Chapter 684: Yu Mansion Goes to the Banquet
Yu Chang was receiving guests, and when he saw Mo'er coming in with Wang Xiang, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Master Hou is here."
Wang Xiang nodded and smiled slightly.
Yu Chang received Wang Xiangmo'er and took the opportunity to sneak away with a food box and go to find Yu Xiuyan.
There was no one present who didn't know Wang Xiang, and they all greeted him warmly when they saw him, and Wang Xiang also returned the salute one by one.
Some of the guests who came this time had also been here last time, and because of Wang Xiang, they also tasted mutant beast meat, so they were all looking forward to seeing Wang Xiang coming.
Wang Xiang didn't disappoint them either, he had asked Steward Wang to prepare a lot of mutant beast meat before he came.
Yu Xiuyan was playing chess with Yu Shinan in the backyard of Yu Mansion, and when she saw Mo'er coming over with a happy face, she immediately smiled: "Mo'er, why are you so happy." β
Mo'er realized that she had arrived in the backyard, and hurriedly saluted Yu Shinan and Yu Xiuyan, and then leaned into Yu Xiuyan's ear and whispered, "Marquis Jiayuan is here." β
"He's coming!" Yu Xiuyan's eyes lit up.
Yu Shinan on the other side smiled: "Who came to make our family Xiuyan so happy?" β
Yu Xiuyan's face turned red and whispered, "I, I'm not happy." After speaking, he hurriedly picked up a chess piece and messed around, trying to hide his mood.
Seeing Yu Xiuyan's move, Yu Shinan shook his head and smiled, this is not like Yu Xiuyan's level.
"Oops, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to go back to, and this will cost me a loss."
After speaking, he didn't dare to look at Yu Shinan's searching eyes, so he pulled Mo'er and ran away.
The guests came almost here, and Mrs. Yu, who came to invite Yu Shinan, looked at Yu Xiuyan with a happy look and sighed secretly.
"Dad, the guests are already here, just waiting for you to come over."
Yu Shinan nodded and asked, "Is the Marquis of Jiayuan here?" β
Mrs. Yu nodded and smiled: "Here, I asked my father just now if his health is better." β
Yu Shinan smiled heartily when he heard this, and said, "Okay, it's even better than before." β
Because of his age, Yu Shinan originally had a lot of old problems, although there was no major problem, but he was usually very uncomfortable, since he drank the mutated pear juice last time, he found that his old problems had disappeared, and his body was much easier than before, so he was naturally more grateful to Wang Xiang.
Yu Chang was not stingy, and he immediately asked people to take the mutant beast meat sent by Wang Xiang to the back kitchen to cook and entertain guests.
As he was talking, he saw Yu Shinan coming, Yu Chang hurriedly stepped forward to help, Yu Shinan waved his hand and said, "No need to help, I can walk by myself." β
Yu Chang had no choice but to follow Yu Shinan and take care of it carefully.
As soon as Yu Shinan came, the guests at the banquet got up and saluted Yu Shinan, although Yu Shinan is now resigned at home, but everyone is very respectful of him like the great Confucian of the dynasty.
Yu Shinan saw Wang Xiang in the crowd at a glance, laughed, and stepped forward.
"The old man is very happy that the Marquis of Jiayuan can come."
Wang Xiang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Master Yu still calls the new life in the later life." β
"Okay, then the old man will call you Zixin directly." Yu Shinan smiled with relief and said: "The old man's body was not fully recovered when Zixin left in a hurry last time, so I couldn't thank Zixin for saving his life. β
Wang Xiang said with a smile: "Boss Yu is polite, Boss Yu has his own natural appearance, and there are so many doctors here, even if there is no son, Boss Yu will be fine." β
Wang Xiang was very humble and low-key in front of Yu Shinan, and he did not have the arrogance and arrogance of other rich and noble children at all, and the more Yu Shinan looked at it, the more he liked it.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, and the people around him also toasted Wang Xiang one after another.
"I heard that Your Majesty is going to hold a new event in the palace, and let the Marquis of Jiayuan handle it, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
An official took advantage of the toast to ask Wang Xiang.
Wang Xiang nodded and said, "But there is such a thing." β
Suddenly, someone was curious: "I don't know what kind of activities will be held in the palace this year?" β
Not all officials are eligible to participate in the activities of the palace, but this does not prevent everyone's curiosity.
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "This year, there will be a bullfighting event in the palace. β
"Bullfighting?" Everyone was puzzled, obviously not knowing what kind of activity bullfighting was.
An official wondered, "Could it be that two cows are fighting each other?" It's a novelty. β
Wang Xiang said with a smile: "It's not that two cows fight each other, but that people and cattle fight each other, and it can't be said to be fighting, in fact, it's just a bullfighting that makes people tease and irritable, and it's still quite interesting." β
"Wouldn't that be dangerous?" Some people worry that being hit by the horns or kicked by the hooves is not a trivial matter.
"Ordinary people do have dangers in bullfighting, but the bullfighters in this event are all capable people in the palace, so there will be no danger."
Hearing the words "capable people", many people have envy in their eyes, the world in the future is the world of capable people, this sentence is not wrong at all, and now many old ministers in the DPRK and China have gradually retreated, especially military attachΓ©s, and the newly promoted ones are basically capable people.
"Xia Guan has never heard of bullfighting, but unfortunately Xia Guan's low official position is not qualified to enter the palace to watch this bullfighting activity."
Wang Xiang said with a smile: "It's okay, this year's event is not held in the palace, but in the square outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the people of Chang'an City can go to see the excitement." β
Hearing Wang Xiang say this, many people immediately appeared that they would definitely go to see it when the time came.
The conversation was in full swing, and Yu Xiuyan stayed in the boudoir and thought about it while eating the snacks Wang Xiang brought her.
After a while, Mo'er quietly ran in, sat next to Yu Xiuyan and whispered: "Marquis Jiayuan is talking to other guests in the front yard, and the old man and the old man are sitting with him." β
After speaking, he looked at the dim sum in front of him.
Yu Xiuyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Gluttonous girl, I know that you like to eat dim sum, eat it." β
"Thank you, Miss!" Mo'er cheered, grabbed her heart, and ate it with a happy face.
Yu Xiuyan patted her hand and said, "Don't patronize and eat, tell me what Marquis Jiayuan said to everyone in the front yard." β
Mo'er swallowed the snack in her mouth, looked at the other snacks on the plate and said, "I didn't hear it too clearly, it seemed to be talking about cows." β
"What cow?" Yu Xiuyan was confused when she heard it.
Mo'er wrinkled her nose and thought about it and said: "It seems to say that there are some activities to be held in the palace, and the yaks brought back from the Western Regions are to be used, and the other Mo'er didn't understand, but I heard that this year's activities in the palace were organized by the Marquis of Jiayuan." β
Yu Xiuyan said with a look of pity: "It's a pity that we can't enter the palace to watch the event." β
Mo'er shook her head and said, "You don't need to enter the palace, I heard that Marquis Jiayuan said that this year's event will be held in the square outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the people of Chang'an City will be able to see it at that time." β
"Really!" Yu Xiuyan's eyes lit up: "Then let's go and see when the time comes, the activities organized by Jiayuan Hou must be different from others." β
