As night fell, Zhang's Mansion was completely transformed into a mansion that existed for banquets.

One by one, the servants and maids went back and forth in the cloister.

Chefs are busy in the backyard kitchen.

Dozens of singers, in the wings of the backyard, are preparing.

Dozens of musical instruments were also moved from Yang's Mansion, and more than a dozen musicians were placed on the screen behind the living room of Zhang's Mansion.

And Yang Sun, like a hostess, commands and coordinates everything in the middle.

Everything was in order, under her command.

Zhang Yue was also a little embarrassed when he saw it.

This banquet has taught him a lot.

It also made him understand how expensive the banquet of the nobles of the Han family was!

Not to mention, just those singers, musicians and cooks, even Zhang Yue sold himself, and he probably couldn't scrape together enough money to support them......

"It's not easy to live in Chang'an!" Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he was also very curious, how could those families who liked to hold banquets every once in a while, and invite dozens or hundreds of noble ministers at a time, afford such a price?

I'm afraid that these so-called banquets are just a cover.

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Yue took people to the door and prepared to greet the guests.

It had just been nightfall, and the first guest had already arrived by car.

"The ...... of the servant in the middle of the house" Yu Jiyan walked down from the carriage from a distance, and came to Zhang Yue with a few retainers holding gift boxes, and bowed respectfully and said: "The lower official heard that the servant is going to travel far away, and he is here to practice for the servant of the prince, and I hope that the flag of the servant will be victorious and show great ambitions!" ”

"Thank you Yu Gong!" Zhang Yue stepped forward to help Yu Jiyan and said, "Please also ask Yu Gong to enter ......."

Yu Jiyan bowed again and said: "Just a small courtesy, I would like to practice ...... for the servant"

The retainers held the gift box and sent it to the subordinates behind Zhang Yue.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue hurriedly smiled and said, "Yu Gong bothered ......"

but unceremoniously accepted the other party's gift.

Yu Jiyan was as happy as the New Year, humming a little song, taking his retainers, and under the guidance of Tian Miao, he entered Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Yue looked at Yu Jiyan's back, and he already had a plan in his heart.

Tomorrow, Your Majesty may be able to say a few good words to him in front of you.

At least, stabilize the position of Jing Zhaoyin in Jiyan first, and then make other plans when he returns to Beijing!

After Yu Jiyan, the guests who came were a little surprised.

"It's good to be in the wait......" Guanglu Xun Han said and walked down from the carriage, his face was a little old-fashioned, and he didn't look smiling, which made Zhang Yue look a little mad.

I don't know what medicine Han said he took wrong?

It is said that this Guangluxun is a well-known smiling tiger in Chang'an City.

One set in front of him, a knife in the back, it's him.

Even if he was given a forgiveness hat, he shouldn't be like this?

However, the two young people who followed Han said, when they saw Zhang Yue, their eyes immediately lit up, and they stepped forward to worship and said: "Han Wen, Han Xing, meet the Duke of Shizhong, and wish the Duke of Ming and the Marquis of Wandai!" ”

As soon as the two brothers looked at each other, a retainer presented two gift boxes.

One of them is particularly eye-catching.

Because, it's a copper box.

Han utensils, with copper as a box, are very rare!

Because, copper is very precious.

Apart from gold, copper is the strongest metal.

Even, some of the brass in good condition can be used to make counterfeit gold.

"This is a gift prepared by the sister for the waiter......" Han Xing came up and introduced the copper box like a treasure: "Last time, I was not abandoned in the service, and I made a move in person, and the sister was very grateful, so I ordered my brother to bring this gift, and I hope to ......cherish it in the service."

Zhang Yue listened and felt a little strange.

It is said that I helped last time, and the other party should also give gifts and thanks.

It's just that......

What the hell is cherished?

It's like I've become a loser?

Zhang Yue scratched his head, but still accepted it, and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

Han Xing immediately nodded happily and said, "Thank you, the kid must tell the sister-in-law......"

Han on the side said, his face darkened.

snorted and said, "Zhang Shizhong, please love yourself......"

Zhang Yueleng, what do you love?

It's just that because of the situation, it's not good to ask face-to-face, so he smiled and said, "Guangluxun's teachings must be kept in mind in the future......"

"Humph!" Han Shuo waved his sleeves and stepped forward, not wanting to talk to this guy anymore.

Seeing this, Han Wen and Han Xing hurriedly confessed to Zhang Yue and said: "My father has been depressed recently, and I hope that the servants will forgive me......"

Depression?

Zhang Yue didn't know much about it, and he didn't think that Han Shuo looked like he would be depressed.

It's just that this façade is still needed.

So he nodded and said, "It's okay, two sons, please!" ”

After sending Han Shuo's father and son into the mansion, it didn't take long for a large group of carriages to come in front of him.

Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped forward.

However, it was Huo Guang, Jin Riyan, Shangguan Ji, Sang Hongyang, Storm Shengzhi, Zhang Anshi and others who came together.

These are all Zhang Yue's 'good friends'.

"Thank you brothers for not giving up, the younger brother is deeply honored......," Zhang Yue smiled and bowed.

"Brother Xian is polite...... everyone stepped forward and returned the salute, Jin Riyan stepped forward and said to Zhang Yue: "Brother Xian has traveled far for state affairs this time, and we have nothing to help us, I am deeply ashamed, so I prepared some small gifts, and asked Brother Xian not to shirk ......"

As he spoke, more than a dozen retainers walked out from behind them, each holding a large and small gift box.

There was even a large box that was brought in.

Jin Riyan stepped forward and opened it, revealing what was contained inside, but it was a set of top-grade fish scale armor and an iron armor of the Han family.

And it's different from the fish scale armor worn by ordinary generals.

This set of armor, between the blades, is inlaid with gold plates.

That's a bit too extravagant!

Moreover, it is too conspicuous.

But......

Zhang Yue likes it very much!

In fact, the Son of Heaven also gave him three sets of armor.

It's just that they are all standard generals' armor, not like this, worn on the body, so that everyone can know who the owner of the armor is?

On this trip, you really need such a set of armor!

Zhang Yue was flattered and thanked: "Brother's good intentions, the kid can't repay it!" ”

Jin Riyan listened, laughed, and said, "It's good if the virtuous brother likes it!" ”

Huo Guang and the others were also smiling.

The relationship between them and Zhang Yue is now almost a political ally.

Now, Zhang Yue has officially embarked on the journey, which is excellent news for them.

Because this shows that Zhang Yue will not compete with them from now on.

This huge court finally has room for them to show.

Otherwise, if Zhang Yue stayed in Chang'an......

Just like the last time I talked about governing the river, everything will be robbed by this capable and favored virtuous brother!

It's really uncomfortable!

asked people to accept the gifts of the eldest brothers, and Zhang Yue personally sent the brothers into the mansion, and asked Tian Miao to serve him well before coming back to continue to welcome the guests.

In the next half hour, guests came one after another.

Basically, they are all Chang'an Jiuqing and Liehou's first-class.

Of course, there were also court eunuchs who sent people to send gifts.

Even Empress Wei sent someone to send five hundred gold, which is also a common practice, and every time a general goes on an expedition, the queen will send someone to send a reward.

It's just that Zhang Yue got a lot of gift money.

It can even be compared to the reward Huo Qu received when he set out on the expedition.

Zhang Yue was naturally sincerely frightened and thanked him.

When night falls and the stars shine.

Prime Minister Liu Quyu is finally late.

Almost like pinching his watch, he came to Zhang's Mansion before the time limit arrived.

"Waiting......" Liu Quyu stepped out of the carriage, came to Zhang Yue, bowed slightly to Zhang Yue, and then said: "The matter of the south of the scene, please serve in the middle!" ”

Zhang Yue looked at it and hurriedly bowed: "The prime minister's entrustment, dare not remember?" ”

But it is almost understood that Liu Quyu will not enter the house.

This is also normal, he is the prime minister!

Since Zhuang Qingzhai, the most powerful prime minister of the Han family!

The prime minister, who is determined to be on a par with Gongsun Hong, naturally has to put up a shelf and put on a score.

And......

His in-law is Li Guangli, and it is unlikely that he will have any intimate relationship or close contact with Zhang Yue.

To tell the truth, Liu Quyu didn't stumble on Zhang Yue, and Zhang Yue was already very grateful.

Liu Quyu did enough work, and said to Zhang Yue: "I originally wanted to stay drunk with you tonight, but I was entangled in trivial matters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I won't bother the servants......"

Zhang Yue hurriedly bowed and said: "The prime minister can come, he is already contemptible......"

"Well......" Liu Quyu looked at Zhang Yue, and suddenly said: "Actually, Hai Xihou admires Shizhong very much......

"General of the Second Division, contemptible people have always been respected!" Zhang Yue replied: "The state affairs are difficult, you know, I know, and the general knows!" ”

Since the beginning of the Taichu, if there is no Li Guangli, he will sit in Juyan and confront the Xiongnu.

I'm afraid it's going to be bad!

Because, in the past ten years, the generals of the Han family have fallen into a shortage of success.

The new generation is far from growing up.

The older generation of famous generals has withered.

From the Dawan War, to the Battle of Tianshan, the Battle of Yuwushui, and other large and small wars, although Li Guangli's performance was not as dazzling as Wei Qinghuo's illness.

But in all fairness, it can be called excellent.

The large corps of hundreds of thousands of people fought a decisive battle, and could command it in a measured manner and advance and retreat in a proper manner.

Victory does not rush forward, defeat does not retreat, and in the years when Gongsun He and his son made a mess of Ma Zheng and the Han cavalry was seriously short of horses, they always maintained pressure on the Xiongnu and strategic offensive capabilities.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Wei Qinghuo's illness, Zhuyu would be in front.

Li Guangli is afraid that he has already become famous all over the world.

However......

The light of Wei Qing and Huo Quai's illness covered everything.

People don't want to think about other issues at all, they only think, 'If the great general and the great Sima are here, the Huns dare to run rampant?' ’。

But in the entire history of China, how many people can compare to Wei Qinghuo?

It's just Chen Qingzhi, Liu Jinu, Li Weigong, Yue Wumu and others chatting with a few people.

Therefore, Zhang Yue is also feeling very stressed now.

Wei Qinghuo is sick in front of Zhuyu, as long as he performs a little inferiorly, I am afraid that he will be regarded as a parallel import and regarded as waste.

Perhaps, the attacks, pressures, and discussions that Li Guangli is undergoing today will all come to him.

Liu Quyu looked at Zhang Yue, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "Serve and do it yourself......

This sentence is a pun, Zhang Yue understands, and Liu Quyu also knows that Zhang Yue understands.

Therefore, he just bowed his hand slightly, and bowed again: "I will take my leave!" ”

"Prime Minister walk slowly......" Zhang Yue bowed again.
