Chapter 4: The Banquet

"Actually, that's the case," said the oil Lao Liu, rubbing his hands together and smiling.

"Huh?" Lu Zhe's brows furrowed slightly.

"I see that you have done a good job since you came here, and we are talking about it again, in fact, this is it, I want to invite you to my house for a meal today" You Lao Liu finally said his purpose, and after speaking, he also glanced at Lu Zhe with his eyes.

Lu Zhe was a little stunned when he heard this, the three leaders of Qingxi Wharf invited guests to dinner, such a good thing may not be invited even if someone wants to go, but today, such a good thing has fallen on him, and he can't help but feel a little surprised.

"Hey, are you going or not" Seeing that Lu Zhe didn't react, the sixth oil urged.

"Okay, of course go, how can I not go if you have a treat" Coming back to his senses, although Lu Zhe was happy, he didn't come out, after all, he couldn't jump up happily, which would make people think that he hadn't seen the world, but even if he jumped up, it didn't matter, because, in this Qingxi Wharf to eat at the house of the three leaders, only those high-ranking officials and nobles have the opportunity.

"But, what about my little ash?" Lu Zhe began to make trouble, if he went to eat at Youlaoliu, then Xiao Ash would definitely starve, with his body, if he didn't eat a meal, he would definitely be hungry, and the food he left behind could only be eaten by him twice.

"Hey, what should I do, in this way, you go to my house for dinner, Xiao Ash, then I will send someone to bring him some good ones, just to make up for him" You Lao Liu patted his chest and said.

"Okay, that's fine, it's not a way to eat steamed buns and pickles all the time" After hearing the assurance of the sixth oil, Lu Zhe's face showed a smile.

He got into the carriage of his green fire horse that was crossed by six horses and beast kings, and ran wildly, and soon after, he arrived at the home of the oil Lao Liu, and after getting off the car, what appeared in front of Lu Zhe was a luxuriously decorated gate, this gate was almost a miniature version of the city gate of Lingyun City, the door leaf made of red silk wood, and the lion ring made of Han gold and copper, this gate alone is estimated to cost more than 100,000 gold coins, you know, although this red silk wood is not rare, it can also be regarded as a precious wood species. How much red silk wood is needed for such a large door? Don't mention this Han gold and copper, five thousand gold coins per catty, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it. Although the two pull rings are not big, it is no problem to use five or six catties of Hanjin copper. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Zhe was amazed by the life of the rich.

"Obediently, a rich man is a rich man, and there is a good house on top of this gate alone," Lu Zhe muttered in a low voice.

"What are you doing in a daze, go in," the voice of the sixth oil came from the left.

followed the oil six to the gate, and when they walked to the gate, the two guards bowed like oil six and saluted, but when they saw Lu Zhe, they all said "huh". Looking at the young man in front of them, dressed in a shirt made of gray cloth, with a few patches and cuts on it, they really couldn't think of any reason for him to walk with their master, and when they saw him and his master chatting happily, they had to swallow their doubts into their stomachs.

Soon the door was opened. Lu Zheqi and You Lao Liu entered the courtyard, and what attracted their eyes were luxuriously decorated pavilions and rockeries in lotus ponds. Yahuan and the nursing home walked back and forth in the courtyard. Seeing this scene, Lu Zhe's admiration was even greater.

"Come with me," You Lao Liu's words interrupted Lu Zhe, who was enjoying the scenery.

Shrugged his shoulders, followed the oil Lao Liu, and after walking through the large and small houses, he came to a house with more luxurious decorations than any house he had just seen. Looking at the house carefully, all the wood in the house is made of red nanmu. The roof is all gold tile, and the ground is made of green cypress stone steps and floor tiles, in short, this house cannot be bought without 1.8 million gold coins.

"Look at it again" It was still the words of the sixth oil that interrupted Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe didn't speak, he lowered his head and stuck out his tongue.

"I can't afford it, can't I have an eye addiction," Lu Zhe said silently in his heart.

Pushing open the door, Lu Zhe and You Lao Liu entered the inner hall, all the furniture in it was made of high-grade wood, even the teacups were made of Qingjun porcelain, Oil Lao Liu sat in the middle of the hall, and Lu Zhe sat on the left side to drink tea. And the sixth oil instructed his subordinates to prepare for today's dinner.

When he was chatting with the oil laoliu, a person came in from the main gate and interrupted the conversation between lu zhe and the oil laoliu, lu zhe took a sip of tea casually, slowly put the teacup on the table, and turned his head to look at the person who came in.

The person who came in was a young girl, much younger than Xue Ling'er, about eleven or twelve years old, this girl was wearing a pale pink dress, and her hair was coiled on the top of her head and a golden cross was inserted in her hair. This girl also has a beautiful face that is not inferior to Xue Ling'er, and there are faint similarities with Xue Ling'er, and she is also a beauty embryo. Compared with Xue Ling'er, it lacks the former's coldness and more liveliness, and its beauty can compete with the Xue Ling'er she saw this morning.

After the girl entered the hall, she looked at a person sitting in the hall, and was slightly stunned, and then strode towards the oil sixth who was sitting in the middle of the hall.

The girl walked quickly in front of Lu Zhe, arrived in front of the sixth oil, and then reached the leg of the sixth oil, and the sixth oil hugged her with a smile.

Because he kept looking at the face of the sixth oil, Lu Zhe couldn't stand it anymore, and finally held it to the extreme and laughed. When he found out that he had lost his temper, he hurriedly picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea.

Lu Zhe's smile made the oil old six and the girl a little confused, and the oil old six thought that he was so intimate with this girl in front of him, so he quickly helped the girl up, pulled over a chair and let the girl do his right.

"I'm sorry, you're smiling, my daughter is like this, she loves to make trouble," You Lao Liu explained with a smile.

"Daughter, this is your daughter, the one in the morning?" Lu Zhe put down the teacup and asked suspiciously, although he had already guessed the identity of this girl, he was embarrassed to explain, and then he could only pretend to be confused.

"Oh, it's my eldest daughter in the morning, and this is my second daughter," You Lao Liu explained after hearing Lu Zhe's question.

"Oh, I see, that's it, it's expensive...... What do you call it" After Lu Zhe heard the explanation of the sixth oil, he immediately asked again.

"My name is Xuefei" didn't wait for the sixth oil to open his mouth, but the girl introduced herself.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lu Zhe couldn't help but be stunned, this attitude was completely different from her sister who cherished words like gold.

"Don't be surprised, I'm not like that iceberg, I'm very easy to get along with" The girl seemed to know Lu Zhe's doubts, and before Lu Zhe could ask, she had already explained.

Hearing Xue Fei's explanation, Lu Zhe swallowed what he was about to say back to his stomach, raised his eyebrows casually, dissolved his embarrassing demeanor, took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: It seems that Miss Xue Fei is very lively.

"That's, who is like that iceberg, hanging a face all day long," Xue Fei snorted and said.

"Shut up, what do you say about your sister, but she's also your sister," You Lao Liu interrupted Xue Fei's words and said a little angrily.

Reprimanded by her father, Xue Fei muttered, sat on the chair and fiddled with her fingers without saying a word, and for a while, the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

"Ahem, by the way, why didn't you see Miss Ling'er" Lu Zhe coughed dryly twice, and then said.

"She, she should be in her own house at this time, and I'll send someone to call her later" You Lao Liu looked at the sky and replied.

"Don't call me, I'm here myself" Outside the door, a cold voice came, making everyone look at the door.

A familiar figure slowly stepped into the inner hall, Lu Zhe looked at this figure, it was Xue Ling'er who entered the door, and the only difference from what she saw in the morning was that she changed into a light blue shirt, and her hair was still perpendicular to her waist. The purple ribbon is still tied to the right sideburns, and the beautiful face and delicate figure add up to completely exude its noble temperament.

His eyes still didn't stay on her for too long, and he quickly withdrew his gaze from Xue Ling'er, and Lu Zhe was still drinking tea without waves.

Bent down to the oil Lao Liu and saluted, and Xue Ling'er walked opposite Lu Zhe. It's good now, it's hard for Lu Zhe to see her if he doesn't want to. So, Lu Zhe hurriedly turned his head to the door.

Just when the atmosphere was instantly awkward, an old man walked in from outside the door, the old man looked to be in his sixties, with white hair on his head.

After the old man entered the dining hall, he bowed to the old man, and then the old man's voice came out

"Master, the dinner is ready, please come to the dining hall to eat" The gray-haired old man saluted to the old man.

"Oh, Lu Zhe, let's go eat," You Lao Liu stood up and said.

Lu Zhe stood up and walked out of the hall side by side with Youlaoliu, while Xue Ling'er and Xue Fei walked out of the hall after the two of them.

When he came to the dining hall, there was a red round table in the center, which was full of food, to be honest, it was the first time Lu Zhe had seen so many dishes. However, there is still politeness, so Lu Zhe did not sit down to eat in a hurry, but politely waited until the sixth oil sat down before slowly sitting down, when Xue Fei saw Lu Zhe's behavior like this, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, none of the guys who came to the house before were so polite.

When Lu Zhe and You Lao Liu sat down, Xue Ling'er and Xue Fei sat down slowly.

Lu Zhe looked around, there were only six people in the entire dining hall, in addition to the four people who were eating, there were two maids standing behind the sixth oil man, who seemed to be pouring wine. Other than that, there are only people who serve food non-stop.

"Eat," said the sixth oil, looking at the people who were sitting.

Picking up the bowl in front of him, Lu Zhe took a bite of rice, and then admired in his heart that the rice eaten by rich people is different from that eaten by ordinary people, although Lu Zhe has no financial ability to buy rice, but there are also many people on the dock who invite him to eat, so Lu Zhe still has the opportunity to eat white rice. However, it is the first time to eat such delicious rice, this rice can be distinguished from the difference between the rice eaten by ordinary people from the color, this rice color is crystal clear, the taste is light and sweet, very refreshing, worthy of being eaten by rich people.

"Come, eat vegetables" You Lao Liu took a bite of food and gave it to Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe took the dish and ate it with great gratitude.

"Come, pour wine," the sixth oil shouted to the two maids in the back.

The two girls in the back didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and poured the wine bottle full of the wine glasses of the oil old six, while the other one filled Lu Zhe's wine glasses.

"Hey, I don't know how to drink" Lu Zhe hurriedly stopped.

"Hey, how can a man not drink, come, your sixth uncle, I will accompany you to have a few drinks today" You Lao Liu took his wine glass and persuaded Lu Zhe.

"Okay, today your nephew Lu will accompany you and have a glass" Lu Zhe was a little embarrassed when he saw that the sixth oil persuaded him to drink, and then he picked up the wine glass and said.

After the "dry" oil Lao Liu finished speaking, he drank it all, and after drinking, he turned the wine glass upside down to show Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe naturally understood what the oil Lao Liu meant, and then drank it all and poured the wine glass upside down.

Seeing Lu Zhe so refreshing, the sixth oil elder was happy, and then drank a few glasses with Lu Zhe.

Just when the table was halfway through eating, suddenly, the door of the closed dining hall suddenly opened, and a group of black-clothed people came in from outside, about four or five people, among them, a black-clothed man standing in front of him held a knife in his right hand and shouted at the oil old six: oil old six, you want your dog's life today!
