0154 Hospitality
Shen Zhezi didn't know much about the kings of the Sima family, after all, he rarely interacted with each other. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info but it's not that there is no one around to consult, such as Ren Qiu, who has been fighting in Danyang Wuzhong for a long time.
After a while in Zhang's Hidden Garden, Shen Zhezi officially invited Ren Qiu. Ren Qiu is not a person who is willing to do nothing, he has the heart to make meritorious contributions, and nowadays there are all the high-ranking families in Wuzhong, there is no doubt that the Shen family is the best choice.
Therefore, Ren Qiu did not shirk it, and directly agreed, and now he has hung up a Cao Peng ministry in the Huiji County Government. It's just because Shen Zhezi still needs someone who is familiar with the people and customs of the capital to guide him at the moment, and he didn't return to Huiji with Shen Chong.
Ren Qiu is originally from Danyang, and his friends in Jiankang are far more extensive than Shen Peizhi, and he has been helping to plan and prepare for the construction of garden villas on the other side of the Qinhuai River in the past few days. After receiving Shen Zhezi's summons and coming to Shen's house, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard Shen Zhezi ask about things related to Sima Chong, the king of the East China Sea: "Although I have been in the capital for a long time, I am not fortunate enough to enter the palace of the East China Sea to meet me. Even if there are one or two things that have been heard, they are all hearsay, and whether it is true or false still requires Lang Jun's self-determination. ”
Shen Zhezi smiled after hearing this: "The Gate of the Kings is difficult to enter, and I have no intention of having a deep friendship with it. However, it coincides with the birthday celebration of the king of the East China Sea, and it doesn't matter if there is always a mistake or omission. ”
Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, Ren Qiu had no worries, and said after a moment of silence: "I haven't heard of any chic and elegant tastes from the King of the East China Sea, but at the beginning of the year, on the birthday of Concubine Pei, the palace hired a monk to preach Buddhism in Changgan Temple, which lasted for more than a month. ”
"In that case, then ask Mr. Ren to go to Changgan Temple on my behalf to ask for two volumes of Buddhist scriptures recorded by high monks, and go to the East China Sea Palace with me in the future."
Shen Zhezi quickly made a decision, but Ren Qiu hesitated a little: "It's a little sloppy, isn't it?" ”
"It's okay, anyway, I may not be a guest of his family."
Although the name of the king of the East China Sea is respected, it is not worth how Shen Zhezi takes it seriously, and there is no friendship between each other, and there is a gap between the north and the south, and there is no plan to make deep friendships.
Hearing that Shen Zhezi had already made a decision, Ren Qiu didn't say anything more. He has not been in refuge for a long time, and he is still observing and figuring out Shen Zhezi's temper, and he does more and says less when he encounters things.
On the appointed day, Yu Tiao personally came to the Shen family to invite him, and he couldn't help but be startled when he saw the hundreds of Shen family members in the manor. If someone who doesn't know what is inside sees it, they think that this family is going to do something evil.
Shen Zhezi didn't feel that he was making a big fuss, and explained to Yu Tiao with a smile: "I went out in distress the day before yesterday, but I know that the capital is quite unstable and prepared. ”
Although the last attack was self-directed and self-acted, Shen Zhezi had to take precautions and remind others. In addition, he has never been very optimistic about the kings of the Sima family in his heart, and he can't guess when the other party will occasionally open his brain, so he naturally wants to ensure his safety.
The moral quality of people in this era has never been high, the huge rich Shi Chong made his fortune by robbery and extortion, Shen Zhezi will not let himself be in danger, once an accident happens, more than 100 Longxi soldiers plus more than 200 strong troops are also a combat force that should not be underestimated.
Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, Yu Tiao didn't want to say anything else, so he smiled and said: "It just so happens that this banquet of the King of the East China Sea is in the eastern suburbs outside the city, where there are quite a lot of gardens and ditches. It will take about three or five days to go, and Tetsuko Langjun will lead the attaché, and we can also go on a safari whenever we are interested. ”
Because Shen Mu was quite resentful among the northerners, Shen Zhezi did not plan to take him with him this time, leaving him in the city to watch his family, and the group went out in a grand way.
The most prosperous place of Jiankang City is located in the south of the city on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, the west is the stone city, the north is the imperial tomb and the royal garden, etc., and the east is a large area of slope ditch and few people. Sun Quan, the Emperor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, once built a garden villa here to hunt, and often there were large beasts such as tigers to pounce on his saddle horses, so he built a tiger shooting car with a large iron cage to cover the body, and led the bow to shoot the tiger in the iron cage.
Although it has entered the Jin Dynasty nowadays, the eastern suburbs of Jiankang City are still difficult to call prosperous, except for an official road, there are only a few official houses, and there are few residences.
After leaving the city, there was a large meadow, and Shen Zhezi and Yu Tiao joined the people who had arrived first in front of a hill. These people are all overseas Chinese friends of Yu Tiao, most of whom Shen Zhezi has already seen, and there are also some new faces, probably new friends who have joined in Jiankang City in the past time.
Because Yu Liang has controlled his personal freedom in the past few days, these people are not in a good mental state, but they redoubled their enthusiasm when they saw Shen Zhezi, probably because they wanted to finalize the matter of going south as soon as possible and flee from the land of right and wrong.
Each group of people has an entourage, and after the two converge, there are more than 1,000 people, and they spread out in this field, which is quite imposing. Among so many people, the southerners are only Shen Zhezi's family. But because of Yu Tiao, and most of them are now asking for the Shen family, Shen Zhezi has not been excluded, but has faintly become a center.
Sima Chong, the king of the East China Sea, had to go north, and after the group converged, they followed the grassy procession to the north.
It is early summer, and the grass and trees are thriving among the fields, and the picture is full of birds and flowers. Many of these overseas Chinese disciples have quite elegant people, who are convenient for the ox cart to tune the piano and play the flute, and there are also those who accompany the United States, and order the concubines to sing in a coquettish voice on the way, and the whole team is permeated with music and a cheerful atmosphere for a while.
Yu Tiao's car was on the left side of Shen Zhezi, as if he was infected by this atmosphere, and suddenly led to a long roar, although the voice was not loud but transparent enough, but after the whistle, his expression turned a little lonely: "Gather the crowd and go, let it go to the wild, but unfortunately Nan Erlang is difficult to see this scene again!" ”
Shen Zhezi thought of that Nan Erlang's heavy-tasting demeanor, and felt a chill in his heart, so he smiled and didn't answer.
Yu Tiao seemed to be depressed, and turned to sigh: "Zhezi Langjun may not be able to understand my interest, but the love contract between me and Nan Erlang has not harmed anyone, just because it is a little contrary to the etiquette law, Nan Erlang will not be tolerated by his brother, and he is already ...... soul."
Seeing Yu Tiao's sad face, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while. Thinking of Yu Liang's character, it is not surprising to do this kind of thing.
The procession walked slowly, and after passing through a slope between the two hills, the terrain gradually opened up, and from the high point you could see the fenced garden villas under the distant slopes, and there was a lot of neighing horses and deer.
A group of knights rushed out of the fence, roared, and waved a banner from afar to signal the team to stop on the grass, and then a young soldier in armor lifted his armor and stepped forward to check everyone's identity.
Shen Zhezi and the others paused on the grass by the water, waiting for the order to pass. He stood on the wheel of the car and looked at it from a distance, and saw that all kinds of cars and horses had already been parked outside the fence, obviously all of them were here to celebrate the birthday of the king of the East China Sea, which showed that this sixteen-year-old young prince was very popular in the capital.
The team of knights didn't search carefully, but after reading the name cards handed by the children of each family, they let them go one by one, and when Yu Tiao handed over the name post, the young general did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed, and said with a smile to Yu Tiao: "Zunfu Wulang has arrived first, if Yu Jun wants to go to the meeting, the last general can lead Yu Jun to enter first." ”
Yu Tiao waved his hand and said: "This is not necessary, I have a group of friends with me." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Shen Zhezi next to him and said, "This one is the son of Xiling Gong, Shen Langjun, the son of Wuxing Shen Zhezi, walking with me." ”
When the young general heard this introduction and looked at Shen Zhezi again, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked, "But the Wuzhong Yulang Jun who wrote "The Wanderer's Yin" a few days ago? ”
Seeing the other party's expression, Shen Zhezi felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, it turned out that his fame was no longer limited to Wuzhong, and even the subordinate officials of the East China Sea Mansion had heard of his poem. So he also smiled slightly and bowed his head lightly.
"Shen Lang's poems are sincere and simple, expressing the indescribable nostalgia of our wanderers."
The general gave Shen Zhezi a deep salute, but after seeing the many tribulations behind Shen Zhezi, his face showed a little embarrassment: "Could it be that these strong men are all Shen Lang's subordinates?" ”
"What's wrong with that?" Yu Tiao said a little unpleasantly beside him.
The general hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's just that there are quite a lot of people who come to congratulate the king today, and there is a limit for those who enter the park." Shen Lang can move forward with the order of the last general, and he has a special person to guide and settle the attaché. ”
As he spoke, he took out a small talisman from his bosom and handed it to Shen Zhezi, and said, "Please put this talisman close to Shen Lang, and I will go to the meeting to get it back later." ”
After a check, the group was released. Continue to walk a distance, and then arrive at a densely populated area, sure enough, the many attachés behind Shen Zhezi are quite attention-grabbing, and several times someone stepped forward to ask, Shen Zhezi showed the talisman given by the general to go unimpeded.
When they finally arrived at the gate of the villa, everyone had to get off the bus, and each person could only bring three attachés inside. Although Shen Zhezi had this talisman in hand, he only brought ten additional people, and as for the rest of the troops, they were all led to a temporary camp next to the river valley to rest temporarily.
This garden villa is extremely magnificent, at least a dozen hectares of area, and the entrance hall has its own royal servant steward who is responsible for registering the guests who come to congratulate, and dividing the guests according to the identity of the guests and the weight of the gifts. Shen Zhezi entered with everyone in turn, signed his name in the foyer, and asked people to present the gifts.
The member of the royal palace who was in charge of registration was surprised when he saw a southerner portal at first glance, but when he saw the gift list presented by the Shen family, his expression showed a trace of disdain, and he casually threw a "C" number plate.
Shen Zhezi didn't think so, and was waiting for the servant to put away the number plate, but Yu Tiao's face sank after seeing this, and he smashed the "A" number plate he received on the other party's face: "If you say how many gifts you need to get for the word C, my family's overflowing gift goods will be returned quickly!" ”
Their line of people or because of the door, or because of the situation, or because of the gift differences, the number plate is not the same, seeing Yu Tiao shouting, the people who have already entered are also rushing back, throwing back their respective license plates, have asked for a change of C. For a while, more than 20 license plates were thrown back and scattered at the feet of the subordinate officials of the palace, and when the subordinate officials saw this, their faces were already pale, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
This group of people blocked in front of the courtyard, which immediately caused a lot of turmoil, but Yu Tiao had no intention of calming people, pulled Shen Zhezi to the side of the road, and sneered: "Dog-eyed viewing, it's really disgusting!" We waited for the grand intention to come, but were bowed down, and today I will teach the slaves of this royal palace what is the way of hospitality. ”
"What kind of gentleman of etiquette are you waiting for, who dares to speak out and teach hospitality to others?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from not far away, Shen Zhezi and Yu Tiao turned their heads to look, only to see a young man wearing a royal robe with a gloomy face and walking over.
