[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

Although Mr. Gongsun sympathized with them and gave them a holiday to let them enjoy the mountains and rivers, but Bai Yutang and Pang Yu didn't say they could leave, especially now, I heard that the five rats have all arrived in Xiangyang , can't always avoid seeing...

Pang Yu took a deep breath, looked at the bronze mirror again, and said not quite confidently: "Is it really okay for me to wear this? Wouldn't it be less dignified?"

Bai Yutang glanced at the clothes scattered all over the bed, most of them were the best items bought by the little crab from the tailor shop, a piece of clothes cost several taels, and they were only needed by ordinary people during the New Year and holidays, three layers inside and three layers outside Layer, it is too solemn.

Bai Yutang had no choice but to say: "This one is fine for you, it's not too hot if you wear so much?"

Pang Yu said seriously: "You have to wear it no matter how hot it is. Don't the court ministers have to wear several clothes when they enter the palace? I have to make a good impression on my brothers."

"It's such a hot day, it's good for them not to be shirtless, how can they be so particular about it like you." Bai Yutang sighed.

"..." Pang Yu thought about it. They are all people in the Jianghu, and they don't pay much attention to it. If he wears a large dress that is only needed for sacrifices, it would be embarrassing for others to wear only shorts later.

So he followed Bai Yutang's suggestion, and put on this suit again, with blue background, embroidered with bamboo patterns, although the material is not as good as satin, it is fresher and more breathable.A black girdle is tied around the waist, which makes it look like a jade tree facing the wind, tall and slender.

It's still very spiritual.

Bai Yutang casually picked out a jade pendant decorated with tassels and put it on for him: "Okay, it's pretty enough."

Pang Yu nodded: "Then let's go!"

The four elder brothers from Zikong Island were coming, and Pang Yu didn't want to neglect them, so he definitely couldn't meet them directly at the Hu Mansion, so he booked a private room in the largest restaurant in the city, and booked a sumptuous feast for the elder brothers Wash the dust.

He still wants to make a good impression on his brothers...

Bai Yutang also knew that once the little crab wanted to do something, he would put all his energy into trying to achieve perfection. Although he felt a little apprehensive in his heart, he let him go. Anyway, the little crab could only be his, and anyone could grab it. don't go.

The agreed time came soon, and the two went to Zuixian Tower first.

Pang Yu sat on the seat, didn't know where to put his hands, clutched the hem of the clothes on his knees for a while, felt that the clothes were torn by himself, wiped them off quickly, and drank three cups of tea in front of the table. Still feel thirsty.

Waiting is really a tormenting thing.

Bai Yutang just wanted to persuade him not to be so nervous, when he saw Pang Yu pouring the teapot into the cup, and found that the tea was gone.

Pang Yu stood up abruptly, and hastily carried the teapot downstairs to find Xiao Er to add water.

Bai Yutang stayed alone in the private room on the third floor, staring at the few cold dishes that were served first.

I thought: I saw a few older brothers when I turned around, I have to find a way to get them back to the empty island as soon as possible, otherwise the little crab's thoughts will only revolve around them, then he will fight this injury in exchange for the hard-earned alone time , Isn't it a waste?

The brothers all understand the pain of being alone in an empty room, and they should understand him...

Bai Yutang was still thinking about how to use euphemistic words to persuade his brother, but he saw two familiar figures walking up the stairs.The young man walking in front was wearing a red official uniform. When he saw Bai Yutang, he showed a familiar smile: "Brother Bai! You are really here."

That person was Zhan Zhao.

And beside Zhan Zhao, there was Mrs. Yan, who was wearing casual clothes.Yan Chasan also had a happy expression on his face: "Just now we met the young master downstairs. He said that you are all here and have already booked a banquet, so Mr. Zhan and I have the cheek to ask for a drink."

Saying that, Yan Chasan sat down happily: "Yeah, I like to eat cucumbers the most, or my virtuous brother knows my taste, so I specially ordered this dish for my brother, so I will not be polite to you! I was just busy with work." After a whole morning, my stomach is almost flattened by hunger..."

Zhan Zhao also said with a smile: "Let the two spend money, I will invite you later!"

The two of them were really hungry. They had just come out of the yamen, and the weather was hot. The lobby downstairs of Zuixian Tower was already full, and the girls were as busy as spinning tops, and they had to wait for a long time for the food to be served.

I thought I had to change to another restaurant to eat, but I didn't expect to see Pang Yu coming downstairs to refill the tea. He heard that the dishes in the private seat were already ready, so he waited for the food to be served, and An Lehou didn't see any embarrassment on his face, so he came in cheekily I ate it.

Bai Yutang laughed inwardly, presumably the little crab couldn't bear to see them starving after noon, so he invited them to sit together.It's just that he didn't count, these two people have a lot of food, especially Yan Chasan, even though he is a frail scholar, he can eat five or six bowls of rice for a meal.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang heard another movement on the stairs, and looking around, it was Pang Yu who came back with the teapot.

Just this time, there were three people behind Pang Yu.

These three people are Master Hu, Mr. Gongsun, and Duan Chengfeng, the eldest son of Dali who came to Xiangyang with reinforcements at the last moment.

Pang Yuchong gave Bai Yutang a wry smile, he had no choice but to order some more food.

"I have heard for a long time that Dali Wufu Minfeng is like spring all the year round. If I have the opportunity, I really want to see it!" Master Hu patted his chest and said to the son, "Don't look at the old man, I am old, but I have not enough kung fu. Fall! Did you know that on the day the army attacked the city, the old man was one of three and captured several rebels!"

Mr. Gongsun said with a smile: "Mr. Hu is always strong."

Duan Shizi also said: "It happens that I will return to Dali in a few days, sir can go on the road with us."

Master Hu is very moved, but he still has a lot of family business in Xiangyang to take care of. He has sent his wife and children away in advance, and now he has to bring them back. There are other miscellaneous things that make him hesitate.

In the end, he still regretted: "After the old man leaves the matter at hand to my useless dog, then go to Dali to visit the prince."

As they talked, the three of them also took their seats, raised their chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and did not forget to greet Pang Yu: "Young Lord, you are welcome, you are all from your own family, eat quickly!"

Master Hu said with a serious face: "I didn't say that, the young master is too thin, you should eat more meat to make up your body." He added a chicken leg to Pang Yu casually.

Pang Yu wanted to cry but had no tears: "...Thank you, you can eat too, you are welcome."

He turned his head and asked Bai Yutang for help with his eyes. Even if he didn't make a sound, Bai Yutang could still see the emotion expressed in his eyes—what to do, when the brothers came later, would he feel that he didn't respect them enough?

Bai Yutang also comforted him with his eyes, it doesn't matter, just let nature take its course.

Pang Yu didn't feel comforted at all, he couldn't taste his food, and looked at the stairs frequently, hoping that the other four mice would come, but he didn't want them to come too fast, instead of letting them eat the leftovers from this table, he It's better to ask someone to cook a table of new dishes.

Just when he was about to find an excuse to go to the back kitchen to order the menu, he heard a burst of loud laughter from the stairs.

"Haha, the fifth brother is indeed here!"

Pang Yu quickly took a closer look, only to see a big purple-faced man with a beard striding towards him, hugging Bai Yutang who had already stood up, and he patted Bai Yutang's shoulder: "Farewell!" It’s been a year, my brothers miss you very much!”

"Brother." Bai Yutang also smiled.

In addition to the big brother Bai Yutang said, there were two other big men who were almost burly, and a young man who was a little bit smaller all went up the stairs. Once they came up, the third floor seemed much narrower, and it was difficult to even stand. crowded.

Pang Yu only knew that thin young man, he was Bai Yutang's fourth brother Jiang Ping, they met once in Kaifeng.

Jiang Ping also saw Pang Yu, and blinked at him. Pang Yu was moved by the intimacy and relief, and he hurriedly stepped forward to invite everyone to sit down: "Brothers, the drinks are meager, please don't mind, let's eat first." Order some pads to fill your stomach, and I will ask the cook to cook a few new dishes..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang's elder brother Zhuan Tianshu Lu conveniently put away his smile, and gave Pang Yu a serious and slow look.

Pang Yu's heart was pounding, fearing that the other party was about to say something that would beat a mandarin duck.In fact, he also felt that this reception banquet was not done well at all, if he had declined them when Zhan Zhao and the others came... However, seeing these people sweating and hungry with their chests pressed against their backs, he couldn't bear it anymore to refuse.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Lu Fang respectfully clasped his fists at Pang Yu, and his voice was like a bell: "I heard that An Lehou saved my fifth younger brother's life in the Sky Tower, and the young master will be our brother from now on. If anyone dares to bully me As for you, just tell us, brothers help you teach him!"

Behind him, Chedishu Han Zhang and Zhuanshanshu Xu Qing also clasped their fists in a dignified manner.

Jiang Ping smiled and cupped his hands meaningfully, and winked at him, meaning that my fourth brother also contributed a lot to this journey, and I did not miss your good words.

Pang Yu felt at ease, and just as he smiled, he felt someone hugging his shoulders. Behind him, Bai Yutang said in a slightly uncomfortable tone: "With me here, how can anyone bully the little crab?"

Lu Fang, Han Zhang, Xu Qing, Jiang Ping: "..."
