0024 Gala Dinner
After worshipping the ancestors, everyone left the ancestral hall. Father Liu felt that he was extremely tired after a day of tossing today, so he simply asked Liu Guangyuan to go out and call a table of wine and food to come back, and Father Liu also took Mother Liu away, it seems that he didn't want Mother Liu to stay here and say something to Brother Liu Haojia.
At this time, Liu Haojia's mother can also understand it! The two sons, the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, and they can be biased towards that one! When a person inherits a knighthood, his future is guaranteed to a certain extent. Although Father Liu said that he was counting on Liu Haojia to take another title back, he also knew that the title was so easy to get!
After Liu's father and Liu's mother left, Liu Haonian said with a red face: "Little Er, I ......"
Liu Haojia waved his hand and said, "Big brother, you don't have to say anything!" I think my father was right! And it was so easy for me to get a knighthood! Now that I have a comprehensive plan, I may be even more knighted than you in the future! ”
Liu Haonian is a few years older than Liu Haojia, and he already knows the meaning of the title! But he didn't want to have trouble with his brother, so he was relieved to hear Liu Haojia say this, and said: "It's best if you really don't blame me!" However, my father promised to give you the position of patriarch, and I will definitely listen to you in the future! You're so much smarter than I am! ”
Liu Haojia said: "Who listens to whom!" Let's just discuss it with the two brothers! Besides, if there is not a father and mother here, there is something that can't be decided, just let them help come up with an idea! ”
Liu Haonian nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes!" That's it! The two of us brothers have one heart, and we will definitely be able to glorify our ancestors! ”
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "No problem, believe me, the good days of our Liu family are still ahead!" ”
Speaking of this, Liu Haojia shook his body and said, "Now I'm tired and falling apart!" Let's go back to our room and get some rest! ”
Liu Haonian also felt sour when he said this, but fortunately, he practiced martial arts diligently, so he didn't feel too sad. So he said: "In the future, you will also practice martial arts more!" You're far worse than I am! ”
Then the two brothers slowly gossiped and went back to their rooms to rest. When Liu Haojia woke up, he was woken up by someone knocking on the door, and it was Liu Jinbao who came to call him to eat. He got up and looked out the window, and saw that it was already dark. After hurriedly washing, he followed Liu Jinbao to the main hall,
At this time, a banquet has been set up in the main hall, and the dishes are very rich! It seems that Father Liu is very happy today, especially the next book!
Seeing Liu Haojia coming, Liu's mother smiled and beckoned him to sit down. And when he arrived, he was completely united. Seeing this, Father Liu raised his wine glass and said, "Today is a good day, our Liu family has moved back to Gu Ningbo's Mansion!" And the biggest hero is Xiao Er! Come, everyone toast Xiaoer! In addition, today is an exception, you boys are allowed to drink a few more drinks! ”
Liu Haonian, Jin Baoxian, and the three of them immediately cheered! Liu Haojia was still young, so he could only raise his glass with a wry smile. However, when the wine reached his mouth, he found that the cup was filled with sweet wine, not the high-count wine that Liu's father and the others drank, so he drank it all with confidence!
After a few rounds of toasting each other, they began to chat excitedly while eating! Today can be described as a happy day, and the Liu family is full of hope and confidence in the future, so it is very happy to cook a meal!
At the end of the banquet, Father Liu, who was a little drunk, suddenly said: "It's a pity, there are only a few of us in the Gu Ningbo Mansion of Nuoda, it's too deserted!" ”
Everyone nodded their heads. In the heyday of such a large Gu Ningbo Mansion, there were almost two hundred people in the clan, including servants, but now there are only seven people on the wine table, which is indeed too deserted!
Liu Guangyuan, who had already drunk and his face was flushed, also sighed and said, "Many of those brothers who left have been unable to be contacted!" If they were here, it would be much more lively today! ”
Liu Haojia asked, "Uncle Guangyuan, who are you talking about?" ”
Liu Guangyuan said with a big tongue: "Of course it's those family members!" ”
Liu Haojia knew that the family he was talking about was not those servants who worked, but elite warriors who were indispensable under every military general in the Ming Dynasty! They used to be called homemakers! The number of subordinates under each military commander is determined by their own financial resources!
These family members are almost linked to the life and death of the head of the family! They are born and fight for their families! And the families sheltered their families and gave them high sums of money. These family members have to maintain the safety of the head of the family when they go to the battlefield, and at the same time help the head of the family to take charge of the troops, which is an important helper of a noble family!
Some of these families changed their surnames with the master's family, and some did not change their surnames. But they are definitely higher than ordinary service in terms of loyalty and status. It's even higher than some of the collateral children!
With Liu Guangyuan's narration, Liu Haojia learned that Gu Ningbo still had six families when he passed it to his grandfather's generation. It's just that later, Gu Ningbo's financial resources ran out, and it became more and more difficult to support, so they had to be gradually dismissed. So by the time Liu's father took over the title, the Liu family had only Liu Guangyuan left! And these people are scattered all over the world, and there is no contact for a long time!
After listening to this, Liu Haojia persuaded and said: "Father, Uncle Guangyuan, you don't have to be sad!" In a few years, our Gu Ningbo Mansion will inevitably become famous, and when the news spreads everywhere, if they hear the news, they will inevitably come to take refuge, and when the time comes, we will treat them well and give them more compensation! ”
Father Liu nodded again and again and said, "That's the truth!" ”
At this time, Liu Guangyuan suddenly said: "Master, do you remember, a few years ago, Guangting once came to Jingshi to kowtow to the master, and I remember that he said that he had a home in Tianjin!" If you look for him, you might find him! ”
Father Liu was very interested in this proposal, but Liu Haojia didn't want to let some people who didn't know the roots enter the mansion, so he said: "Uncle Guangyuan, is this person reliable?" ”
Liu Guangyuan patted his chest and said, "Second Young Master, don't worry, this person Guangting is absolutely reliable!" Like me, he has been in the Liu family for several generations, and he has already changed his surname with his great-grandfather! Besides, if he wasn't reliable, he wouldn't have come to kowtow to the master in the first few years! I remember that he was helping people deliver goods to Jingshi, and he came through this kung fu! ”
Liu Haojia said firmly: "Uncle Guangyuan, don't blame me for being too careful, our family is different from the past, there is a secret recipe for snow candy hidden at home, and it is not easy for people to enter the house!" And in the future, there will be more and more secrets in our family, so it's better to be careful! ”
