Xiao Jia was quite pleased, but didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded, raised his hand, and signaled Rongzhu and Hua Yun to retreat.

The dust washing banquet was held at noon that day, which was an arrangement made by the considerate envoy and his entourage. After a feast at noon, they can rest to their heart's content in the afternoon and night. The dust washing banquet is a necessary part of the official face, and the Canaan county guard and a number of county guards and subordinates collectively feast the special envoy and his entourage. Rongzhu didn't like the hypocrisy of officialdom, so he just came forward to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, toasted a few bottles of wine, and ate something with him, and the dust washing banquet was over.

In the evening, the steward of the county guard came to the post station where Hua Yun and his party were stationed, and greeted Hua Yun and said, "Your Excellency. The county keeper said that it was a pity that the luncheon was rushed and everyone was detained, so everyone was not happy. Therefore, dinner was arranged by Lord Juncheng, and then everyone will be picked up and washed, I hope you can have a good drink. ”

Hua Yun said: "Lord County Shou is really too polite. Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. ”

The steward of the county guard mansion said: "The county guard also said that he wanted to set up a separate family banquet in the county guard mansion, and only invited Hua Gongzi to talk about homely things. Hua Gongzi doesn't know if he can appreciate the light? ”

This steward knows things very well. In the previous paragraph, complimenting Hua Yun as a "special envoy for the decree", that is because of the matter, although after the special envoy Chuntuo was killed, there was no special envoy for the decree, but Hua Yun acted as the special envoy for the decree, so it was called "special envoy for the decree", which is an honorific title and is not indispensable. But when it came time to invite him to the family banquet in Rongjun, he called him "Hua Gongzi", which is to call him as the identity of the Shouhua Chong Gongzi of Liuchuan County, which is called out of personal feelings, which is very appropriate and decent, and it is also very warm.

Moreover, the arrangement of this banquet is also in the past, and it is even a proper arrangement for public and private bargains. Yu Gong, Hua Yun's decree is related to Rongzhu's marriage, and Rongzhu's banquet out of gratitude is natural. Yu Private, Hua Yun's father Hua Chong and Rong Zhu are ministers of the same dynasty, they are colleagues of the same generation, Hua Yun is a junior, and they set up a banquet at home, which is regarded as a banquet for their children and nephews as elders, which is a very heart-warming arrangement. Moreover, if you have a banquet at home, both the guest and the host will be more comfortable.

For Hua Yun, this arrangement is especially good, of course, because of the melting cliff.

Hua Yun thought that since Lord County Shou said that he was "only invited" to himself, and he had already arranged for Lord County to invite other people to a banquet, it was best to go alone.

So Hua Yun rode alone to the county guard's mansion. When he arrived at the county guard's mansion, Rongzhu personally greeted him at the door of the mansion according to etiquette, and after the two sides were polite, Rongzhu led Hua Yun to the living room. Hua Yun found that the layout in the living room was really like a family banquet, and the scale of the dining utensils was very small, so it seemed that there would not be too many people.

Rong Zhu opened his mouth and said: "Hua Gongzi Saddle Horse Fatigue, invite Hua Gongzi to have a light meal today." When the two brothers Da Lang and Erlang were in the Holy Capital, they were cared for by Hua Gongzi, and the old man was very grateful. At today's family banquet, only me and Humble Jing were the only companions, and I was wronged by Mr. Hua. ”

Rongzhu and his wife all came forward, and there was no one else. This was the most intimate and grand family banquet, and Hua Yun felt flattered.

Hua Yun bowed down and said, "How can he be born in the late life, how can he be so loved by Uncle Rongshi." ”

Rongzhu is a military style, simple and upright, concise and to the point, a thick hand held Hua Yun's forearm, and said: "Hua Gongzi doesn't have to be polite. The old man already knows that you are quite good friends with Rongya, Rongya is not talented, you made a big mistake, thanks to Hua Gongzi for not giving up, and taking care of him in every way. The old man was very moved. ”

Hua Yun heard Rongzhu talk about Rongya, his eyes turned red, and he said: "Brother Ya is noble and flawless, and he is a model for my generation." It is a blessing to meet Brother Ya in his later life, so he also cherishes his friendship with Brother Ya. Those false charges must have been framed, but they were born late and had limited abilities, so they couldn't find out for Brother Ya and restore Brother Ya's innocence. As he spoke, he rolled down tears.

Rongzhu can see that this is not Hua Yun's intention, but there is indeed true love in it. This surprised Rongzhu. Because Rongya and Hua Yun get along, it will only be two months at most, and Rongya will be in prison for another month. In such a short period of time, it is surprising that such a deep affection has been cultivated. In addition, Hua Chong, the father of Hua Yun, is a very good man, and his pretentious kung fu can confuse the real with the fake, often making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. But the deception of Hua Chong's faction cannot be concealed in the eyes of such a sincere and simple person as Rongzhu, and it is disgusting for a long time. What is rare is that Hua Yun seems to be really brotherly for Rongya. In fact, Hua Yun didn't say anything surprisingly praised, but his true feelings couldn't be hidden.

Rong Zhu said: "It is his blessing that the dog Rongya can have Hua Gongzi as a confidant. ”

One after another, the servants had almost finished eating. At this time, Mrs. Rong came out.

Mrs. Rong is the origin of the county lord of Xiangting County, and the status of the county lord is much higher than the identity of the county guard. Therefore, in the official face, when everyone sees Mrs. Rong, they generally call her "county lord".

"Late Huayun, meet the county lord." Hua Yun knelt on the ground.

Mrs. Rong said, "Hurry up." You are close friends with Ya'er and Yong'er, and we are also old confidants with Ling Zun, so you don't need to be so polite. "Mrs. Rong's upbringing is very good, but unlike other noble-born princesses and county lords, Mrs. Rong's speech and demeanor are not restrained at all, but very casual and calm, as if she is her own aunt or aunt, which makes people feel more cordial at first sight. Moreover, Mrs. Rong has a dignified and beautiful appearance, but she should dress very briefly, which is not beneficial to civilians.

As soon as Mrs. Rong appeared, Rong Zhu had even fewer words, as if she was just accompanying Mrs. Rong to a banquet for Hua Yun.

Mrs. Rong motioned for Hua Yun to sit down and said, "Yong'er specially wrote to say that you love Canaan food very much?" But is it really? ”

Hua Yun said: "Exactly. Yongdi once had a banquet at Canaan Academy, and the food in the seat did not seem to be very unusual, but the entrance was extremely delicious. Since then, he has been fond of Canaanite food in his later years, and he can't leave it. ”

Mrs. Rong smiled, raised her hand and motioned for the servants to pour wine, and said, "This is really extremely rare. Generally, wealthy families don't look down on Canaanite and think that Canaanite is too vulgar to eat. You are a rich and noble son from a luxury family for generations, and you didn't expect to be able to eat Canaanite native food. Rare, rare. Now it's in our own home, and you're free. Since you are in love with Ya'er and Yong'er, and you are like brothers, then when you come home, you are not a special envoy for the decree, but our family. ”

"Thank you, Lord Shire. Then I'm going to have a feast. Hahaha "At this moment, Hua Yun seems to be a happy child, innocent and cute, reckless and sincere. Mrs. Rong was also very happy and personally gave Hua Yun a dish and introduced the name and method of each dish. Hua Yun ate with relish, and asked about some details of production from time to time. At first glance, I thought it was a child who had been away from home for many years and returned home and talked to his mother.

After eating a plate of unknown Canaan conch, Hua Yun was still unsatisfied, and said: "County Lord, your plate of conch is simply the best taste in the world, and I have never tasted such a delicacy in my later life." Can you enjoy another plate of late birth? Hey. Hua Yun's expression was like that of a shy and naughty child begging his mother for food. Even the usually serious Rong Zhu felt warm and relieved when he saw it, and laughed.

Mrs. Rong was very happy, picked up the handkerchief, wiped the juice on Hua Yun's face, and said, "Your mother is really blessed to give birth to such a caring son, I don't know how happy she is." You don't know, I gave birth to three sons, but none of them can talk to me as intimately as you. I really envy your mother. I want to have such a son, and I don't know how to hurt you. ”

Hua Yun suddenly got up, knelt down, and said: "If the county lord doesn't dislike it, he will accept the late birth as a son, and the late born will be like honoring his own mother, honoring you and Uncle Rong Shi." ”

Mrs. Rong clapped her hands happily, stepped forward to hug Hua Yun's head, and gently stroked it: "Then I am really blessed." Picked up such a good boy in vain. So it is decided, and we will take you as a righteous son, and you will be my child from now on. ”

"The father-in-law is above, the mother is above, please accept the child's worship!" Hua Yun adjusted his kneeling posture, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Rong Zhu and Mrs. Rong, according to the family etiquette. Moreover, Hua Yun's words were extremely ingenious, and he adopted different ways of addressing Rong Zhu and Mrs. Rong. According to etiquette, he called Rongzhu "father-in-law", because after all, Rongzhu and Hua Yun's father were both courtiers and county guards, and it would be too flattering and rude to call him "father" directly. At the same time, he directly changed the "stepmother" who should have been called Mrs. Rong to "mother", which is completely handled by family etiquette, and it is also an expression that he likes Mrs. Rong's family wholeheartedly. This small adjustment in the title made Mrs. Rong feel comfortable.

Rongzhu smiled: "Very good, very good. Hurry up, hurry up. ”

Mrs. Rong said, "My son, get up quickly." I rejoiced, rejoiced. ”

Hua Yun stood up, snuggled into Mrs. Rong's arms, like a coquettish big child, and said, "The child is very happy. The child has long regarded Brother Ya and Brother Yong as his own brothers, and now, he has really become his own brother. ”

Mrs. Rong pulled Hua Yun to sit beside her and said, "Yun'er, you are here this time on an errand, you can't stay longer, and you will only have a few days to work in Tailuo." These days, you just live in the county guard's mansion, my mother will let you taste Canaanite native cuisine, okay? ”
