Chapter 1: The Banquet

Carved beams and painted columns, beautiful women like clouds.

The table is full of sumptuous dishes, chicken, duck, fish, seafood, game, everything.

Gan, who was sitting next to Lu Ning, had a beautiful face that was radiant, and his happy heart was about to melt.

Lu Ning is feasting on the whole family of the Gan family, and this is the Beiyuan Guanglu room of the "Juxian Pavilion".

The so-called Juxian Pavilion is the original old mansion of Liufu, which has been fully covered, and Nanyuan, that is, the original outer house, has become a guild hall like a courtyard from the auction preparatory meeting, and there are several guild halls that are prepared for doormen, of course, to this day, there is no qualified doorman in Donghai Gong.

The North Garden, which is the original part of the inner house, has now become a place for the guests of the East China Sea Guild to deal with some non-government affairs, and there is also a dining room for the East China Sea banquet guests such as Guanglu Fang.

Lu Ning has been back for a few days, and she has had some joys and sorrows when she sees her mother and second sister, and in the past few days, Lu Ning has been feasting on guests.

At noon, the whole family of the Gan family, and in the evening, they will entertain the eldest sister and brother-in-law Li Feng who came from afar, plus the second sister and second brother-in-law Xu Wendi, and have a reunion dinner for the same generation.

Tomorrow, I will have a banquet with You Wuniang and You Saburo in this Guanglu room, although You Wuniang is a relative of You Laosan in the East China Sea, but in terms of etiquette, he can't favor one over the other.

In fact, according to Lu Ning's meaning, the whole family sat down together for a reunion dinner.

However, nothing can be done.

Let's just say that now, the men of the Gan family, sitting at the same table with the Gan family is already very gracious, if there is You Wuniang who is sitting, then it will definitely not work, for other male relatives, You Laosan will not dare to sit at the same table with the Gan family, the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law, that is, the Gan family and You Wuniang can not see.

When I went to Shuyang for the first time to see my eldest brother-in-law, I struggled to speak, and the eldest brother-in-law, as the head of the family, had no way to excuse himself, and once sat at a table with himself and Gan's, but he also sat at the far back, and the rest were all female relatives to accompany Gan's.

At that time, Gan's was not his serious concubine, at most he was a concubine.

And now, it is very different, Gan and You Wuniang, not only have the identity of a wife, but also have been sealed with seven orders, where can they sit at the same table with other men to eat?

Not to mention, it is himself, and he is not the original lord of a small county, but he has a noble title, but now he is the local commander of the military town, which is completely different from the past.

Lu Ning has been so busy these days that his feet don't touch the ground, and he is helpless, like the eldest brother-in-law, he believed that he was going to return to the north early, so he and his eldest sister came to the East China Sea and waited, but he came back for a few days, but he didn't have time to meet him at all.

Until today, I reluctantly arranged the dinner time for the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law, "the nobles are busy", which is really not an excuse.

He is so lazy, but now that Haizhou and Chuzhou have newly established military towns, there are also a lot of things, and there are too many things to plan, even if most of the things are handed over to the deputy envoy Yang Zhao, but he is still busy going out early and returning late, of course, this is also, because he has just returned to the East China Sea, and there are many state affairs in the East China Sea, and he has to inspect it.

"First, madam, when the grass people were in Jinling, they heard a lot about the prestige of the first, and today they were summoned by the first, how fortunate is it!" The man who spoke was a man with a square head and big ears and three strands of long hair who had passed the age of not being confused, he was Gan's eldest brother Gan Dalang, who looked like Gan but did not resemble Gan, not like Gan Erlang, a beautiful man with a good demeanor.

Lu Ning smiled: "Big brother is serious!" ”

During the Chinese New Year this year, Gan Dalang, who was a businessman in the Eastern Capital, and Gan Saburo, who helped his brother, rushed back with their families.

Mrs. Gan has six sons and one daughter in her life, and Gan is the youngest daughter, but the old lady has three sons who have not lived to adulthood, and now the three sons are all at the wine table.

The wives of Da Lang, Erlang, and San Lang are not qualified to sit at this wine table, and they have their own private visits to Gan and Gan's conversations.

Mrs. Gan looked at Lu Ning's eyes, not as she did when she looked at her uncle, but there was an indescribable meaning in it, including gratitude, awe, and intimacy.

Sitting and sitting, she suddenly wiped away tears.

Gan Erlang said strangely: "Mother is drunk? Among the three brothers of the Gan family, he was the only one, in front of Lu Ning, who was so frightened that he didn't know what to do before his mother cried.

In fact, today's banquet, eating wine and cloth dishes, all follow Lu Ning's eyes, Lu Ning does not serve a wine glass, no one will serve a wine glass, and respect the wine of the Duke and Mrs. (sister) of Donghai? That doesn't exist, the identity disparity is huge, and even the qualifications for active toasting are not.

"No, I'm happy......" Old Madam Gan wiped her tears, saw Lu Ning's gaze, and hurriedly got up, "Lord, the old slave is formless, the lord is not strange......"

Lu Ning also got up busily, "Old man, please take a seat." "The maidservants on both sides are busy supporting Mrs. Gan.

Seeing her mother's emotion, Gan's eyes were also red, and she knew why her mother was crying.

The Gan family knows better.

No one in the Gan family expected that Gui'er would go around and around, and in the end, it would be Mrs. Xuan's life.

Moreover, when he was just seventeen years old, he had already sealed the county prince of the founding country, and even led a military town, like a child of the royal family, and at the same age, there was no such glory as the Duke of the East China Sea.

I didn't expect that the lord of the country was actually a genius in the sky, and how long would it take to go to the extreme south? Thunderbolt to capture the rebellious vassal king, although I don't understand military affairs, but I want to know that this should be a terrible great achievement.

Looking at the lord of the country, I am afraid that in the future, he will definitely be crowned king and worship the prime minister.

This daughter (younger sister) of my own family is rising with the tide, where can I measure it in the future?

If you can give birth to a boy and a girl for the lord of the country, it will be truly perfect.

Gan Dalang and Gan Saburo had already returned to Yangzhou at this time in the past and had been waiting in the East China Sea, just for this time the whole family was summoned to be honored and favored.

When they really saw the lord of the country, the two of them knew that Erlang was right, the lord of the country was young and handsome, graceful and graceful, and he was so high-powered, not to mention the grace of his sister, with the status of his sister who had been demoted to slavery, he could make the royal lady of the decree, and it can be seen that the Duke of Donghai is high in the temple, and how full of saints; Second, it can also be seen that the Duke of Donghai loves his sister.

I don't know that my sister is a blessing from several lifetimes, and I have no regrets in this life!

……

The wine banquet was over, and Lu Ning and Gan took a break in the warm pavilion of the North Garden of the Juxian Pavilion.

Gan's heart is still immersed in the excitement of being glorified in front of her family, as a woman, what could be more satisfying than now?

The delicate little face of happiness is as charming as a flower at the moment, helping Lu Ning remove the crown and boots.

Lu Ning drank a few more glasses, and he was slightly drunk, also because he was a little tired psychologically from dealing with various political affairs in the past few days.

When he reacted, Gan was kneeling in front of the soft couch and helping him remove his brocade socks, and when the Qianqianyu hand painted with bright red Kodan caught Lu Ning's bare feet, Lu Ning was excited.

Hurriedly sat up, "This, this doesn't need you to do ......"

Lu Ning rarely sweats, and he has a fresh breath on his body, but Rao is like this, the official boots are stuffy all morning, psychologically, he still feels that he has been caught by the beautiful woman in front of him, and he is a little blasphemous.

Breaking out his feet, he said, "If you miss your mother, you can go to Ganjia Village to live for a while, or you can bring your parents to live in the house for a long time." ”

Gan shook his head slightly, the lord is generous, and he doesn't care much about etiquette, but because of this, he has to be more cautious, isn't he?

"Lord, the slave will help you pinch the bones of your feet, during this time, the lord's rare diligence is tired, right?"

"Pinch the foot bones", from the barbarian art of relieving fatigue, there is a row of wind maids who are very good at pinching the foot bones, the lord once tried it, and praised it very much.

After that, You Wu'er seemed to be very kind to that wind maid, that ghost mind, who doesn't know what to do?

Gan also secretly learned.

Pinching the foot bones? Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Forget it, how much strength do you have?" Can you help me with my fatigue? Besides, there are people who are busier than me every day in their lives, and I have only been busy for a few days, and in your opinion, it is like the sky is falling, how do I think, this is not to praise me, but to ridicule me......"

"Huh? Nu Zhen is not ridiculing the lord...... "Gan was stunned, just now he was sincere, now thinking about it, he can't help but laugh in his heart, he really regards the lord's laziness as a very normal thing, the lord is a little more diligent, but he is a little uncomfortable, afraid that he will be unhappy, afraid that he will be irritable."

"I know, you're not You Wu'er, it's not like she often has a wrong mouth!" Lu Ning smiled: "You can also sit down and rest for a while, the banquet, but it's the most tiring, isn't it?" By the way, ask the knife maid to help you pinch the foot bones! ”

shouted outside: "Come two, help me and Mrs. Gan loosen our feet!" ”

Someone outside responded crisply, and after a while, two small and delicate barbarian girls each walked in with a basin of hot water.

Following the four wind-draining maids around the big and small peach, Lu Ning gave another name, and the two big peaches are called big knife maids, and the two with little peaches are called small knife maids, originally, this method of pinching foot bones is one of the small knife maids proficient, but now, the big and small four knife maids, including the big and small peaches, have learned to loosen the foot bones, but the big and small peaches, Lu Ning has always treated them as sisters, and he is reluctant to let them do this.

Seeing that the lord was real, Gan shook his head again and again, tears were about to come out, and he was touched by others, although the other party was a woman and a maidservant, it was absolutely unacceptable.

Lu Ning was helpless and waved his hand, "Come, help me pinch it, one left and one right, it's more comfortable." ”

Gan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also curious, observing how the two swords and maids loosened their bones.
