"Don't be afraid, smile, this is the young master of Duke Zhuang's mansion, Zhuang Ke."
As soon as Yan Mingzhu finished the introduction, Zhuang Ke added: "Qi Jue, King of Dingbei, is my eldest nephew, and I am his uncle!"
After learning that Zhuang Ke was Qi Jue's uncle, Yuan Yixiao immediately relaxed her guard, "It turns out that he is the uncle of His Highness Prince Dingbei. Young Master please come in and invite him."
As soon as Zhuang Ke saw that the Yuan family had a very good attitude when they met Qi Jue, he immediately felt that something was going on!
It seems that his eldest nephew is not hopeless, at least he has flattered Yan Mingzhu's family.
"Junior Zhuang Ke, I have met the old lady."
Zhuang Ke rarely behaved himself and gave a junior salute to the elder's wife.
The senator's wife smiled and nodded, "It turns out it's from the Duke's Mansion. When the Duke's Mansion held the Full Moon Wine Festival, I went there, and it grew so big in the blink of an eye."
"It turns out that the old lady has met me when I was so young. That means our two families are really destined to be together!"
The senator's wife couldn't help but be startled when she heard this. She just said a polite word, how could the fate of the two families be involved?
"Grandma, my young father-in-law bought these snacks on the road."
Yan Mingzhu distributed the snacks to the family. Seeing Zhuang Ke being so polite, the elder's wife looked at him with particularly kind eyes.
After all, no one else had time to walk around when they saw the Yuan family's current situation. How could someone like Zhuang Ke take the initiative to come to their door, greetings and giving them food?
"You are too polite, kid. Thank you for sending Zhuzhu back. Can we have dinner together? If you don't mind, we can sit down and eat together..."
Before the wife of the elder had finished speaking, Zhuang Ke sat down very quietly and said: "I don't mind it, I don't mind it. I can smell the fragrance from all the way, and my stomach has been growling for a long time."
He's screaming!"
As he said that, he waved to Yan Mingzhu, "Miss Yan San, come and sit down quickly, you're welcome!"
Everyone: "..."
What's going on with this anti-customer focus?
Although the atmosphere is usually harmonious when the family dines together, today it is even more lively with the addition of a chatty Zhuang Ke.
This young man's tongue was like a flower, and his mouth was so sweet that he made the senator's wife and others laugh.
After he was full, Zhuang Ke touched his belly and said, "Old madam, the food cooked by your chef is so delicious. After I ate it, I felt that the food elsewhere was tasteless."
"Xiao Ke, if you like it, you can come and sit down when you have time in the future..."
No, in just one meal, the elder's wife's name for Zhuang Ke became the friendly Xiao Ke.
Afraid that the old lady would change her words, Zhuang Ke immediately said: "If you like it, I will bother you a lot from now on. As long as the old lady doesn't mind my making trouble!"
"How could it be? Now that outsiders see our Marquis Mansion, it's too late to walk around. As long as you are willing to come, I welcome you."
Zhuang Ke immediately said with a serious look on his face: "The veteran general and the others must have been wronged. Not only do I think so, but my eldest nephew thinks so too. He also said that he will do his best to reverse the case for the Yuan family!
"
Hearing this, the senator's wife was quite surprised, "This... His Highness King Dingbei really said this?"
Oops, I accidentally overstated my words.
But after he said these words, he couldn't let his eldest nephew have a bad image in front of his future grandmother, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Yes... yes, my eldest nephew is very powerful. Just the former one from before."
Guo Xiang, the Minister of Household Affairs,
Deliberately delaying military rations and being corrupt, he just took a sword and killed the nephew alone, and wiped the neck of this corrupt official without saying a word, which is really satisfying!"
"His Royal Highness King Dingbei is indeed unparalleled in his grace, but after all, this is a matter of our Yuan family, and this matter is very involved. If you are not careful, you will drag His Highness into trouble. It is really not good to trouble him."
Zhuang Ke waved his hands repeatedly, "How can it be trouble? One family doesn't speak the same language..."
Everyone looked at him in surprise. Zhuang Ke almost bit his tongue. Oops, he accidentally said what was on his mind!
"I...I mean, my nephew feels that the Yuan family has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for hundreds of years and has worked hard, so he will never have any rebellious intentions. He also led troops to fight, so he feels the same way, so this is what he should do
If you do it, Madam, you don’t have to be polite.”
I wiped my sweat secretly. It was really not easy to have a meal. If you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with countless lies. Is it easy for him?
How could Yan Mingzhu not understand Zhuang Ke's intentions? It was really helpless and funny.
"It's getting late. If the young master doesn't come back home yet, my family will be worried. Shall I see the young master off?"
Zhuang Ke stood up immediately and said, "No, Miss Yan San, you have been tired for the whole day. I know the way, so I can just walk back by myself."
"Xiaoxiao, give Xiaoke a gift as a gift."
The words of the elder lady are exactly what Zhuang Ke wants!
When walking back, Zhuang Ke seemed to ask casually: "Sister Xiaoxiao, are there many guests like me in the Hou Mansion on weekdays?"
Yuan Yixiao was stunned by this laughter from her sister.
This young father-in-law really didn't care about anything, and his sister's change of words was quite smooth.
"There used to be quite a few, but since the incident happened in the Hou Mansion, apart from His Royal Highness Prince Dingbei, you are the only one who has come, my young master."
Zhuang Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, "My eldest nephew also came to the house as a guest?"
"It doesn't count as a guest. When my grandfather and the others went to the funeral, His Highness brought His Majesty's imperial edict, which allowed my grandfather and the others to be buried safely. Your Highness has done a great favor to the Yuan family, and we can't repay it."
Unexpectedly, my eldest nephew is quite wise. This is not only funny, but very funny!
"There is no need to repay, just pledge yourself to me!"
Yuan Yixiao stopped and looked at him in shock, then quickly covered her chest and took two steps back, "You... you are a scoundrel!"
Zhuang Ke is scratching his face, ah? How did he become a deceiver?
Seeing Yuan Yixiao's avoidant look, Zhuang Ke reacted belatedly.
"Hey, sister Xiaoxiao, you misunderstood. I don't like you, ah, no, I mean, when I said I pledge myself to you, I didn't mean you."
Yuan Yixiao suddenly realized, "Maybe... you like my cousin?"
Zhuang Ke: "..."
How can you think of this?
"Although your family background is not bad, you seem... not very reliable, not very smart, and not worthy of my cousin. I am the first to disagree with this marriage!"
Zhuang Ke: "..."
Why are you talking and attacking personally?
"Of course I'm not a good match for your cousin. What I mean is, do you think your cousin and my eldest nephew are a good match?"
Yuan Yixiao immediately looked at him as if he was joking, "Cousin and His Highness King Dingbei? Are you awake, or am I deaf? How is this possible?"
