Chapter Thirty-Three: The Feast of Horror
This time the micro-service came to Wu Fan's insistence.
Because Wu Fan really didn't expect that the ancient emperor would have so many rules if he wanted to go on patrol, Wu Fan was already completely dumbfounded before Wang Chengen finished speaking, and if he continued like this, I was afraid that Wu Fan would be played with a lot of etiquette to collapse, so Wu Fan decisively decided not to do any ceremony at Wu Sangui's house this time, and directly played micro-clothes to go out on patrol.
Wu Fan prepared a large set of rhetoric to persuade Wang Chengen, but he didn't expect it, as soon as he proposed micro-service, Wang Chengen immediately agreed, which greatly surprised Wu Fan.
In fact, Wu Fan didn't know that it was not in accordance with the rules at all for him to rush to the courtier's house, and it would take a month just to report to the Ministry of Rites. Of course, if it weren't for Li Letong's monster-like skills and Wu Fan's increasingly powerful martial arts, Wang Chengen would never agree to let Wu Fan leave the palace. It's just that Wang Chengen saw that Wu Fan had already made up his mind to go to Wu Sangui's mansion, so he naturally chose the fastest way.
Wu Fan didn't know that just before he left the palace, Wang Chengen had already commanded nearly a thousand palace guards all over the road from the palace to Wu's mansion, as long as there was the slightest possibility of threatening Wu Fan, there would be a terrible scene similar to a mutiny in the capital.
Wu Fan held a sandalwood paper fan in his hand, of course, this fan was purely used to pretend, and it was the end of the third month of the lunar calendar, that is, about five. For a while, the temperature in the capital was not hot enough to fan it.
Wu Fan saw Wu Sangui kneeling down to greet him, turned the paper fan in his hand twice, and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, you don't need so many rules." I just came here in Weifu, I just want to chat with Wu Aiqing like a friend and have a meal, you are kneeling with so many people, so what's the fun. ”
Wu Sangui got up from the ground at this time, bowed slightly to Wu Fan's side, squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "The emperor treats his ministers like this, which makes the ministers feel both moved and frightened. What moved was the emperor's grace, which made the ministers and their families like a spring breeze; I'm afraid that I can't be diligent in the king's affairs and share the emperor's worries. ”
Wu Sangui leaned towards Wu Fan's side, and Li Letong behind Wu Fan couldn't help but stare at him, his feet were slightly forced, and the big tendons behind him bulged suddenly. Su Zhenhai has been standing beside Li Letong, afraid that Li Letong will cause trouble, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull on Li Letong's placket, and leaned his body to Li Letong's side. Li Letong has always been a little afraid of the extremely shrewd Su Banxian, but when he was pulled by Su Banxian, he immediately showed a smile, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, and relaxed again.
With Wu Fan's hearing practiced in the poisonous bee array, he had already noticed the strangeness of Li Letong behind him. Wu Fan didn't expect Li Letong to be so protective of the master, and his heart suddenly felt proud, anyone with such a monster-level and such a loyal guard by his side would feel that he could sleep more steadily than usual.
Under the guidance of Wu Sangui, Wu Fan came to the main hall of the Wu Mansion. Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, led the whole family to bow down to Wu Fan again, Wu Fan, as a modern person, was indeed a little uncomfortable with the red tape of this period, and shook his hand casually and said: "I came here this time to chat with Wu Aiqing like a friend and have a meal, if you have been so respectful, then I will not eat the rice, so I will go back." We don't talk about the rules for this meal, just like an ordinary party, just be happy, you know? ”
Wu Fan's words have come to this point, Wu Sangui can no longer continue to show the joy of the monarch and ministers, Suo surname relaxed, and really treated Wu Fan as if he was just here for a meal, and began to call his family to prepare for the banquet.
After the banquet began, Wu Fan naturally sat in the first place, Wang Chengen, Su Banxian, and Li Letong on the left side lined up in turn, and on the right hand side were Wu Sangui, Wu Xiang, and Wu Sangui's brothers and sons, and they sat at a large table, almost fourteen or fifteen people.
Since Wu Fan was inexplicably selected by the devil in a car accident, it has been a long time since a large table of people gathered together to eat and drink, two glasses of wine, Wu Fan inexplicably had the feeling of getting together with his co-workers to drink and chat after he got off work, and his voice began to get louder unconsciously, and even took the initiative to tell two jokes that were often told at the wine table in later generations.
The jokes told by the emperor himself, even if they are not funny at all, the people present dare not laugh, not to mention that the jokes told by Wu Fan are really novel and laughing, the people at the table are laughing forward and backwards, and even the servants who are standing aside and the little guy serving the food are desperately covering their mouths and snickering.
After Wu Sangui finished laughing, he put the chopsticks on the plate in front of him, and said to Wu Fan playfully: "The emperor's two jokes are so funny, the minister has never heard them before, so it is a bit rude, and please don't blame the emperor." The minister also told an interesting story for the emperor, this is not a joke, but the minister saw it on the battlefield when he was fighting the Manchu Tartars in Liaodong"
After a few laughs, the atmosphere was completely released, and in the staggered process of pushing the glass and changing the lamp, everyone gradually forgot the usual etiquette, and Li Letong even toasted Wu Fan with a glass of wine. Wu Fan also regained the feeling of being in the wine field, and even picked up the wine glass and began to play in circles according to the rules of the wine field in later generations.
After drinking a circle of wine, everyone else praised Wu Fan's approachability in their hearts, but they didn't know that Wu Fan had already drunk a little too much. The alcohol content in ancient times is a bit low compared to modern wine, but Wu Fan himself is not a person who drinks a lot of alcohol, and after drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, his face is swollen and red, and he begins to feel a little dizzy.
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Wu Fan suddenly squinted his eyes and asked Wu Sangui: "Wu Aiqing, I heard that there is a beauty named Chen Yuanyuan who is known as the number one in the world next to you, who is both singing and dancing, why don't you call her out to open my eyes?" ”
Wu Fan is used to the yellow jokes flying all over the wine in the later generations, and he is already a little brainless when he speaks under the stimulation of alcohol, in all the film and television works of later generations, as long as Wu Sangui is mentioned, Chen Yuanyuan's name is indispensable, so he blurted out that he wanted to meet Chen Yuanyuan.
It's a pity that Wu Fan didn't know that Chen Yuanyuan was originally a kaki bought back from Jiangnan by Tian Guifei's father at a great price, and was going to be sent to the palace to serve Chongzhen, and prepared a killer weapon for Tian Guifei and Empress Zhou to compete for favor. It's a pity that Chongzhen is not an emperor who is willing to indulge in beauty, in Chongzhen's eyes, the country is far more important than beauty, just glanced at Chen Yuanyuan from a distance, and ordered Tian Guozhang to take Chen Yuanyuan out of the palace. Chongzhen's reason at that time was that Chen Yuanyuan's beauty was too amazing, and Chongzhen was afraid that he would not be able to extricate himself in the future, and he did not want to leave this red face in the palace for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
After Tian Guozhang brought Chen Yuanyuan back to the mansion, he did not give up, and still privately supported Chen Yuanyuan, preparing to find an opportunity to send him to the palace again. At this time, Wu Sangui once went to Tian Guozhang's house to drink, Tian Guozhang sent someone to summon Chen Yuanyuan to sing for Wu Sangui under excitement, but Wu Sangui fell in love with Chen Yuanyuan at a glance, and actually picked up Chen Yuanyuan on the spot, and said to Tian Guozhang: "If you can give it away, I will ensure that your Tian family is safe." After that, he left the table with Chen Yuanyuan in his arms.
At that time, the world was in chaos, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were raging in the Central Plains, coupled with the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guan, Tian Guozhang really wanted to rely on the protection of Wu Sangui, who had a heavy army, and had no choice but to acquiesce. After Wu Sangui went home, he learned that Chen Yuanyuan had been sent to the palace, so he blocked the news in a panic, for fear that Chongzhen would trouble him because of Chen Yuanyuan.
As a result, Wu Sangui never expected that Wu Fan came to the house this time, and he actually came for Chen Yuanyuan, his face suddenly became gloomy and ugly, and he hesitated with a wine glass in his hand, not knowing whether he should immediately recruit his own soldiers, so he turned his face with Wu Fan. And the Wu family knew the details of this matter, and at the same time they were silent, looking at Wu Sangui without blinking, waiting for Wu Sangui's decision.
Of course, Wang Chengen understood the entanglement between Chongzhen, Wu Sangui, and Chen Yuanyuan, and suddenly secretly complained in his heart, eager to give himself two mouths on the spot, but he didn't calculate it, the emperor actually came to Wu Sangui's mansion for Chen Yuanyuan, and thought of this detail earlier, Wang Chengen said that he would not let Wu Fan come to Weifu.
Although Su Banxian didn't understand the slightest thread in this, he was very shrewd, and he immediately saw that something was wrong from the faces of the people on the field, and in worry, he secretly stretched his hand under the table to his waist and held the dagger that had been hidden in his waist.
Only Li Letong was straightforward and fast-talking, and he felt the faint murderous aura in the hall after fighting on the battlefield all the year round, and suddenly his eyes widened, and his anger penetrated his whole body, and he began to look around vigilantly.
Wu Fan didn't think of so much at all, and he didn't know anything about it, seeing that Wu Sangui didn't speak, Wu Fan actually laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu Sangui and said, "Wu Aiqing, you're here again." I said that there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers at the wine table today, only the righteousness of friends, and as your friend, it is not too much to meet your wife, right? Are you still worried that I will rob your wife? ”
After speaking, Wu Fanjing laughed to himself, completely unaware that the entire wine table was stupid by his words, what is this? Meet your wife? This is what the emperor said? This whole market kid would say it, right?
Li Letong felt more and more that this emperor was too angry with him, and couldn't help but laugh with Wu Fan.
So under the scene of everyone looking at each other at the wine table, only Wu Fan, who had drunk a little too much, and Li Letong, who had no heart and lungs, were left laughing wildly.
Wu Sangui gently placed the wine glass on the table, he knew that he couldn't do it at this time. Although it seems that Wu Fan is obedient and only brings seven or eight people with him, secretly I am afraid that I don't know how many masters in the city are with him, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops loyal to Wu Fan inside and outside the city, once he makes a move, Wu Sangui doesn't know if he can hurt Wu Fan, but his Wu family will definitely be beheaded.
So Wu Sangui's face was full of smiles again, turned his head to look at Wu Fan and said, "Your Majesty, since even you have heard of the singing art in the cheap, it is a blessing in the cheap." The minister went to summon the cheap and asked her to perform for the emperor. ”
Wu Sangui opened his mouth, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became active again, and the subordinates standing on the side hurriedly ran out to the backyard to invite Chen Yuanyuan
