"Just do whatever you originally planned to do for the banquet. Don't be extravagant and wasteful just because I'm coming." Xiao Junzhan said a few words, waved his hand and said, "Just leave if you have nothing to do."

Wei Ping and Shen Xing bowed and bowed before slowly retreating out. They didn't look at each other until they left the hall, with uncontrollable joy on their faces.

They kept silent in a very tacit understanding, and walked out of the palace together and went straight to the Jiaofang Department.

The imperial kiln was run by the imperial court. Even if you were more romantic, you would not be afraid of being debauched by the imperial censor. It was a good place for courtiers to relax and get together.

"Uncle Shi," while they were waiting for the dancer to perform her performance, Shen Xinggang said in a low voice when there were only two of them in the private room: "In your opinion, why does His Highness pay so much attention to the marriage of our children?"

"His Highness has his own motives for doing things. How can we figure it out?" Wei Ping's frowned brows unknowingly relaxed at some point. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "However, His Highness can personally attend the wedding of the Wei Mansion girl." Banquet, this really shows how much we value this marriage."

Wei Ping said it very politely, saying that it was because of the importance of the marriage between the two families, but in fact, in his heart, he had already attributed all the honor given by the prince to himself.

You know, it's the same wedding, and the Wei and Shen families will have a banquet at the same time three days later.

One family was having a royal wedding banquet, the other was a wedding banquet, but His Highness the Crown Prince made sure that it was his Wei Mansion that was going.

Isn't this a special trip to give him Wei Ping's face?

It seems that the wise and powerful Crown Prince finally found out that he had been an official for decades, had worked hard and achieved great results, and had real talents and hard work, so he specially encouraged him.

Not to mention being able to get married, Shen Xing and Wei Ping had the same view, and concluded that His Highness the Crown Prince's move was to show respect for the Wei Mansion, and also to send a signal to other courtiers and aristocratic families.

A signal that His Highness wants to promote the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

In the midst of a busy schedule, I made a special trip to attend the wedding banquet of a girl from the Marquis Palace. I'm afraid this was just the beginning of the promotion...

Thinking of this, Shen Xing picked up the wine on the table, smiled and raised his glass in toast: "Brother Shi has been serving as Youcheng of Shangshu Province for many years, right? He has always been prudent in handling errands and has never made any mistakes. His Highness must have kept it in mind, and it should be Mention it to him."

After Wei Ping heard this, he felt deeply in his heart. He was already in his sixties and still a military attache, and his energy had long since run out. If His Highness really wanted to promote the Wei family, the most likely way would be to give his eldest son, Wei Huan, a post.

The two families were in-laws, and they did not treat each other as outsiders. Wei Ping did not hide his joy at all, and only seriously warned: "It's good for you and me to know about this matter. Before it is implemented, we must not publicize it."

Shen Xinglian claimed yes, and he was very happy in his heart. His son married Wei Huan's legitimate daughter. It is naturally a good thing that his father-in-law has a good future?

………………

Changji Hall.

After the two veterans left, Xiao Junzhan reviewed the memorial for a while. After a while, he put down the pen in his hand and said softly: "Ning Hai, tell me, if I go to the Wei Mansion like this three days later, will Ran Ran be angry again? "

...how can I know.

Ning Hai no longer dared to guess the thoughts of the hot-tempered girl from the Wei family. He cursed in his heart and said with confusion on his face: "You are going to give the Zhongyong Hou Mansion a great deal of face. Miss Wei shouldn't be angry."

His voice became quieter as he spoke, obviously lacking confidence.

How could Xiao Junzhan not hear it? He thought for a long time and sighed: "What an enemy."

When did he act so forward and backward? After meeting Wei Hanzhang, Xiao Junzhan finally understood.

He obviously didn't think well, but he didn't even dare to see her, for fear of being scolded by her again for breaking into the girl's boudoir...

But that girl stayed at home every day and didn't go out, so it was hard for him to even meet her by chance. Xiao Junzhan was in a dilemma.

Ning Hai, who was standing beside him, knew that his master was very worried and lovesick these days, and wanted to share his worries, so he added, "Don't let the Wei family know your feelings for Miss Wei. I'm sure Miss Wei won't be upset."

Xiao Junzhan's expression softened a little, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "This is the only way."

For many days, it was rare to see his master look good. Ning Hai was really sad. His Royal Highness was so noble and wealthy, respected by all the people and convinced by the courtiers. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, would need such a plan if he wanted to meet his sweetheart?
  It is really……

An idea flashed in Ning Hai's mind, and he whispered: "Your Highness wants to see Miss Wei, why don't you go there quietly and don't let her find out? Then Miss Wei will naturally not be angry?"

To temporarily relieve the pain of lovesickness...

Xiao Junzhan paused, then turned his head and looked over: "What do you mean by this?"

………………

In the dead of night, the summer insects also stopped chirping, and the wooden door on the wall of the dark courtyard that had not been opened for some time was slowly pushed open.

As July approaches, the weather becomes increasingly sultry, and even the wind is hot. Tingfeng Pavilion has already used ice.

The girl's boudoir was on the second floor, and the lights were turned off early. Only two lanterns were lit under the eaves on the first floor.

Wei Hanzhang did not have the habit of asking his maids to keep vigil in the house. Luzhu and Lulan took turns to watch the night, and they slept on the cave outside in case the master occasionally got up at night and needed to serve.

There were also two maids on night duty guarding the first floor. They were leaning on the corridor and taking a nap. A dark shadow suddenly flashed under the not-so-bright lamp and tapped the back of their necks. The maids were already extremely sleepy. , and suddenly fell asleep.

The person on duty at the entrance of the corridor was instantly replaced by Ning Hai, the head chamberlain.

Xiao Junzhan slowly went up to the second floor. It was the first time he visited Xianggui at night. He was actually quite uneasy. He stood quietly outside the door for a long time. In the end, his thoughts got the better of him and he gently opened the door.

After many days, I stepped here again.

The room was filled with the girl's scent. Xiao Junzhan paused for a moment, then passed the maid in the outer room who had also been spotted in the sleeping hole and kept vigil, and walked toward the girl on the bed in the inner room.

…………

Early morning is the time of day during the summer season when the air is barely cool.

Today is the day when the sixth girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion gets married, and Wei Hanzhang got up early.

She rubbed her neck, which had been inexplicably sore in the past few days, and got up, letting the two maids come to help her dress up and wash herself.

In this era, girls who had not yet had hairpins had to wear their hair in double buns. Wei Hanzhang was usually lazy and would use hairpins to pull up his hair when he was not going out. He was rarely willing to comb his hair with two small buns in a regular manner.

But today there is a wedding banquet at home, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be here in person. Mrs. Liu, the Marquis, has given orders a few days ago that no mistakes can be made in the rules and etiquette of the whole house today. If anyone offends Tianyan, it will be the fault of the whole family. disaster.

Therefore, she had to comb her hair into two neat little buns today, which was a girl's hair style that did not reach hairpins.

It means she is still underage.
