Chapter 1940 Winter Gathering
Although living in the Tang Dynasty, it was inevitable to follow the crowd, but Fang Jun did not intend to personally participate in the human trafficking.
Even though the entire channel was built by him, his original intention was to help Datang develop faster and obtain more labor, but he never wanted to get involved in this benefit with his own hands.
The education of later generations is deeply ingrained in him, and he will never touch money without conscience.
Even though this seems a bit deceptive, it is no different from setting up an archway when you are a cousin, but having an archway can finally give you some psychological comfort...
Xue Wanche was very excited. He had just decided to stay away from King Jing and get close to Fang Jun, and he got such a big gift package. "Qian Tu" Guangming was in a good mood, so when the servant of Duke Lu's mansion sent an invitation, saying that it was Cheng Chubi, Li Siwen, and Qu Tu Quan, Liu Renshi, Qin Yingdao and others gathered at Zuixian Tower. Xue Wanche immediately said that he would treat this meal as his own, and he would fight with anyone who dared to argue with him!
Fang Jun was speechless. Let's get together with our friends. What's up with you, this unshaven uncle?
However, Xue Wanche is a fool, and his enthusiasm is high at the moment. Even after trying to persuade him openly or secretly, Fang Jun can only let it go and take him with him...
*****
Everyone in Zuixianlou, from the madam to Mr. Turtle, to the girls and the waiters, all had their legs trembling when they saw Fang Jun. In fact, this guy had basically no good memories of Zuixianlou. Almost every time he came, It would have to cause some trouble.
Unfortunately, this man is now in a high position and is a close friend of his boss, the Prince of Hejian. Not only do they not dare to turn him away, they don't even dare to show the slightest hint of hesitation on his face. With a smile on his face, he served him with all his might, lest this guy would be dissatisfied and make a big fuss again...
When Fang Jun and Xue Wanche went upstairs together and went straight to the elegant room, the Madam of Zuixian Tower immediately ordered them to go down. From now on, any descendant of aristocratic families in Beijing will block them and not receive them. The reason is that Zuixian Tower It has been taken over by Fang Jun.
She was really afraid that someone would offend Fang Jun unsightly. Now the elegant room was filled with second-generation nobles, all of them full of arrogance and arrogance. Now there was added Xue Wanche, who was even more inconspicuous... Once there was a conflict, they would still Shouldn't the whole Zuixian Building be demolished?
……
Xue Wanche has always felt that he is very good at playing. Although he doesn't read many books, he definitely has a lot of knowledge. He can also play with ease. He can play with cockfighting, lackeys, sensuality, food, drink, prostitution and gambling. He even plays with pretty young boys. Pass.
But there is a huge copper hot pot in this room, with a dazzling array of meats, vegetables and sauces, and even a few thinly sliced seafood sent from the East China Sea, which appeared in Chang'an City in the cold winter and were more expensive than gold. Then men and women sat on the floor, carrying wine jars. Drink happily, use chopsticks to fish out fragrant thin slices of mutton, vegetables, and seafood from the hot pot from time to time, and then laugh and make a noise...
These are all descendants of distinguished families!
Even though some of our ancestors came from rough backgrounds, after so many years of being pampered and well-off, who has not been a fan of food and developed a set of rules?
Moreover, these people present are all the most popular singers and courtesans in Zuixian Tower. They have been carefully trained. Many of them were prisoners and were also ladies in the world. They are particular about smiling without missing a beat. , Yumo raised his lips, but at the moment, everyone was acting wildly, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing a forearm that was as good as the snow, sitting cross-legged on the mat, laughing, leaning forward and back with his hairpins messed up, showing no signs of a lady. deportment.
This is so fun...
Zhang Da'an sat facing the door of the room. The third son of Zou Guogong and Zhang Gongjin did not have the manners of an imperial tutor. He was holding a noble man in his arms and was letting the beauty use her slender white jade fingers to pull an emerald green ball into his arms. He stuffed the grapes into his mouth and even sucked on the slender fingertips...
Seeing Fang Jun open the door and enter, Zhang Daan hurriedly looked at the grapes and clapped his hands: "Why did Erlang just come? I've been waiting for a long time!"
Fang Jun glanced around and said with a half-smile: "So, since we can't wait any longer, let's start the banquet first, right?"
Zhang Daan smiled and said: "Erlang misunderstood, it's not that we don't want to wait for a long time, but the beauty is here. It's better not to let the beauty grow hungry, right?"
After saying this, there was a burst of jealousy, and the beauty in his arms was squirming like a boneless snake, cooing and coyly saying: "Sanlang is really too much, you have described my daughter's family like this, how can anyone want her?" ”
Zhang Da'an was about to make a joke when he suddenly saw a huge head sticking out from behind Fang Jun. He was looking at the situation in the room with wide eyes and interest. He was startled, stopped hurriedly, and put his arms around. The beauty inside pushed away, hurriedly covered her clothes, stood up and saluted, "My nephew has seen Duke Wu'an..."
The Zhang family had no friendship with the Xue family, and Zhang Gongjin even had constant quarrels with Xue Wanche when he was alive. On the night of Xuanwu Gate, it was Zhang Gongjin who guarded the Xuanwu Gate alone, blocking Xue Wanche, Feng Li, Xie Shufang and others from the door. His Majesty Li Er Only then did he calmly kill his brother and his brother to settle the world, so Xue Wanche hated him deeply.
However, Xue Wanche's current status was lofty, and Zhang Daan was just a student of the Imperial Academy without even a title, so naturally he did not dare to take him seriously.
When he stood up and saluted like this, everyone else also noticed Xue Wanche, and they all stood up and saluted one by one. Their attitude was quite respectful, but they all were confused in their hearts - didn't it mean that Fang Er and Xue Laosan were not on good terms? Why did we end up in the same place today? It seems that we are quite close...
Xue Wanche walked out from behind Fang Jun, waved his hand, and said casually: "Without any courtesy, we are all our brothers, why should we meet outsiders?"
Zhang Daan, Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi and others looked at each other in confusion.
My brother?
Please, you are a famous general with the same name as our father. You are brothers with us. How can we talk about seniority?
Xue Wanche is a person who has no scheming and is a familiar person. He usually likes to play with the juniors, such as Du He, Chai Lingwu, the former Fang Yiai, etc., and even the children of the royal family such as Li Ke, who do not put on airs when they are together. You can play as much as you want, and it is very popular among the juniors.
At this moment, he did not regard himself as an outsider, and simply found a place to sit. He did not pay attention to the position of guest and host. Anyway, everyone sat on the floor, and it was more comfortable to be casual.
After sitting down, he waved his hands repeatedly: "What are you doing standing around? Eat and drink when you should, treat me like your big brother, don't restrain me, lest you don't have a good time!"
Everyone looked at Fang Jun.
In the past, Fang Jun's presence was not high. The leaders in this small circle were Li Siwen and Chang Sun Huan. When Fang Jun suddenly emerged, he rose to the top with an unstoppable trend. Not only did he achieve the status of a marquis, but he also gained a high position. Juexian was highly regarded by the emperor, and he had a vague aura of "big brother taking the lead". Everyone respected him, honored him, and were willing to follow his advice.
Fang Jun looked at General Xue who had already held a singer in his arms and allowed the singer to feed him a "leather cup". He scratched his eyebrows, spread his hands helplessly, and said: "You are all welcome, open up and play." Just fine.”
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Siwen was the most active and sat very close to Xue Wanche. He immediately sat down, toasted Xue Wanche, and said with a smile: "My uncle is a famous general in the world. We often hear our elders talking about his achievements at home, and they ask us to follow my uncle's example. I always thought that my uncle had a serious and respectful character, but I didn’t know he was so cheerful. Come on, my nephew wants to toast my uncle.”
Xue Wanche held the wine glass but did not drink it. Instead, he stared at Li Siwen and asked, "Your father talked about me at home and asked you to use me as an example?"
Li Siwen nodded and said: "It's true!"
Xue Wanche was immediately overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Mother! Li Ji, an old man, used to have a straight face with me all day long, as if I owed him money! I thought this man looked down on me, a big old man, but he turned out to be secretly secretive. I am also very impressed, haha, good, good, drinking holy!”
He immediately raised his head and drank a glass of strong wine in one gulp. He was not affected by last night's hangover at all, which showed that he had a great capacity for drinking.
Li Siwen's face darkened.
You are such a talkative old man and keep your mouth shut. Do you think I don't exist?
But seeing Xue Wanche's beard and eyebrows twitching in excitement, he didn't bother to argue with him. The words spoken at the wine table were not meant to be taken seriously. Furthermore, who doesn’t know that this man is a fool and would dare to break the rules even in front of the emperor?
When Fang Jun took the seat, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
We were both childhood playmates. Although as we grow older and the status gap grows, we gradually have different thoughts and are not as pure as before, but this friendship cannot be faked, even if there is some faint flattery in my heart. His thoughts were not too obvious. (End of chapter)
