Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming
Chapter 518 Going to the Hongmen Banquet
Several people received the invitations and kept discussing the matter in the courtyard. Soon, the sky in all directions was filled with blackness, the dome was rubbed dark, and the streets and alleys were lit with lights.
"It's about time." Ke Ran glanced at the water tank used for timekeeping, "Let's go earlier, if it's late, the regent might catch him again, and he won't have to tease us. "
The other three nodded in agreement, and then went to the Prince Regent's Mansion after cleaning up briefly.
Zong Shiliang's mansion has green walls and black tiles, the tone is extremely gloomy, and the clothes of the servants are also mainly dark green. The courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, and no bright vegetation is planted, only one or two unopened orchids are adorned, and the atmosphere is extremely quiet The indifference actually gives people a deep and chilly feeling.
A young fellow led the group into the courtyard gate, all the way to the front of the hall, everyone's eyes lit up.
The hall has been specially decorated, with red lanterns hung all over, and the black ground is reflected into a bright red. If you take a closer look, you can see that there are more than four of them. The people who received the invitations are all important officials of the imperial court, and they also brought relatives and friends at home. , You can hear loud chatter and laughter before you get close.
The four of them looked at each other, not only what kind of medicine was bought in the regent's gourd.
"Lord Xue, Mrs. Xue," the servant made a gesture of invitation to the two, "Please."
The husband and wife looked at each other, their brows twitched, and they had no choice but to continue forward. Chai Ke was also extremely puzzled. They exchanged a look and followed behind Xue Tang.
The hall was already full of guests, it was very lively, the ears were filled with the sound of silk and bamboo, chatting and laughing, and there were crowds of people in front of them, bustling with each other.
"There are so many people here."
Tang Luoyu was very puzzled, and sighed softly. Xue Lince held her hand under his sleeve, signaling her not to worry.
As soon as the four of them stepped into the hall, a maid came to greet them to sit down. Because Xue Lince had been promoted to the third rank, he was relatively close to the regent.
"Lord Xue," before Xue Lince sat still, the regent couldn't wait to name him, "When I went south to rehabilitate, it was thanks to Master Xue's help that I was able to wipe out the rebel army. Master Xue is a civil servant, but his martial arts are extremely good. Yes, it really made me look at it with admiration."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the four of them like a spotlight, and even the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly dimmed.
The regent laughed a few times, and picked up the wine glass in his hand, "This king respects Mr. Xue."
Xue Lince had no reason to refuse. He was polite for a while, "It is the duty of the subordinates to share the worries of the prince. Instead, the subordinates should congratulate the prince for defeating the rebel army and make another military exploit. The subordinates toast the prince."
He couldn't bear the high hat of the regent, so he kicked back the flattery and praise, and by the way, praised the regent even higher.
Hearing this, the muscles on the regent's face twitched slightly, as if he was a little displeased, but he quickly returned to calm.
Xue Lince stood up and was about to get the wine glass beside him when Ke Ran suddenly pushed a glass of new wine in front of him. Xue Lince was puzzled. When he looked back, he saw him pretending to cough and quickly put a silver needle in his sleeve.
Both Xue and Tang couldn't laugh or cry, Chai Jin stabbed him in the waist with his elbow, indicating that he was not allowed to test poison on that occasion.
No matter what, Xue Lince took the wine, and then sat down calmly. The sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, and the conversations of the guests came from all directions again.
Before he put his heart back in his stomach, the regent suddenly said: "I heard that Mr. Xue often goes to my late father's mansion late at night. This king finds it very strange."
The four of them were all startled, they didn't expect that people would notice that they went to the secret path last time.
The traitor hat on Xue Bi's head was firmly held, Xue Lince was his only descendant, and the regent added the word "late night", which was enough to make all the officials present dream about it without specifying it.
Sure enough, everyone in the room looked at the four of them suspiciously, and the doubts in their eyes became more and more dignified.
"Back to your lord," Xue Lince said in a steady voice, without any haste when he spoke, "This subordinate knows that my father committed a heinous crime and committed the capital crime of cooperating with the enemy and treason, but even so, he is also the biological father of this subordinate. Guarding Yuedong, I have never had the opportunity to worship, this time I went to the mansion to worship my parents, and I went only late at night, just because I was afraid of such a misunderstanding."
Countless double-edged eyes bit his body. If he said a word wrong, he and his family members would be labeled as collaborators. In a crisis, he could not defend his father in public.
"My lord," Tang Luoyu also advised, "My husband and my lord went south to rehabilitate me. During the war, I went to the mansion with my lord through life and death. This time I went to the mansion late at night just to pay respects to my parents who passed away. It's not because I'm dissatisfied with my lord."
The husband and wife talked impeccably, and Tang Luoyu specifically mentioned Xue Lince's redress in the south. The faces of the officials present gradually improved, and they turned their attention to the regent.
At this time, the regent's face was still calm, but his brows were tightened, and a deep groove was drawn. Seeing this, all the officials dared not show their anger.
After being quiet for a long time, the regent suddenly burst out laughing without warning, "Since ancient times, no one has been able to achieve both loyalty and filial piety, but Mr. Xue has really impressed me. He is worthy of being a pillar of the imperial court. I would like to offer you another toast. "
He laughed heartily and spoke boldly, no one could grasp his thoughts, Xue Lince's heart twitched, he turned his head and met Tang Luoyu's eyes, then stood up calmly and toasted with him.
Other officials thought that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, half to smooth things over and half to ease the atmosphere, they also toasted to celebrate the regent's return.
After the episode, the banquet was lively and peaceful again. During the banquet, the regent tried Xue Lince several times, but he carefully avoided them.
The banquet was finally over at the end of the month, and the officials left, leaving only Xue Lince and his party staying in the hall.
"Master Xue," the regent left him on purpose, his face was still red from alcohol, "I had a lot of misunderstandings about Lord Xue in the past, but after these days, I realized that Lord Xue is completely different from Xue Bi. I didn't expect him to rebel, but he has made a contribution to Jiangshan Sheji by retaining a talent like you."
After that, he laughed a few times as if no one was there.
Xue Lince looked at his back-grown mouth, and watched him chatting about the original owner's dead father without any scruples, and suddenly there was a surge of resentment in his heart.
His complexion changed, and he was very serious when he spoke, "Could it be that the prince has never thought about why the court's brawny ministers rebelled without warning? Don't you really think there is some misunderstanding?"
The regent's expression changed, "What did you say?"
"It's about time." Ke Ran glanced at the water tank used for timekeeping, "Let's go earlier, if it's late, the regent might catch him again, and he won't have to tease us. "
The other three nodded in agreement, and then went to the Prince Regent's Mansion after cleaning up briefly.
