Today's Sheng Mansion is really lively. Compared with the Wang family's first family dinner back in Beijing, the scene this time was even bigger.
In addition to Hua Lan and Mo Lan who were married before, they brought Yuan Wenshao and Liang Han back, and now Ru Lan and Ming Lan were also married, so Gu Tingye and Wen Yanjing also came with them.
In addition to the four sisters of the Sheng family, Pinlan was also invited and brought Zhang Wen with her.
By the time Li Hao arrived, people from the Sheng family, Kang family, and Wang family had already arrived, and it looked like a lively atmosphere.
When he met Li Hao this time, Wang Shiping's attitude was obviously different from the last time.
But think about it, Li Hao's official position was only equal to his last time, and Zhao Zhen, who valued Li Hao, was not going to die soon, so the future situation is still unknown.
But it's different now. Not only is his official position higher than his, but his relationship with the little emperor is also particularly good.
Now the prospects are completely different. As long as nothing happens, there will be decades of wealth in the future. I am afraid that I will really have to rely on Li Hao to live in the future.
Thinking about it this way, Wang Shiping was really envious, jealous, and hateful of Li Hao. Why didn't such a good thing happen to him?
And in addition to Li Hao, Wang Shiping now also envied, jealous, and hated Sheng Hong.
Now Sheng Hong's official position has also risen, and he is on the same level as himself, but he can't stand up to Sheng Hong's power.
If it was just like this, forget it. Sheng Hong's son, who couldn't stand it, also tried his best. He passed the imperial examination and was ranked in the court. This time he was promoted to the fifth rank.
If he were just a son, that would be fine, but Sheng Hong was also very good at choosing sons-in-law. His eldest son-in-law, Yuan Wenshao, was now the commander of the heroic cavalry army, with an official rank of fifth rank.
The sixth son-in-law, Gu Tingye, inherited the title of Marquis Ningyuan and was the deputy commander of the bodyguard and horse army.
The fifth son-in-law, Wen Yanjing, could not be compared with the other two, but he also passed the Jinshi examination and entered an official career.
Only the fourth son-in-law, Liang Han, was the worst. Although he got a Yin Feng, he was the right servant of the ninth rank and entered the palace as a palace guard.
In addition, there is a daughter from the eldest family of the Sheng family who married into the Huining Hou Mansion. She is now also the commander of the cavalry army, with an official rank of fifth rank.
After counting it all in detail, Wang Shiping sometimes felt that his family was in bad luck.
Li Hao naturally didn't know about Wang Shiping's various thoughts.
Of course, even if he knew about it, Li Hao wouldn't have any good impressions. After all, compared to confiscating his family and being exiled, the Wang family is now fine.
Anyway, facing Wang Shiping's current attitude, Li Hao accepted it as a matter of course.
As for Kang Haifeng on the other side, his attitude was closer to flattery at this time, which made Li Hao a little unbearable.
In other words, Li Hao didn't pay too much attention to the two of them, otherwise Li Hao would probably feel sick.
At this time, Li Hao's eyes were looking at Aunt Kang who was standing aside. This time she looked much more restrained, not at all as unscrupulous as before.
It was just that he was holding back, but he was really getting better, and Li Hao was still a little bit upset in his heart.
After all, how difficult would it be for someone like Aunt Kang, whose inner feelings have been distorted, to get back to normal again.
As for Li Hao's reaction, no one else noticed it, only Mrs. Wang noticed it.
So he stepped forward and said proactively: "Li Hao, I learned from my son-in-law a few days ago that my eldest daughter had a conflict with you when she was in Yun'an Prison.
I apologize to you on her behalf and hope you can forgive her. "
After hearing this, Li Hao said quickly: "What Mrs. Wang said, considering your age, you are definitely my elder.
There is no reason for elders to apologize to younger generations. How can I afford this? "
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face froze. What does age mean? It doesn't mean that apart from her age, she is not worthy of being his elder.
Moreover, they only said that they couldn't bear it, but they didn't mention any intention of reconciliation. Mrs. Wang felt really uncomfortable hearing this attitude.
But today's family dinner was originally held to ease relations. After all, the Wang family might need Li Hao's help in the future.
So Mrs. Wang reacted and said to Aunt Kang: "Why don't you come over and apologize to Li Hao for your rude collision."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent and looked over.
Except for Mrs. Wang and Zhang Wen, everyone present knew the true appearance of Aunt Kang, and no one really had a good impression.
There happened to be such a scene now, and everyone naturally wanted to see Aunt Kang making a fool of herself to relieve their anger.
As a result, Mrs. Wang suddenly answered: "Mother, what you said is wrong. My sister is also Li Hao's elder."
These words successfully turned everyone's attention from Aunt Kang to Mrs. Wang.
Li Hao actually didn't think anything of it. After all, Li Hao could predict Mrs. Wang's stupidity, so Li Hao could understand whatever Mrs. Wang did.
】
Only Sheng Hong was really depressed at this time. Obviously this matter had nothing to do with his family, but why did Mrs. Wang say this?
Sheng Hong wanted to defend Li Hao, but due to the presence of the Wang family, it was difficult to speak directly.
After being quiet for a few seconds, Li Hao answered: "Haha, this non-apology is an unimportant matter. I'm here today just for everyone to get together, so don't ruin everyone's fun."
But that's what Li Hao said, but Kang Haifeng didn't think so, because if Li Hao could drive him out of Bianjing once, he could naturally do it a second time.
And now Li Hao is more powerful than before. Who knows what kind of remote place Li Hao will go to if he drives him away now.
After his trip to Shu, Kang Haifeng really didn't want to leave Bianjing and suffer anymore.
Dang even said: "I don't care about other things, but whether this is right or wrong still needs to be clearly discussed.
It was indeed my eldest wife who made a mistake at the beginning, and this matter must be explained openly, so I simply asked her to admit her mistake in public today to show her repentance. "
After finishing speaking, he faced Aunt Kang, intending to signal her to submit with his eyes.
But before Kang Haifeng could give a signal, Aunt Kang took the initiative to stand up and said: "It was indeed my words that were offended at the beginning, and I would like to ask Mr. Li to forgive me.
In two days, I will prepare some gifts and go to the old lady's door to apologize to the old lady in person. "
At this time, Li Hao naturally came out and said: "Just talk about some small things, and you don't have to take it too seriously."
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Mrs. Wang stood up again and said, "Since everything is alright, let's go back and take a seat."
There were relatively many people this time, and there were foreign men like Li Hao and Zhang Wen, so we simply sat at separate tables for men and women.
After the dinner, there were no problems with the male guests. They tried to attract each other, of course, mainly Wang Shiping and Kang Haifeng.
Then we talked about what happened in the court recently. Anyway, from Li Hao's point of view, Wang Shiping and Kang Haifeng did not have very good qualifications. It is no wonder that the two of them did not get along well.
When returning to his residence, Li Hao asked Zhang Guifen if anything happened at the female guests' table.
Zhang Guifen replied: "No, Aunt Kang has really calmed down this time. The whole scene was peaceful and gentle. Do you think she has really changed her mind?"
Regarding this question, Li Hao replied: "Nature is easy to change but hard to change. If a person's nature is so easy to change, there won't be so many bad people in the world.
Anyway, I always feel that there is something wrong with her. If you come into contact with her in the future, please pay more attention. "
Zhang Guifen agreed, and then the two chatted for a while. Zhang Guifen mentioned an old relationship between the princess and the prince-in-law, but Li Hao didn't pay much attention at the time.
After returning home, Li Hao returned to his study and started planning. After all, the next appointment he was going to attend was much more important than today's one.
For several days, Li Hao was thinking about how to word it, and then he went to the Shen Mansion full of drafts to have a chat with Shen Tu to see if he could get some official positions.
What Li Hao didn't expect was that as soon as his name was exchanged at the gate of Shen Mansion, the guy who came out to greet him would be Qi Heng.
Of course, as the son-in-law of the Shen family, it is reasonable for Qi Heng to come out.
But with Qi Heng present, how could he and Shen Tu have just discussed the issue of being an official? With Qi Heng's unworldly temperament, he would probably be upset on the spot.
There is no other way, Li Hao can only take one step at a time.
