Xihuahou Mansion had already received the news of Shi Zhan's return in advance, early in the morning, the whole mansion was busy with chickens and dogs, killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, as festive as the New Year, but until noon, Shi Min did not come back, this Gu mother and others were also waiting a little puzzled.

Finally, Xu San and Liuzi, who went to the barracks to inquire about the situation, came back. As soon as she entered the door, Gu's mother grabbed Xu San and asked, "The third child, where is the son?" Why didn't I come back with you? ”
Xu San looked at everyone's appearance of looking through the autumn water, and said with some embarrassment: "That...... What's that...... Gongzi was invited by His Royal Highness King Yan to the Yan Palace, and he should come back after dinner. ”
"What about all this food? Who else have I prepared so much chicken, duck and fish meat for? Gu's mother asked.
At this time, Qin Wan was wearing a coarse cloth dress, rolling up her sleeves, holding a pile of firewood and passing by the front yard, and saw that Xu San, Gu's mother and others were all there, but Shi Min was missing, so she asked, "Uncle Xu, where is the son?" Why are you all standing here? ”
Xu San smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Childe still has something to do, and he may have to come back later in the evening." ”
"Only back in the evening?" Qin Wan wondered.
"It's okay, it's okay, everyone has worked hard, these chickens, ducks and fish, sister-in-law, you make a part for everyone to eat first, you've been busy all morning, and it's also hard! I'll do the rest when Childe returns. Xu San hurriedly played a round.
"I'll just say, you're just talking nonsense, ruining so many things." Gu's mother muttered.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't say cool words, what should you do." Xu San said, glancing at Qin Wan.
After listening to Xu San's words, Qin Wan lowered her head, didn't say anything, turned around with firewood and walked away.
The palace of King Yan was very lively, Shi Shi knew that Shi Min, Wang Shicheng and Li Chang were not good women, so they did not arrange singing and dancing performances, but they prepared a lot of wine and delicacies.
"Your Highness, thank you for your hospitality today, this glass of wine, humble duty first as a respect!" Although Wang Shicheng is a rough man, compared with Li Chang, he is coarse and fine, and he is sober-minded.
Shi Shi picked up the wine bottle with a smile and replied: "What did General Wang say, don't say that this king and your general are brothers, even if they are strangers, as long as they are from Zhao State, they should treat a few of you." The Xiongnu and Qiang people have plagued the Central Plains for many years, although this time they did not break their muscles and bones, but they tore off a piece of meat from them, and did not disgrace Zhao State, this glass of wine, it should be this king to respect you! ”
Shi Shi said, taking a sip of it.
Wang Shicheng hurriedly drank the wine in the cup and nodded to Shi Shi.
Li Chang on the side didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two, he drank heartily, and Shi Shi, who was sitting on the main seat, laughed softly and asked, "General Li is really massive!" I wonder what the general thinks of the wine in this king's mansion? ”
Li Chang didn't seem to hear Shi Shi's words, tore a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and then poured another glass of wine, and the people from the Yan Wang's Mansion on the side hurriedly filled the wine bottle again.
"Second uncle! Your Highness asks you! Shi Min reminded in a whisper on the side.
"Huh?" Li Chang raised his head and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he hurriedly swallowed the contents of his mouth and asked, "What did Your Highness say just now?" ”
Seeing that Li Chang didn't seem to hear Shi Shi's words at all, Wang Shicheng and Shi Min suddenly felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Unexpectedly, Shi Shi said with a smile: "It seems that General Li is a straightforward person!" ”
"That's nature! I ......"
"Ahem!" Wang Shicheng on the side suddenly coughed twice.
When Li Chang heard Wang Shicheng's cough, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly picked up the wine bottle, and said to Shi Shiyi: "Humble your duty to respect His Royal Highness King Yan for a cup!" ”
"General Li, please!" Shi Shi did not show any dissatisfaction with Li Chang's rudeness just now.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Bao opened his mouth and said to Shi Min: "Master Min, I heard that this time you ran thousands of miles and killed the Huns and Qiang people, we are all people who have never been on the battlefield, I wonder if Gongzi can tell me and others, how did you lead your subordinates to fight against the Huns and Qiangs?" Let me wait and open my eyes. ”
Shi Min said with some embarrassment: "Lord Zhang is polite, Shi Min is just a fledgling boy, how can he have any ability to open the eyes of His Royal Highness King Yan and all the adults." ”
"Xiao Min, this king has heard that the leader of the Qiang tribe ran away when he saw you, and the bravery of the Xiongnu Shan Yu shook Mobei, and he failed to pass twenty rounds under you. I think that when your father fought with the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the battle lasted for nearly a hundred rounds, which shows that your martial arts have long been better than your father, you are so martial at a young age, how can you not share the matter of this battle with this king and several adults here? ”
"When my father fought with the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the two were in the prime of life, and now the little nephew and the Xiongnu Shan Yu have been fighting for 20 years, thinking that the Xiongnu Shan Yu is also old and decrepit, no longer the courage of the year, in this case, he is not defeated by the little nephew, and it does not mean that the little nephew's martial arts are better than his father." Shi Min looked at Shi Shi and said with a slight smile: "The little nephew has watched his father practice martial arts since he was a child, and to this day, he knows in his heart that there is still a distance between him and his father when it comes to martial arts. ”
After Shi Min finished speaking, everyone nodded and praised, Zhang Bao bowed to Shi Min and said: "Min Gongzi is not only both civil and military, but also introverted, not arrogant or impatient, which really makes me admire." The Marquis of Xihua has a son like this, he is really envious of others, and His Majesty will be like this, which is really a blessing for the people of Zhao State. ”
After Zhang Bao finished speaking, the other ministers present also toasted Shi Min one after another, and said a few baskets of praise, and Shi Min naturally heard it, these are just scene words.
Hearing that Shi Min was going to come to the mansion as a guest, the pearl of Shi Shi's palm, the lord of Yan Wang's Mansion Xin had already thought about secretly observing this perfect young man in Zhang Leopard's mouth. Soon after the banquet began, Lord Xin hid behind a pillar not far away and quietly observed Shi Min.
After several conversations between Zhang Bao and Shi Shi and Shi Min, Shi Min's extraordinary bearing made Lord Xin, a young girl who had just fallen in love, a little admired.
Zhang Bao and Shi Shi had already discovered the Lord of Xin who was hiding in the dark to observe, and when Zhang Bao found that Lord Xin was looking at Shi Min with peach blossoms on his face, he knew that this daughter of the Yan Palace's Mansion had already admired this Min Gongzi very much, so he quietly glanced at Shi Shi.
Shi Shixin understood and said to Shi Min: "Xiao Min, this king has a daughter, you two met a few times when you were young, and it is estimated that you have no impression. I heard about you yesterday, and said that I wanted to toast you with a glass of wine in person, I wonder if Xiao Min would like to give your sister a thin piece of noodles? ”
Shi Min thought for a moment and asked, "Is Your Highness talking about Sister Xin'er?" ”
Zhang Bao and Shi Shi smiled heartily, and Shi Shi said: "I didn't expect you to remember, that's right, it's Xin'er." ”
"Sister Xin'er is almost eighteen years old this year, right? My nephew remembers the last time I saw him, ten years ago, on His Majesty's fiftieth birthday. ”
"Yes, yes, in that case, come on!" Shi Shi shouted.
"What does Your Highness command?"
"Go and ask the county lord!" Shi Shi said, glancing at Lord Xin, who was hiding in the shadows.
"Yes!"
When Lord Xin heard that Shi Shi asked people to invite her, he hurriedly turned around and left, but he didn't expect that he was not careful, and he hit the pillar with a "bang", and Lord Xin said "ouch", and the tears of pain almost came out.
"What sound?" Shi Min, Li Chang and the others turned to look, only to see a woman with a good figure squatting on the ground, covering her forehead with her hand.
Shi Shi was a little embarrassed when he saw that his baby daughter was ugly, and hurriedly said, "Xin'er, why are you here?" ”
When Lord Xin heard Shi Shi call her, she stood up a little embarrassed, turned to look at Shi Min and the others, and shouted to Shi Shixing, "Father, ......"
Shi Shi originally wanted Lord Xin to leave a good impression on Shi Min, but he didn't expect that his baby daughter almost dismantled his stage at a critical moment, and his face was suddenly unnatural.
Fortunately, Zhang Bao reacted quickly, and hurriedly got up and saluted the county lord of Xin and said, "Meet the county lord." ”
Shi Min and the others were naturally not fools, and immediately understood that this was the county lord Xin in Shi Shi's mouth, so they quickly got up together, saluted her respectfully, and shouted: "Meet the county lord Xin!" ”
Lord Xin hurriedly returned the salute and glanced at Shi Min a little shyly.
