Chapter 29: Before the Banquet
Han Jian and Cui Mingli went to the outside of the Wucheng Hall together, but they saw a small area of green trees, where the ministers and the people of the four kings were waiting to enter the hall, because the people from the Ministry of Rites had to verify the identities of the people who came one by one, so most people could only wait outside the hall temporarily.
Han Jian looked at it, and the few people who came said that there were one hundred and eighty, and if you count those who have already entered, there may be more.
"Wait." Cui Mingli said.
"You won't be able to get in for a while?" Han Jian asked.
"The princess of the county has informed the Ministry of Rites about the decay, and I will sit with you in a while." Cui Mingli said, his head raised slightly, because he saw the "big horse face" who spoke badly just now, and the big horse face was talking to people, and he looked at him with a surprised face.
Seeing this posture, Han Jian thought, everyone is old, why can't they think about it so much?
At this time, the day was gone, the sky was dark, Han Jian was feeling bored, and suddenly someone next to him touched his arm, Han Jian turned sideways, but it was a woman who was looking at him, Yang Li'er, the second lady of Nanwangfu.
"This young lady, it's true that you can meet you wherever you don't meet in life." Han Jian looked at Yang Li'er at this time, she was dressed in a strong suit, but she was exquisitely curved, and the leather clothes highlighted her figure just right.
Yang Li'er seemed impatient, and said directly in a questioning tone: "Ask you something, the stringless piano you gave me ......"
"Can't blow?"
"I can blow it, but ......" Yang Li'er thought that it had been stained with this person's saliva, and this person looked at her with a smile at the moment, which made her a little annoyed, "Why can't I play the tone?" ”
Han Jian smiled and said, "Miss doesn't want to be self-taught, right?" ”
Yang Li'er thought for a while, as if she understood something, and then asked, "Then where can I find a master who teaches to play the stringless piano?" ”
Han Jian also thought about it, sorted out the wording, and said: "There is only one person in the world who can play the stringless piano. ”
Yang Li'er frowned at the moment, and said slightly angrily: "You don't just say that you want to learn?" ”
"If Miss wants to learn, I don't mind teaching him, but explain in advance that there is only one stringless piano in the world, if Miss doesn't dislike the saliva......" Han Jian suddenly laughed, laughing so much that Yang Li'er wanted to kick him twice.
Yang Li'er glared at this person fiercely, and then asked, "Why are you alone, that person?" ”
One sentence made Han Jian a little confused, and Han Jian asked, "Which one is Miss talking about?" ”
Yang Li'er wanted to ask, "Your little county king", but when she took a closer look, she saw Han Jian wearing a sword and a brocade dress, and she understood.
"So you're the one! Go to hell! Yang Li'er hated in her heart, and stepped on Han Jian as she said that, Han Jian didn't react for a while, and then she was "successful" by this woman with a cloudy face, and her instep hurt for a while. Fortunately, I was wearing riding boots, otherwise my feet would have to be swollen.
"Hey, what do you mean? What, which person, that person? What exactly is being said? ”
Yang Li'er had already walked away quickly, leaving only Han Jian scratching her head: "Women are really fickle animals!" Whew, it hurts. ”
At this time, Yang Li'er, who walked quickly as if she had escaped, hurriedly walked far away before stopping, and her face was still difficult to calm down the look of anger.
"It's really a narrow road, and this time it's a big mess." Yang Li'er said, even she herself was almost crazy, and she really wanted to find a crack drill.
ran to ask what the stringless piano was, but she didn't know that it was Xiao Dong Wang, she always thought it was just a staff member or friend of Xiao Dong Wang.
Although Yang Li'er felt that this person was a little arrogant, he was quick and wise in dealing with the disputes between the East and South Princes, and he could be regarded as a talented person. But after knowing his identity, she completely changed her opinion of Han Jian.
"In the end, it's just that he's just a fool!" Yang Li'er made up her mind.
"Second sister, where did you go before, why did you come back like this?" Yang Li'er's brother Yang Yu walked over, "Father just came here with my uncle, go and see him." ”
"Hmm." Yang Li'er cleaned up her mood and left with her brother.
……
……
Although Han Jian is the guest of honor today, he has no privileges, in the palace, only the emperor has privileges, and he can only queue up to enter.
Han Jian entered the hall in a relatively backward order, and when he entered the door, he suddenly heard a cold snort from behind him, a very rich man's voice. Han Jian turned around and looked, but it was an old acquaintance who had been smashed twice by him before, Pan Fuzi.
As a famous scholar of the generation, Pan Fuzi originally came to Luoyang City just to advertise the academy of the Hedong School, but he did not expect to be smashed by Han Jian, which discredited him. He could only stay in Chang'an City temporarily, hoping to save his image through some public relations activities, and the Ministry of Rites also invited a "celebrity" like him to a banquet, and this time, he ran into Han Jian again.
Han Jian deliberately arched his hand to Pan Fuzi, as if provocative. Pan Fuzi blew his beard and stared, but he didn't have a seizure because of the occasion.
"That Mr. Pan, do you know Mr. Cui?" When he entered the door, Han Jian asked Cui Mingli.
"I don't know." Cui Mingli said, "What kind of master in the field has no name." ”
Han Jian nodded, this should be the legendary literati Xiangqing.
Ordinary guests come in and take their own number plates to find a seat, but Han Jian, as the king of Xiaodong, will have a special person from the Ministry of Etiquette to guide him to his seat. Han Jian walked to his desk only to find that the arrangement of the location of his desk was not simple.
Han Jian, as the king of Xiaodong, has a status at the end of the four kings, because in addition to him, the three kings of the southeast and north are all princes, and he is the king of the county, which does not mean that there is a difference in power, mainly because the royal family is "close and sparse", and the other three kings are all surnamed Yang. His desk, the second in the first row from the right, is next to a desk of Nanwang.
Two people sit at a desk. Yang Luochuan, the king of the south, and Huang Yicheng, the general of the southern prince's mansion, sat on the right, and Huang Yicheng was also the uncle of Huang Lie, who had a holiday with Sima Yi before.
Behind Nanwang's table, Yang Luochuan's eldest son Yang Yu and second daughter Yang Li'er, Han Jian sat on the right side of the desk, and when he looked to the right side of the back side, he could see Yang Li'er looking at him viciously.
In addition, Yang Ping, the king of the west, sits on the left. Before the king of the north came, Yang Ke, the king of the small north, sat at the table on the second side of the left.
Han Jian thought that there were geographical considerations for this arrangement, and the king of the east and the king of the south rejected the southern Qi, while the king of the west and the king of the north were closer in terms of military relations. There is another layer of relationship, Han Jian expects that it should be related to the marriage between the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu led by the current empress.
"Brother, I'll take another seat with you." When Yang Li'er saw Han Jian, she said to Yang Yu.
"Second sister, what's wrong?" Yang Yu looked up at the people who came over, and when he saw him in his clothes, he guessed that Han Jian was the king of Xiaodong. He thought of the misunderstanding between the South Wangfu and the Dongwangfu because of Huang Lie, so he seemed to understand his sister's actions.
"Hmm." Yang Yu got up and changed with his sister.
Han Jian glanced at Yang Li'er, who was changing seats, and thought, he is so terrible, do you need her to hide again and again?
Waiting for Han Jian to sit down, after a while, the guests were basically there.
There was still half an hour before the banquet officially began, and Han Jian looked at the three main tables below and guessed who would be sitting on them.
Cui Mingli explained: "The middle one is the seat of His Majesty, and the two near the oblique one are the two princes. ”
"Oh."
Han Jian nodded, wondering in his heart whether the "Yang Gongzi" he had met in the past two days would appear at one of the tables.
Han Jian looked at an empty guest table across from him again, and thought, could it be that the emperor didn't dare to come to the banquet?
"That's for the envoys of Southern Qi." Cui Mingli added.
