Just outside the inn, the Fengzhou officials were shivering in the wind and snow. A convoy of more than a hundred people finally drove slowly through the wind and snow. The flag on the carriage was two simple big characters - —Murong!
Seeing the appearance of the motorcade, everyone waiting outside the inn suddenly became energetic and prepared to meet Murong Yuliang. When the carriage arrived at the inn, before Murong Yuliang got off the car, Wang Jin, who wanted to join him, was the one who had just arrived. Busy said loudly:
"I humbly welcome Murong Zhizhou to your arrival!"
Hearing Wang Jin speak first, Liu Zhengxian's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly. According to the usual practice when greeting Shangguan, the person with the highest official position should speak first, and the others would echo, and he was a fellow scholar of the sixth rank, and Wang Jin was from the sixth rank. Judge, he should be the first to speak. Wang Jin violated a taboo in official circles this time - he overstepped his bounds.
Although he was very dissatisfied with Wang Jin's actions in his heart, Liu Zhengxian still had some patience after serving as an official for many years. He did not have an attack, but bowed and saluted in the same way:
"We are waiting to welcome Murong Zhizhou!"
Amidst the crowd's voices, a middle-aged man in his fifties stepped out of the carriage in the middle. Although this man was old, he was still elegant, with a tall figure and a dignified appearance. When he was young, he was a first-class handsome guy.
This man is Murong Yuliang, the former fourth-rank Hanlin Academy scholar, the younger brother of Murong Lun, the Minister of Household Affairs, and the biological father of Murong Qingwu, the most talented woman in the world!
"My colleagues are all here to greet me. I'm really scared!" Murong Yuliang returned the greeting and said:
Everyone met Murong Yuliang one by one and exchanged a few words with each other. Among them, Wang Jin was particularly warm, nodding and bowing, wishing to enshrine Murong Yuliang as an ancestor, which was very disdainful... ········
After getting rid of the small incident of Wang Jin, everyone got back on the carriage and rushed towards Fengzhou City in a good atmosphere.
After the motorcade entered Fengzhou City, Ye Dong, who came on Ye Mingsheng's order, found Liu Zhengxian. Under Liu Zhengxian's introduction, Ye Dong came to Murong Yuliang.
"Sir Murong, this is Ye Dong, the personal captain of Fengzhou Commander-in-Chief Ye Mingsheng, and I'm asking to see you on orders from Commander-in-Chief Ye!"
After Liu Zhengxian finished speaking, Ye Dong, who had been quietly sizing up Murong Yuliang, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:
"I'm here to see you, Lord Murong. My Lord Commander-in-Chief is busy with military affairs. He has been inspecting combat readiness at the Shiquan County military camp during this period. He is unable to come in person to welcome you!"
"But my lord, the commander-in-chief, has booked the Yuford Restaurant in the city tonight to help Lord Murong. I hope you will appreciate it!"
Murong Yuliang's bright eyes flashed with an imperceptible color when he heard this, then he nodded towards Ye Dong and said with a smile:
"When I was on the road before, I also heard that General Ye led the Zhenwu Army to defeat the Khitans in Fengzhou and beat the leader of the thieves, Yeluyan, to a pulp. This battle was really exciting!"
"Fengzhou is a place where hundreds of battles have taken place. General Ye's military affairs are very important. Don't let me alone affect your combat readiness!"
"You go back and tell Mr. Ye that I appreciate his kindness, but I am exhausted from running around for days and want to have a good rest."
After saying this, Murong Yuliang ignored Ye Dong and continued to chat and laugh with the others, becoming more lively.
After hearing Murong Yuliang's polite refusal, Ye Dong looked a little ugly...
During this period, as Ye Mingsheng became more and more powerful, he was like a local emperor in Fengzhou. As the captain of his personal soldiers, Ye Dong's status naturally rose with the tide.
Although in the Zhenwu Army system, Ye Dong is only a ninth-grade junior captain, for Ye Mingsheng's sake, both his colleague Liu Zhengxian and deputy commander He Jingyun were very polite to Ye Dong. .
This also made Ye Dong, in addition to being respectful and loyal in front of Ye Mingsheng, also a bit arrogant at ordinary times. He had not been rejected like this for a long time.
Ye Dong originally wanted to scold Murong Yuliang loudly for his lack of appreciation, but after thinking about it, he suppressed the anger in his heart and did not break out.
With Ye Mingsheng backing him up, Ye Dong didn't care that Murong Yuliang was the second master of the wealthy Murong family, nor did he care that he was some bullshit magistrate of Fengzhou.
But he knew one thing, Murong Yuliang was Murong Qingwu's biological father, and Murong Qingwu was his young master's long-standing dream lover.
Just because of his young master’s character, maybe that day the old man’s daughter, the most talented woman in the world, will become his young mistress, and this old man will also become his young master’s father-in-law...
For Murong Qingwu's sake, even though he was a little angry at Murong Yuliang's attitude, Ye Dong still did not lose his courtesy and bowed his hand to Murong Yuliang before retreating.
Returning to Ye Mansion, Ye Dong came to the study room familiarly. Looking at the closed door of the study room, Ye Dong waited quietly in the middle of the courtyard with great interest.
After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Jinyu, blushing with shame and disheveled clothes, reluctantly walked out of the study. As she walked, she did not forget to tell Ye Mingsheng inside:
"Master, I ordered some new clothes and learned some new things. You must come tonight..."
Hearing Jinyu's words of tiger and wolf, Ye Mingsheng, who had just put on his clothes, couldn't help but think of the madness just now again, and shook his head helplessly. There is really no plowed field, only exhausted cows. The ancients Don’t deceive me sincerely········
Because he was going to marry An Miaoyi and become his first wife, Ye Mingsheng also took this opportunity to give Jinyu and Pei Zhixiu, the two nameless women who followed him, a name before An Miaoyi came through. point.
He formally took the two of them as concubines and entered his Ye family.
Although there are many rumors about An Miaoyi, most of them describe how beautiful she is, how unknown she is, and how harmful she is to the country and the people.
But there is very little information about her character and person.
So because I don’t know the character of the eldest lady of the An family that I am about to marry,
Ye Mingsheng's move can be regarded as a precautionary measure, so as to save some unnecessary trouble if something unnecessary happens after An Miaoyi comes over.
Because it was a concubine, not a wife, there was no need to make it grand. Ye Mingsheng simply did it in his military headquarters and asked Pei Zhixiu and Jinyu to hand tea to Ye Cui, and it was done. .
Pei Zhixiu and Jinyu were very happy about Ye Mingsheng's actions. They both knew that one of them was from the palace and the other was a maid. There was no way to become a daughter of Ye Mansion in this strict hierarchical feudal society. My master, I would be very satisfied if I could be a concubine by Ye Mingsheng’s side...
