Chapter 578: The Dinner Party (2)

Zhu Hai on the side stood up and said with a smile: "This is the king of Nanchang County, and the one behind is the king of Jiujiang County, let's meet the three uncles!" ”

Jin Shenghuan arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Brother Li Wang, who had heard of the name for a long time before, and finally met today!" ”

Wang Deren in the back laughed and said: "Li Hezi, do you still recognize me Wang Zamao?" ”

"Haha, of course I know, I haven't seen each other for ten years since Shaanxi Yibie!"

Wang Deren said with a smile: "Yes, Gao Harrier kidnapped Mrs. Xing back then, and we haven't met since then!" ”

Li Chengdong was very unhappy when he heard Wang Deren talk about Mrs. Xing, Gao Jie and Li Chengdong had a very good relationship, or he couldn't give him orphans, and now he felt a little uncomfortable listening to Wang Deren talk about Gao Jie's ugly things.

Wang Deren didn't notice that Li Chengdong was unhappy, and looked at Li Yuanyin behind Li Chengdong and asked, "Old Li, who is this?" ”

Li Chengdong said: "This is my son, Li Yuanyin!" ”

"You have such a son? When I was old. Didn't this king hear that you hurt your waist and can't have children? ”

Li Chengdong heard Wang Deren mention that he couldn't have children, and Jin Shenghuan on the side saw it and quickly said: "Brother Li, this is my son Jin Daoming!" After speaking, he said to his son: "Come here, I've seen your Uncle Wang and Brother Li!" ”

Jin Daoming hurriedly flashed out from behind him and saluted Li Chengdong and Li Yuanyin.

At this time, Wang Deren also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly closed his mouth and did not know anything. The three of them sat down under Zhu Hai's arrangement, Jin Shenghuan was older and sat in the first seat, Li Chengdong was the second in age, and Wang Deren was the youngest in the last seat.

As soon as he sat down, Wang Deren's stinky mouth was not honest, and he asked loudly: "Brother Li, how many troops did you bring this time!" ”

This topic is so sensitive that Li Chengdong couldn't help but answer, so he had to say: "Hey! My brothers were all killed and wounded, and only more than 20,000 people are still with me! ”

Back then, Wang Deren was not as high as Li Chengdong when he broke into the camp, but now he didn't have as many soldiers as Li Chengdong, so he laughed proudly in his heart: "Brother Li, you are not as good as me, old. . . Brother, I brought 200,000 soldiers and horses, and Brother Jin has more, enough 600,000! ”

Li Chengdong looked at Zhu Hai, who was sitting next to him, and scolded in his heart, this Wang Deren, I really don't know how to write the word dead! But it's okay, your mouth is so stinky that it will make you suffer!

Li Chengdong smiled: "Yes! It seems that brother, I am not as good as the two princes! But is the food and salary of so many soldiers enough for the two of you? ”

Wang Deren's mouth cracked and said: "Don't worry about this, His Majesty the Emperor has said that the state is responsible for all food and salary!" ”

Jin Shenghuan listened to Wang Deren's nonsense on the side, and he also felt a little wrong, so he quickly interrupted Wang Deren and said: "Second brother, don't say it, in fact, our brothers don't have so many people, there are less than 400,000, and the number of 800,000 is to scare the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it can't be counted!" ”

Wang Deren was a little unhappy when he heard Jin Shenghuan reveal his old bottom, didn't he say that he would talk to the emperor about 800,000, and then ask the emperor for food, why is he telling the truth now?

Jin Shenghuan was still afraid that the prince would be unhappy, so he turned his head and said to Zhu Hai: "Don't worry, the prince has absolutely not falsely reported the number of people, you can ask the imperial court to send someone to verify!" ”

Zhu Hai said with a smile: "Don't worry, the two uncles, my father has already said that the most important thing in Guangdong is silver dollars, and my father has ordered to allocate five million silver dollars to the two uncles!" ”

When Wang Deren heard that there was money to take, it was still a silver dollar, and he was very happy in his heart. You must know that the kind of Guangdong silver dollar can be exchanged for one or two or five dollars of silver, and the five million can be divided into two million no matter how you say it, which is a big fortune.

"Don't worry, let us move to Yangzhou this time, we will definitely fight Manchu and find teeth, and strive to hit Beijing as soon as possible, so that His Majesty the Emperor can sit in the Jinluan Palace!" Wang Deren also saw the appearance of the Emperor's Palace, so he said this.

Zhu Hai smiled and nodded: "Then the father and the palace are waiting for the good news of the two uncles in Nanjing!" ”

When Li Chengdong saw this, he sneered in his heart: According to the temperament of that bastard emperor, he can still give you five million silver dollars? I'm afraid I'm going to swallow up your 400,000 army! But it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, I originally wanted to remind Wang Zamao, but this guy has such a stinky mouth, Lao Tzu doesn't care about this.

With the silver dollar, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were very happy, talked a lot, and chatted very happily with Zhu Hai, Li Chengdong and others.

The time passed quickly, and after a while the little eunuch came to inform him that the hour had come, and that you were invited to take your seats. Zhu Hai hurriedly got up, took a few people in the house out of the side hall, and came to the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace is the emperor's dormitory and office place, not a palace, but a building complex, there are two partial halls, six halls, a total of 42 large and small houses, of which there are nine rooms in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. In the center is the emperor's daily office, but today it is already full of chairs, and hundreds of butter wax are lit in the room, illuminating the palace lights.

Today's banquet included Li Chengdong's family of three, Jin Shenghuan's family of four, except for Jin Daoming's son who was under the age of five, who did not come. Wang Deren died in Nanchang because his wife and children died, so he only brought a new princess. In addition to the emperor, Zhu Hongsan's concubines include Ma Ruyan, Dong Zhen and Dong Huan, Zhu Hongsan's sons Zhu Hai, Zhu Jiang, Zhu Huai, and Zhu Hongyi's family, Zhao Hu and Zhu Bao plus Zhu Luo are all here.

As soon as Jin Shenghuan and the others entered the house, they saw Zhu Hongsan and the imperial concubine Ma Ruyan sitting in the center, and Jin Shenghuan and the others hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhu Hongsan laughed and said: "Three big brothers, please get up, we are not outsiders, hurry up!" ”

After Jin Shenghuan got up, he looked up and saw Zhu Hongyi standing on the side. You must know that Jin Shenghuan was broken by Zhu Hongyi's three punches and two kicks in Xinyang, and now he is trembling with fear when he sees Zhu Hongyi, a big black man.

Li Chengdong wasn't afraid of Zhu Hongyi, he looked up and saw a graceful and luxurious woman sitting next to Zhu Hongsan, probably the imperial concubine, and there were two women with the same appearance sitting next to him, these two women were somewhat similar to his daughter-in-law Zhu Yu, these two must be Concubine Zhen and Concubine Huan, I don't know that it was Zhu Yu's biological mother. There were a bunch of people standing on the left hand side of the emperor, led by the crown prince Zhu Hai, the two young people next to the prince Li Chengdong recognized a Chu king Zhu Huai, then the other must be Qin King Zhu Jiang, how did he wear a red and blue military uniform? Did you join the army too? Below is a big black man, this one is more than two meters tall, two heads taller than himself, this middle-aged man is wearing an azure dragon robe, it should be Zhu Hongyi, the king of Wuchang County, the emperor's cousin. Zhu Hongyi was surrounded by two big black men with small trumpets, who looked similar to Zhu Hongyi, and should be his children.

As soon as Wang Deren entered the house, he saw Dong Zhen and Dong Huan sitting on Zhu Hong's three sides, although the two sisters are no longer young, they are now almost thirty years old, but Wang Deren saw this identical twin drooling out, I didn't expect this emperor to be so good at playing, twins! When you return to Jiujiang, you must also get a pair to play!

The three county kings here are observing Zhu Hongsan, and Zhu Hongsan is also looking at these three people. Jin Shenghuan He has seen it, and the one behind him is Jin Daoming, who hasn't seen him with a beard for more than ten years. Zhu Hongsan's heart moved when he saw the woman behind Jin Daoming, this woman looked very much like Ma Xiaofang.

Zhu Hongsan asked Ma Ruyan beside him, "Concubine Ai, is that your sister?" ”

Ma Ruyan saw that Ma Ruyun had already been teary-eyed, and Ma Ruyan, as the eldest sister, took great care of Ma Ruyun and Ma Rufeng. Later, I was ordered by my grandfather to go back to Wuchang to get married, how do I know that time is like flowing water, this farewell is nearly 20 years, and now I see my sister-in-law in front of me, how can Ma Ruyan control her tears.

Ma Ruyan said with tears in her eyes: "Ruyun, come over and let my sister take a look!" ”

I was also very excited to see my sister Ma Ruyun, I was still very angry when I heard that my sister was forced to marry Zhu Hongsan, but I didn't think that now my sister has become the imperial concubine of a country.

Ma Ruyun stepped forward with his twelve-year-old son, knelt down and said, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty and the imperial concubine!" ”

Ma Ruyun walked into Zhu Hongsan and saw it even more clearly, this woman was tall and very similar to Ma Xiaofang. It is said that nieces are like aunts, and they used to joke with Ma Ruyan, she is not like Ma Xiaofang at all, how can I think that it should all be on Ma Ruyun, this niece looks seven or eight points similar to Ma Xiaofang.

Ma Ruyan stood up from behind the desk, came to Ma Ruyun, picked up her sister, and looked carefully.

"Sister, when I heard the emperor say that Xinyang City was broken, I thought you died in the chaos, but I didn't expect to see you alive!"

"Eldest sister, it was your brother-in-law who took his sister to fight to the death to get out of the encirclement, so there was a way to live!" After Ma Ruyun finished speaking, he pulled his son and said, "Sister, this is your nephew, and there is another one who is too young, so he didn't bring it today, so he stayed in the house!" ”

Ma Ruyan touched the child's head and said, "Okay! Zhu Jiang, come here! After speaking, he pointed to Ma Ruyun and said, "This is your second aunt, and you don't want to be polite!" ”

Zhu Jiang hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, you must know that he is a prince, and his level is higher than Jin Shenghuan, so Ma Ruyun hurriedly dodged.

Ma Ruyan said with a smile: "What are you hiding, you are his second aunt, but unfortunately the third brother and mother are not here now, otherwise our family will be reunited!" ”

Ma Ruyun heard her sister talk about her younger brother and mother, and also remembered what she had experienced in the past ten years, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhu Hongsan saw the two sisters confessing their relatives in front of the court, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't cry, don't you meet here, concubine, you take the female dependents to the apse to eat at the bar, we men can't let go of you here!" ”

Ma Ruyan was anxious to talk to her sister, and promised to lead all the female dependents to retreat to the apse.

Seeing that the women were gone, Zhu Hongsan laughed and said: "The women are gone, we men drink!" Come and serve food, sing and dance! If you don't drink a few of them today, you're not allowed to go home! ”

Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, Li Chengdong and others are all military generals, and they love the things in this cup the most, and they laughed when they heard the emperor say this.

The emperor ordered the banquet to begin, and after a while, the kung fu dishes came up like flowing water.
