King Gui of Qi Kingdom gave birth to seven children, two of whom were daughters, and the remaining five were sons.

Among the five sons, the earliest born died, and the second is Wang Zhongxiu, the current head of the Wang family. The third child also died after birth, the fourth child refused to be an official Wang Zhongshan, and the fifth child was Tang Ning's father-in-law, Wang Shi's father Wang Zhongxian.

The Wang family is a very large interest group, although the official position of the head of the family, Wang Zhongxiu, is not very high, but he is just a Wan'an military secretary who joined the army. But he, a householder, joined the army, and not everyone could be it.

First of all, it can be seen from the fact that he remained in the city of Tokyo and no one had a problem with this matter, that this official position was only temporary.

Moreover, Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of Rites, is also related to the Wang family, and Wang Gui's eldest daughter is married to him. Although he died of illness, Li Gefei continued the strings, but in the end he was still Wang Gui's son-in-law and brother-in-law of the three brothers of the Wang family.

In addition, because of Wang Zhongxian, the Wang family and the Cao family are also in-laws. Although the behemoth of the Cao family looks down on the Wang family very much, they also have a lot of complaints about the Wang family because Wang Zhongxian abducted their girl Cao Xiu - after all, they originally wanted to send Cao Xiu to the palace to be the queen......

But it's already happened, and there's no way around it. So over the years, the relationship between the two families has gradually improved. At least Cao Xiu's brother Cao De is willing to have a good relationship with the Wang family.

In addition to the above people, there are more than a dozen officials in the DPRK and China who are related to the Wang family. Wang Zhongxiu said that he was going to hold a family banquet, and if there was nothing to do, these people would come out to give him this face.

Tang Ning still went to Wang's house to participate in this family banquet, after all, if Wang Shi went alone, it would be difficult to say that he would be pointed at by the seven aunts and eight aunts.

Although there was still some pain in his buttocks, Tang Ning felt that he could tolerate this level of pain, so he went with Wang Shi.

Because of today's non-stop bathing, the Wang family's family banquet was held in the afternoon, close to dusk.

When Tang Ning and Wang Shigong and his mother arrived, it was about the time when the officials had just gotten off work.

Wang Shi is dressed up very beautifully today, before going out, she is thrush and powder, with the golden step shake given by Zhao Xu on her head, wearing a rain-soaked azure gown, and the embroidered patterns on the collar and cuffs Tang Ning is confused at a glance.

I don't know when Wang Shi got this dress from Tang Ning, but it is said that this dress was given to Wang Shi by the queen when Wang Shi entered the palace on behalf of Tang Ning to celebrate with the queen and a group of noblewomen.

Usually this woman is reluctant to wear it, and like the golden step on her head, she is all held high to admire. Today she put on this gown, and wore this golden step, it seems that she went back to her parents' house today to have a good time.

Tang Ning's favorite is the inadvertent flow of Wang Shi

The cuteness that is exposed, over the years, she has been able to surprise Tangning every time.

From her girlhood when she dressed as a man, to the young woman who is almost thirty years old now. Although Wang Shi no longer has the original pure and dusty aura, only the coquettishness she inadvertently showed has never changed.

Wang Zhongxiu's wife, the second aunt of Tang Ning and his wife, heard that the two were coming, so she came out warmly to receive them.

Wang Zhongxiu went to pick up Li Gefei, but Wang Zhongshan hadn't come over yet. Except for her, no one else in the family was qualified to come out to receive Tang Ning and his wife.

However, this is only the attention of some families, such as Tangning's family. It's the same when a family comes, and deliberately going to receive it seems a lot more raw.

Wang Shi walked like an old hen that had just laid eggs, and in such an eye-catching state, Liu immediately noticed her. Then she had to praise Wang Shi's steps and clothes.

Danyang Hou is a hot topic in Tokyo City, the people say that Danyang Hou can win the battle, officials say that Danyang Hou is favored by the emperor, and the pawn traders are talking about Danyang Hou's money-making skills, in short, no matter what class, when it comes to Tang Ninglai, there are always two sentences to talk about.

As the saying goes, if a person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Wang Shi, as the wife of Danyang Hou, naturally became one of the objects of heated discussion. So her step shake given by the emperor and the gown given by the queen herself were widely spread.

After Liu finished boasting, he was wondering in his heart. There shouldn't be anyone at home who offended her, who did she want to stimulate when she came back wearing such a dress today?

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a reason. So I had to give up, and when my husband came back, I would ask him again.

Wang Shi heard Liu's praise on the point, his eyes immediately narrowed into crescent moons, and he joked with a smile: "Auntie, look at what you said, you said that your niece looks good in this step and her clothes are good-looking, why don't you say whether your niece is good-looking?" ”

Tang Ning's poor mouth has changed a lot over the years, and he offended people a lot because of this mouth. Now that children can make soy sauce, he is no longer the young and frivolous Tangning he was at the beginning.

In many cases, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the future for your children.

But in front of his wives, he will always make this stinky problem.

After Wang Shicai finished saying this, he answered on the side: "I didn't praise people, of course people can't do it, do you still need to ask?" ”

Wang Shi turned his head and glanced at Tang Ning, sneered and did not answer. What does it mean to be underwhelmed? This man is typical. Tang Wen is really born to this bastard, and both father and son are the same.

Seeing this, Liu didn't know that Tang Ning was funny, but thought that the little couple had a conflict and were angry. So he hurriedly played a round and said, "What about Liang'er?" Why didn't you two bring good?

Come? ”

"Don't mention it, the academy is closed today, and the kid took his younger brother to play crazy all day without knowing where to go. He only came back when we both went out, and everyone was too tired.

I wanted to tell him to take a bath and bring him over, but he fell asleep while washing.

The niece saw that he was tired like this, and she didn't let him come because she thought about it. Otherwise, this kid will be awkward in his heart, and he may have to play face after he comes, and everyone will be unhappy. Wang Shi replied helplessly.

Tang Ning listened to it, and laughed secretly in his stomach.

I made up this excuse for him. The fact is that Princess Dekang came in the morning, and after that, Tang Liang took her out to play. When the couple went out, the child had not returned, so they had to throw him down and come over by himself.

Anyway, with Qi Fu and the guards sent by the royal family with him, nothing will happen. Wherever they like, let them go.

As they spoke, several people went into the backyard. The maids and servants of the Wang family are busy setting up tables and chairs.

Wang Shi brought a generous gift, three walking beads, a few calligraphy and paintings, and a teapot made by a famous craftsman in Tokyo, as well as jade, gold and silver.

Correspondingly, the Wang family will also return the favor, but this is a later story.

Liu took the two into the backyard, and the housekeeper brought the gift list. When Liu Shi saw it, she smiled happily, and she originally had a lot of complaints about Wang Shi wearing such luxury, but now she has no opinion at all.

If there are more things on this gift list, Wang Shi will have no problem even if she moves her family here - it's a big deal to move to the Danyang Hou Mansion, where she has been, and it is much more spacious than here......

Then Liu arranged for the two to go to the side hall to rest, and after the arrangement was completed, they would take the two to sit down.

After that, guests came one after another. Although the number of people is small, most of them are familiar faces. After meeting Tang Ning, they came over to talk.

Wang Zhongxiu's son-in-law Mao Hetong has always been Tang Ning's fan brother, although he is only a weak scholar, but he has the dream of fighting on the battlefield and shedding blood for the country.

But because he has been weak and sick since he was a child, he can't dance a gun or a stick, so Mao Hetong can only be a petty official in the Privy Council and can't fulfill his dream.

In the early years, because of the family banquet, he had a relationship with Tangning, and then Tangning made contributions all the way and expanded his territory. Mao Hetong also admired Tang Ning very much because of this.

Although he was five years older than Tang Ning, he had always respected Tang Ning when he saw him, and even if Tang Ning repeatedly asked, he never called Tang Ning brother-in-law, but Danyang Hou.

When he came, he saw Downing at a glance. brought his wife over and chatted with Tang Ning with a smile.
