Within one day, Mr. Shuijing, Pang Degong, Pang Tong, and Huang Chengyan helped many great sages, how could Luan Yi not like it.

I am in a good mood and have a good time drinking. For a while, the banquet was staggered and talked happily. The content of the discussion is no different from the elegant gathering of ordinary scholars nowadays, mostly some Confucian and Mencian languages, or Taoism and nature, and other ways to understand the world and appreciate the experience of life.

Mr. Shui Jing, Pang Degong, Pang Tong, and Huang Chengyan are all well-educated people, and Yingchuan Zhujun is also a rich man. Among them, Luan Yi is especially happy.

How many years! Luan Yi himself can't remember the last time he chatted freely with Wenyou.

In recent years, as his power has grown, his responsibilities have become heavier and heavier. Speak cautiously, like walking on thin ice. I am afraid that if something is said wrong, it will hurt the relationship between myself and my subordinates, or cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, every sentence he says needs to be in his head three or four times, and he dares to confide it only after he is sure that it is correct. This made him tired for a while, and it wasn't until he got used to it that he felt a lot less tired.

While working hard for his cautious words and deeds, he also deeply felt that in the past few years, he has spoken more and more official and pompous words, either reprimanding others and ordering others, or playing official and talking about interests. Such words were extremely disgusting to him as a teenager, but now, sitting in this seat, he has to keep them on his lips all day long, and watch himself inadvertently develop these obnoxious words as a habit and integrate them into every occasion of his daily life. Even chatting with his family, the words he said were as if he was in a high position. Vaguely, Luan Yi actually felt that the high level of language had distanced the distance between himself and his family.

Luan Yi, who has been saying things against his heart for a long time, has the opportunity to get together with Mr. Shui Jing, Pang Degong, Pang Tong, Huang Chengyan and his old friends in Yingchuan today. Forgetting the shackles of identity, letting go of the world's major events, and only talking about the wind and snow, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, he can't help but recall the scene when he was studying at Yingchuan College more than ten years ago, when he was carefree with his friends, singing about wine, and talking about books and Taoism.

People are nostalgic for the old. As soon as he recalled the beauty of the past, Luan Yi raised his glass and saluted, and inevitably drank a few more glasses. After a glass of wine, he was excited, and stood in the Lixia Pavilion where he was singing: "The Eastern Domain is stationed in the soap cover, and the North Zhu Ling Qinghe." The sea right this Tinggu, Jinan famous people. Yunshan has been flourished, and the jade pendant is still a song. Bamboo cultivation is not subject to heat, and the exchange of air surge waves. What will happen to the sunset! The noble and lowly are all servants, and they have to pass through the public disaster. ”

A poem originally written from the famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, the poet saint Du Fu Du Gongbu's "Accompanying Li Beihai Banquet Lixia Pavilion" was renamed by Luan Yi as "Lixia Pavilion Banquet Jingzhou Xianda" copied, which attracted the applause of the full pavilion and raised their glasses to praise.

"I haven't seen it for many years, and Ziqi's poetry has improved a lot!"

"yes, I'm really jealous of us."

"Goodness, great goodness! When the service is a big white. ”

The wine cup is at the bottom, and each one is in its place. Xun Yu pressed a mouthful of green vegetables and asked Sima Hui and the others: "Why did you suddenly move your family to Jinan without saying a word in advance?" I didn't have any preparations. The faux pas are all over the place. ”

Xun Yu's words sounded as if he was complaining in a joking tone that Sima Hui came for them too suddenly, so that Luan Yi, as a landlord, was caught off guard, and the arrangement was too abrupt and not thoughtful enough. But it is not difficult to imagine the deep meaning of the smack, he is actually asking Sima Hui and the others euphemistically, why did they suddenly decide to move their family to Jinan after living well in Jingzhou?

The same words were asked by Xun Yu, which was not only polite, but also decent and cordial. And if the same words come out of the mouth of Luan Yi, who is the host, even if it is a joke, it is easy for people to take it seriously, and it is easy for people to mistakenly think that Luan Yi has the intention of driving them away, causing misunderstanding.

It's like having a guest come to your home. The host didn't say anything about serving tea and pouring water, and didn't say anything else, but asked first, "Why are you here?" When are you leaving? The speaker has no intention of listening, and the host feels that he is saying polite and polite words, but the guest does not necessarily think so, and may think that the host is driving himself away, hoping that he will go.

Therefore, on such an occasion, it is more appropriate for Xun Yu to open such an interrogation, from the perspective of official position, he is under Luan Yi, and he is not qualified to decide whether Sima Hui and his party will stay or not. In this way, even if he bluntly asked Sima Hui why he came? When to go? It also does not cause ambiguity.

Through such a small thing, it is enough to get a glimpse of Xun Yu's talents in interpersonal communication and socialization.

Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Pang Tong, and Huang Chengyan looked at each other and smiled, and Pang Degong smiled: "Anyway, within five years, Ziqi will take Jingzhou, come to Jinan, or continue to stay in Jingzhou, sooner or later under Ziqi's door, it is better to vote late than early, so I hurried to ask Ziqi for an errand." ”

"This ......" Luan Yi was stunned on the spot, and glanced at Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xu Shu who were sitting down, and secretly surprised: Where did Pang De know about the church's secret policy?

Guo Jia smiled casually and said perfunctorily: "Pang Degong said that he was laughing." Liu Jingzhou's Han clan relatives now have a deep relationship with the Holy Religion. How can we attack our neighbor and seize the land under his rule? ”

Pound was furious, "Why did Feng Xiao deceive me, don't you trust me?" ”

Guo Jialian said that he didn't dare, "But we really haven't coveted Jingzhou!" ”

"Humph!" Pang De, who was red-faced and red-eared, rolled up his sleeves and asked Guo Jia again, "Then I'll ask you." A while ago, Ziqi promised to borrow four million yuan from Liu Jingsheng, yes and no! ”

As soon as he heard this, Guo Jia's heart suddenly felt a lot weaker, but his face was silent, "There is indeed such a thing, what's wrong with this?" ”

Pound said again: "It's not right! I heard that you are going to return the money in five years? ”

Guo Jia glanced at Luan Yi and nodded.

"In five years, thirty percent of the profits, and only the profits that need to be repaid add up to more than 7.4 million yuan. Nearly twice as much as you borrowed. Are you willing to bear such a large amount of interest? Pang Degong stared at Luan Yi and said, "Others don't know you, don't the old man know you?" When did Luan Ziqi make such a big loss-making transaction. Therefore, the old man can conclude that within five years, the church will take action to seize Jingzhou in one go and write off this sky-high debt. ”

Pang De said everything about this, Guo Jia couldn't deny it if he wanted to, hehe smiled, cheeky and sloppy, "Mr. is really perceptive, and he can guess the future actions of the Holy Sect just by the agreed length of repayment and the interest rate." Admiration, admiration. Ha ha! ”

"yes!"

"All of you Jingzhou sages are really talented."

Luan Yi, Mao Jue, and Xu Shu spoke to me, helping Guo Jia to put on top hats for Pang De and Sima Hui. made them from Jingzhou cry and laugh.

"That's it!" Sima Hui waved his hand, "These high-profile words can be avoided!" Thanks to your great salvation, we are so praised, we are still afraid of losing our lives! At the end of the day, the people in the pavilion burst into laughter.

While laughing, the unhappiness caused by Guo Jia's concealment of the truth disappeared in an instant. However, Luan Yi was a little worried in his heart, and secretly thought: Since Sima Hui and the others were able to see their strategic intention to seize Jingzhou through the excessively high interest rate and the limited repayment date, could Liu Biao and his advisers also guess?

If the answer is yes, then the friendly relationship between the church and Jingzhou will be difficult to maintain. At that time, once the church starts a war with Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao will definitely not be as stable as he is now, and he will inevitably send troops to Yuzhou and bring trouble to the church in the rear.

Thinking of this, Luan Yi frowned and asked Sima Hui, who was sitting beside him, "Sir." Dare to ask Jingzhou...... What's the reaction? ”

It's easy to talk to smart people. Luan Yi didn't need to spread out the question comprehensively, Sima Hui immediately understood what Luan Yi wanted to ask, he gave Luan Yi a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry!" From the current point of view, only the old man, Pang De and Shi Yuan (Pang Tongzi) in Manjingzhou have seen through Ziqi's intentions. Except for Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who seemed to be suspicious, Liu Jingzhou and the vast majority of officials under his rule were still in the dark. However, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were only suspicious, and did not grasp the key to the matter, and they did not expect that Ziqi, who was facing a strong enemy of Yuan Shao in the north, would reach out to Jingzhou within five years. ”

"That's good!" After getting this news, Luan Yi felt a lot more relieved.

Sima Hui mentioned Luan Yi again: "Then again." Ziqi should not be taken lightly. Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers are also extraordinary people, maybe one day they will have some understanding. caused Liu Jingsheng to suddenly turn his face with Ziqi, and the church was caught off guard. ”

"Thank you, Mr. for the reminder, Ziqi will definitely be prepared." After speaking, Luan Yi moved his gaze to Guo Jia. Guo Jia meeting, bowing slightly. Next, he will arrange for the church's secret son in Jingzhou, Cai Mao of the Cai family in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and his sister Madame Cai, who married Liu Biao, to act together, using the preface of the palace and the pillow wind to disturb the audio-visual, so that the Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers are far away from the political center of Jingzhou, and at the same time keep instilling Luan Yi's friendly remarks in Liu Biao. In this way, the friendly relationship between the church and Jingzhou was maintained for the time being.

Lixia Pavilion Jingzhou Xianda Reception Banquet then lasted for more than half an hour before the song ended.

After the banquet, Luan Yi did not let Xianyun Yehe get used to it, and liked the unrestrained Sima Hui and Pang Degong to serve in public office and teaching. Instead, they were appointed as the bookkeeper and recorder of the Holy City University Hall, respectively, to continue the educational career they had been engaged in.

For this, Sima Hui and Pang Degong were very grateful.

For the students brought by the two from Jingzhou, Luan Yi also made corresponding arrangements: those who are willing to work in the church can participate in this year's clergy recruitment examination, and those who pass the examination can enter the church as priests and receive money from the church. Those who do not wish to become a priest can also continue their studies in the diocesan universities and universities of their choice.
