Not knowing the true face of the House of Yen, only being in this house.︾The Yan Mansion is a luxurious mansion with three or four houses.
Yan House luxury, the House even three, four Square, a large garden in front of the House, the garden is divided into East, Central and West, the garden also has a man-made dug dozens of acres of artificial lakes, planted next to the exotic flowers and trees, the spring has been blossoming.
Killer black horse has long been marquis underlings into the stable, gave Zhu Pingan a bamboo plate, engraved with a living horse, there is also a name, when you leave with this card to lead the horse. Along with the other subordinate, Zhu Pingan went through the long west road of the mansion to the courtyard where the Yan Mansion feasted, and on the way to and from the neatly dressed and gorgeous maidservants carrying fruits and vegetables, wines and dishes, passed by in a neat parade.
The servant who was leading the way in front of him, looked at the backs of the ladies-in-waiting who were passing by, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Not far away came a clamour and the sound of silk and bamboo, distantly visible dancers stunning shadow, the banquet place is about to arrive.
Zhu Pingan held great interest, straightened his sleeves, and slowly stepped into the banquet place.
Banquet tripod burning spices, light fragrance floating, placed in order potted plants and flowers will be banquets to enhance a lot of compulsion, red skirt dancers waving colourful sleeves, bare feet dancing, there are singers and musicians on the side of the music.
The most let Zhu Pingan side eye is the banquet water goblet, the banquet is in the middle of the white jade rockery, rockery around is stacked like mountains, mountains in the middle of the white jade carving pipe, the mountains on the stone placed on the gold inlaid jade of the large wine jar, agar ** rippling in the wine jar, wine like a stream like the white jade pipe flows slowly, guests sit around the stacked mountains, agar ** wine can flow into the wine cup.
If the wine cups are not used to catch the wine, the wine will flow into the slot and disappear. It should be recyclable.
Bear’s paws and camel’s hooves, scales and chopped silk. Running in the mountains, swimming in the water. Grassland waves, flying in the sky and growing on the ground, all of them were made into delicious dishes and placed on the banquet table like flowing water.
At this time the banquet has begun, the atmosphere is very lively, the people are all around a short fat thick fat man competing for the first pander, this big fat man about thirty-seven or eighty-eight years old, long is not high, the neck is also a little short. The most characteristic is blind one eye, but the other eye is full of cunning wit, as if a glance can insight your heart.
This one-eyed fat man was very energetic, so energetic that he gave off a feeling of arrogance and flightiness.
Short, thick and fat, one-eyed, arrogant and domineering, all these factors superimposed together, Zhu Pingan was able to conclude that this man was the only son of Courtier Yan. Yan Shifan, who is now ranked as the right minister of the Ministry of Industry.
It should be said that God is fair, don’t look at God will Yan Shifan made earth fat round also blind one eye, but give this person a super good IQ, not only that. This person is also good at psychology, in the history of the record “he is cunning and witty, learned and remembered. Familiar with the rules and regulations, understand the economic and current affairs. And energetic, can be a heavy drama. Especially good at guessing the emperor’s likes and dislikes.”
Zhu Pingan was led through the door by a servant of the Yan Mansion. Then he informed inside, and then the people saw Zhu Pingan standing at the door.
How did such a teenager come, never seen before, the people who habitually hang out in the Yan Mansion were full of curiosity about Zhu Pingan standing at the door.
“Who is the visitor?”One sitting not far below Yan Shi Fan, put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyebrows at Zhu Ping An and asked in a sinister voice.
This person is Luo Longwen, the word Huanzhang, this person is originally an ink merchant, to ink home, when young, mastered the ink making skills, good use of tung oil smoke to create a top quality ink, known as: firm as stone, texture such as a rhinoceros, black as lacquer, a snail is worth ten thousand dollars. After the development of the family, put into the Yan Shifan door, is the Yan Shifan’s curtain, in Yan Shifan’s promotion, is now serving as a Chinese scholar.
It can be said that this person is one of Yan Shifan’s powerful lapdogs.
“Under River Zhu Pingan, I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation from Lord Yan and have come to pay my respects.”
Zhu Pingan was unassuming and bowed his hand towards the crowd, not at all intimidated by Luo Wenlong’s questioning tone, and leisurely spoke back aloud.
“Zhu Pingan? Oh ……Who is Zhu Pingan?”Luo Long Wen couldn’t help but laugh twice at his words, looking out of the corner of his eye with some disdain towards Zhu Pingan.
Upon hearing this, there were also many people around who followed suit and laughed, and their gazes towards Zhu Pingan were also mostly contemptuous.
In fact, when Zhu Pingan said his name, how many people would not know who Zhu Pingan was, after all, the examination is also a major event in the dynasty and the field, and many of them are accustomed to hanging out in Yan’s house, for example, Luo Longwen, it’s not like they are unaware of the fact that the young son of Ouyang in the Yan’s house missed out on the meeting of the yuan. It was, however, just a matter of standing in line.
In addition to these laughing people, there were some other scrutinising and curious gazes at the banquet.
Amidst the laughter and scrutiny of the crowd, Zhu Pingan was calm and collected, unassuming, blandly accepting the gazes of the crowd.
Just then, the object of the crowd’s fawning, the earthy fat Yan Shifan was the one who got up with a smile, his refined one-eye landed on Zhu Pingan, stretching out one finger towards Zhu Pingan, shaking his fat face to introduce to the crowd:
“Hanzhang, all of you, this person is not ordinary, today you do not know, in the future will be famous all over the world, deeply engraved in the minds of all of you. This enke will test will be this Zhu Pingan, Zhu ZiHou, Anqing province under the river village famous prodigy, 13 years old will pass the township examination, won the lifts, but also the dynasty Yang TingHe Yang pavilion 12 years old in the lift a little head; However, Yang pavilion in the lift the next year after the examination in the capital, how to, the name of the mountain, until six years later, the age of 19 years old re-entered the examination hall only through the test.”
Speaking of this, Yan Shifan swept his glittering one-eye towards the crowd, smiled with a slight dark meaning, and asked, “Do you all know the geometry of this person this year?”
When the crowd heard this, they looked towards Zhu Pingan and shook their heads, cooperating by saying straight out that they did not know.
“This person is only 14 this year, and at the age of 14, he is already a Huiyuan! Yang Gelao is also not as good.”Yan Shifan waved his hand, pointing at Zhu Pingan and said.
Hearing Yan Shi Fan’s words, the banquet surprised, many of them did not think that Zhu Pingan is so young. 14 years old Hui Yuan, but than Yang Ge Lao is much more powerful, after all, Yang Ge Lao nineteen years old only passed the examination, this person even at the age of 14 years old has already passed the examination, or Hui Yuan!
“14 years old Huiyuan, no wonder, no wonder ……”
After the crowd was surprised, there was a yin voice that rang out at the banquet, it was Luo Longwen who spoke at the beginning.
“How is it strange?”Someone asked.
“No wonder you don’t put Brother Donglou in your eyes, no wonder you dare to not put Yanfu in your eyes, Brother Donglou thinks so highly of you, sends you invitations, invites you to the banquet, Huiyuan Gong, 14 year old Huiyuan is remarkable ah, the banquet has already been open for a few long time, the wine has passed the three rounds, and you came late, I dare to ask if Huiyuan Gong can know the etiquette? If you don’t have faith, I don’t know what you can do. How dare you be so unpunctual? Aren’t you afraid of making a mockery of the generous family? Or is it that you didn’t put all of us in your eyes in the first place?”
The corner of Luo Longwen’s mouth pulled out a faint smile as he looked at Zhu Pingan surreptitiously and questioned loudly.
Luo Longwen’s language is quite provocative and skilful, once the words fall, most of the people look at Zhu Pingan’s gaze with a reproachful gaze, not punctual is not a good habit, not punctual is not trustworthy, a person who does not speak his word, and can be good to where it is.
