Chapter 372: Banquet
Grandma Yu also said beside her: "Yes, you are a big official. You can also look at us, this is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. ”
"What does the aunt say about being an official or not, let's not care about these, the aunt is an elder, and it is the aunt who cares about it, I am relieved to see that the two aunts are in good health."
Zhenguogong's parents died early, and he has instinctive respect for the elderly.
Grandma Yu also had herself in her heart when she heard his words, what a big official, she could still think of herself, which made her excited, and felt that she had not lived in vain in her life.
She also stepped forward and grabbed Zhenguogong's hand and said: "What kind of father, I don't know what to call you, and the officials of this court don't understand, I call you Qiaozhen her father-in-law, but in it?" ”
"Medium, medium. That's how it should be called. My aunt's name is all right. ”
Zhen Guogong is very approachable, and his speech is also rustic, which makes people feel kind.
"Qiaozhen her father-in-law, I heard that you have been fighting, and the war is very dangerous, but you are hurt? This won't be fought in the future, right? Don't you know, you are fighting, we are also worried and panicked, you say that the people who are fighting this war have children and old families, if they can't come back, how bad the people in his family are. But you are all good, and you are working hard in front of us, so that we can live a peaceful life. I have a good life, and I thank you so much. ”
Grandma Yu kept talking, expressing her feelings, and she held Zhen Guogong's hand and kept shaking.
"yes, but it's hurt? We are all looking forward to it all day long, this battle is over early, you can all come back early, and this family reunion is a good day. ”
Chen also asked, she took Zhen Guogong's hand with a slight force, her eyes were full of concern, they are elderly, and they all hope that their children and grandchildren are all safe and healthy.
"I'm not hurt, I'm fine. The two aunts are at ease, and they won't fight for a while. We can live a few years in peace. ”
Zhen Guogong took the hands of the two people and nodded in reassurance. He felt relieved to talk to the old man. Practical.
Mr. Wen watched quietly, and for a while he felt that his mood was agitated, it turned out that this ordinary life contained such concerns, which made him have a faint envy. It would be nice if he had his family......
It was lively here, and Qiaozhen was also welcomed to the back room, but there were not many people to talk to her, except for the first greeting, the ladies were busy with lunch in the stove house.
Because the Chen family did not greet the Wang family in advance before coming, the Wang family did not deliberately prepare any dishes. Now when I look at so many people, I am a little blind.
After catching the blind, he slowly calmed down, and Qiaozhen made them panic and arranged how to do it.
The people have a backbone. Just get busy, buy things, cook and cook, and keep busy.
There was a crackling, the fire house was fighting, and several people were busy with their feet not touching the ground, but no one wanted Qiaozhen to help.
It doesn't matter if Qiaozhen's cooking skills are good or bad. She had a big belly, but no one dared to call her.
Qiao Zhen could only watch at the door of the stove house for a while, and was told by Zhou, so he had no choice but to go back to the house and sit.
By noon, several tables had been seated, and the dishes on the tables were hot and cold. The combination of meat and vegetables looks pretty good.
In fact, regardless of the quality of the dish, it is mainly the people who sit together.
If you are satisfied, you will eat poorly, and your heart will be comfortable.
If you don't like it, you eat dragon meat, and you don't feel it.
The time for lunch is three. Chengzi, Shengzi and others also came back to accompany the seat.
They are the next generation of the Wang family, they are all students, and they should accompany them.
The meal was very lively and enjoyable.
After the meal, Mr. Wen took the examination of several people's articles, and after the exam, he nodded again and again to several people, and praised them very much, among which Chengzi and Wang Tao were the most optimistic about him.
Chengzi is not stage frightened, has generous manners, has a fast brain response, is aggressive, and has good learning. It's a person who can be successful.
Wang Tao is subtle but talented, and thoughtful, not to be underestimated, cultivate well, and become a character in the future.
Mr. Wen thinks that these young people in front of him, at worst, can get a show, maybe they can also raise people, Jinshi, this Wang family is really the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue, for the next generation also know how to cultivate, look at their studious energy, people expect, after a few decades, maybe the Wang family will be the family of scholars.
At the next day, everyone refused the request of the Wang family to stay for dinner and left, and the time to leave was agreed to be three days later the town Guogong would entertain guests in the house, and the time to pick up the Wang family and the people over, and the Wang family agreed.
Qiao Zhen also followed, and explained to Osmanthus when she left, saying that when she got married five days later, she would definitely come over.
When he returned to the house, Qiaozhen couldn't take a break, and began to arrange dinner again.
The dinner arrangement is relatively light, because I ate fish and meat at noon, and drank wine, and the porridge and side dishes are the best in the evening, which can relieve the stomach.
On the second day, when it was time for Qiaozhen to get up, Zhen Guogong had already gone out with Mr. Wen, and they went to Yun's house.
The Yun family is the Yue's family of the Duke of Zhenguo, and it is said that he should have visited yesterday, but because he went to the Wang family, he resigned for a day.
Maybe if he does this, many people in the Yun family will have opinions, and they feel that they don't pay attention to the Yun family, after all, the Yun family's status is much higher than that of the Wang family.
However, Zhen Guogong didn't care, and he didn't owe anything to the Yun family.
Over the years, he has been in the court, and the Yun family has not been less polished, with his identity, if the Yun family is not his Yue's family, he doesn't have to go at all, and even if the Yun family comes to the door, he may not see it.
The reason why he and the Yun family got into such a quarrel was also because someone in the Yun family had helped Mrs. Yun design at the beginning, which caused him to lose his wife, so the relationship was stiffened, and it has always been only superficially maintained, and the two supported each other, but it was better to be casual and close to the Wang family.
They are not in the house, Qiaozhen is also relaxed, there is no need to be busy arranging, she just needs to take care of herself.
The concierge sent in a lot of prayer posts, all of which were officials and prominent people in the town who wanted to visit the town and the prince.
These worship posts are all handled by Chen Xuanyu, and they discuss with the Zhenguo Gong at night, as for whether to see or not, it is up to them to decide, and there is no need to bother with it.
Zhenguo Gong was busy for two days, and on the morning of the third day, he ordered people to buy a lot of good ingredients and clean up the flower hall, because he was going to feast on the Wang family today.
In addition to the Wang family, he also invited Qiao'e's family, Qiao'e, her man and children came in a carriage, Qiao'e's in-laws did not come, only brought gifts, and asked them to say hello.
Qian Xuezhong of the Qian family led Qiaohong here, Father Qian and Mother Qian did not come to the door, but only prepared gifts.
Although Qian's mother wanted to come to the door to pull the relationship, Qian's father stopped her, thinking that it was better to let the young couple go, people could be more comfortable, and if they wanted to pull the relationship, they didn't have to rush for a while.
Zhen Guogong didn't invite others again, not because he felt that the Wang family couldn't take it and couldn't get on the stage, but because he couldn't bear the Wang family to see others restrained, and he couldn't bear to make them uncomfortable in front of others.
Today is a family banquet, the daughters of the Wang family are here, and their families eat together, chat, and drink happily, so that they are happy.
When the man drank the wine, he was less rusty, and Wang Changshun also called him a brother and brother with Zhen Guogong and Mr. Wen, and his voice was much higher.
Mr. Wen is less restrained, more heroic, and keeps drinking.
Chen Xuanyu led a few juniors to eat happily, although everyone drank with a red face and a thick neck, it would not make people feel bored.
The woman was talking and laughing.
Although it is said that the food in the Chen Mansion is more exquisite than that of the Wang family, there are more good things to eat now, and they are not so rare, mainly to sit together and talk comfortably.
After eating, the man's table was still drinking happily, and Qiao Zhen couldn't sit for a long time, so he led Chen, Zhou, her sister-in-law and others to her courtyard.
And they found a place to sit, some on chairs, some on stools, and some on beds.
A large number of people were about to fill the room, Qiaozhen ordered people to serve tea, and listening to the non-stop talking in the house, she felt comfortable in her heart, so that there was an atmosphere of liveliness.
Zhou Shi saw that everyone was talking lively, no one paid attention to herself, she sat on the side of the bed and held Qiaozhen's hand, and said softly: "Zhen'er, my mother told you quietly, don't shout, my mother asked you, who is that Mr. Wen?" He's not an official of the imperial court, right, won't it happen again? ”
Zhou asked her daughter in a low voice, what happened to Miss Ning last time made her feel uneasy. She was afraid to do it again.
"Mother, don't worry, Mr. Wen is my father's person, not an official of the imperial court, he is my father's military advisor, he is equal to the master of the official master, he is with our own family, rest assured, there will be no last time."
Qiaozhen was half-lying and patted her mother's hand to reassure her.
"That's okay, it's my own family, and my mother is at ease. Qiaozhen, it's not that my mother is troublesome, people like us are simple, they don't have any heart, and they are real to people, but those big families are much older, and they have hearts and eyes in their hearts, and if they are not careful, they can put you in it, and they will harm you, you don't know. So, girl, we don't hurt people, but we can't guard against people. ”
Zhou's heart was a little helpless, it was a beautiful time for his daughter to marry into a big family, but there were many more things. always makes her feel at ease, and this good life is not so easy.
Fortunately, this is in the town, if you live in the capital, you have to keep your eyes open when you sleep, otherwise you are afraid that you will be killed. She has no ability to be a mother, and she can't help her daughter, so she can only remind her.
Qiao Zhen looked at Zhou gratefully, knowing that her mother was worried about herself. Only when you are a mother can you know what it feels like, no matter how old the child is, you always have to worry about it. There's always a heart that can't be.
"Mother, I know, your peace of mind is, don't think about it, I won't let myself have anything."
"Well, my mother knows that you are a brain, and my mother is not worried about you. The mother is just saying, I'm afraid that you will suffer a loss, but if you suffer a loss, then the mother is even more vain. ”
Zhou said that she was not worried, but how could she really let go of it in her heart, she looked at Qiaozhen, and said: "This is about to be the day of Osmanthus getting married, can you go back the first night?" ”
ps:
Thank you for the peace charm sent by the drifting waves, and thank you for your support.
