Chapter 294: Xiong Fei's Family Banquet
Xiong Fei came back from the court, and was sitting in the study when he suddenly heard a report. Outside the door, a man and a woman who claimed to be old friends of adults asked to see them. Xiong Fei was overjoyed, was Fan Li and Zimei here?
Hurriedly got up to greet him, and saw a man and a woman outside the gate of the house from a distance, leading horses and standing in the local area. It is Fan Li and Zimei. shouted loudly: "Eun Gong is here, Eun Gong is here!" ”
Fan Li and Zimei bowed and saluted: "People from afar have seen adults." ”
Xiong Fei said: "When I got up this morning, I saw magpies chirping in the trees, and I thought, will there be a distinguished guest today?" Sure enough, the two benevolent fathers came. Not overjoyed, overjoyed. ”
Fan Li said: "If you don't dislike it, you and I are still brothers, and the name of Engong is strange and uncomfortable." ”
Xiong Fei said: "If Xiong Fei hadn't been rescued by the two, his bones would have been gone. The grace of saving lives, I dare not forget it, and it is appropriate to call a word of kindness. ”
Fan Li said: "Don't be too polite, when the adult was sick, he happened to be met by Fan Li and gave him a helping hand, which is also our fate." ”
Xiong Fei said, "Yes, yes! It's really fate. Oops, how to stand outside and talk, please come in! With a wave of his hand, a family member came over to take the reins of the horse and lead the horse to the trough.
Xiong Fei respectfully led the way in front, led the two into the study, sat down, and the family offered tea.
Xiong Fei said: "The two of you will sit down for a while, and I will come when I go, brother." ”
Fan Li said: "Adults are at their own convenience. ”
Xiong Fei ran out, there was not much time, and suddenly felt the fragrant wind blowing, the ring dingdong, and the voice of the warbler Yan said: "Where is the benefactor?" Where is the benefactor? ”
Looking up suddenly, a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in broken steps, followed by a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old and a boy in his teens.
Xiong Fei said: "This is Shanjing Lu Ji, the little dog and the little girl Hong'er." Come, kowtow to your benefactor and thank you! ”
The beautiful woman took her daughter and son, knelt down together, kowtowed, and said, "I have seen Engong!" ”
Fan Li and Zimei panicked, they didn't expect Xiong Fei to come to this hand. Hurriedly stepped forward, Zimei helped Mrs., and Fan Li pulled the girl and boy: "Madame, please get up, Miss, son, please get up." ”
Xiong Fei's wife Fan Li is naturally not easy to touch, so she can only reach out to help, and Fan Li, as an elder, can naturally reach out to help the girl. The boy did not shy away from it.
The girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and tall, with a face like white jade, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, red lips like fire, and she was very beautiful. The girl was in love for the first time, knew the personnel, and when she saw Fan Li, she was like an electric shock. The little heart was beating wildly. When Fan Li's hand touched his arm, he couldn't help but let out a soft call.
Fan Li's robe sleeves flicked the embroidered stool: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, please take a seat." ”
The lady sat down, and the two children stood behind her. Mrs. said: "Lu Ji heard from my lord that he went to the state of Wu and unfortunately contracted an illness, but fortunately he was rescued by two benefactors and served for many days before he escaped death and returned to his hometown. These favors are greater than Mount Tai. Rong Luji thanked again. As he spoke, he bowed.
Fan Li bowed down and said: "Fan Li and Zimei, they were a little uncomfortable when they met Lord Xiong Fei, and they did what they should do after taking care of them for a few days. Why does his sister-in-law never forget? Please don't be too polite. If you are too polite, you will see the outside. ”
Look at Mrs. Xiong Fei, Lu Ji, although she has reached the age of thirty-five or sixteen, she is very well maintained, her face is smooth, her waist is as thin as a willow, and she is still very beautiful. Looking forward to it, his eyes swept over Fan Li from time to time.
Fan Li is the most beautiful man in the world, and he is in his thirties, which is the most tempting age for men. Although Lu Ji didn't have her mind in mind, the pleasure brought by the beautiful man still hit her quietly, she tried to avoid Fan Li's gaze, but she couldn't help but secretly look at Fan Li.
Zimei is so shrewd, all this naturally can't be hidden from her eyes. I can't help but feel sad and funny.
A few words of greeting, the feelings of longing after the farewell. There was not much time, that is, the family set the meal, and Lu Ji brought her daughter Hong'er and her son to the table again.
Fan Li's heart was moved, this is a family banquet hospitality. This is the highest standard etiquette for ordinary eunuchs to entertain distinguished guests.
There is a lot of seafood on the table that rarely occurs in the south. Qi is located in the North China Plain, the land is fertile, the products are abundant, close to the Bohai Sea, the sea salt production radiates the world, and the seafood is abundant. This table of meals can give a glimpse of how rich the Qi country is.
After the meal, Fan Li took out the seizure of the country that he asked Ji Sunsi to come to, found a jade hanging pendant from it, and said: "Small gift, please smile and accept it!" "Give it to Xiong Fei.
Xiong Fei is naturally a person who knows the goods, and he knows that this gem is worth a lot of money at a glance, so he hurriedly bowed down and took it: "Xiong Fei has received my brother's favor, but he has not been able to repay it, how can he receive such a valuable gift again?" What a shame. ”
Fan Li said: "My own brother, how do you say anything outside? He took out a white jade hairpin and said, "This hairpin is also very good-looking, if your sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, please accept it." Handing it to Zimei, Zimei said, "Does my sister-in-law like it?" ”
Lu Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed, his face turned red, although the Qi country was rich, this kind of item was very rare. Hurriedly said: "It's so beautiful!" "Take it in your hand and play with it, I can't bear to put it away.
Fan Li took out another string of pearl necklaces, handed them to Hong'er, and said, "Look at it, do you like it?" ”
Hong'er was fifteen or sixteen years old, it was the flowering season for girls to love beauty, and when she saw that every pearl in the necklace was white and round, there was a treasure shining brightly. Hong'er's face turned red excitedly, and she said a little shyly: "Uncle's gift, it's really a baby, Hong'er likes it too much." ”
Fan Li smiled and said, "If you like it, Uncle will bring it to you!" Then he opened the necklace and circled his hands around the back of Hong'er's head, so that the girl was equivalent to hugging Fan Li's arms. The breath of the mature man on Fan Li's body rushed to her face, and Hong'er felt her heart beating wildly, her chest rose and fell, and it became difficult to breathe, and she couldn't help but let out a slight moan.
In an instant, the necklace hook was hung, Fan Li took a step back, looked Hong'er up and down, and said with a smile: "Ouch, my niece is really beautiful!" ”
Hong'er was so happy that tears were about to fall, and she was deeply blessed: "Hong'er, thank you, Uncle!" ”
Fan Li gave a gift to the re-generation, and then took out a large bag from his pocket and said, "These gadgets, please accept them." "It's all a national collection of the country, and every piece is worth a fortune.
Xiong Fei panicked: "Hey, brother, how can this be done?" This gift was too valuable, and Xiong Fei didn't dare to accept it. ”
Fan Li said: "Since you and I are brothers, the eldest brother does not have to refuse." Fan Li is here to visit my eldest brother, and I don't want my eldest brother to do anything for me. ”
Xiong Fei looked embarrassed and said, "Brother is serious. As long as you need Xiong Fei to do things, in a word. No ambiguity! ”
Lu Ji said: "Since Uncle is sincere, the master will accept it, but it is disrespectful." ”
Fan Li smiled: "It's still my sister-in-law." ”
Xiong Fei looked at these jewels, his head was sweating, and said, "Okay! I accept it, the great favor is not reciprocated, and we will come to a long time. ”
Fan Li and Zimei looked at each other and smiled.
Fan Li never took money seriously in his life, but the gold and silver treasures were like long legs and feet, crowded into his pocket. After Fan Li helped the king of Yue to destroy Wu and restore the country, he retreated bravely. Floating into the sea, settled in Tao, known as "Tao Zhu Gong", a few years, rich in the world. But with a wave of his hand, all the materials were scattered, and he started again, and after a few years, he was the richest man in the world, and then he scattered all the money, and so on several times. It is no wonder that later generations worshipped him as the god of wealth and burned incense to worship.
That's for later.
