After getting married, although Wang Junlin did not take Chen Danying on his honeymoon, he still had a rare few days of leisurely and lazy days.
It was already March in spring, and the spring was just right. He was lying under the ginkgo tree in the middle of the yard, holding a book in one hand and a teacup in the other, taking a sip. The sunlight shone through the shade of the trees above his head.
, the breeze blew on my face, and I quickly fell asleep. Then I covered my face with the book in my hand that I hadn't read a word in, and fell asleep like this.
Isn’t this what the fairy days are like?
I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and soon Butler Zhang walked in, bringing a letter. The letter was sent from the palace of the patron prince. It was dictated by the old prince Yang Lin and written by Qin Qiong, but in fact it only said one sentence: "
I have adopted my adopted daughter, and I have not yet hosted a banquet for the guests. I will make up for it in three days. In my name, you will be able to handle the specific arrangements."
Wang Junlin looked at this sentence with a look of astonishment on his face, thinking that at this time, he was hosting a banquet for accepting Chen Danying, his adopted daughter. Could it be that his patron, the old prince, really wanted to celebrate this matter? Speaking of which, he did not bring a wife after the marriage.
It would be too rude to go to see the old prince. After all, the patron palace is Chen Danying's natal family, but Wang Junlin forgot this.
While Wang Junlin was full of gratitude to Yang Lin, he also felt very guilty. After all, by successfully marrying Chen Danying this time, he was taking advantage of Yang Lin. Moreover, he had not told Yang Lin about Chen Danying's true identity, and Yang Lin had always been interested in him.
He is very trusting.
…
…
In the early morning of the third day, the royal garden built by Yang Jian in Qujiang Pool before his death in Daxing City was borrowed by Wang Junlin in the name of his patron, Yang Lin, and the entire garden was rented out, inviting civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and nobles from Daxing City.
They toured the gardens and went boating together, and entertained guests in the royal gardens.
As for the real purpose of the guests at the banquet, the civil and military officials and dignitaries were not only surprised, but also sighed. Everyone knew that the health of his patron, the old prince Yang Lin, was getting worse day by day, and they all guessed that the old prince wanted to use this
The ancients did this kind of thing. The more people came and the higher their status, they thought the effect would be the best.
On the day of the garden visit, Wang Junlin and Qin Qiong stood at the door to welcome guests. Countless courtiers and nobles were invited. The sun had just risen, and the door of the royal garden was already crowded with guests, and there was a constant stream of carriages and horses.
Wang Junlin smiled so hard that his face became a little stiff, but most of the invited courtiers, regardless of their rank, were Wang Junlin's elders. Today, Wang Junlin welcomed the guests as Yang Lin's son-in-law. When they met, he first smiled, and then
Bow and salute, greet each other politely, and of course, accept gifts as well.
Not long after, a luxurious carriage with four horses and two shafts stopped at the entrance of the royal garden. Looking at the ceremonial flags displayed by the servants outside the carriage, it turned out to be the head of the Dugu family. Situ Dugu Changsu, a high-ranking member of the imperial court, came in person.
.
He was unable to marry Dugu Mingyue, so he always felt sorry for Wang Junlin of the Dugu family. Wang Junlin hurriedly stepped forward and stood respectfully outside the carriage. The servant opened the curtain and helped Dugu Changsu slowly get out of the carriage.
Dugu Changsu was dressed very casually today, wearing a black gown with a round collar, a jade belt around his waist, and an auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on his chest. He was not wearing a crown, and only had a green jade hairpin pinned to his bun.
After getting off the carriage, Dugu Changsu looked at Wang Junlin and snorted coldly, saying: "Well, Wang Junlin, you don't want to be the son-in-law of my Dugu family, but you have become the son-in-law of the old prince who is your patron."
"My nephew pays homage to Uncle Dugu." Wang Junlin and Qin Qiong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and explained: "Ming Yue is still young, and my nephew has always regarded him as his sister. He has never thought about the relationship between men and women. I would like to ask Uncle Dugu to consider him."
.”
Dugu Changsu also asked casually, but Wang Junlin's answer made him very satisfied and comfortable to listen to. He regarded Dugu Mingyue as his sister. The implication is that although he is not the son-in-law of your Dugu family, he can be treated as a family!
Thinking like this, Dugu Changsu nodded, smiled slightly, and said: "In addition to congratulating the old prince on taking in his adopted daughter, I also want to congratulate you on becoming a county prince."
Wang Junlin bowed and said: "I am very frightened when I get such a high position at such a young age. I also ask Uncle Dugu to give me more training. I will definitely live up to your majesty and uncle's teachings, honors and favors."
Dugu Changsu laughed and said: "You are much smarter than me. I can't teach you anything. In a few years, when everyone of my generation will be old, I think there will definitely be someone like you in this court."
.”
"Uncle Dugu was so complimentary..."
The two of them exchanged modest greetings for a long time. Dugu Changsu suddenly sighed leisurely, looked at him thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Looking at your Majesty's thoughts, I guess there is no suspense for His Highness King Jin to become the Crown Prince of the East Palace. Everyone in the world
Everyone knows that His Highness Prince Jin is acquainted with your boy..."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "The holy will is pending, and my nephew dare not make random guesses. His Majesty will make his own judgment on whether His Highness King Jin is the future Prince of the East Palace, but no matter which of the two princes, King Jin and King Yuzhang, is the Prince of the East Palace,
, my nephew won’t have any second thoughts.”
Dugu Changsu said dissatisfied: "How old are you this year? You speak like those old foxes and are as smooth and smooth as a loach. Who did you learn bad habits from at such a young age?"
Wang Junlin said innocently: "It's all my nephew's heart..."
Dugu Changsu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "In this way, I can rest assured. You are very capable. I look forward to you making more contributions to the Sui Dynasty. You will live up to His Majesty's grace and the people's popularity."
Wang Junlin bowed and saluted, and said very passionately: "I hope my eldest grandson will look up to you."
Patting Wang Junlin on the shoulder, Dugu Changsu walked into the garden with satisfaction.
Wang Junlin stood outside the garden gate, frowning and smacking his lips carefully at the conversation he had just had with Dugu Changsu. These conversations were worth going back and forth to savor. The more he tasted them, the more various flavors they felt in them.
Dugu Changsu seemed to have sent a very subtle signal. He also supported Jin Wang as the crown prince of the East Palace. In other words, he had seen that it was irreversible for King Yang Zhao of Jin to become the crown prince of the East Palace.
With a smile on his lips, Wang Junlin murmured: "These old guys... are all old foxes!"
Cars were coming and going outside the Royal Garden Gate, and most of the famous dignitaries from Daxing City were here.
After returning to Daxing City from Bingzhou, it may have something to do with Yang Su's death. In short, Wang Junlin obviously felt that his status seemed to have suddenly risen a lot. There are many reasons for this. Maybe it was because he did too much in several things in Bingzhou.
Beautiful, after all, whether it is killing Yang Liang or Gao Ying, it is a big deal, and everyone knows how difficult it is to kill these two people.
