Chapter 116: Meet the King of the East China Sea

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was known to be a virtuous person, and he was good at making friends with people from outside the court, and his mansion was easy to enter, as long as he reported his name, and this person was a person he was interested in, he would meet him, and entertain him with good wine and meat, and if he could talk with the visitor very happily, he would invite him as a guest and get together often. Sima Yue has a lot of guests, and the Donghai Wangfu is even more crowded, and there are many well-known talents in the Jin Dynasty who come and go, so the reputation of the Donghai King is also spreading farther and farther, resulting in no matter how far or near, the conceited and talented people have to go to the Donghai Wangfu and see the Donghai Wangfu.

Therefore, Feng Hang didn't make much effort to see the King of the East China Sea, and sent the worship sticker tightly, and it didn't take long for someone to personally lead Feng Hang to see the King of the East China Sea. Sima Yue has a long figure, slightly thin, a long face, sunken cheeks, a silver crown on his head, but the amount of hair is sparse, and the temples are also a little white. Different from his somewhat old face, Sima Yue's eyes were very bright, especially when he saw Feng Hang, the light flashing in his eyes once moved Feng Hang a little.

Feng Hang didn't salute yet, Sima Yue greeted him first, he quickly supported Feng Hang with both hands, stopped him from saluting, and laughed: "Feng Guoshi, this king has admired his name for a long time, and there is no need to be polite when you come to me." ”

Feng Hang still gave Sima Yue a look and said, "The prince carries love, and the grass people are afraid. ”

Sima Yue smiled and pulled Feng Hang to sit down on both sides of a table, scooped tea for him with his own hands, and said: "Mr. is from the East China Sea, I have lived in this East China Sea for a long time, in fact, I have always wanted to see Mr. side, but Mr. is the dragon and phoenix, I don't want to stay in this small place, this king wants to see but can't see, has always had regrets, today the next person sent a worship sticker, I thought I was dazzled, I looked at it three times to determine that it was Mr., my heart was simply ecstatic." ”

Sima Yue is a prince, this can be said to be extremely elevated Feng Hang, but Feng Hang doesn't quite understand, he has a reputation, but in the final analysis, he is a fortune teller, and he doesn't have Dongfang Hui's talent and reputation, so it really won't make a prince love so much. After only thinking about it for a while, Feng Hang had a number in his heart.

"The prince has lived in the East China Sea for a long time, and His Majesty misses it very much, and this time the minister returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and was entrusted by His Majesty to visit the prince." Feng Hang took out a gift slip from his arms and saluted Sima Yue, and said, "Your Majesty has prepared some gifts, and I also ask the prince to smile." ”

Sima Yue looked at the gift list, in addition to gold and silver, there were also precious medicinal materials and high-grade silk, this gift was not clear. Sima Yue hurriedly got up, and knelt down in the direction where Luoyang City was located and said, "Minister, Sima Yue bows to thank the Holy Grace." ”

Feng Hang picked up Sima Yue and said, "Your Majesty has confessed, this is a gift from him to your brother, not a reward, so you don't need to thank you." ”

"Your Majesty is far away in the capital, and he has not forgotten Weichen, and Weichen is grateful." After Sima Yue finished speaking, he asked Feng Hang to sit down again.

The two drank tea, talked about the customs of the East China Sea, and talked about some interesting things about the DPRK and China and the personnel changes in the capital, until the banquet prepared by Sima Yue for Feng Hang began, and the two did not start any other topics.

Sima Yue's master and several protΓ©gΓ©s sat with him during the banquet, and after introducing them one by one, the banquet began. The master was a self-cooked, and before he had eaten a few bites of the meal, he walked to Feng Hang's side with a glass of wine and said: "Mr. Jiuwen's name, Lu is fortunate to see Mr. Sansheng today, borrow a glass of water and wine from the prince, and hope to talk with Mr. in the future." After Master Lu finished speaking, he raised his face and drank all the wine in the cup into his stomach.

Feng Hang didn't speak, just raised the cup slightly to show a little respect, and also raised his face and drank the wine.

When several protΓ©gΓ©s saw Master Lu open this wine mouth, they got up one after another and persuaded a glass of water and wine into Feng Hang's stomach. Feng Hang did not refuse, he had long known that Sima Yue's disciples were not simple people, and those who could accompany him at this table today should not be unknown people.

Sure enough, Sima Yue pointed to the first young man who toasted Feng Hang and said, "This is Mr. Wu Shang, Mr. Wu is the owner of Jiangnan Silk Factory, he has had some business contacts in the East China Sea recently, and he lives in my house." Feng Hang gave Wu Shang a shallow salute, and the other party quickly returned the salute.

The second middle-aged man who toasted was surnamed Bu, Mr. Bu was also a businessman, mainly selling silk and porcelain to Goguryeo, and then bringing back ginseng and deer antler velvet from Goguryeo to sell to the Central Plains.

"Mr. Bu?" Feng Hang's heart moved, and after saluting Mr. Bu, he asked cautiously: "Mr. Bu is doing business in Goguryeo, I don't know if you can know a young descendant surnamed Liu, who is named Yao?" ”

Mr. Bu looked slightly stunned and said, "It's the son-in-law, do you know him?" ”

Feng Hang nodded with a smile and said, "Old acquaintance, I remember that he married the Bu family in Goguryeo, so I was curious to ask, but I didn't expect it to be Mr.'s son-in-law." ”

Mr. Bu laughed a few times, picked up his glass again and clinked glasses with Feng Hang, and said happily: "I really didn't expect my son-in-law to get acquainted with someone like Mr. ”

"Awards, awards." Feng Hang bowed his head and said modestly. Think

The third toast of the young man surnamed Chen, Mr. Chen is a scholar, he is very good at books, a subset of history, anecdotes, he likes them all, and also writes a good article, it is talented, he is a native of Hedong County, at the age of twelve and the local Confucianism all over the courtesy, neither humble nor arrogant, a debate became famous.

The fourth toast was a sturdy man, he was older, he seemed to have reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, this person's surname was Wu Zheng, and he was the commander of the army of Sima Yue, the king of Changsha, and all Sima Yue's soldiers and horses belonged to him. Wu Zheng has loved to practice martial arts since he was a child, and when he didn't know a few big characters, he held the book of soldiers every day to read, and once led the troops to pursue the pirates, went to 300 people, killed more than 80 enemies, and the remaining nearly 500 people were all captured by him and returned. Sima Yue relied on Wu Zheng very much, and he also trusted him very much, and rarely asked him about leading troops.

The person next to Wu Zheng is Wu Ke, is Wu Zheng's eldest son, he looks like his father, but also quite his father's style, whether leading troops or fighting is a good hand, once led troops to exterminate the bandits, the bandits were all exterminated, but he did not have a single casualty, since that battle, Sima Yue admired him very much, his father took him wherever he went, he is now in the army as a deputy general, is Wu Zheng's right-hand man.

These are the people present, Feng Hang saluted one by one, and praised Sima Yue from the bottom of his heart: "It is said that the prince's protΓ©gΓ©s are full of talents, and they really live up to their reputation when they see it today." ”

"Mr. has won the award," Sima Yue said: "Although I am favored by you here, but there is one less talent like Mr., Mr. is in Luoyang and Chang'an all the year round, but Mr. is proficient in I Ching gossip, word telling, astronomy and geography, but I have no talent like you here." ”

As soon as Sima Yue's voice fell, Mr. Wu Shang said aloud: "I have always known the name of Mr., I heard that everyone who has been criticized by him is impressed, I don't know if there is such an honor in the next place today, please give me a test?" ”

Feng Hang hurriedly said: "The world loves people, and they are ashamed to be ashamed, but I have read basic idle books, and I only have a little research on word measurement and fortune telling." ”

Wu Shang immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper, he thought for a moment, wrote "silk" on the paper, and said: "I am doing business below, so I will write the word 'silk' today, and ask Mr. to judge." ”

Feng Hang glanced at it and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Wu wants to ask?" ”

"What do you think, sir?" Wu Shang did not answer, but asked Feng Hang rhetorically.

Feng Hang smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Wu seems to have suffered a little setback in his business, so he wants to ask about the prospects of his business and whether he can get out of trouble?" ”

Wu Shang's face changed, and he hurriedly gave Feng Hang a look and asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"The so-called silk is like a silk stumbling block, and it is connected to the main stream of things." Feng Hang said: "Mr. chose this word to first explain that your business is not going well, and then look at the other half, not to mention that the handwriting is sloppy, obviously caused by your confusion, and then the other half of your word, the lower part of the word Zhou does not close, but you lengthen the word 'mouth' horizontally, almost sealing the lower part, this 'Ji' is trapped, can there be good?" ”

"Sir, God counts." Wu Shang hurriedly saluted and asked, "I wonder if Mr. has a solution?" ”

Feng Hang looked at Sima Yue and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, don't worry, presumably the prince has already planned." ”

Wu Shang looked at Sima Yue, a little unbelievable, he was trapped in business, three days ago he came to the East China Sea to see the king of the East China Sea, and after showing him the predicament, he planned to borrow some silver money to turnover, but Sima Yue was vague and refused to spit out, just when he was disheartened, he was invited by him to participate in this inexplicable banquet, I heard that the banquet was a fortune teller in the capital, Feng Hang's name he had heard a little, but he didn't believe it, if he didn't dare to offend the prince, he would never come to this inexplicable banquet, Who would have thought that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, this gentleman does seem to have some means.

Sima Yue looked at Wu Shang with a smile and said: "Sir, don't worry, you are my doorman, how can I not save me from death, I have already asked people to go to Jiangnan with Yinliang, you can rest assured, I will solve the business dilemma for you." ”

Wu Shang was taken aback, quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Sima Yue, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your great kindness, when the predicament of the grass people is solved, he will definitely repay the silver taels lent by the prince three times." ”

"I didn't even let you make a note, do you care if you don't pay back the money?" Sima Yue motioned for Wu Shang to get up, and asked him to sit back in his place, and then said to Feng Hang: "Mr. Shenari really deserves his reputation, so why don't you let this king guess what class Mr. came to me today?" ”

Feng Hang clenched his fists and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, smiled slightly, and said word by word: "Sir wants me to lead troops into Beijing to help the king of Changsha." ”
