The Zhenjiang army and the horse infantry army are all commanding envoys, the emperor's favorite ministers, the big celebrities around the official family, and Tang Ning, the head of the Tang family, is going to take a concubine.

The news quickly spread to all corners of Kaifeng Mansion, and there were many interested people. However, there are many people who are not interested.

Those who know something about Tang Ning's deeds will know that Tang Ning did not blindly rely on the official family to get to where he is today. He himself is quite powerful. It's just that he is too young, let him grow up for a few years, more than ten years, and he will also be able to pull out a character who can take charge of himself in the future.

The more far-sighted people in the DPRK, such as Zhang Dan, Zeng Bu, and Cai Bian, all had great expectations for Tang Ning.

Today's court is in the time of power alternation, a considerable number of old ministers are old, and gradually return to their hometowns, and there are very few people of appropriate age who can take over the heavy position.

is green and yellow, which is enough to describe today's Song Ting.

Tang Ning, as the leader of the new generation of important ministers, has not yet reached the age of establishment, and has already made small achievements, as long as he is a person with a little vision, he will not ignore him.

And there are not a few people who hate Tang Ning, Tang Ning's rash behavior in the early years offended people a lot, and the incident of hitting Zeng Fan's house made people worry about whether they would be beaten by this guy in the future.

What's more, they all think that Tang Ning is just a favorite of an official family, and when the official family gets tired of it, it will be the day when he is ruined.

So they have the mentality of watching a good show, and they will never befriend Tang Ning. When necessary, he will also wear small shoes for Tang Ning, and try every means to hinder Tang Ning from doing things.

Anyway, I had already stood in line at the court meeting a few days ago, and everyone knew very well whether they were friends or enemies.

So, in the days when Tang Ning took a concubine, there were not many people who came to visit. However, everyone who came was surprised by the specifications of Tang Ning's concubine, which was obviously similar to marrying a main house.

Could it be that this guy wants to divorce his wife? Na's concubine is a substitute for the location of the main house?

Cao De, who came to the banquet on behalf of the Cao family, was very dissatisfied with this.

And Wang Zhongxiu, who came to the banquet on behalf of the Wang family, was also very dissatisfied when he saw this pomp. That's his own niece, why does this stinky boy say that he will take a break?

Just when the two met and conspired to make a big fuss, Wang Shi came.

explained in detail to his two elders that the wives and concubines of the Tang family did not distinguish between size and size when they married, and only after the marriage did they talk about the rules of size, and the two of them could be regarded as a little stopped.

Of course, there is no such rule. This was made up by Wang Shi temporarily, and Tang Ning's fairy-like master was brought out, and his name was used to persuade the two.

For Tang Ning's master, those who are interested in Tang Ning will definitely know something. Judging from Tang Ning's current skills, his master is definitely not an ordinary person.

Tang Ning, who knows astronomy and geography, knows everything, and can say a sentence or two about everything, his master is naturally an extremely knowledgeable hermit master.

The Song people have always respected talented people, so the two didn't say much and quickly accepted this reason.

Cao De liked Wang Shi very much, when Wang Zhongxian was still in Kaifeng and did not leave, Wang Shi's eccentricity made the elders in the family very fond of it.

When Wang Qi was not dead, he also liked Wang Shi very much. Therefore, she is very popular in the Wang family and the Cao family, after hearing that she married a little-known stinky boy, the head of the Cao family also lost his temper, and later the family was good at persuading him, so he was persuaded to stop, and did not let him send someone to arrest Tang Ning to Kaifeng for questioning.

After chatting with the two for a while, another person came over.

"Isn't this an outsider?" Cao De smiled and said, "Why is Wailang here?" ”

The man was not tall, but he had a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiringness. Seeing Cao De greeting him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Master Cao, don't make fun of the lower officials." ”

Wang Zhongxiu pointed at the person and said to Wang Shi: "This is your uncle, Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of Rites. ”

If Tang Ning is estimated to be spitting again, many people may not know who Li Gefei is. But when it comes to his daughter, basically no one doesn't know.

Li Gefei's daughter is Li Qingzhao, who is just 16 years old this year......

However, Wang Shi must not have known, stood up and said very respectfully: "The concubine has seen my uncle." ”

Li Gefei said with great emotion: "Oh, when you were young, my uncle I saw you." It's just that at that time, you hadn't reached the length of my uncle's little arm, so I guess you forgot about your uncle, right? ”

Wang Shi said embarrassedly: "The concubine was still young at that time, and she didn't even remember whether her father hugged her or not, and she couldn't remember her uncle's affairs." ”

"Haha, this is nature, Shi'er doesn't have to be so nervous." Li Gefei stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Then the four of them sat together and chatted for a while, and many guests entered one by one from outside.

At the table where Wang Shi and the others were, ordinary guests were not allowed to sit down. Unless the identity reaches a certain height, or is related to the family, you can sit here.

Now it is Cao De, Wang Zhongxiu and Li Gefei are seated. Cai Bian contracted the wind and cold, and he didn't come, and he sent his son over, and he was not qualified to sit at this table.

Qi Fu, Shen Qian, Zhu Mian, Zhang Jingming and others have already started drinking at the other table. A kind of general colonel of the Zhenjiang Army made three tables in the courtyard, and everyone was sitting in danger, making up their minds not to embarrass their own generals on such a grand occasion.

Cheng Yang explained to a few people on the side: "Oh, look at it, this is Zhou Cheng, the waiter of the Ministry of War, and that is Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of Rites, oops!" There is actually Cao De, the commander of the front division of the palace...... Not...... But it's a matter of course that they're here.

Hey? Isn't that the child of the Shi family, could it be that their old Shi family also values Tang Ning?

Oh! The privy envoy and the prime minister actually came in person, it seems that the stinky boy still has a bit of face......"

As he was saying this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then there was a loud roar: "King Shen Chitose has arrived!" ”

King Shen?!

As soon as I heard the name, the field

Everyone in the group was shocked. Zhao Li, who is blind in one eye, is very self-aware, he acts very low-key, even if others want to get close to him, he will not give him a chance.

However, the more this is the case, the more frightening it becomes, a prince who can figure out his own positioning, as a relative of the emperor, will definitely be treated with special treatment by the emperor.

King Shen, who is usually rarely seen, suddenly appeared, which shocked everyone. But soon they also reacted, and they got up one after another, waiting for King Shen to enter.

After Zhao Tong strode in, everyone in the field made a move.

"Chitose."

"His Royal Highness King Shen."

It's neat, but the greetings are different.

It's not that they're stupid, it's that the relationship between the royal family and the ministers in the Song Dynasty is very delicate.

Even if Zhao Xu came, there was no need to be polite in this kind of private occasion. Get up and say hello, even if it's a perfunctory kind, Zhao Xu won't care.

Anyway, although the voice of greeting was not very neat, at least it still gave Zhao Yan a lot of face.

Zhao Yan was very happy in his heart, so he also bowed his hand to the surroundings and said: "You don't need to be polite, this king came here today just to make up for the excitement of General Tang." ”

With that, he walked towards the front table.

After everyone got Zhao Yan's response, they sat back down. When Zhao Yan took a seat and began to talk and laugh with Cao De and Zhang Dian, there were many ministers who came to toast with wine glasses.

The so-called banquet is originally such a function, not just to add icing on the cake to the host's house. It is also a very important process to communicate with and build relationships with the guests who are present.

As he spoke, there was another commotion at the main entrance. Then I saw the muezzy messenger standing at the main entrance shouting with a very constipated expression: "The bride has arrived!" ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Shi, who had a normal face, and didn't know whether to say it or not.

Seeing Zhao Li's expression, Zeng Bu, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile: "King Shen Chitose doesn't know, this Tang family is different from other people's families.

Their family's family law is that wives and concubines are not considered big or small when they are married, and they are judged after marriage. Moreover, their concubines are not bought and sold, and the income from asking for gifts is mainly based on whether the woman is willing or not.

If the woman is unwilling to enter, their family will not force it. ”

"Oh? It's a novelty. Zhao Yan nodded.

Zhang Dian pouted and said: "I am still used to the lack of etiquette in the mountains, and the concubines use the scale of marrying wives, and their own concubines refuse to give them to others, even if they have a queen, they will not be concubines, and they will be treated equally."

Have you ever seen anything like this? The old man has never seen it, it's too rude! said that it is a concubine, in my opinion, it is no different from marrying a wife, at best it is just a matter of status. ”

After Zhang Duan finished speaking, seeing Wang Shixiao's embarrassment, he casually arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry, the old man is straightforward, and I hope Mrs. won't mind." ”
