Chapter 16: Lees
The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Gao got off the carriage, stood in the Prime Minister's Mansion and did not move, the old lady was helped off the carriage by the maidservant, the old lady looked at Zhao Gao who was standing motionless, and said slowly: "Since you are here, don't keep a straight face." ”
Zhao Gao listened to his mother's words, followed his mother's footsteps into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xiao Si of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw Zhao Gao and others coming in, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Is it Zhao Gongzi?" ”
"Hmm." Zhao Gao nodded slightly.
"Zhao Gongzi, the Prime Minister ordered the villain to wait here to greet Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi, please come with the little one." Xiao Si said respectfully to Zhao Gao, and made a gesture of please.
"Lead the way." Zhao Gao didn't ask much, anyway, he had already entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, so let's see what Li Si wanted to do.
Zhao Gao and his mother followed Xiao Si all the way to the back garden, it may be that Zhao Gao has been thinking about things and didn't notice that it has arrived, just as Xiao Si was about to speak, Zhao Gao accidentally bumped into a woman with a footstep.
"I'm sorry." Zhao Gao quickly grabbed the woman and asked, "Girl, are you okay?" ”
"Who are you, don't you have eyes? Dare to hit Miss Ben. Then the woman shook off Zhao Gao's hand and shouted in a sharp voice.
"Fourth Miss, this is the prime minister's guest at a banquet." The fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is notoriously rude and willful, Xiao Si saw that Zhao Gao provoked this ancestor, thinking about Cheng's explanation to himself, so he said stubbornly.
"Smack." As soon as Xiao Si's words fell, a loud slap fell on Xiao Si's face, and suddenly a red slap mark appeared on Xiao Si's face.
Xiao Si was slapped by the fourth miss, and was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, and said with a trembling body: "Fourth miss spare your life, fourth miss spare your life." Xiao Si's forehead immediately oozed blood.
"What are you, who allowed you to talk to me?" The fourth young lady stared at Xiao Si who was kowtowing condescendingly and said, as if she didn't see Xiao Si's flesh and blood were blurred.
Xiao Si was so frightened that he couldn't speak after listening to Miss Four's words, and he kept kneeling where to kowtow, Xiao Si understood Miss Four's temperament, if he didn't give Miss Four out of anger now, he would be better off dead in the future.
Zhao Gao didn't know so much, but when he saw Xiao Si's flesh and blood kowtowing, he couldn't help but say: "How can you be so unreasonable as a woman, I have already apologized to you, why are you still unforgiving." ”
"Who are you? Dare to talk to me like this, believe it or not I let my father cut off your head. The fourth lady listened to Zhao Gao's words, with a rude and willful expression, stared at Zhao Gao and said.
"I'm just a common man, and it's not worth advancing in front of the fourth lady." Zhao Gao was reluctant to tell the fourth lady his name, so he said lightly.
"How can you, an ordinary person, enter my prime minister's mansion, come to someone, and drive them out for me." The fourth lady pointed at Zhao Gao and said fiercely.
"Fourth Miss." The old lady who was standing aside and didn't speak saw that the fourth lady dared to go by herself, so she slowly said, "We are here at the invitation of the Prime Minister. ”
"Is my father old and confused? Everyone is invited to the house. The fourth lady listened to the old lady's words, frowned and said.
"Yue'er, Hugh is rude." At this time, a voice appeared behind Zhao Gao.
"Father." When the fourth lady saw someone coming, she immediately greeted her and said coquettishly: "Father, he bullied me, you have to make decisions for me." ”
"Yue'er, don't mess around." Li Si said reproachfully, but there was no reproach on his face, Li Si made a salute to the old lady, and then said: "Don't blame the old lady, the little girl is spoiled and doesn't know what to do." ”
"The Prime Minister is polite, the fourth lady has a straightforward personality, how can the old body blame her." The old lady looked at Li Si and wanted to salute herself, and immediately said.
"Hmph." The fourth lady looked at the old lady and turned her face.
"Old lady, let's take a seat." Seeing that his daughter turned her face, Li Si could only smile at the old lady and say, and said to the little girl who had been kowtowing: "Get up, get blood on a good day, and don't get down." ”
"Lord Xie spare your life, Lord Xie spare your life......" The little guy listened to Li Si's words, immediately kowtowed and thanked him, and then retreated in fear.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." The old lady saluted Li Si respectfully, and Zhao Gao looked at it from the side, and it was not a taste in his heart.
"Old lady, please, Zhao Gongzi, please." Li Si also said politely.
"Prime Minister, please." The old lady hurriedly responded.
Zhao Gao watched silently on the side, did not speak, just followed his mother and Li Si into the table, Li Si just walked in, the dignitaries and nobles inside immediately surrounded him, Zhao Gao looked at this group of people who usually have eyes above the top, but now they are full of smiles, flattering in front of a person, Zhao Gao sneered at them in his heart, Zhao Gao found a remote corner to sit down, thinking about being quiet and not attracting the attention of others.
After Li Si said a few words to the others, he walked to the main seat and sat down, and the others also returned to their positions and sat down, the old lady did next to Zhao Gao, this time she did not say that Zhao Gao picked such a position, looking at the people present, the old lady said to Zhao Gao: "When you have a chance, you can behave well, so that the prime minister can take a fancy to you." ”
"Mother, I came here today, it's already the limit, I won't do anything else." Zhao Gao listened to the old lady's words and didn't want to quarrel with his mother here, so he said lightly.
"Huh?" Li Si, who was sitting on the main seat, looked around at this time and asked, "What about the old lady and Brother Zhao?" ”
After listening to Li Si's words, everyone immediately looked around curiously, wanting to see the person named by the prime minister, and the old lady heard that Li Si was looking for herself, so she immediately stood up slowly and saluted: "Prime Minister, the old man is here." ”
"Yo." Li Si saw the old lady standing up in the most remote corner, and immediately said, "How did the old lady and Brother Zhao get to that corner?" ”
"Prime Minister, the old man and the dog can sit here." The old lady replied.
"How can this be, you are my honored guest, how can I let you sit there?" Li Si looked at the old lady with a smile and said, then turned his head and shouted to the little girl: "Still stunned, hurry up and arrange a table for the old lady and Brother Zhao next to me." ”
"Yes, sir." The servants listened to Li Si's words, and quickly put the table and prepared delicious food and wine.
"Old lady, Brother Zhao, please take it." Li Si looked at the old lady and Zhao Gao, and said with a smile, if it weren't for Zhao Gao knowing what kind of person Li Si was, he might really think that this person with a smile on his face was an approachable and good person.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." The old lady saluted respectfully to Li Si and said, and warned Zhao Gao with her eyes not to mess around.
Zhao Gao sat down with the old lady to the table closest to Li Si, and everyone present stared at the old lady and Zhao Gao with curiosity, thinking in their hearts, what kind of people these two people could make the prime minister look at like this, and they were already thinking of making friends.
The banquet began, everyone chatted while drinking, but most of the chatting was compliments to Li Si, Zhao Gao looked at the faces of this group of people, and the infinite disgust in his heart, Zhao Gao himself and his own wine, did not say a word.
Li Si, who was sitting on the main seat, had secretly observed Zhao Gao for a long time, Li Si found that Zhao Gao did not flatter himself like others, and suddenly became more interested in Zhao Gao, Li Si didn't believe it, there are still people in this world who are not interested in power and status, so Li Si said to Zhao Gao: "Why don't Brother Zhao say yes, is this wine and food not like Brother Zhao?" ”
Zhao Gao didn't want to pay attention to Li Si, but his mother kept warning him with her eyes, Zhao Gao put on a smile and said, "The villain is a civilian, how dare he open his mouth." ”
"Brother Zhao, as I said, I value Brother Zhao very much, if Brother Zhao is willing, the high-ranking official is yours." Li Si listened to Zhao Gao's words, but he was not angry, and still said with a smile.
"Thank you Prime Minister for your love, the grass people are lazy, and their ambition is not here." Zhao Gao directly rejected Li Si, and the old lady on the side didn't have time to say anything, so she could only stare at Zhao Gao dryly, her eyes full of anger.
"Brother Zhao, so frank, Prime Minister Ben admires, if one day, Brother Zhao can figure it out and come to Prime Minister Ben, and the high-ranking officials are still valid." Li Si looked at Zhao Gao and said with a smile on his face.
But Zhao Gao knew that Li Si was not really in school, although Li Si had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, and Zhao Gao didn't want to really annoy Li Si here, so he also raised the wine glass in his hand to Li Si with a smile and said: "Thank you Prime Minister for your love, and the grass people respect Lord with a glass." Zhao Gao said, and drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp.
"Hahaha, okay, Brother Zhao is happy." When Li Si saw that Zhao Gao had drunk, he drank the wine from the wine glass in his hand, let out a laugh, and said to everyone: "Come on, come on, you don't have to be so restrained, drink." ”
The people present listened to Li Si's words, immediately raised their wine glasses, and greeted Li Si with a smile on their faces to drink, Zhao Gao didn't say anything anymore when he saw this, but in the drinking room, Zhao Gao saw Li Si's eyes skimming his body, that look, Zhao Gao felt that Li Si invited himself to see it today just to test himself, and he intended to win himself over.
Li Si saw that Zhao Gao found that he was looking at him, and he did not shy away from it, but raised his wine glass to Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao saw this, and also raised the wine glass to Li Si with a smile and drank it all, Zhao Gao thought, he would brake with silence to see what tricks this Li Si still had.
The people at this banquet all had their own thoughts and planned for their own interests, but their faces were full of smiles and flattery to others.
This banquet is divided into two sides, generally presided over by Li Si, who is waiting for Zhao Gao, and on the other side is the fourth miss who has met with Zhao Gao who has been arrogant and domineering, although the fourth miss is arrogant and domineering, but she is Li Si's favorite daughter, so everyone has always sought after Miss Four, so as to get the prime minister's reuse.
