Chapter 297 Temptation
"Yu Wenxin, what you did is not honest. You came to pay your respects to Her Royal Highness, and I had to spend money to entertain you. Is it so embarrassing for you?"

Zhong Xingyan stuck in his waist to stop Yu Wenxin and Princess Xiaoya, "Shouldn't you also give some hints at the opening ceremony of the Suzhai Building today? Yuwenhou's mansion is not so poor, is it?"

Fanyin was gnashing his teeth on it, and Zhong Xingyan's big knife had been erected in front of the door, clearly not allowed to enter without courtesy.

Princess Xiaoya had nothing to say to Zhong Xingyan, she just stood behind Yu Wenxin, still putting on that dignified and virtuous appearance, with only a faint smile on her face, which made people feel more distanced.

Yuwenxin is not surprised by Zhong Xingyan's appearance, "Yuwenhou's mansion is naturally rich, but the Suzhai Building opened a big gift and didn't send an invitation for me. Why should I take the initiative to come here to give gifts? Is it true that the Zhong family is like this?" Is it unreasonable?"

Yu Wenxin's rhetorical question would not embarrass Zhong Xingyan in the slightest, "Yes, I'm just being unreasonable, so what can you do?"

"Then I have nothing to do." Yu Wenxin spread his hands, "It's okay to give gifts, but you always want to say a few good words? But I don't know where Grandma Zhong Si is? It is said that she is the owner of Suzhai Building. "

When mentioning Sanskrit, Zhong Xingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It depends on whether the gift you give is enough."

"Bring up the gift box." Yu Wenxin ordered the people beside him, and several guards from Yuwenhou Mansion immediately brought up a box.

The box is very old, it looks square, and it looks familiar.

Fanyin was standing in the corner of the Suzhai Building and listening, and she could see the gift box outside through the hollowed-out window panel. , a gift from Yu Wenxin?

When he married Princess Xiaoya, he returned the gift himself, and now he sent it back.

This bastard Yu Wenxin, is he full?Isn't it bothersome to send and return a box of silver?
Zhong Xing seemed to see the origin of this box, clicked his lips twice, "Not enough."

"Then invite grandma Zhong Si to show up, and I'll send another box." Yu Wenxin's words made Zhong Xingyan feel very shameless, "No way, just two words, not enough!"

"Zhong Xingyan, are you deliberately preventing me from saying hello to my aunt?"

Princess Xiaoya interrupted softly from the side. As a royal blood, she should be superior to Gao Zhong Xingyan in terms of status, and what she said was even more straight to the point, which made it difficult for Zhong Xingyan to answer.

"I don't have one. I stopped Yu Wenxin. If Princess Xiaoya is in a hurry to pay her respects to Her Highness, then please go on your own. I won't stop you." Howling from behind, "Add two more dishes for the princess, I will give it to you!" Turning to look at Princess Xiaoya, "Princess, please?"

Princess Xiaoya was stunned and at a loss. She wanted to make it difficult for Zhong Xingyan, but he replied like this. If she doesn't go in first, she will be disrespectful to Princess Jingwen, but if she leaves by herself, leave Yu Wenxin behind. Next, wouldn't that embarrass Yu Wenxin?
Seeing Princess Xiaoya's panic, Yu Wenxin smiled and took her hand, waved it back, and the guards brought up another box.

When I opened it, I saw another box of silver neatly...

"Should we let him in this time?" Yu Wenxin's mocking smile was obvious. Isn't it the simplest thing that can be settled with money?

Zhong Xingyan ordered his subordinates to collect the money, "Yuwenhou's mansion is really rich and sufficient, making it incomparable to people like us, but I don't know how many soldiers' hard-earned money it takes to get so much money for nothing?"

"Can I go in now?" Princess Xiaoya didn't want to listen to Zhong Xingyan's sarcasm anymore, she just felt that Zhong Xingyan would not dare to stop her if she opened her mouth.

Zhong Xingyan turned sideways, "Princess, please."

Princess Xiaoya snorted coldly, and led the people in. When Yu Wenxin walked to the door, Zhong Xingyan still left behind him, "The upstairs is full of female relatives. It is better for Yuwen County Ma to stay here. This is where the men are." The place."

"You..." Chief Xiaoya got angry, and Yu Wenxin smiled even more happily, "Zhong Xingyan, Zhong Xingyan, you are still such a scoundrel, the princess should go to greet the princess first, I will stay here and wait for you .”

Seeing Yu Wenxin's firm gaze, Princess Xiaoya could only bear with it and go upstairs alone.

Zhong Xingyan didn't have the mind to talk to Yu Wenxin any more, turned around to entertain other guests, and left Yu Wenxin here.

Yu Wenxin didn't mind at all, and when he saw a few officials he knew well, he went up to greet him.

At this time, Fanyin was waiting upstairs for Princess Xiaoya, and when she saw her face full of resentment when she came up, she burst into laughter.

She had known for a long time that it was impossible for Zhong Xingyan to let Yuwenxin come upstairs. Even if he gave the money, that guy would act like a scoundrel, and others would really have nothing to do with him. No wonder Princess Xiaoya became so angry, but this is different from What does it matter to me?They asked for it.

Seeing Fanyin standing there with a smile on his face waiting for him, Princess Xiaoya's pace also slowed down a bit.

"Greetings for the princess, how are you doing these days?" Sanskrit saluted slightly, and casually uttered polite words.

Princess Xiaoya immediately adjusted her state, suppressed the resentment on her face, and said with a smile: "Of course I am fine. I heard that Grandma Zhong Si is pregnant now. You should be careful, after all, she is also the grandma of Zhongfu. It's General Zhong's wife, so I'd better do less business, so as not to be laughed at."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at for this kind of thing." Fanyin didn't care about Princess Xiaoya's sarcasm, "Originally, the Zhong family had no money, and everyone knows that the salary is not enough, so I can only take advantage of it and start a small business to support the family I can't compare to the identity of the princess."

"My status should be incomparable to you." Princess Xiaoya raised her head, "Yang Huailiu, the royal family's grace, must also be remembered in your heart, and you must always remember it."

"I don't need the Princess to worry about this matter, the grace of the Holy Majesty, the Zhong family will never forget it." Fanyin didn't bother to say more to her, and the Princess Xiaoya seemed to want to avenge Zhong Xingyan for blocking her, so she had to keep admonishing her when she stood here. Caixing, "Since you are the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, you should keep in mind the three obediences and the four virtues. General Zhong allows you to open the Vegetarian House, but you have to stop in moderation. Don't be ignorant of your status, and let the Zhong family embarrass you."

"The lintel of the Zhong family relies on serving the country, life and death on the battlefield, and it cannot be discredited by my humble small business." Fanyin is not afraid of Princess Xiaoya, "If the military achievements of the Zhong family can be wiped out by this little thing Wipe it out, isn't the princess too underestimating the spirit card that the Holy Majesty bestowed on General Huaiyuan?"

"The name of Jingpo Lake was also given by General Huaiyuan. The reason why the Suzhai Building was built here is also to pray for the men of the Zhong family who are about to go to the battlefield, and pray for the many soldiers."

Fanyin's words became more and more serious, "Princess Xiaoya thinks it too small."

"You are eloquent. I only have one or two sentences. You actually made up such a big reason for me. It's hard for you."

Princess Xiaoya's heart was even more angry, her anger was not vented, but Yang Huailiu added a spoonful of oil, these two couples are really hateful, they are all extremely hateful!
"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart, there is no need to make up excuses." Sanskrit bowed with one hand, "I swear from my heart, doesn't Princess Xiaoya pray for the soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield?"

"I have my own way of praying, so you don't need to worry about it." Princess Xiaoya adjusted her makeup, "Stop talking more, pass the news to the emperor's aunt and grandma for me."

Princess Xiaoya bit the last four words very hard, deliberately telling Fanyin that she is Princess Jingwen's niece and granddaughter.

Fanyin only felt that her way of doing this was really ridiculous, the Tian Family was ruthless, the King of Yue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were still brothers, they were also fighting each other, wishing that the other party would die sooner?Not to mention her grandniece.

This kind of words can only be thought of in the bottom of my heart, Sanskrit will never say it.

Let someone send a message to Xiao Guozi, and Princess Jingwen soon asked Princess Xiaoya to speak in the Jing Pavilion.

Sanskrit didn't accompany him any more, there must be a reason for Princess Xiaoya's strange targeting of her today, Sanskrit pondered for a while, then called Cuiqiao to her side, "Go and ask Wang Wenwu, there is something wrong at Fale Temple today. What's the matter, let him speak in detail."

Cuiqiao got the order and rushed there immediately, Sanskrit wanted to relax for a while to think about things, but at this time the table was completely set, the wives started to eat, and there were continuous praises and applause, it was not because the dishes were special How delicious, but the pattern specially designed by Fanyin makes people curious.

After being dragged by the ladies to explain the recipes of the dishes, the Sanskrit voice did not hide it, and explained the detailed process of each dish, and the ladies simply stopped asking. If you really want to eat, you should come to the Vegetarian Restaurant Well, because the complicated process is really hard to remember.

Su Zhai Su Zhai, since there is no wine, the male guests on the first and second floors are not as happy as the female relatives.

Quite a few guests who came to walk through the scene got up and said goodbye after a few mouthfuls, and they didn't stay any longer. Zhong Xingyan was grabbed and couldn't move, but it was Zhong Xingqi and Zhong Cheng, father and son, who took on the errand of seeing off the guests.

"Father!"

Zhong Cheng sent away the last group of guests, and hurried back from the outside mysteriously.

Zhong Xingqi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't run around, you performed well today, you have to make persistent efforts."

"Father," Zhong Cheng anxiously leaned into Zhong Xingqi's ear, "I saw Second Uncle and Yu Wenxin talking outside, and there were only the two of them."

Zhong Xingqi frowned, "Are you sure?"

Zhong Cheng nodded with certainty, "Absolutely, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Don't make it public first." Zhong Xingqi's face darkened, "Maybe it's just seeing off guests, and it doesn't necessarily mean anything."

Yu Wenxin was looking at Zhong Xinglian who was hesitant at this time, "Second Master Zhong, this is a good time, quartermaster, hehehe, if you are willing to nod, His Royal Highness King Yue will definitely protect you. In the end, the beneficiary is still you , why refuse?"
