Chapter 440 Jade Pendant
The beautiful young man who was called Hongyu by Shen Li fluttered his long eyelashes. His face was full of surprise and excitement. He subconsciously raised his feet and walked towards Shen Li, but was stopped by Mr. Zhao next to him.
Hongyu only stared at Shen Li, "Brother Li, it's really you."
He might have been too excited, his porcelain-white face had two blushes on his face, and he stared at Shen Li intently.
Shen Li frowned and looked at him, wondering why he was here on such an occasion. He was actually with the envoy from Nanzhao.
Zhou Qing looked at Shen Li and then at the beautiful boy, and couldn't help but want to whistle.
It tastes like melon!
Marquis Qingyang was more direct. He couldn't bear it at all and whistled towards Shen Li, "Tsk, I didn't expect Master Shen to be able to reminisce about the past on such an occasion!"
Uncle Yun Qing snorted coldly and said in a strange tone: "Brother, don't talk to him so much."
The words "brother" imitate Hongyu's voice.
It's so sweet and snoring with a nasal sound.
The old monk of the Great Buddha Temple shook the goosebumps on his arm and slapped Yun Qingbo, "You better be normal!"
Yun Qingbo pursed his lips, "Why, you allow others to call me brother, but not me? Does the word brother have any special meaning? Will the person who calls me brother get married on the spot?"
The old monk of the Great Buddha Temple glanced at Shen Li, snorted and said nothing.
Shen Li stopped looking at Hongyu and just said to Mr. Zhao, "I wonder what happened?"
Master Zhao said with a cold face, "There was some unpleasantness at the palace banquet yesterday. Our Seventh Highness, adhering to the principle of friendly exchanges between the two countries, asked us to make things difficult for Zhou Huaishan.
Ah!
Unexpectedly, we came sincerely to seek peace, but Zhou Huaishan was able to attack people with both literary and military skills. "
Behind Mr. Zhao, an envoy had a striking slap mark on his face. Mr. Zhao pointed at him directly, "This is a first-rank official of my court, and he was beaten like this?"
Zhou Huaishan stood behind Zhou Qing and wanted to fight back, but the Imperial Academy gave him a look and shut him up.
The Imperial Academy Jijiu said with a cold face: "Then why don't you tell me why you were beaten? As long as your first-grade official has the qualities that a first-grade official should have, it is not his turn to receive this slap today! "
Guozijian Jijiu, who always presented himself as a refined person, became particularly mean when it came to protecting the calf.
Yesterday at the palace banquet, it was the same now.
Only he can take care of his students, no one else can touch them at all.
Mr. Zhao then said: "Why? I also want to ask you why. The jade pendant was an apology gift from us. When it was delivered to Zhou Huaishan, Zhou Huaishan's hand shook and he failed to catch it, so it fell to the ground and broke. , as the sender of the jade pendant, we didn’t blame you for deliberately not accepting it, but he hit someone with his hand? "
The Imperial Academy offered wine and said, "Are you embarrassed to say that what you gave is an apology gift? That jade pendant is clearly the one I gave to Rongyang Hou Mansion twenty years ago! Are you giving me something from Rongyang Hou Mansion as a gift to apologize? Where's your face?"
After a pause, the Imperial Academy offered wine and sneered.
"Not to mention breaking the jade pendant and getting slapped, even if the jade pendant fell directly on his face, it's not like he couldn't do it!
If you come here with the intention of slapping something in the face, don’t blame us for seriously slapping you in the face! "
Zhou Qing clicked his tongue in his heart.
It's really amazing for a cultural person to quarrel with others.
These words were spoken with precision, and the tone was as sharp as a knife, but the Imperial Academy wine ceremony was accompanied by an expression that looked like they were engaged in an academic exchange at this moment.
Mr. Zhao's face was ugly when he was retorted, and he said angrily: "Who said that this jade pendant belongs to the Rongyang Hou Mansion? Is it true that Zhou Huaishan and Rongyang Hou have the same name and surname?"
Marquis Lide, who had been standing quietly on one side, stepped forward in two steps and inserted himself between Mr. Zhao and the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.
There was a sneer and disdain on the wrinkled old face, "He doesn't have the final say, but you have the final say?"
The abbot of the Great Buddha Temple was afraid that Mr. Zhao would get angry and push Lidehou. Lidehou was too old to bear it, so he hurried forward and asked, "How do you know that the jade pendant is not from Rongyanghou Mansion?"
Qingyang Hou also stood over, "Why didn't Zhou Huaishan say that it was from my Qingyang Hou Mansion but instead said it was from Rongyang Hou Mansion?"
Yun Qingbo said: "What kind of jade pendant? Take it out and have a look."
Mr. Zhao glanced at the orange hair, red hair, purple hair and bald head in front of him and frowned.
In the beginning, they did come with the intention of suing for peace, and they indeed apologized to the Imperial Academy and Zhou Huaishan with nice words.
I originally thought that after the situation was resolved, I would use this as an excuse to go to Shen Li, have a drinking game, and let Hongyu appear at the same time.
Everything will fall into place naturally.
But he didn't expect that when Zhou Huaishan saw the jade pendant when the apology gift was brought out, his expression changed immediately.
At that time, they just thought Zhou Huaishan liked the jade pendant, and they were secretly happy.
However, no one expected that when the jade pendant was handed out, Zhou Huaishan did not catch it. Immediately after the jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into pieces, Zhou Huaishan raised his hand at lightning speed and hit their first-rank official directly in the face.
Even if he still maintains the mentality of seeking peace, this person has slapped his face hard, and he can't bow his head and smile in apology.
The first-rank official became angry at that time and grabbed Zhou Huaishan's collar.
It's almost an instinctive reaction.
Pian Guozijian Jijiu reacted quickly. Just before the first-grade official was about to grab Zhou Huaishan's collar, at the critical moment, Guozijian Jijijiu pulled Zhou Huaishan away and blocked him himself.
After Zhou Huaishan slapped him, he seemed to be in a daze, but when the Imperial College Priest pulled him away, he seemed to be sober again. He kicked the first-rank official for no reason.
The angle was tricky and went straight to the vital point.
The first-rank official was almost crippled by his kick.
Even so, Zhou Huaishan still shouted that he would rush up and beat him.
If this is the case, the Nanzhao Kingdom delegation still has to beg for peace in a humble manner, then where is the face of the Nanzhao Kingdom!
But even so, they did not intend to make a big deal, but only asked Zhou Huaishan to apologize.
Zhou Huaishan not only did not apologize, but also cursed, and the Imperial College Priest not only did not scold him but also protected him.
At this point, things have developed to this point, just like the palace banquet yesterday, and have reached a deadlock.
All plans seem to have become sudden changes when they encounter Zhou Huaishan.
Just like now, they should have gone to the palace to ask the emperor for the decision, but Zhou Huaishan called his daughter and these colorful hairs to come with her.
It was just Shen Li, an accident, but also a surprise.
They had a drinking party in order to let Hongyu meet Shen Li, and now, even without a drinking party, she still met him.
With his mind turning over and over, Lord Zhao glanced at the colorful hairs in front of him and reached out to Hongyu.
Hongyu's eyes were on Shen Li from beginning to end.
Lord Zhao bumped her shoulder and she came back to her senses, and took out a handkerchief with a broken jade pendant in it.
The abbot of the Big Buddha Temple saw the jade pendant and his face sank. Without saying a word, he grabbed Lord Zhao's neck.
