Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 42 This NM is a feudal society!

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Xiao Cheng heaved a sigh of relief after running out from the backyard of the Ma Mansion.

When someone else is newly married, and you run into their backyard, it means that you are unintentional, and you have to make others believe it.It's hard to tell if he was really caught.

Just thinking of the girl he met just now, Xiao Cheng frowned.

I don't know if the feeling just now was because of something that girl was wearing.Treasures are rare things, and it would be a pity to encounter them.

And at this moment, a familiar figure flashed past Xiao Cheng's sight.

Xiao Cheng turned his head abruptly, and looked into the distance, Zhong Li, who was surrounded by a crowd, suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.

Yo, isn't it a coincidence!

In front of the main hall of the Ma Mansion, a well-to-do Zhi Li Naishi Ma Minwen, who was in his early fifties, stood at the door with a smile, personally entertaining the distinguished guests.

In this main hall is the main table of this banquet.Those who attended were all dignitaries and ministers in the court.

"Hahaha, Mr. Ma, congratulations!" Zhong Li saw Ma Minwen from afar, and laughed loudly, congratulating him again and again.

Seeing Zhongli's appearance, Ma Minwen greeted him with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said:

"Oh, Master Zhong is here. Why did you come so late, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Hearing this, Zhong Li remembered the series of unlucky things he encountered after going out today, his face froze, and then waved his hands again and again, saying:

"Hey, it's a bit unlucky to say, so don't mention it!"

Seeing that Zhongli was unwilling to speak, Ma Minwen didn't continue to ask, but said with a smile:

"In that case, my lord, please take your seat quickly!"

Zhong Li nodded, stood on the spot and stretched his neck, glanced at the people seated in the hall, but asked first:

"Master Ma, Ting Wei Li Lian, Master Li, are you not here today?"

Ma Minwen's eyelids moved, his smile remained undiminished, and he said:

"Master Li is busy with official duties today, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up."

When Zhong Li heard this, he couldn't help taking a sip, and cursed in his mouth;

"What is busy with business, this bastard in the eyes of losing money. I have been a colleague for more than ten years, and I haven't seen anyone who can hire him. Isn't it because I can't bear to give a gift money! Anyway, Mr. Ma, you are also an old man, so you are too ignorant. Anyway!"

The grievances between Zhong Li and Li Lian are known to all officials in the DPRK and China.

A greedy for money, cunning and clever, exhausted all means to make money.The good Tingwei Mansion was turned into a very lucrative business by him abruptly.

A family with a wealth of wealth, but his mind is often confused and confused, and he is used to being arrogant. He often fights over a small matter, making troubles in Tingwei's mansion and falling into Li Lian's hands. ,

Zhongli committed a crime, and Li Lian dealt with it, which is almost the same as letting a monkey go to Taoyuan.

Not only that, this Li Lian is also a bit malicious.Bullying Zhong Li is simple-minded, and from time to time he uses some tricks to cheat Zhong Li of his money.

That is to say, the ancestors of the Zhong family have been honored for generations, and the family background is too thick.Otherwise, the two have worked together for more than ten years, and Zhong Li would have gone to the street to beg for food.

Ma Minwen waved his hand, smoothed things over with a smile, and said:

"I'm still not big enough for this old man! Hahaha, I won't mention it. By the way, Guo Xie and Mr. Guo were also invited by this old man. I heard that Mr. Zhong is familiar with him. If His Excellency is interested, this old man will send someone to invite him to accompany him."

Obviously, under Guo Xie's intentional friendship, Zhong Li has a very good impression of Guo Xie.

Hearing that Guo Xie was there, Zhong Li's eyes lit up, and said:
"Okay, just in time, the ministers of the DPRK and China are always unhappy when they drink alcohol!"

After finishing speaking, Zhongli led the people and walked towards the hall.

Ma Minwen still smiled and nodded to everyone.It wasn't until he saw Xiao Cheng who was following behind, that he was slightly taken aback.

He had never seen this person in front of him.

It stands to reason that such a majestic and graceful person, even if he is a young child of any family, should be famous in Beijing, why has he never seen it?
Xiao Cheng noticed that Ma Minwen was sizing him up, but he didn't panic. He saluted Ma Minwen calmly, and then walked into the hall with his head held high.

Looking at Xiao Cheng's back, Ma Minwen frowned and thought, when the congratulatory sound of the guests came from his ear again, which made him not think about it, and turned his head to greet the guests.

Stepping into the hall, I saw a group of guests sitting and chatting, complimenting and entertaining each other, and speaking some official phrases.

Taking a quick glance, Xiao Cheng couldn't find Yang Xuanyan among these people.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the hall.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that a desk in the hall was overturned for some reason, and the wine and dishes on it were all over the floor.

Zhong Li sat on the seat, drenched in food and drink, with a blank and angry face.

A middle-aged man, pulled the blushing and drunken strong man beside him, bowed his hands to Zhong Li repeatedly, and said apologetically:

"Lord Zhong, I'm sorry, General Zhao is a little drunk!"

Just now, this drunk strong man lost his footing and knocked over the table.The food and drink overturned and fell directly on Zhong Li who was beside him.

Zhong Li sat on the seat, looked at the clothes soaked by the wine and vegetables, and couldn't help being furious.

"Sun Wang, Zhao Xi, you can't die if you want to!"

The middle-aged man named Sun Wang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said:

"Master Zhong said something too much, isn't this an apology to you!"

"You!" Zhong Lian remembered a series of unlucky things today, and couldn't help but feel angry, his eyes widened, and he had the idea of ​​doing something when he got up.

Ma Minwen, who was still welcoming guests at the door just now, heard the movement, hurried over, grabbed Zhong Li, and said softly:
"Lord Zhong, Lord Zhong, Lord Sun, and General Zhao didn't do it on purpose. Just take it as a face for the old man, forget it, forget it!"

Zhong Li opened his mouth, but came down by this slope.

Because at this time, he remembered the two people in front of him, one was Guang Luxun, one of the Nine Ministers, and the other was the commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and their status was not lower than him.

And most importantly, the two of them were promoted by Wang Xiao from the army, they were born in a serious army, and they were killed on the battlefield.If he made a move, it must be Zhong Li who fell down.

At this time, it is already embarrassing enough, and if you are beaten to the ground, the embarrassment will be even worse!
Thinking of this, Zhong Li gritted his teeth, cursed bad luck, turned around and asked the servants of the Ma Mansion to take him down to change clothes, and then he calmed down.

At this time, Guo Xie walked in under the leadership of a servant.Seeing the hall, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Just when he was puzzled about what happened, he saw Xiao Cheng standing there among the crowd with a particularly conspicuous temperament.He was slightly taken aback, and quickly walked to Xiao Cheng's side, and said softly:
"Why did you come here? I was looking for you outside just now."

Xiao Cheng tilted his head slightly, and said:

"He got in... By the way, do you know why Yang Xuanyan isn't here?"

When Guo Xie heard this, a strange look appeared on his face, and he said:

"You asked me for an invitation to meet Yang Xuanyan?"

"En." Xiao Cheng nodded.

The corner of Guo Xie's mouth twitched, and he said:
"Yang Xuanyan is the woman's father, so naturally he won't appear here..."

"My daughter got married, why did he..."

In the middle of speaking, Xiao Cheng's face froze suddenly.

Damn, this NM is a feudal society, how could the woman's father appear in the man's house!
　Damn, this chapter originally wanted to write about the protagonist getting in touch with Yang Xuanyan.As a result, halfway through writing, I suddenly realized a bug.

　　This NM ancient woman gets married, and the woman's father doesn't seem to be on the stage. . . .

　　Then, I sat in front of the computer and thought hard for a long time, and finally came back to the story.
