Chapter 174: The Night Banquet

"Dot, dot, eh...... Wait, this hangs a little crookedly, right up! down...... Go up, okay!"

"What? There are not enough red candles? I still have to teach this? Why don't you hurry up and ask someone to buy it? Do you know why you can't be a housekeeper? Just don't use your brains!"

The sky has not completely darkened, but the people of the Sun Mansion are already busy, the red lanterns that were originally only hung out on festivals have been wiped off by the people of the Sun Mansion, from the gate of the Sun Mansion to the corridor of the mansion to the courtyard, everywhere is a fiery red, even the lips of the maids who come and go in a hurry are as red as if they are smeared with rouge.

The housekeeper is fifty and six this year, and he has grown up in the Sun Mansion since he was a child, and he is already an out-and-out "old man" in the Sun Mansion.

Like the Sun family, such a famous family, very particular about qualifications, the previous housekeeper is the Sun family's old man Sun Zhong's companion, it is said that Sun Zhong and Sun Zhong are even called "brothers" in private, but they are too old and overworked, this year they suffer from some disease, dementia and can't speak, so he can sit in this seemingly subordinate person is actually more noble than some Beijing officials.

The carriages at the door were one after another, and the sedan chairs were one after another. He looked at the scene at the gate, and muttered this in his mouth in a low voice: "Lord Jia Zhenggui has arrived, Lord Wu Chongxi has arrived......"

He knew what kind of weight these names contained, and tonight, it could be said that as long as there were officials with heads and faces in the Jingwu court, they would come to Sun's Mansion for a banquet.

But instead of begging for a cup of congratulatory wine, it is better to say that they came to show their respect to the Sun family.

The Sun family was already one of the best families in Wu back then, and after the establishment of Jingwu, Sun Zhong, as one of Zhuge Wanling's supporters, led the Sun family to become the hottest family in Jingwu.

From the officials of Jianye Dadu to the local officials, among the officials of all sizes, I don't know how many of them were born in the Sun family, and the Sun family also relied on this power to have their power in the court that was almost like a mountain.

Today it was Sun Ji'an who stood at the door to greet the guests in person, and these important people approached Sun Ji'an as soon as they got off the sedan chair, and their faces were filled with bright smiles: "Lord Sun, congratulations." ”

"Ling Lang is in the limelight today, and in the future Jingwu's military circles, Ling Lang will inevitably be a new star. ”

Sun Ji'an bowed his head humbly, smiled at everyone and responded: "Thank you, first in, first in......"

The subordinate standing beside him was also full of smiles, and bent down to show his respect, while receiving the heavy gifts from everyone, he said with joy: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me." ”

"General!" Sun Ji'an looked up, and suddenly laughed, the red lantern reflected the neat robe on his body red, and he took the initiative to step forward, "I thought you refused to appreciate the light this time, and I felt a little uncomfortable." ”

Gao Changgong was dressed in white, walking calmly and gently in the night, the light of the red lantern did not fall on his shoulders, and his cheeks still seemed to be shining in the dark.

The "God of War" in the heart of this Jingwu woman seems to look like a celestial man at any time, making people wonder if he is just an illusory illusion.

He didn't come in a sedan chair or a carriage, but paced in front of Sun Mansion step by step like a commoner, but even so, no one would think that his status was not noble enough.

The Gao family is a very powerful family among the scholars, although it is low-key compared to other scholars, but when they really plan to do something, they will burst out with unimaginable power.

But Sun Ji'an also knew that he couldn't completely bind the Jingwu God of War in front of him to the Gao family.

Gao Changgong is Gao Changgong, and the Gao family is the Gao family, the two may be intertwined, but behind Gao Changgong stands Zhuge Wanling, the ...... A person that even the nobles can't suppress.

Before Jing Wu was established, Zhuge Wanling in their eyes was just a gang leader, even if he had some strength in his hands, he was worthy of being fought for by the scholars, but after all, he was just a cloth cloth.

And Gao Changgong is the number one gentleman of the Gao family, and his biggest preference is to travel around and appreciate the customs and customs of various places.

But they would never have imagined that these two people, when they joined forces, would be able to establish such immortal feats.

"Lord Sun. Gao Changgong walked under the red lantern, and the red light suddenly reflected on his white clothes, like a blood stain that could not be wiped off, which made Sun Ji'an immediately think of today's military exercise, the neighing of the war horse and the shouting of killing when the blade was handed over seemed to be still lingering in his ears.

He was inexplicably nervous in his heart, how Gao Changgong became the general of Jingwu and the Great Sima, he, a participant back then, naturally knew very well.

At that time, the state of Wu was torn apart, and the state of Tang watched coldly, and by the way, he sent people to quietly intervene and provoke a fight between various small countries, so as to weaken their power.

The purpose of this is obvious, when the internal forces of Wu are exhausted in the continuous civil strife, the Tang State, which is closest to Jing Wu, can justifiably go south in the name of "quelling the chaos and protecting the people" and occupy this heaven-sent land.

Therefore, when it was learned that the scholars of Wu had united to establish Jing Wu, Tang was so angry and wanted to directly send troops south to attack Jing Wu.

But with Gao Changgong leading the eight thousand Qingzhou ghost horses to sweep through the territory of Tang State, Jing Wu's foundation can be regarded as stable, and Tang Guo can only pinch his nose and admit this matter.

"Sun Qing's performance in the military exercise today can be described as outstanding, there is about to be such a young general in the army, how can I not come?" Gao Changgong said with a slight smile.

Sun Ji'an's expression changed on his face, and he actually showed a somewhat flattered look, and arched his hand: "Where is this, the dog is still young, and many things depend on one person's likes and dislikes, regardless of the overall situation." After he joined the army, he had to be supported by the general. ”

He was referring to Sun Qing's move of abandoning the military flag and chasing Abu during the military exercise today, and when he said this, he was undoubtedly testing whether Gao Changgong would have something to do with Sun Qing because of this incident.

Gao Changgong shrugged his shoulders: "It's not unusual to be young and frivolous, if a young man looks forward and backward like an old man, it will be boring." After thinking about it, he said again: "Think about it, I was also a prodigal back then, and I was scolded by my father a lot......"

"Old Man Gao must be proud of the general now. Sun Ji'an was relieved and pursed his lips and chuckled.

The army is no better than the Sun family, and today's Jingwu Army can be said to be the world of Gao Changgong alone, since Gao Changgong said so, Sun Qing's future will also be guaranteed.

"Master Sun is wrong about this, I am still the one who annoys my father the most. Gao Changgong smiled heartily, "I didn't have a family with Master Sun, it's not that I have any prejudice against the Sun family, it's just a word of love, it's really hard to say." ”

Sun Ji'an was stunned at first, and then also laughed, there was something about the Gao family's "urging marriage", he was one of the leaders in it, although he also hoped that his family could marry Gao Changgong, but he also knew that there were some things that could not be forced, and Sun Zhong later objected to this family matter, and he didn't take it to heart.

"Then I'll have to listen to the general's love words. ”

From business to private affairs, some of the estrangement between the two people has melted like ice and snow, although the smile between the two can hardly be said to be ten percent sincere, but they supported each other into the gate of the Sun Mansion, looking like old friends for many years, ordinary people can't tell that these two people actually belong to different camps.
