Chapter five hundred and forty-six first strike is strong
In other words, it is not appropriate to go against the Dugu family at the moment. In any case, for a long period of time, the Dugu family will be a behemoth to Wang Junlin, which is easily unshakable. In history, even if the Sui Dynasty was replaced by the Tang Dynasty,
The Dugu family is still the top family in the world. In short, the Dugu family today is not something Wang Junlin can afford to offend.
Of course, with Wang Junlin's illustrious deeds and his magical abilities, Wang Junlin is not light to the Dugu family, so Wang Junlin handed in a greeting card today, and Dugu Changsu went out to greet him personally, and now he asked Dugu Wu to
They all stayed together for a while, and implicitly showed Dugu Changsu's attitude.
The two of them chatted while walking to the front hall where they were greeting guests. For Dugu Wudu, the chatting along the way was not without purpose. He had a good impression of Wang Junlin and they were about the same age, and he had always looked down on him.
Helping the dandy to go out and fool around all day long, he valued Wang Junlin very much, a young man who earned his wealth through his own efforts.
The music of silk, bamboo, sheng and Xiao in the front hall of Dugu Mansion was still pleasant to the ears amidst the laughter. Dugu Wudu grabbed Wang Junlin's wrist and walked inside. As he walked, he smiled and said: "Brother Wang just said what he said with his third uncle."
Don't worry about the misunderstanding. My father just told me that I must entertain Brother Wang well today. Come and have a drink in the hall."
Wang Junlin was pulled by Dugu Wudu's wrist to the front hall. He took off his shoes at the entrance of the hall, and Wang Junlin carefully entered wearing his footwear.
The front hall of Dugu Mansion is very delicately built, with all kinds of strange totems and auspicious beasts whose origins are unknown. The huge front hall is only slightly smaller than the Sui Palace. It is said that as a minister, it is enough to build such a large palace.
It's more than the standard, but the front hall of Dugu Mansion was authorized by Yang Jian's decree. Firstly, it was to honor the Dugu family members who worked hard to help him ascend the throne and become emperor. Secondly, most of them had some relationship with the late Queen Dugu.
The front hall is too large and seems a little deserted, with a sense of restraint as if you are inside the palace. Unlike the houses of Han Qinhu and patron king Yang Lin, the front hall of the Dugu family is superior to several generals in terms of decoration and layout.
It has reached more than one level. Compared with Han Qinhu's family, Dugu's family is too exquisite. The difference between a thousand-year-old family and the newly rich family of the founding of the country is clear at a glance.
All kinds of exquisite wine and food were served. In the center of the front hall, more than a dozen dancers in gorgeous palace costumes danced gracefully, with their spinning postures, flying skirts, and charming smiles. Wang Junlin was immediately intoxicated by their beauty.
In dancing.
Generally speaking, the night banquet at the Dugu family is much more upscale than that at the mansions of General Han Qinhu and patron Wang Yang Lin. Whether it is the beauty of the kabuki and the dancers or the exquisiteness of the food, it is very pleasing to the eye, as if you are in a high-class place in later generations.
Social banquets are ordinary.
However, for some reason, Wang Junlin felt uncomfortable sitting in the front hall of Dugu's house. Instead, he missed the banquet between Han Qinhu and his patron Wangfu's family...
Shocked by this untimely emotion, Wang Junlin thought that it was probably because his relationship with the Dugu family was far inferior to that of the Han family and his patron, the Prince's Mansion.
After the song and dance ended, Dugu Wudu clapped his hands, and another kabuki dance came on stage again. The sweet and elegant sound of silk, bamboo, sheng and flute sounded, and the beautiful maiko danced gracefully in the music.
Since it's a banquet, it's natural that there will be wine and banquet. When the wine is in full swing, it's time to serve the main course.
Not long after, a cook outside the front hall brought a sheep, stood on the corridor outside the hall and saluted the guests and hosts. Dugu Wudu nodded, and the cook took out a sharp knife from his waist in front of the guests, and expertly inserted it into the live sheep.
neck, killing the sheep, bleeding them and skinning them, all procedures were done in an orderly manner.
After the inside and outside of the sheep were properly cleaned, Dugu Warrior asked Wang Junlin to come down to the hall and walked to the sheep. Then Wang Junlin chose first and pointed to a piece of tender meat on the sheep's belly. The cook next to him understood and took the sheep.
A piece of tender meat was cut off and then shrunk...
There were four songs and dances in a row. After half an hour, the mutton that had just been selected was roasted. The servants brought wooden trays to the hall and placed them in front of Wang Junlin. The mutton was sprinkled with fine pepper and served with some kind of special apricot jam.
, this is the most famous main dish among the upper class in the Sui Dynasty, called "Guoting Sheep".
The banquet at Dugu Mansion gave Wang Junlin a strong feeling that it was very particular. Every dish, every dish, every drink, every dance, and every word was carefully arranged.
It seemed as if the entire Dugu Mansion had rehearsed many times in advance for this banquet.
Of course, this kind of exquisiteness was well concealed in the uninhibited laughter between the guests and the host, making it difficult to detect. But for someone like Wang Junlin, who was attending such a banquet for the first time, it felt a little unreasonable.
A comfortable sense of restraint.
Fortunately, Dugu Wudu was very good at talking and was very interested in Wang Junlin's many famous deeds. He asked Wang Junlin one by one for advice. Wang Junlin slowly said some things with reservations. Overall, the atmosphere of the banquet was great.
Very harmonious.
The banquet was in the middle of the banquet. Because the wines drunk by the rich in the Sui Dynasty nowadays were patron wines, the alcohol content of which was far inferior to that of Sanlejiang that was loved by the powerful people in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Dugu Wu had already had some alcohol.
Being drunk, Dugu Changsu finally came back. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "My dear nephew, would you like to go to a good show with me?"
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed and he said, "Uncle Dugu, do you want to take action immediately?"
Dugu Changsu looked at Wang Junlin with admiration, nodded, and said, "What? What do you think is wrong?"
Wang Junlin said: "Dugu Moyu and Dharma King Bodo must have known about the boy's visit to Uncle Dugu today. Based on the boy's understanding of Dugu Boduo, I am afraid that he has already expected that Uncle Dugu wants to take action against Dugu Moyu. And Dharma King Bodo
This person is extremely decisive and ruthless in his actions. If I am not mistaken, he may let Dugu Moyu gather all his strength to strike first. Perhaps the manpower of the other party to assassinate Uncle Dugu is already on the way."
Dugu Changsu's expression changed several times, he thought for a moment, turned around and said to Dugu Wudu: "Go and dress up the man in the small courtyard next to the courtyard where I live, and prepare to travel with me."
…
…
A cavalry consisting of twenty people at the front and rear, with a carriage in the middle, drove out of Dugu Mansion, onto the street, and moved forward.
Dugu Wudu rode to the side of Kou Zhong, rode with him, and whispered: "Is this route appropriate? The enemy can easily hide in the trees to assassinate."
He hadn't noticed it before, but when he got on his horse, Wang Junlin noticed that Dugu Wudu was actually both civil and military: "The biggest fear is that they won't come."
