Chapter 60: King De's Birthday Banquet

Sun Dan hurriedly handed Sun Hao and the others a color, and the three of them understood, and hurriedly ran towards the cabin. Running outside in the middle of the night, if the two ladies in the family know, they must be severely punished. What's more, Jiang Ruoying also disguised herself as a man and followed Sun Dan out to fool around.

Sun Dan was about to leave, when a wrench came over on the painting boat of King De on the opposite side, and someone jumped over and tied the two boats together with a cable.

Probably because Sun Dan was in the way, seeing that he was dressed ordinarily, he didn't look like a person with status. The subordinate had a rough attitude, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't stand in the way, delay King De's birthday, and hit you with a wrench." ”

Sun Dan was a little angry in his heart, he talked about food and clothing, although he had a little extra wealth, but because he had no fame, he couldn't wear a scholar's shirt, so he wore a patched cloth shirt casually every day, which looked very ordinary.

In order not to attract the attention of Mr. Li and them, Sun Dan held back his anger and was about to leave. Yang Shen was not happy, he had already loved Sun Dan just now, and Sun Dan was a child of the Sun family, so he had a good impression in his heart.

Yang Shen smiled, waved his sleeves, and pushed the subordinate away: "The shelves of King De's Mansion are so big, even a slave is as evil as Xu Xu." Tonight is the birthday of King De, and all the people who come are celebrities, you are so evil, and you are not afraid of losing the face of the palace? ”

The slave saw that Yang Shen was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly confessed his guilt and shrank aside.

Sun Dan got this opportunity and was about to leave, but Yang Shen stretched out his hand to grab him: "Little fellow, you can't go, tonight's literati gathering, I also got the invitation of King De." With your talent, you are also a rare handsome man in Shandong. If you don't attend, this party will be a lot less flavorful. ”

Sun Dan smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "I am a member of the Sun family, and I was chased by someone just now, and I deceived Mr. to say that I am a fellow villager in Sichuan, please forgive me." As for this banquet, Xiaosheng has a humble status, and he will be looked down upon if he goes. Besides, there are young talents from my grandson's family on the ship, so I am a shallow learner and go, but I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the teachers at home. ”

"When you are young, you always have to do some ridiculous things, Hugh said that you used to fight with others, and you were chased and beaten. When I was a child in Sichuan, I was also a naughty person, and I don't know how much trouble I caused my father at the beginning. Yang Shen smiled, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and looked at Sun Dan with an appreciative expression: "I think, young people cause some trouble, that's human nature, otherwise, this person is not normal." And, if you can't attend this banquet, who can. Do you have to be rich and powerful to attend? Why don't you find a bookkeeper to stand at the bow of the boat, ten taels of silver per person, and after paying the money, you can go on the boat to eat and drink. ”

"As for you saying that the Sun family has someone inside, and you are afraid of being laughed at." Yang Shen snorted lightly: "You were able to write such words and chapters just now, although it is a game work. Looking at the world, there are not many people with talent like you, so naturally you can go anywhere. Don't be afraid, just go in generously. A gentleman is upright and acts according to his nature. If you're as hypocritical as you are now, I'll look down on you first. ”

"Yes, sir." Sun Dan also laughed, "Just go in generously, sir, please." ”

Yang Shen smiled, pulled Sun Dan and strode to King De's boat, and shouted: "King De, Brother Zhengyuan, Yang Shen is here." After speaking, he glanced at Sun Dan intentionally or unintentionally, but saw Sun Dan's calm face.

Yang Shen nodded secretly, this son is calm by nature, and he is indeed a character.

Yang Shencai is famous all over the world and is in a high position, and it is a big thing for ordinary people to see him that is worth boasting about. There are few people like Sun Dan who look like normal.

How did Yang Shen know that Sun Dan had already confirmed his identity in his heart. Moreover, a modern person, after years of education in the legal system and democracy, has long been deeply rooted in the marrow of the concept of equality in his heart, and in addition to deeply admiring Yang Shen's talent, he does not feel that he is any different from ordinary people, nor does he feel that he is a head above himself.

Hearing Yang Shen's shout, a group of people walked out and said at the same time: "Bachelor Yang, I finally waited for you, and I thought you wouldn't come." ”

There were officials and scholars in this group, and among them, Sun Dan discovered Mr. Li and Sun Yue.

Mr. Li was obviously stunned when he saw Sun Dan and Yang Shen walking together. And that Sun Yue had a look of jealousy.

Sun Dan felt a little strange in his heart, how could this Sun Yue be jealous of himself.

After thinking about it, I immediately understood that Yang Shen had a noble status, and it was a very honorable thing to be able to come together with him.

King De was a gray-haired old man, and after a few words of greeting with Yang Shen, he pointed to Sun Dan and asked, "Bachelor Yang, who is this little brother?" ”

Yang Shen laughed, pushed Sun Dan to Mr. Li's side, and said, "King Yude, this little brother Sun Dan is a famous talent in Shandong, and he is also a good disciple trained by Brother Mei Ting. ”

King De: "To be respected by Xiao Yang, Sun Dan must be talented." Mei Ting is really, there is such a good disciple, and he doesn't bring it over. ”

"That's it, Mei Ting isn't interesting enough." Yang Shen laughed, and entered the cabin with everyone under the leadership of King De.

Li Meiting hurriedly grabbed Sun Dan and asked him why he did all the way with Yang Shen, of course Sun Dan would not tell him the truth, only said that he was bored at night, and he came out to walk around, and happened to meet Xiao Yang.

Li Meiting smiled: "Sun Dan, you are really lucky, you met Master Yang, and he praised you, soon, your talent and fame will spread throughout Shandong, and you will have a bright face as a teacher." He thinks that Sun Dan is only valued by Yang Shen, relying on the kung fu of endorsing and doing Baguwen, speaking of which, although he is a student with no talent, but these two hands are very capable of bluffing people.

Sun Yue, who was beside him, sneered lightly and whispered: "Sun Dan, you don't know how to do poetry and singing, don't talk nonsense when you enter the cabin, so as not to lose the face of my Sun family." ”

Before Sun Dan could speak, Mr. Li came to his senses and told him repeatedly: "I forgot about this stubble, Sun Dan, wait for you to sit next to me and don't talk, I'll help you with anything." ”

Sun Dan pouted unknowingly, and said in his heart: I didn't want to come here, but I naturally ate with my head bored, so I didn't bother to write any poems with you.

It's better to hide it than to hide it, making poetry couplets or something in the literati party, Sun Dan doesn't understand it, and he doesn't want to be in the limelight.

Fortunately, the food in King De's banquet was good, and Sun Dan didn't care about anything else, and focused on dealing with the plate of crabs in front of him.

There were not many people invited to this birthday banquet of King De, and there were only about a dozen people in total, all of whom were well-known scholars and dignitaries in Shandong. Among them were the prefect of Jinan, the governor of Shandong, and Wang Yuanzheng and Li Meiting, who were currently examined by the Shandong Academy.

Soon, Buguan took a few female actors to sing on the deck, which was one of the famous passages in the Ming Kunqu opera "The Story of Liu Zhiyuan and the White Rabbit".

Everyone here doesn't seem to be interested in Kunqu Opera, so they just want to have a lively time. Wang Yuanzheng and Yang Shen were colleagues of the Hanlin Academy, and the two of them were talking in a low voice. Li Meiting and the prefect of Jinan are old acquaintances of officialdom, and they can also talk energetically.

Only Sun Dan and Sun Yue couldn't interject, Sun Dan was dedicated to eating, then Sun Yue obviously had a lot of opinions about Sun Dan's eating appearance, and kept looking at him with his eyes.
