Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, invited Shen Xi, the new governor of Yansui, to the mansion for a banquet, but Zhang Heling did not come out himself, but just asked his younger brother Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, to preside over the banquet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Shen Xi's practice banquet, Zhang Yanling came up and asked Shen Xi, which couldn't help but make the scene tense and embarrassing.

The host's family and the guests are incompatible, and since they don't deal with each other, they barely get together together, so that everyone present doesn't know what to do, so they can only pretend that they haven't heard anything, and neither side helps each other.

Song Shu was worried that Shen Xi and Zhang Yanling would tear their faces in a single game, and as a person who could talk to both sides, he came forward to make peace: "Master Hou, Shen Junmen, everything is easy to discuss, and they are both serving the country, so why stalemate?" You might as well drink first, and I believe that Shou Ninghou will attend later! ”

The matter started because of Song Shu, and Song Shu had to stand up and speak even if he was stubborn, otherwise both sides would hate him and find it difficult to deal with themselves.

But even these painless words still caused Zhang Yanling to look at him angrily.

In Zhang Yanling's opinion, what kind of thing is your Song book? It's just a dog who acts on orders, and how dare to help outsiders come against me?

Originally, Zhang Yanling looked at Shen Xi with an angry gaze, but Song Shu pulled the hatred value over with a word, Zhang Yanling's general idea was that Shen Xi, who was about to lead the troops to the northwest, was regarded as a "dead man", so there was no need to worry about Shen Xi in general, and Song Shu, as a general who stayed in the capital, took the initiative to jump out and dilute the mud, which is absolutely intolerable.

Just when the scene was full of gunpowder, Shen Xi suddenly picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and then raised the wine glass high, and said with a smile:

"Guys, why don't you drink first? Tomorrow will go to the northwest...... This is not only a practice banquet in the next, or maybe a parting banquet, and there may not be a chance to drink with you in the future, so do it first in the next respect! ”

At this time, Shen Xi deliberately did not mention Zhang Yanling, and did not toast the master first, Shen Xi's intention to draw a line with the Zhang brothers was very obvious.

No one at the table dared to pick up the wine glass, just watched Shen Xi drink the wine, and then looked at Zhang Yanling sideways to see how he reacted.

At this time, Zhang Yanling's face was full of haze, he squinted at Shen Xi, his body trembled slightly, and he obviously moved his liver fire.

Shen Xi didn't care at all, and when he finished drinking three glasses of self-punishment, Shi Shiran put down the wine glass, as if talking to himself:

"Since the Marquis of Shouning is entangled in official business, it is inconvenient to bother more, and he will go out of the city to the barracks early tomorrow morning, this trip is far away, and he needs to go back as soon as possible to prepare, if he is lucky enough to meet with you in the future, he will drink again. Leave! ”

The generals present, including Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the prison army, were all dumbfounded.

Even if Shen Xi is now the governor of Yansui, he is just a minister, a courtier of the Son of Heaven, who dares to throw his face at Uncle Guo so blatantly?

Even Zhang Mao, Ma Wensheng, and Liu Jian, even if they look down on the Zhang brothers, they will not put the contradictions on the table, but choose to ignore them.

Shen Xi turned his face in public in the Shouning Marquis Mansion, and directly made the Marquis of Jianchang unable to come to the stage.

"Wait!"

Zhang Yanling slapped the table, shouted, stood up and glared at Shen Xi.

Everyone saw that Zhang Yanling was angry, but no one dared to persuade him, in fact, no one needed to persuade him, although Shen Xi's status in the court was not as good as Zhang Yanling, but now in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Shen Xi's importance is obviously higher than Zhang Yanling.

Shen Xi will lead the troops to the expedition in the coming day, he is the governor of Yansui ordered by the emperor, the emperor cannot slap himself in the face again and again, no matter how muddy Zhang Yanling is, he will definitely not do anything to Shen Xi at such a time.

However, Zhang Yanling is a person who is impulsive and reckless, he now hates to immediately dismantle Shen Xi, who has lost his face, even if he can't, he should let Shen Xi go to prison, it is easy to go in and difficult to get out, and after coming out, he will be crippled if he does not die, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But Shen Xi didn't seem to realize that he had offended Zhang Yanling, who was bound to be avenged, so he arched his hand slightly, and asked with a smile: "Marquis Jianchang, what's the matter?" ”

"It's fine!"

Zhang Yanling endured it for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Ben Hou originally had some gifts, but since Shen Zhongcheng was in a hurry to go back, then Ben Hou gave them here...... Come on, send Shen Zhongcheng out of the house! ”

"Yes."

Immediately, a servant from the Hou Ning Mansion came in, stood beside Shen Xi, and made a gesture of "please".

Zhang Yong saw that this situation was not right, and shouted in his heart: "Could this Shen Zhuangyuan be evil?" How dare you go against Uncle Guo? I followed Shen Zhuangyuan to attend the banquet, if he left me and didn't leave, wouldn't he be asking for trouble? Immediately hurriedly said: "Master Hou, generals, the old slave is not strong enough to drink, so I will leave...... Leave! ”

didn't get a drop of wine, Zhang Yong actually said that he was not strong enough to drink, needless to say that he was afraid of getting into trouble and was ready to slip away.

The rest of the generals looked at it, yo, this Longtan tiger's den can't wait, but this is the Shouning Marquis Mansion, and they are the generals of the Beijing camp, so they can't just talk about walking like Shen Xi and Zhang Yong, otherwise they will have to wear small shoes in the future.

Zhang Yanling thought to himself: "My brother asked me to stabilize the kid surnamed Shen, but he blew his nose and glared at me when he came up, and now he takes the initiative to leave, it's really infuriating!" But it's okay, it's better that this guy dies in the northern frontier, and then he never has to see this hateful face again. As for those stunning dancing girls who look like fairies, aren't they mine? ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanling's heart finally balanced a little, because he remembered that Zhang Heling was going to use wine and wealth to collect Shen Xi, since Shen Xi didn't know each other, then these good things could be saved.

Zhang Yanling said: "Come on, send Father-in-law Zhang and Shen Zhongcheng out of the house!" ”

In the title, Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, deliberately put Shen Xi behind a eunuch, which probably means that Shen Xi, the governor of Yansui, is not even comparable to Zhang Yong's status, so as to deliberately disgust people.

Shen Xi didn't mind this kind of attack, and strode towards the gate of the Hou Mansion, Zhang Yong still followed behind Shen Xi, probably wanting to use Shen Xi as his shield.

Until they left the house, no one came out to stop Shen Xi and Zhang Yong.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, waiting for the heavy door behind him to close, Zhang Yong breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Lord Shen, what are you doing here?" In the dark streets and alleys, Zhang Yongwu patted his chest with fear, "You just received the imperial order to go on the expedition last night, and the old slave also learned that he would join the army not long ago, so you will ...... Offend Shou Ninghou, the soldiers under your command are all soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp! ”

Zhang Yong painstakingly explained a truth to Shen Xi: The generals and soldiers and horses you led on the expedition were all from the command of the Marquis of Shouning, and now you offend your relatives and brothers, aren't you asking for trouble?

Shen Xi sincerely bowed his hand: "I didn't expect to stumble with Jianchang Hou in words, which made Gonggong Zhang worried." In the next step, I will not cause trouble for Grandpa Zhang along the way...... We will lead the troops on the road smoothly tomorrow, and return safely in a few months, hoping to share the honor and disgrace with Zhang Gonggong along the way! ”

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head, he wanted to say, you called me to the Shouning Marquis Mansion, and offended the Marquis of Jianchang in person, everyone knows that the Marquis of Jianchang is a person who must be compared, he thinks that I am with you, and now I don't share the honor and disgrace with you, is there any other choice?

"Lord Shen, you can ...... Don't toss the old slave, the old slave is just an old bone, I hope to live in peace, this is half a person in the ground, you leave a way for the old slave to live, the old slave is here to thank you first. ”

After Zhang Yong finished saluting, he got into the carriage specially prepared for him in the distance and left.

Yun Bo had been waiting outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, but he didn't expect Shen Xi to come out so quickly, and while bringing a stool to Shen Xi, he asked puzzledly: "Master, what's wrong with you...... This is coming out? ”

"This place, I don't want to stay long for a moment, go back to the house, I have to get up early tomorrow morning, but there should be a Beijing camp guard to see him off at that time, you don't have to get up early." Shen Xi confessed.

"Master, you better let me give you a ride, you go on this expedition, miss...... Madame is not here, after you leave, there is no one to take care of in the capital, and the ladies don't know when they will come back, and I don't know how to explain to the ladies at that time! ”

Yun Bo didn't expect that Shen Xi would go on another expedition soon after he came back, and he was very nervous, because his current glory was brought about by Shen Xi's rapid rise in the court after the marriage between the Xie family and the Shen family.

If Shen Xi has three longs and two shorts in the northwest, then the Shen family and the Xie family will inevitably have the fate of the West Mountain at sunset, and he, the Shen family's housekeeper with infinite scenery, will naturally not be able to do it.

Shen Xi sighed: "The emperor's order is hard to disobey, the letters left for your young lady and other people in the family are all placed on the desk in the study, and when they come back, remember to ask them to take them out and read them." Tell them, don't worry about me, this trip to the northwest, I am going to make contributions, not to die. On the day I return, the marquis will be just around the corner! ”

"Yes, master, you are so capable at a young age, the whole Daming, who can match you!" Yun Bo smiled bitterly and said with a compliment, but in fact, his heart was full of trepidation and fear. (To be continued.) )
