At the end of the Shen period, luxury carriages came in one after another outside the courtyard, and those who got off the carriages were all businessmen or Wuzhong gentry in Chinese costumes, all of whom came to the dinner.

Chen Xu also placed a group of wives and concubines and daughters and then went downstairs to the hotel lobby to greet the guests who came to the banquet, none of these guests came empty-handed, and the entourage of the servants behind carried down the gifts in large boxes and small bags, although Chen Xu continued to refuse, but these guests each said that it was a meeting gift to several concubines and several ladies and sons of the Hou Mansion, and soon the lobby of the hotel was piled up and could not be settled.

In fact, dozens of chefs and cooks in Wuhu Park are busy all afternoon, all kinds of Zhenze specialty fish, shrimp, crabs and turtles and Jiangnan special vegetables and wild game mountain goods, and Wuzhong is close to the sea, so there are sea cucumbers and abalone and other seafood, anyway, the ingredients are dazzling, and the fragrance of various styles of dishes such as frying, cooking, steaming, stewing and marinade permeates the entire Wuhu Garden.

The sun sets, and the autumn breeze is cool.

The autumn colors of the south of the Yangtze River are blue and blue.

With the arrival of more and more guests, the four shareholders of Wuhu Park introduced all the guests who greeted them one by one, among which there were those who did not know each other and could only report their homes, and when the county guard Jiang Pu and the county lieutenant came with a group of officials from Huiji County, the entire Wuhu Park was already full of people, and hundreds of gorgeously dressed men or old or young were all around Chen Xu to chat freely, and the situation was relaxed and pleasant.

"Master Hou forgives the sin, the next official is too late!" Jiang Heng and a group of officials such as the county lieutenant and the county Cheng changed into civilian clothes at this time and walked into the crowd together to salute Chen Xu.

"Jiang Jun is exempt from courtesy, everyone is exempt from courtesy, and official business is important, why are you late?" While Chen Xu smiled and returned the salute, his eyes fell on Jiang Heng's family members.

"Master Hou, this is the Neiko Ping clan, this is the youngest son Chu Feng......"

Jiang Heng introduced a woman and a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old who was following him.

"The woman visits the Marquis of Qinghe!" Ping stepped forward to salute Chen Xufu.

"No need to be polite, come on, please ask the county guard's wife to go to the backyard to talk to a few concubines, so that you can entertain~" Chen Xu smiled and nodded, and ordered a maid to take the Ping family away.

"Jiang Chufeng has seen Qinghe Hou!" Jiang Chufeng is tall and strong, with a majestic appearance, somewhat similar to Jiang Heng, and he can vaguely see a trace of Jiang Chuxing and even Jiang Chuyue's style, and his movements are clean and unpretentious.

"Haha, Brother Chu Feng is exempt, I have heard Brother Chu Xing talk about you, it is fate to be able to meet today, this time I will trouble Brother Chu Feng!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Chu Feng is only afraid that his ability will be low and ruin Lord Hou's big thing!"

"It's okay, we'll talk about this later, you ......" Chen Xu said hello and looked up at the crowd around him and said loudly, "Ben Hou hurried to Wuzhong, but he didn't want Wuzhong's friends to be so hospitable, today I borrowed the Five Lakes Park to have a good drink with you, please go upstairs!" ”

"Master Hou, please~" Everyone gave up together.

A group of people surrounded Chen Xu upstairs, and the private rooms on the second and third floors of the entire restaurant had already been prepared, at this time, the wine and food were sent to the table like flowing water, and after a bustling arrangement, all the guests were seated in each private room according to different identities and groups, and Chen Xu and Jiang Heng and other groups of the most noble identities were naturally arranged in the largest private room on the third floor.

Taking a seat, looking at the table full of dazzling dishes and a group of officials and gentry present, Chen Xu sighed a lot, and said with emotion after the room slowly quieted down: "Five years ago, Ben Hou first came to Wuzhong, and he fought with Xiaobawang here......

"What Hou Ye said is that five years ago, you came under the pseudonym Xu Gongzi and had a wine fight with Xiaobawang, so far it has been a good story in Jiangdong, and it is auspicious in Zhenze, and it has made Gusu famous all over the world, and now we are gathered again, and we are still like a dream......"

The people at the table were also very emotional, Qu Hai stood up with a wine glass, and said respectfully to Chen Xu: "Hou Ye has worked hard to inspect the world, and this time he has come to Wuzhong again, so that the people of Wuzhong and our businessmen and gentry are happy, everyone toasts together, and I wish Hou Ye all good health and good luck for a long time."

"I wish Lord Hou all the best and good luck and a long time~" Everyone stood up and raised their glasses with both hands.

"Thank you, drink together, please~"

"Please~"

Everyone raised their glasses left and right, and then drank them all over their faces.

"Haha, good wine~"

"At present, everyone is happy to drink, today's wine is enough, no drunk will not return~"

"Naturally, there is no need for Qu Gong to say more, I will definitely accompany Hou Ye to have fun today!"

"Hey, don't be reckless, you don't know if Hou Ye is known as a thousand cups and is not drunk, remember the little overlord who was rampant in Wuzhong, there was Xiang in front of him, and he was also easily put down under the dining table by Hou Ye, and he was lying at your feet at the beginning, if you want Hou Ye to have fun today, I'm afraid we all have to lie down......"

"Hahahaha, what if you lie down, you can get drunk with Master Hou, this life is enough!"

"Not bad, yes, you guys raise your glass again and wash the dust for the Hou Ye!"

"Okay, Master Hou, please~"

"Everyone, please~"

After three consecutive wines, the atmosphere on the wine table soon became relaxed and warm, the chopsticks rose and fell, talking loudly, a group of people seemed to have no barriers in an instant, and Chen Xu did not have the majesty of the high and powerful position of the left minister and Taishi of Daqin, and a group of people kept raising their glasses and did not refuse, after three or five rounds of wine, their faces were still light and light, and some people on the left and right had begun to blush.

The wine table has always been the most pleasant place for men to communicate.

Of course, the most talked about are the changes in Wuzhong and the southeastern counties and the movements of the imperial court in recent years, especially the smooth road plan that shook the world.

At the request of a group of people, Chen Xu ate and drank and carefully explained the plan of the smooth road, and when Chen Xu was telling, countless businessmen and gentry who came from other private rooms to toast stood at the door with wine glasses or listened through the window in the corridor outside the private room, for fear of missing a word.

"Smooth road plan, related to the next 50 years or even a hundred years of long-term prosperity and long-term peace and stability of Daqin, once the country's great rivers and Chidao hub intersection linked, then the entire Chinese territory will constitute a smooth logistics transportation network, and the most important node of this plan, almost all rely on the southeast coastal seaport as a transit, so the port wharf and large merchant ships are the focus of future development, and the southeast counties, is the future of China's economic development take-off a hot land, Wuzhong is strategically located, If Xianyang is the political center of our Great Qin, then in the future, Wuzhong will become the economic center of our Great Qin, and will surely become a place where businessmen from all over the world gather......"

"In the next ten or twenty years, you will witness that there is no exaggeration in Benhou's statement, you are all famous people in Wuzhong, do your best for the prosperity and development of Wuzhong, seek well-being for the people of Huiji, and do your best for the economic take-off and overseas development of Daqin, this is Benhou's greatest expectation for you......"

"You may already know that there is not only Great Qin in the world, there are still Western countries outside the Western Regions, there are Kangju Dawan, there are Great Xia body poison, and the extreme west has rest Greece, Rome and Egypt, and beyond the East China Sea, there is Yingzhou, outside the South China Sea, there are countless island countries, the vast 100,000 li sea and sky depths, and Dongsheng Shenzhou, tens of thousands of miles around the South China Sea by boat, can still reach the Western countries...... In this vast world, so peaceful and prosperous, how can we be confined to just Wuzhong......"

Chen Xu stood up and picked up his wine glass.

"The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, we are the sons and daughters of China, for the descendants of Yan and Huang, when we abandon the past and work together, the unprecedented prosperity of my China is close at hand, you are all witnesses of this great change in the world, as long as you work hard, the future history books may still be able to leave your and other strong names, thousands of years later, people will mention, only to know that our ancestors did not disgrace them...... Everyone, raise a glass and drink together, for the Great Qin, for the world, and for our birth in this unprecedented world of change~"

"Congratulations for the Great Qin, congratulations for the common people of the world......"

Hundreds of people inside and outside the box raised their glasses and roared almost at the same time, one by one the businessmen who were usually low-key and cautious, one by one the officials who were sitting in danger, and all the gentry who were courteous and polite, under Chen Xu's bewitchment like a pyramid scheme, all of them were boiling and their souls roared.

The sunset is red, the clear sky is slowly dark, at the beginning of the lanterns, a large number of people who learned that the Marquis of Qinghe came to Wuzhong to stay in the Wuhu Garden are gathered outside the Wuhu Garden, bathed in the autumn evening breeze, and heard that a neat roar suddenly came from the attic on the roof of the brightly lit restaurant, like a heart booster, which instantly made the whole Wuzhong follow the noise and liveliness.

"Haha, it's refreshing, drinking with Hou Ye is refreshing!" Cao Yuan, the lieutenant of Huiji County, blushed, pinched his wine glass and laughed.

"Naturally, being able to drink with Lord Hou must be the most refreshing thing in the world!" Someone immediately chimed in.

"There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence, so Ben Hou and you are confidants!" Chen Xu smiled and nodded.

"A good wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, when the Hou Ye and the little overlord were not in harmony, he was naturally drunk after a few glasses!" Outside the window, I listened to the lively guests, including a middle-aged Confucian in a wide-sleeved robe, speaking loudly.
