorry for Jiang Shizi for working too hard, let Jiang Shizi rest for some time, why didn't you see him come today?".

Jiang Yunhua only has Liu Ruxue as a wife, and she has not taken a concubine for many years, the Yin family is also very good to Liu Ruxue, Liu Ruxue is still very faceable in front of these family ladies, but Jiang Yunhua rarely accompanies her back to her parents' house, and even attends banquets with her only a handful.

Liu Ruxue has long been accustomed to such a scene, and responded with a smile: "My husband and eldest brother have a deep relationship, and I brought back a lot of my eldest brother's relics from Yizhou this time, and I want to accompany my parents-in-law more at home." ”

King Pingxi made great achievements for Zhaoling, and the new emperor ordered the whole country to mourn together, and Jiang Yunqiu, who was a younger brother, should mourn him for some more time.

This is also a disguised explanation, Jiang Yunhua was suspended not because of anything else, but because of the death of his eldest brother, who was too sad and needed to take a good rest.

After Liu Ruxue finished speaking, another voice in the crowd said: "I heard that Jiang Shizi not only brought back the relics of King Pingxi from Yizhou this time, but also brought back a little girl, we all know that Jiang Shizi is cold by nature, how could he suddenly be willing to take a little girl?" ”

Jiang Yunhua is not yet forty years old, and he is in the prime of life, and it is normal to like a little girl at this age, and it is normal to take a concubine or something.

After the man finished speaking, everyone's eyes became sympathetic when they looked at Liu Ruxue.

Wei Yan, as a party concerned, was not calm when she heard this.

What is this?

Wei Yan wanted to refute, but Li Xiangling spoke before her: "Jiang Shizi is my husband's cousin, my grandfather's birthday is approaching, and I specially asked Jiang Shizi to take her back to Beijing to celebrate her birthday, and there are also Ding Qianjun with her. Jiang Yao'an, the daughter of the army, if there is anything wrong with you, you may as well stand up and say it! ”
