Sitting in the car, Xie Yang asked, "What is the banquet today?"

Song Wenyuan laughed and said, "Today's banquet has two main themes, one is to celebrate your brother, you killed the flower thieves and eliminated the harm for the people of Sichuan and Shu." ”

Xie Yang said, "Brother Song, this is a joke junior brother, this evil group has a huge organization, and the junior brother is lucky to get rid of one person, it really doesn't pose any threat, it is not worth celebrating, so as not to be embarrassed." ”

Song Wenyuan said, "Where is this, my master of Shu joined forces to ambush Mo Tailai, and actually let him escape, and injured a few people, which shows that my brother's martial arts are skillful, and my uncle Song Xuan also praised you." ”

Xie Yang asked, "So what is the second theme?"

Song Wenyuan said, "Chang'an's father-in-law Tian is here."

The dinner is set up in the hall of the Shu Wangfu, the hall of the Shu Wangfu is full of lights, it is very lively, when Xie Yang enters the hall, the guests have not yet arrived, the maids in the house are busy with the dishes, the hall has a total of 24 seats, divided into left and right sides, Song Wenyuan sits in the sixth seat on the left, Xie Yang and Song Wenyuan sit together.

Not long after, the people who participated in the dinner party entered the hall one after another, Xie Yang almost didn't know any of these people, but it was certain that the people who participated must be big people with heads and faces in Bashu, because the names of the guests who came today are too big, Gonggong Tian is a big celebrity around the emperor, and he is the first-class person under one person and above ten thousand people.

The guests seemed to be very familiar and kept talking. The topic is nothing more than a national affair. Song Wenyuan left his seat and stepped forward to say hello one by one.

Xie Yang was born in a poor family, and it was the first time to participate in such a high-level dinner, although Song Wenyuan told him that he was congratulating him on killing the flower thief, but his own family knew his own affairs, and he was a grass person, and it was a great blessing to be able to participate in such a banquet, and it all depended on Song Wenyuan's face, saying that he was congratulating him, I am afraid that he would laugh off the big teeth of the guests.

Xie Yang looked around, the main hall of the Shu Wangfu is about two zhang high, the walls around are surrounded by golden Buman, the wall is hung with twelve large metal wax racks, each wax frame erects eight red Xuanyang candles, the main hall is shining, the light cyan marble paved throughout the main hall looks very noble, a red carpet is directly spread from the door to the end of the main hall, the dining tables on both sides are all pear wood octagonal Daxian tables, and the chairs are small Taishi chairs, which are extremely comfortable to sit on. The dishes on the table are four hot and four cool, full of small plates, the shape of the dishes is very exquisite, in addition to four dishes of pastries, the tableware is a silver bowl and silver chopsticks, the wine glass is a crystal clear luminous cup, the overall layout of the hall is as brilliant as a real palace, when Xie Yang has seen such a scene and luxury, he can't help but sigh at the wealth and fame of the Sichuan Shu Song valve, no wonder everyone is willing to be promoted to become a nobleman, and enjoy a life that ordinary people dare not ask for and fantasize for a lifetime.

While pondering, a young man walked up to Xie Yang's seat and said, "You are Xie Yang who killed the flower thief", the tone of the comer was very arrogant and disdainful, revealing a contempt.

Xie Yang stood up, nodded and said, "It's me, who is Your Excellency?"

The young man said arrogantly, "I am Chang'an Xu Fan, and I am also a person who loves swords, I heard that Brother Xie has superb swordsmanship, and he even killed Motella with a sword, and his hands are very itchy, so I want to have a chance to learn from Brother Xie." ”、

Xie Yang said in his heart that this is a person who is afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong, and he killed the flower thief, which is a matter of course, these valve disciples are all blind and narrow-minded, and they always feel that they are superior to others, and they want to compare themselves with this little person from a poor family, and the words reveal that they killed the flower thief by virtue of the sword, not the attainment of swordsmanship, so he said, "The little brother is just a fluke, it is really not worth mentioning, how dare you compare with Brother Xu." ”

Xu Fan laughed and said, "You know each other, but you remember, those who can participate in this banquet are either rich or expensive, not a little person like you can come, don't think that you will go to the sky if you kill any flower thieves, I don't want to see you next time." With that, he laughed louder and sat down on the other side.

Xie Yang's teeth of hatred trembled, the world is in chaos right now, these noble children don't share worries and solve problems for the country, but they are haunted by such trivial things, no wonder there are uprisings everywhere, and the people are not happy. But he also endured this breath and sat indignantly.

After Xu Fan entered the table, he couldn't stop whispering to the people around him, and the people at the opposite table looked at Xie Yang one after another, pointing fingers, revealing a taste of extreme disdain and contempt.

At this moment, the doorman shouted, "Grandpa Tian has arrived."

The guests in the hall stood up one after another, Xie Yang was no exception, he opened his eyes wide and walked towards the door, only to see a person dressed as a eunuch walking towards the hall, Tian Gong was in his fifties, his cheekbones were very high, his nose was pointed upward, his hair was half white, his body was thin, although he was a father-in-law, his eyes were blazing, there was not too much yin and yang, he looked around, and slowly walked into the hall, giving people a sense of sophistication in power and strategy.

Behind Gonggong Tian was a tall middle-aged man, with good facial features, a lofty spirit, revealing a majesty in the world, this person's eyes were sharp, he glanced at the hall gently, his eyes stayed on Xie Yang, and then he strode into the hall.

Xie Yang has been looking at this person, when this person's eyes are focused on Xie Yang, Xie Yang has a feeling of being seen through by this person, it is a pure intuition of a master, there is no doubt that this person is the first master of Sichuan and Shu, Song Kui, the king of Shu.

Song Kui said, "Please invite your father-in-law to the table."

Tian Gonggong's team is very large, all of them are some cronies from Chang'an, including many nobles and high-ranking officials in Chang'an, Xie Yang saw that Sima Jinyu was also in the accompanying team, Sima Jinyu also saw Xie Yang, glanced at his lips, and turned his gaze elsewhere.

People on the left and right said "Tian Gonggong" one after another.

Father-in-law Tian smiled without saying a word, waved his hand gently, signaling that everyone did not need to be polite, and with the support of the two little fathers-in-law, he sat down on the right chief.

Song Kui, the king of Shu, sat on the left chief, and the arrangement of the seats was very particular, and two rows of seats were set up without a middle seat, showing great respect for the guests. The two sides began to sit down, Xie Yang looked at them one by one, and when he saw the fifth seat, he suddenly felt a sound of "Weng" in his head, his brain was blank, and he was hit hard by a big stone, and he lost control in an instant.

On the opposite side is a beautiful and amazing beauty, sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a pale green long skirt, wearing a short embroidered vest, the cuffs are slightly rolled up, looking loose and rich, the goose-egg-like face is embedded with a pair of bright big eyes, shining and clear like jewels, the tip of the nose is slightly raised, small and smart, the figure can be described as finely crafted, the waist of Ying Ying is slender and soft, and the slender legs are rolled under the skirt, which sets off her tall figure, so good-looking, The matching of body and clothing makes the whole person like a masterpiece of God, and the beauty is impeccable. Her beauty was like a storm, and Xie Yang lost himself in this storm.

Xie Yang only felt that she was the only one left in the world.

Song Kui, the king of Shu, said loudly, "Today, Gonggong Tian and his entourage came to Sichuan and Shu to inspect the people's conditions and have compassion on all living beings. ”

The people raised their glasses and drank them all, and the maid immediately came to pour the wine.

Xie Yang also drank it all, he hadn't recovered from the loss just now, after the wine was down, with the help of the wine gall, he secretly glanced at this beauty, not daring to look directly. The beauty also took a sip of wine, slowly put down the wine glass, and looked extremely elegant.

Tian Gong said fairly, "The king of Shu smiled, how can our family have any right to observe the people's feelings, it is nothing more than the wisdom of the saints, thinking of the people of Sichuan and Shu, but the state affairs are busy, and they can't get out, so they specially order our family to implement it on their behalf."

The king of Shu shouted, "The saint is wise, I only thank the saint for the grace of the dragon on behalf of the people of Sichuan and Shu." With that, he quickly knelt down and bowed three times to the north.

Tian Gong said fairly, "The king of Shu does not have to be polite, the saint learned that it is extremely difficult for the king of Shu to govern Sichuan and Shu, and he is loyal, and he specially ordered the miscellaneous family to give the king of Shu a song and dance troupe to show the merits of the king of Shu." ”

In fact, the King of Shu is not the real prince, but the title of martial arts. However, at the time of the Anshi Rebellion, the ancestors of the Song family have been very famous in Shuzhong, after the fall of Chang'an, he first went north to receive the emperor into Shu, and it was the strength of the family to recruit troops and horses to resist the rebels, after quelling the chaos, he was arranged by Tang Xuanzong to govern the three places of Sichuan and Shu, and it was followed from generation to generation, and the rivers and lakes were called the Song family of the king of Shu, and it was a first-class aristocratic valve.

Song Kui bowed three times again.

Father-in-law Tian clapped his hands, and a song and dance troupe of more than 20 people slowly walked into the main hall, and more than ten people stood on the right side of the hall, and they were the musicians of the song and dance troupe.

The members of the song and dance troupe are all beautiful women, wearing blue woven yarn long skirts, through the thin gauze material, so that the arms and **** of the beauties can be seen at a glance, and many viewers are very excited. Since Tang Xuanzong Li Longji succeeded to the throne, he has always respected the entertainment culture of this palace gate, and dance and music performances have also become a kind of entertainment for the valve nobles, and it has been widely spread, and many noble children have become accustomed to it. This time it is obviously more high-end, it is the dance troupe of the palace, which is richer in quality and content, especially the beauty dance troupe, which is even more eye-catching, and everyone is tired of it, and everyone is physically and mentally entertained to watch.

Xie Yang is not interested in this, now that the national disaster is at hand, these rulers from top to bottom don't want to get rid of internal and external troubles, but they sing songs every night, which is really against the Taoist concept of quiet and inaction, but he is a small person, and he can't change anything. There was a sense of pride in his heart, the aristocratic valve was too rotten, look at all the men here, they were enjoying the warmth and pleasure in singing and dancing, including Song Kui, the king of Shu, who was also enjoying it, what they wanted was to maintain their wealth and status for eternity, and they didn't care about the life and death of the people at all.

Thinking of this, he sighed lightly, picked up his glass and drank it down.

Song Wenyuan was not in the mood to watch the dance, he secretly thought about the purpose of Tian Gonggong's trip, in fact, the Song family has not had much contact with the imperial court in recent years, and he is clear about the affairs of the Song family, his father Song Kui has always hoped to open up relations with the imperial court and continue to consolidate the Song family's hegemony in Sichuan and Shu. In recent years, due to the situation of the world, the Song family has been biased towards Anchuan and Shu, and has no longer regained the hegemony of the Tang Xuanzong era, and the influence of the rivers and lakes is declining. In the past six months, the evil group has targeted the rich merchants of Bashu, both stealing and looting, and **** women, but the Song family is helpless, so that the Song family's status in the rivers and lakes is not as good as before. He glanced at his father secretly, his heart full of worry.

Another reason why Xie Yang danced unintentionally was that the impact of this beauty on him just now was too great, he had been breaking the Dao Temple since he was a child, when had he seen such a fairy-like beauty, the secret channel valve was good at everything, even the woman was also as beautiful as the sky Haoyue, he couldn't help but look at this beauty.

It just so happened that the beautiful woman was also looking at him, and Xie Yang turned his head in fright. The beauty smiled shallowly and blushed. Xie Yang glanced down and looked in his eyes.

The beauty has been observing Xie Yang for a long time, in this materialistic era, it is really rare to be able to see the singing and dancing beauties, all the men present are intoxicated with wine and beauties, but he is alone, it is indeed rare to see, it is enough to show that he is full of determination and ambitious, compared to these noble children, it is indeed different. Seeing him staring at himself, it was really meaningful, and he also understood his friendship for him, and immediately blushed, but she was everyone's lady and did not show her feet.

Several people were pondering, and suddenly applause rang out, it turned out that the performance was over, and everyone applauded, excited for this fragrant performance.

Song Kui said, "This song and dance troupe is really different, I also plan to make my own drama ugly, now it seems that it has been done many times, it is really small in comparison, thank you for the generous gift of the saint and the father-in-law." ”

Tian Gonggong smiled and said, "A few months ago, the Goryeo Kingdom rebelled, the Holy Commander ordered the Yanjing Festival to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and the rebellion was quelled in only five months. With that, there was a laugh that all men know.

Everyone looked at the leading dancers of a few beauties, which were indeed full of charm, I saw pity, and they were different.

Song Kui hurriedly thanked him again.

Between the nobles, it is common to give beautiful women to each other, and it is even more common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and women without status are like gold, silver, jewelry and horses, which are a symbol of noble status.
