Chapter 72 The Feast of the Shifu (1)
Wansong Ridge is north of Fenghuang Mountain, starting from the lake shore in the west, facing the river shore in the east, and backed by the towering imperial city. This area is rich in shade and noble in the ancient road. Countless huge houses and gardens are lined up, and most of the residences of the royal relatives of the Song Dynasty and important officials in the court are here.
From Fenghuang Mountain to Wansongling, Seyuan, Youranju, Qinyuan, Zhushan, Rongwang Mansion and other houses are the most famous mansions among the places where the powerful people of the Song Dynasty live.
Among these houses, the Rong Palace is the prince's mansion of Zhao Yun's younger brother, Zhao and Rui. As the most noble prince in the Song Dynasty, the only remaining prince, there is no need to say much about the Rong Palace, which occupies the best and best position in Phoenix Mountain besides Seyuan.
In fact, in terms of scale and specification, the Rong Palace is much higher than the Seyuan built by Shi Miyuan at the time. It is just because King Rong has too many honors, and King Rong Zhao and Rui have always been low-key and are a wealthy prince with peace of mind. They never care about major affairs in the government and have no domineering behavior, so few people in the Rong Palace know about it.
Seyuan and Youranju were originally Shi Miyuan's mansions. After Shi Miyuan retired, Seyuan was given to Zheng Qingzhi, who was appointed as prime minister. Youranju was Shi Miyuan's mansion in Lin'an City.
After Shi Songzhi was restored, he was promoted to the capital to be promoted to the governor of the government and moved his mansion to the Wansongling house, which originally belonged to Shi Miyuan, in the middle.
Shi Miyuan was Shi Songzhi's uncle, and Shi Songzhi was the successor and helmator selected by Shi Miyuan himself. After Shi Miyuan retired and returned to his hometown Dongqian Lake to rest, he gave Youranju to Shi Songzhi.
As Shi Songzhi's most beloved daughter, Shi Zhenxiang's banquet was naturally held in Youran. It is said that Shi Songzhi would also attend in person.
Shi Xiang bowed and welcomed the two royal ladies who were invited into the mansion, turned around and rubbed their faces that made their muscles a little sore because they kept laughing. He was very worried about his sister Shi Zhenxiang in his heart.
He was the strong man caught by Shi Zhenxiang. Although he was the only male man in Shi's mansion, Shi Xiang really had no status, especially in front of Shi Zhenxiang. Shi Zhenxiang naturally could not come out to welcome guests in person. If only the subordinates in the mansion were allowed to welcome guests, although it could, he was still a little bit negligent after all.
Therefore, Shi Xiang, who had not been appointed as an official and spent every day outside, became the best strong man.
Facing Shi Zhenxiang, Shi Xiang knew that no matter whether he resisted or not, the result was only one. Either he obediently listened to his sister who was not very sexually interested to welcome the guests, or he was beaten up by his sister and then came out to welcome the guests with a bruised nose and swollen face. Which is more important? Shi Xiang, who has lived under the shadow of Shi Zhenxiang since childhood, naturally knew how to choose.
“有客到!”
Hearing the shouts of the servants, Shi Xiang quickly turned around and squeezed out a cheerful smile to meet the steps.
Shi Zhenxiang explained very clearly that everyone who came today was her distinguished guests. If Shi Xiang dared to neglect the slightest, hum. Without saying the result, Shi Xiang himself knew that it would represent the worst result.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Nalan Yu, who was still beautiful without makeup, appeared in front of Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang ran down the steps in two steps in three steps.
“纳兰姑娘……”
Shi Xiang was really happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw Nalan Yu appear. Shi Zhenxiang has been in a bad mood these days, and Shi Xiang probably knows some reasons. His elder sister was known to be the basis of being hunted for beauty, and then Nalan Yu has been avoiding it. Shi Zhenxiang has not met a noble girl from a noble family for many years, let alone a woman with a stunning face and noble temperament like Nalan Yu. With Shi Zhenxiang's old eyes, it can be seen that Nalan Yu is still an unmarried girl.
This made Shi Zhenxiang even more determined to take such a businessman's daughter into her room as her personal favor. She didn't know who told Shi Zhenxiang's old truth without eyes, which made Nalan Yu hide. Although Shi Zhenxiang smiled when she went to Qingyuan, she didn't know how many gold and jade porcelains she fell when she was in the mansion.
Shi Xiang has his tail in the mansion these days, for fear that Shi Zhenxiang will take the opportunity to catch him and beat him up. Shi Zhenxiang lost her temper, so she naturally alarmed Shi Songzhi, but this is something that will not be mentioned for the time being.
Although Shi Xiang didn't say anything, he basically had no hope for whether Nalan Yu could come to the banquet today. Although he didn't have much contact with Nalan Yu, Shi Xiang could tell from Nalan Yu's appearance and performance when he was with Jia Sidao that Nalan Yu was not as good as those ladies who were spoiled on weekdays. If his sister wanted to use force, it might be possible. If she just slowly slaps her hard work, she would probably be zero.
Like Shi Zhenxiang, Shi Xiang has a different kind of confidence in his own Shi's family.
However, it is true that the Song Dynasty was established for hundreds of years, and one family and three ministers were born. There was a person who was not a royal family but could be named a prince when he was alive and a prince after his death. Which noble family in the Song Dynasty could compare with?
The person who originally thought it was impossible to appear was actually there. It naturally made Shi Xiang overjoyed.
It seems that my life will be much better later... As soon as Shi Xiang said, he saw Jia Sidao coming out from behind Nalan Yu, and the smile on his face froze.
Jia Shixian? How could he be with Nalan Yu? And he was sitting in the same carriage? Could it be that Nalan Yu hooked up with Jia Sidao so quickly?
Shi Xiang knew Jia Sidao's nature very well. If a woman like Nalan Yu was not someone Shi Zhenxiang was interested in, he would have tried every means to get it. But since it was already Shi Zhenxiang's forbidden body, Shi Xiang naturally knew that he could only stand aside.
Now that Jia Sidao suddenly appeared halfway, how could she not be surprised? What's more, half a month ago, I saw Nalan Yu hating Jia Sidao, but I didn't expect that the two of them would hook up together and even come to the banquet together in the same carriage. The information revealed by itself is very unusual.
Not to mention, Shi Xiang knew very well that this banquet was basically female relatives and men, and there seemed to be no one. Jia Sidao could not receive an invitation at all.
But Jia Sidao followed Nalan Yu.
Alas, today, it seems that there is no good banquet, Shi Xiang wailed in his heart.
"...Haha, Brother Shi Xian is here, it's really a bright future!" Shi Xiang looked at Jia Sidao with a stiff smile.
"Haha, Brother Zong Sheng, these words are a bit insincere!"
Jia Sidao naturally knew that he was destined to be an unpopular character today, so he laughed and clapped Shi Xiang with a fist and a half-true Dao.
"Where is it! Brother Shi Xian is serious! Please please!" Shi Xiang's smile became even more stiff, and he shouted to the servant on the side with some guilt: "Come here, go and report to his father, Lord Jia of Lin'an Mansion is here to visit!"
