By this time it was already noon.

On the autumn festival of August, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the baptism here in Gujia Village is finally over, and the next time is when the main family entertains guests.

One is called hospitality.

Second, it is said to return the gift.

The matter of hospitality is relatively easy to handle, after all, this matter has been prepared for a long time, and the key is the return gift after the reception, which is the real headache for Gu Tianya and his family.

Fortunately, there is no hurry to return the gift for the time being, and you can take advantage of the time to entertain the guests to prepare urgently, otherwise, you will really lose the adult.

……

"Gu's baby is full moon, thank you for all the guests, some people have traveled thousands of miles, with a sense of affection, the wind and dust have come to send a strong blessing...... Although my Gu clan is shabby, how can I treat my guests harshly? ”

"I would like to ask you to move a little and go to the Gujiacun Post Station to attend the banquet. The Gu family is poor, the clear soup is scarce, please don't dislike it, the people take food as the sky. ”

It's a crisp invitation, and the speaker is a six-year-old baby.

Although the child is young, no one present underestimates him, but many noble ladies are full of envy, and they have told their children, and solemnly said: "My son, have you seen it, that doll is Lu Zhaolin, born in Fanyang Lu, his father betrayed the family, the family has always treated traitors more ruthlessly than the enemy, it is said that the life of this little baby should be extremely miserable, but he became Gu Tianya's apprentice, just because he worshiped the master, he immediately had a backer......

"Think about how arrogant the Fan Yang Lu clan used to be, it can almost be said that it is the existence of the North River Governor, but just two months ago, the Fan Yang Lu clan suddenly encountered horse thieves, and the family members of several hundred people, and died in Huangquan overnight, everyone knows the origin of which horse thieves, but no one has ever shouted for the Lu family."

"My son, do you know what this means? Mother tells you that this is the role of the backer. After Lu Zhaolin apprenticed to Gu Tianya, his master was ruthless in order to protect his apprentice, even in the face of the thousand-year-old inheritance of the gate valve, he dared to raise the butcher's knife and kill it all overnight. This is the backer, this is the master. So even if this Lu Zhaolin is just a little baby, you must not underestimate my son. If you have the opportunity, you must be eager to make friends. ”

"Do you remember what my mother said?"

These are the words of countless noble ladies whispering to their children.

……

But after Lu Zhaolin sent out the invitation, his crisp voice paused slightly, and suddenly stretched out a hand, made a gesture of leading the way, and said politely: "Everyone, please go to the banquet." ”

After speaking, he took the initiative to move forward, obviously responsible for guiding the guests.

The full moon baptism of the tiger baby was attended by more than 120 guests. Almost every family has female dependents, and there are also sons and daughters-in-law, so the number of guests is as high as more than 400 guests, and it is obviously impossible for so many people to entertain in the small courtyard.

Fortunately, the post station in Gujia Village is the most special one, and it was planned to be a super-large level when it was first built. There is not only a post station, but also an inn, which is a huge courtyard in front of the inn, which is very suitable for setting up tables and chairs for large banquets.

More than 400 guests, at least 50 tables, this is only the guests of the Tiance Mansion, you must know that this tiger baby baptism is not only officials.

In the whole world, there are twelve gates to congratulate, but the Taoist priests pay attention to inaction and are not too embarrassed to make a big move, so they only come to the heads and elders of each family, that is, the group of old Taoist priests who are looking forward to cultivating immortals and ascending every day.

Although only the head and elder level came, the sum of the twelve Taoist mountain gates was not a small number, there were more than forty people, and five tables had to be arranged.

Then, there is the Saga.

The guests of the family came late, not as early as the Tiance Mansion family, and the family basically went their own way, and did not leave until the day of baptism was approaching.

This may seem like a lack of care, but everyone can see that it is not.

If you look closely, you will find that the guests are all shrewd and capable, and all of them are elegant people, many of whom are elites of the younger generation.

The entire Central Plains claims to have 500 families, and there are as many as 100 visitors this time, not that other families are unwilling to come, but the road is too far.

However, the families intermarry with each other, and many families are related, so the identity of these family guests is more interesting, and many people come to congratulate on behalf of several families.

Even gift-giving is to give double, triple, or even quadruple copies.

For more than 100 family guests, 20 tables of banquets had to be arranged.

Carefully calculated, the scale is really scary, a full moon baptism of the tiger baby, actually put down nearly eighty tables, you must know that this is not a flowing water seat, can not let the guests eat and go, but eighty tables together to open the table, the scene is very grandiose.

This kind of thing is a test of the host's hospitality.

Fortunately, China has had a tradition of helping people since ancient times.

But if anyone has a red or white thing, the people in the village will definitely help, if it is a more generous person, there will even be surrounding villages to help.

Ordinary homes are still like this, not to mention Gu Tianya, who brings benefits to the people.

This time the full moon baptism of the tiger baby, almost all the villages in the surrounding thirty miles were dispatched, this is the result of Gu Tianya's continuous obstruction, otherwise it is likely that the people of the entire Miyun County will participate, even the entire Danzhou, and even the entire Hebei Province.

Since ancient times, the hearts of the people have always been the most simple, and whoever is good to them, they want to repay whom.

……

In the courtyard before the inn, eighty tables had been set up at this time.

The six-year-old baby Lu Zhaolin was in charge of leading the way, and came slowly with a huge team of guests, and then saw that there were four other little guys, who were already standing at the gate of the courtyard to greet them, and it was Cheng Chumo and others who ran over in advance.

The four little guys, as disciples of the Gu family, have too many things to do today, and they have just taken off the task of singing the gift list, and they have turned into the little children who know the guests of the banquet.

"Please!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

One by one, one by one, hundreds of guests, under the arrangement of the four little guys, sat down in an orderly manner.

At this time, some guests were shocked to find that there was already a little boy waiting next to each banquet table, all of them were wearing Taoist costumes, and the spirit of the boy was very full.

It's just that this is not an insult to the Daomen, but it is extremely enviable.

For example, Duan Zhixuan's wife was eager, and couldn't help but lower her voice and sigh at her child, and said: "My son, have you seen it, although your father has some friendship with Gu Tianya, but that friendship has not yet reached the level of a good family, otherwise, you are also qualified to be a waiter today." ”

Duan Zhixuan's sister-in-law is already twelve years old, and when he heard this, he puffed up his chest like a little adult, and said crisply: "Mother don't envy others, and watch the child fight for you, I heard that Mr. Gu likes to be a studious son the most, and the child must be a hard-working person, maybe it won't take too long for the child to become a disciple of the Gu family, even if it can't reach the true inheritance of Cheng Chumo and them, but I am very confident in being an elite disciple in the sect." ”

Duan Zhixuan's wife was very pleased, but she still couldn't hide her envy when she looked at the group of Daomen children.

Mrs. Duan Zhixuan's envy is obviously just a microcosm of the guests and friends.

At this time, the guests who came to congratulate had all taken their seats, and saw a girl walk into the courtyard, and laughed crisply: "My family Gu, thank you again, please wait a little, don't dislike the Han family's hospitality soup and water." ”

Being able to say this before the banquet means that this is the identity of the person who hosts the banquet, and the guests present look at each other and see the surprise in each other's eyes.

It's just because this girl's identity is a little special.

She is neither Zhaoning's maid Xiaoqing Xiaorou, nor the sister of Gu Tianya's generation, but the fourth disciple of Gu Tianya, and the woman named Tan Xiao.

It's worth savoring.

You must know that since ancient times, there have been many solemn rules for banquet hospitality, such as the children who welcome guests must choose the children and nephews of the main family, and the grandchildren can also be, but they must not be equals.

Only the guests who preside over the banquet must be the generation of the host's family, which symbolizes the importance of the person who comes to congratulate, and it is very rude to choose a junior.

However, Tan Xiao's identity is Gu Tianya's apprentice, and according to the situation that he belongs to the generation of children and nephews, if this matter is strictly calculated, it is really an extremely rude move.

But everyone knows that Gu Tianya does things well, and it is impossible to make mistakes in this kind of thing, and Princess Pingyang is from a royal family, so it is impossible to ignore such a big thing.

So!

Why Tan Xiao?

is neither Xiaoqing Xiaorou, who has followed the princess since childhood, nor Ma Sanbao, who is the first retainer of the Gu family, but a disciple of Gu Tianya, and a low-ranking disciple.

"It seems that I will have to treat this Miss Tan Xiao differently in the future......"

There are no mediocre people who can come to congratulate the tiger baby, almost everyone is the upper class of this era, and some things only need to be thought about a little, and they will soon understand the truth.

Gu's banquet, Tan Xiao came forward, this is the posture of being in charge of the chores in the family, obviously this Tan Xiao girl has obtained the permission of the main wife, since ancient times, the wife has been in charge of the family house, and the power is no different from the husband, and even to some extent, the head of the family is not as powerful as the main wife.

If it weren't for the nod of his wife, Princess Pingyang, this Tan Xiao girl would never have been able to preside over the banquet.

She is clearly the person approved by Princess Pingyang.

In the future, she will assist Princess Pingyang, the wife of the Gu family, and be in charge of all the household chores of the entire Gu family.

……

The guests secretly paid attention to it, but their faces remained beaming with joy, and it was at this time that the banquet finally began to be served.

But seeing at the gate of the compound, Cheng Chumo and the others appeared again, these four disciples had just taken off their identity as guests, and they suddenly turned into the leader of the team serving dishes.

However, it was not just the four of them who led the team.

……

…… The first update, followed by the second shift
