When Shao Yunan returned to Beijing, Guo Zimu was the happiest. Shao Yunan was not in the capital, so he was always a little lacking in confidence. As soon as Shao Yunan came back, he dared to go out without wearing a mask, but of course he had never done that before.

Guo Zimu, who ate the fish maw, also liked it a lot, and Shao Yunan was teaching him how to deal with the fish maw and how to get rid of the fishy smell.

At this time, the steward of the private restaurant walked in with a look of embarrassment: "Master, the steward of Lu Guogong's mansion is here and wants to book three tables at our 'Qing Yuan' tomorrow night, but we have all booked the tables within five days. Add three tables at once..."

Guo Zimu hadn't responded yet, and Shao Yunan was the first to be unhappy: "Don't they know the rules of the restaurant? They came to book a table in advance. Where do you want us to add a table for him? Did you cancel other reservations? Don't do business anymore."

The steward saw that Shao Yunan had spoken, and was even more embarrassed: "Yes, the sixth young master of Lu Guogong's mansion invited friends, this..."

Guo Zimu reminded: "Yun'an, the mansion of the Duke of Lu is your foreign home."

Sure enough, Shao Yunan had forgotten that his little father belonged to the Duke of Lu.

Shao Yunan is not familiar with his "grandfather" family, or is very unfamiliar. Although Su Chenyi is from the Duke of Lu, he is not a person who cares about his family. Otherwise, in his capacity, the low-key Dai family would not agree to Dai Mingrong and his marriage, Su Chenyi and Dai Mingrong said. Sounds like free love. Shao Yunan had only met with the people from the Duke of Lu's mansion on the day of the confession banquet, and had not had much contact with him after that. Although the people from Duke Lu's mansion had asked to meet him or have dinner several times, firstly Shao Yunan was very busy, and secondly, Su Chenyi knew that his son was impatient with these things, so they pushed him away, so he was very concerned about Duke Lu. Shao Yunan's feelings for the government are more unfamiliar. Perhaps the most important thing is that Su Chenyi's mother has passed away, and his father has also resumed his string, so Su Chenyi himself rarely has much contact with his family, which directly causes Shao Yunan to be less close to the Duke of Lu, but if he is not close, he will not be close, Shao Yunan. But he didn't hate the Duke of Lu's mansion, and he gave the Duke of Lu and his elders a lot of filial piety.

It's just that Shao Yunan was even more unhappy when he knew that the other party belonged to Duke Lu's mansion: "Who is this sixth young master?"

Guo Zimu replied faster than the steward: "It's the nephew of Duke Lu, the younger sister of Duke Lu, and the only son of your cousin. You are either cousin or cousin. He is about the same age as you."

The former Duke of Lu died young, and the current Duke of Lu is Su Chenyi's cousin, and Su Chenyi's father is the second uncle of Duke Lu. Among the original three Dukes, Duke Lu is the youngest, and he is the same generation as the original prince of Duke Ang's mansion. The former Duke of Lu had one main and two side rooms and several concubines and servants. The current Duke of Lu had one main and three side rooms and two concubines. Lu Guogong himself had three biological brothers, as well as his concubines and concubines. They all lived together, and together with the relatives of these brothers, there were more than 100 masters, large and small, in the whole house. The more powerful and powerful people in this society are, the more taboo they are to separate their families, which leads to the more aristocratic families and more people. Who can have such a population in modern society, just remembering people's names can make people dizzy.

Shao Yunan was confused: "Why is my cousin's only son from the Duke of Lu's mansion? Could it be that her husband is married?" This is rare. His aunt lived in the general's mansion for safety reasons, but his uncle had his own mansion.

The steward didn't understand what husband meant, so Guo Zimu replied calmly: "Mrs. Ru lives as a widow. It is said that Mrs. Su doted on this daughter very much. After her husband died, she took their mother and son back to the Duke of Lu's mansion. This letter from Ru is in He is the sixth oldest among the younger generation of the Duke of Lu, and everyone calls him Sixth Young Master."

Shao Yunan's eyes widened: "Brother Guo, why are you so clear?"

Guo Zimu raised his chin arrogantly: "How can you not clarify these relationships when you are doing business in the capital. I'm afraid you don't know the situation of the Duke of Lu's mansion yet." did not fall.

"Little brother admires!" Shao Yunan clasped his fists, he was really frightened, darling, it's really impressive to see you in three days! Brother Xiao Guo is amazing! Is this the power of love? ! Shao Yunan felt sick to himself.

Guo Zimu, who did not know Shao Yunan's inner activities, continued: "The face of this sixth young master cannot be refuted. He is very favored by Mrs. Su, and Duke Lu loves him very much. Even higher. Director Zhao, tell them that there is no way to do three tables, at most two tables."

Manager Zhao still had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Master, where should we put the two tables?"

Guo Zimu had no choice: "Just arrange it in the Mingyue Room."

When Zhao Guanshi heard this, he frowned: "Mingyuefang belongs to the prince..."

Guo Zimu: "Occasionally use it, the prince won't mind, I will tell him when I go back. Now only the 'Mingyue Room' and the 'Chengxiang Courtyard' have places, and the Chengxiang Courtyard must not be moved. But you must also talk to Duke Lu Guogong. The people in the government said that this time, it’s okay, and in the future, we still have to follow the rules.”

Guo Zimu was also a little uncomfortable, but after all, the Duke of Lu's mansion was Shao Yunan's foreign family, he must give this face, maybe the other party also thought of this, so he ignored the rules. If the prince or the prince were here, the matter of the county would be easier to handle. If they came forward, the other party would definitely retreat, but now only he and Yun An were present, and he did not show up, let alone let Yun An come forward, so So arrange it.

The Mingyue Room was reserved for Prince Murong's exclusive room. It was used by Prince Murong to entertain his own guests. The interior decoration was based on Prince Murong's preferences. Chengxiang Courtyard is the only independent courtyard of the private kitchen restaurant, which is reserved for the emperor and queen, Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang. If King Luo Rong entertains guests, he will also be in Chengxiangyuan. Guo Zimu originally planned to reserve a room for Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing, but Shao Yunan refused. The area of ​​"Qing Yuan" was originally not large. The Chengxiang Courtyard was rebuilt from the backyard. Apart from the necessary rooms such as the kitchen and Guo Zimu's office, only eleven rooms could be renovated. If Ishii keeps one, isn't that a waste of resources? They want to come to "Qing Yuan", just say hello in advance, the big deal is to use the bright moon room, there is no need to occupy another one.

When Guo Zimu arranged, Shao Yunan's face was pulled down. How could he not know the layout of the private restaurant. He could also guess why the other party would have such a rude request.

"Wait." Stopping Director Zhao who was about to go out, Shao Yunan said with a stern face: "Tell the person that the table is full in five days. If you want to treat guests, you have to go to another place, or you can only wait for five days, then say it's me. said."

Guo Zimu was his brother and his family, so the Sixth Young Master, who he didn't even remember what he looked like, was just a stranger. There is no reason to help a stranger embarrass your own family. What about the grandfather's family? Grandpa and grandma have met once, and it has nothing to do with Ru Shuhan, and he has not even said a few words to other people. He will explain from the little father, he believes that the little father will understand,

"Yun'an." Guo Zimu saw that Shao Yunan was unhappy, and said comfortably, "It's okay. This is my own family, so I'll go to Mingyue Room."

Shao Yunan: "Whoever talks to his own family will not make such rude demands. Has my aunt's child ever been like this?" Tomorrow night, he didn't even ask if there were any free tables, it was his own. Store, Shao Yunan dared to blast him out.

Of course Guo Zimu knew about Shao Yunan's maintenance of himself, but he still advised Shao Yunan to forget it, and Shao Yunan would not let him. "The young master of the Duke of Lu's mansion is only a foreign surname and asks you to vacate three tables for him. What about the other young masters of the Duke of Lu's mansion. If there is one, there will be two. This precedent cannot be set, let alone let them take my and yours. Friendship is full of face, and if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. Manager Zhao, let them follow the rules and say it’s me.”

Seeing that Shao Yunan's fire had come up, Guo Zimu waved his hand, and Director Zhao hurriedly left. Wang Shaozhengjun's anger is not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Don't be angry." Guo Zimu took off his mask and saw his "beautiful" face, Shao Yunan lost his anger, picked up the mask and put it on him again: "Don't try to seduce me, I He is absolutely loyal to my brother Jing."

"Go to hell!" Guo Zimu gave him a kick.

It was Wang Shaozhengjun who refused to give face even if he wanted to, and the steward who came to the Duke of Lu's mansion left with a livid expression. He can already imagine the reaction that this incident will attract in the capital. Wang Shaozhengjun didn't even give the face of the Duke of Lu, he was simply too angry! Could it be that he doesn't even care that the Duke of Lu's mansion is his foreign family?

After a while, Director Zhao came again, holding a thick bag of greetings in his hand: "Master, Wang Shaozhengjun, the people from the Duke's Mansion of Lu are gone, but their faces are not very good."

Shao Yun'an: "Don't worry about them. If you have the ability, they will ask Lu Guogong to come to me."

Manager Zhao then handed out the greeting note in his hand: "Wang Shaozhengjun, there are many people outside who want to see you, this is the greeting note."

"Why did you send the post here?"

Guo Zimu said clearly: "You are in the palace all day, and it is not easy to see you. I guess you will be targeted as soon as you leave the palace."

Shao Yunan looked at Guo Zimu with novelty, the change of Brother Guo is really, too big! But he didn't understand, why is Brother Guo so shy every time in front of the queen? Shao Yunan dared to be no big or small with the queen, but she didn't know how terrifying the queen's aura was to others.

Shao Yunan read the post with no interest, and he avoided getting too involved with the wealthy families in the capital. The background of his family's general's mansion is deep enough, and his own family is a marquis, plus a thousand-year-old uncle, if he is good at dancing among the wealthy families in the capital, it will not be of much benefit to the Zhongyong Hou's Mansion and the General's Mansion. His family, Wang Shijing, didn't want to monopolize the power or anything, and these entertainment and communication can still be pushed.

There are wealthy families and some merchants in these invitations. There are those from the Das country, the Xianlu country, and the Dashan tribe. Dashan tribe?

Shao Yunan picked up a post from the Dashan tribe. He had a good impression of the Dashan tribe. How could he be rescued by the Dashan tribe, and the merchants of the Dashan tribe were very cooperative during the auction.

The post was sent by a man named Wuxi, who was a businessman from the Dashan tribe in terms of content. However, since he can send a greeting card, presumably this person has a high status in the Dashan tribe and has a big business, and those small families do not dare to send him a greeting card easily.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Guo, have you heard of this stingy Dashan tribe merchant?"

Guo Zimu immediately replied: "This man is quite rich. Zai Qingyuan has eaten several times, and he has a great background. The prince has mentioned him."

Shao Yunan handed the invitation to Director Zhao: "Noon the day after tomorrow, or here." After speaking, he turned his head, Guo Zimu said without waiting for him to speak, "I will vacate the Mingyue Room for you at noon the day after tomorrow."

"Okay."

In the Mansion of the State of Lu, a young man who looked not much older than Shao Yunan was complaining with a sad face to the grandfather of the State of Lu, the biological mother of the State of Lu, the first-ranked wife, Mrs. Su. This young man, with red lips and white teeth, looks like the most standard handsome young man of the current Dayan people. This is also one of the reasons why he can be loved by his ancestors as a foreigner in the Duke of Lu's mansion, because he not only has a sweet mouth and is popular with people, but also has a cute appearance.

"Grandmother, what should I do? My grandson said it's fine. How could I know that cousin Yun An is so disrespectful. How can my grandson go to see his classmates?"

Mrs. Su was a little unhappy. After all, Yun An was her own family. How could she refuse without saying a word. Besides, the head of Qing Yuan was the Junzheng Jun of King Luo Rong, not Yun An. And Mrs. Su was unhappy for another reason, but she couldn't say it, and she didn't dare to say it.

Mrs. Su was unhappy, but she still had a kind expression on her face, and said, "Since Qingyuan said that you need to book at least five days in advance, I'm afraid that you really can't make a table. Since you are going to Qingyuan, why don't you go earlier? order?"

Ru Shuhan also said helplessly: "It was just decided today. This grandson's article was praised by the master today. He Wei said that everyone would gather together, and it happened to be He Wei's birthday tomorrow, and He Wei said to choose a day. It's better to hit the sun and start tomorrow. He Wei's kindness in Qingyuan celebrates his grandson, and his grandson is grateful. He Wei said that Qingyuan's seat is not easy to book, although his family has some money, but there is no way, this is not The grandson thought that Wang Zhengjun would give the grandson a face, how could he know that the cousin rejected it."

Mrs. Su couldn't help but focus on He Wei's purpose, but her grandson has always been simple-minded, and she didn't want him to be troubled. Mrs. Su didn't want to see her grandson so distressed. After all, it was indeed a loss of face for her grandson. Mrs. Su said, "Well, grandmother wants your eldest brother to go again."

Ru Shuhan's expression suddenly became lonely, and he lowered his head: "Could it be that my cousin doesn't like me, that's why..."

Mrs. Su felt distressed and held his hand: "Don't think about it. You are the young master of the Duke of Lu, who would dare not like you?"

Ru Shuhan said aggrieved: "I'm not Su."

This time, Mrs. Su felt even more distressed. She couldn't help complaining about Shao Yunan even more, and her tone became tougher: "It's just three tables, even if you cover the whole of your wishes, Yunan should also give this face." Mrs. Su Said to the big girl next to her: "Go and call the eldest wife."

"Yes."

Ru Shuhan hugged Mrs. Su and said, "Grandmother, my cousin won't be angry."

"You are his cousin, and he should have helped you. Don't worry, if he is so petty, grandmother will come forward in person."

Ru Shuhan smiled and hugged Mrs. Su: "Grandma, I know you love me the most."

After coaxing Mrs. Su until she was tired of laughing, Ru Shuhan went to see her mother. When Mrs. Ru Su Linrong saw him coming back, she first greeted the maids to bring tea and snacks, and then asked the maids to retreat. She took Ru Shuhan's hand and asked, "Shuhan, mother heard that you had a conflict with Shao Yunan?"

"No, he ignored me." Ru Shuhan looked angry, told his mother about the matter, and then said: "However, I am his cousin, even if I am not close, I shouldn't refute my face like this. Sister. What they said was right, our Mrs. Marquis didn't take our Duke Lu's mansion to heart at all, otherwise, Xian Shui would not have thought of grandmother at all."

Mrs. Ru said sadly: "He doesn't take the Duke of Lu's mansion in his heart, so how can he not take our mother and wife in his heart. He is the young master of the Dai family, and the queen loves him. Who are we? It's just an orphan and a widowed mother."

Ru Shuhan instantly raised her voice and shouted: "Why don't you change my surname to Su? No matter how favored I am in this country's government, I'm just a foreigner!"
