Begin your journey to the heavens from knowing or not

Xu Wenhui just finished paying homage,

Then I heard the concierge shout,

"Master Qi's house, Master Qi Heng has arrived!"

It turned out that Qi Heng walked in right after him and came up to worship!

But this time the two of them stopped greeting each other!
No one answered anyone anymore!

Although the Yuan family ranks last among the nobles, they are still a part of the nobles!

So most of the nobles will come to participate today!
However, because the deceased Yuan Wenchun was a member of the younger generation, those who came to pay homage to the Yuan family today are also the younger generation among the nobles!
Xu Wenhui came relatively late.
Just after leaving the front hall, I was led by the servants of the Yuan family to the lobby at the back.
I saw the noble disciples forming several circles and chatting!

Seeing Xu Wenhui come in,
Regardless of whether they were familiar with it or not, everyone stopped talking and held their hands in succession.
After all, Xu Wenhui is considered a prominent figure of the younger generation. No matter what they think in their hearts, these noble disciples are always polite on their faces.

"Brother Xu is here!"

"Bo Sheng is here, long time no see. You are the busy one among us!"

"Brother Xu, if I host you someday, you must come and reward me!"

"That's right, Brother Xu, you've been back for so long and you haven't even had a drink with me. That's not okay. We have to make up for it later!"

"Brother, Brother Chun's full moon wine will be held in two days. You must come over then! If you don't come, Wanping won't be able to spare me!"

Xu Wenhui walked in and exchanged greetings with everyone. When he saw that it was his second brother-in-law, Wu Zhen, the eldest son of the Jinghai Hou family, stopped.
He asked with some surprise:
"Oh? Is it almost Chun Ge's full moon? Don't worry, how can I, my uncle, not go to Chun Ge's full moon? Even if the office is busy, I will definitely be there!"

There were so many things going on these days that he almost forgot about the fact that his second sister’s child was almost one month old!

Wu Zhen has a steady personality, while Xu Wanping is smart and cute. Their two personalities complement each other very well, and they get along very well. It can be said that they are in love with each other and work together as brothers!
So Xu Wenhui, the uncle's attitude towards Wu Zhen is pretty good!
Wu Zhen was also happy when he heard Xu Wenhui's affirmative answer.
"Haha, thank you, brother. I can explain it when I get back now. If brother doesn't go by then, Wan Ping will definitely blame me!"

After chatting for a few words, Wu Zhen secretly winked and pulled Xu Wenhui aside.
He said in a low voice with some embarrassment:
"Brother, what's that? I have something to apologize to you first.
Well, Wanping is still in confinement, so I don’t dare to let her know about some of the things outside. This..."

Xu Wenhui understood what Wu Zhen meant as soon as he heard it. It was probably something rumored outside, and he was afraid that he would leak it later.

Xu Wenhui naturally wouldn't blame his brother-in-law for this. To put it bluntly, he was doing it for his sister's good!

He reached out and patted Wu Zhen on the shoulder.

"You did the right thing, no need to apologize. Don't worry, I know it well!"

"Thank you big brother!"

Wu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was really afraid that Xu Wenhui would blame him.

After putting this down, Wu Zhen thought about those rumors and said with some concern:
"Brother, is there something wrong here? Even if something happens in the house, it shouldn't be spread to everyone!"

This is Wu Zhen's normal thinking. Who among the major aristocratic families can have some private matters in their family, but it is rare to see such things spread!
It was not a good thing. Xu Wenhui didn’t want the Jinghai Marquis Mansion to get involved, so he waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It's not a big deal. There are a lot of new things in Bianjing City. We will change houses in two days. Don't worry! You don't have to worry about me now. Just take good care of Wanping, mother and son!"

Speaking of Wanping, Xu Wenhui couldn't help but think of his eldest sister Xu Wanrong, so he looked around, and when he didn't see his eldest brother-in-law Liang Xu, he asked:
"Where's Liang Xu? He hasn't come yet?"

Wu Zhen happened to know Liang Xu's whereabouts, so he said:
"Liang Xu is on duty today, so he may not come. The person from the Liang family is Liang Han!" Wu Zhen knew that the Liang family and the Xu family were closely related, and Liang Han was also Xu Wenhui's cousin. They knew each other very well, so he wanted to tell Liang Han. After pointing it out, Liang Han looked around and saw nothing, so he said curiously:
"Hey? Where's Liang Han? He was here just now! Why is he missing now?"

Xu Wenhui asked casually. Hearing that Liang Xu was not here, he didn't care much and said with a smile:

"I guess that kid went there to hang out, don't worry about him!"

At this time, Wu Zhen thought about what he heard about the old lady of the Xu family falling ill because of the rumors about the Xu family and the murder of Xu Wenpin.

Concerned:
"Brother, is grandma okay? I heard that her old man is bedridden because of this?"

Hearing Wu Zhen ask about his grandmother, Xu Wenhui's expression became slightly heavy, and he sighed:
"Grandma will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when she hears the bad news. But don't worry, she has improved a lot after the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment. However, she is old and her vitality has been somewhat damaged. She can only slowly recover!"

Wu Zhen nodded, thinking that he had brought something specially, and said quickly:
"By the way, brother, I specially brought some old wild ginseng from Liaodong to replenish her health. It's still on my carriage. When we leave later, I'll give it to you. It's also mine. A little bit of your thoughts!”

"Oh, that's right. Okay, I'll go get it when I leave later!"

Xu Wenhui didn't refuse. When it comes to Liaodong ginseng, who's better? That must be the Jinghaihou family!
Wu Zhen's father, the contemporary Marquis of Jinghai Wu Chen, was the admiral of Denglai Navy.

Stationed in the area of ​​today's Shandong Peninsula,
The Wu family is a special branch among the nobles, good at water fighting!

His subordinates have always been naval officers.
They just guard their own one-third of an acre of land and don't compete with others for power and profit. They are considered a powerful but relatively low-key family!
Relying on the navy, the Wu family occupies most of the sea trade in the Denglai area and Liaodong area!

There are countless ginseng skins and so on!
Speaking of this, Xu Wenhui thought of something and asked:
"By the way, is your father okay in Dengzhou? What are your plans in the future? Are you going to return to Dengzhou or find a position in the capital first?"

It is said that the men of the Wu family will serve in the Denglai Navy when they reach adulthood.
Wu Zhen had also been in Dengzhou before.
Later, I returned to Bianjing to get married! No movement at all now!
"Everything is fine with my father. The last time we corresponded, he was still fishing in the waves! As for me, I may still have to make arrangements with my father!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Zhen pondered for a moment and then said:
"Maybe I'll make a transition in Bianjing first. My grandmother is old and she can't adapt to life at the seaside. I have to take care of her on behalf of my father!" Xu Wenhui was a little surprised when he heard this. Wu Chen, Marquis of Jinghai, is here for the elderly. The legitimate son, his eldest brother died young, so it was Wu Chen’s turn to inherit the title!

Wu Chen's mother, the old lady of the Wu family, is indeed very old now, and she might die soon.

"I see, that's good! She's getting older, and it's really hard for her to move back and forth! Let her see Brother Chun more, and she'll be happier!"

Wu Zhen also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xu Wenhui's opinion and said:

"Grandma is very fond of Brother Chun and wants to come here several times a day. In order to prevent Grandma from being tired, Wanping and I moved Brother Chun to the side yard of Jifu Hall a few days ago!"

Jifutang is the courtyard of Wu Zhen's grandmother. In order to take care of the elderly, the couple moved to Jifutang out of filial piety!
Xu Wenhui nodded in appreciation! That girl Wanping didn't have any objections either. It seemed like that girl had really grown up!

Just talking,

Qi Heng walked in over there, and many people came up to greet him!
Wu Zhen also heard about the quarrel between Xu Wenhui and Qi Heng on the polo field, so he did not move like Xu Wenhui and stood still!
Looking at Qi Heng, Wu Zhen said:
"Now this Qi Yuanruo is very proud of himself and has unlimited glory. He is named on the gold list and is performing his duties in the academy!
Brother, have you heard that he was recently ranked as the King of Yong? Even Rong Feiyan of the Rong family never forgets him! Tsk tsk..."

Obviously, Wu Zhen somewhat disdains the Qi family's affairs!
Xu Wenhui knew the rumors about Qi Heng and Jiacheng County Lord!

But I haven't heard anything about Rong Feiyan and Qi Heng. Could it be possible that this matter can go back to its original point?

The drama of two women competing for one husband is going to be staged again. Doesn't that mean that this Rong Feiyan is really bad and the ending is the same?

Xu Wenhui asked curiously:
"Rong Feiyan from the Rong family also has a crush on Qi Heng? I've never heard of it! Where did you hear about it?"

Seeing that Xu Wenhui didn't know the news, Wu Zhen showed a somewhat complacent smile and whispered:
"Most people really don't know about this. That Rong Feiyan is on good terms with my Jinger.

It is said that Rong Feiyan has begged her sister Xiao Rongfei several times because of Qi Heng's matter! Concubine Rong couldn't resist her younger sister, and she invited Princess Pingning to the palace for many discussions, but the Qi family always blocked her! "Speaking of this, Wu Zhen shook his head and said with a sigh:
"I'm afraid that Princess Pingning, who prides herself on being of noble birth, looks down upon the family background of Little Concubine Rong! Speaking of the background of the Rong family, it's a bit worse. If Little Concubine Rong hadn't luckily entered the palace and received the favor, how would she be where she is now? Scenery!”

The Rong family was born as a mason, and it was only because of Little Concubine Rong's entry into the palace that they became famous!
According to today's terms, it is a nouveau riche. Although the nobles are polite to the Rong family on the surface, deep down they basically look down on the Rong family!
Thinking of this, Xu Wenhui finally understood why the matter of Rong Feiyan and Qi Heng had not been spread.

The Rong family also knows their family's origins, so they are very sensitive to public affairs. If there is no definite matter, it is probably not easy to publicize it, so as not to be embarrassed!
As for the Qi family, they naturally don’t dare to show off if they are caught in the middle!

Xu Wenhui nodded while thinking in his mind and said:
"I see, I don't want your Jinger to still be friends with Rong Feiyan! He is a kind-hearted child!"

Wu Jing is Wu Zhen's biological sister. Considering her family background and her sincere friendship with Rong Feiyan, it can be seen that Wu Jing is indeed a good person!

When Wu Zhen heard Xu Wenhui praising his sister, he also looked satisfied and said with a smile:
"Yes, my Jing'er is kind-hearted and can get along with anyone!

When Jing'er went to attend the gathering at Wei Guogong's house, Rong Feiyan also went there for some reason. Among the girls present, only my Jing'er truly treated Rong Feiyan! Over time, the relationship between the two is getting better and better! "

After chatting for a while,

I don’t know when, Gu Tingye and Liang Han also ran in,

Seeing Xu Wenhui here,

He came over naturally,
Obviously both of them knew the rumors about the Xu family.

As soon as he came up, he didn't bother to exchange greetings and asked Xu Wenhui about it.

"Bo Sheng, what's going on? How come your family's affairs are spreading all over the street! Is there someone causing trouble?"

"Yes, cousin, there's something wrong. Even when I go to Chunhua Building, I can hear people talking about it. Is there some bastard who got so bold that he dared to disturb Tai Sui? Cousin, you Tell who it is and I'll f**king skin him!"

Gu Tingye's suspicion is normal, after all, he is quite smart!
Xu Wenhui didn't expect that Liang Han could also see that this was not like this guy's style.
He couldn't help but look Liang Han up and down, and said suspiciously:

"Is your kid enlightened? You go to Chunhua Tower every day to have fun, and you can actually see someone causing trouble?"

When Gu Tingye and Wu Zhen heard what Xu Wenhui said, although they were still worried, they couldn't help looking at Liang Han and laughing!

Liang Han suddenly jumped up as if he was insulted, and looked at Xu Wenhui with a look of sorrow and anger,
"Cousin, how can you say that to me? I have been worried about you! You are so hurtful!"

"Okay, okay! I was wrong! I was wrong!" Xu Wenhui gave Liang Han a perfunctory look, then looked at the three of them and said with a smile:

"Haha, don't worry, Wu Zhen and I have just said that I have been on the battlefield for many years. This is nothing. They are just some clowns! Of course I can handle it! When I need your help, I will not be polite. of!"

Hearing what Xu Wenhui said, the three of them felt relieved.
In fact, Xu Wenhui has more resources and power than the three of them combined!
At this moment, I heard the concierge outside shouting:

"Prince Yong's Mansion, Prince Zhao Keng has arrived!"

The sound was very loud and could be heard clearly in the living room!
Everyone let out a strange sigh, obviously not expecting that the Crown Prince of Yong Palace would come to the Yuan family to express condolences!
That’s not to say that the vassal king cannot express condolences to his noble ministers.

But in order to prevent the vassal king from getting bigger, this dynasty deliberately restricted the vassal king's rights. Therefore, the vassal kings generally only abide by the rules and do not interact with nobles!

Even to express condolences, important people are generally not sent. Most of the time, it is the long history of the palace who comes forward, just to avoid suspicion!
This time, the Yong family actually sent the crown prince here directly. It seems that as the official family is getting older,
They are gradually unable to restrain these vassal kings, and it can be seen that the battle for the throne has reached a critical moment!

Wu Zhen's expression was a little solemn, and he had obviously thought of this.
Knowing that Xu Wenhui was in the court and better informed, he turned to look at Xu Wenhui and whispered:
"Brother, it's unusual for Prince Yong to be present in person! I heard that the voice of Prince Yong in the court is getting louder and louder. Could it be that the official family really prefers Prince Yong?" (End of Chapter)
