Wu Yong invited everyone into the living room, Zhu Zhu accompanied Yuan Kui to sit on the top, Wu Yong and Zhu Yuan sat on the right, and Yuan Shu and Yuan Mei sat on the left.

Perhaps because of Yuan Kui's arrival, no one else came to Wu Yong's courtyard. In the next time, it was completely Yuan Kui who asked Wu Yong about some information, and even took the school to test Wu Yong's knowledge.

Wu Yong replied decently, which made Yuan Kui sigh again and again: "What a genius!" And Yuan Mei on the other side looked at Wu Yong frequently, every time Wu Yong looked over, she hurriedly avoided her gaze, and when Wu Yong no longer paid attention to her, she began to peek at Wu Yong again.

After some discussion, it was sunset, Yuan Kui got up and said goodbye unsatisfied, and before leaving, he did not forget to ask Wu Yong: "If you have free time in the future, just come to Anguo Tinghou's mansion." Wu Yong agreed, and sent Yuan Kui and the three of them out of the gate of the Houhou Mansion, and waited for them to get into the carriage before returning to the courtyard.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Cen Sheng walked in with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the lord, Luoyang is famous!" "Today's endless stream of guests in the Houfu Mansion really opened his eyes, the magnates with titles came one after another, no wonder the people of the world tried their best to come to Luoyang, how could there be such a grand occasion in Wancheng.

Wu Yong waved his hand at him and said weakly, "Where have you been this day?" I'm dying of exhaustion. Cen Sheng said with a smile: "The subordinates are counting the gifts, the lord may not know that the gifts sent by the guests today are piled up." Then he thought of something again, patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, the lord quickly clean up, and the family banquet in the house is about to begin." "The so-called family banquet is actually a banquet prepared by the five surnamed families for Wu Yong, and the reason why it is only held now is because he is really selected to serve by the Son of Heaven now, and he is also famous.

After a few days of side knocking, Wu Yong knew that there were many relatives left in Luoyang by the five surnamed families.

Throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, if you want to say which founding emperor is the best for meritorious heroes, it must be Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

Although he is also like other emperors, he is strictly guarded against meritorious heroes, but it is only

"The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden", no

"The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook". Emperor Guangwu only deprived the heroes of their actual rights, but rewarded them generously, made them marquises, and allowed them to live in Luoyang, resulting in the presence of these heroes in major ceremonies of the imperial court.

So these heroes built luxurious mansions in Luoyang, took over their families and relatives, and settled down for a long time.

First, they can take care of each other, and secondly, when necessary, they can also rely on their power to find a way out for their juniors, and they can become a half-official position.

For example, Dou Rong, who took the initiative to sacrifice the land of Hexi, was not only ranked among the three princes, but also in the Dou family, from his ancestors and grandsons, the official mansion looked at Jingyi, and the slaves and maids were thousands, and there was no comparison among relatives and heroes

"One duke, two marquises, three princesses, four or two thousand stones, when they go hand in hand." It can be seen that its impact is far-reaching.

This is also the case with the family with the five surnames, although there has been some decline in recent years, but there are still many children in the princely mansions.

is the Zhuo family who has been deprived, and there are still many children of the Zhuo family who came to Luoyang to make a living in the former Panxiang Marquis's mansion.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong muttered,

"The most annoying thing about the family banquet! I don't want to go at all. ”

"If you don't want to go, you have to go!" Cheng Zhao pulled him up and began to help him groom and dress up. About half an hour later, Wu Yong came to the hall where the family banquet was held alone, and at this time, there was a lot of people, and there were scenes of children laughing and playing.

Originally, he wanted to bring the three people in the other courtyard with him, but they were resolutely opposed, so he gave up.

"Wu Yong is here!" I don't know who shouted this, and the noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

Zhu Yuan quickly walked past the crowd, walked in front of Wu Yong, took his hand and said, "You can count it, the elders have been waiting for a long time, follow me into the inner room to meet them." Before Wu Yong could speak, someone on the side said in a strange manner: "You have such a big face, let so many uncles and brothers wait for you." Zhu Yuan glared at the man, and reprimanded loudly: "Wu Ao, what are you shouting, Wu Yong received a lot of people today, and only before a stick of incense did he send away Lord Yuan Kui and his party." Didn't you see that he deliberately dressed up for this family dinner? If you talk nonsense, be careful that I tell your father to go. Wu Ao wanted to say something, but was pulled by Wu Zheng beside him,

"Be careful that your father will lock you up in the firewood room again." Wu Yong was like a deflated ball, holding his head and not saying a word.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Wu Zheng couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, and then said to Wu Yong: "The younger brother is still young, don't be like him." ”

"Forehead......" Wu Yong couldn't laugh or cry, he was only twelve years old, so Wu Ao looked older than him, not to mention that he didn't mean to worry about him.

Just when Wu Yong wanted to say something, the door of the inner room suddenly opened, and five middle-aged men walked out of it, and the person at the head was Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Jun saw Wu Yong at a glance, and immediately smiled and beckoned: "Wu Yong, come here, I will introduce a few uncles to you." Wu Yong stepped forward quickly and saluted the five people: "Don't blame the uncles, the kid is the first time to participate in such a grand family banquet, and he is worried that he will lose his manners, so he came over after freshening up and dressing up, and he missed a few hours." ”

"Little things! Don't take it personally. Zhu Jun patted Wu Yong's not too broad shoulder, comforted, and then asked: "What happened in the hall just now, we heard a quarrel in the inner room. This sentence scared Wu Ao not far away enough, and he hurriedly hid behind his brother Wu Zheng with a pale face.

Wu Yong glanced at Wu Ao, who was trembling, with the rest of his eyes, and said with a smile: "When you see your nephew for the first time, you are more curious about me, and you are vying to talk to your nephew." ”

"Haha, you'll speak for them!" Zhu Jun laughed a few times, and then pointed to the woman and explained to Wu Yong: "This is your Uncle Li, who is now in charge of the Gushi Hou Mansion. ”

"I've seen my uncle!" Wu Yong hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Li Huang sighed: "Sure enough, my five-surname family has an outstanding descendant like you, which is really blessed by the ancestors." ”

"Uncle praised it falsely, and the kid didn't dare to be ashamed." Wu Yong was a little embarrassed, he would be praised when he saw an elder now, which made him a little embarrassed.

Next, Zhu Jun introduced him to three other middle-aged men.

"This is your Uncle Wu, who is now in charge of the Pingchun Waiting Mansion."

"This is your uncle, who is now in charge of the Beixiang Hou Mansion."

"This is your Uncle Zhu, who is now in charge of the former Panxiang Hou Mansion." Wu Yongyi stepped forward to salute one by one, and caused a burst of praise.

Except for the Panxiang Hou Zhuo family, which was deknighted, and the second son of Zhuo Taijun was in charge of the Hou Mansion, the other four Hou Mansions were all controlled by their own families.

The five elders first congratulated Wu Yong on becoming the Son of Heaven's attendant, and then inquired about it

The detailed process of "two and a half "Shangshu" essays" was announced by Zhu Jun. After a while, seeing that the dishes were ready, Zhu Jun said to Wu Yong with a smile: "You just stay in the hall to eat, it is estimated that you are not comfortable with a few of our elders." ”

"Whoa!" Wu Yong replied respectfully, he himself didn't want to eat with a few elders. When the five of them entered the inner room and closed the door, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhu Yuan walked over, took Wu Yong's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll introduce you to some close brothers." So Wu Yong began to follow Zhu Yuan in this huge living room and played a game of recognizing people.

In fact, Wu Yong was a little resistant to this, and he could clearly feel the rejection of some people towards him. At first, he was still a little confused, but it wasn't until Zhu Yuan introduced the small half of the crowd that he understood the reason.

It turned out that these people who rejected him were all descendants of the Hou Mansion, just like when he first entered the Hou Mansion, Zhu Zi began to reject him, worried that Wu Yong would steal their attention in the Mansion.

In this regard, Wu Yong did not take them to heart. Those who are willing to let go of their prejudices and talk to him, Wu Yong also greets him with a smile.

The people who gave him a look, Wu Yong also treated them coldly. Although Zhu Yuan and Wu Zheng tried their best to maneuver in the middle, those descendants of the Hou Mansion still did not mince words about Wu Yong.

Wu Yong was not used to them, so he directly chose to avoid their cynicism and came to a secluded corner to eat and drink.

Then there was a strange scene in the hall, a child eating and drinking, and the others gathered to point fingers at him.

Zhu Zi couldn't stand it at first, didn't say a word, and secretly ran to the backyard. After all, Wu Yong is the soul of later generations, and later generations are used to seeing Internet exposure, so they don't care about this little trick in front of them, and still go their own way.

At this time, a servant girl came to greet Wu Yong,

"Xiao Langjun, Mrs. Tai called you to go to the backyard."

"Here we go!" Wu Yong confessed to Zhu Yuan and Wu Zheng, and during this time, they have been with him.

After Wu Yong left, someone said disdainfully: "What a genius prodigy, I think it's just a lucky country boy, looking at the way he ate just now, what is the difference between him and a hungry homeless person, it's just a loss of our identity as a family with five surnames, no matter how we say it, after being a marquis, how can we be so disregarded about our own image!" ”

"Yes, it's insulting to Sven, he can also be the Son of Heaven, God is really unfair!" Some people immediately chimed in, they were really jealous that Wu Yong could be the Son of Heaven's attendant, and they couldn't understand how Wu Yong was elected.

Zhu Yuan and Wu Zheng glanced at each other, their eyesight and insight were much more far-reaching than those in the hall, don't look at Wu Yong simply as a servant of the Son of Heaven, the complexity of it, it is estimated that even the rulers of the five surname families may not be able to figure it out.

You must know that when they first heard that Wu Yong was valued by the Son of Heaven and selected as an attendant, the heads of the family were only surprised, and then they didn't pay attention to it, because they didn't believe that Wu Yong would really be the Son of Heaven's attendant.

After all, Luoyang doesn't know how many powerful families are watching this position, and their five families don't even have the qualifications to compete.

But to their surprise, Wu Yong, without the help of any family forces with the five surnames, really passed the assessment of Taifu and Sangong, and was finally designated as the Son of Heaven to study, and even the three emperors looked at him differently, which is really incomprehensible.

Therefore, there is today's wind and dust washing banquet, which can be regarded as an affirmation of Wu Yong by the five surnamed families.
