9 The feast
Chapter 9: The Feast
This invitation is completely different from the invitations I have seen before, there is a very hard outer cover, and the front is a gilded font with an iron, which is extremely beautiful.
I don't know how to do it, but the font is shining in the sun.
The back is tied with a ribbon, and a small sign hangs from the ribbon, on which is engraved the word "distinguished guest".
This is really an invitation that even the outer cover is exquisite.
Zhang Changyan opened it, and inside was a piece of paper with a pattern on it, and a few lines of words were succinctly written on the paper.
When he saw the words, his first reaction was-
It's pretty good.
And when he saw the content clearly, Zhang Changyan's expression became strange.
He looked at it again and again to make sure that he was not mistaken, and then he looked at the stone in surprise, and his voice was strange: "In seven days, Rong Shizi is going to have a treat, and King Anqing is in good health?" ”
Stone nodded heavily.
Zhang Changyan: "......"
- Didn't you forget that you still owe 100,000 taels of silver, and you still have the heart to treat yourself?
He grabbed the stone, and the whole person was not good, "You Rong Shizi have money to entertain you, why don't you pay me back?" There is no New Year's Day, and the King of Anqing does not celebrate his birthday, and there is no happy event in your palace, what kind of banquet to hold!! ”
The stone was shaken to the ground.
In fact, he wanted to say that he didn't know, the prince's behavior has become more and more strange recently, it is really elusive, and the prince will not interfere, of course they can only do it.
Fortunately, now the prince is healthy, and Rong Zhao commands them every day.
When people get busy, they don't think much about anything.
Starting from the reward of famous doctors, the Anqing palace has been busy during this time, as far as Shi is concerned, he has not slept for a long time, and he has been so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.
It is precisely because of the busyness that no one has time to think about how the palace will repay the money.
When the prince asked them to send invitations, he also said that when the banquet was completed in seven days, everyone in the palace would have a silver reward, and the prince could be very generous now, and the amount of silver would not be small.
Therefore, now the people in the palace are not only not afraid, but they are all beaming and go out to distribute invitations.
So, the stone replied: "Back to the third prince, the prince's body is gradually recovering, this is the happy event of the palace." ”
Zhang Changyan: "......"
He continued to blow up his hair: "No, you have to pay me back!" You let Rong Zhao come out, I want to see Rong Shizi, didn't you say that we are brothers? Why do you keep avoiding it? ”
The stone was shaken by him and almost unsteady.
At this time, Xie Hong walked out quickly, and he saluted Zhang Changyang.
Zhang Changyan let go of the stone and took two steps forward: "Steward Xie, but ...... Is the son going to see me? ”
Xie Hong smiled impeccablely: "The prince is extremely busy preparing for the banquet, and he really can't find time to see the third prince." ”
Before Zhang Sangongzi became angry, Xie Hong's voice changed: "However, the prince said that if the banquet is over in seven days, and you want to return the silver taels, she will return the full amount immediately." ”
Zhang Changyan was overjoyed, and then his eyes were suspicious: "Rong Shizi has spent so much money, and he wants to hold a banquet, can he still take out 20,000 taels?" ”
Xie Hong smiled: "The 100,000 taels have been spent, and there are still some silver taels in the Anqing Palace." ”
Zhang Changyan: "......"
His teeth chattered.
You can't think about it, and if you think about it, you get angry.
Rong Zhao became famous all over the world, and it was lively for more than two months, and everyone knew that it was not her own money that was spent, and 20,000 taels of it came from Zhang Changyan, the son of a long-cherished enemy.
He cut back on food and clothing, tightened his belt, and got money everywhere, and Rong Shizi spent his money over there, and everyone praised him......
Zhang Changyan clutched his chest.
Xindao, when the money comes back, he must give Rong Zhao some color to see!
"Steward Xie, a word is a decision, remember to pay back the money in seven days." Zhang Changyan gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
- Seven days to go.
- He tightened his belt again.
Zhang Sangongzi left, but Xie Hong looked at his back with a worried face.
It is a variety of heavy rewards, and it is a banquet, and the money spent by the Anqing Mansion in the past two months is like flowing water, and the 100,000 taels seem to be a lot, but it is spent very quickly.
The prince has been calculating the assets of the palace recently, but the prince doesn't care about it at all, and the money is still spent.
It is true that the prince of the world is not in the house today, because—
She took people to spend a lot of money to renovate the Zhuangzi!
Three-month ......
What exactly is the son going to do? How can you pay back the money without selling the royal property?!
Xie Hongchou.
But soon he had no time to worry, there were too many things in the palace, and countless people were looking for him, and he was busy in the blink of an eye.
-
Prince Rong's Palace.
"What do you say? The prince of Anqing wants to hold a banquet to celebrate the recovery of King Anqing's health? Prince Rong frowned, and his face instantly became ugly.
Who can feel good if they suffer?
He still has 20,000 taels in the hands of Prince An's Mansion!
Now the other party not only doesn't want to pay back the money, but also has to hold a banquet?
Several princes, who are not angry when they hear it!
"Lord Wang, don't be angry, this is not necessarily a bad thing." The cronies smiled and stroked their beards.
Prince Rong looked at him suspiciously.
Prince Yu's Mansion.
Prince Yu lowered his eyes, twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, and after a while, he smiled at the thunderous Prince Yu: "Father, don't be angry, this money should be able to be returned." ”
"How?" Prince Yu looked at him.
His son is a well-known young talent in Beijing, and Pei Chengjue, the second son of Prince Narong, is known as the Shuangjie of Beijing, and he is very famous and extremely smart.
Pei Guanshan: "The previous behavior of the prince of Anqing can be called 'filial piety', and now the most appreciative of filial piety is the person, so we can't take the prince, but the prince wants to have a big banquet and invite the powerful people in Beijing......"
He smiled meaningfully.
Prince Yu instantly understood and laughed.
Prince Le's Palace.
Prince Le: "Hahaha, although Rong Shizi promised to repay the money in three months, if he doesn't pay it back after three months, his reputation will be ruined, but it is barely excusable, and even the emperor may wave his pen and not let him pay it back." ”
Prince Le also smiled: "Yes, the emperor admires him, maybe he will wait for three months to come, let him not pay it back, or help him pay it back." But now, he has the money to hold a big banquet, and he still says that he can't afford it at that time, so it can't be said. ”
Prince Lu's Palace.
Prince Lu: "This Rong Shizi is really capable of tossing, and he will not give up if he doesn't toss himself to death." ”
The princess thought about the money: "Our 20,000 taels should be able to be returned." ”
Prime Minister Zhang's Mansion.
The eldest prince Zhang Changzhi smiled: "That Rong Zhao pinched the emperor's mind, and he thought he was a smart person, and then looked at this operation, I'm afraid it was just a mistake before." ”
The second son, Zhang Changxing: "This is really digging your own grave." ”
Prime Minister Zhang Cheng nodded and affirmed the views of the two: "Indeed, Rong Zhao's previous behavior was on the emperor's mind, and he has been famous during this time, three months later, I am afraid that the emperor will still remember him, 80,000 taels just beat the four princes, and he will not be asked to return the silver, but now, this money has to be repaid if it is not repaid." ”
Zhang Changzhi: "Father, are we going to a banquet?" ”
Prime Minister Zhang picked up the invitation with a smile, "Of course I want to go, and I have to prepare a gift to take a good look at King Anqing, who is about to be healthy." ”
Although it is a pity that King Anqing did not die, he actually came back from the ghost gate.
But with that crazy son who is making trouble and pulling his hind legs, it is estimated that he will not live long.
Zhang Changxing: "Yes, the prince of the world invites us, how can we not go?" But if you want to look at the scale of the banquet of the prince, if it is extravagant and grand, it is really digging a grave for yourself. ”
Zhang Changzhi: "If it is cold, it will also lose the face of their Anqing Palace." ”
Therefore, as long as this banquet is held, whether it is extravagant or cold, it is Rong Zhao who pits himself.
Looking at these two sons of Chengqi, thinking about Rong Zhao, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng felt that he was better again!
His smile had just been raised, and he quickly fell, shouting outside, "What are you doing sneakily doing?" Zhang Changyan, don't get in quickly! Where did you run to mix it up again? You're a thing you can't make a thing, you only know ...... all day."
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was suddenly only Prime Minister Zhang's angry scolding, and Zhang Sangongzi, who shrank his neck like a quail.
-
Regardless of what the people and horses of all parties were thinking, the invitation was sent out, and on the day of the banquet, it was really the dignitaries and nobles in the whole capital who moved, rode in the carriage, and went to the Zhuangzi of Anqing Wangfu.
Yes, Zhuangzi.
Generally, the banquet is held in his own house, this Anqing Wang Shizi is different, and he actually wants to hold it in Zhuangzi, and it is said that he also went to rebuild Zhuangzi several days in advance.
The flowing silver was spent, and the things of the carriage were transported over, and it was very lively.
This wind of "Prince of Anqing" blew even more violently.
Not only has it not faded away for more than two months, but now the heated discussion is getting louder and louder, and the real - everyone knows.
"Lao Tzu is not going!" Rong Ping said angrily.
Seven days ago, he didn't let him hold any banquet, but Rong Zhao didn't discuss it with him at all, and directly asked people to send the invitation out, which made King Anqing's heart ache, and he ate two more bowls of rice.
When the time for the banquet came, Rong Ping was in a hurry.
He was really angry.
Rong Zhao operated one set after another, and commissioned the Anqing Mansion to roast on the fire.
He had already sorted out the property and was ready to ask Xie Hong to ask the price in advance and sell it to make up the 100,000 taels of silver.
But before that, he needs to teach this unfilial girl a good lesson.
Rong Zhao stood at the door, glanced at her father when he saw this, and bowed his head: "Okay, since my father doesn't want to go, then I won't go, I'll go to entertain guests on my father's behalf." ”
With that, she turned and left.
King Anqing: "??? ”
He was stunned.
Xie Hong and the others were also stunned.
A banquet was held to celebrate the gradual health of King Anqing, but there was no need for King Anqing to be present......
Shizi's operation is really getting more and more bizarre.
However, Rong Zhao had already strode out, obviously for real.
King Anqing, who just wanted to play his temper and pinch Rong Zhao, was stunned.
After a while, he clutched his chest and shouted, "Why don't you change my clothes quickly and go after the world!" ”
- This unfilial girl can definitely do the thing of entertaining guests by herself!
Xie Hong reacted and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”
Are you kidding.
It is a family affair for the prince and the prince to lose their temper, and if outsiders see it, it will be a shame and a big shame.
Therefore, the king of Anqing must be present.
I have to sing the scenes arranged by Rong Zhao.
Outside the house, Rong Zhao walked to the carriage, but did not go up.
She glanced and saw that the man who was setting up the carriage today was the strange boy from before.
Unlike before, he changed into clean clothes.
But he still wears a scarf to cover the lower half of his face, and the broken hair on his forehead covers his eyebrows.
This is a bit strange, but it is ignored because of his small presence.
The two times they met, his sense of existence was extremely small, but Rong Zhao looked at him twice.
I wanted to ask something, but King Anqing came out with a black face, Rong Zhao withdrew his gaze, and said with a smile: "Father, you are here, I congratulate you on your health today, and I will make you happy." ”
- Lao Tzu is not happy at all!
Rong Ping flicked his sleeves with a dark face, and was helped into the carriage by Xie Hong, Rong Zhao was about to help him, but he was thrown away.
This girl came out but didn't leave, making it clear that he would catch up.
How can you be happy to be pinched by Lao Tzu?
The carriage clattered forward, but it was extremely quiet inside.
After a while, Rong Ping couldn't help it and looked at Rong Zhao: "What are you doing this today?" ”
Rong Zhao: "Father, don't worry, you will know when the banquet is over." ”
Rongping is not at all at ease.
With a black face, he couldn't help but ask, it had come to this situation, and the important thing was to finish the show.
He asked with a cold face, "Have you invited the prince?" ”
Rong Zhao shook his head: "Today is Father He's in good health, there is no need to invite the prince." ”
For this kind of unique banquet, it is best to invite people with the same status and slightly worse, and there is no need for a high-class prince to exist.
- Do you want them to celebrate the health of King Anqing?
After a pause, she added: "But I gave the emperor a message, if the emperor wants to join in the fun, it's okay." ”
King Anqing's breath stagnated, his blood surged, and he glared at her: "You are crazy, the emperor must think that you are stupid and stupid when you hold a banquet, and you even take the initiative to speak, for fear that the emperor will not hate you?" ”
