The banquet was opened, and Liu Yong sat at a table with the host Zhizhou, Zhang Dujian, Zhao Tongjuan, and several officials from the state capital and departments. This kind of treatment can be described as a supreme honor.

Ma Shifan sat at the next table, looking at Liu Yong with a wrinkled brow, not a taste in his heart. He is also the richest man in Meizhou, a business tycoon, and he was robbed of the limelight by a hairy boy like Liu Yong. Because there were also several businessmen at the table with him, they all admired Liu Yong in surprise when they saw Liu Yong sitting at that table, which made him very uncomfortable.

At Ma Gan's table, several young people were talking about how they could make friends with Liu Yong. Ma Gan gritted his teeth, and the wine glass in his hand was almost crushed by him.

At this time, a young man toasted Ma Gan and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, do you know that Liu Guanren?" ”

"I don't know." Ma Gan raised his glass and drank it angrily, which made the toasting young man very embarrassed, and there was something wrong with the toast.

Several people saw that Ma Gan looked angry and wanted to beat someone, and no one dared to toast him anymore, so he had to be lit aside and pour himself a drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Lord Zhizhou got up to say a few words. Everyone stopped their wine glasses, put down their chopsticks, and listened to Lord Zhizhou's lecture.

"I am very grateful that you can come to the little girl's birthday banquet today. As the governor of a state, this official also took this opportunity to say a few digressions. I have been an official here for more than three years now, and I have received the help of my colleagues and made some achievements. Now the entire Meizhou territory can be described as politically harmonious. Here, I, Ouyang Song, would like to give you a glass and express my gratitude. Come and drink this cup with all of us. Ouyang Song drank all the wine in the cup.

And they drank.

"Okay, I'll say a few more words. Now that this pass is fighting against Jin, I have another drink, and I wish the soldiers in front of me to fight the enemy bravely, repel the Jin soldiers as soon as possible, and return home with a great victory. With that, he took another drink.

And they drank.

"Happy. Since today is the little girl's birthday party, the old man invited the little girl out and held a short coming-of-age ceremony for her in the presence of everyone. After Ouyang Song finished speaking, he waved his hand to the little guy next to him, and the little guy would go.

At this time, everyone sitting in the hall held their breath. I heard that Lan Xinhui, the daughter of Lord Zhizhou, has outstanding appearance, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It can be described as a talented woman in Meizhou City. But they didn't have a chance to see each other. Today, Lord Zhizhou held this coming-of-age ceremony for his daughter, which can also be seen that he dotes on and values his daughter.

At this moment, the most nervous is Ma Gan, the purpose of his visit today is to see the daughter of Lord Zhizhou. Previously, Ma Shifan talked to him about the daughter of Lord Zhizhou, but his heart was still with Lin Qingrou and he didn't take it to heart. But at this moment, he changed his mind, he thought, as long as he can become Lord Zhizhou's fast son-in-law, then he will be able to ride on Liu Yong's body in the future and vent the pain of being robbed of his sweetheart. Therefore, as long as the appearance of the adult and daughter of Zhizhou can get by, it is not a question of being able to get by, as long as it is not ugly, he agrees.

But he is not too worried about the appearance of Lord Zhizhou's daughter, and he has also heard rumors in the market. It's just that whether Lin Qingrou is beautiful or not, I don't know.

He also knew that the young people at the same table were all children of official eunuchs, and the purpose of coming this time was not as simple as having a drink and a meal. It is likely that they also came to see the daughter of Lord Zhizhou. As soon as one of the handsome guys heard that the daughter of Lord Zhizhou was coming out, he was already in good spirits and eager to try.

He knew this young man, who was the magistrate of the county. Thinking about it, the magistrate also wants to get married. Seeing the excitement on the face of the magistrate, he glanced at the other party with contempt in his heart

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

But I was a little apprehensive. The competitor in front of him seems to be difficult to deal with. Immediately compare it in my heart.

Speaking of family status, he is the richest man in Meizhou City, and he is the Yanei of the county, which can be regarded as half a catty and eight taels. Speaking of appearance, he inherited his mother's beauty, so naturally he did not lose to him, it was a tie. Speaking of literary talent, I am not sure of this. But there will be some poems and songs, which can resist one or two. In this way, it seems that his advantage is not great.

Thinking of this, Ma Gan's heart couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. As for the other youths, he didn't take it to heart.

At this time, I saw two pink-clothed maids walking out of the back of the lobby, followed by a young girl, wearing a Confucian crown, a red skirt, and a folding fan in her hand. But seeing that she is pure and beautiful, her appearance is beautiful, and she is a stunning beauty. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The girl walked towards Lord Zhizhou with small steps.

At this time, Ouyang Song had already left his seat and sat on the Taishi chair.

On the table next to the Taishi's chair is a tablet of Confucius. The painting hanging on the wall at the back is a portrait of Confucius receiving worship from his disciples. Apparently all for today's ceremony.

That girl was naturally Ouyang Song's daughter.

The girl bowed to her father first, and then Ouyang Song stood up and faced everyone with her daughter.

"This is the little girl, Ouyang Lanlan." Ouyang Song introduced to everyone.

"Junior, Lan Lan, greets your uncles." Ouyang Lanlan lowered her eyes, her long and dense eyelashes covered her eyelids, and bowed slightly to everyone.

Everyone nodded silently, which was considered a return gift.

At this time, Ma Gan was immediately stunned, his heart was turbulent, and he couldn't help but be excited. Unexpectedly, the appearance of this Zhizhou adult's daughter was no less than Lin Qingrou, and she still had a bookish aura on her body. But in terms of temperament, it is even a few points better than Lin Qingrou. What a beauty. If you can really marry her, it will be a beauty and status. Looking at it, he actually looked forward to the picture of marrying Ouyang Lanlan.

At this time, the magistrate and several other young people were also stupid. Who can not love such a beautiful and statusful woman?

Ma Shifan deliberately observed Ouyang Lanlan's appearance, and was very satisfied, and immediately made up his mind that he would let the matchmaker come to ask for marriage tomorrow, so as not to be preempted by others. If you marry Lord Zhizhou, you will greatly improve your status in Meizhou City in the future, and even all the way to Chengdu Mansion. is so anxious because he sees the mind of the county.

At this time, two young men dressed as Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty stood in front of the desk, one holding incense and the other holding a book. Ouyang Song walked to the back of the hall, and came out with his wife's hand in a moment. Everyone in the hall got up to greet Madame.

The lady returned the salute, and everyone took their seats. Then, Ouyang Song and his wife sat on the Taishi chairs on both sides.

Liu Yong looked over, Ouyang Song's wife was about forty years old, with white skin and bright eyes, an indifferent expression, and a beautiful woman. Then, a maid walked over with Ouyang Lanlan in her arms, first worshiped her parents, then took the incense in one person's hand, lit it, bowed three times and bowed to Confucius's tablet, and then offered incense. Finally, the other person handed the scroll in his hand to Ouyang Lanlan, who opened it and read a page, closed it, and put the book in front of the Confucius tablet. Bow three times and bow nine times again, which is considered to have completed the coming-of-age ceremony.

There was a burst of congratulations below. Then there was a quiet discussion, saying that Lord Ouyang's daughter is a great beauty!
