Chapter 2825 Deliberately Targeting


Chapter 2825 Deliberately Targeting

Fang Jun was also a little surprised. His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, was indeed smart and smart, with a high IQ. However, due to his somewhat soft personality, he always pushed others to take the lead while he was secretly preparing for it. It was inevitable that he lacked responsibility, but What's going on with this unusual behavior right now?

His thoughts were whirling, but there was no sign of it on his face. He smiled and said: "Your Highness is very brave! But when two armies are facing each other, courage alone is not enough. You also need some ability to win! Today, someone made your Highness understand that courage is absolutely ineffective. Make up for the gap in strength!”

He also raised his glass and drank it all, and personally held the pot to pour wine for Li Zhi.

Everyone looked at each other, this was a fight...

Moreover, there was something in Fang Jun's words. Everyone could understand what was going on, but they didn't dare to get involved. They could only look away and drink wine while keeping their ears open.

Li Zhi, who had struggled to muster up the courage, could not stand up to Fang Jun's domineering behavior. When he saw Fang Jun raising his glass again, he could only forcefully smile and raise his glass.

One cup is drunk, one cup is full again.

Drink three glasses in a row.

Li Zhi was not a good drinker, and he was young and a little thin. After drinking these three glasses of wine, he suddenly felt a surge in his chest and abdomen, and the hot smell of alcohol came up his throat, making him feel nauseous and uncomfortable. There was also some blur in front of my eyes.

Seeing Fang Jun filling up the wine glass again, he couldn't help but groan.

Go ahead and face the difficulties, your momentum is enough, but this pain is really hard to swallow. To suffer a loss just for the sake of so-called masculinity, is this what a smart person should do?

I suffered so much...

The courage he had just summoned was instantly gone. He rolled his eyes, and when he saw Fang Jun, he raised his wine glass again and said quickly: "There are five of my brothers here, but the Duke of Yue is just staring at me, not to mention If you win without force, how can you not take your brothers into consideration?”

As soon as these words came out, Li Tai sighed.

This kid still has such a naughty temper. It is said that one's nature is easy to change, so all his teachings are in vain...

The princes-in-law also secretly thought that this was the right thing to do. The King of Jin had always been so evasive and roundabout, how could he swallow the pain despite knowing it? It's just that everyone knows Fang Jun's drinking capacity, and they are looking for you, but you have to pull your brothers out to support him. This is a bit unkind.

It can be seen that Li Zhi's nature is like this.

I can't help but shake my head secretly, after all, I still lack responsibility...

The king of Shu, Li Min, was the most upright and reckless. After hearing Li Zhi's words, he suddenly felt the same hatred as the enemy. He immediately raised his wine glass and said to Fang Jun: "I am young and have a limited capacity for drinking. Erlang, you are a hero of the world. How can you do that?" Are you bullying the younger? Come on, let me show you how much you can drink. Only one of us can walk out of this side hall standing today!"

Everyone looked at Li Min and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Although this guy is of noble blood, he is not as deep and intelligent as his brother Wu King Li Ke. He is probably missing a muscle in his mind. He usually behaves so unscrupulously that His Majesty Li Er often cursed "such a beast" in anger. That's all. They are all members of the family here. Everyone else can see Li Zhi's plan of "driving trouble eastwards" and everyone is silent. Why are you the only one to stand up without thinking about it?

Maybe in your opinion, this is to protect brotherhood, but in the eyes of Li Zhi, you are clearly a reckless man...

Fang Jun was also a little speechless. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Tai glance at Li Min and said calmly: "Brother Youwei is here, where is your turn to take the lead?"

Li Min raised his eyebrows and waited for a retort. He didn't feel that Li Tai was defending himself, but instead felt that he was refuting his face in public. However, his sleeves were pulled hard by Li Yun beside him a few times. He turned around to see Li Tai. Yun winked to tell him to shut up, then put down the glass in confusion.

Fang Jun looked at Li Tai for a while. He had been protecting Li Zhi all day today, and now he was protecting Li Min, King of Shu. Could it be that he wanted to show his temperament, demeanor and responsibility as an elder brother?

Do you want to be the grand master of the royal family in the future?

However, he also saw Li Tai's calming attitude, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Your Highness is generous and kind, and we all admire him. However, we traveled to the south of the Yangtze River together a few days ago, and His Highness was always drunk at banquets. , I am resigned to the defeat, what’s the matter, since I dare to stand up for my brother now, do I think I am vulnerable to fighting alone?”

Princess Qinghe's consort Cheng Chuliang immediately echoed: "How can we fight alone? I, together with Erlang, learned about His Highness the King of Wei's drinking capacity!"

Dou Kui shouted excitedly: "Come on, come on, today the consort will fight the prince, who will win? Let's talk after drinking!"

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became lively. Everyone was gearing up, changing glasses, and one glass after another of fine wine was poured down their throats. Even though their faces were red due to the alcohol, neither party was willing to admit defeat.

Many guests outside heard the endless shouting and shouting in the side hall, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder. Since ancient times, the prince-in-law had never heard of the prince's drinking banquet at this banquet. Now, the group of sons and sons-in-law of His Majesty Li Er are enjoying the wine and the atmosphere is harmonious. It is indeed a bit of a prosperous age...

*****

The front yard was bustling with people and wine, but the back yard had slowly become quiet as the guests gradually left.

Princess Gaoyang sat on a chair and slowly drank hot tea, her beautiful little face dyed red. She had had a few drinks with several princesses earlier and was a little tipsy. Now that the guests had left, she sat down Come down and wake up, take a shower and then go to bed.

Wu Meiniang was sitting at the table, holding a writing brush in one hand and an abacus in the other. Jin Shengman read out the congratulations on the account book, and she took notes and carefully arranged the congratulations.

The New Year is almost here, and everyone who comes to congratulate them will have to return a New Year gift. It may not be as expensive as the congratulatory gifts sent by each family, but it cannot be too thin, otherwise it will be too rude. In particular, no one family should be left behind.

The family residence of the Shili family is very particular about this kind of human exchanges. Even if it is just a poor relative from a distant place who sends a basket of eggs, he must return the gift. If it is neglected and forgotten, it will be a big deal if it spreads. A joke, and even earned a reputation as "snobbish and cool".

Since Wu Meiniang entered the Fang family, these human relations matters have been in her hands. Even Fang Xuanling and the mistress Lu Shi have approved of it, and others will naturally not question it.

"Taichang Shaoqing Zhang Dun, five hundred taels of gold, a white jade Buddha statue, and one hundred pieces of fine Suzhou embroidery... Gee, this is too generous, isn't it?"

Jin Shengman read He Yi's account book and couldn't help but marveled.

She is the princess of Silla, and she was once regarded as the next monarch of Silla. Her vision is naturally not comparable to that of a girl from an ordinary family, but even so, she can't help but marvel at such a congratulatory gift.

At this time, gold had not yet been mined on a large scale, and there was very little gold circulating in the world. Copper coins were mostly used as currency. In addition, there were no gold mines in Silla, so I was very surprised by the number "five hundred taels".

It's just an ordinary favor, so why be so generous?

Wu Meiniang wrote and copied this congratulatory gift into another account book. She smiled when she heard this and said, "What's so surprising about this? When the princess came in, there were countless congratulatory gifts at home that were heavier than this one." Number.”

After all, Fang Jun and Fang Yize have different statuses, which can be perfectly reflected in the congratulatory ceremony.

Even when Fang Jun took concubines, the congratulatory gifts he received filled up all the warehouses in the mansion. Some people once said that they were almost worth a year's tax of a medium-sized state... But now the custom is like this, weddings and funerals are not allowed. It is normal to celebrate with gifts. Otherwise, you will have to ask the censor to impeach you, saying that you are taking the opportunity to make money.

Princess Gaoyang, who was drinking tea leisurely beside her, frowned, put down her tea cup, and said curiously: "Zhang Dun? Not long ago, she was blushing because of the incident between San Lang and the daughter of the Zhang family. How could this happen? How many days do you have to give such a big gift?”

Wu Meiniang stopped writing, thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I don't know either, but two days ago, Mr. Lang invited Song Guogong to visit the Zhang family. This matter has been spread for a long time. The details are unknown, but it must be that the hostility turned into friendship. ?”

She didn't find it strange. She was just a Taichang Shaoqing, and behind her was only a Zhang family from Jiangdong. How could her husband be the one to deal with the situation? This is why now that Lang Jun is in a high position and cherishes his feathers, he always pays attention to "convincing people with virtue". Otherwise, if it were done in the past, I am afraid he would not be able to knock on the door...

Princess Gaoyang nodded.

At this time, the maid came in to add water, and Princess Gaoyang asked casually: "Is your husband still with the guests in the front hall?" (End of Chapter)
