Chapter 325: An Invitation from the Yan Mansion
The naughty kid can be said to be living in dire straits these days.
Can't be lazy or sneaky, the naughty child's anger towards Zhu Pingan has reached the point of being pointed out.
However, fortunately, the naughty kid was freed on the third day, because that country bumpkin brother-in-law was invited to dinner by some bullshit Yanfu people! The reason why the naughty kid added the word "shit" in front of Yan's Mansion was entirely because the man from Yan's Mansion was so rude, his eyes almost grew to the sky. He didn't give his father any face, and he also took out the words from the house. A lot of things were taken away!
Grandma and mother seemed very unhappy in the past two days. Grandma even lost her temper with mother, saying she had lost all her money! What a waste! The money is all gone, so why do you give so many good things to that bullshit Yan Mansion!
However, these naughty children's happiness disappeared after Zhu Ping'an was invited to a banquet by people from the Yan Mansion, because he could play happily with his sister Niu'er again.
The man who came to Huaihou Mansion to deliver an invitation to Zhu Ping'an in the morning, after accepting the gift from Linhuai Marquis, dropped the invitation and said "Don't be late", patted his butt and left. . He is really a third-rank official in front of the prime minister, and he has a lot of airs.
The invitation is very simple, with only one short sentence: It is a day of drinking and drinking, and I have gathered together to gather together and take a break, so I don’t know what the night will be like. But the signature should not be underestimated. The signature is "East Building". Donglou, this is no ordinary person, this is the name of Yan Shifan, the "princeling" of the Ming Dynasty, the sole heir to Mr. Yan Ge. Yan Shifan's nickname was Yingqin, with the courtesy name Deqiu and the nickname Donglou. This dear friend should already be in the high position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
This person is not a simple person. Nowadays, the titles of "Great Prime Minister" and "Little Prime Minister" are widely circulated in the government and the public. The "Great Prime Minister" refers to Yan Song, and the so-called "Little Prime Minister" refers to Yan Song's only son Yan Shifan. This is not a good name. It is ironic that the Yan family and his son regard state affairs as child's play. Of course, it may still be a good name in Yan Shifan's ears. This person is not a low-key person.
Zhu Pingan was very curious about Yan Song and Yan Shifan. History has put these two people on the cross of shame, but I still want to see it with my own eyes. In other words, the last time I saw Yan Ge Lao spitting on West Chang'an Street, it made me sick. I hope it won't be so heavy this time.
Therefore, after the person who sent the invitation left, Zhu Ping'an took the invitation and rode a black horse to the Yan Mansion alone.
The naughty kid and the little loli were sticking their butts out in a garden of the Hou Mansion. When he was digging in the soil to find bugs, Zhu Ping'an had already arrived at West Chang'an Street. West Chang'an Street is close to Xiyuan, where Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality and alchemy. The people living on this street are high-ranking officials and dignitaries who hold real power, the most prominent of which is the Yan Mansion.
There was a lot of traffic in front of Yan's Mansion, and officials in official uniforms came and went. Those who didn't know thought that hundreds of officials were attending court here.
Looking at other people's BMWs and sedans, Zhu Ping'an looked at the dark horse under his own seat, and suddenly felt a sense of driving a second-hand Chery QQ to a park full of Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Such as the parking lot for luxury cars. However, this dark horse that kills horses also has a dragging attitude. The horse's head is not lowered, and it looks like it is drinking the wind and dew.
There were too many carriages, horses and sedans. Zhu Pingan dismounted from a distance and led the black horse to the gate of Yan's mansion.
Weiweiran, Yanfu; Huanghuangran, Yanfu.
But from the outside, Yan Mansion made Zhu Pingan feel "trench". The three- to four-meter-high courtyard wall is about to catch up with the city wall. This scale is probably not much different from the palace compound. Yan's mansion is more than three meters high and five meters wide, majestic and majestic. Most people's gates are in alleys. In the Yan Mansion, where I have been a minister for nearly ten years, the gates of the mansion will naturally not be opened in small alleys like ordinary people, but will open directly into the street; the color of the gates is also The vermilion color flaunts nobility.
In the feudal era, the palace had rich doors. A wealthy family is a symbol of rank.
The door of Yan's Mansion is vermilion red, with a golden lacquered pepper animal-faced ring on the door. Just looking at the door knocker gives people a feeling of indescribable power. Jiaotu is the fifth son of the nine sons of a dragon in ancient Chinese myths and legends. It looks like a snail and a clam, but it is much more domineering. It protects the home, likes to close its nest, and hates others entering its nest. In the nest, when encountering invasion by foreign objects, the shell mouth will always be tightly closed. Therefore, these wealthy people like to use its image as a door knocker to ward off evil spirits and protect the house.
Zhu Ping'an looked at the door of Yan's Mansion embedded with pepper pictures and animal faces. There is a feeling that property can only enter this house and cannot leave it.
It's quite vivid.
Many people brought gifts to pay their respects in front of Yan's Mansion. There was an endless stream of people giving gifts, queuing up dozens of meters away. Those who didn't know thought the crew was selecting extras here. Woolen cloth. These people didn't come empty-handed. Everyone brought heavy gifts, including gold and silver jewelry, antiques and paintings, etc. Some even used a horse-drawn carriage to pull a whole cart full of gifts. However, not everyone can enter the Yan Mansion. Most people can get in through gifts and donations, but not people. However, being able to send gifts also makes the visitor excited, as if he has been promoted and made a fortune.
There were also many people who, because the gifts they brought were not generous enough, submitted them to the gatekeeper. When the gatekeeper saw the gift list, his face turned dark and he kicked them out. The man who was kicked out also smiled at the door, but dared not speak out in anger.
Only a few people will be invited into the mansion by the disciples.
Zhu Ping'an was holding the black horse that killed the horse. He had nothing to wear and his sleeves were windy. He lined up behind the gift-giving team, which aroused the attention of a group of people. This silly boy wanted to enter Yan's mansion while holding a crossbow horse. It would be strange not to be beaten out! In particular, the few friends who had been kicked out earlier were waiting aside to watch Zhu Pingan's jokes.
The disciples of the Yan Mansion are very efficient, and they seem to be very efficient at receiving gifts. Soon it will be Zhu Pingan's turn.
"Where's the gift list?"
Menzi held the tea cup without raising his head, and stretched out his hand out of habit and asked.
“Nothing.”
A clear voice sounded above the door.
This answer was something Menzi had never heard before, which made Menzi raise his head in disbelief.
I’ll go, how dare you come without a gift card! Treat our Yan family as a gang of beggars!
Menzi looked up and saw a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a very elegant crossbow horse and standing in front of him with the corners of his lips curled up.
Your sister, there is no gift list, There is no gift, but the corners of the lips are curled up! You are stupid!
Menzi's face darkened, and just as he was about to blurt out words of scolding, he saw the young man holding an invitation in his hand and handing it to him.
The invitation card is gold-plated and has a simple style.
The first time I saw this invitation, I suppressed my scolding words. I looked at Zhu Pingan's face with probing eyes, and then took the invitation from Zhu Pingan's hand. Come here, this is the standard invitation from the Yan Mansion. The people who can receive the invitation from the Yan Mansion are not ordinary people, but this guy looks ordinary, especially the crossbow horse next to him, which is too cheap.
Could it be that the invitation was fake?
Menzi opened the invitation hesitantly and saw the word "East Tower" signed in the invitation. The font was too familiar to him and there was absolutely no suspicion of it being fake. Thinking about the banquet in the house today, it was very strange. The general public cannot participate. So Menzi quickly shut up and invited Zhu Ping'an into the Yan Mansion.
Going in right now? !
Watching the disciples invite Zhu Pingan into the Yan Mansion, the people waiting outside the Yan Mansion to see Zhu Pingan's jokes, and waiting to see Zhu Pingan being beaten and scolded all opened their eyes in disbelief. You were invited in without giving? !
It’s rare to say that the rumors are wrong. Master Yan is a clean man and has a heart of ice in a jade pot?
So, someone behind him imitated Zhu Ping'an and Qingfeng to visit the Hou Mansion. However, they were scolded out fiercely.
In this regard, people can only envy Zhu Ping'an. If he enters the Yan Mansion, he will not be able to flourish in the future. (End of this chapter)
