Today's dinner was very small.

Because Jia Qing didn't send an invitation out, all the people who came knew the news and spontaneously came to congratulate them. Originally, Jia Qing didn't want to trouble, but recently, he had eaten too many wine banquets. It's just that others come with hospitality, no matter what, they still have to be received.

Fortunately, most of the mansions that have made good friends with Ning Guofu only sent congratulatory posts and gifts, and only more than a dozen juniors and housekeepers from various provinces came, plus more than a dozen children of the clan, and it was not too troublesome to have a few tables.

Jia Qing was drinking with Xie Guowei and Feng Ziying, when suddenly Lai Sheng came to report: The people from the Li Fan Yuan are here.

Feng Ziying and others were surprised: "Most of the Li Fan Yuan are Qing noble literati, and Brother Jia has not yet entered the court as an official, how can he still have a relationship with the people of the Li Fan Yuan?" ”

Jia Qing didn't know either, and ordered Lai Sheng to invite people in, and then said, "I don't know the people from the Li Domain......

But the visitor is a guest, just come in and have a drink or two! ”

After a while, Lai Sheng took a few people into the banquet hall, Jia Qing smiled when he saw the person coming, and left his seat to greet him: "It turned out that the noble golden retriever prince came, and he never greeted him from afar, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful......

It was the Golden Retriever Prince, who walked in accompanied by an official of the Imperial Court.

The golden retriever was dissatisfied: "Jia, please don't say such polite words to me.

I treat you as a friend, and friends don't need to be so polite!

It's been almost half a year since I came to Dachu, and I don't have a friend yet, so I'm lonely. You helped me last time, and besides, you're a very interesting and smart person, I like you a lot, and I want to be friends with you......"

The others listened to the golden retriever's confession to Jia Qing and showed a weird smile on their faces. Jia Qing also couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted:

"Okay, Prince Ale, the golden retriever, I have accepted this friend of yours, please take a seat......"

When the golden retriever heard this, he was very happy and said:

"No, you listen to me. I heard that today is your big day, and I came to congratulate you. Now that we're friends, I have a gift for you, and you must accept it. ”

Jia Qing was a little curious, and he didn't care about what he was happy or not, and asked, "Oh, what is it, take it out and take a look?" ”

The golden retriever mysteriously took a rectangular box from the attendant behind him and opened it.

"Yikes!"

The few people who stood on the sidelines couldn't help but take a step back. After Guy Jin Retriever opened the box, a pistol seven or eight inches long and purple-red throughout, no, it should be said that the fire gun was lying quietly on the golden cloth inside the box.

The golden retriever seemed to be very satisfied with his firecracker, and when he saw Xie Guowei and the others retreating, he said proudly: "There is no ammunition in it, so please don't be afraid, friends." ”

Xie Guowei and the others were useless when they heard this, and stepped forward again.

Fire guns, they don't recognize it.

The Golden Retriever continued: "This is a gift from my father, the great Peter the Great, to me, and in the Russian Empire each of our princes has only one hand! How's that, Jia, do you like it? ”

Jia Qing kept frowning. He thinks a little more than the others.

It is not that Dachu does not have muskets, but due to many factors such as slow loading, easy to misfire, inconvenient use (afraid of water), short range (far inferior to standard bows and arrows) and many other factors, the army has hardly been equipped with firearms.

So far, Da Chu's army is still almost all cold weapons.

And look at this firearm again, although I don't know how the performance is, but looking at its fine workmanship, I'm afraid it is not comparable to Da Chu.

Ning Guofu started with military merits, and there are still all kinds of combat weapons in the ancestral hall, among them, there are two spears.

Jia Qing secretly took it and looked at it, then, maybe it can only be called a shotgun!

Now, Jia Qing only hopes that after nearly a hundred years of changes, Da Chu's firearms can be more mature. Jia Qing knows that the era of cold weapons dominating war is really not long ago.

Turning these thoughts in his mind, Jia Qing smiled and said: "Like is like, it's just too precious, and it's your coming-of-age ceremony, I don't dare to accept it!" ”

Hearing that Jia Qing liked it, the golden retriever immediately showed a smile on his face and said, "Jia, you are out again!" Aren't we friends? What is there to dare not accept a gift from a friend! ”

Perhaps because of the cultural differences, everyone in the hall could easily see that the golden retriever was indeed happy because the gift he gave was satisfied by the owner. Some people think: Isn't it just a firecracker, what's so strange, this doesn't look like the style of the second master!

Jia Qing smiled: "So, thank you friends for your kindness!" ”

After saying that, he asked Lai Sheng to put it away, and the golden retriever hurriedly said, "Wait, the ammunition is here." Handing Lai Sheng a box, the golden retriever turned around and said to Jia Qing: "It's not very useful, it's all for fun, and I occasionally use it to beat rabbits." It's just that I haven't tried it yet......"

The golden retriever speaks Chinese very slowly and not very clearly, and many people are already very impatient after listening to it for a long time, but they just don't make a sound. So Jia Qing interrupted the golden retriever with a smile and said:

"Please take a seat, the wine is already cold."

Then he said to the official of the Imperial Court who accompanied the golden retriever, "This lord is also invited to take a seat." ”

The official smiled and said, "General Jia doesn't need to be polite, just go down to the official and take care of himself." ”

As he spoke, he did not go to the main table, but found a seat at the other table.

Jia Qing doesn't force it, ordinary officials are indeed not distinguished guests in the Jia family.

Led the golden retriever forward. Xie Guowei had already given up the position of the main position and sat next to him. No matter what kind of feeling the golden retriever is in his heart, in the end, he is the prince of a country, and with his courtesy, he will naturally not pretend to be superior.

So Jia Qing directly let the golden retriever sit on the second seat. It's not that Jia Qing doesn't know how to be polite and respectful, but he is afraid that the golden retriever is not familiar with the Central Plains culture, if he lets him sit in the main seat, he can't say that the golden retriever will really sit on it......

In the end, Jia Qing sat down as the proprietor.

A maid had already scalded the wine and brought it up again, and the play that had been rested on the opposite side of the hall was also restarted.

There are many maids in the hall, everyone drinks and laughs, and through the five open doors and the drizzle, you can also see the singers on the opposite stage singing, but the lights of the nobles of Dachu are full of wine, drunkenness, and gold fans.

The golden retriever prince sighed with emotion: "Jia, your family is so rich!" My palace in the southern part of the empire is not as good as your home! ”

Jia Qing smiled. Although the Golden Retriever may have subjective thoughts such as "the moon in foreign countries is relatively round", he also knows that the development of foreign humanities and culture is far inferior to that of the Central Plains. What's more, the century-old prosperity of Great Chu has developed it to the peak on the original basis.

A royal mansion is comparable to the palace of a foreign prince, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"You're laughing...... Actually, I would like to see your great Peter the Great's palace, I don't know how powerful it is. Jia Qingdao.

The golden retriever said happily: "Then I will invite you to our Russia as a guest in the future, how about I take you to see?" It's just that it's a long, long way to go, and besides, it's very cold in our place, Jia, I'm afraid your body can't do it......"

Before Jia Qing could get angry, the golden retriever said with a slight loss: "Actually, I have only been in my father's palace a few times, not only me, many of our brothers, when they were very young, they had to be assigned to various places in Russia, and my father said that it was to prevent us from losing the blood of heroes." ”

Jia Qing was amused, and said in his heart: How come you don't see bloody people like you? It's very docile.

While he was talking, Lai Sheng quietly walked over and whispered to Jia Qing: "The old lady in Xifu is here, and the eldest grandmother asks the second master to take the time to go in......
