During the banquet, the two sons continued to talk loudly, and Lu Bo coped with it while teasing with words, hoping to get more details from the mouths of the two.

Gradually at dusk, the big ding in the courtyard wafted out a burst of meat fragrance, and the corn in the kettle under the east corridor was also particularly attractive under the background of the meat smell; Fruit and vegetable jam, salt, plum and ginger have been prepared and placed neatly in the basket; After a long day's work, the White Mansion finally filtered out a large urn of clear water—everything for entertaining the guests had been put in order—and the sound of scattered drums could be heard in the distance.

At the beckoning of Bai Gen, all the people in the banquet stepped out of the door of the mansion and lined up on both sides. This place is very close to the city, Huayang Wei will arrive when he goes out of the city, everyone does not dare to hold it up, and would rather wait more. Lü Buwei looked back and forth, calling some children to the edge of the city to listen.

It didn't take long for a group of children to rush over, and almost at the same time as the group of children shouted "Come on", there was the sound of wheels. Everyone hurriedly straightened out their clothes, and then looked at the front and back without much deviation, and then they all bowed their hands and hung their heads silently.

When he was young, a carriage stopped on the street, jumped out of the car, ran over and said, "Han Wangsun is visiting!" ”

Headed by the second son, a group of people waited in front of the car, and the second son saluted and said: "The king and grandson are coming, and the disdain is shining." ”

Huayang Wei slowly got out of the car, walked over, and saluted back: "How dare the second son of Lao come away!" ”

Yang Zi said: "The people of the disdainful city are protected by the king and grandson, and the family is peaceful." It is not allowed to be repaid, and I wish to live in the Bai family in the north of the city, prepare three animals and drink wine, and talk about the friendship of the landlord. ”

Huayang Wei said: "Virtue is thin and shallow, willing to resign!" ”

Yang Zi said: "It's just a meal, if you don't dare to say respect, I am willing to give it to the table." ”

Huayang Wei saluted again: "Ziqi is in the township, and he doesn't dare to sit down." ”

Yang Zi said: "May the king and grandson not be in the township!" ”

Huayang Wei said: "The son is forced by the township, and he will not be allowed to resign, and he dares to take the seat." After this routine resignation, Huayang Wei walked towards the gate of Baifu with a big belly, and Bai Gen and the others followed. Three times and three lets, the guests and hosts went to the hall together. Someone had already led Huayangwei's carriage to the side courtyard so that he could feed him.

While the crowd was waiting outside the door, the clansmen and the housekeepers hurriedly changed the seats in the hall and arranged them according to the new specifications. After Captain Huayang went to the hall, he naturally sat in the first seat of the west seat, and the driver who came with him and the right side of the car sat under Captain Huayang. The host set up two seats, the second son was the first seat, the main lord Erlu and Su Bo'an set up another seat at the next head, Bai Gen as a Chinese man to fight horizontally, Uncle Tang was a mound Zai, took a dagger and divided the meat in front of the ding.

After Huayang Wei sat down, he looked at it, and said with a gloomy face: "Where did the guest come from?" ”

Erlu didn't know what he meant, so he had to answer: "I despise Luoyi." ”

Huayang Wei said: "Luo Nai is the residence of the Son of Heaven, but Lile collapses like this!" ”

Erlu was a little flustered and didn't know what to do for a while. Seeing that Erlu had not yet comprehended, Huayang Wei said: "There is still a prince and grandson during the banquet, but a certain one is lost in asking for advice. Why don't the two sons advise? ”

Su Bo'an knew that he was talking about himself, so he hurriedly knelt down and crossed his hands and said: "The minister of the Su family, the ancestor has a vertical head and must be also, so the old minister of Jin does not dare to ask the grandson of the king of Han." ”

Huayang Wei bowed his head slightly, and said: "Vertical head beard, the guardian is also, Yu Jin Marquis has merit, give the beard." Since he is a minister of the Jin family, why does he live in Luo? ”

Feeling that the lie was going to be a gang, Su Bo'an was a little embarrassed, and said: "The minister's father serves the king of Wei, and orders the minister to live in Luo." ”

Huayang Wei said: "Could it be the master of Weizhong? ”

Su Bo'an saw that Huayang Wei said a word, and he didn't dare to support me, so he had to bow his head and say, "It's the insult." ”

Huayang Wei said: "My Han Wei was also from the Marquis of Jin in the past, although he is now the king, he has to be an old friend of the Xu family; And the middle doctor has to serve the king of Wei, so why is he so cheap? ”

Everyone didn't know what to say, and it was cold for a while. Huayang Wei said again: "The people of Ningluoyi Zhou have fallen to this point, and they are subordinate to Shang Jiahu? ”

Only then did everyone understand that it turned out that this Han Wangsun was not resentful of Su Bo'an's position under Erlu. When starting from the beam, Su Bo'an was pretending to be a short-term worker, dressed in short brown, and he could not be tied with Erlu in a long shirt, and they were all under him. After leaving the city, due to the strange illness of Da Liang Wei, Erlu took the idea all the way, Su Bo'an was very easy-going, and this time he also had an attitude of not fighting with the world, and did not think about making contributions, so he was used to the role of his entourage. Yesterday was temporarily sent to Kaifeng, and before the trip, Xin Lingjun specially explained that everything was headed by Erlu; So even Mr. Guo, the thinker of Xinlingjun, was the only one who looked forward to Lu Ma, and Su Bo'an had nothing else to think about. On the morning road, although it was agreed that when dealing with Huayang Wei, Su Bo'an would come forward to negotiate as a merchant of the King of Wei, but Su Bo'an only took orders and did not have the consciousness of a leader in his heart. Later, the situation changed, and Bai Gong came forward to invite Captain Huayang, although Xu Bo'an changed into a scholar's costume as agreed in advance, his mentality did not change. Because the others have become a habit, they don't pay attention to it, so it is natural that Erlu is the leader, and even Uncle Tang is sitting on the top of the bearded son, and he doesn't feel inappropriate. When talking to the second son, the second son noticed something abnormal, but out of disdain for the businessmen, he just regarded it as a rude nonsense of the lowly people, and gently exposed it in the face of a sumptuous dinner. I never thought that Huayang Wei was so strict about the dignity and humility of his status, and he actually drank it in front of him. - Of course, the merchant dressed as a scholar and saw Huayang Wei, at least Bai Gen didn't know that it had happened, otherwise he would have been reminded a long time ago.

Seeing that Huayang Wei sternly pursued the rudeness of the seat, Erlu and Su Bo'an had no choice but to avoid the banquet and ask for guilt, saying that they had been in business for a long time, and they had little etiquette and acted at a loss.

Huayang Wei You didn't let it go, and said sharply: "You can't punish a doctor, and you can't give a courtesy." The reason why the ancients set up a banquet was because of the gentleness of relatives. Although the Su family is a minister, the doctor is also; Although the businessmen are rich, so are the people. It is also rude to be above a gentleman with a common person. ”

Seeing that the banquet was about to be eaten, Erlu and the bearded prince were prostrate on the ground, not daring to reply, and the two sons of Yang and Wei had to come out to mediate: "Han Wangsun has insight, and the ministers can't wait." How strange it is that a businessman is good at profit and forgets righteousness! The ministers do not notice, so that the upper and lower are out of order, the dignity and humility are out of position, and the sins of the ministers are also. Remember his sincerity and kindness, allow him to be taught, and change his past mistakes. ”

Bai Gen also left the table and bowed: "A person who is a humble person does not know etiquette, has lost his decency, and is guilty of capital crimes!" ”

Huayang Wei sat on the seat, looked at Su Bo'an and said: "The son of the Su family is still young, and he doesn't know the etiquette, which is understandable. There is one thing that the only scholar should not detach from his heart: my ancestors' blood and food are not comparable to others! Willing to fall, God is blessed, and the stakes are not small! ”

Su Bo'an prostrated on the ground and said, "I would like to take the lesson of the king and grandson!" "Still afraid to look up.

Huayang Wei said again: "The scholar is rude, I can't bear it, don't blame the merchants!" ”

Erlu had to reply: "How dare you! ”

Huayang Wei said: "Since the second son is the host, how can it be?" ”

The second son said: "Dare to ask the Su clan to be the leader, but what?" ”

Huayang Wei said: "It's not proper, the shishu are not at the same table, and the etiquette is also, not just the same table but the first." ”

The second son said: "Just ask the son of the Su family to sit with the ministers, but what?" ”

Huayang Wei said: "It's not proper, the second son is the host, and the foreign guests of the Su family are also foreigners, so they have to sit on the host." I have a word, and the two sons listen to it, and the sons of the Su family can sit with us on the west seat. ”
