Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Guards' Banquet
Yifeng Lou is the largest restaurant in Shengjing, with three floors, the lobby on the first floor, the private room on the second floor, the VIP room on the third floor, and the VIP room on the third floor is only open to the public by special reservation.
Shen Yu wanted to entertain a few friends from the capital, of course, he chose this restaurant under the Shen family.
Chang'an looked at the characters opposite and searched in his memory, corresponding one by one, the fifth prince Li Mingrui, the seventh prince Li Mingqi, the son of Shangshu Wei Xing, and the prince of the protector Mu Limo.
It is estimated that Shen Yu is going to have a banquet for three people, and the seventh prince Li Mingqi must have followed Lai.
Sure enough, when Shen Yu was about to toast with tea instead of wine, Li Mingqi did not agree. "Hey, brother of the Shen family, this is your Shen family's hospitality? You're not right, we drink wine, how do you drink tea? Look down on people, don't you? ……”
"Seventh brother! Don't be unreasonable! Li Mingrui immediately shouted and reprimanded, how could this Shen family be easily offended?
It is rumored that the gold and silver mountains are not as good as the South Xie Yan back to the mountains, and the winery and money village are not as good as the North Shen Duyun Village.
It is said that there are two rich people in the north and south of Tianyan Kingdom, and Yanhui Mountain in the south and Duyunzhuang in the north are the places where the two families are located.
The ancestors of Tianyan advocated the policy of enriching the people of the commercial bank, which promoted the development of the two families.
The Xie family has some ties to the royal family, and its main area of activity is in the south of Tianyan.
It is said that the Xie family originally started in Yuzhou, and later moved to Yanhui Mountain to settle down. The wild goose returned to the mountain moat fortress, and there was a tendency for a husband to be closed.
Some literati walked to the front of the wild goose back to the mountain, sighing, "Refer to the well and sit on the back and sigh." ”
Some people say that this mountain is "the ape wants to spend the sorrow and climb, and the northern wild goose flies south to this time." ”
Therefore, it is named "Yanhui Mountain", as for what mountain was called before this mountain, it has long been lost.
The Shen family is prosperous in the north, and the business district is mostly in the northern states and counties.
The most important point is that the capital of Tianyan is located in the north, and when the eldest sister of today's emperor, Princess Le Yi, and the current head of the Shen family, Shen Ye, met when they were teenagers and became very good friends, there were naturally many connections between them.
I don't know what happened to the seventh brother today, but the emperor's aunt told me when she left, and she had already explained it, why did she still commit such a crime?
While Li Mingrui was thinking, Shen Yu's face was calm and not angry, and he sat at the table and leaned forward slightly.
"Brother Li, it's Shen, isn't it. What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, but Shen's physique is different from ordinary people, and he can't drink, so please forgive him. ”
Li Mingqi suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, and muttered, "Hmph, who knows if what you said is true or false?" ”
"Seventh brother!" Li Mingrui has a headache, so he shouldn't have brought this demon king. "Brother Shen, don't blame, the seventh brother is young and has no words, please bear with me!"
"Hmph, fifth brother, I'm not wrong! This prince dares not to drink the wine! Li Mingqi was unconvinced, but a mere businessman Jia Sumin was so bold! Even the face of this prince dares to refute?
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and a few people sitting were in a dilemma, how could they be persuaded to speak? The bad temper of the Seven Princes is known throughout the Imperial City, and he doesn't speak and act in a tone at all, and he doesn't act like a prince at all, relying on the identity of the prince to do everything he wants.
This is a dead baby! Chang'an thought.
As Shen Yu's personal guard, of course, he can't stand by at this time, and he must protect the lord wholeheartedly. So he stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Highness the Seventh, please listen to the next word." ”
"Phew, who are you? Dare to claim to be below? But a minion! ”
"Then I am also a slave of the eldest young master of my family, what is the matter with His Highness! Eat your rice and drink your water? "Take a deep breath! Breathe deeply! Breathe deeply!
"Humph! Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! ”
...... "Mom, I'm afraid that hooligans are educated!"
"Zhan Le drinks, does not do anything, goes in and out of the wind, is miserable and fearful, and the doctor is uneven, why do you seek to be a lone virtuous? ! How about Feichen?! "It's not that you can drag the text, so can I! (From the Book of Songs. Lesser. Gu Feng Shi. North Mountain)
"Bold! Dare to insult the royal family! The Shen family can't rebel?! Li Mingqi didn't expect this little attendant to be so bold that he dared to contradict himself, and he couldn't help but be angry.
How can this be a crime that ordinary people can bear! Chang'an couldn't let this hat be buttoned down, his face was pale, and he said, "If you say bold, the Seventh Highness is really bold!" ”
"How bold is this prince?!"
"Oh, then dare to ask His Highness the Seventh, but His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has appointed the Seventh Highness as the crown prince? Enshrined as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
"Presumptuous! Is the will of God a speculation?! My father hasn't made a crown prince yet, and that's not because ......"
"Seventh brother! Don't talk nonsense! Li Mingrui immediately stopped, how could the royal secret be said at will, if he was not a close friend sitting today, how could he leave a handle! The seventh brother is really getting more and more out of tune.
"Then His Royal Highness the Seventh is neither the current Holy Lord nor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can he claim the identity of the Holy Lord or the Crown Prince?!"
"I didn't! …… This prince does not! You are talking nonsense! Li Mingqi's face turned red, he had just been reprimanded by the imperial brother, and he was about to be crowned with a bigger hat, and his father would never tolerate anyone who dared to openly covet the throne. If this word spreads, the fifth brother will also be affected.
"Xiao Wu, don't be presumptuous! The two highnesses are magnanimous and benevolent, and they don't have the same knowledge as you, how can you talk nonsense like this? Don't hesitate to apologize to the two Highnesses! Shen Yu suddenly put down the teacup and said with a straight face.
Hit Li Mingqi's arrogance, Chang'an didn't want to be aggressive, he was Shen Yu's attendant, but he represented Young Master Shen.
So, his face softened, and he said with sincerity, "The two highnesses also ask for forgiveness!" It's gibberish just now, and I don't know what I'm saying at all. After speaking, he bowed deeply and let him kneel and kowtow, don't think about anything.
"Your Highness the Five, Your Highness the Seventh, it was Shen who was negligent in discipline on weekdays and was too indulgent, causing the subordinates to collide with the two, please forgive me!"
Hehe, this Young Master Shen is really good to this Shen Wu, he would rather offend the powerful than keep his guards, not to be vain Shen Wu's loyalty!
Shen Yu opened his mouth at the right time, and the change in title made Li Mingrui stunned, he didn't expect Shen Yu to stand out for a little guard, he was a little disappreciative in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
At this point, at this time, I happened to come down this step, and the atmosphere was relaxed, and several people sat down one after another.
Chang'an didn't forget the purpose of his appearance, and insisted,
"It's just that the eldest young master of my family really can't drink, and he doesn't mean to slow down the two highnesses. Since His Royal Highness the Seventh is indeed unable to refrain from drinking it if he is warmly invited, how about Shen Wu willing to drink this glass of wine on behalf of my master? ”
"Hey, you little squire can take your place as your master?!" Li Mingqi just wanted to refute again, but when he saw that the fifth brother's face was pale, he hurriedly changed his words, "That's not impossible!" But you're going to drink double! ”
"What's so hard about that? You don't have to double it, just change it to a big bowl for me! "Chang'an waved his pride, you are a mortal, what is wine? Hum! Hum!! Hum!!!
When Shen Yu heard Chang'an shouting and drinking with a big bowl, he glanced sideways at his guards, but he didn't stop it, but ordered the shopkeeper of Yifeng Building to send five jars of 'not drunk', this is the Shen family's special brew, and Yifeng Lou is supplied in limited quantities.
Sure enough, when they heard 'not drunk', several people looked expectant, and the unpleasantness just now was swept away.
