131 The first feast is moderate
(It's too congested, the pink ticket seems to be rising, 555~)
The undercurrent of the Gu family is turbulent, but for the rest of the powerful families in Jingzhao, this time is quite pleasant, and many families are preparing the first banquet with great interest, calling friends to come and talk about it.
The first banquet is actually the first banquet after going to the house of the powerful. Some people do it, some people don't, this year's Gu family, because Gu Zhan has a disease, did not do it.
In general, the ministers and nobles of Jingzhao Quan will hold their first banquets, and the Shen family, which has always been deserted, have come to Lu Qing, Du Yu and other guests. In the cold early spring afternoon, they came to the East Garden of the Shen Family with wine and delicacies, chatting with the qin with gin and drinking, talking about the world and people half-frantically and seriously, sometimes looking up and drinking, sometimes laughing, and shocking the plum blossoms in the East Garden.
"Here they go again...... Later, you can see Master Du with his open clothes and bare chests again......" Ye Ran looked at the three old men in the courtyard and muttered to Shen Du in a low voice.
As he spoke, he took the wine bottle on the small table, poured the wine for Shen, and filled a glass for himself, his rough face was flushed, and he had obviously drunk a lot.
"Yes, it's a pity that only we see that all the officials in the Chinese book say that Master Du is a cold-faced tiger." Shen Du said with a smile, raised his wine glass and took a sip, he was half-sitting and stretched his legs, and his attitude was extremely leisurely.
"Cold-faced tiger ......" Ye Ran listened, looking at the scene in the courtyard, his face couldn't help twitching. At this moment, Lord Du, who is smiling and unraveling the big frozen, is it a cold-faced tiger?
Shen Du nodded firmly, and continued to smile and look at the old men. Whether it's Shen Su or Du Pre. At such an initial feast, they were extremely happy and relaxed. There is a kind of smugness in the wandering wreckage, and such a moment is extremely rare for them.
"Let's go, go pour wine for the adults!" Shen Du pushed Ye Ran and said with a smile. At this time, there will be no servants in the courtyard, and things like pouring wine and handing tea are of course handled by Shen Du and Ye Ran.
Over there, Du Yu was already sitting by the guqin. The big one is open. Then he smiled and said, "I recently composed a song, let me play it for you." ”
Many people in Jingzhao know that the best thing for Zhongshu Shilang Du Yu is not to be an official, but to play the qin! When he was younger, he was known as Mr. Qingpre. The one-handed piano skills are superb. He played a song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" to attract hundreds of birds to perch. It's a pity that ten years ago, Du Yu didn't play the piano in front of people.
Outside, Mr. Qingyu has given up the piano, but he doesn't know the first banquet every year. He brought the piano to the Shen family's East Garden, but he couldn't play the song at will, and it was the first time to compose a song like this.
Before his words fell, he heard Lu Qing laugh "sneering": "Don't, I don't want a bird to on my head!" ”
Shen Su smiled contemptuously on the side and did not speak. Lu Qing and Du Yu were younger than Shen Su, and Shen Su used to watch them make trouble and rarely said anything.
Du Yu laughed "haha", his hands gently stroked the strings, and the whole person was different from just now, looking extremely quiet.
The atmosphere of the courtyard also changed, the laughter and excitement just now turned into quiet, and the eyes of several people fell on Du Yu's body, waiting for the piano to sound.
Du Pre's style of music is known for its majestic atmosphere, Shen Su and others thought that they would hear a magnificent tune, but they didn't expect that Du Pre played such an empty and vast tune!
When Du pre-put away the last piano note, several people were still in such an emptiness, and only plum blossoms fell lightly in the courtyard.
After a long time, Lu Qing blinked the wet man and screamed a few times in disguise: "Hey, what are you playing?" It's hard to hear! Hurry up, punish three glasses of wine, and play something nice to help celebrate! ”
His strange screams did not eliminate the silence of the courtyard, Shen Su still had a gloomy face, and Shen Du and Ye Ran looked at Du Yu in a daze, and did not come back to their senses for a while.
"I ...... I remembered the events of a dozen years ago, the first banquet at that time...... Woo woo......" Du Yu's expression was full of pain, and the unfinished words were covered in his mouth.
When he spoke, Lu Qing had already rushed to his side, covered his mouth with his hand, and begged with his eyes: Don't say, don't say, don't talk about the things of the year, there are still Shen Su and Shen Du in this courtyard......
Shen Su looked at Lu Qing's movements, couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Mingche, are you like this?" That's a big deal. ”
Neither he nor Shen Du were so vulnerable, if they couldn't say anything, if they couldn't face that incident head-on, then what would they do when they came back to Jingzhao?
At this time, Shen Du also approached Lu Qing with a wine bottle, with a smile on his face: "Uncle Lu, it's okay. Uncle Du, this song is so good! ”
Shen Du bent down and asked them to sit down, his expression and tone were not painful, and it seemed that there was indeed nothing he couldn't stand it.
Du Pre wiped his face with his hand, exchanged the pain for hatred, and said fiercely: "One day, I will pull Fang Jixin's house down!" ”
In addition, those people, he doesn't have that ability yet, only Fang Jixin, who is also an important official in the center, is a little closer to Du Yu.
Shen Du listened to Du Yu's words, his eyes narrowed, and then he smiled and said, "Uncle Du, this matter ...... It's not very difficult anymore. ”
He thought of the congratulatory gift given by Gu Yan, with this congratulatory gift, Uncle Du's words could be realized. Even if Fang Jixin is a scholar, he is not invincible.
As soon as Shen Du's words fell, Du Yu asked in surprise: "Is there any good way?" ”
Fang Jixin is the number one in power, and he has the support of the nobles who are in power behind him, plus he is cautious, for so many years, they have no way to deal with him. Now that Shen Du said this, what is the best way?
Even Lu Qing looked at Shen Du with bright eyes, wanting to hear what Shen Du had to do.
Shen Du suddenly played, and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, anyway, the time hasn't come yet." ”
Lu Qing and Du Pre glanced at each other, and then both twitched their brows. The next moment, Lu Qing wanted to take off his boots and throw them at Shen Du, this stinky boy! Still messing around here?!
He couldn't help but run after Shen Du, and the emptiness in the courtyard dissipated because of Du Yu's song.
Ye Ran holds the wine bottle. Pouring himself a drink, looking at Lu Qing chasing Shen Du, like a child playing, he thought to himself: These adults in the court, one is stranger than the other!!
Shen Su, like Ye Ran, looked at Shen Du and Lu Qing making trouble, but he was thinking about the song that Du played just now. Empty and vast, it seems that there is no one left, only endless loneliness lingering around him.
He closed his eyes and hid all his feelings: I have been floating for a long time. Ten years. Deeply gracious, dead and old friends......
Shen Du was still thinking about this first banquet of the Shen family, and then received a post from the son of Changyin, inviting him to attend the first banquet of the Duke of Anguo. The invitation was very earnest. - The crisp and elegant font. It is the handwriting of the son of Changyin.
And so it goes. Shen Du didn't want to go. If it was a post from the Anguo Mansion, he would probably not go, but Changyin Gongzi personally invited ......
Thereupon. Shen Du went to the Anguo Mansion to attend this first banquet. Because of the status of the Anguo Mansion, even if it was just a simple first banquet, Jing Zhaoxun's noble family came, and the newly promoted Cheng Enbo Zhang Guinian was also invited, and he was in the limelight.
is not only the head of the household, but also the mother of the future prince, Zhang Guiling is in the limelight. Shen Du held the wine cup and looked at the nobles gathered here, the smile on his face became more and more abundant, but his eyes were calm, as if there was nothing.
Everyone is together...... Those people back then are here......
Just when Shen Du's thoughts were moving, a servant boy came to Shen Du and said respectfully: "Lord Shen, my son-in-law is invited, please come with the little one." ”
Shen Du recognized that this was the servant boy cooking tea beside the prince of Changyin. As soon as he said this, Shen Du realized that the eldest son did not appear in the banquet hall. With such a gorgeous character and such a temperament, it seems reasonable if he does not appear as the proprietor.
Shen Du thought so, so he followed this little guy named Qi Shu out, and then came to a courtyard, on which were written "Weiju" These two people, at first glance, saw the name of this courtyard, Shen Du was stunned for a moment.
Changyin, slightly, it seems that what this immortal figure really thinks in his heart is ordinary and even annihilated among everyone, what a surprise! His appearance, his talent, his family background, what would allow him to be ordinary?
Everyone's desire is different, and sometimes what is at one person's fingertips is something that another person is striving for but cannot reach. In Changyin Gongzi, it turns out that he also has such a mood?
As soon as Shen Du stepped into the micro-residence, he felt a burst of warmth, but he couldn't see any charcoal stoves, only saw the quiet and delicate furnishings, presumably there was a warm pool in this place.
The oncoming one is the son of Changyin. He was dressed in a dark color, and he looked very different from usual, and there was a hint of coldness.
"Jizhi, you're here, please come in." Changyin Gongzi greeted like this, and did not call "Lord Shen" as before, but called the word Shen Du.
The so-called title is called to respect his name, and the title of Changyin Gongzi is in line with Jingzhao's consistent etiquette, but with such a title, it seems that the two people are closer, not as alienated and far away as "Lord Shen".
Shen Du responded with a smile, and followed the Changyin Gongzi to a tea room, where the servant boy Qi Shu was already boiling water and cooking tea.
"Qi Shu's tea skills have improved a lot, so you can taste it." Nagakuin said this, stretching out his hand and making a gesture of please.
Shen Du looked at such a Changyin Gongzi, but he felt a little strange in his heart, as if the Changyin Gongzi had specially invited him to taste tea. In this case, it would be good to give him a post directly, why do you need to go through the procedure of the first banquet?
As if he knew what Shen Du was thinking, Changyin Gongzi smiled lightly: "I originally wanted to give you a post, and it happened that there was a first banquet in the house, so I let them send it together by the way." ”
He didn't tell Shen Du, he specially chose this day to invite Shen Du to come, so many nobles were present, he just wanted to see Shen Du's reaction, he wanted to see what abnormal Shen Du would be.
It's a pity that he observed in the dark for a long time, and he couldn't see anything except Shen Du's smile.
Shen Du nodded, not exposing the obvious excuse of Changyin Gongzi. Who is the Hidden Child? How can it be by the way?
Next, the two of them drank tea like this, talking about the situation in the court, talking about Jingzhao's Fengyue, and there was nothing important to say.
Only in the end, Shen Du was almost drunk with tea, and when he was about to say goodbye, he heard Changyin Gongzi say something casually.
This sentence shocked Shen Du, and the tea spilled out.
"The emperor intends to visit Jiangnan in March." Changyin Gongzi said.
