"Mr. Hongdae, but it doesn't hurt to say, Kui will do his best. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Building a grave to worship ancestors is a matter of the scene. Pei wanted to invite several leading figures in Hedong to attend to strengthen his momentum. ”

The family pays the most attention to face pomp. Such a major event as repairing graves and worshiping ancestors should naturally be done decently and grandly.

"As it should be." Jia Kui nodded and said, "Who does Mr. Hongdae want to invite, make a list, and Jia will definitely help Mr. Hongdae invite them." At that time, Jia will also be present. ”

"Pei Ju thanked me first." After Pei Ju saluted and thanked him, he said: "All the families in Hedong, Pei has invited them one by one. There was only one person, and he thought that his face was too thin, and he didn't know how to speak. ”

"Who?"

"Lead the military affairs of Bei Sizhou, General Xu Maogong."

"Oh......"

Under Liu Mang's rule, the military and political powers of each state and county were divided.

Hedong government affairs, acted by Jia Kui. And the military affairs of Hedong are under the command of Xu Shiji.

The battle of Yongliang did not end, but only a temporary truce, so Hedong still belonged to the frontline area, and military affairs took precedence over others.

Although Jia Kui was not Xu Shiji's subordinate, before the end of the war, Jia Kui must fully assist Xu Shiji, as long as it is related to military affairs, and even obey Xu Shiji's command.

Now, Xu Shiji is the most powerful person in Hedong. Wen Xi Pei's tomb to worship his ancestors, if he can be present, he will naturally have face.

It's just that Xu Shiji is busy with military affairs and may not be free.

Jia Kui's words have been spoken, so he naturally tries his best to find a way.

"A few days ago, General Xu sent an official message, and the day after tomorrow, General Xu will come to Anyi to inspect the preparation of grain and grass and the transportation of grain. It's just that General Xu is busy with military affairs, and time may be in a hurry. ”

Pei Ju hurriedly said, "It's okay." Pei Mouyan dared to delay General Xu's military affairs, and all other matters had already been arranged, and he did not ask General Xu to be present. The day after tomorrow, Pei held a banquet in the cold house to entertain guests and friends, just asking General Xu to be present and sit for a while. ”

As long as he showed up at Pei's thank-you banquet, he couldn't delay time, and Jia Kui immediately agreed. "In this way, Kui will definitely do it."

……

Pei's banquet was held, and the entire Wenxi county was a sensation.

Wen Xi Pei's face, the face is huge. In Hedong County, almost all the characters with heads and faces were present.

The young, there are children of families and new officials.

The elderly, some are over the age of old, and even the elderly, are supported by others to attend the ceremony.

The house where the Pei family entered the courtyard was full of banquets, and the faces of Hedong were full.

How influential is the Pei family?

As long as anyone can be invited to attend, they feel very embarrassed.

Zhibin was waiting at the gate, and whenever a leading person arrived, Zhibin had to shout out his title and official position. It is a kind of respect, but also a kind of show-off.

Those who were invited with a slightly lower status could not help but exchange words whenever they heard a resounding name.

A certain public is here to cheer!

Yes! A certain man hasn't been out of the house for a few years, and he is here today!

Gee! Wen Xi Pei's, amazing!

Hey? Hedong's head figure is almost there, right? Why don't you open the table yet?

There are still dignitaries who have not yet arrived.

Yes, too! The master went to the door, and must have been waiting for the big man.

After a while, at the gate, Zhibin shouted loudly: "General Beisizhou, here!" ”

"Woohoo!"

"No wonder! It turned out that he was waiting for General Beisizhou! ”

"The Pei family is really amazing, even General Xu has been invited!"

To be honest, the guests present may not be able to afford Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji is just a salt lord, to put it bluntly, he is almost the same as a thief.

However, no one present dared to offend Xu Shiji.

coincided with wartime, and the entire east of Hedong was considered a front line.

Xu Shiji commanded the military affairs of Hedong, and in addition to the army, Xu Shiji had the right to deal with wartime-related matters such as grain and grass, porters, and labor.

The guests present, although they have lords and officials, are on the ground east of the river after all. If you offend Xu Shiji, with an order, your family's grain hoarding, house slaves, and even your family's real estate may be expropriated.

Although under Liu Mang's rule, there will be compensation for wartime requisition, but everyone is most afraid of tossing, especially being tossed by the army.

……

Xu Shiji, accompanied by Jia Kui and Pei Ju, walked into the main hall.

In the main hall, there are only a few cases.

Several elderly people were waiting in the hall.

The elders in the house, Xu Shiji didn't know any of them, and Pei Ju introduced them one by one.

Pei Ju let an old man and introduced: "This is the Hou Du Gong of Lin Township, and the Lin Du family. ”

"Oh......"

Xu Shiji's face was surprised.

Xu Shiji's background is not high, and he once lived in the grass. But he read poetry and books since he was a child, had great ambitions, and always paid attention to current affairs.

"Lin Shu Du Clan? But during the Han'an period, Du Taiwei's family? ”

"Exactly."

"Oops! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Xu Shiji bowed deeply.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lin Xianghou was polite and bowed deeply.

The Linshu Du clan of Hanoi County is a famous family. Du Qiao, the ancestor of the Lin Shu Du family, served as a servant, Guangluxun, and Taiwei during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty.

Later, the family gradually declined. During the war in the Central Plains, the Lin family moved to Hedong.

As the saying goes, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.

Although the Lin family is in decline, it is also a famous family. The current head of the family still inherits the title of Marquis of Linxiang.

Pei Ju let another elder introduce Xu Shiji: "Yang Gong, Hou of Yangcheng Township, is the son of Fubo Hou and the same clan of Hongnong Yang. ”

"Oops! Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”

Xu Shiji was even more surprised!

Yangcheng Township, Hou Yangfu, is not a great character. Xu Shiji was so surprised, just because he knew Yang Fu's identity.

Yang Fu's father is Yang Mu, Hou of Fubo.

And Yang Fu's grandfather is the fifth generation of the Hongnong Yang family, the famous Yang Zhen, known as "Confucius of Guanxi"!

Yang Fu, a non-Hongnong descendant of the Yang family, moved from Hongnong to Hedong.

Yang Fu himself has no ability. However, just by virtue of his family name and relying on his ancestors, Yang Fu won the title of Marquis of Yangcheng Township and was prominent in Hedong.

On closer examination, Yang Fu is the seventh grandson of the Hongnong Yang family, and he is one generation higher than Yang Biao, who served in the court! How dare Xu Shiji be disrespectful?

In addition to the Du family and the Yang family, several other elders in the hall also have great backgrounds.

There are descendants of "and sage" Liu Xia Hui, and the Hou Liu clan of Xie Township; Hedong Wang clan, Gengxiang Hou Xue clan; Jia Kui's uncle of the same clan, the marquis of Yangli.

The other two, the elders of the Wei family and the Pei family, are also township marquises.

Seeing the ceremony one by one, Xu Shiji sighed with emotion: Humane Hedong Duowang clan, sure enough!

While Xu Shiji sighed, he couldn't help but secretly blame himself for being lonely and unheard: after staying in Hedong for so many years, these heads of the wang clan either don't know at all, or they only know their names and haven't seen them.

In the future, you will have to put more effort into it. Living in temples and walking rivers and lakes, some of the principles are the same. It's always good to have more friends and more friends.

After the introduction, we are ready to sit down and start the table.

Pei Ju invited Xu Shiji to sit as the guest of honor, and Xu Shiji hurriedly excused himself.

The people in this room are all nobles, how can Xu Shiji be willing to live in the top position...... (To be continued.) )
