Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 74
The invitation sent by the Wang family is an engagement banquet for Wang Xuzhou, the second son of the Wang family, and Sun Xinran, the youngest daughter of the Sun family.The address on the invitation was the woman's Sun's family, and logically speaking, the engagement banquet was held at the man's family. For this reason, Shen Pan'er also smiled and said that the Sun family had recruited another son-in-law.

Perhaps the customs are different. Sun Wang's family's engagement banquet is at night, in the dusk, with a circle of faint afterglow bordering the sky, the carriage of the old Shen's house is humming and humming towards Sun's house.

Sun's house is located on Jinyang Long Street. The house is decorated with lanterns and festoons, colorful flowers, golden beams and colorful buildings, and it is completely new.

The Wang family was very face-saving, Wang Xuzhou and Shen Ci hit it off immediately, and they went out of the mansion to welcome the entire group of Ningbeihou's mansion.

The young man is wearing Ye Lingwu today, the freshest and brightest red brocade robe he has ever seen. It is pure red, much more eye-catching than Shen Ci's. It is woven with lush hydrangeas, and the cuffs and skirts are all red thread.

Very festive! !
The three girls congratulated Wang Xuzhou in turn, begging for several red envelopes, and were so happy from ear to ear.It's not because of the money in the red envelope, but just holding the thick red envelope in my hand, I feel happy.

Women's seats, girls' seats are in the inner courtyard, adult men's seats are in the hall of the outer courtyard, and the courtyard is also filled with round tables. From the outside of the mansion, it is crowded and noisy.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, listening to the Wang family couple and the Sun family couple congratulating each other on their heads, there were many men and women sitting or standing inside, Zhu Xi finished their seats and chatted lively.

"Old lady Shen is here!" Sun Jinlan walked slowly and greeted the members of the Shen family warmly.

In comparison, the Wang family's second wife's attitude is obviously cold, and they are not clear about the surrounding guests, as if who is coercing them to hold this engagement banquet.

Old Mrs. Shen asked the three girls to come forward to congratulate her, and the girls rushed forward to salute. After seeing the salute, the three girls were taken to the inner hall by the envoy to see you.

The inner hall is also lively, with stars supporting the moon, the "moon" is Sun Xinran who sits in the upper seat, and the "stars" are the girls under the seat.

Sun Xinran was originally born with a round face, but today she is dressed in bright red, she looks like a lucky baby, but unfortunately, this lucky baby has a bad complexion, and she doesn't pay any attention to the "stars"' flattery.

Even seeing the girl from Ningbeihou's Mansion coming, she couldn't cheer up and hurriedly greeted her to take a seat.The "Xing Xing" who was praising Sun Xinran immediately surrounded Shen Pan'er and Shen Yue'er.

The girls were chatting and laughing, but Sun Xinran, who was sitting in the seat, looked weary. After a while, he left a large room of female guests and left the table.

Halfway through the banquet, the yard was very lively, everyone followed the sound and found that they were playing pitching pots, surrounded by many young men and many girls.

Shen Pan'er loves to be lively the most, she dragged Ye Lingwu and passed by, but Shen Yue'er was different, no matter how lively the place was, she could calm down and not take the lead.

Most of the onlookers were men, tall and tall, Ye Lingwu couldn't see, couldn't squeeze in, and Shen Pan'er, who dragged her to join in the fun, had long since disappeared.

Everyone was in high spirits, only Ye Lingwu was depressed, since she was bored, she had no choice but to leave in despair.

There was a staggering number of cups and cups in the hall, offending merchants and officials came to the banquet one after another, and the congratulatory gifts they sent couldn't be piled up in one room.

The guests who came here were all well-known names, and the couple Sun Jinlan and Lu Xuan valued ostentation the most, and small businessmen and officials were not in their sights.

Even the guests who arrived at the scene were divided into three, six, and nine ranks, and it was not their turn to greet them personally.

The seats gradually filled up, and a group of luxuriously dressed men toasted and had fun with each other. It was more like a vanity fair than an engagement banquet.

Suddenly, a servant at the door announced: "Second Master Murong has arrived~"

When Lu Xuan, who was dealing with several officials, heard this, he looked towards the door, and saw a tall and strong man in a dark purple flowing coat coming.

Yue Yang stepped forward unhurriedly, clasped his hands in a solemn bow and said, "Congratulations to Brother Lu's daughter's engagement."

"Thank you, Second Master Murong," Lu Xuan smiled and looked behind him, "Second Master Murong is here, why don't you see your brother?"

Yue Yang sighed, and said: "Brother Lu has also seen my sister-in-law's temper, my brother can't come even if he wants to."

Lu Xu'an's expression froze, he probably thought of something, and said with a sneer: "Then don't come, or your sister-in-law will overthrow my grandson's family."

Yue Yang agreed with a smile: "That's right, my sister-in-law has a violent temper, thanks to Brother Lu's broad-mindedness, I have never met her before."

"What I've seen is that it's hard for you, Big Brother Gu, to get slapped for no reason, and then to be scolded by his wife when he went back. It's hard for him."

"Yes, yes, my brother should bring his sister-in-law to come to make amends." Yue Yang scanned the surroundings, "Why don't you see Mr. Zhizhou today? Today is Miss Sun's engagement banquet. Shouldn't he, the uncle, be there?"

Lu Xu'an suppressed his smile and said, "Don't mention him."

As he said that, Lu Xu'an patted Yue Yang on the shoulder: "Hurry up and take your seat, I'll introduce you to some cloth shop owners. Speaking of which, the cloth you sent to my house that day is really rare and precious." Goods."

Faced with the familiarity of businessmen in dealing with each other, Yue Yang's performance was obviously a little unnatural, and his performance in front of several businessmen was too blunt, and his ability to play on the spot was a bit inferior to that of Shen Zhan.

The twilight was thick, and it was almost summer at this time, the flowers in the garden were in full bloom, the maids of the Wang family were busy greeting the guests in the east courtyard, and this place was quiet.

The full moon is bright and bright.Ye Lingwu was pacing on the path, but she heard a rush of footsteps from the other side of the rock barrier, mixed with the sound of a young man and woman arguing fiercely——

"Wang Xuzhou, stop, stop! I haven't finished yet!" The clear and arrogant female voice belonged to Sun Xinran.

"I already know, you don't need to say it!" Wang Xuzhou's voice was still gentle, but it also carried a resentment that could not be ignored.

"You know, you know, you should tell your parents early on that your royal family will soon covet the wealth and honor of my father's family and my uncle's official title. I have promoted him, so I rushed to hire him..."

"Enough!" Wang Xuzhou seemed to have endured it to the extreme, "Do you think my father and mother are really interested in your grandson family? Although my father is only a magistrate of Ji Town, he never expects to be rich. I just want the safety of one side of the people, how about you, do you think that my aunt has a crush on you, the domineering only daughter of the grandson family, my royal family has had hairpin tassels for generations, there is nothing that your family has aspired to!"

——Ye Lingwu, who was hiding behind the rockery, pursed her lips, noncommittal: What she said was convincing, but since your family looked down on the Sun family so much, why did you hire her to delay the girl.

Sure enough, Sun Xinran was not a vegetarian, and immediately replied: "Bah! What are generations of hairpins? There are too many people who have violated the moon's generations of hairpins. Do you think your Wang family is the only one who is noble?" Sun Xinran sneered disdainfully, "Your uncle! When you and your eldest brother knelt at my father's feet and begged him to help him, why didn't your royal family lose their integrity?!"

Wang Xuzhou's arrogance had obviously weakened, Sun Xinran saw him frustrated, and smiled heartily: "What are you Wang family, you dare to say that Xiao is not thinking about my family's power, what a joke!"

"My Wang family is nothing, but Miss Sun, don't forget, you and I are an unmarried couple, it's better to keep some words in your stomach, or be careful that misfortune will come out of your mouth."

"Will I be afraid? My grandson's family has the final say in this crime. I can say whatever I want. You should also remind your parents in the future that this marriage was proposed by them, not my grandson's family. Don't worry about it." Show me the face of the Sun family with a downcast face, do you deserve it too?"

"It's not worthy, so my parents should be threatened by your father to force me to marry you?"

Wang Xuzhou suppressed his anger, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why do you think my parents refused to hold the engagement banquet after they were hired? Miss Sun, today's engagement banquet was also forced by your father to hold my father. So, Miss Sun today You shouldn't have quarreled with me, and you shouldn't have said it to me, but you should have said it to your father."

——Ye Lingwu came to a sudden: It turned out that it was forced by the Lu family. Xueyue Qinyuan was also forced by the Lu family to drink and have fun that night. It seems that the Lu family is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, too, It can make an official seek a businessman, and if you say this, you can brag for a lifetime!No wonder Sun Xinran is so arrogant, if it were her... naturally, she would be even more arrogant.

"You don't talk nonsense here, why does my father force you, what makes your royal family worth my father's attention?"

"Miss Sun is a good question. My Wang family doesn't have anything that your father likes. Please go back and have a good talk with your father, Miss Sun. When will you come to my house to discuss and withdraw from this marriage? Don't worry, as long as your father is willing to withdraw, The embarrassing thing will be borne by my Wang family."

"Do you think I dare not say it?" Sun Xinran said without confidence.

"I've never said that it wasn't Miss Sun that you wanted to quarrel with me from the beginning to the end, wasn't it also you who wanted to divorce me? I just told you how to withdraw this marriage. As for Miss Sun, dare to speak up? , It depends on how much Miss Sun looks down on my Wang family and how much she wants to get rid of my Wang family."

The quarrel over there seemed to be over, and the footsteps coming this way were getting closer and closer. Ye Lingwu looked around, and took advantage of the dark night and high wind to hide in the rockery.
