Chapter Eighteen
Beique Jiadi, Zhou Yafu's private house.
People came and drove, and the cars were flowing, and there were crowds of people. It was a hundred times more lively than usual. There were endless court officials coming to congratulate him. As soon as they entered the front door, they arrived again. They went in and came two groups.
There are many people walking around in Zhou Yafu's private house, bribing, and flattering. Today is his mother's birthday, so how dare all officials not come? Not long after dawn, court officials came to congratulate him. When the sun was noon, there were even more crowds, which was not inferior to the East City.
Zhou Laifu's eldest son Zhou Xin and second son Zhou Cheng, the two of them welcomed the guests, and they were so busy that they felt sweaty on their foreheads. They liked this most, not only could they hear their favorite flattery, satisfy their vanity, but also had a good income and loved them so much.
"Third brother, why are you here now?" Zhou Xin wore a Jinxian crown on his head, a gorgeous deep dress, and a ivory fan in his hand, and kept fanning his face. It was so hot, busy and happy.
"Third brother, you are also. Grandmother's birthday, come early to welcome guests." Zhou Cheng also scolded him.
"With the eldest brother and the second brother are here, why bother me?" Zhou Yang was not very enthusiastic about this kind of welcome and send off. The reason why these people came was not because Zhou Yafu was the prime minister and came for power, and he was not really intimate.
Zhou Xin waved his fan: "Third brother, if you don't like the fun, just go in and rest. Where are the gifts you prepared?"
"Don't worry, there must be a gift." Zhou Yang shook his sleeves and entered the house.
As soon as I entered the main entrance, I saw that the yard was crowded with people. Zhou Yafu stood under the eaves, accepted everyone's congratulations, hugged one after another, and said thanks and thanks again and again, his voice a little hoarse.
"Xiaoguan Tian Fu has met the Prime Minister!" A man wearing a wise crown without a beam and a deep dress saluted Zhou Yafu. This person has an extraordinary temperament and has a noble spirit, bright eyes, eyebrows are like ink, and his face is square, with a bit of majesty.
"Brother Tiansheweng? Lord Tian, you are here today, but you are asking for the marquis for Wang Xin?" When Zhou Yafu saw this person, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, his face darkened, and he became mocked.
Tian Fen is Wang Xin's half-brother. Zhou Yafu suffered a lot from the incident of Wang Xinfenghou. After so much fear, he felt resentment suddenly arose when he saw this person, and his temper tact was irritated and mocked him.
Although Tian Frank's sister was Wang Meiren, who was favored by Emperor Jing, she was just a small man and the lowest-level official. When Zhou Yafu got angry, the officials flattered him and then started to mock him.
"Officer Lang, it's not that the woman's skirt is still covered with the light!"
"This kind of person with a skirt and pillow wants to be a marquis, which is whimsical!"
The more he said it, the more he heard it, Zhou Yafu seemed to have not heard it, and he quietly watched the fun. Tian Fu's face turned red, and he wanted to get angry but didn't dare to do so, so he was stunned on the spot.
"So it's Lord Tian, I'm lucky to know, lucky to know!" Zhou Yang stepped forward and clasped his fists at Tian Feng.
Zhou Yang joined the scene and gave Tian Feng a step, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "I have met Mr. Zhou."
"Yang'er, come here, don't pay attention to him!" Zhou Yafu's face sank and he shouted softly.
Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Father, the Grand Tutor is here, you go and welcome him."
Dou Ying was floating in her sleeves, and Zhou Yafu was even more angry at this former friend and current enemy. Who told him to ask the alchemist to curse Zhou Yang? Quickly meet him: "Mr. Wei Qihou, my Zhou Yafu is very virtuous and talented, so I dare not take care of your big boss, please come back!" His voice was cold, and he was not as enthusiastic as before.
Dou Ying's face was suffocated, and then he smiled and said, "The Prime Minister doesn't know anything, and Dou Ying has nothing to do, but he has a lot of experience in etiquette. The Prime Minister congratulated the guest in the family, so he would not need a courtesy who knew etiquette, right? If the Prime Minister allowed it, Dou Ying would like to be fine."
Speaking of etiquette, no one in the court can compare with him. It would be better for him to be the emcee. Zhou Yafu's tense face relaxed: "Mr. Wei Qi, I dare not be accused of this. You are a minister in the court and a grand tutor. If this matter is spread, how can I afford to stop it?"
My heart was already alive, but due to the affection, I had to worry about it. Dou Ying fully understood his thoughts and held his fists: "Sir, let me testify, Dou Ying voluntarily do what he is doing today. What Dou Ying admires most in his life is the heroes who fought for the country. The Prime Minister made great contributions to the court. How could Dou Ying not do his best?"
This flattery made Zhou Yafu very happy. He smiled and patted Dou Ying on his shoulder: "Then it will be a blessing for Wei Qihou."
Dou Ying breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his figure so low that he wanted to reconcile with Zhou Yafu. Although he couldn't go back to the past, at least the ice began to melt.
Zhou Yang said to Tian Fen: "Sir Tian, please give me a tea in the house."
Tian Fen hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhou, Tian Fen has a low position, but I dare not be an official. Just be under the eaves." It is already good for the lowest-level official like him to be under the eaves, so how dare you enter the house?
Zhou Yang smiled and was very happy: "Mr. Tian is a man, and I am also a man. We are both men. Only men and men can talk to men. Please!"
Tian Fen was originally humiliated and felt very unhappy. After hearing Zhou Yang's words, a warm feeling rose in his heart, and he was a little moved: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou! Mr. Zhou, please!"
"When I went to court, Lord Montaigne gave me a seat. I have not thanked me for such kindness." Zhou Yang still remembered that Tian Fen helped me when he went to court. There were too many people in heaven. If Tian Fen did not give him a seat, Zhou Yang would be really difficult to deal with.
The two of them entered the house together, and Zhou Yang asked someone to bring tea. They knelt opposite each other, drinking tea and talking, and started chatting. Zhou Yang found that Tian Feng was very eloquent, had a quick reaction, and was well-intentioned, and the two were getting happier and happier as they talked.
While talking, Zhou Yafu asked someone to call Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang said forgiveness to Tian Fu and followed the servant out of the house.
Zhou Yafu smiled and grabbed Zhou Yang with great joy. He made a family with his mouth and nose: "Hehe! Yang'er, I will introduce you to the officials in the court for you."
Although Zhou Yang participated in the Great Court of Sun, he could not recognize many officials in the court. Zhou Yafu did this so he told all officials that Zhou Yang was his beloved son, and you must protect him in the future.
Zhou Yang's performance was extremely eye-catching and was deeply loved by Zhou Yafu. Today, all officials came to congratulate him, which was a rare opportunity. Zhou Yafu was preparing to take this opportunity to introduce officials from the court for Zhou Yang, which would be much more convenient to become an official in the future.
"This is Lord Tang." Zhou Yafu pointed to an official wearing a two-liang Jinxian crown and wearing a court uniform.
"I have met Lord Tang." Zhou Yang bowed his fists.
Zhou Yafu whispered in Zhou Yang's ear: "He is the elder brother of Empress Tang. Empress Tang is the biological mother of King Ding of Changsha."
The voice turned high, pointing at another official to introduce Zhou Yang: "This is Lord Cheng." He lowered his voice and said, "He is the second brother of Empress Cheng. Empress Cheng is the biological mother of King Yu of Lu Gong, King Yi of Jiangdu, and King Fei of Jiaoxi Yu Wangduan."
After Zhou Yang greeted him, Zhou Yafu introduced Lord Jia again. This Lord Jia is the elder brother of Empress Jia, King Zhao Jingsu Peng Zu, and the biological mother of King Jingsheng of Zhongshan.
These royal relatives arrived and were respectful to Zhou Yafu. The gifts they gave were even more heavy. Zhou Yang knew that they were drunk but not wine, but to make friends with Zhou Yafu. It seems that these empresses and princes all had the intention of fighting for the throne, and there was a good show of fighting for the throne.
