Chapter 161: The Night Banquet of the City Lord's Mansion
Tianyuan City City Lord's Mansion
At this time, it was already unitary time, and the night of winter fell early, and lanterns had already been lit in various parts of the castle lord's mansion, and the lights in the mansion were bright.
Mrs. Yuwen listened to Abbot Mingjue talk about Buddhism in Faguang Temple for a long time, and it was not until Shen Shizhong that she returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Afraid that Mrs. Yuwen would be hungry, Yuwen Shoucheng hurriedly ordered his subordinates to put dinner on the table, so that Mrs. Yuwen could eat dinner and then go to rest.
After quickly having dinner and sending Mrs. Yuwen back to rest, Yuwenhong and Yuwenqing came to Yuwen's study to discuss things.
"Father, today I escorted my mother to Faguang Temple to worship the Buddha and participate in the Buddhist ceremony, but I happened to meet Murong Bai, the lord of the underworld, and Chen Lianyue, the third lady of the Chen family, who also went to the temple to play, in the temple."
reported the matter to Yuwen Shoucheng in detail, and Yuwenhong was a little puzzled.
According to his mother, Murong Bai personally admitted that Chen Lianyue's son, Chen Tianmeng, was his child. But there is no news on the rivers and lakes that Murong Bai has already married, and this Chen Lianyue is only Murong Bai's fiancée, this matter is really a bit confusing. ”
"Hey, what's this, maybe this third lady of the Chen family is Murong Bai's old friend, but she has never met in private. Now that this Murong Bai has killed three fiancées, the old domain master has no choice but to admit Chen Lianyue's identity, and he can also recognize a grandson, he is sure to make a profit! ”
Yu Wenqing, who was sitting on the chair on the side, listened to Yu Wenhong's narration, and immediately clapped his palms and said.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful for a while, and your father will punish you when he gets angry."
Turned his head and glared at Yu Wenqing with his eyes. Yu Wenhong lowered his voice to warn him.
"Forget it, I feel that what Qing'er said is not completely impossible, maybe the most unlikely thing is the truth."
Raised his hand and waved to stop Yuwen Hong's preaching to Yu Wenqing, Yuwen Shoucheng touched his beard and agreed with the second son's idea.
"Although this Chen Lianyue is still Murong Bai's fiancée in name, since the two of them even have children, and they have passed the bright side of Murong Bo City, then she is the domain lord's wife of the underworld."
"That's it, it's almost time for the annual night banquet in the City Lord's Mansion, this time you give Murong Bai an invitation and invite him to bring his wife and son to the night banquet. Oh. That's right. At the same time, let's also give the next invitation to the Fuwei Dart Bureau, we can't favor one over the other. ”
Touching his beard and thinking about it, Yuwen Shoucheng commanded Yuwen Hong.
"Yes, father. The child will have the invitation to the night banquet sent to the Fuwei Dart Bureau tomorrow. ”
Nodding. Yu Wenhong said he understood.
This city lord's mansion has a night banquet. In Tianyuan City, it is a traditional gathering that has been passed down for many years, and only those who have a certain level of property or status can receive an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion. In SkySource City. At the end of the year, I received an invitation to the night banquet from the City Lord's Mansion, which was definitely a symbol of honor.
The night banquet of the City Lord's Mansion is usually held on December 20, which is also a day for the City Lord to gather with the people in the city and reward the officials, families, merchants, and even ordinary people who have contributed to Tianyuan City during the year.
The night banquet will not only invite officials and wealthy businessmen, but also representatives of the people with prestige to attend, which can be regarded as a gathering of officials and people. It is only at this annual night banquet that people will sit together to drink, talk and laugh without setting up a shelf, regardless of their status.
Therefore, December 20 every year is not only the day that officials and wealthy businessmen are worried about, but also the day that ordinary people yearn for the most.

I got up early in the morning and had breakfast, and there was nothing to do about the New Year, so Chen Lianyue and Yang Qianqian and others sat in the small flower hall eating melon seeds and preserved fruits, drinking good tea, and talking with Yang Li.
There are two braziers set off in the small flower hall, and there is a ground dragon under the thick wool blanket around it, and the buttocks are warm when sitting on it, and Chen Lianyue is too lazy to move when she sits on it.
Finding that it was so warm here, Chen Lianyue, whose brain was spinning quickly, asked the pillar to move Chen Tianmeng's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and put a small table directly on the woolen blanket, and practiced big characters here.
"Mother, this earth dragon is really good, so warm, I must install this earth dragon in my room next year."
Lying on the wool blanket and rolling, Yang Qianqian sighed comfortably.
"Sit down, where is there still a daughter's house, carefully let the family laugh."
Reaching out and pinching Yang Qianqian's ears, Yang Li looked at Liu's mother on the side and smiled embarrassedly.
"This dragon is a unique thing in the north, last year a friend of the old man came back from the north to talk about this thing, the old man was curious and asked people to make one in this flower hall. It was still early summer, and the weather was hot, so I didn't need it at all, and I forgot about it for a long time.
This is still when I saw the carpet here during dinner today, and then I remembered this matter, so I quickly asked my subordinates to light the earth dragon to try whether it was good or not, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good. ”
"It's really good, but it's much warmer than just burning a carbon basin."
Nodding approvingly, Mother Liu touched the warm heat under her body, with a curious face.
Mother Liu, like Yang Li, is a standard southerner, so she has never seen a earth dragon, and this is the first time she knows that there is such a thing as a earth dragon for heating.
"The earth dragon is indeed very good, but the weather in our south is warm, and the cold days are relatively short, so this earth dragon can be used for fewer days in a year, and it is more suitable in the north."
Helping Yang Li and Liu's mother fill up the hot tea, Chen Lianyue said.
This earth dragon is actually similar to the kang in the north in the previous life, but it is more simple, for Chen Lianyue, who lived in the north when he was a child and grew up sleeping on the kang of the earth, it is really not a novelty.
"It doesn't matter how long it can be used, it's good if it doesn't get cold anyway, and I must install it in the house next year."
Sitting up and leaning on Fluttershy's body, Yang Qianqian took a sip of hot tea and said with a flushed face.
"Okay, when the weather gets warmer, let's build earth dragons in all the rooms, then this carbon basin doesn't need to be burned, and the smoke will be choked."
The warmth that Yang Li felt all over his body was also very satisfied with the effect of this earth dragon.
Watching Chen Tianmeng write big characters, listening to Yang Li and Liu's mother chatting, and then looking at Yang Qianqian and Fluttershy, who were sitting together and didn't know what they were talking about, Chen Lianyue felt that this little day was quite good.
Of course, a certain golden object sitting under the low table on the side, occupying a place on the woolen blanket, and still eating was directly ignored by Chen Lianyue. (To be continued.) )
