Chapter 86, the opening of the birthday banquet
(It’s Monday, please ask for something!~)
The house of Luoyang City Gate Captain Liu Bei and Liu Xuande seemed particularly quiet today. The servants were all silent and did not speak. They did not know what to say and did not dare to speak casually at this time.
As the head of the family, Liu Bei's face has always been calm, as if it were the same as before. Except for the slight frown on his brow, which has almost never relaxed, there is still a faint excitement mixed in the frown that seems to be worried.
I'm afraid only Liu Bei himself knows the reason why.
Yes, he was eager to try out everything that was about to happen. It could be said that outside of Hulao Pass, he had never faced such a big and high stage.
For him, in addition to pondering the meaning of Situ Wang Yun's invitation, of course it was also necessary to face up to the benefits it could bring to him. Liu Bei knew very well that the so-called misfortune lies in the blessing, and the blessing lies in the misfortune.
Opportunities may often be accompanied by dangers, and it just depends on whether the person involved can grasp them. He is very confident about this.
Wang Yun's birthday banquet can be said to be a rare event in Luoyang these days, and it is quite a pleasure. Although Wang Yun didn't say much when talking to Liu Bei, Liu Bei could still guess that this unusual banquet was going to be an unusual one, and it might also be possible.
This is a moment for confrontation between all forces in Luoyang
, no one can guarantee the final outcome, but Liu Bei can definitely use this platform to gain huge benefits from it. He has even thought about what to say and do when the time comes. Although adaptability is important, opportunities are also important.
Favor those who are prepared.
Wang Yun invited Liu Bei this time, and of course he would not forget Liu Bei's two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were not present at the time, so Liu Bei went with them to the banquet this time.
After arriving in Luoyang, it was rare for the three brothers to leave the mansion together. However, when Liu Bei and the others left the mansion, the sky was still bright. But when they arrived at Situ's mansion, the curtain of night had fallen, and black slowly turned the originally clear blue sky.
Include until everything is covered.
Liu Bei and his three brothers naturally had one person and one horse. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei helped carry the gifts, while Liu Bei led the way. He was no stranger to the route of Situ Mansion. In these days in Luoyang, nothing else was certain, but for Luoyang
The roads and characters here are finally clear. How could Situ Wang Yun let them go?
When they arrived at the gate of Prince Situ's Mansion, the three of them dismounted their horses. Before they could walk a few steps, they were stopped by a boy. Liu Bei handed him the name card. The boy immediately became polite and asked the three horses to be handed over to him.
Take it down, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are holding the gifts and almost being regarded as...
Liu Bei's servants asked them to follow them to the other side. After Liu Bei asked them clearly, he said with a smile that those two were his brothers and were also included in the invitation. It was just that the three brothers shared a name card and there was no special marking.
, that’s what caused this little farce.
Immediately, people were asked to take the gifts down, and the three of them entered the house under the guidance of the servant.
You may not notice it from the outside, but as soon as you enter, you will be greeted by an elegant atmosphere. The scale of Situ Mansion is not small, and some exquisitely carved rockeries and pools add a bit of tranquility to the natural atmosphere.
People feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze, and the overall environment seems broad and profound, making it difficult for those who are in it not to be disturbed, and their hearts seem to be much broadened in an instant.
Liu Bei had enough reasons to have more expectations for this trip. He was already amazed by the opening of the door. What would be behind the door?
Once inside the courtyard, the boy no longer needed to guide the way. The three of them walked straight down and saw that the crowd was gradually increasing. A water belt like an artificial stream wound around the pavilion in the center. The pavilion was stacked on top of each other.
The aroma of wine wafted from a distance from the wine cup, making people greedy before they even saw it. It seemed as if the birthday banquet had already begun.
Zhang Fei is an alcoholic, but when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his first thought was not to join in.
I saw that there were several tables in each place next to the water belt. On the tables, there were only wine glasses but no wine. Of course, there were side dishes to go with the wine, which are necessary. There were also people sitting next to them. They would often
Putting the wine glass into the water belt, he just scooped it up casually, put some water into his mouth, and...
He sighed in admiration, as if it was so delicious, but he ignored the dishes. This scene made people want to laugh, but Liu Bei thought of a possibility. He squatted down and stretched out two fingers to dip slightly in the water belt.
Dip it in, put it in the center of your mouth, and it suddenly said, and sure enough, it was like this.
As he expected, this so-called water belt is actually a "wine belt" because it is filled with wine. No wonder the smell in the air is so mellow and attractive. He thought it was "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of distance",
Who would have thought that the wine was right next to me, no wonder.
At this time, Liu Bei went to look at the pavilion in the middle, and found that the design of this pavilion was also quite interesting. The "wine belt" went around the pavilion, forming a ring, but the final injection was still in the pavilion, and on the other side of the pavilion
I don’t know what kind of design it is, so
The wine circulates around and around again as if it is endless, but the source is also in those cups of wine, but the wine cups are very large, but this seems to have a different scenery, but in fact it is the same as the final effect of sharing a cup of wine on each table
But it’s almost the same.
At this time, the literati who gathered around this water belt also let go of their usual restraint and etiquette, and started to be a little wild. Colorful ribbons and sleeves were flying, and white scarves and crowns were falling. It was rare to be so unrestrained, but the literati also had a certain spirit in their hearts.
Wang Yun was able to guide those crazy factors this time.
The whole scene looks like a flowing wine cup. Liu Bei knew that this was the elegance of the literati, and it was indeed very interesting. Didn't you see that even Zhang Fei, who danced with swords and guns all day long, saw this look?
There was also a feeling of being edified, but of course it disappeared in an instant.
Zhang Fei was not very interested in this kind of literati style. Even if it was Liu Bei who was there, he would have the same attitude - but Liu Bei was not a refined person, but at this time
Neither Liu Bei nor Guan Yu said anything. Facing a group of strangers in such a strange place, he would not speak casually, but his emotions were clearly expressed on his face.
Of course, this is because no one came to provoke him. If Liu Bei got angry like that, it would not be easy to control him. It would be okay if people around him saw Liu Bei, but next to him were two sturdy men, one eight feet long and one nine feet long.
They still dare to act as they please, and they also know that anyone who can enter this courtyard is considered to have been invited by the Situ Mansion. This Liu Bei may be someone, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are regarded as his personal guards, but they are not
Several people were impressed.
But Liu Bei's days in Luoyang were indeed not in vain. At least he met a few acquaintances here. It's hard to say how deep the friendship was. But when Liu Bei was invited by the Situ Mansion, he naturally looked at him differently. Soon Liu Bei
blended in,
The three of them shared a table, and everyone around them and Liu Bei could talk to each other more or less. It was only then that Zhang Fei discovered the secret of the wine belt. It was a great effort, and Guan Yu also seemed quite interested. Generally speaking,
The three brothers seemed to have a good start in Situ Mansion.
But at this moment, a man came out from outside the courtyard, or to be precise, from the inner courtyard. He looked around and then fixed his eyes on Liu Bei's table. They were too conspicuous and easy to recognize. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
The two of them are always the two tallest in the middle, and when this person saw them sitting here and enjoying themselves peacefully, he shouted anxiously: "Oh Captain Liu, why are you still here? How come you are called
I'm easy to find, and Situ is also looking for you..."
