Lu Qi walked to Duke Wei's mansion and looked up at the tall gate. Immediately, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler hurried down the steps and ran towards Lu Qi. He bent down and said respectfully: "Master Lu, you are here. I will guide you." "Shi Wang, it's you." Lu Qi said with a smile. It was the wedding invitation sent by Shi Wang to Lu Qi. "I'm a slave, sir, please come in." Shi Wang greeted respectfully with a smile, obviously treating Lu Qi as a top distinguished guest. Lu Qi nodded, casually gave the gift to Shi Wang, and stepped up the steps to enter the Duke of Wei's mansion. Shi Wang took the gift and accompanied him to guide Lu Qi. He led Lu Qi to an elegant side hall, where he Lu Qi sat alone at a square table. Later, a maid served tea and there were cakes on the table. Lu Qi drank tea and waited quietly. Today, Shi Zhongfei is getting married. The owners of Duke Wei's Mansion must be busy with receptions. It is estimated that after a while, a host will come to entertain, but there are still three square tables in the side hall, each table has three Among the four of them, he was the only one sitting alone. After those people glanced at Lu Qi, they stopped paying attention and chatted elegantly. After a while, Shi Wang suddenly respectfully led people into the side hall. Lu Qi took a look and saw that they were a man and a woman. The man was in his early twenties, a handsome young man with a graceful demeanor, and behind him was a girl in a green skirt who was sixteen years old. Seven, the face is beautiful and soft. "Mr. Zhao Si, please stay here with your lady first." Shi Wang led people to Lu Qi's table and said respectfully. "Okay, go and do your work." Mr. Zhao Si said casually. "Fourth Young Master, I would like to introduce you to you, this is Master Lu Shangshu." "Master Lu, this is the Fourth Young Master of Jiangning County Prince." Shi Wang introduced him respectfully. Lu Qi and Mr. Zhao Si were both startled. Lu Qi stood up and bowed, smiling and said: "Lu Tianfeng, I have met Mr. Zhao." "Don't dare, Zhao Defang, pay homage to Mr. Lu." Zhao Defang hurriedly returned the courtesy respectfully. Lu Qi is the minister. . "Mr. Zhao, please take a seat." Lu Qi said with a smile, and sat down first because he was a senior official. After Zhao Defang confessed, he sat down with the girl and Shi Wang bowed and left. After sitting down, a maid served tea. Zhao Defang took a sip, looked up at Lu Qi, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to be able to sit with Lu Shangshu. I admire Lu Shangshu's name very much." Qi smiled and said: "My reputation is much worse than that of Jiangning County Prince. If Mr. Zhao doesn't mind, just call me brother, and I will call you brother. After all, the official title is tiring." "Well, Brother Lu is a cheerful person. "Zhao Defang responded with a smile. "My brother is also a cheerful person." Lu Qi said with a smile, but he was suspicious in his heart that sitting with Zhao Defang was an artificial arrangement. "I have heard of the Xifeng Tower, brother, and I want to go and experience it when I have time." Zhao Defang said. "If I go, brother, I will naturally be happy." Lu Qi responded with a smile, and the two of them greeted each other. After a while, Shiwang suddenly invited another guest. Lu Qiyi saw that it was Prince Ji, so he stood up to greet him. Zhao Defang and the girl naturally got up as well, and everyone else in the hall also stood up. It seemed that they knew Prince Ji. many people. "Tianfeng, you came early." Before Lu Qi could salute, King Ji spoke happily and walked over while he was talking. "I pay my respects to His Highness Prince Ji." Lu Qi bowed respectfully, and others also worshiped one after another. "Okay, everyone, please take a seat." King Ji responded gently. Lu Qi asked King Ji to take a seat. After King Ji sat down, others in the hall took their seats. However, many people began to pay attention to Lu Qi and peeked at Lu Qi and King Ji in surprise. King Ji took a sip of tea, raised his head and said with a smile: "It's not easy to come in now. Zhong Fei's wedding is more lively than the Chinese New Year." Lu Qi smiled and nodded. King Ji looked at Zhao Defang and said gently: "You are the fourth brother Defang, right? "Yes, I am honored that your Highness can recognize you." Zhao Defang responded respectfully. "The year my fourth brother got married, I went there with my father, and I was deeply impressed by my fourth brother." King Ji said. "My Majesty's personal congratulations on my getting married are the greatest honor in my life." Zhao Defang said movedly. King Ji nodded and suddenly smiled: "Actually, I just wanted to see the fourth sister-in-law at that time, so I was deeply impressed by the fourth brother." Lu Qi smiled after hearing this, and Zhao Defang also smiled and said, "My wife, after you go I'm going to pay my respects to my grandma." King Ji smiled and turned to look at the girl, and said gently: "Are you the Zhao family sister?" "Yun Niang, I'm going to pay my respects to Your Highness." The girl stood up and said goodbye. "Okay, sister, please sit down." King Ji said with a smile, and the girl, with her charming face and blushing face, sat down shyly. Lu Qi looked amused. Young Master Ji Wang¡¯s lethality to women would definitely ¡®power the country and the city¡¯. From the very beginning, he deliberately ignored the girl.People, Lu Qi's mentality is very full now. When he returned to his hometown from the army, he was greedy for women. At that time, he was extremely possessive of women, but now he wants to It is not difficult to have ten thousand beauties. Prince Ji also seemed a little shy. He turned to look at Lu Qi and said gently: "Tianfeng, I couldn't help you with what you said. I'm sorry." , Now that man is in the shop, he has got rid of the problem of lack of money to drink," Lu Qiwen replied. King Ji nodded and said: "What you asked for is just a small thing, so I feel sorry." "Your Highness has already helped me, but that is the main thing." Lu Qi replied. King Ji nodded, then turned to look at Zhao Defang, and said gently: "Has the fourth brother joined the job now?" "Back to Your Highness, I am still idle, but Uncle Shi said that he will ask Your Majesty to let me go somewhere to sharpen my skills, or Become the Prince's Attendant," Zhao Defang replied respectfully. King Ji nodded, and Zhao Defang said again: "Your Highness, can you tell me what I want to do? I want to go somewhere to practice." But my father refused. I went to speak for my fourth brother, but I can only refuse. You can only expect Duke Wei to speak." Prince Ji peacefully refused. Zhao Defang nodded, and King Ji turned to look at Lu Qi and said, "Tianfeng, I heard that His Majesty won't let you return home?" "Yes, His Majesty said that I would stay in Kaifeng Mansion for the New Year. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, I will return home. I won't be able to come back in time." Lu Qi replied. King Ji was startled and then changed the topic clearly. Not long after, Duke Wei Shi Shouxin came to greet King Ji and Lu Qi in person. Duke Wei's face was red and full of energy. As soon as he came in, he rushed to Lu Qi's table. He first bowed to King Ji and then made peace with Lu Qi. Seeing him politely, Lu Qi followed the etiquette of a junior and bowed back. "Okay, Tianfeng, it's all thanks to you that that boy Zhong Fei is able to take the right path. I thank you." Duke Wei thanked him straightforwardly. "Zhongfei's current achievements, the younger generation dare not take the great credit. It is because of Zhongfei's own talent as a military commander and the important role of His Highness Prince Ji that Zhongfei got the opportunity to make achievements." Lu Qi smiled and praised him. Shi Shouxin smiled happily and was about to speak when suddenly a person rushed out of the hall and shouted: "Dad, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Cao are here to congratulate you." Everyone immediately paid attention, and Shi Shouxin hurriedly saluted King Ji and said : "Your Highness, I'm going to greet you." "Uncle, go quickly." King Ji responded gently. After Shi Shouxin nodded, he turned around and hurried away. The Prince of Zhou came to congratulate him. It was no less than half an emperor coming, and His Royal Highness the Prince was very happy. It may have brought congratulations from the emperor. "Let's go, let's go out too." As soon as Shi Shouxin left, King Ji said again, and the people in the side hall followed King Ji and Lu Qi and left the side hall. Lu Qi didn't want to join in the fun, because he might become a high-profile figure. Most of the officials and family members of Kaifeng Mansion had never seen him. Once he appeared, he would definitely arouse curious viewers, which would upset the whole Zhou Dynasty. Because of the prince's dignity, he hid on the pretext of being respectful on the way. At the auspicious moment, Shi Zhongfei, riding a tall horse, welcomed the sedan chair back. Drums and drums were blaring, and the atmosphere was full of joy. Five or six children in brocade clothes cheered. Then came the entrance ceremony and the ceremony of paying homage to the flower hall. Lu Qi was among the crowd and looked at it with a smile. Shi Zhongfei was in a dizzy state of joy. Seeing Shi Zhongfei's joy, Lu Qi's thoughts subconsciously recalled his marriage to Xin Yun'er. At that time, he was also filled with giddy joy. During the wedding night, when the gold list was named, the little guardian county captain , his lasting affection with Xin Yun'er gave him the best pride in his life. ??
