The banquet was in a lively atmosphere, but the long roundabout chatter did not touch on the main topic. Everyone was smiling but a little anxious...
Fang Jun was a little bored.
The wine table culture of the Chinese nation has been inherited from the same origin. Thousands of years later, it is still so implicit and hypocritical, talking here and there, without anyone speaking first, just to seize the opportunity. Each one of them is sophisticated and scheming, and they really agreed to that sentence... …
The smartest people are all in the officialdom, and this is true in ancient and modern times!
But Fang Jun was not in a hurry.
Although I don’t know why Li Chengqian suddenly invited him to the banquet, it is not that he is asking for help from others, but that these people are asking for him. Moreover, based on his current relationship with Li Chengqian, this person is not No matter how smart but responsible the Crown Prince is, he will not sell him out, so he can remain calm.
He held the glass of wine and smiled. He drank until the glass was dry. His attitude was very good. Anyway, he did not raise any doubts in his mind. It was as if he was too slow to realize that these people had other purposes for entertaining him.
Li Chengqian couldn't sit still, and while Fang Jun was lowering his head to pour the wine, he winked at the tall and handsome young man diagonally across from him.
Fang Jun always paid attention to Li Chengqian and smiled secretly when he saw this.
Li Chengqian is not a fool, but is actually very smart. Otherwise, he would not have been so favored and supported by His Majesty Li Er in the early stages of his career as prince. But after all, he lacks the composure to remain calm despite the collapse of the mountain, and he is inevitably impetuous and lacks patience in his actions. It is also because of this shortcoming that history will soon be coerced by this group of East Palace ministers at the banquet, and they will have the idea of conspiracy to kill His Majesty Li Er.
Fang Jun glanced sideways at the young man Li Chengqian winked at.
This man's name is Helan Chushi, and he is a cousin of Wu Meiniang's sister Wu Shunniang's short-lived ghost husband Helan Yueshi. This person also has another identity, he is Hou Junji's son-in-law...
Yes, in history, it was this guy who, after He Qian Chengji informed His Majesty Li Er about Prince Li Chengqian's rebellion, he sold his father-in-law Taishan Hou Junji without hesitation, and informed every detail of the conspiracy. Your Majesty Li Er.
Although now due to the appearance of Fang Jun, Changsun Chong lost his head after losing power continuously, secretly instigating Hou Junji to rebel early, Li Chengqian was just a false alarm, not only was he not too implicated, but it prompted His Majesty Li Er to make up his mind to stabilize the situation. Li Chengqian's position as crown prince prevents such things from happening again. But this group of people are all the prince's confidants, and each of them is extremely bold and greedy. Who knows if they will do something shocking and stupid and drag Li Chengqian into the ditch?
Fang Jun smacked his chin, wondering if he had to dig a hole in advance to bury these short-sighted and stupid bastards...
Over there, Helan Chushi received Li Chengqian's look, raised his glass and said to Fang Jun with a smile: "Although I am an old acquaintance with Erlang, I have never had the opportunity to get close. It is really a pity. Speaking of which, you and I are still relatives."
Fang Jun blinked and pretended to be surprised: "How do you say this?"
Beside him, the tall and powerful Zhonglang General of Zuotun Guard and the Thousand Bulls of the East Palace, Li Anyan, laughed in a voice as loud as a broken gong: "Er Lang doesn't know? Your concubine, the Wu family, has a sister who is married to brother Chu Shi's cousin. Helan Yue Shi, it is a pity that Helan Yue Shi died young, leaving his family alone to guard the empty boudoir, and taste the loneliness day after day. It is really a waste of resources! Brother Chu Shi's first wife died of a thousand-year-old illness, which is not what the elders of the same clan have discussed. , I want to marry that Wu Shunniang back to be my side wife. If your wish comes true, you two will be brothers-in-law, and they will really be a family, hahaha!"
Fang Jun's eyes narrowed and he felt unhappy.
Although he fell in love with Wu Shunniang by accident, and he was very greedy for Wu Shunniang's plump and soft body, and he was even more obsessed with breaking the worldly taboos... But Fang Jun really never thought about possessing Wu Shunniang.
As a modern person, it is not a big deal for couples to have sex with each other, so they should not regard each other as their forbidden love.
If someone wants to marry Wu Shunniang as a sequel, Fang Jun will be very happy. After all, it is too difficult for a young woman to stay alone in an empty boudoir without a man to rely on.
But Fang Jun didn't think it was appropriate to marry back and be a side wife.
In this era, a concubine is not much better than a concubine. In a society where men are superior to women, they are just a piece of goods used by the family owner. They can be given away casually, which shows how despicable it is!
The most important thing is that the man who wants to marry Wu Shunniang is called Helan Chushi...
Although Hou Junji's rebellion broke out in advance and Helan Chushi was not involved, would this guy who could instigate the prince to rebel for profit and then betray his father-in-law without any moral integrity be a good man who could be entrusted to him for life?
If there is no rebellion by Hou Junji, there must be something else. This kind of person has no foresight but is still headstrong and self-indulgent. There is definitely no one way to commit suicide.
As the thoughts in his mind turned, Fang Jun said with a smile on his face: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I didn't know there was such a relationship. Then I really need to get close to you from now on!"
Seeing what he said, Helan Chushi was overjoyed and said tentatively: "That's a high achiever for someone! Looking at the Tang Dynasty, no one knows that Fang Erlang is known as the 'God of Wealth'. His ability to gather wealth is unparalleled in the world. He can even say that he can turn stones into gold." That's too much! If there is any way to make money in the future, please give Erlang more support so that brothers can also benefit from it!"
This is probably today’s theme, right?
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "Since we are our brothers, why are we so arrogant? It's okay to bring everyone together to make a fortune, but you all are sensible people. Where in the world is there a business that can make a profit without losing money? It's natural to make money. Hello everyone, I'm fine, but if I accidentally lose money, Brother Chu Shi can't blame me!"
The words were beautifully spoken, but I was a little surprised.
They are all wealthy and high-ranking people. Just for a little yellow and white thing, so many people have to move the prince, a great god, to entertain them?
Everyone was waiting for Fang Jun's words, and they were naturally overjoyed when they heard this.
Li Anyan raised his glass and laughed: "Erlang, you can't treat one favorably. Brother Chu Shi and you are relatives, and we are all good brothers. If you want to do something good, you have to bring the big guy with you!"
Fang Jun naturally smiled: "Definitely, definitely!"
I secretly paid attention to it, knowing that this was just the beginning of a trial, and the drama hadn't started yet...
Sure enough, after a few rounds of pushing cups and changing cups, Wen Ting, who had been quiet for a while, sighed: "We really envy Erlang! Let's not talk about the glass workshop. Now it is His Majesty's property, but the one in Fangjiawan At a dock, what day is not when the sky is covered with oars and boats are like clouds? Erlang can make a lot of money every day and live a happy life. We seem to have prominent status, but which one is not affected by the expenses of the family all day long? Are you pulling your hair so hard?"
Fang Jun was stunned and cursed in his heart!
Mom, you actually paid attention to my dock?
Isn’t this eating appearance too ugly?
Who the hell do you think you are?
Seeing Fang Jun's dark face, he immediately turned cold. Helan Chushi almost yelled at Wen Ting for being stupid! Is that what you said? Who doesn't know that Fangjiawan Wharf is Fang Jun's foundation, let alone you Wen Ting, even if Changsun Wuji looked hot and wanted to step in, he couldn't be kicked away by Fang Jun?
This is simply trying to steal the rice from other people's bowls, and they are going to overturn the table!
Helan Chushi quickly said: "Is Prince Consort Wen drunk and talking nonsense?"
Wen Ting also realized that his words had caused Fang Jun to misunderstand, and quickly said with a smile: "Blame me, blame me! When I drink, my mouth gets wet, and I can't speak like my brain. Erlang is kind, don't be offended, we are just talking, what do you mean?" nothing!"
Fang Jun saw that he didn't seem to be faking it, and was a little confused.
Brothers, what do you mean?
Li Chengqian lowered his head to drink, and everyone looked at Du He, who had never spoken.
Although he was implicated in Hou Junji's rebellion, His Majesty did not blame Du He too much. After all, Du Ruhui's affection still existed, and His Majesty Li Er did not want his minister Hu Gu to end up with his family ruined. …
Speaking of which, apart from Prince Li Chengqian, Du He and Fang Jun are among the people present who have a close relationship.
Helan Chushi's "brother-in-law" is pure nonsense. Even if he really married Wu Shunniang, how could the relationship between his side wife and Fang Jun's concubine be compared to a serious "brother-in-law" like Du He?
