The wine banquet of the Gu family finally came in the expectation of more than 20,000 people in the manor, and there were many gossip about the wine banquet before, which spread between the front and back mountains.

One of the news, it is said that there will be a very grand welcome ceremony, and some people swear that they have seen the pro-guard battalion rehearsing the welcome ceremony, and the scene is really too majestic.

News two, for this banquet, the small officials of the ancient family, in addition to the blood sausage and sweet and sour pork ribs that came out in the past two days, personally made a few new dishes, and there was a person who helped in the ancient mansion, lucky to taste a piece of moldy vegetables and meat, came out to boast that it was simply the best taste in the world, and it caused many people to reverie.

……

In the morning, at the beginning of the morning, the people gathered in the Houshan market to watch the excitement could hear the sound of neat footsteps behind them, and then everyone saw two columns of members of the guard battalion, under the leadership of Zhou Jin and Chen Yun, the two captains, running over heroically.

"If it's really a guard battalion, this is the first battalion in the manor, and the petty officials really attach great importance to this banquet."

"But I don't know how to greet the Fa, follow and see."

The people who watched the excitement were immediately aroused, and everyone followed the team and rushed to the ancient mansion.

But I saw that I didn't know when there was a long red carpet in front of the ancient house. The two columns ran to the gate of the ancient house, and under Zhou Jin's command, they quickly separated the two rows, and stood straight on both sides of the red carpet with guns, like two rows of green pines.

In the middle of the day, guests began to come. Wen Huanzhang, as the only special guest, was coming side by side with Dr. Gao at this time.

"Stand upright! Salute! ”

With Zhou Jin's order, the two columns of team members beat their chests with their right hands and looked at the guests.

"How can the old man be so honored." Dr. Gao is well-informed, and he is also excited at the moment.

"The doctor saved the life, but he deserved it."

Wen Huanzhang said and took his arm, and the two of them slowly stepped on the red carpet under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, and Gu Haotian had already led someone to stand there at the gate to greet him.

Such a grand, majestic and peculiar welcome etiquette made people rare. Some of the guests who had never seen much of the world did not even dare to enter, especially some women. is like the daughter-in-law of Gao Erhu, before arriving at the red carpet, she hesitated for a while, but fortunately, Gu Haotian was already prepared, and asked Erniang to take a few female dependents to wait in the concierge to welcome these female guests.

"Tsk, tsk, this is also beautiful, when can you walk on this, it is worth dying."

"Hugh said that he was frustrated, but the management office said that this banquet is to be held every year, and next year to fight for the breath and do more things for the manor, maybe you can also get an invitation."

The onlookers talked a lot, their eyes were hot, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At noon, with a burst of firecrackers, the Gufu family banquet officially began. Gu Zhen, as the head of the family, made a simple but sincere and enthusiastic speech on behalf of the Gu family, and then the long-rumored delicacies came up one by one.

In addition to the boiling dishes such as pork blood sausage, sweet and sour pork ribs, and moldy vegetable button meat, there are also stir-fried pork liver, soybean pig's trotters, honey-flavored dried pork, pear pork lung soup, cold pork head meat, etc., all kinds of pig-related delicacies are dizzying and beautiful.

In the lobby of the ancient family, there are twelve tables of eight immortals, and two tables of female guests are set up in the back hall. A hundred guests plus escorts were just full. Gu Haotian was ingenious and ordered the twelve battalion commanders on the mountain to add wine to the guests at each table, which immediately made the guests at each table feel that their face had increased by three points.

The chief sat the father and son of the Gu family, Wen Huanzhang, Dr. Gao and some elders, and Bian Xiang became the chief candidate for wine.

"Uncle Ren, in the battle of Crouching Tiger Village, San Lang was killed, and you sent Shiro into the escort team again, and you have indeed worked hard for the manor, I salute you." Gu Haotian raised his glass and toasted an old man.

"The old man is ashamed, some small things are worthy of the favor of outsiders and petty officials."

This old man was originally a Hebei refugee, and after Saburo was killed, the manor did his best in the funeral and bereavement pension, and he was very grateful, and sent Shiro to the escort team. I received the invitation yesterday, and I was excited all night, but who knew that I would invite him to sit in the chief today. He was originally a lowly homeless person, even if a son died, but this is nothing among the homeless people whose life is like a mustard. But both the manor and the Gu family valued him, and he felt uneasy.

"Brother doesn't need to be polite, there are people on Liangshan who understand things like you, Haotian dares to do things boldly and reassuringly, and everyone will have a good life in the future!"

Gu Zhen saw that he was restrained, and praised him a few words, and then he picked up a big elbow and put it into his bowl, only to move Ren Laohan almost to tears.

Qin Sheng, as the combat hero of Crouching Tiger Village, is one of the hundred guests this time, but the wine sifter at this table is his old battalion commander Zhou Yunqing. Seeing the old leader standing in the corner of the table to add wine to him, he fidgeted, and got up several times to exchange with him, but he always broke his way.

"You just have to eat and drink in peace, there are eight or nine thousand people in the manor guards, why are you recommended to sit here? It is your deeds in the past year that you deserve such an honor, and you just need to remember who gave you this honor and how you should give it in the future. ”

Zhou Yunqing's table was all from the escort team, and he couldn't see that this guy was also a sensational person, but after he finished a few words, the table stood up with a glass under the leadership of Qin Sheng.

"I am willing to die for the petty officials!"

But they saw a table shouting together, and drank it all together.

The rest of the tables also looked the same, and they all raised their glasses to follow suit, but turned a good hospitality banquet into a loyalty conference, Wen Huanzhang was happy to see it, but Gu Haotian couldn't cry or laugh.

In the inner courtyard, Lee sat on the main seat, listening to the compliments of the women at the two tables, and there was an indescribable benefit in her heart, and the various surprises that her son had been creating in the past two years, especially the top three in Jeju Qiuyu, made her even more happy.

"The petty official has reached adulthood, and now that he has achieved fame, it is time to tell him a family matter, and then the eldest mother can also hold her grandson earlier." At this time, a woman proposed, and immediately all the women at the table also agreed.

"It's just that there is no suitable person for a while." Li was also very moved when he heard it.

Let's say that Pan Jinlian served behind the Li family and heard it clearly, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, she knew the relationship between Gu Haotian and Kong Yuhan, if anyone said anything, the Li family should accept it, wouldn't it be troublesome at that time. She thought about it, and whispered in Li's ear:

"The petty official has already fallen in love with a woman from a big family in Jeju a few days ago."

Li Shi was shocked when she heard this, she looked back at Pan Jinlian, and saw that she nodded seriously, knowing that there must be a reason, so she opened the topic at the table, and then took Pan Jinlian to the side room under the excuse of leaving the table.

"Jin Lian, what you just said is true." Lee asked.

"The petty official met a woman surnamed Kong in Jeju this time, as if the petty official had a life-saving grace for her before, but she was a relative of the Jeju Yan family, and her cousin was the first to be dismissed this time."

"What is the woman's appearance and temperament?"

"I look at her like a well-educated woman from a big family, she is beautiful and beautiful, and she is the same age as a small official."

Pan Jinlian thought back to the woman's appearance, but thinking that there would soon be another woman next to the little official, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Li Shi was sensitive to Pan Jinlian's mood change, and she smiled lightly.

"Jin Lian, Haotian is not a ruthless person, don't you know that you have been waiting for him for so long, I will definitely give you a name in the future, otherwise I will not do it, you can rest assured."

"I'm a maid, so dare to have these thoughts."

Pan Jinlian couldn't help but be shy when she saw through Li's thoughts, but she felt much more relieved because of Li's promise, because she wasn't worried about Gu Haotian, but she was afraid that his family would not accept it.

It took more than an hour for the banquet to end. The guests once again enjoyed the salute and red carpet treatment, but this time it may be the effect of alcohol, or it may be their own experience, and everyone is in high spirits and drifts away.

However, although the wine banquet of the ancient family is over, the excitement in various parts of the manor has just begun.

Before Gao Erhu's daughter-in-law arrived at the door, she was surrounded by the women of the neighborhood. Everyone inquired about the scene of the ancient family banquet. Erhu's daughter-in-law generously shared the gift bag and banquet sent by the Li family with everyone, and suddenly the rumored food and the benevolence of the ancient family were spread by these women all over the back mountain.

When the old man returned home, he was still dizzy, and the old brothers learned that he was actually sitting in the chief today, and the outsiders and petty officials had personally toasted, and they were all very envious.

But Ren Laohan called the fourth son who happened to be at home to him and solemnly gave an explanation.

"Huang'er, you know what the situation of our family used to be, you were born in the famine year, so you are called Huang'er, today at the banquet, I have the cheekiness to ask Mr. Wen to give you a good name, he said, you are now working under the petty officials, the good future you are asking for, you must remember the long way to go, so you took the heavy responsibility, you must remember the good of the petty officials and the people, do your best, don't embarrass the Ren family."

Similar dramas are playing out everywhere in the convoy. The fourth battalion of sailors, Fei Bao, as one of the twelve battalion commanders who were responsible for adding wine at the table today, also had a conversation with the second Ni Yun at this time.

"Second brother, today to participate in the ancient family banquet, my brother is very ashamed, the hundred guests are either the family members of the deceased, or the injured heroes, and some have made major contributions to the manor, two of my fourth battalion are actually given by the commander of the second battalion to take care of our brother's face. Even I, the battalion commander, compared with the others, also feel that the confidence is insufficient, and we still have to work harder, and we Taihu men must not lose to others. ”

"What my brother said is very true, the key now is that we must train our soldiers well, otherwise when it is our turn to come out, we will not be able to shine, and then it will only increase the joke. I heard that Li Bao, the deputy commander of the new battalion, is an expert in naval warfare, and I think that the junior officer thinks that in the future, the way out for sailors will be in the sea, so we will invite Battalion Commander Li Bao and let him help guide and give advice. ”

The brothers had planned this time, but they could not have imagined that they had found a correct development path for the Fourth Battalion, making the Fourth Battalion one of the earliest maritime sailor battalions in Liangshan.

Gu Haotian didn't notice the various changes that appeared on the mountain. After the banquet, he and Wen Huanzhang and others rushed to the conference room of Zhonghua Hall for a meeting. The New Year is approaching, Xiao Jiasui and Xiao Rang Du Qian After a few days of busyness, the initial reward plan has come out, which needs to be reviewed as soon as possible, and then the candidates will be determined and announced at the right time.
