Before Yuan Xi could react, Yuan Shang stepped forward and pulled him to his seat with great enthusiasm.
Wu Zhao wanted to follow, but was stopped by the maids on both sides. Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Second brother, I'm hosting the banquet, why do I need to work with my maids?"
"If you ask her to wait on you and spread the word, I will have a reputation for poor hospitality."
Yuan Xi vaguely felt that something was wrong. He hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Since the third brother said so, then it is better to obey my orders than to be respectful."
He turned around slightly and winked at Wu Zhao. When Wu Zhao saw it, he withdrew.
She saw Yuan Xi taking his seat, closing the door, standing in the corridor and thinking about it, then turned around and walked back.
Wu Zhao was speechless. Yuan Xi's look clearly told him to find a way, but he didn't say anything. What should he do?
Yuan Xi took his seat and saw Mr. Hong accompanying Zhen Rong. He and Yuan Shang were sitting opposite each other. There were only four people in the whole room.
Yuan Shang clapped his hands, and a maid came up and served him fine wine and delicacies, including the rare sturgeon.
Yuan Xi picked it up with chopsticks and chewed it in his mouth. He felt that the taste was delicious and unique. It was obviously seasoned extremely complexly. He felt that it was indeed a Yecheng city with affluent life. Compared with the food in Beixin City where you can get by with just a little coarse salt.
, there is a huge difference.
When Hong and Zhen Rong saw Yuan Xi coming in, they hurriedly came up to greet him. Yuan Xi also stood up and returned the greeting. Both of them had something to worry about. After saying a few words, they felt a little embarrassed. Yuan Shang intervened in time and chatted with Yuan Xi.
I have to say that Yuan Shang is still very approachable, respectful and polite, and his words are impeccable. No wonder Yuan Shao likes him.
Yuan Shang clapped his hands again, and then singers and dancers came up and performed in turns. Two of them even sat next to Yuan Xi and took turns inviting him to drink.
Yuan Xi was already on guard at this time. He waved his hand and said: "Third brother, second brother, I can't drink. I get drunk as soon as I drink, but I don't have a good taste."
After hearing this, Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Since the second brother said so, the third brother will naturally not force me."
"But the second brother hasn't been back for three years, and he didn't even attend my wedding. Isn't it too much to ask my younger siblings to toast the second brother?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Hong hurriedly came up, lowered her head and knelt down, raised the wine glass, and presented it to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi had a headache and had no choice but to take the wine glass.
He raised his sleeves and smelled the aroma of wine. It didn't seem like there was anything wrong, but he still felt uneasy and thought about just pouring it into his sleeves.
As a result, the two maids next to him pulled his sleeves to persuade him to drink, making it impossible for him to hide it. Yuan Xi was heartbroken, can you really poison the wine and poison me to death?
He raised his head, drank the wine, and found that there seemed to be no abnormality in his body, so he felt relieved.
Yuan Shang pointed at Zhen Rong and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhen is a close friend, and both families will soon be in-laws. Isn't it too much for her to toast you first?"
After hearing this, Zhen Rong hurriedly came up to propose a toast. Seeing that she had done it first, Yuan Xi couldn't push her away, so she had to drink another glass.
When he raised his head, he suddenly found that Zhen Rong looked at him with a somewhat complicated look, and he suddenly came to his senses.
Zhen Rong is actually not suitable to appear on such an occasion!
Suddenly, he felt a fire rush up in his lower abdomen, blood rolled into his brain, and he suddenly became dizzy.
Fuck, I really got tricked!
Yuan Xi quickly turned his head away, used the cover of his sleeves to dig his fingers into his throat, pressed down hard, and spit out the two glasses of wine he had just drank with a loud sound.
He turned around and said apologetically: "Third brother, second brother, I really can't drink. I've made a fool of myself. Please let me go back and rest first."
He stood up unsteadily, but found that his vision began to blur, blood surged in his body, and his consciousness was somewhat unclear.
Yuan Shang had a look on his face. The second brother had taken all precautions, but the five-stone powder was not in the wine, but in the sturgeon!
After complex seasoning, the flavor of Wushisan has been completely masked, making it harder to detect than putting it directly in wine!
The second brother has been taking Wushi Powder for some time, and the function of the wine is to make the Wushi Powder disperse quickly in the body. Even if the wine is spit out, it will be too late!
He shouted to the two maids: "Hurry up and help my second brother back!"
After hearing this, the two maids quickly helped Yuan Xi, who was unsteady in walking, to go out.
Zhen Rong knelt there blankly, Yuan Shang coughed, and then Zhen Rong raised his head to meet Yuan Shang's gaze.
Her lips trembled and she suddenly hesitated. Yuan Shang saw her and said softly: "The future of the Zhen family and Zhen Yao's safety all depend on my wife."
Zhen Rong's body was shaken, he struggled to get up, and followed the two maids.
Yuan Shang sneered in his heart, Zhen Rong's glass of wine also contained a small amount of Five Stone Powder, and by the time she returned to the house, she would almost have an attack!
Hong stood up at a loss, walked to Yuan Shang's side, and said softly: "Husband, what is going on?"
Yuan Shang said coldly: "You didn't see anything!"
"If you dare to talk too much, I will divorce you!"
There was a crash, lightning struck, and thunder could be heard faintly.
Hong's body trembled and she lowered her head.
Yuan Shang's expression was grim. There was actually not much reason why he targeted Yuan Xi like this.
Just a little bit.
A little is enough.
He believed in prophecies very much.
In other words, there are only a few nobles in this world who do not believe in prophecies.
From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Guangwu, from Gongsun Zan to Liu Bei, from Yuan Shu to Tao Qian, they are all loyal supporters of the prophecy.
At that time, a sentence came from the mouth of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and had been circulated for hundreds of years, which was believed by the nobles all over the world.
Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be painted high.
The one who is painted is the road, and the one who is high is the best.
What will replace the Han Dynasty must be something tall and majestic in the avenue.
Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, believed this very much and claimed that he was that tall man.
Therefore, in the eyes of the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this sentence was a great prophecy with a history of three hundred years and would continue to be fulfilled.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and everyone wants to replace Han, so they desperately rely on this sentence.
Yuan Shu was on the road, and the road was smooth, so he believed that he was the man of destiny. This had a great influence on his future as emperor.
Li Jue's "Jue" was also pronounced "que" in ancient times, which is a homophone of "que". Que means "high building", which is very consistent. Therefore, some witches encouraged him to rebel, saying that great things will happen.
Que Xuan, who was incited to rebel by Tao Qian, seemed to have a name tailor-made for this purpose.
The prophecy is written in classical Chinese: "Those who came from the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao." Those who should be Tu and be high are Que. Therefore, Que Xuan claimed to be the Son of Heaven. - Gu Yanwu
Therefore, some people once suspected that Que Xuan was a name coined by Tao Qiansheng.
Based on the above, Yuan Shang was among many counselors and nobles and was deeply influenced by this theory.
Later, after he sorted through all the names of the Yuan family, he discovered a fact that shocked him extremely.
The name of the second brother Yuan Xi is extremely terrifying!
Xi is the brightness of the sun.
The sun is high, the great road between heaven and earth!
Yuan Xi's word "Xian Yi" means "player of Go". "Those who show the game of chess" can differentiate between superior and inferior players.
Playing chess is called discussing the Tao. Isn't it just to highlight the Tao?
In addition, Zhen Mi, whom Yuan Xi is about to marry, has been praised by fortune tellers since she was a child as having the appearance of being wealthy and powerful!
Yuan Shang completely broke his defense!
This is why he wants to bring down Yuan Xi at all costs.
This reason, if placed in front of any noble family, would probably conflict with Yuan Shang's choice.
Because prophecies are the truth in the eyes of people of this era, just like the laws of physics in the eyes of people in later generations.
If Yuan Xi knew the reason, he would definitely curse it as ridiculous, but at this time, his consciousness was completely blurred.
The two maids had already left, and Zhen Rong helped Yuan Xi into the house.
There was another thunderbolt, and Zhen Mi sat in front of the window of the small building, looking at the rain falling outside, and suddenly stood up.
