The main gate of the Xiyang County Mansion was wide open, and the Xiyang County Gongyu Wenwen and his wife Wei Chi Chifan greeted the distinguished guests at the door, and the streets outside the door were heavily guarded, and the idle people had long since disappeared.

The imperial court sent the envoy to Shannan on the return journey, and his father-in-law, Chi Shun, the public lieutenant of Angu County, returned to Yecheng together, and the envoy sent by Shannan also went by the way, in order to facilitate Yu Chi Shun to visit his daughter Yu Chi Chifan, so he deliberately 'passed' Xiyang City today.

As the assassin of Bazhou, as well as the envoy to Yecheng, Yu Wenwen set up a banquet in the mansion, feasted all the distinguished guests to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and the team of people and horses were arranged to stay in the newly built building in the suburbs of the north of the city.

Xiyang City originally had a building to usher in, and Yuwenwen in the expansion of the city at the same time, re-built a new building in the northern suburbs of the city, specially used for official reception, but also as the façade of Bazhou, completed in March, now just come in handy.

The brigade that stayed in the hall was received by Changshi Ren Chong, Bei Xu Shao, and Zhizhong Hao Wubo, while Sima Yangji was responsible for the city defense, commanding the state soldiers to be on duty at night so that no one would take the opportunity to make trouble.

Wei Chishun's wife and little daughter had already entered the city to visit relatives first, and the distinguished guests were resting in the pavilion for a while, and Yuwenwen sent a carriage to take them to the mansion for a banquet.

Set up a banquet at home, the couple pours wine, toasts, and discusses with the guests, which is the most important etiquette, and the banquet in the wine shop is always a little worse, not only that, but Yuwenwen and his wife also personally welcome the guests at the gate to show their grandeur.

He wants to fight for some light for himself, and by the way, he also helps his father-in-law Wei Chishun to support the façade, and there are no big names in Bazhou on weekdays, and the couple came out to welcome them together It is the first scene.

As the main room, it is the duty of Wei Chi Chifan to receive guests who come to the door with his husband.

"Look at you, your eyes are swollen from crying, and when my father-in-law saw it, he thought I was bullying you." Yu Wenwen said with a smile, Yu Chi Chi had just met his mother, and his eyes were slightly swollen from crying under the mixture of joy and sorrow.

"It's the concubine's rudeness" Wei Chi Chi said that she didn't control her emotions all of a sudden, and it was thanks to her mother's reminder that she didn't make it too ugly, and she covered up the past with makeup.

"I have been in Bazhou for nearly two years, and I can let the two of you come out to receive guests together, today is the first time, and I am really a little panicked. Yu Wenwen tried to liven up the atmosphere and not make his wife too nervous.

While the two were talking, a number of four-wheeled carriages slowly drove in under the escort, and the distinguished guests got off in turn, and after a greeting, Yuwenwen and his wife welcomed the guests into the house and sat down.

"The envoy came to the humble house, and the lower officials were terrified, so they did it first!" Yuwenwen first toasted to the imperial envoy Cui Da, who secretly went to Shannan last year, and the two of them had a 'deal', and they could be regarded as acquaintances.

"Yuwen envoy Jun is too polite, Cui passed by Bazhou a few days ago and was unable to visit, please forgive me." Cui Da's posture is also very low, this trip to Shannan is considered to be smooth, he is also in a good mood, and Yuwenwen clinked glasses and drank it all.

Yuwenwen has multiple identities, that is, he is the second son of the Great Zhou clan, and the second son of Yuwenliang, the Daxingtai of Shannan Province, and the son-in-law of Wei Chishun.

Cui Da knew that this Yuwen Erlang was notoriously out of tune, in case which string was wrong, thinking that he was negligent in his words and deeds, and if he didn't attack here, it would be bad if he deliberately made something happen in Yecheng.

Yuwen Wen toasted a circle of wine, and Wei Chi Chifan followed with a circle of wine, among the 'old men' present, except for Wei Chishun, the Duchess of Xiyang County who poured the wine himself was a little cramped.

According to legend, the Duchess of Xiyang County looks like a fairy, and now she is worthy of her reputation when she sees a real person!

"It is worthy of the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, the Duke of Shu has a good granddaughter, the Duke of Angu County has a good daughter, and Yuwen has a good wife." Cui Da praised that he was born in a famous family and was a child of a family, although he was shocked by Wei Chi's beauty, his words and deeds were still decent.

"The envoy praised it, my grandfather is in Yecheng, thanks to the help of the envoy and many loyal people, this time my father went to Yecheng, and asked the envoy to take care of it." Wei Chi Chi replied, "The concubine will give you another glass of wine." ”

Cui Da said "don't dare to be", drank all the wine in the cup, Yuwenwen led his wife back to his seat after toasting, and now the status here is higher than him, not to mention the chief and deputy envoys of the imperial court, the father-in-law is naturally on top, and the accompanying Huangzhou governor Shi is the boss.

And Zheng Wanqing, the deputy envoy who also sent an envoy to Yecheng, was the left servant of Shannan Dao, and he was also his boss.

"Today, some side dishes have been prepared in the house, and you are smiling at the poor countryside of Bazhou." Yu Wenwen said, Li Sanjiu, the housekeeper standing at the door, waved gently, and the maids rushed in, putting plates of carefully prepared dishes on everyone's desks.

In order to satisfy the guests, Yu Wenwen asked Wuwei Zhai to prepare a variety of specialty dishes, in addition to the 'famous' Dongpo meat, sauce elbow, a variety of signature dishes are also a lot, and there are good wines to help the fun, and the guests are all happy.

The dishes at the feast are not precious and rare, but they are dishes that have not been seen elsewhere, and the ingredients are more common but the taste is good.

After three rounds of drinking, Cui Da was very interested, Yuwen Wen entertained him well, but somehow it was missing, and he didn't think so much about opening his mouth and asked: "Yuwen Envoy, is there a trick in the house?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Chi Chifan looked at her husband tightly in her heart, and sure enough, Yu Wenwen's ears moved, and Yu Chi Shun, who was sitting next to Cui Da, also looked at Yu Wenwen and reached out to get the wine glass to prepare to save the scene.

Yu Wenwen's ears move when he is emotional, which is a characteristic of Yu Chi Chi Fan's summary of his husband, and Wei Chishun knows that his son-in-law is a little 'weird', and unlike people, the house never supports family tricks.

If the lord of the Lang banquets the guests, he has to accompany the guests to drink and have fun, if the lord of the Lang is hospitable, the house trick will accompany the guests to sleep.

If the lord of the Lang is favored and gives birth to a son, the family can be promoted to a concubine, but it is not much better, because the status of the concubine is not high, and sometimes the family and the concubine are not very clearly distinguished, so if there is no family player when drinking and having fun, it is natural for the concubine to come out to accompany the wine.

This is different from the main room, which is also present, where the main room is used as the hostess and the male host to entertain guests, while the housekeeper and the concubine are entertaining people with sex, which are completely different things.

But if Yu Wenwen and the two come out to accompany the wine, Wei Chishun is afraid that his son-in-law will be mad, to be honest, Cui Da is not rude to ask, because this is a commonplace thing, but it may not be for Yu Wenwen.

"The envoy doesn't know." Yu Wenwen said, his face was as usual, "The lower officials are not good at singing and dancing, and there is no house trick in the house." ”

Yu Chishun coughed dryly, leaned sideways and whispered beside Cui Da that the girl had no way, the other party was not a fool, he could hear that there was a tigress 'making trouble', and he didn't have to ask Yu Wenwen to let the family or concubine come out to accompany the wine, but it was like this when all families were at banquets on weekdays, so it was a little strange.

"Come on, come on, the envoy drinks, drinks, and listens to too many songs and dances, and it's annoying." Zheng Wanqing picked up the wine glass and toasted, and from the moment he entered the door, he secretly stared at Yuwenwen, for fear that something would happen to this Erlangjun, Yuwenxingtai told him to take care of it, and not let Yuwenwen

At the banquet, he also felt that something was wrong, there was no family trick to sing and dance to accompany the wine at such a grand banquet, and of course it was not necessary to play this tune, so Zheng Wanqing didn't take it to heart, but Cui Da found out that something was wrong as soon as he asked.

The Duchess of Xiyang County was very nervous, that is, the main lord's mood was a little bad, but fortunately he didn't show it, and the Duke of Angu County didn't know what to say to ease the scene, so he hurried out to save the scene.

After another round of wine, Yu Wenwen returned to his seat, his mood calmed down, he invited a guest in the house, and almost made a fuss to ask the two side rooms to come out to accompany the wine, if he hadn't thought of this possibility in advance, he really couldn't help it.

In ancient times, the status of concubines was very low, and they were not even regarded as people, and it was common for concubines to be sent around as items, but this was not good for Yuwenwen, because his women would never allow others to touch them!

'Accompany the wine? If you knew that it was Yang Jian's daughter who accompanied the wine, that is, the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, and the other was the princess of Liang Guo, would you be so frightened that you bit your tongue! ’……

In the backyard study, Yu Wenwen, who was almost drunk, was lying on the couch to sober up, the feast had dispersed, his father-in-law's family stayed in the house, and the other distinguished guests took a carriage out of the city and returned to the hall to rest.

Wei Chi Chi had to have a long talk with his mother and sister, so Yu Wenwen's bed on her side was gone, so she could only go to the study to sober up and 'make plans' first.

"Husband, the soup is warm." Xiao Jiuniang said softly, sitting next to the couch with a bowl of decanting soup, Yuwenwen sat up and took the soup bowl and drank it all.

"Is the slave asleep? Jiu Niang is not going to be tired. Yu Wenwen was a little heartbroken, Xiao Jiuniang still had to take her daughter, although she had the help of the nurse, she was also very tired, but he was about to go on a long trip, Xiao Jiuniang was very reluctant, and she was helping to do things by her side these days.

"Huannu has already slept, Sister Xiao can't rest assured that her husband is here, so she specially prepared a sobering soup." Yang Lihua was talking next to her, she was sorting out her clothes and preparing her husband's luggage as she spoke.

Yu Wenwen smiled self-deprecatingly, saying that the lakeside courtyard was about to be completed, and he wanted to accompany everyone to live for a few days to relax, but he didn't expect to go far away.

"The autumn is cool and just right to travel, so don't worry about the concubine." Xiao Jiuniang said, but her eyes were a little red, obviously reluctant to give up, Yuwen Wen didn't care what the 'onlookers' thought, and took the beautiful woman into her arms and kept it.

Yu Wenwen does not have a formal separate bedroom in the mansion, and the couch in the backyard study is where he can make do with the night, of course, the premise is that the three wives and concubines all hang up the war-free card, and the nightlife of the Xiyang County Mansion is also very monotonous.

Accustomed to all kinds of sound and light singing and dancing effects in the 21st century, as well as all kinds of popular dances, Yu Wenwen is basically not interested in most songs and dances in this era, and he is not in the mood to appreciate them, so the house does not have family tricks for entertainment.

He was very busy, dealing with state affairs on weekdays, going to the barracks to inspect when he had time, or leading soldiers out to cut people, talking with his family when he was at home, and after dinner, he had to take time to reminisce in the study and write all kinds of unspeakable modern knowledge, and then 'ploughing the land', where he had time to watch singing and dancing or drink heavily.

But in this era, it is very common for the family to accompany the wine, in this period when the family gate valve is the mainstream, the children of the family travel with the family to help the fun, that is really fun.

A group of wealthy gentlemen who are fashionable to exude naked, or smoked clothes and shaved faces, play in the mountains and rivers while knocking on five stones, a large group of people play housework to exchange new postures with each other, play to the head of the head or even have an exchange, this kind of erosive life is very popular.

So when you are entertaining guests in the mansion, the other party will definitely wonder why there is no housekeeper to accompany the wine, Yuwenwen is already ready in his heart, but when he is really asked, he is still angry: There is no housekeeper who is naturally a concubine, but for him, it is not good.

"Alas, is it necessary to raise some housekeeping in the mansion to be lively" Yuwen Wen sighed, he naturally has a lot of things to do, but the daily entertainment of his wives and concubines is pitiful, and now he thinks about it carefully, and he feels that his husband is quite incompetent.

"If the husband is not in the mansion, where are the concubines interested in watching singing and dancing, not to mention that they all have small ones to take care of now." Yang Lihua said with a smile, "But if the husband wants to entertain guests, it is always a little inappropriate not to sing and dance." ”

She had already heard about the things at the banquet just now, her husband did not practice herself, she was very happy in her heart, although Yu Wenwen had said in advance that she would never let this kind of thing happen, but Yang Lihua was still a little uneasy.

The status of the concubine is very low, although the limelight of the concubine can even overpower the main room, but there will always be a day of old age and decay, when the favor is no longer or the man loses interest in the concubine, even if he gives birth to a son, he will be kicked out of the house, let alone to accompany the wine and pleasure the guests.

She didn't dare to imagine what it would be like for her to go to drink with a smile on her face, and how she would deal with herself if the other party made a move.

Being a concubine is like walking on thin ice, once it is given away as a thing, she has no choice but to commit suicide to avoid humiliation, her mother has always said that men take concubines is a great crime, but who else can there be in this world who does not take concubines except for the father.

Yu Wenwen groaned, Bazhou's social circle is very small, and there are not many officials who are guests to eat in his mansion, except for Xu Shao and Hao Wubo, who are their own people, that is, Changshi Ren Chong, who occasionally comes to the door, of course, Yang Ji is different.

The rest of the officials are all in the state government to talk to him about things, if it is just the right time, there will be an official chef to prepare the meal, as for all kinds of people and non-official people to socialize, they are all carried out in Wuwei Zhai, so it doesn't matter whether there is a house in the house to accompany the wine.

"But Wuwei Zhai can be considered," Yu Wenwen muttered to himself, in the 'high-end' requirement, Wuwei Zhai doesn't have any kabuki, so this time I can't borrow anyone who wants to borrow it temporarily, as for the kind of village girl in other wine shops, it's exempt.

"Breadwinner? It's better to spend that money and food than to raise a few more guards" (to be continued.) )
