"I was wrong."

When there was no way to refute it, Xu Huabiao admitted his mistake very simply.

Lin Yun'er snorted, but there was no arrogance after the bickering victory.

The main thing is that she is used to it, and she has never lost in the recent period of time when the two of them have quarreled.

Xu Huabiao has always felt that she let her ...... Well.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"I'll open the door." Lin Yun'er heard the voice and reacted quickly.

In the past six months, she has been very familiar with her role as a "maid".

The door opened, and outside stood a man of no apparent age.

Dressed in a gray caftan with a thin figure.

It looks like the servant of a high-ranking lord.

"Hello." Lin Yun'er obviously didn't expect that there would be a person in this kind of dress to visit, which was a bit surprising.

"Is Mr. Xu at home?" The people who came were very polite.

"Yes...... Is there something you can do? ”

"Here's an invitation from my master." The person who came took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Yun'er, "Invite Mr. Xu to the mansion for a banquet tonight." ”

"Your host is ......"

"Situ Jin Jidong."

“…… Lord Situ? My son-in-law has nothing to do with Lord Situ......" Lin Yun'er was frightened by such a title as Situ.

I can't help but be scared, Sangong! According to the official rank, it is the same level as Jiang Hudong, the Taishi.

Naturally, he got out of the way.

Xu Huabiao, who was in the yard, was obviously a little surprised.

What surprised him was not that the official rank of the person who invited him to the banquet was Situ, but the name of this Lord Situ.

"Lord Situ...... You know me? Xu Huabiao asked a sentence said by another famous person in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

It's just that in history, it was Liu Bei who said it to Tai Shici, who came to ask for help for Kong Rong.

"A few days ago, when Lord Situ and General Kim Jong Kook were having a banquet, General Kim Jong Kook mentioned Mr. Kim Jong Kook many times during the banquet." The Situ servant obviously dealt with this kind of thing often, and he was still very polite when he spoke, and he was very polite: "Therefore, I hope to have the opportunity to meet with Mr. The rash visit was a bit abrupt, so I prepared a banquet in the house, hoping to invite Mr. to come over the house. ”

"Please tell Lord Situ that Xu will definitely visit on time tonight." Xu Huabiao nodded and nodded seriously to the polite servant.

"Okay, then the villain will return to Lord Situ." The servant bowed to Xu Huabiao, then turned to leave.

Lin Yun'er closed the courtyard door there, and then looked at Xu Huabiao strangely.

"What's wrong?" Xu Huabiao naturally noticed this strange look.

"Even if I don't know much about it...... But shouldn't you be with Jiang Hudong? Why go to Szeto's dinner? ”

"One head? Oh, you mean taking sides! Xu Huabiao was slightly stunned for a moment and smiled, "Why, are you so sure that Situ is not on Jiang Hudong's side?" ”

"Jiang Hudong has never been interested in arranging for people from his Xiliang family to serve in the court! Situ, the position of the third duke, how could it be his person! Even I, who don't care about these things, know, don't you know? Lin Yun'er's expression was very serious, "If you go to the appointment like this, you will be hated by Jiang Hudong, right?" ”

"Didn't you notice what he just said, that Kim Jong Kook mentioned me when he was drinking with him?" Xu Huabiao smiled, "There are two meanings of this sentence, one layer, Kim Jong Kook can drink with me, and the other layer, Kim Jong Kook recommended you to drink with me." ”

“…… Kim Jong Kook doesn't mean you can, right? Even I know that there are some banquets where both sides of the wine are tense......"

"In that case, will there be small talk about how I have a brother? Isn't this shining a light on your weaknesses to the other party? Xu Huabiao retorted with a smile, "Maybe Jiang Hudong didn't have any cronies in the court, but it doesn't mean that no one in the court has taken refuge in him!" ”

"What's the benefit of taking refuge in him? All the heroes of the world are against him......"

"And then after a few months of party before the Tiger Prison was closed, the gang broke up?" Xu Huabiao interrupted Lin Yun'er's words, "Okay! Don't worry about that. I'm not going to eat at home tonight, you can make dinner yourself. ”

"Don't you need me to send you there? By the way, speaking of which, am I going to rent a carriage so that you can come back in the car when you're drunk......"

"Yikes! You're just a maid now, not a guard! What the hell are you idle! Xu Huabiao was amused by Lin Yun'er's words.

Lin Yun'er, this is really professional!

"Then how do you come back after drinking too much?"

"There are too many carriages in Situ's house, so worry about you?" Xu Huabiao asked rhetorically, "I'll just go to the banquet lightly...... Well, by the way, do you know anything about banquet etiquette? ”

"Banquet etiquette?"

"It's how to drink when drinking, who toasts and who says greetings...... I'm completely unaware. Did you know? ”

“…… I do know a little. When I was in Yanzhou before, I accompanied my lord to attend several banquets. But I didn't know that the banquet etiquette was different from that of the one in Beijing. And many of these etiquettes are very detailed, and I don't know if I can say it clearly for a while......" Lin Yun'er looked more worried than Xu Huabiao, "If I miss it, you will definitely blame me." ”

“…… Let's talk a little taboo! Xu Huabiao smiled, "I really don't understand this." I've only drunk with civilians since I was a kid. ”

"Didn't you attend a banquet for the princes of the coalition forces?"

"Hey, that's also where the princes drink from other people, and people like me rely on a horse to support people to rub wine and meat." Xu Huabiao said honestly. "I just ate and drank by myself anyway, and I didn't have any communication with anyone. Tonight this is obviously different! ”

Lin Yun'er laughed.

"Forget it, anyway, I'm just an ordinary civilian who doesn't understand these things, and I don't think this Lord Situ will care too much about things that I don't know how to be polite!" Xu Huabiao looked at Lin Yun'er's embarrassment, and didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore.

"It's just some basic etiquette. In fact, although it is an aristocrat, it doesn't seem to be too exquisite. Lin Yun'er still thought hard about it, trying to show her value: "Actually, if you think about it, these people are just drinking when they get together, there are too many etiquettes or something, and they are restrained when they drink by themselves!" ”

"That's ......," Xu Huabiao smiled.

"Don't you need me to pick you up at night?"

"You're a maid! Not a guard! ”

"Although the security in Chang'an is much better now than half a year ago, if a person like you is drunk and walks back in the middle of the night...... God knows what will happen! Lin Yun'er still seemed to be a little relieved, "But if you die in an accident, it will be convenient for me to leave Chang'an, so that you don't have to say that I will cause you trouble if I leave now." ”

"It's okay, I'm not drunk." Xu Huabiao is quite confident in this. "It's all said, if you go back to Chen Liu now, you will be disgusted by Li Xiuman, so it's better to make a meritorious return."

"What can I do?"

"Wait." Xu Huabiao still habitually sold a pass. "You'll find out later."
