Chapter 294: Drink This Bowl of Wine
Cao Kun invited everyone to the banquet this time, which was to celebrate his ascension to the position of gang leader, the holder of power in the cottage, that is, he is the only voice and the only decision-maker in this cottage, and his time has come.
The Heyun Cao Gang has always been rich, and the gang leader is overjoyed, so it is naturally extremely luxurious. It stands to reason that he should invite some foreign businessmen who have cooperated with them, perhaps military dignitaries, according to his status in the rivers and lakes, if he wants to entertain these people, they will definitely come. But he just wants to make a low-key announcement in the gang in a low-key manner.
This young scholar finally ascended to the throne.
The cottage is full of joy, with colorful lights and red satin. Killing chickens and sheep, good wine and good meat, all spread on the table, like a wash of cottage haze during this time.
Most of the brothers were busy early in the morning, and even some of the old folks came up to help, and the cottage brothers all went out with joy, all kinds of red satin hung on the trees, and the red lanterns were full of lights, stepping on a piece of red and festive, as if it was like the New Year.
There are some fathers and villagers who can't keep up with the mountain, standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking at the distance from afar, looking at Cao Kun's parliament hall, expecting to see a thing or two.
Some of the sisters-in-law and uncles sang happily, and those simple and long-standing songs echoed in the valley.
The color of black that Cao Kun wore when he arrived showed his sense of majesty, his demeanor looked around solemnly, and now as the lord of the first palace, he was no longer the ignorant teenager, and he was energetic and energetic to establish his prestige.
The big gong in the hall is struck, and all kinds of mountain folk songs are deafening, bursting with a primitive and energetic taste. The aunt and aunt came out, and Zhang Hong danced the Yangge dance.
The hall was filled with all kinds of people, and everyone was talking to each other warmly.
I came with Na Jintang, and as soon as we entered the door, we heard someone shouting loudly and proudly: "The little boss is here!" ”
As soon as we stepped into the hall, many people came up to greet me, most of them the brothers we knew.
Because it was Cao Kun's main banquet, Na Jintang was wearing a particularly low-key dress today, he was wearing a long British black dress, his figure was already burly and straight, and he looked particularly outstanding when he wore this dress, like his usual majesty was covered up, adding a bit of British gentlemanly demeanor.
He grabbed my waist with his big hand and walked over.
The originally lively and extraordinary hall was a little quiet after seeing us coming.
I wore a water-green cheongsam today, which I usually wear elegantly, and most of my outfits were personally selected by Na Jintang, and my hair was curled in a low bun. I can see from the envious eyes of the women around me, they secretly praise and envy my appearance, including my demeanor, such decoration sets off my little face like a flower, and it gives people an illusion, as if today is not Cao Kun's banquet, but my big day.
Of course, I also have to give them the illusion that I am just a weak and beautiful woman. No one would have thought that I would break into the attic a few times three times.
Being a vain woman for the time being is also one of my magic weapons to cover up.
I snuggled obediently in the arm of the brocade, with a shallow smile on the corner of my lips, and the cheongsam outlined my graceful figure clearly, making me look a little less girlish and a little less ~~ woman's charm.
Everyone looked at me and admired me without feeling, heroes and beauties have been matched since ancient times, and they have been good matches since ancient times.
Of course, we were not the protagonists of this matter, and we sat down at the main table under the leadership of our brothers.
Seeing the fragrant clothes and sideburns in the hall, all the brothers gathered together, and saw a long figure stepping forward, and when they saw his brothers, they all shouted: "Cao Gang Master has arrived-"
At this time, it is already dinner time, the backyard of the hall is covered with brown sugar, every place is brightly lit, the whole yard is placed at a short distance by the side of a floor lamp, pull out the wire from the house, you can light up the whole cottage together as day.
Several capable uncles and aunts were greeted warmly by the side, and they were still beaming from morning to night.
Start putting it before it is served*. Najin Tang and I also went to the door with everyone to watch, and looked up at the sky together.
First there was a soft sound, and then the bright light pierced the sky, and the fire trees and silver flowers flew down like a waterfall, and the clouds were as brilliant as the clouds, and the sky dotted with silk was as bright and dazzling as glass, and when it was really gorgeous, the stars were shining.
I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful fireworks in front of me, and I inadvertently rolled my eyes, but I bumped into the deep gaze of the brocade hall.
His eyes were as black as ink, as bright as the stars, and the fireworks shone on his clear face, which made him look even more arrogant, because he had been observing me. I was a little embarrassed by him, and he dared to be so affectionate in front of me, and I was drunk. He smiled lightly, turned his eyes to the sky, and watched the fireworks with me.
After watching the fireworks, it was time to open the feast. This time Cao Kun held a banquet, there are many people around the neighborhood who can get the news in advance, these people are Cao Kun's former subordinates, and they will all be assigned to remote places by Du Heng in the future, everyone is an acquaintance, and they are all reckless heroes, and they naturally have a very heavy atmosphere of rivers and lakes. They were all rough people who were used to shouting and shouting and killing, and when the banquet started, they clamored for everyone to drink.
In the future, everyone brought rows of wine to the table, and the brothers who would meet these things would take the wine and toast it to Cao Kun with a big smile.
"Gang Master Cao, this is the burning knife that my brother brought from Tibet, come and taste these strong wines, congratulations to my eldest brother!" One of the sturdy men picked up a bowl of spirits and stretched out his hand to hand it to Cao Kun.
As soon as Cao Kun took over the wine bowl, the strong aroma of wine came to my nose, and I felt the aroma of wine when I smelled it, and the smell was refreshing. Cao Kun shouted heartily: "Come, I salute you a bowl!" ”
Everyone lifted the bowl high and dried it in one go. There was only a small half in my wine bowl, and the Jintang knew that no one would persuade me to drink again at today's dinner. That's why I'm enjoying it.
I raised my head and dried the small half bowl in one gulp, the liquor went down to my stomach, only to make people feel that the throat burned all the way to the chest, the fire was burning, but I felt extremely happy, the wine outside the gate was indeed more energetic than we had drunk before, I only felt pain, that is, spoiling gently wiped the wine from the corners of my mouth with my hand.
A smell of wine instantly rushed to my head, and I smiled stupidly, I only felt that I wanted to laugh, and I couldn't help but lower my eyes to reveal a pair of sweet dimples at the corners of my mouth, and that Jintang lowered his head and asked me what I was laughing at.
I replied to him stupidly: "There is wine today and drunk today, and there is no wine to drink cold water tomorrow morning." As soon as this sentence came, he laughed heartily.
The protagonist Cao Kun, it seems that he does not refuse to come, no matter who is energetic, he continues to play a dry game, and happily fights with the brothers, his clothes have long been taken off, and he only wears a shirt on the side, which is like two people with his usual scholarly temperament.
Of course, there is another protagonist present who is Na Jintang, after experiencing this series of turmoil, that Jintang has made a lot of effort to their cottage, Cao Kun will naturally look at Na Jintang as a guest, and constantly pull Na Jintang to drink with him.
The two of them are like drunken maniacs, but the Jintang still maintains a majestic temperament, and the Jintang that Cao Kun constantly introduces to everyone, in the meantime, he doesn't know who he drank a lot of wine to.
And those cottage brothers are used to it, plus everyone drinks, at this moment how I jump rope standing there, it is amazing, all eyes are straight, and some people are even praising one by one, only saying that the little boss is really blessed to marry this beautiful lady.
If it was in normal times, that Jintang would definitely not allow others to say this about me, but I also know that this is a brother in the cottage, my uncle's is used to it, they don't say anything sweet at all, they only say the straightforward words in their hearts. Every word they utter is a compliment, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise.
Na Jintang didn't say anything when he heard these words, just smiled, of course I'm okay, I've seen a lot of today's scene, and I don't care what they say, I'm usually a girl who doesn't care about other people's eyes. Sometimes these simple folk customs are the truest confessions, because I know that they all want to have pain, and know that I used to be the same in the orphanage, simple and direct without any invincible survival.
I looked at Na Jintang, his image also stood out among many people, and the kind of natural kingly aura exuded by his body was actually something that no one could resist. I looked at him affectionately, chic in the crowd, with his status and his gaze, he can mingle with the cottage brothers, which shows that he is an extremely heroic person.
I love people like that.
Perhaps sensing my gaze, he walked up to me and stretched out his hand to me, his face a little drunk, but still very clear in his eyes. Because of drinking, his eyes were even more radiant and extraordinary.
"Come on." He opened his mouth gently, and before I could get closer, he brought it himself, and walked to the table with my waist around him: "Borrow wine and offer Buddha, thank you for always accompanying me." After that, we drank this wine, and the love and affection in our hearts deepened.
Seeing that we are so affectionate, everyone knows that Cao Kun attaches great importance to us, and some people who are good at observing colors raised the bowl in their hands and said to me: "Madam, I drank with you for the first time today, I~~ You did it, you are free!" So saying, he drank it all, and raised the bowl, and there was not a drop of wine left.
This sentence reminded the brothers from all walks of life, and they all brought the bowls and gave them a toast to me. That Jintang wouldn't let me drink too much wine, picked up the wine bowl, and blocked it for me one by one, causing these copycat brothers to protest. said that the little boss is a hero who stands up to the sky in their minds, how can anyone be afraid of his wife. There are even a few strong drinkers who are bold and slap the table loudly, which is simply lively.
This doesn't seem to me to be meant to embarrass me, but I think they really lack a genuine respect for the brocade, and just express their inner feelings in the rudeest way possible.
