The atmosphere on the female side is relatively quiet, but the male side is extremely lively.

In this kind of banquet, the men always have to drink, so that it is more lively than the women's side.

However, everyone is a person with status in the end, and they will not shout loudly when they are happy, push and shove, everyone drinks with a small wine glass, and they are afraid that someone will drink too much and make trouble, so the drinks are specially prepared not to love intoxicating wine.

Lu Zheng, as the only man who can support the door of the Protector's Mansion now, is naturally busy this day.

Even though his third uncle, Lin Zixuan, Wen Tao and Du Yiheng all came to help greet the guests, Lu Zheng was still busy and did not touch the ground.

But it was the turn of the most proud, but it was Gu Lin, the Marquis of Yongning.

To say that Gu Lin has participated in banquets many times, from palace banquets to small gatherings of colleagues, but it is not the same as today, which makes Gu Lin feel that he is so popular.

As Lu Zheng's future father-in-law, Gu Lin was naturally arranged at the main table on the male guest's side, although it was not the absolute main seat, the main seat was called Lu Zheng's own uncle to sit, but Gu Lin was still very happy.

There is no other reason, and the people sitting at this table are all a lot higher than his status.

For example, Lu Zheng's uncle, Scholar Lin, will not talk about it, it is someone's maternal uncle, a relative of Zheng'er Bajing, such as Wen Guogong, the right prime minister, the father and son, the left minister, the military department Shangshu Wang Depu Wang, etc., now they are all heavy figures in the court, none of them are idle people, in the past, how could he have the opportunity to sit with these people, but today, he is sitting with them, and these big people have also taken the initiative to drink with him.

Gu Lin has never received such courtesy since he joined the court as an official, how can he be unhappy.

Although he had tried his best to restrain himself, he was still seen by some people.

In this world, there is always no shortage of people who love to say sour things.

Those officials who originally had a higher official position than Gu Lin and had more holy graces than Gu Lin, seeing Gu Lin sitting in that position, and talking happily with several big people, where would they not be jealous at all.

When he was jealous, he wanted to say something sour, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he gathered around the table and whispered.

Among them, there was an official who didn't have a very good relationship with Gu Lin on weekdays, so he couldn't help but say to the people around him: "Seeing that he is so proud now, if you don't know, you still think that he fought it himself!" ”

This is a very ironic statement, and it is not difficult to guess what you want to insinuate.

So when someone said: "Oh, people have a good life and give birth to a good girl, if we have someone with such ability, we can be proud of ourselves without relying on ourselves!" ”

"Hurry up and be quiet, let others listen, and then tell the other side, you don't care, but the other one, don't you care?"

As he spoke, the man raised his chin slightly towards Lu Zheng.

When the people at this table saw his movements, they all fell silent.

Yes, they don't care about Gu Lin, and they are not afraid of Gu Lin, but they have to take care of Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng is now deeply trusted by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the emperor treats him quite favorably, coupled with his family background and military exploits, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen in the future.

The emperor said in front of the hundred officials that when Lu Zheng became an adult, he would let Lu Zheng inherit the title of Duke of Protector, and at that time, Lu Zheng would not only be the general of Zhenbei, but also the youngest first-class prince in the history of Nanzhao.

Therefore, although the previous words were sour, they may not have spoken to the hearts of the big guys.

Who would have thought that a concubine's daughter would bring such great glory to Gu Lin, a father.

This is true, the world is impermanent!

The sound of gongs and drums on the stage was very lively, and there were cheers from time to time below.

The dishes at the Lu family banquet were prepared very carefully, and there were as many as eight kinds of cold dishes alone, not to mention hot dishes and soups, which were even more varied and endless.

Wine and delicacies, and lively dramas to listen to, a banquet down, can be described as the guests and hosts happy.

Because the Lu family's subordinates are well-trained and very effective, there is no situation where the guests drink too much and make trouble, even if the guests drink a little too much, some people immediately come forward to invite the guests to the warm pavilion next door to rest, basically a bowl of sobering soup down, and they are all sober.

Because last time in the palace, Du Yiheng had been caught in the set of sobering soup, so Lu Zheng paid special attention to this, and even his own guards were dispatched today, just to keep an eye on the movements of all parties, so that some people would not have a chance.

......

Different from the lively scene here in the theater, there is a place in the Protector's Mansion that can be described as very cold.

This is the mountain tower of Lu Ming, the eldest young master of the Lu family.

Compared with the liveliness of the theater, the mountain building can be described as extremely deserted, because today's house is holding a banquet, so the Zheng family will also take away almost all the people around him, this huge courtyard, there are only a few masters and servants in the mountain building, so many people come and go back and forth on weekdays, and now no one comes, you can imagine what the scene will be like when you see the mountain building.

Lu Ming is not in good health, and his daily meals have to be made in the small kitchen, and he never asks for food from the big kitchen, so even if there is a banquet in the house, Lu Ming will not delay eating here.

It's just that people are outside with delicious wine and food, delicacies from the mountains and seas, but Lu Ming is just a light medicinal porridge here, like this every day, he is a saint, and I am afraid that he will be bored.

For lunch today, Lu Ming only drank half a bowl of medicinal porridge, so he refused to drink it again.

Wan Yun persuaded hard, but Lu Ming still refused to eat more, and Wan Yun had no choice but to order someone to serve it first, and asked the small kitchen to put the medicinal porridge on the stove to warm it, in case Lu Ming wanted to eat it and it was too late to do it.

After Wanyun arranged these matters, she returned to Lu Ming's bedside, and as soon as she got closer, she heard Lu Ming ask, "Singing over there?" ”

Wan Yun was about to answer, but heard Lu Ming say to himself: "Yes, the banquet is placed in the theater garden, and this is naturally a ...... to drink and feast while listening to the play."

Wan Yun heard Lu Ming's words faintly feel a little discouraged, her heart suddenly jumped, and she hurriedly said: "It's very noisy over there, it's still the eldest young master who is clean here, and the eldest young master also wants to sleep for a while. ”

Wanyun's original intention was just to divert Lu Ming's attention and tell him not to worry about the outside all the time, but he didn't want to, but Lu Ming was even more unhappy when he said this.

"yes, what can I do but lie in bed and rest?"

As soon as Wan Yun heard this, her face immediately turned white.

At this time, Lu Ming no longer needed her help, moved by himself, and then lay down facing the bed with his back to her.
