Chapter 38: The Birthday Banquet II
Liu Biao took a deep breath to calm his mind, then took out some broken silver, accepted the mountain goods, and sent the villagers back.
When they sat down again in the middle of the seat, the eyes of everyone looking at Liu Qi became different again.
Liu Cong, who was originally the focus of attention, is sore at the moment!
This time.
He completely lost to his brother Liu Qi, but he was unwilling! He was unwilling to accept that he was about to usher in the dawn of victory, but it seemed to be gradually dissipating.
Soon, under the coaxing of Uncle Liu Cong.
The crowd began to chant poems.
It was Liu Cong's turn, and he Lang's original song made everyone's eyes shine and shout Gaocai!
Liu Biao bowed slightly, his son, his character and handling are first-class, and his literary talent is even more outstanding.
"Good, good!" This is an evaluation from Liu Biao.
Soon, it was Liu Qi's turn.
This time, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Qi, and they also faintly looked forward to seeing how much ink this young master who was not very favored on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a sudden change occurred, and one person stood up.
It's not a doubt.
Zhou Budo said: "Brother Liu Qi is amazingly talented!" And Brother Liu Cong's literary style is nothing more than that, according to what I see, it seems to be prestigious! ”
"I'm going to throw bricks and lead the jade, Lang a word, I don't know what you think?"
Liu Biao agreed, since Zhou Budo said so, then how talented he was.
Seeing Liu Biao's attitude, everyone listened attentively, wanting to see Zhou Budo's literary brilliance.
"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky!"
Zhou Budo raised his glass in one hand, and slowly continued in a somewhat hoarse voice full of magnetism: "Rushing to the sea and not returning!" ”
"You don't see, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired......"
"I was born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone!"
“……”
A song will be drunk, and everyone who listens seems to have entered a grand scene full of pride, a mysterious and mysterious feeling, rising between the hearts of everyone present.
And Zhou Budo was naturally very excited.
He secretly recited the poem into the wine, and secretly did not know how many times he recited it, among which the pause in the tone and frustration, the majestic heart, I don't know how much wine he drank to find a little feeling.
This is exactly what Ye Hui designed in advance.
Why didn't Liu Qi come forward to say this word in the audience? There are many reasons, the biggest one is that the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.
It is good for a person to be excellent, but if he is too good, he will invite trouble, especially in these troubled times.
has been out of the limelight again and again, but it will hurt Liu Qi.
When Zhou Budo finished reciting the wine with one hand, he shook his head and sighed in a low voice.
Everyone had just escaped from the drunken scene, but they heard Zhou Budo sigh and couldn't help but be very curious.
Under the questions of the crowd.
Zhou Budo said: "This poem was polished by Brother Liu Qi for me, in terms of talent, I am ashamed to be inferior to Brother Liu Qi!" ”
In the days to come, Brother Liu Qi ...... I still have to learn more from you, and I hope that Brother Liu Qi will teach me more. ”
"If Brother Zhou is not suspicious, we are learning from each other......"
In front of everyone, the two of them blew each other, and hearing Zhou Budo's words, Liu Cong really wanted to find a crack to get into.
You say that even you are not as good as Liu Qi? What about me, do I have to find a rope and hang myself?
What his eldest brother Liu Qi has shown today makes him feel deeply powerless.
He's tired, he really doesn't want to stay any longer.
"Father, the child is not feeling well, so go back to rest first."
“……”
Liu Cong said goodbye to Liu Biao, said goodbye to his mother and uncle, and then smiled bitterly, and left alone without looking at Liu Qi.
When Liu Cong left, Liu Biao was thoughtful.
It's true that he likes this son, but he can't stand the blow so much, just because his brother has shown a good side, and he gives up on it?
Will you be able to take on a big job in the future?
It's good that Liu Cong doesn't leave, but if he leaves, he acknowledges that he is not as good as his brother Liu Qi.
Although Liu Biao, the father of the two, does not have much ambition, he is still quite accurate in looking at people, and at this time, the balance in his heart has quietly tilted towards Liu Qi's side.
At the end of the feast.
The main event is finally here.
Although the congratulatory gifts have been given long ago, there is an unwritten rule during this period, that is, if the congratulatory gifts are valuable enough, they can be taken out separately.
At this time, Ye Hui was dressed in white.
He took advantage of Liu Qi's momentum to open the box.
Gold inlaid jade small ding!
This side of the small tripod shines brightly and shines brightly.
The exquisite workmanship, the complex and mysterious pattern carving, undoubtedly shows that this small tripod cannot be measured by secular prices.
And since ancient times, the tripod has been a heavy weapon.
It is an absolute symbol of power.
It's significant, it's significant.
This Fang Xiaoding can completely suppress the audience and become a well-deserved king of congratulatory gifts.
"Sir!"
Liu Biao was shocked.
He stood up in surprise, his hands raised, his expression of astonishment carrying a great surprise.
To get this thing, Liu Biao is a kind of rise, what kind of virtue can he have?
"This is, a rare treasure, sir, I'm afraid I can't ......"
Ye Hui stood with his hands in his hands.
"That's nature, and this thing is entirely because I appreciate Liu Qi's personality."
"Liu Qi used to be kind to me, and this Ding right is when I return part of the kindness."
Some of the favors are so powerful? So all the kindness, what kind of great kindness should it look like!
Liu Biao's eyes when he looked at his eldest son immediately changed differently.
Suddenly, there was only one thought left in his heart, that is, to ask Liu Qi to be his successor in Jingzhou!
In terms of identity, Liu Qi is his eldest son.
In terms of talent, even Zhou Budo is willing to bow down.
In terms of connections, characters like Ye Hui personally said that Liu Qi was kind to him.
All kinds of circumstances add up, and the best successor in Jingzhou exhales with him, it is the eldest son in front of him, Liu Qi!
"Qi'er!"
After thanking Ye Hui again, Liu Biao said slowly to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was stunned, and his heart was pounding, but he looked calm on the surface, looking at his father Liu Biao respectfully.
A serious remark was uttered by Liu Biao.
In the memory of Liu Qi's mother's death and adulthood, it seems that he has never felt treated like this by his father.
But today, he feels it.
His eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly.
It's a very special feeling, affection? That's right, it's family affection!
And all this, Liu Qi knows, all of them are relying on Ye Hui, if there is no Ye Hui, he will not come to this point at all.
will not let his father be so impressed.
The various forces in Jingzhou, Liu Biao also introduced them to Liu Qi one by one.
Liu Qi looks like a humble gentleman, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, neither humble nor arrogant.
Finally.
This is the end of Liu Biao's birthday banquet.
And Liu Qi was called to the study alone by his father Liu Biao.
