"Ha ha ha ha!"
That's the so-called head start. Everyone, who was still a little loose at first, unconsciously tidied up their appearance.
Everyone saw Shang Ziyin striding up to the main seat with his clothes loose.
Han Ying looked at the slightly nervous people and couldn't help but think of Xiang Yu described in the history books. When he defeated Zhang Han, all the princes said that "no one dared to look up to him". It can be said that one person can dominate the crowd. At this time Shang Ziyin is like the only king in the world, so he naturally makes people fall in love with him. Thinking of this, Han Ying couldn't help but glance at Yan Huan'er with disgust again, her brows furrowed. However, when Han Ying turned around, she found that Wei Binye opposite was secretly drinking wine on the seat.
This made Han Ying also feel disgusted. This ungrateful and dignified guy! Han Ying cursed in her heart.
Wei Binye knew that he had been seen, but he didn't care. Wei Binye was willing to bet that Shang Ziyin knew the rumors about him "holding wine in his mouth and holding a pot in his arms", so it would be fine for him to drink. What's more, not to mention Shang Ziyin, even if Shang Wuyi came, I could still drink in front of him! Wei Binye knew that he couldn't get involved in anything, but he also knew why his father fell in love with him, because he was "like himself"...
Shang Ziyin had long sensed Wei Binye's behavior of secretly drinking, but he didn't say anything. After all, the part of the Black Ice Platform he controlled was a person who said that Wei Binye's character had "no great faults and no great achievements." Moreover, he is also addicted to drinking. The reason why Wei Chang'e chose this boy is probably a big part of the reason. Among the many heirs who are unlikely to become great talents, this Wei Binye will not cause trouble.
Therefore, Shang Ziyin didn't pay too much attention.
Seeing that Shang Ziyin didn't say anything, Wei Binye actually took a big sip of wine from the flask again and winked at Li Binyang beside him. Li Binyang and Wei Binye were very close friends. At that time, the Li family was in turmoil, and Li Binyang was in a bad situation. Very bad, Wei Binye had secretly helped Li Binyang a lot, so even though Li Binyang actually listened to Zhao Yueheng, he listened more to Wei Binye's words.
Li Binyang shook his head and said nothing. The water here was very deep and Li Binyang couldn't grasp it yet, so it was better to be careful, so he gave Wei Binye a restrained look.
Wei Binye then put the wine glass back where it was. No words were spoken.
Zhao Yueheng was the first to say, "His Highness made it easier for me to wait. I wonder why His Highness asked me to wait today?"
Shang Ziyin laughed directly and said, "Prince Zhao has been practicing tirelessly for many years. We all know this. It seems that I wasted his time in cultivation."
Although the tone was joking, Zhao Yueheng still quickly replied with a smile, "I don't dare. I'm just curious as to why His Highness came to me."
Everyone looked at Shang Ziyin in unison this time. After all, everyone wanted to know why Shang Ziyin had brought everyone here.
Shang Ziyin smiled nonchalantly and said, "Can't I invite you to have a drink if there is nothing to do?"
Everyone was a little embarrassed. After all, who would have thought that Shang Ziyin could answer like this, and no one believed that Shang Ziyin would have such a simple reason.
Just when everyone didn't know how to answer, Wei Binye said directly, "Your Highness is right! Let me drink first!"
Everyone looked at Wei Binye with some helplessness, but the atmosphere was relieved at least, so everyone smiled and relaxed slowly.
Han Ying glanced at Wei Binye, who was blushing, and showed an expression of boredom. Regarding Wei Binye, she felt that this kind of person was as useless as Wu Yu, but Wu Yu was hiding his weakness, while Wei Binye was like this Clearly cowardly.
At this time, the atmosphere was opened up, so Shang Ziyin asked the palace servants to come forward to add wine and food for everyone to taste, but everyone only tasted it briefly, and no one except Wei Binye went to eat all the time.
However, although Wei Binye kept eating, he did not eat in a vulgar manner. After all, he was the face of Wei Guogong, and he was a member of the Duke's family, so how could he not take advantage of it. It's just that everyone stopped using their chopsticks after taking one bite, but Wei Binye kept eating, so he seemed a bit different.
Wei Binye stopped after taking a few bites. After all, he didn't want to be too conspicuous.
At this time, everyone paused again. Zhao Yueheng took this opportunity to raise his glass and started chatting with Na Yan Zhixing. Although it was just some ordinary things, the conversation was very speculative. Seeing this, Li Binyang also started chatting with Wei Binye. For a while, Han Ying and Wu Yu were isolated.
Shang Ziyin looked at all this with a smile, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Han Ying and Wu Yu were assisted by merchants, so the attitude of the other four towards these two people actually reflected everyone's attitude towards the royal family today.
The respect of the past is long gone, and the respect now is just superficial.
Shang Ziyin didn't say anything, just looked at it. Just keep all this in mind. For him, there is no need to do anything yet, the time has not yet come.
Although the banquet at this time seemed to be very lively, with everyone constantly urging each other to drink or tasting the exquisitely arranged dishes on the table, in fact everyone had their own thoughts.
Zhao Yueheng and Yan Zhixing deliberately isolated Han Ying. They drank while making eye contact.
This time Shang Ziyin directly notified the major princes to invite everyone. Zhao Yueheng thought like this, then slowly raised the glass and drank it. The water flowed from the corner of his mouth, to his chin, and then to his neck, and slowly flowed into two cursive fonts under his Adam's apple. Character. It is the font of Huai Su, a master of cursive calligraphy in the ancient Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Yueheng and Yan Zhixing both liked Huaisu's cursive calligraphy, so although it was sloppy, Yan Zhixing could understand the word "demonstration".
After seeing this, Yan Zhixing stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Zhao has a good capacity for drinking. Come on, come on, have another glass of wine!"
Zhao Yueheng immediately waved his hand, and some of the wine in the cup spilled out, dripping onto the word. The word "demonstration" was immediately confused, and it was impossible to tell what it was.
Although Shang Ziyin stared at everyone, he did not see clearly the mystery between Zhao and Yan. However, Shang Ziyin also noticed something strange.
After all, Zhao Yueheng was secretly competing with him, so he was very concerned about his appearance. Now that the wine was dripping on his clothes and chest, something must have happened. It's a pity that I didn't see it clearly.
Yan Zhixing took a sip of wine and began to taste the food on the table.
Yan Zhixing understood the word "demonstration" after thinking about it for a moment.
During Shang Ziyin's demonstration, there were two demonstrations, one was a merchant demonstration, and the other was to show his power.
This banquet is a banquet hosted by merchants to entertain the princes of various countries. It is an external demonstration to express an attitude to the people of Hangu Pass and even the Central Plains. That is, although Hangu is absolutely dominated by the emperor and has transformed into a structure headed by aristocratic families, he still has to Respect the royal merchants. This is an external demonstration.
The second one is to go inward and demonstrate to these aristocratic families. On the one hand, Shang Ziyin is not the eldest son but he can entertain the princes of various countries. This shows his majesty. The other point is that through this banquet, he tells Many aristocratic families in Hangu, including the six top aristocratic families in your family, must also bow to my merchant, let alone you?
So even if Shang Ziyin doesn't do anything, he will still make a profit without losing anything.
Thinking of this, Yan Zhixing couldn't help but glance at Shang Ziyin. Shang Ziyin felt Yan Zhixing's gaze and greeted him with a smile. The two looked at each other for a while and then left again.
Na Yan Zhixing felt that the old eunuch who had been standing outside the door was staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart. He always felt that he was being used by Shang Ziyin. Zhao Yueheng was sitting next to Yan Zhixing, so he naturally knew Yan Zhixing's condition, so he directly pressed the back of Yan Zhixing's hand with one hand and said to him with a smile, "Come on, keep drinking."
The back of Yan Zhixing's hand felt slight pain from the strong pressure from Zhao Yueheng's hand, but he immediately reacted. So he drank alone with a sullen face.
After Wei Binye and Li Binyang drank a few sips of wine, they actually asked Wu Yu to drink together. Wu Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shang Ziyin. After seeing Shang Ziyin raising the jade pendant to him, Wu Yu started drinking with Wei Binye.
Li Binyang looked at Wei Binye, who was quite drunk, with a speechless expression. I am really speechless.
At this time, Han Ying was sitting alone in her seat, looking very lonely.
Li Binyang watched Wei Binye and Wu Yu arguing and drinking, and didn't want to get involved for a moment.
Out of boredom, he looked around, only to see Han Ying sitting there alone, looking cold and cold. Suddenly I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart.
Han Ying felt someone was looking at him, and after looking over, she directly met Li Binyang's eyes.
Sometimes things are just such a small thing, but no matter how absurd and false it seems to others, once it happens, it becomes reasonable.
Li Binyang just glanced at Han Ying, and Han Ying remembered it. Although the two quickly lost their gaze, they actually knew what the other person was like.
Yan Huan'er was pouring wine for Shang Ziyin, but Shang Ziyin waved his hand to signal Yan Huan'er to stop, and then said to the six people, "Today's drinking should be for fun."
Everyone immediately cast curious glances at Shang Ziyin.
Shang Ziyin waved his hand and said slowly, "The ancients had a stream of curved water. Today, they use spiritual power as water to carry this stream. One person passes it to the next. If the next person can catch it, he is considered a winner." , if you can't catch it, you have to find a way to make the next person unable to catch it. Find the person who can catch it and come out."
Shang Ziyin looked at everyone and saw that no one objected, so he added, "If you can win the first place, there will naturally be a reward, and that is a chance to enter the Duijin Tower."
Everyone who was originally a little uninterested was immediately aroused and became interested. Duijin Tower, after Shang Jun entered the customs, he renamed Zhu Chenglu, the Ming Dynasty's Buddhist scripture collector, Duijin Tower.
It inherits rare treasures from the Great Yuan Dynasty (Hanguguan Chengyun Palace is the Great Yuan North Palace) and the Ming Dynasty until today. It can really be said that jade is like tiles and gold is like crumbs.
Therefore, it can be said that many people want to go in and take a look at the things inside. However, this building belongs to Shang Jun after all, so few people can go in. Shang Ziyin's first prize this time is quite generous.
