After a silent night, the next morning came. Feng Jueyu got up early after a full sleep, washed himself, dressed up, and was about to go out.
Because he has a big event today. He goes to Zhang Mansion, No. 1 Wencheng Street, to congratulate Old Man Zhang on his birthday...
After calculating the time, morning has almost passed. If I want to visit, I have to go earlier...
After tidying up her clothes, Feng Jueyu put the handwritten copy of "Wangyou Qingle Ji" in her arms, and looked at her extremely coquettish little face in the bronze mirror, and then went downstairs with satisfaction and came to the small courtyard.
.
The night before, Shangguan Ruomeng's condition did not relapse, and the eldest lady, who had a foundation in Xuan Gong, was very good at healing. In the middle of the night, Feng Jueyu didn't hear Xing'er go downstairs to the kitchen to boil water and cook medicine. She was probably mostly cured.
.
Feng Jueyu walked downstairs, thinking about saying hello to Shangguan Ruomeng's room before leaving. As soon as he walked out the door, he was startled by the busy scene in the small courtyard.
There were no less than twenty servants walking around the yard, most of them holding extraordinary brocade boxes in their hands. In the open space in the center of the yard, there were five or six oddly large mahogany boxes, and I didn’t know what they contained.
Each one had to be picked from the front yard by two big and thick men and placed in the yard...
The brocade boxes in the hands of several maids who look like maids are also constantly placed on the ground. The stacks are about as high as one person. They are filled with silks, famous teas and wines, and various rare things.
Countless...
On the stone steps in the yard, Shangguan Ruomeng, wearing a red ink-like cloak, stood under the spring breeze, and Xing'er, who was wearing a floral dress, directed the servants to move here and there.
Today, Shangguan Ruomeng's face is still slightly pale, but she is dressed surprisingly solemnly: she is wearing a gold silk brocade dress, a green willow cloud pattern Xiapei on her shoulders, a Chaoyunxiang fragrant bun on her head, and her hair is
There are exquisite jasper hairpins on the top, and a pair of embroidered shoes with beautiful mercury and silver moon on the soles. They are solemn, elegant, noble, and generous. They can not only highlight the true beauty of the beautiful girl, but also bring out the maturity and stability that have been in the market for a long time.
This outfit shows a lot of thought, not only is it generous and decent, but it also has a more outstanding temperament.
Why are you not resting in your room this early in the morning and why are you dressed so solemnly? Feng Jueyu felt guilty.
Looking at the piles of gifts all over the yard, I guess this young lady is going to give gifts to some house again...
"Sister Ruomeng, morning!"
Young Master Feng walked over with square steps while making plans. The two masters and servants turned around when they heard the sound. Seeing that it was Feng Jueyu, they couldn't help but look at each other, remembering the joke played in the building the night before.
Xing'er mischievously covered her mouth and had fun, but Shangguan Ruomeng glared back, then said: "Good morning, uncle" and ran away.
Shangguan Ruomeng's cheeks were flushed with red clouds, and he was slightly blessed and said: "Brother Feng, good morning."
Feng Jueyu stepped forward and said, "Sister Ruomeng, have you recovered from your illness? Why don't you rest in the room?"
After yesterday's incident, the distance between the two became much closer, so much so that Shangguan Ruomeng didn't have any objection when Feng Jueyu walked to her side.
Instead, she thought of Feng Jueyu's considerate smile in the small building yesterday, and Shangguan Ruomeng still felt a little sweetness lingering in her heart. She said, "Thank you, Brother Feng, for your concern. My little sister's illness is no longer in the way."
"It's early spring, and the winter feeling is not gone. My sister needs to pay more attention. Have you put on more clothes?"
"add."
The two of them were chatting, and Feng Jueyu asked, "Sister, what are you doing?" He pointed at the lavish gifts all over the yard.
Shangguan Ruomeng said with a smile: "Brother Feng doesn't know that today is the birthday of Mr. Zhang Changling, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. My little sister has prepared some small gifts and is going to celebrate his birthday."
"Oh, who? Zhang Changling? I seem to have heard of it somewhere." Feng Jueyu said.
Shangguan Ruomeng concealed a smile and reminded: "Brother Feng, don't you remember? The organizer of the spring talent fair a while ago..."
Feng Jueyu thought for a while and then suddenly realized: "It's him. Since he is the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the chief minister of the imperial court, there must be many people going."
Shangguan Ruomeng said: "Indeed, there are many. Mr. Zhang is not only the Sima of the court and the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, but also the president of our Tiannan Chamber of Commerce. In addition, his wife is the eldest princess of the court and the relative of my emperor."
elder sister……"
"Holy shit." Feng Jueyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said to himself, this person has a great background. He has so many professional titles, and he is also the emperor's brother-in-law. It's so awesome.
Seeing Feng Jueyu's surprised look, Shangguan Ruomeng smiled, but held back and said: "If Brother Feng has nothing to do today, why not go with my little sister? Grandpa will also go, as well as father, second uncle... By then
, all the dignitaries from the Tiannan Realm will be present, how about I introduce you to Brother Feng?"
Shangguan Ruomeng knew that although Feng Jueyu had been coming to Shangguan's family for many years, she actually had very few contacts with dignitaries. Now she was ready to accept Feng Jueyu. In addition, Shangguan Ruomeng was kidnapped by the Gold and Silver Society the day before.
After careful consideration, Meng thought of formally bringing Feng Jueyu to get to know some famous people in the Tiannan Realm, so as to avoid conflicts in the future if someone didn't know him, which would be bad. That's why he made the invitation just now.
.
She really wanted to take Feng Jueyu to meet the distinguished people in Tiannan...
It's just a pity that Young Master Feng has other things to do today. After listening to what Shangguan Ruomeng said, Feng Jueyu was confused for a moment. In fact, he also wanted to meet the big shots in Tiannan City. If he didn't care about others, he could just be familiar with them.
, to prevent offending people or causing misunderstandings when meeting a certain boss in the future.
However, he promised Old Man Zhang that he would wish him a birthday today and promised that if things don't get over with him, how will he face him in the future?
"This..." Feng Jueyu hesitated: "Sister, to tell you the truth, my brother is going to meet a friend today. It's a coincidence that the two things happened together. Otherwise, I will go first.
To meet a friend, you tell me your address and I will rush there as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ruomeng nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Zhang's birthday party will start at noon. Brother Feng, don't be late. This is Mr. Zhang's famous birthday advice. You can take it with you when you arrive at Mr. Zhang's birthday party."
If you hand it over to the house, you can go in and find us."
With that said, Shangguan Ruomeng handed over a red letter of advice. Feng Jueyu didn't read it, took it in his hand, said hello to Guan Ruomeng and left the Shangguan Mansion.
…
Walking to the gate of the mansion and turning to the street, Feng Jueyu walked slowly towards Wencheng Street. As he walked, he asked himself: What kind of day is it today? Why are you celebrating your birthday? They all have the surname Zhang. It’s really interesting. Hey...
Just as he was thinking about it, Feng Jueyu was suddenly startled and realized something immediately. It couldn't be such a coincidence. Both of them celebrated their birthdays today and both had the surname Zhang?
Thinking of this, Feng Jueyu quickly took out the name card and opened it. The red name card had Zhang Changling's name printed on it, and the address written on the signature was No. 1 Wencheng Street.
Damn it? Feng Jueyu is dumbfounded. Old man Zhang is actually the Grand Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the husband of the eldest princess? Or the Grand Sima. Damn, damn, damn, it’s over now... If Shangguan Lingyun knew, I would have known each other a long time ago.
If you meet old man Zhang, he will keep asking you questions. It’s troublesome...
what can we do about it?
Feng Jueyu walked around in circles anxiously. He knew that he couldn't go to this birthday at all. If he went, there would be more trouble in the future.
What should I do? There is...
Suddenly, he had an idea and thought: I quickly sent the gifts in, and then stayed away. If Shangguan Ruomeng asked, I would just say that I had diarrhea after drinking the overnight tea. This is a good enough reason. Anyway.
I can't go...
Thinking of this and calculating the time, 80% of Shangguan Mansion's troops were about to set off. Feng Jueyu hurriedly trotted towards Zhang Changling's house.
Without further ado, within half an hour, Young Master Feng arrived outside the gate of Zhang Mansion, No. 1 Wencheng Street. When he arrived at his destination, Feng Jueyu was even more dumbfounded...
A hundred meters away, I saw an endless stream of people on the spacious street. In front of the gate of Zhang's Mansion, it was like a bustling city. On both sides of the street, there were one after another extremely luxurious carriages.
Four tall horses were parked side by side outside and opposite the big wall of Zhang Mansion.
Countless people carrying large and small brocade boxes, boxes, and wheelbarrows blocked the spacious street. The long queue stretched straight from the front of Zhang's house to the end of the street and even turned.
A bend.
In addition, in an alley not far away, sedan chairs of various styles were neatly stretched deep into the alley. In front of each sedan chair, there were four bearers dressed as servants standing neatly, and some even had as many as...
eight...
In front of the Zhang Mansion, there was a lot of excitement. Two rows of servants guarding the courtyard stood in two rows to greet the guests entering Zhang Mansion. On the left side of the door, there was an old man who looked like a butler, holding a pen in one hand and a book in the other.
Recording, remembering, and shouting...
"Sir Sima Anguo, he and Miss Sima came to visit and sent as a congratulatory gift a jade evergreen tree and Yunyang dripping jade trunk..."
"Master Mu Hongtu, the Marquis of Zhenguo, came to visit and presented a pair of purple ink square inkstones and three jade carvings of fortune, wealth and longevity..."
…
The identity of the congratulatory person and the names of the gifts were yelled out by the old housekeeper. From time to time, bursts of exclamation could be heard from the crowd. Coupled with the polite chatter of people coming and going, the street
The bustling chatter of the servants... really turned into a mess.
There was a long queue in front of Zhang's house all the way to the end of the street. Feng Jueyu stood up and watched, his nose almost turned crooked: "Old man Zhang is too corrupt. Celebrating a birthday is like attending a big fair. You still need to give gifts."
What's the point of queuing up? It won't be dark until I send you the chess records? No, I have to think of a way..."
After thinking about it, Feng Jueyu couldn't wait any longer. If he waits a little longer, Shangguan's large group of people will come to kill him. When they meet, they won't be able to leave even if they want to. Thinking of this, Feng Jueyu squeezes forward...
