Mo Yanliang

Chapter 154

Yan Fuqing's grandfather, Dai Qunli, was not very old, only a few years older than Taishi Xia.

He has worked in the Department of Construction and Repair of the Ministry of Industry for decades, and he is familiar with the design and construction of houses, and has a very good relationship with the best craftsmen in Fengguo.

After he resigned on the pretext of poor health, he sold a piece of vacant land in the west of the city, and turned the design he designed himself over the years into a real house.

The house is very spacious, but it is not as luxurious as the mansions of nobles in the capital. The style is very simple and elegant, and the most important thing is that it is very comfortable to live in.

Xia Huaixun had been invited several times before, but it was Xia Yueliang's first visit.

Mr. Dai has two sons and a daughter. The two sons are much older than Princess Dai of Xing'an, and the sons and daughters have already married.

Therefore, the Dai family now does not have any young men and women who are about the same age as Yan Fuqing, they are all children of a few years old.

In order to cater to the owner's taste, the father and daughter of the Xia family did not choose those gorgeous and spacious carriages in the mansion, but took an ordinary carriage, and the accompanying people did not even bring any servants except Shen Jing.

The eldest son Dai and his wife greeted the guests in person at the door. Seeing that the third daughter of the Xia family had really come, the eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Xia family followed the servants into the house, but Wang's smile did not diminish at all.

Dai Dalang tugged at her: "What's wrong with you today, I'm not afraid of being laughed at."

Wang said in a low voice: "Fortunately, you are still an uncle, and you can't even understand your nephew's mind."

"See what?" Dai Dalang sneered and said, "You are a woman, just live a good life, and stop worrying about what you have and what you don't have."

Wang shrugged: "Who doesn't want to live a better life? The son has been favored by His Majesty since he was a child. I don't believe he has no idea at all!"

If possible, she also wants to be an official wife who enjoys peace of mind.

But all the men in the Dai family are not motivated, so how can she feel at ease?

The father-in-law's health is obviously fine. After resigning from office, he hangs out with craftsmen all day long and builds a house at night. He can eat and sleep full of energy.

But he puts aside his good official position and doesn't care about the future of his children and grandchildren, he just wants to live his comfortable little life wholeheartedly.

In the past, when the prince was favored, King Xing'an had no chance at all, so she could only suppress all her unwillingness and be a good wife and mother.

The situation is different now, if the position of crown prince falls to King Xing'an, the younger sister will be the future empress of Feng Kingdom, and they will become real relatives of the emperor.

When the eldest son inherits the throne, the Dai family will be His Majesty's natal family. The scenery and glory are really intoxicating to think about.

Even if the man in the family does not make progress, her children and grandchildren will not worry about prosperity and wealth.

Dai Dalang wished he could cover her mouth.

"Keep your voice down! Is it possible for you and me to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts at will?"

After decades of being with this woman, he didn't realize that she was also ambitious.

It is true that the eldest son is favored, but he is His Majesty's grandson, not his son.

Just like King Xing'an, which emperor would dare to hand over thousands of miles of land to him?
This can be clearly seen from His Majesty's arrangement for his marriage back then.

My father was just a small official of the fourth rank. He had no power or power in the court, and he was not attached to any powerful ministers. He had honestly built a house for half his life.

The younger sister's appearance is excellent, but looking around the capital, there are not many noble girls with both talents and appearance?
But His Majesty chose her to be the third prince's concubine at birth, clearly because he wanted the third prince to live a mediocre life and didn't want her to be involved in fights.

It is true that the crown prince will not be able to become a prince now, but there are many people staring at that position, be careful not to eat the mutton, which will cause a commotion.

Wang still refused to accept it, and said angrily: "When did the concubine figure out the holy will, please don't label me indiscriminately!

I think the third girl of the Xia family is really good, and it would be even better if she becomes the imperial concubine in the future! "

Dai Dalang was too lazy to argue with her, so he snorted heavily.

Just like what Yan Fuqing said, Mr. Dai's birthday banquet today was not a big deal, but he just invited some close friends to his home for a gathering.

King Xing'an has always respected his father-in-law very much, and he arrived at Dai's house early with Princess Dai.

Except for their husband and wife, the other guests are basically old ministers who have a good relationship with Mr. Dai and are no longer serving in the court.

Xia Huaixun was an exception. Not only was he young, but he was also a hot celebrity around Fenghuang.

After Xia Yueliang congratulated Old Master Dai on his birthday, she and Shen Jing followed the maid who led the way to the back garden.

Yan Fuqing did not break his promise, and ordered someone to set up a banquet in the gazebo in the back garden. The dishes were also carefully selected, in fact, they were arranged according to Xia Yueliang's taste.

Yan Jingshen arrived a moment earlier than them, and was standing under a tree chatting with Yan Fu Qing.

Seeing Xia Yueliang and Shen Jing arrive, the two cousins ​​greeted them together.

Yan Fuqing didn't see Mo Qianli, so she asked curiously: "Junior Sister, Prince Mo is currently living in the Grand Master's Mansion, why didn't he come with you?"

Xia Yue sneered and said: "Who knows where he went, I didn't see him early in the morning."

Shen Jing also said with a smile: "Junior Brother Qianli likes to join in the fun the most, and I will definitely not be absent today."

Several people walked into the gazebo talking and laughing, and each found a place to sit down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Yan Fuqing and Shen Jing were talking, Yan Jingshen asked Xia Yueliang in a low voice: "Is there anything I can't talk about at your teahouse, and I have to come here?"

Xia Yueliang said: "Now that grandfather and eldest sister are at home, do you think I'm still the same as before, I can go out if I want?"

Yan Jingshen pulled his thin lips.

Devil Pepper is always right, but how does this place talk? !
Xia Yueliang wanted to laugh, and said in a smaller voice: "I will leave early later, you can find an excuse to follow."

After getting the letter, Yan Jingshen's eyes were full of smiles, and his whole person seemed to be in high spirits.

Yan Fuqing noticed his abnormality, and asked, "Cousin Jing Shen, what did you think of, and you are suddenly so happy?"

Yan Jingshen said: "I just think that Dai's house is really good. If I live alone in the future, I will also make the house look like this."

Yan Fuqing was very happy after hearing this, and chatted with him affectionately.

"My grandfather started designing this house decades ago, and it wasn't until after his old man resigned that he started building it.

But cousin Jing Shen is the emperor's uncle's son, how could he live alone in the future..."

Shen Jing leaned closer to Xia Yueliang: "That guy must be lying, it's clear that you just said something to him."

Xia Yueliang kicked his calf without hesitation.

This brat is simply a genius. If he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be an old fox again!
Shen Jing didn't dare to cry out in pain, so he could only grin.

This girl is too cruel!

But such a big reaction, doesn't it just mean that her dialogue with Jingshen is quite different from others?
