105 Jujia Lu Wenyan
In the eyes of the old horse who wanted to kill, the north night still got into the carriage without waves in the end.
After all, although he knew that Zhong Wuyan would appear in the dry port, how he appeared, when he appeared, and where the specific location was, he still couldn't accurately determine it based on a rough outline.
Therefore, when Ye Wulang almost made it clear that Zhong Wuyan was where Lu Wenyan was, and expressed his willingness to give him a ride, he naturally would not refuse.
And to be honest, he doesn't even know where Lu Wenyan lives, and it's great to have someone who is willing to lead the way.
Yes, Lu Wenyan is another person who is not in the original setting, in the past three years, people like this who are outside the original plot and now participate in the plot, he has encountered too many people, and he has long been surprised.
On the way to visit Lu Wenyan by car with Ye Wulang, Ye Wulang briefly introduced the character of Lu Wenyan to Beiye.
Lu Wenyan, who was originally the prince of a small country called Zhao Wuguo in the south of Tianqian Kingdom, retired after helping his royal brother win the throne and joined the merchants, and was very famous in Zhao Wuguo's business and social circles.
Lu Wenyan relied on the jewelry reward he received from the imperial brother when he was the prince as the capital, contracted several major coal mountains in Zhao Wuguo, started with coal mines, and gradually got involved in other industries. Medicinal materials, is the largest bulk grain supplier of the Wind Thunder Heng Country, controlling most of the grain markets and a large number of fields in the Wind Thunder Heng Country, the Lord of the Wind and Thunder Country is also inseparable from him, and occasionally asks him for advice when he encounters any difficult things, and takes a look at his opinions.
"So such a talented character, if he wants to kill someone, I'm afraid that there are many capable people below who will compete to help him, how can he still agree to your request?" asked Bei Ye quite puzzled.
"Because he wants to kill people, others can't kill them, only I can do it. Ye Wulang said lightly, "But you don't need to ask who he wants to kill, this is also my business secret, you just need to follow me to his mansion with peace of mind, and then wait patiently for your target to appear." β
Seeing that Ye Wulang didn't want to talk more, Bei Ye didn't continue to ask, and then chatted casually about other things for a while, learned about each other's experiences in the past three years, and it was a small exchange of information, so they were pulled all the way to Lu Mansion by the old horse.
Lu Wenyan's mansion is located in the central area of the dry port, almost occupying most of the atrium avenue, the courtyard is dotted with stars, pavilions and pavilions are scattered, the corridor waist is back to the eaves and the teeth are high pecked, during the period the servants go up and down, roughly looking, in addition to the guards stationed outside the courtyard, there are hundreds of servants and maids dressed in servants.
By the time their car arrived in the northern night, the front of the Lu Mansion was already crowded with carriages and horses, and the voices of people were full of people, and the busy people were coming in and out, compared with the cold and lonely path that Fang Beiye had walked on, it seemed to be another world.
The whole courtyard is full of lights, the tall courtyard gate is hung with a big red lantern, posted with a variety of festive paper-cuts, as if the festival is in general, outside the courtyard gate is to use a wooden frame to build a very exaggerated and heroic big dragon gate, a red carpet under the dragon gate has been spread out to the courtyard and there is no end in sight, the people who visit are so casually stepping on the red carpet into the courtyard gate, no one seems to see that this seemingly gorgeous blanket under their feet is woven by the fire fox skin that is worth a thousand gold in just one inch!
However, from the faces of these people, Beiye could see that they did not know the preciousness of the fur under their feet, but they had already seen it at all, but they stubbornly hid this shock in their hearts, pretending not to care, to show that they were not people who had never seen the world.
"So it's so lively here on weekdays?" asked Kita.
"Lu Wenyan is a well-known wealthy businessman here, and the house is full of customers, and it is very lively on weekdays, but today is indeed more special. "Today is Lu Wenyan's fiftieth birthday, and he has invited all the dignitaries, scholars, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen and gentry from nearby countries, so it will naturally be much more lively than usual." β
"That's right. Beiye looked at the lively scene and thought thoughtfully.
Will Zhong Wuyan really be here?
Just when the north night was still thinking, the greeter of the Lu Mansion hurriedly greeted him, and after learning that it was Lu Wenyan who had specially explained that Ye Wulang had visited, he hurriedly took the two to the hall, nodding his head along the way, very respectful.
In the bamboo forest on both sides of the corridor in the bamboo band playing melodious tunes, Lu Wenyan actually came forward in person to greet the two of Ye Wulang and Bei Ye in front of the hall. After listening to Ye Wulang's introduction to Beiye, Lu Wenyan kept looking Beiye up and down, with a strange brilliance in his eyes, and greeted him with great enthusiasm, but for a while, he left Ye Wulang aside.
Then with Lu Wenyan, you have the opportunity to come and go politely, and Beiye also took a general look at Lu Wenyan. Although he is already fifty years old, because of the good maintenance of the law, and the fact that he has also practiced some martial arts, Lu Wenyan looks like he is only in his thirties, and his face is white and red, and he is actually a little handsome. Although the sideburns combed on both sides have turned white, it also adds a bit of elegance to him, and it can be seen that he was also an extremely handsome and beautiful man when he was young.
At this time, Lu Wenyan was wearing a white fox with a black mink warm hat on his head, and a bright black ink stone pinned to the jade belt on his waist exposed from the front, flashing with a cold luster.
It can be said that Lu Wenyan, who appears in front of Beiye's eyes now, does not look like a pot-bellied businessman at all, but like a Confucian student, elegant and chic, and the jade tree is in the wind.
After thinking about Lu Wenyan's birthday with Ye Wulang in the north night, Lu Wenyan also returned with the gift of the landlord, and then led the two to the inner hall.
Passing through the hall and walking through the corridor, Lu Wenyan introduced the two of them into a small and exquisite living room, only to see that there were eight seats in the hall, divided into east and west, there was no main seat in the middle, and there were already six people sitting on it, looking at the three people of the North Night who walked in, looking at each other.
"It's the old man's negligence. Lu Wenyan confessed, "I originally thought that only Wulang Xiaoyou would come, but I didn't expect that the son of General Ye Wuming would also come to the cold house, but it seems that the old man's arrangement is inappropriate, Ye Gongzi will wait for a while, and the old man will let someone go and add a seat over." β
After saying that, Lu Wenyan turned around and left, while summoning the servants and ordering them to go down and add a seat, and at the same time to arrange the hospitality of which guests outside, and toast each other with them, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
The small living room is connected to the hall outside, but is separated by a few steps, and the splendid curtain in front of it completely separates the two sides.
Compared with the hall, the layout of the small living room is more exquisite, surrounded by statues of beautiful women carved from jade and gold, skillfully holding candles the thickness of children's arms, lighting the room as if it were day, and the four walls are embedded with multi-treasure grids, on which all kinds of rare jewels reflect the candlelight, shining.
Beiye took a closer look, and found that according to the arrangement of seats, the guests who came to congratulate Lu Wenyan on his birthday tonight could be roughly divided into three classes: the first class was these people in the small hall, in addition to himself and Ye Wulang, the other six people sitting were dressed in noble clothes and embroidered with various dragon patterns, but the shape of the dragon was different, some had five claws, some had seven falls, some had wings on their backs, and some had fangs, it seemed that they should all be princes from surrounding countries, maybe they were still princes, such distinguished top VIPs, no wonder Lu Wenyan would open a separate room and entertain in the small living roomγ
The second-class guests sit under the stairs outside the small living room, there are about fifty or sixty people, each of them is extraordinary, some of them have a high momentum, at a glance they are martial artists who have cultivated to a high level, and some people are graceful and suave, and their talents are exposed between their eyebrows. These guests were all sitting in the large living room, and they were taking turns to toast Lu Wenyan.
The third class is the general guests, most of this group of people are uninvited, in order to see Lu Wenyan paid a high entrance fee, but they can only sit in the square outside the big living room, a big shed on their heads covers the rain and snow, they sit in the banquet under the canopy, arch their hands towards Lu Wenyan from afar, there is basically no opportunity to greet them, they can only absent-mindedly enjoy the singing and dancing banquet prepared by Lu Fu for them in advance, and comfort themselves in their hearts that they have watched a very big performance.
Lu Wenyan walked through the hall under the escort of the guests, walked to the stage set up for the performance in the square, toasted a glass of wine to the third-class guests, signaled them to enjoy themselves, and walked back to the hall to toast one by one in countless congratulations and cheers, and accepted greetings and congratulations. After dozens of glasses of wine, it can be seen that Lu Wenyan is also quite uncomfortable, his face turns from red to blue, and the green tendons at the corners of his forehead are slightly convex, constantly beating.
After another round in the large living room, Lu Wenyan finally returned to the small living room, at this time, the servant had already set up the new Chapter 9 seat, only to see Lu Wenyan slowly sit down under the service of the concubine beside him, drink a cup of hot tea to temporarily relieve the alcohol, and the thick brocade curtain behind him slowly merged to the middle, closing the noise outside and the sound of singing, dancing and bamboo music all outside.
"Alright. Lu Wenyan said with a smile, "The old man is a businessman, and he is disturbed by the world, but he makes everyone laugh, and he punishes himself here to apologize." β
After that, Lu Wenyan picked up the wine that had been poured in front of him and drank it all.
