Chapter 214: Capable People
The status is different, Ning Changrong is not as presumptuous as before, and at the dinner table, he repeatedly invited Chang Yuan to say a few words to everyone.
Chang Yuan refused a few times and had no choice but to accept it without pushing, he smiled and watched everyone take the lead in raising the cup, "Today is the home of Mr. Ning's family, since Mr. Ning warmly invited, then I will take the lead, in the special period, we will replace the wine with water, I will respect Mr. Ning's family first." Join our regular army, and we will be a family from now on. Immediately he fell on his back and drank the water from his cup, and the others did the same.
After Ning Changrong finished drinking, he excused himself and said: "The general is too polite, our family is an ordinary person, and we deserve it, and we deserve it." ”
The people sitting at the table knew the details of their family, and when they heard Ning Changrong's words so modestly, everyone couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
Everyman? Ordinary people don't have such great ability, they first avoided Hu Dadao and his group and took the villagers of their hometown to spend more than half a year in the mountains, and they got better and better, and even almost built a city.
He also exchanged the crossbow drawings with them for a large amount of food, and exchanged the peppers for a large amount of cloth and supplies. If it weren't for the imperial army helping them, I'm afraid this family wouldn't have joined them.
Just joined, it's gunpowder again, it's repeating crossbows, etc.
Which one of these things can be called an ordinary person's doing?
Chang Yuan laughed: "Mr. Ning doesn't have to be too humble. ”
Ma Honglin also said: "Yes, Brother Ning, we are all our own people, what are you doing with all those empty things?" Don't learn from those literati, make the literati crepe, obviously when people praise you, you are so happy in your heart, you have to pretend not to care. ”
Mr. Bai, who was sitting on the side, felt as if he had been connotated.
He glanced at Ma Honglin as if he hadn't noticed him, and opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
There were men and women at this table, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi, an old woman, and a half-old child.
The people sitting here were all battlefield generals, or scholars like Mr. Bai, who knew the hu, although they were curious about these two people, but they didn't talk too much, but the two of them didn't feel bored.
Fu Linjun took care of them throughout the whole process, although it was a family banquet in Ningqingxi, but after all, Fu Linjun's identity was different, so she was still the leader during the period, for fear that the two of them would be restrained and keep talking to them.
Seeing that the main table above was chatting and eating, the people below were all let go, but some were restrained and didn't dare to speak loudly.
There are also some female dependents below, but they are not qualified to sit at the main table above, and some women will look curiously at Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi, who are more conspicuous at the main table.
"Why are the two of them sitting there?"
"Who knows? People must have the ability, otherwise where would General Chang let them sit? ”
These ladies are also often invited by Fu Linjun, but they are just small talks between women, and they are rarely able to get in front of Chang Yuan.
It was already a great thing for them to be able to talk to a general's wife by relying on their position as a man, let alone sit with General Chang.
Ning Qingxi and her grandmother had already discussed, and neither of them was very good at dealing with these people, so the main person in charge of speaking was Ning Changrong.
Except for Chang Yuan at the beginning, when he introduced the two of them, they said hello to everyone, and the two of them were only responsible for eating the rest of the tasks.
Fu Linjun would pay attention to the two of them from time to time and say a few words to them, so that they could be more integrated into the collective.
Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San's family, except for Li Dafeng, who didn't come out of the house, everyone else was also sitting at the table, and next to their table, in addition to their own villagers, there would also be some other people who came to eat and drink.
Everyone was a little restrained in the face of these people, and after a while, they found that the person opposite was also a little restrained in the face of them, and when they thought about it, everyone's hearts relaxed a lot.
Eating and chatting, the relationship has unconsciously become a lot closer.
"That's your mother? It's really amazing, I can sit at the same table with General Chang. ”
Ning Laoer's eyes narrowed when he was praised.
"Yes, my mother is very powerful, our village was a disaster at the beginning, if it weren't for my mother, how would they be today?"
Ning Laosan took over the words and began to tell these people how they avoided the homeless, how they ran to the mountains, and how they developed on the mountains.
Everyone was stunned after hearing this.
"Brother, you're lucky to be such a good big brother."
"I'll just say where did the pepper come from? It turned out that your mother made it? That thing is really delicious, I feel uncomfortable eating too much, I don't have to eat and I panic, but unfortunately most of the peppers are transported to the Northland, and we only have a little left here. ”
Ning Laosan was praised by others, as if he was praising him, "I still have some chili peppers at home, my mother will definitely continue to grow them, and I will give you a little bit when the time comes." ”
Ning Laosan felt that something was wrong, his mother hadn't said anything about planting chili peppers, and stabbed him with her elbow, but where could Ning Laosan still take care of this? These people in front of him are all soldiers, and some of them are squad leaders, in the past, when he met these people, when did he not grovel for fear of crashing into other people's own homes and couldn't afford to bear it, now? They are so friendly to themselves, they praise his eldest brother's family vigorously, and don't they praise his eldest brother's family just praise him?
Ning Laosan didn't feel Ning Laosan's anxiety at all.
Those soldiers were happy when they heard Ning Laosan's promise, and they laughed happily: "That's a good feeling!" Brother Changgui, don't worry, we will never take you for nothing, as much as it should be! ”
Ning Laosan was even happier when he heard it.
Ning Lao Er secretly gave a sigh of relief, fortunately he bought it with silver.
Everyone ate very happily at a banquet, and after this exercise, Ning Changrong's family can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Chang Yuan's team, and everyone knows that his family is a capable person who is valued by Chang Yuan.
……
They were all men in the army, and they prepared enough meals, and these people had all eaten up, and there was no soup and water left.
After everyone was sent away, they began to wash the dishes again, and the dishes and chopsticks were returned, with the help of the village chief Ning, the speed was quite fast, and it was all done before dark.
Before leaving, Wang Xiujuan did not forget to promise Wang Hanting and his mother Cai Pozi's three pumpkins.
After tidying up the yard, the family went to see what gifts they had received.
Ning Changrong and Wang Xiujuan are responsible for unpacking the package, and Ning Qingxi is responsible for bookkeeping, everything here is to be remembered, and there is a reference when giving gifts in the future.
Everyone is a man in the army, and most of them were farmers in the past, but in fact, there are no precious things, unless they are generals who have won battles, they can get some rewards such as gold, silver and jewelry, and Wang Hanting and Ma Honglin sent this one.
But at this time, jewelry was not as valuable as silver, but it was also a part of people's hearts, and they did not dislike it.
