Chapter 228: Reception Banquet (Second Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

Ning Xiu said in his heart, and he couldn't see that this little grandfather Xu was still a lolicon. The woman looked like she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he could do it.

Beasts!

Young Grandpa Xu, who was defined as a beast by Ning Xiu, walked to the officials waiting on the dock surrounded by a group of generals.

He is used to seeing this kind of scene, whether it is going to Suzhou and Hangzhou or most of the officials along the way to Huguang will greet him warmly.

Of course, he understood that these officials put on a huge battle because of his identity, because he was the little grandfather of the Wei State Mansion.

He might have felt some excitement before, but not now. These officials like to meet each other, so let them meet well, it's a big deal that he just says a few more words.

"Little Grandpa Xu has worked hard all the way. Xiaguan led the officials of Jingzhou Mansion and Jiangling County, as well as a group of gentry and Confucianism, and the late students to welcome Grandpa Xu. ”

The prefect Li Rui arched his hand at Xu Huaiyuan, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

It stands to reason that although Xu Huaiyuan is the son of the Duke of Wei, he is not the heir, and it is Xu Weizhi, the eldest son of Xu Bangrui, who will inherit the title of Duke of Wei in the future.

If Wei Guogong himself or Xu Weizhi went to Jiangling, it would be reasonable for Governor Li to be so humble. But Xu Huaiyuan is not as noble as these two after all, is Li Rui too respectful of his subordinates?

Of course, how Governor Li behaved was not something that Ning Xiu could decide. All he could do was stand with his hands tied and watch what was happening.

"Governor Li is too polite. Xiao Ke just passed by Jiangling and wanted to accompany his sister on a tour, so he didn't have to be so excited. ”

After all, Xu Huaiyuan is a noble son, and he talks very decently, and he makes things clear in just one sentence - I came to Huguang to play, and I passed by Jingzhou Mansion to take a rest, but I didn't ask you to be so enthusiastic and welcoming you. I can't help it if you want to, just don't be caught by others and make a fuss.

"It should be, it should be."

Li Rui smiled with a pleasant smile: "Xiaguan has already prepared a banquet in Wangxian Tower in the city, and invited the little grandfather to move to the banquet." ”

Although Xu Huaiyuan didn't like to participate in this kind of reception banquet very much, Governor Li said everything to this point, and it would be too unkind for him to refuse.

"Then Xiao Ke thanks Governor Li for his kindness."

Li Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stretched out his right arm to make a gesture of please.

Xu Huaiyuan was not humble either, and walked in front. Yu Lingxue followed closely behind Xu Huaiyuan, for fear of losing it.

A group of officials and stars surrounded the two brothers and sisters in the middle, and Hao Hao Tang Tang headed towards Jiangling City.

......

......

Gangneung City, Wangxian Tower.

More than a dozen tables of banquets have been prepared, and Li Weifang, the shopkeeper, is eager to wear it.

Governor Li decided to prepare a banquet in Wangxian Tower to catch the wind and wash the dust for the young grandfather Xu who came from afar. This is a great opportunity for Wangxian Tower.

If you can seize the opportunity and win the favor of the bigwigs, officials and gentlemen, Wangxian Tower will be equivalent to getting a golden signboard.

Wangxian Mansion is a restaurant where Grandpa Xu, Governor Li, and Yao County Ling have eaten wine and joy together, if anyone also comes here to have a light meal, wouldn't it be very face-saving?

Those wealthy businessmen and giants have the best face, and they will definitely rush to come, and they are really a mountain of gold and silver to send in front of them.

"Quick, go and have a look again, see if Governor Li has entered the city."

Li Weifang waved his hand at the young man beside him, and the little guy immediately pulled out his legs to probe.

Not long after he walked out of the restaurant, he saw the crowd of people walking towards the restaurant, and he saw that he had arrived at the door.

There was a gong in front of him to open the way, needless to say, he also knew that this must be the official master.

At present, the officials and lords in the city have gone to Xinghuadu Wharf to greet Grandpa Xu, so the officials have already welcomed Grandpa Xu into the city?

He didn't dare to delay, so he turned around and trotted all the way up to the second floor of the restaurant, panting and reporting to the shopkeeper: "They ...... They have arrived. ”

"What did you say, who arrived?"

Li Weifang glared at the young man and held his breath.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Little grandfather ......"

Li Weifang let out a sigh of relief, pushed the young guy away, and ran downstairs with the hem of his robe and pedaling.

Hurrying slowly, he finally greeted the dignitaries before they arrived at the door of the restaurant.

I saw a fair-skinned and handsome young man Lang Jun being held in the middle, presumably it was the little grandfather of the Wei Mansion, right?

On this occasion, Li Weifang naturally couldn't talk much, he flashed aside respectfully, and watched a group of powerful people walk into the restaurant.

Although the entire restaurant was covered by Governor Li's mansion, in fact, the lobby on the first floor would not be used, and the group walked straight to the second floor.

The powerful have to hold a banquet in a private room on the second floor. Although there are no other diners in the restaurant except for them, the rules cannot be changed.

There are many people who attend the banquet, and they sit at different tables according to their status.

The most honorable person in the banquet was Grandpa Xu, and the people sitting around Grandpa Xu were all magistrates of Jingzhou. Needless to say, there are also some officials from the same governor and the county magistrate. Of course, this table also made an exception to sit in Xu Xiaogong's cousin Yu Lingxue.

With this table as the axis, it radiates outward, and the rest of the tables are sitting local gentlemen and Confucians. On the outermost side are the students of the prefectural and county schools, as well as some local 'backward leaders'.

Ning Xiu and Sun Wufan sat alone at a small table by the window, but they were very quiet.

Ning Xiu didn't have much of an opinion on such an arrangement. After all, his status, status, and qualifications are not as good as those big guys, and squeezing in for no reason will be disgusting.

And it's really comfortable to sit on the periphery, and you can also look at the scenery by the window, isn't it beautiful?

But Sun Wufan looked unhappy, and kept muttering angrily in his mouth.

This is also understandable, after all, the idea of greeting Grandpa Xu at the Xinghuadu Wharf outside the city was his idea, and Governor Li adopted this suggestion but did not give Sun Wufan any preferential treatment, and still let him sit on the outermost side, Sun Wufan naturally felt unhappy.

"Why don't you eat it, Brother Sun, try this pea cake, it tastes really good."

Ning Xiu picked up a piece of pea cake and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.

"Hey, Brother Ning Xian really has a good appetite."

Sun Wufan pursed his lips, and very reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of roasted venison and put it in his mouth, and bit it down angrily.

Ning Xiu took a sip of wine, stared at Sun Wufan with a smile and said, "Brother Sun, you have to be a little happier." It's useless if you're in a bad mood, but you're angry, so why bother? ”

Sun Wufan lowered his voice with an aggrieved face and said, "I don't feel good in my heart." ”

Ning Xiu almost squirted out wine.

"Could it be that you still want to sit with Grandpa Xu?"

"Why not? He's still an old acquaintance. ”

Sun Wufan pouted and said.

"Wait, what do you say? Are you and Grandpa Xu old acquaintances? ”
