Chapter 116: The State Banquet
What Xu Xiang didn't know was that his home was the time for a good show to open the floodgates.
"Linyu and Master Liu come in first, Master Qu and I have been waiting for a long time. Xu Xingcheng also said after bringing Fang Liangping and Liu Yutian into the mansion at the door.
"Guogong, I, a cheeky person, just came over to ask for a glass of water and wine. Liu Yutian also saluted Xu Xingcheng.
"Lord Liu is polite, you are the person I Xu Xingcheng may not be able to invite if I want to. Xu Xingcheng also smiled and brought Liu Yutian and Fang Liangping to the dining room, where they had already prepared food.
Qu Wan sat on the table and only nodded lightly when he saw the three of them coming, after all, Qu Wan was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and compared to Fang Liang, the three of them were there. Therefore, when meeting the three of them, they don't have to worry too much about these things.
However, Fang Liangping and Liu Yutian looked at each other and saluted Qu Wan respectfully: "Fang Liangping (Liu Yutian) has seen Master Qu. ”
"You two get me up quickly. Qu Wan also glared at them and said, "Don't you sit down to eat, let me wait for you for so long, you are embarrassed?"
Fang Liangping also sat down with Liu Yutian after standing up and said, "Master Qu, after all, he is a person who has been the first assistant, so he naturally has this mind. ”
"You kid, after so many years, this mouth is still so powerful. Qu Wan also shook his head with a smile.
"Haha, I'm afraid there are few people in the Ming Dynasty who can call Fang Liangping a kid. Xu Xingcheng also said when he saw Fang Liangping eating deflated.
"I can only bear Lord Qu calling me a kid, after all, I am also half a disciple of Lord Qu. Fang Liangping also skipped the conversation with a smile.
"When he was a sergeant officer, he was assigned to me. Qu Wan also made this topic clear.
"I see. Xu Xingcheng also said with a sense of enlightenment, "Okay, since everyone is together, let's eat." ”
"Xingcheng, don't worry. Qu Wan also pressed his hand and said, "Liangping, you better make it clear, I feel that Nanjing will not be peaceful recently, what is the prince doing when he goes back?"
Fang Liangping also smiled when he heard this, and said: "Master Qu, I have this, there is a fake and a true, and there is a true and a fake, you can choose one yourself." ”
"Hahaha, that's interesting. You kid give me a trick. Qu Wan also said with a smile, "Old man, I don't pay attention to you, I want to listen to the truth." ”
"Shang Fang's sword is in my hand. Fang Liangping also said this lightly.
"What!" Xu Xingcheng was taken aback by Fang Liangping's words.
"I see. Qu Wan is also an old man, and he understood a lot in one sentence, and he continued to ask, "The prince is still in a hurry, but Your Majesty should have arranged everything." ”
"It's not beautiful for the prince to delay, but now it looks like something has really happened to His Majesty. Fang Liangping also poured himself a glass of wine and said.
Xu Xingcheng still wanted to ask something, but unexpectedly, a guy walked in and wanted to whisper to Xu Xingcheng, which also annoyed Xu Xingcheng and said: "It's not that I said, don't bother me with small things." Besides, who is here that you can't listen to?
"Yes, sir. His Royal Highness King Fu has come down, and now he is outside the door. The little guy also said.
Xu Xingcheng also frowned when he heard this, but Fang Liangping calmed down a lot and said, "Since His Royal Highness King Fu has come down, let's go and greet him." ”
"You two boys can't do it, the people of King Fu can't get rid of it. Qu Wan also glanced at Fang Liangping and said.
"You can't blame me for this, do you really dare to spy on the Guogong Mansion when King Fu is the king?" Fang Liangping also said with an innocent face.
"What Liang Ping said is true?" Qu Wan also looked at Xu Xingcheng and asked.
"That's true, but it's too much to say that the surveillance is a bit excessive, but I do have a few people here who are keeping an eye on King Fu. Xu Xingcheng also said embarrassedly.
"Bold!" Qu Wan also said with a tiger eye.
"Alright, my lord, let's welcome King Fu in first, but don't let King Fu wait in a hurry. Fang Liangping was the first to walk out of the dining room after speaking. Xu Xingcheng also said after a tone: "You go to the main hall to clean up, bring us tea, and find two clever maids to serve us, can you write it down?"
"Yes, the minion will do it right away. "That little guy also went to arrange it in a hurry.
After a few people also spoke for a while, they walked to the door with Fang Liangping, because King Fu was visiting privately, and Xu Xingcheng opened the middle door to Zhu Youtan last time just to give the emperor face, so for this King Fu, Xu Xingcheng planned to just open the side door to show respect.
After all, it was in the Guogong Mansion, so several people also stood behind Xu Xingcheng one after another, watching Xu Xingcheng's arrangement. Didn't Xu Xingcheng open the side door, Zhu Jianshen was also annoyed when he saw that it was a side door, because he knew that Fang Liangping opened the main door when he accompanied Zhu Youtan last time, which made Zhu Jianshen feel that he was despised, but when he thought of the purpose of his coming today, he also smiled and walked towards Xu Xingcheng.
"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness King Fu. Xu Xingcheng also saluted.
"Hey, where can I afford the great gift of the country, let's go inside. King Fu also stepped forward and rubbed Xu Xingcheng and said.
"This is His Highness Nature please. Xu Xingcheng also raised his hand and said.
Zhu Jianshen also walked into the mansion with Xu Xingcheng, and when he saw Fang Liang and others, Zhu Jianshen was also very surprised and said: "Lord Fang, Lord Qu, Lord Liu." Coincidentally, I'm here to see Wei Guogong, I don't want to meet many pillars of my Ming Dynasty. ”
"Chenden has seen His Royal Highness King Fu. Fang Liang is also a salute.
"Everyone, please get up. Zhu Jianshen also smiled and held Fang Liang and others up. The group walked towards the main hall.
"Your Highness, please take a seat. Xu Xingcheng also led King Fu to the first place.
When Zhu Jianshen sat down, everyone also sat down one by one according to their ranks. "I don't know, my lords today, what's the matter with coming to Guogong. "Fang Liangping also said secretly: 'It's better to pretend to be confused, your royal people are really more powerful than the other. Thinking about it, Fang Liangping also smiled and said: "Your Highness is also interesting, a few days ago, Guogong's subordinates caught a wild boar in the suburbs, so they gathered a few of us to eat game." ”
Zhu Jianshen also said in his heart: 'Fang Liangping, are you fooling the ghost?' but he also said with a smile: "Hey, so the Lone King is still disturbing your meal, it really shouldn't be." And the crowd said that it was okay to uncover the words.
At this time, just in time to close the city gate at night, a horse and a carriage also galloped into the city gate. Looking at the carriage and horses speeding by, a recruit also asked the veteran: "I said, brother, these two are so unstoppable." ”
