Chapter nine hundred and thirty fifth special invitation
Chen Mansion.
Chen Shuda was sitting in the main hall. He had just seen off two groups of people who came to pay New Year's greetings.
As the Minister of Rites, he can be regarded as the mainstay of the imperial court, and he is naturally well-connected.
However, he was not very happy when these officials came to visit him.
Deep in his heart, he was looking forward to the King of Shu and his two daughters coming to pay New Year greetings.
After all, the two daughters had just married Li Ke not long ago.
Ordinarily, when your son-in-law comes to visit you for New Year greetings, you should arrive early.
But it was almost noon, and there was still no sign of Li Ke.
Chen Shuda complained in his heart, that bastard Li Ke didn't understand etiquette, why didn't his two daughters also understand etiquette?
At this moment, the housekeeper hurried in and said happily: "Master, there is news, the King of Shu has sent someone!"
King of Shu?
Chen Shuda stood up excitedly: "Haha, I just said that although His Royal Highness the King of Shu is sometimes unreasonable, he still has some etiquette in life. Come on, I will go to greet them personally. Although he is my husband-in-law, today
It’s my two daughters who are returning to their husband’s house, but he is His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and his two daughters are also princesses. How dare I ask the elders..."
With that said, Chen Shuda was about to walk out.
The housekeeper grabbed Chen Shuda and explained: "Sir... are you mistaken? The King of Shu and the two young ladies did not come. Instead, the ones who came were the subordinates of His Highness the King of Shu. It is said that people from the Hu County City Management Brigade...
"
"What? What's going on?" Chen Shuda was a little dumbfounded, "Go and let someone in, I want to see why the King of Shu didn't come to pay me New Year's greetings!"
"yes!"
Not long after, the housekeeper left and returned.
Following the housekeeper were two burly men.
The two of them were wearing thin clothes, but in this cold weather, they didn't even frown. They were simply abnormal.
Chen Shuda said unhappily: "You are all sent by His Highness the King of Shu? Where is Your Highness?"
One of them said: "His Royal Highness is busy at Chang'an International Shopping Center. He asked me to send an invitation to Mr. Chen for your review."
With that said, he took out an invitation card.
Chen Shuda asked the butler to take it and took a closer look. The content of the invitation was also very simple. Basically, the King of Shu had admired Mr. Chen for a long time and praised him highly. He then said that it was ready at the Chang'an Grand Theater in Chang'an International Shopping Center.
It's a good show, and I specially invite Mr. Chen to watch it.
Originally, Chen Shuda was a little dissatisfied with Li Ke.
Could it be that the content of the invitation made me feel happy again: "Oh, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is so polite. I have a relationship with him as son-in-law. His kind words make me feel a little ashamed! But, today is
It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I have to entertain friends at home, so I won't go to the Chang'an Grand Theater!"
He had some regrets.
But the two men's faces were dull: "Mr. Chen, His Highness said that the sedan chair has been prepared. Please take your family to the Chang'an Grand Theater immediately. If you don't see him after half an hour, Your Highness will go there in person with the city management team."
Come and invite me to my house!”
That's quite polite.
But his words were full of threats.
Chen Shuda was a little stunned.
How dare these two guys threaten me?
That’s not true!
Snapped.
He slapped the table and said angrily: "Humph, you two are just small city officials. You dare to talk to me like this. You are really impatient! Someone, drive them out!"
But seeing the two men's expressions unchanged, they said calmly: "Mr. Chen, please think clearly, we two have humble status, even if you beat us to death today, we will not frown, but,
If His Highness is blamed later, can you take the responsibility? You'd better think about it."
Li Ke?
Chen Shuda's heart skipped a beat.
Li Ke is this piece of shit, what else can't he do?
If he gets pushed into a hurry, he might even demolish his mansion.
That's all, who allowed herself to provoke such a husband?
If I had known this, I should not have married my two beautiful daughters to this man in the first place.
I regret it!
Immediately, Chen Shuda took Mrs. Chen and took the prepared sedan to the Chang'an Grand Theater.
…
Sikong Mansion.
"What? Your Highness the King of Shu wants to invite me to watch a play? What is going on?" Changsun Wuji was also puzzled.
Immediately, he refused.
The person who came to deliver the invitation said: "Master Changsun, my Highness has prepared a city management team of thirty people to wait around the Sikong Mansion. If Master Changsun is unwilling, these people can rush in at any time and forcefully seize Master Changsun."
take away!"
"You... do you think you are so presumptuous? Do you really think that there is no one in our Sikong Mansion?" Changsun Wuji was furious.
The man looked indifferent: "I will not regret dying for Your Highness!"
"That's all..."
Changsun Wuji waved his hands helplessly.
He was not worried that these people could break in, but he was worried that it would be unlucky to bleed in Sikong Mansion on this first day of the first lunar month, the Chinese New Year.
Immediately, Changsun Wuji also brought his family members, refused the sedan prepared by the Guancheng Brigade, and went by himself in a carriage.
…
Situ Mansion.
"You...what are you doing?"
"I am the Situ of the imperial court. How dare you, your little Guancheng, to attack me?"
"That's unreasonable!"
"Is there any more royal law?"
Wang Gui's roar sounded in the courtyard.
I saw him being carried forward by two Guancheng officials.
His family members were already trembling with fear from the rough gatekeepers.
No matter how angry Wang Gui gets, it still doesn't help.
Finally, he was carried out of Situ's Mansion and headed to Chang'an Grand Theater.
…
Similar things don't just happen in Sikong Mansion.
The most prominent ministers in the court received similar treatment. Each minister dragged his or her family to the Chang'an Grand Theater, either voluntarily or by force.
A moment of unity.
Under the protection of the guards, Du He came to Chang'an International Shopping Center.
As soon as he entered the first floor, he looked up and saw the darkness in front of him was filled with heads. The entire empty and spacious hall was blocked, with at least three hundred people in it.
What's going on?
He hurriedly entered through the back door, found Li Ke, and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, didn't I tell you that the Grand Theater can only accommodate one hundred and fifty people? Why are there so many people here?"
Li Ke scratched his head: "Teacher, when I sent out the invitation, I originally planned that some people would not come. Who would have thought that all of them came, and they were very obedient. They all brought their families with them..."
Du He was speechless for a while.
Brother, you are the prince!
Moreover, you have also sent out an extremely brutal city management team. Who dares not to come?
Li Ke said: "Teacher, how about I let some of them go back? Otherwise, just drive away all the family members!"
Du He: "...Your Highness, you've already come, why are you leaving? Don't forget, we still have to sell tickets. In this way, let me handle the matter of this seat. You hurry up and prepare to sell tickets."
Let’s do it.”
"Okay!" Li Ke rubbed his hands excitedly.
To put it nicely, selling tickets is really just about collecting money!
