Chapter 363: Zhou Ang's Banquet (II)
The atmosphere was a little weird, except for Zhang Cong, who was half-kneeling on the ground, the other four palace guards behind Zhou Ang had extremely strange expressions and a little embarrassment. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but Cao Zhong and other ruffians, giggling and laughing.
Zhou Ang was stunned for a long time and didn't react, not that he was slow to react, but that the female generals of the Great Zhou were a handful of rare people, let alone so young. After the palace guard Zhang Cong saluted, he obediently retreated behind Zhou Ang, drooping his head and saying nothing.
"Ben will have a lot of trivial matters with the county lord, so he came a little late, Lord Zhou won't mind, right?" Xu Huanting smiled.
Ben will? Zhou Ang quietly looked back at Zhang Cong and said, "Who are these two girls?" ”
"My lord, the one in front of you is the eldest lady of the Wei State Mansion, Xu Huanting, the current general of Xuanwu in the imperial court. The one on her right is the second lady of Wu Wangfu, Ji Luo, the lord of Shuiyun County. ”
Zhou Ang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and his shock was beyond words. Two delicate little girls, how can one be bigger than the other? No wonder they all said that Jiang Yun had good luck, and I thought that big luck was referring to the appearance of these two girls, but now, it is their identity at all. Guogong Mansion? Wu Wangfu? Zhou Ang became an official not long ago, and he did not know the entire framework of the Great Zhou. He didn't know the weight of the names Xu Jiye and Ji Mingcheng, she only knew that there was a prince and a prince standing behind these two women, which was enough.
Zhou Ang bit a lot of people, but there was no second rank or above, and the officials at that level were not something he could easily offend, and it was too wide, and it didn't completely depend on the emperor's attitude, let alone the prince of the country. His complexion became extremely ugly for a moment, and when he recalled his previous plan, he felt a burning pain on his face.
"Lord Zhou, are you going to let us stand here until dawn?" Ji Luo didn't look at Zhou Ang before, but seeing that his face was blue and red at the moment, he was relieved in his heart, so he said without yin or yang: "Can you enter the house?" ”
"Oh! The county lord pleases, General Xu pleases. Zhou Ang came back to his senses, smiled, and took the lead in welcoming them into the mansion.
This really stabbed the hornet's nest, and after seeing Xu Huanting enter, the five hundred or so Xuanwu battalion soldiers cheered, and easily squeezed through the defense line of the Zhou Mansion, and poured into the gate of the Zhou Mansion like a flood.
Today's night banquet haunted Zhou Ang's heart like a nightmare, making him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Even if the entire banquet hall was full, there were only a dozen round tables, and only a hundred people were arranged, only one-fifth, and the remaining four hundred or so people, Zhou Ang could only arrange them in the courtyard behind the banquet hall. As a result, the expected orderly banquet suddenly became chaotic. These soldiers are soldiers in the barracks, and they are ruffians when they leave the barracks, where do they know what peace is. Especially after drinking, it is even more profligate. One by one, they held wine bowls in their hands, greeted and toasted across the table, hooked their shoulders and backs, and a few of them drank to the delight, and even sang a few words loudly.
The banquet hall is like this, and the isolated private room is not much better. Xu Huanting has always led the troops with few rules and is more casual, so except for formal occasions and training, the battalion sergeants respect her more than they fear, and they treat each other like friends. Since they are friends, the toasts during the banquet are naturally continuous. Go one, come one, go one, so repeatedly, the banquet has been held for more than an hour, and Zhou Ang was stunned and couldn't say a word to them.
He was worried enough about this, but he didn't want to have a real headache to come. Somehow, the news that Xu Huanting and Ji Luo came to the banquet inexplicably spread out of the Zhou Mansion, and in this way, Zhou Ang fully saw Xu Huanting's energy and connections in the capital.
First of all, the little servant came to report quickly, and the granddaughter of the military department Shangshu Wei came to visit her husband with her husband. Zhou Ang was stunned at the time, don't talk about the military department, he has never had anything to do with the officials of the six departments, the young lady of the dignified Shangshu family, what did he do when he came to visit him with a man? Just when he was stunned, Miss Wei had already come by herself.
"Wan Ting, why don't you go to Beijing and don't say a word to me."
"Jiaojiao, come and sit down." Xu Huanting greeted her, and Wei Jiaolin walked straight towards her. "Lord Zhou, right? Trouble let's talk to Wan Ting. ”
There is one more person for no reason, and he is still the family of the secretary of the military department, Zhou Ang is not good at fighting, so he reluctantly moved a grid and let Wei Jiaolin insert himself between him and Xu Huanting. didn't want his ass to be hot yet, so Wei Jiaolin's husband did the same, and after saying hello, he squeezed into the gap between him and Wei Jiaolin. "Lord Zhou, right? Trouble let let. ”
I heard my daughter-in-law say that she was going to go out, but Xu Feng didn't care, so she only asked her to be careful on the road and come back early. When he heard that his daughter-in-law was going to Zhou Ang's house, he immediately quit. This week, Ang's reputation is too stinky, wouldn't it be a sheep to let his daughter-in-law go alone? Therefore, he not only accompanied him personally, but even sent more than 20 generals to accompany him in case of emergency. This mad dog good wife is famous, let him sit next to his daughter-in-law? Xu Feng was not at ease no matter what he thought, so he hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed Zhou Ang away and acted as a messenger to protect the flowers.
The three daughters frolicked for a while before they started talking, and the messenger ran to shout again: "My lord, the sister of General Liu, the commander of the fifth team of the Praetorian Guard, came to visit her husband with her husband. ”
Zhou Ang: "... ”
"Wan Ting, when did you arrive? Yo, Jiaojiao is also there? Liu Fang appeared in front of the door with a smile, said hello and walked over. Lord Zhou, right? Trouble let let. ”
One after another, in less than half an hour, there were 16 officials and dependents who could have something to do with the military department, but all the married women, the husband must be present in person. Even if there are a few who have not yet left the cabinet, they are all accompanied by their brothers. The entourage ranged from a few people to more than 30 people, and the already crowded Zhou Mansion had three or four hundred more people for no reason.
Eventually, the private room was so crowded that no one had suggested "Men should go outside." The whole private room has become a dining place for the girls, and no one cares what Zhou Ang, the host, thinks. All the men who came with him looked at him with wary eyes, as long as this guy didn't go in, everything was fine.
was kicked out inexplicably, and Zhou Ang stood in the crowded courtyard, feeling sad in his heart. He just wanted to get a little justice from Jiang Yun, why did he have to be treated like this? A gust of autumn wind blew, and Zhou Ang couldn't help but shiver slightly, and then gradually came back to his senses. Looking at the messy yard, the mood that gradually calmed down suddenly became bad again.
These bastards and ruffians, they didn't even eat a meal, what do they think of this? The angry Zhou Ang suddenly swept two familiar figures out of the corners of his eyes, and for a moment, he ran forward quickly. "Dad, mother, you are not resting in the room, what are you doing when you run out? It's a mess out there. ”
The old man and the old lady looked at each other and smiled bitterly. "The house has been occupied for drinking, son, who have you invited back?"
“。。。”
"Young master, young master." As he was talking, a maid suddenly ran in the distance, her little face was flushed, and she shouted eagerly: "Young master, it's not good, the two antique vases in the living room of the side house are missing." ”
"Your Excellency..." Before the maid finished speaking, a small servant ran behind her. "My lord, it's not good, the famous Mobao hanging in your house is gone."
"Huh?"
Zhou Ang looked dazed, but the old couple reacted quickly, glanced at each other, hurriedly pulled up their legs and ran towards their own room, and after a while, they helped each other out dejectedly. "Son, your mother... The five hundred taels of silver tickets that your mother hid under the bed are gone. ”
“。。。” Grass, did he bring a group of soldiers or a group of thieves? In the blink of an eye, he took so many things away?
Zhou Ang was furious in his heart, and he wanted to attack immediately, but after thinking about it carefully, his anger suddenly leaked out. There is no way to make trouble about this, there are too many officials and dependents who came tonight, and if one is not good, you have to offend the entire military department of Da Zhou, some of these grandparents have military power in their hands, and they have always been used to being rampant and domineering, how can they bear the slightest grievance? If you want to provoke them, let alone tomorrow, you won't be able to get through tonight, and the entire Zhou Mansion will have to be demolished.
Damn, it's all Jiang Yun's bastard thing! Steal, rob! Let's make a count, even the principal and interest will be taken back from him!
