In the huge hall, there were only six people seated at the dinner table, but there were more than 20 servant girls around.

Not only Qian Yuan, but He Liangjun, Sun Kehong and Wen Peng were all a little uncomfortable, because the pomp was too big and too extravagant.

The tableware in front of everyone is made of gold, and there is a silver water stove under each dish to keep warm, Qian Yuan flipped the wine glass in his hand, just now Xiang Yuanbian said that this is a double tiger big gold cup, at least fifteen or sixteen taels.

Look at the left and right, the handwash basin held by the maid is a plum blossom silver sand gong, and there is a silver and gold incense burner next to it, and even the mouthwash bowl used for gargling is made of pure gold, Xiang Yuanbian called it "golden drops".

Xiang Yuanbian glanced at Qian Yuan, and laughed in his heart, this Qian family is afraid that he will be frightened, although he is stingy, but he loves the youngest sister in the family very much, since his brother has made a decision, he naturally wants to give Qian Yuan a dismissal.

At the beginning of the banquet, we kept talking about the treasures in the Heavenly Pavilion, but in the second half, with Wen Peng's long sigh, the atmosphere in the banquet gradually became solemn.

"I went to Hangzhou in May, and then passed through Huzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Taizhou, and Chuzhou, and what I saw and heard was chilling and indignant." Wen Peng drank all the wine in the large cup, his face flushed slightly, "I have seen with my own eyes that the officers and soldiers will collapse at the touch of a button, and the Japanese are rampant to the point of daring to attack the city. ”

"Many villages in Ningbo and Taizhou were slaughtered, and the people wailed and lost their lives."

"What's even more hateful, there are scoundrels in the market who pretend to be robbers everywhere, and the government can't control it, and it doesn't dare to control it!"

There was silence at the banquet, and even the cheap-mouthed Xiang Yuanbian couldn't speak.

"Do you know who Zhejiang people hate the most now?" Wen Peng was already drunk, "Former Zhejiang Governor Wang Minying!" ”

He Liangjun glanced at Qian Yuan out of the corner of his eye, and asked, "Why?" ”

"The coast of Zhejiang is full of beacon fires, and the Japanese are rampant, but Wang Minying actually transferred Yu Dayou and Lu Bo to the north." Wen Peng said with a smile: "Songjiang and Suzhou are fine, but the coastal areas of Zhejiang are bad,"

At this moment, even Sun Kehong turned his head to look at Qian Yuan, he and He Liangjun both had a close relationship with the Qian family, and they all knew from the Lu family that Qian Yuan suggested that it was Qian Yuan who suggested that he should mobilize heavy soldiers and famous generals to go north.

Although the Wen family and the Xiang family are famous and well-connected, after all, there is no one in the family and they are not well-informed in the officialdom.

Qian Yuan's face did not change, and he tried to pretend to be a dog, muttering in his heart that it was best not to go to Ningbo and Shaoxing in the future, otherwise he would be beaten.

Xiang Dushou played with the double tiger big gold cup in his hand, "I heard that the new governor of Zhejiang has transferred Lu Bo back to Shaoxing and Ningbo?" ”

"It is true." Wen Peng nodded, "I heard about it when I was in Hangzhou. ”

"What!?" Xiang Yuanbian, who had never heard anything outside the window, jumped up suddenly, "What about Jiaxing Mansion?" ”

Jiaxing has always been the key target of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, but since Lu Bo led his troops to defend the town, although they could not be expelled completely, the number of Japanese activities has become less and less.

Lu Bo is a famous general in Zhejiang, but the officers and soldiers in Shaoxing and Ningbo basically do not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Now that Lu Bo is gone, Jiaxing's safety will be tested.

Xiang Dushou sighed: "But the pressure on the governor's yamen is not small, half a month ago a group of Japanese robbers from Ningbo to Shaoxing, and then attacked Qiantang, Hangzhou was shaken, but Lu Bo was transferred, and there are many elite soldiers under his command stationed in Jiaxing, by the way, his young son Lu Bin is also there." ”

"What's the use of a little handful?" Xiang Yuanbian shook his head disdainfully.

Sun Kehong, who also had a friendship with Lu Bin, frowned and wanted to refute, but there was a cough on the side.

Sun Kehong glanced at Qian Yuan, who shook his head slightly, and was silent after thinking about it.

The helpless Xiang Dushou enviously glanced at the visiting guests, "You have Yu Dayou in Songjiang Mansion, and Ren Huan ...... in Suzhou Mansion."

"Yu Dayou is the deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang after all......" He Liangjun smiled bitterly.

Wen Peng added casually: "So the people of Zhejiang hate Wang Minying the most, followed by Yu Dayou, after all, Lu Bo was still in Zhejiang before he was stationed in Jiaxing Mansion." ”

"You haven't seen ......"

Wen Peng slammed the table violently, "The officers and soldiers are as timid as rats, and hundreds of people have been expelled at will by dozens of widows!" ”

"In the suburbs of Taizhou, the whole village is empty, no people, no dogs barking, no cooking smoke......"

Qian Yuan looked at Wen Peng, who he thought was just a scribe, in a daze, and watched tears slide down his thin face.

That night, Wen Peng was drunk, although he was famous for his calligraphy and painting, but he was as interested in making contributions as his father, but unfortunately he failed repeatedly in the imperial examination as his father, and he was famous until his death.

Historically, Wen Zhengming and his descendants were very unhappy on the road to the imperial examination, and the champion Wen Zhen Menghui at the end of the Ming Dynasty took the examination for 27 consecutive years, and only went to high school ten times.

The Xiang family's banquet is extravagant, and the guest room used to entertain guests is also extraordinary, the drapery, quilts, and pillows are all silk brocade, and there are even beautiful maids who serve Qian Yuan to wash, and he doesn't even need to take off his shoes himself!

It was already late at night, but Qian Yuan didn't feel sleepy yet.

Lying on the thick soft bed, with his hands crossed behind his head, Qian Yuan stared at the dark top with his eyes open.

Qian Yuan was very sure that his choice was not wrong, and he was also sure that his suggestion that Yu Dayou and Lu Bo lead their troops north must have had a good effect.

He was very satisfied with the storm that his butterfly rolled up with its wings, as evidenced by the fact that Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion had not been invaded by a large number of Japanese robbers, but now he had complex emotions in his heart that were difficult for others to know.

Qian Yuan repeatedly savored his psychological journey in the past six months in his heart.

From the anxiety after the refusal when he hurriedly encouraged his family to move to Hangzhou when he first returned to Huating, to the numbness of being locked up in Lu's house...... This is Old Man Lu's pot!

After Yu Dayou finally defeated the Japanese who were entrenched in Chuansha, and Ren Huan won three consecutive victories in Taihu Lake, Songjiang Mansion fell into an atmosphere of peace in the world.

After the three years of exemption from the taxes of Songjiang Prefecture in the middle of the dynasty, Huating was even more peaceful.

Qian Yuan couldn't help but lift the quilt and turn over and get out of bed, kicking his shoes back and forth for a few steps, he didn't expect that the premise of being safe in Songjiang Mansion was that the invasion of the coastal areas of Zhejiang was so crazy.

Wen Peng, who returned from the coastal area of Zhejiang, finally burst into tears, which had a great impact on Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan was not soft-hearted and never moved by tears, but the problem was that he was very unsure now whether his storm through the butterfly would have a bad impact on the original history.

Now that Lu Bo has gone, Jiaxing Mansion is likely to be invaded, once Jiaxing is unstable, Songjiang Mansion will be difficult to keep the peace, the Japanese from Haiyan, Haining ashore, after going north to the south can attack Songjiang, to the north can attack Suzhou.

It has to be said that the environment always affects the way people think.

After coming to this era for more than a year, most of the people he came into contact with were scholars, but Qian Yuan didn't realize that at that moment just now, he didn't only think about himself in his mind.

Even he didn't consider that Lu Bo was far away, the crisis in Jiaxing was highlighted, and he was still in danger in Chongde County.
