Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

He Jingyi followed Wang Jingye, and he intended to be close to Nie Chengping. Although Nie Chengping did not enter the officialdom, they were both Jinshi.

Everyone will pay attention to them.

General Xue was waiting at the entrance to the reception room. When he saw them come in, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry for not coming here to meet you."

The people who were listening were stunned. Brother Xue calling him Brother Wang was already a compliment to him, even if he called him Brother Wang.

Could it be that the person who could be addressed like that by General Xue was just a businessman?

Everyone stands up.

Wang Jingye clasped his fists and said, "I've heard a lot about you. Let me introduce you. These are my brothers-in-law, Chengping and Cheng'an."

Brother Nie Chengping saluted together, and General Xue returned the salute.

The guests were even more surprised.

General Xue was polite enough by nodding, but he actually returned the greeting?

When it was He Wenyan's turn, Wang Jingye introduced him as follows: "This is Mr. He, the son-in-law of Uncle Mo, a close friend of mine who I met in the capital."

This time, General Xue simply nodded in acknowledgement, and He Wenyan bowed respectfully, "I've long admired you. I'm deeply honored to be able to attend your wedding banquet."

General Xue hummed, without even looking at He Wenyan, and smiled at Wang Jingye, "Brother Wang, please come in."

Wang Jingye and his companions followed General Xue in and were seated at the best seats. General Xue sat at the same table with them. Apart from them, there was no one else.

Xiao Xiangming and Shang Yuanwu did not come. They were impatient to socialize in unfamiliar occasions. As long as they could add makeup to Sister Wang's makeup, it would be fine.

He Wenyan was surprised at the treatment Wang Dongjia received in front of General Xue. Even a dull person could see that it was abnormal, let alone he was not dull.

It was also obvious that General Xue didn't care about him at all. He looked around quietly.

At this time, a eunuch came to the palace. His name was Eunuch Liang. He was the eunuch who came to the palace to add makeup to Queen Mother Wang.

Everyone knelt down, led by General Xue, to thank the Lord for his grace.

At this time, everyone who still understood understood that this was not because of General Xue, but to give face to the Wang family.

If the Xue family is to be given dignity, it will only be given to General Xue's children.

How can the Xue family be honored by giving it to a daughter-in-law who remarried?

No wonder General Xue personally acted as a matchmaker and arranged for his sister-in-law to marry his brother-in-law.

He Wenyan didn't think of this, not because he was stupid, but because he hadn't reached the upper class yet and didn't understand.

He thought it was giving honor to the Xue family and was envious.

The bride bid farewell to her family. Mrs. Xue sat down and shed tears, which was rare for her. She told Wang Huilan to live a good life and be filial to her parents-in-law.

Wang Huilan, wearing a red veil, knelt with Liao Wenshan. She called him mother and Liao Wenshan called him mother-in-law. Now Wang Huilan was considered the daughter of the Xue family.

There was no need to kowtow or pay respect to General Xue and his wife. General Xue only said to his brother-in-law, "Listen to your wife."

Originally, the brother was going to carry the bride out, but because General Xue was not his biological brother and was getting married for the second time, Liao Wenshan carried the bride onto the bridal sedan.

Then the banquet began. General Xue toasted each table and the guests congratulated him one after another.

No one came over to greet Wang Jingye and his group. Wang Jingye just talked a few words about the dishes on the table and then invited He Wenyan to eat.

After a while, a middle-aged man came over with a cup. He said to Wang Jingye, "Brother Wang, I want to offer you a cup and apologize to you. My disappointing brother-in-law has caused you so much trouble."

When he said this, Wang Jingye realized it was Prince Weixing. He stood up and said, "Your Excellency is too polite. It was just a misunderstanding. You don't have to be so. It should be me, Wang, who should offer a toast to Your Excellency."

He raised his cup and gestured towards the prince, "Let's drink first!"

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Prince Weixing said, "Frank! I like straightforward people."

He also drank the wine in the glass.

Brother Nie Chengping and He Wenyan had already stood up. Prince Weixing said to the servants following him, "Add another chair. I want to have a few drinks with my brother today."

What else can be said about the royal relatives being so eager to help?

He Wenyan was flattered. This was the Prince, the emperor's uncle, and he and the Prince were sitting at the same table.

Wang Dongjia is not a simple businessman. He sits at the same table with General Xue. Even the prince does not sit at this table, and the prince calls Wang Dongjia "Brother Wang".

He Wenyan realized it later and thought of the Queen Mother.

At first, He Wenyan scoffed at the Queen Mother's behind-the-scenes rule.

A hen does not crow in the morning; when a hen crows in the morning, it means her family is in trouble.

But the father-in-law said, don't underestimate the queen dowager. In ancient times, there were Queen Dowager Xuan and Queen Dowager Deng, neither of them was inferior to men, and the same was true for Queen Dowager Wang.

Over the past few years, this has indeed been the case. All the ministers are convinced of the Queen Mother. He Wenyan can only say sourly in his heart: It's inappropriate.

He Wenyan re-examined Wang Dongjia and saw that he was talking to the prince at ease. He was not intimidated by his identity as a "businessman" or flattered by the fact that the other party was a prince.

He looked at the guests again and suddenly saw a familiar face at the farthest table.

Startled, I squinted my eyes to look carefully.

It was his cousin He Shanqiao who was brought with him.

Why is he here?

It’s impossible that his wife brought him here. Even his son Shanluo wasn’t brought here. What kind of occasion is this? Why is his cousin here?

Looking more closely at that table, I saw that they were all young guys, and I didn't recognize any of them.

He Shanqiao was dragged here by his classmate Xue Qingguo, who said that there was a banquet at his house today and they should go for a meal.

The wedding banquet was at dusk. After school, Xue Qingguo asked for leave from his teacher, saying that his aunt was getting married and he needed to go home. He was afraid of the dark at night, so he asked He Shanqiao to accompany him.

He Shanqiao didn't expect it to be General Xue's mansion. He looked at Xue Qingguo again and asked suspiciously, "Are you General Xue's son or nephew?"

Xue Qingguo said, "I am my father's fourth son, the youngest. I've been in poor health since childhood, so I studied literature. Hehe! Don't tell anyone else. I treat you as a friend, so I only told you."

Eat what you have.

The family could only send food to Donglin Academy every ten days, and the young boys were all greedy.

He Shanqiao and Xue Qingguo lived in the same room. They took turns eating. He Shanqiao was well-educated and often helped Xue Qingguo with his homework.

He didn't know that Xue Qingguo was the son of General Xue. It was the first time he entered the residence of a high-ranking figure whom he had previously thought was a big shot.

Fortunately, he didn't have to meet his parents, so he ate at the same table with Xue Qingguo and other kids of the same age as the Xue family.

He Shanqiao discovered that his cousin had come with the businessman who built a restaurant for his aunt's family.

Actually sitting at the same table with General Xue?

The Wang family's background should be above that of the Xue family.

The Mo family is kind and blessed, but unfortunately my uncle is blind.

This was what He Shanqiao thought after he came to the General's Mansion.

Xue Qingguo brought him here to satisfy his hunger, so he decided to eat. The table was full of delicious food. Xue Qingguo said a few words to the others and picked up some food for him.

The little boy ate up all my food, and the table was soon empty, so a few more dishes were served.

Xue Qingguo whispered, "When my father came back, they didn't dare go to the kitchen to add more food, nor did they dare go out to eat. Look, they looked like starving ghosts reincarnated."

He Shanqiao said: "They are different from us. People who practice martial arts must eat a lot to gain strength."

Xue Qingguo said: "That's right, my cousin eats twice as much as I do for every meal."

He stretched out his arm to gesture. He Shanqiao saw that the other boys in the Xue family were all burly, but Xue Qingguo was the only one who looked like a skinny monkey.

So I never thought of him as being connected with the General's Mansion.
