The major general is at the top, the bamboo horse is at the bottom

The familiar smell of gasoline.

Sitting in the car, Wu Kan felt that he was almost suffocating.The narrow space was extremely dull, he felt a familiar dizziness, he couldn't help opening the car window, and the cold wind blew him away, he thought to himself why he had to suffer this kind of crime.

Before setting off, he suddenly felt nervous for some reason, as if he was going to a special appointment.He took a deep breath and told himself that it was just a banquet. Although he didn't like it, it was far from being nervous.But as if against him, the more he said this, the more nervous he became.

He is wearing a suit that he bought when he was studying abroad today, very formal.Before leaving, he even tidied his hair, and didn't go out until he confirmed that everything was correct.

The smell in the car was still so bad, he suddenly remembered the alcohol smell from Zhang Zhounan's body that he inadvertently smelled that night.He knew that he hated that smell, but at that moment he felt that he was not sure.His mind was swaying and he was addicted to it.

The Marshal's Mansion of Wu's family is not far away, so we arrived soon.After Wu Kan got off the car, he still waited for a long time on the side of the road before walking to the door.He has been here once, so he is still familiar with it.What surprised him was that the boy recognized him, and seemed to be the one who led him the way last time.He let him in without showing the invitation.

He looked around as he walked, and the time interval since his last visit was not very long, and generally speaking, there was not much change. Someone showed him the way and said that the place for the banquet was in a small white bungalow not far in front.He nodded, and walked over there by himself.

He had seen that small white bungalow the last time he came, and still had some impressions.As he walked this way, he felt that he was about to freeze.He didn't feel better until he walked into the hall of the small bungalow, and the warm wind swept over his body.

As soon as he entered, he began to look at everything inside calmly. This time, all the people invited were of the same generation. Everyone grew up in this circle, and most of them were familiar with them. Many of them were friends, so the atmosphere was not as good as before. dull.

——and most of them brought female companions.

Noticing this, Wu Kan frowned.So far, he has even seen several people who were obviously married but brought other people.He hated this kind of person very much, but he knew in his heart that this was not the time to explode, so he had no choice but to comfort himself that maybe he had studied abroad for the past two years, and he didn't even know that he married a concubine.

He had just found a corner to stay when he heard someone calling him: "Xiqing! I've been looking for you for a long time, and you are indeed here."

Wu Kan turned his head and saw that it was indeed Huang Yuancen. He sized up the visitor.Huang Yuancen also wore a neat dress, which was much more formal than the banquet at Lu Ke's family that day.

Seemingly seeing Wu Kan's doubts, Huang Yuancen said with a smile: "Today, my father gave me a hard time. I had a falling out with Huang Yuancen that day, and he said that I was forcing him to stand in line, and let me take advantage of it tonight. If there is an opportunity, please curry favor with Zhang Zhounan."

Wu Kan's news was blocked, and he didn't know that the two princes in Shenyang City had quarreled in the teahouse.So he just asked: "You guys had such a serious fight that day?"

Seeing his expression, Huang Yuancen knew that Wu Kan didn't know that there was an argument behind them. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a while whether to explain, and felt that what he did was forcing Wu Kan to stand in line. How is it different from someone like Lu Ke?So he didn't tell Wu Kan about it in the end.Just answered.

After Zhang Zhounan finished dealing with today's affairs, it was already dark.He habitually lit a cigarette, and finally relaxed after taking a puff.He asked his adjutant: "Is there anything else to do today?"

The adjutant has been waiting here for a long time, before Zhang Zhounan finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say: "Today is your banquet, it will start soon, young commander-in-chief, will you go directly?"

Zhang Zhounan was startled.

He has been so busy these days that he has already forgotten all these things, let alone his act on the spur of the moment.At this time, the adjutant reminded me of this.

He was in a daze for too long, so the adjutant asked again: "Are you going directly?" Apparently Zhang Zhounan's hesitation time made him think that he didn't want to go, so he persuaded, "After all, this is a banquet organized by you. It's not good to show up. If you're really tired, you can just say a few words and leave."

Zhang Zhounan came back to his senses, "There is no reason not to go. Let's go now...wait a while."

He crushed out the cigarette in his hand, and then continued, "I'll go back and change my clothes first. Is there enough time?"

The adjutant was stunned for a while, then immediately realized, "Enough."

Zhang Zhounan got up, his body in military uniform was as tall and straight as a tree.He strode out the door, his steps slightly chaotic.The adjutant vaguely felt that he knew something, but he could only secretly hide it in his heart.He lowered his head and followed silently.

Zhang Zhounan's delay in arriving made everyone's atmosphere even more restless.As time slowly passed, some people began to be dissatisfied, and Lu Ke was the first to express dissatisfaction, "It's not appropriate for the host to keep us waiting for so long, is it?"

The conflict between his father and Zhang Zhounan has become more and more serious recently, and the discord has been tacitly understood by everyone.At this time, when he said this sentence, everyone was not surprised.

On the contrary, Huang Yuancen sneered after hearing this. He was chatting with Wu Kan, and he couldn't bear to hear Lu Ke pretending over there, and said in a low voice: "I used to think he was very confident. If his father is here, he can still Challenge me, who is he?"

Wu Kan frowned, and was just about to ask Huang Yuancen to keep his voice down, there are too many people here.Then I heard a burst of laughter from the right.

Both of them took advantage of the opportunity to look over. The person who came was wearing a good dress, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it wasn't some high-end fabric. Wu Kan and Huang Yuancen glanced at each other, and they probably knew that the status of this person's family was probably not very good, he might be a rookie .

But this man was very handsome, with regular facial features and smiling eyes, which made people feel very comfortable.

As soon as he came over, he first introduced himself: "Tang Muyun. His name is Ziqing. He is from Suzhou. He is in business. He just came to Shenyang this year."

Huang Yuancen didn't like the person who interrupted them very much. He just wanted to pull Wu Kan to ignore him, but he found that Wu Kan had already greeted him with his usual smile: "Wu Kan, he studied abroad and just returned this year."

So Huang Yuancen could only reluctantly say: "Huang Yuancen, a native of Shenyang."
