Chapter 812: Going to the Feast
readx;
In the Tengwang Pavilion on the second floor of the Mandarin Duck Building in Kaifeng Mansion, more than a dozen people have already sat around a table, all of them are dressed in gorgeous silk costumes, and some of them are also wearing mink coats, and they are all dignitaries at a glance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAfter all, it's early spring, and it's night, so it's still a little cold.
The people at the table sat down and talked about it.
"Hey, why did you call us over all of a sudden?"
"I don't know, seeing that everyone is here, there must be something big......"
"Hey, why don't you ask President Liang?"
"What are you in a hurry? When Brother Liang comes, I'll naturally know. ā
These dignitaries and nobles were talking fiercely, and suddenly a hollow carved screen in the inner box of King Teng's Pavilion was opened, and a small servant walked out first, then looked back and said respectfully, "Master, please!" ā
At this time, a person came out from behind the screen, although it seemed that he was already in the age of the sixtieth year, but he was probably living a good life, still radiant and dignified. This person is holding a carved dragon sandalwood staff in his left hand, and playing with two large iron balls in his right hand. Although the face is full of smiles, it makes people feel an invisible aura.
As soon as he appeared, King Teng's Pavilion, who had been talking a lot just now, suddenly quieted down.
"Master, please come here." The little guy led him to the main seat, but the man shook his head and smiled slightly, "No, no, no, this seat should be reserved for distinguished guests, just sit here." So saying, he sat down on the left side of the throne.
When everyone saw and heard it, they were all surprised, who else was qualified to sit on that throne besides him?
"President Liang, why don't you sit in your seat? Could it be that there is a noble person visiting tonight? Finally, one of them couldn't help but ask.
Needless to say, this is the richest man in Kaifeng City, and Liang Shouren, the father of Kaifeng City Guard Liangshan.
Before Liang Shouren could reply, another person flattered, "Who else is more qualified to sit in this seat than Brother Liang?" ā
Accustomed to hearing these words, Liang Shouren laughed loudly, "Today's guest is not an ordinary guest, he can decide the fate of everyone here. ā
Hearing Liang Shouren say this, everyone exclaimed, in today's Ming Dynasty, even the emperor himself has no time to take care of Kaifeng, and there is anyone who can decide their fate?
"Who is this?" One asked.
Liang Shouren shook his head, smiled without saying a word, put his palm aside, picked up the teacup, took a small sip, then put it down, and lid, "You will know when it comes later." ā
Everyone started talking again, and they all guessed which way it would be an immortal?
It is just that everyone is talking about it. There were three people coming in from the gate of the Mandarin Duck Tower, and they were Zhu Qing and the others, but Zhu Qing covered his face, and the shopkeeper couldn't recognize them, only knowing that the left and right two were Liangshan who chartered the venue and Baihu, the guard of Kaifeng Mansion.
"General Liang, Lord Bai, are you here? All the people on the second floor have arrived. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Who is this?" Seeing Zhu Qing covering his face, the shopkeeper inquired.
"Do you want to ask?" Liangshan said a word from the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper knew that he was the eldest young master of the Liang family, even if he was the godson of Liang Shouren, he was supported by his godfather; Besides, Liangshan is still the guard of Kaifeng City, not to mention those who were guards by King Fu's side before, which identity can kill a large number of people in seconds.
So he was drunk by Liangshan like this, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to say much, so he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Yes, yes, the little one knows his mistakes." ā
"Shopkeeper, are all the dishes I ordered ready?" Ryoyama asked.
"It's ready and ready, as long as the general gives an order, the small one will serve you food." The shopkeeper was said once, this time learn to be good, don't ask more, just do it.
Liangshan nodded, "Well, let's serve the food first, let's go sit next door and call us when the food is served." Liangshan commanded.
"Okay, the general is drinking tea next door, and the small one is called Xiao Er's food." The shopkeeper said, and led Liangshan and the others to the Ningyuan Pavilion next to King Teng's Pavilion on the second floor to make a little news.
Liangshan knew that he couldn't cook in the morning, it was early, the guests hadn't arrived yet, and the dishes were cold, which was not good; It's late, and when the guests come, the table is empty, there is nothing, and it is even more rude, so Liangshan has to take care of this point.
Zhu Qing naturally knew Liangshan's good intentions, and when he closed the door in the room, he laughed softly, "It's all your own people, why should General Liang be so polite?" ā
When Liangshan heard this, he smiled slightly, "I want those old men to know who is the protagonist today." ā
When Zhu Qing heard this, he pointed to Liangshan and smiled without saying a word.
"Hey, it seems that there are quite a few people." As a leader of the Jinyi Guard, after entering a room, the white tiger quickly committed an occupational disease, and not only investigated this Ning Yuan Pavilion, but also probed the Tengwang Pavilion next door.
Zhu Qing looked at it and beckoned, "This is the territory of the good brother, and it is a lot of courtesy." The white tiger had no choice but to plug the slit he had cut out.
Liangshan looked at the white tiger's antics and smiled slightly, "Don't get in the way, know yourself and know your opponent, Lord Bai often tells me this." ā
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. The white tiger leaned forward and whispered, "It's served." ā
Sure enough, at this time, the Tengwang Pavilion next door began to serve food. Seeing Xiao Er serving the food, the guests of Tengwang Pavilion were in a commotion. This guest hasn't arrived yet, why is it served? Could it be that what Liang Shouren said is not true?
Liang Shouren was also puzzled and asked, "Who asked you to serve the food?" ā
The shopkeeper hurriedly responded, "It was the shopkeeper who asked for it, and said that it was requested by the guest." ā
As soon as Liang Shouren heard this, he knew that his son Liangshan did it, and he nodded slightly, "Well, then hurry up." Hugh was sluggish. ā
"Yes, guest officer." How can the second little man in this shop know so much, just take it on it.
Immediately, the dishes of Teng Wang Pavilion were served one after another.
Everyone looked at it, my obedient, Tengwang Pavilion box turned out to be coarse tea and light rice, home-cooked side dishes! This surprised these old men who are accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Liang Shouren smiled slightly and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Liangshan's arrangement.
"Don't just look at this dish, smell this wine, I can guarantee that you rarely come across such good wine." Ryomorito smiled, and as soon as he lifted the cloth on the lid, a strong aroma of wine overflowed.
Everyone couldn't help but nodded, this dish is not very good, but this wine is a very good wine!
As soon as Liangshan next door smelled the wine, he stood up excitedly, "General, it's time to pass." As he spoke, lead the way.
The three of them walked through King Teng's Pavilion from Ningyuan Pavilion, and just happened to meet the shopkeeper who came up to remind them, and they were sent back by Liangshan with a wave of his hand.
"Dong Dong Dong" came to the Tengwang Pavilion, and Liangshan knocked lightly on the door.
As soon as Liang Shouren heard it, he heard that it was Liangshan's code, and then sat down and answered, "Come in!" ā
When the people heard that the nobleman was coming, they all got up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Qing and the others opened the door, the people inside were all surprised, although the person in the middle covered his face and couldn't tell who it was, but the two people around him were very familiar, the generals of Kaifeng City!
Everyone looked at Liang Shouren in surprise, as if to say, what did you call Jinyiwei to do?
Unexpectedly, Liang Shouren smiled loudly, stood up, put away the two big iron balls in his hand, and greeted them with his palms, "Welcome to your visit, Liang and your brothers have been waiting for the general for a long time." ā
Seeing Liang Shouren smiling and walking towards the masked man, everyone was even more shocked, but they also knew that the person in the middle was also a military general! And the official position is bigger than Liangshan and the White Tiger!
However, no matter what they thought, the name Zhu Qing would not appear in their assumptions at this moment, because the city was already in an uproar, and Zhu Qing was bedridden! And everyone knows that explosion, very people can avoid it, it's good to be able to pick up a life, how can you still come to the Mandarin Duck Building to drink?
"Thank you for keeping you waiting." Zhu Qing responded with a fist.
Seeing the courtesy of the guests, the nobles all stood up and responded.
"Three of you, please take a seat." Good and benevolent.
Liangshan and Baihu were arranged to sit down, and Zhu Qing was about to sit down in the vacant seat on the right side, but was unexpectedly stopped by Liang Shouren, "General and slow?" ā
Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Liangshan and Baihu, thinking that something was wrong.
"General, please take your seat. This seat is reserved for the general. Ryomorito said, pointing to the throne.
When Zhu Qing heard this, my good man, this good Shouren also gave himself face, right? But he quickly laughed, "The outside is laughing, this is the main seat, the outside is the master, we are the guests, this seat should be sat outside the staff." ā
"The general doesn't want to shirk, if the general doesn't mind, why don't you take off this mask and let everyone see, is the general qualified to sit in this position?" The good man said outside, and after seeing everyone, the nobles immediately responded.
Zhu Qing was silent for a moment, glanced at the white tiger, and with a wave of the white tiger's cloak, a gust of wind closed all the doors and windows of King Teng's Pavilion.
Zhu Qing turned around, took off the mask, and when he turned around, everyone was shocked!
"This ...... This and this ......" Those people were suddenly speechless, because standing in front of them was the green dragon that had been bombed in the grove the day before yesterday!
Liang Shouren had known for a long time, so he naturally wouldn't be surprised, so he smiled slightly, "General Qinglong, the great savior of Kaifeng City, is now a veritable family member, you say, he is not qualified to sit in this position, who is qualified to sit in it?" ā
Everyone here doesn't know how powerful Zhu Qing is, just this time he is in a desperate situation, he thought he was dead but he was unscathed, everyone admired three points, and then looked at Liang Shouren who abdicated to make way for Xian, who else dared to raise the bar? Then they all said, "Please take a seat, general!" ā
Zhu Qing was still hesitating, he looked at Liang Shouren and then at Liang Shan, this father and son can be described as very sincere!
"General, please!" Yoshimoto said again.
Zhu Qing nodded, "Qinglong is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful." As he spoke, he walked to the throne.
"Okay, now I will ask General Qinglong to tell us about the situation of Kaifeng City." Liang Shouren was the first to say.
Zhu Qing bowed his hand to Liang Shouren and motioned for everyone to sit down first, "Actually, everyone knows the situation in Kaifeng City, even better than me. I'll just talk about the past few days. A few days ago, I returned to Kaifeng from the capital and brought a bill from the emperor, and I believe everyone here knows that the emperor has implemented the new law. However, everyone has also seen that the implementation of the new law is not going well, and many people want to destroy the new law, and some people want to kill me. As for who they are, I won't talk about them here, everyone should know the ability of Jinyiwei. Zhu Qing said, glancing at the audience, some people had bowed their heads and were silent.
Zhu Qing continued, "I, Qinglong, asked the good man to play the strings today, and prepared a little wine to invite everyone, nothing else, I just want to talk to everyone about this change." These dishes on the table may not be inconspicuous in your eyes, but if there are many people in the world who can't even eat these things and are finally forced to go on the road of exile, I believe you must know how precious these things are. Of course, you are all people with status, I Qinglongtou once invited you to a banquet, if it is only this simple dish, it is not sincere enough, so I prepare a little thin wine, please have a drink. This is the cellar I just got from the emperor's tribute in the capital, and I believe it is very suitable for everyone's taste. ā
When everyone heard that this wine was a tribute, they couldn't help but look at the jar again.
Zhu Qing motioned to the white tiger, and the white tiger immediately helped everyone to fill the mountain.
"Come on. No matter how we talked today, this first glass of wine was dried first, thank you for your trust and thank you for your support. Zhu Qing said, raising his glass and taking a sip.
Everyone saw that Qinglong was bored, although this was up and down in their hearts, it was not good not to drink.
"Okay, General Qinglong is so happy, Liang will accompany you to have a good drink!" Liang Shouren said, still bored. When they saw it, they drank it together.
"Tsk, that's really good wine!" Everyone couldn't help but admire.
After drinking, Zhu Qing motioned for everyone to sit down, and he himself sat down. As soon as he sat down, Zhu Qing persuaded the dishes, "If you don't mind, this is often a common dish, which is the favorite side dish of our Kaifeng people." Zhu Qing said, moving the chopsticks first. It is said that it is a bit rude for the guests to move the chopsticks first, but Zhu Qing understands very well that if he doesn't do these small dishes, these people will be disdainful. Only when you eat food and drink wine, can you say the rest of the words. Moreover, by looking at the food, you can see who is easy to do and which is difficult.
These people are all bigwigs who have been in the shopping mall for a long time, and they are fine, how can they be impressed by these three words?
Zhu Qing is ready to do his best!
