Chapter 021 Undercurrent

The eldest lady of the Zhu family and the cowardly deposed Tang family came side by side, with a close mood.

This scene made the servants of Yan's mansion stunned.

Didn’t the engagement be terminated?

Isn’t it that grace is broken?

The gate of Yan Mansion was already overcrowded.

The officials, businessmen and celebrities in the Ziqing Road and Qingzhou area, and the famous scholars and literati, all brought expensive birthday gifts to support Yan Xiufu's fiftieth birthday.

Who dares not come?

Yan Xiufu may not remember who comes, but if anyone does not come... he will definitely remember clearly.

In fact, most people can only go into the Yan family’s small door to respond to business and send a famous birthday gift. Then they can’t help but retreat with a smile and support the individual.

Not everyone is qualified to enter the Yan Mansion Back Garden, the real birthday party scene.

If Zhu Wei hadn't accompanied him, Tang Ku would definitely not have been able to get in.

Yan’s restlessness, the servants of the Yan family don’t care about this.

As soon as Zhu Wei appeared, many powerful and noble children immediately came up to greet each other. All kinds of butterflies with greasy butterflies came in a flock of them, and they could not even be chased away.

Zhu Wei is beautiful in nature, and the fragrance floats, and the focus of the crowd is everywhere you go.

For a moment, Zhu Wei was surrounded by stars, and Tang was standing alone behind the crowd.

But soon, the contemptuous eyes of these rich second-generations or official second-generations slowly shifted to the timid and cowardly Tang Abrupt.

What is a down-and-out servant dressed so dazzlingly?

Why is a cowardly deposed son who is a man who is in the same relationship with the number one beauty in Qingzhou?

He lowered his head abruptly and held his back with his arms around him.

While Zhu Wei was pretending to greet these playboys, she seemed to be worried that Tang Ku would be neglected, and she also turned her head and glanced at Tang Ku at her apologized gentle glance.

He was abrupt and waved his hand.

The seat has not started yet.

In the back garden where the Jiedushi's Mansion is full of spring, the Yan family divided the guests into three levels according to their official positions, ranks, and status, and set up 108 seats. In other words, 108 distinguished guests personally attended the birthday banquet of the Jiedushi Yan Xiufu today.

Naturally, the closer the chairman who is close to Yan Xiufu, the more noble he is, the more he is.

This may not be Yan Xiufu's idea, but is generally arranged by the Yan family.

The more people come to pay their birthday in person, the more rare treasures there will be, and the benefits their relatives will get. This deal is very cost-effective.

Because the host had not yet come forward and the banquet had not really begun, the guests could only wait patiently in groups of three or five.

Tang Ku stayed alone in a corner where no one paid attention, lowered his eyebrows and head, and continued to play the role of the timid little trash of the Tang family. In fact, it cannot be regarded as a performance, it is just to maintain the boy's previous state.

Officials, military generals, and staff from the vassal states of Ziqing and Qingzhou were basically on the scene. All the big merchants in the Qingzhou area and the famous scholars and scholars in the scholars and scholars in the sects were absent.

Tang was as careful as his hair, and he found that Zhu Teng and his hard-core confidant, such as Ma Tengjiu, the magistrate of Yidu County, were missing.

The sudden thoughts are moving.

Under the seemingly peaceful sky in Qingzhou, the wind is sunny and harmonious at this moment, but in fact it has already been undercurrents and murderous intent.

Tang lowered his head and was silent, feeling that he was low-key and humble enough, but there were still a very small number of people who still put their bad eyes on him.

He sneered in his heart, looking at Zhu Wei, who was surrounded by a group of young men not far away, smiling like a peony blooming, and being versatile.

This woman's terror was beyond his imagination.

The undercurrent forces active behind Qingzhou seem to be led by the governor Zhu Teng, but in fact the real controller is the seventeen-year-old Miss Zhu family.

If you say such a thing, no one will believe it.

As the number one socialite in Qingzhou, Zhu Wei has countless suitors around her now.

The representative figure among them is Xu Shijie, who was also a talented man in Qingzhou after both being officials in Beijing, and the youngest son of Xu Ping, the ninth rank of the Honglu Temple.

Tang Kuo laughed secretly. Xu Ping was just an ordinary diplomat. If he was suffocated, he would be a small section-level cadre. In the capital where third-rank officials and princes were everywhere, he was nothing. So, Xu Shijie was just behind an incomparable official.

However, Xu Shijie was famous when he was young and was a top student at Qingzhou Academy. In addition to taking the regular path of imperial examinations and becoming an official, he could also get a letter of recommendation from a major figure in Chang'an, so as to successfully get into the civil service system of the Tang Dynasty, provided that his father had such a connection.

Xu Shijie is a very high-profile person and considers himself the most worthy and qualified to pursue Zhu Wei in Qingzhou City.

Don Chu did not deny this.

However, he felt that if a so-called young handsome man like Xu Shijie was really touched by Zhu Wei, he would not know how to die in the future.

"Is it that illegitimate son of the Tang family - Tang abrupt? I'm Xu Shijie."

Xu Shijie walked slowly, with a paper fan and a silk scarf, graceful and elegant smile on his face.

He originally wanted to mock him, "You are the cowards of the Tang family, right?" but later he felt that this was not something that a gentleman like him could say, so he changed his mind temporarily.

Tang Ku didn't know where the son of a section-level cadre got such a strong sense of superiority. He slowly looked up and looked at Xu Shijie and bowed: "It's Tang Ku who is here, I've seen this young master."

Of course he recognized Xu Shijie.

After the Ganlu Incident last year, Xu Shijie publicly wrote an article with the title "Why did the Tang family produce waste?", which was full of ridicule.

It seemed like the young scholar's elegance was actually instructed by his father to show kindness and flatter the eunuch group.

Otherwise, why would his father Xu Ping deliberately spread his son's articles around Chang'an City?

Xu Shijie smiled and said condescendingly: "It's abrupt, today is the birthday of Mr. Yan. It's really a great scholar who talks and laughs, but no white dicks when they come and go. With your identity, how can you be qualified to go to such occasions?"

Tang Abruptly cursed in his heart... Erbi. He quickly turned his head and turned around, pretending to hear nothing, and continued to stand there with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered.

Xu Shijie was inexplicably resentful and was a little reluctant to stop. He immediately asked one after another: "Dang abruptly, since you are here to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Yan, then what about your gift? Could it be that you just came in with your hands empty and just to eat and drink?"

Tang lowered his head and curled his lips abruptly, and kept silent.

Xu Shijie provoked for a long time without a response. As his talented man in Qingzhou, it would naturally be boring to continue to get entangled.

He held the air, raised his head and chest, as proud as a big rooster. He walked around and was about to leave, but suddenly he was tripped by a foot that stretched out of thin air.

Tang suddenly jumped over, leaned over and grabbed Xu Shijie's arm, pulled him up hard, and smiled and said, "Young Master Xu, be careful when walking."

Xu Shijie's face turned pale. He actually didn't see who was deliberately stumbling, but in such an occasion, he could not find out the truth. He had to glar at Tang Tang abruptly, turn around and leave.

Tang smiled abruptly and quickly bowed to him: "Young Master Xu, please leave!"

Xu Shijie didn't take two steps, and suddenly heard an abrupt laughter coming from behind: "Mr. Xu, your chrysanthemum... fell."

Xu Shijie turned around and saw Tang abruptly smiling and holding a small branch of white petals and pink stamens in his hand. Two of the five flowers had left, and the remaining three were still shaking tremblingly.

A woman in a gorgeous costume next to her was from somebody's noble lady, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Tang family Xiaolang, this is an apricot blossom, not a chrysanthemum!"

Xu Shijie walked over with anger and grabbed it, then carefully tied the broken apricot blossoms in his ear, and then drove them away.

He was confused and muttered continuously: "Chrysanthemum...apricot blossom?"
