Chapter 195

On the day of the reception banquet prepared for King Yu and Princess Yu who had just arrived in the fief, officials of Anyang Mansion, big and small, and some related wealthy businessmen gathered with their wives and family members in a courtyard under the name of the magistrate, in order to see Yu Yu. The demeanor of Wang and his wife made him want to get in touch with the real owner of Prince Yu's mansion.

Not to mention the wealthy businessmen, the officials have already heard the news of the punishment of Steward Li and Nanny Chai. Wouldn't the relevant people be more merciless?

Most of them had tried to win over Steward Li or Nanny Chai. If these two fell, would it be their fault?Is King Yu planning to clean up the officialdom in the entire Anyang Mansion?

The officials are worried, but they try their best to show joy on their faces, so as not to leave a bad impression on the prince when they first meet each other. If you are not pleasing to the top, how can you expect to be promoted in the future?

On the other hand, the female relatives who came with her didn't care at all, and couldn't get involved in the affairs of the man in charge of her own family. They just gathered together in twos and threes, curious about the upcoming Concubine Yu.

There are many rumors about this Princess Yu. She has been neglected for five years, returned with her son, and won the favor of the prince. Being together is very legendary, and people can't wait to see this concubine who is full of topics right away.

But at the same time, they were also worried that Princess Yu had too much halo, and she didn't even look down on her natal relatives, so she might be domineering and difficult to get along with.

These people are familiar with their respective personalities, and they have long had a way to get along with each other in a balanced way. If Princess Yu is not a good person, depending on the identity of the other party, their future life may be difficult.

When these people were so speculative and nervous, Ji Wutian and Qi Susu happily attended.

As soon as the heavyweight protagonist arrived, other guests came to salute and pay their respects one after another. At the same time, they paid attention to Ji Wutian's expression and guessed whether he would attack them today.

Ji Wutian didn't know if he could see the uneasiness in the hearts of these officials, and responded with a few words on his face, and then sat at the main table under the guidance of today's host, Zheng Zhihe, the prefect of Anyang.

As soon as they were seated, the welcome banquet officially began.

A group of officials headed by Zheng Zhifu, and other wealthy businessmen must toast to Ji Wutian, the master of the fief, and say some nice words that should be said in the reception banquet, and show their loyalty and determination without any trace, and test the prince when he first arrives. Does the fief have any plans and needs their assistance.

Qi Susu wasn't interested in these topics, and didn't bother to care about them. According to the thinking that the female family members of the official family should have in this era, let the men worry about the outside affairs, and the female family members don't care.

She has a headache just dealing with the other female relatives who focus on her.

The male guests and the female relatives of the reception banquet had different seats in the same courtyard. Qi Susu's table was filled with a circle of female relatives and some young radish heads no older than seven years old.

The magistrate's wife introduced her to the people at the same table.

The wives of the garrison commander of the Far East Army in Anyang Prefecture, Mrs. Tongzhi, Mrs. Tongpan... Anyway, they are all official wives. The only non-official wife at the main table is Mrs. Bai, the wife of Bai Yuntian, the richest man in Anyang Prefecture.

Well, the richest man has to be treated a little differently from other businessmen.

What's more special is that the sisters-in-law and natal cousins ​​brought by these wives are all in their prime of life, and they are specially brought out at the reception banquet. She has no right to see what kind of thoughts they have. up.

When greeting each other, the wife of acquaintance Shen Luzhou also mentioned that her husband and Ji Hanlin are brothers from the same school, and they have a deep friendship. Qi Susu recalled it for a while before remembering that she had given Ji Hanlin many abortions with the imperial hospital. His wife has seen a doctor.

I don't know if Ji Hanlin specifically mentioned it in a letter with Mr. Shen, or if Shen Tongzhi is so well informed that he can know that she and Ji Hanlin have crossed paths across half of the Great Yin. After all, it is because he wants to get closer to Prince Yu's mansion. It doesn't matter anymore.

Others don't have this kind of way to get connected instantly, so they can only think about other topics.

What can a group of women talk about sitting together?In addition to the gossip of each family, that is to say, the children.

Qi Susu had just arrived in Anyang Mansion and met them for the first time. It was not good to talk about other people's affairs right away. Didn't the princess bring out the prince for me to recognize?"

Qi Susu smiled slightly: "The body of a child is not as good as that of an adult, and he was exhausted on the journey. He hasn't completely rested yet, so my concubine will leave him in the palace to continue resting."

The truth is that Ji Xiaoyang personally doesn't want to go out with them to deal with this kind of entertainment. He would rather ride his "chariot" around the palace to explore than go out and make troubles, and he is not at all anxious to make new friends as soon as possible.

In his words -

"I have interesting stories to tell, and a small bicycle to ride. Do I still have to worry about not being able to make friends?"

What she said was so reasonable that she couldn't persuade her at all.

But since the topic of children was brought up, Qi Susu, as a mother, had to take care of some things for her son.

"Is there any good academy enlightenment in Anyang Mansion?"

The magistrate's wife was surprised: "Could it be that the princess is going to send the son to the academy?"

Mrs. Shen also wondered, "Why don't you invite famous teachers to the palace to enlighten you alone?" As King Yu, what famous scholars and scholars can't be invited?

How many children from rich and powerful families would never send their children to study in an academy, but invite knowledgeable teachers to teach them one-on-one. Isn't that better than going to an academy?

Those who really went may also be the children of the concubines in the family.

Qi Susu shook his head with a smile, "He studied at Scorching Sun Academy when he was in the capital, and he is used to the atmosphere of studying with other children, so he should continue to maintain it here."

Originally, because of his precocious maturity, when Ji Wutian wanted to give him a book boy when he just returned to the palace, he didn't want it. So far, there is only a strong and honest Ah Wu left.

The Wangfu didn't even have anyone of the same age, if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity of enlightenment to study, he would go out and make more friends, so he would stay at home and study alone at a young age, just because her son couldn't stay idle at that moment and turned the world around, he couldn't hold it back for a long time Depressed?

"That's it." Several official wives were thoughtful, and those who came with their young sons or grandsons subconsciously looked down at the children in their arms or around them, and looked at the prince who was talking with the prince not far away. His own master is thinking about whether to send the child to the academy as well.

The son of Mrs. Zhifu's family is preparing to discuss marriage this year, and there is no child of the same age as Prince Yu, so he has no intentions. He said pertinently: "The best academy in our Anyang Prefecture is naturally Anyang Academy. There are many children of rich families studying there. , the students in the academy are also very talented and learned, and the environment of the academy is also good, my son was enlightened there in his early years, and later passed the Juren examination all the way."

Most of the relatives and friends of other wives are studying in Anyang Academy or have already graduated. They all agree with the level of teachers there. They also think that if even Prince Yu’s son is studying there, the reputation of the academy can be improved in the future. Become the number one academy in the surrounding three prefectures!
"Anyang Academy, thank you Mrs. Zheng for letting me know." Qi Susu nodded to the magistrate's wife.

Madam Zhifu waved her hand flatteredly: "I can't thank you as a princess, it's just a well-known thing."

After such a period of time, the people present felt that Princess Yu did not seem to be a difficult person to get along with, and she would no longer be so reserved when speaking later. Madam Yue asked curiously about what she had seen and heard in the capital, and Qi Susu casually told some things she knew speak to them.

After all, Anyang Mansion is too far away from the capital, and some news may be distorted even if it is passed on. A lot of things have happened in the capital in the past few months. Qi Susu dare not say that she knows everything, but she personally participated in it. Quite a few, it would be more realistic to tell them. All the ladies and ladies listened with gusto, and sighed with emotion from time to time.

When mentioning that it involved the vest of the 'Holy Hand Immortal', Qi Susu purposely said it lightly, but he didn't want to arouse the ideas of these ladies. Mrs. Fang, the commander of the Far Eastern Army, said surprisingly: "I heard that the Holy Hand Immortal is not Have you left Beijing for a long time to travel? A few days ago, I heard that I stayed in a county town of Huai'an Mansion and made a very useful elixir, which cured many patients."

"Really?" Mrs. Bai, the wife of the richest man who hadn't said much, thought about it, "Is the Holy Hand Immortal still in that county? Can Mrs. Fang know exactly which county it is?"

The other wives were well aware of the situation in the richest man's house, and when they saw Mrs. Bai's reaction, they could guess what she was thinking.

Mrs. Fang said: "I learned this news half a month ago. I don't know if he is still there. If you want to, you can send someone to inquire. If he is still there, invite someone here."

As for the expensive doctor's consultation fee, if it was another official wife, she might have to remind her, so as not to turn around and complain, but the Bai family is the richest man in Anyang Prefecture. Need to care about these.

The magistrate's wife sighed: "The reputation of this holy hand fairy has been quite high in the past few years. I heard that he has saved several patients with incurable diseases. He is really a miracle doctor."

Mrs. Shen: "If it weren't for the fact that she seems to be mostly active in the north and doesn't come to the south, I'd also like to ask her to go to the house to get a pulse for everyone in the family, to see if anyone in the family has hidden illnesses that haven't broken out. "

Ladies and gentlemen, you and I talked lively. When Qi Susu heard the news about Liu Su's counterfeit, he was stunned for a moment. After they talked about this counterfeit, some people even greeted Mrs. Bai's father-in-law , which caused the latter to look sad, it was clear that the old man in the family had some kind of physical disease that could not be cured, so he interrupted them quite speechlessly.

"The 'Holy Hand Immortal' you are talking about is fake."

"Huh?" The ladies were shocked, and Madam Bai's complexion was not very good, "How could it be fake?"
