77. Family feast

I only heard about one "Wu Dalang" from my mother and Wan'er, but the next day of Lichun, there were more than ten people who came. Among these more than ten people, except for Wu Minzhi, all of them are either wearing green or green, and there is not even a light scarlet uniform. Wu Minzhi was wearing a purple robe, and he specially wore a goldfish bag, which didn't look like he was coming to participate in the "family banquet", but like the Yuan Dynasty Dynasty, in short, it was strange.

Contrary to the shabby attire of these people are mothers and fathers. Although they did not wear court clothes, they both wore formal ceremonial robes, crowned robes and hairpins, showing a majestic heavenly atmosphere. Even Li Sheng wore a full set of crown clothes and sat beside his parents. Li Rui, under the name of "Dun relatives and filial piety", came to the palace early in the morning, first listened to me (with his companions) have a few classes, and then asked me (with his companions) to go to the courtyard to bow, sweating profusely, and had to bathe in my place, change into his old clothes in the palace, and then hurried with me, and when he came, he couldn't stop discussing with me whether he could meet a certain slender cousin - although his grandmother was old and graceful, and his mother was beautiful, and I had "a little bit to see" , Therefore, the daughter of the foreign family must be good, and when she came, she was really full of hope, who knew that when she arrived here, the fair lady was not seen, but Tian Shehan, who came from afar, saw a bunch of them, and her face was really wonderful. I was a little embarrassed because my parents and brothers were dressed solemnly, but I was only wearing Yanju clothes, and I blamed my mother's maids for refusing to ventilate with me in advance, and in a blink of an eye, I thought that Xu was my mother's intention, so I cheered up again, and stepped forward to Li Rui to walk and salute, and did not make a big salute, only bowed slightly, although Li Rui may not understand, but also followed me to smile and bow to my parents.

When my mother saw us, a smile broke out on her face, and she stretched out her arms and said, "Pheasant slave, son, come to A-Niang." On the contrary, my father looked at us weakly and scolded: "My cousins are here, why are you still dressed like this?" ”

My father coughed more and more, while coughing, beckoning to us, Li Rui and I both took a few steps forward, my father glared at Li Rui, pointed to Li Sheng's side, he had to retreat and sit under Li Sheng. I ran to my mother, she took me in her arms and rubbed it, I have recently become a little impatient with such intimacy, twisted back, but was caught by my mother, she looked at me meaningfully, patted me on the shoulder, made me turn around, faced the banquet, and put her arms around my neck, bowed her head and combed my hair, and said with a smile: "This is your cousin, fiefdom Changle, little name." ”

More than ten people leaned over to salute me, some called "cousin", some called "princess", some called "princess Changle", the accents were mixed, like the dialect of merging and handing, and some seemed to have a bit of Fujian and Zhejiang accents, I have always been taught by my mother, and I did not dare to be too arrogant, busy to return the gift, but my mother hugged me and did not let me move, and when everyone finished saluting, Fang Youyou said: "Pheasant slave, son, I have seen Dalang, heir." ”

Then I saw the eldest of them stand up and salute me tremblingly. He doesn't look like his mother at all, his face is dark, his stature is short, compared to the handsome Wu Minzhi, he is really a heaven and an underground, and the honest attitude when answering is completely different from the children of the family who are in Beijing with a degree of advance and retreat, and the personable family, the only thing that is desirable is about the official language that is still considered to be a good word, but compared with those of us who have been in Beijing for a long time, this can only be regarded as "not a shortcoming" at most.

Mother obviously didn't have a good impression of this person, and when he finished speaking, I replied "Da Lang", and then pointed to someone and said, "Erlang, think twice". This Wu Sansi is quite a famous figure, and when he looks closely, he finds that he is still much better than Wu Chenghe, tall, fair-skinned, and generally leisurely when answering, with a bit of literati posture, but he is still much inferior to Wu Minzhi.

Mother's attitude towards this Wu Sansi was slightly better, and she told him to step forward and say a few words before ordering him to step back. In addition to these two people, everyone else is sung by the female official to praise the name of the official number, and then meet us one by one, I heard that the position is not "Sima", or "don't drive", at most there is a "long history", the place is not Haozhou, or Zhenzhou, and then Long, Liu, there is really no good, the heart is speechless, the face is still decent to them, one by one smiled and replied, the mother signaled to eat.

My father has always been not luxurious, so my mother also advocates frugality, ordinary family banquets, but more than ten snacks, twenty or thirty dishes, and some persuasion, soup, and drinks. Today is an anomaly, when I came, I saw more than 20 plates of fruit in front of everyone, and when my mother showed it, I put on 32 plates of dim sum, all of which were carefully cooked with rare materials, and were skillfully cooked.

The fruit on the side has been placed until now, and no one has dared to use it first, but now that the snack is served, my father smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, just use it at will." As he spoke, he first picked up a piece of Jusheng slave, and the people under him came to life, and they didn't dare to use their hands like their fathers, so they raised the chopsticks one after another, and some people sandwiched several pieces of dim sum in a row, and the corners of their mouths were crumbs, some were not used to using ivory chopsticks, and some were holding dim sum in one hand and a half, and holding the chopsticks in their mouths with one hand, only Wu Chenghe, Wu Sansi and the other three or four people still had some manners, and Wu Minzhi didn't even look at these dim sums.

Li Rui looked at these relatives who had never met in a daze, turned sideways and wanted to say something to Li Sheng, but his mother saw it and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it openly, don't pull and pull with your brother." ”

Li Rui was also shrewd, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see such cousins, and I want to invite Erlang to dance for my grandmother to help the wine." ”

Li Sheng glanced at him, straightened his clothes, and said uprightly: "The child wishes to dance "Lanling King" for His Majesty's birthday." ”

The father smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you two brothers." ”

Li Sheng got up, and Li Rui entered the side hall together, and then led a team of dancers out of the stream, originally "Lanling King" main dance only one person, purple clothes, waist gold, whip and dance, this time when he came out, but saw a tall and a short two are purple clothes and gold belts, Li Sheng held the whip, Li Rui held the sword, both of them wore half of the face of the golden mask, came forward, Li Rui walked in all directions like Haiyou, holding the sword as a salute, standing in the middle of the parents, strange voice: " Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, is also, soft and strong, beautiful in voice and appearance, now the state is in danger, leading five hundred horsemen to resist his Yuwen Zhou room, to get here, but I don't know where the village Han came from, dare to take the name of my Gao Changgong, look at me with a sword!"

Li Rui took advantage of the situation to clench his fists and half-knelt down and said: "I was actually recognized by the king! I surrendered to defeat!" winked at Li Sheng, turned his head and smiled at us, ran out, and sat down.

My father and Li Sheng couldn't cry or laugh, my mother's face was gloomy, and her hand pressed my shoulder hard, and I hurriedly said: "Liulang is done dancing, Brother can't play tricks, dance quickly." ”

Li Shengfang put on a mask again and danced with a whip. Because it was a temporary intention, it didn't see how good, but my father laughed, and at the end of the song, he ordered someone to give wine, and said to his mother: "Qi Niang, Sheng'er is really filial." ”

The mother picked up the cup noncommittally and raised it to Li Sheng, who hurriedly served the cup with both hands and drank it all.

When Li Sheng sat down, Wu Minzhi actually straightened up, and said with a smile: "My nephew is also willing to dance for my aunt's birthday." ”

I turned my head to look at the people in the Wu family, only to see that Wu Sansi's face was about to move, but his throat moved, and he didn't say anything, Wu Chenghei didn't even have the color of being ready to move, just looked at Li Rui and smirked, my father and mother showed some smiles on their faces, my mother's hand left my shoulder, as if to speak, I hurriedly turned over and hugged her, and said coquettishly: "Aya A-Niang, my son is also willing to live for my grandmother." ”

Without waiting for their permission, he got up first, ran to the musician and said, "Play "Xiliang". ”

The father laughed and said: "Son, "Xiliang" is a dance. ”

Wu Minzhi smiled and said, "My nephew is willing to dance with my cousin." ”

I didn't look at him, and said to my father: "Wei Huan is the best at dancing in my palace, and I am willing to dance with her to offer my grandmother's birthday." ”
