Chapter 31: Yang Wenjun's son
The wine glasses and jugs made of white jade show an unusual color, shining with a warm luster under the sunlight, and it seems that they are made of high-quality jade, but the beauty of this white jade is that there is a blood-colored drop mark on the top of the jug.
"Your Highness, please." Bai Jindao.
He handed the box to Tian Jian, but Tian Jian did not take the box, but motioned for Xiao Ai to catch the box.
Xiao Ai walked to Bai Jin's side from Tian Jian's side, and gave Bai Jin a blessing, the pale green Luo skirt covered the white wine jug, and the printed ribbon on the arm caressed the wine jug, Xiao Ai seemed to show the oldest etiquette in the court, picked up the white jade wine jug, slightly did not make a sound, the soft sound when the lid of the wine jug was opened, not the end, but the beginning, she held the silver wine jug high, and a purple amber-like liquid slid through the air in a graceful arc into the white jade wine jug, The crisp sound collided in the dull vessels, and the aroma of the wine wafted down the void to everyone's nostrils.
Finally, Xiao Ai completed this simple and long work, and everyone was relieved, but the greed in their hearts drove them to swallow their mouths inadvertently, the surface reserve and the slight greed revealed in their eyes constituted a great contrast, and the chilled grape wine was the water ripples that flashed in their calm minds.
In the end, Xiao Ai put the white jade wine jug in the middle of the two sides of ice, and then retreated behind Tian Jian, humble and polite.
After a while, Tian Jian smiled and said: "Brother Bai, it's time to drink at this time, but before drinking, I want to ask Brother Bai about the customs of the world, if Brother Bai answers wrong, then you must take out another jar of grape wine." ”
Bai Jin's eyes flashed with hesitation, to be honest, he was not interested in this kind of gamble that it was not beneficial to win, and he would "cut the meat" if he lost, but he couldn't stand Tian Jian's momentum, and refusing Tian Jian was self-destructing.
"Your Highness, it doesn't hurt to ask, Bai Jin has no other skills, but since he was a child, he has traveled to the world with his father, and everyone present, Bai Jin does not dare to exaggerate, but the customs, style, and brocade of the countries are also well understood." The corners of Bai Jin's mouth twitched, and he replied seemingly generously.
"Oh, really? I don't know what Brother Bai knows about the King of Chu and Yang Wenjun? Tian Jian pretended to be a curious baby, his eyes were full of excitement, and he asked with great interest.
Bai Jin flashed a trace of vigilance in his heart, and he was wary of Tian Jian, he still remembered that a month ago, he and his father went to Chu State, and heard rumors from the government and the opposition that the King of Chu was sick, and he was afraid that he would die soon, but the prince of Chu was detained in Qin of the tiger and wolf, the crown prince was unstable, and people were panicked!
Because he had a good relationship with some of the nobles of the Chu State, he played with them in Chen Ying (the capital of the Chu State), in which he and Yang Wenjun's eldest son Liao Sheng also became acquainted. But just as he was about to continue his relationship, his father stopped him.
"Jin'er, now that the crown prince of Chu is unstable, and the king of Chu is seriously ill, but have you heard of a king who is willing to hand over his throne to someone who has little affection with him." Bai Jin's father said these words to him meaningfully.
Since then, Bai Jin has closed his door, and his friends have stopped socializing, and he hides in the mansion every day.
For businessmen like Bai Jin, people like Tian Jian are worthy of their deep friendship, if there is no accident, Tian Jian will definitely succeed to the throne and become the king of Qi, and people like Yang Wenjun's son Liao Sheng He wants to avoid them, and the big businessmen need a trickle of water, not risky investment. What's more, people like Liao Sheng are on the cusp.
Bai Jin smiled and said: "Your Highness is really good to ask, now that the King of Chu is seriously ill, and the crown prince (Xiong Wan) is hostage in Qindi, isn't His Highness tempted?" ”
Tian Jian pretended to be surprised, and said: "Brother Bai, you don't understand this palace, Chu State has always been a good state with Qi State, what is the temptation of this palace, not to mention that Qi State is weak now, and the resistance to the Yan people has done its best, for Chu State, how can my Qi State have ulterior motives!" ”
"Your Highness is really not moved!" Bai Jin asked again.
"I'm really not tempted!" Tian Jian shook his head and replied quickly.
"Is that true?" Bai Jinyu didn't believe it and asked again.
"Seriously." Tian Jian replied without thinking.
Bai Jin was silent, clapped his hands, and a servant walked over.
"Bring me my private wine, and I will give it to Your Highness." Bai Jindao.
The servant received the order and ran out as fast as he could, and in the blink of an eye there was no one to be seen.
"Your Highness, Jin really doesn't know the feelings of the Chu country, and the right to a jar of fine wine should be atonement to His Highness." Bai Jin complimented.
Tian Jian was stunned in his heart, and turned angry, but he controlled his face very well, and said with a stiff smile: "Brother Bai, it is this palace that is rude, this palace does have other plans for Chu Di." ”
Bai Jin showed a subtle smile on his face, and said: "Since His Highness said so, Jin is not telling the truth is to live up to His Highness's hospitality, Yang Wenjun has two sons, the eldest son is named Fallacy, and the younger son is named False, Fallacious is known to be virtuous, but although he is virtuous but not wise, he is pedantic, he is not young and greedy, but he is brave and radical. (Huang Xie said for the prince of Chu: "Qin Zhi left the prince and wanted to seek profit.) Now the prince has not been able to have Eli Qin, and he is very worried. And the two Yangwen gentlemen are in the middle, if the king dies and the prince is not there, the Yangwen gentleman will be established as the queen, and the prince will not be allowed to serve in the temple. It's better to die Qin, and go out with the messenger; Please stop, and deserve to die. —"Historical Records" Chun Shenjun Biography. Yang Wenjun is the brother of King Chu Qingxiang, the son of King Chu Huai, and now reigns King Chu Qingxiang. This can be found in the comments. )
Tian Jian nodded, the businessman's feelings have always been sensitive, although Tian Jian could not fully believe Bai Jin's judgment of Yang Wenjun's two sons, but it would also be an important reference at that time.
"Brother Bai, drink, why bother talking about this!" Tian Jian smiled and wanted to press this paragraph down.
Bai Jin was also a smart person, knowing that Tian Jian already knew what he wanted to know, and he didn't want to talk about it deeply, so he climbed down the pole given by Tian Jian, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this wine should be opened." ”
Tian Jian gestured to Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai nodded, walked between the two ice cubes, held the white jade wine jug tightly with her right hand, her brows furrowed slightly, obviously this cold made her uncomfortable.
Xiao Ai poured a glass of wine into each of the four glasses, and the cold air that seeped into the wine began to spread everywhere, and the slightly cool air brought a breeze, and the heart was already slightly cold before drinking the wine!
The purple-amber liquid began to take on a slight frosty smell, like purple grapes with dew on their tender green branches after a light rain.
This cold liquor was sipped by Tian Jian and a few people, and it was not swallowed directly into the mouth, but kept sliding between the teeth, and the incense liquor filled the aroma between every tooth.
