Chapter 255: Hundred Days Banquet
Xiao Jiuxi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Brother Huang, don't worry, these banquets are all at the expense of the King Palace, and the expenses of the King Mansion are separated from the treasury of the Tai Mansion, so there is no suspicion of looting the people's fat and ointment."
Xiao Heng was stunned when he heard this, remembering that in the spring he was still exchanging food with his own rivers and lakes, why did he have so much spare money to hold a banquet in a blink of an eye?
And it seems that he just built a medical center, right? I heard that the dock was repaired before, where did the injury get so much money?
Xiao Jiuxi's old god glanced at him on the ground: "This is the advantage of having a good wife in the family."
"It means it's all the money that my brother and sister have left?" Princess Liang was a little surprised.
When every noble girl gets married, she has a shop Zhuangzi as a dowry, and after she marries, the shop Zhuangzi of her husband's family is also managed by the housewife, so how much money she can have when she handles these is more clear.
That's why she's so surprised.
After all, no matter how much money Zhuangzi shop has, it will be around four or five hundred thousand yuan a year, and it will not be higher.
Four or five hundred thousand is an immeasurable number for an ordinary person, but it is really not much for the royal family, and tens of thousands of dollars will be removed at a time, and a big pomp like Xiao Jiuxi will not be able to come without 200,000.
Even if the construction of the medical hall and the repair of the wharf are paid for by the Yamen, this banquet will be more than 200,000 yuan.
Being able to take out so much money at once can only say that the younger siblings are really powerful.
Xiao Jiuxi smiled: "She is indeed powerful, my virtuous helper."
"Indeed, I felt it when I talked to us that day." Xiao Heng recalled that Li Yewu took the initiative to propose business cooperation, and later this wave of cattle and sheep did get a good response.
In addition to attending the little nephew's 100-day banquet this time, I also came with the purpose of long-term cooperation.
Xiao Jiuxi nodded thoughtfully: "Some time ago, Father-in-law Qian came to buy a large number of cattle and sheep, if the imperial brother doesn't want much, I will pack it for you when I go back, if it is too much, I can only give a part first, and then I can send it to the imperial brother when the next batch of cattle and sheep grow."
Xiao Heng and his wife glanced at each other, and immediately understood where Xiao Jiuxi's money came from.
After all, there has been cooperation, and they also know how much the reserve price of cattle and sheep is, and a large number of cattle and sheep are hundreds of thousands.
It's no wonder that Xiao Jiuxi has the confidence to hold a wedding banquet.
Young people are young people in the end, and they love to spend money when they have money.
Xiao Heng shook his head helplessly: "Although we have a fortune, and my father will also give some rewards, but it is not easy to gather wealth, and it is difficult to predict where to use the money in the future, so we still have to save money."
"I know, Brother Huang." Xiao Jiuxi smiled and nodded.
However, the imperial brother probably didn't know that he had made a fortune recently, of course, Xiao Jiuxi would not be stunned and take out all his bottoms, he still served as the backing of the imperial brothers, and helped them when they needed it.
In this way, Xiao Jiuxi brought them into the Martyr's Mansion.
At this time, Li Yewu was waiting in the house, and when she saw them coming back, she immediately came out with the little protagonist Xiao Xiyu in her arms.
Today, the child is still wrapped in a white gold thread embroidery unicorn swaddling clothes, but there is a small red dot on the door of the head, which is dotted with red pink, which means peace and auspiciousness.
Early in the morning, she took the child to worship heaven and earth and worship God, and after the ceremony, the child was so sleepy that she fell asleep, Li Yewu had no choice but to accompany the child at home, and Xiao Jiuxi went out of the city alone to greet the Liangwang couple.
At this time, King Liang naturally took over Xiao Xiyu.
Originally, Li Yewu and Xiao Jiuxi were worried that Xiao Xiyu, who was picking someone to hug him, would not give face to Liangwang, but who knew that the child was in a good mood today, Liangwang hugged him, and he immediately raised a sweet smile, which looked as cute as a little angel.
The good king is a benevolent lord, where can he go when he sees such a cute baby? Even Princess Liang likes it.
The husband and wife looked at the child with envy, and occasionally glanced at each other, as if they were silently telling that they also wanted to have such a lovely child.
Xiao Jiuxi saw the imperial brother's desire, so he said generously: "I heard that a newborn doll can bring good luck, especially if a married couple hugs him more, they will be happy to have a linzi, and today will be
I have worked hard to help me take care of Xiyu."
King Liang nodded at Xiao Jiuxi with some emotion: "Is his milk name Xiyu?"
"Yes, it was raining heavily, and I heard the good news of his birth in the rain, so I called him happy rain."
Xiao Jiuxi replied simply and rudely, such an explanation Li Yewu was also the first time to hear it, and he was a little speechless for a while. This Xiao Jiuxi really didn't have a word of truth in his mouth, how could he explain it differently to everyone.
It doesn't seem like this is what he said to Cui Xiu before, right?
However, if she complains in her heart, she will not be stupid to debunk it at this time.
Li Yewu didn't hear it, and invited them to eat at the main table with a smile.
The couple just like that, they couldn't put it down and hugged Xiao Xiyu to the table.
When it comes to banquets, the specifications and etiquette of banquets in ancient times are complex and diverse, not to mention the other only the laying of positions and tableware plating, and different social statuses have different specifications and requirements.
And it is not a modern large round table, almost a single table for each family.
If the guest is the same or older than the host, the guest can be allowed to take the throne as a sign of humility.
However, Xiao Jiuxi was crowned king not long ago, and he is also the only king with a title among the three princes, although he is the youngest, it is not the same if he has a title.
Therefore, Xiao Jiuxi sits on the main seat, and there is a royal position on the left and right.
Seeing this, Xiao Heng understood: "The Third Emperor Brother is also coming over?"
"I invited, but the Third Emperor Brother only complied, and no one arrived." Xiao Jiuxi was slightly disappointed.
Xiao Heng sighed: "I heard that the Third Emperor Brother made a lot of trouble over there, and it seems that he has alarmed his father, but I haven't inquired much about the specific situation."
It's no wonder that he is like this, it's really that the three emperor brothers don't like them to interfere, if he knows that the two of them secretly inquire about him, he will definitely be misunderstood as eavesdropping.
Rather than this, it is better to ignore it, so as not to dislike the three emperor brothers.
Xiao Jiuxi also understands Xiao Heng's approach, how can he not be like this, although he was "forced" by Li Yewu to write a letter of care to the imperial brother with seven points of hypocrisy, two parts of hypocrisy and one point of sincerity, but the imperial brother did not reply.
Not replying is the most decent rejection among adults, and Xiao Jiuxi doesn't care anymore.
Who would have thought that when I heard Xiao Heng say this today, it seems that the Third Emperor Brother is indeed holding on.
At this banquet, in addition to the Xiao family brothers, the highest status is Cui Xiu and the divine doctors, in addition to some of their friends, such as the master of the Ma family, the core members of the construction team, and even Long Liu, Long Qi and so on.
Long Qi was not far away, and she heard all the conversations of the Xiao family brothers.
