Chapter 309: The Cheng Family
The Cheng family was decorated with joy early in the morning, and a handsome greeting officer in new clothes stood at the gate, smiling and saluting the visiting guests, saying, "Hello Childe, Childe, please come inside." "Wait for a polite word.
There are some generous sons who will give him some silver rewards, which makes him smile and serve with enthusiasm.
The three sons of the Jin family were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and after each of them gave the welcoming officer a gold leaf reward, the welcoming officer was overjoyed, raised his voice and shouted: "The three sons of the Jin family are visiting, take care of them carefully!"
The voice came in from afar, and suddenly someone greeted him and greeted him outside.
The second Jin Ruotian looked back at the third Jin Zhifeng and smiled: "This Cheng family's etiquette is quite thoughtful, and when I see our Jin family visiting, I am really happy." ”
Jin Zhifeng smiled, his face full of pride: "That's, I don't look at what status our Jin family is, behind it is the Lingxiao Sect, the number one faction in southern Xinjiang, can the Cheng family not be enthusiastic......! When we go back, the three of us will give a grand gift, and the three young ladies of the Cheng family will marry the three of us directly, what is it better than!"
Jin Hongming heard that he didn't say anything, coughed, and said in a low voice: "Third child, be more restrained!" and then arched his hand to the guest envoy of the inner mansion who had an embarrassed expression, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, please lead the way inside!" As he spoke, he took out a gold leaf and handed it to the guest envoy of the inner mansion, which immediately made his face happy, and enthusiastically led the three of them inside.
Jin Hongming smiled slightly, turned around and looked at the others behind him intentionally or unintentionally, and a sense of pride could not be concealed. Let the sons behind them secretly shake their heads.
The Jin family made it clear that they were relying on their power to subdue other sons. Even if others are not convinced, they have to consider that if it is competition. Will it attract the suppression of the Jin family.
Suddenly, some sons whose family backgrounds were not so rich could only be more restrained and low-key, arched their hands to the welcoming officer, and after reporting their names and origins, they were introduced into the inner mansion one by one.
Among them, the black and white youths of Min Yuezong and Xiaoshan faction were only dressed in black robes and white robes, dressed extremely plainly, although they simply bowed their hands to the guest officer and reported their names, they behaved magnificently, and had an outstanding momentum.
Except for the two of them. Master Bai was too old and had gray hair, and when he was registering with the guest officer, he was given a second look, but there were many middle-aged and elderly men who came to watch the ceremony today, as long as they could report their identity and origin, the Cheng family was welcome, so the guest officer did not stop him, but politely let him in.
When it was the turn of the Xing family. The eldest prince of the Xing family smiled slightly at the welcoming officer: "I just came to watch the ceremony on behalf of the Xing family." As he spoke, he took out a few taels of silver and handed them to the welcoming officer, behaving in an unassuming and decent manner.
When the welcoming officer saw that he was the eldest son of the Xing family. Immediately extremely respectful, this is the only one who has won the Jin family in the power of today's visit, so he smiled at it. It was led in.
After the eldest prince of Xing, there were some ordinary young people of the Xing family, both internal and foreign. Those who were going to participate in the selection of sons-in-law also went in with them.
These people are about a dozen people. behaved respectfully and politely, not as flamboyant as the Jin family.
When it was Zhang Di's turn, he took the old donkey's head, and the two of them were dressed in simple green shirts, strode in front of the guest officer, arched his hand, and said simply: "******, this is my attendant Uncle Lu, and we are all guests of the Xing family." ”
As soon as the young guest officer heard that he was a guest of the Xing family, he immediately behaved very respectfully, registered the names and origins of the two of them, and handed them over to the guest officer of the inner mansion to guide them in.
Zhang Di followed behind the guest officer, coping with it without a match, and pretending to watch it casually.
Sweeping around, there are pavilions and rockeries everywhere, green trees and red flowers everywhere, and a path paved with pebbles stretches zigzag into the depths, only to feel as if you have arrived in a large view garden, the scenery is breathtaking, and the air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
This made Zhang Di nod secretly: "This Cheng family is quite elegant, and the owner should also be very tasteful." It's just that there are so many pavilions, and there are labyrinthine paths that turn around, and I wonder where my family is imprisoned?"
So he memorized the path by heart, and asked the young greeter about the news: "This friend, I don't know where to lead us?"
The guest officer smiled at Zhang Di: "Back to Wang Gongzi, our mother means that it is rare for so many young men to come to our Cheng family as guests, so she arranged for us to take you to visit more, and there is a house to rest when you are thirsty and tired." The official celebration begins tomorrow afternoon, when everyone can relax and unwind. ”
Zhang Di nodded, thinking that the Cheng family's arrangement must have a deep meaning, but I am afraid that it is not what it says on the surface.
"Huh?" Suddenly, he glanced at the paths and flowers, and something seemed wrong.
"What's the matter, Prince Wang?" asked the receptionist.
Zhang Di pointed to the flowers on the side and asked, "What kind of master designed the planting layout of these flowers?"
The guest officer straightened his chest when he heard this, and said with a smug face: "Hey! Wang Gongzi is really good eyesight, these flowers are ...... of our third miss" Suddenly he realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I mean our third miss also likes it, and I don't know who planted these flowers." ”
Zhang Di glanced at him with a smile, nodded, but said in his heart: "It seems that this third lady has studied Qimen gossip quite a lot, and if you don't understand this way, it is very easy to be trapped." However, for the masters who have studied the way of the formation, it is too simple. ”
It turned out that at a glance, he found that the arrangement of these flower paths was secretly in line with some kind of Qimen gossip, but unfortunately, in front of him, a formation master, there was no secret at all. Despite this, he began to take a slight interest in this third young lady.
Although Zhang Di held Cheng Ziming's letter in his hand, he could hand it over directly to Mrs. Cheng Jia, but because this place was quite secretive, he still pressed his mood and planned to understand the situation first, and then wait for the opportunity to deliver the letter.
......
Just when Zhang Di was wandering around, in a secret pavilion in the Cheng Mansion, the three ladies and three young ladies of the Cheng family were arguing over something.
I saw that one of the walls of the Secret Pavilion was a huge crystal, on which the situation in various parts of the Cheng Mansion was clearly displayed, and all the princes wandered around under the guidance of the welcoming officer, and even the sound of conversation was clearly transmitted.
The second lady is about 30 years old, wearing a goose yellow cheongsam, which sets off her charming figure with a concave and convex figure.
I saw her the orchid and pointed to the crystal, on which the appearance of the three sons of the Jin family appeared, and her voice was charming and crisp: "In my opinion! To choose a son-in-law, you have to choose a noble son like the Jin family, who has a head and a face, and has a generous hand." A woman's life is short in youth, what do she want to marry a man? Isn't she just trying to be comfortable and rich?
I also heard that the Jin family is backed by the Lingxiao Sect, a great sect of immortal cultivators, and the three sons of the Jin family are all immortal cultivators, we married Jia Yao, Linzhi and Qingqing, and our Cheng family will have a smooth sail from now on, and we are no longer afraid of being bullied by others. Maybe the Jin family can still guarantee us to go to the Great Yuan Dynasty in the south, away from the land of right and wrong in this Zhao country!" )
