Chapter 159: The Banquet of the Xiao Mansion

Xiao Suli was in the palace at this time, and told Xiao Tali everything Chen Yuan said to him. He didn't understand why his sister would be interested in such a small person.

Xiao Tatari is also planning her second step in her heart, and it is very coincidental that her second step is also to break the balance of the current court power of the Liao State. She has been in Taoguang for all these years, and now there are very few people available in Xiao Tatar's hands now.

Zhang Li is a capable assistant, but for Xiao Tatari, Zhang Li is a friend, a friend who can help very much. She now needs not only friends, but also helpers.

Therefore, Xiao Tatari needs to break the balance of the court, find those who can help him, and let these people have enough power to prepare for Yelu Hongji's ascension to the crown prince.

When Yelu Hongji came back and relayed to her Chen Yuan's performance, she was particularly interested in this Song man who was about to be promoted by Liao Xingzong.

In her opinion, Chen Yuan's biggest flaw is that he is a Song person, and it is precisely because Chen Yuan is a Song person that Yanjing has no foundation and is relatively easy to control. And because of the relationship between the nationalities, it can also be guaranteed that Chen Yuan will not rebel after the future.

What makes Xiao Tatanli even more interested is that if there is any accident, there is no trouble in abandoning the car to protect the handsome!

After listening to Xiao Suli finish their conversation, Xiao Tali smiled lightly: "He was beaten? I thought, if we come forward to comfort him now, can we make him come closer to us? ”

Xiao Suli immediately said: "After he was beaten yesterday, he didn't even have the courage to sue in the court, those who went with him didn't come to help him, he actually helped people settle the account, sister, I don't think he is any different from those cowardly Song people." ”

Xiao Tali glanced at Xiao Suli: "I know, I will be measured in things, you help him a little outside, of course, just help him deal with some business matters, what he said, what,"

Xiao Suli was busy: "Financing." ”

Xiao Tatari snorted: "Well, I don't understand business matters, if you think it's appropriate, do it quickly." Later, I will let you bring him to me. ”

Hu Jing's noodles are still so delicious, and Hu Jing knew that Chen Yuan's gums were a little injured, so he deliberately boiled the noodles for a longer time, and then waited for the noodle soup to warm up before serving it to him, such meticulous care made Chen Yuan feel happy.

This kind of happiness needs to be guarded, after Chen Yuan finished eating, he gently took Hu Jing's hand: "Sister, when there is no one in the future, can I be your wife?" ”

Hu Jing's face was a little shy, and there was some surprise in her tone, but she said helplessly: "Big brother, we said okay, can't you wait for me for two years?" ”

Chen Yuan pulled her handful to his chest: "It's no problem for me to wait for you for a hundred years, it's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to wait that long." You said two years, what is there to do, can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you. ”

There was a confused look in Hu Jing's eyes, she also wanted to let go of her hatred and live with Chen Yuan like this, but from the moment she was born, she lived for the hatred of her family, and she seemed to be born to seek revenge on Pang Ji.

When she was in Bianjing, she didn't know Chen Yuan, let alone how powerful Pang Ji was. That's why he agreed to marry Chen Yuan with Linghua.

But along the way, her feelings for Chen Yuan have increased, and from Pang Xi's body, she also knows that the big names in the court that she has always relied on are not Pang Ji's opponents at all.

So she was even more afraid that she would implicate Chen Yuan.

After hesitating for a moment, Hu Jing finally smiled slightly, pulled his hand out of Chen Yuan's palm, and smiled slightly: "Brother Chen, you should rest early, take care of your injuries, and talk about it when your injuries are healed." ”

This is a prevarication, Chen Yuan really doesn't want to call her Hu Jing anymore, he knows that this is a fake name, her real name should be what Pang Xi said that day, but now that she doesn't say it herself, Chen Yuan is not willing to force her to say it.

The sincerity that is forced out is not interesting at all.

Chen Yuan stretched his waist: "Then so be it, I am indeed a little tired, by the way, you ask Pang Xi and them to find Wang Lun, tomorrow afternoon, I will go to Xiao Suli's house with him to talk about business." ”

The next day, Chen Yuan really didn't go anywhere, he kept lying down in bed, and after Wang Lun came in the afternoon, the two of them took a carriage to Xiao Suli's house together.

The outcome of tonight's banquet is directly related to the progress of Chen Yuan's plan, so Chen Yuan has already made a draft in his heart, and he has made sufficient preparations for all kinds of questions that those people may raise.

Wang Lun sat next to Chen Yuan and stared at Chen Yuan for a long time, but he never spoke, which made Chen Yuan feel a little strange.

To be honest, Chen Yuan felt that Wang Lun was very strange in itself, they were all in business, but Wang Lun had a temperament that regarded money as dung. And the two of them have been on poetry, Wang Lun is actually proficient in writing and ink in his chest, which makes Chen Yuan really interested in this person, the more he gets in touch, the more he feels that Wang Lun is a puzzle, a puzzle that people can't guess and can't see.

Wang Lun obviously looked at Chen Yuan in this way, especially after what happened yesterday, Wang Lun felt that it was necessary for the two sides to have a communication.

Seeing Chen Yuan turn his deformed face to look at him, Wang Lun smiled and decided to pick things apart: "Brother Chen, our business cooperation is getting more and more pleasant, and my brother really wants to continue to be so happy in the future, so I want to talk to Brother Chen." ”

Chen Yuan snorted: "What does Brother Wang want to talk about?" ”

Wang Lun thought for a while, but Chen Yuan didn't urge him, and after a while, Wang Lun said slowly: "Brother Chen, in fact, it's just a place to understand. When you come to Yanjing, do you have something to do? ”

Chen Yuan's heart immediately chuckled, he really didn't know how Wang Lun could see it.

Although his face was so deformed that he couldn't see the expression, Wang Lun still judged from Chen Yuan's reaction that his thoughts were completely correct. Immediately hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Chen, don't get me wrong, no matter what you come to do, I just want to make more money to go back, I just hope that if anything happens, Brother Chen can inform us in advance, after all, we are all Song people, and we will meet in the future." ”

Chen Yuan moved his body in front of Wang Lun: "Brother Wang, where did my brother let you see that he didn't come to do business?" ”

Wang Lun smiled lightly: "You come to do business, why do you want to be an official of the Liao State?" With Brother Chen's talent and wit, if you want to be an official, you can do it in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Chen Yuan spread his hands and was about to say the fair and honest words, but Wang Lun took the first step and said: "Don't tell me that others forced you, from the moment Wen Tong brought you the Yelu Nie Gollum, I knew that you were looking for something by yourself!" If you are afraid of trouble, you can transfer the goods to other caravans. ”

Chen Yuan's words were held at the edge of his teeth, he looked at Wang Lun, and finally swallowed the words back: "Since Brother Wang knows that I am not only doing business, why did he agree to get involved with me?" ”

Wang Lun patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder: "It's very simple, just because you helped Song Qi fight that one." I believe that no matter what you do, it will not be a bad thing, and besides, you can guess a ** in your heart. ”

After he finished speaking, he put his hand on Chen Yuan's shoulder and did not leave, and the other hand stretched out his thumb: "After I heard about the fact that you saved those two women yesterday, I admired Brother Chen even more in my heart, so I came to explain to you today." I hope we can make friends in the future, and if Brother Chen has a place for me, just ask. ”

Chen Yuan knew that Wang Lun had no reason to lie to him, and now he really needed help. However, Wang Lun's mystery has always made Chen Yuan a little afraid to get too close, and now that he has taken the initiative to explain the relationship, he might as well ask bluntly: "Brother Wang, why don't you go to be an official?" ”

Wang Lun smiled: "I am not satisfied with Brother Chen, I am talented in my thesis, I have won the forty-first place in the emperor list." In terms of martial arts, I was a martial artist six years ago, and if I wanted to be an official, I would go up no matter which way I went. As for why he didn't want to, did Brother Chen want to listen to my perfunctory words, or was it true? ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Of course listen to the truth." ”

Wang Lun said: "The truth is, I can't get used to the style of officialdom, and I don't want to be in the company of those mediocre people. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "This seems to be perfunctory. ”

Wang Lun didn't distinguish anything, but stared at Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, I have already said everything I can say, just like Brother Chen, there are some things, let's do our own good." can meet a friend like Brother Chen, and the brother did not come in vain this trip, if Brother Chen has any dispatch in the future, just let someone come over. ”

This was the first time Chen Yuan had seen such a witty person. Wang Lun must have guessed Chen Yuan's purpose, but he didn't say it. Similarly, his perfunctory remark also told the real reason why he was not an official, but Chen Yuan pretended to be confused.

As Wang Lun said, there are some things that can be said by saying what you can say. If it's too thorough, it won't do you any good.

Chen Yuan had to admit that Wang Lun's ideals were much more ambitious than his own. This is a nice statement, but what is not good is that his ideals are even more unrealistic.

The carriage arrived in front of Xiao Suli's house, and after the two people jumped out of the carriage, Li Tiegun and Amuda behind them also followed on horseback, protecting them on the left and right sides respectively.

Wang Lun glanced at a row of carriages parked outside Xiao Suli's house: "Hehe, this old Xiao seems to have invited a lot of people, and there are more than 20 carriages alone." ”

Chen Yuan calculated: "There should be more than 40 people, let's go, let's go in too, the purpose of my coming tonight is to let these more than 40 people pay out." ”

Wang Lun smiled slightly, and walked into the door of Xiao Tali's house with Chen Yuan's side.

The porter at the door already knew them, and when he saw them coming in, he didn't stop them, and bent down and said, "Chen Ye and Wang Ye are here?" Please, our lord has been waiting for you. ”

Chen Yuanchong nodded at the porter: "It's hard, who are the people who came tonight?" ”

The porter patted his forehead: "Look at my surname!" Our master also asked me to show the roster to the two masters first, but I forgot about it. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "It's not in a hurry to take it now." ”

The porter's hand pointed to his own hut: "I have wronged the two of you, let's come to the villain's house first, there are people here and there, and it is not very convenient to speak." ”

Turned around and took Chen Yuan and Wang Lun into the small house at the door, and sure enough, there was a roster on the table, and the concierge picked it up and said to Chen Yuan: "Two masters, please see, there are a total of fifty-eight people, today Xiao Ye is setting a big banquet, forty-three of which are marked with red dots by our master, let Chen Ye keep more." There were fifteen more people who came mainly to join in the fun. ”
