Chapter 549: The Son of the World Arrives
Of course, the rewards are also rich, while He Zeng's position in the court is constantly consolidated, it is precisely because of Sima Yan's support that Princess Yiyang has to marry into their He family. Being able to successfully marry the Sima family is tantamount to making the He family's status in the court a step further, which makes He Zeng, who has passed the sixtieth birthday, feel a sense of ambition.
Don't look at the current He Zeng's official residence Situ is ranked as the third duke, but those who have been officials know that the position of the three dukes is feng shui in turn, and few people can stay in the three dukes for a long time, not to mention that He Zeng is almost at the age of Zhishi, how to ensure that the He family can maintain the status of the court as always after he retires, has always been a problem that He Zeng has been thinking about.
Marriage with the Sima family is the most reliable and effective means, and with this layer of in-law relationship, the big ship of the He family can go further in the sea.
"The son of the world has arrived." The doorman sang loudly, and his voice was loud, and everyone could still hear it clearly in the hustle and bustle of Hefu.
He Zeng and He Shao immediately stepped forward to greet him, now Sima Zhao is seriously ill, naturally he can't come out of the palace, the prince Sima Yan can appreciate his face, and it has already made He Fu feel honored, and the civil and military officials also looked at it together, some envious, some jealous, some amazed, with different expressions.
Liu Yin also mixed in the crowd with Shi Chong, originally Liu Yin didn't get the invitation from He Mansion, but Shi Chong had, when Liu Yin proposed to Shi Chong to go to He Mansion to attend the wedding banquet, Shi Chong of course agreed, he also thought that Liu Yin had the intention to slap He Zeng, this little favor in Shi Chong's opinion, is nothing at all.
Every dignitary who participates in the banquet inevitably has to bring a few personal attendants, but it seems that there is also a limit to the number of people, otherwise everyone will come to He Mansion in front of and back, and He Mansion will not be crowded.
Liu Yin wants to snatch relatives at the wedding, so naturally there can't be too few people. In addition to Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo and A Jian entering the He Mansion as their personal entourage, Chen Lin also sent a number of masters, disguised and mixed into the He Mansion. The fish and dragons were mixed, and the people sent by Chen Lin were all spy masters, so they easily entered the He Mansion.
He Zeng was originally a person of extravagance, never tired of eating, never tired of being fine, and the dishes made in his kitchen were better than those of the princes and emperors, and the cooks who cooked. They were all hired by He Zeng at a high price, and his cooking skills are even higher than that of the imperial chef. Every time the court feasted, He Zeng did not eat the dishes of the palace, thinking that it was not as delicious as his own home, and it was difficult to swallow. Sima Zhao was not angry, but authorized He Zeng to bring his own dishes to the palace.
Today's wedding banquet, many people came for the well-known food in He Mansion, and He Zeng certainly did his best. Cook and select the ingredients yourself, and delicacies from the mountains and seas. The land and water are presented to make a series of delicious dishes for guests to eat.
Zhang Le, a foodie, can be regarded as having a place to use today, looking at the delicious and attractive delicacies on the table, Zhang Le's index finger moved, and he was salivating. didn't care about anything else, shook off his cheeks, stuffed it up, and praised it while eating: "It's so delicious!" ”
Zhao Zhuo is face was black, and he immediately took a step away. deliberately kept a distance from Zhang Le, posing as if I didn't know you, and calling this thing a brother and sister is really embarrassing.
But later, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but remind him: "Second brother, be reserved, don't miss the right thing." ”
Zhang Lezheng was eating on his head, his cheeks were bulging, and he said vaguely: "I can't make a mistake...... This kind of delicacy is a terrible thing if you don't eat it...... You see, I'm not the only foodie here......"
Zhao Zhuo looked around, and sure enough, there was more than one overeater like Zhang Le, don't look at these officials who are well-dressed and very gentlemanly, on top of this banquet, they gobbled up, without the slightest gentlemanly demeanor, and wiped out the plates of delicacies in front of them.
One person stopped his cup and said, "He Gong is really a gourmet person, such a delicacy, unparalleled in the world." ”
The other person was crying, everyone was surprised, and the man sighed: "There are countless delicious foods on the table, but my stomach is full, and I am sad!" Everyone laughed at it.
Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but sweat profusely, and he didn't think it was surprising that he dared to put Zhang Le, a foodie, into this pile of people. Zhao Zhuo came here to shoulder a major mission, he didn't touch a drop of wine, he didn't move, his eagle-like eyes stared at any movement on the spot, waiting for Liu Yin to give an order.
Liu Yin naturally didn't stay with them, mingling in the crowd, Liu Yin secretly got in touch with the secret agents who sneaked in to determine the time to make a move.
At this moment, the doorman loudly reported that the prince had arrived, and Liu Yin was meeting Sima Yan for the first time, and his eyes were naturally attracted to the past.
Sima Yan is nine feet long and tall, and he has the feeling of standing out in the crowd, legend has it that Sima Yan has a different appearance, his long hair reaches the ground, and his hands are over his knees, at this moment his hair is coiled, but he can't see the length or shortness, but his hands over his knees are clearly there, and it is really longer than ordinary people, Liu Yin can't help but sigh secretly, this Sima Yan may have been born in the wrong era, if it is put in the next generation, this height, this arm length, has the strength to fight with Yao Ming.
The eagle's hooked nose and the eagle's sharp eyes are probably inherited from the next generation of Sima Yi's eagle and wolf Gu characteristics, and the overall impression of Sima Yan is a gloomy and gloomy feeling.
He Zeng's father and son greeted him with a smile, Sima Yan was able to deign to come to He Mansion, which indeed gave He Zeng great face.
"The prince deigns to the humble house, so that the humble house is a puffy wall."
Sima Yan smiled slightly: "King Jin is unwell, he was unable to go to the mansion to congratulate him in person, today's wedding day of the prince, King Jin specially asked me to come to congratulate me, not a thin courtesy, not a respect." ”
As he spoke, Sima Yan waved his hand, and immediately someone close to the servant stepped forward with two big gift boxes, since Sima Yan came to give gifts on behalf of Sima Zhao, the preciousness of the gifts was naturally self-evident. However, the two gift boxes were covered with a layer of red cloth, which made it impossible to get a glimpse of the clues, but looking at the heavy steps of the person carrying the gift boxes, it proved that it was not an ordinary thing.
He Zeng was humble and polite on his lips, but his heart was already happy, although He Fu was not bad for money, but the King of Jin gave a generous gift, which represented a kind of glory, He Zeng naturally smiled.
After the arrival of the prince, the guests of the He Mansion were almost all together, at this time, the Situ Mansion of Nuoda was crowded, the scene was spectacular, seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the bride. (To be continued.) )
