The wheels of the car rippled, and the horses neighed. . 』.
On the avenue leading to the Jishan Academy, beautifully decorated carriages were moving in a line like a long dragon.
Chu Tian sat lazily on a small mound by the road, leaning his back against the old yellow wolf crawling on the ground. The doors of the cars on the road all had family emblems, with the surnames of each family carved in ancient seal script.
In just half an hour, the carriage of the Ling family of Chutianzhou came over, followed by the Qian family of Yizhou, the Zhang family of Yizhou, the Mu family of Yizhou, and the Tie family of Yizhou. All the famous families in Yizhou came.
The representatives of these big families all had rosy complexions and looked energetic, with an indescribable hope in their eyes.
In addition to the powerful families in Qizhou, Chu Tian also saw the governors and county magistrates of various prefectures and counties in Qizhou rushing in. Unlike the representatives of those big families, the expressions of these governors and county magistrates were much more complicated and heavy.
After a while, a large red flag fluttered over, and Sima Zhuifeng's carriage also passed by.
"Old Huang, come on, let's go! The fish at the Longmen Banquet is not tasty at all!" Chu Tian rubbed the old yellow wolf's neck hard and rode on it. The old yellow wolf let out a long howl and jumped up, running towards the Jishan Academy in small steps.
In front of the main gate of the Jishan Academy, a large group of academy disciples in white clothes as white as snow were smiling elegantly and politely, welcoming the guests who were attending the Longmen Banquet. One after another, distinguished guests walked out of the carriage and handed the invitations to the academy disciples in charge of welcoming them. Both sides greeted each other in a very elegant and refined manner, and the distinguished guests were welcomed into the academy.
Chu Tian rode the old yellow wolf to the gate of the academy, jumped off the wolf's back, took out the invitation and handed it to a disciple beside him.
"Chu Tian, the stall owner of the Baimang River Fish Market in Qizhou!" The academy disciple who received the invitation read out the contents of the invitation in astonishment. Tian looked extremely surprised, his expression quite confused.
This is Zhou Liuyun's disciple-recruiting ceremony, a major event in the Jishan Academy. The distinguished guests who are qualified to attend the Longmen Banquet, even those with the lowest status, are large landowners with tens of thousands of hectares of land at home, and they also have a large number of other industries. Their wealth has been passed down for more than three generations.
How could a mere stall owner of a Baimang River fish shop, the leader of a gang in the market, the most lowly person, possibly get an invitation?
"Brother, is it possible that my invitation is fake? If it is, I will leave!" Chu Tian grinned and turned away. He really didn't want to attend this Dragon Gate Banquet. He always felt that there would be a big mess this time.
He always felt that Zi Xiaosheng was just messing around, hoping that the world would be in chaos!
Zhou Liuyun was also crazy, he was actually persuaded by Zi Xiaosheng.
"Brother Chu... Big Brother Chu, please stay!" A disciple who was in charge of welcoming guests and standing in front of the academy gate heard what was said here. He hurriedly ran a few steps and stopped Chu Tian who was about to leave.
The Qishan Academy was such an elegant and romantic place, but the disciples of this academy could not bring themselves to call out the three words 'Chu Dangtou'. They habitually wanted to call Chu Tian 'Master Chu', but then he changed his mind and realized that Chu Tian was a shitty 'master'!
Other honorifics, such as "Master", "Mr.", "Senior", etc., are not worthy of Chu Tian, a fishmonger!
Simply, the academy disciple used an extremely Jianghu-like address: "Brother Chu, Brother Chu, you are the distinguished guest invited by Master Zhou himself, how can you leave? Please, please, please, come in, there is a good seat reserved for you inside!"
The disciples of the academy grabbed Chu Tian's sleeves diligently and dragged him into the academy gate.
The old yellow wolf wagged its tail and followed Chu Tian in a grand manner. Several academy disciples wanted to stop it, but the old yellow wolf bared its fangs and growled at them. The disciples were so scared that they quickly retreated and made way.
No one stopped him, and the old yellow wolf followed Chu Tian all the way into the academy, and walked along the central corridor to the Meixue Spiritual Building.
All the doors on the first floor of the Meixue Spirit Building were removed, except for the supporting pillars, and the entire first floor hall was integrated with the square outside. There were more than 300 tables in the hall on the first floor, and soft cushions were placed behind them for people to kneel and sit. The seats in this building were naturally prepared for those VIPs with the highest status.
Thousands of tables are neatly arranged in the square outside the building. Purple smoke is curling from the huge incense burners around the square. A warm fragrance permeates the air, which is strong but not suffocating. Instead, it makes people feel refreshed.
"Brother Chu, please, please, please. Master Zhou has specifically instructed that you come in and sit upstairs!" The academy disciple who led the way smiled brightly, but for Chu Tianlai, this fellow's bright smile hid extremely obvious surprise.
Yes, how could Chu Tian, a lowly fishmonger, be qualified to attend the Longmen Banquet?
Even if he entered the Longmen Banquet Hall through the back door, how could he be invited to sit in the Meixue Spiritual Building?
The only ones who are qualified to sit here are a few scholars from the Jishan Academy, the prefects of Jizhou, Minzhou and Mangzhou, and the representatives of the most powerful and wealthy families in the three states.
Chu Tian smiled implicitly, followed the academy disciple who led the way into the Meixue Spiritual Building without saying a word, and sat down leisurely behind a table on the west side.
This seat is very close to the front, almost one of the top 30 seats in the entire building.
Many people had already taken their seats before Chu Tian. When they suddenly saw Chu Tian, who was wearing shabby clothes and sitting closer to the front than themselves, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him.
Sima Zhuifeng had been sitting there quietly at Chu Tian's position. When he saw Chu Tian coming in, he was slightly stunned, then frowned and looked at him deeply: "Chu Tian, Chu Dangtou!"
Chu Tian turned around and bowed to Sima Zhuifeng in a dignified manner: "Your Excellency the Governor! This is a blessing for me to have the honor of seeing your true face."
Sima Zhuifeng stared at Chu Tian with deep eyes. In fact, he wanted to catch Chu Tian and torture him, asking him whether Li Qian, Zhao Kuo and others were really killed by him. But after thinking carefully for a while, Sima Zhuifeng looked Chu Tian up and down thoughtfully, turned his head and said nothing.
If it were any other common person, coming to the Meixue Spiritual Building of the Jishan Academy and meeting Sima Zhuifeng and so many prominent figures of Jizhou, he would have been frightened to the point of his legs going weak and even pissing himself to death.
Chu Tian was able to talk to him calmly and confidently, and his demeanor and bearing were neither humble nor arrogant, showing the demeanor of a noble man. How could he be like a fishmonger in the market?
Sima Zhuifeng suddenly thought of something, and he turned his head sharply to look at Chu Tianyan.
Chu Tian was still wearing the same shabby suit with a tattered coat on the outside.
However, Chu Tian's sitting posture, whether it was his feet, legs, waist, shoulders, and even the position of his hands, was rigorous and accurate, conforming to the kneeling posture prescribed by the etiquette of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Sima Zhuifeng's eyes flickered and he slowly turned his head. Even the cum swallowing actress failed! Ai Uehara challenges...!! WeChat public account: meinvgu123 (press and hold for three seconds to copy) You understand and I understand!
