Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 220
Qin Wangfu held a banquet, and there were countless gift givers, but only a few people could enter the door.

Male and female guests are separated, male guests are in the front hall of the outer courtyard, and female guests are in the flower hall of the backyard.

The king of Qin has not yet married a wife, and it is the second aunt and cousin Shen Huaiyu of the king of Qin who help the king of Qin receive the female guests. Mrs. Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Ningyuan Hou Shizi also came to help early.

Regardless of the Holy Majesty's attitude towards the King of Qin, the three families of Zhen Guogong Mansion, Ningyuanhou Mansion, and Yongyihou Mansion are still somewhat different from Empress Shen and King Qin, Concubine Zhou and the Fourth Prince on the bright side.

The earlier love is there, and it would be the worst policy to treat everyone equally.

"Jin Ming, why did you come so late today? I heard that Mrs. Zhen Guo came to the Qin Palace early in the morning." The person who spoke was Qi Wenli, the second son of the Minister of Rites.

Qi Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is also a survivor of the former dynasty. Because of the east wind of the Zhou family, he was able to be a high-ranking official and a generous salary in the new dynasty.

Tang Jinming and Li Zhaoshan are classmates of the Imperial College, and they have a good relationship: "You also know that my mother and the empress have known each other since childhood. The king of Qin has not married a wife yet, so my mother just needs to come earlier to help entertain the female relatives. Today, the king of Qin is moving, and the empress can't let the empress know." Come out of the palace to receive him?"

Li Zhaoshan nodded: "Yes, I heard that Qin Wang's aunt and cousin are receiving the female relatives in the backyard."

"Well, it's the Shen family's cousin." Tang Jinming found a seat slightly off the beaten path and sat down, beckoning to Lu Yange, "Lu Yan, sit here."

Qi Wenli seemed to have just seen the person next to Tang Jinming, and asked Lu Yange with his finger, "Who is this person? I haven't seen him in Beijing before?"

On such an occasion, it is very rude to be pointed at by someone.

It was also Qi Wenli who dared to do this because he saw that Lu Yange's clothes were inconspicuous.

Lu Yange sat down calmly, ignoring the other party's rudeness.

Tang Jinming was a little displeased: "This is Lu Yan."

They neither introduced their identities nor their relationship. It was just a name, which made Qi Wenli a little puzzled.

Qi Wenli wanted to ask again: "Lu Yan? I don't know which company it is..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Song Yunfei striding over, raised his hand and patted Lu Yange's shoulder: "Why are you here?"

Lu Yange got up and saluted: "Brother Yunfei, is your injury better?"

Ever since Song Yunfei was injured on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yange has not seen Song Yunfei for more than a month now.

Seeing him wearing a brocade robe now, but with half of his arm empty, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Song Yunfei's arm was probably injured by Chen Xiaohu, and she couldn't get away with it.

"It's much better." As he said that, Song Yunfei sat down beside Lu Yangge, leaning on the back of the chair with one hand, and asked Tang Jinming, "Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to bring Xiaosi, and I'll go pick it up with you?"

Tang Jinming raised his hands and brewed three new cups of tea, one cup was passed to Lu Yange, and the other cup was passed to Song Yunfei: "Isn't it the same for you to pick me up? I don't care about your injuries, and I'm afraid that you will be tired."

Song Yunfei took the teacup, and asked with a calm expression, "Do you think that if I lose my arm, I will become a waste?"

He was asking Tang Jinming, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Yange.

"Nonsense again." Tang Jinming glanced at Qi Wenli, who was still standing aside, and said calmly, "The commanding officer of the Habayashi guards, a cripple of the fourth rank, are you laughing at my useless reading?"

The son of the Duke's Mansion and the Young Master of the Hou's Mansion quarreled, Qi Wenli stood still, feeling a little in the way, and moved aside calmly.

Seeing Qi Wenli go aside, Song Yunfei asked, "How did Qi Wenli get close to you?"

"I don't know." Tang Jinming also felt strange, "He asked me why I came so late when he came, and said that my mother arrived early in the morning. He also asked if the female family members in the backyard were entertained by Shen's aunt and cousin today."

"Tch." Song Yunfei laughed lowly, very disdainful, "I know why Qi Wenli said that."

Lu Yange didn't want to talk at first, but just listened quietly while hugging the teacup. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Song Yunfei held the teacup and played with it carefully: "Qi Wenli has just reached the crown, and this is to talk about a marriage among the upstarts of the dynasty. Years ago, he sniffed Mrs. Yongyi Hou's tone, and wanted to marry Yongyihou's mansion. Probably because he was Refused, I thought of my cousin Shen again."

"He looks like a dog, and he is the only one who matches the Shen family's cousin?" Tang Jin looked away from Qi Wenli, very annoyed, "The Shen family is the empress's Shen family, not just any cat or dog can cling to it."

"Although it is the empress's mother's house, the two uncles of the Shen family have gone. After all, the brothers of the Shen family are young, and it will take some years to support the Shen family."

Saying that, Song Yunfei slanted to Ni Landing and asked Lu Yange, "Xiao Si, are you right?"

Lu Yange said with a blank expression, "I'm still a child, how do I understand this?"

Song Yunfei was angry with Lu Yange in his heart, so he didn't say much, he just pointed in Qi Wenli's direction with his chin: "Just watch, the Qi family will definitely make some moves after King Qin's banquet is over."

Qi Wenli came here today because he really wanted to inquire about the girl from the Shen family.

Although Qi Wenli's father was a servant of the Ministry of Rites, he was a former court official, so he was worried that the family sage would use it.

The Qi family intends to marry the upstarts of the dynasty to prove their loyalty.

Mrs. Qi inquired and inquired, and found that there are many upstarts in Beijing, but the real valuable ones are the Zhen Guogong Mansion, Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and Yongyi Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong only gave birth to Tang Jinming, a son, and Zhen Guogong didn't even have a concubine, let alone a concubine, not even a concubine.

It is really a seedling in a thousand tilted fields.

The Qi family also has a daughter who is waiting for her in the boudoir, but she is a concubine, so naturally she dare not attach herself to the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

There are daughters in Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, but they are all born from concubines.

It is already wronged for her son to marry the daughters of these reckless families, Mrs. Qi will definitely not let her son be wronged enough to marry a concubine to ruin the family.

The Yongyi Hou's Mansion also has a daughter, Song Yunjiao, who was born on the same age, is said to be pretty good looking.

It's a pity that the Qi family has intentions, but Mrs. Yongyihou is unwilling. She only reasoned that the youngest daughter in the family is still young, and they will wait a few years before getting married.Song Yunjiao had just reached Ji, and Mrs. Yongyihou originally wanted to tell her daughter to the third prince, King Qin, but was stopped by Yongyihou, who said it was better to tell Tang Jinming, the son of Duke Zhen.

Although the third prince is a direct descendant, the emperor does not appoint a prince now, which shows that he is dissatisfied with King Qin.

Empress Shen and Concubine Zhou have always been at odds with each other. It would be fine if King Qin can inherit the great rule, but if the fourth prince inherits the great rule, I am afraid that King Qin will not end well.

The Tang family is different, Duke Zhen has only one son, Tang Jinming, and there are only two concubines in the house, and no children from concubines.

If the third prince ascends the throne in a hundred years from His Majesty, with the friendship between Mrs. Tang and Empress Shen, the Zhen Guo Mansion will only be improved to a higher level.Even if the four princes are the emperor, Lord Zhen Guo holds military power and is an important court official, the four princes must treat them kindly for the sake of the country and the community.

Because of the failure of the marriage in the Hou's House of Yongyi, Mrs. Qi picked and picked, and she fell in love with Empress Shen's natal family, a girl from the Shen family.

King Qin held a banquet today, only seven or eight households in Beijing received invitations, and the Qi family was not among them.

Qi Wenli had the audacity to sneak into Prince Qin's mansion just to take the opportunity to meet the girl from the Shen family.

It's a pity that the male and female guests in Prince Qin's mansion are separated, so even if he wanted to, he might not be able to see them.
