It stands to reason that it would not be too late for Han Cunbao to invite him to a banquet after Xiaotang moved to his new home and tidied up for a few days, or after he entered the imperial court, especially when he was robbed by Liu Min and other bandits on his way to Bianliang, Tokyo.
.
But Han Cunbao said: "When I learned about my nephew's schedule to come to the capital, I had already made arrangements for Xi Yan to prepare a banquet for my nephew, but I didn't expect this sudden change. It's just...my few
My uncle also invited my nephew to the banquet."
When Xiao Tang heard this, he felt that he had to go. Han Duanyan, Han Jiayan and other elders of the Han family must have held a banquet in advance when Xiao Tang went to Bianliang to thank Xiao Tang for his help that day.
Hospitality. These officials, Zanshan officials, direct bachelors of Huiyou Pavilion, civil servants of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and even a senior military official serving as the Jiedushi of Yanmen in Yunzhong invited him as a left-behind soldier.
The horse prisoner, not to mention Xiao Tang's elder in terms of age and seniority, if he can't get away with an excuse, then Xiao Tang's arrogance will be too big.
Xiao Tang thought to himself that it would be up to his close brothers to settle the family and take care of the injured, so he smiled and said, "In that case, my nephew is more respectful than to obey."
Originally, Xiao Tang and Han Cunbao asked Bian Xiang to go with them, but when Bian Xiang heard that he was not only meeting Xiao Tang and Han Cunbao, two men who were fond of martial arts, but also entertaining the elders and scholars of the Han family, his big palm-like hands shook wildly.
.On that day, I came to protect you because of the reputation of Duke Han Zhongxian and Duke Han Wending (Han Zhongyan, courtesy name Shi Pu, posthumous title Wen Ding, and now he has been given the posthumous title nearly six months after his death). But what does it have to do with you civil servants who dropped their schoolbags?
Can we chat? It would be better to have wine with the brothers at home!
Xiao Tang had no choice but to put on a Yanju silk robe, left the mansion with Han Cunbao, and took a car to Yanglou Street near Jiuqiao Gate in Bianliang City.
There are many restaurants in Yanglou Street with embroidered flags fluttering. It is named because it has the most prosperous restaurants. Xiao Tang and Han Cunbao just walked into the largest hotel on Yanglou Street, the Eight Immortals Tower. A waiter had already come up to them and nodded. Come here.
Most of the people who drink in Baxianlou are high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. How can the store clerk dare to neglect him? Besides, the waiter in the store has already recognized Han Cunbao and said hurriedly: "Hey, Mr. Han, please come in quickly!"
Xiao Tang saw that this restaurant had five buildings, three floors high, and numerous rooms and pavilions inside. He saw that the drinkers were all dressed in brocade and jade robes, and were accompanied by servants;
Looking at the half-smoked young masters and nobles, among them were raising glasses, singing songs, and greeting guests before banquets... According to "Partridge Sky" in the Song Dynasty version: The restaurant in the city has a high entrance.
In the sky, the dragon stew is delicious and fat. Gongsun gets off his horse and smells the aroma and gets drunk. He spends thousands of dollars on one drink. He invites distinguished guests and attracts distinguished people. There are music and orchestras upstairs. All kinds of beautiful things are rare and delicious. The railings on all sides are decorated with painted eaves.
Han Cunbao and the elders of the Han family entertained Xiao Tang here, which shows that they attach great importance to him. While Xiao Tang was looking around, Han Cunbao saw a group of drinkers coming down from the opposite side. He only said one word to the young man, and immediately
Let Xiao Tang come to his senses.
"Hahaha, Gao Yanei, what brings you to this Eight Immortals Tower to have a drink?"
There are so many heroes in Bianliang, Tokyo, how come I met this domineering and shameless beast first!? Xiao Tang cursed fiercely in his heart, but when he saw Gao Yanei's appearance and dress, he was confused.
Stunned.
I saw that "Gao Yanei" was wearing a Dongpo scarf on his head, an azure-colored Hangzhou silk trousers, and a jade pendant with a brocade ribbon hanging around his waist. He looked quite decent. After seeing Han Cunbao, "Gao Yanei" also handed over to him.
Said: "It turns out to be Han Jiedu. I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing recently?"
Han Cunbao smiled and replied: "Thanks to the blessing of the Yameni, things have always been well, and today there is also a lot of people here. It must be to celebrate the Yameni being appointed as the Yueyang Army Propaganda Envoy?"
The "Gao Yanei" actually said humbly: "Xiao Ke only received great favor from the official family and the blessing of his father. He is very ashamed. He is not as good as Han Jiedu's fame in the battlefield."
It shouldn't be! According to Xiao Tang's impression, Gao Yanei, the son of Gao Qiu, should be wretched and arrogant. He has a folding fan stuck behind his neck and leads a group of lackeys all day long in the busy city with a slingshot, a blowpipe and a stick stick.
She was wandering around, doing the despicable behavior of a filthy and well-behaved woman, and definitely not the young man in front of her, who looked a bit arrogant like a royal prince, but behaved without disrespecting etiquette.
Moreover, even if Han Cunbao was afraid of Gao Qiu's power, he would not go up and treat the rogue dude like this. When Xiao Tang was doubting, he heard Han Cunbao say to "Gao Yanei": "Today, the left-behind secretary of Daming Prefecture, Xiao Ai,
When the prisoner first arrived in the capital, I hosted a banquet for him here."
After hearing this, a strange color flashed in the eyes of "Gao Yanei". When he looked at Xiao Tang, he asked with deep meaning in his eyes: "Oh? Are you the Xiao Tang from Jinfeng Yulu Tower in Daming Mansion?"
Xiao Tang came back to his senses, looked directly at Gao Yanei, and asked: "Does this Yanei know the general?"
"Haha... I just heard of Shi Shi's name." After that, "Gao Yanei" said to Han Cunbao: "Jie Du uses it slowly, Xiao Ke will take his leave first."
When "Gao Yanei" and the others left, Xiao Tang asked Han Cunbao: "Han Jiedu, I heard that Gao Qiu has only one son, who is called 'Huahua Taisui' in the capital. Who is this person?"
Han Cunbao's expression condensed. He stopped and said to Xiao Tang in a low voice: "Xiannephew, you only want to say this for my ears, but don't mention it to others outside. This Gao Qiu has moved to the palace of Prince Duwei."
He was repeatedly sent out of the border and released. After receiving a generous amnesty, he returned to Bianliang. He only opened a herbal medicine shop under the Jinliang Bridge and worked as a boy under General Dong. But he was once a thief and prisoner in the army, and he was a prisoner in the army at that time.
A notorious gangster in Tokyo, which kind-hearted family would marry their daughter to him?
Gao Qiu had no biological children, so he moved into the house of his uncle Gao Sanlang. Gao Kan, his son who was accustomed to misbehavior, took him as the son of Gan Zhi. Unexpectedly, he later became the king's captain, and then transferred to the prince Duan.
After entering the official family, he was promoted to a high-ranking official because of his good playing skills. This was considered a good thing, so he married the Hun family and gave birth to his eldest son Gao Yaoqing. Later, Yan Jia, an official family of the previous dynasty, did not have a prince. After the current official family ascended the throne,
Gao Qiu was favored by the saints, and all the members of the Gao family ascended to heaven. Gao Qiu's father Gao Dunfu became the governor of Jiedushi. His brother Gao Shenzhong was promoted to a scholar in Yankang Palace, and his other brother Gao Jie became the general of Zuojinwuwei.
The eldest son Gao Yaoqing has just been granted the title of Yueyang Military Propaganda Envoy by the government. He also has two sons, Gao Yaofu and Gao Yaokang, who will also receive Gao Qiu Fuyin after the weak crown ceremony.
The handsome nephew mentioned that he was too old and had high standards. He was indeed a dandy who behaved roguely. How could Gao Yaoqing and the other three Gao Qiu's parents and children look down upon this man who was called his family brother but was actually his uncle. This
It can be regarded as Gao Qiu's old scandal. If my nephew spreads it and spreads it to Gao Qiu's ears, wouldn't it be in vain to make enemies?"
After listening to Han Cunbao's eloquent words, Xiao Tang suddenly realized that in historical facts, Gao Qiu actually had his own son. This experience can be explained by the reason why Gao Yanei was the son of a borer in the original work.
It's just... judging from the reaction of Gao Qiu's eldest son Gao Yaoqing just now, it seems that he has already paid attention to me. Xiao Tang secretly thought: Could it be that I have attracted Gao Qiu's attention now? This is really not the case. What a good signal. Gao Qiu has nothing to do with me (and I really don’t want to have any friendship with him). Judging from Gao Qiu’s status and person, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to show his kindness to me... If I put my name on Gao Qiu's side, I'm afraid that guy won't have any good intentions!
----------------------------------
Note: In the original work of Water Margin, "Gao Qiu had no biological children and no one to help him, so the uncle Gao Sanlang's son became his son in the house. He was an uncle and brother, but he became his godson." Generally speaking. Although it is understood that Song Huizong accepted Gao Yanei as his adopted son because Gao Qiu's status was rising. However, Song Huizong ascended the throne in 1100, and the timeline of Gao Qiu's biological son does not match up. Otherwise, there would be no need to accept Gao Yanei again. This is a cousin, so this book is set as described in the article.
