Chapter 077: Yang Xun
Chapter 077 Yang Xun (Second Vote)
Albus's family saved the danger and kept the family's glory and wealth, and Albus's father and son, especially Asna, were naturally grateful to Princess Yuzhen and others who "mediated" from it.
Albus once again prepared a generous gift, and secretly came to the door to thank Colliers, who was naturally happy to laugh.
After thanking Gao Lishi, he went to visit Princess Yuzhen again. Albus and his son knew that Princess Yuzhen did not like gold and silver wealth, and of course there was no shortage of these things, so they pleased her and carefully selected ten Hu girls who could sing and dance and have a bewitching appearance and sent them to Yuzhenguan.
Princess Yuzhen was overjoyed, and immediately set up a banquet for Albus's father and son.
Don't look at it as just a small banquet, but for Albus and his son, it means a lot. They returned to Tang again, facing tremendous pressure, and An Lushan, a fierce tiger, was eyeing the tiger, and the temporary danger was over, but in the long run, it was also full of crises.
But Princess Yuzhen came forward to set up a banquet for Albus and his son, which meant that she publicly said that Albus and his son were "covered" by her, and no matter how arrogant and strong An Lushan was, he had to scruple about three points.
Although it is a private banquet, Princess Yuzhen's power and name are placed here, so there are not many guests who are invited or take the initiative to come. Even Yang Guozhong, because he received an invitation from Princess Yuzhen, sent his eldest son Yang Xun to block face.
And Yang Guozhong's attitude directly affected many courtiers. Including Zuo Xiang**** Lie, there is only Yang Guozhong who is the head of the horse and sends his descendants to attend as representatives.
The red sun is at the head, the weather is clear, and the temperature in Chang'an City after the rain is not high or low, refreshing and pleasant.
Albus and his son followed Princess Yuzhen's hint and stood outside the venue to greet the distinguished guests who came to the banquet. At this time, Asna saw a young man in Chinese clothes who was about twenty years old with his head held high and strode over, hugging a group of powerful children behind him, so he gently pulled the placket of his father Albus's clothes and said in a low voice, "Father, this person is Yang Guozhong's eldest son Yang Xun, and the few behind him, I know one, it is Chen He, the grandson of Zuo Xianglie." β
Albus's heart was stunned, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to give his hand, "Albus has seen Yang Gongzi, all sons." β
It is said that with Albus's qualifications and status, there is no need to be so polite to a group of powerful children, but it is a pity that he is now in Pingyang, and if he wants to gain a foothold in Chang'an, he must lower his posture.
As the son of Yang Guozhong, Yang Xun's spirit is needless to say. However, because of his reading, Yang Xun is a little more elegant and calm than his father.
Although he is arrogant but not shallow, in front of the public, it is not good to be too rude, but he returned the salute to Albus with a smile, and said loudly, "General A doesn't need to be polite, Yang Xun doesn't dare to be." β
Yang Xun turned around and smiled at Chen He, who was standing behind him, "Pengyuan, let's go in, go and ask His Highness Yuzhen to go first." β
Chen He's face was respectful, and he should have given his hand.
Now that **** Lie has been forced by the situation to become a puppet manipulated by Yang Guozhong again, the Chen family is naturally looking forward to the Yang family. Chen He, on the other hand, reluctantly became Yang Xun's follower.
Under the leadership of Yang Xun, this group of powerful children entered the field to greet Princess Yuzhen and sat down, and most of them sat behind Yang Xun, forming an eye-catching "second generation" camp.
Princess Yuzhen glanced at Cui Ying, who was sitting silently beside her, with a quiet expression, and said softly, "Baby, why hasn't Zizhan arrived yet?" β
Cui Ying was about to say something, but suddenly out of the corner of her eye, she found that Zhang Xuan, who was wearing a green shirt, was floating in under the guidance of a female Taoist priest, and couldn't help but say happily, "Mother, Zizhan is here." β
Zhang Xuan walked in with a calm expression. He is actually very tired of the current kind of singing, dancing and drinking banquets that have to be held every three or five times, but he can't, this is a typical feature of this era, the most common and mainstream social occasions, he can only slowly adapt to it.
Zhang Xuan's arrival attracted the attention of many guests, especially the wives and ladies of some powerful families, who were even more enthusiastic about Zhang Xuan, and they all commented on Zhang Xuan one after another. Some, even laughing and laughing, raised their hands to greet Zhang Xuan from afar.
Zhang Xuan's famous background is famous, and he is valued by the emperor, and he is also talented and talented, and has become the prince charming in the minds of many unmarried women in Chang'an. Compared with the children of powerful people like Yang Xun, Zhang Xuan is actually more "attractive".
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had made such a big move when he entered the venue, Yang Xun sat there and didn't say anything, but he frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Even if Zhang Xuan is Yang Guozhong's protΓ©gΓ© at the moment, he can't surpass himself, the eldest son of Yang Xiang, not to mention that Zhang Xuan doesn't know how to lift up, and his father's support is in vain, which is destined to be a tragedy - why is he so proud of such an empty white-clothed gentleman? This is Yang Xun's true state of mind at the moment.
Yang Xun's unkind gaze projected over, and Zhang Xuan quickly noticed it. But he just glanced at Yang Xun and was indifferent.
Yang Xun glanced back at Chen He.
Chen He was stunned at first, and then immediately understood Yang Xun's intentions. immediately got up and beckoned to Zhang Xuan, "Zhang Xuan, Yang Gongzi is here." β
Chen He's meaning is obvious, aren't you Zhang Xuan relying on the power of the Yang family to be arrogant, now that Yang Guozhong's eldest son is here, why don't you come over obediently and say hello?
Zhang Xuan's footsteps froze, he turned his head and looked at Chen He indifferently, oh, and arched his hand to Yang Xun casually, but without saying a word, he continued to walk towards the main seat of Princess Yuzhen.
Yang Xun didn't expect Zhang Xuan to dare to give him such a face, his face suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.
Zhang Xuan walked over to salute Yu Zhen, Yu Zhen hesitated, and was about to ask someone to change the seat for Zhang Xuan, but saw that Zhang Xuan had already sat down.
Because they are both young people, Zhang Xuan's seat is also placed on this side, next to Yang Xun and Chen He.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The banquet is still the same routine. First, Yuzhen made a high-sounding opening speech, Albus and his son made a "speech" to thank the guests of the dojo, and then singing and dancing music, and the sound of glamour filled the audience.
Zhang Xuan sat indifferently, poured himself a drink, rarely talked to the powerful children around him, and occasionally smiled and talked with Pei Hui.
Chen He has been looking at Zhang Xuan coldly, and he is actually quite surprised in his heart: this Zhang Xuan is obviously a person who started by relying on the power of the Yang family, and recently Yang Guozhong personally recommended him to the emperor as an official, but why is his attitude towards Yang Xun so indifferent; On the other hand, Yang Xun doesn't seem to buy much of him.
Yang Xun has been holding back a fire in his heart. First, it was because Zhang Xuan didn't know how to raise and refused to join Yang Guozhong's disciples, and others didn't know that the Yang family was "happy and bitter"; The second is that Zhang Xuan did not greet him today, and his attitude was very arrogant.
But I don't know how to vent this fire.
At this time, Yang Xun saw that Albus's son had just been canonized by the emperor as a Zhonglang general and a soldier and horse envoy in Hexi, and Asna came over with a smile and a wine cup, and actually bowed to Zhang Xuan, "Brother Zizhan, thank you for your support, I am grateful." β
