Chapter 109: The Villain
"Ah, Zhang Gongzi is leaving! How? But what's the misgreeting? Tang Gongzi was like half a master, and he jumped out and shouted Zhang Ru.
Zhang Ru smiled: "The owner of this Xie Mansion is too arrogant, Zhang is not used to waiting, it is better to go back early." ”
It seemed that Xie Qianjin and his son were by his side, and Tang Gongzi suddenly came to confidence: "Since you are here, let's go sit together for a while, anyway, you are idle and idle." ”
"My family is not idle, I don't need you to comment!" Fan Tong's yin and yang are weird and authentic.
Tang Gongzi looked at Fan Tong with disdain: "This son is talking to your family, it's not your turn to interject!" Master Zhang, how do you teach your subordinates, if you can't teach, my son doesn't mind teaching for you. ”
These two goods didn't know Zhang Ru's identity at all, and from Su Qiqi's mouth, they only knew that this young man was a petty officer. He didn't know, but Su Qiqi knew that seeing him talk like this, Su Qiqi was afraid that Zhang Ru would be angry, so he secretly pulled the corner of Tang Gongzi's clothes.
Zhang Ru, who didn't want to worry about Tang Gongzi, saw this small action, and suddenly became angry, and said loudly to Fan Tong: "Fan Tong, slap your mouth!" ”
It's no wonder that he didn't speak clearly, Fan Tong actually raised his hand and slapped himself.
Zhang Ru laughed angrily: "He's stupid, you're stupid!" I'll let you slap his mouth. ”
Tang Gongzi, who was very proud just now, suddenly became stunned, he never thought that Zhang Ru would do things so undisciplined.
Fan Tong was also annoyed, and he actually understood the adult's meaning wrongly, causing himself to be slapped in vain.
He took three steps and made two steps to Tang Gongzi's side, picked up Tang Gongzi's clothes, and raised his hand to slap him twice: "Let you entertain Lao Tzu, let you entertain Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill you without a tutor." ”
After a few slaps, half of Tang Gongzi's face was swollen, but Fan Tong had no intention of giving up, at this time, Xie Qianjin's face was a little unbearable, and he shouted in a low voice: "Enough!" ”
Beating his guests in his mansion as if there was no one around, made him feel disgraced, so he didn't allow it to continue.
Fan Tong never stopped, and looked at Zhang Ru while fighting.
Xie Qianjin's face sank: "Gongzi Zhang, I'm afraid it's not good to beat people in the old man's mansion like this!" ”
Zhang Ru raised his hand when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Since Master Xie has spoken, this bit of face still has to be given." The lesson is enough, Fan Tong, let's go back. ”
"Since you have given the old man the first face, how about giving some more face? The old man prepared a little wine under the house, and asked Zhang Gongzi to drink it. Xie Qianjin's face softened slightly, and he said with a smile.
Zhang Ru pondered slightly: "It's okay, the wine on Master Xie's mansion still has to be drunk." However, Master Xie's style, Zhang has seen it for the first time, and it is really an eye-opener. ”
Xie Qianjin looked a little embarrassed, didn't speak, stretched out his hand and made a polite gesture, and walked side by side towards the banquet scene with Zhang Ru.
Seeing Zhang Ru go and return, the middle-aged Confucian was surprised, but seeing Xie Qianjin's attitude towards Zhang Ru, he was silent. The entourage opened his mouth, and was immediately forced back by a fierce look from him.
Everyone was seated, and a few tables were empty, and it seemed that no one had come.
Xie Qianjin beckoned to a servant girl, whispered a few words, and the servant girl flew away, and not long after, she came over with more than a dozen people.
These dozen people are not small, one is Zhang An, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and the other is a middle-aged man Zhang Ru who doesn't know, but who follows Zhang An, should be the general of Xuanfu. There was also a kind-looking little old man, who had a ruddy face and a smile on his face, just like Maitreya Buddha.
In the crowd, these two people gave Zhang Ru a few more looks, and he didn't care much about the others.
After sitting down, Zhang Ru realized that there were only a few people sitting at the table he was in, and this table was the farthest from the main table.
Fan Tong was about to go crazy on the spot, but his arm was grabbed by Zhang Ru, and as soon as his butt left the stool, he felt a huge force fixed him on the stool.
Xie Qianjin stood up and raised his glass and said loudly: "Today, Xie Mou's 60th birthday, thanks to everyone's affordability, I took time out of my busy schedule to attend the birthday banquet." The little old man prepared a little wine, and just hoped to get drunk with all his friends. The little old man will do it first as a respect, you are free. ”
The owner said so, and the others naturally couldn't sit still, and raised their glasses to wish him a happy birthday. The ingenious young man even gave a small gift that was carefully prepared, of course, this small gift is generally not very valuable.
Xie Qianjin's family is rich, and ordinary gifts naturally won't be put in his eyes, besides, his identity doesn't need to rely on this birthday gift to set off, the important thing about the gift is a heart.
After a few juniors gave gifts, the older ones also began to give gifts, and in the end, even Zhang An took out a simple and unpretentious jade jue from his arms.
Fan Tong lowered his voice and said, "My lord, we don't know that this old miscellaneous hair has passed his life, and he hasn't made any preparations. Either your subordinates will go out to procure it immediately, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to get by. ”
Zhang Ruwei smiled: "If we can come, it is the best birthday gift, don't care so much, if someone makes trouble later, don't make a sound, everything is with me." ”
Fan Tong nodded and stopped talking.
After following Zhang Ru for a long time, he knows that adults have ideas, so he doesn't worry about these things.
Sure enough, after everyone gave the gifts, under the leadership of Xie Dagongzi, many people's eyes fell on Zhang Ru and the others.
Except for Zhang An's eyes in the crowd, everyone else had a good look on the show.
Zhang Ru calmly dealt with it, eating what should be eaten and drinking what should be drunk. These drinks and dishes have been secretly investigated by Jiang Wei, and there are no toxins. Otherwise, he wouldn't eat anything outside casually, after all, his identity is very sensitive now, and there is an eldest princess Gulun who is staring at it all the time in the dark.
Seeing that he was so calm, while secretly scolding him in his heart for being thick-skinned, Mr. Xie bypassed the crowd and walked towards him: "I don't know if this son-in-law can prepare a birthday gift for his father?" ”
Zhang Ru put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth slowly with the white silk scarf on the table, and spread his hands: "I came in a hurry, I didn't prepare anything." ”
Mr. Xie's face became colder, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the smile was no longer gentle: "Could it be that Mr. Zhang was not invited by his father?" Dare to ask Zhang Gongzi if he has an invitation card in his hand, and if so, ask Gongzi to take it out and take a look. ”
Zhang Ru immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap.
This trap should be carefully compiled, and it is very likely that it was compiled by Xie Dagongzi and Tang Gongzi, and Xie Qianjin may not know about it.
He looked indifferent: "There is no invitation." ”
Grand Prince Xie paused for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhang Ru to say so frankly that he didn't have an invitation. He glanced at Tang Gongzi, who had become a pig's head, and the latter gave him a fierce look.
He immediately nodded understandingly: "So, Zhang Gongzi is uninvited?" Today's father's birthday, I didn't think about making a big fanfare, but I just invited some friends to come over. Zhang Gongzi and my Xie family have never known each other all their lives, so they sit in the guest seat in such a grand manner, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate! ”
Xie Qianjin obviously heard the sarcasm in his son's words, and said in a low voice: "Jie'er, don't be rude." ”
Mr. Xie turned a deaf ear: "Since there is no invitation, I also ask Mr. Zhang to go out first, and another day, Xie will come to apologize." ”
Zhang Ru stood up and stroked the hem of his robe: "I will come because someone said yesterday that someone wanted to invite me to a banquet, but today I came, and I was treated coldly, and I was embarrassed by you Xie Gongzi." Okay, this love, Zhang and Jin Yiwei, both remember. ”
Grand Master Xie said coldly: "Although Gongzi Zhang is a person of Jinyiwei, he may not be able to be the master of Jinyiwei. Not to mention the brocade Yiwei who has achieved nothing, it is Wang's father-in-law in the West Factory back then, and when he saw his father, he had to call Master Xie. Childe still don't take himself too seriously, so as not to laugh at him. ”
There are some things that shouldn't be said, but Xie Dagongzi said them, Xie Qianjin couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said angrily: "Xie Jie, go back to Lao Tzu." ”
Zhang Ru stretched out his hand and made a slightly calming gesture towards Xie Qianjin: "Xuanfu Jinyi Wei Thousand Households can be here?" ”
The men looked at each other and shook their heads.
Grand Prince Xie said disdainfully: "A thousand households are not qualified to participate in such a banquet. ”
Zhang Ru groaned, "Oh. Looks like I'm going to be played by you, well, very good! Fan Tong, after going back, immediately ordered the Xuanfu Thousand Households, from now on, all the properties of the Xie family will be stared at, and all those involved in violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty will be seized. Keep an eye on all the officials of the Xuan Mansion, and all officials who collude with the Xie Mansion will be taken down! Zhang An, take a good inventory of the generals under you, don't let our Ming soldiers become vassals of some rich businessmen. ”
After a few orders, a strange look appeared on everyone's faces.
Fan Tong accepted the order very calmly, and Zhang An said in a cold tone: "You don't need to ask about the general's affairs." ”
Zhang Ru nodded happily, but the magnitude of this nod was only seen by Zhang An and the burly man beside him. He turned around, and left with two of his men with a blushing face, not looking at everyone present.
I don't know why, although the two generals, one big and one small, have different positions with each other, they have a feeling of being in their hearts.
Therefore, Zhang An did not reveal Zhang Ru's identity, and Zhang Ru did not report his family.
Until Zhang Ru left, everyone was in the dark, not knowing who this person who could say such unashamed words was.
After Zhang Ru left, Wang Kaitai, the prefect of Xuanfu, immediately approached Zhang An's side and asked, "General, what is the origin of this guy?" ”
The people around him were listening with their ears pricked up, and Zhang An smiled slightly: "This person is just a useless person in Jinyiwei, so there is no need to mind." Come on, come on, let's drink. ”
Grand Duke Xie and Young Master Tang glanced at each other, and both of them showed knowing smiles. It's just that when Tang Gongzi smiled, he pulled the wound on his face, and he grinned in pain.
