Chapter 63: The strange guest

Regardless of what Liang Ying's father is going to do in Ju State, if he has another choice at present, he definitely does not want to leave "Xintian", the political center of Jin State.

Therefore, either the monarch gave Liang Ying's father the task, or Zhao Yang forced Liang Ying's father to go to Ju. The latter is more likely because Zhao Yang did not want to see Liang Ying's father stay in the country and continue to cause trouble.

Do you think Zhao Yang was arrogant and domineering? He killed Zhao Wu at home.

Then, Liang Yingfu repeatedly stirred things up, and even teamed up with Zhizong to force Zhao Yang's confidant Dong Anyu to death. However, Zhao Yang did not do anything to Liang Yingfu for more than a year.

It can be seen that Zhao Bolu is repulsive and wary of Liang Ying's father. Even the dullest person can see it. Why is this?

Just take a look at who Liang Ying's father is talking to all the time and you will know. Whenever he has the opportunity or not, he always chats with Zhao Wuxie and looks very intimate.

Zhao Wuxie did not have a seat on this occasion.

Even if Zhiyao knew that Zhao Wuxie would become the head of the Zhao family in the future, she still could not deliberately arrange a seat.

The reason is that a commoner is a commoner. With Zhao Bolu, the eldest son of the Zhao family, present, even if Zhiyao wants to cause trouble, it cannot be so obvious.

So, Zhao Wushe stood behind Zhao Bolu. He absolutely hated Liang Ying's father for repeatedly talking to him, but he insisted on answering as if he was accompanying his junior.

Zhiyao looked at the three Zhaos and could not hold back her laughter.

That scene was really interesting, especially since the three of them had such a complicated relationship background and were quite different in age.

"I heard that Gongsun won a great victory against the princes. I was really surprised!" Yu Rang said loudly.

This is a person who is tired of watching the three Zhaos perform and really can't bear to show his presence.

Just now, Zhiyao didn't know Yurang, and she only found out about him after Taihu introduced him.

Taihu is a retainer of the Zhi family or a personal retainer of Zhi Yao. He must have a good memory and find opportunities to recognize the masters of each family, so as to avoid Zhi Yao not knowing who is who when he needs to socialize.

Recently, Zhiyao has been thinking about whether to recruit Jaeyu as a retainer in the Zhi family. If not for any other reason, it is simply because Jaeyu is really good at talking, and also because Jaeyu has other talents.

"Gongsun?" Zilu saw so many people when he came, and he didn't know whether to talk or not.

Didn't Zhiyao reward Zilu with a "city" last time? Later, Confucius and a group of his disciples found out about it. Zhiyao didn't bother to find out what happened. In short, Zilu accepted the reward from Zhishi.

Therefore, Zilu is now considered a noble of the Jin Kingdom and a vassal of the Zhi family.

A vassal of the Zhi family like Zilu is a little different from other nobles. Other nobles may have inherited their ancestral heritage. They only attached themselves to the Zhi family for safety and a way to advance, so that they could leave again without being criticized by other families. Zilu came to Jin with nothing.

, the reward he received from the Zhi family far exceeded his merits. In terms of logic or common sense, no one would be able to get rid of the influence of the Zhi family within three generations, and other families would not agree if he wanted to do it.

Nobles do not agree that a new noble can easily change his family. The reason is that no one wants the person they have helped to establish his own family after having enough to eat and drink.

At that time, Zhiyao was communicating with Yu Rang, talking about the past events of leading the army to fight with the princes; Zhao Bolu, Zhao Wuxie and Liang Yingfu continued to sing the Zhao family's drama, and it could be seen that Zhao Wuxie could no longer hold on any longer

.

There was nothing we could do! Zhao Wushe was just a concubine, and his status was not comparable to Zhao Bolu, the eldest son of the Zhao family. He also could not offend Liang Yingfu, his uncle from Xiaozong.

Zhiyao uses "thoughts" to communicate with Zilu, which is actually asking with her eyes: Is there something that needs to be dealt with immediately?

Zilu must have understood, and shook his head slightly: "We can postpone it for now."

In what aspects is human wisdom reflected? A simple look and facial expressions can help you understand what you want to express.

It's still early.

Nowadays, nobles entertain guests and set banquets with different specifications.

For example, when Zhiyao is entertaining guests now, he must have bone soup, bone sticks, and fruits.

Serving guests a bowl of hot soup was the way of hospitality in the Xia Dynasty. This custom was passed down from ancient times to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, the "Five Huanhua" disrupted this custom.

Since it is not a formal banquet, the wine will certainly not be served. The maids and footmen who should be there have already been there to serve.

What is nobility? It is the noble status gained because of blood.

How could a person of high status not have someone responsible for serving him?

Another point is that there are actually no slaves in the master's house at this stage. Not all of those "servants" are slaves, they may be clansmen, retainers, or subjects.

The clan members also became "servants" mainly because their blood relationship was too far away or they were not taken seriously. If Zhao Guanghe could not stand out in the future, or he would be working as a "soap", "xu" or "killer" in a certain fiefdom of the Zhao family, it would be a bit confusing.

Getting ahead may mean holding a small position in the country, but the most miserable position is of course being a "servant".

"If the princes start provocation again, will Gongsun go to war again?" Yu Rang asked this question with a serious face.

Is this something a middle-class noble should ask?

Zhiyao's face looked a little strange. He could not answer, or even order someone to capture Yurang.

When outsiders asked, were they trying to pry into Zhishi's secrets, or were they trying to stir up trouble? It would not be excessive at all to make some violent reactions. Others would only call Yurang a fool if they found out.

"Don't blame Gongsun." Yu Rang was definitely aware of going too far and explained: "If Gongsun goes on an expedition, Rang will definitely serve Gongsun."

oh oh!

That’s what happened.

At this time, Liang Ying's father intervened and said: "The Lord has decided to send troops to defend the territory and will go out in the coming year."

Damn Gobi! Yurang shouldn't go to Ju State anymore, go wherever you like, lest I feel uncomfortable when I see this guy.

Zhao Bolu was serious and said: "My father ordered Bolu to come because Yao and Yao have shown their full potential in the two battles, and I need to get close to Yao."

Oh oh!

It turns out that Zhao Yang wanted Zhao Bolu to learn well?

Regarding the fact that Zhao Bolu was a playboy, not only was almost everyone within the Zhao family aware of it, there were also many unsavory rumors about him outside.

Zhiyao first answered Zhao Bolu and said, "Both of our parents are 'Qing', so we should be close to each other."

In view of the current complicated situation in the Jin Kingdom, it would be best if the Zhi family and the Zhao family could change their relationship to be friendly. They should deal with the threats from the princes first and then continue fighting if they want to.

Zhiyao couldn't help but cast a glance at Zhao Wushe, thinking: "It's not surprising that Zhao Bolu is here, but what's strange is that a junior like Zhao Wuhe is here alone?"

This year, Zhao Wuji is nine years old. Even if he wants to fight for the throne of the Zhao family, is he too young in terms of age?

If Zhao Wuxie had nothing outstanding, it would be impossible for Zhao Yang to pay special attention to him, right?

Zhao Bolu said a few more useless words.

Zhiyao chatted for a while and found an opportunity to say to Yurang: "If Ruyao goes on an expedition, he will inform the doctor."

Yurang stood up and saluted carefully. He obviously belonged to that type of person who cares about the country.

"You all go and wash your hands first, while Rong Yao prepares delicious food for you." Zhiyao said.

Let's get out of here and hurry up, otherwise the way the three Zhaos get along with each other will make outsiders feel embarrassed.
