Various dishes were served. Zhu Biao glanced at everyone's reactions. Chen Rongyan's Adam's apple rolled. They were running along the way, so naturally they were dealing with every meal. Indeed, they hadn't eaten so good in a long time. This is human nature. , let alone him, even Zhu Biao moved his index finger.
Looking at the other people, they just nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that they were quite satisfied with the specifications, but if they wanted to eat it, they didn't have it. They were even a little nauseated by chicken, duck, fish and other meat dishes, and their picky eyes mostly stayed on the light dishes. superior.
It can be seen that these officials in Pingyang have been eating a lot lately. After the dishes were almost finished, Zhang Heng said: "After all, it is a year of famine, so the hospitality is indeed a bit crude. I hope my nephew will not take offense."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Where is it? Such rich dishes are difficult to use even at home. I didn't expect that I would gain a lot of experience during this trip."
"Hahaha, it is said that you can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. My nephew can do things for noble people at a young age. He will definitely be very successful in the future. I'm afraid we will have to rely on my nephew to take care of you."
Chen Rongyan on the side sneered in his heart, the noble person you mentioned is right in front of you, and he will definitely take good care of you in the future.
After a few polite words, the banquet began. As the guest of honor, Zhu Biao didn't need to say much, and Zhang Heng, the elder, didn't want to be too polite, so the officials sitting below began to flatter him.
Most of the time, the two of them only need to laugh and drink a glass of wine. The scene is naturally very lively. The governors and governors are all officials and banquet experts. What they say is very interesting, and they are also good at making some jokes. It's a joke that makes people understand it as soon as they take a closer look.
The banquet passed by so naturally. Nearly half of the dishes on the table were untouched. Zhang Heng put down his chopsticks when he saw that Zhu Biao had almost finished eating. As soon as he put down his chopsticks, everyone else followed suit. , the jokes in his mouth slowly stopped.
Zhang Heng patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and said kindly: "Don't have too much dinner, otherwise you won't enjoy it. Young people should pay more attention to it, not to mention the big dishes are still to come."
After everyone got up, they went to another room. Inside, there stood the beauties who had just danced, smiling like flowers to welcome everyone who walked in.
The room was filled with fragrance, and the girls had all changed into dresses, but they were still the same thin and transparent ones. Their bare ankles were covered with delicate silver bells, and the bells sounded melodiously every time they moved.
"This slave has met all the masters."
After saluting, they all walked forward obediently and fell into the arms of various officials. Only Zhu Biao was empty. Zhu Biao just looked at him with a smile. He was the guest of honor and there was no reason not to give him the best.
Zhang Heng pinched the red lips of the girl in his arms and then looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "Good nephew, don't be impatient. Good food is never too late. If you have a peerless beauty, it's worth the wait."
"Haha, the more my uncle says this, the more my nephew looks forward to it. I wonder how charming a peerless beauty can be."
Zhang Heng didn't say much, smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything. He led the girl directly to the soft couch. The others also did the same, and a few looked at Zhu Biao enviously.
They knew that there was a peerless beauty in Huancai Pavilion. She had been spotted by the magistrate two years ago and she had always regarded her as a treasure. She had been cultivating her and was still reluctant to pick it. They thought it was to please the noble prince, but they didn't expect that it turned out to be cheap. It was given to this boy named Chen.
Chen Rongyan and Chen Bingxian still stood there, ignoring the coquettishness of the girl in their arms. They did not dare to leave His Highness the Crown Prince here to wait alone.
Zhu Biao winked at them disapprovingly, and looked at the people who were already seated with his hands behind his back. The old fritters were talking seriously to Jiaoyan in his arms, making them sway left and right.
They all had some grace and were not impatient and shameful. After all, they were already familiar with such scenes. After a while, a large number of people came in. They walked around Zhu Biao with a charming smile and walked to the Pingyang officials. They spoke melodiously with silk and bamboo. The sound jumped up.
The dancing beauties interspersed in the open space between Zhu Biao and the officials, making it more and more deserted around Zhu Biao. In front of him was the prosperity and prosperity, but he seemed to be outside of it.
Zhu Biao's folding fan gently slapped his palms. What a good trick. He even used psychological hints and environmental hints. In this case, as long as the person behind him is good-looking, it will definitely leave an excellent impression on others.
It has to be said that all walks of life have their own methods, and none of them are simple. After half a cup of tea, Zhu Biao was still looking at the swaying waist and hips in front of him, his expression was still as usual, and there was no eager.
Judge Gao Tong next to Zhang Heng suddenly said: "I heard that when the Holy One passed through Nanyang Mansion, he ordered several state officials to be beheaded. His Highness the Crown Prince was scolded even when he begged for mercy."
The smile on Zhang Heng's face also faded a little: "The power of God is unpredictable. The founder of our country has a strong character. What can I and my subordinates do? We can only hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne soon."
"His Royal Highness is not a simple person. I'm afraid there will be a dragon in front of him and a tiger in the back. In the end, we will just be food."
"Haha, His Highness the Crown Prince is naturally not simple, but after all, he is the master of the establishment. He is no more unstoppable than the founder of the country. When the time comes, all the princes in the capital will naturally help him."
Gao Tongshang smiled knowingly. They paid tribute to the court, especially to Prime Minister Hu. All the real gold, silver and rare treasures were secretly sent to his old residence in Dingyuan.
Seeing that the two of them had finished speaking, Liu Tuiguan interrupted: "It is natural to be filial to all the princes, but it would be a pity to give such a beautiful woman to this Mr. Chen this time. He is not the legitimate son of Chen Tongzheng..."
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "You must also know the origin of the food they brought. Mr. Chen appeared suddenly. He didn't want to come from the capital at all. He probably came with the prince. Appointed to be responsible for selling food.”
"Chen Tongzheng's illegitimate son is not worth mentioning, but if it is an illegitimate son favored by His Highness the Crown Prince, it will be different. What's more, this person is handsome, and there is only one Crown Princess in the Crown Prince's womb..."
Everyone looked at each other and looked at Chen Yunze over there with strange eyes. If this is true, then investing in this person will be worth it. Don't they know how powerful the pillow wind is?
Zhu Biao also felt the strange gaze. When he turned around, he saw that the smiles of the officials were more sincere. They looked at him as if they were looking at his own biological nephew.
Zhu Biao frowned and glanced at Chen Rongyan, only to see that they were also confused. Chen Bingxian hurriedly went to the officials to hear what they were talking about, but as soon as he left, the content they talked about suddenly changed to the mysteries of the human body.
