Chapter 334 'Hongmen Banquet' (Chinese)

The next day, the Shaoshi Mansion.
Early this morning, Han Yu had already "arranged everything" and in the afternoon, he couldn't wait to change his clothes to welcome guests and began to wait for the group of people from the Hunyuan Star Gate to step into his trap.
Here is a good thing. In the history we are familiar with, the ancients usually had "eat two meals a day", but in this empty "big dynasty" universe, because the dynasty has developed stably and prosperously for many years, and with the "martial arts" setting, this society has evolved into the habit of "three meals a day".
This is why, in this book, we often see people having "lunch", and dinner is generally not started until the evening.
If we really talk about the situation of "Ming", the plot of treating someone to dinner in our story will basically happen at around 4 pm. It is not dark before the day is dark, and the effect of the drama is much worse. Therefore, we will make up for a little more settings here. What if there are those who know the knowledgeable ones who will notice similar small problems in the future... Then let's not talk about it, just do more self-criticism.
Get back to the point...
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
"Master, the guest is here and is waiting in the foreground." When the butler came to Han Yu to report, he submitted all the greetings and gift lists he had just received from Shuangxie.
In theory, people in the world usually do not use "public visits". Even if the leader of the martial arts world invites you to dinner today, you will be finished after receiving the invitation. Even among high-ranking officials and nobles, only people who are not familiar with each other or in particularly formal occasions will use this.
There are two reasons why Shuangxiu prepared a greeting and gift list today.
First, they came after all, after all, after receiving the official invitation from the Prince Shao Shi of the dynasty, and tried their best to get the "Li'er" in place to avoid losing people's words.
Secondly, it would be a pity not to take advantage of such a good opportunity to poison.
Let’s talk about Han Yu. After taking the thing, he just glanced at it, threw the gift list aside and started reading the post.
Obviously, Han Yu had no interest in the insignificant meeting gift. Now he just wanted to confirm how many people came and who they were as soon as possible, so as to make a preliminary judgment on whether his plan could be smoothly.
"Only three people came?" After seeing the name on the visitation, Han Yu immediately showed a hint of disappointment.
"Yes, there are only three people." The butler responded quickly.
"Well..." After pondering for two seconds, Han Yu whispered, "Okay... three of them are just three, at least Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie are here, that's enough."
After saying that, he got up and said to the butler: "Let's go, see the guest!"
…………
After a moment, the front hall.
Shortly after Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang sat down, the refreshments were brought up.
The three of them were not polite. If the other party dared to give it to them, they would dare to eat it.
Han Yu arrived while eating and drinking.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw the three of them standing up.
Han Yu knew that the next second the three men would salute him, so he bowed first and said loudly in a very earnest tone: "The three young men have been waiting for a long time, so I forgive Han for not having come to welcome him!"
Just one sentence, the words "The grass-roots people pay homage to Lord Han" were blocked back, making them a little "flattered" by the younger generations.
This is also the power of Han Yu - he can bend and stretch, and he can pretend and act.
We can see from the previous article that Han Yu is well aware of the "talking people when they see people, talking nonsense when they see ghosts"; in order to achieve his goal, he can easily abandon the attitude of being polite and instead use a low-profile, down-to-earth way of speaking to communicate with people who are much lower than his identity, and does not care much about his offense in his words.
Now that Han Yu has already thought about planning these three "guests", he naturally wants to let the other party relax his vigilance from the beginning, from the attitude..., so he has this move.
If you meet ordinary young people, such as Linghu Xiang, this is indeed effective.
As the saying goes, it is hard to hit a smile on his face. Han Yu is a powerful person and an elder. He met you, a young man like you, for the first time, but he had no airs at all. He was very attentive and polite to others... Then even if you are wary of him, doubts and hostility when you come, it will probably weaken a lot after this.
However, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai are not "ordinary young people".
At least they are neither young nor ordinary psychologically.
When these two guys saw that Han Yu had this attitude, their first reaction was that "this dog is absolutely unhappy." Therefore, they were secretly glad that they poisoned them in advance today and kept a backup plan.
This is called using the heart of a real villain to overcome the affair of a hypocrite... and putting your heart in mind is true.
"Hahahaha..." Two seconds later, Sun Yixie pulled the door up and replied with a smile, "It's okay to say it, but I didn't come out to greet you in person, and asked us to wait here for a while? It's okay, Lord Han is so old, we can understand it."
Everyone, this is called being arrogant.
Han Yu started to say a polite word of self-destruction. He wanted them to be polite and polite, but he didn't expect that Sun Yixie would respond with such a condescending and "I won't bother with you."
This unexpected feedback really disrupted Han Yu's rhythm and made him slightly stunned.
Even Linghu Xiang was shocked in his heart at this time and said: Damn, what's going on with Brother Sun? Are you a little too arrogant?
However, Huang Donglai was calm because he knew Sun Yixi very well... As soon as he heard this, he understood that Brother Sun had adjusted their own strategy based on Han Yu's strategy. The original "try to be polite and considerate" response has now been converted into another mode - since your surname is Han wants to pretend to be grandson, let's follow grandpa.
So, as soon as Sun Yixi finished speaking, Huang Donglai immediately took on the role of "knocking the edge": "Mr. Han, we all run around the world are all rough people. If Brother Sun has any offense in his words, don't bother with him. Huang will apologize for him."
"Ah..." Han Yu heard this and then he calmed down from his stunned moment just now, and thought to himself: OK, this sentence is a step at least.
"Ha... it's okay." After a short pause for half a second, Han Yu forced a smile and tried to say in their erratic tone. "Han doesn't like red tape. We can speak casually, haha..."
"Okay~" Sun Yixie was just like she was caught and said with the flow, "Mr. Han, then I'm not polite to you, I'll introduce it first..." He slapped his chest, "Sun Yixie is here." As he said, he pointed to the two people around him, "These two are my good brothers, his name is Huang Donglai, and his name is Linghu Xiang..." After pointing, he looked at Han Yu again, "Mr. Han, you meant to post it yesterday. It seems that you want to make friends with us, so we came... Then according to the rules of the world, nothing else, you can accompany us to the dining table to have a few drinks before chatting."
When Han Yu heard this, he thought to himself, "These boys don't follow the rules. There are no ones who just sat down and yelled to go to the table to have a meal without saying a few words? But he has already asked, so I can't refuse."
"Uh..." After hesitating for a few seconds, Han Yu continued, "Young Master Sun is so quick to speak, so good... the master will follow the guests, let's go to the table now."
After saying that, he turned around and ordered a few servants to prepare for the meal immediately.
Then everyone walked out of the front hall together and headed towards the back hall where the banquet had been arranged.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, Sun Yixie was going to make a fuss again: "Oh! Lord Han, I suddenly felt a little anxious to pee and wanted to go to the toilet. I wonder if it's convenient?"
Brother Sun's intention was very simple, just to find an excuse to "take two steps" in this Shaoshi Mansion, peek at the clues around, and confirm whether the other party was ambushing or preparing for other tricks.
However, he did not expect that his actions were exactly what Han Yu wanted.
"Uh... Of course." Han Yu was stunned for a second, then he held back his laughter and said to the housekeeper beside him, "Xiaoqi, you can take Young Master Sun over."
When talking about the word "past", Han Yu obviously signaled something to the housekeeper with his eyes.
The housekeeper understood, but didn't say anything, but just responded in a deep voice: "Yes, lord."
Immediately afterwards, he nodded and came to the front of Sun Yixie, and made a gesture of invitation, "Sun Young Master, please come here."
Chapter completed!
