As the Shenhou Mansion that guards the five mansions in the Northern Desert, today it is as tight as an iron barrel.
At this moment, in front of the gate of the Shen Hou Mansion, two huge white jade stone sculptures squatted on both sides of the gate of the Hou Mansion, majestic and majestic, and on both sides of the white jade stone carvings.
There were two rows of red-feathered guards wearing bright armor standing there. Each red-feathered guard had a stern expression on their face, and they were observing the surrounding movements very carefully.
They all knew how important today's Shenhou Mansion banquet was.
Almost all officials of the fifth rank and above from the five northern desert prefectures were present. Not only that, but also young talents from Xiliang, Lampang, and Dongdu came all the way to attend the banquet.
The reason is simple…
The most talented woman in the Daxia Dynasty, Chi Guyan, is back.
For officials in the DPRK, this is a rare opportunity to make friends with the future First Marshal, but for young talents, it has a deeper meaning.
A year ago, in the imperial capital of Yanjing, Chi Guyan's heroic appearance when he won the top spot of Double Dragon in front of the world's young talents, and his overwhelming youthfulness, made countless people have the urge to kneel down.
Chi Guyan has no engagement.
This is a secret known to everyone in the world. Although Chi Guyan's marriage definitely requires the approval of the current Holy Emperor, no one would think that the Holy Emperor would do it without Chi Guyan's consent.
Therefore, Chi Guyan's marriage is ultimately decided by Chi Guyan himself.
…
In the Shenhou Mansion, there is an independent and elegant courtyard.
The pavilions are surrounded by clear water and the fragrance of flowers overflows.
Yue'er, who was wearing a green skirt, stood outside the pavilion, looking at the girl in the pavilion who was wearing a pink cigarette skirt. The girl was holding an ancient book in her hand, sitting quietly in the pavilion and reading.
It was Chi Guyan.
"Miss, Prince Duan is traveling lightly this time. He said that he is not going to the banquet, but just to visit the lady... The lady finally came back, do you really not want to see her?" Yue'er said softly behind the girl with a careful look on her face. Asking.
"From now on, if my father asks you to deliver a message, you don't have to do it."
"Yes. Miss!"
"It's almost time, get ready."
"Yes!" Yue'er nodded, and then immediately waved to the surroundings.
quickly. Then more than twenty maids appeared, some holding screens in their hands, and others holding jewelry. They were obviously waiting not far away.
…
It was the first time for Fang Zhengzheng to come to Golden Scale City, so he was naturally somewhat curious.
Although Yan Xiu has been here several times. But it was obvious that he was not a qualified tour guide. Today, Yan Xiu was dressed in white clothes with a pair of ink and green bamboo embroidered on it, looking even more aloof and arrogant.
Yan Xiu didn't say anything along the way, but walked side by side with Fang Zhengzheng calmly.
However, with Yan Xiu accompanying him, at least finding the Shenhou Mansion would no longer be a difficult task.
After eight years, I saw that familiar armor again. There was also the familiar red triangle mark on the armor, and Fang Zhengzheng suddenly felt that time passed quite quickly.
The main entrance of Shenhou Mansion was wide open today. In addition to the red feather guards guarding both sides of the door, there were also the servants of the Hou Mansion who were responsible for reception and were walking back and forth in front of the door.
"Hello, gentlemen!" A servant wearing a short shirt saw Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu and immediately came to greet them.
"This is a gift for the Marquis." Yan Xiu took out a gift note from his arms and handed it over.
"Young Master, I have thanked Mr. Yan Xiu!" The servant glanced at the list on the gift list, then looked at the list inside, and his expression suddenly became respectful.
Then, the servant's eyes moved to Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zhengzheng was also looking at the servant.
All right…
I must have brought some congratulatory gifts or something.
Fang Zhengzheng also took out a gift list from his arms and put it into the servant's hands with style.
The servant took it and looked at the directory. A faint light flashed in his eyes, and then he opened the gift list and glanced at it. His expression suddenly became a little strange.
"One pound of dried sweet potatoes, half a bag of peanuts, two sticks of homemade bacon..."
"Mr. Fang, are you sure you got the gift list correctly?" The servant was a little surprised.
"I hope Mr. Hou will like some local specialties from my hometown!" Fang Zhengzheng nodded seriously. These are real local products.
To put it into the previous world. Even money can't buy it.
"Hahaha... Mr. Fang's gift list really has a unique country flavor!" A burst of laughter came from behind Fang Zhengzheng.
Then, a white-faced young man wearing a green suit appeared in front of Fang Zhengzheng.
"My greetings to Master Lu!" As soon as the servant saw the person coming, he immediately laughed with a charming expression on his face.
"Hey, isn't this Yan Xiu? I've often heard people say recently that I'm friends with this country bumpkin. I didn't expect that you two are really inseparable." The young master in green clothes ignored the servant and turned his gaze to Fang Zhengzheng's side. Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu didn't speak, and didn't even look at the young man in blue attire.
A trace of anger flashed across the face of the young man in green attire, but it was fleeting. Instead of continuing to entangle with Yan Xiu, he turned his attention to Fang Zhengyi again.
"Fang Zhengyi, I didn't expect that you would dare to come to the banquet? Don't you know that my cousin has returned home? Haha... my cousin hates you very much!" The man in green clothes looked at Fang Zhengyi with a sarcastic look on his face .
Fang Zhengzheng also ignored the young man in green attire and just looked at the servant in front of him.
"Is this how the dignified Shenhou Mansion receives guests?"
"This..." The servant was stunned for a moment, looked at Fang Zhengyi, then at the young master in green attire and Yan Xiu next to him, his face changed slightly: "Master Lu, Mr. Yan Xiu, Mr. Fang, please come in!"
Fang Zhengzheng nodded, and then walked towards the Shenhou Mansion with Yan Xiu.
When he reached the door of the mansion, Fang Zhengzheng turned around, looked at the young man in green attire who was still standing outside the door with a disdainful look, and raised his middle finger.
"**!"
The voice was loud, and it was certain that not only the guests and servants who were coming and going could hear it clearly, but even the red-feathered guards guarding the gate of the houfu also listened very carefully.
The face of the young man in green clothes suddenly darkened.
"By the way, who is the cousin he is talking about?" After entering the gate of Houfu, Fang Zhengzheng looked at Yan Xiu beside him.
"The Zhanhou Mansion guards Nanbang, and the Shenhou Mansion guards the Northern Desert. Although the two mansions are separated from the north and the south, they are related by marriage. He is the ninth son of the Zhanhou Mansion, Lu Yusheng, and his cousin is naturally..." Yan Xiu also walked away. While explaining.
"Haha... don't tell me that the cousin he is talking about is Chi Guyan." Fang Zhengzheng smiled slightly.
"Exactly!" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengyi and nodded seriously.
"..." The smile on Fang Zhengzheng's face suddenly solidified. (To be continued.)
