Chapter 76 Banquet
Chapter 76 Banquet
When Jin Qi arrived at the scene, he looked around, but he didn't see any disappointment on the sharp-edged face of the protagonist of the celebration banquet, but he was already used to it.
General Ghost Face doesn't like to get along with people, and he always refuses this kind of banquet if he can refuse it. Jin Qi is already very happy that he can agree to appear this time.
Jin Qi beckoned Lin Xu to sit beside him, and then looked at Xu Lan who was beside him.
Because of the accountant's affairs, Xu Lan brought Xu Jun along this time, and he was telling his servants to keep an eye on Xu Jun so that he would not let him eat too much and fill his stomach.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xu couldn't help but look at Jin Qi, and the two shook their heads helplessly after looking at each other.Xu Jun is no longer a child, but Xu Lan still helps him treat him as a child, and even has to take care of things while eating.
"Go and remind General Ghost Face." Jin Qi said, and the servants on the side hurried out.
Hearing the words, the chief eunuch guarding at the side gave a wink to the guards at the side, and then many people filed in and put all kinds of delicious delicacies on the table.
The sky has already darkened, and now the entire imperial garden is covered with lanterns, which looks like daytime.The aroma of the food mixed with the aroma of the wine makes people's index fingers move.
The ghost-faced general couldn't wait for a long time, and many officials were looking around, but they didn't ask any questions. It wasn't the first time that Jin Qi hosted a banquet for the ghost-faced general. Show up and leave.
Jin Qi and Lin Xu waited for a while, and it wasn't until Xu Lan finished explaining, that Jin Qi asked someone to come over and call Xu Lan to sit beside him.
The three of them were about to speak when there was a commotion at the door, and then all the officials in the imperial garden got up one after another, and the atmosphere became dead silent.
Lin Xu noticed something, he looked towards the door, and sure enough, the ghost-faced general with a cold and stern look was striding towards the imperial garden.
The ghost-faced general stays at the border all the year round, his hands are stained with blood and he is used to death. In addition, he wears a mask and has a withdrawn personality. He has a different temperament from the people in the court. Just standing there makes people unable to bear attention and tension. stand up.
The attention of all the officials in the court was on the ghost-faced general, but Lin Xu quickly recovered from the compelling aura. He noticed that Xu Jun was passing by the ghost-faced general.
Xu Lan also found that Xu Jun was about to go out. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to the servants of Shangshufu who followed Xu Jun, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Xu Jun looked back to see which way to go out, General Ghost Face had to look back at him anyway, and walked towards Jin Qi.
"You're here!" Jin Qi smiled.
General Ghost Face remained silent, and walked towards where Jin Qi was.
"Since everyone has arrived, don't wait any longer, let's start the banquet!" Jin Qi waved his hand.
Jin Qi's words broke the dead silence, and brought all the court officials back to their senses, and all the officials who were still in fear took their seats one after another, and the imperial garden became lively.
In order to cover up his gaffe just now, after General Ghost-Mask was called by Jin Qi to sit down, many officials stood up and praised General Ghost-Mask for his undefeated record.
The ghost-faced general was very quiet, and he hardly paid any attention to those officials, which also made the face of those who stood up to congratulate feel a little uncomfortable.
After watching the joke for a while, Jin Qi interrupted and told those people to go back to their seats, while he looked at General Ghost Face, "Why is it so late?"
"Hasn't it started yet?" General Ghost Face replied without thinking too much.
He didn't mean to be late on purpose, but he never liked this moment, and no one dared to tell him that he should arrive early for the emperor's banquet, so he always came late every time.
Although he was born to the same mother as Jin Qi, he was born in the cold palace. Since he was born, he has not been treated as a human being because of his embarrassing status. His mother is also Jin Qi's biological mother, and even imprisoned him in the house. I have been indifferent for many years.
When Jin Qi discovered his existence, he was nearly ten years old, but he was filthy and unattended, and he couldn't even stand up and talk.
After that, Jin Qi placed him by his side to teach
, until he went to the border.
Jin Qi loves and protects him very much, and what he teaches him is more about knowledge and knowledge. As for the matter of not being late for the celebration banquet, Jin Qi naturally never taught him, and he also feels that it doesn't matter, but it's just waiting moment.
Jin Qi didn't say anything, but in fact, he was just as fond of Xu Lan as his younger brother who couldn't be made public.
Lin Xu quietly took this scene into his eyes, and after the ghost-faced general sat down beside him, he moved away to stay away from the smirking Jin Qi.
At the beginning of the banquet, the officials knew that General Ghost Face was not the kind of person who would come and go with them, so they all focused their attention on the table.
General Ghost Face was so happy, and so was Jin Qi.
"The person who just passed by you is the new accountant I told you about before. He is the son of Xu Lan. I have told you the details before." Jin Qi kept looking at the ghost-faced general with both eyes, trying to Read something from his eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi in a little surprise. He thought Jin Qi didn't notice that the two just passed by.
The ghost-faced general nodded, and he looked at the place where he passed by Xu Jun just now. Xu Jun came back after going out for a while, and swallowed his saliva as soon as he entered the door, his eyes were glued to the table and could not move Open, with a greedy expression.
"Border is not suitable for him." The voice from under the mask of General Ghost Face was cold and ruthless.
Xu Jun looked as if his family was well protected, but the border gate was not his home. There could be a war there at any time, and casualties were common.
General Ghost Face is not a superficial person who judges people by their appearance, but if Xu Jun arrives at the place but cries and wants to come back, the journey from the border to the capital is far away, it is impossible for him to send someone back in person.
"The general doesn't need to worry about that." Lin Xu was still very confident in his vision of people, Xu Jun was not that kind of person.
Seeing Lin Xu speak, General Ghost Face looked in his direction. He looked at Lin Xu blankly, as if he didn't remember who this person was at all.
Lin Xu was not annoyed either, he had never dealt with General Ghost Face several times.
"He is my prime minister. His name is Lin Xu. You have met him before." Lin Xu didn't care much, but Jin Qi showed a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, "The other officials in the court are fine, you should remember him .”
General Ghost Face looked at Lin Xu again after hearing the words, but he quickly looked away.
Seeing this, Jin Qi was about to say something more, when Lin Xu gave him a look and asked him to look at Xu Lan.
Jin Qi realized it instantly, so he had to change the subject and continue talking about Xu Jun, "I have already told you about the matter, and you should take care of it after you arrive at the border."
"Yes." General Ghost Face agreed.
I had already told him about the accountant before, and he really needed an accountant. He followed him to the border, and he was naturally responsible for the security.
"He has never traveled far. If there is any offense, I hope the general will take more care of it." Xu Lan didn't plan to speak at first, but at this moment, he couldn't help explaining something more.
General Ghost Face nodded again. He recognized Xu Lan, or in other words, he only knew Xu Lan in the whole court.
Xu Lan is the only person who knows his identity. When he was rescued from the cold palace, Xu Lan also served as his husband to teach him how to read and write.
"At that time, I will arrange people to follow him." Lin Xu told the story of the guards, "It's not that he doesn't trust the general, it's just that there are many people at the border. It's always good to have multiple hearts."
The ghost-faced general didn't refuse, but just looked back at Xu Jun who was just looking at him.
Xu Jun is very busy at the moment, he is very busy, there are many dishes on the table that he wants to eat, such as braised pork ribs, braised knuckles, braised fish, and many other dishes, where should he start first? start.
Lin Xu also followed the sight of General Ghost Face. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. Every time he saw Xu Jun eating, his mood would get better.
Xu Jun's matter was agreed, and the details will be discussed later, and Jin Qi called out again to draw everyone's attention back to the table.
After the four toasted, they also began to taste the delicacies on the table.
Xu was infected by Mr. Xu, and Lin Xu enjoyed the meal extraordinarily delicious, as did Xinxin, but it was because he rarely got together with General Ghost Face.
When Lin Xu was half full, Jin Qi was already a little drunk, and Xu Lan was the same as him. Although he knew the truth that the child should be allowed to go out by himself when the child grows up, he still didn't want to give up.
After drinking for three rounds, before the banquet ended, Xu Lan was already drunk, and started to drink with the ministers. He was so drunk that he even jumped on the table.
Seeing this, the chief eunuch yelled immediately, trying to stop Xu Lan. The last time Xu Lan got drunk was quite a fuss.
"I'm going back to rest first." Jin Qi put down his glass and stood up staggeringly. He was also drunk, but he was not as noisy as Xu Lan when he was drunk.
Hearing this, the chief eunuch immediately came forward to help him. Seeing this, Lin Xu helped the wobbly one in first, "I'll just send him back. As for Mr. Xu, I will trouble you."
The matter of placing the eyeliner in the palace has not yet come to fruition. Although both Lin Xu and Jin Qi suspect the chief eunuch, there is no clear evidence, and it is impossible for them to convict based on their feelings.Besides, they still suspect that this matter has something to do with Jin Yi, so naturally they can't fight.
After realizing that it might be the Chief Eunuch, Jin Qi usually pays more attention by himself, and with the hidden guards guarding him, it is safe, but today he is drunk, so Lin Xu naturally can't let him take the Chief Eunuch and send him back.
The chief eunuch hesitated, but he finally agreed. He glanced at Jin Qi again, then turned and went to Xu Lan's side.
"I help the emperor go up to rest." Pointing the chief eunuch away, Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi. He thought it would take some effort to bring the drunk Jin Qi back to the bedroom, but he never thought that the drunk Jin Qi would be special. obedient.
He followed Lin Xu and left almost obediently, except for changing occasionally, he didn't look like he was drunk at all.
