The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and warblers were chirping, but inside the pavilion there was silence and a strange atmosphere. The people sitting at the banquet watched Murong Yuqiang dragging her light red dress and walking toward Ji Ye and Wu Gen's dining table.
On the main seat, Murong Yanyu's eyes were filled with sadness, and he silently glanced at his sister. Ji Chen next to him looked calm and gently held his wife's hand.
The warmth spread to her hands and warmed her heart. Murong Yanyu's face lit up again and she smiled slightly at her husband.
Wu Gen rested his elbow on the case and looked at Murong Yuqiang who was gradually approaching with a bright smile.
"Second Young Master." Murong Yu opened her mouth softly and stared at Ji Ye, who was a little dazed. Wu Gen coughed and poked Ji Ye with his elbow. Ji Ye came to his senses, stood up and bowed slightly.
"Miss Yuqiang." The two drank with their sleeves covered, nodded to each other, and didn't say a word. Murong Yuqiang was about to turn around when she suddenly saw Wu Gen with a motherly smile on her side. She raised her eyebrows and moved to Wu Gen.
"Respect Mr. Wu." With a splash, Wu Gen, who was watching the show, looked shocked. In a hurry, he hit his head on the table and knocked over the wine glass in front of him.
Feeling the murderous gazes around him, Wu Gen glanced at Ji Ye beside him, slowly poured himself another glass of wine, and said seriously: "Miss Murong Murong." Murong Yuqiang frowned slightly and looked at Wu Gen coldly. Take one look, drink the remaining wine in the cup and leave.
Wu Gen sat down with a dull expression and scratched his head, not sure what Murong Yuqiang meant. After experiencing this episode, no one toasted the two Lishus at the table, and they started talking to each other.
However, some people would glance at Wu Gen from time to time, and their eyes were complicated and difficult to understand. Finally, when the banquet was over, Wu Gen and Ji Ye said goodbye and walked towards the mansion. Halfway there, Guyang Si caught up with Cang Yi and the heirs of the Guang family and Wen family, and they returned together.
When they arrived at the waterside pavilion, Ji Ye asked someone to serve some tea, and even Yang Zheng and others were there to accompany him. Gu Yangsi casually opened his front, obviously this was not his first time here.
"Second Young Master, please save me." Gu Yangsi leaned on the railing of the waterside pavilion with a wry smile on his face.
"I didn't know anything about today's events. When we arrived at the mansion, the eldest young master and his wife told us one by one that they asked us to interact with the two girls more, which caught me off guard. This time, the third young master was offended to death. , I will be beaten to death by her if I can't go out. We all know the fists of the third young master, or I can stay here for a few days." Ji Ye also had a wry smile on his face,
"I understand what my brother is thinking, but my sister has finally grown up and has her own ideas. How could she be so hasty? Now I have to send someone to keep an eye on my sister to prevent her from running somewhere again. "Wu Gen also had a sad look on his face, thinking about whether to tell Shui Congyue about Ji Yan.
This eldest brother was born to be a love-famous person, and this kind of love debt is indispensable wherever he goes. If Ji Yan uses force, she might turn around and leave the Iron Hand Province, which would make her and Ji Ye look ugly.
Cang Yi suddenly said from the side: "Actually, I don't think there is anything wrong with the young master's move. Such a marriage can ease the relationship with various families, why not do it. Besides, several families were present today, and they also gave three What else can be said about the opportunity for the young master to choose. Born in a family like ours, you can decide how many people get married, and everything is still based on the family. The third young master is smart and wise, I believe he will understand the first young master It’s painstaking.” The people from the Guang family on the side also spoke in agreement,
"Yes, rumors are spreading all over the place, and people in the family are panicking. My father can hardly suppress the commotion among the people below. That's why he sent me to Hanlu City just to persuade the head of the family to be cautious about the restructuring." As soon as the words came out, the water pavilion became quiet. The descendants of these families gathered in Hanlu City, weren't they all here for the restructuring, but usually everyone tacitly didn't mention it.
The Guang family, who arrived in Hanlu City for the first time today, actually raised the issue directly, which inevitably made everyone a little embarrassed. But it also shows how serious the situation below is.
"Do you think this banquet is to choose a son-in-law for the third young master? In fact, this is just a pretext. The real person who chooses a son-in-law is Murong Yuqiang." In the silence, a voice suddenly sounded from a far corner.
For a moment, Ji Ye and others looked at the source of the voice. The speaker was Hu Jia, who had hardly said a word today.
When they came to Hanlu City this time, it was Hu Jia who proposed to see the Ji family and the members of various families with his own eyes, and try to figure out their temperament and methods of doing things, so Wu Gen shamelessly kept a few of them with him.
"How do you say this?" Ji Ye sat up straighter and raised his hand to signal Hu Jia to continue. Hu Jia stood up from his seat and stood unceremoniously in the middle of the room.
"Everyone, I come from a noble family in Beizhou. According to the status of the third young master, she is not a princess, but also a noble daughter like a princess. How can it be so easy for someone with such status to get married? Moreover, this time it was launched all at once Don't you two think it's a little ridiculous?" After saying that, Hu Jia turned to look at Gu Yangsi,
"Young Master Gu, did the eldest young master say today that it was the third young master who chose his son-in-law?" Gu Yangsi glanced at Ji Ye and shook his head: "No, and it was the madam who told me that the eldest young master did not speak directly. He just said that he wanted to move around more with Third Young Master and Miss Murong, but we all understand the meaning."
"That's right. If the third young master chooses a son-in-law, how can the young master's wife come forward? After all, the lord is still in the city, and the second young master is also here. How can it be the turn of the wife to take charge." Hu Jia flicked his sleeves and said with emotion. : "So, the one who really wants to marry this time is Miss Murong, because Madam can make the decision on this matter. Moreover, all the virtuous people are in the city, which can be a good choice for my sister. They are all from the Wanhu family, and they are well matched. If Isn't marriage a good thing, it will be beneficial to Miss Murong and the Murong family. Besides, Madam just let everyone get to know each other, and did not make it clear that she would choose a son-in-law. Even if it fails, everyone can just turn around. "
"Then why did the third young master get involved?" Cang Yi asked puzzledly. Hu Jia smiled slightly,
"It's a simple matter. I guess the madam mentioned it to the eldest young master. The eldest young master was so excited that he had a younger sister at home. He might as well bring her over to have a look. If it can work out better, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. After all, it doesn't matter. He is the eldest brother, so he should worry about his sister, so he did not inform the second young master. However, this girl Murong is a bit stubborn, and she actually refuted her sister's face on the spot and gave it to the second young master and my family. ...Wu Qianhu toasted with a glass of wine." After saying that, Hu Jiali bowed his hand to Ji Ye apologetically, and it was really not polite to drag Ji Ye in face to face.
It turned out that this was the case. Everyone was a little surprised. No wonder the atmosphere of today's banquet was strange. For a moment, everyone was impressed by this young man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks.
Cang Yi suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but frown: "Then if Miss Murong doesn't agree, just tell the lady directly afterwards. Why do you still have to toast the second young master and Wu Qianhu?" For a moment, Gu Yang thought The others looked at Cang Yi as if they were fools, which made the latter look confused and confused.
Hu Jia coughed and looked at Ji Ye, who looked embarrassed.
"I don't know why she respects the Second Young Master, but when she respects Wu Qianhu, she puts Qianhu on the fire. I heard about the threshing of straw last time. Wu Qianhu had offended Miss Murong. What's going on in today's banquet? Everyone knew the meaning well. She was toasting alone. Didn't she want a group of people to hate Wu Qianhu? To put it bluntly, the human race has a low status in Kuntianzhou. Miss Murong abandoned everyone, but she was treating the low-status human race. If you show your kindness, Wu Qianhu will not be targeted in the future." At this point, Hu Jia smiled bitterly and handed over to Guyang Si and others.
"The reason why Hu Jia spoke so clearly today is to make it clear to all the young gentlemen that Wu Qianhu was truly wronged. Young gentlemen, please be considerate and do not feel resentful towards Qianhu." Everyone said that Wu Gen teased Murong Yuqiang. They all knew it. After listening to Hu Jia's detailed explanation, he understood what was going on. He felt more sympathy for Wu Gen and at the same time lamented the scheming of this girl Murong.
Gu Yangsi walked up to Wu Gen with a smile.
"Wu Qianhu, I think you robbed me of two jars of wine that day and almost beat me up. That's good. If you accompany me with two jars of wine and apologize to me, I will go find a few familiar people at today's banquet. People, tell them the whole story. If not, hehehe, you have to figure it out." Wu Gen held his chin with one hand and tapped the railing lightly with the other hand.
"It's okay to pay for the wine. Do you want to apologize? How about I beat you again now and give you two compliments?" Gu Yangsi jumped in front of Ji Ye exaggeratedly, covered his face and sobbed: "Second Young Master , Wu Qianhu wants to beat someone, you have to make the decision for the common people." For a moment, everyone was amused by Gu Yangsi, but they didn't expect that this man who looked elegant and steady actually had another side.
Now that the words have been spoken, the atmosphere in the waterside pavilion has become much more harmonious, and they start chatting with each other. He also stopped showing contempt for Hu Jia, Yang Zheng and others, and chatted happily with each other.
These people are the upper echelons of the shepherds, and they will not be as resistant to the human race as the people at the bottom. As long as you have real skills, they will not be stingy with their courtesy.
In the end, the one who stood out the most was Ye Ziming. He was good at such casual conversation situations, with witty remarks and quotations from scriptures. He was very good at talking with Gu Yangsi and others.
After everyone dispersed, Wu Gen took Hu Jia and others to his residence. He was already very familiar with this place, and of course he didn't need a servant to lead the way.
"This Murong Yuqiang seems to have a lot of resentment towards his sister, and he has become anxious. His sister married Ji Chen, and she wanted to find Ji Ye, but she had to go against him. Even the Wanhu family also wanted to find Ji Ye. I don’t like him and I don’t want to fall behind even half a point.” Ye Ziming shook his head as he walked.
"So, it is better for such scheming women to have less contact with her. Whoever marries her will be troubled, and the family may be in trouble." Yang Zheng also agreed.
Wu Gen angrily tore off a few pine needles from the green pine trees beside the road, and said angrily: "A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. She stabbed her today for no reason. Sooner or later, the debt will be settled." Yang Zheng laughed when he heard this. : "Didn't you advise me to be more tolerant to that shrew today? Why can't I stand it if it falls on me?"
"Can it be the same?" Wu Gen argued, holding his neck.
"Murong Yuqiang's move could kill me to put it mildly. You just got spit on a few times. You will have to beat this little bitch one day."
"You even hit a woman, but you're still not a man." Ye Ziming said angrily with an indignant look on his face.
"He, except Zhu Qianhua, doesn't dare to hit him, other women dare to hit him." Yang Zheng joked from the side, and suddenly slapped his head,
"By the way, there is also Wu Yi, who also trembles when they meet each other." Everyone laughed loudly. Wu Gen laughed and cursed a few times, and touched Qian Nian on his left hand. He said that Qian Nian had not responded for some days. .
"By the way, Wu Gen, we are being targeted. That woman and child were instigated to make trouble. They just want to ruin our reputation and take the opportunity to attack us. You should be more careful these days. There is no chance that the other party will Take action again." Before entering the house, Yang Zheng suddenly reminded him.
"Who will attack us? Forget it, let's find out later." Wu Gen thought for a while, but was too lazy to pursue it. Anyway, there are many people who want to attack the human race, so they can't go one by one. Check it out.
Yang Zheng snorted coldly,
"If I catch this man, I will spit on him hundreds of times. He has never been so humiliated in his life." Wu Gen smiled, knowing that Yang Zheng's self-esteem was really hurt today. Born in the royal family, he had never been so insulted by a woman, so he had to persuade: "Don't worry, people who can use such methods are not too clever to deal with." Early the next morning, Wu Gen was still sleeping, I could only hear the sound of the door being hammered.
"Wu Gen, get up, I want to go back to Xingshan with you." Wu Gen touched his forehead, and sure enough, Ji Yan was here.
