Mrs. Jin clenched her hands, the backs of her hands turned white, and her fingers were bruised. With an angry look on his face, he said: "What a fox friend and dog friend, when your father was still there, he called him a brother." Your father has only been gone for more than ten years, and he has gone away. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the ancients really don't deceive me. ”

Thinking of when her husband was still there, the guests in their long room sat high and laughed, and Mrs. Jin felt more and more sad.

Immediately, as if she had lost all her strength, Mrs. Jin said, "That's it, it's just a loss of face." As long as Yuanxiong ascends to the heavenly realm as soon as possible, he can exhale and raise his eyebrows. ”

Li Yuanxiong nodded gloomily, and the mother and son looked at each other.

"Second brother, didn't we also invite a friend of the eldest brother?"

"Yuanba still has friends who would like to come?" said Madame Jin in surprise. Immediately, his heart was a little excited, and he thought: "Yuanba doesn't have many friends in the capital, but all of them are from extraordinary backgrounds. Those who dare to come at this time must be illustrious people. Is it the little grandfather of the Six Great Mansions, or the royal nobles?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell my mother. Li Yuanxiong thought of this and hurriedly said: "Before leaving, the eldest brother told me that he had a friend in Qidu City, and told me that if it involves major events such as marriage, I must invite him over. ”

After that, Li Yuanxiong told Mrs. Jin the original identity and origin of Zhang Ning, including that sentence, if there is something that can't be done, just go to Zhang Ning to do it.

Including the matter of the Three Immortals Tea.

Mrs. Jin was extremely moved when she heard this, and gasped and said, "That incomparably expensive Luming Mountain Three Immortal Tea, he actually gave you a whole catty?"

"Yes, Mother. Li Yuanxiong sounded now, still a little palpitating, and nodded heavily.

"That's really unfathomable, this person should be a strange person in Qi country. It's no wonder that at this juncture, you can still be invited to attend your grandfather's birthday. ”

Mrs. Jin exhaled slowly, and then said with relief: "Although Yuanba's bastard boy left willfully, he still cares about his mother and you in his heart, and left us this connection. ”

Thinking that my son has a strange person to be a friend and support their orphans and widows. Mrs. Jin came up with this breath and regained her spirit. After talking to his son and daughter, he went back to the room.

"By the way, you can share five taels of profit for your mother of these three immortal teas. Before leaving, Mrs. Jin remembered this incident and said with bright eyes.

Li Yuanxiong nodded and said, "I should have dedicated it to my mother, but I was too busy a few days ago, so I forgot about it." ”

............

On the first day of December, in the afternoon.

Zhang Ning changed into a good white robe, with a scarf on his head, a brocade belt around his waist, and a good jade pendant.

After getting dressed neatly, Zhang Ning stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at it, feeling satisfied. Only then did he walk out of his mansion and go to attend the birthday banquet of Ning Guogong.

Zhang Ning has an indifferent personality and doesn't care about dressing. In the past, a common man's brown clothes were enough. When I go to work, I am in prison uniform, and I walk in the rivers and lakes but in an ordinary brocade robe.

But this time is different after all, it is to go to my friend's grandfather's birthday party, of course, to clean up. Don't seek jewelry, attract eyes. Please also don't be too shabby and attract the light of your eyes.

Ordinary is enough.

When he left the mansion, he bumped into Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu saw Zhang Ning wearing a dog-like person, and her eyes were full of vigilance. The Liu family is an ordinary family, Xiuxiu can't recognize the value of Zhang Ning's outfit, but she also knows that it must be unusual.

Xiuxiu was nervous and vigilant, but pretended to ask casually: "Brother Zhang is dressed so well, is it a matchmaker looking for Brother Zhang to go on a blind date?"

But it has long been exposed. Because Xiuxiu has asked several times.

The neighbor's sons and daughters, childhood sweethearts, grew up together. Of course, Zhang Ning knows this girl's thoughts, and Zhang Ning also feels that if she wants to marry a wife in the future, Xiuxiu is also the first choice.

Zhang Ning touched Liu Xiuxiu's little head with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's really going to the birthday banquet, don't think about it." After that, Zhang Ning also grabbed Xiuxiu's little hand and patted it on the back of her hand.

Xiuxiu is an ordinary girl, her skin is pink and fair, but her hands are slightly rough because of labor, but Zhang Ning doesn't mind.

Liu Xiuxiu's cheeks blushed when she heard this, and she hurriedly pulled out her little hand, and the dead girl said stiffly: "How much do you think." After finishing speaking, Liu Xiuxiu turned around and went back to her house.

Zhang Ning smiled, thinking to herself, the girl's family is thin-skinned.

After the vignette, Zhang Ning took a step and headed towards the Ningguo Mansion. Zhang Ning's pace is steady, seemingly slow, but in fact fast.

Ordinary people only felt that in the blink of an eye, a figure disappeared in front of them. But Zhang Ning was afraid that his dress would disturb the neighbors and make some gossip, so he simply performed light skills and rode away.

After leaving Yiyang District, Zhang Ning estimated that no one would recognize him, so he walked towards the Ningguo Mansion with his usual steps.

Zhang Ning and Li Yuanba have a good relationship, but they have never been promoted to worship their mother, they have been to the Ningguo Mansion and have seen Li Yuanba's mother, Mrs. Jin, but he also knows the location of the Ningguo Mansion.

After arriving at the Ningguo Mansion, Zhang Ning saw the general situation of the city. I saw that outside the huge Ningguo Mansion, there were luxurious carriages and wealthy family slaves.

From time to time, dignitaries and dignitaries got out of the carriage, took out gilded invitations and entered the Guogong Mansion. Outside the Guogong Mansion, several stewards were entertaining.

The magnificent scenery is ten times stronger than that of the Badaomen at that time.

Zhang Ning is well-informed, of course, he is not timid. took out the gilded invitation card given by Li Yuanxiong and walked up.

The steward in front of the door was divided into several groups. There are long rooms, two rooms, three rooms, and Li Qianning's own in the Ningguo Mansion.

Receive their respective guests.

Li Qianning sent Chang Sheng, the chief butler in the mansion, who was more than forty years old, very mellow, and looked as if he was a Maitreya Buddha, who was exquisite.

"Dare to ask who the prince is?" Chang Sheng knew many dignitaries in the capital, but when he saw that Zhang Ning was unfamiliar, he personally stepped forward and asked.

Speak politely and make no mistakes.

"My surname is Zhang's name Ning, and I am a friend of Yuanba. Zhang Ning took out the gilded invitation and handed it over, Chang Sheng reached out to take the invitation, opened it and showed a little surprise, and then handed it to the steward of the long room.

"It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi. Chang Sheng said politely. And the steward of the long house had already come up, bowed to Zhang Ning and said, "Zhang Gongzi is here, our second son is thinking about you." ”

After that, the steward personally led Zhang Ning in. Zhang Ning didn't walk far, and a few words came from behind him.

"The guests began to come to the door after lunch, except for the Wuyang Hou family, this is the first guest in the long room, right? Although he is a friend of the eldest prince, he looks at his face and estimates that his background is not high. ”

"I guess this is also the last one, and it must be a stunned young man, because now the people of the Manqi Kingdom dare not lean towards the long room and offend our second room. ”

"Shut up. Eventually, it stopped with a triumphant cheer.

Zhang Ning's ear power is amazing, and he naturally hears it clearly, but he is thoughtful.

"You're the steward of the long house, right?
