As the richest place in Bozhou, Zhangwu's wealth is no less than Lingyuan.

In order to stimulate the economy, Fan Tingnan deliberately delayed the curfew time, which made Zhangwu Baiye more prosperous.

......

In the county guard's mansion, the host enters the wine, the piano is clear, the golden lights are bright, and the feast begins.

Fan Tingnan is worthy of the veteran of officialdom, and the seating of the banquet was arranged very cleverly by him, with the old man in front and the young in the back, the literati on the left and the martial artist on the right, clearly distinguishing and not interfering with each other.

Dead Shichen was originally from an official family, and he was in the same vein as Hu Qiwei, so he was naturally very cordial with them. The literati are elegant, the warriors are arrogant, and they can't pee in a pot at the banquet, and between the cups and cups changed several times, the two county guards also got alive with the martial artists, and they guessed the fist in a few rooms, and under several invitations, Han Li also rolled up his sleeves, and the martial man's bunch of wine tables had exploded.

The three subordinate officials of the county guard, including Peng Shi, talked about the gift of talent, pulled up Hu Qizhong, Xia Qing and the country celebrities to play with the pitching pot, and after the rich family of Zhangwu toasted Lu Ling, he also entered this way, and after a while, he was not strong enough to drink, and fell to the ground crookedly.

To say that the happiest person in this banquet is Gongsun Qiaomu, this old lady is over eighty years old, and Dongfang Chunsheng has to call her "old sister". 'Send the girl into the palace to enjoy the holy face' this wonderful move, she has started to operate two years ago, two years later, Gongsun Qiao Mu thought that this matter would sink into the sea, how do you know that it has become a sea and a wide sky, isn't it gratifying?

Although the young envoy is only ranked eleventh in the fourteenth order of the harem, it is already an honor to make an exception to recruit, and regardless of the good or bad of her granddaughter in the palace, just this golden signboard is enough to make Zhangwu officialdom and shopping malls sell to three points of thin noodles, and with a little management, you can regain the glory of the past.

Thinking that the revival of the family was just around the corner, Gongsun Qiaomu, who had always been gentle and gentle, graceful and never drunk, unconsciously drank a few glasses, chatted with Dongfang Chunsheng about young and interesting things, and smiled like a flower.

Fan Tingnan and Lu Ling didn't know each other before, and they didn't have any life intersections, the two sat side by side in the main seat, complimented each other a few words, exchanged a few glasses of wine, talked about heaven and earth, and then began to look at each other, and there was no follow-up.

It's not about politics, it's not about learning, and it's not about women. A feudal official and an envoy of the imperial court, just like this, there is no match, and it is very boring.

Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu, who were sitting at the end, were also very boring at the moment. Before leaving, Dongfang Chunsheng and Xia Qing specially explained that the two of them should "behave reasonably and are not allowed to drink", the two little yellow hairs, no, should be teenagers and girls, they eat happily at the banquet, and they are tasteless after being half full.

In September last year, Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu were looking at the north building, leaning on the building, watching the moon, and drinking for the first time, and they were more than amazed by the wine, calling it 'Tianzun'. Although Liu Yi doesn't like to drink, he is also very tired after a month of self-cultivation in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and wants to drink a sip of the water in the sky to relieve his fatigue.

So, the two looked at the two pots of wine in front of them with some gluttony, glanced at each other, and sighed!

Gongsun Qiaomu's eldest grandson and Gongsun Haojin's eldest brother, Gongsun Ba, was sitting quietly beside Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu at the moment, chewing every dish on the table, he was a little disdainful and a little jealous of the gaffe of the two. Compared with Gongsun Qiaomu's doting on Gongsun Haojin, Gongsun Qiaomu treats his eldest grandson very harshly, since the age of six, Gongsun Qiaomu requires him to recite in the morning and dusk, write a thousand words, and be diligent. If you don't work hard enough, you will be used by Gongsun Qiaomu to use family law, a severe beating, cold in winter and summer heat, and so on, it has been ten years.

In this environment, even a rotten tree will be carved into a green pine, not to mention a young man like Gongsun Ba.

The sixteen-year-old Gongsun Ba thought that he was well aware of the Yu and Xia mentioned in the "Poems" and "Books", and the spring and autumn of the "Rites" and "Music", and his talents and learning were also recognized by Gongsun Qiaomu and the Gongsun clan, and regarded him as the hope of reviving the family. At a young age, well-read, pampered and given high hopes, Gongsun Ba is inevitably a little arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, but there is also a little bit of longing for blue sky and freedom.

Although Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu lived in Gongsun Mansion, Gongsun Ba always believed that Jiaolong could not be committed to the earth snake, and never took the initiative to contact the two. Gongsun Qiaomu likes Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu very much, but he doesn't say much about Gongsun Ba's move, which can be described as acquiescence.

The Gongsun family is proud of the northern Xinjiang, the king and the marquis, the family and the country, the kind of majesty and unruly arrogance that looks down on the world has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Officials must have official authority and people must have momentum, Gongsun Ba is very contemptuous of Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu's behavior of thinking about wine and gluttony during the banquet. But after thinking about it, the sad faces of the two are also born from the heart, and the true temperament of others is much better than their own temperament here, but if they behave the same as the two of them, they will be severely punished by their grandmother and grandmother for their gaffes when they go home, so they are very jealous.

In general, Gongsun Ba still has more contempt than jealousy in his heart.

In people's hearts, once arrogance and prejudice are born, this situation cannot be changed in the short term, such as Gongsun Ba, a noble son born in a wealthy family, is born with a kind of domineering arrogance. Maybe Gongsun Ba didn't realize it himself, but in his subconscious, he had already defaulted to Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu, two ordinary children, sitting with him, which was already a great humiliation to him.

Therefore, no matter whether Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu are standing or sitting, crying or laughing at today's banquet, Gongsun Ba will look at them with disdain.

This scene, Fan and Lu, who were sitting in the main seat, saw it very clearly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Lu Ling's eyes rolled, and he was the first to speak, "Lord Fan, Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu, the two children, have a straightforward temperament, and the other child named Gongsun Ba is young and old. One is the descendant of the famous sage, the other is the heir of the world's famous people, and the other is the descendant of the successive generations of nobles, and the three children are the descendants of the famous and wealthy families. ”

Lu Ling made this suggestion, he had his own reasons, first, he wanted to see if the three children had real talents, and second, he wanted to see what kind of character Liu Quansheng's son was.

"Haha, Lu Zhonglang knows what I think in my heart, if there is only an examination bureau and no bets, wouldn't it be boring?" Fan Tingnan clapped his hands and said yes, and then laughed, "It's better to bet on pleasure, it's better to do this, Lu Zhonglang and I each have a question, and if the answer is fluent and there is something to say, I will make an exception and let him have a drink, what do you think?" ”

Lu Ling smiled warmly, and the word 'good' came out, Fan Tingnan laughed, shouted, and called the three of them to a closer place, at this time, everyone stopped and looked at each other, with different expressions.

They all speculated about what kind of medicine Fan Tingnan was selling in the gourd.
