Men's Petite Wife: Lord, Madam ran away again

Chapter 167 Banquet in Ji Mansion
All the people here are smart people, who originally held a wait-and-see attitude. Seeing General Ji like this, the wait-and-see attitude turned into agreement, and one by one began to follow General Ji's wishes, brewing up compliments.

"Thank you, General." Ji Zhaozhang bowed and sat down calmly.

An official asked seemingly casually: "Master Xiao Ji is young and promising, and has the same surname as Ji. I wonder if he is a relative of General Ji?"

General Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "He is He Ziji, so naturally he cannot be my relative, but I see that this young man is full of vigor, he is a rare good seedling, and when he is old, it is natural to see a good young man. Look happy."

"Look at what the general said, you are young and healthy, not old, not old at all."

"That's right, if you say you're old, what about the rest of us? Now when I look in the mirror every day, I can see the wrinkles on my face. It's not like General Ji, your face is rosy, and you look like you are in your thirties. young lad."

When these officials said compliments, the smile on General Ji's face remained undiminished, but his eyes were extremely clear.

Obviously, General Ji has heard this kind of talk a lot, so naturally he doesn't really take it to heart.

After letting the group of people whine a few words, General Ji said: "I called you here today, in fact, there is only one purpose. This Lord Xiao Ji has just arrived and is not very familiar with the various operations of the capital. When he officially After taking office, I hope you will take good care of him."

After hearing this, everyone present was unavoidably surprised.

It is already a great honor to be appreciated by the dignified general and invited to the banquet. The new Mr. Xiao Ji is actually supported by the general himself. How much honor is this?
Is it possible...

Many officials began to look at their familiar colleagues.

They all had the same thought in their hearts: Could it be that today's banquet was prepared for this season's adults?
Responding quickly, he quickly took over the words and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, General. Since you are a young man who even the General you have agreed with, we naturally believe it." He said and looked at Ji Zhaozhang: "Master Xiao Ji, If there is anything useful in the future, feel free to come to me.”

General Ji introduced: "This is the doctor of Guanglu Temple, Mr. Zhang Zhongzhi."

Ji Zhaozhang looked calm and respectful: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness."

Zhang Zhongzhi made a start, and the rest of the officials also surrendered, and General Ji introduced them to Ji Zhaozhang one by one.

Although Ji Zhaozhang doesn't like to flatter and cling to the powerful, it doesn't mean he doesn't know the world. General Ji is in the middle, and the scene quickly becomes one. He came from a small place, and he seemed to be a noble son who had been in the capital for several years and had a good status and bearing.

In this way, this group of officials also had a preliminary impression of Ji Zhaozhang—it was indeed good, no wonder he was able to catch the eyes of the dignified general!

Soon, more and more guests and officials came to the banquet. After everyone was present, everyone moved to the flower hall, and General Ji introduced Ji Zhaozhang to these people again.

If so, it was only the third day after arriving in the capital, and Ji Zhaozhang's reputation had already been completely established in the upper circles of the capital.

The men were talking loudly in the front hall, and the female family members in the backyard were not idle at the moment.

Because of Xie Jingliang, Ji Wanyi was really laughed at in the capital.

But the matter has come to this point, and the marriage contract between the two families cannot be annulled because of this, so after discussing with General Ji, the Meng family decided to take the initiative to attack.

Their old Xie family is not the kind of person who would shrink into a turtle shell and dare not come out if something happened.

The style of the Ji family is that as long as they have not done something wrong, the more fierce the outsiders say, the more their family members will hold their heads up high and above board!

Since everyone outside is waiting to see Ji's daughter's jokes, then they will take advantage of General Ji's opportunity to welcome Ji Zhaozhang to hold a banquet for everyone in the capital to see. Ji's daughter will not just because of such an idea If you break things, you dare not see people!
Therefore, in the backyard of the General's Mansion, the Meng family consciously handed over the right to host the banquet to Ji Wanyi.

During this period of time, because of Xie Jingliang's relationship, Ji Wanyi was depressed at home for a long time, Meng Shi suddenly asked her to take care of the banquet, Ji Wanyi could figure out her old mother's intentions with her fingers.

Although it is for my own good, but...in fact, it is not necessary at all.

Although she felt bad because of Xie Jingliang's matter, she didn't reach the point where she couldn't live because of changes in her marriage.

Even if the engagement between her and Xie Jingliang was cancelled, she was still Ji Wanyi.

Will be sad, but will still live a good life.

Ji Wanyi greeted the female relatives of various officials' families, while maintaining her self-restraint and watching them look at her expressions.

Look, these women in the back house are all curious about her, how can she fulfill their wish and let them see her sad and embarrassing side?
The marriage between her and Xie Jingliang, if she got it, it was a blessing, but if she didn't, it was fate.Nothing to worry about!
"Wanyi!" A voice behind him suddenly called out.

Ji Wanyi was very familiar with this voice, it was the voice of her former rival and now best friend, Zhao Zhen'er!
It’s also interesting to talk about my old mother. There was a banquet at home. Ji Wanyi thought that almost all the officials and their wives had been invited. If Zhao Zhen’er’s family didn’t invite them, it would be a bit shameful. After all, the two of them are already married. Shake hands and make peace, become friends.

But Meng Shi had a grudge against Zhao Zhen'er, so Ji Wanyi asked Meng Shi about her intentions before sending out the invitation.

Naturally, the Meng family didn't want Zhao Zhen'er to come, but thinking that her daughter was in a bad mood recently, and it was hard for her to say something once, she couldn't refuse, so she patiently agreed.

Ji Wanyi could clearly see that the moment Zhao Zhen'er called out her name, Meng Shi, who heard the voice and followed the sound, showed a look of disgust on her face.However, it was immediately covered up by Meng Shi.

Many female family members of officials and eunuchs in the capital knew the fact that Ji Wanyi and Zhao Zhener had been at loggerheads for many years. During this time, most of them only cared about gossip about Ji Wanyi's right and wrong, but they didn't know much about Zhao Zhener.

The fact that Zhao Zhen'er went to Xie's and Ji's to apologize that day has long been rumored, but no one knows the reason for it.

Therefore, everyone thought that asking Zhao Zhener to apologize to the Ji family would have only one result, that is, Zhao Zhener hated Ji Wanyi even more!

But looking at the current situation, it seems a bit wrong!
