The courtyard is another world, with various buildings looming among the countless pines and cypresses, evergreen plants everywhere, the afterglow of the setting sun exudes the last warmth, and the smell of the incense burner makes people feel like they are in spring.

In the middle was a two-story wide building, and along the path, Wu Zhi and Murong Yanda walked straight into the building.

As soon as he entered the room, Wu Zhi suddenly felt a dazzle, and when he looked at it, Wu Zhi couldn't help but be slightly moved, only to see that the walls in this room were inlaid with all kinds of gemstones, including agate, crystal, opal, obsidian, and gold and jade, which were all inlaid on the wall by skilled craftsmen according to landscape paintings, which was simply blinding at first glance.

"this Nima is really extravagant"

Wu Zhi couldn't help but marvel in his heart, but looking at Murong Yanda next to him, his eyes showed a little coldness.

"Haha Wuzhi, Uncle Guo"

A burst of laughter came, and a middle-aged man wearing a crimson man's coat came to the hall, the middle-aged man had a mustache, a white appearance, a long face, thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and his head was always slightly raised.

"Xianggong Wang, it's polite." Murong Yanda politely hugged him.

"Uncle Guo can come, it really makes the humble house shine," Wang Hao said with a smile.

Wu Zhi next to him had 10,000 grass and mud horses running over in his heart, this kind of mansion is still called "Humble House", so the people in the world are not slums

"Wu Zhi see Wang Xianggong."

Wu Zhi also gave a salute, how can Wang Hao say that he is also the deputy prime minister, one of the heads of the hundred officials, Murong Yanda can intersect with a peaceful courtesy, but Wu Zhi cannot.

"Oh, Wuzhi, you don't have to be polite, this is not in the court" Wang Hao smiled and straightened Wuzhi, and said: "Let's go to each other in private, just be casual, haha." ”

Wu Zhi smiled modestly, he knew that Wang Hao was polite, and an arrogant person like him, if Wu Zhi lost half of his courtesy, he would probably be unhappy.

"Two, please upstairs, everyone has arrived, just two."

With that, Wang Hao led Wu Zhi and Murong Yanda towards the stairs.

"Xianggong Wang invited us to a banquet this time, but what is the reason" As he walked, Murong Yanda asked.

In fact, he was asking for Wu Zhi, he knew that Wang Huang invited him to belong to the number of courtesies, and it was nothing, but it was a little extraordinary to invite Wu Zhi.

"The reason for this is to walk around with everyone more."

Wang Hao looked at Wu Zhi with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, after Brother Wu Zhi came to Bianjing, we haven't been close to each other, and I blame me for being too negligent, this time you must eat and drink here to the fullest." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Wang Xianggong is busy with official business, and Wu Zhi didn't dare to bother him before."

"Haha"

Hearing Wu Zhi speak like this, Wang Hao smiled and said: "Where, it is our duty as courtiers to contribute to the country, even if we do our best, we have no regrets." ”

"Whew"

Wu Zhi showed admiration on his face, but he was disgusted by Wang Hao's shameless words in his heart, but Wang Hao said the same as the truth, it seems that he is honing his face.

"By the way, Wu Zhi, I heard that you taught Your Majesty a little game called mahjong again," Wang Hao asked suddenly.

"Yes, it's an improvement on the original card." Wu Zhi replied.

The Song Dynasty will already appear mahjong, but the cards are not complete, and there are not so many ways to play, Zhao Ji plays all day long fighting the landlord Wu Zhi is afraid that he is tired of playing, so now he has begun to teach Zhao Ji mahjong in later generations, mahjong This kind of thing, Wu Zhi has a deep experience, that is not tired of playing

"Well, Your Majesty has already taught me this game, it's really fun" Wang Hao paused for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty also said that I will also join the card game in the future, but I am not very familiar with mahjong, and I will ask Wu Zhi for more advice from you in the future."

"Don't dare, don't dare, if the prince has a question, he will definitely give it to him."

It's strange to teach each other

Hearing Wang Hao's words, Wu Zhi was relieved, and he was secretly happy, no wonder Wang Hao suddenly invited himself to the banquet, it turned out to be because of this

In the past, it was enough to fight the landlord Zhao Ji with Wu Zhi and Li Yan, and occasionally change a few other favorites to play a few, but although others can easily learn to fight the landlord, they don't know the skills of fighting the landlord at all.

In Zhao Ji's words, playing cards with Wu Zhi Li Yan is thrilling and enjoyable, as well as a sense of achievement.

Naturally, these big vernacular words were learned from Wu Zhi.

And after teaching Zhao Ji mahjong, there is a lack of three, playing cards, everyone wants to play with their good friends, this is human nature, so Zhao Ji thought of Wang Huang for the first time, and pulled him here.

Because of the landlord, Li Yan is now bowing to Wu Zhi, and now Wang Hao has also entered the card game, and the technical content of mahjong playing is very high, if you want to do it quietly for Zhao Ji to eat, it is even more difficult to put Zhao Ji's cannon, with this "core technology" Wu Zhi can knock Wang Huang and Li Yan's bamboo bar fiercely.

"Hey, hey"

Laughing secretly, Wu Zhi finally soothed his body, knew Wang Hao's original intention, and all that was left was to go to the banquet, since everyone was about to be card friends, then Wu Zhi should teach them the nine hundred and ninety-nine ways of playing mahjong in the future.

Upstairs was a very spacious hall, which was already full of high-ranking officials from the court and the central government, and when these people saw Wang Hao bringing Wu Zhi and Murong Yanda up, they all came over to salute one by one.

They are also very polite to Wu Zhi, firstly, because everyone saw Wang Hao's attitude towards Wu Zhi, so they followed the trend; The second is because although Wu Zhi has not been treated well by everyone in the court, after all, Wu Zhi has been in the court for so long, and he has always been kind to everyone, and he has not been blind to anyone because he is favored by the emperor, nor has he robbed other officials of oil and water, so after a long time, many officials who do not belong to Zhu Mian's forces are not very disgusted with Wu Zhi, and everyone agrees that Wu Zhi is a member of the officials.

But Wu Zhi knew in his heart that the reason why they were all very polite to him now was that the gifts that Wu Zhi had prepared for them this time were very valuable

There is no way, Wu Zhi is now new to the court, so he naturally wants to lower his posture and bribe to please these officials, not to ask them to look down on him, but to be less troublesome in the future.

In fact, Wu Zhi was also very unhappy in his heart when he whispered like this, but he now has financial resources, but he has no power, and if he wants others to turn against him, he can only forbear it first, and then hold the power in his hands, and the money that will be sent out, Wu Zhi must squeeze all the money out of these officials

This will be a banquet for dignitaries and nobles is not like the Wu Zhi family, everyone eats and drinks around a round table, but like the Han and Tang Dynasties, a hall in the main seat of a delicate long table, and then on both sides of the hall in turn placed small long tables and cushions, each guest occupies a table, and so on, everyone while listening to the music of silk and bamboo, while enjoying the singing and dancing of the dancing girls in the hall, and then drinking and eating, chanting poems against each other, so that it is elegant to do a pie for the literati

Also, in all dynasties, there is no more elegant and enjoyable than the scholars of the Song Dynasty.
