Chapter 108 Gathering and Departure
In the middle of Yuan's manor, there is the Chongming Hall.
Singing and dancing, the long sleeves are fluttering, silk and bamboo are cluttered, and the wine is intoxicating.
Wen Rensheng sat cross-legged behind the long desk, watching the beautiful singing and dancing in front of him, which was really eye-opening.
The dancers are all dressed in Tang Dynasty costumes, with plump bodies, men and women, each one of them is the perfect choice for the moment.
If it weren't for the people behind the case, most of whom were still wearing modern clothes, he would have really thought he was dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty...
In the middle of the hall, there is a high platform, and sitting on the high platform is an old man in a long gown, E Guan Bo Dai , with a peaceful appearance and a smile on his face.
"Experts, thank you for traveling thousands of miles or even thousands of miles to come and help me. It really makes me proud. Come, let us drink this cup to the full and congratulate our great China on its prosperous life!" Changsha The old man held the wine cup high and greeted everyone.
Wen Rensheng picked up the wine in front of him and drank with others.
The old man on the stage is one of the protagonists who is applying for the guardianship this time, the old man of the Yuan family, Mrs. Su's great-grandfather, the mysterious master Yuan Shouyi.
It is said that my ancestor has the blood of the famous scholar "Yuan Tiangang" of the Tang Dynasty. He moved to the West for some reasons, so he particularly admires the customs of the Tang Dynasty.
This is not clinging, but has a clear genealogy to prove it.
After three drinks, everyone has introduced themselves one after another according to their seats.
At this time, Yuan Shouyi smiled, cupped his hands to everyone and said, "Everyone, I'm leaving now. You won't be able to enjoy yourself while I'm here, hahaha..."
Yuan Shouyi finished speaking. , came down from the high platform and came out from the back door, and the protagonists of the party in the hall became the mysterious experts.
The dancers in the palace came to the table one by one, serving them wine and food, talking and having fun.
As for the experts, some called for friends, some got up and walked around, and gradually gathered into small circles, drinking, talking and laughing.
The hall is vast, with more than thirty long tables arranged.
The gathering of more than thirty mysterious experts in one breath is enough to prove the power of the Su and Yuan families. After all, there are only a few thousand mysterious experts in the entire China, and most of them are impossible to come.
At this time, a female dancer also came towards Wen Rensheng. He just smiled and waved his hand.
The female dancer was surprised at first, then suddenly realized and smiled at him. After a while, a handsome male dancer came towards him.
Wen Rensheng stood up upon seeing this and was about to leave. A person with a pure nature like him is really not suitable to be in these places and join in the same dirty deeds with them...
But he had just walked a few steps, Just heard a "bang" sound.
"Bitch! Why are you serving this master? You're not even familiar with etiquette, so you just want to cling to me?" A grumpy voice sounded like the Yan Ze he had just seen during the day.
Wen Rensheng looked towards the source of the sound and saw a drunken Yan Ze sitting behind the desk.
Beside him, a weak woman was kneeling on the ground, covering half of her red face, trembling.
A wine baron was half poured on the table, and most of the glass of wine spilled out. Yan Ze's chest was already soaked with wine.
The other mysterious experts were all drinking and having fun on their own. Only a few people looked here, but no one spoke.
"Brother Yan, why is this?" Wen Rensheng thought for a while and walked over.
Yan Ze glanced at him and suddenly laughed "Haha": "It turns out to be Brother Wenren, it doesn't matter, she is just an ignorant maid."
Then he waved at the kneeling woman and said: "Get out of here, get out of here, don't get in the way of this gentleman. If it were a few hundred years ago, someone like you would have been pulled out. You have to thank this person now." The world is like this."
The woman looked happy, then grabbed her long skirt and hurriedly left outside the palace.
After driving away the woman, Yan Ze stood up, poured himself a glass of wine, and saluted Wen Rensheng: "Brother Wen Ren, my words were a little offensive during the day. I am an upright person, I hope you don't mind. . Let me borrow this glass of wine tonight to apologize to my brother."
Wen Rensheng smiled and just cupped his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, Brother Yan had good intentions during the day, but I am young and ignorant. I hope Brother Yan doesn't care about what he offended."
After finishing his drink, Yan Ze seemed to explain his behavior just now: "Brother, you really have a bad temper. , Gang is often corrupt, no one can keep their own rules, learn some superficial etiquette, and then come to show off and try to cling to others, which is really annoying. ”
At this time, a mysterious expert next to him had an ordinary appearance and was in his forties. He seemed to be a little drunk. Hearing this, he also shook his head:
"Isn't it? This Yuan family has been around for generations. The high school can only recruit some people from the society to fool us. These male and female dancers are unfamiliar with etiquette and unfamiliar with their dancing skills. They have obviously only received short-term training."
Wen Rensheng remained calm. He really didn't realize it at all. It was just a layman watching the fun, but an expert could see the door.
Yan Ze patted the expert: "Brother Fan, you are drunk."
"Oh, yes, yes, I am drunk, drunk," the expert The expert surnamed Fan shook his head and seemed to be covering up, "The luminous cup of grape wine will prompt you to drink the pipa immediately. Jun Moxiao, lying drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times?"
This is an unlucky thing to say. Wen Rensheng shook his head, bowed his hands to the two of them, said hello a few more times, then turned around and left.
The two watched him leave.
The expert surnamed Fan suddenly said: "This young man named Wen Rensheng is actually very powerful. Are you familiar with Brother Yan?"
"We just met, we are from the same palace. Stay." Yan Ze's eyes were complicated.
"This person doesn't seem to like the excitement, so we have to wait until the dinner party tomorrow." The expert surnamed Fan said with some regret.
The next day, just as the expert surnamed Fan said, it was another banquet.
And such a banquet lasted for seven days, Wen Rensheng was embarrassed to ask for leave from Mr. Zhao again.
It turns out that this is ancient style...
During the seven days of the banquet, he took the time to post his situation to the group.
"Are you here to help or to eat?" Wu Shanshan asked.
Wen Rensheng said helplessly: "To be honest, I am a little confused. At first I thought it was to deepen everyone's awareness of cooperation, but later I realized that they were just looking for an excuse to eat and drink..."
"What a pity. If I had known earlier, I would have followed him." Zhao Han sent out a big "depressed" emoticon.
But I called Mr. Zhao, who was very open-minded and said: "It doesn't matter, eating is also part of the job. There is nothing to do at home now, so it would be good for you to meet more people outside."
< br>Wen Rensheng was relieved. After the seven-day gathering, he had indeed gotten to know the experts and did not eat and drink for free.
It's a pity that everyone is hiding it and refusing to be honest with each other, so he has no chance to explore the other party and increase the upper limit of mystery.
In fact, it is very difficult to do this kind of thing. Everyone is drunk and awake, and any abnormal movement will be noticed by the other party. Unless you want to break up, it is impossible to use alien power on others.
Fortunately, on Tuesday, Yuan Shouyi finally asked everyone to notify everyone to start gathering and prepare to set off.
Wen Rensheng only found out after asking Mrs. Su that during the past week, the experts were eating, drinking, and gathering casually, but the Su and Yuan families were not idle.
Just the processing of exit visas for more than 30 experts is a huge workload.
Mysterious experts are not allowed to go out at will, and must be strictly recorded, and the application process is also very complicated.
There are also inquiring about information, exploring routes, and making various preparations.
No wonder the two families have to work together to prepare. If there are not enough people, they can only rush into battle.
The Yuan family chartered two planes and flew to Tuotuodu, the capital of Nishimaru Kingdom.
This is a transliterated name, which means "vast and beautiful prairie city" in the local language.
In about three hours, we flew to the place.
After all, Dingxi City is close to the border, so it is not too far.
This is a city built on the prairie, with tents everywhere and patches of cattle and sheep.
Only in the central area are there modern buildings, but most of them are crude, low, and chaotic, making it difficult to imagine that this is the capital of a country.
It really does not live up to its name.
Wen Rensheng shook his head when he saw this and said: "Although this Nishimaru country is located inland, it is too backward. Looking at the state of this capital, it is not as good as many cities in China a hundred years ago."
"Hmph, these The Western barbarians are to blame because they are too far away from heaven and too close to us." Fan Xing, who was sitting on his right hand, said meaningfully.
The other person was the expert surnamed Fan who sat next to Yan Ze at the banquet on the first day.
After this week's gathering, he deliberately interacted with Wen Rensheng, and the two became familiar with each other.
Beside Wen Rensheng’s left hand, another expert was full of approval when he heard this, and he echoed:
"Yes, this Nishimaru country is quite large, with a population of nearly 100 million. If they all live the same life as us, it will definitely cause an ecological disaster. By then, the northwest will be filled with yellow sand, and there will be storms every year."
Wen Rensheng had nothing to say and could only nod silently.
I am always incompatible with them because I am not shameless enough...
