Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Strange Banquet

After a while, a middle-aged man in a brown coarse suit hurriedly walked in from outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 When I saw Mrs. Yang, I bowed without hesitation: "Old lady, the old man and the second master are ready, Madame asked me to come over and ask you, do you want to have dinner?" ”

Mrs. Yang didn't even look at him, and said directly: "Okay, go ahead." Tell Madame that we will be there shortly. ”

After the middle-aged man left, Wu Shun said with a smile: "Ah Niang, he has been a lot more honest in the past few years." ”

"Humph! Last time, I tried to be disrespectful to the small courtyard, seized an opportunity, taught him a lesson, and let him know that this family is far from his turn! Without waiting for Mrs. Yang to reply, Aunt Lan stepped forward and said softly. Full of disdain for the person just now.

Wu Shun smiled slightly: "A-Niang is getting older, and Aunt Lan and Aunt Hui are getting harder and harder. ”

Mrs. Yang didn't say anything, waved her hand to stop the chat, and everyone walked towards the front hall. As soon as he entered the door, Helan Minzhi was keenly aware that the seating arrangement had changed this time. Although Wu Yuanqing is the nominal head of the family, he is now sitting in the first position, followed by his wife and the small version of Wu Sansi. At this time, Wu Sansi was far from being the majestic and powerful figure in later generations. At this time, he was only a five or six-year-old child. Honestly sitting next to his mother, but he didn't show any inhibitions. After all, this is his own home.

I haven't seen Wu Yuanqing for a few years, and he doesn't seem to have changed. But is the beard under his forehead a little longer than before? It's like a bit of a beautiful man. Seeing that he strokes his beard from time to time, you know that he must also cherish this very flowing beard.

Sitting on his right hand was Wu Yuanshuang. These two guys are really superb, one has a long beard and a chest, and the other has a white face and no beard. Even though he is already middle-aged, at this age, Wu Yuanshuang's beard is getting less and less day by day, and it is not as much as when they met two years ago. His complexion was not normal white, but as if he had been hollowed out by wine, and he coughed to the side from time to time.

Behind sat his wife and a small version of Wu Chenghe. Compared with Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi seems a little restrained, and he looks soft and weak like his father, his face is pale and malnourished, right? Sitting next to his mother as if he was being bullied, he didn't dare to say a word.

The two brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, coincide today, and they both wear crimson clothes. People seem to be very shrewd and capable, middle-aged uncle-level characters wear Hu clothes, even Helan Minzhi has to say that he does look spirited, simple, and capable.

Seeing Mrs. Yang coming in, Wu Yuanqing still didn't react, Wu Yuanshuang quickly stood up and walked towards Mrs. Yang, stretching out his hand to support her.

This scene is a little familiar to me, just arrived in Chang'an, when I first met Wu Yuanshuang, he was such a move, such a smile. People, pretend to see it very much. But if you can pretend to be for a lifetime, it's really not easy. Wu Yuanshuang is such a person, and historically, Wu Chengsi is also such a person. It's just that the sky just doesn't give them a chance.

Wu Yuanshuang has a Wu Yuanqing all his life. Wu Chengsi has been arguing with Wu Sansi for most of his life, and he can be regarded as resourceful, but the only pity is his body.

Suddenly, I felt that it was really my luck to cross over to Helan Minzhi, at least everything was still unknown, and the political masters who would be active in the future were now just little radish heads, and they were allowed to pinch and knead them by themselves.

After greeting each other, such a friendly celebratory dinner began. All the imaginary difficulties or difficulties did not come. Whether it was Wu Yuanqing or Wu Yuanshuang, all the people were smiling kindly, and they expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of their mother and son. even asked Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi to stand up and toast Wu Shun with a glass of wine, and told them to learn well and let them learn from themselves.

Although the atmosphere was very warm, it could be seen from Helan Minyue's face. From beginning to end, there was uncontrollable surprise on her little face. He even pinched his face from time to time to make sure it wasn't really a dream. The little face made her blush.

"Yue'er, what are you doing? You're blushing, do you want to make your own rouge? He teased Minyue with his wine glass.

"Brother, brother, do you think this is a dream?" Helan Minyue, who has always liked to joke, has no meaning to joke.

"Huh? Dreaming, dreaming, eating. Helan Minzhi deliberately pretended that he didn't know what she was surprised about. Gently sipped his wine, the wine of the Tang Dynasty, the degree is really not enough. It's just that I really don't know how to distill, otherwise I must make some high-degree liquor. If I don't make sake through it, I'm really sorry that I'm doing it again.

"That, that, that..." Min Yue was a little speechless in surprise, and pointed at Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. In fact, her thoughts are completely understandable, after all, since she has the memory of Chang'an City, it is how her uncle makes things difficult for her mother, how her brother argues with them, and even makes a lot of noise at the banquet. What kind of trouble is it to sit together and drink so harmoniously now? Her little head already felt that the capacity of the brain was insufficient.

"Haha, what are you thinking. Hurry up and eat meat! As he spoke, he gave her a piece of beef from his bowl.

This beef was also an unexpected surprise, and the farming technology of the Tang Dynasty was not well developed. Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, they relied heavily on cultivating cattle, so although the people of the Tang Dynasty loved to eat beef, the nobles ate very little, let alone the poor, and they had never seen beef in their lives. The beef on the table is definitely a heavy dish, and I am really happy to be able to eat it today.

After listening to Helan Minzhi's words, Minyue stopped talking. Let's put this strange phenomenon aside for now, anyway, my brother must know. It's true that I ate the beef in front of me first, and if it's really cold later, the beef will be very fishy.

Seeing that she finally let go of this matter and went to eat meat, Helan Minzhi also let out a sigh of relief. After all, although he knew what was going on, he might not be able to talk to Min Yue.

How could he tell Min Yue that the holy decree given to the samurai Tong Tijue in the palace had come down. Wu Shi Tong has become the Duke of Zhou, and Mrs. Yang has also become the Duchess of Zhou. All these rewards are going to Mrs. Yang, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang seem to have been forgotten by the current saints, and they don't have their share at all. They can ignore these rewards, but the most terrifying thing is that Wu Shi Tong is the Duke of Zhou, and there is no will to tell whether it is Wu Yuanqing or Wu Yuanshuang. That's all that matters!
