According to the situation of the country
Chapter 142
It is true that Mei Huan is Mei Ni's nephew, but Mei Huan's father married the princess of Zhou State. He grew up in Zhou State and rarely returned to Mo State.After he grew up, he went to Mo Country to live with his uncle in Meizhuang for several years. He didn't like Zhou Emperor's way of governing the country.His talent and reputation have always been very popular in the state of Zhou, and he is from a wealthy family, but he has always just smiled and said nothing about being in the temple.By coincidence, he got acquainted with Princess Yue, the princess whom Emperor Zhou had reunited with for many years.
After the ceremony, the newcomer is sent to the new house. General Mu Yaomu is the official of the imperial court. Today she is married, and many people who are close to her have also come to Jiangfu, and the emperor specially ordered that General Mu can first unveil the ceremony with the groom, Lord Hou. It is the first time in the world to welcome guests.Usually, the bride would sit in the new house until late at night, and Mu Yao has served in the Ministry of War for many years and has made a lot of military exploits. All the officials have long regarded her as a colleague. The emperor's decree is undoubtedly to show the importance he attaches to the Mu family. Everyone Although I'm not used to it, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.In fact, this idea was proposed by Du Penglai and Mu Yao adopted Lin Xuan's approval. Fortunately, Jiang Lingyue and Mu Yao handed over many tedious matters of marriage to Du Penglai to plan. Naturally, I also want to have a perfect memory.After Du Penglai got the 1 taels of silver that Jiang Lingyue drew from the tent, he began to make all kinds of things. In the way that it could be realized in Zhaoguo, he made various contributions to Jiang Lingyue's wedding, boldly set up a garden afternoon tea lawn buffet, and tried Three types of Western-style desserts were launched.
Before the lawn afternoon tea buffet started, the bride Mu Yao appeared on the stage with the support of Jiang Lingyue. The guests expressed their surprise at this wedding scene.A variety of exquisite Chinese dim sum and tea are presented on the long table covered with red cloth, but there are also three Western-style dim sum and milk tea developed by Du Penglai.Among the three western-style desserts, especially the pudding, people exclaimed, my God, there are such delicious things in the world!Du Penglai originally thought that ladies would like these desserts very much. They are also popular in modern times, but the fact is that ladies can't grab the quick-witted men at all. After the ministers finished eating, their eyes were full of peach blossoms. Du Penglai, I insist on going to Du Penglai's house tomorrow as a guest. Some people suggested that he open a pastry shop, surrounded by three floors from the left and three floors full of people. Du Penglai feels that he has been a bachelor for so many years and he is not as bare-handed as he is today. It can feel hot at the height of the sun.
"I'm talking about a senior scholar." Mo Zhiqing walked towards him slowly with a bowl of delicate pudding, "I haven't eaten your carefully prepared snacks in the palace before, so I don't know how much talent the senior scholar has hidden. Come, Ling Dang, get another bowl." Ling Dang clapped his hands and ran to the dining table triumphantly.
"Hahaha..." Du Penglai smiled awkwardly, "They are all rough snacks, and they really can't catch the eyes of the empress." Du Penglai thought that it would be bad if he was scolded by the empress again because of the dim sum.Well, talking nonsense with your eyes open, rough snacks?I don't know how rough it is!Mo Zhiqing looked at Du Penglai like spring wind and rain, "This palace loves to eat this kind of rough snacks, and the palace is used to eating delicate ones. I will wait for the Grand Master to send two new varieties to my palace." Detour behind Du Penglai.
"No!" Du Penglai said with a smile, suddenly felt that the style of painting was wrong, and said anxiously, "No! I am a bachelor and not a cook!" Then I wanted to ask the empress to argue that she had gone to Muyao's side, Du Penglai patted his head wanting to cry, but you don't care about your old women, why are you always coming out and making noises about others.How much he wanted to tell the queen that the twisted snacks were not sweet, but he didn't dare, fearing that the queen would twist him if he said the words.
"Is that the great scholar from Zhaoguo?" Mei Huan whispered, staring at Du Penglai with great interest for a long time, "Listening to the discussion, he is the one who came up with the unique wedding idea, and he is an interesting person."
"Mr. Mei has been interested in everything in Zhaoguo since arriving in Zhaoguo. I don't think it would be better for Mr. Mei to stay in Zhaoguo and serve in Zhaoguo. You don't have to hesitate before Mo and Zhou." Shao Yi suggested that he was about to be beaten by Mei Huan along the way. It's annoying. "Princess Yue, what you said is very reasonable. I will consider it carefully. Do you want to know why I am so interested in the country?"
"I don't want to." Shao Yi returned cleanly.
Mei Huan was not angry when she saw her unkind expression, and smiled softly, "That's because Zhaoguo is the place Princess Yue misses so much. I want to see the place where you grew up, and what kind of place raised the person I like."
"That's enough. Mr. Mei... I'm here to watch the ceremony today, can I not listen to you continue to write poems and lyrics?" Shao Yi touched his head, how could Mei Huan's handsome face be so unscrupulous.Mei Huan felt a little sour in his heart, but still had a smile on his face, "Okay, I won't talk if you don't like to hear it, and I'll talk about it when you like to hear it."
I'm afraid there won't be a day when Shao Yi won't talk to Mei Huan.In the beginning, Ji Yuejun also talked to Mei Huan in a friendly voice based on the principle of not hurting face, but she found that this trick didn't work on him, it would only make him more and more violent.It took years of practice to say no to him - straight to the point.However, Mei Huan was upright and talented, and helped her a lot.In Zhou Guo these years, she and he have become friends who understand each other.Ji Yuejun looked at Mo Zhiqing who was talking with Mu Yao and her younger sister Ji Xiangrong with a smile in the distance, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, but one thing she could be sure of was that she was envious...
In the evening, the scene of opening [-] tables was really shocking. According to Jiang Lingyue, the number of attendees was the result of streamlining and streamlining according to the list, and the congratulatory gifts from all directions were piled up into hills.Almost all the ministers in the court were present to give Jianghou a lot of face. Ji Yuejun was wearing men's clothes and sitting on the table in the middle. The misty, breezy and elegant old man is none other than Ji Muzhi, the Shangshu of the dynasty.Over the years, his gray hair on the temples has grown a lot...
Mei Huan reached out and handed the teacup in front of Ji Yuejun to her, "I must miss Ji Shangshu very much, you can go and see him after the wedding banquet, this time we come out and no one knows where we are going, so there is no need to worry about the court. What's more, now Emperor Zhou's health is not as good as before, and he even has less control over the government." Mei Huan suggested softly, it would be difficult to enter the house without leaving home for seven years.Mei Huan felt a little scared in the days when she came to Zhaoguo. On the surface, Zhaoguo hadn't made any big moves in these years, but the people lived very prosperously.The series of reform policies supported by Emperor Jing seem to be leading Zhaoguo to gradually surpass other countries. At least he can feel the vigorous vitality in Zhaoguo, which is what Zhou State lacks. Thinking of this, he wants to see the true face of Emperor Jing. .
Halfway through the banquet, Zhou Yan escorted Young Master Tsing Yi into the hall, Jiang Lingyue and Du Penglai rushed forward to meet him, and it was Lin Xuan who came.The sharp-eyed ministers in the first row, whose faces were flushed from drinking, suddenly saw the emperor approaching and were so frightened that they hurriedly put down their glasses and wanted to get up to salute. Fortunately, the people who followed Lin Xuan had already greeted each table. If they got up and saluted the people in the hall Do not follow.
"The emperor is here!" Jiang Lingyue was drunk a lot, and she was very excited to see Lin Xuan with the smell of alcohol.
Lin Xuan laughed and said, "Congratulations to Marquis Dingbei and General Muyao on their wedding. How could I not come?"
"This person seems to have a lot of background," Mei Huan whispered in Ji Yuejun's ear, then drank a glass of wine while eating the delicate dishes on the plate, Ji Yuejun looked up and saw Lin Xuan smiling Ripple immediately put down the jade chopsticks and wanted to escape, the speed of her heartbeat was the weight of the whole spring.She thought that she would look at him calmly. She thought that these many years of experience would allow her to deal with this moment with ease.His appearance hasn't changed too much, his body is more majestic and still thin but tall and straight like a pine and cypress.Mei Huan didn't make a sound, he realized that this person was Jingdi Lin Xuan.
Before daring to say a few pleasantries, Jiang Lingyue pulled Lin Xuan to the screen at the back, "Second brother, how did you leave the palace? I heard from the queen that she has put martial law in the palace." Lin Xuan raised her head triumphantly and said, "She Still want to stop me? Dreaming!" In fact, Lin Xuan is stubborn. If he comes out easily, he doesn't have to wait until night. I'm really embarrassed to talk about the bitter history of his leaving the palace. Originally, I wanted to leave the palace in disguise, but it was too much effort to bring him directly Watching Zhou Yan and the guards come out swaggeringly.
"How's your day?"
"It's very interesting during the day. The wedding that the Grand Scholar organized for me was ingenious, but it's really a headache to deal with the guests at each table at night. Everyone wants to get me drunk." Jiang Lingyue vomited bitterly, "That's right! The funniest I have to deal with other people's blessings of "early birth" every day! How to give birth? Only after giving birth will there be ghosts!"
"Haha..." Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "By the way, is Mo Zhiqing here too?"
"Yes, Mu Yao said that the queen offered to be her bridesmaid."
Alright, trap me at home and come out to be cool, Lin Xuan was so angry that he was itching his teeth and thinking about how to express his anger, he asked, "Where are the female relatives?"
"The female relatives are all in the inner hall, and the mother will host the wedding banquet."
"Mrs. Jiang Tai and Mrs. Jiang have not seen each other for a long time. The day after tomorrow, the Empress Dowager must be happy to let the two ladies enter the palace. They have not seen each other for many years." Lin Xuan remembered the scene of visiting Jiang Manor when he was a child, and still remembered Mrs. Tai The situation of taking her to the rockery.
"Okay, second brother, I will tell grandma and mother about this tomorrow, and they are also planning when they will enter the palace to greet the empress dowager."
"Let's go, I'm here to join in the fun, you are today's protagonist, later on Mu Yao will blame me for kidnapping you." Lin Xuan and Jiang Lingyue returned to the lobby while joking, "By the way, I heard that Lin Xuan A well-known calligrapher and painter from Zhouzhou also came today. I have been rumoring that every time he comes to Beijing, he finds various reasons to shirk him. I didn’t expect him to have a lot of connections with your Jiang family.”
"Since when did the emperor love painting? There was such a person in the world in the past? Nowadays, there are many people stalking others. What's his name?"
"My name is Xu Yan. I also admire his character. I specially told those who invite him not to make things difficult. It is the Empress Dowager who admires his paintings very much. She said that he is a rare genius with a unique style of painting. Isn't it the Empress Dowager's birthday soon?" , I'm still waiting for his painting to be filial... But he completely ignores it, and I can't force it." Lin Xuan spread his hands in a very helpless look.
"I've never heard of any relationship between this person and my Jiang family. Steward Bai, go and get the list of today's guests." Jiang Lingyue comforted, "If there is such a person, I will definitely get the painting for my second brother."
After the ceremony, the newcomer is sent to the new house. General Mu Yaomu is the official of the imperial court. Today she is married, and many people who are close to her have also come to Jiangfu, and the emperor specially ordered that General Mu can first unveil the ceremony with the groom, Lord Hou.
