Alien Lord
Chapter 868 Hypocrite
At five o'clock in the evening, the banquet began.
Lin Ze brought Xiao Quan, Mao Chuanming, Zhou Anmin and other experts to attend the banquet.
This banquet was specially organized by Lin Renquan for Lin Ze, his grandson, so tonight, Lin Ze is the real protagonist.
Although he didn't need to go outside to greet the guests himself, but if some important ministers or the head of the family came, Lin Ze would also have to go outside to greet them.
This is a necessary etiquette, even if Lin Ze wants to escape, he can't escape.
Lin Ze knew the importance of the banquet tonight, so he kept a smile on his face.
Soon, as the night fell, some guests arrived one after another. Lin Hua, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, greeted the guests outside, while Lin Ze and Lin Yizhi, the father, waited at the entrance of the inner hall. Whenever a guest came, they would all smile Going forward to greet him made Lin Ze very tired.
The inner hall of the Hou Mansion is very large, and the left and right sides are full of banquet tables, which can accommodate hundreds of people to eat at the same time.
Today, there are more than one hundred tables in the inner hall of the Hou Mansion.
Except for a wide passageway in the middle, all the tables and chairs are neatly arranged along the two sides of the passageway. Each table is a rectangular tabletop, and up to four people can sit at the same time.
However, for those top ministers, or top family heads, one table per person, this is the minimum respect for them.
In the middle was Lin Renquan's desk, and on both sides of him were Lin Yizhi's desks.
And Lin Ze's seat is the third seat from the left, just next to Lin Yizhi's. Obviously, this is to show everyone that Lin Ze's status has risen below his father's in the Hou Mansion, and he will be An extremely important figure in the Hou Mansion. (In ancient times, the left was the most respected.)
After many people saw this arrangement, they secretly wrote it down in their hearts.
Of course, there are also people with very ugly faces. These people are the big brothers above Lin Ze.
In Lin Yizhi's generation, because Lin Renquan had determined early on that the heir to the title was Lin Renquan, and Lin Renquan's strength was indeed the strongest among all his brothers. Therefore, although his brothers in this life had some embarrassments, but However, no one was dissatisfied with Lin Renquan's succession to the title of Lord Marquis.
However, in Lin Ze's generation, the situation is different.
Before Lin Yizhi married Shi Fangying, he had already married several political///government wives and had several sons. Therefore, these sons still have some strength in the Hou's mansion.
Later, Shi Fangying appeared and gave birth to Lin Ze and Lin Libin.
Relying on Lin Yizhi's favor, Shi Fangying began to charge for the next heir of the Hou family. Therefore, the situation of the third generation of the Hou family is very complicated. It has not yet been determined who the specific heir is.
However, now the unexpected factor of Lin Ze suddenly appeared, and the big brothers on Lin Ze's head would have no idea in their hearts.
Now Lin Renquan directly puts Lin Ze's seat in the third place on the left hand, while Lin Lixuan's elder brother Lin Liquan is still a few behind, and the others are even further back. Seeing such an arrangement, Lin Liquan, etc. It's no wonder people are satisfied in their hearts.
However, after all, they are also very strict in family education, knowing that this is not the time to fight each other, so although Lin Liquan and others were very upset, they still sat down.
However, his face was still extremely ugly.
All the people in the banquet were smart people. After seeing this, some people smiled at the corners of their mouths, and soon had countless ideas in their hearts...
The arrival time of the guests is directly proportional to their status and status in the capital, the more prominent the person, the later they arrive.
For example, those officials of the third and fourth ranks arrived as early as five o'clock, while those whose official ranks were between the first and second ranks did not arrive until around half past six.
With the passage of time, the number of guests above the lobby began to increase slowly,
It's just that most of the people in the lobby are people with lower official positions. Among them, because Lin Renquan is a general, the number of generals in the hall occupies an absolute majority.
With so many generals, it is impossible to be quiet in the lobby, so the lobby is full of voices now!
After a while, the number of people gradually began to increase, and among them, the number of female customers also began to increase.
Maybe it was because there were so many female guests, so the military generals in the lobby gathered a lot, and the voice in the lobby was much quieter than before.
Among these people, some of them's eyes drifted to one place involuntarily. Xiao Quan stood beside Lin Ze with a serious face, and the innate aura on his body was faintly visible.
Even in the capital, there are only a handful of congenital-stage powerhouses. Except for those congenital-stage powerhouses in the palace, there are no more than five congenital-stage powerhouses in each of the other top aristocratic families. There is not even a single one in his family.
And Lin Ze is only eighteen years old, just a general soldier, but he already has a congenital strong man who is loyal to him, and there are more than a dozen strong men who have acquired the ninth level to the Dzogchen realm by his side. Jealousy envy hate ah.
Look at the family, just went out for half a year, gathered a strong man in the congenital stage, more than a dozen strong men from the ninth floor to the Dzogchen realm, and they have been in the family for decades, and there are only a dozen or so in the family Compared with the powerhouses of the eighth and ninth floors of the day after tomorrow, they are really...
Alas, this is true, without comparison, there is no harm!
At this time, there was a commotion from outside the door, and many people got up one after another. Seeing the abnormal movement outside the door, they knew that some important person had arrived.
Sure enough, within a short while, there was a burst of bold laughter outside the door, and then a man full of literati demeanor appeared at the door, and the people in the hall immediately recognized that this person was the teacher of the Seventh Prince. That is, Kong Yu, the deputy suzerain of Confucianism.
Behind him, Lin Yizhi personally accompanied him into the hall.
Kong Yu's status is distinguished, even among all the guests, he is one of the best figures, but at this moment, he is smiling all over his face, and he is full of guru demeanor, clasping his fists and returning salutes to those who salute to him one by one.
Just looking at this performance, he can definitely be called a modest gentleman.
Facing this Kong Yu who exuded murderous intent in front of the Hou Mansion before, Lin Ze raised his vigilance in his heart.
Seeing Kong Yu's appearance, Lin Ze couldn't help but think of the gentleman's sword in the series he had watched before.
The same Confucian demeanor, the same smiling face, the same impression of a gentleman, the same righteousness.
But, in fact, they are all pretended, and the truth inside is to achieve their goals and use whatever means. As long as they can achieve their goals, even the closest people can be betrayed and killed by themselves.
No matter how well Kong Yu pretended now, but the murderous aura in front of the Hou Mansion earlier made Lin Ze truly understand his true face, so Lin Ze was not confused by the kind gentleman smile on Kong Yu's face.
"My lord, this is the deputy suzerain of the Confucian sect. He is a top figure in the capital!" Wang Ming reminded in a low voice.
"Well, I know, but unfortunately, he is the teacher of the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng!" Lin Ze replied with a smile.
However, in order to prevent Wang Ming from being fooled, Lin Ze directly pointed out Kong Yu's details.
After all, Wang Ming Zhiqi was born as a scholar, and Kong Yu's status as the deputy suzerain of Confucianism sect, in the eyes of Wang Ming and other students, is their lifelong pursuit. Many literati, after seeing Kong Yu, are like those on the earth. Lin Ze didn't want Wang Ming to be like this, so he told Kong Yu's details in advance, lest Wang Ming accidentally mistaken himself.
"Yes, my lord, I understand!" The joy in Wang Ming's eyes disappeared, replaced by complete indifference.
If Wang Ming hadn't experienced family vengeance and a precarious life as a refugee, Wang Ming would have seen Kong Yu, the deputy suzerain of the Confucian sect, maybe he would have been crazy about star chasing like those star chasers, but after going through all these The impetuousness in Wang Ming's heart has been tempered. Therefore, upon hearing Lin Ze's words, Kong Yu's identity as the deputy suzerain of the Confucian sect was completely ignored by Wang Ming, and he was replaced by vigilance. and hostility.
Lin Ze on the side saw Wang Ming's changes clearly, and he nodded his head, feeling very satisfied in his heart.
Wang Ming was his think tank, and Lin Ze didn't want to lose Wang Ming, his think tank.
After dealing with Wang Ming's matter, Kong Yu had already arrived at the door of the lobby. At this moment, Lin Ze didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, so he stood up quickly and greeted him personally.
Kong Yu is Lin Ze's enemy, but as long as there is no real swordsman meeting, Lin Ze has to pretend.
Kong Yu kept saying hello to the people around him. Suddenly, he had a sensitive feeling that someone was looking at him, and he looked straight ahead. Immediately, Kong Yu saw a standing out from the crowd at a glance. Xiao Quan. (Xiao Quan's innate aura has not been restrained.)
Later, Kong Yu saw Lin Ze, the main purpose of his coming to the banquet.
Although I have seen Lin Ze in front of the Hou's mansion before, and I know how young Lin Ze is, but now I see this young man in front of me, but I have already achieved a great achievement that no other soldier can achieve in his entire life. Lin Ze, who has made great achievements in battle, even Kong Yu, can't help but lose his mind for a moment.
However, after all, Kong Yu is a strong person at the third level of innate, so he quickly recovered and walked towards Lin Ze with a smile on his face.
"I've met Master Kong!" Lin Ze stepped forward to meet Kong Yu.
Kong Yu is one of the three princes of the Chu State, and his official rank is super high. Of course, Lin Ze has thousands of audiences.
Fortunately, on the mainland of China, martial arts are respected, so as long as you are a martial artist, you don't need to bow down, otherwise, Lin Ze really didn't want to see Kong Yu.
