Volume 1 Chapter 91 We will meet again
Yang Cong did not return to Hui'an after getting 10,000 taels of silver, because Li Xixian's birthday was approaching, and he still had to stay to celebrate his birthday.
Of course, this is just an excuse, although Li Xixian's birthday is a few days away, he still has time to send the silver back to Hui'an, he is not Li Xixian's relative, and he is not Li Xixian's close friend, even if the number of gifts for a meal on his birthday is reached, there is no need to stay in Yongning Acropolis and wait.
The reason why he stayed in the Yongning Acropolis and didn't go back was, of course, to spend more time with Lu Ling'er.
This silver is retrieved, even if Lu Linger's most curious thing is done, after all, she is a girl, it is impossible to come to him if she has nothing to do, if you don't create some opportunities, even if you stay in Yongning Acropolis, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be with Lu Linger all day long, what should I do?
This Yang Cong naturally thought about it a long time ago, and after bringing the silver back to Yazhu Courtyard, he agreed with Lu Ling'er to hold Li Xixian's birthday banquet together the next day, so that the two would have an excuse to get tired of being together.
In other words, this Li Xixian is the commander of Yongningwei and the actual military attache of Zheng Sanpin, does he still need Yang Cong and Lu Ling'er to play for him at his birthday banquet?
If it is according to Li Xixian's meaning, then there is naturally no need for Zhang Luo, because he is not from Quanzhou Mansion in the first place, and there are no relatives and friends here, except for the military attache of Yongningwei and the big merchants like the Yang family, who are deliberately pasted up, there is basically no one to congratulate him on his birthday, and he is not ready to organize this birthday banquet.
What he meant was that on his birthday, let the cooks and soldiers of the guard set up dozens of tables and entertain the military attachés and other guests who came to congratulate him on his birthday, and it would be over, and there was nothing else to celebrate.
However, for the sake of "selfish interests", Yang Cong must organize his birthday banquet in a big way!
So, early the next morning, Yang Cong instigated Lu Ling'er to pester Li Xixian, and asked Li Xixian to order the following thousands of households to count how many people wanted to come to celebrate his birthday, so that he could prepare invitations and banquets in advance.
This means that the thousands of households and hundreds of households below should notify their "acquaintances", invite more people to come over, save face for the commander, and make the birthday banquet prosperous.
In these years, those who can mix up the famous hall are all human spirits, and the commander makes the adults let everyone go to support the field, can you not care?
I didn't plan to come, so I had to come anyway.
Originally, I was going to come alone, but I had to invite a few relatives and friends to support the conductor.
As soon as the commander here sent the Yamen to inform him, the next day, the guards reported the number of people one after another, and that guy, the number was simply scared to death.
At this time, there are hundreds of people in a thousand households just in office, including thousands of households, deputy thousand households, hundreds of households, general banners, etc., and there are more hereditary officers under the thousands of households than serving officers, plus their relatives and friends, the number is terrifying.
Here's a very simple example.
For example, Yu Dayou, a hereditary hundred households, Li Xixian didn't notify them originally, and if they were not well-informed, they wouldn't have known about it, and they wouldn't have come to celebrate their birthday.
This notice, Yu Dayou himself is definitely coming, not only himself, but also Xue Nantang, Shi Wenzhai, Shi Lizhai, Li Du, these iron buddies, and even local celebrities like Li Liangqin Yu Dayou will also run to ask, if you are free, if you are free, if you are free, you can follow me to help the commander make the adult support the field, this is a rare opportunity, at least I can leave a name in the commander.
In this way, there are more than ten times more people who come to celebrate the birthday, and the more people there are, the more people will be busy.
Thousands of people come to celebrate the birthday, it is definitely not enough to set up a banquet for one day, it must be set for several days, this banquet is more, the dishes are correspondingly more, Yongning Acropolis must not be able to raise so many ingredients, to buy everywhere, and even the cooking chef is not enough, and you have to invite a few sets of special teams.
Also, if this birthday banquet is to be lively, you can't just eat and drink, the stage must also be set up, and you have to invite several sets of troupes to take turns to sing non-stop in order to set off this atmosphere.
Yang Cong had originally participated in such a birthday banquet in Dongling's Zhang family, and his grandfather Yang Rong had personally handled it, so he ordered someone to hurry up and go home to inform him, and asked his grandfather to send a few personal stewards to assist him, and this matter could naturally be done beautifully.
In this way, Yang Cong and Lu Linger began to get up early and prepare for Li Xixian's birthday banquet, and they were very busy, and Li Xixian's 50th birthday was also held by them, which was extremely festive.
The two of them have been working together for several days, and the relationship is naturally getting better and better, and even, when there is no one around, the two even hold hands unconsciously!
This is equivalent to a private life, Yang Cong is naturally overjoyed in his heart.
In this posture, as long as Lu Linger's parents nod, he can marry this great beauty, but unfortunately, Lu Linger's parents are far away in the capital, and this family matter is not easy to mention.
He could only faintly hint at Li Xixian, hoping that this uncle could help and think of a way.
What is strange is that Li Xixian is always vague, doesn't say anything, doesn't agree or oppose, and doesn't care if the two of them are crooked together, just talk about him left and right.
What's going on here?
In fact, Li Xixian was waiting for Lu Song and his wife's reply, and he didn't know that his sister and brother-in-law did not agree to such a family affair, so naturally it was not easy to agree or object.
Although he had already sent a message to the capital, this Yongningwei was more than 4,000 miles away from the capital, and even if it was 800 miles, it would take more than ten days to send an urgent letter back and forth.
Therefore, until Li Xixian's birthday was over, Yang Cong didn't get a letter, and Li Xixian didn't say that he would go back, anyway, he was vague and sloppy with him.
Yang Cong hoped to stay with Lu Ling'er for a while, but the lack of a letter really made him feel like fifteen buckets of water.
About five or six days after Li Xixian's birthday, the reply letter from the capital finally arrived, the letter was written by his sister Li himself, the meaning of Lu Song and his wife, if Lu Linger and Yang Cong get along, this family matter is not impossible to discuss.
However, Yang Cong's background is really a little too low, if Yang Cong is really a genius as rumored, he can be smooth sailing, and pass the title of the college examination, the township examination, the general examination and the palace examination, and it is not impossible to marry Lu Linger to him.
Now Li Xixian finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he didn't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, and there is still hope for success in this matter.
That night, he personally went to Yazhu Courtyard and showed Yang Cong the reply letter from Lu Song and his wife.
There is no way, Lu Linger and Yang Cong are tired of being together almost every day these days, only at night, Lu Linger will leave Yang Cong and go back to rest, he doesn't want Lu Linger to know about this.
Yang Cong read the reply of Lu Song and his wife, sighed, this heart can be regarded as steady, although Lu Song and his wife are a little realistic, but it is also human nature, and their current identity and status are indeed not worthy of Lu Ling'er.
Fortunately, people didn't slap themselves to death, and directly let themselves get out of the way, as long as they work hard, there is still a lot of hope for success.
The next day, when the time of separation came, Li Xixian directly lied to Lu Linger that Lu Song and his wife and the emperor missed her very much, and asked her to hurry home.
When Lu Linger heard the news, she had no choice but to pack up and go back to Beijing, when Yang Cong came to see him off, she couldn't care about being shy, she just didn't let go of Yang Cong, and the tears couldn't stop flowing out.
Exactly: holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked.
Amorous parting since ancient times, this scene, the whole Yang Cong almost cried.
However, he finally endured it and didn't shed tears, this marriage has to be fought for by himself, and it's useless to cry and cry.
He can only comfort Lu Ling'er one by one, at the latest in two years, he will definitely go to the capital, as long as there is fate, he will definitely see you again!
