The fiftieth birthday of the king can be described as a huge momentum.

People with heads and faces near Yuzhou came to the banquet.

When Ning Shu followed Xie Yunyan to the banquet, the scene was more than twice as spectacular as yesterday.

Xie Yunyan also smacked his tongue secretly.

Leaning closer to Ning Shu's ear, he whispered: "Yuzhou is a poor place, and the king is still so expensive, it seems that he has exploited the hard-earned money of many businessmen." ”

Ning Shu shrank her neck, covered her mouth and smiled charmingly.

From the perspective of others, the two seem to be an ambiguous joke.

"There are no resources available in Yuzhou, I think, the most important thing is the fortress in Gucheng County."

Xie Yunyan touched her head, "Madam is so smart. ”

Zhang Junshou of Gucheng County is Xie Yunyan's biggest goal on this trip, which is good.

But he has another important task.

The emperor sent him to Yuzhou, but it was not as simple as moving to Zhang Junshou, the most powerful backing of the king of inquiry.

but to obtain the list in the king's hand.

The list of people who were still serving in the court, but who had surrendered to the king behind their backs.

Before they knew it, the two had already entered the main hall and sat in their seats.

When the seats were full, King Xun was also followed by the princess and the side concubine, and walked to the main seat in high spirits amid the cheers of everyone.

It was like a humble version of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

The host arrived, and with a congratulatory greeting, the palace added a warm fire to the dog days of Yuzhou.

The feast is in full swing, singing and dancing.

Many people learned that Pingcheng rookie Zhao Zhenhai was also in person, and they all stepped forward to talk a few words, hoping to leave some impression in his heart, which would also be conducive to the future development of their business.

Waves of people arrived, and waves of people left.

Xie Yunyan answered their greetings without leaking.

Zhang Junshou always sat aside, paying close attention to the movements here, and after the last group of people left, he squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile and came to Xie Yunyan's side and said with a smile: "Old Master Zhao's popularity is really good." ”

Xie Yunyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There's no way, if you want to eat this meal, you have to make friends with people in the same way." ”

"Then why did the previous Master Zhao avoid walking out of Pingcheng and getting acquainted with people?"

Zhang Junshou casually poured a glass of wine for Xie Yunyan, and he picked up the tea on the side and drank it.

Xie Yunyan looked left and right with his eyebrows, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered: "Zhang Junshou doesn't know, the villain's business is suddenly on fire, is there anything else to say about this harmful heart, and the heart of guarding people is indispensable." ”

"Oh? What difficulties has Master Zhao encountered? ”

Zhang Junshou looked at his frightened bird, and his heart was full of disdain.

After all, he is still an upstart, with a little more luck, but a little less guts.

Xie Yunyan's eyelids drooped suddenly, "Don't hide it from Zhang Junshou, the villain can be regarded as bitter and happy now." Before today's achievements, whether it was the local officials or the nearby mountain bandits, they all made a stumbling block for the villain. ”

He sighed wistfully, "Let's talk about this trip, obviously I have already greeted the government, those mountain bandits - hey, bad luck, don't mention it." ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Zhang Junshou didn't let go of any expression on Xie Yunyan's face, and put on a surprised look and said with a smile: "It's okay, when I return, this official will personally escort Master Zhao to see which one of those who dare to bully Master Zhao without long eyes." ”

Xie Yunyan was overjoyed, and immediately accepted Zhang Junshou's kindness, "The villain thanks Zhang Junshou." ”

"It's all trivial." Zhang Junshou waved his hand, "Then I don't know when Master Zhao's bags will arrive in Yuzhou?" ”

Xie Yunyan was melancholy again, "There are more than ten carriages, and they are also acting separately, and the specific villain doesn't dare to guarantee it, but it should be soon." ”

Zhang Junshou nodded with satisfaction, "That's very good." ”

"Zhang Junshou, the villain still has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" Xie Yunyan saw that the conversation between the two was much more familiar than before, and he approached Zhang Junshou with a smile: "Maybe the villain's business can be bigger." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Junshou suddenly raised his hand and stopped Xie Yunyan's words.

"Master Zhao may be a little drunk, why don't you go to a quiet place with this official to drink tea and wake up?"

Xie Yunyan's eyes flashed, and he immediately smiled: "Okay, it's better to be respectful." ”

When Zhang Junshou turned around, he glanced at Ning Shu intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Yunyan immediately understood, patted Ning Shu's little face, and said gently: "Manniang will go to the woman's place to sit, and go back for her husband." ”

Ning Shu blessed her body, "Listen to the master." ”

Seeing Xie Yunyan leave, Ning Shu didn't come back to her senses when she was stopped by Concubine Wang's side.

"This is Manniang?"

Ning Shu bowed to the woman who rushed over, but she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look directly at her.

"Manniang has seen the side concubine Niangniang."

Concubine Xu is a woman in her thirties, and judging from her dress, she is much bolder than Concubine Ji.

At the banquet with many people, a peacock robe embroidered with gold thread is not to mention overwhelming the main concubine, I am afraid that the queen of Kyoto will be inferior when she comes.

Concubine Xu looked at Ning Shu, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes.

But she still had a very kind smile on her face.

"Manniang, the wine is smoking here, I called a few suitable ladies to go to the garden to cool off, if you have nothing to do, come with us?"

Ning Shu was flattered and said: "Thank you Niangniang for your kindness, then Manniang will bother." ”

"Manniang has seen the outside, everyone who comes is a guest, and it is also my duty to take care of the female dependents of the prince's guests."

Concubine Xu wanted to be intimate with Manniang, but when she thought that she was just a businessman's concubine, her origin was still unknown, and then looking at her foxy appearance, she had already secretly guessed that she was a person from the fireworks and wine alley.

It is very face-saving to be able to patiently obey the orders given by the prince.

Ben Lian moved lightly and walked in front of Ning Shu, and even rolled out a disdainful roll of his eyes when he passed by Ning Shu's side.

Ning Shu kept her head down, carefully followed behind Concubine Xu, and came all the way to the pavilion in the garden.

At this time, three ladies were already sitting in the pavilion.

The only vacant position is naturally to be given to Concubine Xu.

When the three of them saw Concubine Xu, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

Concubine Xu gently shook the pu fan in her hand, and tapped Ning Shu behind her with the fan, "Come, let me introduce to you, this is Manniang from Pingcheng, Master Zhao's concubine." ”

One of the three ladies was also a merchant, and the other two were courtiers.

Although the official position is not large, it is a good room.

For Manniang, a concubine who knows at a glance that it is not her duty, she is tired of it from the bones.

Of course, Concubine Xu was excluded by them.

One by one, they didn't even bother to say hello to Ning Shu, and some people even snorted softly: "The current atmosphere is really worrying, how can you take a concubine out to participate in the prince's birthday banquet?" ”
