Seeing that Shen Congxing was stunned and did not deal with it,
Xu Wenhui suddenly lost his patience.

He has never seen such an indecisive idiot. Anyway, the cause of this matter is not his own, and he is too lazy to talk nonsense.
Said directly:

"I'm sorry, Uncle Guo. I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do at home, so I'm leaving now! Wen Zhao, keep the gift and let's go back!"

After saying that, he walked straight out without looking at the crowd!
When Xu Wenzhao heard this, he immediately handed the gift box he was holding to a butler-like figure and said,
"This is a housewarming gift from our family to your uncle, keep it!"

Then he followed Xu Wenhui into the carriage without looking back!
Only then did Shen Congxing react and hurriedly followed up and stretched out his hand to stop Xu Wenhui.

"General Xu stayed behind, General Xu stayed behind, this is all a misunderstanding!"

It's a pity that Xu Wenhui just pretended not to hear it, ordered the carriage and drove away from here!

Seeing this, Shen Congxing could only sigh helplessly and put his hands down!
He knew in his heart that Xu Wenhui was dissatisfied with his failure to deal with his sister-in-law's affairs, and now the marriage was probably completely out of the question!
I don’t know how the emperor’s brother-in-law would blame himself!

Alas, a good situation was messed up like this!
The few generals from Yuzhou and the brothers from the Zou family nearby were not very knowledgeable and didn’t know much about what was going on.
Seeing Xu Wenhui walking away without giving any face, his face looked a little ugly.
These days, they have been exposed to colored eyes from people like Bianjing. They were already sensitive to these things, but now that they saw Xu Wenhui acting like this, they even started shouting.
"General Xu is too temperamental. It's just such a trivial matter. What's more!"

"That's right, Brother Shen is a dignified uncle of the state. By doing this, General Xu clearly doesn't take the official family and his wife seriously!"

"Yes! Yes! Brother Shen! We can't just let this matter go! Otherwise, they will look down on us Yuzhou people even more!"

"That's right, brother-in-law, this Xu Wenhui clearly doesn't take us seriously. If you ask me, let's go find the official, King Huan! I want to see if he dares to be so arrogant in front of the official!"

"That's right, that's right! Too arrogant!"

When Shen Congxing heard these people making noises, he immediately couldn't hold back his anger and pointed at these people and cursed:
"Fart! Shut up! What do you know! The officials are troubled enough! If we can't help them share their worries, how can we actually cause trouble for them! I'm warning you, if anyone dares to do this again If you cause any more trouble, I won't forgive you!"

Shen Congxing has a special status and still has some prestige in front of this group of people. When he gets angry, others will bow their heads and dare not speak anymore!
These people didn't dare, but Zou Jiaojiao didn't have that scruple. She couldn't bear to see her brother-in-law's weak behavior, so she immediately interjected:
"Brother-in-law, aren't you trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige! So what if Xu Wenhui is a general? To put it bluntly, he is still a servant of the royal family! Didn't you see that he left in despair just now? I think he must be afraid Oh... Ouch..."

"You bastard! Shut up!"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Congxing couldn't bear it anymore and went up and slapped Zou Jiaojiao! Then he pointed at Zou Jiao and cursed:
"I think I have spoiled you so much that you are now lawless! You are a dignified second-ranked member of the imperial court, but you still dare to talk nonsense!"

Zou Jiaojiao obviously didn't expect that her brother-in-law, who always loved her, would take action against her. She covered her cheeks and widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Brother-in-law, you actually hit me!"

It happened so suddenly that no one else expected it to happen. They quickly stepped forward to dissuade Shen Congxing!

Especially Mrs. Zou, she burst into tears when she saw her husband beating her sister!

"Officer, Jiaojiao is young and ignorant. She can just scold her a few times. How can she be beaten?"

……

After Xu Wenzhao got on the carriage, he was not as determined and indifferent as he had just shown.
Looking at Xu Wenhui hesitantly asked:

"Brother, let's just leave. Is everything okay? So Shen Congxing is the uncle of the state after all, and it's his first time hosting a banquet. Will the officials like us have any thoughts...?"

Xu Wenhui actually had some favorable impressions of Xu Wenzhao's performance just now. This boy was able to cooperate with him and live up to his reputation. He didn't speak until now, and his performance was very good! Hearing this he smiled and said:

"It's okay. What's the matter? We just need to deal with something at the last moment. Besides, didn't we leave a gift? We have done our best!" Seeing that Xu Wenzhao was still a little worried, Xu Wenhui continued:

"Haha, don't worry, I will go to the palace later and apologize to the officials!"

Although he said that he had ruined the face of Shen Congxing's family by walking away, he didn't do anything wrong. At least he left some gifts behind, so that's all! It still gives the emperor some face!

If you go back and pretend to apologize to the emperor, no one will be able to say anything!
After all, in the final analysis, the cause of this matter lies with the Shen family!
As he said this, he thought about the fact that the Shen family was going to marry Xu Wenzhao today, so he continued:

"By the way, I'm afraid it has disturbed your marriage! Are you not disappointed?"

When Xu Wenzhao saw that Xu Wenhui said that he would go to the emperor alone to apologize, he felt a little relieved.
Although Shen Congxing is nothing, he is still connected to the Queen after all.
Especially at this moment when the emperor and empress are united, if they can ask the emperor to apologize, it will save the royal family's face, and then there will be no problem!

After hearing Xu Wenhui's slightly teasing words, Xu Wenzhao immediately shook his head and said:

"What do I have to be disappointed about? Brother can make the decision! Besides, I really don't like the appearance of the Shen family!"

When Xu Wenhui heard what Xu Wenzhao said, he nodded slightly in agreement. To be honest, he also looked down upon Shen Congxing's family.

If it weren't for a sister who married the lucky Zhao Zongquan, the Shen family would be nothing!
After thinking about it, what happened today can be regarded as embarrassing the royal family.

Although it is okay to just apologize, there are still some hidden dangers. After all, it is just a trivial matter, and it cannot lead to a quarrel with the emperor!

For the sake of long-term peace and stability, it is better to compromise a little, and the marriage cannot be completely let go!
Anyway, he was not the one getting married, so Xu Wenhui pondered for a moment, then looked at Xu Wenzhao and said:
"Wen Zhao! Although the Shen family is in trouble, other families in Yuzhou still have to consider it!
Looking back on this matter, you can ask someone to inquire first to see which girl has better conduct. Then I will find someone to help you talk about it! "

Xu Wenzhao didn't expect to marry those people in Yuzhou. To be honest, seeing Zou Jiaojiao's virtue just now, he was a little reluctant.
But he also knew that he had no choice in this matter, so he nodded silently after hearing this!

Seeing that Xu Wenzhao understood, Xu Wenhui didn't explain too much.

Xu Wenhui can be regarded as fulfilling his cousin's responsibility if he can help Xu Wenzhao take the initiative to choose his wife!

There is nothing going on next. Xu Wenhui is going to Fan Lou for a drink. Fan Lou has launched some new dishes in the past two days, and they taste pretty good.

Thinking that Xu Wenzhao was considered a family marriage, his brother had to encourage him a little, so he looked at Xu Wenzhao and asked for his opinion.
"Do you have anything else to do later? Do you want to go to Fanlou for a drink? Fanlou has made some good new dishes in the past two days. You can try it!"

"Okay, it's a rare treat for big brother, so I have to go!" Xu Wenhui invited Xu Wenzhao, so naturally Xu Wenzhao would not refuse, not to mention that he really had nothing else to do if he didn't go to the Shen family today!

At that moment, the two of them did not go back to their home, but went to Fanlou instead!
……

On the Shen family's side,

Xu Wenhui left not long ago,
King Huan Zhao Ceying drove over in a carriage.

Those Yuzhou people did not lie to Xu Wenhui about this. Today, King Huan is indeed coming to his uncle's house to congratulate his uncle on his move!
Of course,
In fact, King Huan didn't care about these superficial things.
The main thing is to take advantage of this opportunity to build a good relationship with the old nobles and established forces invited here!

The emperor's identity is there. There are some things that he can't personally come forward for, so he has to come over as his son!

King Huan is also in a very good mood today.

After all, it will be good for his future if he comes forward to make these connections. Although he is the emperor's eldest son, who can say clearly what will happen in the future!
The connections you hold in your hands are yours!

So for today's banquet, King Huan has made a lot of preparations!

But I didn't expect that as soon as I got off the carriage, I saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere in front of Shen's house.
It seemed like something had happened, it didn't look like a wedding banquet!
He couldn't help but walked straight to Shen Congxing, frowned and asked:

"Uncle, what's wrong? What happened?"

Shen Congxing lost his temper and didn't see his nephew King Huan coming.

Hearing this, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"It turns out that His Highness is here, but the minister didn't arrive in time..."

When others saw King Huan, they also saluted quickly!
King Huan waved his hand, stepped forward to help Shen Congxing up, and interrupted his polite words.

"Okay, okay, that's enough for us nephews and uncles to talk about!"

He saw that his aunt Zou's eyes were red and she was wiping her tears just now! He thought there was some conflict between his uncle and aunt, so he asked Shen Congxing in a low voice:
"What's wrong, uncle, are you having a quarrel with my aunt? I said you are too. My aunt is such a wise person, how could you have a quarrel with her? This must be your fault, right?"

King Huan still respected his aunt Zou very much. When he was in Yuzhou,
His father Zhao Zongquan lived a cautious life, so the atmosphere at home was naturally not much better.

King Huan ran to his uncle's house when he had nothing to do! His aunt took care of him in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is no exaggeration to say that Zou was as good as half his mother!

When Shen Congxing heard King Huan's joke, he was speechless!

At this time, Zou Jiaojiao saw the support coming, and immediately broke away from the arms of Zou and Shen Congying, ran to King Huan and cried:
"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me. Some people looked down on us and slandered your uncle and aunt. I couldn't stand it. I said a few more words, and your uncle slapped me instead! Wuwuwu..."

As soon as he heard that someone was insulting his uncle and aunt, King Huan immediately became very angry and asked sharply:

"What? Who is so bold and dares to cause trouble in the Shen Mansion? Who is so rude! Just say it's okay, and I will never let that person go!"

Seeing how angry King Huan was, Zou Jiaojiao was very excited, thinking that someone could finally give Xu Wenhui a look, and said quickly:
"That's from the Xu family..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Congxing stood up and glared at his sister-in-law and cursed:
"Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, go back to Yuzhou!"

Then he cursed at his wife Zou:

"Why are you crying? You know how to cry. Look at the good sister you brought. Don't embarrass me here. Drag her back quickly! She is not allowed to step out of the house without my instructions!"

"Uncle, what's going on?"

King Huan did not expect that his uncle Shen Congxing would react so strongly, and he immediately became suspicious.
He still knew his uncle's temper, and it wasn't too strong. This kind of situation was rare.

Suddenly thinking of what Zou Jiaojiao was talking about about the Xu family, Prince Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled Shen Congxing and asked directly:
"Uncle, is General Xu here?"

When Shen Congxing saw that King Huan noticed it, his eyes dodged.

"This……"

"Oh, what time has it been? Tell me what happened!"

Shen Congxingye knew he couldn't hide it, so he waved his hand to drive everyone else away, and then took Prince Huan to whisper what happened!
King Huan's head exploded as soon as he heard this. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Xu Wenhui about their friendship.
Xu Wenhui is the youngest among the nobles, and he holds a lot of power!
If nothing else, he will have a place in the Zhou Dynasty at least within a few decades, and he will be the most respected minister of King Huan!
I didn’t expect that I would offend someone before I even got into a relationship! What the hell is this!

Even his uncle Shen Congxing, who was not decisive enough in dealing with things, also complained a little.
"Uncle! Why are you so confused! How good would it be for you to give me an explanation in the name of General Xu? It's not too late to talk to my aunt later. Look at how messed up you are!
Now it's great, I've offended someone! When word of this gets out, these people in Bianjing still don’t know what to say about us Yuzhou people!

Originally we were in a bit of a difficult situation! Hey...how am I going to explain this to my father this time? "

Shen Congxing obviously knew the current situation. Hearing this, he patted the back of his head in annoyance.

"Oh, I didn't think so much at the time! Who would have thought that Xu Wenhui would take such a trivial matter seriously! He is a great general of the Privy Council, but he has such a small mind..."

"Okay, you're being unfair, and you're blaming others for taking advantage of others' excuses! Think about what you should do in the future!"

In fact, Prince Huan had no idea about Xu Wenhui. After all, Shen Congxing was his uncle, so he didn't give him any face!

But right now, the father and son have no power, so even if they are dissatisfied, it is hard to express them!
Being complained by King Huan, Shen Congxing also felt a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, it was his family that had the problem, and he said tentatively:

"How about I go to Xu's house to apologize to General Xu tonight?" (End of Chapter)
