The next day, the Young Master’s Mansion.
In the early morning of that day, Han Yu had "arranged everything". In the afternoon, he couldn't wait to change into the clothes to welcome the guests and began to wait quietly for the group of people from the Hunyuan Star Gate to enter His trap.
I would like to mention here that in the history we are familiar with, the ancients usually ate "two meals a day", but in this imaginary "Da Zha" universe, because the Zhao Dynasty has been stable and prosperous. After many years of development, coupled with the "martial arts" setting, this society has evolved into the habit of "three meals a day".
This is why, in this book, we often see people eating "lunch", and dinner is usually not eaten until the evening.
If we really follow the situation of "Ming", then the plot of inviting people to dinner in this story will basically happen around four o'clock in the afternoon. It is not dark before the dinner is probably over. The dramatic effect is much worse, so here we will make some adjustments here. If any of you knowledgeable readers notice similar minor problems in the future, then don’t talk about it and just be yourself. Criticize.
Back to business
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
"Sir, the guests have arrived and are waiting in the front hall." When the butler came to Han Yu to report, he handed over the greeting card and gift list he had just received from Shuang Xie.
Normally speaking, people in the world usually don’t engage in “invitation invitations”. Even if the leader of the martial arts alliance invites you to dinner today, it will be over if you attend the appointment on time after receiving the invitation, even if you are a high-ranking official. Only people you don't know very well or in particularly formal occasions will use this.
There are two reasons why Shuangxi prepared greeting cards and gift lists today.
Firstly, after all, they came here after receiving an official invitation from the Prince's Young Master at that time. They tried their best to implement the "ceremony" in order to avoid being criticized.
Secondly, it would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good poisoning opportunity.
As for Han Yu, after taking the things, he only glanced at them, threw the gift list aside, and started to read the invitation.
Obviously, Han Yu has no interest in that insignificant meeting gift. He just wants to confirm as soon as possible how many people are coming and who they are, so as to have a preliminary understanding of whether his plan can proceed smoothly. judgment.
"Only three people came." After seeing the name on the invitation, Han Yu immediately showed a hint of disappointment.
"Yes, just three people." The butler responded quickly.
"Hmm" After pondering for two seconds, Han Yu muttered in a low voice, "There are only three people in the group. At least Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie are here, that will be enough."
After saying that, he stood up and said to the housekeeper, "Let's go meet the guests."
A moment later, in the front hall.
Not long after Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Linghuxiang sat down, refreshments were served.
The three of them were not polite. If the other party dared to give it, they would eat it.
While eating and drinking, Han Yu arrived.
He justAs soon as he entered the room, he saw the three people standing up.
Han Yu knew that the three men were going to salute him in the next second, so he bowed first and said loudly in a very earnest tone, "The three young heroes have been waiting for a long time. Please forgive Han for not being far away." "Welcome"
With just such a sentence, Sun, Huang and Linghu blocked the words "The common people pay their respects to Mr. Han" from the mouths of Sun, Huang and Linghu, making the juniors feel a little "flattered". .
This can be regarded as Han Yu’s great strength, his ability to bend and stretch, his ability to pretend and act.
As we can see from the exchange between him and Ma Er in the previous article, Han Yu is well versed in the concept of "talking to people and talking to ghosts". In order to achieve his goal, he can easily give up that kind of pretentious attitude. , and instead use a low-profile, very down-to-earth way of speaking to communicate with people whose status is much lower than themselves, and they don't really care about being verbally offended.
Now that Han Yu had planned to plot against these three "guests", he wanted to make them relax their vigilance from the very beginning, and that's why he made this move.
This trick is indeed effective if you meet ordinary young people, such as Linghu Xiang.
As the saying goes, it’s hard to hit a smiling person with your bare hands. He, Han Yu, has a high position and is an elder. When meeting a reckless young man like you for the first time, he has no airs at all and is very attentive and courteous to you. Even if you had a certain amount of wariness, suspicion and hostility towards him when you came here, it will probably weaken a lot after such an incident.
However, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai are not "ordinary young people".
At least they are neither young nor average psychologically.
When these two guys saw Han Yu's attitude, their first reaction was "this bitch has no good intentions", so they were secretly glad that they had poisoned him in advance today and kept it. Backhand.
This is called using the heart of a true villain to cross the belly of a hypocrite and compare your heart to your heart.
"Hahahaha" Two seconds later, Sun Yixie raised his voice and replied with a smile, "Easy to say, isn't it just that he didn't come out to greet you in person and made us wait here for a while? It’s okay, Mr. Han is already at his age, so we can understand him.”
Ladies and gentlemen, this is called sticking your nose in the face.
Han Yu started by saying a polite word of humiliation. He expected them to be polite after being moved, but he didn't expect that Sun Yixie would use such a condescending, "I won't care about you." "Yes" was the general attitude response.
This unexpected feedback really disrupted Han Yu's rhythm and made him slightly startled.
Even Linghu Xiang was secretly surprised at this moment and said, Damn, Brother Sun is a bit too arrogant in this situation
However, Huang Donglai remained calm, because He knew Sun Yixie very well. As soon as he heard this sentence, he understood that Brother Sun had already adjusted their own strategy according to Han Yu's strategy. The original response of "trying to be as courteous and considerate as possible" has now been transformed into another strategy. A model isIf you, surnamed Han, want to pretend to be a grandson, then let’s pretend to be grandpa.
So, as soon as Sun Yixie finished speaking, Huang Donglai immediately took on the role of "knocking on the side" "Master Han, we who are running around in the world are all rough people. If Brother Sun's words are... If you have offended anything, don't argue with him. Huang will apologize to you for him."
"Ah" Han Yu recovered from his stunned state and felt at ease. Say yes, this sentence can be regarded as a step.
"Oh, it's okay." After a slight pause for half a second, Han Yu forced out a smile and tried to speak in their market-oriented tone, "Han doesn't like red tape either, we can just talk. Just be casual, haha."
"Okay." Sun Yixie took advantage of the situation and said, "Master Han, I won't be polite to you anymore. Let me introduce you first." He patted his chest and said, "This is Sun Yixie." After saying that, he pointed at the two people around him, "These two are my good brothers. His name is Huang Donglai and his name is Linghuxiang." , he looked at Han Yu again, "Mr. Han, the reason you asked me to post yesterday was that you wanted to make friends with us, so we came here. According to the rules of the world, nothing else, you first Let's go to the dinner table and have a drink before we talk."
When Han Yu heard this, he thought to himself, "These guys don't follow the rules. They don't even sit down when they are welcoming guests and serving tea. Without even saying a few words, he asked for dinner, but he had already proposed it, so I couldn’t refuse.”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Han Yu continued, "Sun Shaoxia is really a quick talker, so please do as you please, let's get down to the table right now."
After that, he turned around and ordered a few servants to prepare for the banquet to start immediately.
Then everyone walked out of the front hall together and headed towards the back hall where the banquet had been arranged.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps out, Sun Yixie started acting like a monster again, "Ah, Mr. Han, I suddenly feel a little urgent to urinate. I want to go to the toilet, but I don't know if it's convenient."
Sun The purpose of this move is very simple. I just want to find an excuse to "take a few steps" in the young master's residence, snoop around for clues, and confirm whether the other party is ambushing or preparing any other tricks.
However, he did not expect that his move was exactly what Han Yu wanted.
"Well, of course." Han Yu was stunned for a second, then suppressed his laughter and said to the butler beside him, "Xiao Qi, please lead Sun Shaoxia over."
When he mentioned the word "past", Han Yu clearly indicated something to the housekeeper with his eyes.
The butler understood and did not say anything. He just said in a deep voice, "Yes, sir."
Following him, he nodded and came to the front of Sun Yixie and made an invitation. He gestured, "Young Master Sun, please come this way."
As soon as Sun Yixie left, he was led to Mingyu Hall, a confidential place in Han Yu's mansion. ,,
