[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Upon hearing the report from the servant, Yun Ye went out personally to greet Zhang.

"Mother, the flower viewing banquet is tomorrow. How come you still have time to come and see me now?"

"I was just walking around and ended up here." Zhang didn't say much. She followed Yun Ye into Qinghui Hall and dismissed the servants: "All of you go out. I have something to say to your young master alone."

Yun Ye nodded. Everyone left.

Seeing Zhang's worried expression, Yun Ye couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what happened?"

Zhang did not hide anything and told Butler Li what Rong Enqing had forcefully told him. "It's only been two days, and it is said that more than twenty families have confirmed that they will attend the banquet."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"It may be a good thing for tomorrow's flower banquet." Zhang frowned and said in a serious tone, "But, I'm afraid it's not good for the Marquis' Mansion."

"What mother means is..." Yun Ye looked at Zhang in confusion.

Zhang looked solemn and hesitated for a long time, but still said: "Since the preparations for the flower banquet began, people all over the capital have been waiting to see the joke. Almost no one has expressed their intention to attend the banquet. But in just these two days, so many people have suddenly announced that they will come to the banquet.

"No matter how the Marquis' Mansion did it, it was too high-profile, which made it easy for others to be jealous and for the emperor to be suspicious. You haven't forgotten what the current emperor's attitude is towards our Marquis' Mansion, right?"

Zhang's words were full of worry.

Yun Ye couldn't help but frowned, "Your Majesty has always suspected that the Marquisate would rebel. But, my great grandfather, grandfather, and father are all dead, and now there are only grandmother, you, and me left in the Marquisate. What can the three of us do to rebel?"

Yun Ye thought for a moment and continued, "I actually think that Grandmother did the right thing. Since the Marquis' Mansion has no intention of treason, we are not afraid of letting His Majesty see our cards clearly."

"No matter what, our mansion has a history of 200 years. If we don't have any connections or power, and can't even hold a small banquet, it will easily arouse suspicion. Who knows, others may say that our mansion is too hidden and has big plans.

"But now, we are showing some of our methods openly to prove that the Marquis' Mansion is not completely useless. First, people will not dare to look down on the Marquis' Mansion anymore. Second, showing the power of the Marquis' Mansion openly to others can also be regarded as an attitude to His Majesty and dispel His Majesty's concerns."

Zhang pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and said leisurely: "I hope so."

Just as she didn't dare to believe what her grandfather said about the Shun'an Marquisate plotting treason, now she didn't believe that Emperor Taihe would let the Shun'an Marquisate go.

After watching for so many years, she actually understands everything.

The claim that Shun'an Marquis Mansion was plotting treason was just an excuse to remove Shun'an Marquis Mansion, a remnant of the previous dynasty and a thorn in the eyes.

Yun Ye stepped forward, held Zhang's hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. There is nothing wrong with grandma's strategy. What we need to do now is to go out, meet people, change their perception of the mansion, and then integrate with everyone, and finally turn the former dynasty's remnants into true nobles of the new dynasty."

Zhang Hui held Yun Ye's hand and nodded heavily, "Okay. Mother believes in you and your grandmother. We can definitely change the situation of the Marquis' Mansion."

***

The next day, the flower banquet arrived.

At the beginning of the morning, the Song couple and the Cao couple came to the Marquis's mansion.

There are a lot of things to do today, and the tasks for several of us are not easy.

Zhang had to take charge of the overall situation of today's flower banquet and was too busy to do it, so she invited a few people to help.

Song was responsible for welcoming female guests at the door, while Yun Hao was responsible for taking Yun Ye to welcome male guests.

Cao was in charge of tea, snacks, banquet preparation and other food-related matters, while Yunjiang was in charge of arranging and coordinating the opera troupe, card games, pitching pots and other entertainment activities.

After the couple from the second room and the couple from the third room arrived, they began to sort out the matters they were responsible for and counted the maids and servants who were under their charge that day.

Because these things were prepared half a month ago, the Marquis' Mansion was in good order from top to bottom.

However, when it was already past the hour of Mao and there was still no sign of the couple from the fourth room, Zhang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

For today's flower banquet, in addition to the second and third rooms coming to help, the fourth room also made arrangements in advance to come and help.

"What do the Fourth Master and the Fourth Madam mean? They agreed to come at 12:00 a.m., but they are still nowhere to be seen. The Second Master and the Third Master came early. It's a pity that the Fourth Madam is the Madam's biological son!"

"Tell me, the Fourth Master and the Fourth Mistress are not waiting to embarrass our Madam and the Young Marquis, are they?"

"It's hard to say. The Madam had always wanted the Fourth Master to be the Marquis. After waiting for so many years, the Marquis was suddenly replaced by the Young Marquis. Do you think the Fourth Master and his family will be willing to accept this?"

"Oh! Come to think of it. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to accept it either!"

……

Several little maids were passing through the garden carrying things, chattering non-stop as they walked.

These words were heard clearly by Rong Enqing, Yunluo and Yunshu who were taking an early walk. The road where the maids passed was separated from them by a few clumps of flowers and trees.

Ever since Yun Shu moved to Tingyuxuan, formerly Qinxin Garden, Rong Enqing ordered her to get up every morning, greet her, have breakfast with her, and then take a walk with her.

Anyway, except for the rest time, Rong Enqing always kept Yun Shu by his side, eating, walking, talking, chatting...

Rong Enqing felt that Yun Shu was timid because she had little contact with people. Wasn't she afraid of her? That was perfect. If she let her stay by her side all day long, she would not believe that Yun Shu would still be afraid of her.

At this moment, hearing those gossips, Rong Enqing frowned, Yun Luo looked confused, and Yun Shu looked nervous.

Meixiang and others who followed behind them also had different expressions.

Especially the straightforward Chunyu, formerly known as Xiaoyu. On the first day Yunluo entered the mansion, Rong Enqing changed her name, promoted her to a first-class maid, and transferred her to take care of Yunluo.

Chunyu was about to rush out to argue with those gossiping little girls, but was stopped by Meixiang.

Chunyu looked at Meixiang in confusion, but Meixiang winked at her and told her to look at Rong Enqing.

Seeing Rong Enqing frowning and looking unhappy, Chunyu did not dare to act on his own.

In the time it took to interrupt, the little girls walked away.

After a long while, seeing that Rong Enqing was still silent, Meixiang asked tentatively: "Madam? Do you want me to send someone to the Fourth Master to see what happened?"

Rong Enqing nodded and said, "Let Eryue go in person and tell the couple in the fourth room what I said. If they can't make it by noon, they can't come again."

On such an important day, I wonder what the couple is up to. Rong Enqing was also drunk when he thought about how they were so disregarding the overall situation.

Look at the couple in the second house, how good they are at being human. Not to mention the Song family, they have always been decent people. Let's talk about Yun Hao, after what happened with Yun Luo and her daughter, Yun Hao's malice towards her was about to overflow, but now he came to help without hesitation.
