    Although Wen Wan had many questions in her heart, she still had a smile on her face.  No matter what happens now, we shouldn't spoil our fun on such a great day.  Otherwise, it would be really unreasonable.

    When Haishi came in and saw the three people talking speculatively, he felt relieved: "Princess, the old lady would like to ask you to come over!" Su Xiang's place was filled with princes, nobles, and important ministers of the court.  Generally, female relatives would not go there.  However, Wen Wan's situation is special and this is not the case.  That's why the old prime minister gave such an order.

    The yard was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, making it very festive.  It makes people feel happy when they see it.  Wen Wan couldn't help but said to Xia Ying beside her: "I think the Su family was much more frugal when Duke Ping had his birthday." This kind of celebration is acceptable.  Not compared to Duke Ping's Mansion. Back then, Duke Ping's birthday was too extravagant.  Wen Wan couldn't stand it anymore.

    Xia Ying smiled: "That's for sure." A scholarly family is different from a noble family who pays attention to luxury.  If this place were like the Pingguo Duke's Mansion, those civil servants would immediately complain.

    Wen Wan arrived at Su Xiang¡¯s yard.  Su Xiang's courtyard is different from the deserted place in the past. Today it is lively and lively.  Before Wen Wan entered the courtyard, she heard a burst of cheerful laughter.  Wen Wan entered the courtyard and saw Mi Xiang, six ministers, and most of the important officials in the court.

    Wen Wan felt strange in her heart that this posture was too big.  When Wen Wan arrived, everyone in the room stood up.  There is no way, Wen Wan's situation is too special.

    Wen Wan smiled and walked forward and gave a blessing ceremony: "Wen Wan wishes my uncle a happy birthday. I wish my uncle a blessing as good as the east sea and a life as long as the southern mountains."

    Today, the old prime minister is wearing a red and festive dress, and he looks very good.  Seeing Wen Wan bowing, he smiled and said three good words.

    Everyone else in the room also greeted Wen Wan, and Wen Wan waved her hand: "Masters, please have a seat. You are free, no need to be restrained." Wen Wan was very surprised why the old prime minister asked her to come and sit down.  According to normal procedures, we should not go out after the meeting.

    The old prime minister said with a smile: "Today may be the last time that I sit and talk with you all. I have gone through ups and downs in my life. I am content to be here today."

    Everybody said kind words.  Before Wen Wan could say anything else, she heard a voice shouting from outside: "Master, the emperor's decree has arrived."

    ??The emperor issued an imperial edict at this time, and there must be a reward.  This time it would have been had it not been for the emperor's approval.  The birthday will not be so lively.

    The boy beside him helped the old prime minister up, and he walked out of the yard tremblingly.  The old prime minister has also experienced many ups and downs in his life, and has received countless imperial edicts.  So very calm.

    Wen Wan didn¡¯t have too many thoughts about the imperial edict.  Although Wen Wan is not very old, she has received countless imperial edicts over the years.  Following the emperor's conversation was like making a family routine, and this imperial edict had no lethal effect on her.  Just gentle and depressed.  You have to kneel with me.

    The official of the Ministry of Rites who delivered the edict spread out the imperial edict and read loudly: "It is a blessing from heaven"

    Anyway, a bunch of gorgeous words, just one sentence, naming Su Hu as the Duke of Zhongguo (loyalty to the country).  Although it is not hereditary, it is still an incredible grace.  Here, it is generally only after death that titles are awarded and posthumous titles are added.  He was given such a title in his lifetime (it was definitely a title that could not be conquered, but it was enough).  The emperor gave the old prime minister so much face!

    Su Xiang¡¯s usually calm face was now full of excitement.  At this moment, he no longer needed anyone to support him. He knelt on the ground and shouted, "I thank you for your kindness. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty." This was no ordinary grace.  With this grace, the Su family will have no worries within a hundred years.

    Everybody congratulated one after another.  This kind of grace can be counted in all dynasties and generations.  It will definitely leave its name in history.  For civil servants, there is no higher honor than this.

    The news that the emperor issued an imperial edict to confer Su Hu as the Duke of Zhongguo quickly spread to the inner courtyard.  The entire Su Mansion was boiling.

    After Su Xiang accepted this imperial edict, he seemed to be ten years younger.  He got everyone involved and started chatting.  Wen Wan wanted to say a few words, go back to the backyard, and then leave after lunch, but she can't do that now.  No matter what, we have to wait until the momentum subsides and go back to the backyard during lunch.

    Now the courtyard was even more lively, and everyone was complimenting the old prime minister.  This is a rare gift for New Year greetings!

    Wen Wan didn¡¯t say a word, but there was a just right smile on her face.  In fact, Wen Wan can understand why the emperor issued such an imperial edict.  Half of it was because of the old prime minister's contribution to the court.  The emperor gave grace to her, and half of it was that the emperor's uncle missed his grandmother, so he extended grace to her mother's family.  It's a pity that my uncle is not my grandma's biological brother, and he is not even a close sibling.  If Old Prime Minister Su is grandma's biological brother, Wen Wan is very sure that the emperor?Give a title that can be passed down.  This is also the luck of the Su family.

    During lunch, Wen Wan went to the inner courtyard to eat.  No matter what.  It is impossible for Wen Wan to dine with these big men.

    When Wen Wan was having lunch, along with Mrs. Su, there were several old feudal lords from other families sitting at the same table.

    Wen Wan originally thought about finishing lunch and finding an excuse to go home later.  But he hadn't eaten yet, and he looked at the woman who came in with Mrs. Su. The woman was supporting Mrs. Su.

    I looked at the woman with a strange look on her face. Why was she so strange? It was because she was too beautiful.  Her skin is as delicate and fair as porcelain, her pointed chin, her big dark jade eyes, and her curved black eyebrows are as graceful as the moon, as beautiful as a fairy walking down from a painting.  Moreover, she showed a gentle and delicate temperament, just like a water lotus floating in the water. I felt pity for her when I saw her.

    It¡¯s a pity that this kind of beauty is not the kind that Wen Wan likes.  Wen Wan likes that kind of strong woman.  For example, Xia Yao, Dongqing, etc.  But this does not prevent Wen Wan from recognizing the charm of this woman.  It would be fine if this woman was wearing a maid's clothes, but this woman's clothes showed that she was not a maid.  Not a maid, who is that?

    Wen Wan looked at the girl with doubts in her eyes: "Aunt, it's rare to see such a handsome girl, even prettier than the fairy in the painting." Wen Wan asked knowingly.  There are only two young girls in the Su family's generation, both only a few years old, and both were born to Su Yang's aunt who was in office.

    After hearing the compliment, Mrs. Su smiled more.  What is true is that people are in high spirits when happy events happen. The Grand Master was named the Duke of Loyalty, and the Su Mansion was even better.  Hearing the gentle compliment, he smiled and said: "This is my grand-niece, named Ningming. Ningming, I have met the princess." When he said this.  His face was full of kindness.

    Wen Wan¡¯s expression is even weirder.  The granddaughter and grandniece of Mrs. Su¡¯s maiden brother.  Wen Wan remembered a very silly sentence, cousin and cousin love each other.

    Xue Ningming frowned slightly when she saw Wen Wan listening to Mrs. Su's words.  His thoughts changed, and he gave a big salute to Wen Wan: "Ningming has met the princess. Princess, Ningming is just a handsome girl, so she doesn't deserve such praise from the princess." After saying that, he lowered his head very low.

    ¡°Well, seeing such a polite girl, Wen Wan hoped that she was overthinking it.

    At this time, Su Zhenzhen also brought the three Menglan sisters over.  Brother Fu was in the front yard with his two cousins.  As for Ping Shangtang, he also helped greet guests in the front yard.  Wenwan meets Menglan.  He waved: "Come, come to Auntie." Menglan also had outstanding appearance, with bright eyes, red lips and a peaceful smile.  The most important thing is the peace in his eyes, and his dignified temperament.  Wen Wan likes girls like this, and wives from wealthy families also like girls like this when choosing wives.  But men will like girls as beautiful as the pictures in front of them.

    Meng Lan was a little surprised at Wen Wan's attitude towards them in the past.  Especially what happened last time.  It made them feel very sad. Of course, Su Zhenzhen reconciled it.  It's their father's fault, not Wen Wan's fault.  Knowing the cause and effect, they didn't dare to blame Wen Wan.  It's just that Wen Wan, Meng Lan and the other sisters are actually afraid of Wen Wan.  However, her upbringing prevented her from disobeying her elders, so Meng Lan walked up to Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan patted her hand and asked her to sit next to him.  Xia Ying frowned.  Others don't know, she doesn't know yet.  The princess has something on her mind.  It seems that the princess is meddling in other people's business again.

    The meal was very rich, but Wen Wan only ate a small bowl of rice and put down the bowl and chopsticks.  After finishing their meal, the group went to the wing and rested for a while.

    After Wen Wan sat down, she said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Su Hang for a long time! We are already engaged, so let me meet my future niece-in-law."

    Meng Lan¡¯s face turned red after hearing Wen Wan¡¯s words.  He glanced at Su Zhenzhen a little awkwardly.  Seeing that Su Zhenzhen didn't react at all, he had no choice but to stand aside in a polite manner.

    Wen Wan noticed that when she said that Su Hang was her niece-in-law, she felt that Xue Ningming's whole body stiffened.  Originally, Wen Wan said it tentatively.  But Xue Ningming's expression seemed to be okay.  That's weird.  It¡¯s true that cousins ??love each other.  You should meet the person first before talking about it.  It's too early to tell.

    After hearing what Wen Wan said, Mrs. Su smiled even more kindly.  Mrs. Su is still very satisfied with Wen Wan's attitude today.  In the past, Wen Wan was always aloof, and her aggressive attitude was really unbearable.  Today's gentleness is enough to give her face.  After hearing Wen Wan's words, he didn't think much and ordered his mother-in-law to call Su Hang over: "Go and call the eldest young master."

    With a red face, Meng Lan saluted Mrs. Su and Wen Wan: "Grandma, aunt, my sister and I are going down first." Engaged men and women are generally not suitable to meet.  Su Hang came over at this moment, and Meng Lan¡¯s face felt hot when she thought about it.?

    Wen Wan waved his hand: "What's the harm? It's just a one-time meeting, and the elders are here too!" There is nothing rude about the elders' presence.  If Meng Lan said she wanted to go down at another time, Wen Wan would naturally go with them.  But if it doesn¡¯t happen today, if Meng Lan goes down, Xue Ningming will definitely go down too.  Then what are you looking at? You can't see anything.

    After Wen Wan spoke, Meng Lan looked at her mother again.  Zhenzhen also thinks it's nothing: "It doesn't matter, your aunt just wants to meet your cousin."

    Menglan¡¯s little face turned redder and redder.  Wen Wan looked at the red little face and sighed in her heart.  I hope I am overthinking it.  Otherwise, this matter would be really troublesome.

    Just as Wen Wan was thinking about it, she saw Xia Ying's displeased expression.  It seems to be saying, Princess, you are nosy again.  Wen Wan sighed inwardly, if something like this happened to her, she should ask more questions!

    The people in the room were talking happily when the old woman outside reported back: "Old madam, the young master is here. Wait outside."

    Mrs. Su was all smiles when she heard her sweet grandson coming in.  The mother-in-law opened the curtain and Su Hang walked in.

    Wen Wan went to Su Hang once before, but that was when she was very young.  This is the first time I have seen Su Hang since I became an adult.

    Today, Su Hang is wearing a brocade robe woven with wild goose and gold patterns. His face is like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are like ink, and his eyes are so black that they seem to be dripping with water. He looks elegant, handsome, and elegant.  Coupled with the smell of books emanating from the whole body, it makes people feel approachable.

    Wen Wan looked at Su Hang and smiled, such a man is not the dream lover of a boudoir girl.  She smiled gently, but she didn't miss the fact that Su Hang looked at Xue Ningming when he came in.  Although it was only a few seconds, he could not escape the gentle eyes that had noticed him as soon as he entered the door.  Xue Ningming received this scorching look and lowered her head.  The expressions on their faces were unclear, but Wen Wan was certain that the two children had developed feelings for each other.

    Wenwan swept the people in the room deliberately.  Mrs. Su stopped talking, and Su Zhenzhen was smiling all over her face. It was probably because the mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more.  Meng Lan blushed and lowered her head.  Meng Nan stood next to Su Zhenzhen in a very polite manner.  The only one left was Mengxuan, whose eyes flashed with doubts.  Wen Wan was very pleased, thinking that this girl was suspicious.  Not bad, and there is one who is extremely outstanding.  With this ability, you won't be afraid of suffering after marrying Brother Tiger.  Well, Xia Yao's eyes were as bright as a torch.

    Su Hang¡¯s etiquette and upbringing seem to be first-rate.  Wen Wan took advantage of the situation and asked some questions.  Wenwan also got these questions from Xiangsheng.

    Su Hang was a little confused. In the past, it was his father, grandfather, and husband who took the academic test.  It was the first time that a woman was taking the school knowledge test.  But he also knew that Wen Wan had a special status, so he answered seriously at the moment.  Nothing perfunctory.

    Wen Wan nodded frequently, his knowledge is indeed good.  At that moment, he said warmly, "I heard that my husband is full of praise for you, and now it seems that you are really good. Su Hang, my uncle is the number one scholar, my cousin is also a first-class and twenty-ranking scholar, and your father is also a second-ranking scholar."  The Su family is a famous family in Qiantangjiang, you can't weaken the glory of your ancestors."

    Su Hang said very carefully, "Mr. said that I don't have enough experience now. This time he just asked me to try my skills, practice a bit, and become familiar with the scene. In three years, I should be able to do it."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????:?: "When I first entered the Prime Minister's Office, I was younger than Su Hangdu! In a blink of an eye, I became a mother. Time flies so fast!"

    Mrs. Su nodded in agreement.
