Big businessman and little fisherman

225 - Chapter [-]
After the banquet, the little eunuch brought mouthwash, cleared the table, and replaced it with tea and delicate pastries.

King Qin sat casually among the crowd, listening to everyone's conversation, looking unusually friendly.

As time passed, some children from aristocratic families who were not too close to the King of Qin got up to bid farewell to the King of Qin.

King Qin didn't force him to stay, and ordered the eunuch in charge around him to see him off.

Brother Zhou Yang waited for a small group of people to disperse before getting up to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, when King Qin saw Zhou Yang, he unexpectedly asked a few more words: "I heard that King Father's will came to the border a few years ago, why didn't General Zhou hurry back to the capital for the New Year?"

Zhou Yang lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "His Royal Highness, after receiving the holy will, I will start preparing to return to Beijing to salute. It is expected to leave at the beginning of winter, and with the itinerary on the road, I will definitely be able to come to Beijing a year ago to accompany uncle and Brothers celebrate the New Year. Who would have expected that this year’s winter snow would fall early at the border, and many houses would be crushed by the heavy snow. The minister led thousands of soldiers and was busy picking people out of the snow nest. At the beginning of winter, hundreds of felt tents were reluctantly set up outside the city to resettle all the people affected by the disaster. Layuechen led the troops to the pastoral area again. Because of the heavy snow, those herdsmen’s cattle and sheep were frozen, and they wanted to cross the border into our big business Grab food..."

"These herdsmen are too outrageous." Qin Wang put down the teacup in his hand heavily, "In my opinion, they have lived a very good life these years. The border is peaceful, and the country is peaceful."

"Yes. Your Highness is right." Zhou Yang lowered his head, looking cautious.

The king of Qin asked Zhou Yang some more about the customs of the border. During the conversation between the two, the king of Qin asked cleverly, while Zhou Yang answered smoothly.

When it comes to border crossings, none of you here can force Zhou Yang to be more clear.He talked concisely and eloquently, and answered everything he knew. The frontier in his words was like a scroll, slowly unfolding in front of everyone, and he was fascinated by the children of the aristocratic families who had not left the capital.

"Little General Zhou is a great talent." King Qin said, turning to Tang Jinming and Song Yunfei, "We are about the same age, but Little General Zhou grew up beside General Lin and spent several years at the border. I will be several times stronger."

Seeing that the king of Qin had such a high opinion of Zhou Yang, the faces of the people who hadn't left didn't show it, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Zhou Yang said a few words modestly, King Qin glanced at his slender and pale fingers, and changed the subject accordingly: "It's a pity that this king is ill and cannot travel far, otherwise I really want to walk around, so I also go to the border gate to see me. The beauty of the prosperity of the great merchants.”

"Your Highness is much stronger than when you were young." Tang Jinming and King Qin are the most familiar, and the tone of their speech is also much familiar, "I still remember when I was young, on spring days like this, Your Highness almost never went out of the house, and even The charcoal fire is lit. Today, His Highness is drinking tea with his ministers, and there is no discomfort in sitting up to now. I feel that His Highness is already well."

Unexpectedly, King Qin said without humility: "This king also thinks so, but the queen mother is not at ease."

Tang Jinming smiled and added: "In the future, Your Highness will go out and walk around more often. The empress will feel relieved when she knows about it."

"That's right." King Qin said to Tang Jinming with a smile, "Then do you remember that you have a banquet in your mansion, and you have to give me a post, otherwise I won't invite you."

Everyone chatted and laughed a few more times, and Zhou Yang offered to leave again.

This time King Qin didn't stop him, but got up and patted Zhou Yang's shoulder lightly: "It's been hard for you and General Lin these years. Now that you've returned to Beijing, you should take a good rest. I heard that after you came back, Are you still resting in the barracks outside the city? In fact, there is no need to be so cautious. There are countless generals in Beijing who serve in the barracks outside the city, and almost most of them rest at home in Beijing, leaving early and returning late."

After saying this, Zhou Yang was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly responded.

He was always a little uneasy, feeling that King Qin had something to say, but he didn't know whether to beat him or use him to beat others.

Or, the Holy Majesty was beating them through the mouth of King Qin.

Lu Yan listened to King Qin talking to the young masters, he was bored, but he couldn't go ahead, so he could only stand aside and think about his thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang didn't leave here, but King Qin looked over.

"Lu Yan?"

Lu Yangge didn't feel that King Qin was calling her, so he didn't realize it for a while, and stood aside in a daze.

"Lu Yan."

Song Yunfei hurriedly took a step back, and lightly poked Lu Yange's arm: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang called you?"

"Call me?" Lu Yange looked up at King Qin, "Your Highness is calling me?"

Tang Jinming hurriedly pushed her: "It's not polite yet."

Lu Yange panicked and prepared to salute, but he didn't know whether to clasp his fists or kowtow when seeing His Highness.She clasped her fists in both hands and looked around in a daze, wanting to ask someone.

"Excuse me." Qin Wang clenched his fist and coughed softly on his lips, "Did it scare you?"

Lu Yange hurriedly shook his head: "No, that's right, Caomin has never met His Highness, so he doesn't know how to salute."

King Qin said in a pleasant tone, "Then who brought you here?"

Tang Jinming hurriedly said, "It's a humble minister."

"That's your fault. You brought someone here, and you didn't teach her the proper etiquette. It's fine with this king. If it's the same when you enter the palace, the father and mother will not let you go easily." Qin Wang said and looked at her. Lu Yange asked, "Do you want to go to the palace to have a look, the palace is much more beautiful than my Qin Palace."

Everyone didn't know what King Qin meant, and they all looked at Lu Yange, thinking in their hearts, who is this? Even King Qin treated him kindly, and asked him if he wanted to enter the palace to have a look.

Only Song Yunfei showed joy, Tang Jinming looked bewildered, and Zhou Yang, who had already left with his elder brother, paused slightly, and then walked away without turning his head.

"Grassman..."

Before Lu Yange could say anything, the King of Qin interrupted rudely: "Just say whether you want it or not."

Lu Yangge looked at the King of Qin in front of him, and then at the people eating melons around him, and knelt down on the ground: "The grass people dare not, I hope His Highness will make amends."

"Get up, what does it look like?"

Seeing that Lu Yangge said he was unwilling, the King of Qin didn't seem to be angry, he stretched his arms, and offered Lu Yangge the dim sum on the side, "This is for you to try, it's the dim sum in the palace."

Lu Yange hurriedly took two steps on his knees, and raised his hands to take it: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing her timid and cowardly appearance, King Qin frowned and waved helplessly: "Forget it, sit aside and eat, I will have a conversation with your Brother Jinming and Brother Yunfei."

Lu Yange really took the snack, sat aside, took a piece of snack and ate slowly.

While Tang Jinming was talking to King Qin, he absent-mindedly looked at Lu Yange who was taking a bite of pastry and hot tea from the corner of his eye.

And Song Yunfei even raised his eyebrows and sat beside King Qin with a big horse, his words became much lighter.

Everyone who was still hesitating whether to leave now or leave later hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye.

In a blink of an eye, only King Qin, Tang Jinming, Song Yunfei, and Lu Yange were left in Nuo Da's front hall.
