Chapter 384: The Position Is Empty Again
Although it is the Pingliang guerrilla general Dai Fengxi's righteous daughter, it is actually not a particularly serious thing. Xu Liang's meaning was to call a few close officials and generals of the Liang army together, set up a few tables of banquets in Xu's mansion at random, and just congratulate them a little. However, Feng Suqin, the eldest lady of the Xu Mansion, disagreed.
She said vigorously: "This is probably not a big deal for our Xu Mansion. But for General Dai, the meaning is very different. General Dai has no relatives in Pingliang City, and his only biological daughter also died in Hanzhong Mansion, the pain of losing his daughter is the most sad time, at this time, it is rare for him to be able to see Xian'er's sister, and he intends to accept Xian'er as a righteous daughter under the love in his heart, which is tantamount to Dai Yingying's resurrection from the dead. How can such an important event not be celebrated? ”
Feng Suqin's words sounded very reasonable, Xu Liang had no way to object, so he had to follow Feng Suqin's intentions to distribute invitations in Pingliang City, inviting officials and gentry who were friendly with Xu Liang and Dai Feng to come and cheer.
At this moment, Xu Liang and Feng Suqin, dressed in brocade robes, stood by the small pond in Xu's mansion, watching the people in the mansion prepare a banquet under the arrangement of Tie Siye.
Xu Liang watched the people busy inside and outside the mansion, with a smile on his face, and said, "Our mansion hasn't been so lively for a long time. Last time, I was married to Yingying......"
Speaking of this, Xu Liang thought of Dai Yingying, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad, and he didn't speak in a daze.
Feng Suqin knew what Xu Liang meant, reached out and squeezed Xu Liang's hand, and said with a forced smile: "Xianggong, you see that today is such a lively day, Sister Ying'er Jiuquan has knowledge, and she will be happy for Old Man Dai and Sister Xian'er." We should be happy for the warbler. ”
Xu Liang nodded. Pack up your feelings and change the subject. looked around and said, "Where did Xian'er go?" ”
Feng Suqin chuckled and said, "Sister Xian'er is worried that she will lose her rudeness when she offers tea to General Dai for a while. I'm asking a few old ladies in the house for guidance. ”
Xu Liang shook his head and chuckled: "It's really hard for her to think so carefully." ”
The two talked and laughed for a while, and then saw Dai Feng, a Pingliang guerrilla general in a flower brocade robe, walking over with a smile, greeting Xu Liang and Feng Suqin, and seeing that the guests in the mansion had arrived one after another, they said goodbye to Xu Liang and went to the gate to greet the guests. Xu Liang frowned slightly, looked at Dai Feng's back and said, "General Dai is old and serious, how could he suddenly think of taking Lou Xian'er as a righteous daughter?" I heard that he rarely goes out these days, and even the affairs of the guerrilla camp are handed over to the deputy general Long Feng. He was a little surprised for a while. I'm a little worried. ”
What to worry about? Naturally, he was worried that Dai Feng suddenly proposed to take over the building fairy as a righteous daughter, would there be another purpose?
Feng Suqin glanced at Xu Liang prettyly, shook her head and chuckled, "Xianggong is too worried." General Dai's character, Su Qin thinks she can see it clearly. He proposed to accept Lou Xian'er as a righteous daughter, and the concubine seemed to be nothing more than two reasons, one was that Lou Xian'er was lively and well-behaved, with a sweet mouth, and got along with General Dai. Second, the fairy and the warbler are of the same age. Seeing Xian'er, General Dai was like seeing Yingying's sister. ”
Xu Liang sighed: "I hope I think about it too much." ”
Feng Suqin tightened Xu Liang, pointed in the direction of the gate, and said with a smile: "Xianggong." Most of the guests have already arrived, and you, as the host of the Xu Mansion, should also go and greet you. ”
Xu Liang suddenly said distressedly: "At the beginning, I said that it would be enough to set up a few tables to celebrate." You have to put on a feast, so troublesome. ”
Feng Suqin pushed Xu Liang to the door. While pushing, he smiled and said: "Xianggong, you can be wronged, and you can receive a lot of congratulatory gifts if you pay a few smiles." Where to find such a good thing! ”
Xu Liang walked forward passively and resisted: "Then you can't let my dignified Pingliang Tongzhi go out to laugh, right?" ”
Feng Suqin said with emotion: "Such a valuable joke, others want to sell it, but they can't sell it." ”
The two laughed and laughed, came to the gate, and gathered with Dai Feng to greet the officials, gentry and businessmen who came to eat the banquet.
After welcoming for a while, Xu Liang saw Hong Chengchou, who was participating in politics in Shaanxi, coming out of a sedan chair, and hurriedly stepped forward with Dai Feng, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries.
The banquet went very smoothly, with a full table of friends and a happy guest and host.
Soon it was time to serve tea, and in the sound of music, the master of ceremonies sang on the side: "The righteous daughter serves tea to the righteous father." ”
I saw Lou Xian'er take the teapot and teacup prepared earlier from the tray on the side of the ring with both hands, poured a full cup of tea, respectfully presented it to Dai Feng with both hands, and said a little shyly: "The child has seen his father-in-law, please drink tea for his father-in-law." ”
Dai Feng's face was full of red light, he took it with a smile, put it to his mouth and took a sip gently, then put it aside, took out a pair of jade bracelets from his arms, and said to Lou Xian'er: "Xian'er, my father-in-law doesn't have anything to do with him, this pair of jade bracelets is the dowry of Yingying's mother's dowry back then, and it was passed to Yingying." Now, the righteous master will hand it over to you. ”
Lou Xian'er was taken aback when she heard this, and said, "Father-in-law, Xian'er can't ask for such a valuable thing." ”
"This is given to you by your father-in-law, so take it." Dai Feng Dao.
"How could I ask for something so important, ......"
"If you take it, you will take it." Somehow, Dai Feng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he raised his voice and said.
Seeing this, Xu Liang said to Lou Xian'er: "Xian'er, this is your father-in-law's heart, you have to take it and keep it carefully." ”
Lou Xian'er nodded, took the bracelet with both hands, and said sweetly: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
Dai Feng saw Lou Xian'er take it, and said continuously: "Okay, good ......"
The master of ceremonies sang loudly again: "Licheng! ”
Lou Xian'er accepted the jade bracelet, and it was inconvenient to stay in the hall for a long time, so she confessed to the guests in the hall and returned to the female relatives.
Dai Feng seemed to be very emotional, and walked into the middle of the guests with a wine jug in his left hand, and the first to arrive was the tables of the generals of the Liang army, and the atmosphere of those tables was immediately lifted to the highest point.
On the main seat, there are still Xu Liang, Hong Shenzheng, Lu Tongzhi, Huang Tuiguan and others.
Hong Senzheng approached Xu Liang, raised his glass and touched Xu Liang lightly, and said, "The newly appointed Pingliang prefect died in an accident near Xi'an Mansion. ”
Xu Liang nodded and said, "A few days ago, people from Shaanxi came to inquire about me, and I told them that this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't know anything about it. ”
Hong Senzheng nodded, and said: "The dignified prefect died on the way to office so inexplicably, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are very angry, and the cabinet of Cao Ge Lao has continuously exerted pressure on the trilateral governor's palace and the three divisions of Shaanxi, asking us to investigate the cause and find out the real culprit." ”
After saying that, Hong participated in politics and stared at Xu Liang's face.
Xu Liang looked calm, took a slice of braised beef and put it in his mouth, and tasted it slowly.
After a while, Xu Liang said: "Although this is a matter of the Governor's Mansion and the Three Divisions of Shaanxi, if you want to use the place of the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect, the Pingliang Mansion will definitely fully cooperate." The current chief cattle auxiliary machine was originally transferred from Xi'an Prefecture, and he is very familiar with the people of the three divisions of Shaanxi, and the contact between the two sides is also smooth. ”
Hong was a little puzzled, but judging from Xu Liang's reaction, he couldn't see any problems.
Hong Shenzheng changed the topic and lowered his voice so low that only Xu Liang could hear it clearly.
Hong said: "Although the death of the new prefect is mostly an accident, this is a great opportunity for you to be loyal to the country. ”
"Oh? Is it? Xu Liang responded lightly.
"Guozhong, your promotion has been frustrated, and I have figured it out with the Governor afterwards." Hong Shenzheng said, "At that time, it happened to be the Jingcha of the second year of Chongzhen, and the adults in the capital were not good at helping Governor Wu speak. Now that Jingcha has passed, the nominated prefect has also died, and the position of the Pingliang prefect is empty again! ”
Hong participated in politics's voice very softly, but there was an indescribable temptation in Xu Liang's ears. (To be continued......)
