Chapter 42: Anger and Anger

"Thank you King Wei for your hospitality, and I will take my leave."

"The Tao is different, it is difficult to get along, say goodbye."

"Farewell"

"Everyone, please stay, listen to Du's words, please stay."

"Lord Du doesn't need to explain, Lord Qi has already said it very clearly, I will wait for Your Majesty to meet tomorrow morning, and then see the decision."

When it was, half of the guests got up and left the table, Du Chuke hurriedly came forward with a few Wei Wangfu to persuade him to stay, and let a group of guards block the exit and not let him leave, the scene was extremely chaotic, where was there still a little bit of wine and joy.

In comparison, the main banquet was much quieter, Pingyang poured himself another glass of wine, leaning on the cushion and looking half-drunk and half-awake, Yu Shinan was only dazzled, Gao Zhixian went to the eldest grandson Wuji and whispered in his ear, Fang Qiao held a wine glass, looked at the chaotic crowd in the distance, and finally fixed on the body of the jade who was still standing on the spot and watching, on the middle-aged and elegant face, there was an obvious melancholy for a moment, I don't know why.

Because of Qi Zhong's humiliation and Li Tai, Yu was displeased, and was wronged for Li Tai, others don't know, but she knows that this "Kun Yuanlu" is already a utilitarian work in a very different history, which involves a wide range of knowledge, unprecedented, not counting the year they were separated, the first year of travel, Li Tai did not forget to study the volume collected on the way, often in the dead of night, but also in the palm of the lamp to send letters to various places, so as not to make mistakes, this man started to do things seriously, even Ziyun diligent she will be ashamed of herself.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Li Tai, who was sitting in the same place without moving, and tried to see something on his face, but to no avail, she opened her mouth and whispered tentatively:

"Your Highness, how should this be?"

Cruising line, approximate itinerary, use, the jade knows, but the specific cost, whether there is a greasy one, but the jade does not know. But a wealthy gentleman like Lu Zhongzhi, who has been operating for several generations and has worked hard for most of his life, has saved up the cash, and the three families have divided it, and one is only tens of thousands of taels.

In her opinion, this backbone Qi Zhongen is a deliberate picker, let it go like this, once tonight passes, Li Tai's reputation will definitely plummet, and the people will lose money, this is not a joke, in history, anyone who has this reputation will be stinking for thousands of years.

In Yi Yu's worried gaze, Li Tai raised his hand to support the corner of his forehead, closed his eyes, and replied softly:

"He's telling the truth."

Huan Yu was harsh by Mrs. Zhou for a year, and at this time, he couldn't help but have an ugly expression on his face, 40,000 taels, and it really cost 40,000 taels to lose the family, and he still sat like this, and he answered.

Li Tai's words fell, Pingyang narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "It turns out that in the past two years, the internal affairs of the big surplus treasury has spent a large amount of money without indicating the way, and it is used for this, 40,000 yuan... I'm afraid it's more than that. ”

The voice of these words was neither high nor low, just let Yi Yu hear it alone, and Li Tai did not say anything, which proves that Pingyang is telling the truth, 40,000, the treasury expenditure, is more than this amount

"Fourth brother, what Lord Qi said is true?" Changsun Xi came over at some point, accompanied by Gao Yang, and asked a little nervously.

Gao Yang sat down beside Li Tai and said in disbelief: "This stroke is too big, did his father really give you so much money?" ”

Li Tai opened his eyes, did not look at Gao Yang, but swept the complicated gaze of the relict jade, turned to the noisy people at the entrance of the hall, picked up the wine glass in his hand, paused on the case, and made a knock, attracting the attention of the surroundings.

"Bang"

"No need to stop, let them go."

Everyone was stunned, and Du Chuke, who was sweating in a hurry, hissed and shouted: "Your Highness, if you don't make this matter clear, he will be discredited in the future."

He shouted like this, and Qi Zhongen, who took the lead, also said in a loud voice: "You and leave with Qi, and after tomorrow, the Wei King Li Taizhi will be exposed."

The guards had dispersed because of Li Tai's order, and when the half of the guests who were about to leave had reached the door, they retreated one by one, and many people in the banquet got up, hesitating whether to leave.

No, no, Yi Yu looked at Li Tai who stroked his forehead and closed his eyes again, his mind was in a hurry, and he was about to speak, opening his mouth, but he was preempted-

"Everyone, slow down, everyone stay"

The voice was not loud, but it successfully held the footsteps of everyone leaving, and Yi Yu turned his head, and saw Changsun Xi hurriedly walking forward, and said in a voice like her singing voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the time being, regardless of whether what Lord Qi said is false or true, but you only listen to one side of the word, and then make a conclusion, it is really a bit reckless, I also participated in the revision of "Kun Yuanlu", it is not easy to repair the book, I believe, there must be some difficulties in this that we don't know, it is better to listen to His Highness's explanation, okay?"

The eldest grandson Xijiao's beautiful face has a begging color, and anyone who sees it will be soft-hearted, not to mention that everyone left, half of it was because of anger, half because of anger, and everyone hesitated, and some people paused, and said:

"His Royal Highness King Wei, since Miss Eldest Sun has spoken, then please explain."

Qi Zhongen drank again: "Extravagant spending money, working hard and hurting money, compiling miscellaneous books on the side, what can be explained is nothing but quibble." ”

"This—" Everyone hesitated on both sides, and when they heard the temple, another high voice was raised:

"What is a side door miscellaneous book?" Seeing that his gaze had shifted, Yi Yu took two steps forward, stood beside Changsun Xi, looked at Qi Zhongen with a serious face, and said again:

"Dare to ask Lord Qi, what is a side door miscellaneous book?"

Qi Zhongen didn't think about it, with a slight disdain on his face, and said: "That is, it is a side door, not a work of the general stream, throughout the ages, it can be called a master, the small is self-cultivation, and the big is to govern the country and level the world, but this "Kun Yuanlu" is the orthodoxy of which door, the excerpt of the chapter, in addition to geology, is mostly local mythology, goosebump trivialities, how can everyone cater to the favor, it is called a masterpiece, ridiculous"

Hearing the ridicule, the guests had different faces, and they only felt that what he said was justified and well-founded, so at a glance, "Kun Yuanlu" is really a miscellaneous book circulated between the same market, and it should be attributed to the side door.

"Miss Lu," Eldest Sun Xi stretched out his hand and tugged at the remaining jade, blaming her for causing trouble, and her beautiful eyes were full of disapproval, "Listen to His Highness, okay?" ”

Yi Yu gently pulled the sleeve out of her hand, took a few steps forward, put her hands behind her back, and suddenly changed her words and asked Qi Zhongen:

"Lord Qi, can you tell me where your mansion is in the capital?"

"Ask what this is about." Qi Zhongen heard the voice of Kun Yuanlu questioning Kun Yuanlu in a low voice around him, and he was not in a hurry to leave.

"I'll buy it first, but you don't dare to answer?"

Qi Zhongen snorted lightly, confident that he had the upper hand, not afraid of what tricks she would play, and said: "Why don't you dare, Qi's mansion is in Detongshanfang, Suzaku West Third Street." ”

"How much land?"

"Qi's family is poor, and the house is less than one acre."

"How many years was it built?"

"It was built in the second year of Zhenguan."

"How many are there?"

"Four."

"Is there a tree in front of the door?"

"Yes."

"What kind of tree?"

Qi Zhongen was a little impatient by her series of questions, and saw that she asked more and more details, so he said: "You have something to say, just ask the east and the west, but why?"

"Oh," Yi Yu dragged out a long tone, waved his hand and smiled, squinted at him, and said sarcastically: "It's just curiosity, I just have such a tired temperament that I can't even remember the door, but now it seems that Lord Qi is still quite familiar with his mansion, and he won't wait to go back and can't touch the door and sleep on the side of the road." ”

was ridiculed by the little woman who was only half of his age, Qi Zhongen's heart was furious, and said: "Miss Lu is fooling me, her own house, no matter how familiar she is, she is a fool."

"Snort, hehe," after Yi Yu sneered, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky in the sight of everyone's doubts, and continued to sarcastically: "There are frogs in the well, mosquitoes and flies for food, looking up at the sky, is the size of the well, only laughing at the narrow sky, stealing to be happy, just like a person who only knows the house, but does not know the affairs of the world, short-sighted, but dare to croak, block the wise man who has the heart to observe the sky, humiliate the capable person who helps others to observe the sky, you just cry out for sorrow and pain, but you are really a shameful and hateful person"

This scolding made everyone stunned, and they didn't turn around from Yi Yu's words, but they felt that what she said made sense.

"You, you insult me as a frog" But all literati must have arrogance, especially individual people with a biased temperament, how can they be self-controlled, Qi Zhongen's expression was stiff for a moment, and then he said angrily.

"I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong," he was angry, but Yu Yu calmed down, shook his head seriously, and said, "To say that you are a frog is to be ashamed of that white thing." ”

"Haha" Someone in the seat laughed out loud, regardless of the laughter of three seven twenty-one, it soon became infected, the atmosphere of the banquet was so strangely divided into two pieces, and those who were still present all had a good look of watching the show, and those who were standing there to leave, they all hesitated, looked at Qi Zhongen, who was gritting his teeth in anger, and then looked at Li Tai, who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai with a clean face, and felt that his previous actions were reckless.

This kind of change, in the eyes of a few people, is not so ordinary, the eldest grandson Xi wanted to speak and stopped interjecting, Pingyang sat up straight, his face seemed to be sobering up with interest, Yu Shinan also took a glass of wine and leaned forward with squinting his dim eyes as if to see a little more clearly. Du Chuke wiped a handful of sweat, and when he looked at the jade again, his eyes were different from before. On the right side of the banquet, there was a figure who had been standing since the beginning of the party, and after glancing at the main banquet, he sat back again.

As for Li Tai, when he lowered his head to drink, he used the wine bottle to cover up and lightly hooked the corners of his lips.

"You-clever words are so nonsense, it's just a huge amount of money to cover up the parade, don't be fooled by her" Qi Zhongen's reaction was not too slow, and his anger did not subside, so he first relieved himself and stretched out his hand to point at the Yu Dao, but only then did he remember that the limelight had changed, and everyone was dissipated, was it too late?

"Lord Qi," Yi Yuming's eyes widened, his red lips and white teeth attracted people's attention, his slender ten fingers stretched out, and he gently calculated, blurted out smartly, and said:

"I am also a person who accompanies the parade, as far as I have personally experienced, when I go out, a person can only eat ten taels of grain a day, three hundred yuan a month, less than four taels of silver a year, and count the trip, it is thousands, and count them all outside for a year and eight months, and count the lodging and miscellaneous food consumption, twenty months down, the cost of twelve thousand taels, and then deduct the three five thousand silver that the men have generously made up for the leakage, and when it is full, it is less than eight thousand——"

As she spoke, her face suddenly turned pale, became stern, and she took another step forward, bent down to pick up something from Qi Zhongen's regular clothes that she had just taken off on the ground, and threw it at him, her voice suddenly raised:

"Where did you go to calculate the 40,000 yuan for me, when you traveled far away, you were exposed to the wind and sun, day and night, and worked tirelessly to collect chronicles from all over the world, but just like you, you go to Hongyue Tower every day, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, Lord Qi?"

Everyone looked back dumbly, and saw that Qi Zhongen, who was pale, bounced off the thing that fell to the ground, and was dumbfounded, that is not a brand of Hongyue Building's frequent customers, what is it?

"Master Qi, you, why do you want to fool us and others"

"Thou knowest thou that thou hast fallen into unrighteousness among all"

"What are your intentions?"

"Everyone, everyone, listen to me." Qi Zhongen hurriedly waved his hand, wanting to justify, but the more he talked, the more angry the crowd became, how could they listen to his quibbles.

Yi Yu watched the guests who left the table surround Qi Zhongen, who was embarrassed, and only then did she hear the anger and discomfort of the other party's insult to Li Tai to be relieved, on the surface she was fine, but there was some sweat behind her, and a gust of wind blew, so she shuddered, and when she hugged her arms with both hands, she suddenly surrounded by a heat source behind her.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, we have been deceived by others, and we have only done inappropriate acts before, please forgive us."

"However, "Kun Yuanlu" is a huge work, as Miss Lu said, it not only has the ability to help people see the world, but also how can things outside the body be measured."

"Your Highness forgives your sins."

She looked sideways along the big hand that wrapped the cloak around her shoulder, and saw Li Tai's face that had not changed for thousands of years, and when she looked at everyone, there was an extra layer of frost, and her voice was cold:

"When writing a book, what you get is far better than what you get, and this king has a clear conscience - come and send off"

Drop-off

It's not that he is sophisticated and sleek when he sees it, but this strong attitude makes people blush and feel guilty, Du Chuke saw Li Tai's face was not good at this time, coughed twice, and did not go to the round, but stretched out his fingers and transferred the palace people to send these people who listened to the wind and rain to leave, and Qi Zhongen saw that the situation was like this, so he took advantage of the crowd to leave.

"I'm sorry to disturb you," Du Chuke raised his hand and waved it on all sides, and said with a smile: "Let's continue the wine banquet, come to someone—and bring good wine."

With an order, at the two corners of the open-air hall, two maids each stepped out, one of them stepped forward with a red-skinned wine jar in his hand, and made Du Chuke frown, but Yi Yu clapped his hands twice, and smiled to attract the attention of the guests of the half-banquet, pointed to the jar, and said softly:

"When His Royal Highness was out on a parade, he killed a giant python, took the snake gall out, added medicinal wine, and brewed it into this superb snake gall wine, which has a lot of effects, but the amount is too small, fortunately, there are few people here, everyone can drink one more glass."
