Chapter 222 You guys have figured out the banquet trick



The wife of the Left Prime Minister became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. Finally, she was so angry that she simply stopped looking at the Left Prime Minister, trying to pretend that she didn't see it.

As for the expression of the old lady in the Zuo Xiang Mansion, the Zuo Xiang’s wife did not want to look at it either, as it really hurt her eyes.

The old lady's behavior was so shameful. She didn't behave like an old lady at all.

If this wasn't a world that values ​​filial piety, the Left Prime Minister's wife would have killed the old lady long ago.

The dissatisfied Zuo Xiang also knew what kind of person his mother was, but could he blame his mother?

That’s definitely not possible, so we can only blame the wife of the Left Prime Minister.

If today's banquet gets out of hand, he will definitely let his wife take the blame. As for my mother, I still have to talk to her in private.

Alas, it has been withheld for a lifetime, and it may be difficult to correct it.

The left prime minister sighed inwardly and continued to look around the banquet.

Yun Meng's eyes rolled, and he used his voice changing skills to spread an explosive message among the crowd.

"You know what? I heard that General Haru from Dongqing sneaked into Kyoto. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Is this true? Is Haru really that bold? Does he know what the consequences will be if he is caught?"

"I don't know whether it's true or not, but since the news has come out, it's probably true."

“That’s right, Haru is a famous major general of Dongqing Country, well versed in military tactics and battle formations, and I heard he’s also very courageous.

Maybe he really dares to sneak into Kyoto."

When the conversation between the two people was heard in the banquet hall, it was like a big stone was thrown into the hall, making the banquet hall more lively.

The attention paid to this piece of news actually exceeded that of the old lady accepting gifts.

Everyone gathered in groups of three or four, talking about Haru and their admiration for his courage and ability.

Putting aside the fact that Haru is an enemy, you have to admit that Haru is really capable.

It is impossible for ordinary people to seize a large area of ​​land from the State of Yan without bloodshed.

Even now that Dongqing and Yan are at war, the people in those lands have not rebelled, and the Yan soldiers have not responded to attack the Dongqing soldiers.

From this we can see how popular Haru is among the people.

The discussion was so loud that the Left Prime Minister heard it, and so did Emperor Yong'an.

When Emperor Yong'an heard his ministers praising a major general of an enemy country, his face darkened. Then, after hearing what the left prime minister was thinking, his face became even darker.

Unexpectedly, the Left Prime Minister also admired Ha Lu so much, and even praised Ha Lu in his heart for having the style of a great general.

If the policies he implemented had not been too avant-garde and affected the interests of the old aristocrats, perhaps Ha Lu could have really achieved great things.

Listen, is that human language? Is that what the left prime minister of Yan should say?

What was good about the policy that Ha Lu implemented? He took the land that was occupied by the nobles and distributed it to the common people, so that the common people could have farmland.

This idea is indeed good and advanced, but the question is whether the nobles are willing to do so?

This is the root cause of the chaos in the country!

Why didn't Halu dare to share the land of the native nobles of Dongqing Kingdom? It was because he was afraid that those people would oppose him.

If we only dare to implement it on occupied land, haha, that will also be a dead end.

Do you really think that all the nobles of Yan State are dead?

Originally, Emperor Yong'an was worried about the issues of military expenditure and food, but after knowing that policy, Emperor Yong'an no longer worried about it at all.

There are many people who are more anxious than he is.

If those people wanted to drive away and destroy Ha Lu, they had to surrender to Emperor Yong'an and provide him with money and food for military preparations.

Emperor Yong'an was not optimistic about that policy from the beginning to the end, so he was very cautious.

Yunmeng listened to everyone's discussion, and then listened to the thoughts of Emperor Yong'an and the Left Prime Minister, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It turns out that these two people are not optimistic about this policy. They are quite short-sighted.

If this policy was implemented by a new emperor, it would definitely be a great achievement for a new generation of emperors and would leave a strong mark in history books.

If it was promoted by the old emperor, it would also leave a wonderful mark, and future generations would remember it regardless of success or failure.

Unfortunately, both of them missed it.

Mo Bao came close to Yun Meng and whispered, "Mom, the food here is so bad."

"Are you hungry?" Yun Meng asked, thinking that if Mo Bao was hungry, she would have to get food from the space and give it to Mo Bao.

Mo Bao shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his arms, unfolded it and found two cakes inside, "This is a gift from my cousin, have some."

"Thank you." Yunmeng smiled happily. It was heartwarming to see a filial child.

When Mrs. Yun saw the interaction between mother and son, she came over and asked Yunmeng if she was hungry, and gave Yunmeng an oil-paper bag.

"There are snacks in there. You can eat them first if you are hungry. The food here is really inedible. I forgot to tell you."

"Thank you, mother. I just had a full meal before coming here, so I'm not hungry now." Yun Meng pushed the oil paper bag over, but Mrs. Yun shook her head and refused to accept it.

Everyone loves their own child, and Mrs. Yun couldn't bear to let her daughter go hungry.

Yun Meng had no choice but to put the snacks into her sleeves, but actually put them into her space.

It was also at this time that Yunmeng discovered that most of the guests brought oil paper bags, which meant they came to give gifts and also brought dry food.

I have to say, it is really miserable to be a guest in the Left Prime Minister's Residence.

Looking at the smiling children again, Yun Meng approached Madam Yun and asked, "Why did you bring your children here when you knew the food was not tasty?"

"Bringing children to birthday parties is for good luck, the host family is happy, and the guests are happy too, but, alas."

Madam Yun shook her head slightly, it was just that the old lady of the Zuo Xiangfu was too weird, so this attempt to bring good luck became a mere decoration.

But I would feel embarrassed not to bring my children along, after all, this is a custom that everyone has agreed upon.

It’s just that the number of children brought over varies. Some people even bring unpopular children to disgust the host family.

After hearing the explanation, Yunmeng was speechless. She didn't expect there were so many reasons.

But what does it mean to bring an unfavored child here to disgust the host family?

Yunmeng said she didn’t understand!

Mrs. Yun had no choice but to come forward to explain, and the unfavored child also secretly expressed that the guests did not attach importance to this banquet.

If you can understand it, how can you not feel upset?

Yunmeng: You guys have figured out how to run a banquet.

Can't we just express our dissatisfaction with the banquet openly?

"Look, the people brought by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion are all illegitimate sons and daughters. Not a single legitimate descendant has come. And the one who brought the team here is also the concubine."

Madam Yun pointed in a direction and explained in a low voice, "Although there is no rule that aunts are not allowed to participate in such occasions, it is also a convention.

Look at which concubine would represent the whole family to attend a banquet. At most, she would just follow behind the mistress of the family and attend the banquet.

And if the aunt showed up at the banquet, the mistress of the house would be laughed at for not being able to control the aunt and being incompetent."

Yunmeng's uncle nodded after listening to him, indicating that he understood and learned it, and he knew how to deal with such situations in the future.

It’s a pity that the Prince of Qi’s Mansion has no concubines, nor illegitimate sons and daughters, so there is one less tool to annoy people.
