Chapter 3: The Feast of the Feng Family
When Feng Manlou returned to the guest house, he looked depressed, and Xiaoyun shouted: "Young master, hurry up and use it early, it's cold!" ”
Feng Manlou said casually: "No appetite!" It's really beautiful and delicious, immortal, it's unpleasant to eat, and you can't sleep at night! ”
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "Yes, the young master is fascinated by that little lady." ”
Now the mood of the wind is full of buildings, I don't know how to describe it. In this era, his performance just now can be regarded as bold, but fortunately, it is still the early Song Dynasty, and he has not been poisoned by the science surnamed Zhu, otherwise his performance just now will have to discredit him, and his future will be ruined.
In the face of such an early, it is relatively good in this era,
Especially rich and noble people can enjoy it, thinking of their previous life, such an early meal, they are already tired of eating, and after they are tired of eating breakfast, they spend a lot of time rushing to work, and they don't eat at all.
When the two returned home, they saw that the entire Fengfu was dressed in red and hung with colors, which was a little more festive than yesterday.
"Uncle Qing, what is this for?" Feng Manlou asked the housekeeper Feng Qingdao.
Feng Qing saw Feng Manlou coming back and said, "Young Master, don't you know? The old man went out early in the morning to buy. Today is to celebrate your Zhongjinshi, the neighbors, as well as the old man's friends, all come to celebrate. In addition, the famous squire in the city, the lord sent an invitation early! By the way, it is said that the county magistrate is also coming today! ”
When Feng Manlou heard it, wasn't it just that he was admitted to Jinshi, which is equivalent to being admitted to a key university in later generations, is it worth celebrating like this, isn't it a bit of a fuss. But after thinking about it, it is not easy for me to get this Jinshi now, it is the result of the real Fengmanlou, which has taken countless days and nights, cold and summer, and more than ten years. And in the examination room, four or five exams, large and small, lasted three or four years to achieve today's achievements, and only I know the hardships.
Feng Manlou noticed that he had sent a number of posts to the squires in the county, and suddenly his brain turned, pulled Feng Qing's sleeve, and said, "Uncle Qing, don't go!" Ask all the squires who posted it? ”
Feng Qing turned around and said, "Young Master, the squires of the whole city have posted posts, as for which ones, there are too many, I really can't remember them!" ”
Xiaoyun is worthy of growing up with Feng Manlou since he was a child, knowing Feng Manlou's thoughts, and asked, "Have you ever sent a post to Yang Mansion?" It is the Yang family who lives one mile to the east! ”
Feng Qing smiled and said: "You little ghost, the Yang family is the master's best friend, how can you not be invited?" You young people don't know how many years of friendship our two families have! But I don't blame you, the young master has been studying since he was a child and rarely goes out, so of course he doesn't know the Yang family. Don't blame, don't blame! ”
Hearing Feng Qing say this, I remembered that I used to know it, but the current Feng Manlou is no longer the original Feng Manlou, of course I can't remember.
At this time, Feng Fuchang had already returned from shopping, and the house was busy. Feng Fu often called Feng Manlou into the guest hall and taught him how to pay attention to how to do and so on.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon, the guests began to enter the door, the door was first the housekeeper Fengqing took the gift list to record everyone's bride price, and the small house that welcomed the guests into the courtyard at the back. Then there is another small house registration number. Who's who's got there and whatever.
And the guest hall is now full of wine tables, and the Feng family father and son are greeting guests at the door. I greeted the guests who entered the door one by one, and the little maid brought them in and sat down.
After almost half an hour, the number of people increased. Feng Manlou looked at the guest hall, these were seats for squires and rich people with status and fame, and their servants with them were arranged in the lower courtyard, and a wine table was arranged far away.
Feng Manlou felt bored, but he heard the little guy at the door shouting: "Master Yang of Yang Mansion has arrived!" ”
Feng Fuchang hurriedly greeted him and greeted him: "Brother Yang, it's finally here!" ”
This Yang Yuan's nickname is Qingshan, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Brother Feng, your son-in-law has grown up since he was a child, but I didn't expect that now he has also won the Jinshi, and he is still the lord of Yuhang County, which is really gratifying!" ”
Feng Manlou hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Uncle Xie Yang boasts!" It's just that his eyes fell on Yang Qingyun's side. It turned out that next to him was the little lady she met in the morning, Miss Yang Hongcai of the Yang family! She was followed by her maid! ”
Unmarried girls in this era generally rarely go out, and even if they do, they won't go far. This morning, Yang Hongcai heard from his father that the young master of the Feng family was awarded the Jinshi, and he was also named the county master by the official family, and he was very proud. Sighing that he only has one daughter.
Yang Hongcai felt sorry in her heart, and decided to buy it herself to make her father happy, so she went out. Unexpectedly, he met a madman, and he also said what his name was Feng Manlou. It turned out to be this person, the young county magistrate in his father's mouth!
At this moment, of course, he will not give him a good look, although this Feng Manlou is still handsome, in fact, the word handsome is still a certain distance from Feng Manlou, but the facial features are a little more correct, plus the unique temperament of a reader, but there is also a bit of style. Otherwise, the housekeeper would not have ordered him to be a jinshi. In this era, there are still requirements for people's appearance and temperament, and people who are too ugly or disabled have basically no possibility of being officials.
Feng Manlou's heart had already fallen into Yang Hongcai's body, and he didn't pay attention to the nagging between his father and Yang Qingyun.
After the little maid welcomed the two in, Miss Yang was arranged at a table with the ladies of the squire, of course, with the ladies of the other squires. Women and men in this era are not at the same table, especially in such a big scene.
The sound of firecrackers at the door kept ringing, and at this time, the little guy at the door shouted: "Lord Zhu, the county magistrate, has arrived!" "But it turned out to be the magistrate of this county, with the master of the torture room, the master of the prison, and the county lieutenant.
Feng Fuchang hurriedly greeted the gate with Feng Manlou, and Feng Fuchang hurriedly saluted: "The grass people are rich and rich, welcome the county lord to come to the cold house!" Welcome! At the same time, he also saluted the county lieutenant and other officials.
Zhu Zhixian hurriedly supported Feng Fuchang and said, "Outside the wind, don't be polite!" He took a step forward, held Feng Manlou, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Feng is exempt." Now you are also the magistrate of Yuhang County, and you can be regarded as an official of the same dynasty as this county, but you can't deserve such a big gift! The officials also congratulated themselves.
Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "The student is also a member of the county, and I am really grateful to have been taken care of by the county master in the past!" ”
Zhu Zhixian was very happy to see that Feng Manlou was so polite and thoughtful, and he was also very happy to respect himself, and said: "Shame old man, shame old man!" "The mouth is polite, but the heart is secretly refreshing.
Fengfu common people have almost arrived, and hurriedly greeted everyone to take their seats.
In the innermost part of the guest hall, there are Feng Fuchang and his son, as well as Zhu Zhixian and Yang Qingyun, as well as the county government punishment room master who followed Zhu Zhixian, the county lieutenant, the lord Bo, etc.
First of all, Feng Fu Changzhan got up, thanked the people present, and then raised a glass and drank it all, and at the same time introduced Feng Manlou, which can be regarded as clarifying the purpose of today's treat.
Everyone congratulated one after another, and the banquet was the beginning. Feng Manlou doesn't care how many officials are in front of him now, his behavior is not so restrained, but Yang Qingyun, the old man, is also there, Feng Manlou is embarrassed, but he has made up his mind to let him be his father-in-law in the future. And in this era, the father-in-law has a decisive influence on the marriage of his daughter and son-in-law, and the decision is still in his hands, of course, he has to pay more attention, and the etiquette has to be thoughtful.
Yang Qingyun secretly envied in his heart, now is the time to be happy when he is drinking, and the wine is hot. Everyone began to talk about Feng Manlou, Yang Qingyun said half envy, half boasting: "The virtuous nephew is extraordinary, and he is young and promising, he really envy the dead." If the old man had such a son, even if he lived a short life of ten years, he would be willing! ”
At this time, the master of the torture room said: "Yang Yuanwai is said to have a daughter, who gave birth to a sinking fish and a wild goose, gentle and graceful, and knows everything about poetry and etiquette. Why don't you let Brother Feng, a young hero, a handsome man and a girl, it is a story for the ages! ”
All the officials laughed and said yes. Squeezed Yang Qingyun into a speechless place, and thought about it, this posterity is only twenty years old, and he is already a two-rank jinshi, and it is also Yuhangzhi County, which is a big county, where to find such talents, I am afraid that there are only dozens of them in the whole world. Besides, the two families have been friends for so many years, and they have really become in-laws, which is also good for the Yang family. immediately said: "If Brother Feng doesn't dislike it, my old Yang will climb this family business!" ”
Feng Manlou trembled in his heart, he knew that this was the case, why did he have to think of a way, spend so many brain cells, and find a way to take his sister, why didn't he do it earlier. But when he saw his father shaking his head, he sighed in his heart: "It's over, won't my father agree?" ”
