Chapter 622 Full of Famous Persons
This night in Cao Yin's room for a long time, but also from Cao Yin's mouth to learn a lot of Qingguo royal secrets, by the time Han Mo left Cao Yin's room, it was already the middle of the moon. ()
After returning to the house, Han Mo practiced the "Qi Sutra" again, and then blew the lamp to rest.
The next day, the whole mission did not move, and most of the people were still tired after nearly a month's long journey, so on this day, except for the soldiers in charge of the escort affairs, everyone else continued to rest.
Liu Shan, the secretary of Honglu Temple, came here early in the morning to ask for warmth, and even brought people to send a large amount of food and wine, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo will be in Uncle Guo's Mansion tonight to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Hou, General Han and Lord Song, and I will send a car to greet him at that time!" β
At dusk, before it was getting late, Uncle Lu Shangde sent three carriages over, which was to pick up a few people to go to the Uncle's Mansion to attend the reception banquet.
Just looking at the posture of these three carriages, it is extremely luxurious.
Han Mo originally wanted to stay in the royal palace to garrison, but Liu Shan persuaded with a smile: "General Han, Uncle Han held a reception banquet in Uncle Guo's mansion, this is also the will of the saint, if General Han does not go, it will not be good for Uncle Han to reply to the saint, but it will not be good." β
Cao Yin also knew that this was a proper gift, the other party was going to hold a reception banquet, and his own side did want to participate in the reception banquet, which was also mutual respect.
For Qingguo, a country full of red tape, it attaches great importance to the procedures of various etiquettes, if Yan Guo is a little negligent, he will be caught by the other party and say something, so he signaled Han Mo not to insist and go together.
The intersections of this royal palace have been sealed by the Shangjing garrison camp under Yun Canglan, and there are royal forest warriors guarding inside and outside the courtyard, even if the princess lives, there are hidden dark officials in the West Flower Hall, and the entire guard affairs are extremely thorough, in fact, there will not be too big a basket.
Han Mo secretly ordered Xiao Mu and Red Sleeves to do a good job of guarding at the moment, and even instructed Xiao Mu to take care of Qin Si, the envoy of the An Army, and not to make a mistake.
After everything was explained, twenty royal cavalry guards were dispatched to escort the carriage to the uncle's mansion.
In Han Mo's opinion, it is really troublesome for people to visit relatives and friends in the capital, because the capital is too large, if the location is a little far, then they have to travel for a long time.
From the royal palace to the uncle's mansion, but the road is not close.
In order to avoid crowds, several carriages are selected to walk on relatively remote streets, but these so-called remote streets, although they are not crowded, are also full of traffic, there are many pedestrians, and there are many pavilions on both sides.
Looking at the pedestrians passing by the roadside, as well as the rows of houses and pavilions, it is not boring.
I don't know how long it took, but the three carriages turned into a long and clean street, which was rarely visited, and on both sides were planted with tall trees, the shade of which was luxuriant, and the wind blew through it, revealing a refreshing coolness.
After walking for a while, the carriage finally stopped in front of a mansion, someone had already stepped forward to lift the curtain, Han Mo grabbed the saber beside him, held it in his hand, and got out of the sedan chair.
When he came to the banquet today, he didn't wear armor, but just a white brocade robe, and inside he was wearing the black silk armor given by the old lady of the Fan family, which looked very natural.
However, he still carried a saber with him, and without hesitation, he got out of the carriage with it in his hand and hung it on his waist.
In front of Uncle Guo's mansion, there were already a large number of Qingguo officials gathered, and Han Mo's eyes did not immediately focus on this group of officials, but glanced at the mansion in front of him.
This is an extremely luxurious mansion, tall and big faΓ§ade, the heavy door has been opened, the door is inscribed with "Uncle Guo's Mansion" four gold lacquer characters, in front of the door, there are two big lions made of white jade, open teeth and claws, lifelike, imposing.
Han Mo only saw these two big lions, and he knew the degree of luxury of Uncle Guo.
Generally speaking, there are two lions placed in front of some mansions, one is to strengthen the faΓ§ade, and the other is also to ward off evil spirits, but most of them are carved from stone, and they are all stone lions.
But what appeared in front of him at this time were two jade lions carved from white jade.
There are two jade lions in front of the house, which are indeed very eye-catching, but they are also extravagant.
Uncle Lu Shangde was standing in front of the mansion at this time, followed by a large group of people, some of them were wearing official uniforms, but some of them were wearing brocade robes, many people saw Han Mo get out of the carriage and actually hung a knife in his hand on his waist, and suddenly changed color, some people showed anger, and some people showed disdain.
A light flashed in Lu Shangde's eyes, but his face was full of smiles, and when he saw Cao Yin get down from the carriage, he stepped forward quickly, and arched his hand: "Master Hou, you are here, and you are shining!" β
Cao Yin arched his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo is too modest, your mansion is splendid, it can't be called Pengsheng!" β
Lu Shangde laughed and said, "Master Hou is too famous. Then he bowed his hand to Han Mo and said, "General Han, it's been a long time!" β
Han Mo also saluted: "Uncle Lao Guo has been waiting for a long time. β
At this moment, I heard a yin and yang strange tone behind Uncle Guo: "Deputy Envoy Han, Uncle Han held a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for your Yan envoy, but Deputy Envoy Han came with a sword, isn't it too rude?" β
Han Mo smiled and said: "It's not that Han Mo is rude, it's just that it's his duty, and he doesn't dare to slack off." Ben will come this time, as a deputy envoy, to protect the safety of the princess and the marquis, so you must be cautious every moment of the day! β
Immediately, someone sneered: "What does Vice Envoy Han mean by this, don't you think that Uncle Guo's Mansion is not safe?" β
Han Mo's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "Han Mo didn't say that. Uncle Guo's mansion is naturally safe, but Han Mo was favored by our emperor and served as the deputy envoy of the mission, so before Han Mo left Beijing, he swore to this knife, the knife will not leave his body, and the person will not leave the knife, and the safety of the Hou Ye is always the most important. If everything is safe, it is naturally excellent, if there is an accident, Han Mo will naturally fight for his life, and he will also protect Hou Ye's thoughtfulness! β
"Deputy Envoy Han, do you know that since the construction of the Uncle Mansion, no one has been able to enter the mansion with weapons!" An official with a goatee beside Uncle Guo said coldly: "This official advises you to hand over the weapon to your subordinates, otherwise you will ......!" β
"How else?" Han Mo did not show weakness: "What does this adult mean, does it mean that if the general does not untie the saber, he will not be able to enter the mansion?" β
The man didn't answer, but snorted coldly.
For a while, everyone in Qingguo was talking to each other, and most of them showed dissatisfaction.
Cao Yin finally smiled and said: "You may not know that our Deputy Envoy Han is stubborn, and there are some things that even this king will not persuade. But then again, the rule that the Imperial Guards never leave their swords is a fact! β
"This is Qingguo, not your Yan Kingdom." Immediately someone shouted: "When you arrive in my Daqing country, you have to abide by the rules of my Daqing country!" β
For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate in front of the door because of the saber incident.
After that, he just smiled faintly and didn't speak, but finally raised his hand at this time, signaled everyone not to fight anymore, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, why argue?" Xiang Han Mo said: "Deputy Envoy Han is a young hero, and entering the mansion with a sword has made me see the heroic spirit of Deputy Envoy Han." Come on, Master Hou, Deputy Envoy Han, the feast is ready, please enter the house and talk about the wine! β
actually stepped forward, took Cao Yin's hand affectionately, and entered the house together.
Everyone said this when they saw it, and it was not easy to fight anymore, but many people ignored Han Mo and only felt that this young man was too rude.
Han Mo saw that Uncle Guo was showing such a generous spirit, but he frowned slightly, since he saw this person, from beginning to end, this person has shown enthusiasm and generosity, and he is very gentlemanly.
Such a character, on the contrary, is more difficult to deal with.
A group of people entered the house, went to the middle hall, saw along the way, pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, rockery jade, the layout is scattered, graceful and generous, but also lit countless lanterns, the whole uncle's mansion is as bright as day, it is also beautiful and abnormal.
Han Mo saw it, but he knew in his heart that the luxurious style of this uncle's mansion, Yan Guo was afraid that no mansion could be compared.
After a while, the group finally arrived at the middle hall of Uncle Deguo's mansion, and as soon as they entered the hall, they felt that the atmosphere was wide and the space was huge, which was several times wider than a general living room, and the top was much higher.
Both sides are already full of desks, ancient wood and ancient fragrance, it is also full of melons and fruits, there are two rows of desks on each side, four rows of desks add up, there are actually forty or fifty seats, next to each seat, there is a maid kneeling, forty-five maids are all a water-white light gauze thin skirt, combing a fallen horse bun, delicate and sweet, fair skin, just like dozens of dazzling pearls dotted in the middle hall, seeing everyone come in, these maids are leaning forward, hands on the ground, extremely soft.
In addition, there were a lot of jade barrels made of white jade in various places in the hall, Han Mo passed by a jade bucket, but he saw ice cubes in the jade bucket, no wonder as soon as he entered the hall, it made people feel extremely cool.
I have to say that the luxury of Qingguo people far exceeds that of Yanguo!
The main seat actually set up two tables, one left and one right, Uncle Guo took Cao Yin's hand and arranged to sit down on the left side of the main seat, Han Mo was arranged to be the chief on the left, and Song Shiqing, the waiter of the Yan State Rite Department, sat on the left for the first time.
When Uncle Guo sat down on the right side of the main seat, all the officials sat down one after another, and many people who did not wear official uniforms in brocade robes, some of them actually sat at the head of the Qingguo officials, and the Qingguo officials did not seem to mind.
Han Mo was guessing the identities of these people, and Uncle Guo had already introduced with a smile: "Master Hou, Deputy Envoy Han, in addition to the officials of my Daqing ministry, there are also these famous people of my Qingguo, who are brilliant in literature and knowledgeable from the past and the present. Today's reception banquet, these gentlemen and gentlemen are indispensable to offer some poems and famous sentences, which will surely add color to the full house! β
A faint smile slipped across the corners of Han Mo's mouth.
Suddenly, he thought of a sentence: "Celebrities and gentlemen walk all over the ground like dogs!" β
He swept his eyes over the officials and so-called celebrities on the opposite side, only to see that many people actually looked at the bodies of those maids, and some of the so-called celebrities stroked their beards, seemingly calm, but their eyes also swept to the girls' bodies.
It's just that Han Mo didn't care about the appearance of these people, but he found that after everyone was seated, there were two tables vacant from the first row on the side.
Those two tables are the chief and second seats on the right side!
Han Mo frowned, today's banquet, naturally he would not deliberately put out empty seats, there must be people arranged in these two positions, but why didn't anyone sit for a long time?
