RNP Chapter 358
Chapter 358
The Chu State Envoy.
Chu Ningyu's face was full of disbelief, and she looked at the invitation in her hand with shock.
"How dare this living devil give me an invitation?"
She slapped the invitation in her hand on the table with a heavy slap, her face full of anger.
"Why is this palace here, doesn't he know?"
Others don't know about the humiliation of the Great Chu, the misery of the rattan armor soldiers, and even this disastrous defeat, but doesn't he know about it, Gao Yang?
Even her sister may have been bullied by Gao Yang, and her own buttocks were also hit.
Gao Yang actually dared to ask her for a gift, which was really against the heavens, too much!
"Princess, the negotiations are imminent, and Gao Yang is notoriously petty. If you give him a gift, he may not help, but if you don't give him a gift, he will definitely make things difficult."
Chu Qiong spoke, frowning.
Chu Ningyu took a deep breath and said unwillingly, "Then I have to prepare a gift for him?"
"Your Highness, people in Daqian have to bow their heads."
Chu Ningyu's eyes flickered. Although she was very unwilling, she had to admit that Chu Qiong was right.
Gao Yang might not do things if she gave him money, but if she didn't give him money, he would definitely make things difficult.
How could there be such a disgusting person in the world?
Chu Ningyu's phoenix eyes flickered, and she took several breaths to suppress the emotions in her heart.
The Imperial Censorate.
Yan Zheng also rubbed his eyes hard, a little bit unbelievable.
He Yan Zheng had been clean all his life, and he did his best to impeach, so almost no one dared to invite him.
But now, Gao Yang actually invited him!
He touched his pocket, looking embarrassed.
"This fellow, I will definitely impeach him later!"
For a time, almost all the prominent families and important officials in the court of Chang'an City received invitations from the Dingguo Mansion.
If the invitation was not sent to the Dingguo Mansion and the Minister of Revenue, they could not go, but since the invitation was sent to the mansion, they could not refuse to give face.
After all, Gao Yang might not remember those who gave gifts, but those who did not give gifts would probably be remembered by the living devil.
Once remembered, it would be a terrible thing!
"..."
Late at night.
The palace.
After Wu Zhao finished dealing with the memorials, she stretched lazily.
She seemed to remember something and said to Shangguan Wan'er, "The day after tomorrow is Gao Yang's coming-of-age ceremony?"
Shangguan Wan'er nodded and took out an invitation from the side, "Your Majesty remembered it correctly, and Lord Gao also sent an invitation to Your Majesty."
Wu Zhao was stunned when she heard this.
"What?"
"You also sent me an invitation? Present it!"
It was really rare to see such a thing. It was the first time she saw a minister who could send her an invitation to a coming-of-age ceremony!
When she saw the invitation with gold edges, even Wu Zhao was shocked.
"I underestimated Gao Yang's face after all."
"I have received it, and I guess there are more people in Chang'an City who have received it?"
Wu Zhao looked at Shangguan Wan'er and asked.
Shangguan Wan'er had no expression on her face.
"Almost all the well-known families and important officials in the court have received the invitation, and I heard..." Shangguan Wan'er paused, then said, "Even General Wang, the Chu State envoys, and even the Imperial Censor Yan Zheng, have received the invitation."
Wu Zhao: "..."
"As for Gao Yang, if it's not him who is embarrassed, then it's someone else."
No matter which one of these people is an extremely heavyweight.
Let's not talk about Wang Zhong and Chu Ningyu. The people in the Imperial Censorate make a living by impeachment. Ordinary people are afraid of them. Let alone contact, they have to stay away from them. Gao Yang is the first one to send an invitation!
Gao Yang is the only one who dares to fleece the Imperial Censorate!
I guess Yan Zheng himself didn't expect it, and he was even looking for money to buy gifts.
"I don't like this kind of scene, and it's not good to go. You can go on my behalf and prepare a gift."
"You can choose not to go, but you must get the gift. Gao Yang is really good at calculating."
Shangguan Wan'er bowed and said, "Yes!"
Wu Zhao glanced out the window, her eyes full of curiosity.
"But I'm a little curious, what can Gao Yang write?"
"Send someone to tell me when the time comes!"
Wu Zhao gave an order, and then continued to deal with the memorials.
"..."
Early in the morning of the day after tomorrow.
In the Dingguo Mansion, everyone in the mansion was energetic and cleaning the house, checking every detail.
Wang Tao was busy in the backyard, directing a group of chefs to prepare dishes for the VIPs at noon.
Gao Yang also got up early, energetic, and stretched his body in the small courtyard.
Gao Feng came over with his hands behind his back and said unhappily, "You bastard, you usually sleep so well, but you got up extra early today."
Gao Yang smiled.
"Today I am collecting money, no, today I am coming of age, so I have to get up early.. "
Gao Feng: "..."
He said unhappily, "Okay, follow me out to greet the guests."
Soon, the sun covered the earth, and the carriages of various families in Chang'an City came to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, arousing the curiosity of the people.
Fu Bo's voices also rang out one after another!
"The Right Guard General Qin Zhenguo has arrived!"
"The Left Guard General Lu Zhen has arrived!"
"The Protector of the Country Zhao Po Nu has arrived!"
"The Minister of Punishment Wang Yifan has arrived, and the Dali Temple Minister Lu Wen has arrived! "
Seeing this, Gao Yang also hurried forward with a big smile on his face.
Especially when his eyes fell on the heavy gift in his hand behind him, the smile on his face became more and more intense.
Some officials who arrived first, listening to these voices, showed astonishment on their faces.
They were envious, these were all important officials in the court!
Lü Zhen strode in, "Boy, today is your crowning ceremony, I have prepared a big gift for you."
"The best tiger whip, from Daqian, you will definitely be very strong after eating it!"
"Grandpa Lu's gift is really thoughtful."
This thing is really a good thing.
"Haha!"
Lü Zhen patted Gao Yang's shoulder and then walked in.
Even he was a little shocked, this scene was really terrifying.
"Minister of Rites, Miss Song is here! "
Song Li and Song Qingqing had just stepped into the Dingguo Mansion, and they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Obviously, everyone in Chang'an knew about the Song family and the Dingguo Mansion, and they looked at each other strangely.
"Mr. Gao, I know you like paintings, so I bought you a painting called "Lotus River". I hope you like it."
Song Qingqing handed over a scroll that looked extremely luxurious. Although her heart was bleeding, she showed a bright smile on her face.
Today, she dressed up specially, attracting many hot eyes.
Gao Yang looked at Song Qingqing, his face was indifferent and complicated, "This painting is thoughtful."
"Uncle Song, Qingqing, please come in. I still have to welcome guests. I hope you will forgive me for my poor hospitality."
Song Li stroked his beard and was in a good mood.
He said, "My dear nephew, please go first. The relationship between the Song family and the Dingguo Mansion is so polite! "
Song Qingqing also said in a gentle tone, "Master Gao, then Qingqing will go in first."
Gao Yang nodded.
Song Qingqing and Song Li also walked inside.
"Uncle Song has made them closer, but I see a hint of indifference on his face. It is obvious that there is a gap in their hearts that is difficult to melt. Qingqing, you have to keep working hard. This time, my Song family is bleeding a lot!"
"Thirty thousand taels!"
Song Li said, his heart bleeding.
Song Qingqing smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. When I didn't love you, you were Miss Song. Now I call you Qingqing again. This is a great improvement."
"It is normal to suffer some hardships and pay some price on the road to chasing your husband."
Song Qingqing said with a smile.
At the gate, Gao Feng whispered with an unhappy face, "Why are the Song family here? And why does this "Lotus River Picture" sound familiar to me?" "
Gao Yang said calmly, "I took it from my grandfather's collection and put it in the Treasure Pavilion."
"Selling price: 30,000 taels!"
"It's a small pitfall for the Song family. First, turn the enemy into a friend. There will be one more knife in the court. Isn't it nice to clean up in the future?"
