Tian Zheng coughed and said, "Ahem, Zhang Wen, Mr. Song is an honored guest, so don't be rude."
Zhang Wen looked at Tian Qing'er sitting next to Song Xin and looking affectionately. His face turned red and white, and he wanted to put the wine cup on the table, but his hand was too heavy, and the "pop" sound sounded like he was throwing something in anger.
Taking a deep breath, he said with a trembling voice: "My uncle wants to find a husband for cousin Qing'er. Zhang Wenwen has nothing to say, but... I don't know the other person's details, so he hastily proposes marriage. My nephew feels it's inappropriate... .”
Tian Zheng's face sank, "Qing'er is looking for a husband. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you, right?"
"Uncle, I don't care if my sister marries anyone else, but she must not marry Song Xin."
At this time, Xiaoyu said quietly: "Look, you have a love rival."
Song Xin, who was sitting at the table, found it funny, "He is just wishful thinking. Did I agree?"
Tian Kai said: "Zhang Wen, I know you like my sister, but..."
Zhang Wen interrupted him directly and said loudly: "Since it is inconvenient for my uncle to ask, let me come down and ask. Brother Song can be the attendant of the Prime Minister's beloved son at such a young age. I'm afraid he has an extraordinary background, right?"
When he heard about Song Xin's military exploits in Jiangling, he deliberately avoided talking about it and asked about Song Xin's background first, as if Song Xin's status today was due to his noble birth. However, Song Xin also understood what he meant by asking. He just wanted to use his background to suppress himself. Looking at Tian Zheng and his son, they didn't stop him. Instead, they both looked curious.
This is what Tian Zheng and his son were curious about but never had the chance to ask.
Song Xin smiled slightly and said lightly: "I don't have any prominent background."
Zhang Wen was stunned after hearing this. He thought Song Xin was joking, so he smiled and asked, "Brother Song, aren't you being humble?"
Song Xin shook his head and said, "I am not humble. My parents are both farmers working in the fields. My father made some achievements on the battlefield and was given a non-changing title."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Tian Zheng, his son, and Tian Qing'er darkened. They were both surprised and angry, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet instantly cooled down.
Zhang Wen's face changed, and the respectful tone in his tone suddenly turned into condescending arrogance. He asked as if he was interrogating: "Without a family background, how could Prime Minister Cao let Brother Song be the servant of the young master?"
"Based on your military exploits." Song Xin smiled lightly and finished the glass of wine.
"Humph, based on military exploits?"
At this time, Yu Chen, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
Song Xin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Yes, it is based on military merit."
Yu Chen smiled contemptuously, slowly picked up a piece of cloth and wiped his hands, then wiped the grease from his mouth, and said: "I wonder what military achievements Mr. Song has made to get this honor? Yu would like to hear it. Woolen cloth."
At this time, Tian Zheng's face turned gloomy and he said, "Master Yu! Today I am hosting Mr. Song's banquet, not because of his background, but because I respect his character. Please don't be rude to the guests!"
Yu Chen was not confused at all, and said calmly: "Master Tian, in this world today, there are many people who are seeking fame and reputation. Having traveled through the world in the lower reaches, I know that people's hearts are sinister. I just want to remind you not to be deceived."
Tian Qing'er's face didn't look good either, and she was sitting quietly aside, but she was further away from Song Xin.
Zhang Wen turned to look at Tian Qing'er again, "Sister Qing'er, are you willing to marry someone of unknown origin? Aren't you afraid of suffering the hardships of marrying?"
Tian Qing'er looked at Zhang Wen coldly and said, "Who I marry has nothing to do with you." Then she picked up the wine cup and bet
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Angrily, he gave Song Xin a glass of wine.
Zhang Wen's face darkened and he didn't speak. He just looked at Tian Qing'er without saying a word.
Tian Kai saw the awkward atmosphere and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang must be drunk. Come sit down and have a drink together. Sister, please pour some wine for Brother Zhang."
But Tian Qing'er didn't move this time, and her face looked a little bad. Such a fuss tonight made her lose all face. At the same time, she also felt a little disappointed, because she thought Song Xin had a big noble family backer. It was for this reason that her father asked her to come out to show her courtesy.
Tian Zheng said coldly: "Zhang Wen, I allowed you to accompany me to the banquet, but you insulted my guests with words. Is this the etiquette you learn every day? Apologize to Mr. Song, and I will not hold you responsible for disrespect. ”
Zhang Wen saw Tian Qing'er pouring wine for Song Xin, and he couldn't help but said: "A young lady from the Northern Wei family pouring wine for a commoner will be laughed at. If you want to marry a good family in the future, When the other side hears what happened today, I’m afraid my cousin’s reputation will be tarnished!”
Tian Qing'er's face turned cold, her hand holding the wine trembled, and the wine spilled on the table. When Tian Zheng saw his daughter's appearance, he coughed lightly and said, "Qing'er, are you too drunk?"
Song Xin also felt bored. The banquet, which was originally a good atmosphere, was disturbed by this person.
"Mr. Yu, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush."
Yu Chen chuckled and shook his head: "A country wild man, after getting some merit on the battlefield, came to Xudu to show off his power. Haha, the world has really changed..."
Zhang Wen immediately agreed: "Yes, Prime Minister Cao issued a talent seeking order, saying that he did not look at family background but only talent. It did recruit a lot of talents for the court, but there were also more people without talent who wanted to borrow money. It’s a chance to make a good future, tsk tsk tsk.”
Tian Zheng stared at Zhang Wen with a gloomy face, but he did not say anything to stop Zhang Wen and Yu Chen this time.
Song Xin smiled lightly and said, "Are you two doubting the Prime Minister's ability to recognize people?"
Zhang Wendao: "Of course I don't dare. I'm just curious about what extraordinary ability I have, and I can't wait to see it with my own eyes. No, I heard that my uncle was going to entertain the young master, so Zhang came to join in the fun."
But at this time, Yu Chen lost his previous politeness and said in a cold voice: "I have seen people like you a lot. You just pretended to be a war hero and got some rewards. When the critical moment comes, it will naturally be exposed."
Because he had heard from Song Xin before that his father had won a title due to his military exploits, and he really thought that Song Xin had gotten an advantage for nothing.
When Song Xin heard the words "falsely claiming military merits", he felt displeased and said, "Pretending to claim military merits?"
"It's just a matter of taking other people's military exploits and claiming them as your own. Otherwise, how can you accomplish anything with your own abilities?"
Song Xin was very angry at him, "Do you know what I am capable of?"
Yu Chen said: "If you have the ability, I would like to try it."
Song Xin smiled and said, "How to try?"
Yu Chen pointed at Song Xin, then pointed at himself and said, "Let's have a competition. I heard that you know Wei Tong, the Yingchuan swordsman, and you must have learned a lot of tricks from him. I would like to learn from him."
Zhang Wen slapped the table and cheered loudly: "Okay! Wei Tong's swordsmanship is also world-famous, and Zhang has long admired it." Then he took out an ingot of gold from his arms and slapped it on the table, "I have an ingot of gold here, right? Treat it as a spoil, and whoever wins will have the gold."
Yu Chen glanced at Jin Zi, raised his head slightly and stared at Song Xin arrogantly: "Master Tian, we can't invite all the cats and dogs in this house. In the end, I have to take action to get rid of them for him.

"
Tian Kai had seen Song Xin's skills. Those strong thugs didn't even touch the corners of Song Xin's clothes. He quickly advised: "Brother Zhang, Master Yu, you are drunk and talking drunkenly."
Who knew that Zhang Wen didn't listen at all, pointed at Song Xin and asked again, "How are you doing? Do you dare?"
Song Xin looked at Tian Zheng and said, "Master Tian, this young master's master insists on competing with me... Look at this..."
Before Tian Zheng could speak, Zhang Wen immediately said: "Don't even think about using my uncle to help you block it. If I don't expose you today, my cousin will have to suffer a lot when she marries you in the future!"
Song Xin said seriously: "Okay. Since you insist on competing with me, then I will accompany you, but it also depends on Master Tian's wishes."
He thought Tian Zheng would stop him, but he didn't expect him to say: "Listen to my son, Mr. Song is excellent in martial arts, and Tian also wants to broaden his horizons."
"Hey, well, since Brother Zhang insists on competing with me, Song has no choice but to accompany me. But how to calculate the win or loss? How to calculate the casualties?" Song Xin said, standing up.
Yu Chen didn't expect that Song Xin didn't know the rules of the swordsman competition, and he was even more convinced that Song Xin was a villain who was only seeking fame. He smiled smugly and said, "Do you dare to fight in a life-and-death battle?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Tian family's father and daughter all changed, and Tian Zheng was even more displeased. What on earth is Yu Chen going to do today? Does he want to kill someone in his own mansion?
There was no fear on Song Xin's face, "Okay, then I'll ask Master Yu for advice."
Yu Chen sneered and said, "I can't get it."
Zhang Wen had a joking look on his face, as if he had seen Song Xin being killed on the spot and himself getting married to his cousin.
Tian Zheng frowned and thought to himself: "Song Xin is also Cao Chong's attendant. If he is injured here, it will be difficult for me to explain...This Zhang Wen, let you try him, I didn't ask you to His life..." Thinking of this, he said: "Swords are sharp and will inevitably be damaged. I think you can try your skills with the blunt swords you usually use, and it will also open our eyes."
"In that case, I won't take your life today." Yu Chen said in an arrogant tone.
Song Xin was too lazy to argue with him and made a gesture of invitation.
The two of them walked outside to the courtyard and stood on their left and right sides. The servants of the Tian family gave each of them a blunt sword.
Yu Chen pointed his sword at Song Xin opposite him and said, "Boy, even though the sword is blunt today, you can't get away with it. If you admit defeat now, you can avoid being seriously injured."
Song Xin felt that this man was really unreasonable, so he yawned and said, "Do you want to fight? If you don't come, I will almost fall asleep."
When Tian Qing'er heard this, she couldn't help but smile. When Zhang Wen saw her beautiful appearance, he was jealous and liked her at the same time.
Yu Chen wished he could swallow Song Xin in one gulp. With a slight drink, he raised his sword and stabbed Song Xin in the eye socket.
However, although his movements were fast, under Song Xin's Thousand Layers Eye Technique, they were slow enough to make him fall asleep. With just a slight flash, Song Xin arrived behind Yu Chen.
Yu Chen only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and his opponent seemed to have disappeared from his eyes. He panicked, and at the same time he heard someone chuckle behind him. Turning around, he saw Song Xin looking at him a few feet behind him. This scene stunned Tian Zheng, Tian Kai and Tian Qing'er's family. In their eyes, Song Xin was behind Yu Chen in the blink of an eye, so fast that he almost became a shadow.
"The movement skills are good, but this can't hurt anyone." Yu Chen shouted, turned around and swung the iron sword with his backhand, hitting Song Xin's head. Although the sword in his hand was blunt, it was also made of iron. If he was hit by it, his brain would definitely burst.
