Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 214

Wen Shuyan had mixed feelings in his heart, but seeing Lin Baozhu leaning over to salute without losing his sense of proportion, he felt a little bitter in his heart.But after all, he is a person who has been in the market for a long time, even though he is sad, he still doesn't show it.

"Madam came to the capital, but to watch the general enter the city?" Wen Shuyan cupped his hands naturally, and then smiled, "I just saw the general's heroic appearance, and Shuyan really admired him."

Even though he was pleased with Lin Baozhu, he still couldn't say that a wild man in the mountains was not worthy of Lin Baozhu.Not to mention that Zhang Mantun is now a general protecting the country, he is no longer comparable to a businessman, even if he is still a villain in Taoshuwan, as long as he is loving, it is impossible for Wen Shuyan to say such rude words .

The two knew each other already, and Wen Shuyan kept his feelings hidden so well that even the servants who served him didn't realize it.Naturally, let alone Lin Baozhu, she didn't think about that at all.After all, no matter how much her own man praises and cares about her, she is not so narcissistic that she thinks that she is a fairy and everyone likes her.

Now seeing that Wen Shuyan takes good care of Zhang Ji and respects himself, I think it is because of the smooth cooperation between the two businesses that both have benefited.Or, now that her man can be regarded as a general and marquis, it will be somewhat different.

So after saluting, the two of them didn't exchange more polite greetings, and sat down directly to let the shopkeeper go and choose some refreshments in person.

After everyone was seated, Lin Baozhu smiled and said: "The general has the power of a general, but the young master also has the look of the young master, why are you making fun of me?"

Wen Shuyan just said that sentence because of sadness, but he didn't want to be pushed back by Lin Baozhu.However, when he watched Lin Baozhu mention the general, his whole body was full of energy, as if he had a lot of love, which made him feel tight in his chest again.

He found that he was just looking for something uncomfortable, knowing that Lin Baozhu and his husband had a very good relationship, and the two of them were in love with each other, so he had to come up and ask.

It was hard to bear the sourness in my heart, and seeing Lin Baozhu's happy face, it was even more eye-catching.Simply, he put aside what he said just now, and directly talked about business matters.

Today, he is very fortunate that he is doing business with Zhang's family. Even if he can't express his feelings, he can still talk to her about cooperation.

"This year's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was organized by Princess Chenyue, and because the rankings will be released in the near autumn, the princess intends to let several princes, after the Qionglin Banquet, take the No. Jinshi's attendance can be regarded as a lucky draw." Although Wen Shuyan is not from the capital city, he has his own way to inquire about the nobleman, especially since the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was not hidden, and the Wen family also gathered many contacts. You can still get some news.

Lin Baozhu saw that he treated each other honestly and did not hide any secrets, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "What do you think, Young Master?"

In fact, to be honest, she was also a little surprised, didn't she say that the rules are as big as the sky.How can you invite men to a women's banquet?
Seeing Lin Baozhu's strange face, the document made a little guess in his heart, and he could probably guess seven or eight points.

"Firstly, it is a matter of the royal family, and no one dares to criticize anything. Second, this time, the chrysanthemum appreciation feast will also be attended by the female family members of the palace. In order to attract new scholars who have entered the officialdom, the princes have to do something. It is just a pretext. But In fact, women's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet is not in the same yard as men's, according to the habit of nobles gathering in the past, I'm afraid they will find a Zhuangzi or a mansion, divided into the inner courtyard and the front courtyard to entertain them."

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty also had the rules of defense between men and women, it was much looser than the previous dynasties.That is, some remote places still continue the strict rules of the past.Like the capital city, it is not strange for noble girls to go out in groups of three or four for a small gathering, or to visit the lake to enjoy flowers.

And the celebration reception after the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet and Qionglin Banquet has always been a custom.Originally, the two would not have a banquet together, but this year when the princess was ready for marriage, she had been torturing the emperor for a long time before she was allowed to be so presumptuous.It was said to be a reception, but in fact, it was somewhat girlish. There was a saying in ancient times, that girl is not pregnant, and she is a proud daughter of heaven in her [-]th year. Naturally, she wants to find a husband who is unique in ten thousand.

Lin Baozhu nodded, the surprise on her face disappeared for a moment, and when she got the answer, she naturally figured it out.Just like what I saw today, in the teahouses on the street, there are also many women who come out together to watch the ceremony, and some directly throw flowers to show their hearts. No matter how you look at it, they are much more generous and open than the women in Taoshuwan or even Taoxi County.

Moreover, the clothes and make-up are also very bright, so it really fits the explanation of Wen Shuyan.

"Beauty tea has already entered the princess mansion. Yesterday, I just got the news that it was a new tea. The princess was very happy. She named Zhang Ji beauty tea for the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. As for the white cockscomb tea, the Wen family had already put the best one into it. After it was sent to Prince Xiaoyao's mansion, everyone in Da Zhou knew that King Xiaoyao liked tea the most, and Zhang Ji also valued it very much, I guess after the Qionglin banquet, Zhang Ji's white cockscomb must be ordered to entertain guests." Said Da Here, the clerk smiled and said directly, "When Zhang Ji soars into the sky, I should ask my wife to take care of the Wen family."

Seeing the gentle words and jokes of the clerk, Lin Baozhu also laughed and said it was easy to say.It was a good thing in the first place, she didn't have to evade polite greetings, and the clerk spoke frankly, so she responded readily.

After saying these words, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but shook her head with a smile and said: "If Zhang Ji is in the eyes of the nobleman, he can't compare to the Wen family. There will be more things in the future, and the young master still needs to help."

"Come on, don't tell me these nonsense. When the imperial decree comes down later, there will be an endless stream of people coming to ask Zhang Ji to do business, and they will trample down the door of the General's Mansion." After finishing the business Looking at Lin Baozhu's leisurely and carefree appearance drinking tea, talking to himself in a casual and comfortable manner, he simply didn't maintain the ghost image of the young master, and simply gave her a blank look, without any politeness He said, "Left and right Zhang Ji has boarded the Wen family's thief ship, and it is difficult to pick a pick."

Seeing Wen Shuyan's nonchalant expression, Lin Baozhu burst out laughing, and then said: "What the master said is that the left and right writers can't get rid of Zhang Ji and go to make a fortune alone."

After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then raised the teacup in front of them and nodded.

After talking for a while, Lin Baozhu coaxed Da Ya to eat a few snacks, and then heard the story of the general protecting the country's capture of Princess Tana seven times and seven times out on the table under the teahouse, and the group got up to leave.

It was already past Si time, and the welcome crowd outside to watch the ceremony had almost faded away.When Lin Baozhu took Daya to the post station, it was not too crowded.

But Wen Shuyan, who was chatting with a suave appearance just now, watched the beautiful figure go away by the window, and then let out a sigh of relief.For some reason, seeing the back of the woman who was holding the big maid in her hand and turning her head to talk to the maid beside him gradually drifted away, the soreness and pain in his heart also gradually disappeared.

And just when Wen Shuyan was feeling uncomfortable, the dumb beside him came over and said in a low voice: "Master, just now Aunt Fang sent a message saying that she is ill, and she wants you to go over and have a look."

The first time I heard the name Aunt Fang, Wen Shuyan really didn't come back to his senses. When he remembered it, he realized that it was the room he had taken when he settled down in the capital.It is said to be Tongfang, but in fact it is just a maid who serves closely in another courtyard in the capital. It is only because of the friendship of serving for many years that she was kept by her side and was never betrothed to a servant at will.

Forget it, that person shouldn't be what I thought, if I persist in my obsession, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the Wen family in the future.You know, the reason why King Xiaoyao valued Wen family was not only the tea, but also his secret instruction.And that one cared more about Zhang Mandun, the general protecting the country.

Let's talk about the other side, His Highness Prince Rui and Zhang Mandun led three hundred soldiers all the way into the palace gate, while a group of soldiers stopped at Xuanwu Gate and waited quietly.His Royal Highness Prince Rui, Zhang Mantun and his six sons went to the Qianqing Palace with their swords and weapons, and followed the Eunuch Xuan Zhi who was waiting here.

For the soldiers who came back triumphantly, and those who have made great feats that have not been done in a century, the emperor is somewhat jealous, but he is also extremely happy.Now, making an exception to personally welcome people into the court hall outside the Qianqing Palace, after Prince Rui and Zhang Mantun presented the Hun King's head treated with lime, the emperor was even more delighted to praise and encourage him.

When the emperor's commendation decree comes down, it is stated that all the officers and men have made meritorious service, and all officials will be promoted to a higher level.And the teachers of the remaining ten thousand people will be rewarded by the imperial decree, and each will be rewarded with a few taels of silver and a jar of tribute wine.

Later, Zhang Mantun was rewarded with a house and fields, a thousand taels of gold and silver, and countless cultural treasures.Anyway, after reading the imperial decree, Zhang Mandun basically didn't remember it, he only remembered some jade jewelry, and he thought it was just for his wife to wear when he went back.

After kneeling to thank the emperor, Zhang Mantun took a look at His Highness Prince Rui who was still kneeling, and did not act easily.The two of them had discussed in private before, above the court, they pre-emptively returned the seal of military power, firstly to understand the emperor's suspicion, and secondly to show their loyalty to the emperor.

"Report to father, my son has something to play." Before the admiration and congratulations from the court fell, His Royal Highness Qin Jinrui knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Thanks to father's trust, I gave my son to do things cheaply. The minister fulfilled his mission and now returns triumphantly. Now that the emperor's wish has been fulfilled, the people at the border are all grateful for the grace of the emperor. Now the minister will return the commander's seal, and ask the emperor to allow the minister to return to the mansion to cultivate, which can be regarded as letting the minister relax for a while fan."
