Yunze followed Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Luo into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. The entire mansion looked joyful and festive. The maids and servants in the mansion were walking back and forth, looking very busy.

When Yunze saw this scene, he remembered that today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the custom in the north of Jing Dynasty, this day is the off year. According to the custom in the south, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is the off year.

No wonder the streets were very lively when they came. At that time, Yunze was only thinking about what would happen if he came to visit the Marquis, but he forgot that today is the New Year in the north.

Fortunately, when he came, he brought a lot of gifts, which was not rude. Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Luo didn't mention it, maybe because they thought Yunze knew about it.

When passing the first courtyard, there were a lot of carriages parked in the courtyard. Judging from the luxury of the carriages, it seems that a lot of guests came to Jing'an Marquis Mansion today.

It was already Youshi, the time for the dinner. These people were probably coming to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion for the banquet. Yunze had a vague feeling that what Mrs. Luo said might mean something else.

Along the way, the servants of the Hou Mansion saluted everyone. After most of the people saluted, they secretly looked at Yunze and saw that Yunze was graceful and the maids all had faces full of joy. There was envy in the servant's eyes.

, there is also jealousy.

Soon after turning around the front yard, everyone came to the middle yard. The huge courtyard was filled with banquets. The crowd was crowded, and everyone was surrounding them. It seemed that they had not taken part in the banquet.

In the main hall in front, many people were gathered there talking about something, and in the middle was an old man who looked to be in his sixties. He seemed to be in good spirits.

The whole person exuded a sense of peace, but he also exuded a murderous aura, and an air of majesty without anger. That majesty showed that he had been in a high position for a long time.

Marquis Jing'an was a military general. He once served as the commander-in-chief of the border army and fought several tough battles with the Khitan. Although he did not win, he was not defeated. His title was inherited from his ancestors.

His ancestors once followed Taizu to conquer the world. After Taizu founded the country, he named the ancestor of the Luo family the Marquis of Jing'an, and he was regarded as a founding hero along with the Yang family, the Duke of Han Dynasty.

At this time, the old man in the main hall should be Marquis Jing'an. The crowd focused on him and surrounded him. Most of them were full of compliments. Yunze saw a familiar figure among these people.

Tong Ming, Marquis of Wu'an, was standing next to Marquis Jing'an. In front of Marquis Jing'an, Marquis Wu'an could only be regarded as a junior.

Moreover, the title of Marquis Wu'an is not hereditary, but is awarded by the current saint, and cannot be hereditary. In terms of title, Marquis Wu'an is lower than Marquis Jing'an, not to mention that he is still a junior.

It was not surprising that he would appear at the banquet at Jing'an Marquis Mansion. In addition to Wu'an Marquis, there were many other dignitaries who gathered there to chat and laugh.

These people were probably here to take pictures of Jing'an Houma, so I chose to come here today. Judging from the appearance, there were at least about a hundred people gathered here. The restaurant alone had more than ten tables prepared.

Marquis Jing'an is now the Crown Prince and Tutor, and can be considered a popular figure in the court. His son is also the Minister of Rites, a second-rank official, which is almost the same as Jing'an Marquis, the Crown Prince and Tutor, who is a first-rank official.

Jing Houhou's two grandsons also have official positions, the worst is seventh grade, and the other is sixth grade. Their future achievements will definitely be high. It is strange that the powerful people in the capital don't fawn over such a family.

As for the appearance of Marquis Wu'an, Yunze was actually not surprised. He even vaguely felt what the other party's purpose was. The most likely reason was to draw Marquis Jing'an into his main battle camp.

At this time, the excitement in the middle courtyard suddenly stopped with the arrival of Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Luo. Everyone looked over and hurriedly said hello to Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Luo.

As for Luo Qingcen who was following behind him, most of the people nodded to express their goodwill. When they came to Yunze, these people simply ignored him. I don't know if these people looked down on Yunze, or they didn't want to say hello rashly.

In the main hall, Marquis Jing'an also stopped talking and looked at Yunze. Standing behind him was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Luo Xuan. Behind the middle-aged man, there were two middle-aged men.

Young people in their teens are somewhat similar to middle-aged people.

They should be Luo Qingcen's uncle and two cousins. Seeing Luo Qingcen come in, Mr. Luo and his son and grandson behind him showed joy. If it weren't for the presence of guests, they were afraid that

It will be welcomed.

However, when they saw Yunze following behind Luo Qingcen, the four men from the Luo family immediately looked at him with some scrutiny. There was neither disgust nor liking in them, but it was a normal scrutiny.

"Grandpa...Uncle, eldest brother, second brother!" Seeing a few people in the hall, Luo Qingcen quickly greeted them with a sweet smile. After saying this, Luo Qingcen looked at Wu Anhou again and smiled.

A gift.

"My niece has met Uncle Tong!" She did not address Marquis Wu An by his title, but used a term of endearment. This was considered to give face to her grandfather, and also to Marquis Wu An.

The four of them nodded to Luo Qingcen, but didn't say much. After all, there were so many guests watching around, so they couldn't overdo it.

Now that everyone is here, let’s start the banquet and let’s talk during the dinner! Marquis Jingwu nodded to a steward on the side.

The housekeeper quickly invited everyone to sit down, while Marquis Jing'an led several officials and young people to a table in the main hall.

Marquis Jing'an sat in the main seat, and Marquis Wu An sat in the position below Marquis Jing'an's left hand. In ancient times, the seat was according to Shang Zuozundong. Marquis Wu An sat in the position below his left hand. He was considered the second most important person in the court.

The existence of Jing'an Hou.

Yunze's position was arranged below Marquis Wu An. The arrangement of this position made Yunze slightly stunned. The position below Marquis Wu An indicated that his status was second.

Yunze was filled with surprise. Judging from the seating arrangements, although Marquis Jing'an didn't seem to be enthusiastic about him, he obviously still gave him a lot of face.

He didn't mean to look down upon him, so he placed him in second place, second only to Marquis Wu An.

Opposite Yunze sat two young men. They looked to be in their early twenties. They were not particularly handsome, but they were passable.

They looked at Yunze with a hint of jealousy, but they didn't show it on the surface.

There were only five people in the entire table, and there was no one on the opposite side of Jing'anhou. Even Luo Ming and his two sons did not sit here. Instead, they sat at other tables.

In other words, the only people who are temporarily qualified to sit at Lord Luo's table are Yunze, Marquis Wu An and the two young men opposite. Their status is probably not simple.

"Oze, grandpa, let me introduce to you. This is Wu'an Hou Tong Ming Tong, whom you should have met..." Just as Yunze was surprised, Mr. Luo, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly looked towards

Yunze said in a calm voice.

As soon as he said these words, Yunze looked slightly startled. He didn't expect that the old master would actually open his mouth and call him Ozawa, and even call himself grandpa.

What he meant was that he admitted his identity in front of everyone! Yun Ze originally thought that the old master might want to make things difficult for him.

Now it seems that he is overthinking it. However, considering the favor Luo Qingcen receives in the Luo family, if she insists on marrying someone, even if the Luo family is unwilling, Luo Qingcen will probably not be embarrassed.

"Nephew Yunxian, we meet again! I didn't expect to meet you in this way... Let's get closer and closer in the future!"

At this time, Marquis Wu An finally spoke up and smiled at Yunze. He had not said a word to Yunze from the time he sat down until now. Yunze thought that the old man had forgotten him, or was pretending.

Don't want to take care of yourself.

Now it seems that this old guy is looking at Marquis Jing'an's attitude towards him. If Marquis Jing'an doesn't take him seriously, Marquis Wu An might find an opportunity to step on him a few times.

Marquis Jing'an was so close to him in front of so many people. He was probably telling others that Yunze would be his son-in-law, so don't mess with him!

"Tong Hou, long time no see, my little nephew is so polite!" Yunze cupped his hands to Wu An Hou, with an indifferent expression, and greeted Wu An Hou with a smile.

His expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and his attitude was calm and composed. This performance made Mr. Luo nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Luo Ming and his two sons, who were sitting at a few tables nearby, also nodded to Yunze, with some appreciation in their scrutinizing eyes.

Facing Marquis Wu An, Yunze was able to remain calm and calm, and their calm personality made them very satisfied.

Speaking of this, Lord Luo pointed to the two young men opposite Yunze and said: "Of these two, the one on the left is Li Quan, the son of Prime Minister Li You, and the one on the right is Gao Ying, the son of Lieutenant Gao."

Yunze looked at the two people opposite who had jealous faces and cold eyes, with indifferent expressions, and nodded slightly.

"I've seen these two young masters!" Yunze bowed his hands to the two of them! The two looked at Yunze, with a hint of arrogance on their faces, and just nodded.

Seeing such an expression in Yunze's eyes, he felt a chill in his heart, and there was a trace of amusement on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that these two guys were probably the ones reminded by Mrs. Luo outside the door.

The reason why they are able to sit in the position where Jing'anhou is is not because of their own status, but because of their father's shadow.

One of their fathers is the Right Chancellor, and the other is a Taiwei. They are both first-rank officials, with the same status as Marquis Jing'an. It is impossible for them to come in person to the New Year's Eve banquet of Marquis Jing'an's family. Sending two juniors here is also a good idea.

This is considered to be enough face for Jing'an Hou.

As for the official position of the Marquis of Wu'an, the Privy Envoy, his official position is from the first rank, which is one level higher than the Six Ministers, but one level lower than the Marquis of Jing'an. He should come here.

Of course, he may have come here with the intention of wooing Marquis Jing'an, otherwise, there might not be anyone more suitable for his alliance with the Right Prime Minister and the Grand Lieutenant.

The two guys in front of them obviously didn't like Yunze, or they didn't take Yunze seriously at all. They just nodded to Yunze's greetings, probably for Marquis Jing'an's sake.

Marquis Jing'an looked at the two young men on his right, his eyes slightly cold, but he did not get angry. His father's status was there, so it was not easy to offend him. It was not worth it to get angry over such a trivial matter.

"Let's have a dinner!" Marquis Jing'an nodded to the butler behind him. The butler quickly greeted and served the dishes.

During the banquet, Yunze toasted to Jinghouan and Wuanhou, but he still refused to toast to the two gentlemen opposite him.

Marquis Jing'an pretended not to notice this, but the eyes of the two young masters opposite him flashed with anger, and their eyes were cold, as if they were about to explode at any time.

Marquis Wu An sat there calmly, pretending not to notice what happened to the three young people at the table.

Marquis Jing'an even raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at the two young masters with a faint look, and there was a trace of teasing on the corner of his mouth. He had already openly praised Yunze in front of everyone.

But these two guys relied on their family backgrounds to ignore Yunze. How could he, the old marquis, indulge these two people?

You are rude first. If you have this grandson-in-law, you deserve it if he doesn't treat you badly.

"Grandpa Luo, my grandnephew is here to toast you. I wish Grandpa Luo a long life, as old as a cypress!" At this time, Li Quan stood up and toasted to Marquis Jing'an.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Jing'an smiled and nodded, but did not raise his glass.

Li Quan raised his glass and drank the wine, then opened his mouth and continued: "Grandpa Luo, my grandnephew came here today to ask grandpa to marry Miss Qingcen. I hope grandpa will agree to the marriage!"

As soon as he said these words, everyone who was eating around him was stunned. Everyone looked at Li Quan in astonishment and then at Yunze.

Everyone who had come back to their senses suddenly had a look of amusement and fun in their eyes. Marquis Jing'an's expression turned cold, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Just now he had made it clear that he recognized Yunze as his grandson-in-law, and now Li Quan proposed to marry him in public. What is this! Slap Yunze in the face in public? Or slap him in the face.

Before Marquis Jing'an could get angry, Gao Ying on the other side also stood up and said: "Grandpa Luo, my grandnephew is also here today on my father's orders to ask Grandpa Luo to marry Miss Qingcen. I hope Grandpa Luo will do it!"

As soon as Gao Ying said these words, everyone was stunned again. It didn't matter that Li Quan came to join in the fun. At this time, Gao Ying also came to join in the fun. What does this mean!?

Moreover, the two of them proposed to marry Luo Qingcen at the same time, but they did not show any intention of not dealing with each other. Instead, they looked at Yunze provocatively. This was obviously to embarrass Yunze.

Marquis Wu An glanced at Yun Ze, and then at the two people opposite him. His expression was calm, as if he didn't hear the two people messing around here.

Marquis Jing'an looked at the two people in front of him coldly, and there was a trace of anger in his heart that wanted to burst out. Speaking of which, the reason why he recognized Yunze as his grandson-in-law today was not just because his granddaughter liked Yunze.

What's more, he wanted to reject Li Quan and Gao Ying in public. When Li Quan and Gao Ying came over for today's New Year's banquet, he knew what these two people wanted to do.

Their intention was to take the opportunity to propose marriage to him, and their plan was not only to marry his granddaughter, but also to take the opportunity to draw him into the main battle camp.
