Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 207 Enemy
His eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

What about Kou Wanwan? It was just a banquet, and just one seat at the front... bought 1 taels of silver!

OMG!
City people really know how to play!

Zhu Xiuyuan remembered that the last time he asked Qiu Wen how much money their small family had, it turned out that it was only more than 13 taels...

As a result, they held a banquet casually and bought 1 taels for one seat...

Regarding Zhu Xiuyuan's shock, Liu Wencai was very calm.

"It's only 1 taels, and it's worth it to buy the seat at the front! Hehe, brother Zhu, when you meet Miss Wanwan, you'll understand what I said is true!"

……

Zhu Xiuyuan and Liu Wencai were chatting, and before they knew it, the time had come to the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the afternoon.

That is around eleven o'clock at noon.

It’s time to take your seat!

So everyone in the inner hall left one after another and walked to the outer hall.

The inner and outer halls of Poyang Prince's Mansion are separated by the distance between them.

The people in the inner hall were usually people close to King Poyang, or people with high authority.

In the inner hall, except for Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, there were almost all princes and their heirs.

But the birthday banquet was held in the outer hall.

Therefore, when the time for the birthday banquet came, everyone in the inner hall came out one after another and came to the outer hall.

There were more guests in the outer hall, including various marquises, uncles, etc., as well as high-ranking officials from the capital.

These people are not good enough to enter the inner hall and wait for the birthday banquet to begin.

But in this outer hall, they are already a group of people with the highest official positions.

The Lords of Chen Guo are generally divided into three levels, from small to large, they are Bo, Hou and Wang!

Regardless of whether he is a prince or a vassal prince, he is always of the same rank.

Lord Hou is a third rank.

My uncle is in the fifth grade.

To become a lord of the Chen Kingdom, one must either be a relative of the emperor or have rich military exploits.

However, the titles of Bo, Marquis, and King are actually generals who lead troops in war.

If civil and military are separated, these lords should belong to the "wu" section.

As for the high officials from the imperial court in the capital, almost all of them were civilian officials.

It's just that among these civil servants, there is no first-class civil servant, and his self-heat cannot be compared with that of a first-class prince.

Therefore, there is no civil servant in the inner hall.

In the outer hall, in addition to Bo, Hou and other honorary officials and court civil servants, there are also officials from nearby prefectures and counties, and the staff of King Poyang.

These people were the largest, and Ulala occupied a large area of ​​seats.

Of course, in this entire "system" that distinguishes between distant and distant relatives, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng are exceptions.

Logically speaking, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, as local officials of prefectures and counties, should stay in the outer hall.But because King Poyang was optimistic about Zhu Xiuyuan and treated him as his nephew, he pulled Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng into the inner hall.

When Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng appeared together with King Poyang and a group of nobles, they caused a small sensation!

Now it seems that Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan have not only "climbed" to the heights of King Poyang, but are also related to so many princes at the same time... They are really envious of others!
Everyone in the outer hall looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng strangely.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng didn't care. After giving up to Prince Poyang and other princes, they walked straight to a seat in the outer hall.Zhu Xiuyuan saw the seat "occupied" by Li Linzhou and the old beggar at a glance.

Why is it said to be "occupying"? It probably has something to do with the old beggar's clothes. He is a real old beggar!Moreover, the Poyang Palace seemed to be secretly protecting this sloppy old beggar. No one dared to provoke him, so they avoided him!
The entire table was almost empty, with only Li Linzhou and the old beggar sitting there.

So Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng saw that seat at a glance. After bidding farewell to the princes, they walked there.

Zhu Xiuyuan had just taken two steps, but found that Liu Wencai was also following him, he said with a smile, "Brother Zhu, I want to sit with you!"

After all, Liu Wencai knew Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, so it made sense to go with Zhu Xiuyuan.

But... But the Prince of Poyang, Liu Xun, actually came with him!

Why is this again? !

Because Liu Xun was very cold and repulsive, Zhu Xiuyuan was not familiar with him and could not ask, so he gestured to Liu Wencai with his eyes.

Liu Wencai is the eldest son of Prince Zhenze, and Liu Xun is the eldest son of Prince Poyang, and Prince Poyang and Prince Zhenze are close friends. I believe Liu Wencai and Liu Xun should know each other.

Sure enough, Liu Wencai caught Zhu Xiuyuan's look and hurriedly asked Liu Xun who was following the crowd: "Master Liu, why are you following me?"

Liu Daxia?
Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.

This Liu Xun has a stern face, holding a knife in his arms, and two locks of hair on his forehead are blowing in the wind... He really looks like a walking hero!

However, Liu Xun ignored Liu Wencai at all.

He didn't even look at Liu Wencai.

Instead, he quickened his pace, crossed the crowd, walked in front of Zhu Xiuyuan and the others, and walked straight to the empty seats.

Looking at Liu Xun's cold back, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng looked at each other.

Liu Wencai disagreed and shrugged, as if he had anticipated Liu Xun's words and deeds.

Zhu Xiuyuan continues to move forward.

After a while, they saw Liu Xun walking straight towards the old beggar, bowing with a knife in his hand and saying something.

The distance was a bit far, and Zhu Xiuyuan and the others did not hear clearly. They saw the old beggar wave his hands helplessly, and then Liu Xun sat on the side of the old beggar.

Liu Xun is planning to spend the entire birthday party here!

Zhu Xiuyuan was slightly surprised, but he didn't think much and walked over quickly.

"Master!" Zhu Xiuyuan bowed to the old beggar.

Liu Wencai followed suit and said, "Master!"

The old beggar glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan and Liu Wencai and didn't take it seriously that Liu Wencai also called him "Master". He seemed to be used to it.

"I wish you, boy, are you okay when you come out? Come and sit down..."

Zhu Xiuyuan sat on the other side of the old beggar as promised, Liu Wencai sat next to Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng next to Liu Wencai, and finally Li Linzhou adjusted his seat and sat down next to Dong Cheng.

There were eight seats at the table, and a group of them occupied six.

The originally empty table suddenly became lively.

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan sat down, he suddenly noticed a gaze directed at him.

This gaze was like a "charged particle", carrying huge "energy" and seemed to want to penetrate Zhu Xiuyuan!

Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly looked up, and his eyes instantly came into contact with each other, causing intense sparks of collision.

Those are a pair of extremely gloomy eyes!

Bad intentions!

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself that he had just come to the outer hall, so he didn't offend anyone?Could it be that what happened just now when he came out of the front hall with the princes stung some people?
