Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 342 She is here too
Shi Di was again the "matchmaker" instructed by Han Dun to bring up the marriage. It was obvious that this game was not easy.

While changing his clothes, King Yan raised his lips: "The two servants of the household department and the left servant of the military department are here. If I insist on refusing, do you think it's appropriate?"

Every spring is the time for various ministries to apply for and approve their salaries. Although the imperial court dare not deduct the military salaries of the five armies' governor's mansions, in the end the face of the various ministries has to be maintained.

In previous years, Xiao Huai would go with him in this kind of situation, and he didn't dare to expect King Yan to attend the appointment.

But this year Shi Di invited him directly, and brought so many servants, if King Yan insisted on refusing, it would not be like his usual casual style.

He Lanzhun immediately sent a message to Huo Jiu.

After standing in the corridor, he called someone to ask where Xiao Huai and Shen Xi were going, and finally went back to his room to change clothes.

Two quarters of an hour later Huo Jiu also arrived. He took off his official uniform and changed into a purple brocade robe. The noble attire concealed the hostility between his brows and eyes, highlighting his heroic spirit.

King Yan didn't take a chariot, but rode on "Huang Dian", and went to Cuihu with the two of them and their guards.

The outstanding appearance and mighty temperament attracted the envious eyes of many people along the way. All the way to Dongxiang Tower, Shi Di, who had got the news earlier, and several servants had already greeted him downstairs, smiling slightly and bowing to each other.

"Welcome to your lord." Shi Di said as he led Yan Wang upstairs.

The servants greeted He Lanzhun and Huo Jiu.

Upstairs, the shopkeeper in the corridor immediately opened the door. This wing is not the largest in the east wing, but it is still very spacious, and there is a corner terrace on the south side. The terrace faces the courtyard and the lake. scene.

The yard is not big, but there are many strange stones, against the background of a few early-blooming camellias and vines, it is also unique.

And there are moon gates leading to other places in the east and west of the small courtyard, and the outline of the Dongxiang Tower can be seen slightly.

It's not that He Lanzhun and Huo Jiu have never been here before, and they are still very familiar with each other. With just one look, the guards found a good position and stood there tacitly.

"It's rare to invite the lord to come out for a gathering. I specially called 'Sai Zhaojun' to play two songs to add to the fun. The lord will try this tea first."

After taking his seat, Shi Di smiled to King Yan who was sitting behind the North Noodles case.

The Great Qin strictly prohibited officials from prostitutes, but the Great Zhou couldn't help it. Private gatherings of scholars, Confucian scholars, etc., it is common for a few singing and dancing girls to appear on stage.

Standing proudly in the officialdom, King Yan has long been accustomed to seeing the wind and moon, so he only raised his lips and smiled, and then "Sai Zhaojun" walked in with a pipa in his arms.

Xiao Huai, who was walking by the lake with Shen Xi, saw a purple-clothed guard standing on a certain balcony of Dongxiang Building from a distance, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he picked up a small pot of Jianlan in the flower basket in front of him.

"My lord is in Dongxiang Tower. Dongxiang Tower is just adjacent to our Zuixian Tower.

"If I remember correctly, it is very likely that the wing room we booked is not more than five feet away from where they are. Moreover, you can see it when you push the window."

He looked at the flowers and said.

When Shen Xi heard this, he couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of Dongxiang Tower. After a while, he finally saw several figures in purple clothes.

After two dynasties and several generations of development, the circle around Cuihu Lake has become a recreational place like a huge garden.

These time-honored restaurants and teahouses in the surrounding areas gradually lost their clear boundaries. In order to facilitate the visits of dignitaries and dignitaries, two adjacent shops often have their own doors connected to each other.

King Yan has already arrived, so people from the Han family must appear soon.

In fact, Shen Xi only knew that something would happen in such a lively place today, but he couldn't imagine what would happen.

Han Ning had already been humiliated once at the palace, so she probably wouldn't be able to take the initiative to approach King Yan again.

However, Han Dun is currently planning to let her become Princess Yan. If there is no trouble between King Yan and Han Ning, what else will it be?

"Second Sister! Prince!" He was lowering his head and concentrating, when Shen Yan's voice suddenly came from his ear, "Why are you still here? There is a show over there!"

Shen Yan and her maid stood in front of her, pointed to the lake bank, and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Where are Aunt and Eldest Sister?" Shen Xi looked behind her.

"They were being pestered and chattered by the female family members of the Yang family. I felt bored, so I came here by myself."

Speaking of this, a trace of unnaturalness slipped across Shen Yan's face, and Shen Xi caught it.

"Hurry up, why don't you and the third younger sister go shopping first, I'll do something, and I'll come back to you." Shen Xi was about to ask her, but Xiao Huai put down the orchid in his hand, and started talking to himself.

He also told Shen Yan: "Sister Yan, stay with my sister well, and later my brother-in-law will treat you to something delicious."

Shen Xi could see that he was absent-minded, and knew that he was definitely heading towards Han Dun, so he nodded and watched him leave.

Shen Yan shook her arm and pursed her lips and smiled: "Did you hear that? You asked me to call you brother-in-law."

"Be more serious, there may be something to do today." Shen Xi patted her, then calmed down and said, "Can you see Han Ning coming?"

Shen Yan is not very clear about Han Dun's recent affairs, but she can roughly sense the depth from her usual words.

Therefore, he frowned and said: "I didn't see it all the way here, but I heard that it has come.

"Han Dun seems to have booked a box at the Moon Tower, and all the sisters from the Han family have come, but the strange thing is that the Mu family has also come."

"The Mu family is here too?" Shen Xi was a little surprised.

Since Han Dun wanted to coax Queen Mother Zheng, how could he ignore her mood?Therefore, there are few rumors that the couple went out and entered together in these years.

But on such an occasion today, Mu Shi was brought here. Is it to cover up the purpose behind it deliberately, or is it for something?
In the box of Wangyue Tower, Han Dun and his wife brought Han Ning and Han Min to take their seats, and immediately an official sent a post to visit him.

So Han Dun had no choice but to take Mu Shi out to socialize outside.

In fact, Han Ning didn't understand why Han Dun brought Mu Shi with him.If it's just to cover up people's eyes and ears, obviously Mu's absence is also fine.

She turned around and told him tactfully about the 3000 taels last time. She thought he would at least reprimand Mrs. Mu, but he didn't say anything.

Of course, Han Dun wasn't a vegetarian either. Although he made up the money for her sake, it was Han Min's trick after all.

Looking back, Han Min still suffered a lot after all. He knelt in the Buddhist hall for two hours and almost couldn't even come to today's flower fair.

"Most of the women's relatives are watching the theater at the Liuli Hall on the east bank, so you should go for a walk too."

While drinking tea here, Han Dun and Mrs. Mu suddenly opened the curtain and came in again: "Let your sister-in-law accompany you. There are many people today, be careful, and don't cause any trouble, especially Miss Min."

He was talking about Sister Min, but he looked deeply at Han Ning.

Han Ning agreed, and gave Han Min a warning look.

Looking at Mu Shi again, Mu Shi always had a just right smile on his face, which made it difficult for people to see the slightest clue.
