To put it bluntly, Li Shishi invited guests to the scene in his own name and held a banquet to celebrate Wang Lin's first place in the martial arts examination and the official reward.
Some of the guests invited by Master Li to the banquet were those who came to Beijing to take the martial arts examination, such as Ma Kuo and others.
There are also some who are the children of officials in the capital, such as Sun Zheng, the eldest son of Sun Fu, a minister of rites, and Wang Ping, the son of Wang Shen, the prince's consort.
Then there are the well-known scholars in Beijing, such as Huang Song, nephew of the great literary giant and calligrapher Huang Tingjian, and Ren Yuan, Huang Tingjian's student, and so on.
All of them are gentle, generous-minded people, full of talents and learning, about sixteen or seventeen people.
Master Li has of course been screened.
But Li Shishi didn't expect Pan Ming to come uninvited. When the maid came to report that Marquis Xingyang barged into the banquet, Li Shishi raised his eyebrows fiercely and felt secretly angry.
But she thought about it for a while, then waved her hand and said: "Please invite Marquis Xingyang to the banquet."
Pan Ming joined the banquet as an uninvited guest. Because of his special status, the seat was arranged close to Master Li, next to Wang Ping and opposite Wang Lin.
At the beginning of the banquet, the beautiful maids took turns serving wine, as light and graceful as bouquets of flowers and butterflies. They shuttled back and forth on the field, the quiet sound of the piano sounded, and Master Li's melodious singing came from behind the curtain.
"There is a beautiful woman here. I will never forget her when I see her."
Not seeing you for a day makes me miss you like crazy.
The phoenix is soaring, and the phoenix is begging for it from all over the world..."
After the song "Feng Qiu Huang" was played, Master Li walked out of the curtain with a gentle smile on her face. She had dressed up deliberately today, painted her eyebrows and eyes, and applied 70% to 80% of semi-heavy makeup, which made her look as delicate as a peony.
The temperament is as noble as an orchid.
The eyes of Sun Zheng and others were straight-eyed, but they were clear and genuine, with only admiration and no hint of amusement.
Only the eagerness in Pan Ming's eyes was not concealed at all. He said nothing from the beginning to the end. Except for the occasional indifferent glance at Wang Lin, he basically stared at Li Shishi, which made Li Shishi feel very sad.
uncomfortable.
Wang Lin didn't take it seriously.
He knew that the proud and arrogant Marquis of Xingyang was defeated by him yesterday, and he was very dissatisfied. Of course, he was displeased with him.
But it didn't matter, he didn't bother to worry about it, he was not afraid of offending Gao Qiu, not to mention a prince and grandson who seemed to have a prominent position, but in fact his family had declined.
He is still a figure now, but when the Jin people come, he will probably become a traitor.
Li Shishi raised his glass and said: "This year's martial arts examination has ended. Wang Lin from Shandong, Mr. Wang, stood out and received a reward from the officials. Teachers are not talented. Today, I am lucky enough to invite Marquis of Xingyang, who also entered the top three.
It’s the right time to meet Mr. Ma Kuo Ma. Let’s raise a toast together and celebrate that the imperial court has gained another good general and pillar!”
Li Shishi was very free and easy, and he was the first to raise his head and drink it all in one gulp.
Wang Ping, Huang Song, Ren Yuan, Ma Zheng and others also raised their glasses and drank with smiles.
After everyone finished drinking, they found Pan Mingyou holding a sapphire cup in his hand, sitting there indifferently, only staring at Master Li, very aggressively.
How rude.
Originally, Pan Ming was extremely handsome, well-born, and highly skilled in martial arts, and was highly appreciated by Tokyo residents. It should be said that he was originally a very popular person among those who took the exam in Beijing, but Wang Lin came from behind and gradually overshadowed him.
of limelight.
Now seeing Pan Ming being so unscrupulous, arrogant and rude, Ma Zheng and Ren Yuan looked at each other and felt unhappy.
Ahem.
Master Li couldn't hold back his surprise, chuckled and nodded: "Marquis Xingyang, please drink this cup to the full!"
Pan Ming sneered: "Miss Shishi, the martial arts department has just started, and we can't get through the first test. There are still palace tests to come, and we don't know who will win or lose. Why celebrate in a hurry at this time?"
Master Li forced a smile: "Marquis Xingyang, it's just a pretext to cheer you up."
Pan Ming put down the wine cup with a bang, looked at Wang Lin and said calmly: "Wang Lin, the defeat of the Marquis of Japan yesterday at your hands was also caused by accidental carelessness. Sooner or later, you and I will have to compete again in the palace examination to win.
Take advantage of others!"
As expected, this kid is still not convinced. Sooner or later he will be beaten.
Wang Lin chuckled: "What Marquis Xingyang said is that victory or defeat is a common thing. In fact, you don't need to take it to heart."
As soon as these two sentences were uttered, the temperament, mind, and bearing of both parties were immediately distinguished.
Wang Ping, Ren Yuan and others secretly glanced at Wang Lin with approval.
Pan Ming snorted coldly and said: "But you are a country boy, how could you be so virtuous and capable, and you dare to call yourself the Martial Arts Star Linfan, the reincarnation of the King of Chu? How arrogant!"
Wang Lin shrugged: "These are all rumors from the villagers. They are spread by rumors, and they are not for me to boast about myself!"
Wang Lin thought to himself, this is what this kid is jealous of!
No wonder he has been inexplicably hostile to me since the school meeting yesterday!
"Since this is a false rumor and you are not trying to gain reputation, then you should give up this so-called nickname in public."
"Otherwise, I will advise the officials. You, a commoner, pretend to be king. What are your evil intentions?"
Everyone took a breath of air.
Wang Lin's nickname is a folk legend, spread among the people, and is equivalent to a nickname for people in the world. It cannot be taken seriously at all, and it cannot be used in polite society. However, if Pan Ming deliberately sticks to this point and stirs up trouble, Wang Lin will have trouble.
big trouble!
Master Li was extremely embarrassed and annoyed.
She regretted so much now that she shouldn't have let Pan Ming in. But the problem was that if she didn't let him in and allowed him to cause trouble, the banquet would also be disrupted.
Ma Kuo was so angry that he couldn't help but stand up and said: "Marquis Xingyang, the nickname in the public, how can we take it seriously? If you follow your fallacy, Dian Wei, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, is said to be the reincarnation of the ancient God of Xingtian, and Guan Yunchang is said to be the reincarnation of the water god Gonggong.
In the Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Chengdu was known as the God of Thunder who came to the world. In the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui also had the reputation of the reincarnation of the Arrow God. Even Di Qing, the general of our dynasty, once said that the martial arts star came to the world... Should we all dig it out and criticize them one by one?
Raise troops to investigate?"
Pan Ming sneered and said nothing.
Wang Lin slowly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "As the Marquis of Xingyang said, I never want to be a commoner in the next generation. These so-called false names are worthless in my opinion. If the Marquis of Xingyang likes them, just take them.
, so that you can be witnesses."
"I heard that the Marquis of Xingyang has the nickname Saipan'an. I think it's better to give him a little overlord?"
"Sai Pan'an, the little overlord, Xingyang Hou Panming, this is how it should be!"
The sarcasm in Wang Lin's words was palpable, but everyone didn't like Pan Ming's temperament, so they deliberately applauded him for his kindness.
Pan Ming stood up in embarrassment, pulled out his sword with a clang, pointed it at Wang Lin and angrily shouted: "You are a country boy, how dare you open your mouth to ridicule me?"
Wang Lin did not hesitate, turned around, jumped to Pan Ming's side, reached out and grabbed Pan Ming's sword-holding wrist, and struck with great force. Pan Ming could not move at all, and immediately felt that his wrist was about to move.
It broke, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the sword fell into Wang Lin's hand.
Then Wang Lin waved his hand, and the sword pointed at Pan Ming's throat.
