In fact, he didn't say anything else, let alone use lame tricks like provoking generals to show off in front of his eldest brother Zhai Zhanpeng.
Zhai Yangzhou is just stating the facts.
That is, Zhai Kang'an and he both owed Lu Fang a "favor" because of their duel. And after they left Kyoto, God knows whether Lu Fang would ask for this favor from the Wu'an Hou Mansion?
Who knows how Lu Fang will ask them to return this favor?
So instead of waiting for Lu Fang to ask for this favor, it is better to find a way to win this favor back.
Zhai Zhanpeng felt that what his useless brother said made sense.
He doesn't want to be taken over by others, and besides, he is still a guy who has only recently shown his prominence and was previously unknown but without a deep foundation.
No matter what, this "favor" must be offset, and in addition, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion must gain some face.
night.
Wu'anhou Mansion.
This huge Marquis Mansion, which is quite famous even in Kyoto, has not changed much because of the departure of brothers Zhai Yangzhou and Zhai Kang'an.
It has remained standing despite the ups and downs of the past hundred years. In addition, most of the dignitaries of this era did not care about marrying three wives and four concubines. Therefore, this prince's mansion has already derived many things when Grandpa Zhai Zhanpeng and his family were of that generation.
It's not a trivial matter. Nowadays, the family has a big business, and there are probably dozens of people of the same generation as Zhai Zhanpeng and others.
Although the brothers Zhai Yangzhou and Zhai Kang'an are still from the authentic lineage, as long as Zhai Zhanpeng is still alive, the title of Marquis of Wu'an cannot fall to them. And it is only a matter of time for them to leave the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. Either
They get married, or Zhai Zhanpeng takes over the title.
Anyway, this Wu'anhou Mansion can only belong to "Wu'anhou".
Those who are not qualified to inherit the title of Marquis of Wu'an cannot become the owner of this palace.
Since he is not the owner, he can only be a passer-by.
In a courtyard deep in the palace, many lanterns were lit. Outside the closed door, there was a butler-like person with two young men waiting outside.
Zhai Zhanpeng, the real young master of Wu'an Hou Mansion, invited two young princes to a banquet in the Hou Mansion today.
One is Fan Bo Lian, the eldest son of the Duke of Qishan, whose status is somewhat more noble and prominent than Fan Guanghe's.
Then there is Yin Yutang who was defeated by Lu Fang.
Although Yin Yutang is a few years younger than Zhai Zhanpeng and Fan Boyian, being able to inherit the title of Marquis Xuanping is enough for him to discuss friendship with them at the same table.
In the matter of the fight, they were the only three families who owed Lu Fang a "favor".
They rarely mess around with ordinary noble children who are not direct descendants or eldest children. Because they will most likely inherit the title of their fathers in the future, their faces have been tied to the family for a long time in their lives.
I'd rather ask for the word "stable".
Dayu does not need nobles like them less and less. Only by being stable can it last forever. This is the experience summed up by the lessons of blood and tears of those nobles who have declined in the past.
What Yu Yuanwei said about keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile was referring to people like Zhai Zhanpeng.
Yin Yutang still follows Zhai Kangan and others to do mischief simply because he is too young.
This is the same as when Zhai Zhanpeng broke Xue Liangce's cousin's leg.
And just because of Lu Fang's incident, after only a few days, Yin Yutang's expression seemed to be calmer and more reserved than before.
I don’t know if it was because of this incident that I was “tempered” or “beaten” by my family when I returned home.
These large families that have followed Zuo of Great Chongqing to this day definitely have one or more very practical methods in education that ordinary families do not have.
In the room, the three of them sat separately.
There were exquisite wines and dishes on the table in front of me, as well as a large stack of beef as the staple food.
The Chongqing Dynasty originally banned eating cows, but this ban obviously had no binding force on them.
There is a beautiful maid waiting behind you.
At this time, most of the beef and dishes in front of the three of them had been reduced. It was obvious that the banquet had been started for some time.
But Zhai Zhanpeng always only talked about some interesting things in the Xunwei Mansion with Fan Bolian, who also served in the Xunwei, and Yin Yutang, who would probably join the Xunwei after winning the title.
The Forbidden Army system in Dayu is complex. The ones that can partially control the Imperial Guards in each county include the Privy Council, the three yamen including the Palace Department, and the Ministry of War, which is in charge of specific affairs. The following series of Forbidden Army is even more complicated.
There are more than ten Imperial Guards guarding Kyoto alone. It is difficult to judge the combat effectiveness of these Imperial Guards, but the one with the most gossip is definitely the Xunwei Mansion.
Because those who can be transferred to the Honorary Guard's Mansion are those who are nobles of the current dynasty, and they must have titles in their families.
These people are low-key on the surface, but that may not be the case behind the scenes. Ordinary people will definitely have no way of knowing what ridiculous things they have done, but in their circle they still can't stop being angry. However, Zhai Zhanpeng said
And these interesting things are just innocuous jokes, just to create an atmosphere. It is quite shameful for the same nobles to gossip and hurt others behind their backs.
After all, Dayu's current circle of honors and honors is really not that big.
Take Fan Boyian and Yin Yutang in front of us as an example. They are actually relatives of the Marquis of Wu'an.
Zhai Zhanpeng's aunt is Fan Boyian's aunt. Another aunt of Zhai Zhanpeng is the legal wife of an uncle of Yin Yutang who is somewhat influential in the military.
Even if we really talk about it, there may be only a hundred nobles above count in Dayu, and any two families can have some relatives.
The marriage that lasted for nearly a hundred years was really terrifying.
Fan Boyian and Yin Yutang probably knew why Zhai Zhanpeng invited them to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, but no one took the initiative to mention it.
Until you are full of wine and food.
Zhai Zhanpeng saw Fan Boyian and Yin Yutang put down their bowls and chopsticks, and invited them to sit down in the main hall of his courtyard.
After asking the maid to serve the good tea, he followed the example of his fathers and gently opened the lid of the tea cup, smiling and saying: "Brother Bo Lian and Brother Yutang should have known in their hearts what I invited you here for."
?”
"hehe."
Fan Bolian, who looked somewhat similar to Fan Guanghe, raised his eyebrows slightly, chuckled softly, and said: "If Zhan Peng, you don't speak up, I'll think you don't want to say anything anymore! Is it because of that thing called Lu Fang?"
My brother left Beijing today, and before he left, he specifically told me that if the man named Lu Fang comes to ask for a favor, as long as it is not too much, I will agree to it."
Yin Yutang did not speak.

Happy New Year, brothers.
I hope you all have a good life. Be safe and happy.
