Chapter 67: Separate seats
Lan Tianjiao said with a smile: "It's all a family, so there is no need to say more kind words." ”
His first impression of Zhao Hongming was good.
Due to his poor image and condition, every time he deals with strangers, he will notice that the other party looks down on him.
But this time, in Zhao Hongming's eyes, he didn't detect any disdain, which surprised him.
Just after chatting with Lan Tianjiao, the rest of the princes and the people who went to the banquet arrived one after another.
"Fifth brother."
Zhao Hongming heard a familiar voice and looked up, and Zhao Hongguang, who was not far away, came to the banquet with two guards.
After leaving the palace, Zhao Hongguang, who could enjoy the mountains and rivers, was obviously in a good mood, and he said happily: "Everything is going well on the road, right?" ”
Zhao Hongming replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's a few hours away from Daliang City, and you will arrive after a while." It's a little annoying to rain in the middle, and the road is not easy to walk. ”
"Fifth brother is so right." Zhao Hongguang, the eighth prince, agreed: "When it rains, the road will be muddy, and the carriage will sink into it at every turn, which makes me a little upset when I sit in the car." ”
"Hey, who is the person standing next to the fifth brother? It's so ugly. ”
The eighth prince is still young, and he lives in the palace and does not have much contact with people.
There has never been a city government, and his speech is very direct.
Zhao Hongming glanced at it, and when Lan Tianjiao heard Zhao Hongguang's evaluation, his face was already as black as the bottom of the pot.
"Why did you talk to your brother-in-law like that?"
"Ah, brother-in-law!"
Zhao Hongguang reacted immediately, he said that the ugly one was the husband of Princess Wuyin, and hurriedly apologized: "I have bad eyes since I was a child, and it is easy to see mistakes when I am far away." Brother-in-law, I'm talking nonsense. ”
Lan Tianjiao said in a cold tone: "The people are almost here, I'll go and see if you're ready, and you guys should be seated early." ”
He walked between the two brothers with his hands on his back and a pair of short legs.
Zhao Hongming saw Lan Tianjiao's performance and knew that his strength was not large.
You still have to pay attention to dealing with it in the future.
After Lan Tianjiao left, Zhao Hongguang quietly approached Zhao Hongming and said in a low voice: "Fifth brother, I didn't expect Princess Wuyin's horse to be so ugly?" ”
"Eighth brother, you must not evaluate a person's talents, qualities, and behaviors based on their appearance, and do not underestimate a person's future based on their appearance. Judging people by their appearance, they lose their sons. ”
"Qi Guoyanzi, who has no five-foot body, but he is a martial artist in the martial arts realm, and he is matched with the seal of Qi Guo, I think our brother-in-law is actually a capable person who is clumsy on the outside and beautiful on the inside."
Zhao Hongguang was a little puzzled, why did he think that today's fifth brother was a little wrong, he would never be so boastful on weekdays.
Seeing Zhao Hongguang's bewildered face, Zhao Hongming couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
Lan Tianjiao is the child of the elder of Zhengyi Palace, and his martial arts cultivation is definitely not low.
Judging from his cultivation experience, if he listened attentively at this distance, Lan Tianjiao would definitely be able to hear the conversation between the two brothers.
He is not such a broad-minded person, and his evaluation of Zhao Hongguang must be lingering, and he must be intentional to pay attention here.
Therefore, Zhao Hongming intends to praise him more behind his back, so as to leave a good impression on him.
Maybe I can help one or two in the Zhengyi Palace in the future.
In fact, it was as Zhao Hongming had guessed.
The conversation between the two brothers was clearly heard by Lan Tianjiao.
At first, when he heard Zhao Hongguang's words, he was really a little angry, but when he heard Zhao Hongming's evaluation of him again, he was overjoyed.
This five princes can deal with it!
Others went to the feast one after another.
There are several familiar princes, and some disciples in the Zhengyi Palace who are not very familiar, both men and women, who have come together.
Although Lan Tian is not good-looking, it can still be seen that he, the son of an elder, still has some status in the Zhengyi Palace.
Otherwise, if only Princess Wuyin was alone, she would not have such a big face to bring these people.
"Fifth brother, everyone is almost here, let's all go over and sit down." The eighth prince looked heartless.
Zhao Hongming sighed silently at the performance of this eighth brother: "Let's go." ”
The feast was open-air.
Under a towering tree, there is a long case.
It is filled with pastries, fruits, and all kinds of butchers.
The prince's side sits on one side in order of eldest and youngest, and the children of the main palace sit on the other side of the long case.
At this time, Princess Wuyin had also dressed up, wearing a golden step and a purple embroidered dress, and sat with Lan Tianjiao on the chairman.
After Lan Tianjiao sat down, he said the opening remarks quite politely: "Today is my wife's brother who came to Zhengyi Palace as a guest, and I, as a brother-in-law, naturally have to take over the wind and wash the dust for you." Everyone's face is appreciated, and they are willing to come to the feast. Usually, everyone is busy with cultivation and can't get together, but today is the opportunity to take this opportunity to get together, everyone is not polite, speak freely, and just have fun. ”
"Brother Lan personally sent someone to deliver the invitation, where can I wait." A man smiled heartily.
"I forgot to introduce, this is the eldest son of the Great Elder, the eldest brother of our Zhengyi Palace, Gong Ji. At the age of twenty, he is already a sixth-level cultivator, and his cultivation is quite talented. ”
Regarding Lan Tianjiao's words, Gong Ji was obviously very useful, he said: "Don't dare, don't dare, compared to many people in the door, I'm still very stupid." ”
"Senior brother is humble." Lan Tianjiao pointed to the side of the table and introduced each other: "These are all Fa Xiao who grew up with me since childhood, and they are all the children of the elders in the door. Here are all the princes of the Zhao family, and there are five brothers from the fourth prince to the eighth prince. ”
"I'm glad I will."
Both sides began to exchange pleasantries.
Zhao Hongming noticed that among the six people opposite, there were two women.
They are all in their twenties, and they can't be said to be good-looking, but they are not ugly.
Perhaps because of the cultivation of some flexible exercises, their skin is very fair, giving people the impression of a small jasper.
Could it be that Lan Tianjiao introduced one of the two of them?
Zhao Hongming was a little unsure.
Lan Tianjiao said: "Since everyone is here to make friends at this banquet, it is too raw to sit like this, I have a bamboo stick here, which is engraved with twelve numbers, you will draw the number, how about sitting down in order according to the number?" ”
"That's a good idea, I'll come first." Gong Ji took out a bamboo stick first, and three were engraved on it.
Gong Ji pointed to the position of the six princes and said, "The six princes get up, your position is mine." ”
Zhao Hongcheng, the sixth prince, got up and gave up his seat.
"I'll do it too."
Soon, a person stepped forward and drew a bamboo stick to determine his position.
I don't know if Lan Tianjiao intentionally or unintentionally put Zhao Hongming last.
After a round of draws, everyone's positions were disrupted, and they were no longer as clear as before.
I have you, you have me.
Zhao Hongming saw that it was almost over, so he stepped forward to draw a bamboo stick.
Lan Tianjiao said: "The fifth brother doesn't have to smoke, and now there are only two seats left, so you can sit in that place." ”
Zhao Hongming found that there were two adjacent positions near the right seat, and instantly understood Lan Tianjiao's intentions, and sat down very freely.
"Anyway, why hasn't Katsuo come yet?"
"I'm afraid I'm oversleeping again, right?"
As they spoke, they heard a female voice not far away.
"I've kept you waiting, I'm here."
