Chapter 33
"Young master of the Mei family?"
"Young master of the Qin family?"
Are they the two they were thinking of?
I don’t know which two young masters from these two families it is. The Yun family is really different from the past. Both these two families sent their young masters to celebrate their birthdays.
"Hurry up and be affectionate!"
Yun Shangde reacted and hurriedly stood up to invite the guests in. For him, they were two juniors, so he didn't have to get up, but the weight of the young masters of these two families was different!
Although he has now been promoted to one of the Six Ministers, Yun Shangde is still respectful and cautious, which is one of the reasons why he has been promoted continuously.
"It's... Ninth Young Master!"
"It's Kuro!"
"And Mr. Han!"
"Oh my God...Kuro."
Mei Shijiu and Qin Muhan seemed to be accustomed to such scenes. They walked up to the crowd, greeted the host's family, and congratulated Mrs. Yun on her birthday.
The old lady was a little dizzy. She was just thinking about having fun and didn't know what to say. These two young men were famous in the capital, but it was the first time for her to see them with her own eyes. It was indeed different. The whole room was filled with excitement at once.
I can't compare with other sons and daughters, it's really...excellent.
The female relatives were all in a commotion, especially the group of young ladies, who were all blushing and adjusting their makeup, and were shyly and timidly making various small moves to attract each other's attention.
It's a pity that the two young men looked at each other from beginning to end.
Until they went to the men's table, they were still looking eagerly through the screen, and they almost saw two holes in the screen.
"You two gentlemen, please take your seats quickly!"
Yun Shangde also had a bright face. This was something the Mei and Qin families thought highly of, so not only did they send the young master, but these two as well!
These two young men are highly valued by the Holy Emperor today.
"Ninth Young Master and Young Master Han rarely attend banquets. It's really rare that they came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday at the same time today."
On such occasions, there is never a shortage of flatterers.
When the old lady heard this, her eyes almost narrowed.
"You're so polite. I had someone send me gifts earlier, and today I have two young masters come to visit in person..."
The old lady smiled and spoke politely, her face was bright and her heart was happy.
For a while, there was another round of flattery and polite greetings.
"Speaking of which, the marriage of these two young masters has not been decided yet, and I don't know which young lady is suitable for them. If these two get engaged, many women in the capital will be heartbroken."
When women are together, it's normal to chat about just those kinds of things, and to joke occasionally.
"Don't look at it, you are not the one who is worthy of Jiulang and Mr. Han."
Yun Chuqin was now engaged. Even though her heart was turbulent, she could only restrain herself. Seeing Yun Chuqi sitting aside and staring openly at the screen, she couldn't help but sigh.
"It's better than some people who can't even look at it!"
Yun Chuqi snorted coldly, so what if she wasn't worthy? It was better than being uneasy after being engaged.
Yun Chuqin pulled the racquet in his hand angrily, not daring to be too presumptuous in front of so many people. He glanced at Old Mrs. Ji, just in time to see her looking at Yun Chuqi, and a thought flashed through his mind.
It would be better if Yun Chuqi married the young master of the Ji family to fill a house, and it would be better if she was so angry that she could not hold her head up in front of her for the rest of her life.
The more she thought about it, the more Yun Chuqin felt that this was a good idea, so that Yun Chuqi would not be lucky enough to marry her in the future.
"Come on, why don't you come here? I didn't see that little girl yesterday!"
After taking his seat, Qin Muhan couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
He scanned around carefully just now, but he really didn't see anything! Did he not attend?
Meishi's Nine Eyebrow Peaks were slightly raised. Qin Muhan didn't need to tell him that he had already looked for it. It was indeed not there. Didn't he return to Yun's house?
"Hey, what's your expression like? You're not really targeting that little girl, are you?"
Qin Muhan was a little unsure, because it was a bit unbelievable that this happened to Mei Shijiu.
"No?"
Mei Shijiu replied absentmindedly.
Such an honest and unabashed answer made Qin Muhan's eyes widen a bit.
"Shi Jiu...you're not really interested in that girl, are you?" No, this question is very serious and he needs to confirm it.
"As you said...there is indeed some interest."
Still frank, so frank that Qin Muhan didn't know how to react.
"..."
Qin Muhan opened his mouth and closed it again. He had better calm down first.
If the girls present were listening to these words just now, they would probably eat that little girl from the Yun family, tsk tsk...what happened three years ago?
If that little girl were here at this moment, he would definitely open his eyes and take a closer look to see what was so different from the other girls next to her that made Mei Shijiu treat her so differently.
"Dull."
Mei Shijiu only sat there for a moment and then wanted to leave. The person he wanted to see didn't show up, so he lost interest.
"...Shi Jiu, you really came here for that little girl. Well, you've come even though you haven't seen me. It's not appropriate to leave before your butt is hot. I heard that Mr. Yun, the new noble man in the court, is three
He has been promoted continuously over the years and is now in charge of the Ministry of War. What do you think?"
It is indeed rare for a person who has no background in the court and no strong family support to have such a prosperous official career, so it is quite curious.
This kind of person is either an astonishing talent, or it is hard to say. Obviously, the Master Yun in front of me is not the former.
"Since when have you cared about this?"
Mei Shijiu didn't answer the question, but he looked at Yun Shangde out of the corner of his eye. He was mediocre in terms of governance. However, a mediocre person could be so comfortable in the officialdom. It can only be said that Master Yun was talented in other aspects and was extremely talented in the city.
deep.
"I'm just curious...Look, do you know the purpose of Ji Lihe, the young master of the Ji family?" Qin Muhan said with a gossipy smile.
The two of them sat at a distance from each other, and deliberately lowered their voices. In addition to the liveliness of the table, others could not really hear what they were talking about.
"You have just returned to the capital, and you know a lot. Mr. Yun has just joined the Ministry of War. If you want to gain a firm foothold, someone must buy into his account. The uncle of the Ji family has been in the Ministry of War for many years and has deep roots. He is in charge of weapons and horses, and his official position is not high.
But he is the one who holds the real power. Only by capturing Ji Lixing can he have the capital to take charge of the Ministry of War. Ji Lixing is a filial son, and Mrs. Ji prefers her younger son. Rather than struggling to capture Ji Lixing, it is better to start with his younger brother. It is simple and not easy.
It’s strenuous.”
Mei Shijiu said casually while observing.
"Tsk, tsk... You can see this, so tell me, how does Master Yun plan to capture Master Ji's brother?"
"Then it depends on what Mr. Ji's brother wants."
Mei Shijiu looked away and shrugged. This banquet was not as interesting as listening to her discuss business with others.
...she returned to the capital but did not come back to Yunlai, or...she was at the Yun family but did not attend the dinner party?
"I know." Qin Muhan winked at Mei Shijiu quite proudly, as if to say, ask me quickly!
Mei Shijiu couldn't help but give the other party a blank look, indicating that he was not interested.
"Go, it's still so boring. What Ji Lihe wants is a woman. To be precise, it's a marriage!"
So, perhaps the highlight of today’s banquet is here!
"Marriage?"
This... Mei Shijiu didn't think about it in detail, mainly because he wasn't interested.
"Ji Lihe wants to marry someone to fill the house, and this matter has almost become a worry for Mrs. Ji. If it is like what you said, then Master Yun will win over Ji Lihe by helping the Ji family handle this matter."
