Fang Jun and the others walked out of the hall, and a servant of the Wei Mansion came to greet them. They asked respectfully: "The three consorts are about to start a banquet. Where are they going?"
Fang Jun said: "The room is too stuffy. Someone farted and made it very smoky. I really can't sit down. Can you find another place?"
The servant hurriedly said: "The prince-in-law wants to change the place, of course he can! Please wait a moment, I will ask the steward to rearrange it for you."
He ran off to find the steward. Fang Jun was well-known and no one dared to neglect him. Furthermore, the relationship between Fang Jun and the Wei family had always been good. When the old patriarch was alive, he would praise him from time to time. Even the old patriarch's
The longevity materials were all donated by Fang Jun. This origin is not ordinary.
Fang Jun, Cheng Chuliang, and Dugu Mou stood at the door of the courtyard chatting, looking at the guests and servants coming and going, and feeling the joy in the whole house.
After a while, the steward of the Wei Mansion came over with sweating profusely and said repeatedly: "Don't blame me, Erlang. The old slave is busy with work and has been a little slow. Please forgive me for my indifference."
Today, Fang Jun can be regarded as the most popular official in the court. Even though he was suspended from his post by His Majesty, he is still the Minister of War. Moreover, as the most popular person in front of His Majesty Li Er, who dares to ignore him?
Not to mention that even he had heard that the princess was marrying to the Wei family today, and Fang Jun had given a large dowry. Although the Wei family now does not have Wei Zheng as its pillar, the power of the princes cannot be compared to it.
, but taking advantage of the opportunity of the princess's marriage, the Shaofu and the Ministry of Industry allocated some money to repair the inside and outside of the Wei Mansion, and built many new pavilions and pavilions.
As your family fortune grows, your expenses will naturally increase.
Everyone in the world knows that Fang Jun is known as the "God of Wealth" and his ability to make money is unparalleled in the world. There are many ways for the Wei family to rely on Fang Jun. As long as Fang Jun's fingers are exposed, it will be enough for the Wei family.
How can you not try to please someone when you have no worries about eating and drinking?
Dugu Mou said impatiently: "Please arrange another place for us. There are evil people here, and if you don't talk to us, it will be really difficult."
Guan Shixin said: Good fellow, there are a lot of princes-in-law in this yard, all of them have high status, but you actually said that there are evil people here...
Not daring to ask any more questions, he quickly said: "Those of you, please follow me this way."
He led Fang Jun and others out of the yard and walked towards the side courtyard on the side of the back house. On the way, they naturally met guests coming in and out. When they met Fang Jun, most of them stopped and said hello, even some officials from Guanlong.
, you can stand on the roadside and nod in greeting.
Regardless of the current hostility between the two parties, only those with enough weight can become opponents. Although the Guanlong nobles have always been domineering, they have inherited the fine tradition of their ancestors when they conquered Dingxiang in Mobei, which is to have full respect for their enemies.
Fang Jun did not offend his bad temper. When people greeted him politely, he returned the greeting with a smile on his face.
Passing by a door across a courtyard, I suddenly heard a person behind me shout loudly: "Erlang! Where are you going?"
Fang Jun turned around to look, but it was Cheng Yaojin who was walking out of a corner at the back, adjusting his belt as he walked, obviously going to the latrine...
The three people quickly stood up with their hands tied, bowed and saluted: "I have met Duke Lu!"
Fang Jun continued: "Aren't you asking the manager to arrange a seat for us?"
Cheng Yaojin fastened his belt and said curiously: "Hey, you and the others are the emperor's son-in-law, first-class relatives of the emperor, and now we see that the banquet is about to begin, but the seats have not been arranged yet? This is a bit strange in Wei Mansion's affairs.
It’s not authentic.”
The steward of the Wei Mansion on the side was sweating a little and said hurriedly: "Duke Lu misunderstood that the servants had already arranged their seats in advance, but the three princes-in-law insisted on changing places, so the servants had no choice but to relocate..."
Cheng Yaojin blinked and guessed that it was probably because Fang Jun was not getting along with the princes-in-law and there was something wrong with his words, so he just turned his back and moved his place.
He put his hand on Fang Jun's shoulder and said casually: "You're asking for trouble, too. With your current status, how can you sit at the same table with those losers? You're worthless! Come on, come on.
I’ll go to my table and have a few drinks with you.”
Fang Jun shrank his shoulders and took a step to the side without being confused.
Cheng Yaojin's hand on his shoulder naturally failed. He was stunned for a moment and said displeasedly: "Mother! Do you dislike me for not cleaning my hands?"
Fang Jun was a little embarrassed. He looked at his hands and said, "Your hands are not even wet..."
I don’t wash my hands after going to the toilet and put my hands on other people’s shoulders. Isn’t it disgusting?
Cheng Yaojin laughed angrily, kicked Fang Jun, and said angrily: "If my palm is wet, you should dislike it, right?"
Fang Jun thought about it and thought it made sense, but he couldn't tell whether it was wet or something...
"You little bastard, you don't look like a killer in our army. What are you doing all day long? Hurry up and have a few drinks with me. I drank to my heart's content today. Let's forget about it. If not, I will never be done with you.
!”
Cheng Yaojin cursed, then turned back to Dugu Mou and his son Cheng Chuliang and said, "You two go find a place, this kid can't leave!"
Then he took Fang Jun's hand and walked across the courtyard, ignoring Fang Jun's cold expression and constant struggle...
Dugumou and Cheng Chuliang had no choice but to bow to each other and then follow the steward to find a seat.
In terms of status, they are both the princes-in-law of the dynasty, but when it comes to status and influence, the two of them have been far away from Fang Jun, making it difficult for them to woo Fang Jun. For example, Cheng Yaojin and other big shots in the dynasty will have Fang Jun.
They are treated as colleagues who can sit on equal footing, but the two of them are just juniors.
Among all the princes-in-law, perhaps only the governor of Yingzhou was the only one who was comparable to Zhou Daowu in Fengjiang, and the rest were all inferior by more than one step.
This is determined by strength and cannot be envied.
…
Fang Jun was pulled into the courtyard by Cheng Yaojin. He shook Cheng Yaojin's big hand a few times but could not shake it off. He could only let it go with a tangled look on his face, wishing he could find a knife to chop off his hand.
too disgusting……
The courtyard is not big, but the houses are exquisite, with carved beams and painted pillars, five ridges and six animals. It was obviously built for the purpose of marrying the princess. After entering the main hall, I saw that a table had been set up in the hall, and six or seven people were sitting around the table. When I saw Cheng Yao
Jin dragged Fang Jun inside, and everyone looked surprised.
Zhang Shigui looked happy, waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Erlang, come to my side and hold back the wine for me!"
Yuchi Gong was a little dissatisfied and said: "It's hard to find a boy who can drink well. Why should he stop you from drinking? When you sit at the table, you can do your best. If you don't drink, you won't be allowed to leave!"
Zhang Shigui chuckled and said, "I have a close relationship with Erlang. Among all of you, who is more qualified than me to let this guy stop drinking?"
Once you say this, no one can refute it.
Fang Jun's official position as General of Youtunwei was Zhang Shigui, who succeeded him. The entire Youtunwei was Zhang Shigui's team with many years of hard work. They were all handed over to Fang Jun without any secrets or conflicts. This allowed Fang Jun to easily control Youtunwei.
, and then the troops left Mobei and achieved great military exploits.
This favor is not a small one. No matter how powerful Fang Jun is, he still has to act respectfully and respectfully in front of Zhang Shigui and not dare to overstep the mark.
This is the inheritance in the military. Fang Jun can go toe-to-toe with Changsun Wuji with swords and guns, but if he dares to be disrespectful to Zhang Shigui, his reputation will be immediately ruined and it will be difficult to convince the crowd.
Fang Jun quickly stepped forward and saluted everyone present.
In addition to Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Zhang Shigui, there are also Liu Hongji, Li Daliang, Zhang Liang, and the British Duke Li Ji. They are all military bosses who followed His Majesty Li Er in the bloody battles in the north and south.
Countless invincible generals almost represent the strongest military force in the current court except the Guanlong nobles.
Although they were all warriors in the past and fought side by side, their status is different today. The opportunities for these people to get together are really rare and rare.
Everyone is a senior boss, Fang Jun is respectful and does not dare to neglect in the slightest.
Everyone accepted the gift calmly, but when they arrived at Zhang Liang's place, they quickly stood up and bowed their hands to return the gift. Everyone else was a big boss, but although he had sufficient qualifications, he was now considered one of Fang Jun's "horse boys". Even the Punishment Department at this moment
His status as Minister was only possible because of Fang Jun's good words in front of His Majesty Li Er. Not to mention that he had suffered countless losses from Fang Jun. How dare he arrogantly imitate others and accept Fang Jun's courtesy?
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Zhang Liang and said: "Today, Duke Yun will be in charge of the pots and filling the bar, and all the waiters will have to move away so as not to be an eyesore."
With that said, the man with the golden sword took a seat at the table.
What he hates the most is such a weak and unprincipled person. He had previously obtained the promise of the Guanlong nobles and eagerly ran to Jiangnan to restrain Fang Jun. As a result, Fang Jun could not even eat enough and almost died.
After losing it, he waggled his tail between his legs and begged for mercy, willing to become Fang Jun's "horse boy", which was really embarrassing.
