Dajin picked up a god of war

At this time, Wang Xun, who had not participated in the conversation, suddenly got up and came over.

"A'Ning, in your opinion, will Xie Gong come today?"

Wang Xun's words are always so plain and relaxed, but the questions he raises are always very sharp.

It can be said to hit the nail on the head.

Ah!
Speaking of this matter, the topic can be long.

"What do you think, Brother Xian?"

Seeing that Wang Xun, who was always silent, suddenly opened his mouth, Wang Gong's interest also increased greatly. Since he is interested in this matter, he must have an answer.

Wang Gong smiled and said, "I think it will definitely come."

"So sure?"

Wang Xun thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "Indeed."

However, looking back at the other two brothers present, it seems that their views are different.

Especially Xi Hui, who has a quick temper and is indifferent to many things, absolutely can't bear it.

As soon as Wang Xun's words fell, Xi Hui immediately expressed his objection.

"how can that be?"

"I think it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Xie to be there."

"Why are you so sure?"

The brothers all know Xi Hui's temper very well, and he is easy to catch fire, so they also like to tease him the most.

"It goes without saying." Xi Hui looked very confident as he tapped his fingers on the table.

"Not to mention, what is the reason for this invitation, let alone the difference in seniority between the two."

"Originally, Xie An is an elder, and he seldom goes out recently. I heard that even visiting guests rarely see him."

"At this time, how could he take the initiative to attend your birthday banquet?"

There are also some deeper reasons, it is inconvenient for Xi Hui to explain here, and it can't be said, not to mention, it is you, Wang Aning, who sent the invitation.

Originally, Xie An had conflicts with you, and it was too late to hide, so how could he wish you a birthday, isn't this a self-deprecation?
However, even if Xi Hui didn't say it clearly, everyone present knew it very well, so it doesn't need to be very clear.

"What do you think Zhongkan?" Wang Gong asked this and that as if he was going to vote.

Asked all the friends around me over and over, but just didn't say what I thought, wasn't this deliberately trying to appease others?

Yin Zhongkan was not as big-mouthed as Xi Hui, he thought about it seriously, and then said: "I also think that Mr. Xie won't come."

"Because there is no reason to come."

Although he and Xi Hui maintain the same point of view, their starting points are completely different.

Xi Hui also gave various reasons to prove that Xie An would not come to the birthday banquet, but what about Yin Zhongkan?
This time I didn't bother myself at all.

To put it bluntly, Xie An has no reason to come.

He would neither sincerely wish Wang Gong a better life than Nanshan, nor would he sincerely want to see Wang Gong live well.

With such a psychological background, why did Xie An come?
What's more, with his honor of Xie Gong, it would be condescending to come to the palace on his own initiative.

Xie An and Wang Gong are not equal friends at all, no matter how you analyze it, Xie An has no reason to come here.

Even, there is no reason to come.

Could it be that Xie An's visit was to watch the excitement?

What Yin Zhongkan said, in exchange for Wang Gong's partial approval, he bowed his head lightly, and said with a smile: "I know what you all think."

"However, Xie Guild is here."

Huh?
What's happening here?
Why is Aning so determined?

Could it be that Xie Gong has already written him back?
"A-Ning, are you bluffing us!"

"Has Xie Guild already replied to you and agreed to attend?"

This is the only possibility!

That's right!

Hahaha!
In an instant, Wang Gong let out a hearty laugh.

What are these people talking about!

"how is this possible?"

"To tell you the truth, since the invitation was sent out, I haven't heard back yet, let alone confirm that Guild Xie will come."

hey hey!
Isn't that right?

Xie An will definitely not come.

He didn't even give an answer, which was in line with his usual style.

However, since Xie An didn't come, how could Wang Gong still laugh?
What's so funny about this?

Everyone showed such expressions one after another, but Wang Gong's expression remained unchanged.

"A'Ning, since that's the case, do you still think Xie Gong will definitely come?" Wang Xun was the first to notice Wang Gong's thoughts.

Wang Gong smiled and said, "You still know me, that's right."

"I firmly believe that Mr. Xie will definitely come this time."

Gee...

He didn't even give a reply, yet he was so confident.

Xi Hui showed a dismissive expression, he didn't believe a word at all.

"how?"

"Xi Hui, don't you believe it?" Wang Gong's smile didn't change, obviously he was in a good mood today, and he was in high spirits, which is normal.

After all, he is a birthday star.

Xi Hui poked his neck and resolutely defended his thoughts: "I really don't believe it."

"Then let's take a gamble."

"sure!"

"What are you gambling?"

As soon as they heard that there was going to be a gamble, several people became interested.

All of a sudden, they all gathered together, looked at Wang Gong with great interest, and waited for him to tell the bet.

As for Wang Gong, he naturally had a goal long ago.

"Look, I think there's something missing in that place, it's empty."

"How about it, Ah Qi, you fill it in!"

What Wang Gong was referring to was the main hall of the palace, which could be seen from the front.

Looking up, one can see that there is indeed a bit of emptiness under the eaves of the main hall.

Yin Zhongkan realized: "So it is."

"A'Ning, you want to beg for a calligraphy painting from Ah."

Wang Mi bowed his head: "Yes."

"How about it?"

"Ah Qi, let's bet you a plaque, how about it?"

"If I win and Mr. Xie comes, you can write me a plaque and hang it in my main hall."

"If you win, I'll give you a good inkstone, how about it?"

This bet is OK!
No loss no gain.

Wang Gong is also a man who loves books like his life. The brothers know that Wang Gong has a lot of collections, and there are so many high-quality brushes and inkstones that they cannot be counted.

A painting of calligraphy, or an inkstone, this deal is very suitable no matter what.

Everyone is very happy, but only one person is very reluctant.

It is Xi Hui.

"This can't be done!"

"A'Ning, if you want to ask for calligraphy, you should ask Wang Xun. Those few strokes of mine are too embarrassing for anyone to see!"

"I don't write."

"no!"

What other people think is an extremely good deal, but in Xi Hui's view, it is very likely to embarrass him.

He is a very face-saving person. Although everyone is from aristocratic families and has a family background, Xi Hui does not deny that he is also a person who loves to write and paint.

But loving doesn’t mean being good at it.

The brothers here, including the birthday star Wang Gong of course, all know that his level is not very good.Isn't it a joke to ask him to write a plaque at this level?
Where is that plaque?

It was to be hung in the main hall and placed there brightly, as long as anyone who entered the palace looked up, they could see it.

There are people coming and going in the palace all day long, and you still want these guests to come and watch Xi Hui's big crooked characters?

It's so exciting too!
Absolutely not!

As soon as Xi Hui said this, the brothers burst out laughing immediately, hey, how could I forget this matter.

Xi Hui, his handwriting is not so beautiful.

As a result, the laughter of the crowd made it even more apparent that Wang Gong's so-called bet was full of malice.

"Hey, Ah Qi, we are friends, who would laugh at you?"

"Besides, I'm making a bet with you, what do you want Wang Xun's calligraphy to do?"

"That's what you said." Wang Xun agreed with a smile.

Although today's banquet has not started yet, some interesting things have happened.

lively!

Very lively!

It seems that Wang Xun at today's banquet is calm, but in fact, he also has his own little plans.

On weekdays, among the brothers, he is the one who dislikes stirring things up the most, and it is precisely because of this calm demeanor that the brothers also relax their vigilance towards him.

As long as he is an elegant person who should exist in this circle, with him, the whole circle will become more upscale, much more high-end.

However, because Wang Xun has always disliked expressing opinions, he is reticent, and does not like to offend people, so, after a long time, few friends would specifically ask him for his thoughts.

Later in the evolution, even his existence was not so obvious.

Neglect, in the eyes of most people, is a bad thing that has always been intolerable, but for Wang Xun at this moment, it can be said to be a good thing.

The less anyone notices him, the more at ease he is.

The debate between Xi Hui and Wang Gong continued.

When it comes to calligraphy attainments, the brothers are right. Wang Xun's level is the highest and he is famous in the world. Since Wang Gong wanted calligraphy, of course he wanted to find Wang Xun.

What's more, this plaque still has to be hung in the main hall, and it is none other than Wang Xun as a bright facade.

However, Wang Gong approached Xi Hui, knowing that Xi Hui would not agree, but he still forced him, and the teasing among friends was a bit too much.

"Ah Qi, it's settled!"

"Don't be stubborn anymore!" Wang Gong insisted and forced a final decision.

How can Xi Hui agree?

"Ah Ning, if I don't write, can you still force me?"

"Change to another bet!"

Wang Gong found it even more interesting to see how he was so eager to make a fool of himself.

Then he smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

"You are blushing, are you sure that Mr. Xie will come and you will lose?"

"If you win, you will still have an inkstone!"

What the hell inkstone?

Xi Hui didn't believe it!

"As long as I'm not allowed to write a plaque, I don't need an inkstone!"

Can't you stop?
Don't gamble, can't you?

Really!

Are these people still human?

There are also strong buy and strong sell?
If you want to escape, it depends on Shou Xinglao's thoughts. Shou Xinglao has found something fun now, how could he give up so easily.

"Ah Qi, that's not acceptable, you agreed just now!"

"How can I take it back?"

If you say it, it is equivalent to the water that is poured out, right!

It's hard to get overwhelmed!

"Why not?"

"I said yes, so I can!" This time, not only blushed, but even the eyeballs were red, Xi Hui argued hard.

It's a pity that none of the brothers around him stood by his side, they were all watching the fun!
Wang Gong then turned to the crowd and said, "Do you want to go back on your word?"

"That won't do!"

"Brothers are all watching!"

"The witness is here, can you deny it?"

"Thank you for arriving!"

"My lord, Mr. Xie is here!"

"It's really here?" Yin Zhongkan sighed, and couldn't believe his ears.

And the next moment, he couldn't even believe his own eyes.

Although Xie An's people have not been seen yet, the few followers who follow him every day can already be seen.

After seeing them, one can be sure that Xie An has indeed arrived in person!
In the lively courtyard just now, it suddenly became quiet, as if it had been discussed in advance.

In the eyes of the guests, some were shocked, some were curious, and some were watching the excitement. In short, there were all kinds of expressions, all kinds of strange things.

Many of them didn't even know that there was such an important guest as Xie An at today's banquet.

So, when I heard this name for the first time, I quickly dug my ears, lest I heard it wrong.

It is impossible to mishear.

The boy who reported the letter whispered a few words in Wang Gong's ear, and Wang Gong immediately took Xi Hui's hand: "How is it?"

"You can't escape!"

"Hand in the plaque!"

Thank you Ann!

I am XXXXX!

When are you coming?

Do you want to come at this time?

Isn't it because of sincerity that you can't get along with me?

Xi Hui was so angry that he almost scratched his eyebrows and beard. Although his face was calm, he had already scolded Xie An in his heart.

"Ah Xun, did you expect that Xie Guild would come?"

Wang Gong went out to meet the guests. At this moment, Yin Zhongkan's mind suddenly went online, and he suddenly realized that Wang Xun had said before that Xie Gong would definitely come.

Before, it was only thought that he was guessing randomly, or trying to contradict Xi Hui.

But thinking about it now, maybe there is a basis for Wang Xun to say that.

It's just that he didn't like to express it, so they didn't care.

"is it?"

"There is such a thing?" Xi Hui's shocked expression, coupled with his stupid question, fully showed that he did not see this layer.

Wang Xun glanced at them. Now that things are up, it doesn't hurt to talk about it.

So, while sipping tea, Wang Xun smiled and said, "It would be an exaggeration to say that I had expected it. I also heard that Aning invited Mr. Xie, so I came up with some ideas."

"Since Aning intends to invite Xie Gong, Xie Gong will definitely come this time."

"So sure?" Xi Hui was very surprised. From this point of view, there was indeed something hidden.

Wang Xun nodded: "It can even be said that the purpose of holding the birthday banquet this time is to invite Mr. Xie. If we didn't want to meet Mr. Xie, we wouldn't even have today's gathering."

It's a chicken-and-egg question.

Most people think that there is a birthday banquet first, and then there is an invitation. The birthday banquet is the chicken, and the invitation is the egg.

But Wang Xun argues that everything is reversed.

There was an invitation first, and the birthday banquet was arranged in order to complete the invitation.

This is really a novel statement!

"Could it be that we were all honored by Mr. Xie to have this birthday banquet?" Thinking of this, Xi Hui hurriedly picked up a few chopsticks.

Especially the one piece of Gaosheng Cake is Xi Hui's favorite.

I heard that the sugar used to make this kind of pastry comes from the distant Tianzhu country. The sugar is soft and white, and it is a treasure.

It can be said to be Xi Hui's favorite.

It would be a fool not to take advantage of the advantages, of course we should eat more!
