The son-in-law is a thief

The Yong'an Hall is not the main hall of the Longevity Palace, but Qin Wuyong basically lives in this hall. If there is no major event in the court, he will listen to the government at the imperial gate of the Yong'an Hall. Today's family banquet is also arranged at this time.The palace people decorated the Yong'an Hall early in the morning. After all, it was coordinated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although the decorations are not festive, they all reveal elegance. The exhibitors carefully chose coral, tortoiseshell, and giant clams as the main decorations. , In addition, a large area of ​​Shu brocade was used as the fabric in the palace, and high-quality porcelain was used for the utensils. Some of the porcelain were made of brocade, and some were inlaid with rubies.

Although he said it was returning home, Qin Wuyong knew very well in his heart that this was the first step in the cooperation between Nianguicheng and Wanshigang.

Zhaoyang entered the hall, only to see Emperor Guangxiao sitting on top, the back seat was vacant, and Concubine Su Gui, the mother of the prince, was independently seated on the left side of the main seat.Or after not seeing his daughter for a long time, Emperor Guangxiao took the initiative to get up from the throne and walked towards Zhaoyang. Zhaoyang saw his father coming towards him, and it seemed that his father had aged a lot, and he felt mixed feelings for a while. .

"I have met my father, long live my father." Zhao Yang was about to kneel down, but Qin Wuyong helped him up.

"It's good for my son to go home." Qin Wuyong said, his eyes naturally fell on Gu Ruyang again, seeing that even though Gu Ruyang is a woman, she is still heroic today, and the Lord of Wanshigang is naturally very heroic.

"I send my respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty." Without distracting Zhaoyang, although Gu Ruyang didn't kneel, he took the initiative to bow to Qin Wuyong.

Qin Wuyong knew that Gu Ruyang's knees were too strong to bend, it was Zhao Yang's best effort to show such obedience today.

"You don't need to be too polite." Qin Wuyong said.

"Your Highness, let's take your seats with your son-in-law." Xiang Yang said from the side while leading Zhaoyang to their seats. Today, it was in the name of Zhaoyang's return, so the positions of Zhaoyang and Gu Ruyang were the same as those of Zhaoyang. The rest of the hall looks very different.

Gu Ruyang agreed to go back home with Zhaoyang, so she naturally wanted to support Zhaoyang. She didn't like to listen to what the old man taught, but she remembered a lot. Gu Ruyang helped Zhaoyang to sit, and looked carefully at Zhaoyang. Whether Yang sat on the edge of his skirt, and then poured wine for Zhaoyang. Although there was a bit of quackery in his actions, he did his best.

"You and I don't have to be like this." Zhaoyang whispered.

"I told you, I'm definitely not going to be able to show you face when I come here." Gu Ruyang said with determination, and of course he didn't forget to fill up the wine in front of him.

"Prince to..."

"The sixth prince arrives..."

"Princess Luohe and her son-in-law have arrived..."

"Li Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has arrived..."

The servants in front of the hall kept reporting the official positions and names of the visitors, and the visitors also took their seats one after another. In addition to the six heirs of the Qin family, there were the left and right prime ministers in Wen, the six ministers and the left and right servants, and the generals and sailors in Wu. The admirals were all present, followed by several important concubines of the palace, Gu Ruyang's subordinates Du Yong and Gu Haixing also entered the venue, the whole banquet was only about twenty people, but it was grand enough.

"Princess Lishan and her son-in-law have arrived at..."

The one who never showed up, always arrived at the last moment. Princess Lishan Qin Nian'an hurriedly appeared with her son-in-law Zhang Zhize. It is somewhat similar to that Prince Li'an.

"Lishan, why did you arrive last?" Qin Li'an asked with a cold face.

"It's not such a stupid thing." Li Shan looked at the man behind him with disgust.

"Today is a happy event for Zhaoyang's return home. Take your seat soon." The one who spoke was the crown prince's birth mother Su Guifei, and Lishan was also her daughter.

Qin Wuyong saw that his children had arrived, and that all the officials were well, he couldn't help but hang his head in his arms, and said to the sheep that the auspicious time was approaching, so he immediately announced Gu Ruyang's gift, and hundreds of servants filed in at once, Two boxes of gift boxes, Kong Zhimiao, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, held the gift list and said:

Wanshigang presents three boxes of Suzaku sea powder jadeite, one box of Dongying top-grade knife, one box of Beiwu Haiye Mingzhu, three boxes of Anran spices, and one box of English clairvoyance...

Sun Zhimiao's voice didn't stop, but the expressions of the people in the hall were different, some were blue, some were white, some eyes moved with the gift box, when Sun Zhimiao finished reading the gift list, the gift box gift box It has piled up into a hill.

"Gu Concubine is really promising, even though she is a woman, she is better than my worthless wretch." It was Li Shan who spoke, while Zhang Zhize, the concubine who was being talked about, only nodded at the side, not daring to say a word.

"That's a man anyway." Zheng Qi said with a teasing tone, followed by several prince|prince|party friends who also laughed.

"Don't be rude to the son-in-law." Qin Li'an stopped talking with a smile, but then said: "At any rate, she is my elder sister's favorite husband-in-law. Even if she is a rooster, she should be regarded as able to serve the morning."

Gu Ruyang is a pirate, but a pirate who has studied, she can still understand the word "Chicken Sichen", and followed her to slap the teacup in front of her on the table, but Zhaoyang patted it again. I caught it in my hand, but I heard Zhaoyang say: "I didn't hear the rooster sitting here, but the roosters kept clucking."

"This is the imperial palace, there are only chickens on the plate, there are no live chickens." Qin Wuyong said, he was used to such bickering between Zhaoyang and Qin Li'an, so he ended the topic with his voice.

Naturally, Xiang Yang is the one who understands Emperor Guangxiao best, he winked at the servants in the hall, drums and music rang out, and the servants of the Imperial Food Division also entered one after another, but this plate mostly contained zongzi, glutinous rice and other things, today During the Dragon Boat Festival, the banquet will last from noon to Xu time, and the main meal will not be served until Shen time. These are pad food.Then, according to the etiquette system, the emperor gave gifts to the officials. Qin Wuyong had already prepared a fan with the four characters "Prosperity and Prosperity", and everyone including Du Yong and Gu Haixing had a fan.

Everyone took the fans, thanked them together, and then shouted to the sheep: After eating, everyone moved their chopsticks one by one, but this is not the part of the main course, as Gu Ruyang saw, there are basically cold food in front of them .

"You don't eat hot food in your palace?" Gu Ruyang asked knowingly.

"According to the rules, there are horse-riding warriors to add to the fun. After the warrior wins the first place, he will hand over the sacrifices to His Majesty, and His Majesty will personally distribute them to the ministers." Zhaoyang said, pointing to the minister Si Tianjian at the entrance of Yong'an Hall, behind the minister Two servants are guarding a pure white deer.

"Is the white deer a sacrifice?" Gu Ruyang asked.

"Exactly." Zhaoyang replied.

"It's a rare thing, it's a pity to kill it." Gu Ruyang has lived at sea for a long time, and he respects living beings more than people in the palace.

"This is the rule of generations." Zhao Yang sighed.

Gu Ruyang has only been here for three days, and she has heard the word "rule" and "ritual system" countless times. Zhaoyang doesn't need to explain too much to her, knowing that Nianguicheng, maybe even the whole Hokuriku should be like this.

"Then Zhaoyang thinks that rules are a burden?" Gu Ruyang said, this is her true thought.

Zhaoyang was taken aback, she had never thought of this before, since the day she was born, the rules have followed her side, every word and action of her, there are rules to be found,

"It doesn't matter whether it's a matter or a thing, you can't make a conclusion at will." Zhaoyang said: "It's good to return to the city, maybe it's bad to go to Wanshi Port."

"The princess is right." Gu Ruyang said, Zhaoyang is indeed much more delicate than her, Gu Ruyang looked outside the hall, there are people running, as if they are warming up, Gu Ruyang asked Zhaoyang again: " Then when will the horse-riding warrior arrive, and what kind of performance will he have?"

Knowing that it is not easy for Gu Ruyang to race horses on the sea, Zhaoyang explained to Gu Ruyang: "The competition starts at noon, and the horse-riding warriors are divided into two groups to play a game of bowing." Zhaoyang pointed to two circles outside the hall. Huan said again: "Which team hits the most balls will be the winner, and then the victorious team will chase the white deer. Give it to my father."

"Polo." Gu Ruyang said, although she had never seen Beilu's kiju before, but she had done business with English people before, and she recognized polo.

"Ruyang will do it too?" Zhaoyang said.

Gu Ruyang came to accompany Zhaoyang back home, not to show off, she drank a glass of wine and said: "No."

"If Ruyang is so interested for a while, you can take a look." Zhaoyang said.

"it is good."

Although it was to watch the kicking and judging competition, the Palace of Yong'an was more about drinking wine and raising money. Only Huan'an, Wu'an and a few ministers were quite interested in it, so they left their seats and went to watch in front of the hall. Watching the bravery of the warriors and Habayashi guards, Habayashi guards, Qian Niu guards and maid servants in the palace were also watching, and the atmosphere outside the venue was also considered lively.

As for the inside of the palace, the protagonist today is naturally Gu Ruyang. Qin Wuyong invited her to have a drink in front of the imperial court. Everything was as Zhaoyang expected. At sea, Zhaoyang guards Gu's mansion and will often go back. There is no father or mother at home. There are many seniors and brothers. Qin Wuyong has a good grasp of the conversation. Seeing that Emperor Guangxiao was extremely polite to Gu Ruyang, Zhaoyang naturally believed that the emperor would not make things difficult for him at will, so she left the table by wanting to reminisce with the other brothers, but after leaving the table, Zhao Yang also didn't go to see the brothers, but went to the ministers with Du Yong as the center.

Zhaoyang guessed right, Du Yong was indeed lobbying for the establishment of the chamber of commerce, and he didn't know what kind of lip service made the ministers around him concentrate on listening.Instead of Zhaoyang simply not bothering her, she stood two feet away and pretended to watch Jiju, and listened to Du Yong's eloquent tongue. Maybe Du Yong also knew that Zhaoyang was listening, so she raised her voice instead. Some, the intention is also to take the opportunity to persuade Zhaoyang.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is extraordinary, but seeing her today is really a dragon and a phoenix among people."

Zhaoyang knew that when she returned to the palace, someone would take the initiative to talk to her, but she didn't know the person in front of her. She saw this person with a thin face, wearing a black robe, bright eyes, and a mustache on his lips. Divided into immortal style.

"Who is this?"

"Xiaosheng Chuhan." The man bowed to Zhaoyang.

Zhaoyang was taken aback, he didn't expect this man to come to the door by himself, and he couldn't help but look at Chu Han again. This man has fair skin, jade around his waist, and although his clothes are loose, he is very decent. He is indeed a cautious person.

"I haven't seen Mr. before." Even though he knew that this person had attacked him repeatedly, Zhaoyang still pretended not to know anything.

"Xiaosheng only came last month. At that time, the princess had married Chen Dangjia." Chu Han said, this Chen Dangjia naturally refers to Chen Qingchuan.

"Where are you from, sir? Where do you work?" Zhaoyang asked.

Chu Han looked back at Qin Li'an, and said, "Xiaosheng is a commoner, walking around in the East Palace."

Zhaoyang smiled slightly: "Since the East Palace is moving around, then Mr. Wang has something to do with me."

"It's true," Chu Han said with blank eyes, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "The princess and her son-in-law came from Wanshi Port together. These ten lucky boats are so powerful that they want to return to the city."

"Sir, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." Zhaoyang predicted that the visitor would be unkind.

"Does the princess know what is on this boat?"

Zhao Yang pointed to the hill of gift boxes next to the main hall, with an unconcealable pride on his face: "It's a gift from my son-in-law to my father."

"The son-in-law is really generous." Chu Han clapped his hands, and asked again: "The ten boats of gunpowder brought by the son-in-law are also gifts for His Majesty?"

The things on the boat were prepared early in the morning, Zhaoyang relied on his trust in Gu Ruyang and did not look at them one by one, but Zhaoyang was really surprised when Chu Han suddenly mentioned gunpowder, and then he smiled, Naturally, she believed Gu Ruyang, but she thought it was Chu Han who wanted to make trouble out of it. If she heard these words, she would be sorry for Gu Ruyang's painstaking efforts.

Zhaoyang smiled slightly, still full of kindness. She pointed to the two teams of warriors riding horses in front of the hall, and said with a smile, "Look, General Li Tuo scored a goal."
