Chapter 456 Your Husband
The old man walked into Xu's house with a young girl.
Inside the Xu Mansion, there was a bustling atmosphere. The dignitaries were either chatting with each other in the courtyard, or they were already seated, drinking tea and eating snacks while waiting for the banquet to begin.
The maids and servants coming and going in the Xu Mansion all had smiles on their faces.
They received quite a few red envelopes today, which were enough for their half-year salary.
Although today will be more difficult, they hope that every day will be this hard.
Especially for some old servants in the Xu family, they felt gratified.
These old servants have long regarded themselves as part of the Xu family.
In fact, over the past 10 years, the Xu family's influence in the court has become increasingly weaker.
There were not many dignitaries attending the ancestral worship ceremony 10 years ago.
But this time is different. For this grand ceremony at the Xu Mansion, it can be said that basically all the important officials in the court have arrived.
And all this is because the Xu family has produced many good men, especially the fifth young master.
It is even very likely that if this continues, the Xu family will not only rely on the influence of their ancestors to inherit the title of nobility.
This fifth young master can also make great achievements on his own, and it is not impossible for him to be a duke of two kingdoms in one mansion.
"This Xu Mansion is truly extremely luxurious." The young girl standing next to the old man snorted, her tone sounding very disdainful.
"Please don't say that. This is where your husband has lived since he was a child. I believe Your Highness still has feelings for this place." The old man said softly.
Listening to the old man's words, the girl frowned slightly and sounded a little dissatisfied.
It is not known whether it was the three words "your husband" that made the girl unhappy, or whether she felt unhappy because the old man was speaking for the Xu family.
"Please take a seat, both of you."
A servant came over and guided the two of them.
Although the clothes the old man wore were rather worn, the temperament of the woman next to him made people feel extraordinary just by standing there.
Not to mention that Butler Wang had let them in.
Maybe this old man is a friend of the young masters.
After all, the young masters often practice and travel outside, so it is very normal to have a few friends.
"Thank you very much." Old man Liu Feng nodded and sat down in a seat.
The girl naturally sat next to the old man.
"Here, look at that."
Liu Feng pointed at a middle-aged man with a big belly.
"This person is the current Minister of Revenue, Jiang Yuan. His father, Jiang Wan, and I were good friends. After serving as an official for a few years, he left Wudu to practice Buddhism.
It's just that his father really has no talent in cultivation. In my opinion, instead of just living another half a year, it would be better for him to make contributions in the court.
Look at that man again, that man is the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, known as the Black Justice, full of selflessness, but his whole face is black.
Look at that..."
Liu Feng introduced some dignitaries in the courtyard to the girl one by one.
The girl memorized them all, and then said, "Kill them all when the time comes!"
"Tsk"
Master Liu Feng smacked his lips and sat up straight.
"Princess, you can't say that. These people are still quite useful. Besides, the relationships in Wudu are complicated. Most people are very selfish.
They just want wealth and glory and to keep their official hats.
As for other aspects, no matter who is the emperor, they don’t care.”
"Hmph." The girl turned her head away again, "Don't call me princess. She and I haven't gotten married yet."
"Okay, Your Highness." The old man smiled and changed his words, not taking the matter to heart. "Your Highness, have a sip of tea. I believe you are thirsty too."
The girl did not refuse. She took the teacup, gently lifted the black gauze of her hat, and drank it all in one gulp.
When the girl lifted the veil that covered her face, a little girl saw her appearance and was in shock for a long time.
This big sister is so beautiful. Just when the girl put down the teacup, there was a noise coming from the direction of the courtyard gate.
A man walked into the courtyard.
When the man walked into the yard, almost all the officials walked over and greeted him.
The man was wearing a Confucian blue shirt and his hair was tied up in a bun.
He has a tall and straight figure, with the temperament of a warrior, and also the bookish air of a scholar.
That angular face is indeed quite good-looking.
"I didn't expect that Your Highness has grown so beautiful. Are you satisfied, Princess?" Liu Feng looked at the girl with a smile.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The girl turned her head away: "It's just so-so."
"Hehehe." The old man didn't say anything, just smiled.
"Master Xu, long time no see."
"Mr. Chen, I saw this in the palace half a month ago."
"Since Lord Xu took on the role of commander, his temperament has become different. Standing here with a righteous spirit, he is like the sun."
"The old lady really likes the pair of jade ruyi that Mr. Huang gave her before."
"Hahaha, as long as the old lady likes it, that's good." Lord Huang was stunned for a moment and spoke quickly.
When Mr. Huang gave Xu Ming a gift before, it was the pair of jade ruyi.
The old lady said she liked it, so naturally Xu Ming accepted it and gave it to the old lady in the Xu family.
And this Lord Huang had a good relationship with the King of Qi before.
Lord Huang has not slept well these days because he is worried that he will be punished later.
And now that Xu Ming said this specifically, it means that he has let bygones be bygones.
If there weren't so many people here, Lord Huang would have almost cried.
More and more officials came to Xu Ming and said some auspicious words. From their flattering appearance, it can be seen how powerful Xu Ming is now.
Even the Minister of Works was smiling apologetically beside Xu Ming.
"He is just a fox relying on the power of a tiger! He is colluding with these insects! He has nothing like his great-grandfather's spirit!"
The girl said dissatisfiedly, her peach blossom eyes under the hat looked very angry.
"Hehehe." The old man didn't say anything, just smiled faintly.
"I have some other things to do, so I will not accompany you for now. Please eat and drink well and treat yourself as at home." Xu Ming bowed.
"Master Xu, you are too polite."
"It's normal for Lord Xu to be busy."
"Master Xu, take care."
These officials hurriedly said, how could it be possible to keep Xu Ming.
And when Xu Ming happened to pass by Liu Feng's table, Xu Ming subconsciously looked in the direction of the girl. The girl also happened to raise her head, and the two looked at each other.
