At a little more than five o'clock in the afternoon, He Jianye was enjoying the dishes of his hometown at home, accompanied by his young and beautiful wife, not to mention how beautiful this day was; He Jianye was full of joy, wishing that the devil would never come, so he would live like this; Unfortunately, the good days were short-lived, and his thoughts were as ridiculous as an ostrich with his head buried in the sand......

"Master, the company commander has been waiting at the door for half an hour; Something seems to be there, should you call him in? The old lady in the kitchen said when she was serving,

He Jianye has been eating this meal for more than an hour, and he still feels that he is still not full; I don't know if it's because of his good mood, or if he was hungry in Changsha......

"Well, Zeng Da is not an outsider; Let him in! He Jianye said while eating,

"Commander! There is news from the adjutant's office that Zhu Youqian, chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Government and mayor of Nanchang, will hold a banquet at Tengwang Pavilion tonight, and invite you and your wife to the banquet! Zeng Da came in and handed over a post;

"Well, it's not just the two of them! Who else? He Jianye asked,

Deputy Commander Leng and his wife also received invitations, as well as officials from the Nanchang provincial and municipal governments, as well as some celebrities; The number could be in the dozens! Zeng Da said,

"What time is it?" He Jianye asked,

"Seven o'clock; Less than two hours to go! Zeng Da said,

"Xiaoyue, go and dress up, accompany your husband and me to the banquet tonight! Be pretty, I'm such a handsome and golden young man, how can I do without a young and beautiful female companion? We set off at 6:40! He Jianye said to Wang Yue,

"Okay, I'll go wash up;" Wang Yue happily entered the bedroom, attending this kind of large-scale banquet is her favorite, listening to Zeng's big tone, He Jianye is the center tonight, so standing next to him is not to gather the eyes of the audience?

"This meal wasn't delicious! I reckon these people have two purposes: First, they're here to find out! I want to know how we will defend Nanchang and whether we will put the devil into the city; Second, the Supreme Command has issued an order for the evacuation of the people in Nanchang, but they don't want to leave, and I'm afraid they have other thoughts about this banquet; He Jianye said,

"Commander, the housekeeper came over at about eight o'clock! Do you want them to come back tomorrow? Or postpone the banquet?" Zeng Da asked,

"The banquet shall be as usual, and the kitchen shall be informed to set up a banquet at home to entertain the steward; I will be back as soon as possible! He Jianye said,

The banquet to entertain He Jianye and Leng Qi in the Tengwang Pavilion was decided by the officials and celebrities in Nanchang after taking into account all aspects of the situation; Although the environment here is not more luxurious than the Nanchang Hotel, it is not a monument here, and they specially set the banquet here for a deep meaning!

"How's the banquet going?" Zhu Youqian was the organizer of this banquet, and he had already arrived at King Teng's Pavilion at five o'clock in the afternoon;

"The mayor is assured that the chef is specially invited; All the Jiangxi chefs in Nanchang City are here tonight, so it's guaranteed to be okay! A fat businessman said with a smile,

"How's the prom prepared after the banquet? Are you prepared for the beautiful women who dance with the wine? Zhu Youqian asked worriedly,

Since He Jianye came to Nanchang for a while, there are really not many high-grade singers in Nanchang now, and tonight is a banquet for He Jianye, and it is really difficult to invite enough high-quality dancers!

"The mayor can rest assured, although there are fewer high-quality singers on the market now; But you know, there are really a lot of us businessmen, everyone contributes a few of them, these women used to be all singers in Nanchang, but now they have entered our back house, and now let them go back to their old business! In this way, there are cards and safety, and compared with the singers outside, you don't have to worry about them talking nonsense! The chubby merchant said,

"Yes, well thought out!" Zhu Youqian said with a smile, and then left with satisfaction with his hands behind his back, these businessmen and so-called celebrities still have a way, and they didn't disappoint him!

In the evening, there has always been a drinking party and a dance party in the Tengwang Pavilion, but this place was chartered today; The police set up a cordon around the area early in the morning, and anyone who was not invited could not enter;

The night is slowly coming, Nanchang at night does not feel the slightest cold, and the prosperity is highlighted in the brilliant lights; Unaffected by the evacuation order, the wealthy who are accustomed to evening activities are still squandering their money and enjoying their lives......

"Jiangxi Provincial Government Chairman Xiong has arrived!" Before seven o'clock, Xiong Shihui came in a car, and the official in charge of greeting him at the door shouted loudly,

"Chairman, please inside! You drink tea first! Zhu Youqian smiled and stretched out his hands!

"The garrison command hasn't arrived yet?" Xiong Shihui asked,

"Not yet, but it's still ten minutes before the official start at seven o'clock!" Zhu Youqian comforted himself,

"Well, let's start when they get there! I'll take a break! Xiong Shihui said,

"Yes, then I'll take the chairman to rest first! I'll go and invite you when I'm ready! Zhu Youqian brought Xiong Shihui into the rest room of King Teng's Pavilion, the antique room was burning with antique incense, and the comfortable and peaceful atmosphere made people sleepy!

He Jianye and Leng Qi did not let these officials wait too long, just after seven o'clock, two small cars followed by a large number of officers and soldiers of the guard company, riding horses and following behind the cars, arrived at the Tengwang Pavilion;

"Nanchang Garrison Command Commander He Jianye and Deputy Commander Leng Qi have arrived!" The officials at the door saw a large number of people coming early and reminded the people around them loudly;

"Spread out! Occupy all the intersections and vantage points around you! A platoon, responsible for patrolling! Hurry up! Zeng rode on his horse and shouted,

As the guard opened the car door, He Jianye and Leng Qi stepped out of the car one after another, and appeared in front of everyone with their wives in their arms! However, to He Jianye's surprise, Leng Qi was not his wife Song Chengying, but his aunt Liu Qingyan;

"Commander He, Deputy Commander Leng; Welcome, welcome! Inside please! The banquet awaits you; Zhu Youqian said loudly,

"Also, on the first floor, I prepared meat and wine for the brethren, and it was cold outside; Let the brethren come in and have a drink! Rest assured, Director Huang has already arranged more than 200 policemen around, and the idle people will definitely not be able to enter, so everyone can have fun! Zhu Youqian suggested;

"Thank you for the mayor's concern, the military is used to all kinds of weather, we just wait for the commander outside, the mayor doesn't have to worry about us!" Zeng Da stood at the door in full armor and refused!

Seeing that these soldiers didn't have the slightest intention of entering King Teng's Pavilion, Zhu Youqian was not easy to force it, as if he had something else in mind! accompanied the two people into the Tengwang Pavilion;

Tengwang Pavilion because of the continuous damage of military disasters and fires, from the Tang Dynasty has been rebuilt more than 20 times, the current Tengwang Pavilion is the first year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty in 1909 to rebuild, at this time the Qing court is in internal and external difficulties, the people are poor and wealthy, the scale of repairing the pavilion is not as good as before. The whole pavilion is a wooden structure building, with heavy eaves on the mountain, black tile wooden columns, and no color painting; There is the main entrance of the archway type, quite similar to the southern temple, a total of two floors; A few tables were set up in the hall on the second floor for the reception banquet this evening, and the chefs were cooking in the annex, and the dance party was set up in the hall on the first floor.
