The screen is carved with red sandalwood wood with auspicious cloud patterns, crimson coral beads are hung on the inner door rail, and four-cornered gilt palace bells are hung on the hem, which jingle and jingle as they sway in the breeze.

Inside, stood a vague figure, and a round object slipped from the figure's hand. With a "pop", a male voice came from the door, "Master, how are you? Now that the table has been seated, Madam has been urged by someone again."

"It's almost ready!" A clear answer came from inside, with the unique greenness of teenagers.

Immediately afterwards, a white and slender finger stretched out from behind the crimson beads, and picked up the round pendant.

Wang Weizhi hung the jade beads on his waist, straightened the corners of his clothes, seeing that there was no more chance, he finally dragged his feet out from behind the screen.

He was originally the only son of Wang Yuan's family in Qingshan Town, but half a month ago, a governor of Song Dynasty came from the capital, and came to the door with a gold medal engraved with the word Wei.

At first, Wang Weizhi was only familiar with the golden sign. He vaguely remembered that when he was young, he liked some shiny things, which seemed to be worn by his side. He didn’t know where he threw them. The two missing things are not much thought about.

Unexpectedly, this gold medal was originally the unique fate card of the Wei family in the capital, and it was a symbol of the Wei family's status. The only son of Lord Wei Hou had been homeless since he was a child, and had not heard from him for more than ten years. He found a sign, found the source and went to the door.

When his little mother and father heard about this man's intentions, they became greedy and tried to pretend to be dead.

It is common for a civet cat to exchange princes, but once discovered, it is a serious crime of beheading!Even if Wang Weizhi was in a daze, he would not dare to do such a thing.

But I don't know how his little mother persuaded his father to force him to die, and he was depressed all day long. Seeing that he vented more and breathed less, if Wang Weizhi would not let go, he would really have to watch his father die.

His little mother took his little sister to mourn in his yard every day, seeing that his father was dying, Wang Weizhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

As if afraid of his repentance, the group rushed to the capital immediately without stopping. Wang Yuanwai's family was resettled in the suburbs by the people of the Wei Mansion, and Wang Weizhi lived in the Wei Mansion that day.

Sighing, thinking of this, the boy's nimble cat eyes were stained with worry, and he pushed open the carved wooden door in front of him, and the servant that Mrs. Wei sent to him stood outside the door anxiously.

Seeing that the person finally came out, he let out a long sigh of relief, "Master, if you don't come out, Madam should come in person!"

The person in front of him is Ah Qing, who is currently in charge of serving him personally. He straightened his heavy clothes and combed his hair meticulously. Wang Weizhi's expression was a little awkward. He has been in Wei Mansion for three days, and everyone in the mansion treats him very respectfully. He was very uncomfortable because he was used to being undisciplined, and he was a little guilty, so he avoided it whenever he could in the mansion.

But today is the day when the Wei family will cleanse him up. One is to announce the return of the only son of the Wei family to the world, and the other is to let him show his face in front of these aristocratic families in the capital.

This time it was inevitable, Wang Weizhi could only go forward, "Let's go, go now."

Before the two of them reached the front hall, the voices of loud voices came, people thanking, congratulating, and polite. For a while, Wang Weizhi hesitated.

Seeing him standing at the door and not going in, Ah Qing called out suspiciously, "Master?"

The boy came back to his senses with a complicated expression on his face. Is there any room for him to regret it at this moment?Of course not, the guests in the front hall are all waiting to see the young Marquis of the Wei family, if he doesn't go, it will be a shame to the entire capital family, Marquis Wei and Madam Wei.

"I-I'm just a little nervous."

Ah Qing came over, adjusted the corners of his clothes again, and said with a smile: "Master, did you memorize the list of children from the aristocratic family that Madam gave me a few days ago?"

Wang Weizhi nodded.

Ah Qing smoothed out the last wrinkle, "Then go in."

Wang Weizhi swallowed his saliva and walked in. He used to be in Qingshan Town, and his father was the most powerful official in the town. He was a respectable person, and he had attended many banquets.

But when Wang Weizhi stepped in, he was still shocked. The banquet in the Houye Mansion in the capital was indeed more luxurious than the best banquet he had ever attended.

The number of seats opened was twice as many. There were delicacies from mountains and seas on the table, some delicacies, some of which he had never seen before, and the most eye-catching ones were of course the people seated in the table. Dressed extravagantly, it's no wonder his father would be tempted, it's nothing like his little Qingshan town official title.

As soon as he stepped in like this, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone wanted to see what kind of character this wandering only son of the Wei family was. Countless eyes focused on him.

Even if Wang Weizhi had seen the world, he seemed a little cramped under the gaze of everyone, let alone being the focus of such a luxurious banquet, his fair and slightly round face showed a blush, and his round cat eyes A nervous look leaked out.

Wang Weizhi is not afraid of being the focus of the audience, but it does not mean that he likes to be looked at by others. These stares will make him feel uneasy, not to mention that he is still a counterfeit. Fortunately, a moment later, a woman with a slightly arrogant expression walked away. He came over, took Wang Weizhi's arm, and led him to the chairman's seat.

"Mother." Wang Weizhi called out this address in an awkward low voice, and the woman's haughty expression softened immediately, she patted the young man's hand, and asked, "Do you know the list by heart?"

"I remember it well."

"That's good. Go to your father's side later and let him walk in front of your deceased children. It's considered a formal greeting to these people."

While speaking, Mrs. Wei had brought Wang Weizhi to the banquet to sit down, and he whispered to the well-looking man beside him: "Father."

Lord Wei Hou looked at him, his expression softened slightly, he responded lightly, and then raised his glass to start the banquet.

There was a plate of soft, smooth and glutinous pastries in front of him, Wang Weizhi sat in his seat and looked up secretly, thinking that this was even more delicious than the most famous pastry shop in their Qingshan Town.

But he knew that today's banquet was not really for him to eat, and sure enough, before he could pick up the chopsticks, a wine jug was stretched out in front of him, mixing some slightly.

"If you can't drink it, just act like it." Master Wei Hou urged, and stood up first holding the wine glass.

"Yes, father." Although Wang Weizhi couldn't bear such serious etiquette, he still nodded politely, and followed him out with a cup in his hand.

Looking at the amount of alcohol in the cup that just submerged the bottom of the cup, Wang Weizhi said silently in his heart, he has a reputation in Qingshan Town of never pouring a thousand cups, even if he drank all of them down today, he might not be drunk, but this He would only say it if he was stupid.

Their table was the chairman's seat. Apart from Lord Wei and Mrs. Wei, there were also many prominent dignitaries and nobles, and even a few children of the royal family.

Lord Wei Hou led him to a young man who looked very young.

With a respectful attitude, "Greetings to the Sixth Prince."

Wang Weizhi was startled, the person in front of him was actually the prince?Although he had already prepared in his heart, when he really stood in front of a royal family, Wang Weizhi still felt at a loss.

The young man looked very modest, about sixteen or seventeen years old, raised a glass to drink with Wei Hou Ye, then looked over curiously, with curiosity and scrutiny in his slightly long eyes.

"This is Lord Wei Xiaohou?"

Wei Hou Ye changed his correct expression, and laughed, "It's the dog." After speaking, he made room for Wang Weizhi and motioned him to come forward.

At this time, Wang Weizhi didn't care about being dazed, and hurriedly brought out the rules he had learned a few days ago, and respectfully toasted the sixth prince, "Greetings to the sixth prince."

The young man blinked his eyes and looked at him without avoiding it, making Wang Weizhi's hair stand on end, and then replied without thinking, "I didn't expect Wei Xiaohou to be so cute."

Call him cute in front of so many people?Wang Weizhi felt embarrassed, and thought that these six princes were really outspoken.

But it seems that everyone is used to him talking like this, but a well-dressed adult on the side jokingly said: "Wei Houye just found his only son, and now even the sixth prince has come to the Wei Mansion, it can be said that it is the most important thing in the current capital." The happiest person!"

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it!" Although Lord Wei Hou said this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and he came and went with the wine glass, and then led Wang Weizhi to the next table.

The two went around side by side. Although Wang Weizhi had memorized the names of the children of various families in the capital, he still felt a little dizzy after going through the list, as the name was wrong.

Moreover, he didn't eat for a day, but he just felt hungry. In his empty stomach, he only filled a few glasses of cold wine, and his chest stuck to his back when he was not hungry. Fortunately, there were not many tables left.

Wang Weizhi looked back at the tables in the corner, trying to match the people with the names in his memory, but when he turned his head, he met a pair of smiling fox eyes.

There was a big table in the far corner, and there were a few guests sitting here and there. Judging from their attire, they could only be regarded as good, and the owner of the fox eyes was sitting on the side with a smile, holding a glass of wine and drinking to himself. What's strange is that there are two seats next to him, but no one is sitting.

The man looked to be in his twenties, his face was like a crown of jade, his appearance was dignified, his brows and eyes were full of smiles, and there was a dimple on the left side of his face, which seemed to overflow with soft ripples. White jade hairpin, fringed sleeves fluttering like clouds and smoke with the movement, and a folding paper fan at hand, dressed in a very coquettish manner.

The white jade wine glass was pinched on the fingertips with well-defined joints, and he lifted the glass slightly, smiling even more, a gleam of light appeared in the fox's eyes, and the whole look was unexpectedly handsome and extraordinary, like a banished fairy.

Wang Weizhi was stunned for a moment. In that small Qingshan Town, when had he ever seen such an amazing person? For a moment, he felt his eyes straighten and his heart beat faster.

He only came back to his senses after Lord Wei Hou called him a few times.

The two turned around again, and under Wang Weizhi's frequent sneak peeks, they finally turned to this table. He went through the lists of children from various families in the capital in his mind, and it seemed that there was no one with the right number, but he was wearing , should also be a person with face.

While he was wondering, he finally turned to this person. Wang Weizhi eagerly waited for Wei Houye to introduce him. Unexpectedly, Wei Houye just raised his glass politely and led him straight to the chairman's seat.

Wang Wei was stunned, no matter what the other party's family status or background was, he had respected each other along the way, why did he just skip this person in front of him?

He was holding the cup and hesitating whether to speak, the young man seemed to be aware of it, and raised his eyes to look at him with a smile, a dimple was looming, and asked in a very clear voice with a smile: "Is there something else for Wei Xiaohou? Is it okay to ask for a drink next time?"

The other party opened and closed his ruddy lips, which were really pretty, with some wine stains on them, and his smiling face was even more eye-catching. Wang Weizhi blushed for a moment, and didn't know how to answer the words.

But Master Wei Hou frowned, stood in front and urged: "Son, come here."

Wang Weizhi didn't dare to delay, so he had to raise his glass to this man, signaling him to drink whatever he wanted, watching the man put the glass to his lips with a smile, Wang Weizhi took the glass and left.

Returning to the chair, he wanted to ask Ah Qing about it, but Ah Qing had already followed him to the servant's room. Looking at Wei Hou Ye's attitude, he seemed to be secretive about this person's identity. Wang Weizhi felt that he should ask in private later. .

Sitting at the table, the sweet and greasy aroma of the soft and glutinous pastry pierced his nose, and immediately aroused the greed that he had suppressed just now.

He glanced at the man who was drinking by himself, and sighed in his heart at the man's astonishing appearance, while quietly stretching his chopsticks towards the soft cake in front of him.
