Chapter 14 Worth Celebrating
Yanbei still agreed to go to Anci with Wang Song and stay for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not that Wang Song wants to buy 500 horsemen of grain and grass, just 2,000 catties of grain and grass a day, who doesn't have it?
It's just that he couldn't find a reason to reject Wang Song.
Yan Bei is a person who believes in serving only three times, he can bear it if others bully him once or twice, and he will definitely flip the table the third time. In the same way, if someone invites him once, he will refuse it out of courtesy, and if someone invites him a second time, he will already look up to him...... Regardless of whether Wang Song had other intentions or not, he had no reason to refuse again.
If you refuse, you will appear stingy.
The group had a premature meal on the bank of the Gengshui River during the day, because the carriages and horses were dragging and they drove for two hours before entering the Anci realm, the sun set, and the sky became dark.
The power of the Wang family is not small.
"The sky is dark and I can't see clearly, and when I look at the North Pole from this mountain, all the land I see is Wang's." Wang Song raised his arm on horseback and pointed north to a hill in the distance, with the kind of pride that he usually found in his words, glanced at Yan Bei and raised his eyebrows, turned his horse closer to him and whispered: "The Wu fort over there, the one that is smoking, General Yan should be very interested, there are four hundred skilled craftsmen and slaves, three shifts day and night to make copper and iron tools such as ring knives and spearheads and arrows, and when you leave, I will give you a ring knife." ”
Yan Bei looked over with a smile, he couldn't see it from a long distance, he only knew that the Wu Fort was very large, and there were repeated smoke slowly rising in the dim sky, and the color of the smoke was very heavy and close to black.
That's the color of burnt iron ore.
"Shall we go and stay there?" Yan Bei asked, just like Wang Song said, "Yan is very interested in Wang Jun's Wu Fort. ”
"It's uninhabitable, it's so black with smoke everywhere that only the slaves and maids would want to sleep there." When Wang Song said this, he unexpectedly patted Yan Bei's arm with a very affectionate action and pointed forward: "General Yan and Zhen are both Wang's most respected friends, even these horsemen can't sleep there, let's go there." ”
Wang Song glanced at Zhen Jiang and Zhen's mother, who were pacing behind them, and smiled at Zhen Yao, showing off a little bit. Only then did he wave his arm to Yan Bei and said, "If the general needs weapons, I can give you a oak spear and three hundred ten-refining ring knives for each of these riders when you leave, how about it, enough friends, right?" If you need a large number of weapons in the future, you can also directly send someone to send a message to Anci, if the number is huge, Wang can let it go to the price of Yuyang Iron Market! ”
Yan Bei hugged his fists, although his Xiangping Tiewu was still in the grass creation, and there were actually only three qualified craftsmen, but he didn't plan to buy weapons from Wang Song, but since he said it, he still had to say something, and said with a smile: "Then Yan will thank Wang Jun." ”
In the distance, Yanbei saw a small city-like Wu Fort, there are thousands of steps in length and width, and there are many arrow towers on it, and the armor guard post is like a city. Seeing this group of men and horses, hundreds of horsemen rushed out of Wubao, and more than ten horsemen were dressed in iron and hung on horses and wore iron armor, even a few points more elite than the Han army, even the Xiaoya army in Yanbei could not compare. Running over from afar, he saw Wang Songcai, who was the leader, and said, "Shaojun is back." ”
Wang Songyi raised his head and waved his hand: "Order someone to open the door, prepare a dinner banquet, and prepare food for five hundred people and five hundred horses in the front garden!" ”
"No!"
The rider promised to teach hundreds of riders to shout after a few drinks, 'Shaojun is back!' The news returned to Wubao, but after a while, before Yanbei and the others could reach Wubao, the gate had already opened, and a young scholar was greeted at the head, and he smiled from afar: "Brother can be counted back, I have been waiting for you for two days!" In Xiazhuo County, Liu put Liu Ziqi away, but I don't know who these friends are? ”
"Haha, Zi abandoned you, this is Zhongshan Zhen's Saburo Zhen Yao, as for this, it is Yanbei, the general who has been in the limelight recently!" Wang Songyue dismounted, took Liu Fang's arm to guide everyone, and said with a smile: "General, bring the troops in, let these good sons rest in the vestibule, General Yan and Zhen and his party will enter the hall with a certain person, and the servants should have prepared wine and food." ”
Yan Bei nodded in agreement, handed the reins to Lu Yi, and Gao Ran handed the iron spear to his subordinates, holding the waist knife and following behind Yan Bei.
As soon as everyone climbed the steps into the hall, they saw a woman with a delicate face and a gentle temperament holding the child in her arms and saluting Wang Song, "The husband is back, and the concubine has seen you." ”
"Father, father!"
Xiao Tong stretched out his arm to Wang Song, Wang Song smiled and grabbed Xiao Tong's hand, and then nodded to his wife and said, "You go down, I want to entertain distinguished guests, by the way, find Youling to enter the hall." ”
The Book of Rites says that a gentleman hugs his grandson but not his son, and Wang Song's actions are normal in this era. However, sometimes, he is not so polite, such as inviting all Zhen and his party to the hall to eat together.
Yan Bei and Gao Ran glanced at each other, and only by this time did they know that Wang Songdu was already a father, and his son was still three or four years old. Yan Bei rubbed his face silently, good guy, he felt that he was about the same age as Wang Song, at most two years younger, how far was this lineage?
After taking a seat, there were two attendants and maids serving beside each person, serving several cases of delicacies like flowing water, which can be said to be an eye-opener for Yanbei.
The bronze grilled bowl with delicate animal patterns is filled with '貊炙', and the golden leg of lamb is cut into slices of meat with the width of the tail fingers, and the small dish with a uniform grill texture is laid with fish tart, and the fish meat is finely textured by skilled knife workers, and a small shrimp paste that can be used as a dipping sauce is added between the gaps, which is very delicious.
As for the pork soup with sauce, fried crab, golden steamed cakes and concocted turtles, it is even more dazzling.
As soon as the meal was finished, I saw three rows of beautiful and plump Youling holding various musical instruments, including drums and seers, and bells, two columns of musicians saluted everyone and then marched to the two corners of the hall, and a row of five dancers in the middle of the column wore long-sleeved dance costumes and danced to the sound of bell music.
"One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, there are few scholars in Youzhou, but there are countless heroes." Wang Song sat on the top and smiled, Yan Bei sat on the left side of the hall, and Liu Fang on the right, and the Zhen clan people on both sides were lined up, Wang Song smiled and said to Yan Bei: "Zhang Ju, who General Yan followed before, is from Yuyang...... It's incorrigible stupid, but with such a good day, you have to rebel! ”
Wang Song smiled happily, in the past, when Zhang Ju was there, many of Yuyang's affairs Wang couldn't interfere at all, but now it's different, after Zhang Ju's death, Wang Song became Yuyang's leading tycoon, he picked up the empty wine bottle, and his own maid filled the clear wine, raised it to Yanbei and asked: "The strong man behind Yanjun, why don't you sit?" ”
Gao Ran has always held the ring knife at his waist and stood on Yanbei's side since he entered Wang's Wuzhong, and when he saw Wang Song asking him, he arched his hand and said: "Thank you Wang Jun for your good intentions, but the general is here, and Gao has no reason to sit down." ”
Yan Bei frowned indiscerningly, and in the blink of an eye, he had stretched. Wang Song is heroic, but he is not so good at talking, and he always leads the conversation to Yanbei intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't care about Gao Ran sitting down to eat together, but he was disgusted with how Wang Song mentioned Zhang Ju again.
It was also an unlucky ghost who died under Yan Bei's knife, and for Yan Bei, it was the most dishonorable killing in his life.
"The warriors under Yan Jun's command are loyal and commendable, so drink them!" Wang Song said loudly, then picked up the wine bottle and drank it all towards Yanbei, and leaned out while Yanbei was drinking, and asked: "General Yan, it is rumored in the countryside that Zhang Ju died in your hands, is it true or false?" ”
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little frozen.
Yan Bei's face froze, and the half-drunk wine was put back into the case. Liu Fang, who was sitting opposite him, said badly when he saw that he was cold, clapped his hands and applauded Youling: "Good tune, good tune!" ”
Wang Song's face seemed to be smiling, Yan Bei paused for ten breaths, picked up the wine bottle again and drank the rest of the wine, put down the wine bottle and pursed the tip of his tongue on his lower lips, then looked at Wang Song and said calmly: "Yes, Zhang Ju died at my hand." ”
Such a banquet became a separate dialogue, Liu Fang and Zhen Yao whispered to each other, and the Zhen family only had food left, and the center was on Yanbei and Wang Song. One of these two inherited the family business in a young and frivolous manner, and the other was a fierce soldier, and just who frowned could make everyone's hearts pinch up.
Hearing Yan Bei say Zhang Ju's death as usual, without an angry look, Liu Fang and Zhen Yao cautiously let out a sigh, and they could see the relieved look on each other's faces at a glance.
Bang Bang Bang!
How did you know that Wang Song applauded vigorously in the hall, picked up the wine bottle again and said: "General Yan, Wang Mou wants to thank you well, do you know that Zhang Ju has been pressing the Wang family in Yuyang back then, and you killed him, you did Wang a great favor!" After the death of his father, the clan was struggling, and the general removed Zhang Jucai so that Wang inherited such a big family business, this respect, Wang respects you! ”
Only then did Liu Fang and Zhen Yao understand that Wang Song meant this, and he did not deliberately provoke Yanbei. It's just that the two of them raised their eyebrows slightly, they have never seen Wang Song can't speak like this in their daily interactions, if they say this kind of thing, if ordinary people are afraid that they will turn their faces a long time ago, right?
What's wrong with Wang Jun today?
Liu Fang didn't know Yanbei in the past, but when he saw it for the first time today, he only felt that the rumors were untrue, Yanbei was by no means a reckless person who was so reckless as the rumors in the township, just this words that were ridiculed and close to insult in the ears but could not change his face, it was not the ability of ordinary people.
Only this time, Yan Bei didn't show a good face, but lightly picked up the wine bottle and waited for the maid to fill the wine, and then lightly stretched his arm out of the desk and slowly slanted down.
The wine in the bottle was poured all over the place.
"He is not a warrior under Yan in Wang Jun's mouth, this is the new 2,000-stone captain of the imperial court in Youzhou, Gao Lan." Yan Bei turned his head and glanced at Gao Lan, and put the wine bottle on the table without changing his face, "And Wang Jun, Yan doesn't think that killing the Son of Yuyang Tianzi is something to celebrate." ”
