Chapter 151: Forbearance
Peng Yue was shocked when he heard Yan Song's words: I'll go, I'll invite it in person, when will this please come back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It seems that Yan Song really can't come to the stage this time, God is evil, you can still live, you can't live if you do it yourself!
Just when Peng Yue sighed, Yan Song and Yan Shifan had already walked out under the puzzled eyes of everyone, got into the carriage, and rushed to the road to Xia Yan's mansion.
At this time, Yan Song's heart could be described as mixed, and he felt like he was riding a tiger now, and he couldn't get down, so he could only close his eyes and keep rushing forward.
He didn't seem to be sure if he could invite Xia Yan over now, but there was no way, he had to give it a try. If it really doesn't wait for Xia Yan to open the banquet directly, not to mention this banquet, Yan Song will definitely lose face, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future, what about those officials who are attached to him? Yan Song wasn't sure that they would follow him desperately.
But what if you really don't invite Xia Yan on this trip? Yan Song didn't have much to do, so he could only explain to everyone that he met the person who came from Xia Mansion to deliver the letter on the way, saying that Lord Xia was suddenly ill and bedridden, so he couldn't be there. Although there will be many people who will not believe this, it is better than breaking up with no reason at all.
And he felt that Xia Yan should not be invited for this trip, because Xia Yan would definitely not forget about it, but really didn't want to come. Since you don't want to come, it's very likely that you just hid out. Therefore, the chance of inviting Xia Yan on this trip is very small, basically to block the mouth of Youyou and earn back face for himself.
Along the way, countless thoughts echoed in Yan Song's mind, and Yan Shifan on the side was also very interested in not disturbing his father. Just frowning there, as if pondering something. In order to go faster. Despite some bumps along the way, neither of them cared. Not even a feeling.
"Phew...", the carriage suddenly stopped in a state of rapid speed, causing Yan Shifan and Yan Song in the car to almost collide together.
The always steady driver was also panicked at this time, he knew that he had not parked well, but how could he usually run so fast. When he was trembling, he saw that Yan Shifan had already helped Yan Song get out of the car, and he was surprised that he was not reprimanded.
"Dad, what now?" , Yan Shifan helped his father to walk to the door of the Xia Mansion. But I feel a little dizzy, maybe it was really too fast just now...
"Hurry up... Hurry up and knock on the door...", Yan Song gasped twice, and knocked on the door himself.
"It's coming, it's coming... Which one, please? A small servant in the courtyard opened the door, saw the Yan father and son standing outside the door, and hurriedly saluted.
Yan Song stopped Yan Shifan, who was about to speak, and bowed slightly to the person who opened the door, "Please inform Lord Xia." Let's just say that it is appropriate for Yan Song to ask to see..."
At this time, Yan Song lowered his figure, neither stated his official position, nor put on a show, and directly said his hometown in Jiangxi. I'm afraid it was the idea of impressing Xia Yan with the friendship of his fellow villagers.
The little guy looked at Yan Song with some confusion and nodded to him, "Wait a minute..."
"Daddy. Why are you so polite to him? Yan Shifan saw the little guy close the door. Glancing at it secretly, there was a slight resentment in my heart. "A stinky janitor, quite angry, I don't know how to invite us in first!"
"Fan'er, don't be impatient, sometimes you don't underestimate this gatekeeper...", before Yan Song finished speaking, the door in front of him opened again.
"I'm sorry, two, I forgot just now, my lord went out for something and hasn't come back yet..."
"What? Got something out? It's so late, why haven't you come back? Yan Shifan couldn't help but feel angry in his heart when he heard the little guy say this.
"That's what you're saying, but there's always an accident, aren't you two out there now?"
"You...", Yan Shifan raised his hand and pointed at the little guy, his face was full of anger, if Yan Song hadn't stopped him on the side, it is estimated that Yan Shifan's slap would have gone down.
"When will Lord Xia be able to come back?" , Yan Song asked with a pleasant face on the side.
"This little one is not clear..."The little guy shook his head, "If there is anything to do with the two of you, why don't you come back another day..."
"Come back another day? Do you know how urgent things are for us? Yan Shifan is now looking at the little guy in front of him more and more unpleasantly.
"Don't worry, if Lord Xia doesn't come back, there is no way for the little one...", the little guy greeted the smiling face, but his expression was a little stiff, "Let's come back another day..."
Yan Shifan wanted to say a few more words, but Yan Song grabbed him, waved his hand to the little guy, and the door in front of him slammed shut.
"Dad, this is a bully!" , Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song angrily, "Isn't Xia Yan likely to be in it?" If Xia Yan was really not there, he would still use this bastard to run back and ask, what else did he forget just now, he is a janitor, can he forget this? ”
"Is there anything you can do about it?" , Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan expressionlessly, and choked him with a word.
"I... I just think that bastard just now is a bit of a dog's eye, so I have to be polite, please go in and have a cup of tea or something...", Yan Shifan said in a low voice, looking a little discouraged.
"Hmph...", Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and sneered, "If he invites us in, won't it be exposed?" ”
Yan Shifan raised his head and looked at Yan Song with some doubts, then his brows stretched, and he suddenly realized, "That... Dad, what are we going to do now? ”
"Let's go, go home!" , Yan Song flicked his sleeves and boarded the carriage a little awkwardly.
In fact, Yan's father and son guessed correctly, Xia Yan was indeed still in the house, and he deliberately did not go. Xia Yan could also see that Yan Song's intention was nothing more than to build momentum in order to force himself to make a not very clear promise in front of everyone, so that it would be really inconvenient for him to attack him.
Of course, Xia Yan will not let him go as he wishes, because after a series of things, Yan Song has become a thorn in Xia Yan's side and a thorn in his flesh, and he will not sit idly by and watch Yan Song cultivate his own power step by step until one day he surpasses himself. So he decided to take advantage of Yan Song's momentum to deal a bigger blow to him. If he doesn't go, will Yan Song lose face, and will some officials who are swaying from side to side have new attention?
Xia Yan is not afraid of offending Yan Song more deeply, the emperor has done a good job there, and the minister naturally can't leave it behind. As long as he can hit Yan Song's power and prestige, Xia Yan thinks it's worth it, because he has now firmly established an idea: with his current power and influence, Yan Song can't fight himself no matter what!
After some twists and turns, Yan Song and Yan Shifan finally returned to the house, but after getting off the carriage, Yan Song's steps unconsciously became heavy, how should he walk over, how should he face everyone's eyes?
"Daddy... Let's go in...", Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song with some embarrassment, "When... It's not too early..."
"Hmm...", Yan Song sighed, nodded, and walked towards the courtyard.
Everyone really hadn't left yet, in fact, it was impossible for them to go, when they saw that only Yan Song and Yan Shifan had come in, everything was already clear to them, although the facial expressions of the two were quite calm, but it was obvious that they were barely pretending.
"Lord Yan...", a few people nearby greeted Yan Song a little unnaturally, but they unexpectedly ushered in Yan Song's smiling face.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry...", Yan Song slowly crossed his hands and saluted everyone, "Just now I was on the way to Xia Mansion, and I happened to meet someone from Xia Mansion who came to inform him, saying that Lord Xia was suddenly in an emergency and couldn't come. It's all because the people who came to inform me are not familiar with the roads of my mansion and have delayed them for so long, and I apologize to all of you here..."
Yan Song said politely, and everyone naturally pretended not to know and cooperated with the play, saying that they don't mind what they say, condolences to Lord Xia How is it now, and by the way, he cursed two sentences of the little guy who lost time because he ran the wrong way, but in fact, everyone knew it, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little embarrassing.
Yan Song bowed his head and returned to his seat solemnly, but Peng Yue's gaze became a little evasive. He really didn't expect Xia Yan to play this kind of "game": he took the post but couldn't come. It seems that the contradiction between the two should be unavoidable, Xia Yan is determined to knock Yan Song to the ground, and Yan Song faces this situation, even if he doesn't want to fight with all his might, I'm afraid he can't help it.
Yan Song looked at Peng Yue, and then at the dishes that had already cooled down in the seats, and smiled helplessly. Xia Yan, are you ready to fight with me endlessly, okay, I have the right to write it down today. The whispered ridicule, the mocking eyes, and the humiliation of rushing around, I will remember it deeply in my heart, and I will repay you twice as much in the future!
"Lord Xia...", Yan Song faced the guests, took the invitation and shouted loudly, just when everyone was a little stunned, Yan Song slowly knelt down and read the original text of the invitation from beginning to end.
It was not only Peng Yue who was stunned, but everyone present, including his own son Yan Shifan, who never thought that Yan Song would make such a move.
Yan Song is not crazy, he now has a more sober mind than everyone else, he can figure out Xia Yan's abacus, after this incident, many ministers will observe the attitudes of the forces on both sides, and there will be many people who will naturally choose a more powerful person as a backer, which Yan Song can't stop.
But Yan Song still has a chance, he believes that so many people today are not invited for nothing, and he can still take advantage of it: as long as he makes this move in front of everyone, so weak, he doesn't believe in Xia Yan's character, and he will not hesitate to play ruthlessly again, pressing himself step by step, he feels that this move is right, he doesn't care about any face, if he wants to mix well in the court, he knows that this kind of thing will be lost sooner or later...
"I am ashamed to fail to fulfill the friendship of the guest and the host!" After Yan Song finished reading the invitation, he bowed his head. When a smart person has infinite anger in his heart, his performance is not unusually close to crazy anger, but calm, even more abnormal than before, and this is the case with Yan Song now.
Peng Yue, who looked at all this, frowned slightly, he seemed to feel that a fierce war was about to start, and there was a feeling that danger was imminent, this scene seemed to be somewhat familiar, I don't know where I had seen it, but one thing can be confirmed: people who can endure to such an extent, they are really terrifying...
