Chapter 44: The Wine Banquet

Shen Shi, Wu Fanhui walked into the county office alone, to move his stool, Wu Qingchao was waiting outside the county office, his face couldn't help showing a proud smile, the first main examination of the county examination, a total of ninety-seven candidates, only Wu Fanhui passed, this doesn't mean that Wu Fanhui is the natural head of the county test, of course, this is not over, but after the fourth face-to-face examination, the head of the county test will really be produced. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wu Fanhui was very calm, Wu Mianqing's reminder made him wake up from the fluttering, and this time he passed the first main examination of the county examination alone, in his opinion, it is not a good thing, no matter what, he can not be said to be the only candidate among the ninety-seven candidates who can pass the main examination, such an honor came a little too suddenly, too strange.

The head of the county examination is generally born in the first main examination, and this year's county examination is very interesting, and he is the only one who can pass the main examination, and I don't know what the county magistrate thinks as the chief examiner.

Wu Fanhui's heart has joy, but more is thinking, the five major families in the county, the power of the He family is the most powerful, last year and the year before the county trial head, all of them are the children of the He family, this year seeing that the county trial case is about to fall to the Wu family, will the He family watch and take no action.

Of course, the Wu family is also powerful, especially after Wu Mianqing, who is a lifter, became the patriarch again, and strengthened the connection with the county government, after all, he has just learned from the position of the county official, and he is familiar with many things in the officialdom, Wu Mianqing can communicate well with the officials of the county government, in this regard, except for the He family, which has this strength, the rest of the families are not good.

Therefore, Wu Fanhui, as a child of the Wu family, even if he becomes the head of the county trial, the He family will not be able to attack openly, and will only use their means in secret.

Wu Fanhui thought more about the attitude of the county magistrate, the county trial case for two consecutive years is the capital of the He family, this year the magistrate is probably unwilling to do this, thinking that he can select talents, but the magistrate will not cause a game between the families, probably the magistrate will not consider these issues.

Generally speaking, the head of the county examination will pass the government examination without any suspense, obtain the qualification of a child, and be able to participate in the government examination held in Xi'an Prefecture.

It can be seen that once Wu Fanhui becomes the head of the county test, passing the government test is a sure thing.

Laboriously moved the stool out, and Wu Qingchao, who was waiting at the gate of the county government, immediately stepped forward and carried the stool.

"Qian Jue, you have to go back quickly, the patriarch has specially booked a banquet in Sihailou, and you and I will go from the beginning of the unitary time."

"Dad, is the patriarch the banquet set up because I passed the first exam?"

"It's not exactly this matter, after so many years, the patriarch said, after so many years, the family has seen decay, and now the source is clear, and the family can continue to continue, this is something to be happy about, and it is also appropriate to celebrate with wine."

Wu Fanhui nodded, what family is the original Qingyuan, in fact, it is because he successfully passed the first main examination of the county examination, and he is the only one who passed the first main examination, and then the family will count on him to become the head of the county examination and raise his eyebrows for the Wu family, so a banquet is set up in Sihailou, one can show his attitude to the outside world, if someone wants to make a fuss in secret, the Wu family will never agree, and will fight to the end, and the second is that Wu Mianqing will serve as the patriarch again, and the family has experienced such a big thing, There is an urgent need for something to boost the morale of the family, and he Wu Fanhui passed the first main examination of the county examination, which is the best opportunity and proof.

At the banquet of Sihai Restaurant, Wu Fanhui and his father Wu Qingchao must participate.

Yesterday in the wing room, Wu Mianqing's teachings, so that Wu Fanhui has a different feeling in his heart, he also knows that Wu Mianqing does this for a purpose, anyone does things for a purpose, it depends on whether it is a good or malicious purpose, everything Wu Mianqing has done, from the current point of view, is goodwill, nothing more than thinking about the revitalization of the Wu family, as a son of the Wu family, he Wu Fanhui can not say that there is no slightest responsibility.

Only this kind of bond formed by family relationship can be really long-lasting, breaking bones and tendons, and not being able to write two Wu characters in one stroke, if you are too calculating in these things, I am afraid that you will end up calculating yourself.

In this regard, Wu Fanhui and want to open, as long as he has the ability, he can do more things for the family, but he just fights for his life and future to do it, and he still doesn't do it.

After going home, Wu Qingchao put the stool in the middle of the hall, and Wang Hecui also carefully wiped the stool with a clean handkerchief, which made Wu Fanhui very strange, the stool is used to sit, what is it doing in the middle of the hall, do you still have to offer.

"Qian Jue, this stool, I want to keep it, this is a treasure at home...

"Dad, there's no need, the stool is for sitting, if I don't have a stool to write in the county exam, and I write on the ground, do I still have to offer that piece of land, even if you want to offer, you don't have a chance."

"You don't know this, there is this habit in the family, the stools that the patriarch participated in the county trial have been stored for many years, and the patriarch will also be the head of the county trial back then."

Wu Fanhui blinked, he finally understood why Wu Qingchao did this, it turned out that the meaning in this was not ordinary.

After getting dressed, the father and son headed towards Sihailou.

Women are not allowed to participate in this kind of banquet, this is the rule, Wu Fanhui also understands, although he is a little uncomfortable.

The housekeeper was waiting at the door of Sihai Tower, and when he saw Wu Qingchao and Wu Fanhui, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

This butler is obviously stronger than the previous butler, at least he has seen the world and knows how to deal with things.

Wu Fanhui felt that the smile on the housekeeper's face looked kinder, and there was almost no taste of humility.

Walking into the private room, Wu Fanhui saw everyone sitting in the private room, all of whom were the elders of the Wu family.

Everyone sat in the outer room of the private room.

"Qingchao, Qianjue, you are here, you can sit down."

Wu Qingchao had a smile on his face, a little flattered, and did not speak, Wu Fanhui stood neatly, bowed to everyone and spoke.

"Father and Qian Jue are late, and I apologize here for bothering the patriarch and the elders to wait."

The smile on Wu Mianqing's face was even worse, and he nodded slightly and spoke.

"Qian Jue, the family can hold a banquet in Sihailou today, there is your credit, always have a humble heart, often for the dedication, often think about the virtue of responsibility, this is the foundation of the reader, no matter where you are, to be able to do this, it is not simple, I believe you will be able to do it."

Entering the inside, Wu Mianqing personally arranged the seats, he was naturally the main seat, the seat on the left was vacant, and the rest of the elders were still seated in order of age, and Wu Qing was naturally sitting at the end.

After Wu Mianqing sat down, he spoke to Wu Fanhui, who was still standing on the side.

"Qian Jue, come, you sit next to me, you don't shirk today, at the banquet, you have to toast the elders of the family."

Wu Fanhui did not refuse, walked to Wu Mianqing's side and sat down.

The housekeeper didn't serve the table, this was a family banquet, and it was not okay to let the guys from Sihailou come to greet him, so the housekeeper personally took charge of the wine jug and poured wine for everyone.

The housekeeper still counted, and although Wu Fanhui sat on the left side of Wu Mianqing, he still poured wine for Wu Fanhui at the end.

Wu Mianqing stood up and raised his wine glass.

"Everyone, please raise your glasses."

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.

"Last year, I returned home, I wanted to see if the famine for three consecutive years would have a significant impact on the family, who would have expected to encounter so many things, I also stayed in the family, and served as the patriarch again, these few months, I have received strong support from you, this glass of wine, I express my gratitude to you, we drink this cup."

After drinking this glass, the butler quickly poured a second glass for everyone.

Wu Mianqing did not sit down, and neither did the crowd.

"This second cup of wine is to drink for the gradual prosperity of the family, the matter of the Kuang family has passed, I will not say much, Qian Jue this county test, can pass the first main exam, and is the only one to pass, this is the symbol of the prosperity of my Wu family, you and I drink this cup, one to congratulate Qian Jue, and the other is also for the future of my Wu family."

Wu Mianqing drank it again, and everyone followed suit.

Wu Fanhui is only fourteen years old, this age, if it is placed in a few hundred years, it is basically strictly forbidden to drink, but in this era is still a little different, although a man is only a real adult at the age of sixteen, qualified to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, but the scholar family and the family with status, generally pass the county and government examinations, or fourteen-year-old teenagers as adults.

Before the crossing, Wu Fanhui was able to drink, and the amount of wine was very good, and the spirits after a few hundred years were much more powerful than today's wine, after all, the technology of winemaking had progressed.

But today, even if he is a cow, he can't drink so much wine, he needs to toast each elder, and the elder will return the salute and congratulate him.

Unconsciously, Wu Fanhui was drunk, but until he was drunk, he didn't have any gaffes, but when he left Sihailou, he was helped by Wu Qingchao to leave.

Wu Mianqing has always been concerned that drinking alcohol is the best way to show a person's conduct.

Wu Fanhui's performance made him completely relieved, the real prosperity of the Wu family lies in this son, but he also knows that the Wu family must not force this son, otherwise it will backfire.
