Chapter 100: Jiang Qi's Treat (Ask for Collection)
After receiving Jiang Qi's order, Jiang Renshu, the commander of the Sword Guard, and Yan Ming, the leader of the Qilin Guard, did not dare to disobey after looking at his very tired subordinates, and retreated one by one after saluting.
Now there are two hundred Qilin guards stationed in this Hou Mansion, and they don't have to worry about Jiang Qi's safety at all, not to mention that not far from this Hou Mansion is the West Garden, where the emperor lives, and there are even more soldiers stationed there, so it can be said that this is the safest territory in Luoyang.
After all the escorts left, Jiang Qi slowly walked towards the long-lost mansion, and on the way to the mansion gate, there were constantly soldiers guarding the safety of the mansion saluting Jiang Qi, and Jiang Qi bowed slightly when he saw this.
Soon Jiang Qi entered the Hou Mansion through the open middle door, and as he stepped into the gate, the servants in the mansion who had been waiting in the corridor of the gatehouse knelt down neatly and saluted in the housekeeper Jiang Da's "The prince returns to the mansion".
Listening to the magnificent greetings, Jiang Qi casually looked at the huge front yard, which was almost full of people, including the corridor, about two or three hundred, not including the soldiers guarding the side with swords.
Most of the people are young male and female servants and maids dressed in uniform clothes, and of course, from the perspective of rank, as a column of marquis, it is reasonable to have such a number of domestic servants. However, calculating the huge expenses, Jiang Qi, who is used to saving, is still a little painful.
After a few simple words, Jiang Qi asked Jiang Da to arrange for the servants to leave on their own, and then explained two sentences about tonight's dinner, which was the first time he solemnly settled in the mansion.
Although Jiang Qi has never been to his Hou Mansion, he is quite satisfied with the neatly cleaned courtyard and well-organized subordinates, so Jiang Qi can't help but look at Jiang Da, an old servant who has been with his mother for more than ten years, not to mention anything else, Jiang Da has gone from a general with outstanding martial arts to a housekeeper who manages hundreds of people up and down the mansion today, it is indeed not easy.
Although he had never been to this newly built mansion, Jiang Qi was still clear about the layout of the general mansion, and around the front yard, Jiang Qi soon saw his mother who was telling something to a few maids.
Later, when my mother looked back, she heard: "Ananda is not early, you go back to your room to freshen up, and you should take a rest after a long journey." Qin'er, Le'er, serve the prince well, Li'er and Grandma go back to the room to see if Luo'er is awake, if you wake up and can't find your aunt, you're going to make trouble againγγγγγ"
"The child knows, and in the evening the child asks his mother for peace."
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
When night falls, the lights come on, and it is difficult to see the brilliant stars and moon in the winter night sky. As soon as night fell, the pedestrians on the street where the Marquis of Yiyang's mansion was located were replaced by groups of heavily armed Han soldiers, and even the occasional carriage that passed by had to show identification before passing, so that the whole street looked very depressed.
There is no way to do this, all the palaces on this street are the residences of the emperor to the meritorious ministers, if someone here has an accident, it will be a big deal.
Of course, because of the strict protection, it is inconvenient for many visitors, which also makes many ministers who have a government here often stay in the neighborhood where officials are concentrated in the north of the city.
Different from the deserted streets in the past, today's Yiyang Hou Mansion has become extremely lively after the palm lamp, and even the entrance is illuminated by lanterns as if it were day.
As the atmosphere gradually rose, there were people on horseback and carriage in front of the gate of the mansion and people parked outside the gate of the mansion, and in less than half an hour, the spacious gate was full of gorgeous carriages and tall horses. Those who can be here at this moment are naturally all civil and military who came to the banquet at the invitation of Jiang Qi.
At present, the main hall of the Yiyang Hou Mansion is neatly filled with tables and cases, and the civil and military who have arrived in front of the table have also talked unrestrainedly after sending the female dependents to another banquet in the backyard, but the theme is almost the same, they are all asking their common lord, Jiang Qi, the owner of the Yiyang Hou Mansion, how he is feeling today.
Since ancient times, the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife has been the greatest hatred in the world, and if they don't inquire clearly, it will be troublesome if they say the wrong thing later.
Of course, under the lively atmosphere, there are also people who do not think otherwise, as the head of the civil officials, Changshi Tianfeng, is now sitting in front of his desk and drinking tea by himself.
Since Jiang Qi's farewell that day, after the West went to find Miss Cai's family and caused an uproar, Tian Feng was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Qi, and even began to reflect on the mistake of being lobbied out of the mountain by Jiang Qi in the first place.
Tian Feng even once classified Jiang Qi as a young and incoherent person, and now in Tian Feng's eyes, Jiang Qi is a family with no energy, how can such a person make great achievements.
"Hou Ye arrives in γγγγγ"
Just when the discussion came and went, suddenly a high voice interrupted everyone's words, everyone followed the sound to see, at this moment from the corner of the corridor is not their lord Jiang Qi, seeing this everyone couldn't help but quickly stop the sound, the originally noisy hall also became a pin drop can be heard.
Jiang Qi, who slowly came into everyone's sight, wore a simple home dress today, and wore a bladeless sword often carried by literati around his waist.
Surrounded by maids all the way, Jiang Qi had a faint smile on his face, which made people feel a little kind, but without losing the arrogance of the superiors.
"Subordinates, the last general will meet the lord!"
As Jiang Qi stepped into the hall, all the civil and military officers bowed to the ground in unison, and the body of the salute followed Jiang Qi to the main table before stopping.
Standing in front of the main table, Jiang Qi helped him down and said calmly: "Get up, they are all your own brothers, no need to be polite." β
"Thank you, Lord Gongγγγγγ" There was no discomfort in Jiang Qi's voice when he heard it, and the person who was still a little worried just now was able to put it down.
"Alright, take your seats! You're welcome here. Jiang Qi waved his hand again to beckon everyone to take a seat, and then also lifted the hem of his robe and sat down at his own main table.
casually said: "Come on, let's start the banquet!" β
"Noγγγ"
Hearing this, the butler who had been guarding the door hurriedly saluted and received the order, and then clapped his palms. After two sounds, one by one neatly dressed people began to walk the dishes in an endless stream, less than a cup of tea, and the steaming dishes were placed on the various dining tables in the hall, and next to each dining table, a young girl with a wine scoop was arranged.
Jiang Qi picked up the wine cup that the maid who was waiting on the side had just filled, raised his glass and said: "Ben Hou is not there to worry you these days, and today Ben Hou will apologize with this wine." β
"Lord Xieγγγγ" Hearing Jiang Qi's solemn words, even Tian Feng, who was dissatisfied with him, quickly got up and raised the wine above his head.
Although Jiang Qi's apology is true, if those present really dare to accept it without shame, it will be inappropriate.
After drinking all the glasses, Jiang Qi asked the serving maid to fill the wine glass again, and then raised his glass and said: "Okay, there is nothing else to do today, this banquet should have been invited to you after returning to Luoyang, but some things have been delayed, and it has not been held until today." Come, let's drink happily today, and we won't get drunk or go homeγγγγγγ"
"Lord, please γγγ" Although they didn't know what medicine was sold in Jiang Qi's gourd, everyone raised their glasses again without hesitation and drank the wine.
"Wouldn't it be beautiful to have wine and no songs, and you should have fun today." Jiang Qi put down the wine cup and said with a smile, and after speaking, he clapped his palms,
With Jiang Qi's signal, the singer musician who was temporarily found rushed in under the leadership of the next person. When the music sounded, the six gorgeously dressed singers danced like butterflies wearing flowers.
Martial artists are good at wine and literati are happy, although they don't know what their lord wants to do today, but in the face of a jar of good wine and a beautiful musical instrument, the people present quickly became intoxicated, even those who drank well were drunk by Jiang Qi's spelling invitation.
Jiang Qi scooped up a scoop of wine, and then poured it full for Xin Bi, who was staring at the dancing girl intently, and teased with a smile: "George, I heard that you have been living happily in Ruyu Pavilion these days, are you unable to walk now?"
Zhang Fei, who came over to ask for wine, happened to hear Jiang Qi's words, smiled and hugged Xinbi's thin arm, and said with a smile: "Why don't you walk the road, Yifei will be intoxicated with gentleness when he sees George." β
General Yide laughed, Bi Ke is looking for knowledge in the noise, and it has nothing to do with Fengyue, doesn't General Yide think that Rouge Fang is the best place to learn the vicissitudes of the world? Looking at the people who come from all over the world, it is no less than the people who study the world. Xin Bi quibbled disappreciatively, and smiled mysteriously at Jiang Qi after speaking.
It is said that literati love romance, and usually love to wander around brothels when they have nothing to do, but they are fundamentally different from those prostitutes who are only engaged in skin and flesh sex. As for what he did in the brothel, no one cared, at most it was just a joke.
When Jiang Qi was tossing and turning in the wine case, Jiang Da hurriedly entered and whispered in his ear: "Young master, the porter has come to report, Zhonghuangmen took the people from Beisi Prison and a car to the gate of the mansion, and said, γγγγ"
Jiang Qi was obviously stunned after hearing this, and then handed the wine glass to the waiting maid to signal for wine, and said with a half-loud expression: "Yes." Tell the porter to do their duty. β
"No,"
Jiang Da turned around and left quietly, Jiang Da knew that although his young master did not say it explicitly, it was enough to be responsible.
Now that all the servants in the palace were transferred from the Qilin Guard, their responsibility in the eyes of these soldiers could not be clearer, that is, to eliminate all actions that might threaten the life of their lord, including those uninvited guests outside the palace.
Zhang Fei, who had just stayed next to him, watched Jiang Qi's brief changes, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Did something happen to the fourth brother?" β
"It's okay, continue to γγγγ," Jiang Qi took the wine glass handed over by the maid and smiled slightly.
Then Jiang Qi turned around and walked to Tian Feng, who was pouring himself a drink, and said, "Why is Brother Yuan Hao drinking alone, these days have been hard, Brother Qi respects a cup." β
"The lord's words are heavy, and assisting the lord is the responsibility of the lowly position, how can the lowly position speak of bitterness." Tian Feng got up and picked up the wine glass and replied expressionlessly, although his words were polite, there was still a hint of displeasure in his tone.
For Tian Feng's tone, Jiang Qi still smiled and drank all the wine in the cup, and then poured it again and looked at the frustration next to him, and said reminiscingly: "I heard Yuan Hao, Gong and the two talents that day, Qi found it all the way, fortunately, the two brothers did not think that Qi was young, and went out of the mountain to help Qi, and Qi felt it for a long time. The arrival of the two brothers solved all the worries for Qi, Qi has nothing to repay, today only this thin wine to the two brothers", after speaking, he drank a cup of wine in his hand again.
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were a little inexplicable about Jiang Qi's feelings, but they still hurried back with another glass, but after eating in front of a glass of wine, the two were also recalled by Jiang Qi's words.
I have to say that they are actually grateful to Jiang Qi in their hearts, you must know that one of the two of them was a small official who resigned and returned home, and the other was just two small county commanders, compared to their current status, it is completely different.
Taking the wine glass again, Jiang Qi turned around and said to Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun and others: "Changwen, Zhicai, George, Zhongzhi brothers pulled out their swords to help Qi when he needed it most, this friendship Qi will never forget, come to Qi to pay tribute to the brothers", after speaking, Jiang Qi also drank the wine in the wine glass again.
"Brother Gongda, you won't say much about Qi's friendship, come and drink this cup γγγγγγ the two of us."
