After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 224 Anle Marquis Mansion

"Zhu Yi, is Ning'an Hou really coming? Are you lying to us?"

"Marquis Ning'an doesn't have time to attend a banquet like ours now."

"That's right, Zhu Yi, you don't think that just by building a road in Jiangnan, you can really become friends with Ning'an Hou, right?"

"What kind of person is Ning'an Hou, and what are you?"

"Zhu Yi, we've been acting out of tune for so many years. Could it be that a trip to Jiangnan has completely changed your character?"

"..."

In the Anle Marquis Mansion, a group of young men from aristocratic families spoke to Zhu Yi.

This banquet was organized by the Prince of Anle Marquis, where people gathered around the fire and made tea.

The sons of dukes and marquises in the capital were specially invited, but most of them were like them and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

Generally, young men with real talents and knowledge would not participate in their banquets. Those who attended out of respect were the youngest sons in the family, who did not have the burden of the family or the burden of inheriting a title.

Every family in the capital city would hold a banquet during festivals. Regardless of whether the invited guests would attend or not, invitations would always be sent out.

In previous years, the banquets held by the Anle Marquisate were attended by not only the family friends but also Zhu Yi's good friends and those small families who wanted to get close to the Anke Marquisate.

But this year, the back garden of Anle Marquis's house was full of people.

It was all because they heard that Marquis Ning'an would also attend the banquet at Marquis Anle's Mansion.

Therefore, almost everyone who received an invitation from the Anle Marquis Mansion came.

The young men were all about the same age as Zhu Yi. When Zhu Yi and his companions went to the south of the Yangtze River, they were praised by Emperor Jing, but they were scolded a lot.

Today they finally have the opportunity to have close contact with Ning An Hou, and they must come and see it with their own eyes.

Moreover, if Zhu Yi and others really get in touch with Ning Anhou, then they will be in a completely different situation.

However, the banquet was about to begin and the seats were almost full, but Shen Tang still hadn't shown up.

Everyone present was young and lacked patience. They couldn't help but wonder whether Ning Anhou would really come.

Or is it just fake news released by Anle Marquis Mansion to attract attention?

"Hmph, Ning Anhou will definitely come. Since she has agreed, she will definitely come back. You just wait."

Ke Gaoyuan couldn't help but retort.

As the host, Zhu Yi naturally cannot speak out, but they can.

After all, they were all friends who had built the road together. Questioning Zhu Yi was the same as questioning them.

Their easiness with Ning Anhou is beyond doubt!

"Are you envious of our acquaintance and friendship with Ning Anhou?"

"Listen to what you're saying. Your purpose is too obvious, isn't it? Didn't you come to this banquet today because you heard that Ning Anhou would be coming?"

"When Ning Anhou comes, I hope you will be like this now."

Qiu Zhixue and Wei Ming were not willing to be outdone and hurried to help their friend fight back.

"So what? Ning An Hou is a man of extraordinary talent. I admire him, so what?"

"Then I'm really flattered."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he heard a clear and laughing female voice coming from behind him.

Everyone turned to look and saw the girl walking in from outside the yard. Perhaps the sunlight favored her a little, and when it fell on Shen Tang, it was as if he was covered with soft light.

He has clear features and a natural aura. He has a cold appearance, but with a smile he appears even more gentle.

A pair of eyes, clean and clear.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. No one had ever said that Marquis Ning'an was so handsome!

Who said that Ning Anhou was a rough man who only knew how to farm and raise fish, and had a rustic air!

"You're all here now. Did I miscalculate the time and come late?"

"Not late, not late, they haven't even arrived yet! They came early."

As the host, Zhu Yi walked up to Shen Tang and spoke without caring about the expressions of the others present.

Sure enough, after hearing this, many people present blushed.

"This is Thirteen Spices. My mother knew we were coming to your house, so she asked me to bring it to you. There are some for you guys too. They're in the carriage. I'll give them to you after the banquet."

Shen Tang spoke to Zhu Yi, Qiu Zhixue and others.

Luzhu handed the box to Zhu Yi.

"It's amazing that Auntie still remembers us."

Wei Ming couldn't help but sigh, his words revealing unconcealed pride.

"Thank you, Auntie. I will definitely come to visit you someday!"

The other two people echoed him.

"Send these thirteen spices to the kitchen and have the chef use them. We are all guests here today, so why not try some of my aunt's secret spices together."

Zhu Yi spoke loudly to the servant who was receiving the spices.

After he finished speaking, his eyes paused for a moment among the few people who had just questioned him, and he turned his head proudly.

"Shen Tang, I'll make tea for you myself later!"

They may not be good at other things, but they are quite good at eating, drinking, having fun, and tasting tea and wine.

After everyone sat down, Zhu Yi raised his hand and music started.

Although it is winter, the silver charcoal is sufficient and I don’t feel cold even when I am outdoors.

This Marquis of Anle truly lives up to his title.

The Marquis of Anle, who was not at the center of power, lived such a luxurious life, let alone other higher-ranking dukes.

After everyone sat down, before Zhu Yi introduced everyone to Shen Tang, some people could no longer hold back and took the initiative to step forward.

"My name is Li Dingyuan, nice to meet the Marquis of Ning'an. My father is the Divine Martial General!

I have long heard of the great name of Ning'an Hou, and today I finally get to see him."

Shen Tang cupped his hands:

"Master Li."

"Marquis Ning'an is indeed extraordinary—"

"My name is Wang Quan'an, nice to meet the Marquis of Ning'an. My father is—"

Li Dingyuan was interrupted before he could finish his words and was pushed away.

Wang Quanan ignored Li Dingyuan's stabbing look, put on a smile, and spoke to Shen Tang.

"Prince."

Shen Tang also bowed to the person in front of him.

"Greetings to the Marquis of Ning'an, I..."

"Down here..."

Seeing this, the others crowded forward and greeted Shen Tang.

This female marquis is different, she is very approachable.

Seeing more and more people gathering around him, Shen Tang's handsome brows frowned slightly. This group of young people were really too enthusiastic.

"Hey, hey, hey, all of you, get out of the way and stop pushing!"

Ke Gaoyuan and the fat boy Wei Ming squeezed in front of Shen Tang and stopped the others.

These people didn't say this when Shen Tang came.

Didn’t they hear them whispering that Marquis Ning’an was a vulgar woman and smelled of dirt?

"The capital city is indeed different from Jiangnan. Everyone is so welcoming."

Looking at the two people blocking Shen Tang's way, everyone's eyes were filled with resentment.

They haven't even introduced themselves yet, how could Marquis Ning'an remember them?

Zhu Yi looked at this group of enthusiastic people and sneered in his heart.

The tea soup is curling and the string music is soft and melodious.

Before Shen Tang could even begin to enjoy the banquet, a servant knocked over his teacup, soaking his clothes.
