My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 129
After Zhang Shuye left quietly, Wang Lin fell into deep thought for a long time.

He weighed it over and over again, and didn't close his eyes almost all night.

From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to be subject to these messy and decadent etiquettes.Even more unwilling to let Pan Jinlian who put aside everything and followed her back then be wronged.

But unless he now has the ability to completely break this old world and establish a new world and a new order, he can stand aloof and not be tied down.

The various factors mentioned by Zhang Shuye, as well as the so-called assistance of those aristocratic families and scholar-bureaucrats, are of course better than nothing, but not having it will not hurt Wang Lin's fundamentals.

He can break through the current situation with his own strength, and he has the confidence to go further.

However, once Zhao Ji Xiazhao recruited himself as a son-in-law, everything changed.

Everything he has worked so hard to manage will come to naught.

Don't talk about grand plans and anti-golden plans, he will become a political vase to accompany Zhao Ji to eat, drink and have fun.

If you refuse to obey orders, you will be tantamount to conspiracy, and you can only throw everything aside and force yourself to go to Liangshan.After all, now, he is no longer the new son Wang Lin who came to Tokyo, but the military governor who controls the land of the six states!

With this in mind, Wang Lin made up his mind immediately.

The bright eyes and white teeth of Zhao Fujin's delicate face appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

……

On the second day, Wang Lin went to Zhe's house for a banquet first, and then went to Wang's house without stopping.

There is no doubt that these are two blind dates.

The current patriarchs of the Zhe family and the Wang family came forward to receive them in person. There were seven or eight direct descendants of the same age as Wang Lin, and the two noble daughters of the right age also hid behind the screen to observe Wang Lin's appearance.

In the evening, Wang Lin went to the Han family's spring banquet.

The mansion of the Han family is profound and magnificent, and it is one of the most prestigious residences in Tokyo.

The Spring Banquet of the Han Family has always been one of the literary feasts of the scholar-official class in Tokyo. The Han Family has produced two generations of prime ministers in the past few decades. For some reason, the Spring Banquet was full of guests.

Hearing that Wang Lin was visiting for a banquet, the captain-in-law Han Jiayan ordered his eldest son Han Shu, Han Zhongyan's grandson, and Kaifeng prefect Han Ke to welcome him together, which gave Wang Lin enough face.

"Han Shu, my subordinate, welcomes Young Master Wang into the mansion by my father's order!" Han Shu bowed.

"The lower official, Kaifeng Mansion, judges Han Ke, and is ordered by my sixth uncle to welcome Young Master Wang into the mansion with my uncle!"

Although these two people were not of high official rank, but they were from the Han family, they were personable and well-mannered. Wang Lin cupped his hands and said with a smile, "How dare you!"

Wang Lin discovered a very interesting thing today.

Normally, people now call him "Emissary", and no one calls him the title of Marquis of Bohai Sea, because his military rank is higher than his title.

But only Zhe family, Wang family and Han family called him "Master Wang", which probably respected his highest civil position.

Wang Lin followed Han Shu and Han Ke, a pair of uncles and nephews who seemed to be somewhat in harmony with each other, into the Han Mansion. According to the social practice in Tokyo, he first went to Zhongzheng Hall to pay homage to the two generations of Han Qi and his son, who are worthy of the name of the royal ancestral temple, and then went to Huge ballroom.

There are at least fifty or sixty seats in the banquet hall.

Wang Lin walked all the way with a calm expression, and saw the Zhe family Zhe Wengui and the Wang family's tomb he had just seen.

These two are the contemporary talkers of the above two.

An old man with a clear face and a golden crown on his head was wearing a purple robe and jade belt, sitting on it, and beside him was an elderly lady with a face like a full moon and a benevolent eyebrow. This was obviously Han Jiayan and Princess Qi.

Wang Lin didn't wait for Han Shu's introduction, so he went up to pay respects directly: "I have seen Her Royal Highness, I have seen Han Gong!"

Princess Qi smiled slightly: "Young Master Wang is now an important minister of the imperial court. If you come here, my Han family will be full of splendor!"

Han Jiayan slightly cupped his hands: "Young Master Wang, please take a seat."

"Thank you for your seat."

Guided by the maid, Wang Lin entered his seat, which was in the first row to the left of the main seat, but he sat down and found that the first seat opposite turned out to be Zhang Shuye.

Wang Lin got up and cupped his hands: "I've seen Taiwei Zhang!"

Zhang Shuye smiled loudly, and got up to return the salute: "May you be well!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Han Jiayan thought to himself, it turned out that Wang Lin and Zhang Shuye had always been close, and the rumors were true.so good.

Zhe Wengui, who was approaching Zhang Shuye, cupped his hands and smiled: "Master Wang, we meet again."

Wang Ling also smiled: "I have seen the envoy."

Wang Lin cupped his fists: "I've seen the two Patriarchs!"

……

Behind the screen of Han Jiayan and his wife in the banquet hall, five or six school-age girls from the Han family who were not engaged stood there silently, all staring curiously at Wang Lin in the front hall.

Han Ke's younger sister, Han Qin, is the most favored granddaughter of Han Zhongyan's lineage. Although she is the concubine's daughter, she is extremely intelligent.

Han Qin knew why the elders arranged for them to be here today. She saw Wang Lin wearing a blue shirt and a crown, with a handsome and elegant demeanor. He didn't look like a general who could be defeated by ten thousand people. She couldn't help but was surprised and said in a low voice: " Dear sisters, I heard that Young Master Wang is known as the Godly General who will subdue the tiger, and he is invincible, and seeing him face to face, he is clearly a good son in troubled times."

The other girls covered their mouths and smiled lightly.

Han Qin rolled her eyes and looked at Han Shu's young daughter Han Yan: "Yan'er, what do you think?"

Han Yan has a demure personality, smiling without saying a word.

Although she and Han Qin are both 17 years old this year, but she is the first daughter, the youngest daughter of Han Shu's wife, her status is higher than Han Qin's.

Han Qin leaned closer, watching intently.

Han Yan was really absent-minded, standing there silently thinking about her own thoughts.

The elders in the family suddenly wanted to marry Wang Lin, the most popular minister in front of the official family and the prince, and she felt quite disapproving.

Wang Lin is very famous, and it has become a hot topic in Tokyo these two days.

But in Han Yan's heart, although Wang Lin is known as both civil and military, and looks handsome today, he is still the leading military commander. He did not know how many people's blood was stained on his hands in the Tokyo Incident a few days ago. She can't talk about it. Disgusting, but not as fanatical and flocking to girls from the same clan as Han Qin.

She still wanted to marry a scholar who is full of literary talents, not asking for a prominent family background, but as long as she can get along with her writing, match her piano with music, and treat each other like a guest.Just like Lay Yi An and Zhao Mingcheng.

……

lobby.

In addition to the routine singing and dancing, the banquet soon progressed to the stage of throwing pots.

Han Jiayan and Princess Qi made a big splash, and all the unmarried sons and daughters who attended the meeting came on stage to perform. They probably knew that the Han family's spring banquet today was actually a son-in-law banquet, so they all wanted to show off.

Seeing that Wang Lin was sitting upright, a young man in brocade clothes cupped his hands and said, "Under Su Dan, why don't Master Wang come off and play games with us?"

Although the young man had a smile on his face, there was a trace of provocation in his eyes.

Another boy also clasped his fists in salute, but his eyes were more aggressive: "Fan Zhichong, I heard that Wang Shaoshi was the leader of martial arts last year, and he was also the commander of an army. This game of throwing pots must be more handy. Why don't you teach me a little bit."

The corner of Wang Lin's mouth tanned.

He already knew that these old-fashioned things were always indispensable for the banquets of the ancient dignitaries, and these dudes who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth were always indispensable to appear on the stage, but he was too lazy to play with them.

"I haven't played pitch pot, and I don't know anything about it, so I won't make a fool of myself."

Wang Lin directly refused.

I wanted to take this opportunity to compete with the very famous Wang Lin. It doesn't matter if I lose, but if I win by chance, I can directly step on Wang Lin's shoulders and become famous.

Wang Lin didn't accept the offer at all.

Fan Zhichong walked back resentfully, Su Dan also frowned and returned to his seat.

They believed that they were all descended from famous families, one was the great-grandson of Su Shi and the other was the great-grandson of Fan Wenzheng. Even the top dignitaries in Tokyo would give them some face. Unexpectedly, Wang Lin would not pee in this pot at all.

Han Jiayan and Princess Qi looked at each other, and said with a chuckle: "Although Young Master Wang is about the same age as you, he holds a high position. With this status, it is normal not to play games with you."

Princess Qi got up and said with a smile: "Everyone may know that today the palace and the son-in-law hold a spring banquet. Apart from gathering with the elders as usual, there is also the idea of ​​choosing a son-in-law for my girl from the Han family."

Zhe Wengui and Wang Ling secretly sneered and remained silent.

They said they were choosing a son-in-law for a girl from the Han family, but in fact the two couples just wanted their granddaughter Han Yan to marry Wang Lin.

For the sake of the Han family's face, and they don't want to get married directly, so they created such a public test for their son-in-law, and attracted some high-school children who admired Han Yan to act as foils, and the girls from other houses of the Han family also accompanied Han. Yan is just reading.

The two of them originally had the same intentions, but it seemed that Wang Lin had no intention of treating the two daughters. After all, they were wealthy and powerful families. Although they were unhappy, they could not force them.

Tonight is purely to watch the excitement.

"These girls in my family are all beautiful, dignified and virtuous, and they have read a lot of books, so it is inevitable that they are a little angry. If you want a future husband, it is best to be like the ancestor King Wei, who is capable of literature and martial arts, talented and beautiful Both..."

Princess Qi smiled and said, Zhe Wengui lowered his head and curled his lips, and said in his heart: Exam for a son-in-law?What the fuck, isn't this tailor-made for Wang Lin?This old woman has lost her face.

In terms of literary talents, the great-grandson of Master Sun and the great-grandson of Duke Fan Wenzheng, neither of these two are outstanding, which one is not worthy of your girl from the Han family?
But they also need both civil and military skills, and they have to compete in martial arts. Those two can fight against the tiger-subduing generals who just killed the six thieves?
Fan Zhichong and Su Dan turned red.

They are both civil and military, and they can barely be called, after all, they can ride horses and shoot arrows.

But to say that Wang Lin, who had a victory rate of [-] subdued tigers and killed Tokyo City to the ground, is tantamount to nonsense.

So their last hope is to beat Wang Lin in literature, to see if they can win Miss Yan's favor.

Princess Qi waved her hand, and five beautiful maidservants walked into the hall with five scrolls on display.

The picture is left blank, obviously waiting for the poem to be written.

The princess of Qi State smiled: "Young masters, these five paintings are made by girls from my family, and they are not named. Whoever can write a poem on a painting first with quick thinking and win the favor of the girls will be the winner. "

The five paintings represent the five daughters of the Han family who have not left the court.

Seven or eight young masters including Fan Zhichong and Su Dan rushed up immediately.

But Wang Lin sat there, completely motionless.

Han Jiayan frowned. They took great pains to make this scene, and the main goal was Wang Lin, who wanted to marry his granddaughter Han Yan. As for Han Qin and those girls, they were just adding heads.

But looking at Wang Lin like this, does he mean anything to my girl from the Han family?But if you have no intention, what are you doing here?
Han Jiayan became irritable.
