Seventy years old is rare, and if you can live at the age of seventy, you will have a long life.

Although the Zheng family has suffered a huge setback recently, the old official Zheng's birthday still has to be done, not only to do it, but also to do it beautifully.

When Zheng An was sixty years old, in addition to feasting guests in the mansion, the flowing water banquet at the door was eaten for a month. Now that he is 70 years old, it will naturally not be worse than the birthday of the sixtieth birthday.

I think about it ten years ago, when Empress Zheng had not yet been sealed, she was just a virtuous concubine, and she was already very beautiful.

Therefore, no matter how the Zheng family was defeated in the well-known battle of food shortage, and how they secretly suffered in this unknown Baizi Medicine Incident, this big birthday is an opportunity for the Zheng family to correct their name in Jiangning City, and an opportunity to raise their eyebrows.

Even if you, Wang Xie, have been entrenched in Jiangning for hundreds of years, and your family wealth is tens of millions; Even if your Zhao family is a relative of the Great Song Dynasty and a nobleman of Tianhuang; In front of the official family, who can really get close to the official family, who can really get the favor of the official family, who can compare with the Zheng family in the land south of the Yangtze River?

The Zheng family began to prepare a few days ago, and the entire square in front of the door was dotted with greenhouses, full of tables and chairs, and there was an endless stream of people doing work. It's just a birthday banquet, but it has to be so exciting, just because there are too many people who come to congratulate......

On the official side, not to mention that the officials of Jiangnan East Road will come more or less, Guangjiang Ning Mansion from the prefect Wang Han below, more than ten officials above the seventh grade will come to say goodbye, plus other officials, large and small, I am afraid that there will be more than 100 people. This is not a big deal, there are also big households, squires, wealthy businessmen on the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, and even those who came from Liangzhejiang Road, Fujian Road, Huainan Road and other places to congratulate them, and brought their entourage and family members, I am afraid that there are at least two or three thousand people.

Coupled with relatives and friends, celebrities in Jiangning Mansion, five hundred tables are indispensable.

The Zhao Mansion, the Wang Mansion and the Xie Mansion were naturally among the five hundred tables, but with their status in Jiangning, they also had to be treated as guests, and it was impossible to squeeze in the square in front of the door.

On this day that shook the entire Jiangning City, although Zhao Hao was unhappy, it was inconvenient to disobey his mother's wishes, so he had to get up early, wash and change clothes, have breakfast, and go out with his father.

This time, the Zhao Mansion was dispatched, and the pomp was not simple.

In front, Zhao Ling led seven or eight elite generals, and twenty or thirty strong house slaves rode horses to open the way.

In the middle are two richly decorated carriages, one for Zhao Shixuan and one for Zhao Hao.

Later, there were more than 20 family slaves riding horses. Then there were a few carts full of gifts, and dozens of house slaves carrying burdens.

This time, Xie Yun can be regarded as having worked hard, and the financial gift is worth three thousand yuan, which is six times more than the five hundred yuan ten years ago.

Actually, not only Zhao Hao knows that this kind of overthrow is meaningless, Xie Yun doesn't know, it's just that his baby son has been making too much trouble recently, so he just wants peace of mind.

As for whether the Zheng family appreciates it or not, that's another matter.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the gift giver, not to mention that it is the Zheng family's birthday, I don't believe that the Zheng family can still treat Zhao Hao at the birthday banquet, but even so, Xie Yun still kept an eye on it and brought out all the brave generals in the mansion in case of accidents.

It's just that Zhao Hao knows that there is basically no difference between giving these 3,000 yuan gifts and not giving them.

Let's not talk about the Yiya Conference, I went to a restaurant worth ten thousand yuan in the Zheng family.

The battle of the food shortage cost the Zheng family 800,000 yuan of money, and the so-called cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, this revenge is already a mortal enemy, and it is inextricable.

Now that he is ruining his life-sustaining elixir, it is simply the life of Zheng An's old ghost, this is simply an enmity that does not share the sky, how can it be reduced by half a point?

However, he has a system in hand, and the Zheng family is not a Longtan tiger's den, and the birthday banquet is not a Hongmen banquet.

So although Zhao Hao knew that Zheng Mansion was not a good place, he didn't have any pressure in his heart, and his mood was very comfortable - thinking about the old ghost Zheng An who was about to see both people and money, of course he was comfortable in his heart.

Besides, he hadn't seen that old ghost yet, but he wanted to see what this old knife handle that was both black and white in Jiangnan looked like.

Zhao Hao was lying comfortably in the carriage, closing his eyes and recuperating, humming a small tune in his mouth, and when he looked very comfortable, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but open the curtains, and was about to ask, but saw the figure of Fang Qifo disappear in a flash, disappearing into the crowd watching the bustle on both sides of the street.

Then, he saw another Dao Master following closely behind Fang Qifo and following into the crowd, and he didn't realize that a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Don't quit the Taoist!

Immediately afterwards, Liang Lie, a fat slave who followed beside the carriage, handed over a secret letter of fire paint and handed it to Zhao Hao.

The secret letter of the Seven Buddhas!

In the secret letter, there are only two lines.

"Zheng Fu forced more than a dozen colostrum mothers to enter the house and eat human milk every day to continue their lives."

I'll you...... This old ghost is really corrupt and shameless!

It seems that this old guy wants to prolong his life and wants to go crazy, he uses any bullshit recipe, he knew that he brought some Sanlu milk powder on his body before crossing, and gave it to Ya as a birthday gift, telling him that he could live forever, wouldn't it be wonderful?

When he saw the second line of words, Zhao Hao's face changed instantly.

"The Salt Gang has issued a must-kill order, if you want to get rid of the son quickly, be careful in everything, remember!"

I...... !

*********

Before the Zheng Mansion, there was a sea of people, and in the Zheng Mansion, there was also an endless stream of guests, and it was overcrowded.

Of course, there are more than 500 tables, but the order is different, and it is divided into four classes.

There are only more than 20 tables in the upper class, all of which are in the main hall of the Zheng family, and the dishes are extremely exquisite and luxurious.

The shark fin, from the materials to the workmanship, are the best, and it is made by the famous chef of Jingshi Taihe Building, the color, aroma and taste are made to the extreme, and only these most distinguished guests can taste it.

Regarding the arrival of the Zhao family, the Zheng Mansion didn't seem to have too much abnormality, except for the housekeeper Li Gang's expression was slightly gloomy, the rest of the people didn't show any different expressions, and even if they did, they were stunned.

It's just that Zhao Hao felt a hint of coolness deeply.

The housekeeper Li Gang has a good impression of him 0.

Zheng Qing, Zheng Hong, Zheng Feng, Zheng Yu and others also have a good impression of him.

Especially when he met unexpectedly, and collided with Yin Yi, who was responsible for maintaining order, he obviously felt the thick murderous intent emanating from his opponent.

This kind of killing machine was also perceived by Zhao Ling, who was accompanying him, and when he stretched out his hand to the hidden weapon bag in his arms, he was ready to go.

Fortunately, Yin Yi was busy living, so he just snorted and hurried away.

Zhao Hao and Zhao Shixuan were also arranged to the top seats, but they were not at the same table. Zhao Shixuan is an official from the fifth grade, and he is also a clan, so naturally he is with Wang Hanzhi and others from the Jiangning prefect, plus a few senior members of the fourth and fifth grades on Jiangnan Road, sitting in the seat of the old birthday star, which is the upper seat in the superior seat, which is an honor that Wang Tong and Xie Wen cannot enjoy.

But Zhao Hao was at the same table with Zheng Yu, Zheng Feng, Wang Jue, Xie Yu and others, as well as a few sons of four or five big families, everyone knew and didn't know, and they all exchanged pleasantries.

Zheng Yu and Zheng Feng were two fools, but they couldn't avoid sneering at Zhao Hao, but Zhao Hao just smiled slightly, and didn't care, only chatted with Xie Yu and Wang Jue.

The conversation was not about other topics, but about the humanistic customs that the three of them saw when they went to Luzhou City more than a month ago, the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River night boat, and the heroic generosity of driving two hundred grain ships home.

Hearing Zheng Feng and Zheng Yu's teeth, they were helpless.

After chatting about the trip to Jiangbei, I talked about the grand event of Xie Yu's five doors and three first, Zhao Hao's first and fourth three branches when recruiting relatives that day, and ravaged Zheng Yu and Zheng Feng brothers again.

The other sons didn't know each other very well, so they had to quietly watch Jiang Ning Sanshao pretending to be forced.

In fact, for Zhao Hao, Zheng Yu and Zheng Feng are already vulnerable opponents, and he doesn't take them seriously at all, but he likes to watch the two brothers look deflated but helpless...... Zhao Hao sometimes felt that he was simply too bad.

However, as the time for the opening of the banquet got closer and closer, Zhao Hao's heart was also slightly excited.

The old knife handle, known as the black and white way of Jiangnan, is finally about to appear......

It's just that when the old man Zheng An really appeared in front of Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao couldn't help but be disappointed.

The mastermind behind this grain shortage case and the Baizi Medicine case is gorgeous, with white hair and beard, and a bit of fairy wind bones, but in a pair of eagle eyes, it is domineering and leaking, and the divine light is blazing, which is daunting, but in Zhao Hao's eyes, it is a different scene.

"Zheng An, force: 67; Intelligence: 65; Speed: 25; Politics: 28; Command: 85; Health: 36; Host's Opinion: 0. ”

This old ghost is seventy years old, and he is sick, and he can still use 67 arms, but I can imagine how he could cut and kill back then...... It's just that in Zhao Hao's eyes, no matter how domineering this guy is, how powerful he is in Jiangnan and black and white, he is already a dying man.

The health value is 36, which is about the same as since he first crossed, and he can die at any time...... The time of death is near, and it will not be long before the dry bones in the grave are gone!

Zheng An didn't find out where Zhao Hao was, but what Zhao Hao didn't know was that the old ghost glanced at Zhao Shixuan gloomily, and he was shocked that his cheap father had goosebumps on his back.

Finally, the banquet officially began, and for a while, the hall was staggered, and the sound of joy was like a tide, so it was not lively.

Compared with Zhao Shixuan, who is sitting on pins and needles, Zhao Hao is very happy.

It may be because Jiang Ning Sanshao joined forces to pretend to be forced before the banquet, which made the other sons respect the three of them, and toasted one after another, intending to make friends, but they ignored Zheng Feng and Zheng Yu.

Seeing that the away game of Major General Jiang Ning became the home field, the faces of the Zheng family brothers turned green.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Qing and other celebrities in Jiangning presented poems to the old man Zheng An to celebrate his birthday, and one by one, good sentences were written on rice paper, and they were hung up for everyone to enjoy, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached a climax.

Suddenly, Zheng Yu stood up and said loudly: "Brother Zhao is a young man, literary and charming, poetry and songs, the crown of Jiangning, today coincides with the birthday of the ancestor of the family, and I also ask Brother Zhao to leave a poem to celebrate the birthday of the ancestor!" ”

At this time, it was a relatively dull period, Zheng Yu shouted, and everyone focused their attention on Zhao Hao.

At this moment, Zhao Hao's mood, a thousand words, is only gathered into one word:!

This is obviously a pitfall...... Writing well is flattery, without temperance, and writing badly will break face.

Zhao Hao just wants to talk about MMP...... This son is a dignified Song clansman, a nobleman in Tianhuang, the first genius in Jiangnan, and the first handsome guy in Jiangning...... Why do you write birthday poems for your old ghost?

It's just that in front of everyone's eyes, how can you shirk it?
