Yang Cong wanted to drink as soon as he was in a bad mood, at noon he accompanied Yu Dayou and others to drink a dark day, and at night he accompanied Yu Dayou and them to drink a dark night, until the next day at noon near noon, he woke up in the call of the next person.

This day is Zhang Shen's birthday, this birthday banquet can not be eaten indiscriminately, the gentry children who came to celebrate have been notified in advance, who sits at which table has been arranged, and everyone can no longer sit indiscriminately.

Yang Cong is also a close friend of Mrs. Zhang, and it is "possible" to become Zhang Shen's grandson-in-law, which can be regarded as the closest guest of the Zhang family, so he was invited to the inner courtyard of the Zhang family's main house for a banquet.

As for Yu Dayou, on the surface, they are just miscellaneous officials of the government, and their status is not very high, so they can only sit outside.

Yang Cong couldn't help this, he could only say sorry, and sent Yu Dayou and them to the pre-arranged place, and then followed the Zhang family's family Ding Shi Shiran to the Zhang family's mansion.

This Zhang family's mansion is not as big as the Yang family's mansion, although they are an official family, they have always been honest and self-disciplined, so they don't have much money to build a mansion at all.

However, this Zhang family's mansion looks more spectacular than the Yang family's mansion, because the houses in the Zhang family's mansion are relatively large, and unlike the Yang family, which is scattered everywhere, their entire mansion is a compound, and I don't know how many entrances are criss-crossed inside.

The reason why the Zhang family's mansion is different from the Yang family's mansion has a lot to do with the identity of their official eunuch family, because the Ming law stipulates that merchants cannot build more than three residences, and there are also restrictions on the size of the hall, which exceeds the regulations, that is, to find those corrupt officials to clean up, so the Yang family is very cautious when they build a house, and they have never exceeded the regulations, which makes the entire Yang family mansion full of three-entry courtyards, which looks very loose.

The Zhang family's mansion is different, there are basically no restrictions on the gentry's residences, there are no clear rules on how much to build and how big a house to build, as long as the mansion they build does not exceed the regulations of the palace.

The place where the banquet was held in the inner courtyard of Zhang's house was probably the courtyard where Zhang Shen lived, and there were probably hundreds of square meters in it, but there were a total of three tables at this time.

At the middle table was the old birthday star Zhang Shen and his acquaintances, as well as several local officials, including the county magistrate Liu Shouliang.

The table on the left is the second generation of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Shen's children and nephews, as well as some children of gentry families who are more famous in Quanzhou and even Fujian.

Most of the people sitting at the table on the right are the three generations of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Shen's grandsons and nephews, of course, the legendary first beauty of Hui'an and the first talented daughter of Hui'an, Zhang Zhen, is not at this table.

In recent years, the defense of men and women in the official eunuch family is still very strict, and the female dependents are all dining in the backyard, and they generally do not run to the front to show their heads.

Yang Cong was sitting at the table on the right at this moment, but he did not have the slightest joy at being hospitalized, on the contrary, he felt quite responsive, and even he had the urge to get up and leave.

Because Chen Wenjie is also at this table, and Chen Neng, the son of the Chen family in Fuzhou, that is, his biggest "rival in love", is also there.

This guy, it seems that the competitors of Zhang Zhen, the first beauty in Hui'an, are the three of them.

Chen Wenjie represents the Longxi Chen family, and he seems to be the most unpopular, because the Zhang family did not show any intention of marrying with their Chen family at all, but he relied on the Longxi Chen family and no one dared to provoke him, and he relied on the Zhang family, and he had a feeling of wanting to overlord the bow.

Chen Neng represents the Chen family in Fuzhou, and he should be said to be the most promising to become the Zhang family's son-in-law now, because the Chen family in Fuzhou is also a traditional official family, and the family background is even deeper than the Zhang family, and the reputation among the gentry is also greater than the Zhang family, and the Zhang family is probably eager to marry them.

As for Yang Cong, the Yang family of Hui'an seems to be the first to propose to the Zhang family, but the Zhang family has not agreed, and at this time, as Zhang Yueguan gets bigger and bigger, his hope is getting slimmer and slimmer

The Zhang family didn't know why the three of them were arranged at the same table, doesn't this make it clear that people are fighting bayonets?

At this moment, the smell of gunpowder was full between the three of them, as if war could start at any time.

Chen Wenjie was as arrogant and domineering as ever, and his eyes glaring at Chen Neng and Yang Cong were full of threat, as if Chen Neng and Yang Cong would die if they didn't quit obediently.

Chen Neng is also very strange, his nostrils are faintly facing the sky, giving people the feeling of being superior, and looking at people with the feeling of looking down.

He looked at Chen Wenjie with no fear at all, but with a hint of contempt in his indifference, as for the look at Yang Cong, it was pure contempt, without a trace of impurities.

Yang Cong is helpless, Nima, at this time, he can't be cowardly if he is a man, he has to pretend to have a unique arrogant expression of a rich child, and glared at these two guys arrogantly, to show that he is not cowardly at all.

Before the old lady Zhang Shen announced the opening of the table, the second generation of the Zhang family at the table on the left suddenly stood up and raised a glass together: "The child (nephew) wishes my father (uncle, uncle) a happy life and good health." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Shen didn't seem to be surprised, he stood up tremblingly, nodded with relief, picked up the wine glass again, and then raised his hand and said, "Okay, everyone has a heart, all sit, all sit." ”

The second generation of the Zhang family over there just drank the wine in the cup, sat down together, and the three generations of the Zhang family stood up together and raised their glasses and said: "Grandson (nephew) wishes grandfather (uncle and grandfather) happiness like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan." ”

This seems to be the custom of the Zhang family or what's wrong, Zhang Shen didn't bother anymore, stood up again, nodded with satisfaction, picked up the wine glass again, and then raised his hand to let everyone sit down.

Yang Cong thought, it should be over now, but unexpectedly, a burst of fragrant wind suddenly came from the direction of the side door of their table, and a young girl dressed in full costume walked in with a few little girls shyly and timidly.

Almost everyone's eyes are attracted by this young girl, her temperament is so outstanding, her face is so delicate, and she gives people a feeling of being a fairy descending to earth.

This is the legendary first beauty Zhang Zhen of Hui'an!

In his mind, he subconsciously remembered the rumors about Zhang Zhen, it is rumored that this Zhang Zhen is twenty-eight years old, looks like a sinking fish and a goose, and is ashamed of flowers in the closed moon!

This, to say that the fish and geese are sinking, and the moon is shy of flowers, it is indeed an exaggeration.

However, this Zhang Zhen is indeed a rare beauty, this appearance, this figure, is enough to make people dizzy.

At this time, not only Yang Cong was stunned, but Chen Wenjie and Chen Neng were also stunned, and it was not until Zhang Zhen led a few little girls to celebrate their birthdays that the three of them slowly came back to their senses.

Chen Wenjie's eyes were obviously full of greed and desire, as if he wanted to swallow people in his stomach.

Chen Neng's eyes couldn't hide the eager light, and it was obvious that he couldn't be moved.

Yang Cong has mixed feelings in his heart at this time, he finally saw Zhang Zhen, the first beauty in Hui'an, but what is the point of seeing it, no matter how beautiful people are, what does it have to do with themselves?

Alas, it's better not to see each other than to see each other!
