Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kong Lao was born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, that is, the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Kong Lao never had a birthday on his birthday, Kong Lao mentioned the birthday banquet to the day before every year, one came to the Dragon Boat Festival on the day of the Confucian family or the guests can rest assured that the festival and the family reunite, the second is the meaning of Kong Lao, on his birthday, he hopes to have a quiet environment, thinking about his parents, and his wife who has shared weal and woe.
Huaan Cai'an is the giant of Longhua, it controls one-third of Longhua's economy, it stomps its feet, and the domestic economic community has to shake three times, such a behemoth, who doesn't want to hug the thigh?
Because Hua'an's status is too transcendent, even if the Kong family doesn't hold a banquet, others will find a way to squeeze into the door, and the Kong family simply holds a reward banquet every year to satisfy everyone's enthusiasm for coming to the party.
If it is said that the banquet before last year was full of guests, and the birthday banquet of Kong Lao should be crowded, not only the rich people of Yanjing will rush to come, but also the business leaders and bigwigs of Longhua provinces will also go to Beijing from all over the world.
In addition to the mixed business circles, the Ministry of Economic and Trade Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, agriculture, forestry and other departments and ministerial-level figures will also be present in person to congratulate the birthday, even if there are people who are red-eyed, there is no way, who calls Confucius investment involves all walks of life, and has a pivotal position in all industries, and each industry pays taxes for the country every year in 100 million yuan.
Hua'an has made outstanding contributions to the country's economy, and Kong Lao has been received by the three heads of state before and after, and he deserves to be the only one in the business world.
If you are not satisfied, okay, you work hard to create wealth, if you can do the step that the Kong family did, you can also enjoy the same treatment as Kong Lao.
If you can't do it, then consciously clamp the little tail, close the beak, and don't talk crookedly there.
Kong Lao Da Shou, the Confucian family's Regal Hotel in the first three days will no longer receive guests, began to arrange the birthday banquet, get invited guests, the Confucian family will arrange accommodation, the Regal Hotel is not enough, there is another five-star hotel, Bao Zhun will not let the guests find their own accommodation, as for the guests to bring friends, of course, to solve the problem of staying, if you also want the Confucian family Zhang Luo, guests and friends with friends, friends and friends, even if all the hotels of the Kong family are vacated may not be able to live.
In the same way, there is a limit to the number of people who can be invited, and generally the inviter can bring two people, that is, a wife or children, and if you want to bring friends, you can't bring your wife and children.
If there is no limit on the number of people, all of them drag their children and daughters, and they also bring friends, and friends bring their wives and daughters or bring friends, and one person can bring out dozens of people, and there are not thousands of them, and the Confucian Hotel is not so big to accept guests.
Kong Lao's birthday banquet, using the most special floor of the Regal Hotel, the whole floor has been renovated, the partition wall is made of the best sound insulation material made of plates to make a living wall page, the first floor is divided into many halls, once necessary, all the partition walls can be put away, several halls are connected into a whole, so as to make a large-scale event field.
The floor is generally used for weddings or large-scale charity events, or for large-scale events such as exhibitions, and the venue is wide enough to accommodate many people.
The Confucian family has arranged the floors in a splendid manner, but it is exquisite and elegant everywhere, and even the lights are soft and gentle.
From the entrance of the hotel to the banquet hall, well-cultivated waiters greet the guests politely.
The Kong family and the high-level personnel of Hua'an greeted the guests in the banquet hall, the big birthday star Kong Lao, wearing a red longevity Tang costume, sat in front of the huge birthday screen in front of the hall, and accepted the birthday speeches of the guests, Kong Yangfan, the eldest son of the Kong family, accompanied his father, and Kong Lao's bodyguards were not far away.
Ordinary guests don't have the opportunity to talk to Kong Lao at all, and they are directly received by the grandchildren of the Kong family and the high-level personnel of Hua'an, and only the top big ones have the opportunity to say a few words to Kong Lao.
Jiang Dong and Yu Dong came hand in hand, and the waiter led them to Kong Lao, chatted happily, and took the initiative to go to the side to help the Kong family greet the guests.
There are more and more guests, when Mr. Xiao Gu and Zhao Lao arrived, the hall was already crowded, one old and one young went to see Kong Lao, Zhao Lao was dragged by Yu Dong Jiang Dong to accompany the grandchildren of the Kong family to help with the people who came to celebrate his birthday, and Mr. Xiao Gu was left by Kong Lao to talk to him.
The guests are swaying in front of their eyes, Kong Lao's eyes are all flowered, Gu Shuai is handsome and sunny, looking pleasing to the eye, with Gu Shuai by his side, he feels that the air is fragrant.
Gu Shuai was favored by Kong Lao, and he was not idle, he took the tea sent by the waiter, and did not hesitate to be a tea doctor to help make tea, that is, to quench Kong Lao's thirst, but also to the distinguished guests who were personally met by Kong Lao.
Gu Shuai brother went to Kong Lao's side, and a large area around him was full of sunshine, and similarly, when the guests around saw Gu Shuai, their eyes fell to the ground in shock, and those who didn't know immediately went to investigate, and those who knew each other were so impressed that they could be qualified to sit next to Kong Lao, and they were absolutely bullish.
And when some bigwigs went to see Kong Lao and saw Gu Shuai, they also showed an expression of disbelief.
The expressions of those people also pleased Kong Lao, and the old man smiled from ear to ear, look, how witty he is, it is really the smartest decision to catch a handsome little guy to accompany him.
Finally a little free, Kong Lao smiled and asked Gu Handsome Brother: "Xiao Gu, why didn't you come with the little girl of Shi Xiaozi's family today?
"You always talk about July," the corners of Gu Junxu's lips rose, and he hooked an elegant smile: "Xiao July has been very good lately, but her friend is a little nervous because her brother is going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and she is busy appeasing her best friend." ”
Kong Lao Miao understood what Mr. Gu said about the little girl's friend, his smile was even thicker, and after a few seconds, he sighed: "Alas, I don't know if the little girl will come, but she promised me to come last year." ”
Last year, the little girl promised to help him screw Shi Xiaozi here, Shi Xiaozi was still on a business trip, he was really worried that the little girl would feel that she couldn't screw Shi Xiaozi, and she herself was embarrassed to come.
"Kong Lao rest assured, Xiao July is not a person who does not believe in her word, if there is really something, she will also ask someone to say it, if she doesn't ask someone to say that she can't come, she will definitely come. Mr. Xiao Gu smiled warmly, and his tone was gentle.
That dose of chicken soup for the soul made Kong Lao very useful, and the faded smile was as strong as wine.
He originally wanted to talk to Gu Shuai more, but the guests didn't give him a chance, and another wave of guests arrived, and they were still the leaders of various departments of the state, Minister Li of the Ministry of Finance, Chen Shuyi of the Ministry of Economic and Trade and others, all in suits and leather shoes, and walked towards Kong Lao with red faces.
When the leaders of various departments of the state came, Mr. Kong had to give some face, say a few words with him, drink a cup of tea, and Mr. Xiao Gu was indifferently a tea boy, making tea, and the waiters served tea to the guests.
The moment Chen Shuyi saw Gu Shuai, he was surprised in his heart, he knew that Gu Shuai, and also knew that Handsome Brother and Instructor's little girl were friends, he didn't expect that Gu Shuaige was so favored by Kong Lao.
Don't talk about him, Minister Li was also surprised and his heart surged, he didn't expect that Kong Lao would look at the young Gu Handsome guy differently.
Several public officials sat for a while, and the second prince of Kong came to pick up the people and sent them to the specially arranged seats.
As soon as the people left here, the second master of the Qin family brought Qin Hongde and Li Qianjin, a young couple, to pay homage to Kong Lao.
Li Yuhuan, who was carefully dressed, almost lost her temper when she saw the handsome guy Gu next to Kong Lao, both the Qin family and the Li family wanted to cooperate with the Kong family, but the Kong family didn't say anything, but I didn't expect that the little girl's friend easily sat next to Kong Lao.
Second Master Qin warmly congratulated him on his birthday, and Old Kong treated him like any other guest, and after a few cold words, the Kong family led Second Master Qin and a few people away.
The guests came one after another, and after several waves of peaks, it finally reached eight o'clock.
The banquet is about to begin, the master of ceremonies who presided over the rostrum, delivered a speech, and then, on behalf of the Kong family, Kong Dong addressed the guests, he just took the stage, inspected the hall again, and before he spoke, he burst into a big smile: "Instructor Shi, you are the latest, teach my father to look forward to it." ”
Instructor is here?
Most of the guests almost couldn't believe it, and even many people in the Kong family didn't believe it, after all, Instructor Shi had never come to congratulate Kong Lao on his birthday for more than ten years, and today they suddenly said that Instructor Shi was coming, and they were also skeptical.
Minister Li, Qin Er, and Chen Shuyi all showed a look of surprise, didn't Instructor Shi go to Sichuan and Shu yesterday, why did he suddenly appear in Yanjing?
Li Qianjin couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, even if Instructor Shi hated her and heard his name, she still had girlish feelings in her heart for no reason.
That expression fell in Qin Hongde's eyes, he secretly despised it, women are really cheap, you are good to her, she is hypocritical in every way, you don't praise her, she will never forget you.
"Is Shi Boy here?" The surprise on Old Kong's face couldn't be hidden, the smile in his eyes was even more heartfelt, and his tone was full of love that couldn't be concealed.
Everyone also looked at the door on the other side of the main hall, and sure enough, they saw the waiter leading several people Shi Shiran in, the men were all in ink-colored suits and red shirts, and the two women were wearing aqua blue ankle-length cheongsams, bright and beautiful, without heavy makeup, they could already amaze the audience.
Everyone's eyes fell on the tallest man, the handsome and extraordinary man, as tall as a green pine, with a frosty aura that could freeze three feet, but such a beautiful young man with an ice cube face bowed his head and was willing to be a son of a cow - he carried a person on his back!
The young man carried a little girl on his back, and the little girl's hair was simply tied in a thousand braids in the front, and the one in the back was scattered, pinned with a few shining flowers, and wore glow-colored clothes.
The little girl lay on the back of the handsome young man, supported his shoulder with one hand, and held a big cat with the other, one person and one cat, looking around with beautiful eyes, which was very cute.
When the local people in Yanjing saw the beautiful instructor coming in with the little girl on his back, there was nothing else in their minds except the exclamation mark, and the instructor spoiled his little girl so much that he was really spoiled.
People who didn't know the instructor looked straight.
Jiang Dong, Yu Dong, Zhao Lao and others once again refreshed their understanding of the little girl, the little girl has never had the most fierce behavior, only more fierce behavior.
Kong Dong silently supported his forehead, virtuous nephew, your image of a tough guy for many years is gone!
Kong Lao saw the young man carrying the little girl calmly, and smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were crowded into a pile: "Ouch, little girl, how old are you this year, why do you still need someone to carry it." ”
Qu Qiyue opened his eyes and was frantically scanning the crowd, and when he heard Kong Lao quusing himself, he immediately looked over and replied with a serious face: "Kong Lao, this little girl is eight years old this year, which is the age of being smart and cute. ”
Burst-
Everyone laughed and laughed, with all kinds of expressions.
Mr. Xiao Gu smiled in the spring breeze, which warmed people's hearts.
"Ouch, the little girl is not ashamed, she is embarrassed to say that she is eight years old, and she laughs at me......" Kong Lao slapped the table with a smile, the little girl was not ashamed, eighteen years old said eight years old, pretending to be tender.
The doctor walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward to support Kong Lao, and helped him to calm down: "Kong Lao, you can't ask the age of the little girl in the future, wow, our little girl is really eight years old, and she will always be cute, smart, and beautiful." ”
"Okay, I don't ask, I don't ask, Shi boy, bring the little girl over and let me take a look. "Kong Lao can't laugh well, these boys will open their eyes one by two and talk nonsense to spoil the little girl to be happy, let them play.
Under the eyes of everyone, the beautiful young man cherished the words like gold, only said "um", carried the little girl on his back, and accompanied the two girls Xiang Liu and the little parrot in men's clothes with Di Chaohai, stepped on the red carpet leading to Kong Lao, and walked to Kong Lao's table like a dragon.
Xiang Erwu and Wu performed a standard semi-squatting blessing ceremony: "Kong Lao auspicious wishes, I wish you a long life like the green pine of Nanshan Mountain, the blessing of the East China Sea and the clear water of the East China Sea are boundless, the pine is evergreen, the water always flows, the people are always healthy, the children and grandchildren are full of Huatang, and the longevity is endless." ”
"Okay, good! Good pine evergreen water often flows people are always healthy, the female doll said well, sail, take the red envelope. Kong Lao straightened his waist with joy, and his old eyes shone like torches.
Everyone looked confused, thinking that they were celebrating their birthdays every year, why did they never see Confucius give people red envelopes?
They said that they really didn't find any difference, if it was really different, that is, people often say that "longevity is as deep as the southern pine, and happiness is as deep as the East China Sea", and the two beauties said that "longevity is like the green pine of Nanshan Mountain, and the blessing is like the blue water of the East China Sea is boundless", which is just another way of saying.
The second son of the Kong family listened to his father's summons, immediately trotted to his father's side, took a bulging bag from the assistant's hand, opened it and handed it to the master.
Kong Lao took out a handful of red envelopes from his bag, stood up, and gave one to each of the two girls, and there was also no shortage of Miss Jane: "You little girl, and you are dressed as a man." ”
"Little July likes me like this. The little parrot winked mischievously.
Kong Lao shook his head amusedly: "You, you are crazy like a boy, and you can play with a child like a little girl." The old man smiled and said, stretched out his hand to press the little girl next to the instructor on the top of her head: "Little girl, why don't you wish me a happy birthday." ”
"People want to say, you're too busy, so I'll keep it. Qu Qiyue climbed down from his uncle's back, stood aside and watched Kong Laofa send a red envelope, and took another claw rub, deflating his mouth in protest.
"I'll listen to it, it's not pleasing to people, and I don't give red envelopes. ”
"Well, then I'll not say it. Qu Qiyue pouted: "Old Kong, you give a red envelope directly, give a double, four times and eight times, I don't have too much." ”
Everyone: "......" has seen such a thick-skinned person, but I have never seen such a thick-skinned person.
Xiao Qiyue is really the most special person, Mr. Xiao Gu is smiling as beautiful as spring flowers, so handsome that people can't open their eyes.
"Hmph, I knew you were going to cheat. Kong Lao knocked on the little girl's head, gave a red envelope, and took another one to the little tiger: "Little girl's little friend, you are still cute, buy you a red envelope to eat, don't give it to your master, she is a stingy and scoundrel little laipi." ”
The little tiger clenched the red envelope with his paws, his eyes sparkled, well, this human being is good, a good person! It is really a good person, like the plague god and the doctor never gave him a red envelope, those two are bad people.
Kong Yanghang wanted to cover his face, Dad, what are you doing?
Kong Lao didn't care what others thought, he gave the little girl a red envelope, and when he turned around, he also gave Mr. Xiao Gu a red envelope, and the little girl's children had to give a red envelope to make the children happy.
Qu Qiyue pinched the red envelope and looked up with a smile: "Uncle, is the bread here a check?"
"That's right," the corners of the beauty instructor's eyes rose, and the corners of his lips overflowed with a shallow smile: "I have time to withdraw money tomorrow, otherwise it will be invalid after expiration." ”
"Wow!" Qu Qiyue's eyes are as bright as stars, checks, there must be a lot of Grandpa Mao!
The cold-faced god took away the little girl's red envelope and the little tiger's red envelope and handed them to the brothers beside him, Di Chaohai helped the little girl carry the backpack, uncover the suit, and stuff the red envelope into the backpack.
Xiang Erwu and Liu Foodie, and the little parrot also handed over the red envelope to Di Da's guards for safekeeping, but they didn't carry the red envelope in their pockets.
The cold-faced beauty instructor didn't say auspicious words, and Kong Lao was very satisfied, so he asked his sons to do whatever they wanted, and he left the cold-faced boy and the little girls to accompany him.
Kong Yangfan and Kong Yanghang hurriedly performed their duties, and the eldest son of the Kong family finished his speech, and everyone offered birthday gifts.
The Kong family doesn't need money, they don't need any rare treasures, you must know that Hua'an has spent countless huge sums of money to bring back rare treasures that have been scattered overseas, and has also donated huge sums of money for the protection of cultural relics.
The Kong family does not accept expensive gifts, and the giver also knows the rules, and the gift is only to be ingenious, so that Kong Lao can be interested, so as to remember himself.
When everyone presents their birthday gifts, the waiters also start to serve the meal.
Qu Qiyue pulled the corner of the uncle's clothes, the man squatted down, picked up the little girl again, and slowly moved away from the crowd, Kong Yangfan saw that Instructor Shi was leaving, quietly retreated, bypassed a group of people, and went to chase Instructor Shi.
The beauty instructor carried the little girl out of the hall to the outside corridor, and each entrance on the entire floor was guarded by security guards, and no idle people would come in, and the guests were all in the hall, and it was quiet outside.
The cold-faced god walked far away from the hall, stood still, and asked the little man on his back in a low voice: "Little girl, is there something wrong?"
