The banquet of the Ma family in the General Mansion of the Pillar State is not the same as what Qin Hanzhen is used to.

Maybe it's because the Ma family is a family of military generals, and most of the people they interact with are military generals. In addition, General Ma Lao's usual style of behavior is very lonely, and he is far from being able to travel widely in the capital. Therefore, almost all of the people who were invited to congratulate him on his old man's birthday today were military generals, at least those like the Yongjiahou Mansion, where most of the children of the family served in the army, or the families of their fathers and ancestors who were quite prestigious in the army. Innocent relatives and civil officials will not appear at General Ma's birthday banquet.

The banquet is still divided into two fields, inside and outside, the outfield is dedicated to entertaining male guests, the dishes on the banquet are all big fish and meat, and the dishes on are all good wine and spirits, the guests came, the old general's family entertained them, and they would never invite people to eat vegetables, but ate meat and drank wine in large bowls, as if they did not pour people to death, that is, the old Ma family was not hospitable enough. Yongjia Hou Qin Bai still greeted the Ma family in advance, and only then did he escape the difficulty. The military generals on the side knew that he was the uncle of the Holy Lady Zhenglong, and he was also gentle, so he didn't embarrass him.

The men's guests also invited the troupe to sing on stage, and the singing was very different from the repertoire sung at the ordinary birthday banquet. Usually on this kind of festive occasion, the people who set up the banquet love to ask people to sing some reunions, successes, and lively plays, which are auspicious, but the Ma family is different, and his family only sings martial arts. Strictly speaking, it is only a martial arts.

Before the banquet began, the martial artists on the stage had already been played, including "Three Forks" and "Haunting Heavenly Palace", and the rest of the scenes such as "Changban Slope", "One Arrow Revenge", "Zhu Xianzhen" and other plays, there was no shortage of pomp, black crows and crows on the stage, and cheers and cheers under the stage. When a general or an adult was happy to see it, he called "reward", and someone sprinkled the golden brand-new copper coins prepared in advance on the stage. The actors happily accepted the award, and the audience was also happy to let people see how heroic and generous they were. As for whether anyone can't see him so proudly and wants to compare with him to reward money, that's another matter.

It is said that when singing "Haunting Heavenly Palace", the martial artist who played the Monkey King hit one hundred and eight heels in one go, and he saw more than a dozen old and young generals cheering continuously, and the new copper coins sprinkled on the stage were about to fill the entire stage. In order to make room for the next actors on stage, the troupe also sent two people to dispatch a big broom and a bamboo dustpan to sweep the reward money clean.

There is no martial arts drama to watch on the other side of the women's banquet, and you can hear a sound through a wall, but what is the use of just listening to a sound like martial arts? Therefore, most people will not pay attention to it. At the birthday banquet, they also eat meat and drink wine in large bowls. The female dependents of the military generals, generally do not have so many twists and turns, people who get along well have to talk and laugh, and if they don't get along, they don't care about you, if there is a contradiction, they can quarrel directly on another occasion, or even fight, but today they want to give face to the master's family, and they will fight each other for a few rounds. The old ladies drink and do not lose to the men. Drinking determines wins and losses, and if anyone pays the bill, it's the puppy!

This kind of straightforward temper is quite in the heart of the Niu family. Although she didn't have many familiar friends at the banquet, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Min family were busy talking to the daughters of the Ma family, so they didn't care much about her, but she could talk to the other ladies at the banquet. She appreciated this straightforward way of talking, and because her two sons were both military officers, and she had lived in the northwest border city for decades, she could talk to other Jiangmen women. She can basically understand the topics that others say, and she can interject a few sentences, and no one will feel that her words are out of place. If it weren't for her poor health and the fact that she hadn't learned to dance knives and guns, she would really be regarded as her own by these generals and wives.

As for the wrong people such as Mrs. Zhenxihou at the table, she didn't see it at all. Anyway, people don't want to pay attention to her, what does she have to talk about with that kind of person who doesn't know how to be polite?

And Qin Hanzhen's feelings are a little different from his grandfather and grandmother. The daughters of the military generals, although most of them love to dance with knives and guns, they are not without Svenwen, and there are also talented girls who are familiar with poetry and books. Qin Hanzhen has learned some of both civil and military arts, but in terms of martial arts and archery, it can only be said that he has learned, and it is far from being excellent. She doesn't socialize much on weekdays, and although she knows the girls of the Ma family and the Min family, she can't interject when they talk about going hunting in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing in the first winter. The other group of girls didn't talk about hunting, but they made a fist and made a drinking order, Qin Hanzhen was also a little embarrassed, and there was really no way to get a foot in it. Although she knows a little about alcohol orders, she really can't do it with punching, let alone drinking with others......

Fortunately, the girl of the Ma family still remembers to greet her from time to time, so that she will not be left out in the cold, and Cai Yuanzhen takes care of her.

Cai Yuanzhen's family is also a guest today. Her father is the Marquis of Yunyang, who holds the power of the city guard army in his hands, and when he was young, he spent a few years under the command of today's birthday star General Ma, and later took charge of it alone, and he still respects General Ma, and the relationship between the two families is very good.

Cai Yuanzhen is in the circle of ladies in the capital, and has always been a civil and military boudo, Wen Neng, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and book allusions, Wu Neng riding horses, hunting, drinking, gambling, and all circles can mix well. Qin Hanzhen still has the invitation she ordered someone to send to her home, and she was invited to the Cai family's "Qi Garden" to participate in the spring tea party, and several ladies and daughters made an appointment to compose poems when the time came. But today Cai Yuanzhen arrived at Ma's house, and she didn't mention any poems, a few Ma girls and Min girls quarreled about archery, and she could also shoot a round, and the results were quite good.

Qin Hanzhen can only shoot five arrows out of ten arrows, and he can hit the few achievements above the eighth ring, and he is really embarrassed to stand with others.

Cai Yuanzhen didn't laugh at her, and gently pulled her back to the table and sat down, asking her how she practiced riding and archery on weekdays, which was better than Qin Jinhua. Qin Jinhua doesn't like to move, it's okay to ride a horse, but it's really not good to shoot arrows. She also said to Qin Hanzhen: "My sister doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and we don't know what pastimes you like." I knew that your archery skills were much stronger than Qin's second sister, and last autumn, when we went to play in Xishan Zhuangzi, we called you. At that time, we were hunting in the valley behind Zhuangzi, and everyone had a harvest, but the second sister of Duqin didn't catch anything, and she was so angry that she cried. Later, it was your brother who helped her hunt a rabbit and made her smile again. ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help laughing: "Last autumn, I guess I haven't returned to the capital yet, even if Sister Cai invites me, I won't be able to go." My hand archery skills, that is, compared with my second sister, are really difficult to get into the hall of elegance. Sister Cai, don't praise me, you don't have to make me blush. I spend a lot of time at my desk on weekdays, and I do neglect physical exercise. When the weather warms up, I'll ask someone to set up a target in my yard, and then find someone to make a proper bow, and I'll practice it for a little while every day, and in a few years I may be able to make a real difference. ”

Cai Yuanzhen said with a smile: "My sister is too humble, but practicing riding and archery more is really good for the body." Then he asked, "Did my sister go to Lingnan last year? I heard that she came back to the capital by sea? I really envy you, I have been to all over the world, but I have never been to Lingnan, and I have never seen the sea." My brother is stationed in Fujian, in Quanzhouwei, by the sea. He wrote home and told me what the sea was like, and I couldn't imagine it. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "Tianjin is by the sea." If Sister Cai wants to know when she will go to Tianjin to have a look, she will know that it is not far from the capital. Last year, I took a sea boat to the north, and it was at the shore of Tianjin Port. ”

The two of them were talking happily, but Cai Yuanzhen has always been popular, how could others allow her to be lazy? A general's daughter lost to a girl from the Min family in archery, and she was a little unwilling, and she was connecting with others to have another group confrontation. Cai Yuanzhen is also a good hand in archery, so naturally they can't leave her behind. As for parallel goods like Qin Hanzhen, it is better to sit on the sidelines and watch honestly.

Cai Yuanzhen couldn't put it off, so she had to smile apologetically at Qin Hanzhen, and asked the others to pull it away. Qin Hanzhen smiled and watched a group of little girls chattering and discussing the rules of the group competition seriously, and felt that youth was really a beautiful thing.

The little girls were lively compared to archery, Qin Hanzhen sat on the table for a while, ate some food, drank two sips of hot tea, and felt that he needed to go to the changing place to solve his physiological problems, so he got up and went to find the little girl to lead the way.

The changing place prepared by the Ma family for the birthday banquet guests is not far from the banquet, and it is not connected to the outer courtyard, but it can effectively isolate the occasional encounters between male and female guests who are commonly used in romance. And the Ma family has no garden, only a school field, and the banquet venue is not far from the inner house, and you can almost see the heavy yard when you look up, and naturally there will be no such thing as a daughter being led to a secluded place to ask someone to calculate. It was precisely because the road was so easy to recognize that Qin Hanzhen didn't let the little girl stay and wait for him, and sent the person away. Anyway, if she solves the physiological problem and turns around, there will be no possibility of getting lost.

The bursts of music on the stage in the outer courtyard are the best guidance. The women's seats in the inner courtyard and the stage are just a wall apart, but the direction will not be wrong.

However, when Qin Hanzhen came out of the changing place, washed his hands, and was about to slowly pace back to the seat, he found that he was still tricked. She didn't meet a male guest, she wasn't calculated, but she didn't die bumping into other sisters whispering, but she walked slowly, and the soles of her boots were soft, so that the two girls on the corner heard her footsteps and noticed her movements.

She hesitated for a moment, and was thinking about whether it was time to put down the footsteps, when she heard one of the two girls say to the other in a somewhat hurried tone: "My sister is in the alley, what man did she meet? Now I am a guest at Ma's house, and when I return home, I am afraid that my grandmother will have a seizure. For the sake of her sister's marriage, my grandmother blamed my mother for making her own decisions, and now if my sister makes another mistake, my grandmother will only blame my mother. Sister, I'll have to figure out how to answer!"

Qin Hanzhen blinked and gently lowered his feet.

The girl who met the man in the alley? Could it be Miss Su? This is the two granddaughters of Zhenxihou talking? 2k reading web
