Chapter 369: A Cheerful Feast
"Meet the Governorβ"
In the lantern-lit courtyard, on both sides of the stone steps under the eaves of the burning copper tripod, the figures outlined by the flames shouted neatly towards Gongsun Zhi, who was sitting on the tiger skin chair, Gongsun Zhi is now thirty years old, and since practicing the five bird operas, the body has become more and more visible, so in the cold spring season, there are fewer than ordinary people, but the cover makes his original tall figure appear more powerful.
"Hahaha......"
On the big chair, Gongsun Zhi patted his knees, then raised it again, and waved his hand to everyone in the courtyard with a smile, "Today's New Year's Banquet, don't be so polite, let go of eating and drinking, even if you have something, you have to wait until you are full of food and drink before talking." As he spoke, his gaze swept over the faces of every figure in the courtyard, and Cao Ang took Yun Niang to sit with Wu Anguo and the family; Dian Wei's family of three and Pan Feng, Yan Rou, Su Ren....... in fact, if each table is different, his lineage and Youzhou's lineage can be described as distinct, except for Zou Dan, who guarded Yanmen Pass, could not leave, Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Ji, as well as Shan Jing, Tian Kai, Zhao Yun, Tian Yu and other generals sat at a few tables, and Li Ru sat next to Xu Rong, as for Guo Yan, who stayed in Yanmen Pass, it seems that Xiliang is much thinner.
Of course, there are also officials of all sizes in the city, as well as the Taishou of other counties and counties are also listed in the banquet, so many people, even many of them can't be named, aside from Huaxiong and Gaosheng, who guarded Gowon County and Dingyang County, in a sense, Gongsun Zhi's power has become more and more fearful.
Half a ring, as everyone sat down again, the maids who passed the dishes approached each table from all sides one after another, and when the excitement sounded again, Gongsun Zhi looked at the side of a seat that had been empty, took the wine bowl and saluted there, raised his head and drank it all.
After dusk, a lantern was lit, the children ate two bites at random and ran through the corridor with their acquaintances, and there were latecomers outside who were on their way to arrive, and some arrived in time to hand over the roster, and soon they were invited in by Jian Shuo with a smiling face.
Walking to the courtyard where the banquet was held, the voices of drinking and laughing, shouting, and noisy were all noisy and mixed together, dozens of tables were full of dishes, wine and meat, and even there was a vacant place, and two fat whole sheep were roasted on a bonfire, and the two people who came in were dressed in Han robes, but the hair that was difficult to comb was still scattered on the shoulders, which was to humble and lock the slaves.
Dian Wei lifted his son away, tore open a jar of unopened wine, poured two large bowls with a red face, and beckoned to the two: "Go to humble Shan Yu, lock slave Shan Yu, you have been in the limelight in the past two years, and you must be punished for wine today." β
These two people are heroes on the grassland, naturally they don't shirk it, they go over and take the wine and pour it directly into their mouths to drink it all, go to humble and light up the bottom of the bowl, show it to everyone, and usher in a lot of applause, after all, the New Year, even if it is not looked down on in the past, it will not be messed up at this time, wait for him to put down the empty bowl, and said: "If you want to say that the limelight is still a slave, kill the Hu, kill Ding and zero people, and the territory has hit the far north, and wait for the New Year, I am afraid that I will swallow the entire prairie." β
Suo Nu, who had just finished drinking, frowned, naturally heard the sourness in the other party's words, clenched his fists and was about to have a seizure, Yan Rou got up and pulled him over, his eyes were kind, but the knife on his waist was looming out, "I haven't seen you for a year, and the Chinese language of the two of you is becoming more and more fluent, but before that, you should go to toast the governor first." β
The two glanced at each other with some hostility, the lock slave snorted, and took the lead to the front, Qubei is now nearly fifty people, walking steadily and heroically to stand side by side with the other party, strode to the stone steps under the eaves, stood still together, and arched his hand: "Qubei (Suo Nu) has seen the governor." β
"You two are guests from afar, you will be seated first, if you have any grievances, you will come to me to solve them after tonight." Gongsun Zhi stepped on the edge of the desk in front of him with one foot, raised his hand and pointed to the round table where there was still a vacant seat, and his voice sank: "....... But if you do it tonight, one of you will leave one hand and go back. When the words fell, the lying giant wolf shook his ears, opened his eyes, and the wolf's snout wrinkled slightly, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth.
"Yes!"
The two of them hurriedly bowed their heads and gladly agreed, Suo Nu looked at the Qubei next to him, and stared at each other coldly, but at this time, the two of them were still afraid of the Gongsun Zhi who was the first to make the northern border change the sky as long as he stomped his feet. The children of the Han script have gradually grown up into a new generation in the tribe, and the idea of leaning towards the Han has been deeply rooted, not to mention that there are also Han people in the army named the official position of the Governor, this kind of official position in the army is not to compete with them for power, but ideological education, before this, the two people who lock slaves and go to the low think that as long as they are not fighting for military power, they don't care very much, but after these five years, they realized that the problem has been serious, but it is too late, and they can't raise the butcher's knife to cut down the generals under their command......
After the two of them sat down, Pan Feng drank a few tables with a bowl, pulled Li Ke with a flushed face, raised his hand and swept around: "There are so many people, we are all here in Shanggu County, mother...... If someone poisons a pot and serves it, then it will be ......" Before the joke was finished, I saw the unfriendly eyes of Li Ke, Dian Wei and several others, and then they were pressed to the ground and crackled and beaten, and the generals of the surrounding departments and even some high-drinking officials also got up and clapped their hands noisily.
At this time, the voice outside the door was loud: "Wenhou Lu Bu, coming to the door-"
This noise made the people in the courtyard stop talking and whispered, some of them knew that Lu Bu was not dead and had come to the Northland, and the other part was not very clear about the bends and curves in it. Someone shouted: "Why is he here?" There were also people next to him who were quite surprised: "This tiger is not dead......" "It was arranged by the governor, but I don't know what to do at this time." "Well, beware." The words of surprise and surprise of everyone are not unreasonable, after Lu Bu arrived in Shanggu County, he was not a general under the command of the governor, and even had a marquis, and he rarely went out on weekdays, and coming over at this time also made many people puzzled.
During the discussion, his eyes still looked over, and his mighty and upright figure still did not belong to that year, but he was wearing a robe with a little more civility, and he was followed by a woman holding a child of about three or four years old, and the girl Lu Lingqi who followed behind.
When he walked to the middle, there was a commotion, Pan Fang's big waist and round figure violently broke free of the restraints, pushed Li Ke away with a blue nose and swollen face, and noticed footsteps behind him, Pan Feng turned around violently, and roared viciously at the people who approached: "What is it if there are more people bullying me, bring the seed to fight aloneββ"
The atmosphere around froze.
In the next second, Pan Feng rubbed his bruised cheeks and whispered, "...... You don't count. β
Lu Lingqi covered her mouth and laughed, Yan turned around and glared at the girl, and even the little boy in her arms tilted his head, full of doubts. Lu Bu stared at him, snorted coldly, stepped forward and arched his hand to the first Gongsun Zhi, who also nodded and raised his hand: "Wen Hou, please take a seat!" β
Next to him, on a round table, Li Ru walked over, "Wen Hou, Mrs. and Miss Wen are also invited to sit here, and this kind of family banquet is not divided into men and women." β
Lu Bu looked over there, in addition to Li Ru, there was Xu Rong here, and he didn't feel so awkward in his heart, if it wasn't for his wife forcing him to come over, he would rather stay at home and celebrate the festival with his wife and children, and then, sitting down, looking at his former colleagues, he suddenly laughed: "You should call Gao Shun here......
"It's okay to ask for it at this time." Xu Rong stroked his short beard, and laughed for the first time tonight, and after quickly summoning a servant in the mansion to give him an order, he turned his head: "If you can see the first batch of old people in the north, you should drink a bowl." β
Lu Bu also picked up the drink: "Come, drink it full!" β
The gaze swept over the two of them, if Gao Shun was added, he wouldn't be so lonely in the Northland, he thought.
