Chapter 819: The Yang Family's Birthday Banquet
In addition, there are monks from all walks of life, and some famous scholars and Confucians, all of whom are figures with heads and faces in the Holy Dynasty.
Of course, the things that the Yang family used to entertain guests were also rare in the world.
Not only are there all kinds of immortal brewed fairy fruits, it is said that every guest will get an amazing elixir, of course, the quality of the elixir is also divided into several grades, and this elixir is taken out, it is an extremely rare treasure.
There is another thing, the Yang family said that Yang Taisheng will announce a big event at that time, but it has not been revealed, so I can't guess it, but since the Yang family has said so, it must be extraordinary.
The rebuilt Yang Mansion is very magnificent, and it is also larger, from more than half an hour ago, there has been an endless stream of guests, of course, the first people who came were some relatively inconsequential people, those real big people, must have come a little later.
Yang Zhenqing personally stood in front of the door to greet him, and he, the No. 2 person in the Shoufu Pavilion, was able to greet the guests in person, which made many guests who came first extremely glorious and had a light on their faces.
After those celebrities came, they were some low-level officials, which were actually not low, and in other states, they were all at the level of feudal officials, at least at the level of the state and the long history, so they were eligible to be invited.
After that, there are some high-ranking officials in Jingzhou, and there are many old people in officialdom who have withdrawn from officialdom, but there are still very powerful and influential officialdom old people.
These people are a major scenery of this birthday banquet.
After all, in normal times, it is not possible to see the gathering of old people who are all over one or two hundred years old. Among these people, there are many immortal cultivators, and some are already senile, and it is said that the oldest of the grades is already more than four hundred and fifty years old.
Even for the immortals of the Dao Immortal Realm, this age is quite large.
Let's just say that this four hundred and fifty-year-old old man is just an ordinary Dao Immortal cultivator, and it seems unlikely that he will be promoted to the Flying Feather Immortal, so at the other party's age, he is already a dying wood, and it is not good to say, it is half of his body about to enter the ground.
Some old people, that is kind and steady, some are not, there is a saying called relying on the old and selling the old, which is to describe these people.
Unfortunately, this is a man who relies on the old and sells the old.
"Master Yang, it's been a long time. The old man was helped over, and said with a smile, Yang Zhenqing looked at people, to be honest, he was a little disdainful and disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he was very enthusiastic.
"It turned out to be Elder Zhang, please, please!" Yang Zhenqing knew that this Elder Zhang was much older than himself, and he was also the No. 1 person in the officialdom of the Holy Dynasty in his early years. It's just that this character is not very good, in his early years, because of interests, he once pointed out that he promoted his mentor, even if the other party's mentor really has a problem, it is indeed a bit shameless to be the first to jump out of such ungratefulness.
But even if he doesn't look down on this person, Yang Zhenqing knows that he needs the support of these people now, you must know that this Zhang Lao has a lot of influence in the officialdom of the Holy Dynasty, and with the support of this person, it will be beneficial for his father to compete for the first seat of the Shoufu Pavilion.
Even if it's just a little bit of help, it's needed.
So today, I will give this old Zhang enough face, thinking of this, Yang Zhenqing is very polite, there is no shelf, in this way, the old Zhang is more and more proud and red.
At this time, this person's old habit of relying on the old and selling the old has been committed again.
"I came this time to support Brother Taisheng, Brother Taisheng is the foundation of our Holy Dynasty, is this something that others can compare? I heard that some young juniors now, who do not know how to advance or retreat, actually dare to come and compete with the old-timers for power and profit, this is simply nonsense, what is respect for the elderly? Do they not even understand this truth? If you want me to say, it should be Brother Taisheng who stands up and takes charge of the authority of the Holy Dynasty, and with Brother Taisheng here, we can feel at ease and be convinced, otherwise we will be the first to disobey if we are someone else. ”
This one blew his beard and glared at the eyes, and at the same time pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.
Although his words are indeed supporting Yang Taisheng, in Yang Zhenqing's sound, it is inevitably a bit grandstanding, but it is enough, as long as he can receive force.
But obviously, this old Zhang who relies on the old and sells the old obviously doesn't plan to just give up.
"Let's just say that the first seat of the Shoufu Pavilion can only be sat by Brother Taisheng, and the others, no cats and dogs have this qualification, I heard that the so-called literati role model also has to compete for it, hmph, is he worthy? To govern the country and the country, he must have experience and qualifications, he is much younger than my grandson, how can he govern such a big holy dynasty? Zhang Lao looked around and asked the people around him.
There were people around who echoed, but there were also people who smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
People in the officialdom of Jingzhou have generally heard of this old Zhang's comments, this person just likes to talk big, fire guns indiscriminately, and to put it bluntly, he is open-mouthed.
Except for this person's henchmen and protégés, others really don't want to have anything to do with each other.
Especially at this juncture, when it comes to the attribution of the supreme authority of the Holy Dynasty, they absolutely do not dare to take a position on this matter.
Because before the dust settles, if you say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Any politically inspiring pilgrimage official knows that they must not take a position now, at least not lightly. After all, even if it was Yang Taisheng and Chu Xian, none of the two said that they were going to compete for the first seat.
Officials pay attention to enlightenment, what is enlightenment? I understand it in my heart, and there is no need to say it in my mouth.
What no one expected was that just when this boss was talking nonsense, a VIP came from behind, and this VIP happened to be the 'younger generation' that Zhang Lao said.
Chu Xian.
No one thought that Chu Xian's identity would come at this time, instead of becoming the finale as others thought.
After all, Chu Xian's status is extremely high now, and he is qualified to wrestle with Yang Taisheng, even if it is in the Shoufu Pavilion, no one can compare with Chu Xian.
Especially Chu Xian's promotion to Dao Yuan Zhenren, that kind of influence and status surpassed all the current immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion at once, generally like a figure of his level, it must be the later he comes, the more he can reflect his difference and status, but obviously, Chu Xian didn't care about these at all.
Seeing Chu Xian come in, even the people who welcomed the guests were stunned, and the scene became silent in an instant.
The reason is very simple, Zhang Lao is still making a lot of nonsense, relying on his age, and is 'talking nonsense' here, although he is not named, but everyone knows that he is talking about Chu Xian.
It is conceivable what the consequences will be if Chu Xian knows about this matter.
Although Zhang Lao has old qualifications, even at his peak, he is much worse than the current Chu Xian.
Yang Zhenqing was stunned.
However, he also reacted the fastest, walked directly towards Chu Xian, and arched his hand: "Lord Chu, you came here so early." ”
He and Chu Xian are colleagues, and their status is not much different now, of course, this is just for now, Yang Zhenqing knows very well that from the moment Chu Xian was promoted to the realm of Dao Yuan Zhenren, he will not be able to catch up with Chu Xian.
Chu Xian's status will definitely be above him, after all, he can compete with his father for the first seat of the Shoufu Pavilion, and now Chu Xian is the only one.
"Mr. Taisheng celebrates his birthday, so he naturally wants to come early. Chu Xian behaved very calmly and indifferently, neither condescending nor overly polite.
It can be said that this calmness and calmness are the key to becoming a superior.
Yang Zhenqing wants to say that he is much older than Chu Xian, but his reaction and performance just now are obviously slightly inferior.
Yang Zhenqing also knew it in her heart, but she didn't care.
He has long not regarded Chu Xian as a great enemy, especially Chu Xian is now half of the Yang family, with Yang Wanqing's relationship, Chu Xian's rise is also beneficial to the Yang family.
"My father confessed before, saying that if Lord Chu came, he would come to greet him in person. Yang Zhenqing said at this time, Chu Xian smiled: "That's not appropriate, Mr. Taisheng and I are elders, where is there a reason for elders to welcome juniors, besides, today is Mr. Taisheng's birthday, it should be me to visit him." ”
It can be seen that Chu Xian is not deliberately modest, everything he says and does is sincere, there is no falsehood, and there is no need to be false.
When Chu Xian and Yang Zhenqing were talking, Zhang Lao over there also reflected, and after seeing Chu Xian, this person who was arrogant and proud just now suddenly became dumbfounded.
If you talk about people behind your back, then anyone will, but there are absolutely very few people who dare to say this in person, obviously, Zhang Lao does not belong to this minority of people.
Chu Xian's power and power, he is also clear now, it doesn't matter if he says some big things behind his back to attract attention, if he is in person, he will not dare to give him a hundred dares.
So now he was immediately intimidated, and he was afraid of being seen by Chu Xian, so he quietly hid back.
Such an ugly state is naturally seen by everyone, and there is no need to mention the disdain in everyone's hearts, and some people are even looking forward to seeing the scene of Chu Xian dealing with this shameless person.
But obviously, Chu Xian never dealt with the other party from beginning to end.
First, there is no need, and second, Chu Xian really doesn't know each other, even if he knows, with Chu Xian's current status and cultivation, he doesn't bother to talk to this kind of person.
So after a few polite words with Yang Zhenqing, Chu Xian was personally greeted by Yang Zhenqing and went to see Yang Taisheng.
Only Chu Xian can let Yang Zhenqing accompany him throughout the whole process and be polite.
Yang Taisheng also heard the news, stood in front of the door of the study and waited for Chu Xian, and when he saw Chu Xian coming, he laughed: "Lord Chu, you came so early." ”
Chu Xian also smiled: "Mr. Taisheng said the same as Master Yang, after all, Mr. Taisheng has a birthday, Chu Xian doesn't dare not come early, not to mention, Chu Xian and Wanqing get married, then Mr. Taisheng is also Chu Xian's elder, come to pay respects, how dare you put on a score." ”
