Yipin Tang

Chapter 685
Yu Chang was receiving guests, when he saw Mo'er bringing Wang Xiang in, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Master Hou is here."

Wang Xiang nodded and smiled slightly.

Yu Chang received Wang Xiang and Mo'er took the opportunity to sneak away with a food box and went to find Yu Xiuyan.

Everyone present who didn't know Wang Xiang greeted him warmly when they saw him, and Wang Xiang also returned the greetings one by one.

Some of the guests who came this time had also been here last time. Because of Wang Xiang, they also tasted the mutated beast meat, so they were all looking forward to seeing Wang Xiang coming.

Wang Xiang didn't disappoint them either. Before he came, he asked Steward Wang to prepare a lot of mutated animal meat.

Yu Xiuyan was playing chess with Yu Shinan in the backyard of the Yu Mansion, when she saw Mo'er walking over with a happy face, she smiled and said, "Mo'er, why are you so happy."

Only then did Mo'er realize that she had already arrived in the backyard, and hurriedly bowed to Yu Shinan and Yu Xiuyan, then leaned into Yu Xiuyan's ear and whispered, "The Marquis of Jiayuan is here."

"He's coming!" Yu Xiuyan's eyes lit up.

Yu Shinan on the opposite side smiled and said, "Who is here to make our Xiuyan so happy?"

Yu Xiuyan blushed, and whispered: "I, I'm not happy." After speaking, she quickly picked up a chess piece to hide her mood.

Seeing Yu Xiuyan's move, Yu Shinan shook his head and smiled, this is not at Yu Xiuyan's level.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to go back first, and I lost this."

After speaking, he didn't dare to look at Yu Shinan's searching eyes, pulled Mo'er to bow his head and ran away.

The guests were almost here, Madam Yu who came to invite Yu Shinan, looked at Yu Xiuyan's delighted expression and secretly sighed.

"Father, the guests are already here, just waiting for you to go over."

Yu Shinan nodded and asked, "Is the Marquis of Jiayuan here?"

Madam Yu nodded and smiled, "Come on, just now I asked Dad if he was in good health."

Yu Shinan smiled brightly when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, it's even better than before."

Because of his age, Yu Shinan originally had a lot of old problems. Although it was nothing serious, he was usually uncomfortable. After drinking the mutated pear juice last time, he found that his old problems had disappeared, and his body was much more relaxed than before. , naturally more grateful to Wang Xiang.

Yu Chang was not stingy, and he immediately sent the mutated animal meat sent by Wang Xiang to the back kitchen to cook for the guests.

While speaking, seeing Yu Shinan coming, Yu Chang hurriedly stepped forward to help him, Yu Shinan waved his hand and said, "No need to help, I can walk by myself."

Yu Chang had no choice but to follow behind Yu Shinan and take care of him carefully.

As soon as Yu Shinan came, the guests at the banquet stood up and saluted Yu Shinan. Although Yu Shinan is now at home, everyone respects a great Confucian like him.

Yu Shinan saw Wang Xiang in the crowd at a glance, laughed and stepped forward.

"The Marquis of Jiayuan can come, the old man is very happy."

Wang Xiang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Mr. Yu can just call the younger generation new."

"Okay, the old man will call you Zixin directly." Yu Shinan smiled with relief and said, "The last time Zixin left in a hurry, the old man's body didn't fully recover, so I couldn't thank Zixin for saving his life. Today, Zixin Let the old man treat you well."

Wang Xiang said with a smile: "Master Yu, you are being polite. Mr. Yu is a lucky person, and there are so many famous doctors here. Even if there is no Zixin, Mr. Yu will be fine."

Wang Xiang was very humble and low-key in front of Yu Shinan, without the arrogance and arrogance of other wealthy children at all, and Yu Shinan liked it more and more.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, and people around also toasted to Wang Xiang one after another.

"I heard that His Majesty is going to hold a new event in the palace, and let the Marquis of Jiayuan organize it. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

An official asked Wang Xiang while taking advantage of the toast.

Wang Xiang nodded and said: "But there is such a thing."

Suddenly someone asked curiously: "I don't know what kind of activities will be held in the palace this year?"

Not all officials are eligible to participate in palace activities, but this does not hinder everyone's curiosity.

Wang Xiang smiled and said, "There will be a bullfight in the palace this year."

"Bullfighting?" Everyone was puzzled, obviously they didn't know what kind of activity bullfighting was.

An official wondered: "Could it be that two cows are fighting each other? This is a novelty."

Wang Xiang laughed and said: "It's not about two bulls fighting each other, but a man and a bull fighting each other. It can't be called a fight, but it's actually just to make people tease the irritable bullfight. It's quite interesting."

"Wouldn't that be very dangerous?" Someone worried. Whether it was being pushed by a bull's horn or kicked by a bull's hoof was no small matter.

"Normal bullfighting is indeed dangerous, but the matadors in this event are all capable people in the palace, so there will be no danger."

Hearing the words "capable people", many people's eyes showed envy. The future world is the world of capable people. This sentence is not wrong at all. Nowadays, many veterans in the court have gradually retreated. Especially military officers, the newly promoted are basically capable people.

"Your official has never heard of bullfighting. It's a pity that my official position is low and I don't have the qualifications to enter the palace to watch this bullfighting event."

Wang Xiang said with a smile: "It's okay, this year's event will not be held in the palace, but in the square outside the Xuanwu Gate. At that time, the people of Chang'an City can go and watch the excitement."

Hearing what Wang Xiang said, many people immediately stated that they would definitely watch it when the time came.

The conversation here was in full swing, while Yu Xiuyan stayed in the boudoir while eating the snacks Wang Xiang brought her while thinking.

After a while, Mo'er quietly ran in, sat next to Yu Xiuyan and whispered: "Marquis Jiayuan is talking to other guests in the front yard, master and master are sitting with him."

After speaking, he looked helplessly at the dim sum in front of him.

Yu Xiuyan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Greedy girl, I know you like dim sum, eat it."

"Thank you, miss!" Mo'er cheered and grabbed the dessert and ate it happily.

Yu Xiuyan patted her hand and said, "Don't just focus on eating, tell me what Marquis Jiayuan was talking to everyone in the front yard."

Mo'er swallowed the dim sum in her mouth, looked at the other dim sum on the plate and said, "I didn't hear very clearly, it seemed like I was talking about something stupid."

"What bullshit?" Yu Xiuyan was confused.

Mo'er wrinkled her nose and thought for a while and said, "It seems to say that there are some activities in the palace, and the yaks brought back from the Western Regions will be used. The other Mo'er didn't understand, but I heard everyone said that the activities in the palace this year are It was handled by the Marquis of Jiayuan."

Yu Xiuyan said with a look of pity: "It's a pity we can't enter the palace to watch the event."

Mo'er shook her head and said, "You don't need to enter the palace, I heard from Marquis Jiayuan that this year's event will be held in the square outside Xuanwu Gate, and all the people in Chang'an City will be able to watch it."

"Really!" Yu Xiuyan's eyes lit up: "Then let's go and see when the time comes, the activities organized by Marquis Jiayuan must be different from others."
