Chen Chen and Zheng Junnan were resting in the pavilion, and a servant came over to say that the banquet had begun, and asked them to follow him to the banquet.

After the red-clothed man shuttled through the mansion for a while, they arrived at the location of the banquet prepared for them by the Fan family.

Now there were two rows of guests squatting in the room, and behind each person there were two or three attendants standing respectfully. There are huge bouquets of flowers and delicate candlesticks on the table, but there is much less place to put food. Hey, who's here to eat?

Zheng Junnan suddenly saw Zheng Li who was waving to him, he said goodbye to Chen Chen, and went over to sit next to his father.

Chen Chen looked at the people sitting on both sides of the table, and at the front were the organizers Fan Zuolin and Fan Chengxu, and the ones after them looked like they were already a handful of years, and they were also high-level officials of the imperial court. For them, their identity and status are very clear, but Chenchen's understanding of the people on the scene is only maintained at the first meeting. He was heartbroken, closed his eyes and sat down in a random position, if no one reminded him, it should be fine.

Crowds kept coming in through the door, and the sides of the tables were gradually filled.

"The hour is up, and the feast !!"

A loud voice came, passing everyone's ears and flying out the door, and two teams of good-looking maids walked to the table with plates of prepared delicacies.

"Okay," Fan Zuolin raised his glass and stood up, and all the guests also stood up, "Thank you colleagues for taking the time to attend the banquet for my child's birthday, if there is a need in the future, Fan will definitely go all out." ”

"No, no, no."

"Lord Fan is polite!"

Fan Zuolin raised his hand, raised the wine glass in his hand high, and said, "Please." ”

The others also raised their cups in their hands and said in unison, "Please!" ”

After toasting, after everyone took a shallow sip of the contents of their glasses, Fan Zuolin put down the wine glass with his left hand, spread his right hand down, and said, "Please sit." ”

"Please!"

Everyone sat down again, and at this moment, the feast really began.

The sound of chopsticks colliding with plates kept coming from his ears, and the wine glasses and the man's laughter were intertwined, but these couldn't attract the attention of the slightest bit of Chenchen, and he didn't come here for the twists and turns in the officialdom, at this moment his eyes were all on the dishes in front of him.

In front of him were carrots carved into peacocks and green radish, with only a few pieces of stewed meat beside them; There is tofu that has been cut to the thickness of a hair, and some green and red vegetables soaked in the soup; There was a piece of mashed potatoes that had been piled up squarely, and I don't know what sauce was used to draw a huge peony on it.

Looking at these dishes, Chen Chen raised his chopsticks and put them on top of the peacock meat, hesitated again and again, and shrank back; Picking up a spoonful of potatoes, he hesitated and shrank back. No, these dishes look very magnificent, and you can see the deep skills of the chef, but you can't help but eat them, I want to eat mashed potatoes, for fear of ruining the beautiful painting on them; I wanted to eat stew, but it turned out that there were only a few pieces; I want to eat tofu, not to mention those colorful dishes that Chenchen hasn't seen and don't know if he can eat it, how to clip the tiny tofu! (Is there a possibility that this is soup?) ）

Chenchen poked his head out into the distance, and there was still yellow silk wrapped around something I don't know, looking like an insect. (Lovers of food are furious!) There's even another one that's been emitting smoke from the moment it has been put down, making it impossible to see what's inside.

Looking at Chen Chen's uncertain appearance, the servant who came out of nowhere behind him said, "What's wrong?" Isn't the meal to your liking? ”

His voice suddenly sounded, startling Chenchen. Chen Chen hurriedly said: "No, no, I just ...... Allergy to potatoes. ”

Wow, I'm eating here and someone is spying on me? Chen Chen's heart moved, and he pointed to the distance and said, "Hey, someone called you there, you go over and take a look." ”

"Okay, let's take my leave."

Finally took the person behind him away, in order not to look so unsociable, Chen Chen picked up the chopsticks, even if he didn't clip anything, he kept sending it to his mouth, pretending to be enjoying the same deliciousness.

Finally, the birthday feast came to an end in the midst of everyone's words, and the sky was now pitch black, and even the moon was obscured by unknown dark clouds. Someone had already stood up and said hello to Fan Zuolin and left, Chen Chen tried his best to sweep everyone present with a secret eye, and did not find Zheng Li and Zheng Junnan, thinking that he should have gone back, so he also stood up and wanted to leave after saying goodbye.

What he didn't expect was that when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Fan Chengxu.

"I'm sorry, you can't leave now, my father still has something to do with you." Fan Chengxu said.

"Oh?" Chen Chen snorted lightly, and they ignored themselves throughout the banquet, thinking that they had forgotten me. "Why did Father Ling call me, it should be more than just a meal, right?"

Fan Chengxu squinted his eyes, and couldn't see what he was thinking in the dark night light: "Why is it, don't you know if you continue to watch?" ”

"Hahahaha, okay." Chen Chen rolled up his sleeves and turned his head back to the banquet, found the position he had just sat down again, poured a cup of tea alone, and tasted it without squinting.

Chen Chen stared at the pale yellow tea in the cup, but his mind was not here at all. Even if he wasn't looking in that direction, he could still feel a burning gaze falling from the top of the table. Hmph, I'm going to see what you're up to.

At this time, Fan Zuolin, who was the leader, did not show any flaws on his face, still with his smile that left no trace: "Everyone, I have found an excellent place to enjoy flowers outside the city in recent days, where a large area of 'Strange Dream Orchid' is planted. Everyone knows that this flower reveals its full beauty at night. Why don't we go and enjoy the flowers together? ”

Fan Zuolin, as the host of the banquet, who would dare to disagree at this moment? Everyone also nodded in agreement with that false smile.

Fan Mansion is located in the most central and concise position of Yunyang City, if you walk to the outside of the city, it will not only take a long time, but it is also a very difficult thing for this group of wingless birds who have lived in the mansion for a long time.

Therefore, in the end, there were only five or six people who accompanied Fan Zuolin to go outside the city. But again, these people were all in high positions and were very good friends with him. After a while, the carriages representing their families stopped in front of the Fan Mansion.
