Chapter 326: The Accusation on the Spot

I don’t know the true face of Yan’s house, just because I am in this house.

Yan Mansion is very large and covers a wide area, covering the width of one, two, three and four streets. It is much wider than the average campus. The first thing you see when you enter Yan Mansion is a large garden. , the garden is also divided into three roads, east, middle and west, leading to different areas of Yan Mansion. There is also a lake in the garden that is obviously dug manually. It can really be regarded as a lake. It is dozens of acres in size and has been planted in the garden. Hundreds of rare flowers and plants are already in full bloom in the early spring.

The black horse Sha Ma was led into the racecourse by the servants of the Hou Mansion. Zhu Pingan was given a bamboo sign with a vivid horse engraved on it and a font name. He could use this sign when leaving. Lead the horse. Zhu Ping'an followed another servant through the long west road of the mansion and headed to the courtyard where Yan's mansion hosted banquets. On the way, neatly dressed maids carrying fruits, vegetables, wine and food passed by in neat rows.

The servant leading the way looked at the graceful backs of the maids passing by and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

There was a burst of noise and the sound of silk and bamboo not far away, and the silhouette of dancing girls could be seen in the distance, and the banquet place was approaching.

Zhu Ping'an adjusted his sleeves with great interest and slowly walked into the banquet place step by step.

There were several incense burners at the banquet site to burn spices, and the light fragrance floated. The orderly potted flower arrangements enhanced the banquet a lot. The dancer in the red dress waved her colorful sleeves and danced with her bare feet. Dance, with singers and musicians playing music.

What attracted Zhu Ping'an's attention the most was the banquet's meandering water cup. In the middle of the banquet was a white jade rockery stone. Surrounding the rockery stone were piles of mountains. In the middle of the mountains, there were pipes carved from white jade. On the rocks were placed In the huge wine vat inlaid with gold and jade, the fine wine is rippling in the wine vat. The fine wine flows slowly along the white jade pipe like a clear stream. Guests sit around the piled mountains, and the fine wine from the fine liquor can flow into the wine glasses. .

If you don’t use a wine glass to catch the wine, the wine will flow into the card slot and disappear. It should be reusable.

Bear's paws, camel's hooves, scales and silk. Those who run in the mountains and those who swim in the water. The grassland is wavy, and everything that grows in the sky and on the ground is all made into delicacies and placed on the banquet like flowing water.

At this time, the banquet has begun, and the atmosphere is very lively. Everyone is surrounding a short, fat and thick fat man vying to be the first to flatter him. This big fat man is about thirty-seven or eighty years old. He is not tall and has a long neck. Somewhat short. The most distinctive thing is that one eye is blind, but the other eye is full of cunning and wit, as if it can see into your heart with just one look.

This one-eyed fat man is very energetic, so energetic that he gives people a feeling of arrogance and domineering.

Stubby, one-eyed, arrogant and domineering. When these factors are added together, Zhu Pingan can conclude that this man is the only son of Mr. Yan Ge. Yan Shifan, who is now the right minister of the Ministry of Industry.

It should be said that God is fair. Although God made Yan Shifan's fat and round man blind in one eye, he gave this man a super good IQ, and not only that. . This man was also good at psychology. It is recorded in history that "he was cunning and witty, knowledgeable and memorized. He was familiar with rules and regulations, and well versed in economic and current affairs. He was also energetic and capable of complicated dramas. He was especially good at figuring out the emperor's likes and dislikes. ”

Zhu Ping'an was led in by the servant of Yan Mansion. He informed inside, and then everyone saw Zhu Pingan standing at the door.

Why is such a young man here? I have never seen him before. People who usually hang out in the Yan Mansion are full of curiosity about Zhu Ping'an standing at the door.

"Who is coming?" A man sitting not far from Yan Shifan put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Pingan and asked in a dark voice.

This person is Luo Longwen, whose courtesy name is Hanzhang. He was originally an ink merchant and made his fortune in ink. He mastered the unique skill of making ink when he was young. He is good at using tung oil smoke to make high-quality ink. The ink he makes is called Mozhong. The king, the best of the best, a piece of ink is worth ten thousand dollars, and the supply exceeds demand. When he got rich, he wanted to gain some political capital, so after he made a fortune, he joined Yan Shifan's family and became Yan Shifan's secret guest. With Yan Shifan's support, he is now the head of Zhongshushe.

It can be said that this person is one of Yan Shifan's right-hand men.

"Xiahe Zhu Pingan, I am honored to receive an invitation from Master Yan, and come here to pay a visit."

Zhu Pingan was neither humble nor overbearing, and bowed to everyone. He was not at all intimidated by Luo Wenlong's questioning tone, and spoke leisurely replied.

"Zhu Pingan? Haha. Who is Zhu Pingan?" Luo Longwen couldn't help laughing twice when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Pingan with some disdain.

Hearing this, many people around him laughed, and most of them looked at Zhu Pingan with contempt.

Actually, when Zhu Pingan said his name, how many people would not know who Zhu Pingan was. After all, the examination is a major event for both the government and the public, and many of them are used to being strict. The people in the mansion, such as Luo Longwen, are not clear about the fact that Ouyang, the young master in Yan's mansion, missed his Huiyuan. It's just about taking sides.

In addition to these smiling people, there were other curious eyes at the banquet.

Amidst the laughter and scrutiny of everyone, Zhu Pingan remained calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and accepted the baptism of everyone's gaze calmly.

At this moment, the fat and plump Yan Shifan, the object of everyone's flattery, stood up with a smile, his shining single eye fell on Zhu Pingan, he stretched out a finger and pointed at Zhu Pingan, shaking his fat Face introduced to everyone: < br>
"Hanzhang, everyone, this person is not ordinary. You don't know him today, but one day he will be famous all over the world and will be deeply engraved in your minds. This is the Enke Examination Meeting. This Zhu Pingan, Zhu Zihou, Xiahe Village, Anqing Prefecture The famous child prodigy passed the provincial examination at the age of 13 and won the imperial examination, which was slightly ahead of Yang Ting and Yang Gelao who passed the imperial examination at the age of 12 in this dynasty. However, Yang Gelao went to the Beijing examination the next year after passing the imperial examination. However, his reputation was lost to Sun Shan. Until six years later, when I was 19 years old, I started again He passed the examination only when he entered the examination room."

After saying this, Yan Shifan glanced at everyone with his shining eyes, smiled slightly and meaningfully, and asked: "Do you know how old this person is?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Zhu Pingan and shook their heads, and said they didn't know.

"This person is only 14 this year, and he is already a Huiyuan at the age of 14! Yang Ge is no different." Yan Shifan waved his hand, nodding at Zhu Ping'an and said.

After hearing Yan Shifan's words, there were a lot of surprises at the banquet. Many of them did not expect that Zhu Pingan was so young. The 14-year-old Huiyuan is much more powerful than Yang Ge Lao. After all, Yang Ge Lao only passed the college entrance examination when he was nineteen years old. This person actually passed the college entrance examination at the age of 14, and he is still Huiyuan!

"14-year-old Huiyuan, no wonder, no wonder."

After everyone was surprised, a sinister voice sounded at the banquet, it was Luo Longwen who spoke at the beginning.

"No wonder?" someone asked.

"No wonder I have to put Brother Donglou in my eyes. No wonder I dare not to put Yan Mansion in my eyes. Brother Donglou thinks so highly of you. I send you an invitation and invite you to a banquet. Mr. Hui Yuan , 14-year-old Huiyuan is amazing. The banquet has been going on for a long time, and after three rounds of drinking, he arrived late. May I ask Duke Huiyuan? Are you aware of etiquette? You don’t know how to behave in a dignified manner, but you are not punctual. Are you not afraid of making people laugh at you? "< br>
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Luo Longwen's mouth, he looked at Zhu Ping'an secretly, and asked loudly.

Luo Longwen's language was quite inflammatory and skillful. As soon as he finished speaking, most of the people looked at Zhu Ping'an with a reproachful look. Not being punctual is not a good habit. Not being punctual is not a good habit. Sometimes people just don't keep their word. How can a person who doesn't keep his word be any better? (End of this chapter)
