Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 129 Gifts
Yu Tiao and his group of overseas Chinese from Jinling were extremely enthusiastic about Shen Zhezi. Although they missed it in Jinling, they all agreed to make up a reception banquet for Shen Zhezi here.

So these servants connected the passenger boats with iron chains, covered them with thick wooden boards, and quickly built a stable floating platform with a radius of more than ten feet.Seeing this proficiency, Shen Zhezi guessed that these overseas Chinese children probably had such gatherings and feasts in the past.

When the seat curtains were set up on the floating platform, Yu Tiao led Shen Zhezi up to the floating platform, and everyone pushed Shen Zhezi to sit on the chair.As soon as he was seated, Yu Tiao pointed at Shen Zhezi and said with a smile: "When I first met, I knew that Mr. Xiao Lang was extraordinary, and his innate elegance and talent were hard to conceal. Sure enough, Mr. Lang's reputation gradually rose in the future, and he was valued by the world. Now I have to match Emperor Zong. My niece is also raised by Lingxiu, and it is a match made in heaven with Mr. Lang!"

Before Shen Zhezi opened his mouth, the hall was full of clapping and applauding, when someone raised his glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu has the insight to know people, and seeing Shen Lang's elegant demeanor beforehand is also a beautiful story that complements each other." .”

Shen Zhezi waved his hand and said, "Your kindness is so great, it's just a choice, how dare you take this great reputation."

After hearing this, Yu Tiao laughed, and pointed to the seat: "I am a strong man for you, not just empty words. Shu Ming, why don't you offer me the first gift for you?"

The person Yu Tiao was referring to was a young man in his twenties. After hearing the words, he got up and smiled at Shen Zhezi: "It was an agreement at home, so it's hard to call it a gift. My Sanlang had a wedding proposal a few years ago. , it is unlucky to be side by side with Shen Lang as a candidate."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, his eyebrows twitched. He remembered that this young man was a descendant of Gaoping Xi's family, so he should be Xi Jian's son.This time the Xi family of Gaoping was able to choose the emperor's son-in-law as Xi Jian's eldest son, Xi Yin, who was two years older than himself. Unexpectedly, there was already a marriage proposal.

According to his calculations, Gaoping Xishi should be a very strong competitor this time.Before reaching Jiankang, it is a good thing to go to a strong enemy.However, Shen Zhezi didn't care too much about this. He entered Beijing this time, and he was determined to win the little princess Xingnan. No matter how many competitors there were, he would do his best.

But this incident made Shen Zhezi faintly see a trace of Gaoping Xi's attitude in the situation at this time, that is, to keep his own place and never fight for courage.Although there are many high-school children who got married very early, if it is said that the Xi family made a marriage contract just at this time, it is a bit of a coincidence, and it is mostly an excuse.

The current status of the Xi family is not weaker than the Shen family. Shen Zhezi's father, Shen Chong, is just a humble Fang Bo, but Xi Jian is already the most official official and official minister, and there are also militiamen who are so powerful. backing.Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Xi Jian did not want his son to marry the princess so as not to go too far, but the hidden intention was that he no longer wanted to be in the center and wanted to return to the Fangzhen.

This should be a game between the bigwigs in Taiwan and the province to give in to each other. Xi Jian is unwilling to be too disobedient to Yu Liang at this point, which is also in line with his usual temperament.If this duke is someone who wields power, it will be difficult for the Jiangdong Dynasty to be stable.

The bosses also have the difficulties of the bosses. On this issue, the Xi family is not as calm as the Shen family.After all, Shen Chong's biggest reliance in taking charge of Kuaiji is not the support of the big bosses in Taiwan, but his own strength and strategy.Although Xi's family has a lot of friendship with the refugee commander, the refugee commander himself is full of mountains, and there are endless internal struggles. When it comes to the direct power under his own control, it is not as good as Shen's local capital.

Of course, there is a more important point, that is, with Xi Jian's current status, he is already a giant, and he won't lose too much if he doesn't marry the princess.As for the Shen family, it was not the case. If there was no such opportunity, it would be a long way off to jump on the stage.

After weighing these issues in his mind, Shen Zhezi was touched. Familiarity with the historical trend does not mean that he can know the specific thoughts of the people in the current situation.Xi Jian's statement this time was beyond his expectation, it was just an insignificant matter.But if you wait until life and death are at stake, if you make a mistake in judging the attitudes of all parties, it will be fatal.

After pondering for a while, he felt that it was still necessary for him to come to Jiankang often. Even if he didn't live here for a long time, he still had to come and go frequently with people in the current situation, so as to ensure that if the current situation changed, he could do it as soon as possible. A sensitive response.With such a need, the status of a son-in-law is even more important to him. Only in this way can he be valued and invited as a guest of honor, otherwise he will not be able to get in front of a big man.

The last time he came to Jiankang, he suffered from low status. When he entered Yu Liang's house, he was only treated indifferently. It was even more tortuous to ask to see his teacher Ji Zhan.If he had the status of a son-in-law, these things that made him helpless at that time were nothing at all.

Yu Tiao took a look at Shen Zhezi at the table, and after seeing him pondering for a while, his expression returned to calm, and he was not overjoyed because he went to a strong enemy.So he took a higher look at Shen Zhezi's composure, smiled and flicked his tail, and said, "Xi Erlang is right, this matter is really hard to be respected. In addition to being powerful, I also want to be a man of wealth. "

"The theory of capital that Mr. Lang said in the past is the germination of those who benefit from being a hermit. Although I know that Mr. Lang's family is rich, I am grateful for the fact that the huge amount of money is not enough."

Yu Tiao's expression was extremely heroic, and he waved his hand at this point, and several servants walked in carrying wooden cases, the most conspicuous of which was a pile of neatly stacked gold ingots, it seemed that there were at least two or three Hundred catties!Looking at its fineness, even if it does not reach the level of gold, it is almost the same!
Sure enough, wealth is to people like muscles and bones.Yu Tiao in front of him looked forward to the brilliance, he was extremely heroic, and he made such a big move, how can he still have the resigned and unhappy spirit when they first met.

Although Shen Zhezi had no obligation to accept Yu Tiao's goods, but in front of so many people, he always had to decline.

But Yu Tiao became ashamed and annoyed by Shen Zhezi's stubborn words: "In the past, the gentleman didn't see me as a poor man, but now I am excited, and I am willing to share my possessions with the gentleman. If the gentleman refuses like this, Are you going to abandon me?"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, his teeth ached for a while, and he hurriedly expressed his acceptance, and Yu Tiao's face turned pale, and he continued: "Besides, when I wait for my friends to enter the capital this time, I will open my eyes for your lord. Let the people of the time know more about the magnanimity of the gentleman!"

Everyone in the banquet responded with a bang, and their attitudes were extremely enthusiastic.This surprised Shen Zhezi even more. After all, why are these people more eager than himself to marry a wife?

However, Shen Zhezi had no doubts about the energy of these people.Except for Yu Tiao and Na Xijian Congzi, all of these present are descendants of overseas Chinese families. Among them, the Yuan family of Chenjun, the Liu family of Peiguo, the Liu family of Nanyang, the Zhong family of Yingchuan, etc. are more prominent.It can be seen that this group of people is also specially selected by Yu Tiao, and there is no military person like Xu Mao.

Although Shen Zhezi didn't know the genealogy of the Bai family, he had heard about these old reputations from Yu Tiao.Thinking that I have brainwashed so many children from aristocratic families, I don't know what their respective ancestors who were famous for a while would think.

But it can also be seen from this that there is a sense of confusion and despair among these overseas Chinese families.In this foreign land, the substantive help that the glory of the past family can provide them is not very great. Many families could not survive this kind of catastrophe unprecedented in China, failed to strive for the top in Jiangdong, and finally disappeared, living in the cold. middle.

The operation of the hermit's pension allows them to obtain immediate benefits and have illusions about the future, which is a great temptation for this group of children from aristocratic families who don't know what the family business entrusts them with.

A banquet lasted until almost midnight, in addition to the noise of drinking wine, there were also Legislative actors brought by each family to add to the fun, it was extremely lively.

This group of people was full of energy, but Shen Zhezi didn't have the energy to spend the night with them. When it was time for work, rest and sleep, he got up to say goodbye and left the meeting halfway.

Not long after returning to his boat, Shen Zhezi had just changed into a set of alcohol-stained clothes when he was told that Yu Tiao had come to his boat.Shen Zhezi had already seen that these people would not be courteous for nothing, anyway, he had already planned to take back the operation of Yinjue's salary, so he washed his face to dissipate a little sleepiness, so he asked Yu Tiao to come over.

Yu Tiao bent down and walked into the cabin. There was a young man behind him. He was dressed a little exaggeratedly. His clothes were embroidered, and his lower body seemed to be wearing a women's dress. Stick a piece of cut flowers on each.

Although Shen Zhezi couldn't understand such an exaggerated and feminine dress, he knew that there are people who like this kind of dress nowadays.Although I am a little uncomfortable, it is not good to drive people out. There are so many women in the world, it is not good to despise them all because of their different temperaments, just keep them at a respectful distance.

After Yu Tiao entered the room, he smiled apologetically at Shen Zhezi, and then introduced the person behind him to Shen Zhezi: "This is my close friend, Nanfeng Nanerlang. There were too many people before, so I didn't have time to introduce him to Mr. Lang. "

While talking, Yu Tiao pulled Nan Feng to sit next to him, and caressed his hand in the palm of his hand, while Nan Erlang smiled timidly in return, and unexpectedly had a charming posture.

Shen Zhezi shuddered suddenly, and then said calmly: "Mr. Yu, wait for a while, I will go back when I go."

After all, without waiting for Yu Tiao's response, Shen Zhezi hurried out of the cabin, summoned two Longxi soldiers to follow behind him, and then walked back into the cabin.

He didn't expect that Yu Tiao, a bastard, would even develop this hobby once he got so rich.The son of a daughter can't sit still, thinking that he is also a handsome young man, from now on there will be no guards around him, and he will never come into contact with this bastard again!
"If you have anything to ask Mr. Yu, you might as well speak up."

Shen Zhezi kicked his seat back with a blank expression before sitting down again.

Nan Erlang seemed to notice that Shen Zhezi's attitude was alienated and indifferent, he glanced at Yu Tiao with a little resentment, whispered in his ear, and frequently looked at Shen Zhezi with resentful eyes.

"Get out!"

Shen Zhezi couldn't bear it anymore, he raised the cup with his palm and threw it on Nan Erlang's chest, the tea in the cup splashed all over his body.

Nan Erlang screamed, acting like a woman in fear.Yu Tiao hurriedly pushed the man out of the cabin, and then turned back and apologized to Shen Zhezi: "Meng Lang, after drinking, has a bad plan, sir, please don't mind."

Shen Zhezi ordered the cabin to be cleaned before inviting Yu Tiao to take a seat again, and said, "Everyone has their own interests, Mr. Yu, when you see me in the future, please don't bring such a hypocritical person by your side."

Yu Tiao nodded awkwardly, although he was a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to turn against Shen Zhezi because of such a trivial matter, he only blamed himself for being too dissolute recently.After all, he has a lot of admiration and fear for Shen Zhezi in his heart, and he still needs Shen Zhezi's help to solve the predicament he is facing now.

　Finally arrived before twelve o'clock. . .Gays claim it. . .
