As night falls slowly, the Zhang Mansion completely becomes a mansion that exists for banquets.

One by one, the servants and maids traveled in the corridor.

Chefs are busy in the backyard kitchen.

Dozens of singers were preparing in the wing room in the backyard.

Dozens of musical instruments were also moved from Yang's mansion and placed on the screen behind Zhang's mansion's living room. More than a dozen musicians were ready.

And Yang Sun, like a mistress, commanded in the center and coordinated everything.

Everything, under her command, was in order.

When Zhang Yue saw this, he felt a little embarrassed.

This banquet taught him a lot.

It even made him understand how expensive the Han noble banquet was!

Not to mention the other person, just those singers, musicians and chefs, even if Zhang Yue sold him, he probably couldn't get enough money to support them...

"It's not easy to live in Chang'an!" Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he was also very curious about how the families who liked to hold banquets every few days and invited dozens or hundreds of noble ministers at once could bear such a price?

I'm afraid these so-called banquets are just a cover.

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhang Yue took the people to the door and prepared to welcome the guests.

Just as nightfall came, the first guest had already arrived by car.

"Shizhong Gong..." Yu Jiyan walked down from the carriage from afar, brought a few retainers holding gift boxes to Zhang Yue, and bowed respectfully, "I heard that Shizhong was going to travel far, so I came to practice it for Shizhong Gong. I hope Shizhong's flag will be victorious and show great success!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yu!" Zhang Yue stepped forward and helped Yu Jiyan up and said, "Please come in..."

Yu Jiyan bowed again and said, "I am just a little polite, I will practice it for the Shizhong..."

The retainers held the gift box and delivered it to the servant behind Zhang Yue.

When Zhang Yue saw this, he quickly smiled and said, "Yu Gong is worried..."

But he accepted the other party’s gift without hesitation.

Yu Jiyan was happy when he saw this, as happy as the New Year. He hummed a small song and led his retainers into the Zhang Mansion under the guidance of Tian Miao.

Zhang Yue looked at Yu Jiyan's back and was already calculating.

If you say goodbye tomorrow, you may be able to say a few good things to him in front of you.

At least, first settle the position of Jingzhao Yin, who is Jiyan, and wait until he returns to Beijing, and then make other plans!

After Yu Jiyan, the guests who came were a little surprised.

"Hello, Shizhong..." Guangluxunhan said that he walked off the carriage, his face was a bit old-fashioned, and he looked sarcastic, which made Zhang Yue feel a little terrified.

I wonder what medicine Han said he took the wrong one?

In theory, this Guangluxun is a famous smiling tiger in Chang'an City.

He is the one who is talking about him in person and a knife behind his back.

Even if he put a hat on forgiveness, he shouldn't be like this?

However, the two young people who followed Han talked about him immediately saw Zhang Yue and looked up and said, "Han Wen, Han Xing, pay homage to Shizhong Gong, I wish you all time to go!"

As he said that, the two brothers winked and some retainers offered two gift boxes.

One of them is particularly eye-catching.

Because, it was a copper box.

It is very rare for Han Chinese utensils to use copper as boxes!

Because copper is very precious.

Apart from gold, copper is the strongest metal.

Even some brass of good quality can be used to make pseudo-gold.

"This is the gift prepared by the sister-in-law for the servant..." Han Xing came up and introduced the bronze box like a treasure: "Last time, the servant-in-law did not abandon him, and he personally took action. The sister-in-law was very grateful, so he ordered my brother to bring this gift. I hope the servant-in-law will take care of it..."

Zhang Yue felt a little strange when he listened.

In theory, I helped me last time, and it is also necessary to thank the other party for giving gifts.

only……

What the hell is taking care of?

It seems like I have become a dissatisfied man?

Zhang Yue scratched his head, but he still took it down and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Han Xing immediately bowed happily and said, "Thank you, the servant, I will tell my sister..."

Han said beside him, his face turned darker.

He snorted and said, "Shizhong Zhang, please love yourself..."

Zhang Yue was stunned, what did he love?

But because of the affection, it was difficult to ask in person, so he laughed and said, "I will definitely keep the teachings of Guangluxun in mind..."

"Hmph!" Han said, waved his sleeves and stepped forward, not wanting to say more to this guy.

Han Wen, Han Xing saw this and quickly accused Zhang Yue of guilt and said, "My father has been depressed recently, so I hope the servant will forgive me..."

Depression?

Zhang Yue didn't know much, nor did he think Han said he would feel depressed.

But, this store is still something to do.

So he nodded and said, "It's okay, two young men, please!"

After sending Han Shuo and his son into the mansion, not long after, a large group of carriages came in front of him.

Zhang Yue hurried forward.

However, Huo Guang, Jin Riyi, Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang, Bao Shengzhi, Zhang Anshi and others came together.

These are Zhang Yue’s “good friends”.

"I am deeply honored by all my brothers..." Zhang Yue said with a smile.

"You are polite, brother..." Everyone stepped forward and gave a gift. Jin Il-jeong walked up and said to Zhang Yue: "You are so ashamed that you have nothing to help with when you are traveling for the national affairs this time. Therefore, you have prepared some small gifts and please do not refuse..."

As he said that, more than a dozen retainers walked out from behind, and everyone was holding gift boxes of all sizes.

Someone even brought a large box.

Jin Il-jeong stepped forward and opened it, revealing the things inside, but it was a set of top-notch fish scale armor and an iron helmet.

And it is different from the fish scale armor worn by ordinary generals.

This set of armor is inlaid with gold pieces between the leaves.

This is a bit too luxurious!

And, it's too conspicuous.

but……

Zhang Yue likes it very much!

In fact, the emperor also gave him three sets of armor.

But they are all standard generals and officials with armor, unlike this one. When worn on their bodies, everyone can know who the owner of armor is?

This trip really requires such a set of armor!

Zhang Yue then said flatteredly: "Brother, I have no way to repay you!"

Kim Il-yeon listened and laughed, saying, "Just brother likes it!"

Huo Guang and others also looked smiling.

Their relationship with Zhang Yue is now almost a political allies.

Now that Zhang Yue has officially embarked on his journey, it is even better news for them.

Because this shows that Zhang Yue will not compete with them anymore.

In this huge court, there is finally room for them to display.

Otherwise, if Zhang Yue stayed in Chang'an...

Just like the last time I talked about river management, everything would be snatched by this capable and favored virtuous brother!

This is really not a good time!

After someone accepted the gifts from all the elder brothers, Zhang Yue personally sent the brothers to the mansion and told Tian Miao to serve him well before he came back to continue to welcome the guests.

In the next half hour, guests came one after another.
To be continued...
