Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 501
People who can be seen... The steward of the county prince's mansion was stunned for a moment, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes for a moment.

But after all, it is a well-rounded old servant, whether it is a lady from the Dongping uncle's mansion or a distinguished guest who is personally driven by Ji Shizi, he is not something he can offend.

The steward immediately lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

It's just that seeing the prince guarding outside, especially with that prince's unique appearance and jade in front of him, he instinctively thought that the person in the carriage was a matching beauty, but he didn't expect... Eh, no!That girl... Although the governor of the county palace has never seen Miss Jiang Si in the carriage, but because of her figure and Uncle Dong Ping who walked over calling "Ayan" loudly, he suddenly remembered something. What happened last year... To be honest, he didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the young people in Chang'an City, but because the incident was too big at that time, those dudes in those days Every day, he used the girl involved in that incident as a laughing stock, sometimes saying that the girl was fat like a big egg, and sometimes saying that she looked like a bear, like a pig, and so on. There were many humiliating metaphors.

The young dandy, who has always been smooth sailing and has no troubles, usually has nothing to do and is a bit boring, it just so happens that the girl has become the laughing stock that comes to the door, so he hurriedly grabbed it and made fun of it wantonly.

During that time, there were so many people talking and laughing about this matter that even an old man like him had heard of it.

The girl who was teased seems to be the one in front of me!Speaking of which, the girl made a joke first because of Shizi Ji's talented cousin who had been making trouble all year last year. If that is the case, how could this girl be with Shizi Ji?
The county prince's mansion is confused about the facts, and some don't understand what's going on.Is it because he is old and doesn't understand today's young people?

Uncle Dong Ping, who was able to see his beloved daughter on the other side, was very excited. When he saw the girl who he thought was still in Jiangnan Road, but suddenly appeared in front of him at this moment, he was very happy, but he was so happy that he held the girl's arm After looking up and down, I couldn't help frowning: "Ayan, why have you lost so much weight?"

The steward of the county prince's mansion thought to himself: Is Miss Jiang Si thin?Even if it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, being overweight is not good for the body. For those doctors, it would be better for Miss Jiang Si to be a few laps thinner like this right now.

The girl said with a smile, "Where is that?" and then interrupted Uncle Dongping: "Father, this is Shizi Ji. This time, I was escorted back to Beijing by Mr. An, the old man, and Shizi Ji."

Uncle Dongping only stared at the girl as soon as he saw the girl in his eyes, but he didn't pay attention to the people beside the girl at first, because he had time to be distracted to look at the face under the bamboo hat in the future, so that the corner of his eye was blurred. After a quick glance, Uncle Dongping thought it was Xiao Wu who was driving the carriage, and said in his heart, "Since Xiao Wu went to Baoling, he seems to have grown a little taller, and his posture and temperament have also grown a lot. It seems that Jiangnan Dao has really grown up." Very human!" Then he went on to see his beloved daughter.

Right now, when he heard his daughter say that this is Prince Ji, Uncle Dong Ping was taken aback. He was about to salute Ji Chongyan, but Ji Chongyan raised his hand and gave him a hand. Greeting: "Hi Dongping Bo'an!"

"Uh... Prince Ji... is well too." After seeing the face exposed under the bamboo hat, Dong Ping was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly greeted him back.

One matter is one matter, that matter was done by Ji Chonghuan's family, and has nothing to do with others, and now that his daughter has been brought back by An Guogong, Uncle Dongping doesn't want to settle any old accounts, let alone get involved.Otherwise, if his two incompetent younger brothers did something wrong tomorrow, wouldn't he also be unlucky?

Therefore, to last season Chongyan, he was polite but a little alienated.

Without him, it's just...unfamiliarity.The last time this nephew of the emperor saw it so closely was at a banquet several years ago. At that time, the minister of the emperor was sitting in the front row of the banquet, holding a glass cup in his hand shaking the Western Regions inside. wine.

At that time, the emperor's nephew's eyes drooped slightly, probably because the cinnabar red mole at the end of the eye was too bright in color, and the whole face looked more gorgeous than those of the well-dressed women at the banquet. .
Most of the women in the banquet were secretly looking at the emperor's close minister, but few dared to approach him.Even he...has no intention of approaching him, probably because the half-smile on his face seems incompatible with the bustling feast, or maybe it's because the whole body is indistinguishable from good to evil, attractive yet unnerving. The temperament of approaching is really too special.

Uncle Dongping couldn't tell the specific reason, even though the emperor's close minister in front of him was supposed to be the one that many people wanted to get close to and please, most people still instinctively dared not get too close.

I haven't seen you for a few years now. The flower of the mountains and hills who sat before the banquet and shook the glass cup wore the bamboo hats issued by his family to each guard on his head, and sat in his family's carriage. "The dust that will be stained on the body looks more down-to-earth.

However, it's not all because of the clothes that really make him look down-to-earth, but the gentle smile and expression on his face, unlike the alienation and indifference that seemed to be a smile but not a smile at that time, it is inexplicably flattered It felt weird at the same time.

But no matter how down-to-earth this Gaoling flower who descended to the mortal world is, Jiang Zhao knows how to measure it, and he doesn't dare to be completely down-to-earth. He just paused and said with a dry smile: "Thank you, Lord Guo The prince escorted the little girl home all the way!"

Ji Chongyan smiled at Jiang Zhao, and said, "It should be, I have a very close relationship with Miss Jiang Si."

Seeing Ji Chongyan's act of "smiling" towards him last time, Jiang Zhao subconsciously became excited, and an inexplicable sense of weirdness rose in his heart, so that he didn't hear what Ji Chongyan said behind him clearly.

until……

"Father!" A girl's soft call sounded in his ears, Jiang Shaoyan pulled Jiang Zhao who was stunned in place, and brought Jiang Zhao back to his senses, he said "ah" and looked at Jiang Shaoyan.

Jiang Shaoyan looked at Jiang Zhao who was stunned by Ji Chongyan's smile, a little puzzled.

In all fairness, Ji Chongyan's expression and smile towards Jiang Zhao just now can be said to be sincere and gentle, and it couldn't be more approachable.But with such an approachable approach, not only Jiang Zhao, but even the steward of the county prince's mansion on the side were stunned, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

Is it so incredible?Jiang Shaoyan was puzzled.

Ji Chongyan didn't feel strange about Jiang Zhao's reaction at that time: To Uncle Dongping, he might not be used to it, but it's okay, after a long time, he will get used to it.

The future is long, and we need to proceed step by step. He just wanted to say hello today.

Ji Chongyan turned to the girl, and found an excuse to leave: "My third uncle is also in the Furong Garden, and was invited to the Huaishan County King's banquet. I have something to do with my third uncle, so I left first."

Mrs. Jiang's matter must be explained to Bo Dongping, Jiang Zhao. He is still an outsider, so it is inconvenient for him to watch from the sidelines.

As for Miss Jiang Si... He is at ease in the hands of Uncle Dong Ping, who loves his daughters like his own.

The steward of the county prince's mansion at the side immediately took Ji Chongyan into the Furong Garden after hearing the words, and after leaving like this, only the father and daughter were left.

Jiang Zhaoqian, who came back to his senses, laughed twice, but he didn't hide it from his beloved daughter. He patted his chest and said frankly: "Just now, Shizi Ji's smile scared Daddy a lot."

Jiang Shaoyan asked him: "What's wrong? Ji Shizi doesn't look good when he smiles? How can he be scared?"

"Naturally beautiful! It's just that the smile is too gentle and sincere, which always makes Dad feel a little weird." Jiang Zhao said, subconsciously touched his hands with goosebumps, paused, and said, "Daddy always I feel that people like Ji Shizi are suitable for sitting in a high position far away, even if they smile, they should be smiling like they don't reach their eyes..."

Jiang Shaoyan: "...the prince that Daddy said is like a villain in a story book."

"That's not true!" Jiang Zhao shook his head hastily, his face was hard to tell, he said it was evil, but he couldn't say it was completely evil, he murmured, "In short, they are the kind of people who can only be seen from a distance. "

Jiang Shaoyan smiled, and didn't continue on Ji Chongyan's topic, but after a moment's pause, she suddenly said, "Daddy, let's go home, I have something to tell you!"

Jiang Zhao was startled when he heard this, and then he was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly said: "Okay! Okay! Our father and daughter are also whispering!"

He is a man, busy with government affairs on weekdays, and Ayan is a delicate girl, many things are hidden in front of him, it seems that the scene where Ayan is willing to open her heart and whisper to him is only for him. To be honest, I look forward to it.

After going to Baoling for a year, Ayan seems to be a lot more cheerful, which is a good thing.It's just that I don't know what this whisper will be?

Jiang Shaoyan lowered her eyelids: Mrs. Jiang's matter should be discussed at home.

……

……

The king of Huaishan County is naturally older than Ji Chongyan in terms of seniority, but when it comes to the grace of the emperor and the status of the Duke's son inheriting the title of the Duke's mansion in the future, the county king is still a head shorter.

In addition, although he is a county king and his surname is Zhao, his relationship with His Majesty is actually a distant relative separated by thousands of miles.He had never met His Majesty before he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor, so how could there be any sense of family affection?Therefore, the inexplicable title of a county king dropped from the sky made Zhao Rang happy and at the same time very disturbed and uneasy.

He was already forty years old when he was named the king of the county, and because he got married early, his children were almost twenty years old, and his mentality and resourcefulness had already been settled, even if they were cultivated, it was too late.Therefore, the lineage of Huaishan County King has been honestly in front of his own rich and idle people all these years, and on weekdays, he will invite three or five friends to hold banquets to enjoy singing and dancing.

In recent years, although there is no real power, when it comes to personal connections, there are still many Huaishan county kings who often hold banquets, and many important officials and dignitaries have also become frequent guests at the banquet.

The king of Huaishan County, who is used to being a man, will never forget the role of An Guogong's mansion when he hosts banquets on weekdays. Most of the people who bring posts to the banquet on weekdays are the second family of Ji's family, especially Ji Chonghuan. back.

There was a commotion last year, and the Ji Dacai came less frequently.There were a few banquets, but no one came to Anguo Gong's mansion.In recent days, the third son of Ji's family has come here because of the third son of Ji's work as a companion. Although the drunkard's intention was not to drink, he wanted to find a way to avoid this errand at the banquet, and he didn't think about how to get along with him. He has a deep friendship, but he doesn't care about it as far as Huaishan County King is concerned.

He is not good at writing or military, and the only thing he is good at is hosting banquets. Over the years, he has made friends with many dignitaries at his banquets, and it has long been said in the circle that Huaishan county king can make friends at banquets.

Equating his family's banquet with "friendship" is his biggest reliance on Huaishan County King.

He didn't ask for much, and it would be great if he could secure the seat of Huaishan County King.

Of course, if he can climb up to the emperor's close minister, he must seize the opportunity.

Right now, the opportunity is in his hands, and the king of Huaishan County has no reason not to accept it.The king of Huaishan County, who was originally sitting on the host seat and watched everyone drinking and talking with a smile, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately strode out of the table and walked out.

A banquet with the purpose of "making friends" is usually not short, at least three or four hours, and it is normal for someone to come out to breathe if they feel bored in the middle.

When the king of Huaishan County came out to attend the meeting, he happened to bump into a few young princes who were wearing wide-sleeved robes that resembled the Wei and Jin styles.

This clothes... It's weird, it seems to be Wei Jin, but it's far more complicated than Wei Jin's.If the King of Huaishan had seen Ji Chonghuan and his party at the gate of the city this morning, he would probably have recognized that these people were wearing the same kind of clothes.

The king of Huaishan County has always been a person who has no airs. He nodded to these young masters with a smile, and walked forward without paying attention to their reactions.

Those who come are guests, and he invites guests from all over the world to this banquet, and he will not neglect because a few dandies can't bring benefits to him.

It's just that the few young princes who imitated Wei Jinfeng obviously didn't think so, and couldn't help frowning at the behavior of Shanghuaishan County King, obviously displeased.And this unpleasant reaction reached its peak when seeing the enthusiastic reaction of the Huaishan County King running towards Ji Chongyan.

"This king of Huaishan County really has no bones at all, he just nods and bows like a dog wagging his tail." A young man snorted coldly and taunted him.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted many responses.

Another person looked at the king of Huaishan County who had to raise his head to speak to Ji Chongyan because he was a head shorter than Ji Chongyan in disgust, and said: "In terms of seniority, the king of Huaishan County is also from the generation of Zhao's distant uncle. It doesn't look like an uncle, but looks like Ji Dacai's noble cousin is his uncle."

These words were indeed a bit poisonous, and the few dignitaries nearby who came out to blow the air couldn't help but look at those people, but the young masters didn't care, and laughed.

Smiling happily, Ji Chongyan and Huaishan County King had already walked over.

"There's no need to buy another table, just add a seat for me next to Third Uncle."

The king of Huaishan County did not force himself, and responded with a "yes".

When the two of them walked up to the group of laughing young masters, they stopped, and the good-natured Huaishan County King looked at the laughing young masters and said, "I heard that you made fun of Zhao? A little backbone?"

He beckoned for the guards, and said with a smile, "It's not easy to have such a thing as backbone?" After finishing speaking, the Huaishan County King pointed to the young princes and said, "Give this county king these few Throw out a commoner with no rank!"

Zhao...the king of this county...everyone was stunned.

On weekdays, the king of Huaishan County, who looked like a good old man, was surnamed Zhao no matter what. His ancestors were closely related to His Majesty, and they were out-and-out relatives of the emperor.
