Chapter 369 Identity
Just as the three of them were discussing, the Murong family was busy. Murong Fu's fat body seemed so flexible now. He went to the kitchen to see if the dishes were ready, and then to the living room to see the tables, chairs, benches, and pastries and teas were ready. At the same time, he asked the servants and maids to put on the new clothes for the New Year one by one.
Although the maids and servants didn't know what was going on in this mansion, the master had the order and they naturally had to obey. So these maids and maids were like ducks, and were driven around by Murong Fu and Murong.
Finally, the preparations were almost done, and it was almost noon.
After checking whether the wine and food are complete, whether the table, chairs and benches are complete, and whether the Ding Yatou is dressing properly, Mr. Murong sorted out his clothes and said to the butler: "Go and find the lady!"
The housekeeper was not delayed and hurried to find Murong Yan.
Murong Yan, who was talking to Zi Ling, heard that his father was looking for him, and then he sued Zi Ling. Then he came to the yard. Seeing that his father was going back and forth so anxious that he was paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, he said wonderingly: "Father, why are you anxious at this time?"
As soon as he heard Murong Yan's voice, Murong Fu felt as if he had heard the sound of nature. His fat face was filled with smiles. Then he asked: "Daughter, are those adults still there?"
Murong Yan nodded, looked at Murong Fu with some strangeness, and asked, "Father, why are you asking about this?"
Murong Fu patted Murong Yan's head intimately and said, "As the master of the Murong family, should I go to see them?"
Murong Yan frowned and said with a surprise: "Isn't this going to have a meal soon? I can see you naturally. Why do you have to do this and go to visit me specifically?"
"You don't know this!"
Murong Fu said seriously, "As the head of the family, it is very rude to not visit such a distinguished guest. I think our Murong family is well-known in Yangzhou City. How could such an rude thing be done? So I decided that it would be better to visit it!"
"But……!"
Murong Yan hesitated a little, paused, showed a strange smile, and said, "Father, that's my guest!"
Murong Fu did not change at all and said seriously: "Yan'er, you are the eldest lady of the Murong family. Your guest is the guest of the Murong family, and I am the host of the Murong family. Isn't the guest of the Murong family my guest?"
"It's OK, OK!"
Murong Yan couldn't resist Murong Fu's reasons and nodded, "Okay, it's already noon now. You, please go with me to invite them to the table. How about that?"
Murong Fu laughed and said, "I am worthy of being my good daughter!"
After saying that, he hurried towards the backyard. Murong Yan, who was walking behind her, couldn't help but be surprised. Her father usually walks slowly, and today he moves very neatly.
After leaving the gate of the garden, Murong Fu was no longer anxious. He looked inside the garden and then asked, "Where are those adults?"
Murong Yan pointed to a secluded place next to the garden and said, "The one who was facing us was the prefect of Yangzhou, Lord Song, the prefect of Yangzhou, who was in plain clothes, and the older one was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the other one was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, who we called for before. I don't know what official title it was, but it should be not low. Otherwise, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice would not be so familiar with him. Next to Brother Wang is his wife, Sister Ziling!"
Among the three, Jiang Lang seemed so prominent. After taking a closer look, Murong Fu couldn't help but wonder: "I seem to have seen the brother Wang you mentioned somewhere!"
Murong Yan couldn't help but be stunned and smiled, "Father, why are you kidding? No one has ever been to Yangzhou before. How could you have seen someone else?"
"You forgot that I went to the capital last month!"
Murong Fu still stared at Jiang Lang who was chatting and laughing, and then said, "At that time, we happened to meet the imperial army that had passed away. I heard that the imperial court defeated Yesen's army in Watami!"
Murong Yan nodded and said, "I have heard of this, and I also heard that the general of the defeated Yesen army was Wang, and he was a young general..."
As soon as these words were said, Murong Yan was stunned and then he was stunned for a long time without coming to his senses. After a while, he felt a little disbelief and said, "You said, is this eldest brother Wang the general?"
Murong Fu nodded and said, "At that time, there were many people in this capital, and I also looked at it from afar. It was your eldest brother Wang vaguely!"
Murong Yan was completely stunned, and then said, "Father, this... this is so surprising!"
Murong Fu nodded and said, "It's really surprising. OK, let's not say much, please invite them to the table!"
Murong Yan nodded a little dullly, then Jiang Lang and others walked away.
When Zi Ling saw the two of them coming, she went up to meet them. Seeing Zi Ling, Murong Yan said, "Sister, the meal is ready, so please invite Brother Wang and the others to take their seats!"
Zi Ling nodded and smiled, "That's so much trouble for you!"
Murong Yan shook her head quickly and said, "No trouble, no trouble. I can't even invite a hero like Brother Wang!"
"Heroes?"
Zi Ling was stunned, then smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call them now!"
While the wait between Murong Yan and his daughter, Zi Ling came to Jiang Lang and whispered in Jiang Lang's ear: "My sister Murong has prepared lunch, please invite us to the table!"
Jiang Lang nodded and signaled to know, then smiled and said, "Mr. Mi, Lord Song, it's already noon now. Miss Murong has prepared lunch. I think we won't refuse. Don't let others down!"
Lord Mi nodded and smiled, "That's right, my court hasn't given me much money this time. I have to serve the meal with Lord Wang in the future. Where can I go, I have to bring me with me!"
This is naturally a joke. The Minister of Justice is a second-rank official, one level higher than Jiang Lang's third-rank official. If you go there, you don't need to speak. The officials below will naturally arrange everything properly.
And how could Jiang Lang not know all this? He smiled slightly and said, "If Lord Mi is willing, I will naturally be happy. If the Minister of Justice goes out with me, I will not be laughing at this face!"
"Ha ha……!"
The two of them laughed happily.
While talking, the three of them had already arrived in front of Murong and his daughter. Murong Fu immediately knelt down and said, "Murong Fu is the name of Cao Ming Murong Fu, please see the three lords!"
Jiang Lang quickly stopped him and smiled and said, "Mr. Murong is now seeing each other. We are Ling Yuan's friends. Today we are all ordinary people, but there are no adults or no adults. If Mr. Murong still sees each other like this, then he will be a little unstoppable!"
"that is!"
Murong Yan next to him also began to say, "Brother Wang is not at all. Father, you are still like this. Wouldn't you be too disgusted!"
"Miss Murong said it very well!"
Lord Mi also spoke at this time and said, "We are not officials now, but we are just ordinary people. Today, Mr. Murong is inviting us, and we can't thank you. If you see you like this, we dare not eat this food!"
"It's all my fault, my fault!"
Murong Fu is a businessman, so he is naturally very smart. He patted his forehead and smiled apologized: "Then please, three of you, I have ordered people to prepare wine and food. Although the small wet house is not as good as those big taverns, it tastes good!"
"Just make do with it!"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "To be honest, I really want to eat some of those wines and dishes that are right now."
"Then I'll have a drink with you today!"
Lord Mi smiled at this time.
A large group of people were polite here, and Murong Yan was a little anxious and said, "I asked if I were talking and talking, the wine and food were cold!"
The few people looked at each other, laughed, and then humbled each other, and then walked inside.
Murong Yan also greeted the scholars and entered the hall together.
After cooking, Jiang Lang nodded in his heart when he looked at the wine and dishes on the table. The dishes on the table were very rich, but most of them were wild vegetables, mountain delicacies, etc., not big fish and meat. It seems that the chef knows him and others very well. Usually in Beijing, he is used to big fish and meat. Now when he comes to Yangzhou, big fish and meat naturally does not arouse the interest of himself and others. On the contrary, these wild vegetables are very suitable for the tastes of him and others.
"good!"
Jiang Lang nodded and praised, "It seems that Mr. Murong knows our intentions!"
