Zhong Yanqiu gave enough money, and he didn't care how the six sons operated—these personal contacts were always their secrets. In short, at the Fangchen Banquet held by Nan Wang's concubine three days later, he took the invitation and walked smoothly. Entered the gate of Nanwangfu.

Naturally, one had to prepare a gift when one came to celebrate his birthday. The six sons pretended to be his servants and followed by him, handed the box Zhong Yanqiu had prepared to the porter, and graciously led the way for him.

The lights and festoons in the Nanwang Mansion are just when it is lively. The butler of the Nanwang Mansion has invited the best opera troupe from the south to take turns on the stage. In the hot weather, there is no shortage of melons, fruits and vegetables on the table, especially chicken, duck and fish. There are dozens of ice basins that can be changed at any time in the house, and when you walk from the outside to the house, it cools down instantly.

The six sons glanced at the decorations and utensils in the room, ice bowls of melons and fruits, and after a rough calculation in their minds, they couldn't help but laugh at Nan Wang's extravagance.

The invitations he got were only in the outermost corner, and there were more than a dozen tables in front, and the voices of the theater troupe were completely covered by all the noisy noises around them. However, it was enough for Zhong Yanqiu.

Or rather, sitting in a corner where no one would notice was just what he wanted.

He was too lazy to build relationships with others, and he didn't want to show off, so those people around him who spent a lot of money to get into the Nanwang Mansion were busy coming and going, almost expanding their social circle and trying to get in touch with people at the top. Sitting safely in this small corner that no one noticed, eating with relish the dishes carefully prepared by the chef of Nanwangfu.

Liu Zi stood behind him with a puzzled face. It was not the first time he had done such things as bringing people into birthday banquets and other occasions. Often those people came to him for the purpose of building relationships or looking for backers. Treasure is used as a congratulatory ceremony, and I hope that there are one or two pieces that can make the owner look at me differently. I am thankful. When I enter the house, it is more like seeing...flies circling around those powerful and powerful people. Sometimes the flattery He felt ashamed even after seeing his behavior.

But this is the first time he saw Zhong Yanqiu like him, and spent a lot of money to sneak into the Nanwang Mansion. First, he didn't prepare a big gift, and he felt shabby when he saw such a small box, and second, he didn't run around the place. He made a close relationship, and after sitting down, he didn't even stand up and eat alone, as if he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver just to come in for a meal.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yanqiu put down his chopsticks and looked at Liu Zi, "If you have any questions, just ask."

"It's nothing." Liu Zi smiled lightly and perfunctorily - the more strange the situation was, the less he dared to delve into it. Be careful to sail for thousands of years. Do I want to lose this little life?

"There is nothing wrong with being cautious." Zhong Yanqiu smiled, and said again, "What I have to do has been done, so you can rest assured."

Already done? !The six sons were shocked, and subconsciously recalled the incidents that happened one after another in their minds. As the person who arranges Zhong Yanqiu's daily life, Zhong Yanqiu hardly hides anything from him, and today's incident is even more so. Handled nothing but——

"That gift..." Liu Zi murmured, he prepared the invitation card, but Zhong Yanqiu took out the gift. The small wooden box was wrapped properly with red silk when it was taken out. He doesn't know what it is, but such a box as big as a palm is light and weightless when turned upside down, so what can it hold? Besides, hundreds of people came to this birthday banquet, and the gifts they sent must be able to say nothing. Filling up a warehouse, who can guarantee that Nanwang will definitely open that gift.

"He will take it apart." Zhong Yanqiu smiled resolutely, and the six sons touched their lips, wondering if he had accidentally said what was in his mind. In theory, he should never make such a low-level mistake. As a queer, if you don't learn to cover up your true thoughts perfectly, you will end up starving to death or being beaten to death by those deceived.

"You didn't say it." Zhong Yanqiu said, "I just saw it."

The six sons stared at Zhong Yanqiu in amazement, as if seeing some incredible monster, dumbfounded and not knowing what to say, Zhong Yanqiu just smiled, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the fish on the table.

It's steamed perfectly, it's not old and not tender, it's a pity that no one eats it.

Zhong Yanqiu eats happily on his own and ignores others, but it doesn't mean that others won't talk to him. His unique style of painting was unsurprisingly over-interpreted by the people present, saying that those Nanwang invited him The rich and powerful are all sitting at the formal seats, but maybe there is such a maverick who doesn't like human relations and squats in the corner.

People are creatures that are easily persuaded by their own brains. They watch Zhong Yanqiu eating slowly, and the more they look at it, the more they feel that what they think is right. Look at the elegant posture and polite movements all over the body. With a temperament as bright as the bright moon, if it weren't for the aristocratic family, how could it be possible to raise such a jade tree that is so white and flawless.

They made up a circle of Zhong Yanqiu's identity on their own, from a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River to a wealthy family in the Central Plains. The old mentality is ready to move and wants to have a relationship with the other party. You must know that the little things that are exposed between the fingers of these real aristocratic children are enough for them to enjoy.

However, the other party sitting in the corner is obviously unwilling to socialize with others. Those who are good at gaining money have changed their minds and focused on the six sons standing behind Zhong Yanqiu - this one who has been at the bottom all year round and has a wide network of contacts. Que'er was known by quite a few people, and many even took care of his business, so in their eyes, Liu Zi became a ready-to-use target, and they reached out to solicit some money, trying to get him out of it. Get some news.

Of course, there were more courageous people who walked over and sat down beside Zhong Yanqiu.

"This sea bass is still a bit thinner." The man said, "If you want to say that the sea bass will be fattest when the autumn wind blows, it will be delicious in the world with a little cooking."

The young man who sat down smiled very amiably with crooked brows and eyes, and spoke slowly, with Wu Nong's soft accent.

Zhong Yanqiu lowered his eyes and blew on the soup in the cold bowl, and didn't speak to him.

Zhong Yanqiu didn't answer, and the man didn't feel embarrassed, he took it with a smile: "I don't know if you know that the only perch in Jiangning Prefecture in the world is four-gilled, and it grows the slowest. You have to wait until It can only be fully grown in the winter solstice, and the biggest one is less than a catty, but the taste is unmatched by other fish."

He inexplicably mentioned perch, and it was not aimless. Zhong Yanqiu put down his chopsticks, and then he continued: "Apart from perch, Jiangning Mansion also has the best embroidered lady in the world. The old lady from Shenzhen Villa heard that when she was young He is best at embroidering peonies." The more he talked, his voice became softer, and the last few words were almost close to Zhong Yanqiu's ear, "Especially black peonies."

"So?" Zhong Yanqiu picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of tofu. The fresh and tender tofu is made of high-quality ingredients, so tender that it melts in your mouth. A little salty and fresh seasoning emphasizes the flavor of the bean itself. The taste is probably frozen on ice, and the slightly cold taste is suitable for summer.

The man was still calm and smiling after being choked by him like this, as if Zhong Yanqiu had responded so shamelessly countless times, leaning against Zhong Yanqiu's ear and laughing: "It's rare that I got it." It's a good deal, sir not only cut off my fortune, but also caused the clerk to lose his life, I hope you can do me a favor with this small business." The damp and hot breath hit Zhong Yanqiu's ear, and Zhong Yanqiu turned his head to the side. , squinting at him.

"If I remember correctly, it's not your business at all. There's no good business for those who are left-handed and right-handed."

"My buddy has to take the money and invest in another Ming Lord, but I can't do anything about it." The man snorted and said, "Sometimes the money has to be put in other people's pockets to make money."

"Silver is 80, you are really willing to do it." Zhong Yanqiu said, and pushed the head of the young man who got too close to the side.

"If you want to take it, you must first give it." The man said so, his tone was soft as if he was talking to his lover, "Isn't this what you taught me?"

"I remember what I taught you is not to do to others what you don't want to do to yourself." Zhong Yanqiu looked at him indifferently, "And what you hear may not be deceptive, and seeing may not be true."

Hearing this, the man beamed with joy as if he had won some great treasure, and there was a hint of complaint, "I thought my husband had forgotten about it."

"Speak well." Zhong Yanqiu said with a frown, then said after a pause, "Since you are here... Nan Wang is dishonest again?"

"It's so funny what you said." The man smiled happily, "Since when has King Nan been honest?"

When King Nan was still a prince, he fought for the throne with the first emperor to the death, otherwise he would not have been enfeoffed in the southeast—it might be a good place in a few thousand years, but the southeast is not rich now, losing to the first emperor Later, this guy was honest for a while, and after killing the first emperor, he continued to jump around. He used to unite with the Rong people in the northern border, and later he had relations with the western regions. But it is inseparable from Nanwang's secret support.

"But if he is honest, it will be less interesting, right?" The man said, trying to lean on Zhong Yanqiu persistently.

Zhong Yanqiu glanced at him, then simply stood up and sat on the seat next to him, "Since you like it so much, this seat is for you."

The man was startled, and then moved to Zhong Yanqiu's position generously, "Thank you for your consideration, sir. By the way, I am called Gong Jiu here, sir, don't make a mistake."
