For this banquet, Shen Mu had to go, he didn't know much about Zhang Xian, the king of Yu, but he knew that this kid could do anything, not to mention that this was still the capital. As Zhang Xian, he can kidnap himself to the banquet.

It is difficult to deduce the mind of a child with common sense.

Just go, if you really don't go, it's a big deal.

Wanqing heard Shen Mu respond to this, and was overjoyed, as if she had won a big prize, and as if she had completed a big task. The whole person almost danced happily, and happily led a group of officers and soldiers back.

After sending Wanqing away, he saw Duan Chao rushing over from the crowd.

"Brother, brother, I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess has also come to look for you? Tell me quickly, is our princess Yunzhao as beautiful as a fairy? I said that you are too unrighteous, knowing that the princess is going to come here, and last night he took me drunk and sent me back to the house...... What kind of heart do you have...... It's a good thing, you can't eat alone!"

Duan Chao chattered, like a fast-talking matchmaker, grinding her upper lip and her lower lip, talking nonsense for a while.

Shen Mu was very helpless, looking at a group of onlookers along the street pointing and discussing, thinking that he was afraid that he would become the protagonist of the story of the poor scholar who "climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix" in the nearby streets and alleys.

Shen Mu pulled Duan Chao back to the inn, found a corner wine table and sat down first.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly cooked tea and wine, grabbed a lot of snacks and pastries, and instructed the kitchen to prepare good dishes and send them to Shen Mu one by one.

With that courteous appearance, he couldn't wait to kneel on the ground and shout "master" to Shen Mu.

Duan Chao sat at the table, still unsatisfied, took Shen Mu's arm and said excitedly: "Brother Shen, tell the elder brother well, what is the princess like? Brother do you have any ideas...... Don't worry, as long as the brother says a word, he will be the eldest brother's head and spill his blood, and he will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up!"

Mu Shen sighed: "Master Duan, look what you said, this is the capital, how can you make a royal joke, be careful of being listened to by the government people, and arrest you and put you in prison." ”

Duan Chao's face turned pale: "This ...... This...... Not really. As he spoke, he looked left and right, lest there was a catcher and an official army by his side.

Shen Mu looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, tease you." How can the government have such idle time to manage us poor people. A few days ago, when Prince Murong entered Beijing to face the saint, I happened to get acquainted with Princess Wanqing, and I was just a general acquaintance with her, not what Brother Duan thought. ”

Duan Chao suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and suddenly said with great excitement: "I won't rob you again, then again, she is our noble princess of Yunzhao, she can come here to find you, and she has a lot of friendship." Tell me, what is she looking for you?"

Shen Mu knew that he couldn't prevaricate, so he said truthfully: "Princess Wanqing is here to invite me to a banquet. ”

"Go to the banquet!" Duan Chao stood up from his chair with a startled "poof": "Everyone invites you to drink wine and eat meat, and you still say that you are a general friend, Brother Shen, when are you so oily!"

"Shopkeeper Duan!" Shen Mu raised his voice and shouted, his eyes signaled Duan Chao, and his exclamation had attracted more people to look sideways: "Sit down quickly, when did Shen Mu deceive Master Duan." Some wine can be drunk, some wine can't be drunk, do you think this wine is drunk for no reason? To tell you the truth, it is because Her Royal Highness the princess has a younger brother...... "Shen Mu told Duan Chao about the banquet held by Zhang Xian.

Duan Chao was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean that King Yu wants to worship you as a teacher, and suddenly set up a banquet to entertain him? Climb this relationship, and no one can bully our brothers in the future!"

Shen Mu sighed lightly: "Master Duan only knows one thing but doesn't know the other, how can the royal family be a place where poor players like us can frolic at will, and if we are not careful, we will provoke people's heads to the ground...... Well, I won't talk about it. Even so, it's tasteless to mention. ”

Duan Chao was a rare seriousman, and said with his head bowed: "What my brother said makes sense, they all say that the emperor is ruthless, you are a treasure when you are used, and you are a root grass when you are not needed! Brother Shen, you should make your own decision about this matter, and you will support you behind your back as a big brother." ”

Shen Mu's heart warmed, and he thanked him with gratitude.

"Why should our brothers say thank you, if it weren't for Brother Shen, I'm afraid Duan Chao would still be a soil mouse in the barren mountains now!" Duan Chao grabbed a handful of peanuts, threw them in his mouth, chewed for a moment and continued: "By the way, I'll tell you a serious matter, I'll ...... I want to go into the inner city and see, is there any way?"

Shen Mu frowned: "What is the eldest brother doing when he enters the Nine Cities? There are all high-ranking officials and nobles, the center of the imperial court, and there is no place to admire the moon in the autumn wind!"

"I finally entered and returned to Beijing, and I couldn't see what the gate of the imperial city was like, which was really a regret in my life, so I wanted to enter the nine cities, see what the palace of the emperor and saint looked like from afar, and rush back to advocate with my brothers. Duan Chao poured a glass of wine, and was about to drink it as he spoke, but was held down by Shen Mu's arm.

"I just sobered up, and I want to drink ......" Shen Mu took out the Inner Nine Cities waist card given by Murong Huan from his waist and handed it to Duan Chao: "With this waist card, you can enter the Nine Cities." Remember to listen to me and don't wander around. The Inner Nine Cities are not as good as other places, but they are the most majestic places in Yunzhao!"

Regarding Duan Chao's idea of wanting to enter the Nine Cities, Shen Mu's first thought was to refuse. Jiucheng, where the center of Yunzhao is located, pick up the stick and pick it up casually, you can pick out several princes and doctors of the Three Princes and Nine Qings. With Duan Chao's reckless temperament, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not cause trouble.

But if he didn't give the waist card to Duan Chao, it was hard to guarantee that Duan Chao would think of some ideas to break into it by himself. What's more, the reason why Duan Chao asked like this was because he already knew that he had a way to enter the Nine Cities, and if he didn't give it, there would inevitably be a gap between the brothers.

People have to learn to grow. Duan Chao, as the head of the righteous qi gate, if he has been confused and does not understand the etiquette law, how can he convince the public and lead the brothers to a higher stage.

As long as you abide by the rules, Jiucheng is not a land of gods and ghosts, and there are so many officers and soldiers patrolling, there will be no problem.

In order to avoid any accidents, Shen Mu still gave thousands of instructions. provoked Duan Chao to nod again and again, grabbed the waist card, and ran out of the inn first, without any interest in other things.

Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, once she was born, and she was familiar twice!

As the big boss of the righteous valve, you can't always let yourself be worried and afraid.

Shen Mukou read the word "peace", got up alone and prepared to go back to the room to prepare.

"Ouch, guest officer! The little ones don't know Tarzan with their eyes, and they don't know if there is any neglect...... That one...... Don't take that please master to heart, this meal is a small heart...... Please ......."

Seeing that Shen Mu didn't move a single chopstick, the shopkeeper got up and left, thinking that his food was not good enough. He saw that the princess actually came to invite Shen Mu with such specifications today, and it was not easy to guess Shen Mu's identity. If you neglect this master, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for your store to maintain in the capital.

Shen Mu was startled by the shopkeeper who suddenly crashed out. Only then did I find that the table was full of all kinds of delicacies.

Shen Mu scratched his head, sighed lightly at the weakness of human nature, and said, "Shopkeeper, you're polite." It's not that the food is bad, it's just that I'm not hungry right now, and I really can't eat it. This dish is also made, so let's record it in our account, and then we will finish it together when we check out! As for these, I will ask Xiao'er to send it to the guest room to teach my friends to eat poop!"

The shopkeeper's voice should be yes, and he said again: "Although the master commanded, this meal is a small invitation, and there is no need to keep accounts." ”

Shen Mu was too lazy to take care of it, so he turned around left and right to give more rewards, so he bothered him, and the more he talked, the more chaotic he became.

In the evening, the car arranged by King Yu brought Shen Mu into the inner city.

The banquet is set up in the inner city of the "Qianli Building", this "Qianli Building" is a special restaurant used by the Ministry of Rites to entertain envoys from various countries, from the display of the room to the setting of the wine table are all in the palace specifications, and the men and the back kitchen are directly called the eunuchs and imperial chefs in the palace. In order to let the envoys of various countries can truly feel the prosperity of Yunzhao country.

The restaurant is divided into three floors, each with strict specifications.

The first floor is a place where officials above the third rank can eat, the second floor is also a place for the first rank of officials and princes and nobles to eat, and the third floor is also an exclusive place for saints to sit and entertain the corresponding envoys.

The banquet set up by King Yu is in the "Smoke and Waves Vast Hall" on the second floor.

King Yu saw Shen Mu walking up to the second floor, trotting all the way to catch up, and couldn't help complaining: "Master, you came so slowly, I thought I had encountered something bad, but I was in a hurry......"

Shen Mu frowned, there were many serving eunuchs standing in the corridor, King Yu called himself like this, but he didn't want to break his life.

"Your Highness, the last general is immoral and incompetent, you can't call it like that!"

King Yu waved his small hand and said disdainfully: "Don't get in the way...... I am the seventeenth prince, no one dares to laugh at me, and no one dares to talk about ear piercing, Master can rest assured!"

Shen Mu stared at the boy in front of him, thinking that there was a god above the three feet, and he didn't know if this kid's head was psychic, but he could know what he wanted to express, which was really terrifying!

King Yu introduced Shen Mu into the hall, and snacks and fruit plates had already been placed on the wine table.

There was no one else in the hall, and Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to see anyone else, the people around Zhang Xian were either imperial concubines or saints, at least they were also ministers of the six cabinets, so it was really difficult to talk freely about these conversations.

Since there is no one else, with more than ten years of practice written by himself, can he still deal with a six- or seven-year-old child?

Just thinking about it, but I heard a chuckle, and Princess Wanqing jumped in, dressed like the day, holding a silver plate in her hand, and the plate carried a snack like a natural rice cake.

"Mr. Shen has arrived, what a coincidence, this almond crisp has just been made, please Mr. Shen try it!"

Wanqing put the dim sum in her hand on the table, smiled slightly, and motioned for Shen Mu to taste it.
