Chapter 167: Zhao Qian, it's not fate between us
Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, invited Sakata Yinshi and Kobayashi Koichi to the banquet today in line with the attitude of meeting the in-laws, hoping to be able to set the matter of Xu Yunfeng and Zheng Tuo during the banquet, sometimes, the grievances between the fathers may not be cared about by the parents, but the next generation's dedication to this will continue for a whole life, and even become the ultimate goal of life, or some kind of life theme.
The next generation lives in dire straits, and spends their lives thinking about a simple and simple goal, which is understandable in human ethics, but does the true meaning of life really lie in these? Xu Xiao couldn't find the answer himself, and he couldn't give advice to others, so the sentence still echoed in his heart from time to time: Kill the Zhao family.
At the banquet, Xu Xiao will bow his head, will let go of his identity as the king of Xiliang, and will use all methods to fight for a glimmer of "vitality" for Xu Yunfeng, but he will not irresponsibly say to Zheng Tuo, "If the girl can't solve the knot, then just take the name of this king."
But Zheng Tuo didn't appear at all, from the beginning of the banquet, to the middle of the banquet, until near the end, the little maid always said that Miss Zheng was dressing up, and she would arrive soon.
Xu Yunfeng couldn't sit still, the outside of the hall was already ready, the cheesy firecrackers, the cheesy suona, and the cheesy big red happy words, he wanted to express his determination to Zheng Tuo with practical actions, and finish his work in one battle, either take Zheng Tuo and make cattle and horses for her in the future, or cut his hair and become a monk and go to Wutai Mountain to be a monk.
With Lin Wan'er's words rippling in his ears, "This is delicious, that is delicious, all delicious", Xu Yunfeng was already absent-minded, he unfolded and folded the note in his sleeve, like three times. The neck is stretched like a giraffe, but Zheng Tuo is not seen.
He couldn't sit still, and suddenly stood up. Stuffed the note into Zhao Gan's hand, and said an inexplicable word, "Zhao Gan, although I don't like you, I still decided to help you today, no thanks", and then left the banquet and ran to Zheng Tuo's residence. Do you want to avoid it? Then I'll pay you a visit.
"Neurotic? This son is witty, intelligent, brave and cute, sophisticated and funny, stable and lively. Do you want to help? Cut! Zhao Qian looked at Xu Yunfeng's back and muttered, gently put down his chopsticks, frowned, and unfolded the note. Keep your eyes on it. The brow furrowed even more, and the first line above the note read: Applaud once.
Zhao Gan shook his head, thinking to himself what the hell this was, and applauded once, could it be that there were knife and axe hands hidden around the hall, with the name of smashing cups, as long as he applauded, Hula rushed out dozens of big men with hideous faces and swords. But who to cut? This Xu Yunfeng is really getting more and more unable to get on the stage, and he used to use it as his main opponent. Now it seems that he has really lowered his level.
Picked up the chopsticks again, sandwiched a piece of fat and thin duck leg, rolled it in the sauce, put it in the mouth, and chewed gently.
But Zhao Gan's mind stayed on the sentence of applauding once, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more curious he became, what would happen after this applause, it was so exciting.
Putting down the chopsticks again, Zhao Gan took a sip of wine lightly, pondered it, put his hands together, patted it gently, and a crisp applause sounded in the audience, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Gan, not knowing what the third prince from the capital had to say.
Zhao Gan's eyes swept over, waiting for something to happen below, only to see a little maid dragging a Yunlong wooden tray into the hall, the tray contained things, but it was covered by red silk, and he couldn't see the things below.
"Hey, Zhao Qian, have you prepared a show?" Lin Wan'er chewed a piece of green radish in her mouth, and said with interest, "What show are you going to perform?" Singing and dancing, or Jingdong drums, Shandong Allegro? I didn't know you were so versatile? Don't mess it up, you'll be embarrassed and thrown home. ”
Zhao Qian also wondered, what was in this tray? He coughed in a low voice, stood up, stretched out his hand to pinch the red silk, and a burst of light swept through his eyes, and a row of white flowers and silver lined up a whole tray, which made people dizzy to see.
If we talk about vulgarity, this vulgar thing silver must bear the brunt of it.
Seeing the silver, Lin Wan'er and Sakata Yinshi's eyes lit up at the same time, Lin Wan'er's love for money is obvious to all, everyone knows, Sakata Yinshi loves to drink flower wine, not silver, but drinking flower wine is a very expensive thing, and the more silver, the better.
"Zhao Qian, what are you doing with so much silver?" Lin Wan'er asked, her eyes never left the silver, and she bit the chopsticks in her mouth, as if she had left tooth marks on the chopsticks.
Zhao Gan laughed dryly, he suddenly understood the intention of today's banquet, and also understood the profound meaning of Xu Yunfeng's sentence "help you", and turned his head to look at Lin Wan'er: "Wan'er, these are all prepared for you, the ancients said, the sword is matched with a hero, and the silver is given to a talented woman, as a talented woman, how can you not have a silver two by your side." ”
Lin Wan'er laughed, feeling that Zhao Gan's words were quite real, revealing a sudden momentum, she looked down on those hypocrites who were holding and saying that money was dung in their mouths, but they were holding the money bag tightly in private, so she didn't refuse Zhao Gan's sincere kindness, she didn't even have a prevarication on her lips, she beckoned to the little girl with a smile, and accepted all the money.
Zhao Gan took advantage of the gap and peeked at the note again, the second one was to applaud twice, he immediately reached out and applauded twice without doubt, two little maids entered the hall and walked to Zhao Gan with two trays, without Zhao Gan's instructions, the little maid lifted the red silk, and the objects on the tray were even more cheesy, full of glittering gold ingots, dazzling and unbearable to look at, highlighting the wealth and nobility of the whole hall.
Lin Wan'er was even more happy, and without Zhao Gan speaking, she stretched out her finger and pointed at herself, and said with a smile: "These are also for me." ”
"That's nature." Zhao Qian said as a matter of course, just a folding fan in his hand, opened it gently, and shook it slowly, showing the true character of a local tyrant who spends money like dirt, anyway, Xu Yunfeng paid for it and put it wide by himself, and he was not distressed at all.
Lin Wan'er was holding a big gold ingot in one hand, like holding two meaty babies. I can't put it down, and I'm smiling.
Sakata Gintoki, who was sitting on the side, snorted slightly coldly, muttering "corruption" in his mouth. Raising his head and taking a sip of wine, he could see that these silver ingots and gold nuggets had no share of their own, so he scolded the corruption sourly, if it was all his own in the end, he would definitely praise a sentence of "knowledge", which was more crisp than what Lin Wan'er accepted.
Everyone else is happy to do it. chose to wait and see with a smile, especially Xu Xiao felt that giving gold and silver jewelry was not tacky at all, but very atmospheric. It's better than when I was married to Su Su, I took a piece of turbid jade and bragged about the sincerity of the ore and jade.
But Li Mubai's heart suddenly sank, as if something hooked his heart and hung in the air. Heavy but light. Extremely uncomfortable.
Zhao Qian glanced at the note again, stretched out his hand and applauded three times, knock knock, and walked in a small team of maids, dragging a tray in their hands, and walked to Lin Wan'er, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and went towards Lin Wan'er.
"What are you going to do? I'm not to be trifled with. Zhao Qian. What the hell are you doing? If you do it again, I'll have to call someone. Lin Wan'er was caught off guard. knocked off the hand of the little maid in front of him, but the hand behind him was caught off guard.
In the tossing and turning of the little maid, when Lin Wan'er returned to everyone's sight, she had already changed her outfit, the previous goose-yellow mopping skirt had become a pleated red skirt, and the headdress had also become a double phoenix bun with a bright hairpin with double dragons spitting beads, and I didn't know that in the chaos, the little maid also wiped rouge on Lin Wan'er and drew her eyebrows.
Lin Wan'er can't control the big red, except for the current queen and the princess Pan Meimei, everyone else is almost hot, Chen Nuonuo's clothes color is the same white the year before last, Ouyang Xiaolan is the light green that can bring out her baby fat, Chen Xiaoxiao who is far away in the capital is light and elegant water red, Qingzhu Niang is flower cyan, Gao Cuilan in Xiliang is heroic and silvery-white, Zheng Tuo is gently paved with warm autumn fragrance, Sun Lanxiang is often gray and white when she wears her dough, and now she is mostly dressed in green and willow yellow. Cordyceps sinensis often appears in a pair of royal blue with apple green or green onion with pink.
As for Lin Wan'er, it seems that she wears clothes of any color, and at the same time, she can't cover it with any color, as far as she is concerned, she prefers navy blue, not because of solemnity, but because of dirt resistance. Wearing a bright red festive dress today, I can only describe it in one word - vulgar.
She looked down at the big red on her body, and then at the wide sleeves, she couldn't help frowning: "Zhao Gan, you didn't choose the right clothes." ”
Sun Lanxiang and Cordyceps nodded, it was indeed a little inappropriate, the red color was too festive, not only could not bring out Lin Wan'er's temperament, but it was a little damaged, which made it even more tacky.
"Zhao Qian, look at the sleeves are too big, the skirt is too cumbersome, I can't use chopsticks when I eat!" Lin Wan'er complained.
Hey, it turned out that it was inappropriate because it was inconvenient to eat.
Zhao Qian didn't expect Xu Yunfeng to toss a bright red shirt, Zheng Tuo, who is half a head taller than Wan'er, may be able to wear it and control it with his tall height, but Wan'er still forget it.
He smiled embarrassedly, looked down at the note in his hand again, and his face blushed slightly unconsciously, because there were two big characters written on it - confession, and it could be seen from the concentration of ink in the two big characters that Xu Yunfeng used to write these two words at that time.
Zhao Gan saw these two words, and couldn't help but think a lot, from opening his eyes to see the world, and then the Suzaku Gate Incident, to the imperial study to see the "Dream Order", and then to go to Lanzhou, publish "The Legend of the West Chamber", go to the north of Lanzhou to collect silkworm cocoons, and then leave Lanzhou, meet with the prison of the Ministry of Officials, see each other frankly on the Wanshou Festival, the two lie on each other's stomachs, and come to Xiliang, Liangzhou pit to deceive the gentry, the palace is in civil strife, until today, here and now.
There is no parting between life and death, and there is no entanglement of good and evil in the book, not heroic, not sad, very ordinary, and very nostalgic and nostalgic, thinking about it, he laughed unconsciously, what kind of fate do two people have to cross into the same world, in order to know each other in a very small probability, not to mention that I have known you in my previous life?
Zhao Qian was suddenly very happy and grateful, he slowly walked up to Lin Wan'er, with a warm smile on his face, like a spring breeze, and shouted crisply: "Wan'er!! ”
Lin Wan'er trembled at this crisp voice, clenched her hands into fists, one hand in front of her, and the other on her chest, making a defensive gesture, and looked at Zhao Qian vigilantly: "Zhao Gan, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhao Qian smiled even more happily, he liked Lin Wan'er like this a long, long time ago, if you are happy, I will be happy, if you are unhappy, I will be depressed, it is a very lucky thing to have someone to control my mood: "Wan'er, I have known you for so long, you know what kind of unreliable person I am, but there is still a heavy fate between the two of us, which is statistically called a small probability event, but a small probability event happened, so this is fate, since fate has arrived, I want to ask you, would you like to be my girlfriend? ”
He looked at Lin Wan'er's eyes, without the usual cheerful expression, without the cheap smile, and without cynicism, it was very solemn.
"Girlfriend?" Everyone was puzzled, they didn't understand what these three words meant, there was an endless conversation between Zhao Qian and Lin Wan'er on weekdays, everyone thought that the word "girlfriend" must not be a simple and easy thing, and their eyes looked at Lin Wan'er, waiting for her answer.
Only Li Mubai suddenly sensed a trace of terrifying danger.
Lin Wan'er suddenly stiffened on the spot, her tightly clenched hands drooped weakly, she suppressed a surging impulse, looked directly into Zhao Gan's eyes, rubbed her throat, shook her head at Zhao Gan, and said calmly: "Zhao Gan, it is not fate between us. ”
She changed direction and rejected Zhao Gan, fundamentally denied Zhao Gan, and denied everything between the two, she was even calmer than Zhao Gan, and the calmness made Zhao Qian a little scared.
Zhao Qian looked at Lin Wan'er, who was a head shorter than him, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, and finally he waved his hand, rolled his eyes hard, raised his head, and said nonchalantly: "It's not fate, it's not, if you want to refuse me, just say it, why are you saying it so seriously, it's scary." ”
As if no one was beside him, he walked back to his seat, picked up a glass of wine and drank it with a sigh of admiration.
The whole table was quiet, anyone could see Zhao Gan's suppressed emotions, and after he poured three glasses of wine, he suddenly couldn't drink it with a whimper, anger suddenly surged to his heart, he suddenly stood up, smashed one hand on the table, looked at Lin Wan'er's eyes, and asked, "Why not fate?"
