Ying Xuan and Yue Fei chatted freely in the room, and the time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was noon.

Under the leadership of the maid, Ying Xuan and Yue Fei walked all the way through the various courtyards of the mansion and came to an open space covering an area of 1,000 meters.

At this time, the maids and servants who were hosting the banquet arranged the 100 tables in four columns, with 25 seats in each row.

Under the leadership of the maid, Yue Fei achieved the third position in the second case, Yue Fei knew that there was no position for Ying Xuan here, so he pulled Ying Xuan and kept doing it.

In less than a stick of incense, the guests gradually arrived after the deacon's shout.

Ying Xuan looked around, looking for Zhang Yi's traces. Although he didn't know Zhang Yi's face, Zhang Yi was still swimming in shallow water at this moment, and he could recognize Zhang Yi at a glance as long as he looked at his clothes.

Yue Fei saw Ying Xuan looking around and asked, "Special envoy, but you're not feeling well?" ”

"It's okay..."Ying Xuan's eyes glanced around, but he didn't see any trace of Zhang Yi, and replied with a hint of loss.

Ying Xuan thought about it and thought about it, there was only one possibility, that is, Zhang Yi's identity was not qualified enough to come here, so he could only have a banquet in the outer courtyard, so he asked Yue Fei, "Marshal Yue, I don't know where the guests in this mansion are feasting?" ”

"Naturally, it is in the outer courtyard, there are so many people with noble status in this place, and the status and reputation of the clan are so important, they will definitely not let the first-order guests come here for a banquet." Although Yue Fei didn't know, he could guess it.

Ying Xuan knew in his heart and said, "I see..."

"Ling Yin arrives!"

The housekeeper shouted loudly, and everyone stood up, yearning for Zhaoyang Ling, who was walking on the stage, Ling Yin Xing, and shouted in unison, "Congratulations to Lord Yin for destroying the Yue and attacking Tang!" ”

Ying Xuan also stood up at this time, and looked at the stage with his eyes, only to see a man over forty years old with gray temples walking to the stage with his chest puffed up, looking at everyone present with a hint of depth in his eyes, and then stretched out his hands and pressed down, "You can be here today, Zhaoyang is grateful!" Toast as a token of appreciation! ”

After speaking, Zhaoyang raised a glass of Chu State wine and signaled to everyone, and drank it in one gulp.

"Ling Yin has a good amount of wine!"

As soon as he drank his stomach, some people from the Chu State began to pat their ass. It caused a burst of disdain in the hearts of the neighboring countries present.

"It's not too early, Ah Fu, tell the following to serve the food quickly!"

"Yui!"

The old butler Ah Fu promised and trotted down.

After a while, a hundred graceful women of prime age walked in outside the garden, each holding a gold plate in their hands and handing it to each adult's table.

There were more than a dozen trips back and forth one after another, and every table was filled with delicious food.

Many of the people present were of extraordinary status and recognized many of the rare ingredients on the plate, which cost at least two or three hundred taels of gold per table, and there were also many precious ingredients that could not be sold even if they were rich.

This banquet alone costs tens of thousands of taels of gold for the dishes and wine alone, and Ying Xuan has a new concept of the heritage of the Chu family in his heart.

You must know that in troubled times, the value of this gold is very high, you can buy a wooden house for one tael of gold, and ten taels of gold can buy a house. Of course, this also depends on the city, if Xiang Yingdu is like a first-tier city, it is naturally every inch of land, and the price of buying a house elsewhere can only buy a wooden house here.

Half of the people present were also officials and envoys sent by some neighboring and vassal countries, and after seeing the background of the Chu State, their faces changed a little.

After carefully observing the changes on the faces of those official envoys, Zhaoyang Ling Yin showed a very satisfied smile and nodded, "Time is in a hurry, and it is not well taken care of." Apologize with thin wine! ”

After speaking, he raised his wine glass to everyone, corresponding to a glass.

Ying Xuan absentmindedly thought about how to get out of here and find Zhang Yi, after everyone drank the wine, Ying Xuan still held the wine glass in his hand and thought...

Ling Yin noticed Ying Xuan, who was stunned, looked at Yue Fei and asked, "Marshal Yue, I don't know who this one is next to you?" ”

"This is my envoy of the Song Kingdom, Qin Xuan!"

Yue Fei and Ying Xuan also really have a tacit understanding, and without communication, they are all thinking about changing their surnames to national characters.

"It turned out to be the envoy of the Song Kingdom, Zhaoyang was rude!" Zhaoyang first bowed to Ying Xuan, and then asked Yue Fei, "Didn't the Song Kingdom send Marshal Yue to the banquet, so..."

Ying Xuan had already come back to his senses at this time, stood up and gave a back to Zhaoyang, took out the box containing the imperial jade, and said, "Just two days after Marshal Yue went to Chu, my king occasionally got a piece of rare jade, and when he thought that the gift sent to Chu was not sincere enough, he asked the envoy to send this beautiful jade before the banquet of Ling Yin, and he has witnessed the friendship between Chu and Song!" ”

Zhaoyang is also a person who loves to collect rare treasures, heard that there is this beautiful jade, interested, and said happily, "Thank you King Song for your love, Zhaoyang is ashamed!" ”

When Zhaoyang finished speaking, Ying Xuan handed the box containing the imperial jade to the old butler Ah Fu.

Zhaoyang took the box and opened it with a hint of anticipation...

A beam of brilliant green light came out from the crack of the box, and the green streamer was like an aura tossing and turning on Meiyu's body, and the ghostly jade made Zhaoyang take a deep breath. Praised: "The beauty of this jade is the only thing I have seen in my life!" It is not weaker than the sum of my Chu country! ”

However, what Zhaoyang didn't know was that the value of these two pieces of jade had changed dramatically after a thousand years, and just this piece of imperial jade in Zhaoyang's hand could buy a hill of He's Bi!

How did Zhaoyang look at Ying Xuan at this time, and said, "The special envoy of Annoying Lao went back to express his sincere gratitude to King Song for Zhaoyang!" ”

Ying Xuan was still a little heartbroken, and reluctantly smiled, "You should be like this!" ”

The two of them were shocked by their words, and they were secretly wondering if the gifts they gave were enough. Even Yue Fei didn't expect Ying Xuan to be able to come up with a piece of beautiful jade that made Zhaoyang so out of shape!

Seeing that Yue Fei seemed to be looking through his gaze, Ying Xuan smiled and winked at him, and drank alone.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone also had a good time. Although you can suppress it and not let yourself lose your temper, you can't help but move your chopsticks in the face of so many precious delicacies, and you can't help but show your gaffe.

Only Ying Xuan sat calmly, only moved his chopsticks twice on the dishes on the table, and drank the wine alone.

It's not that Ying Xuan is pretending, it's just that in his previous life, as an archaeologist, he traveled all over the place, basically ate the dishes of China's eight major cuisines, and occasionally went to a Michelin restaurant, for these delicacies on the table, Ying Xuan just barely gave a good evaluation.

Zhaoyang naturally saw that Ying Xuan was only drinking fine wine on the side, and rarely moved chopsticks. He smiled and asked, "Song Envoy is not satisfied with the dishes?" ”

Ying Xuan pretended to be sad and sighed, "The delicacies of Ling Yin's Mansion are really what the envoy has seen in his life, but every time he makes chopsticks, he thinks that hundreds of people in the world are living a life without food, and the envoy no longer has the face to move chopsticks!" ”

As soon as Ying Xuan said a child's words, some people who were raising their chopsticks to eat were ashamed to put down the chopsticks in their hands.

"The Song envoy is a model of a true scholar! The pure heart of worrying about the country and the people makes me and other elders embarrassed~" Zhaoyang was also moved by Ying Xuan's words, and couldn't help but want to accept this young man for Chu Guozhi.

Ying Xuan raised his hand solemnly and shamelessly responded, "Ling Yin has won the award~ It is really my generation's thing to do for the people of the world." ”

"Hehe~ Song Envoy is really a model for my generation! It's just that I heard that the Song envoy was a native of Xiqi, and I heard that Xiqi was thin and sparsely populated, and the people's livelihood was poor. Why don't you share the worries of the people in your homeland? ”

A contemptuous voice came from the opposite side, and Ying Xuan looked at it, only to see Jing Yifan looking at him with a sneer......
