That afternoon, Xie Kun personally handed him a letter.
Xu He opened the letter and saw a line of words written inside:
"It's three o'clock, the British government!"
It's three quarters, half past ten, going to the British government?
Xu He took the note and suddenly thought of Lu Heng.
Lu Heng... claimed to be from the British government.
but……
Xu He suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes.
The British duke of this generation was named Lu Heng, and Lu Heng claimed to be from the British duchy.
wrong.
This is not right!
Lu Heng, Lu Heng, if Lu Heng is really from the British Duke, then he must avoid the name of the Duke.
Name taboos also include sound taboos!
In other words, Lu Heng was definitely not from the British government.
"Wait a minute!" Xu He closed his eyes and calmed down.
"Maybe Lu Heng came up with a name randomly and thought of Lu Heng, so he named him Lu Heng!"
Xu He's heart was completely confused.
He can move with the prince, and he is also served by the powerful eunuch Zheng Eunuch.
Xue Yongzhi was also respectful to him.
Obviously, Lu Heng's identity is not simple.
Xu He originally thought that the other party was from the British Duke's family. After all, the British Duke also married the princess.
It is perfectly normal to have several eunuchs in the family.
Now that I think about it, this is wrong, very wrong.
A few days ago, Nacai asked for her name, and he already knew that Princess Qinghe's maiden name was "Huiheng"!
Zhang Huiheng, Lu Heng!
Xu He opened his eyes and looked at Dong Shi next to him in surprise.
"Xiaoer, do you still remember Mr. Lu?"
The waiter frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Is it Mr. Lu who came to Hailing with Mr. Xue Xiaohou?"
"Well! Tell me, is it possible that she is..."
"What is it?"
"Forget it! We'll know tomorrow!"
After saying that, Xu He turned back to the study.
Dong Shi was left looking at Xu He's back in confusion, wondering why he suddenly mentioned Lu Heng.
Early the next morning, Xu He washed and dressed early, and sent his servants to the Hanlin Academy to take leave early.
These days, Xu He was about to become a princess, and the Hanlin Academy was not surprised to see him asking for leave. Zhang Tengxiao wrote a post directly to the servants of Xu He's family, asking him to submit it to Zhang Lan, the bachelor's student, for reporting.
When it was about ten o'clock, Xu He got on the carriage and drove towards the British government palace.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw Lu Ji standing at the door to personally greet the guests who arrived at the house.
Only then did Xu He realize that he was not the only one who came.
When Lu Ji saw Xu He, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother Liang Sheng, no no no, Master Zhuangyuan, please come in, please come in!"
Xu He couldn't help but ask Lu Ji face to face what happened to the guests in this mansion, so he had to follow Lu Ji in confusion.
As Lu Ji walked, he turned sideways and said to Xu He: "Liangsheng, we will be relatives soon, let's move around often!"
Lu Ji's mother was Princess Nankang, the elder sister of Emperor Zhizheng.
By this calculation, she should be Princess Qinghe's biological aunt Zhang Huiheng.
In this way, he and Xu He are really relatives of the same generation.
Xu He's mind was filled with speculations at this time, and he had no time to have a relationship with him.
Lu Ji saw him smiling and saying nothing, so he said [empathetically]: "Don't be nervous. Although the people here are all princes and princes, they are basically idlers. Only my father and Princess Yunyang's prince-in-law, Sun Ang, are here." Now he serves in the imperial court!"
When Xu He heard this, he became even more certain that Lu Heng was Duke Qinghe Zhang Huiheng.
Last time it was a cultural meeting, this time it was even more special, the Prince Consort was having a meeting!
The prince-in-law is having a meeting, all the heroes are gathered together, one hundred and eighty glasses of palace jade liquor!
Inexplicably, Xu He suddenly remembered the sketch from another world.
"Young Master, what are the rules for this gathering?"
Lu Ji was surprised when he heard this: "You don't know?"
Xu He...should I know?
Lu Ji said: "According to the rules, before the princess's wedding, you have to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to learn some rules!"
"I'm going, I'm done studying!"
"Yes, but there is another rule. The court will appoint a consort to teach you some things to pay attention to after marriage!"
When Xu He thought about it, it seemed that such a thing was really happening. However, he was originally scheduled to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to meet the consort in the afternoon!
"The Empress thinks that you should listen more to the words of your seniors. It just so happens that my father is the Prince Consort, so I simply issued an order in the palace and asked my father to call all the consorts in Beijing to come to the house to talk to you, the new husband. Let’s meet, Prince Consort… After all, we will all be relatives from now on, so it’s better to meet in advance!”
"..." Xu He was a little confused.
What does Queen Xie mean?
Didn't you secretly arrange for yourself to meet Zhang Huiheng in advance?
Just ask my husband for convenience. Why do you have so many people here? There are many people with mixed eyes.
Eyes are mixed, there are really not many people...
When Xu He walked into the flower hall of the Duke's Mansion, there were only six people sitting inside.
The leader is, of course, someone I have met before, the British Duke of this generation, Lord Lu Heng.
"Young Master is on top, please be polite to your subordinates!"
When Xu He entered the flower hall, he stood still and bowed to salute.
Compared with last time, Lu Heng didn't even sit down this time. He stood up and greeted Xu He. When he saw Xu He, he looked up and down, then turned to everyone and said: "Everyone, this is the number one scholar of our Wei Dynasty. , the famous Xu Liushu Xu He is the husband-in-law of Princess Qinghe!"
As soon as these words came out, the other five people in the flower hall stood up.
"The Number One Scholar is indeed a talented scholar!"
"With this appearance, no wonder he was chosen by the palace!"
"Princess is a blessed person. Xu Xiuzhan has a handsome appearance and outstanding literary talent. Even an old man who has no interest in worldly affairs has heard someone in the house talk about Xu Zhuangyuan!"
At this time, among a group of old men, a slightly younger man stood aside and said to Xu He with a smile: "Liangsheng, we are a family from now on. Logically speaking, you have to call us uncle!"
Good guys, listen to this, you are all the sons-in-law of Emperor Wuzong.
Lu Heng introduced: "This is Sun Ang, our clan member of the Zongren Mansion of the Great Wei Dynasty, a Jinshi of the Wu Zong Dynasty! He is also the only one among us Prince Consort Captains in Beijing who serves in the Zongren Mansion. He has always been trusted by His Majesty. All of us They all look forward to the concubine Sun's consort!"
When Sun Ang heard that he was being looked down upon by a British stallion, he immediately raised his eyebrows and felt happy in his heart, but his face showed gratitude: "Oh, sir, aren't you ashamed of my face when you say this? Who are you? We are As the most noble person in the Wei dynasty, everyone should look up to you!"
…
After some humility, everyone took their seats.
Lu Heng coughed twice, and then said to Sun Ang: "Mr. Sun, the Ministry of Rites sent you to explain the rules to the new prince-in-law. In this case, you should do it!"
After hearing this, Sun Ang was humble again, and then reluctantly agreed.
He straightened his back, coughed twice and said to Xu He: "Master Zhuangyuan, according to the rules, before we are chosen as our consorts, we actually have to go through the procedures of the Ministry of Etiquette."
"The so-called process is to select the palace. There are usually three people. One person is selected, and the other two who are not selected will be sent to the Confucian school to serve as concubines!"
"Although the noble officials were directly selected, the Ministry of Rites still selected two people as usual!"
"After you marry Princess Qinghe, remember to prepare two gifts for the servants in your family to give to each other!"
"It's also a little thoughtful!"
"It's been this way for so many years, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" A group of old men nodded repeatedly.
