At this moment, Xu Wenhui and Xu Wenzhao were also riding out of the mansion in a carriage.

Prepare to attend the housewarming party of Shen Congxing's family!

After all, Shen Congxing is also the uncle of the state. This can be regarded as the first time that Yuzhou generals have appeared in Bianjing City to hold a banquet. It somewhat represents the face of the royal family. It would be bad not to participate!
As for the Shen family’s special invitation to Xu Wenzhao this time,
Xu Wenhui also made some guesses,

Perhaps seeing that he had no hope of getting engaged here, he decided to pursue Xu Wenzhao!
After all, this reluctant marriage can be regarded as marrying into the Xu family! This is an important step in recruiting the Xu family!
Although I don't know who Xu Wenzhao's marriage partner is, as long as he is a relative of those in Yuzhou and has a connection with the royal family, Xu Wenhui doesn't care!
His attitude towards the emperor Zhao Zongquan is impartial. All business affairs are done in an official manner, no matter what happens to you or me!
Speaking of which, Xu Wenhui originally found a job for Xu Wenzhao in the suburbs of Beijing.

Later, the Xu Wenpin incident happened. In order to appease the second roommate,
Coupled with the strong request of the old lady at home, Xu Wenzhao also took advantage of the 'change of leadership' opportunity to be transferred back to Bianjing! Entered the Imperial City Division!

Became a counselor next to Yuan Wenshao!
Yuan Wenshao got his wish this time and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, which can be regarded as entering the ranks of senior military attachés!

On the way to Shen's house, Xu Wenhui and Xu Wenzhao chatted with each other!

"Wen Zhao, you just arrived at the Imperial City Division. How are you doing your errands now? Are you still getting used to it?"

"Back to eldest brother, everything is fine. The second brother of the Yuan family takes good care of me for the sake of eldest brother! He also taught me a lot of things!"

"Well, that's good! Now that the Imperial City Department is newly built, there are a lot of things going on. As you serve next to the second brother of the Yuan family, you should take care of others' worries. Don't do whatever you want just because of our family's relationship. Do you hear me?"

"I know, brother! I have just arrived in the Imperial City Division now, and I am not familiar with some things. I must read more and learn more, and I will not act rashly or embarrass our Xu family!"

"Ah That's good!"

After chatting for a while, the relationship between the two was awkward and there was not much to say. Xu Wenhui just leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest!
Xu Wenzhao seemed to still have something to say, but he was worried about his relationship with Xu Wenhui. Seeing that Xu Wenhui had closed his eyes, although he hesitated to speak, he finally sighed slightly and shook his head but still did not speak!
Even though Xu Wenhui closed his eyes, the carriage was not very spacious, so he was still aware of Xu Wenzhao's movements when he was so close.
He estimated that Xu Wenzhao might be aware of the marriage and wanted to ask himself some questions!
It’s just that Xu Wenzhao didn’t ask until the end, so Xu Wenhui just pretended that he didn’t know!
It is normal for the children of aristocratic families to marry. Although those in Yuzhou are not as interesting as the old nobles in Bianjing City,
But if you get the glory of the family, you have to help the family fulfill its obligations!

Moreover, Xu Wenhui really doesn’t know about it now. He doesn’t know which Yuzhou general’s family member he is, so he has nothing to reveal to Xu Wenzhao!
After a while,

The carriage finally stopped,

I heard the coachman report that he had arrived at the right place.
Xu Wenhui opened his eyes, nodded to Xu Wenzhao to get out of the carriage, and then got off the carriage first!

As soon as he got off the car, Xu Wenhui saw Shen Congxing and his wife bringing many people to the carriage to greet them!
This is somewhat too much of a courtesy.
The Shen family was doing business today, so it was normal to greet them at the door.

But running up to this carriage was a little too enthusiastic.
Xu Wenhui quickly got out of the car and exchanged greetings.

"Haha, congratulations to General Shen on his new move!"

Shen Congxing held up his hands with the same enthusiasm and said with a smile:

"Oh, no, General Xu is a distinguished guest that I can't even invite on weekdays. It will be really radiant for you to come to my mansion!"

"Well, this house is nice. It's my uncle after all. It's just extraordinary. At first I was thinking about who the official family could give this house to, but I let my uncle take the lead! Haha!"

"Haha, that's because you didn't speak, General Xu. If you did, there wouldn't be anything to do with me!"

Next to them, Zou Jiaojiao and Shen Congxing's sister Shen Congying were standing hand in hand.
Seeing that the carriage Xu Wenhui was riding in when he arrived was not very luxurious, and he did not bring many servants with him, and it was not very grand, he muttered:
"What? Brother-in-law, didn't he say that the Xu family is one of the best in Bianjing? This doesn't look very good! There are not many servants to serve! This is too low!"

In order to make Zou Jiaojiao behave better, her elder sister Zou specially praised the Xu family. But now when she saw that the scene was different from what she thought, Zou Jiaojiao was a little disappointed!

Shen Congying didn't know that she was almost listed as a marriage partner with Xu Wenhui, so she didn't feel much about it.
Hearing Zou Jiaojiao's muttering, he pulled Zou Jiaojiao's arm and reminded:

"Okay, Jiaojiao! Keep your voice down, don't let others hear it! Today is a happy day in our house, how bad it is for people to hear it!"

"Tch, so what if you heard it? Do the Xu family still dare to blame us?"

Zou Jiaojiao curled her lips when she heard this, a little disapproving. Her brother-in-law is now the uncle of the country! King Huan’s direct uncle!
The Xu family is said to be rich and noble, isn't this also Baba's visit to give gifts?

But after hearing Shen Congying's instructions and remembering her sister's previous instructions, her muttering voice became much quieter this time!

Shen Congying didn't hear clearly either, thinking that Zou Jiaojiao was paying attention, so she didn't care!
At this time, Zou Jiaojiao looked at Xu Wenzhao behind Xu Wenhui. Based on their positions, she estimated that Xu Wenzhao was her future marriage partner.
Seeing that Xu Wenzhao looks handsome and beautiful, tall and straight! I couldn't help but take a second look!

Shen Congying obviously also knew about the possible marriage between Zou Jiaojiao and the second wife of the Xu family. Seeing Zou Jiaojiao staring at Xu Wenzhao, she laughed softly:

"How's it going? This second-in-law son of the Xu family is pretty good, isn't he? I heard that he has been promoted to seventh rank this time at such a young age!"

Zou Jiaojiao was slightly satisfied with Xu Wenzhao's appearance, but she curled her lips disapprovingly on her face.
"Tch, he's just a seventh-grade sesame official, what's the point! My brother-in-law is also young, he's already a third-grade official! He's still far behind compared to my brother-in-law!"

Shen Congying and Zou Jiaojiao grew up together. Seeing that Zou Jiaojiao was a bit duplicitous, she reached out and tapped Zou Jiaojiao and said with a smile:
"Hey, look at you like that, just pretend!"

"Who is pretending, cut it!"

At this time, Shen Congxing and Xu Wenhui finished their greetings and introduced Xu Wenhui's family members.
"This is my wife, Zou...this is Quanzi...this is my sister-in-law..."

Xu Wenhui also greeted everyone one by one. When it was Zou Jiaojiao's turn, he frowned slightly.
He heard clearly what this person just said about looking down on his own family.

Listening to the words just now, this woman is Xu Wenzhao's marriage partner? This doesn’t look like a lady at all!

Seeing Zou Jiaojiao's arrogant look, and then hearing Shen Congxing's introduction, Xu Wenhui thought of who this person was!
Speaking of which, when watching the TV series, Xu Wenhui still had some impression of Miss Zou!
In the TV series, Shen Congxing's eldest wife, the Zou family, was murdered. In order to preserve the relationship with the Shen family and share their wealth, the Zou family married Shen Congxing as a concubine.
Because Mrs. Zou died to rescue the queen, so because of her meritorious service to the royal family, this little Mrs. Zou was regarded as a noble concubine, and she had a royal decree!
As a result, this little Zou family was given the title of concubine. Not only did she not be careful about restraint, but she was careful in her words and deeds!

On the contrary, I couldn't figure out how to fight with the official eldest daughter of the Shen family at that time, Zhang Guifen, the daughter of the British family, and ended up in house arrest! Well deserved!
Such a person is now going to marry into the Xu family? Isn’t this nonsense? Don’t talk about helping the Xu family and the royal family to strengthen the connection. If it doesn’t hinder me, it will be me, Amitabha!

Without asking Xu Wenzhao's opinion, Xu Wenhui was already done with this marriage and was too lazy to argue with this little Zou family.

Xu Wenhui nodded slightly with an expressionless face, which was regarded as saying hello, and then looked at the next person and waited for Shen Congxing to introduce him!

Shen Congxing didn't pay much attention to it. After all, his sister-in-law Zou Jiaojiao Yunying was unmarried and a member of the inner house. Xu Wenhui didn't say anything and just nodded to indicate it, which was enough! Not rude!

So Shen Congxing passed his sister-in-law enthusiastically and prepared to introduce the next one,
"General Xu, this is my brother-in-law Zou Zhaokang..."

Unexpectedly, something happened to Zou Jiaojiao at this time.

It turned out that Zou Jiaojiao saw that Xu Wenhui didn't pay much attention to her, and his eyes were not so friendly, so she felt that Xu Wenhui looked down on her, and that Xu Wenhui didn't take her as a 'relative of the emperor' in his eyes.

I haven't even married yet, how dare someone from the Xu family disgrace me? If you get married, wouldn't you be angry every day? Is this okay?

So Zou Jiaojiao was originally bending her knees to salute Xu Wenhui. When she saw this, she immediately stood up, then raised her eyes and muttered in a sinister manner:

"Some people look ordinary, but they are really big on airs. Who can show them with a straight face? When I entered the palace to see Your Majesty and the Queen, I have never seen anyone showing off like this!"

The implication is that Xu Wenhui is blamed for being more arrogant than the emperor and empress!
Zou Jiaojiao muttered loudly, and everyone present listened to it in confusion!

"Jiaojiao, shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Shh... Jiaojiao, what are you talking about!"

Mrs. Zou and Shen Congying were so frightened that they quickly pulled Zou Jiaojiao's arm, but Zou Jiaojiao looked unconvinced! But after all, seeing how nervous my sister and Shen Congying were, they didn't mutter anything anymore!
Shen Congxing obviously heard this, but he was indecisive, and he was his sister-in-law. Seeing his wife's expression begging for mercy, the public couldn't bear to blame her too much, so they just wanted to fool Xu Wenhui, so they didn't introduce the rest to Xu Wenhui. relatives,

He deliberately slapped his head and made an annoyed and enthusiastic gesture, then stretched out his hand to make a sign of invitation and laughed loudly:
"Oh, haha, look at my head, I'm really confused. I'm neglecting General Xu. Come on, come on, General Xu, please come inside, please come inside! Don't delay when the wind and sun are blowing outside, I Let me tell you, I specially asked for a few bottles of good wine from His Majesty, so we need to drink a few more glasses!"

The few people next to him were probably Yuzhou generals, but they were in low-level positions. Before they could be introduced, when they heard what Shen Congxing said, they all agreed without even caring about it!

"Yes, yes, there is good wine in the house. General, let's invite it in the house!"

"Yes, yes, oh, speaking of it, the sun is a little bit harsh today, let's go in quickly!"

"General, please come quickly, please come quickly! King Huan will be arriving soon, and he will see us all standing at the door. What's going on? You'd better hurry in!"

What do you mean, are you trying to use the Emperor and Prince Huan to suppress me?
Xu Wenhui actually didn't care who Xu Wenzhao's marriage partner was!

As long as it's fair, it's fine. After all, she is Xu Wenzhao's wife! Although he is somewhat related to me, it is not that big after all!

But this little Zou family is obviously a mess. If she marries her, the family will definitely be uneasy, and maybe the Xu family will also have problems!

Xu Wenhui has some opinions, and he also has a lot of opinions about Shen Congxing. You might as well introduce such a virtuous person to my Xu family. Who are you looking down on?
Now seeing that Shen Congxing was still trying to fool He Xini, these Yuzhou people were also making noises. Of course Xu Wenhui was not happy.
Instead of going in as they wanted, he stopped, turned around, looked at little Zou, and saw that she still had her nostrils turned up in the sky, looking disapproving, so she turned around to Shen Congxing, her face expressionless. He asked with an expression:

"General Shen, it seems that your Shen family has a lot of dissatisfaction with me! Could it be that I have offended your Shen family in some way? I want to show off to me, Mr. Xu, in public!"

Xu Wenzhao next to him also had an angry look on his face when he saw this. Although he didn't know that Zou Jiaojiao was his blind date, the way Zou Jiaojiao looked down on the Xu family just now made him a little unbearable, so he immediately asked for permission. He looked at Xu Wenhui and said:

"Brother, it seems that the Shen family doesn't welcome us, otherwise we should go back! We kindly came to congratulate the Shen family, who would have thought that we would be treated like this!"

Xu Wenhui neither agreed nor objected, but turned to look at Shen Congxing!

After all, Shen Congxing is also the uncle of the state. To a certain extent, it is also related to the face of the emperor and the queen. Xu Wenhui should not go too far directly.

So I am going to give Shen Congxing a chance to see how he handles it under his own pressure. If he can handle it, Xu Wenhui will also save some face for Shen Congxing!

Shen Congxing did not expect Xu Wenhui and Xu Wenzhao to react like this. He thought that his uncle had a lot of face, and the Xu brothers should just go along and pretend they didn't see it. Being humiliated, Shen Congxing was immediately embarrassed, but he didn't dare He let the Xu brothers leave like this, so he quickly apologized.

"Oh, General Xu, you have misunderstood. How can our Shen family have any objection to you, General? No! Absolutely not! This is really a misunderstanding!"

As he spoke, Xu Wenhui still looked expressionless, knowing that his words were unfounded. Xu Wenhui was looking at the results of his own treatment.

He wanted to punish his aunt severely, but when he saw the pleading look in his wife Zou's eyes, Shen Congxing couldn't speak! I was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to do, but I was in the cold place! (End of chapter)
