Li Shimin laughed heartily, Jia Weixian, Lu Yuting and others are not fools: the fart spreads etiquette, and he doesn't want to send troops to fight.

Li Chengqian's eyes rolled around, and from time to time he glanced at Zong Xiu, who was standing under His Highness.

"Okay, all of you Aiqing have worked hard today, if you are injured, go to the imperial doctor to see, and if you are not injured, go back first. Hahahaha...... Spread the religion of etiquette, good! Good! Good! ”

Li Shimin said the word 'good' three times in a row and walked away laughing.

After Zong Xiumu saw Li Shimin leave, he said hello to Jia Weixian and Lu Yuting with a smile and was about to leave.

Li Chengqian suddenly shouted: "Master, slow down." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has orders?"

Zong Xiu turned his head and asked.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Master, it's not too early this day, why don't you go to my prince's mansion and sit down and drink a glass of thin wine?" ”

Zong Xiu shook his head: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, it's just that I still have something at home, let's do it another day." ”

The two of them were polite again, Zong Xiu insisted on not going, and finally Li Chengqian retreated and left with Jia Weixian, Lu Yuting and other officials of Honglu Temple.

By the time Zong Xiu got home, it was already dark at night.

After Yi Chengqing saw that Zong Xiu's head corner was smashed, he was worried again, and Zong Xiu, who was harmed, explained it with various explanations, saying that it was caused by the mutual beating with the Tuyuhun envoys, and it was nothing serious, so he comforted Yi Tingqing.

In the next few days, Li Chengqian seemed to be determined to invite Zong Xiu to dinner, and sent people to invite him several times. Zong Xiu couldn't get rid of it under the guise that he had a head injury and needed to recuperate.

At noon that day, Zong Xiu had just returned from Jiangjia Village when he saw a person standing at the door.

The man was in his early forties, a middle-aged scribe in a long robe. Seeing Zong Xiu coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask, but is it the Zong Marquis?" ”

"You are?"

Zong Xiu looked at the man suspiciously, his face tightened.

Yi Qingqing took a quick step and stood half a step in front of Zong Xiu, faintly blocking between the two.

The man saluted with both hands: "In the lower Song Dynasty, the king of Wei washes the horses." ”

King Wei washes horses? Lee Tae's people?

Zong Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lukewarmly: "It turned out to be Song Xima, I don't know what you are talking about?" ”

Song Yang hurriedly said: "Isn't this the end of the autumn season, some scholars are still staying in Chang'an." The king of my family took pity on them alone in a foreign land, and wanted to set up a boat banquet with them tonight in the upper reaches of the Qujiang River to entertain all the scholars. Hou Ye is the Heavenly Sect given by His Majesty, and the banquet place is at the door of Hou Ye's house, so he specially invited Hou Ye to the banquet. ”

After Song Yang finished speaking, he took out an invitation with gold rim from his arms and held it respectfully in his hand.

"Girl."

Zong Xiu called softly, and Yi immediately stepped forward to take the invitation.

In Song Yang's expectant eyes, Zong Xiu said: "Go back and talk to His Royal Highness King Wei, I will be on time in the evening." ”

After Song Yang left, Yi was puzzled: "The prince didn't even go to the invitation of His Royal Highness the Prince, why did he go to the banquet of King Wei?" ”

"It's not okay if you don't go here...... Zong Xiu gritted his teeth and explained: "Li Tai opened the banquet at our door in the name of inviting scholars, if I don't go, how do those scholars think of me?" ”

"But Childe is not a person who cares about reputation." It's easy to be puzzled.

Zong Xiu snorted: "I don't care about reputation, but believe it or not, as long as I don't go, Li Tai will definitely let his subordinates drive the boat at our door!" Then he led the men and knocked on our door. ”

"Forehead ......"

Yi was stunned.

Zong Xiu scolded in a low voice: "I don't know who I learned from when I was so young. ”

Song Yang just said: The banquet is in the upper reaches of the Qujiang River.

What is the upper reaches of the Qujiang River?

It was only seven or eight miles away from the small courtyard where he lived.

It's still a boat banquet, even if he doesn't go, the boat drifts with the tide during the banquet and drifts to his door, can Li Tai still take the scholar off the boat and knock on the door to pay a visit?

Zong Xiu can refuse Li Tai's invitation, but if Li Tai knocks on the door and he doesn't open the door, how do those scholars from Tiannan and Haibei think of him?

Wait for those scholars to return to their hometowns, one by one, ten to hundred, and not to regard him as a man who is proud of his talents and does not take the prince in his eyes.

"Hehe, the banquet is it? I'm going to see what you're up to. ”

Zong Xiu gritted his teeth and entered the house, and rarely turned out his official robe and put it on.

Since he was crowned Honglu Temple, this official robe was worn for the first time.

The dark purple official robe was embroidered with large clusters of flowers, and the jade hook belt was hung with a golden fish charm, and the momentum immediately came out.

When Zong Xiu walked out of the house, Yi was even more shocked: "It's just a private banquet, why did the son still put on the official robe?" ”

Zong Xiu smiled mysteriously and didn't explain, but said: "Girl, I'll go to the banquet in the evening, don't go if there are too many people." If you are bored, take the golden tiger to the village. ”

"Yes."

Yi agreed to a promise, and went straight into the house to dig out the clothes that had not been finished earlier.

She's making clothes for the Golden Tiger.

Now that the little guy is getting bigger and bigger, Zong Xiu specially asked Yi to make a vest for Jin Hu, embroidered with the name of Jin Hu and the words "Mascot of the World Society". In this way, even if the golden tiger sneaks out one day, it will not be beaten as a wild bear.

As soon as the needle and thread brain were taken out, Jin Hu pounced.

Although the panda is not a cat, it is also playful, circling around a dustpan filled with cloth and needlework, and has to work and drive away the golden tiger.

Yi was busy for a while, and couldn't help muttering and complaining: "Son, if you don't do anything, you can't help hold the golden tiger, I can't do it like this." ”

"Haha, if it wants to play, you can play with it, and you don't have to worry about clothes or anything."

“……”

The two of them were fighting and fighting, and soon an afternoon passed.

Zong Xiu looked at the sky, saw the order, got up and straightened his clothes: "Girl, I'll go first." ”

Yi Qingqing stepped on the golden tiger's fluffy belly with his feet, tickled the golden tiger, and said without raising his head: "That girl is waiting for her son to come back at home." ”

"Hmm."

Zong Xiu didn't go to the village to call a carriage when he left the courtyard gate, and walked up the riverside path alone. After walking for about half an hour, I saw a huge painting boat anchored by the river.

When Zong Xiu walked over, the people from the Wei Wangfu on duty on both sides hurriedly greeted him: "Master Hou is finally here, my king has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Master Hou, please get on board."

After getting on the boat, Zong Xiu found that there were not many people in the painting boat, and there were more than a dozen scholars sitting in the boat, as well as the little kid Li Tai.

"Haha, the master is here."

Lee Tae is also fourteen years old, and forcibly laughing and pretending to be mature is extremely awkward in Jong-so's opinion.

As soon as Zong Xiu said a few polite words, Li Tai pulled Zong Xiu and introduced to the scholar: "Ladies and gentlemen, this one next to this king is the newly appointed Honglu Siqing, the 'Tianwen Sect' Zong Xiu personally given by His Majesty. Presumably, everyone saw it at the last Chang'an poetry meeting. Haha, Master Zongzi has great talents, so I haven't seen it soon. ”

As if they had been commanded, the scholars stood up and saluted.

"In Xialingnan Sun Yucai, I have seen Hou Ye."

"Hedong Liu Wenyu, I've seen Master Hou."

"Shannan ......"

“……”

Just when the scholars were giving Zong Xiu a salute, a very inopportune voice suddenly appeared: .

"Haha, fourth brother, are you holding a banquet here, or are you inviting a scholar to a banquet on behalf of your father, why don't you inform Brother Wang? Aren't you worried that Brother Wang will eat you poor? ”
