The carriage arrived at the gate of the east posthouse in the city. Before the group could dismount, someone took the lead to greet them.
"Brother Jinxiao."
Hearing the sound, Chu Nanzhi opened the curtain and saw a man with a majestic figure of eight feet standing in front of the carriage.
This man has a broad chest and seems to have a majesty that is hard to match.
His eyes were shining with cold stars, and his two curved eyebrows were as thick as paint, which gave him a certain temperament.
Chu Nanzhi motioned to Lin Jinxiao to get out of the carriage first, and he slowly came out with the four little guys.
"Oh, this is the emperor's nephew, the emperor's niece and his siblings, right?"
The man carefully looked at the five Chu Nanzhi, mother and son, and praised them: "They are all born with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, which is really enviable."
The little guys looked at the sullen look on this sturdy man's face, shrank in fear, and quickly leaned on Chu Nanzhi's legs.
Lin Jinxiao did not know this person, but he heard that the tone of his words should be that of Dongjin Wang Lin Jinmu.
It happened that at this time, Tang Ru hurriedly came forward and said: "To report to King Dongjin, the general has invited the head of the Luyan Ganglin family and the elders here."
"Please come quickly, Concubine Yue has been waiting inside for a long time."
Lin Jinmu eagerly led Lin Jinxiao's family inside.
The post house here is located in a prosperous place in the east of the city. Because it is located along the Jinglu Canal and close to the Donghua River Pier, the location is very cheap. It is the most luxurious post house in Luyan Port. It is not only the place where the royal family and dignitaries of Jinling City stay.
It is also a place where foreign envoys from all walks of life are received along the way.
In modern times, it can be regarded as a landmark building of a city.
Although he has been in office for a long time, this is the first time Lin Jinxiao has come to this post house. He looks at the gorgeous and majestic pavilions everywhere, which are no less than those of the imperial palaces in Beijing.
It is already so luxurious that Yi Cheng even thought about building a palace to receive Concubine Yue a while ago, which is really irritating.
Chu Nanzhi waited for Chu Nanxiang, Chu Nanzhu sisters, Zhou family, mother and daughter Jinhui to come forward before continuing inside.
The Chu family sisters were a little nervous when they came to such a strict place for the first time.
Yin Liuxuan held Xiao Muci for Chu Nanzhu, and kept comforting the two sisters with a warm voice: "You don't have to be afraid, it's just a family banquet. The second mother and third mother are the sisters of the princess and relatives of His Highness.
Concubine Yue's fellow countryman, she will be very happy to see you."
When Mrs. Chen saw that this handsome husband was so interested in the sisters of the Chu family, and even flirted with the two girls of the Chu family, she felt very upset and panicked.
She doesn't know where this Chu family woman got her bad luck, but she heard that this man is the son of the Jingzhong Taiwei.
She couldn't just watch such a good young man let the daughter of the Chu family get another advantage.
"I am very touched by how warm-hearted the husband of the Yin family is. It's just that these aunts from my grandnephew's family are girls from the countryside after all. They have never seen much of the world, so don't be surprised by the husband."
Mrs. Chen came up quietly and started to interject when she had an opportunity: "Hey, I don't know what my great-nephew is thinking. You said he wants to take the girls out with him to have a long experience, so he shouldn't.
If you choose such a time, it will cause a lot of jokes and it will damage the face of our Lin family."
"This uncle is joking."
Yin Liuxuan had already heard about the bad things in Chongrenfang, and replied with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude: "Concubine Yue is also a noble person who came out of Tong'an Village. When she arrived in the palace, she was still loved by His Majesty, and she was not afraid of my uncle's jokes. Junior
I also like the simple appearance of the villagers who have never seen the world."
One sentence left Da Chen speechless.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. Yin Erlang looked more polite than Lin Jinxiao, but he didn't expect to start a quarrel with others, and it was impossible to refute him without using any curse words.
In one simple sentence, he not only mentioned Concubine Yue, but also praised the simplicity of several sisters. It was really impressive.
Moreover, she also found that the son of the Taiwei seemed to be more interested in Nanxiang, a dead girl, than himself. Every time he went to the house, he would always ask roundabout questions about his second sister.
Could it be that this young man is interested in Nanxiang?
But it doesn't look like a good thing in calculation.
Just as he was hesitating, the Chen family's obedient voice sounded again: "The husband of the Yin family has been in Beijing for a long time, and he is used to meeting young ladies from high-ranking officials and noble families. I am afraid that he has not really seen a few Wen girls in this remote place for the first time.
A graceful and dignified Jiangnan woman."
After a pause, she quickly asked: "I guess your husband is not married yet, right?"
"To be honest, I was married a long time ago, but my wife died a year after we got married."
Yin Liuxuan seemed to have lost his patience, but after glancing at Chu Nanxiang, his attitude immediately softened: "But this junior has his heart."
Mrs. Chen felt very sorry that her granddaughter could not be betrothed to her grandnephew. It would be good to marry the Taiwei's son.
Unwilling to ask further questions, Chu Nanzhi stopped her from opening her mouth with a sullen face: "I see that the third uncle's face is not very good today. I'm afraid she is not feeling well, or my granddaughter-in-law will send someone to take her away."
Are you going back to rest?"
The sharp eyes frightened Mrs. Chen.
After going through so many things, she did not dare to provoke this couple again, and replied solemnly: "Nan Zhi, I am fine. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Yuanxi came over and heard that she was the elder of the Lin family. She immediately wanted to please her and came forward eagerly to flatter her: "You are the third uncle of the Lin family. I have admired you for a long time."
"Who are you?"
Mrs. Chen looked at the pretty oval face in front of her and was very confused.
Tang Yuanxi explained with a smile: "Oh, my little girl's name is Yuan Xi, and her father is the general of the dynasty. The person who just accompanied brother Jinxiao and King Dongjin in was my little girl's brother, the new governor of the state capital."
"It turns out to be Princess Yuanxi."
The eldest Chen family quickly bowed down in fear, and the other elderly uncles also hurriedly came over to pay their respects.
Mrs. Chen looked at the cute little girl happily and asked anxiously: "Is the princess getting married?"
For a son who cannot get along with the Taiwei, he has a grandnephew from his mother's side who is also very handsome. If he can get married to the General's Mansion, he will also find a reliable support.
"not yet."
Tang Yuanxi thought of her brother's promise to her, and glanced meaningfully at Chu Nanzhi, who had an indifferent expression: "But it's almost over."
Da Chen was a little disappointed.
Ji Wanying noticed that these old ladies didn't seem to be getting along well with her cousin-in-law, so she bowed politely to them without saying much.
Mrs. Chen kept looking at her. She looked like a beautiful woman with a shy face. When she was confused, Tang Yuanxi immediately introduced her: "This is Princess Wanying, the only daughter of Princess Yanjun."
"It turns out that she is the daughter of Duke Anguo. It's really disrespectful."
Mrs. Chen nodded with a smile again, and then asked: "Is Princess Wanying getting married?"
Ji Wanying was speechless to this old woman, why would she ask such a question when meeting someone, but out of politeness, she finally forced a smile and shook her head.
He didn't bother to talk to the woman anymore, for fear that she would ask questions again, so he immediately stepped forward and took Chu Nanzhi's arm, urging her affectionately: "Sister-in-law, let's go in, don't keep the king brothers and the noble concubine waiting for too long.
"
This intimate act not only surprised Tang Yuanxi, but also confused Chu Nanzhi.
She pretended to smile gently: "Princess, please."
