Chapter 618: About Brothers
The banquet was held in the largest building in Wen County.
On the eve of the wedding, entertain the guests, but do not drink so much that it will interfere with tomorrow's ceremony.
The guests in the main hall were divided into several groups: the Lu and Song nobles who came back with Zhao Wuxian were in one wave, the sons and grandsons of the small country in Sishang were in one wave, and the nobles who came to the Jin Kingdom to cheer the scene.
Zhao's Yuji, who was in charge of receiving the guests, was outside with a loud roll call.
"The king's envoy Shi Mo arrives!" This is the historian around Jin Houwu to record today's grand occasion. The wise old man glanced at the hall, and saluted Zhao Wuxian, saying that the paper he made in the country of Lu would definitely benefit thousands of Li Shu, and it was an immortal achievement, so he sat silently in the corner, like an old immortal, without saying a word.
"Doctor Sima of the Shangjun has arrived!" This is a native of Qin, serving as the Sima of the Shangjun, originally a subordinate of Zhao Ying, and now Zhao Ying's promotion to the Zhongjun Zuo, he has become a subordinate of the Shangjun general Zhong Xingyin, but the relationship with the Zhao family is still good, and because he was in the Pan Palace as Zhao Wuxian's "teacher", so Wuxian even had to respectfully salute the teacher. Although Ji Qin tried hard to put on a smile, Wuxian could still see that his smile was only superficial.
"Doctor Hellland has arrived!" Then came the Shi Clan, the Shi clan is the Fan family, but now it is far less prosperous than the Fan clan that was separated, and the big and small sects are upside down. Shi Wei was stationed in the southernmost Yin Land of the Jin State for the Jin State, defending the Rong of Qin, Chu and Yiluo, and had two divisions of soldiers in his hands. This person has a general relationship with Fan Jiji, but he was a good friend of Zhao Ying in the early years, but now he is closer to Zhao than Fan.
When Zhao Ying pulled the shirtless introduction, Shi was surprised and said that the tiger father really did not have a dog. Although I have heard Zhao Ying say it many times, he said how heroic Shi Contempt was when he was young to subdue Lu Hun Zhurong. But in Zhao Wuxian's eyes, he was just a red-faced and long-bearded man. The sweaty fat man walked with the appearance of drowning in the cup.
Throughout the first half of the night, Zhao Wuxian followed behind Zhao Ying, greeting the guests at the gate of the main hall, and the groom's official face was stiff with a smile. However, when the next list was read out by Youji, a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
They're finally here.
But I heard Yousi Mao shout loudly with all his strength: "The son of Wei Qing, the grandson of Han Qing, and the doctor of Tong Yu are here together!" ”
……
Because it is a private banquet rather than a state banquet or a family banquet. Therefore, the atmosphere in the hall is more relaxed and active, generally the elderly such as Shi Yan gather in front of Zhao Ying to talk about the past and the present, while the younger generation calls friends to play by themselves, throwing pots, chess, and back-and-forth.
Wedding banquets and feasts are not fancy shows, for the Chinese of the Spring and Autumn Period, this is also a diplomatic platform for the princes and doctors to build friendships with each other, and for hundreds of years, I don't know how many vows and conspiracies have been reached in their happy banquets......
Zhao Ying and Zhao Wuxian have a clear division of labor tonight, and the relationship between the older generations is maintained by the charm of the father's personality and the promise of benefits. And the younger generation. It has to be enveloped by Zhao Wuxian with old friendships and tempted by interests.
After meeting the guests in the main hall and saluting for a short time, Zhao Bolu came out to pick up people and things instead of Wuxian, while Zhao Wuxian carried a wine jug and walked over to his old acquaintances, calling them one by one.
"Ziyin."
The jade-like young man raised his head, and his appearance and bearing made the nobles of the entire Jin Kingdom dream of the Spring Maiden. Han Hu bowed slightly to Zhao Wuxian. The two had only met in Lu last year, but Zhao Wuxian noticed that he was still smiling meaningfully when congratulating him on his wedding. It felt like a glimpse of the secret of the shirtless.
"Ziteng."
Wei Ju, who was burly but full of thoughts, turned around, his eyes were clear, he was more than eight feet tall, he had a thick black beard like wire that covered his fat chin, his waist and abdomen were thick, and his arms were strong. is different from Han's quiet gentleman. For several generations, the Wei family has been the image of this domineering martial artist. He looked Zhao Wuxian up and down, his eyes were complicated, and then he smiled affectionately.
"And, Fu Li!"
Looking at the person in front of him, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but feel that time was fleeting. Le Fuli has changed greatly compared to a few years ago, and his face is a little less cheerful, his father died early, so he took on the responsibility of the clan early and wore the crown of the bronze doctor.
However, as soon as Le Fu opened his mouth with a smile, Zhao Wuxian knew that his temperament had not changed, and he was still a joke.
"I knew this was the case, I had my father chase me in the courtyard a few years ago, and now he wants to beat me under the Yellow Spring, and I have to wait for decades...... Hey, I'm a dutiful son, it seems that I can only indulge in wine, and strive to die early to accompany him. After speaking, Le Fu gave Zhao Wuxian a lamp, and sighed that it would be good if his good friend Zhang Mengtan was also there.
"Meng Tan is now Zitai's minister, and he wants to guard the foundation for General Zhao in the Lu State, how can he come?" Wei Jumian hides a needle in his pocket, and he doesn't know whether he is jealous or envious, but now everyone knows that he is emulating Zhao Wuxian in the military system and recruiting talents.
Han Hu smiled at this without saying a word, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the hall, and continued to pretend to be his elegant gentleman. In fact, he had already arrived in Wen County, and Bolu had a conversation with him in the afternoon, so he was a little bored now.
Zhao Wuxian looked at the three people in front of him, knowing that except for Le Fuli, who was an optimist, the other two had their own thoughts. Back then, in the Pan Palace, they were also a group of people, and they often corresponded with each other, but today they have a lot of differences, and the topics are intermittent, but they are not as close as when they were young.
The Zhao family now holds the handle of Fan and Bank of China to make peace with Qi and Wei in private, and threatens Handan Wu to fall to Zhao's side. In fact, although the so-called testimony is important, it is not a decisive factor, because the final arbiter, Jin Hou, has never been determined by looking at the evidence, but by which of the plaintiff and the defendant is powerful and which one is supported......
In the past, the chase of the fox clan, the difficulty of going to the palace, the death of the three branches, the rebellion of Luan Ying, and the destruction of the Qi and Yangyu clans were all like this.
Treason? Rebellion? It's all! It's nothing more than coveting your family's property and territory, so they make up a plausible trumped-up charge.
As long as the power of the initiator is sufficient, then there is no excuse for the sin! Zhao Wuxian didn't expect any testimony in court at all, as long as he could get a legal name, he could start a war of extermination immediately!
But if they want to achieve their goal, he and Zhao Ying have to borrow the strength of the rest of the Qing clan and even the doctors.
Although the East and West Two Zhao are strong, they are not strong enough to be able to defeat five with one......
Not to mention in this matter. Wei and Han are natural allies!
But it's not a good place to talk.
The hall was steaming, and the tables lined up were filled with the smell of barbecued meat and wheat cakes. The Wendi maidservant was playing the harp, singing a ballad, with peach blossoms in her hair, dancing the foxtrot that Daji had charmed Di Xin. Candles are blazing in the lamps. Under the noise of bean saucer collision and drunken conversation, the surroundings seem a little noisy and stuffy.
Zhao Wuxian suddenly got up and invited the three of them: "Second and third sons, how about going out to breathe?" I know that there is a peach orchard near the river behind this hall, and tonight the moon and stars are scarce, so it is a good time to visit the garden! ”
……
The sheng song and dance music flowed outward from behind the four people, and the sound of obscurity became farther and farther away until it disappeared.
At this point, they have moved away from the hustle and bustle. Carrying the palace lantern, he walked into the extraordinarily quiet peach forest, walking around the peach forest like a firefly in summer.
There is no trace here, and there is a solemnity all around, except for the sound of the flowing water of the river, and the rustle of peach blossoms and peach leaves trembling in the evening breeze. Zhao Wuxian sniffed slightly, only to feel that the scent of lavender that my sister left here yesterday was still there, as if it was more fragrant than the peach fragrance in the garden.
"It's a great place for a night trip!" Han Hu is so elegant, he can come outside to breathe. The depressed mood was swept away, and his slender fingers stroked the peach petals in the night. It is very useful.
The burly Wei Ju was a little wary, carefully observing the surroundings, whether there was an ambush in the winding path, and whether there was an assassin hiding behind the crooked old peach tree?
"Ziteng, treat Wen County as his home, the enemies of the Wei clan are not here. Don't worry. Zhao Wuxian had something to say.
Wei Ju was excited, opened his mouth and smiled: "Zhao Wei is a world friend, Wen County is full of black clothes, and the guards are tight, so I am naturally relieved." "Yet. Until he sat opposite Zhao Wuxian by the stone desk that he had already arranged, he was still full of suspicion, and the moonlight reflected the shadow under his feet very small.
Just as the Han clan wanted to hug his thighs because of the strength of the Zhao clan, the Wei clan, who had lost his hardcore ally since the destruction of the Luan clan, also wanted to have a good relationship with the Zhao clan, and he was assigned by his father Wei Yu with this mission this time.
Without a shirt or a point, he turned his head and talked about the Xintian Pan Palace where several people studied together.
"That was six years ago, I remember that there is also a peach forest at the entrance of Pan Palace, and it is also this season, the four of me worked together with Meng Tan and Guangde to fight fiercely with Fan and Bank of China in the sword room!"
Between men, they have fought together, and the relationship is naturally different, talking about the pan palace fights in the past, plus the fun of the music from time to time, on the peach blossoms, a few glasses of sake, the relationship between them is a lot closer, just hook shoulders and call brothers.
Wei Ju patted his round stomach and boasted: "As soon as I heard that Meng Tan came to ask for help that day, saying that Zitai was in danger, I didn't hesitate to take a few cousins over. ”
Han Hu also smiled and said: "Don't look at the fact that I didn't see blood that day, but I also put down several BOC boys who wanted to sneak attack Zitai." ”
Le Fuli added: "However, it is still Zitai who is the most courageous, punching Fan He and kicking the middle line of the black humerus, which is really happy!" ”
Zhao Wuxian said implicitly: "At that time, it was really a young temperament, and I was able to show off my white blade for a promise." ”
He got up suddenly and saluted the three of them sincerely: "If it weren't for the second and third sons, I would definitely be humiliated by Fan He and Zhong Xingyin that day!" There is no other talent, but he knows how to repay his kindness, and he can treat each other with a bad friend, and he swears here today that he will not forget each other! ”
With Zhao Wuxian's current achievements, the three of them did not dare to slack off, and they did not dare to do so.
Le Fuli also quipped: "Zitai, you are now Lu Guozhengqing, under one person, above ten thousand, how rich and noble!" How can you say 'Gou Fugui' again? After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.
Zhao Wuxian shook the wine in the lamp and smiled silently, and only said after half a ring: "There are many ownerless Qianmuyi in the eastern land of Lu State, and it is okay to give a few to the three for Tang Muyi, as long as the three agree, the tax tribute can be sent to the mansion after the autumn harvest." ”
The three of them couldn't help but be moved, and at the same time salivate, especially Le Fuli, who had the least power in their hands. Zhao Wuxian is worthy of being a person who is in charge of a thousand times and is defending the country for hundreds of miles, and he is extraordinary as soon as he makes a move.
Wuxian said: "But this is just a small wealth, in fact, there is another big wealth right now, and I want to share it with my three sons......"
Wei Ju and Han Hu's eyes lit up, and they asked, "What is the great wealth?" ”
Zhao Wuxian stopped talking suddenly, deliberately whetting their appetite.
It wasn't until Wei Ju pretended to be angry that he was anxious, and Wu Xian said: "In fact, after I get married, this matter will be officially informed to Han, Wei Erqing and the doctors of the Jin Kingdom, and I will naturally know at that time, so I don't need to be in a hurry." ”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Wuxian said again: "Zhao, Wei, and Han have been friends for nearly two hundred years, and when it came to Zhao Wenzi, Wei Zhuangzi, and Han Xuanzi, they were even more intimate, almost to the extent that they didn't distinguish each other......"
He took the hands of the three of them: "The ancestors' world friendship is commendable, and we can't be light in this generation, Ziyin, Ziteng, and Fuli." Today's sky is high and cool, and the peach blossoms are gorgeous, so why don't we make an appointment with brothers here, and then seek a great fortune for the clan, what is it? ”
