Chapter 42: The Beginning of the Birthday Feast

As noon approached, many guests who came to celebrate their birthdays flocked to the house, so that the Li Mansion was busy. Receiving gifts in front of people, welcoming guests to the table, carefully counting gifts, and eating back and forth during the banquet. Fortunately, the servants of the Li Mansion are all dedicated and hardworking. After a while, there has never been any mistakes and fallen into the mouth.

Today is different from the past, in the past, Mrs. Li was ill and could not get out of bed. And Master Li's birthday is a day of great joy, how can people linger on the sickbed. So I got up early in the morning, and my spirit seemed much better than the previous day. When the girls saw it, they first congratulated them, and then said hello. Mrs. Li was generous, and after hearing those words, she called the steward and asked him to reward everyone in the house. Then he declared: Today is the birthday of the old man, and there is no room for mistakes. If you do it well, you will have your own reward.

The girls listened. Knowing that the old lady cherished the minions, they all shouted: Yes, madam. Before and after the saddle, it is no problem.

In Xifeng, Li He's name is known to everyone. After all, Li He is the richest man in the country, and naturally has a set of ways of doing business. The shops opened are all over Xifeng, connected to the hilly country, and many border places have his Li family's shops. It's like a towering tree, covering the whole land. Wherever there are teahouses and wine shops, there are rumors, and there are all kinds of false rumors. This year, in addition to the fact that King Qi is about to ascend to the throne, it is worth word of mouth, it is the fact that the Li family has changed their family.

After tea and dinner, after drinking and eating, they gather in a pile and talk about the current tense. One person spat out the smell of wine, squeezed his eyebrows in front of the person and said: It is said that Li He, the head of the Li Mansion, will hold a banquet on the same day, which is his fiftieth birthday. His family is the richest man, and no one knows who knows. It is a great joy, which is so foolish as ordinary people to pass away. After saying that, it was another hard pour. When the others saw it, they only thought about the aftermath, but they didn't know that this person was halfway through the words, so they went to take care of themselves. Then they dispersed again.

Another person talked at the side table: Although the Li family is a wealthy family, Li He is also proficient in business, starting from scratch and supporting such a big family business. The only regret is that it took half a lifetime to have a son, named Aoki. Since childhood, due to his frailty and illness, he followed a tour of Fang Taoist priests to go around to practice. I didn't come back until this year. The man stopped at this point. It provoked others to shout: "What's going on next?

The man likes to play tricks and arouses people's appetites. Seeing that everyone was violent, Fang said: That Li Qingmu was pampered when he was a child, and he was sick all his life, thinking that he was afraid that he would not live long. Who wants to go with that Taoist priest for a few years and come back, but he has grown into a handsome young man, a first-class romantic character. If you want to ask him how romantic he is, first of all, do you know how much His Royal Highness King Qi looks like?

When everyone heard this, they remembered King Qi's bearing and demeanor in their hearts. I only heard one person shouting: Could it be that Li Qingmu is not as good as His Royal Highness the King of Qi?

The man glanced at the squint, and said with an unfathomable smile: "It's not just comparable, if it's really talked, maybe it's going to be better." Everyone was frightened for a moment. Although that man is a man, he likes that romantic and talented man, and in his opinion, a person with a sense of detachment like Li Qingmu is exactly what he wants, even if he compares with anyone, he can't compare. Even so, although Li Qingmu's posture is not as good as King Qi's, it will not be one point less. In front of people, they are each with their own eyes, a few fairies, and a certain number in their hearts.

Another person squeezed over to the side, approached everyone, and said loudly: Then Li Qingmu is not only suave and suave, but also fascinated those young ladies. Since he came back, Li He, the master of the Li family, has handed over all the business affairs to him, and now the treasure of the world is his Li Qingmu's. If anyone's daughter marries him, then he will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!

At this point, everyone no longer asked, they all gathered together in twos and threes, you and I said a word, talking and laughing about the previous topic. I have beautiful relatives and daughters in my family, so I moved my mind, and only asked what kind of woman the young master of the Li family liked, and after inquiring, I could go back and think about the future. There are also widows and ladies who heard about such a handsome little student, and they were naturally moved, thinking that one day they would meet themselves, and then there would be such a romantic affair, it would be better. Of course, there are also those who do not do their jobs properly, and there are elderly and children at home to support them, and they are so depressed that they drink for a while. I like to listen to his gossip the most, and now I heard that words, and when I saw that other person was that look, I thought about my own depressed situation, and my family was in trouble, and I was even more depressed, so I only called my guy to pour a full wine, drank it all, and drank it until I vomited, and my liver and intestines were broken. And that person is also a miserable life, and he relieves his worries with wine, but he does it for a person who thinks he is pitiful, and this is the only place, why is it strange that his life is miserable?

The words of the wine shop are inevitably exaggerated. But it is not absurd, it is more or less a true thing, that Li Mansion has always been wealthy, and no matter how exaggerated it is, most of it is true. And so today the crowd of people came to watch. Needless to say, widows and ladies must look at the merry and talented ones; And the people who are greedy for wealth and nobility also bring their relatives and daughters here, just so that the noble son is lucky enough to see each other, if it is a good thing to see each other, it is a good thing that pie in the sky falls; There is no shortage of vulgar and general, just to have a lively life, and then see if the wealthy Li family has to send others to eat wine and food, so that they can enjoy themselves and live a gangster life.

When the hour came, the guests were almost all there, but they were just some rich and noble people. The Li Mansion is not stingy, not to mention that today is the birthday of the master, and the steward has already chosen a spacious place at the back door of the mansion to put ten tables of wine and food, and invite those people to eat and drink. In the main hall of the house, there are more than a dozen tables of delicacies from the mountains and seas. That's a fifty or sixty table of wine.

Li He, as the birthday star, is naturally located on the first seat in the main hall, and the people at the same table with him are either rich and noble, or high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are also good friends with each other on weekdays. And the biggest figure is Qi Wang Yuxuan. Master Li was flattered, and wanted to give up the main seat, but was blocked by King Qi, and said: The birthday star should be in the first seat, how can anyone who comes to celebrate his birthday be in the first place. With that, he sat down next to him. Seeing this, Li He had no choice but to sit down without disobeying his order. When the time came, Li He raised his glass and drank a full drink, and laughed loudly: Li Thank you for your hard work to come to celebrate your birthday! Then hold the glass in the palm of your hand and raise your hand forward to thank you. When everyone saw this, they all raised their glasses and drank together. At this point, the banquet is officially opened. Naturally, the birthday star does not have to toast and thank you one by one. As a junior, Aoki's birthday invitation was also sent in the name of Li Aoki. So today, not only is Li He's birthday, but also when Li Aoki officially became a family member and announced to the world, those rich and noble eunuchs were invited to come and drank the wine that Aoki personally toasted, even if they knew each other. In this way, a lot of trouble is saved. It's a joy for all.
