In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

According to common sense, the crown prince should live in the palace, but the situation of the young master Furen is special. He and the young prince Bai competed for a long time. The opening of the mansion means that although Furen is the prince at this time, he still lives in the original mansion because he does not want to move around anymore.

According to the "Zhou Rituals", after the grand ceremony, the husband and wife will meet the parents of the husband and wife. Xia Yu and Furen have been busy all the way, and their clothes are naturally not very neat, so the two of them first went to Furen's mansion to make some adjustments.

Before Xia Yu and Furen arrived at Jidu, an envoy had already informed them that they were going back to the city, so when the two of them drove to Furen's mansion, everyone in the mansion had already been at the gate to greet them for a long time.

Fu Ren and Xia Yu rode together, Fu Ren got out of the car first, then turned around naturally and reached out to help Xia Yu get off the car, but Xia Yu who was about to get up was taken aback by Fu Ren's action, looked at Fu Ren It took a long time before he put his hand in Furen's palm and got out of the car with his strength.

Furen held Xia Yu's hand and walked to the main gate of the mansion. The waiting people immediately came to see Shi Li. When the leader was about to give the big gift, he was grabbed by Furen and said: "Brother, don't you want to give a gift?" I am ashamed of receiving so much courtesy." Yan Bi turned to Xia Yu and said, "Ayu, this is my cousin's son, the chief disciple of my master Taifu Gu Zhucun'a, that is, my kinsman Sicun Brother, Brother Jia, Young Master Qi, is now the housekeeper of my mansion, in the past he was in charge of my fiefdom and all the big and small matters of the mansion, and he would report to my inner father on a regular basis."

Xia Yu had already listened to Furen introduce Young Master Qi in detail on the way. Being able to be called Young Master shows that he is not far from the current King of Yan. In fact, Young Master Qi and Fu Ren are indeed quite close in blood. His father is the cousin of Ji Fan, the monarch of the Yan Kingdom, and his title is not low. It is only because of the large number of heirs, and the fact that the son Qi is only a low-ranking son of a servant, that he has no title and fiefdom.

Originally, clans like Young Master Qi mostly relied on the protection of his father and brother to obtain official positions in the Yan State Mansion. Although they were not as powerful as his father and brother, they still lived comfortably and richly all their lives.It was only at that time that Furen was brought back to the palace, and his study of poetry and books was not as good as expected. Yan Guoguo wanted to choose a young clan member who was one or two years old to accompany Furen to study, because all the children in the clan who were about the same age as Furen were familiar with Prince Bai. The few concubines who are not valued are alienated from Young Master Bai because of their low status. Young Master Qi is one of these concubines. By chance, he was selected by Yan Guogui to be his senior brother with Furen.

Afterwards, Furen often led troops in the army to fight, so he appointed Young Master Qi as his housekeeper. Naturally, Young Master Qi took care of all the affairs in the mansion, and then reported to Yan Guoguo on a regular basis.

Since Xia Yu knew the details of this person, naturally he would not ignore it, and returned the gift according to the etiquette, saying: "Young master."

The young master said: "Don't dare, there is no master in the prince's mansion, and I am temporarily the governor of the mansion, and I have always been sincere and fearful. Now that the master enters the mansion, my heart is determined. From now on, I will do my best and be loyal to my duty. "

Xia Yu nodded and smiled, without saying anything, Furen also said at this time: "Okay, father-in-law and father-in-law should be waiting impatiently, let's enter the palace quickly."

The young master said: "I have ordered my servants to prepare the washing utensils. The crown prince and his nephew can enter the palace immediately after bathing and changing."

After taking a bath and changing clothes with Xia Yu, Furen and Xia Yu entered the palace in a large dress.

Compared with the ruling government of Linzi, the palace of Yan State is really small and dilapidated. All the way through the palace gate, ascending the high platform, and entering the main hall, I saw that Yan State Lord Ji Fan and Yan State State Chu Di had arranged the ritual vessels according to the etiquette. After the banquet is set, the music of bells and drums is played in the hall.

According to the "Zhou Rituals", Xia Yu presented the sacrificial vessel and paid homage to him. According to the etiquette, the monarch of Yan State should touch the sacrificial vessel to show his gifts, and then return the salute, but at this time, the monarch of Yan State, Ji Fan, did not move.

After Xia Yu saluted, she got up and saw that Yan Guojun Ji Fan was staring at her with piercing eyes, so she couldn't help frowning again.

Yan Guoguo, who was sitting side by side with Ji Fan and set up a case, saw this scene and cried out in his heart. You must know that since Ji Fan returned to the country this time, except for the matter of making him the prince, everything else has been done. Drinking and having fun day and night, ignoring political affairs, leaving all matters in the court to Di Shi and Furen, without questioning, even Furen's request for Xia Yu, I don't know why, and agreed without saying a word .

Yan Guoguo and Di Shi and Yan Jun Ji Fan have been husband and wife for nearly thirty years. Although the relationship is not close to the back, they can be regarded as mutual understanding. During this period of time, Yan Jun Ji Fan is so abnormal, Di Shi is afraid that this old It would be ugly if the guy made a fuss during Xia Yu's ceremony.

In the end, it seemed to be a gesture, but the old guy actually seemed to really want to make a fuss when his son saw him.

Di Shi gritted her teeth and wanted to open her mouth to rescue Xia Yu, but before Di Shi could speak, Yan Jun Ji Fan said, "If you knew today, would you regret that you treated me harshly when you were Changdi?"

Xia Yu's expression sharpened slightly, but after a while, he became invisible again. After a long time, he replied: "I don't regret it, it's up to each other."

Yan Junji Fan raised her eyebrows, and was about to say something more, only to see Xia Yu salute again, and said: "Now I am the Yan family, the prince is my lord, and Yu should also be loyal and wise to serve my lord." The meaning of Xia Yu's words is connected with the previous sentence "each is his master", which is a metaphor: I used to be a subject of Qi State, and I did my best for my lord. is my lord, then I will do my best to serve my current lord.

Although Ji Fan was incompetent in governing the country, he was thrown into the circle of nobles since he was a child, and he was very familiar with the ability of nobles to talk in a roundabout way. How could he not understand what Xia Yu said? If Ji Fan hadn't grown up at this time, Treating Xia Yu harshly means that it is wrong for a courtier to be loyal to the lord, so it is tantamount to saying that Xia Yu is not necessary to be loyal to the servant at this time as the servant's inner chamber.

What Xia Yu said was very cunning, and Ji Fan couldn't blame her.

Ji Fan just stared at Xia Yu for a long time, then laughed loudly, and said, "Boy Yu, you are still so powerful, you don't leak, you don't give up half a step. How many do you drop?"

After laughing loudly, Ji Fan stopped paying attention to Xia Yu, and collapsed backward in a very unshape manner, grabbed another flagon, and started drinking.

According to the etiquette, Ji Fan still needs to return the salute at this time, but seeing the monarch behave like this, the person who sang the salute was also embarrassed and didn't know what to do, but at this time it was still Di Shi who opened his mouth and said, "Come here and let me have a look." , let me see what the inner room that my son is obsessed with is what it looks like?"

When Di Shi opened his mouth, it was regarded as a relief, and the person who sang the salute was also relieved, and then sang the salute according to the etiquette for Xia Yu to meet Di Shi.

Xia Yu brought in the ritual utensils and food according to the etiquette, and then gave the salute, and Di Shi also followed the etiquette. When Xia Yu finished the ceremony and looked up, Di Shi stared at Xia Yu for a while, and then sighed: "No wonder my son usually doesn't ask for anything. The person who mentioned it to me tortured me all day because of you, insisting that I agree with you as the wife."

Xia Yu didn't speak, and then followed the etiquette and cooperated with the singers to complete the greeting ceremony one by one. After the ceremony, he exited the door and gave the ritual vessel for returning the gift to the envoy of Qi State who had been waiting outside the hall to salute. Yan Guolian fainted.

The envoy from the State of Qi was about to cry bitterly at this moment. He thought that he would not live to return to the State of Qi several times along the way. Now seeing that the gift was over, he took the gift vessel sent back by the State of Yan and returned to the Qi State. , it means that the task is completed, and my life is saved, how can I not be happy.

The envoy of the State of Qi bowed and accepted the ceremony full of excitement.
