Chapter 1091: Reception Banquet
The reception banquet for Huang Zongxi Xu Changqing was postponed for a day and arranged for the evening of the next day, but it was very large, and it can even be said that it seriously exceeded the standard.
Not only did the officers of the Model Army and the Wuchang New Army at and above the general level all arrive, but almost all the officers of the former Left Army who had not yet been assigned to actual posts also came.
There are also some local celebrities in Wuchang.
This led to the scale of the entire banquet of more than 300 or nearly 400 people, which was definitely the most luxurious and huge gathering in Wuchang City in recent years.
With such a huge scale, ordinary places must not be able to afford it.
After all, if you have money, you can't build such a place beyond the regulations, this is a real 'trespassing', and it is a felony of raiding the family and exterminating the family.
This time, only the original Chu Wangfu has such regulations.
In the evening, the twilight is covered and the lights are on.
The hall of the Chu Wangfu is already very lively, full of hearty laughter, after the previous horror and turmoil, now after settling down, it is obvious that most people are in a good mood.
Huang Zongxi heard that his reception banquet was actually placed in the Chu Palace, and he was very resistant in his heart.
In the past two days, he has not been idle, it must be an exaggeration to say that he has visited most of Wuchang City, but he has run through many places, so he has a deep understanding of Xu Changqing's methods.
Can Wuchang City be defeated like a thunderstorm and thunder, and in such a short period of time, Wuchang City can be restored to normal, the law and order are quiet, and the people have hope, how can this be done by mortals?
Especially through his sister-in-law, he learned about some of Xu Changqing's thoughts, and Huang Zongxi felt that Xu Changqing was unfathomable.
He himself is engaged in thinking, and naturally understands how painful and difficult it is for people to have their own thoughts!
Without peeling cramps and peeling off the cocoon, how can you break free from the shackles of reality and find your own way?
But Xu Changqing, with the body of 'Qiu Ba', not only fights the tiger and is invincible, but also has a very strong achievement in thinking......
How the hell is this going to keep other people alive?
But this ceremony was prepared for him Huang Zongxi, and it had already cost a lot of money, how could he refuse again?
Therefore, when Huang Zongxi followed Huang Baiyao to the Chu Palace, he was extremely worried.
But when he entered the door, especially when he saw the scene in the Chu Palace, his mood suddenly let go, and he couldn't stop scolding in his heart: "Xu Changqing, this traitor......
What is this to give him Huang Zongxi to catch the wind?
This is clearly to satisfy his ulterior purpose.
Huang Zongxi and Huang Baiyao came to the hall, Xu Changqing was not there, but Wang Xi had been waiting here for a long time, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Huang, you are here." ”
Huang Zongxi had already understood Wang Xi's identity at this time, and knew that this was Xu Changqing's henchman, so he nodded slightly, and his heart was also a little relieved.
At least, Xu Changqing still values him......
After a brief chat with Huang Zongxi and some precautions, Wang Xi clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet." Let me introduce you to a distinguished guest. ”
Although everyone was talking and laughing, their eyes were staring at Wang Xi's side, and naturally they found out about the situation here for the first time, and the venue quickly quieted down.
No way.
Without this eyesight and cleverness, it is obvious that he would not be able to make this occasion tonight.
Huang Zongxi couldn't stop sighing in his heart when he saw Wang Xi's control over the field, especially the red official robe in the field.
The commander of the pro-soldier in front of him is just a 'fox fake tiger', and he has reached this level, so you can imagine what kind of scale it should be when Xu Changqing himself came over.
"Huh. Hou Ye still has some things to do for the time being, so he can come over after a while. On the orders of the Hou Ye, I will first introduce a distinguished guest to you here. Hehe, it's this Mr. Huang next to him. Mr. Huang is not good, he is a well-known talent in Jiangnan, and he is only eight buckets high......"
Wang Xi's professionalism obviously has no problems, even though he is not highly educated, he has been following Xu Changqing for several years, and all kinds of bright and scene scenes come as soon as he opens his mouth.
Wang Xidu said that Huang Zongxi is Xu Changqing's honored guest, who, who dares not to give face?
All
When even if it's just the right amount of flattery.
Rao is Huang Zongxi doesn't want to be big, but in this kind of environment, especially in this kind of environment where he is either rich or expensive, he still can't help but flutter.
As the saying goes, 'Loyalty is good for deeds, and good medicine is good for disease'.
The truth is true, but in life, who the hell likes to listen to this kind of advice every day?
It's powerful, and I'm afraid I'll get depressed if I'm in this environment every day.
And through everyone's little obvious, but not too deliberate flattery, Huang Zongxi suddenly found that these mud-legged stinky Qiu Ba that he had been looking down on seemed to be ...... It's not that unbearable, is it......
After some greetings, Huang Zongxi was led by Wang Xi to the core of the hall.
After all, the Chu Palace's Mansion is the regulation of the Heavenly Family, so tonight's reception banquet is not a wine table type, but a buffet type like 'the Son of Heaven Seals the Princes'.
Huang Zongxi found that the further he went, the higher the level of the generals here, especially the group of people sitting on the left side, who were obviously powerful, and the people on the right subconsciously wanted to curry favor with them.
Huang Zongxi quickly reacted, this should be the core officer of the model army.
He was also secretly looking to see what was so outstanding about these people.
However, before he could recognize his face, he was led by Wang Xi to the top position on the side of the model military officer on the left.
Wang Xi smiled and arched his hand: "Mr. Huang, please take a seat." ”
"This ......"
Rao is Huang Zongxi, he was also a little dumbfounded for a while, and hurriedly said: "General Wang, this, this can't be done, how can this be made, this ......"
He still wanted to shirk it, not wanting to be contaminated with this kind of thing that obviously exceeded his strength, but Wang Xi couldn't help but say, forcibly pressed him to the top position, and explained with a smile: "Mr. Huang, this is the order of the Hou Ye, don't be like a lowly position." ”
"I ......"
Huang Zongxi almost vomited blood.
If it goes on like this, he eats Xu Changqing's and uses Xu Changqing's, how can he be alone?
But as soon as he sat down, before he had time to catch his breath, the surrounding model army generals, including the Wuchang New Army and the Left Army generals, came over to communicate with him with wine glasses.
The key is that these people are all extremely humble, and they don't dare to pour him wine at all, and they all say, 'I did what you want'.
This made Huang Zongxi's heart feel comfortable but restless.
He understands very well that people are extremely complex.
Once he is addicted to today's scene, it will not be fun in the future.
It's a pity that even if he knew it in his heart, he was soon immersed in it......
After a lot of noise, about a quarter of an hour, suddenly came a report from the pro-soldiers: "The Marquis of Haicheng has arrived-"
"Brush!"
The hall was like a gust of wind passing by, and it was quiet all of a sudden, and everyone's faces were much more solemn.
Huang Zongxi is also clever, and secretly slandered in his heart: "What is Xu Changqing doing such a big scene today?" ”
"Huh. I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry. My wife just brought my Xiao Jiu over, and after a moment's delay, I would like to invite you Haihanna. ”
In the familiar voice, Huang Zongxi faintly saw a familiar tall figure in a purple robe striding over from the side.
And beside him, there was also a young woman in a purple dress and an extremely slender figure.
And in the arms of the young woman, she is still holding a little girl who is about two or three years old.
"The lowly rank has seen the handsome ......"
"The lowly rank has seen the ...... of Master Hou"
As the purple-robed figure took over the little girl in the arms of the young woman, settled the woman into the seat next to her, and sat down in the main seat, the venue suddenly fell to its knees, which was extremely spectacular.
At this scene, Huang Zongxi was full of enthusiasm when he saw it, and secretly said in his heart: "Husband, it should be like this." ’
Even if he doesn't like Xu Changqing, but at this time he is immersive, he can no longer deny that Xu Changqing has almost done everything that a man can do at this time.
But for a moment, before Xu Changqing could speak, there was a slight uproar in the audience.
Mainly the former left army units on the right.
"Miss, I've seen Miss ......"
It was Lu Guangzu who was at the forefront who was the first to react, and he was busy coming out, kneeling on the ground, and kowtowing desperately.
Li Guoying, Jin Shenghuan, Chang Deng and others in the back were not stupid, and hurriedly came out of the queue and kowtowed desperately.
"Miss, the lowly Li Guoying has kowtowed to you."
"Miss, the humble position is Changdeng, kowtow to you......"
In the blink of an eye, almost everyone on the right side came out, kowtowing desperately, and there was a 'knock knock' sound in the hall for a while.
"Daddy, they, what are they doing? They seem to be in a hurry. ”
In Xu Changqing's arms, a little girl with a pink carving twisted her little body and secretly stuck to Xu Changqing's ear and said.
She was obviously a little scared of the scene in front of her, and only in her father's arms could she feel safe.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile, and kissed the little girl's little face affectionately: "Hehe, don't be afraid, Xiao Jiu, my father and mother are here." These uncles are all subordinates of your mother, and they haven't seen your mother for a long time, so they are naturally very excited. It's like ...... Well, you just met Daddy. ”
Hearing Xu Changqing's explanation, the little girl couldn't help relaxing, leaning on Xu Changqing's arms affectionately and looking at her mother.
Zuo Mengmei didn't go to see the insiders at this time, but kept looking at Xu Changqing and Xiao Jiu.
Although she has long known that Xu Changqing is different from ordinary people, she loves her daughter more, but after all, she hasn't met Xu Changqing for a long time, and when she sees that Xu Changqing really loves and dotes on Xiao Jiu, she is relieved and confident.
After a moment, he hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle Lu, Uncle Li, Uncle Jin, hey, what are you doing here?" Hurry up, hurry up......"
Only then did everyone stop kowtowing and looked at Zuo Mengmei, but everyone's eyes were full of tears of excitement.
No way.
Even a person like Lu Guangzu, who is very admired by Xu Changqing, understands that the pretty and noble woman in front of him is their biggest backbone.
Only with her can they have a way to 'listen to the sky'.
"Hehe, the love is over, everyone hurry up and take a seat. Speaking of which, this matter is also the responsibility of me, Xu Changqing. For so many years, Mengmei has been married far away, and she has never had time to come back to take a look. Father-in-law, you don't blame me, do you? ”
Xu Changqing looked at Qiu Lei on the first seat on the right mockingly.
Qiu Lei had already admired Xu Changqing at this time, especially seeing Xu Changqing holding his baby granddaughter so intimately, the old face had already turned into a flower, and said busily: "Master Hou, the old man wants to mind, and wants to keep Xiao Jiu by his side for a while, but I'm afraid you won't let me." ”
Hearing Qiu Lei's subtle answer, the hall couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, and the atmosphere soon relaxed.
On the left side, although Huang Zongxi did not have the slightest doubt that Xu Changqing was in control of the situation, he never expected that Xu Changqing would control the entire rhythm briskly and tightly in his own hands so easily.
This also made Huang Zongxi's heart unstoppably cold sweat.
With Xu Changqing's means, he is determined to calculate himself, himself, can he still run?
After laughing for a while, the back kitchen had already begun to serve food, and Xu Changqing also solemnly introduced Huang Zongxi to everyone.
Rao is Huang Zongxi has already experienced this, but when he really heard characters like Xu Changqing, cheered him on, and even gave him enough face, his heart was still indescribably comfortable.
Xu Changqing is too good at being a man.
However, after the introduction, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled: "Everyone must also be curious, Mr. Huang worked tirelessly and rushed all the way here for." Now, I would like to take this opportunity to explain to you. I have officially hired Mr. Huang to teach me the first teacher of the model army, teaching you the way of heaven and man, what do you think? ”
Who in the hall dares not to praise him Xu Changqing? There was a burst of jubilation.
But Huang Zongxi's side was dumbfounded all of a sudden.
It turned out that Xu Changqing was waiting for him here!
However, it has reached such an extent, how can he refuse the scheming and shameless Xu Changqing?
