On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red
Chapter 143 While she was toasting, something happened to Wen Yidi again
As the sun sets, there are many distinguished guests at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xu Shihuan followed Prime Minister Xu and greeted his father's colleagues next to each other, his cheeks going numb with laughter.
But she didn't dare to relax for a moment, forcing herself to remember as many adults' names and faces as possible. As for the official position, she can only remember it later according to the booklet her father gave her.
Xu Shihuan didn't like this kind of social occasion, but now, she had to force herself to do it, and she had to do it well.
In the past, she only saw the glorious side of her father, and thought that after being named on the gold medal list, all the suffering in this life would be over. In the days to come, just enjoy it with peace of mind.
But when it was his turn, Xu Shihuan realized that there was nothing easy in this world. If you want to be famous in front of others, you have to work hard behind the scenes.
At this time, Mr. Deng, the Minister of Rites, came over with his daughter Deng Wanyu. Just following behind his father, Xu Shihuan had already learned almost everything about officialdom. Now I met an acquaintance, and I just used it to practice with her.
Seeing Xu Shihuan skillfully chatting with him, Mr. Deng felt mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that his daughter was not as good as the one from Prime Minister Xu's family, but he didn't expect that she was so far behind.
He originally thought that Deng Wanyu was admitted to Jinshi because the ancestral tomb at home was smoking. But what happened in Qiongxian Building a few days ago finally reached his ears. Unexpectedly, as soon as the green smoke came out, it was doused by Wen.
Therefore, when he saw Wen Yidi coming in well-dressed and carrying many gifts, Mr. Deng quickly made an excuse and took his daughter to hide away.
"Sir Xu, a few small gifts are not respectful."
Since the renovation of Guan Mansion began, Wen Yidi has not had a good conversation with Xu Shihuan for a while. When he spoke now, there was a hint of tremor in his voice.
Xu Shihuan looked at the almost exaggerated "little gift" in Wen Yidi's hand and secretly thought that he was reliable in doing things. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion does not lack this thing from him, it can be seen from the gifts that he attaches great importance to today's meeting.
Xu Shihuan pretended to be calm and said, "Let it go." Wen Yidi didn't dare to stay long, so he greeted her with a few words and then walked in.
The night is getting darker, and the guests coming to the banquet are basically in place. Xu Shihuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take a short rest when he heard a voice coming from afar:
"The Lord of Deshan County has arrived!"
Xu Shihuan secretly thought that it was not good, but he still faced him bravely.
Li Xian'er didn't have many friends, and the owner of Deshan County was one of them. Before Li Xianer went to live in Ezhou, she and the Deshan County Lord were as good as the same person.
Fortunately, the mother of County Master Deshan was sensible and knew that her daughter and Li Xian'er would get into trouble sooner or later, so she immediately arranged a marriage for her and found a military general as her husband.
After the marriage, the relationship between the couple was relatively harmonious. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The general was tricked by the enemy's spies and his horse fell into the bottom of the cliff. Not even his body was left behind.
The head of Deshan County became a widow from then on and was depressed all day long. But her visit really exceeded everyone's expectations.
Although there was no direct conflict between Xu Shihuan and County Master Deshan, her relationship with Li Xian'er was so bad that those two people probably said bad things about her behind her back. This time the Lord of Deshan County made a sudden visit, fearing that it was a weasel paying New Year greetings to the rooster.
"My minister, Xu Shihuan, respectfully welcomes Lord Deshan County."
Xu Shihuan bowed firmly, and no one could find anything wrong with his expression, movements, or tone. The expression of Lord Deshan County was lukewarm, making people confused about the details.
However, the gift she brought was a red coral bonsai, which looked priceless, which really surprised Xu Shihuan.
"Her dead husband worked under your grandfather before. You don't need to worry too much, just accept the gift with peace of mind."
Prime Minister Xu arrived in time and whispered a reminder in Xu Shihuan's ear. I heard that it was for General Guan's sake, which made Xu Shihuan feel at ease.
"Okay, you should be busy with your business. I'll just go find the women to accompany me."
County Master Deshan knew in his heart that the banquet hosted by the Prime Minister's Mansion was ostensibly to celebrate Xu Shihuan's upcoming appointment, but in fact it was to give her an opportunity to get to know the courtiers.
She and Xu Shihuan originally had nothing to talk about, but she came here today solely because of the relationship between General Guan and her late husband.
Xu Shihuan wished she would stay far away from him, so he walked quickly to the door and continued to greet the visitors. When everyone was almost there, she picked up her wine glass again, and toasted table after table, rattling off the pre-prepared words for the occasion.
Wen Yidi watched Xu Shihuan shuttle among the people like a butterfly, and couldn't help but feel some complicated emotions in his heart.
The moment he found out that Xu Shihuan had won the top prize in the exam, Wen Yidi felt happy from the bottom of his heart. But the panic and uneasiness that followed in his heart almost swallowed him up.
Over the years, Wen Yidi has seen too many people abandon their wives and children after gaining power. Although this kind of behavior is despised, it is not uncommon.
But his relationship with Xu Shihuan was a little different. Even though he was unwilling in his heart, Wen Yidi had to admit that it was not a wise move for Xu Shihuan to keep him by his side.
If one day Xu Shihuan abandons him completely for the sake of her own future, instead of calling her heartless, people will applaud her.
Even today, when Xu Shihuan said that he wanted to take him to meet his parents, Wen Yidi was half-convinced. Meeting his parents, this kind of move that was close to acknowledging his identity was not appropriate for him.
It was not difficult for him to imagine how ugly the expressions on Prime Minister Xu and Mrs. Xu's faces would be when they saw him, and how unpleasant the words coming out of their mouths would be. Wen Yidi wouldn't be surprised even if they hit him a few times.
To be honest, he was a little nervous, a little scared, and a little bit hopeful at this time. To this end, he put on his best clothes and prepared priceless gifts.
He secretly told himself that when he met Xu Shihuan's parents later, no matter how ugly their faces were, no matter how ugly their words were, or even if they beat him, he would not complain at all.
Because he did do something wrong. He knew that his existence would be a thunderbolt in Xu Shihuan's career, and he knew that he would put Xu Shihuan into a dangerous situation, but he still did not choose to leave.
While Wen Yidi was standing in the corner, thinking about all this, a group of people suddenly came towards him.
"Huh? Isn't this the royal merchant Wen Yidi? If you don't do your business well, why do you suddenly appear here? Could it be that you have fallen in love with another noble lady and are ready to stalk her?"
"Princess Shuhui is now married to the country of Siwu, but she didn't take you with her. Are you disappointed?"
Xu Shihuan never expected that something would happen to Wen Yidi during the moment when she was toasting.
