Chapter 943: Farewell Banquet

In fact, the people of Eastern Qin did not say that there was a farewell banquet, which was actually that people wanted to come to the princess's mansion to reunite with Bai Heran on the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, so they temporarily pulled out such a statement.

It doesn't matter if the white crane is dyed, she just thinks that the family has a meal together, no matter where the location is chosen, in short, there is a grandmother by her side, an uncle and aunt also sit at the same table, and younger brothers, sisters, cousins and cousins are surrounded by her, even the Hong family Lin is no longer excluded as an aunt and is not allowed to go to the main table, she feels very happy and warm.

That's what a home looks like! There is no red-faced quarrel, no intrigue, and even Tan occasionally says a few words sourly, he feels that this is the fireworks in the world and the life that ordinary people should have.

Today's banquet is only open for one table, it is a large table, and it is a special table made by the princess's mansion.

This kind of dining table is the idea proposed by Bai Tsuru on the day he first arrived at the princess's mansion, and it is designed according to the turntable of the later world hotel.

Although it is not a glass tabletop, it is the same as a wooden tabletop. The process is simple, that is, an axis is added in the middle of two tabletops, one large and one small, and the craftsmen who do carpentry work in Tianci Town have made it in one day, and they are just used today. He also said that if it is practical, it will be made in batches after the year, and a batch will be made for the princess's mansion, and then a few samples will be sent to Tianci Town, which family can be customized, and if the work is good in the future, it will simply set up a unified woodworking workshop in Tianci Town, specializing in tables.

As soon as Bai Heran saw this table, he remembered the incident that Ji Bo reported to her, and he wanted to laugh in his heart. Because the carpenter in the town said that the idea was hers, so she had to take the big head, and she still let her set up this carpentry workshop, and then they went to work in the workshop she opened, and they just took the wages they deserved, and they were not greedy.

But in fact, where would she be short of that little silver, the reason why she came up with this idea was mainly to facilitate her own use, and later the carpenters in the town thought of using this to make money, and she was naturally willing to let them earn it. She doesn't participate in any earnings, this is the benefit of her, the lord of the fiefdom, to the people.

Moreover, Bai Heran also thought of many things in the future through a turntable, and she could actually put forward her creativity and let the craftsmen in Tianci Town realize it. If there are not enough people in the town, or if there is a shortage of jobs, then find someone from outside, or directly join the town, or come to be a master, it is okay. In the future, it will be produced in the town and sold in the city, all of which will be done by her people, and it will be a one-stop service, and it must be that the town of God will become rich very quickly.

She was a little distracted, and she felt that someone had pulled her sleeve, and when she turned her head, she saw that the old lady was looking at her with a smile, and asked, "What did Ah Ran think of?" You didn't even hear your second uncle talk to you. ”

Bai Heran realized that he was really a little rude, everyone had just sat down around the table, and she, the host, slipped away first, didn't this snub the guests?

So he hurriedly owed to the second master Bai Xingwu, "Second uncle, don't blame, Ah Ran was a little distracted just now, or I will punish myself with three glasses of wine first, as a reparation for the second uncle!" As she spoke, she was about to serve the wine glass, and even Qi Huang behind her filled her with wine.

Bai Xingwu laughed angrily, "This little girl, new here, right?" Your master is real, and you are also real. She said that she punished herself with three glasses, so you really poured her wine? I don't look at how old she is, how can she drink three glasses of wine. Come on, second uncle is teasing you! But Ah Ran, we are all at your house today, or in the name of having a New Year's dinner, as the master of this Tianci Town, should you say a few words? ”

When Bai Heran heard this, he waved his hand again and again, "Second uncle, don't tease me, grandmother is sitting here, where is my turn to say a few words?" If you want to say it, it's also grandmother who said it. ”

Bai Zhenzhen smiled on the side, "The second sister's face is red, is this stage fright?" I haven't seen you frightened because of something before, why is this person still thin-skinned when he returns to Tianci Town? It's not like you! ”

Bai Crane glared at her angrily, "You mean I used to be thick-skinned?" ”

Bai Zhenzhen quarreled with her: "What do you think? Hahaha, grandmother, don't help her, let her be a big man today, and let her tell us a few words by herself. Speaking of which, our Bai family hasn't been so lively for many years, especially when I eat with my second uncle, second aunt and third aunt, I remember that there was such a scene when I was very young, and then even if it was the New Year, we ate our own food, and even on the first day of the new year, it was very boring to get together as a family. Bai Zhenzhen was a little lonely when she said this, and she didn't know whether she thought of her father or the third uncle who had not yet returned from Qingzhou.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little dull, Bai Heran sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that there were some things that the Bai clan would never be able to overcome, so he was not in a hurry to rectify this matter for a while, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere: "It was before, and now it is now, no matter what happened before, aren't we okay now?" The third uncle didn't come back because he was guarding the border for the emperor, which was his obligation as a general, and we should be proud of him. It is precisely because of people like the third uncle guarding the border that we can have a good year with peace of mind and steadfastness, so I propose that we pay tribute to the third uncle with this first glass of wine today. ”

This proposal was immediately responded, and first of all, Bai Haoxuan opened his mouth loudly: "Yes, respect the third uncle, the third uncle is the big hero of our family!" After speaking, he also said to Bai Haofeng beside him, "Brother Feng, you are so good, you have a heroic father." ”

Bai Haofeng was also happy, and that feeling of pride and pride could not be hidden.

So the people raised their glasses together, arched their hands towards the far west, and drank them all.

The old lady also made an exception to drink, and she always thought that the third child was not her own child, but a concubine, so she felt awkward. But now she wants to open it too. What about the biological, and what about the non-biological? Now that she is not biological, she has taken her to her home and waited for her, but her biological wants to harm her once or twice, and she wishes that she would die early. In this comparison, the concubine is much stronger than the parent.

She patted Bai Heran beside her, "Ah Ran, your second uncle is right, let's come here today, you are the master, you should say a few words." Don't be afraid, grandmother is sitting here to support you, you can say whatever you want, no one will pick on you. ”

"Yes, Ah Ran, let's talk about it!" The Hong family also looked at her, "It's been a year, since you came back from Luoyang, and now, another year has passed." We all know that you have a lot to say in your heart, and you don't have much opportunity on weekdays, so you might as well use this meal and this glass of wine to talk about what is in your heart. You kid has a lot of thoughts, and there are always words in our hearts, and we feel uncomfortable when we see them. ”

Bai Zhenzhen also opened her mouth again: "Sister, you can say it, I will say it after you finish speaking, I also have a stomach of things to say." ”

Bai Yanyu tilted her neck, drained the wine in the wine glass that had just been poured again, and said when she was finished: "Second sister finished speaking, Zhen Zhen said, Zhen Zhen finished speaking, and I said." Mrs. Hong was right, she held back her words in her heart, not to say that she was uncomfortable. ”

Bai Heran can especially understand these two sisters, this is probably the happiest year since Chun Yulan's death. So he no longer refused, but nodded and said, "Since I am asked to say it, then I will talk about it." She also raised her wine glass, learned the way Bai Yan spoke, and raised her head to drink the wine in the glass. Behind him, Qi Huang hesitated, but still filled the wine again.

"Today is the New Year's Banquet, since the name of this meal is given to the New Year, it means that let's say goodbye to the past year. It's already time to say goodbye, so I don't want to always look back and remember the past. No matter how bad it was, we all came through, and no matter how wonderful it was, we all went through it. The road that has been traveled cannot be turned back, but fortunately, although the road is bumpy, it is also better than bad, better than bad. Even though there are still many dissatisfactions, I feel that it is always better than in previous years. At least for me, that's the case. ”

At this point, she raised her glass again, "I'm not just talking about the past year, but many years in the past. The resignation is the white crane that was once locked in the hut, and the greeting is the world-famous princess today. Those who deceive me and deceive me and harm me are the treacherous villains who deceive me and deceive me, and welcome my relatives and friends who can sit at the same table with me and have fun. What I want to say is that an acquaintance is not easy, and I hope that we will be together every year and four seasons for a long time. ”

"Yes, we get together every year, and we will be safe for a long time!" Bai Xingwu shouted, and then the old lady also followed, and then the Hong family and others also shouted this sentence together, "Get together every year, and be safe for a long time." ”

People raise their glasses and drink them down, and when they put them down, they look at each other and laugh.

Bai Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Originally, I really wanted to recall the past, but the second sister directly blocked my words. But the second sister is right, the past is the past, whether it is good or bad, it is no longer interesting to turn over and look at it. What matters is the road ahead, and people always have to look ahead. So I won't say those words about reminiscing about the past, maybe I will make a good wish for the future! I wish all the girls in our family can find a good husband, and all the boys can follow their own ideals and have a future that they are willing to have. Of course, when you grow up in the future, you will marry a good daughter-in-law who is knowledgeable, understanding, and loves each other, which is also a must. ”

After speaking, he reached out to pat Bai Haoxuan's head, and after patting it, he thought about it, and patted Bai Haofeng's head again, "You two, have you listened?" I have remembered that no matter what I do in the future, I must follow my own heart and my original intention. Don't let it slip away, let alone be swayed by interests and power. My sister doesn't want you to follow my father's path......"
