Chapter Twenty-Three: Being Targeted
So, after retiring from the court the next morning, Heng Xinyuan, who had never dealt with the people of Dali Temple, suddenly ushered in the overture of Wu Yong of Dali Temple. Wu greeted with a smile: "This is this year's new champion." ”
Heng Xin was far from knowing why, but he still politely replied: "In the next place, dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”
Wu Yong replied with a smile: "In Xia Wu Yong, he is currently serving in Dali Temple. ”
"Oh, colleague Wu." Heng Xinyuan stood still and gestured with his hand: "It turned out to be a member of Dali Temple, and I have not been able to go to say hello, which is rude." ”
Wu Yong shook his head: "I really admire Your Excellency's character and eloquence, so tonight I will set up a family banquet in Houhai Lake, and I hope that Your Excellency will come to participate in it, and there are a number of writers who can learn from each other." ”
Heng Xinyuan's face showed hesitation.
Wu looked at his nose and nose with his eyes, and added at this moment: "Could it be that my colleagues heard that the people in Dali Temple are relatively ruthless and don't want to have a meal with us?" ”
Heng Xinyuan waved his hand again and again when he heard this, "How dare you, besides, I have never heard that the people of Dali Temple are ruthless, only I heard that Dali Temple is a person who knows everything and is fair,"
Wu Yong was satisfied, and patted Heng Xinyuan's shoulder: "That's good, tonight on the shore of Houhai Lake, on the cruise ship!" ”
When he went back that day, Heng Xinyuan told Wan Bingyu that he was going to the banquet tonight.
When Bingyu heard this, she was not happy: "You have to secretly eat delicious food behind my back!" ”
Heng Xinyuan originally thought that Bing Yu was angry because of the singers on the cruise ship, but he didn't want it to be because of this, so he couldn't cry or laugh.
"What do you think, how can I eat in front of a group of writers who don't know the so-called heroes?
When Bing Yu heard this, he became proud again: "That's not it, you only eat when you eat with me!"
"Yes, so what do I want to eat today, so my husband will come back early in the evening and bring it to you from the night market." Heng Xinyuan touched Bingyu's head dotingly.
"Do you come back at night and pass by the night market! Then I want a walnut crisp and a serving of iced plums. Thank you! ”
Heng Xinyuan frowned slightly, and persuaded bitterly: "Bingyu, eating too many sweets at night is not good for your teeth."
Wan Bingyu pretended to be aggrieved: "But I can't see you day and night, I'm bitter!" My heart is bitter! I can only comfort myself with a sweet tooth in my mouth! ”
When Heng Xinyuan heard this reason, he was a little stunned for a while, he had never heard such a ........ such a fresh and refined reason.
But his own wife, what else can he do but spoil.
Heng Xinyuan went to the banquet as promised, I thought that this was a meal on the cruise ship where a few young people chanted poetry together, but never expected that halfway through the meal, the host Wu Yong and a few people on the banquet looked at each other, and then, a few dancing girls came on the cruise ship, all dressed in revealing clothes, showing their slender waists, with the soft dance music, Heng Xinyuan was disgusted, and planned to leave silently after the music stopped.
But I saw that the literati who were still dignified before were holding a dancing girl in one hand and a wine glass in the other at this time, and even some people had big tongues and drunk eyes and said to Heng Xinyuan, who was sitting next to him: "Heng Da Zhuangyuan is so serious, why, I can't look down on these dancing girls, if I can't look down on them, I will change them!" ”
Heng Xinyuan was disgusted, sat a little farther away quietly, and said, "I don't have this hobby in Xia. ”
"Hey, Heng Da Champion is so clear hahahaha, I don't know who to do this." One of them answered drunkenly, with contempt and sourness in his eyes.
Heng Xinyuan couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that it wouldn't be interesting to stay at this banquet, so he thought about saying goodbye to Wu Yong.
Wu Yong had been observing Heng Xinyuan, and when he saw that he was about to leave, he quickly stood up: "Brother Heng, don't be angry!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled Hengxin far away to himself.
Wu Yong poured a glass of wine for Heng Xinyuan, pulled Heng Xinyuan with one hand, and served the wine glass with the other: "Come on, Brother Heng, don't be in a hurry to go, if you don't like these dancing girls, we will withdraw these things." ‘’
Heng Xinyuan said: "I really don't like these things, but it's okay, it's just that it's getting late now, if there's nothing to do, I'll leave first." ‘’
Wu Yong said: "Don't don't, Brother Heng, in fact, I invited you over today because I have something to tell you." ”
"Oh? Tell me anything. ”
Wu Yong leaned over and said: "I admire Xinyuan's talent very much, and your courage to defy power, our court needs talents like you, talented, responsible, and actively forge ahead!" ”
Heng Xinyuan was silent, and he didn't know what Wu Yong's intention was to suddenly praise himself, so he said unhurriedly: "You have won the prize." This is what a courtier should do. ‘’
Wu Yong smiled with a smile on his face: "Hey, Brother Heng, don't be so modest, young and promising, everyone can see it." ’’
Heng Xin was impatient, and went straight to the point: "I don't know what the purpose of the adults invited me to come today?"
Wu Yong said with a smile: "Before, Brother Heng expressed his opinion on the small quarrel between the thirteenth prince and the sixteenth prince in the court, I am very curious about this, I don't know what position Brother Heng is from to express his opinion?" ‘’
Heng Xinyuan really felt a little annoyed, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Oh? I wonder what adults think about this? ‘’
Wu Yong didn't think twice: "Isn't this just a joke between children?" If you want me to say, Concubine Wu is too pampered and arrogant, and day by day, she has to make the court miserable with trivial things. ‘’
Heng Xinyuan sneered in his heart: Since this Wu Yong has such an attitude, then he probably knows what he is going to do today.
I only heard Wu Yong continue: "I wonder if Brother Heng also thinks the same way?" ”
Heng Xin was far from being humble or arrogant, nor did he respond positively to Wu Yong's words: "I just feel that the Thirteen Princes have been punished, and it will not be good for everyone to make trouble any longer, so I stopped it, if there is any offense, please forgive me." ”
Wu Yong waved his hand: "Hey, Brother Heng, what are you talking about, no one is offended, we all think that you are good and happy." ”
Wu Yong looked at Heng Xinyuan with eager eyes, and asked straight to the point: "Brother Heng, what is your opinion on the situation between the DPRK and China?" ”
Heng Xinyuan sneered again and again in his heart: "I only know the whole world, it is not the loess, the Lu of eating the king, and the matter of loyalty to the king, but I don't know what the situation between the DPRK and China is." ‘’
Wu Yong was choked for a moment, thinking that he hadn't made it clear yet, so he would make persistent efforts and make it clearer: "Don't hide it, I'm here to be a lobbyist today." ‘’
As he spoke, he looked at Heng Xinyuan, expecting his reaction.
Unexpectedly, Heng Xinyuan still had that motionless face.
Wu Yong could only pick up his own words: ", His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard your performance in the court, and admired you very much, His Royal Highness has always been a person who cherishes talents, but he is afraid that he will rashly find you and surprise you, so he sent me to invite you, and it just so happened that he also had the intention of befriending you, so he set up this banquet tonight. ‘’
