In this circle of the second generation of powerful people in Chang'an, naturally everyone has their own respect for their juniors.
Is face important?
This face is very important!
It seems that among the second-generation rich and powerful children in Chang'an City, countless second-generation people at his age have already entered officialdom through their father's relationship or other methods.
No matter how big or small the official position is, it is not only a proof of the noble family, but also a proof of the abilities of these second-generation princes.
If you say anything, others will look high on you, so this kind of face is very important.
As long as the second generation of a powerful person reaches his age, if he has not yet gone out to become an official, it will be a disaster... ah no, if he becomes an official, he will always be despised by others.
Look, there are now a group of top second-generation dignitaries in Chang'an City.
Even Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Niu Jinda, the sons of the old Shabi family, all went to Mobei, and they went there with great reputations.
And other literary scholars may also have official names.
But as for him, isn't this just letting others look down on him, Changsun Chong?
Although his eldest son Chong casually writes a short essay like "My Father, the Duke of the Kingdom" or "My Father, the Head of the Grand Sun Family", he can win flattery from everywhere.
But face must be taken into consideration, right?
But his father refused to let him join the officialdom too early, and he just studied and practiced martial arts obediently.
If he doesn't listen to whatever you say, he might even get a whipping.
Even recently I was imprisoned for half a year!
Now that he heard this news, how could his eldest son, Sun Chong, not be angry?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Why am I so miserable these days?
…
The young man struggled in front of the door for a while and thought of a tactful way.
He walked straight in, found Du He, and whispered in his ear.
That made Du He sober.
With a slight roll of his eyes, even though everyone was the son of the Duke, no one was afraid of anyone.
But he is not as cowardly and brainless as those people in Cheng Yaojin's family.
Changsun Chong is a person that His Highness the Prince values extremely, and half of this incident was done for this young master.
Why not make friends.
Immediately he stood up like a human being, and it seemed that he had almost finished eating and drinking.
Immediately he stood up with seriousness, shook his head and said in excuse——
"Everyone, the pavilion is actually the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson. I didn't expect that the eldest grandson would be so enthusiastic and came to invite me. Alas, it's hard to refuse such kindness!"
"How about this, the banquet is almost over now, I invite you all to go to Baihua Pavilion to listen to some music, my little brother's treat!"
Immediately, he gave all the readers a knowing look.
Everyone immediately became interested. Baihualou is not cheap. If someone is treating you, why not do it?
Then he turned around and explained.
"Brother Song, you take the other brothers and go ahead. I'll go to Mr. Changsun first and I'll arrive soon!"
Immediately, he naturally remembered a chorus of admiration and admiration.
"Haha, as expected of Brother Du, I didn't expect that the eldest grandson would invite me!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Du is so ready. Let the brothers go ahead and order the girls...oh no, order the music and wait for Brother Du!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go first. Brother Du, don't be in a hurry, come with me to take care of the eldest grandson!"
The Changsun family is one of the best in the Guanlong family.
The current head of the family, Sun Wuji, is an uncle of the state, the most favored minister around His Majesty, the current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the founder of Yitong Sansi, and the Duke of Qi. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is extremely powerful.
His son Changsun Chong, although his reputation in Chang'an City is not very good, he can't stand having such a good father!
Du He is also the son of Du Xiang.
This is called the second generation of top powerful people. They can only be jealous of them.
There was a chorus of responses, and all the very sensible people came in hand in hand.
This move made the boy waiting next to him look dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
It's hard to refuse such hospitality. Is your eldest grandson inviting you?
As expected of a child from a noble family, he is sure to get his thoughts and words.
Du He, who had seen off all his friends, picked up a pot of wine and a cup.
Show a confident, calm smile.
"Let's go, lead the way for me!"
…
A gentle knock on the door sounded...
"Come in!"
Changsun Chong glanced boredly.
The door opens.
Changsun Chong saw Du He striding in with wine in his hand, speaking directly with enthusiasm and deep apology.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the eldest grandson is here. I just made a lot of noise in the next hall. Please forgive me! I'm here to make amends with three drinks of fine wine!"
This time, there was a warm and apologetic line.
Changsun Chong was directly imprisoned.
But these words do sound very comfortable.
This Du He is indeed more capable than his stupid brother Du Gou that he has ever seen.
We are all the second generation of the royal family, and our parents are colleagues and friends.
Now that Du He said this, Changsun Chong found it harder to attack.
Looking around, Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and had no choice but to give up on what had just happened. He simply waved his hand and said.
"Ahem, no, no, no, brother Du, why don't we sit down together and have a drink?"
These words are nothing more than words of dismissal.
People gave him Changsun Chong's respect, but Changsun Chong couldn't be too stupid.
However, the dismissive words that others could easily hear made Du He pretend to be happy.
After a few excuses, he sat down without being humble or condescending.
After sitting down, Du He continued with an enthusiastic expression.
"Brother Zhangsun, everyone, there was a lot of interruption just now. Come on, let me toast you all!"
Drink it neatly and quickly.
Young people, misunderstandings come and go quickly. After a while, we became familiar with each other after a few words.
In the second-generation circle in Chang'an City, everyone has more or less heard of each other's reputation.
If it gets too big, it's just the parents stepping in.
Wouldn't it be best if we could be like-minded and come together now?
Changsun Chong no longer had any thoughts to kill.
The next moment, Du He was heard continuing to speak.
"Brother Changsun, I am now serving His Highness the Crown Prince. I often mention Brother Changsun to His Highness the Crown Prince. I have admired you for a long time, but now I am so lucky. Come on, Brother Changsun, I want to toast you again."
The admiring expression didn't look fake at all, which surprised Changsun Chong. After meeting a few looks, his vanity was greatly satisfied.
"Ahem, uh, blah, blah, blah, Brother Du is also a talented person, with extraordinary knowledge, just like Prime Minister Du!"
His expression changed, and he replied while holding the wine glass.
This face is exaggerated.
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned him so often.
As expected, people around him were amazed and surprised, and the atmosphere became more lively.
This Du He was really to his liking, so Changsun Chong immediately introduced him with an eager face.
"Come on, let me introduce you to Brother Du. This is from the household of the Minister of Household Affairs... This is..."
After a few words of introduction, we got to know each other well and complimented each other.
Du He, just like his father, thinks he is smarter than his peers.
After a few words, they just hooked up and the two brothers were fine.
Had a few drinks.
Changsun Chong and Du He were already chatting happily.
"Ahem, Brother Du, I wonder where His Highness the Prince mentioned me?"
Come to think of it, although His Highness the Prince is a cousin with him, firstly, they have the courtesy of a monarch and minister, and secondly, the Prince who has been dumbfounded since childhood does not like her, and they have not had a close relationship since childhood.
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince still admires him so much?
Du He seemed to have already prepared the draft, and without any panic, he spoke slowly.
"Alas, in terms of the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, the eldest grandson is the cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness has admired him since he was a child! Moreover, the prince often said that the eldest grandson's talent, learning and martial arts are the first among his peers. His highness the prince admires him endlessly, and also You must imitate Master Changsun more!"
If I could help His Highness reconcile with his brother, wouldn't it be another achievement?
Du He felt bright for a moment.
And this is something that a normal person can hear some clues about, but at this moment, the eldest grandson is already being praised.
The fellow travelers around me were also amazed, flattering, and saying good things.
Changsun Chong, on the other hand, waved his hands repeatedly to show his humility. This deliberate and artificial look made people want to punch him.
After a few compliments, Du He was also confused.
It seems that Changsun Chong, the two idiots, has no quarrel with His Highness the Crown Prince?
That's all, maybe it's not good enough for outsiders.
He said good things about him.
Then he spoke slowly and said something subtle with his eyes——
"Ahem, brother eldest grandson, to tell you the truth, His Highness the Prince recently prepared a gift for brother eldest grandson, which will be delivered to brother eldest grandson's house soon."
Changsun Chong, who was so flattered by the admiration, looked surprised. Looking at the envious expressions of his two friends around him, he didn't even ask why and said with a humble expression.
"Alas, Your Highness is determined, how can I accept it?"
Du He immediately pretended to look straight and continued to speak.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been a bright light to Brother Changsun! If Brother Changsun can't accept it, who in the world can?"
After saying that, Du He gave him a look that everyone understood.
However, he was ignored by Changsun Chongzi, who was in a presumptuous mood at the moment.
Alas, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince has really admired me for a long time!
This is a big deal!
It seems that I should get closer to His Highness the Crown Prince more in the future.
The two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks exchanged cups, and the more they drank, the happier they became.
He drank for more than an hour and then dispersed.
