Chapter 279: A Treat

I talked to Su Dingfang about the reception on the twelfth day of the lunar month. When Su Dingfang knew the reason, he immediately apologized again and again: "Oops, it turned out that Yunwen was the father!" It's a sin to be in the dark for my brother! Yunwen rest assured, on the twelfth day of the lunar month, he will definitely come for his brother! ”

While Zhang Yunwen and Su Dingfang were muttering and talking non-stop, Li Ke's eyes kept rolling, as if he was thinking about something.

Out of Yulinwei, Zhang Yunwen went all the way to the other Weifu yamen and military camps, and notified the gentlemen who had entered the military academy one by one, and said: "You have to remember, if you bring fewer gifts, Lao Tzu will not let you in!" ”

Those gentlemen suddenly slapped their chests one by one: "Don't worry, boss, we will give you a generous gift if we scrape all the family foundations!" ”

Zhang Yunwen immediately nodded with satisfaction: "It is worthy of being the first batch of students to graduate from the Military Academy, and they really know how to respect teachers!" ”

If you look at the calendar on the twelfth day of the lunar month, you will find that it is written: It is advisable to travel for logging banquets, and avoid wedding bathing.

The feast was set for the evening. However, to Zhang Yunwen's displeasure, since the morning, goose feather-like snowflakes have fallen from the sky. The entire Chang'an was dressed in thick silver.

From the afternoon application time, the guests who were invited came one after another.

The first to arrive were Duan Yunsong, Liu Renshi and a group of gentlemen. I saw that they were all dressed in dark red robes, with white fur coats on the outside, and finally a black cloak, swaggering through the market. White snow fell on the black cloak, mottled in patches.

As soon as they entered the courtyard corridor, several people untied their cloaks, shook off the snow, handed them to the standing maid next to them, and then walked towards the flower hall.

Before he arrived at the flower hall, Zhang Yunwen greeted him and said, "Oh, you guys are really early!" Hmm, I wonder what kind of congratulatory gifts you brought here? At the beginning, you said that you would scrape all the money of the family. I'll see what you've brought with me. ”

"Brother Zhang, you're going to see you, who are we talking to, I Duan Yunsong doesn't count when I talk! Come on, this is a gift list, you take it first, and I will send someone to send it to Brother Zhang in a few days! Duan Yunsong said with a playful face.

Liu Renshi next to him also grinned and said: "That's it, Brother Zhang, I'll wait here today, and I'll give you a gift list!" As for the gifts, they will definitely be given in the future! ”

Zhang Yunwen rolled his eyes when he heard this, these guys will give gifts in the future, I'm afraid the probability is even smaller than the probability of them going out and picking up a copper coin. Flipping through the list of gifts, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but take a deep breath, staring at several people's eyes more and more unkindly. I saw Duan Yunsong's gift list written: ten catties of red dates, ten jars of locust honey, five horses of red silk, and a pair of jade.

Duan Yunsong suddenly smiled: "Hehe, Brother Zhang, these are all my belongings!" If you don't believe it, ask Renshi, I'm so poor in that small courtyard outside! ”

Liu Renshi hurriedly nodded cooperatively.

Zhang Yunwen suddenly showed a warm smile: "Since Yun Song said this, how can I not believe it!" Red dates nourish yin, honey nourishes beauty, Yun Song is really bothered! If that's the case, then I'll take it first! Uh, what are you still doing standing outside, why don't you go into the flower hall for tea? ”

As if they had been pardoned, several people hurried into the flower hall.

As time went on, other guests invited by Zhang Yunwen also arrived one after another. When Su Dingfang arrived, Zhang Yunwen really saw Pei Xingjian with a cold face, but with a hint of self-determination.

Zhang Yunwen immediately greeted him: "Hehe, eldest brother, you are here, the younger brother has been waiting for a long time!" Well, Brother Pei is here too! Come, please! "Greet Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian into the flower hall, and then introduce them to those idle and bored gentlemen.

When they heard that Su Dingfang's long lance kung fu was better than Zhang Yunwen's, and the kung fu in his hand was not timely, these people immediately pulled Su Dingfang to the court to try his freehand kung fu. Zhang Yunwen didn't stop it, looking at these guys with schadenfreude, and it was almost imaginable that their skin and face would be swollen in the future.

Sure enough, after Duan Yunsong volunteered to fight with Su Dingfang, the remaining sons and brothers never mentioned the matter of competing with Su Dingfang. I saw that after Duan Yunsong and Su Dingfang fought for a quarter of an hour, the defeat was undoubtedly revealed, and half a quarter of an hour later, Duan Yunsong jumped up and down while shouting: "Don't fight, don't fight, I admit defeat!" ”

When Cheng Yanjin brought his three sons over, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang immediately got mixed up with Duan Yunsong and others, and Cheng Bitingjin's youngest son Cheng Chubi Zhang Yunwen was still seeing him for the first time, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and like his father and brother, he was born with a pair of thick black eyebrows and a pair of bull's eyes. Speaking of words, he is also arrogant: "You are the Zhang Yunwen who married the princess, you don't look very handsome, you are not as good-looking as me!" ”

Before Cheng Chubi's words fell, he was slapped on the head by Cheng Yanjin.

This group of generals, together with the later arrivals of Wei Chigong, Yang Chang, Ma Wangshan and others, opened their posture in the martial arts training ground in Zhang Yunwen's backyard and began to compare.

And Zhirou's father, Fushun Junwang, sat with Han Shiliang, Sun Simiao, and Yuan Tiangang drinking tea and chatting.

As for the female dependents, as soon as they arrived in the mansion, they came to the backyard to visit Zhirou, like Zhirou's mother, Princess Fushun, Zhang Yunwen's two sisters-in-law, and Mrs. Wei Chi, all of whom were talking to Zhirou Li Yu in the boudoir.

In the end, when it was dark, Tang Jian was late in the carriage. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed his hand to everyone in the flower hall: "The old man is late today, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

Everyone got up hurriedly and politely got up with Tang Jian.

Zhang Yunwen saw that the guests were almost here, and then saw that the sky was already dark, and immediately said: "Okay, since the guests have arrived today, let's have a banquet!" ”

So, under the leadership of Mei Xiang, everyone came to the dining room. Five large round tables have been set up here. The dining room is surrounded by screens with landscapes, flowers and birds. Behind a screen depicting the rising red sun, three singers holding Xiao Di and Pipa are sitting on a stool, bowing their heads and adjusting the instruments in their hands.

Three thick fur-covered couches are placed in front of the screen, which is for resting. In the corner, two stoves emit heat. The whole dining room is as warm as spring.

After sitting down one by one, Zhang Yunwen was about to send someone to invite Li Yu and Zhirou to come over to greet him, but he heard the sound of a warbler and a swallow at the door. Then the figure was longing, and Princess Fushun and Mrs. Wei Chi entered the dining room first. They were followed by Zhi Rou and the others.

I saw that Zhi Rou had a big belly, and as soon as she entered the door, she sat directly on the couch, so she smiled sweetly and said to everyone in the room: "The concubine is physically inconvenient, and it is difficult to see the courtesy, I hope that all the elders, uncles will forgive me!" ”

Wei Chigong smiled "hehe": "Rou'er doesn't need to be polite, now you have to pay more attention to your body!" ”

Tang Jian also said a few kind words. After these elders finished speaking, Liu Renshi and the others stood up and walked in front of Zhi Rou and said, "I've seen my sister-in-law!" ”

At this time, only the sound of a pipa was heard, followed by the sound of silk and bamboo, and the singers behind the screens had already adjusted their instruments and began to play. Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen hurriedly asked the maid to bring the food up.

There were not many maids in Zhang Yunwen's house, and seven or eight maids came to the dining room in a queue with a wide tray. In order to serve the food as soon as possible, even Rui'er and Meixiang joined the ranks of delivering the food.

The dishes with all colors and flavors were placed on the table, and Tang Jian couldn't help but move his index fingers. Tang Jian was originally a person who loved food, but now when he saw this fragrant dish that he had never eaten before, he couldn't help asking: "Yunwen, where did you come from in this house?" How can you make such a fragrant dish? ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled: "These cooks are just ordinary cooks, but these dishes are taught to them!" ”

Tang Jian was suddenly surprised: "What, I didn't expect Yunwen to have such skills!" The old man has to try it! ”

While he was laughing, the dishes had been served, and a table was full. And the wine is piled up in the corner of the dining room, and the drinker can take it.

And so they began to eat and drink. As for the ladies and gentlemen, after greeting them with the people, they went to other rooms and dined for themselves.

The dining room suddenly became lively, with the sound of shouting, drinking, and orders, mixed with the faint sound of pipa, echoing in the dining room.

When he drank to the heart, Tang Jian hooked Zhang Yunwen's shoulder with a flushed face and said, "Brother Zhang, you, uh, can you give the old man two cooks?" The old man tasted the taste of the food, I'm afraid that anything will be tasteless after I go back! ”

Zhang Yunwen looked helplessly at the drunk old man who called himself "old brother" and called himself an old man, and after helping him lie on the couch, he was about to leave, but Tang Jian grabbed his arm and continued to ask: "Is it okay?" ”

Zhang Yunwen had no choice but to say again and again: "Okay, aren't they just two cooks?" I'll send you to the house tomorrow! ”

Only then did Tang Jian let go of his hand and let Zhang Yunwen leave, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

At this moment, I only heard a high-pitched flute sound, like a crane singing in the sky, and wanted to blow the bamboo flute. Then the sound of the flute slowly calmed down, but this gentleness was not like a slope from high to low, all the way down, but like a dragon pillar like a bending around the fall, each turn, everyone's hearts relaxed, and finally, when the flute completely fell, everyone's hearts were already calm.

Hearing the sound of the flute, the noise of the crowd suddenly disappeared, and they all listened to the flute with all their attention. Even Tang Jian, who was lying on the couch, half-opened his eyes and listened intently.

As soon as the flute sounds, the sound of the pipa and flute disappeared, leaving only the sound of the flute echoing. Like a drizzle of rain sprinkled on a bamboo forest, spring silkworms chewing mulberry leaves, the sound of the flute lingering in the whispering place, but it is not gone for a long time, and everyone's hearts gradually become irritable with the sound of this whispering.

Finally, the sound of the flute gradually became high-pitched, slowly agitated, and the sound of the drizzling spring silkworms gradually became the sound of the murmuring of the stream, and then became the sound of the rushing river. The irritability in everyone's hearts suddenly disappeared, and they suddenly felt like standing at the mouth of the Yellow River, facing the Yellow River Waterfall roaring down and turbid waves, with majestic momentum and pride.

The sound of the flute became more and more intense, and the sound of Jin Ge Iron Horse was gradually born. Everyone only felt that they were on the battlefield, and there was surging killing intent on all sides. The sound of the collision of swords, the neighing of war horses, the shouting of soldiers, and the wailing of falling in a pool of blood all pressed on him, and a tragic meaning arose.

Before everyone walked out of the battlefield, a long high-pitched and poignant flute sounded suddenly, like the yellow bell Dalu, the bell of Hanshan Temple in the middle of the night, resounding between heaven and earth. Everyone woke up and looked at the screen with admiration.

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly asked people to remove the screen, and saw three singers holding bamboo flutes and jade flutes and pipas resting, and hurriedly invited the three to take a seat.

The three singers said lightly: "Today, our three sisters received the money from the owner, and we want to try our best to play a wonderful song for the owner!" Don't mention it! ”

Seeing the resignation of the third daughter, the Liu brothers couldn't help but be furious, and were about to stand up and speak, but were stopped by Zhang Yunwen. I saw Zhang Yunwen say to the three girls: "Since the three of you are unwilling, then I will no longer be reluctant." But the three of them have been playing for a long time, and they must already be thirsty, so I will ask the three of them to drink a glass of wine to quench their thirst, are the three of them willing? ”

The third girl hesitated and nodded.

After drinking, the three girls sat back down and continued to play.

The banquet continued, but it was not as lively as it had been.
