Guan Shangshu returned to his mansion with Duke Wei and Uncle Li Guo and invited them to sit in the small study. After the servants served tea and left, Guan Shangshu sighed and said: "This meeting has not been done in the same hall for decades. After receiving foreign envoys, all those who know how to behave are gone, so it’s best not to make any mistakes.”
Li Xuancheng said with a smile: "It's just arranging food, drink and living. I don't think there will be any mistakes, right?"
Guan Shangshu said: "It is this kind of place that is more likely to cause problems. Hey, Meng Shilang is really harmful. He went to Beijing, but sent a stingy guy to our Ministry of Rites. I thought, that will be the same hall. It is the most leisurely place, so let the surname Ye go to the elderly, so I agreed.
Who knows, there hasn't been a foreign envoy for decades, but now one is coming, and it is still a country that has lost contact with our Chinese dynasty for nearly two hundred years. If the envoy really wanted to complain, if he told the emperor to know about it in the capital, even the official would be implicated by him. "
Li Xuancheng heard it in his ears, and slowly changed his mind.
In the evening, the three of them left the Shangshu Mansion together, went to Huitong Hall to pick up Ke Zhiguo's envoy, and went to the Chongyi Building to have a banquet together. Taking advantage of this time, the servants, dancers, and musicians sent by the Master and Guest Department and the Jiaofang Department came one after another. After entering the Huitong Hall, when those Kezhi people come back, the whole Huitong Hall must be very different.
Upstairs, Guan Shangshu, Wei Guogong, Li Guoshu and others held a banquet to welcome Prime Minister Ke Zhi. Li Guoshu took the time to leave, pretending to go outside for convenience, and called an attendant to whisper in a low voice. The entourage then found the guard of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied Prime Minister Ke Zhi, and struck up a conversation with him.
The entourage inquired about the news from the guards of the Ministry of Rituals, and what they heard at the beginning were all worthless information. When he heard that Prime Minister Ke Zhi was offering the gift with both hands, Ye Xiaotian, a low-ranking official, took it with one hand. When she was too arrogant and rude, her eyes lit up.
Soon, he sent this news to Uncle Li Guo. After hearing what he said, Uncle Li couldn't help being overjoyed. Seeing an opportunity, he gave Ye Xiaotian eye drops and said, "Master Prime Minister, the gift you gave me I like this gift very much, and I will definitely buy a nice gift for the Prime Minister later on.”
Prime Minister Ke Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle Guo is very polite. A little gift is just to show my respect. Uncle Guo doesn't need to take it to heart."
Li Xuancheng smiled slightly, and said: "Reciprocity is a gift. By the way, Li just went out for convenience, and accidentally heard the guard of the Ministry of Rites say that the prime minister also gave gifts to the ambassador and his entourage in the same hall?"
Prime Minister Kezhi smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Shangguo took good care of us, and the officials in the same hall were very attentive, so I also prepared a gift for them, a small gift, It can be regarded as a thank you to them. Although it is the first time for me to come to Shangguo, I also know that Shangguo is a country of etiquette, and the most important thing is etiquette.
Li Xuanben thought that once he mentioned this matter, Prime Minister Ke Zhi would definitely complain to Ye Xiaotian, but he was overjoyed and looked very happy. Li Xuancheng frowned secretly, and had no choice but to further induce: "Hehe, a small official in the guild hall, the prime minister is also treated with such courtesy, he is really a virtuous corporal. The people in the guild hall have never been rude to the prime minister, right? ?”
"No no… "
Prime Minister Ke Zhi smiled and shook his head again and again: "The ambassador arranged by Shangguo is very good! Very good! He understands our country's situation very well and respects our customs very much. I am very happy!"
At this point, Prime Minister Ke Zhi picked up his wine glass, turned to Guan Shangshu and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, you are so careful and considerate. No wonder the Kingdom of Heaven is so powerful. Not only is Lord Shangshu thoughtful and considerate, but also a The little officials in charge of the reception are all so knowledgeable."
Guan Shangshu picked up the wine glass in a daze and touched him. After finishing the wine, he still didn't understand why he praised him so much. He hummed and laughed a few times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Take care of your envoy with all your heart?" , it is our responsibility. Uh... but I don’t know what the Prime Minister is referring to?"
Prime Minister Ke Zhi said happily: "Haha, I know, there is a saying in your country that you do as the Romans do. Therefore, in your country, in order to show respect, I give and accept gifts in accordance with the rules of your country. .
But in our country, the left hand is unclean, and you don’t need it to receive gifts or eat. I don’t think that Ambassador Ye of your country understands the customs of our country. He put down his left hand again, and only used his right hand to receive my gift. "
Prime Minister Ke Zhi stood up, raised his glass excitedly and said, "I'm very happy, not only because of his respect for me, but also... I'm glad that in the Kingdom of Heaven, there are people who understand our Kingdom of Ke Zhi. Come! For our friendship, for the friendship between Kezhi Kingdom and Daming Shang Kingdom, cheers!"
Guan Shangshu thought to himself: "That person surnamed Ye knows the customs of Kezhi Kingdom? It's really rare." But there was an expression on his face, and he stood up with a smile.
Li Xuancheng didn't believe that Ye Xiaotian actually knew the customs of Kezhi Kingdom thousands of miles away. He turned his mind and suddenly remembered that he had pinched Ye Xiaotian's shoulder in the afternoon. If he remembered correctly, it was his left shoulder.
Li Xuancheng knows kung fu. At that time, he used the method of splitting the muscles and bones, and he didn't save his strength. Today he is better. After Ye Xiaotian sleeps for a night, the pain will be even worse tomorrow. It is estimated that within three or two days Don't even try to move that arm, could it be because I moved something on his shoulder
Thinking of this, Li Xuancheng stood up, grinned, forced a smile, and drank this drink with Prime Minister Ke Zhi, his expression smelled like swallowing a mound of shit...

Under the light, Sister Sun picked up a piece of cloth, draped it obliquely on her body, twisted her waist and looked around, with a charming expression.
The light reflected on the kezhi cloth, shining brightly. The pearl piping, soft and thin material, royal blue background, lined with strange lace, gold patterns, auspicious flower and bird patterns, and some combinations of geometric figures, are indeed very different from Central Plains silk.
Sister Sun put on this royal blue kezhi cloth, which immediately set off a graceful and graceful temperament. Ye Xiaotian said: "Okay! Duo Ni, you must be very beautiful with this cloth. The silver white one Give it to Miss Ning'er, it matches her appearance."
"good!"
This was a gift from Brother Xiao Tian, and Sister Sun happily agreed, put away the two pieces of cloth, and walked out happily, just in time to meet Zhan Ning'er who came in with a plate. Sister Sun said: "Sister Ning'er, look, Brother Xiaotian gave it to us. The blue one is mine, and the white one is yours."
Zhan Ning'er glanced at the fabric, and said, "Well, take it back and put it away, I'll massage it for him."
"Why!"
Sister Sun agreed crisply, and ran back to her room holding the fabric. Zhan Ning'er put the tray on the table, seeing Ye Xiaotian was still sitting on the edge of the couch, she couldn't help giving him a blank look, and said, "Take off!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly: "Why are you so fierce? If I can move my arms, I still need you to massage them?"
Zhan Ning'er snorted, and muttered: "It's really useless, a big man, after being pinched, he became like this, his body is weaker than a woman's."
Zhan Ning'er was a little unhappy, but she didn't think Ye Xiaotian was useless, she was angry that Li Xuancheng was playing tricks on Ye Xiaotian and bullying her... Anyway, in her heart, she already regarded Ye Xiaotian as her man. Muttering, Zhan Ning'er walked to Ye Xiaotian's side, saw that he was still sitting there like an old man, and said angrily, "Stand up!"
"oh!"
Ye Xiaotian stood up, and Zhan Ning'er reached out to his waist and untied his belt.
The room was quiet, only a candle was flickering, a lonely man and a widow, and the woman was untying the man's belt. Although she was doing massage to heal his wounds, the atmosphere was still a little delicate. The two of them might have thought of something, Ye Xiaotian held back Holding her breath, her body remained motionless, and Zhan Ning'er just lowered her head to undress him, her fine and neat eyelashes blinking more and more frequently.
After a while, Ye Xiaotian's upper body clothes were taken off, and he only wore a pair of short-nosed trousers. Although Ye Xiaotian has never practiced martial arts, his body is still quite strong. Ye Xiaotian, who was naked to the waist, already had a bit of a masculine air, and Zhan Ning'er had already fallen in love with him, so her bright eyes were a little dazed.
"what's next?"
Ye Xiaotian asked dryly, which woke Zhan Ning'er up. Zhan Ning'er let out a light ah, her pretty face flushed, and she hurriedly said, "Sit down!"
Ye Xiaotian sat down as promised, Zhan Ning'er turned around and took out a medicine bottle from the tray, unplugged it, poured the orange-red medicine juice into the palm of her hand, and pressed her palm against Ye Xiaotian's shoulder, the two trembled almost at the same time For a moment, it was like getting an electric shock.
Few skilled martial arts practitioners don't know how to massage, Zhan Ning'er is especially good at this. When she was a child, she gave massage to her father and grandfather. Although she was not strong enough at the time, both father and grandfather enjoyed this kind of filial piety. It shows that she has practiced a set of skillful massage skills.
Ye Xiaotian was sprained by Li Xuancheng's strong fingers. He could only use this method to relax his tendons, activate his collaterals, and regulate his qi and blood. Under Ning'er's delicate massage, although Ye Xiaotian felt some pain, he could bear it. She goes to cast.
Ye Xiaotian silently watched Zhan Ninger's movements, especially when he turned to his front, he was sitting and Ninger was standing, the plump breasts were right in front of Ye Xiaotian's eyes, the slightly embarrassed Ye Xiaotian could only raise his eyes, but The nose is greasy with goose fat, the cheeks are condensed with fresh lychee, the lips are so attractive.
Ning'er, who was concentrating on massaging him, suddenly said angrily, "What are you looking at?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled dryly: "I... I think at first glance, you are quite domineering, but if you look closely, you are quite feminine."
Zhan Ning'er said angrily, "I'm a woman to begin with, what do you mean being a woman?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "It's a woman, it's charming, it's pretty."
Zhan Ning'er blurted out, "It looks good, don't you want it?"
As soon as the words came out, both of them stayed there.
