Chapter 1,160: Honorable people plan, everyone gives gifts

Since the government examination list was released.

As the head of the case, Su Mingzhe kept receiving various invitations.

There is no need to mention invitations from colleagues, relatives and friends.

Many people in the same year also sent out invitations.

In addition, there were even many courtesans from brothels who sent invitations and wanted to talk to Su Mingzhe all night long.

Su Mingzhe didn't have any reaction to this. Sister Lin heard that there was an invitation from the oiran, and she was in a mood for several days.

Su Mingzhe had to stay at home every day, coaxing Sister Lin, but luckily he didn't let his backyard catch fire.

This day.

Su Mingzhe was at Sister Lin's place, accompanying her to copy the "Diamond Sutra" for her deceased aunt Jia Min, and planned to burn it on her death anniversary.

The maid Tan Yun suddenly ran in and reported: King Beijing sent someone to send an invitation, and the invitation was to come to the palace for a banquet two days later.

The nobles of the Daqing Dynasty were headed by the four princes and eight princes, and among the four princes and eight princes, the prince of Beijing County was the head.

Now Beijing County Prince Shui Rong is hosting a banquet invitation.

Su Mingzhe is naturally hard to refuse!

After hearing this, Sister Lin put down her brush and curiously asked the man:

"Second brother, why did King Beijing invite you to come over to the palace for a banquet?"

Su Mingzhe thought for a moment and then replied:

"If the King of Beijing invites me alone, nothing will happen. However, I am afraid that he will also invite others. If so, there may be some changes in the court, and then he will celebrate me in private. Make some connections."

After hearing this, Sister Lin pursed her lips and smiled:

"I'm not afraid that he will invite others, I'm afraid that he will let his own family come out to entertain guests!"

"What do you mean by Yu'er's words?"

Su Mingzhe was a little puzzled, but Sister Lin didn't answer, but continued to copy scriptures.

On the contrary, Zijuan, who was copying scriptures next to him, raised his head and said with a smile:

"How did the Second Master understand? Didn't my girl say that? She was afraid that King Beijing would ask his family to accompany you."

Su Mingzhe still doesn't understand:

"Isn't it normal for guests to come to your home and have family members accompany them?"

If Jia Zheng was inviting someone to dinner, he would definitely ask Jia Lian and Su Mingzhe to accompany him.

These are all etiquette for treating guests to dinner.

Seeing Su Mingzhe's slow reaction, Zijuan could only directly point out her lady's thoughts and said with a smile:

"Second Master, I heard that King Beijing has two younger sisters. They are pretty, but they are about the same age as you..."

"Hey, Yu'er turns out to be worried about this!"

Su Mingzhe had known for a long time that Sister Lin liked to be sour and jealous, but he didn't expect that he could even think about such a meaningless thing.

But at this time, his mouth was not borrowed, he must have opened his mouth to explain to Sister Lin:

"Yu'er, you know what I'm thinking. No matter if other women are beauties, or rich ladies from the families of princes, generals, and prime ministers, the place in my heart has always been yours, and there is no room for others."

After hearing what the man said, Sister Lin felt happy, but she said stubbornly:

"Who knows what you are thinking? You are talking nonsense..."

"Even if you didn't know it before, now that I've said it, Yu'er, you should understand it, right?"

Su Mingzhe looked at Sister Lin looking shy and timid, and couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva.

If it weren't for the purple cuckoos and snow geese nearby, Su Mingzhu would have let Sister Lin know what it means to be a jackal or a hungry tiger.

Two days passed.

Su Mingzhe followed Jia Lian and Jia Zhen to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing for a banquet.

The guests invited by King Beijing include three other princes: Dongping King, Nanan King and Xining King.

The Duke of Zhenguo attacked the Duke of Niu Jizong, the Duke of Liguo attacked the Duke of Liu Fang, the Duke of Qi attacked the Duke of Chen Ruiwen, the Duke of Zhiguo attacked the Duke of Ma Shang, and the Duke of Xiuguo attacked the Duke of Hou Xiaokang.

It can be said that except for the death of Duke Jiu, who was ordered to die, and Shi Guangzhu, the successor to the title, who had to observe filial piety and could not come, the four princes and eight princes all gathered together today.

Su Mingzhe, a man with no official title, looked like a superfluous person sitting among them.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe was also able to use his dancing skills to chat and laugh with everyone without making the situation awkward.

The banquet is in full swing.

Suddenly the Prince of Nan'an County opened his mouth and said:

"As you know, there is something strange happening in Zhungeer again!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Ma Shang and others who still had military power were even more confused:

"Didn't you say that after the great victory in the last Western Expedition, there would be no war in the northwest for at least twenty years? It has only been ten years now, so why is there such a movement in Zhungeer so soon?"

Prince Nan'an shook his head and sighed:

"Although we were victorious in the last Western Expedition, we only eliminated the main force of Zhungeer and did not completely destroy Zhungeer. After my Daqing King's Division returned to Ganzhou to defend itself, the Zhungeer tribe kept a low profile for a while.

In the year, it has annexed the surrounding tribes, and now it claims to have millions of troops and is fighting the Mongols! Once the Mongols surrender to Jungar, the war in the northwest will definitely start again!"

Niu Jizong's leopard eyes widened and he said in confusion:

"Ten years ago, we were able to defeat Zhun Geer. Now that we have not disbanded and returned to the field, we will naturally not be afraid of them! Why do you have to sigh so much? You have lost your heroic spirit!"

Prince Nan'an smiled bitterly and explained:

"If Zhungeer comes to invade the border now, I can refuse it alone, so I won't sigh! I am afraid that Zhungeer will wait for the opportunity..."

Everyone was confused at first, but after a while, someone woke them up.

The prince of Nan'an County was afraid of the opportunity waiting for the Zhungeer tribe. He was afraid that the emperor would pass away and the emperor would take over the power, right?

After understanding the reason, some of the people were angry and cunning, while others had their eyes rolling around.

My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!

It's a pity that Zhun Geer was Chi's conspiracy, because he was sure that the relationship between the new emperor and the nobles was not harmonious.

If you want to break the situation, you have to find a way to repair the relationship with Emperor Longqing.

The problem is, the Supreme Emperor is still here.

The four princes and eight princes are all loyal confidants of the Supreme Emperor. Who dares to wink at Emperor Longqing at this time?

Su Mingzhe, who originally wanted to remain silent, suddenly noticed that one or two eyes were falling on him.

After a while, everyone gradually became quiet.

Su Mingzhe could only stop using the chopsticks and said with a smile:

"Uncles and brothers, why are you looking at me?"

Su Mingzhe knew very well that these people wanted to be a bridge, but on the surface they looked innocent and looked at each other.

Another moment passed.

Then Beijing Wang Shuirong took the lead and said with a smile:

"Come on, brother Bao, let's drink this cup full again!"

"Yes, yes, brother Bao, we won't go home until we get drunk today!"

Everyone seemed to have found a solution to the problem and suddenly started laughing again.

The next day.

Su Mingzhe broke free from the arms and legs that were entangled with him. After getting up with difficulty, he rubbed his waist and eyes and began to secretly curse Beijing County Prince and Nan'an County Prince. Blood wine, doesn’t this force people to make mistakes?

There was a woman sleeping lightly on the bed. When she noticed that Su Mingzhe had sat up, she quickly put on a gauze gown, got up, and asked:

"Master Bao, are you going to wake up at night?"

"Um."

When Su Mingzhe saw that this little lady was so beautiful and stunning, she was no weaker than Sister Lin and Sister Bao. The Chinese medicine had taken over from her last night, and she felt a fever in her abdomen. She immediately forgot about getting up.

This woman was originally a dancer from the Prince of Beijing's palace, named Ruixue. Together with her sister Wo Xue, they were presented to Su Mingzhe by the Prince of Beijing.

The other four bastards also gave precious and rare gifts, which were placed on the table nearby.

After finishing, Su Mingzhe hugged Ruixue and lay back on the bed.

When he got up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

When preparing to leave, Su Mingzhe saw sisters Ruixue and Wo Xue cutting off the red sheets and putting them into their arms. He then ordered the maids waiting outside to ask the manager of the Beijing Palace to help prepare two soft sedans and carry the two girls back. .

This is all a trivial matter, so the manager of the palace will naturally not refuse.

Afterwards, Su Mingzhe went to see King Beijing to say goodbye and returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Not to mention, how sisters Ruixue and Woxue got along with Xiren, Qingwen and others after entering Su Mingzhe's yard.

After Su Mingzhe returned home, he first went to Rongxi Hall to find his father Jia Zheng and reported what everyone discussed yesterday.

Although Jia Zheng is a nerd, he also knows that the Rongguo Mansion must not only be loyal to the Supreme Emperor, but also maintain awe of Emperor Longqing.

Nowadays, the four princes and eight princes intend to let their sons take the imperial examination career and ease the relationship with Emperor Longqing. Naturally, Jia Zheng wants it.

After discussing with Jia Zheng, Su Mingzhe said again:

"Father, when we met yesterday, they all gave gifts. My son wants to refine a few furnaces of Yuan-Building Pills and Qi-Building Pills to return the gift to them. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. Can Father help me?"

Jia Zheng had no objection to this.

In this regard, Su Mingzhe first went to the warehouse to get some medicinal materials, but found that the quantity was not enough, so he went to the accounting office to pay some money, planning to go out to buy some later.

When he returned to his front yard, he saw that the small yard was quiet and quiet. There were only two little maids, Liang'er and Zhuo'er, guarding the door.

"Where are the others?"

Liang'er quickly replied:

"When I get back to the Second Master, Sister Xiren is taking everyone to find Miss Lin!"

Su Mingzhe couldn't help but asked in surprise:

"Did they go together? Do you know what they want from Sister Lin?"

Liang'er and Zhuo'er shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

Su Mingzhe was thinking about refining the elixir, so he took Li Gui out of the house without thinking too much.
