The three days passed quickly, and on this evening, the rare traffic in front of the General's Mansion of the Right Army Division was very lively. Almost all the famous people in Xiangyang City received Xu Shu's invitation and came to attend his birthday banquet. Before the banquet began, Xu Shu's mansion was already full of high-ranking friends.

Liu Yan knew that the teacher had always liked to be quiet, and there were basically no entertainment facilities at home, so she specially found a team of Kabuki and sent them to the General's Mansion, and also packed and sent several cooks from the Princess's Mansion and dozens of servants and subordinates together.

Officially on this day, Liu Yan is still wearing a dark curl and a dark silk curtain, the only difference is that she has a bright red purse around her waist.

Before getting into the car, she also checked her outfit repeatedly, and only after repeatedly confirming that there was no problem did she board the car, and the ox cart slowly headed towards the general's mansion. Sitting in the car, Liu Yan reached into her arms, took out a bag, opened the bag, took out the objects inside, and looked at it carefully.

It turned out that this was the gift she prepared for Xu Shu, one of the treasures that Gan Ning robbed from Master Qiao's house, a pair of mutton fat white jade wrenches. This pair of wrenches is made of high-quality materials, shiny throughout, and heavy and smooth to start. Liu Yan fell in love with them at a glance among all the treasures sent in.

This time, Xu Shu held a birthday banquet, and things were in a hurry. Liu Yan thought about it, and it was more appropriate to take them out as a congratulatory gift. All of them temporarily sewed a bag of tips, packaged the pair of wrenches, and prepared to give it to the teacher in person to show their sincerity.

Although the teacher once broke her heart, but if you think about it carefully, it was also difficult for her to be strong. The teacher said that it was not a day or two that he would not marry a wife, and it was his wishful thinking that he ran up and asked to marry him, and it was reasonable for him not to allow it. Therefore, long after the incident, Liu Yan was actually content with the status quo, and her complaint against Xu Shu was not as deep as it was at the beginning. It's just that there are still a lot of embarrassments when they meet, and I don't know how to say it.

Today, taking the opportunity of the teacher's birthday banquet, Liu Yan wanted to try to see if she could repair the relationship with the teacher. I don't expect to be able to go back to the time when I was in Changsha, I just want to be able to sit down and talk calmly.

Thinking so, Liu Yan hoped that the car could be slower, slower, so that she could be fully prepared, and think about what to say in the first sentence and how to pick up the second sentence. It seems like it's been a long time since I've talked to my teacher about anything other than business. All even the opening remarks must be carefully considered and there must be no mistakes.

Originally, the ox cart was slower, and Liu Yan was even slower, but it turned out that all the guests had almost arrived, and Liu Yan was still dangling on the road. Xu Shu stood at the door to greet the visitors, and picked up wave after wave, but he didn't see the apprentice. When the little maid inside came out and reported that all the guests on the invitation had arrived, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was missing, Xu Shu sighed or sighed, this was deliberate, and she finally knew how to put it on the shelf. But he couldn't be happy at all!

The sound of singing and dancing in the hall was very lively, but he, the host, would rather stand at the door than go in to join in the fun. Fortunately, everyone present knew the real purpose of holding this birthday banquet, so no one cared about the absence of Xu Shu, the main master.

When Liu Yan arrived at her destination, she saw that on the tall lintel of the General's Mansion, a red lantern was specially hung today. She got out of the car with a smile on her face and walked over with Yaoqin's support. The sharp-eyed little guy shouted loudly: "The eldest princess of Yiyang has arrived!"

This call startled Xu Shu into a clever way, and he hurriedly stepped out of the threshold to meet him: "Her Royal Highness the princess is coming, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will forgive her sins!"

"Today is your birthday, how dare you greet you, Yiyang is late, you should apologize!" said and gave Xu Shu a salute outside. Where did Xu Shu dare to accept her salute, and shook his hands at the moment: "Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, Your Highness, please enter the main hall and take a seat!"

"You first, please!" Liu Yan bowed and made a very respectful appearance. Xu Shu saw it in her eyes and sighed in her heart, the more polite she was, the more alienated she was in her bones, and she might not want to come to me at this time! If it weren't for Zhang Song's business, I'm afraid she would have thought about it a long time ago and never come to my door again! To do this level as a master and apprentice, it can be regarded as the only one without a semicolon, Xu Shu thought sadly.

Liu Yan didn't know what the teacher was thinking, she followed the teacher into the main hall, and when everyone in the hall saw her coming, they all stood up and lowered their hands to greet her. waited for Liu Yan to sit on the main seat. Fang Cai motioned for everyone to sit down again: "I'm really happy today, so many people have come to attend the teacher's birthday banquet, today's banquet is all my filial piety to the teacher, the more you eat and drink, the happier I am! Especially today we also have a special guest, Mr. Zhang from Shuzhong......" Speaking of this, she deliberately glanced in the direction of Zhang Song: "You can come today, which can be regarded as giving me and the teacher a great face." All of you here will toast Mr. Zhang for me a few more times!"

Zhang Song hurriedly got up: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Zhang has a heart, Zhang is too strong to drink, and he can't drink more." Her Royal Highness the Princess, please take a clear look. ”

"I've already seen that of all the people here today, only I can say that I am not strong enough to drink. Who else dares to say that you are not strong enough to drink? After a while, the big guys will go together, each of them will have a drink, and they will drink until they get drunk! Today is the teacher's birthday, and it is a good day, so you should drink a little wine, and you are in a good mood!" Liu Yan smiled and rejected Zhang Songqing's request for "immunity." Just kidding, today's protagonist is how are you? I'm going to correct you on the spot! You can drink, and I still have to worry about whether General Huang Lao can drink you, and it's not just right that you can't drink!

Zhang Song was speechless, sat down silently, thinking in his heart that the little girl who is in charge of the house is really easy for people to go crazy, and this person is really crazy!

Seeing that Zhang Song was no longer talking, Liu Yan slapped the table: "Serve the wine and food! The drums will be played! Singing, dancing, singing, dancing!" With her words, the servants in the main hall began to get busy. A jar of fine wine was brought up, and the same side dishes were served. Kabuki returns to the stage to perform enchanting dances. The musicians have their own duties to score the music. The scene suddenly became lively.

Liu Yan was happy while watching, and the chopsticks in her hand did not stop, peeking at the situation on Zhang Song's side while eating and drinking. At the beginning, everyone was hesitant about who should take the lead, and the first one stepped forward to toast, but they hesitated and couldn't make a decision. Seeing that Liu Yan's eyebrows were furrowed, she just wanted to end the game herself, but Xu Shu, who was sitting next to her, stood up with a wine glass and walked to Zhang Song in a hurry. Seeing this, Zhang Song hurriedly got up and took the wine glass, and even said that he didn't dare.

Xu Shu is the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, how can he work to toast himself? Zhang Songcheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to slack off, as soon as Xu Shu raised his wine glass, he drank up the wine in his hand, and while still saying: "Feel free and casual!" Seeing this, of course, Xu Shu was not casual, and raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.

On the side, Huang Zhong had been struggling with the steps that did not play, and now when he saw Xu Shu sending the steps to his feet, of course he was not polite, and got up and laughed: "Mr. Zhang is polite, this is not enough to drink, it must be just a pretext." Come on, come on, old man toast you!"

As soon as Zhang Song heard this voice, he was full of cleverness. When I looked up, I saw Huang Zhong with white hair. I watched him appear during the performance that day, and I didn't have much close contact, but today he smiled heartily, Zhang Song only felt that the goosebumps all over his body stood up and danced. Then the old man is a good group of Zhongqi! This person looks like he's going to be sixty or seventy at first glance! He can still have such a good Zhongqi, such a great body, and still be able to dance on a horse and move a knife, it's really rare, he toasted himself, and he had to do it anyway.

So, Zhang Song didn't hesitate to make a big cup, Huang Zhong couldn't help nodding when he saw this, even if he couldn't drink it, he had to give a full number of courtesies, this Zhang Song was really a righteous person. Huang Zhong had a preliminary impression of him.

So what followed was the tragedy of Zhang Song, and the officials in Jingzhou stood up one after another at Liu Yan's signal to persuade Zhang Song to drink, and the reasons they said were even more bizarre, and Zhang Song could not be allowed to refuse.

One glass after another, one glass after another, no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, it can't stand so many people with the same goal, that is, to get him drunk. After a while, he was a little dizzy and saw things spinning around.

Seeing that the timing was about the same, Liu Yan pretended to order Zhang Song to be sent to the inner room to rest, but in fact, he arranged a temporary interrogation room for him alone, threw him in, and let Pang Tong interrogate him with Gan Ning, who came from afar.

Gan Ning is a native of Shu and can understand Shuzhong's words, so Liu Yan wrote to Gan Ning after deciding to extort a confession, asking him to hurry up and rush to Xiangyang within three days. It's not that I can't find other translators, it's that Liu Yan doesn't trust other translators. In case something is asked, it is always bad for outsiders to know, but for Gan Ning, Liu Yan is 100% trusted.

She would never know that when the news of her determination to stay alive and widow reached Jiangxia, Gan Ning also thundered and sighed. Now, after receiving her order, he was more active than anyone else, and he hurried to the defense without stopping. Even if it's just translation. He was also willing to be sent by her.

Inside, the prisoners were being interrogated, and outside they were singing and dancing as usual. Liu Yan rarely holds such banquets, so she tries her best every time she holds a banquet. Everyone was eating delicious food and humming a little song, and their hearts were full of joy. It's beautiful to think about this errand! Just be a foil, eat and drink well to complete the task, why not?

The little princess used to be thrifty when she was too guarded, and her life has always been clear soup and little water, and there are few social activities. But Xiangyang is not a small place like Changsha, it is one of the world's leading economic and cultural centers, and people here are accustomed to the life of drunken money, especially those who are from high families, and they like to hold drinking parties or tea parties to talk about business and make friends.
