Han Jian personally sent Gu Xin'er back to Gu's mansion, and seeing that it was almost noon, he packed up his mood and went to Qingxu Yashe.

It has been less than a morning since Lin Xiaoshu took up the position of the shopkeeper of Qingxu Yashe, and Han Jian did not see her when he arrived, probably in the back kitchen and did not entertain guests outside. Han Jian went upstairs, there were already many guests at the table at this time, and they fixed the table by the window, Huang Lie, the protagonist of today's banquet, was not there, but Yang Xi was there. In addition to Yang Xi, there are also Sima Yi and Ruan Ping, who just came out of the examination in the examination institute.

"Young boy." Seeing Han Jianlai, Ruan Ping and others stood up to greet him.

Han Jian saw Ruan Ping's sluggish appearance, and sat down to comfort him. Ruan Ping was full of confidence before the exam, but after experiencing a fraud case and squatting in a cell for two days to take the exam again, his confidence was almost shocked. Even he didn't dare to say how he did in the exam.

"Brother Han, didn't you say that Huang Gongzi would come, why didn't you see him yet? I also want to thank him in person for rescuing my third brother. Yang Xi looked at Han Jian and asked.

Han Jian smiled helplessly, Huang Lie's invitation said that he would invite guests to dinner at Qingxu Yashe at noon, and Han Jian didn't know what the situation was when he was late. Han Jian couldn't go to the Nanwang Mansion to get Huang Lie over, not to mention that Huang Lie probably didn't stay in the Nanwang Mansion Courtyard.

"Maybe it'll be there in a minute." Han Jian said perfunctorily, and asked Yang Yu about his current situation by the way.

Yang Xi replied one by one, in general, Yang Yu's situation was very bad. The main thing is that he was drunk and unconscious, he was kidnapped in this situation, and he woke up in the cellar like a big dream, and then the court launched a rescue and shouted to kill, Yang Yu was tossed a lot this day and night.

Yang Xi said: "Those chaotic parties are too cunning, although the imperial court has rescued people, they still escaped some of them, and the woman who is said to have come forward to commit the murder the night before has not shown her head, and now the Tingwei Mansion is still issuing a list to arrest them." ”

Han Jianxin said that those are all Jianghu guests, first-class masters, and it is good to be able to rescue people now, and you still want to wipe out those people? Too whimsical.

"By the way, Brother Han, there is one more thing." Yang Xi said suddenly, "Today, my sister said that another banquet may be held to shock my third brother, and there will not be too many people invited to this banquet, mainly those who have contributed to saving people this time." I think most of them will invite you, Brother Han, to go. ”

Han Jian thought to himself, it's already good that Yang Yu was kidnapped and didn't depend on me, and now that people are rescued, I still have a share of the celebration banquet?

Han Jian smiled and said, "I think I'm still avoiding suspicion and won't go." ”

"How is this possible?" Yang Xi said, "My sister heard that you have some misunderstanding with my third brother, and I also figured out that Guò made peace with this banquet." In fact, my sister is also a good person, you are a very good person, and my third brother is also an easy person to get along with. Also, this banquet will also invite the envoy of the Qi Dynasty, that is, Zhu Tongjing, who will also be present. ”

Han Jian said: "The people of Nanqi haven't left yet? ”

Yang Xi shook his head and said, "There was a bit of a turmoil at the banquet last time, and then the Qi Dynasty said that they were leaving, but they didn't leave for a long time. My sister doesn't seem to be in a hurry to send them away, but I don't quite understand why. So Brother Han, you go and take a look, you can see and understand some things, this...... I still can't ......"

Yang Xi is self-aware, he knows that his political acumen is not high, so letting Han Jian go to the banquet also means to help him solve his doubts.

Han Jian knew before that the people of the Southern Qi Dynasty should come to the Wei Dynasty for peace talks. The empress attached so much importance to the peace talks, and she must have wanted to stabilize the situation in the south so that she could have a showdown with the king of the west and the king. If the empress does not handle the relationship between Wei and Qi well, she rashly tears her face with the king of the west and the king of the north, and the court is likely to fall into a situation where it is embattled.

Han Jian understood this section, and he had an idea of what to say and do at the banquet.

"Okay, if His Majesty invites me then, then I'll go with you." Han Jian said casually.

As he was talking, Huang Lie, who would drift when he walked with infinite scenery, came late, and came upstairs alone. At this time, Huang Lie really seems to be a big Dengke and a small Dengke, and he is full of ambition in life. It's just that smile makes Han Jian feel very obscene.

"Huang Gongzi, you are here." Sima Yi stepped forward with a smile, "If you don't come again, we don't know if we should start the banquet, it's really worrying." ”

Huang Lie couldn't hear Sima Yi lamenting the problem of no one settling the bill, and said with a smile: "Today's business is very busy, so I'm late, forgive me." Please sit down and eat whatever you want, just order. ”

Han Jian glanced at Huang Lie, and said in his heart that even this kid has learned to play an official tone?

"Brother Huang, didn't you mean to entertain guests, how can you ...... Don't see guests? Han Jian asked.

"Isn't that you?" Huang Lie sat down and said with some emotion, "You also know, I didn't have any friends when I first came to Luoyang, so it's rare to be so happy this time, but after thinking about it, I can only invite a few people to come over for a banquet." I didn't expect a few of them to come, it's really an honor, an honor. ”

Han Jian didn't say anything anymore, he could hear it, Huang Lie got a big credit, and he had nowhere to show it, so he had to show his face in front of them.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Then we don't have to save money for Huang Gongzi." Shopkeeper available? ”

Sima borrowed this shout, and there was a sound of footsteps on the other side of the stairs, and Lin Xiaoshu, the newly appointed treasurer of Qingxu Yashe, hurriedly went upstairs. Although she is now in charge of a large restaurant, she is still wearing the same clothes as when she came, except for a hat that looks like a chef's hat and an apron around her waist, as if she has just come out of the kitchen.

"A few ......" Seeing Han Jian, Yang Xi and the others looking at her, Lin Xiaoshu was still a little shy, but she quickly adapted to her new identity, "I don't know what kind of banquet dishes to serve?" ”

Huang Lie looked surprised and said, "When did Qingxu Yashe change the shopkeeper?" ”

Sima Yu didn't say anything, and said aloud directly: "Of course, it's the belly of the abalone ginseng, as for the wine, it also needs the best aged flower carving, in short, it is not expensive, don't serve it on the table, our Huang Dagongzi has a treat, naturally it can't be too shabby." ”

Sima used these words to attract the sideways glances of all the guests upstairs, and it was rare for people to come to Qingxu Yashe to eat like this.

Lin Xiaoshu was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she was a little dizzy this morning, and she was also familiar with the daily operation of the kitchen and Qingxu Yashe, and she was very busy. Now Sima Yi doesn't talk about the specific dishes, but directly says what "abalone ginseng winged belly", where has her tea stall sold these things, and the specific dishes with bells and whistles, like "flowers bloom rich" and the like, which one has "abalone ginseng winged belly", she hasn't completely figured it out.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoshu was a little stunned, Han Jian stepped forward to relieve the siege and said, "Just pick some good dishes and try to serve them as much as possible." In addition, you don't need to take care of everything upstairs, just let the guys below do it. ”

"Hmm." Lin Xiaoshu glanced at Han Jian gratefully and said, "Wait a minute, the little woman will ask someone to serve the food." ”

Sima said: "Before serving, bring the wine up, and this small plate, how can it be served." ”

Lin Xiaoshu didn't quite understand this, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "That'...... Hold on. ”

When Lin Xiaoshu went downstairs, Han Jian caught a glimpse of her wiping her sweat with an apron, which showed that she was indeed feeling pressure. Sima Yu knew this well, and the invitation he made was not excessive, and if she met those difficult guests, it would be enough for her to have a headache for a girl's family.

When the men have put on the wine jar and all kinds of small plates, the feast will officially begin. Huang Lie was in high spirits and had to toast a few people.

After three rounds of drinking, Han Jian asked, "Yesterday you made a meritorious service, but Your Majesty rewarded you?" ”

"Said there would be...... But what is it yet? Huang Lie lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I guess the emperor will send me an errand to guard the safety of Luoyang or something......

Yang Xi listened to a serious book, and Han Jian turned a deaf ear, this Huang Lie felt too good about himself. It's just to go to the government to report the news and help save people by the way, so that you can "defend Gyeonggi"?

Sima Yi said with a wicked smile: "Then I have to toast General Huang of the Twelve Guards General in the future." In the future, when General Huang is famous, don't forget about our small roles. ”

Huang Lie had a few cups of yellow soup in his stomach, and people were already fluttering, and when he heard Sima say this, he thought it was a word of praise.

"Where, where I will come out in the future, I will not forget you. Come, drink this cup to its heart's content. ”

Huang Lie was talking, when he suddenly heard a very strong sound of breaking the sky, and a small arrow shot out. Han Jian took a step back, and saw that the wine glass in Huang Lie's hand was shot by a small arrow, and the wine glass fell to the ground, "Wow!" "The ground shattered a piece of porcelain. The direction of the small arrow was also deflected, and it was inserted directly into a wooden pillar on the second floor.

"Oops, did I drink too much, why didn't I even hold the cup steadily?" Huang Lie didn't know what was going on.
