Volume 12 Chapter 2 Recruiting Relatives in Martial Arts (II)
"Don't dream, today is Bixia to recruit relatives, almost all the young talents in Wudu City are gathered in the imperial city, he brought his daughter, just to choose one of them to marry his daughter as soon as possible!"
Hong Lie was disappointed, and half of the whole person was suddenly gone, and the gangsters followed behind Hong Lie in a daze, unable to lift their spirits for anything.
Hong Yu looked in his eyes and sighed secretly in his heart. The matter of the eldest brother and Song Youran is a tragedy from beginning to end, and it is a tragedy that the culprit cannot be found. Everyone has done nothing wrong in their own position, even if Hong Yu is unreasonable and wants to find a punching bag, he can't do it.
Hong Shengri looked at Hong Lie, although he was distressed, but he felt that it was best for his grandson to abandon his illusions as soon as possible and live honestly with his daughter-in-law. He put his hands behind his back: "Let's go, come in with me." ”
Gonggong Dai waited beside the emperor, and several other eunuchs with slightly worse status were waiting at the south gate of the imperial city, and the eldest prince greeted the guests here on behalf of Emperor Wuzong.
Seeing Hong Shengri, the eldest prince was extremely enthusiastic, and quickly stepped forward and bowed: "General Hong, please come in quickly, my father has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Hong Shengri smiled: "Your Highness is polite, the old minister Kui doesn't dare to be, let's go in, Your Highness is busy, don't greet us." ”
The eldest prince still kept sending him in, and then he gave his hand, Hong Shengri passed, but Hong Yu was grabbed by the eldest prince, and asked in a low voice: "How are you preparing, are you sure?"
Hong Yu was actually good before he came, and he nodded confidently: "Don't worry, everything has me!"
The eldest prince has never seen him "affirm" like this, and he doesn't know weishenme, but he has a feeling of unsteadyness. He wanted to ask again, but Song Mojin had already walked over surrounded by a large group of officials, so he had to quickly say: "The happiness of my sister's life falls on you." Then hurriedly put on a smiling face to greet Song Mojin.
Hong Yu looked at Song Youran behind Song Leng's face, and turned to chase his grandfather.
As soon as he took two steps, a little eunuch came out from the side, grabbed him, and said softly: "Young Master Yu, you go slowly, the slave family can't keep up with you." "
Hong Yu shuddered and quickly shook off his hand.
The little eunuch smiled charmingly, and Hong Yu was surprised: "Mei...... Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
Mei Qianwu, who pretended to be a eunuch and sneaked out, changed her face and said angrily: "Is it okay for you to arrange it like this?"
Hong Yu patted his chest: "You can rest assured, everything has me!"
Mei Qianwu touched her smooth chin with two fingers and stared at Hong Yu: "I warn you, if you mess up, even if I get married, I won't let you go, I promise to announce to the outside world that you are my lover!"
Hong Yu shuddered: "Grandma, don't worry, do what I say, there is absolutely no problem!"
Mei Qianwu snorted and disappeared into the bushes. Hong Yu wiped a cold sweat and became uneasy, Yu Shao knew that Mei Qianwu was not joking just now, she really messed up, let Mei Qianwu marry someone she didn't want to marry, her old man would definitely play like this!
Hong Yu walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Hong Shengri, the old man Hong walked with his hands behind his back, and he didn't look at his grandson behind him, and his voice floated out faintly: "Is it Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Hong Yu didn't expect to be able to hide from a second-grade enlightened god, and said honestly: "Yes."
"
Hong Shengri's voice carried a hint of satisfaction: "Actually, you are quite suitable for Her Royal Highness the Princess." "Hong Yu shuddered, grandpa, you don't know anything, don't just tie the red line, okay? That woman is so terrifying, how can there be eighteen martial artists......
Hong Shengri looked at the eunuch who led the way in front of him, lagging behind, walking side by side with Hong Yu, and said in a low voice: "If you can marry His Royal Highness, maybe the relationship between our family and Bixia can be eased......"
Hong Yu saw the expectation in his grandfather's eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart. He still has a trace of illusion in his old man, and Hong Yu can also understand that a person like him, who has received a loyal and patriotic education since he was a child, is afraid that the most painful thing in his life is to bear a charge of bullying the monarch, right?
Hong Yu has a very sober understanding that with the temperament of Emperor Wuzong, he is definitely immortal with the Hong family. But grandpa always had such a hint of fantasy...... It's just too dangerous.
He looked at his grandfather's old eyes, which had a strong and enthusiastic light, but there was a softness in his heart, and he wanted to say no, but he didn't know how to speak......
Hong Shengri seemed to understand something, sighed secretly, stopped talking about this, and left first.
Outside the state banquet hall, there is the Imperial Garden Taiye Pool, if it is in summer, the lotus flowers in the Taiye Pond are in full bloom, the green leaves are in the sky, and the red flowers are dotted, and the beauty is boundless. Now in the depths of winter, none of these views are there. However, the open water still makes people feel comfortable.
Emperor Wuzong has not yet come, and the people sitting and waiting in the state banquet hall are also some fourth-grade and third-grade officials, and among the four heavenly pillars, Hong Shengri is the first to come.
Old Man Hong doesn't care about these things, and he won't deliberately come late. Song Mojin is a square person and doesn't like these small means. So the two came first. Hong Shengri sat down, and naturally some officials came up to talk, Hong Lie was still immersed in serious loss, bowing his head and not saying a word. Hong Yu looked around, there were many people here, he had seen them all the day Xiao Lanjiang had a treat. However, these people are obviously not very interested, and they know that the quota of the colt is not related to them. None of the real opponents came. Hong Yu scrutinized his jihua back and forth in his heart, and felt that he was sixty percent sure that he could solve this matter perfectly. He sighed secretly, he had too little information and insufficient preparation time, and it was not easy to be sixty percent sure
He raised his head and saw that his eldest brother Hong Lie picked up the wine glass in front of him without saying a word and dried it in one gulp.
Hong Yu didn't feel good in his heart, and patted his eldest brother on the shoulder: "Brother, you just admit it?"
Hong Lie turned his head to look at him, and there was already bloodshot in his eyes. Hong Lie stared at him for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed his brother's wrist hard, and said a little hideously: "Second brother, you tell me, if there is any way, no matter what it is, I am willing to do it! I have missed it once, and if I miss it again, I will really never have a chance in this life!"
Hong Yu smiled: "Big brother, Song Leng is in a hurry to marry his daughter, you can't let him marry." Hong Lie's eyes lit up: "You mean......" Hong Yu was in bad water: "I have a plan, come here with my ears!" The two brothers bit their ears for a while, and Hong Lie was a little worried: "It's not good to do this, right?"
"Then watch Song Leng face and marry his daughter smoothly. ”
"Okay, I'll do it!"
"You can make it clear to my future sister-in-law in advance. ”
Hong Lie thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
At the door of the state banquet hall, there was a commotion, and Song Leng came in with a cold face, found his place and sat down. The officials who had come in early hurriedly stepped forward and greeted them again and again.
Song Youran sat beside her father, her face was indifferent, and her eyes drifted to Hong Lie's side from time to time, and Hong Lie gave her a smile. Song Youran was a little relieved.
The four heavenly pillars have reached two, and the big and small families and officials have basically arrived. Then the princes and princesses came one after another, Gao Chenghong followed the second prince, and when he appeared, many ladies and ladies present had their eyes lit up, causing a small commotion. Gao Chenghong still wore his signature charming smile, behaved decently, and sat down peacefully.
And Baili Shengshi and He Chong were two zuihou present.
Baili Shengshi took his son Baili Mad Demon, the latter saw Hong Yu present, and immediately looked at him angrily, Hong Yu went to respond to give him a happy smile, and the angry Baili Mad Demon turned his head and ignored him.
He Chong followed his father calmly, as if there were people around, what happened, or what he was about to fight for had nothing to do with him.
Hong Yu seemed to take the opportunity to ridicule him a few words, but He Chong was far away from him intentionally or unintentionally, and Young Master Yu didn't find a chance.
Everyone has arrived, and at this time, they should have waited for Bixia to arrive, but everyone talked about it and was very uneven. Because the envoy of Canglan Xiao Lanjiang has not yet arrived.
The eunuch at the door sang with a sharp voice: "Xiao Envoy see!"
Xiao Lanjiang was dressed in a heroic warrior robe, and walked in with a tiger's step, taking the lead and being high-spirited.
Many of you here saw Xiao Lanjiang for the first time, Rao is that they have been in the officialdom of Daxia for many years, and when they saw Xiao Lanjiang for the first time, they couldn't help but secretly praise a good talent!
Xiao Lanjiang glanced around at everyone, satisfied with everyone's reaction. He ignored anyone and walked straight to the princesses' place. Several older princesses pursed their lips and smiled, and gently stepped out of the way, revealing Her Royal Highness Mei Qianwu who was sitting in front of Zuihou.
Mei Qianwu deliberately dressed up today, wearing a gorgeous red dress with rich golden patterns. The clouds are raised on her temples, and there are jade jewels inserted in her cloud-like green silk hair, which makes her fair and perfect face even more beautiful and moving.
Xiao Lanjiang bowed: "Your Royal Highness the beautiful princess, I hope I am fortunate to be your knight, and I will use my life to protect you loyally." ”
Mei Qianwu was a little careless: "There are a lot of people who say this, most of them are exaggerated, I hope you have some strength." Although she said "hope", whether it was her tone or demeanor, she obviously didn't really value Xiao Lanjiang at all. This kind of neglectful demeanor, Mei Qianwu has no experience in "performing". But she didn't have much interest in Xiao Lanjiang herself, so she left with her "true color performance".
Xiao Lanjiang retreated silently, still maintaining his demeanor in front of Mei Qianwu, but after turning around, a trace of fierceness flashed on his face.
Hong Yu smiled in his heart, Jihua's first step was successful. Maybe Mei Qianwu's contempt was not enough to make Xiao Lanjiang lose his mind, but at least he had planted a nail in his heart.
