Chapter 191: Harness
It's just that Zhong Daxuan himself feels awkward, as if it is difficult to control.
"Brother Da Xu, I'll just say it, listen to me. Look at you, as soon as you put on this gray satin robe, the whole person looks a hundred times more energetic; So you must not take off this satin robe behind my back, you must wear it to the feast! Yu Yin repeatedly emphasized to Zhong Daxuan.
The time to wait for the banquet was undoubtedly difficult, and Zhong Daxuan continued to sit in front of several cases, drinking tea alone, one by one, between brewing and brewing, but he still couldn't taste it.
Even when he was a guest at Fuling Jinhong Shuixin Fort not long ago, Zhong Daxuan was busy all day long, either following Yu Yin to win people's hearts one by one, or going to the Chunhe Building of the annex to help the disciples who were hundreds of miles deep to choose herbs, dry herbs, and pound herbs; At this time, Zhong Daxuan had nothing to do, the palace people were all doing their jobs, and he couldn't intervene at all.
Zhong Daxuan squeezed, struggling, and finally managed to reach noon, and Yu Yin came to pick him up as promised and went to the Hefen Hall for a banquet.
In a few moments, in front of the Hefen Hall of the Qi King City, Zhong Daxuan, who had not yet stepped into the Hefen Palace, had already seen from afar that Liang Anzu of the Qi Wanggu was sitting on the throne, and there was a row of feasts on both sides of the hall, and the princes and ministers sat on the ground in turn.
A moment later, Zhong Daxuan, who had already entered the Hefen Hall, faced the tall Qiwang Gu Liang Anzu, and his heart became more and more cramped and uneasy. is not only because of the disparity in status, but also because it is Gu Liangyin's father who is sitting above, not Yu Yin's father.
But is there a difference between the two? It may not be different from others; But for Zhong Daxuan, the difference is very big!
One is a high-powered King Qi, and the other is a scattered person who walks the rivers and lakes, and it stands to reason that Zhong Daxuan should bow down to Gu Liang Anzu. But Zhong Daxuan couldn't bend this knee, so he had to bow deeply to Gu Liang Anzu, and then bowed to the princes and ministers present one by one, and then sat down with Yu Yin.
The reason why Zhong Daxuan is difficult to bow to Gu Liang Anzu is because he still subconsciously thinks that he is just a guest at a friend's house, how can there be a reason for a guest to kowtow first when he enters the door? Fortunately, Gu Liang Anzu didn't mind, and still greeted Zhong Daxuan with a smile.
And it was Gu Liang Anzu's endless smiling face that surprised Zhong Daxuan. In fact, not only Gu Liang Anzu, but also the performance of everyone in the city of King Qi, as well as the atmosphere in this palace, surprised Zhong Daxuan.
The reason why Zhong Daxuan has such a psychology is because Gu Liangsheng, the princess of Qi Kingdom, has just passed away! Why did all the people here, including her father, not show the slightest sorrow and sorrow, but even feasted with great fanfare, laughing unbridledly?
Zhong Daxuan thought to himself: Although people can't be resurrected after death, and sadness and pain are useless, it won't be as if nothing happened, completely unmoved. Could it be that they hide their sorrow and sorrow deep in their hearts?
Even so, Zhong Daxuan still felt that the people in this royal city, inside and outside the palace, were cold!
After Zhong Daxuan sat down in a cramped and restrained manner, the first thing Gu Liang Anzu said to Zhong Daxuan was: "Zhong Gongzi, I heard that you once saved the life of the dog, but is there such a thing?" ”
When Zhong Daxuan heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed. He had imagined many scenarios, but he didn't expect Gu Liang Anzu to ask about it as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhong Daxuan thought to himself: Anyway, everything that happened in this Qi King City greatly surprised me, not to mention that at the moment, it was just a casual question from the Qi King.
"Back to the king's words, there is indeed such a thing, but it is not a life-saving." Zhong Daxuan responded to Gu Liang Anzudao.
"Why?" Gu Liang Anzu asked Zhong Daxuan inexplicably.
"That's because in the Celestial Empire, in the Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Castle, everyone protects your son; What's more, the person with the knife has a clear conscience, even if he hurts your son, it is just a skin injury, or his life will naturally not be able to save his life. And the reason why I took this knife for your son is just that I am subconsciously fulfilling my promise. Zhong Daxuan responded to Gu Liang Anzu.
"What promise?" Gu Liang Anzu asked Zhong Daxuan curiously.
"Eleven years ago, I promised your son that I would not let him be harmed in the slightest." Zhong Daxuan replied truthfully.
The reason why Zhong Daxuan answered in such detail, even explaining the time and year, was because he intended to show off his great relationship with Yu Yin to Gu Liang Anzu and everyone in the palace.
"I see, anyway, Zhong Gongzi, after all, you have suffered for the dog, no wonder the dog will say all your good things in front of Lone." Gu Liang Anzu still said to Zhong Daxuan with a smile on his face.
When Zhong Daxuan heard this, he thought: It turns out that what King Qi cares about is not the friendship between me and his son, but whether I deserve this special treatment; Maybe in the eyes of King Qi, the friendship between me and Yu Yin is worthless!
"Zhong Gongzi, I haven't heard the dog mention this matter, so I wonder if you are also as proficient in music and rhythm as the dog?" Gu Liang Anzu deliberately made things difficult for Zhong Daxuan.
Zhong Daxuan, who suddenly felt ashamed of himself, still replied stubbornly: "Back to the king's words, don't say that I am proficient, I simply don't know anything about music." ”
"I don't know anything!" Gu Liang Anzu deliberately emphasized it in a fuss, and then pretended to be confused and asked Zhong Daxuan again and again, "Then what do you talk about with dogs on weekdays?" Will you have a common language? ”
When Zhong Daxuan heard this, he blushed in an instant.
couldn't listen to Gu Liang Anzu's frequent troubles with Zhong Daxuan's Yu Yin, so he suddenly interjected: "Father, you know, in front of familiar people, I have always been a chatter; What's more, in front of my eldest brother, I have endless words. Fortunately, Brother Da Xuan did not think I was annoying, he not only listened carefully to my every word and word, but also was willing to talk with me in a wide range of ways; And every word he says, every word, no matter which side it is about, I also like to listen to it, and I never get tired of hearing it. ”
Yu Yin said to his father categorically that he liked to listen to every word and word that Zhong Daxuan said, no matter which side it was about, he never got tired of listening to it.
This wonderful-for-tat response, while full of strong strength, also contains a very close and lingering friendship, which made Gu Liang Anzu, who was still aggressive, speechless for a moment.
And Zhong Daxuan at this moment, not to mention how grateful Yu Yinken is for standing up and helping him speak! Of course, not only gratitude, but also emotion.
The banquet was held in such an orderly manner, and Gu Liang Anzu, who had slowed down a little, opened his mouth again and asked Zhong Daxuan: "Hey, by the way, Zhong Gongzi, this is the first time you have come to our Qi country?" ”
"Yes, my lord, it is indeed my first time to come to the country of Qi." Zhong Daxuan replied respectfully and politely.
"Then how long do you plan to stay in our Qi country, Young Master Zhong?" Gu Liang Anzu asked Zhong Daxuan.
When Zhong Daxuan heard this, he was immediately at a loss.
In the past, even if Zhong Daxuan had been lying in Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Fort for no reason, even if the head of Jin Hong Water Heart Fort was still a profit-hungry Baili Yuan at that time, no one had ever disliked him, and no one had ever questioned when he would leave, and no one had indirectly ordered him to be expelled.
But now? Zhong Daxuan, who had only been in Qi Country for a day and a night, really didn't know how to answer Gu Liang Anzu's question; Fortunately, Yu Yin, who was on the side, would always stand up for Zhong Daxuan as soon as possible.
I only heard Yu Yin firmly say to his father Gu Liang Anzu: "Father, how can you ask when people will leave when a guest has just arrived?" Besides, Brother Da Xuan is not only a guest of our Qi country, but also my family! Where I am, Brother Da Xuan will be there; As long as I stay, Brother Da Xuan will naturally stay as long as I want. ”
"In this way, Gongzi Zhong, you are going to stay in our palace for a long time. Anyway, then the lonely will look at your sake, reward you for being an official, and you can choose any position in the palace. Gu Liang Anzu pretended to be generous and said to Zhong Daxuan.
I have to say that Gu Liang Anzu's tone when he said this inevitably gave people a sense of wealth and bullying.
When Zhong Daxuan heard this, he couldn't control his emotions for a while, and he didn't even fall behind and responded to Gu Liang Anzu: "King, officials are law enforcers, and being an official means handling cases according to law and acting according to the law. In this way, how can I become an official? ”
However, although Zhong Daxuan's words were beautiful, but as soon as the words fell, not to mention how everyone in this hall thought of him, even Zhong Daxuan himself felt embarrassed. Because of the implication of his words, anyone who hears it will think that he obviously doesn't want to do things, and only wants to eat white food!
Although Gu Liang Anzu did not continue to make things difficult for Zhong Daxuan, the atmosphere of the dining afterwards was also very embarrassing, so that no matter how good the dishes were, they became tasteless in Zhong Daxuan's mouth; So much so that Zhong Daxuan didn't know what kind of food he stuffed into his mouth; So much so that Zhong Daxuan didn't know whether he had eaten or not.
Maybe it started from this moment, or maybe it started from the moment Zhong Daxuan stepped into King Qi City, chaos, confusion, confusion, and helplessness will become the normal life of Zhong Daxuan in King Qi City.
At this moment, the banquet in the hall of the Qi King City was still going on, and Zhong Daxuan, who was sitting next to Yu Yin, could always receive the approving glances and cordial smiles from the princes and ministers from time to time.
