Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 80 Going to the Banquet (3)
Shocked to hear that the holy decree was coming, Ji Yan was also a little dazed, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he had to arrange his clothes and kneel on the ground to listen to the will.
Bai You cleared his throat and said: "When the weather is good, I am here: I heard that the prince of the Ji family is holding a banquet here, and the young talents of Dayou are gathered together, and I have the intention to come here to take the lead in seeing the demeanor of all the talents, but the rules of the country do not dare to waste lightly, so I have to endure it patiently, and I will meet with you again when the festival lasts...... Today, a special person brought ten jars of fine wine and gave you talents to drink happily......"
After listening to Bai You's recitation of the little emperor's will, everyone present was surprised, I don't know what the little emperor meant? Originally, Ji Yan of the Xilie Marquis Mansion set up a banquet, but the little emperor sent someone to say that he actually wanted to come to the banquet, but he was forced to come to the banquet because he was forced to come...... And this decree seems to be for Ji Yan, but between the lines, it is inseparable from the talents of other princes...... This? This inevitably leads to the suspicion of dominating the crowd. But it doesn't seem right to say this, because until now, the master of this world is still the little emperor...... But in any case, the arrival of this will makes people seem very uncomfortable.
……
Seeing that everyone was still stunned, Bai You coughed lightly and shouted in a sharp voice: "Shizi Ji Yan still doesn't accept the order?" ”
"Ji Yan took the order, thank Your Majesty Longen." Ji Yan took the will calmly.
Everyone didn't notice that just now when Ji Yan took over the will in Bai You's hands, he flicked a costly night pearl into Bai You's sleeve, but Bai You shook his cuffs and returned the night pearl...... Ji Yan held the night pearl that was not given out in his hand, looked at Bai You and smiled slightly, and said softly: "Father-in-law works hard, if you don't give up, please go into the building and drink a few glasses of wine." ”
"Nope! Our family has to return to the palace to resume their lives, how dare we bear the word hard work for the saint? Bai You's tone was decent, without any emotion.
Seeing Bai You's official appearance, the expression on Ji Yan's face did not change, and he continued: "Even so, I don't dare to delay my father-in-law's return, so I ask my father-in-law to tell Your Majesty on my behalf, Your Majesty Longen, and the Xilie Marquis Mansion is grateful." ”
Bai You glanced at Ji Yan and said, "If the son of the world, our family will definitely bring it to His Majesty without saying a word." ”
"Thank you." Ji Yan waved his hand at Bai You to thank him.
Bai You didn't say anything or look at anyone again, but directly turned on his horse and turned away with a few little eunuchs.
Ji Yan looked at the cart of wine brought by Bai You, smiling, I don't know what to think?
Yan Kun stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young Master Ji is favored by His Majesty, which is really enviable. ”
"Really?" Ji Yan turned her head and looked at Yan Kun with a smile on her face.
Yan Kun saw Ji Yan asking like this, and the smile on his face suddenly became embarrassed.
Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang stepped forward and said, "When will Brother Ji have a banquet?" Looking at this wine, the gluttonous worm in my stomach was also hooked......"
Hearing Mu Qiuhuang's words, Ji Yan realized that his attitude at this time was a little unruly, and cast a grateful look at Mu Qiuhuang, and hurriedly said: "What Brother Mu said is very true, the wine given by His Majesty looks like it is gluttonous, let's hurry up and go in and taste it!" ”
"Presumably, Lord Yan can't wait for such a fine wine, right?" Ji Yan smiled at Yan Kun.
When Yan Kun saw Ji Yan's appearance, he also regained his smile, and said with a smile: "What Ji Gongzi said is very true, the wine worm in the official's stomach is already hungry and thirsty. ”
"So what are you waiting for? Lord Yan, Brother Mu, Brother Ram, please hurry inside. Ji Yan smiled and lifted the curtain.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a wave of heat poured out, and it was really a curtain that separated the two seasons.
Mu Qiuhuang deliberately dropped his steps and approached Yan Kun and asked in a low voice, "Who is this Bai Gonggong?" ”
Yan Kun, who was bowing his head and pondering, heard Mu Qiuhuang's words and raised himself, he didn't want to say much, but he remembered that he had received 10,000 taels of silver tickets from the prince of Beiyu before...... The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short and soft, so he also lowered his voice and explained: "Bai Gonggong is the chief eunuch of Bingbi during the period of the first emperor, and he is also the chief eunuch of Bingbi and the order of the CRRC government of His Majesty today. ”
After Mu Qiuhuang heard Yan Kun finish speaking, he also had a warning to this Bai You in his heart. Although it is only two short sentences, it is enough to say that this Bai You is not as simple as an ordinary eunuch...... Generally speaking, they are once a son of heaven and a courtier, and few people can go through more than two dynasties, let alone this position is still the son of heaven's chamberlain.
……
……
Tianxiangju has a total of three floors, and the first to third floors are used to entertain guests for dinner, but the reception specifications are different.
On the first floor, there are dozens of tables of eight immortals, which are specially designed for individual customers to come and dine, and there is no threshold for entering as long as there is consumption; The second floor is divided into large and small private rooms, a table and a private room to improve the dining environment and privacy of the guests, but the consumption standard has also been improved, only the consumption amount of 100 taels of silver is eligible to enter the second floor; The third floor is integrated and transparent, surrounded by windows on all sides, in addition to normal dining, there is also a stage, according to the needs of the guests, you can also invite the red sleeves to come over to perform...... It is a large banquet hall integrating eating, drinking and playing, but the consumption is also ridiculously expensive, just to charter the venue will cost a thousand taels of silver, and this cost does not include meals and drinks, generally speaking, except for those dignitaries and nobles, businessmen and wealthy people will be used to set up banquets and gatherings, ordinary people can only be discouraged.
Ji Yan is not an ordinary person, so the venue where he feasted the princes' children was on the third floor of this Tianxiangju, and today he had chartered the entire Tianxiangju.
……
As Ji Yan entered the building, the buddies who were originally sitting there drinking tea and gossiping also stood up one by one.
Mu Qiuhuang glanced at it and found that except for Liu Yiyong of the Haihun Marquis Mansion, who knew him, he didn't know anyone else.
Ji Yan glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Let you wait for a long time, let's get to know each other first, this Lord Yan must not need me to introduce more, everyone should already know each other, right?" ”
Yan Kun arched his hand at everyone and said, "Hello sons, we meet again." ”
Ji Yan pointed to the people present in turn and introduced: "This is Brother Wu, the seventh prince of Nanzhao Hou Mansion, this is Brother Yun, the third son of Yunjiu Marquis Mansion, this is Brother Ximen, the fourth prince of Pingjin Hou Mansion, this is Brother Su, the twelfth prince of Wei Qihou Mansion, and this is Brother Liu, the fourth son of Haihun Marquis. ”
Mu Qiuhuang listened to Ji Yan's introduction, looked around everyone one by one, and began to match these people with the information he had in his heart, "Wu Bi'an of Nanzhao Hou Mansion, Yun Xiao of Yunjiu Hou Mansion, Ximen Dingding of Pingjin Hou Mansion, Su Ruoyun of Wei Qihou Mansion, plus Liu Yiyong of Haihun Marquis Mansion, who I have already known, and Ram Tian Zhu of Xuanping Marquis Mansion who I just met. ”
After introducing them, Ji Yan pointed to Mu Qiuhuang and Ram Tian and introduced them to Mu Qiuhuang: "This is Brother Ram of Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and this is Brother Mu of Beiyu Marquis Mansion. ”
Everyone didn't react much when they heard Ji Yan's introduction of Ram Tianjiao, but when they heard Ji Yan introduce Mu Qiuhuang, they focused all their eyes on Mu Qiuhuang.
In this regard, Mu Qiuhuang is not surprised, although they are both sons of princes, but the identity of the prince is obviously higher than that of ordinary sons of them.
"You are Mu Qiuhuang who killed and crippled the son of the Marquis of Hai Hun?" Ximen Dingding suddenly asked, but there was a look of disbelief on his face.
Wu Bi'an, Yun Xiao, and Su Ruoyun listened to Ximen Dingding's words, and they all looked like they were watching a play, and looked at Mu Qiuhuang and Liu Yiyong with anticipation, and said in their hearts, these two should be regarded as having a grudge, right? Wouldn't the enemies fight first when they meet today?
It's just that it is obvious that he is going to disappoint them, Liu Yiyong stood in place as usual, ignoring Ximen Dingding's words...... And Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly, and explained softly: "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding......
Although Mu Qiuhuang's tone was calm, it was tantamount to admitting what Ximen Dingding had just asked.
Then everyone looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a little more vigilance in their eyes than just now.
Originally, everyone could pass it with a laugh, but who knew that Ximen Dingding actually said again: "It turns out that this thing is true?" ”
After thinking for a while, Ximen Dingding asked at Mu Qiuhuang puzzledly: "However, you have beaten people to death and disabled, can it still be regarded as a misunderstanding?" ”
Then he turned his head to look at Liu Yiyong, and said seriously: "He killed your brother, why didn't you kill him to avenge your brother?" ”
If Ximen Dingding spoke for the first time, everyone still looked relaxed and watching the play, but with the appearance of the successive words behind Ximen Dingding, the atmosphere in the venue instantly became solidified...... Because this is obviously provoking trouble, and it is teasing Mu Qiuhuang and Liu Yiyong at the same time.
Everyone's eyes that were originally on Mu Qiuhuang and Liu Yiyong are now all gathered on Ximen Dingding's body, and they all looked at Ximen Dingding with a surprised face, not understanding why he offended the two families at the same time?
Seeing this, Ji Yan hurriedly stepped forward and changed the topic and said, "Everyone, please go up to the third floor to have some drinks before continuing to talk!" Today, not only are there girls with red sleeves to cheer you up, but Your Majesty has just rewarded you with a few jars of wine......"
Seeing that Ji Yan opened his mouth to play a round, Ram Tian also hurriedly stepped forward and answered: "What did Brother Ji just say?" You also invited a girl with red sleeves? ”
"Exactly, everybody, come upstairs with me." After Ji Yan finished speaking, he took the lead in stepping on the stairs.
Liu Yiyong followed closely, and Ram Tian also followed behind, Wu Bi'an and Yun Xiao glanced at each other, and when they saw that there was no more excitement to see, they also followed upstairs.
Only Yan Kun was still in place, looking at Ximen Dingding and Mu Qiuhuang with a strange face.
"Lord Yan, please." Mu Qiuhuang made an inviting gesture at Yan Kun.
"Mu Gongzi first, please." Yan Kun said politely.
Seeing that Ximen Dingding was still looking serious, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but feel very funny, but he didn't blame Ximen Dingding at all.
Because the intelligence collected by Huang Ling once said that this Ximen Dingding has been mentally incomplete since he was born, although his body continues to grow up, but his mind has always stayed at the age of three or four years old. Besides, what Ximen Dingding said just now, it was the Haihun Marquis Mansion who really offended, and the person who couldn't hold his face was Liu Yiyong instead of him...... As for Liu Yiyong's breath, how can he find Ximen Dingding to vent his anger? That's also the business of the Marquis of Haihun's mansion, not his.
Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang also waved his hand at Ximen Dingding and said, "Brother Ximen, please." ”
When Ximen Dingding heard this, he looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a puzzled expression and said, "You look very polite!" It's not as brutal and rough as the legend, and likes to cause trouble! …… I see, you must have killed his brother because his brother provoked him first, right? ”
Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ximen Dingding's words, gave a thumbs up to Ximen Dingding, and said, "Yes, what you said is really right." ”
