From the hundredth chapter onwards, the daily update will be placed in the evening, so let everyone know about it.

On this day, Ma Chao had just returned home from the palace, and the housekeeper came to pay respects, "Master, someone sent an invitation card, please take a look!" ”

How old is I, I will become a master, but as soon as I heard that there was an invitation, Ma Chao became interested, this seems to be the first time I have received an invitation in my life.

"Okay, put it down."

"No! In the next retirement. ”

Ma Chao opened the invitation and looked at it, his eyebrows raised, the invitation was actually from He Fu, and he invited himself to He Jin's 40th birthday banquet two days later. Is this He Jin forty years old? I really don't know how to do it, but now He Jinguan worships Henan Yin, and he is a celebrity around Liu Hong, if he wants to say that if he is still too shou in Dunhuang, it is understandable that He Jin invited himself to the banquet, but now he has no official position, what is this because of Lu. Ma Chao thought about it carefully, and he finally understood.

There are two reasons why He Jin must invite himself, first, he is also somewhat famous now, since he knows that he is in Luoyang, it is normal to invite himself. Second, and most importantly, although he is now a gentleman who has no official position, he is the prince's debate. Liu Wei is someone he Jin, that is his sister's son and his nephew. And as a nephew's husband, He Jin must be invited, because his nephew is not an ordinary person, he is the prince of the Han Dynasty.

Although Ma Chao said that he was not interested in He Jin, but the invitations were all sent, and it was impossible for him not to go. If you don't give this face, it will be troublesome in the future. Besides, going to a banquet is a dinner party, and I don't have no time, so I have to go. As for not knowing the specific location of the mansion, Ma Chao believes that Cao Cao must have received an invitation, so he will be with him when the time comes.

Two days later, Ma Chao prepared a congratulatory gift and prepared to go to Cao Cao. Who knew that he didn't have to look for it himself, Cao Cao sent it to the door by himself.

"I know that Brother Xian must also be going to Hefu for a banquet, because my brother is afraid that you don't know the location of Lu Dao, so I specially came to you to go with you!"

"The little brother has this intention, isn't this going to find Brother Meng De, I didn't expect Brother Meng De to know the little brother so well!"

"Hahaha, alright, the hour is coming, let's go!"

"Brother Mengde, please!"

So the two of them went to He Fu, and the congratulatory gifts were held by the subordinates. When the two of them arrived at the door of Hefu, they saw that there were really a lot of people coming, and there was an endless stream. In fact, if you think about it, although He Jin is only Henan Yin now, he has a good sister, and his sister is when he is favored, and Liu Wei was also born to his sister. And He Jin, as a relative, is a celebrity around the emperor, so there are a lot of people who want to slap him, if He Jin doesn't have such a sister, then there will never be so many people tonight, this is the reality, even some people who don't want to come, after weighing it again, they have to come.

Handing over the invitation card and gift list, Cao Cao and Ma Chao walked to the living room, and the congratulatory gift was naturally taken by the next person.

Entering the living room, Ma Chao saw that the living room on He Jin's house was really big enough, otherwise it might not be able to fit so many people. But there are definitely not many people who can sit here, He Jin can't invite everyone, let alone everyone who is invited, and some people may not be able to come because of something.

The hour is coming, everyone is basically seated, and it is all up to them to sit in this seat, and there is naturally a set of order in the officialdom. As for Ma Chao and Cao Cao, they were already very far behind, and just when they were about to sit down, they only heard someone say: "Mengde! ”

Cao Cao looked at it, and the old acquaintance, "Hahaha, it turned out to be the first brother, so I know that you will definitely come!" ”

He knew that the Yuan brothers and He Jin were relatively close, so they wouldn't not come, but how could they see one.

Cao Cao was thinking about it, only to hear someone say: "Meng De, don't you introduce this person next to you!" ”

As soon as he heard this, he noticed that there was another person coming from nowhere, "Brother Highway, you are so right, let me introduce you to you!" ”

I only heard Cao Cao say to the Yuan brothers: "This is Fufeng Ma Chaoma Mengqi, I guess the two of you have also heard of it!" ”

He said to Ma Chao again: "This is Runan Yuan Shu Yuan Highway, the son of the Chao Sikong!" ”

was about to introduce another one, but Ma Chao waved his hand, "Brother Meng De doesn't need to be introduced, this must be Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu of Runan!" Ma Chao hugged Yuan Shao again: "Brother Benchu, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

Yuan Shao said: "I heard that Meng Qi is famous, and when I see it tonight, Meng Qi is really a handsome man in the world!" ”

To say that Yuan Shao can still be very polite to people with reputation, if Ma Chao has no name and nothing, he will definitely not be like this.

Listening to their words, Yuan Shu next to him was angry in his heart. This Yuan Benchu pressed himself everywhere, he was the eldest son of the Yuan family, but no one had heard of him, but they had never heard of him.

Originally, Yuan Shu was very happy before, you look at Cao Cao, the first to introduce himself, which makes him feel very face-saving. Originally, although Yuan Shao was a few years older than himself, he was the eldest son, how could he let his concubine overwhelm him. As a result, I heard that Ma Chao had heard of Yuan Shao again, and greeted Yuan Shao first, and directly threw himself aside, Yuan Shu was angry.

I have to say that Ma Chao's kid is really bad, everything is deliberate by him, just to anger Yuan Shu's kid. Yuan Shu is still young now, and when Cao Cao introduced him, you look at him like that, as if he was afraid that others would not know about him. Ma Chao was the most unaccustomed to Yuan Shu, so he greeted Yuan Shao first, at least on the surface, he felt that Yuan Shao was much stronger than Yuan Shu.

As soon as Cao Cao heard the conversation between Ma Chao and Yuan Shao, his heart was finished, and it was all over. This peaceful scene that he had built up with great difficulty was destroyed by Meng Qi's words, and he knew the Yuan brothers too well, so he naturally knew about these situations between them.

If you want to say that you are closer to Yuan Shao, but you didn't say that you would introduce him first, isn't it just to make peace between their brothers, but it was inadvertently destroyed by Meng Qi, and it seems that you want to find an opportunity to talk to him about these situations.

Cao Cao didn't know that Ma Chao was deliberate, and if he knew Lu Dao, he didn't know what he thought.

And although Yuan Shu was angry, he didn't show it, the first time he saw Ma Chao, he didn't want to leave a bad impression.

"I've heard the name of Meng Qi for a long time, and I'll see you tonight, it's really a wish of mine!" Yuan Shu said.

Ma Chao was funny in his heart, this Yuan Shu really wanted to surpass Yuan Shao in everything. Since everyone has said so, I can't be rude.

"When Brother Meng De didn't introduce him, the younger brother didn't know that it was Brother Highway. In fact, the younger brother is also the name of the long-admiring road brother, see you tonight, it is really a blessing for three lives, and three lives are lucky! ”

Don't care if it's true or not, anyway, Yuan Shu likes to listen to this, and his previous mood has eased a lot.

After everyone sat down, he said to everyone present: "You can come to the house to drink and feast, and you are welcome, welcome!" ”

He Jin said politely first, after all, those who can come are for their own face, and if they don't come, write them down first, and then investigate them carefully to see if they really can't come, or what's going on. It's excusable if it really doesn't come, but if it doesn't, then it's unforgivable.

He Jin was born as a butcher, in his opinion, those who can come are those who give themselves face, and those who make excuses for deliberately not coming are all looking down on themselves, thinking that they are from a butcher, but they are just a relative and rely on nepotism to achieve their current position.

But in fact, they only see what is on the surface, but they don't know that they have been trying to do it well. I don't know much more about the Tao than others, but I handle all affairs very well. Yes, they didn't do it themselves, but for the sake of the superiors, they can be responsible for managing their subordinates, and if they don't do well, they can replace the ones who do well, and no matter what the result, they are still looked down upon.

I only heard him continue: "The distinguished guests who came to the banquet today are the highly respected Sikong Gong Yuan ......" He Jin said the names of several people, and everyone in the officialdom knew them, at least they had heard of these people.

And the few people He Jin said nodded to everyone, which was regarded as a greeting.

"There is also a rising star in the court, Cao Cao...... and the prince's husband, Ma Chao. He Jin said a few more names, including Cao Cao and Ma Chao, and the two also nodded and greeted everyone.

However, some people still don't know Ma Chao's name, "May I ask who this Ma Chao is?" Guest A asked Guest B next to him.

Guest B had an expression of "you are out", and said in his heart that even Ma Chao you don't know what to do, you are still not mixed up in the officialdom of Luoyang.

"Fufeng Ma Chao Ma Mengqi, ...... in Yingchuan Academy"

"Zhilu said, when I talked about Yingchuan Academy, I remembered it, it turned out to be him!"

"But it's not, he is now the gentleman of the prince's debate, the Pope's martial arts!" Guest B continued.

"I see." The guest Jiaxin said, no wonder Ma Chao was also invited, this is the person who must be invited.

After He Jin introduced the highly respected and young generation of the DPRK and China, "Please drink happily!" After saying that, he clapped his hands, and a dancing girl came on the stage to present a song and dance to everyone, so everyone enjoyed the song and dance while drinking.

During the banquet, Ma Chao and Cao Cao also ate and drank wine while watching singing and dancing. Ma Chao is more appreciative, he thinks that Dahan's singing and dancing are really good-looking, and Cao Cao is more about seeing beautiful women than appreciating them, after all, he has seen a lot more songs and dances than Ma Chao, he cares more about the people who dance, this can attract him more, and the Yuan brothers are even more so.

After the three songs and dances, the dancers all retired, and Ma Chao understood that there were other programs to be played, after all, only singing and dancing still seemed monotonous.

I saw that the guest on the table stood up and said: "Tonight is Henan Yin's birthday, and I will give Henan Yin a cup here!" ”

He Jin smiled when he heard this, "Thank you!" ”

Then both of them drank it all.

I only heard the guest C say again: "Tonight, I will improvise a song to congratulate Henan Yin's birthday!" ”

"Thank you!"

"It's ugly to be ugly!"

So the guest C began to chant his masterpiece, Ma Chao was not in the mood to listen to his fu, and he might as well eat a few more bites of food. I don't know if this is He Jin's nursery, or if he came to give him a whisker and a horse, anyway, no matter which one it is, Ma Chao is not interested in him.

Guest C finally finished reciting his fu, but when he looked at others, there were few people who listened carefully, but this one didn't care, I saw him hug his fist at Ma Chao and said loudly: "I have heard about Ma Mengqi's literary style for a long time, I don't know if I can write a poem here tonight, so that I can wait for an eye-opener?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the audience were basically focused on Ma Chao, everyone present had heard of Ma Chao's name and masterpieces, but they were not particularly clear about his ability, so they all wanted to see whether this person who helped the wind Ma Meng Qi was worthy of the name or not.

Ma Chao scolded this guest C eighteen times in his heart, and said that this guest C had a grudge against him, so he pulled himself into the water at this time, but it was difficult for him to refuse.

I saw him stand up, smiled, and said to everyone: "I can't improvise poems than some people, tonight Henan Yin birthday banquet, I wish to sing a song to congratulate!" This song is a clumsy work for Dunhuang that is too punctual, and I hope you will give advice! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all interested. He Jin even felt more face-saving, with Ma Chao's reputation, he was willing to sing a song for himself, this was rumored, so how much more face he had.

"So there is Lao Meng!" He Jin said with a smile.

I only heard Ma Chao start singing, "The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north...... The dignified man wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate! ”

After the song, the audience was silent, and after a while, a burst of warm applause broke out.

I only heard Cao Cao say: "Although this song is different from today's mainstream music style, it is full of enthusiasm after listening to it, as if you are in the frontier and want to pick up a spear to defend your family and country!" He felt that only a character like Meng Qixian could make such a song.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and even He Jin was infected. Don't look at him as forty years old, he is still a butcher, but his love for the country definitely doesn't have to be a hot-blooded youth.

He asked Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, I don't know what the name of this song is?" ”

"Serve the country with loyalty!"

"What a song to serve the country with loyalty!"
