Chapter 32: Cai Yong is humiliated
In the envious eyes of Cao Xing, Hao Meng and others, Gao Shun finally accepted Su Chen's kindness, he didn't make any promises, only said "In the future, if the virtuous brother is in trouble, Shun will never give up." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is enough to have this sentence, Su Chen told Gao Shun about the efficacy of the Dizang Pill, Gao Shun felt more and more that this friendship was priceless, he was now at the peak of the Qi Sea Stage, and he was only one step away from breaking through, and now this Dizang Dan came at the right time.
Breaking through is not a simple matter, and it can't be disturbed by anyone, but this is obviously not a problem for Gao Shun, with the protection of the eight hundred trapping camps, even if he is a master of the True Martial Realm, if he wants to harass him when he breaks through, he can't get any benefits.
Su Chen's heart was finally put back in his stomach, for Gao Shun, although it was not possible to accept it, but it was not far away, now Gao Shun and the Su family are more like hardcore allies, as long as Su Chen raises the banner one day, then Gao Shun's choice is self-evident.
After solving Gao Shun's matter, Su Chen turned his attention to another person, who was none other than Cai Yong.
Cai Yong and Situ Liu He were at odds, and Cai Yong's uncle, Wei Wei Cai Qian, had a bad relationship with the master craftsman Yang Qiu, who was the son-in-law of Cheng Huang. Cheng Huang asked people to write anonymous false accusations against Cai Yong and Cai Qian, and Liu He asked Cai Yong several times for personal matters, but Cai Yong did not agree.
Liu He then held a grudge and was determined to frame Cai Yong. Therefore, Emperor Ling issued an edict to Shangshu and summoned Cai Yong to question. Cai Yong Shangshu defended himself, but he and Cai Zhen were still sent to Luoyang Prison, and the relevant departments believed that the two should be abandoned from the city.
Lu Qiang, the middle attendant, took pity on Cai Yong's innocence, so he pleaded with Emperor Ling for him, and Emperor Ling also remembered Cai Yong's previous words, so he issued an edict to save him from death, and his family was exiled to Shuofang, and he was not allowed to be exonerated by the pardon.
Yang Qiu sent the assassin to assassinate Cai Yong, and the assassin was moved by Cai Yong's justice and was not used by Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu bribed the relevant officials to poison Cai Yong, but the bribed person instead told Cai Yong the news and asked him to be more vigilant. Cai Yong was safe and sound, and came all the way to Wuyuan County.
After some inquiry, Su Chen learned that the destination of Cai Yong's trip was Anyang County, Wuyuan County, which was in the west of Wuyuan County, adjacent to Shuofang, which was Cai Yong's place of exile.
It's just that Anyang County is windy and sandy, and Cai Yong is dragging his family again, Su Chen is very worried about whether this old man can survive in Anyang County, and there are often foreign races fighting grass valleys here, Cai Yong is a literati, how can he be the opponent of those Xianbei warriors.
It seemed abrupt to come to the door rashly, so Su Chen suggested that his father Su Wei set up a banquet in his name to entertain Cai Yong.
Su Wei also thinks this suggestion is good, but he is still a step late, someone did it earlier than him, this person is no one else, it is really too guarded by Wang Zhi.
In addition to Wang Zhi's identity as the king of Taiyuan, he also has an identity, he is the younger brother of Wang Fu, who is now powerful, but he is not without political enemies, and those Qingliu are eager to eat him and eat him.
It just so happened that this will be the master craftsman Yang Qiu is one of them, Yang Qiu is a famous cool official in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and later Wang Fu was planted in this Yang Qiu hand.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, at least Wang Fu thinks about the problem like this, he has already secretly ordered his younger brother Wang Zhi to take care of Cai Yong and strive to have a good fate, so as soon as Cai Yong arrived in Jiuyuan, Wang Zhi's people found out, and placed an invitation to invite Cai Yong to the Taishou Mansion for a banquet.
Although Cai Yong is an exiled official, his reputation is outstanding, how can Wang Zhi's welcome ceremony be too simple, so he invited all the high-ranking officials of the Taishou Mansion from Jiuyuan County to accompany him, such a big formation, but worthy of Cai Yong's identity.
The date of the banquet was set for the evening three days later, Su Chen wanted to send charcoal in the snow one step earlier and get acquainted with Cai Yong, but he didn't expect to be one step ahead of Wang Zhi, and his calculations were in vain.
However, he was not disappointed, this banquet is allowed to bring family members, the reason is very simple, because Cai Yong dragged his family to Jiuyuan, so all guests are allowed to bring their family members to the banquet.
Of course, Su Chen also wanted to join in the fun, so he worked hard for three days to prepare for this, just waiting for the banquet to be held.
Three days later, Su Chen dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, followed Su Yu, and came to the Taishou Mansion.
This was the first time he attended a large-scale banquet in the late Han Dynasty, and it was also the first time he boarded the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and unlike what he imagined, there were as many as 200 guests coming and going at this banquet, and there was an endless stream of carriages parked outside the door.
Entering the gate of the mansion, there are soldiers standing guard everywhere, all of them seem to be elite and strong men, perhaps because of the border stop, so the security of this banquet is also very tight, and it is impossible to enter the gate without an invitation.
After entering the gate, I came to the banquet hall, saying that it was a banquet hall, but it was actually an open space in the Taishou Mansion, but it was very brightly arranged.
Thinking about it, it is not easy to find a banquet hall that can accommodate 200 people, and it is still in the case of this kind of meal sharing system in the late Han Dynasty.
Of course, Su Chen didn't have a separate table, he sat with his father Su Wei, after Gao Shun, and all the people sitting here were the real power figures of Wuyuan County.
Entering the banquet hall, people also came to say hello from time to time, Su Wei took the opportunity to sell his son, Su Chen was handsome and sassy, but he received a piece of praise.
"The king of Taishou made the king to ......"
As the magistrate of a county, Wang Zhi was of course the last to appear, but I saw him and Cai Yong coming together, and those who didn't know thought how close the two were.
"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat." As Wang Zhi and Cai Yong sat down, everyone also sat down.
Under Su Yu's introduction, Su Chen got to know most of the officials of the Taishou Mansion and the patriarchs of the four major families, among which there was no shortage of familiar people, that is, Cui Hao of the Cui family.
Su Yu and other officials of the county guard government sat on the lower left of Wang Zhi, while the people of the major families sat on the lower right, and there was a clear distinction, of course, there were also many people born in the four major families in the lower left.
As the so-called enemy met, his eyes were red, and as soon as he sat down, Su Chen felt a sharp gaze shooting towards him.
He felt something, looked up, and happened to meet Cui Hao's gaze, only to see that Cui Hao glanced at him resentfully, and then showed a contemptuous smile.
In fact, Cui Hao was also very surprised to see Su Chen, he went to the banquet today because he had other desires, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to Su Chen, a waste, all his thoughts were on Cai Yong.
"Let's have a feast!"
Wang Zhi gave an order, and everyone sent congratulatory speeches, even if today's protagonist is Cai Yong, he has also become Wang Zhi's foil.
All the guests pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, so it was not lively, and the young heroes of Wuyuan County also toasted Cai Yong one after another, the purpose was nothing more than to worship the subordinates and get the recognition of Shilin.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wang Zhi suddenly said: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet." ”
Hearing his words, everyone stopped their wine glasses, put down their chopsticks, and quieted down, only to hear Wang Zhi continue: "There is wine here, how can there be no fun? I have heard that everyone has excellent piano skills, I wonder if you can present a song for us? ”
Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Cai Yong was very embarrassed, as a clear stream, he naturally would not be in the same stream with the eunuchs, but the situation was stronger than people, and when he arrived in Wuyuan County, if he couldn't get along with Wang Zhi, the official, he was afraid that he would be unable to move an inch in the future.
He had no choice but to accept Wang Zhi's invitation, but this did not mean that he liked Wang Zhi, the younger brother of Wang Fu, who served Wang Fu as a last resort.
If he really promised to touch the qin today and spread it, wouldn't it become him thrown into the arms of the eunuchs, so that he would definitely be discredited and driven away by Shilin, how could he agree to such a request?
But seeing the expectant eyes of the guests below, he was really embarrassed, if he didn't agree, not only offended Wang Zhi, but also offended the entire family of Wuyuan County, he couldn't afford this charge, for a while, he didn't advance, he didn't retreat.
Just when he was embarrassed, a crisp voice sounded: "My father is unwell today, why don't you let a little girl play on his behalf?" ”
"How did Akihime come out?" Seeing that his daughter took the initiative to ask for help, Cai Yong didn't feel good in his heart, and his daughter was now in the boudoir, and it was not a good thing to show up after all.
You must know that the family members are all entertained by Wang Zhi's wife in the back hall, Cai Yan may be worried about his father, so he came out to take a look, but he didn't expect to be relieved.
Cai Yan came out, and the eyes of all the young talents below looked straight, although she is not yet in her prime, but she has already come out slim and slim, and she is a beautiful embryo.
Among them, especially Cui Hao, he couldn't take his eyes off it, he suddenly whispered a few words to a young man beside him, and then the young man said loudly: "Father, since Sister Cai is willing to work for her father, why don't I listen to Sister Cai's piano sound?" It's also just right to see if she has the true biography of Uncle Cai. ”
Wang Zhi saw that Cai Yong was reluctant to play, and wanted to be furious, but when he heard his son's words, his anger subsided a lot, so he responded: "My son's words are reasonable, and if this is the case, let the virtuous nephew and daughter play on his behalf." ”
After that, he took the opportunity to pick up a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth, obviously everyone could see that if Cai Yan didn't play well, the matter would not stop.
Wang Zhi's son is named Wang Xiu, under Cui Hao's hard work, he soon became a fox friend and dog friend, Su Chen saw Wang Xiu for the first time, to be honest, the perception is not very good, this Wang Xiu has red lips and white teeth, he looks like a little white face, and his demeanor is delicate and ambiguous, I am afraid that the relationship with Cui Hao is not ordinary.
"These two people shouldn't be, shouldn't they ......?"
Su Chen instantly thought of a possibility, this idea came out in his life, and his gaze when he looked at the two of them changed again, especially when he saw Wang Xiu glancing at Cui Hao charmingly, and Cui Hao gave him another wink, this situation, isn't it flirting?
"Evil!" Fortunately, he didn't eat much tonight, so he quickly stopped the illusion in his mind, and if he thought about it again, he was afraid that he would vomit all the sour water from last night.
"I didn't expect this Cui Hao to be as good as Long Yang, too, that Wang Xiu is indeed handsome, even more than most women, it is not surprising that the two are together, besides, it seems that this kind of thing is not uncommon in the late Han Dynasty, right?"
He tried his best to convince himself, reluctantly accepted the good of Longyang, and finally stopped pantothenic acid in his heart.
At this moment, a fairy sound came, and when he looked back, it turned out that Cai Yan had already started playing......
