The main courtyard of Luo Mansion was bustling with activity.
Luo Jibei came to the main venue around the end of the hour. As soon as he came, he was chased by a group of people and asked why the chief assistant's daughter didn't come.
There are also a group of young men from the minister's family who are looking forward to it, just hoping that the daughter of the chief minister will come over soon so that they can have a few words with the daughter of the chief minister. If the daughter of the chief minister takes a fancy to them, they will be very successful.
Luo Jibei ignored everyone's questions and walked directly to the chairman's seat to sit down.
The main banquet did not start until noon, but before that, Luo Jibei also prepared some programs for them. For example, he invited the theater troupe from Baixilou to perform a play, playing the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which was in line with the theme of today's Chinese Valentine's Day.
.Of course, originally The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was a tragedy, but the Baixilou drama has reasonably changed the ending, making such a beautiful love even better.
Luo Jibei smiled and thanked everyone, raised his teacup, and offered tea instead of wine to everyone.
Most of the people present today had some interaction with Luo Jibei on weekdays. In fact, Luo Jibei didn't send out many invitations, but when the courtiers heard that Luo Jibei recognized his daughter, they all rushed over to congratulate them. Moreover,
Today, they basically did not bring their wives, but their children, just to see if there was a chance to become the chief minister...
Guo Zhongshu Ling stood up and said to Luo Jibei: "Sir, congratulations! We are all very happy to hear that you have recognized your beloved daughter. Sir, you have been single for so many years, and now you have found your beloved daughter. Really
It’s very difficult. But I don’t know...where is your daughter-in-law now? She has never been seen..."
As Guo Zhongshu Ling said, he also looked at the others. Everyone agreed and whispered, why didn't the first assistant daughter come out?
Luo Jibei glanced at Guo Zhongshu Ling and paused slightly. He was anxious. Guo Zhongshu Ling almost harmed Jiang You in the past. He couldn't forget this holiday.
Luo Jibei raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. My little girl wants to have fun, so I'll come back later. After all, the banquet officially starts at noon."
The implication is, who asked you to come here so early!
Besides, many people came uninvited, so it’s good that he didn’t chase them away.
Guo Zhongshu's face felt embarrassed. It felt like a slap in the face, but he really didn't know what to say.
He could only force a smile.
Luo Jibei smiled and said, "It's still a while before noon, so why don't we all watch a show? Everyone will definitely like the show at Baixilou."
Luo Jibei glanced at the butler, who immediately started making arrangements.
The stage in the middle had been set up long ago, and soon the play of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl began.
The banquet hall, which was originally noisy, has become quiet now.
The plays in Baixilou are becoming more and more famous and have become a must in the capital.
Murong Xiu had long lost interest in these, and he had changed many of the plays. In his previous life, he was a screenwriter. He knew all kinds of plays very well, and he also knew what kind of plays the world liked. He had calculated everyone's ending.
, has been plotting, trying to find a good ending for himself. But when people are involved in the situation, they often can't help themselves. Just like now... everything is obviously going well, but I never expected that Jiang You would actually
Out of control.
Murong Xiu still can't figure out what went wrong. Based on his understanding of the world in the book, this should be impossible.
When he learned that Luo Jibei had found his daughter, he felt even more incredible.
In the original work, Luo Jibei left the dynasty very early and went to find Luo Huayan, never to return. In the end, Jiang You found out that his biological father was Luo Jibei, and the story almost ended here.
As for whether the father and daughter met again, it was left blank in the original work.
But now, this line has completely changed.
Jiang You unexpectedly found Luo Jibei so early and suddenly became the daughter of the first assistant. After that, Jiang You's status suddenly became extremely noble. Who dares not to take her seriously?
Murong Xiu secretly felt that Jiang You might become even more difficult to deal with.
Murong Xiu thought of this, stood up on his own initiative, went to Luo Jibei's side, and greeted Luo Jibei politely: "Master Chief Assistant."
"What's wrong, Your Highness? Isn't this show... good to watch?" Luo Jibei pointed at the stage.
Murong Xiu glanced at the stage, then smiled and said: "The show is naturally wonderful, but I still want to have a few words with Mr. Chief Assistant."
"That's fine." Luo Jibei nodded, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat."
Murong Xiu sat down and said, "I am also very happy for you, Your Majesty the First Assistant, to have found your beloved daughter, but... most of the courtiers who came here today came here with the idea of marrying the First Assistant.
"
Luo Jibei looked at Murong Xiu and said, "What? Does the Third Highness have any special ideas?"
Murong Xiu smiled and said: "Master Chief Assistant, I will stop beating around the bush with you. I have been in love with Jiang You for more than a day or two. Now, among the princes, only my wife's position is vacant.
, Your Excellency, instead of worrying so much about getting married among these courtiers, it would be better for me to help you. I will definitely take care of her and never let her suffer the slightest injustice."
Although Luo Jibei had long known about Murong Xiu's evil deeds and had often heard Jiang You talk about Murong Xiu's scheming, but when he actually faced him now, he was still shocked by Murong Xiu's shamelessness.
How did he do that?
How could it be said so naturally?
Luo Jibei twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Does His Highness the Third Prince have some misunderstandings about the meaning of 'care'?"
Murong Xiu was stunned for a moment.
Luo Jibei continued: "If I remember correctly, there were more than one or two festivals between you..."
Murong Xiu quickly explained: "That was all a misunderstanding. I never thought of becoming her enemy."
Luo Jibei raised her hand and said: "Okay, you don't have to say this anymore. She can make the decision on my daughter's marriage, and I won't interfere. As for the princess you mentioned... she won't be interested either.
She won’t be willing to compete with a group of women for your man, and she won’t go to the ash pit to pick up men.”
"You!" Murong Xiu was blocked and his face turned pale with anger.
In the ash pit...
Luo Jibei was just beating around the bush and calling him trash!
There is no term for garbage here. Garbage is just called filth, ash, pickled food, etc. The ash pit almost means the trash can at the garbage station.
Murong Xiu felt that he had been insulted.
Luo Jibei watched the show on the stage and didn't want to talk nonsense with Murong Xiu at all. He just waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, please come back and stop saying these unnecessary words."
Murong Xiu stood up with a cold face and returned to his previous position.
