Chapter 35: The Reception Feast

didn't let Yuan Xu wait long, and a group of officials entered one after another.

The first person was wearing a grass-green official robe, with white skin and a long black beard floating on his chin, which was quite elegant.

The officials who entered the house with him were all dressed in green official uniforms.

The officials entered, and Yuan Xu stood up.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, but is it a prominent prince?" Seeing Yuan Xu, everyone saluted him, and the person asked very well.

This person is handsome, if he shaves off his beard and changes to a Luo skirt, he doesn't need to apply powder at all, and he will be full of peerless elegance.

From the positions where the officials were standing, Yuan Xu could see that the person in the lead should be Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi.

Zhen Yi, he is no stranger.

After reading a lot of historical materials and idle books, Yuan Xu knew that Zhen Yi was the father of Luo Shen Zhen Mi.

Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" pushed Zhen Mi to the pinnacle of ancient beauties.

The appearance is beautiful, comparable to God when he was born, and he holds Luoshui after death, just thinking about such a beauty, he feels relaxed and happy!

Yuan Xu didn't believe how beautiful Zhen Mi would be before, after all, many so-called beauties were false, and when they saw real people, it was nothing more than that.

Seeing Zhen Yi, he was immediately sure that the rumors about Zhen Mi's beauty would not be false.

The daughter is like a father, Zhen Yi is already so handsome, his daughter will never be far behind.

Thinking about these strange thoughts, of course Yuan Xu couldn't say it.

Holding his fists and arching towards the officials, Yuan Xu said: "Under Yuan Xu, I will take over the post of captain of Shangcai County on the order of the general, and I hope that the princes will give more advice!" ”

"The county lieutenant is too humble!" Zhen Yi laughed with him and said to Yuan Xu: "A certain is Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi." Shangcai thieves are rampant, the public comes here, saving me is equal to fire and water, we are so prepared! It's still early now, and the lower officials have prepared a reception banquet, and they hope that the public will be rewarded and their faces will be moved! ”

It didn't take long for it to get dark, Zhen Yi offered an invitation, and Yuan Xu couldn't refuse.

Thanking everyone, he left the room accompanied by the four guards and Xiao Zhu.

Before going out, Yuan Xu specially asked the messenger for a deep coat for Xiao Zhu to wear.

Although it is not too cold in the early spring, it is a bit strange to go out shirtless.

Shangcai's official mansion is not very big, and the officials in the county have houses outside, even Zhen Yi does not live here on weekdays.

Looking at the official mansion alone, it is very simple, and even the paint on the pillars of the hall is a little mottled in the rooms for entertaining guests.

People who don't know about it will even think that this is a Qingshui Yamen when they come to Shangcai for the first time!

Accompanied by Zhen Yi and others into the banquet hall, the four guards stayed outside the door, and Xiao Zhu followed Yuan Xu.

Sitting separately according to their official positions, Zhen Yi looked at Xiao Zhu standing behind Yuan Xu and asked, "Your appearance is extraordinary, and you are still naked in the early spring, I don't know ......."

"He's not a subordinate!" Glancing at Xiao Zhu, Yuan Xu said: "It's just a chance encounter on the road, seeing that he is homeless, and seeing him at first sight, so bring it!" ”

Standing behind Yuan Xu, Xiao Zhu did not stand straight and upright like a normal guard, but looked east and west, as if he was interested in everything.

How smart Zhen Yi and the others are, seeing this scene, it is known that Xiao Zhu's mind is not very bright.

"The county lieutenant has a banquet, and there is a person standing behind him......" laughed with him, Zhen Yi said: "Since Your Excellency met by chance on the way, it is better to open another table outside!" ”

"No, he can just sit with so-and-so!" turned around and pulled Xiao Zhu and let him sit next to him.

This move made Zhen Yi and the others feel strange!

How noble is the Yuan family?

Even if you are a concubine, you should not sit at the same table with a teenager.

Could it be that the new county lieutenant is also not very bright?

Finding that everyone's expressions were different, Yuan Xu didn't explain, but said a few words of gossip to Xiao Zhu.

Thinking didn't say anything to him at all, Xiao Zhu picked up the wine bottle on the table and tilted his head to play.

Before Yuan Xu came to Shangcai, Zhen Yi and the county officials had received news that although he was Yuan Shao's son, he had always been the head of the army in the army.

Born in the Yuan family, he is only a firehead army, and he should not be valued by Yuan Shao.

Everything in front of him seemed to confirm the officials' opinions, and Zhen Yi and several key officials exchanged glances.

If the county lieutenant is really not very smart, things will be much easier in the future!

With the benefits, you don't even have to get a piece of the pie at all!

"Prefectural order!" A messenger came in from outside the house, hugged his fists and said to Zhen Yi: "Jiang Tingpeng is sick, I'm afraid I won't come to the reception banquet tonight!" ”

"Jiang Jian has always been like this, don't worry about him!" Obviously very prejudiced against that Jiang Tingpeng, Zhen Yi's face instantly became a little bad and said: "Tell me to go down and put on a banquet to sing and dance!" ”

"No!" And the messenger withdrew, and ordered a feast.

Sitting in the hall, Yuan Xu didn't say anything.

He could already see that the eyes of Zhen Yi and the others looking at him had changed slightly.

Agreeing to the invitation, he originally planned to see what kind of pomp and circumstance the reception banquet was.

At the local level, the more greedy the officials, the more they have no political achievements, and the more they like to be extravagant!

When he arrived in Shangcai, Yuan Xu felt that something was wrong.

The thieves did not harass the city, and even the villages where they passed showed no signs of being attacked.

The Yellow Turban thieves have an extremely bad reputation, and they have heard of some from the mouths of those who have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but wherever the Yellow Turbans pass, no matter men, women, or children, they must not be bullied by them.

Shang Cai's thieves didn't do that!

Could it be that the yellow turban thief is good?

Yuan Xu wouldn't believe it!

Judging from the expressions of Zhen Yi and the others, Yuan Xu could see that they might regard him as a stupid person who was only a little smarter than Xiao Zhu!

Since that's the case, it's better for stupid people to do it to the end and see how they are!

After sending someone out, Zhen Yi and the officials talked to Yuan Xu about admiring Yuan Shao.

Yuan Xu also responded with a match, two of which were not even related to the answers.

Looking at the increasingly strange looks of Zhen Yi and the officials, Yuan Xu felt a little funny!

Since you regard the master as a stupid person, the master will let you see what it means to be really stupid!

A group of women in plain white Luo skirts rushed in with trays in their hands.

On the tray, there are some dried fruits and meat.

The food was placed on the low table in front of everyone, and the plain-clothed women did not retreat, but walked to the table one after another, and sat down next to each table.

Seeing that there was something to eat, Xiao Zhu grabbed a pork leg and bit it hard.

His actions took officials by surprise, and some even frowned and shook their heads.

"Taste so-and-so!" Ignoring the reaction of the officials at all, Yuan Xu moved closer to Xiao Zhu.

"Give!" Xiao Zhu was also generous, and handed the pork leg to him casually.

"Huh" took a bite, Yuan Xu chewed uncontrollably, looking like he didn't look at anyone in his eyes.

The faces of many county officials were as ugly as eating flies, but Zhen Yi had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was relieved.
