Under the careful care of the little divine doctor of the Holy Hand, three days later, the fifth prince finally recovered from his illness and went out, as for the reason for going out, it was because she received a gilded invitation to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the payer was: Third Son!
The three sons are not one person, but three people, the three sons who were born in a famous family in Xuzhou, are Chen Su, Cao Hong, and Mi Wei!
Among the three people, Chen Su is the son of Guangling Taishou Chen Deng, Cao Hong is the son of Cao Bao, the first general of Xuzhou, Mi Wei is one of the three major chaebols, the son of Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, for a long time, these three families, one is the main government, one main army, one main wealth, firmly control the real power of Xuzhou, the sons of the three families are also the dragon and phoenix among the people, young and handsome, so they were publicly promoted by the Xuzhou scholars as the three sons, and they were romantic!
This banquet was organized by the three of them, and the banquet was also attended by the sons of various families in Xuzhou, used to exchange feelings and discuss things, which is also the rule of the gate valves.
Zhen Mi came here from Hebei, if he wants to open up the trade route as soon as possible, he must integrate into the local scholar circle, and participating in this banquet and getting to know the three princes of Xuzhou is undoubtedly the best way!
At that moment, Zhen Mi sat in his own horse incense car, accompanied by the maid Xiaozhu, and Zhaocai and Jinbao were responsible for the guards, naturally Xiao Yi drove the car, and the group drove towards the Baihuatai outside the city!
For this banquet, Xiao Yi's heart is also full of expectations, if you want to control Xuzhou, you must control these scholars, through this hundred flowers banquet, understand the situation inside the scholars, it is no better, know yourself and know your opponent, kill people, in order to leave a good place!
The tradition of the Hundred Flowers Banquet has a long history, held once every three years, it is very famous in Xuzhou, the day is set at the turn of spring and summer, when the flowers are in full bloom, the sons of the family will gather in the Baihuatai in the east of the city, take out the various exotic flowers and plants cultivated by themselves for people to watch, compete for beauty, and select a pot of flowers!
In addition, the beauties of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in Xuzhou will also run to participate in the banquet, they will wear the most gorgeous costumes, and perform all kinds of wonderful songs and dances, to make the nobles laugh, and then choose an Oiran from them!
The final finale program is the poetry competition, those sons of the family show their skills, each with the talent in the belly of the competition, the final winner, not only can get the title of Xuzhou's first talent, but also get two Oiran as a reward, one flower, one person, both wealth!
Such a good thing, naturally no one wants to miss it, so on the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, countless luxury vehicles flocked from all directions, Zhen Mi's horse incense car was mixed in it, and it couldn't be ranked at all.
As for the person responsible for pulling the car, in addition to all kinds of horses, there are also green oxen, white sheep, yellow camels, the most amazing guy, even found twenty-four girls in Tsing Yi, each with a leather rope, pulling the vehicle forward, and he was not afraid to tire the girls!
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!"
Looking at the scenes along the way, and thinking about the situation of those coastal poor, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the gap between the lives of the scholars and the Hanmen is so big, it would be strange if the two could coexist peacefully, this world should be chaotic, and only after the chaos can it be ruled greatly!
Baihuatai is fifteen miles east of the city, surrounded by hills and valleys, lush, see the stream murmuring from afar, listen to the birds singing closely, the scenery is picturesque and beautiful, let people revel in it unconsciously, but it is a good place to gather!
The pavilion is built on a natural small earth mountain, after artificial repair, it is divided into three floors, there are many pavilions built on it, the middle is connected by a corridor, covering a vast area, enough to accommodate hundreds of people in this banquet, the base of the rock is covered with moss, and there are blue vines climbing on it, it looks pleasant in spring, close to nature!
The arrival of the five sons of the Zhen family naturally caused a sensation, and the children of the scholars who had already arrived came out to greet them, led by the famous three sons of Xuzhou!
Three people, lined up, are all personable, good appearance, walking in the middle is Chen Su, in his early twenties, dressed in white, with a golden crown and plain belt, in terms of appearance, he is seven points similar to Chen Deng, who is known as the old fox, in other words, this is a little fox, the most cunning and wise, known as the head of the three sons, so he walked in the middle position!
On the left hand side is Cao Hong, twenty-five or sixteen years old, burly, narrow arrow sleeves, wearing an ink-colored samurai uniform, waist horizontal sword, Cao family hairpins for generations, most of the children have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and when they grow up, they basically enter the army to serve, so they are quite influential in the military system in Xuzhou!
On the right hand side is Mi Wei, only eighteen years old, medium height, long robe with big sleeves, always with a warm smile on his face, before the words come out, laughter comes first, he is a very sunny character, but his eyes are radiant, and he is a calculating person at first glance!
"The five princes are here, and I am honored to wait for the Xuzhou scholars!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, the three of them strode forward to greet them, scrambling, and no one refused to lag behind half a step!
Unlike those ignorant people, as children of the family and well-informed, they know that the fifth prince sitting in the incense car is actually a Xibei goods, not a man at all, but one, and now most of the Zhen family's industries are under her control, to be honest, if anyone marries this fifth son, it is equivalent to hugging a mountain of gold, and he will not be able to enjoy it for a lifetime!
"Two virtuous brothers, please respect yourself!
After only a few steps, Chen Su whispered a warning to the two companions, although they are both the three major gates of Xuzhou, but the Chen family has succeeded in political speculation twice in a row, and now occupies the position of Guangling Taishou, which can be described as the sky, so he has the capital to say this!
"Humph! Hum! “
With two dissatisfied cold snorts, Cao Hong and Mi Wei glanced at each other, but they had to slow down, the situation was not as good as others, even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only endure this breath!
Chen, Cao, and Mi were originally side by side, in charge of Xuzhou's political, military, and financial powers, but during the first Xuzhou War, Cao Bao, the head of the Cao family, that is, the so-called first general in Xuzhou, was killed by Xiao Yiyi, and even the head was taken away and made into a skeleton, and the Cao family could only carve a head with sandalwood and bury the body together, which became a big joke in the Xuzhou scholar circle, and then Xuzhou changed hands one after another, the original army system was completely broken, and the power of the Cao family also plummeted!
The situation of the Mi family is similar, the full investment in Liu Bei failed, and was completely squeezed out of the administrative circle of Xuzhou, even the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were forcibly coerced to Xuchang to be a public servant, and now the family has no leader, and the huge industry is facing the danger of falling apart and being carved up, and the situation is also not optimistic!
But then again, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, after all, it is a famous family that has existed for hundreds of years, and it has a profound heritage, although it has encountered some difficulties now, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, or find strong foreign aid, there is no time for the salted fish to turn over!
For example, there is a great opportunity in front of him, the Hebei Zhen family, the head of the three major chaebols in the world, and works closely with the Hebei overlord Yuan Shao, who has infiltration in both military and political circles, with a hard background, deep roots, and a bulging money bag, it is definitely a first-class force!
If you can take the opportunity to please this fifth son, or even win her heart, and then marry, then you can fight a beautiful turnaround battle and make your family make a comeback, so Cao Hong and Mi Wei will never let go, they can't fight on the surface, won't we work hard in secret, don't forget the old saying: The one who enters the customs first may not be the king, see who has the last laugh!
The three little wolf cubs stared at the little lamb in the incense cart at the same time, dreaming of a full meal, but they didn't expect that beside the little lamb, there was still a colorful tiger, and now they were staring at the three snacks delivered to the door!
"Brothers, you are polite, the younger brother came all the way from Hebei, thanks to the love, I am fortunate to participate in the banquet of a hundred flowers, I am grateful!" As soon as the car door opened, accompanied by the maid Xiaozhu, Zhen Mi walked out slowly, smiling and saluting!
In order to participate in today's banquet, she also deliberately dressed up, wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, wearing a pure white aristocratic princess dress, a lion belt around her waist, and a nine-eyed exquisite jade pendant hanging on it, which is worth a thousand gold at a glance.
Although he is still dressed in men's clothes, compared with a few days ago, the temperament of the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.
But after Xiao Yi's nourishment in the past few days, there is only one point left of Zhen Da Beauty's heroic spirit, and the remaining nine points have all become charming, happy, and sweet, coupled with the light pace and the spring breeze on her face, no one knows that she is a woman dressed as a man, and she is also a happy little woman!
"Wow! Tick Tick Boom! Roar! ”
It was originally a national color and natural fragrance, but now it has added a three-point charm, and the sound of swallowing saliva suddenly sounded on the Baihua platform, and those scholars and sons had faint signs of turning into werewolves, and a howl sounded in their hearts
They have long heard of the name of this fifth prince, and they all say that she is heroic, resolute and unyielding, and has a manly demeanor, and once led the Zhen family's caravan to enter the Mobei grassland, and even went to the horse thief's lair alone.
Such a woman, in everyone's mind, must be a stout and resolute man, more manly than men, otherwise how to deal with those fierce Hun horse thieves, and it is said that this fifth prince always likes to show people in men's clothes, which further deepens everyone's speculation!
Although it is a man's wife, but people have money, in order to move this golden mountain home, the sons of the scholar clan have been prepared to chase the toad against the swan, after all, money is the king, as long as you can go back to this golden mountain, are you afraid of not having it in the future?
Who would have thought, don't look at it and don't know, it turned out that the fifth prince turned out to be a beautiful woman with a national color and fragrance, this is not a golden mountain, but a pure gold beauty, shining gold, bright and blind countless dog eyes, if this can win the hearts of beauties, it is a double harvest of wealth and color!
For a time, many sons of the family were high-spirited, and secretly determined that they must show their most handsome and chic side, defeat the heroes, and win the beauty!
"The five sons have worked hard all the way, and it is really the glory of my Xuzhou scholars to come to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, in the Xia Chen family", this is a warm type of shhh
"The five sons are good-looking, dashing, loved by everyone, and the flowers bloom, in the Xia Cao family", this is a flattering type.
"The face of the fifth prince is like a peach blossom, and he has a sense of familiarity at first sight, if it is not in the previous life, you and I have known each other, and this is in exchange for a meeting in this life", this is like to play fatalism.
The sons of the scholar clan have taken out the skills of pickling girls who have been practiced hard for many years, with open guns and hidden arrows, full of tricks, and launched a tidal offensive
"Thank you very much! Three lives are lucky! ”
Zhen Mi bowed his hand to everyone and returned the salute, but he didn't forget to secretly turn his head, and glanced at Xiao Yi behind him, "You learn from others, sweet words, infinite tenderness, this is the demeanor of a talented man of the scholar clan, then like you, you know that the overlord is the bow, and he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all!" ”
"Threesome, there must be my teacher!"
Xiao Yi is a person who learns modestly, so naturally he will not let go of such a good opportunity, he raised his ears high, listened attentively to the pickled girl treasures of these scholars, and when he heard the subtleties, he couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart!
"People are more angry than people, I'm really stupid, when I was in college, if I had their skills, not to mention the class flower, the department flower, it was the most beautiful school flower, and I could kiss Fangze!"
However, Xiao Yi is still a cautious man, he follows Zhen Mi, and all the men who want to come over are cleverly blocked by him without exception, and he also remembers the names and family backgrounds of these people clearly
Boys, don't be complacent yet, when the autumn is settled, whoever looks at my woman one more time, I will peel off a layer of his skin, and if anyone has a bad mind, I will break his belly and dig out his heart, and marinate it with salt to make bacon
"Careful-eyed man, you can't afford to offend!"
It's so uncomfortable to have a bad cold, please pay attention to keep warm, winter is coming!
