Chapter 241: Night Banquet (4)

Na Zhe was muttering in his heart, and a middle-aged man who looked like a steward came over and said unhappily, "What are you two doing?" Let you entertain guests, you are in a daze here. Are you two uncomfortable? ”

A family member came back to his senses, and he said excitedly: "Steward Li, this gentleman is the legendary gentleman." He is now a popular figure in Jinling City! We brothers were lucky enough to meet a real person today. That's why I was stunned for a while. ”

That's secretly funny, Lao Tzu is not a girl in the yard, these two bastards actually said that Lao Tzu is a popular figure, it's really uncultured.

The person in charge smiled and saluted, and he crossed his hands and did not leave the square inch: "Please bear with me, forgive these two ignorant guys." You are all distinguished guests, and Shangshu Mansion is a little sluggish. Please come with me. ”

At this time, Zhang Jinxi and Zhang Hongsheng, who were in the back, also got out of the car and walked over.

Cao Deshun said to the steward: "This housekeeper, the two sons behind me, are the yamen of Mr. Zhang, a member of the household department. Wailang and you Shangshu are good friends, please let these two sons go in together. ”

The steward said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, Zhang Yuanwailang is a frequent visitor to the house, and his son-in-law is also a distinguished guest." Please come with me. ”

Zhang Hongsheng exchanged a few polite words with the steward, then pulled his younger brother and entered the side door with Cao Deshun and Na Zhe.

The steward led the people through the courtyard and walked for a few minutes until they came to the outside of a tall and majestic building.

The house is grand and spacious. All five gates were open, and many people came in and out. Among them are personable scholars, seductive singers, dignified officials, and some servants and maids.

Zhang Hongsheng and Zhang Jinxi saw a few acquaintances, and were immediately dragged away.

Some people who knew Cao Deshun came over and greeted him with a smile. Cao Deshun returned the salute one by one, and did not dare to snub anyone.

At this time, a hearty laugh came from not far away, "Haha, Mr. Cao, the one next to you, but the gentleman who has been popular in Jinling City recently?" ”

Na Zhe looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found a middle-aged man with a long body and a face like a crown of jade, walking over with a smile.

Na Zhe saw that he was wearing a red official uniform, with a slight mustache on his lips, and his face was radiant, he was definitely a handsome guy.

Cao Deshun hurriedly saluted: "It turned out to be Shu Langzhong, Cao was rude." He turned back to Na Zhe and said, "Brother Xian, let me introduce to you, this is Han Shangshu's protégé, Mr. Shu in the current official worship department, you should get close." ”

Na Zhe was secretly surprised in his heart, and saw a character who appeared in "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" again. This person is Han Xizai's proud protégé Shu Ya, he is a native of Anhui, he won the champion more than ten years ago, and his poetry and writing are very good, so he is famous in Jiangnan.

Shu Ya was also observing Na Zhe, he saw that Na Zhe was well-proportioned, wearing a royal blue silk shirt, his hair was scattered, and he had the uninhibited demeanor of a literati in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

The two saluted each other at the same time, and then exchanged a few polite words.

The people around heard the conversation of several people, and some people exclaimed: "Nalan Rongruo's descendants are here, everyone come and see!" ”

Many people flocked to it, and soon surrounded Cao Deshun, Na Zhe, and Shu Ya.

A few girls dressed as singers screamed, pulled at the placket of Na Zhe's clothes, and said nothing to let go.

Na Zhe was strongly watched by so many people, and it was the first time in his life. He was touched and pulled by an unknown number of people, his clothes were torn, and his hair was messy.

Na Zhe was very embarrassed, and he couldn't laugh or cry. Cao Deshun wanted to protect him, but there were too many people around him, and even he couldn't protect himself, and he was squeezed around, and he was quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

Shu Ya was young after all, and he was tall, he tried his best to block behind Na Zhe with his body, and shouted in his mouth: "Don't squeeze everyone, that gentleman will perform for you tonight." ”

But no one listened to Shu Ya's words, everyone rushed to Na Zhe, and the scene was very chaotic.

Cao Deshun was very anxious outside the crowd, he hurriedly called a servant of the Han Mansion, and then asked eagerly: "This little brother, where is Han Shangshu?" Hurry up and report to him, or something big will happen." ”

The servants ran away immediately, and Cao Deshun ran towards the gate of the Han Mansion again, wanting to ask Steward Li to find someone to rescue Na Zhe.

He soon ran to the side door of the Han Mansion and saw Steward Li greeting guests.

Cao Deshun hurriedly ran over, panting and shouting: "Steward Li, hurry up and gather people, something big has happened!" ”

Seeing that Cao Deshun looked a little angry, Steward Li hurriedly asked, "Mr. Cao, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”

"Come with me, or the gentleman will be in danger." Many people surrounded him and Shu Langzhong, and now the scene is very chaotic, everyone is crowded together, there is a high probability that there will be a stampede, I am afraid that there will be deaths! ”

Steward Li was taken aback, and he immediately shouted, "Everyone come with me, something big is going to happen!" ”

The soldiers and family members guarding the gate agreed loudly, and then ran into the side door with Cao Deshun and Steward Li.

Everyone ran quickly and soon came to the location of the incident.

It's still chaotic, with many women screaming and people crowding wildly.

Steward Li yelled: "Pull them all away, quick!" ”

The soldier lowered his weapon and rushed into the crowd with his family. They pulled away some people, both men and women. Some men tried to resist, but they were beaten up by the soldiers and thrown aside.

The family didn't dare to beat people like soldiers, so they tried to pull away some crazy people lightly, and then persuaded them with kind words.

At this time, a group of people rushed over outside, and Cao Deshun took a closer look, it should be the protectors and servants of the Han Mansion. The men hurried into the crowd, pulling the still crowded people apart one by one, and then pushed them aside.

After a while, the crowd gradually separated, and the people slowly calmed down, revealing Na Zhe and Shu Ya in the encirclement.

Both of them were embarrassed, their coats were torn, and there were still a few blood marks on Shu Ya's handsome face.

At this time, several people walked in from outside the courtyard, led by an old man, who was dressed in a black robe, wearing a high crown on his head, with a burly body and a long face and beautiful hair.

The old man walked over quickly and said in a loud voice, "Whatever this looks like, spread out." ”

When everyone saw the old man, they bowed down one after another. He said, "Shangshu is fine." ”

The old man nodded slightly, and then walked towards the crowd.

Shu Ya hurriedly came over to salute: "Master Han, the student is ashamed, he was frightened for failing to protect that gentleman." ”

Na Zhe looked at this old man carefully, and saw that his dress and appearance were very similar to Han Xizai in "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", and knew that he was Han Xizai, the secretary of the military department of the Southern Tang Dynasty today.

Na Zhe kept his hand in his hand, and said with a smile: "I bothered Han Shangshu, it was all caused by me, and I am very sorry." ”

Han Xizai waved his hand: "What's the matter, that gentleman doesn't need to blame himself." It was the old man's inconsiderate thinking that made Mr. feel wronged. ”

"Where, where, Han Shangshu is serious, and the students dare not be ashamed.

Han Xizai glanced around and saw that a few people were injured, so he hurriedly said: "Steward Li, immediately go and ask Lang Zhong to treat the injured, don't spare money, go and invite Lang Zhong, who is highly skilled." ”

Steward Li left in a hurry, and Han Xizai visited the injured one by one, and then comforted them a few words.

The servants and maids of the Han Mansion began to take care of the wounded, and then invited the onlookers to enter the lobby and settle down.

After a while, the scene was brought under control and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Xizai stroked his beard and said to Na Zhe: "Sir, please come with the old man, let's go to a quiet place." ”

He led everyone out of the courtyard, turned a few corners, and came to a secluded courtyard.

The servants of the Han Mansion pushed open the courtyard door and respectfully invited everyone in.

Han Xizai walked into the courtyard first, went straight to the door of a room, pushed the door in.

Na Zhe, Cao Deshun, and Shu Ya accompanied Han Xizai into the room, and Han Xizai smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, please take a seat, don't be restrained." ”

Na Zhe observed this small room and found that there were very few furnishings in the room, only a few chairs. On the north side of the house, there is a shrine with a Buddha statue enshrined in it, and candles and incense are burned on the offering table.

Han Xizai opened his mouth and said: "This is a place for the old man to meditate, and few people usually come. Let's all sit down. ”

By this time it was already dark, and several servants came in and lit candles. Then they all went out and closed the door.

Han Hee-jae sat down on the chair in the middle.

Shu Ya asked Cao Deshun and Na Zhe to sit down, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on his face.

Han Xizai asked with concern, "Shu Ya, is the injury on your face serious?" Let's go find Lang Zhong and take a look. ”

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days. Thank you Han Shi for your concern. ”

Han Xizai said to Cao Deshun again: "Mr. Cao, the old man is negligent, it is indeed the fault of the Han Mansion tonight, please don't blame you and that gentleman, and take care of it more." ”

Cao Deshun hurriedly got up: "Han Shangshu is serious, it's not your fault, it's all that Brother Zhe is not good, who made him so swaggering?" He attracted so many people who wanted to get close to him, which is why such a thing happened. ”

Everyone laughed, and Na Zhe shook his head helplessly: "I don't have a show, Brother Cao, you speak with your conscience, since a certain family came to Jinling City, it's not that you want to show off, and then take me to all kinds of banquets." I'm a shallow drinker, and I'm almost not dying these days! It's all your work. ”

Han Xizai laughed, and Shu Ya took over the conversation: "I was not good just now, I was so excited when I saw that gentleman, I couldn't help shouting loudly, which attracted everyone's attention, and caused the incident." ”
