Chapter 20: The Banquet

On the day of the banquet for the guests, as soon as the sky was bright, Gao Jing hurriedly got up to wash up and dress up. Since today is a banquet for Gao Jing and the three of them, a few days ago, Aunt Gao instructed the embroidery room to tailor them to make sure they are dressed up handsome and extraordinary. Gao Jing really doesn't understand, it's not a blind date, what are you doing dressed up so handsome!

Seeing that the guests were about to come, Grandpa Gao hurriedly instructed Uncle Gao and Father Gao to take Gao Jing and their brothers to the door to greet the guests, and Grandpa Gao and Uncle Gao entertained the guests in the banquet hall.

Gao Jing and they didn't have long to get to the door, and the squires came one after another, and every time a guest came, Gao's father introduced the identity of the guest to Gao Jing in detail, so that they could understand the key people in the county. When the squire came about the same time, the officials of the county government also came intermittently. When Father Gao was leading Gao Jing and them to recognize people, Master Xie and Lord Bo came together. Father Gao hurriedly confessed to the guests, and took Gao Jing and them to greet Master Xie and said, "Why did Master Xie and Lord Bo come together?" ”

"Don't mention it, my carriage had a problem walking on the road, and I happened to see Brother Xie passing by, so I rubbed his car over!" Lord Bo explained.

Gao Jing and the others hurriedly came over to salute and said, "I've seen the master, I've seen Lord Bo!" ”

"These are the three young masters of your mansion? What a young talent, enviable! Lord Bo said greedily.

"What do you envy? Don't you have a young talent in your family? Father Gao quipped.

"But there is only one in my family, but there are three in yours!" Lord Bo said depressedly.

At this time, Master Dian Shi came over and said angrily: "There is still one in your family, but there is no one in my family, your grandson is still unbalanced in his heart when he is admitted to Xiucai at such a young age, what should you do if we are all wiped out?" ”

"Your grandson is still young, and he hasn't passed the next exam this year!" Lord Bo comforted.

"It's quite young, only 20 years old this year, 5 years older than your grandson!" Master Dianshi said depressedly.

At this time, Lord Bo didn't know how to answer.

Father Gao hurriedly rescued the scene and said: "Master Dianshi, Master Xie has been appointed as a teacher, you can send your grandson to the county school, with Master Xie teaching, I believe your grandson will definitely be able to pass the next college exam!" ”

"I'm sure I'll be able to pass this, but as long as I enter the county school, I will try my best to teach!" Xie Fuzi assured.

"I'm relieved to have your words, and I'll send him to the county school when I go back." Master Dianshi said happily.

"What are you talking about at the door? It's almost time to start! The prefectural commander walked to the side and said.

Father Gao hurriedly apologized: "My lord, when did you come, the lower officials were really cloudy, and they didn't even notice you!" ”

"You're talking too much. Okay, let's go in, today is a good day for the county to love his grandson, don't miss the auspicious time for him to open the banquet! After the prefectural commander finished speaking, he led everyone in.

When the county magistrate led the officials of the county government to take a seat at the main table of the banquet, Grandpa Gao stood up and spoke: "Thank you for coming to the celebration banquet I held for my grandson, today is a good day for them, but they can be admitted to the show at such a young age, in addition to their own hard work, it is Xie Fuzi's indispensability, Lang'er, Yu'er, Jing'er, the three of you come over to bow to Xie Fuzi and thank the teacher!" ”

"No need, Jing'er, they have already thanked the teacher, no need to thank you again!" Xie Fuzi hurriedly stopped.

"That's not good, Shi's grace will be thanked once!" Grandpa Gao retorted.

Gao Jing and the three of them hurriedly walked up to Xie Fuzi and bowed, "Thank you Master for your kindness in solving your doubts!" ”

"Okay, let's get up!" Xie Fuzi said with concern: "Don't thank you in the future, thank you for the teacher-student relationship!" Hurry back to your seat! ”

"Yes, Master!" Gao Jing and the three of them went back to their seats.

Grandpa Gao saw that Gao Jing was over and continued to thank him again: "Thank you again for coming to the banquet and opening the banquet!" After speaking, Grandpa Gao led Gao Jing and them to the main table to toast the county magistrate. When toasting, Grandpa Gao saw that the county magistrate glanced at him, and hurriedly ordered: "Yang'er, you lead Lang'er and them to the table to toast, look at it and don't let them get drunk!" Uncle Gao nodded and led Gao Jing and them to the other tables.

Grandpa Gao saw that everyone was pushing the cup and changing the lamp, so he quietly went to the study with the county magistrate.

"I don't know if the county commander has a peace order today?" Grandpa Gao asked directly.

"I'm here today to tell you good news, brother might as well guess!" The county ordered the lord to sell the official road.

"Where did the lower officials guess, the adults still told me directly!" Grandpa Gao pleaded.

"It's about your future!" The prefectural magistrate reminded.

"Could it be that the county magistrate is going back to Beijing?" Grandpa Gao said uncertainly.

"Not bad" The county magistrate replied: "I have received a letter from the Ministry of Officials, ordering me to go back to Beijing to take up a post in the Ministry of Households!" I recommended you for the next prefectural commander, and if nothing else, you will be the next prefectural magistrate! ”

"That's true!" Grandpa Gao was pleasantly surprised.

"It's more real than real gold!" The prefectural magistrate assured.

Grandpa Gao hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

The county magistrate hurriedly helped Grandpa Gao and said, "What did Brother Gao say, this was a condition that we had already negotiated, and I will wait for Brother Gao's letter of appointment to come down before leaving!" ”

"The county commander is a true gentleman!" Grandpa Gao exclaimed.

"Brother Gao is really ridiculous! We've been out for a while, so let's go back early now that we're done," suggested the prefectural magistrate.

"What the lord said is," Grandpa Gao finished speaking, and went back to the banquet hall with the county magistrate.

As soon as Grandpa Gao walked into the banquet hall, someone coaxed: "Lord Bo, Ling Sun was admitted to Xiucai at such a young age, I heard that not only is he quick, but also studied under Wudang, and his swordsmanship is superb. ”

After hearing this, the others slapped the table and echoed: "Sword dance! Sword Dance! Sword Dance! ”

Grandpa Gao saw that everyone was so enthusiastic that it was not easy to retreat, so he had to agree: "Okay, I'll let them dance the sword to help the fun, but they have just learned the sword for more than two years, and the swordsmanship is crude, only its shape is not its god, if the dance is not good, everyone will have to bear with them for the sake of their youth!" ”

"It's just fun, it's not so particular, after the dance, I'll continue to dance!" Master Dianshi said.

"Lang'er, Yu'er, Jing'er, you will dance your most proficient swordsmanship to cheer everyone up!" Grandpa Gao commanded.

Gao Jing and the others danced a section of Wudang's most ordinary swordsmanship according to Grandpa Gao's instructions, but because it was a young man who danced the sword, it looked very pleasing to the eye, so that the applause continued, bringing the banquet to a climax. After that, the others also performed their own good shows, and the applause, applause, and drinking at the banquet were intertwined to form a lively picture!
