Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Dinner Party at the Mansion (1)
It snowed: An An, do you want this? How old are you, and you still call Brother Hua Kan! Oops, the flesh is numb to me!
I'm not a plum: I'm really a little cheeky. it! You're maliciously selling cuteness, right?
YMAAN XIA: But what should I call if I don't call my brother?
[An An anchor: That's what you said, what's your name if you don't call your brother? When I called the master, they didn't say that they would accept me as an apprentice; Called brother? Do you think it's appropriate for me to call me brother? 】
It snowed: I imagined the scene. Alas, forget it!
I'm not a plum: Bad cold-_-||, forget it, An'an, you feel free. Anyway, you don't feel bad a few times a day!
Jiang Narao followed everyone all the way to the banquet hall, and said a few words to the audience with a smile all the way.
Soon, the horses of the people passed through the woods, passed by the great lake that led to the house, and arrived at the banquet hall.
The hall where the banquet was held was very wide, and the inside and outside of the hall had been laid with mats and low tables. The reason why there are seats inside and outside is because there are so many guests coming to the house, and there are usually several people from each house.
This type of feast is usually a single table, with the guest of honor behind the first or second table of each table and the rest of the family seated in the back.
The people dismounted a little further outside the banquet hall, and the servants led the horses of each family, after which they sought out their own family members, and the whole family took their seats together.
Jiang Ze took his younger brothers and sisters to see his father and second uncle from afar, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's kind of finding someone. He brought his younger siblings with him, and it was really stressful.
The eldest brother Jiang Ze didn't know that there was such a word at this time, but he was already deeply affected by it.
When Jiang Xi saw his children, the first thing he said was:
"Have you taken care of your younger siblings?"
Jiang Ruoyang's first sentence when he saw his son and daughter was:
"Have fun, huh?"
The contrast between the styles of home education is strong.
This is not a good place to elaborate, so after a few simple words, I went to the table with the servants.
Everyone has an invitation card in their hands, and the servants will assign seats according to the rank of the invitation.
The invitation that Jiang Xi was holding was obtained by him, and of course the position was not good.
But fortunately, it's still in the house, even in the corner, it's better than being arranged outside the door.
It's just that in this position, if they come to the master's house for a while, they are afraid that they will not be able to hear what the master of the house says!
Jiang Xi brought people to his own position, he made the first seat with Fu Man, and Jiang Ruoyang took Jiang's mother to sit a little behind him. Grandpa is behind the uncle's left. There are two tables in the back, Jiang Ze with his younger brothers and sisters, and Jiang Chiyu and Jiang Ruoyang in the other.
The Jiang family is small, but it is not crowded.
At this time, it was the time when people were seated one after another, and Jiang Xi, as a businessman who had been in Beihao City for many years, knew a lot of people. Except for the ones he had just met while wandering around, when other people with names and surnames entered from the door, he would introduce Jiang Ruoyang to him.
"The third seat on the left should be the Huan family, it is said that a hundred years ago the Huan family and the Xiang family were a family, the ancestors were brothers, and this time the Huan family came from the Qi country. But I don't know why. ”
"Those who are just now are the Le family, the leader should be Le Cheng, the second son of the head of the Le family, very important, the one behind him should be the children of the Le family, I don't know who they are, but I heard that there is a son who is very hypocritical with the Hua family.
Oh, the chief on the right hand should be the Hua family. The chief of the left hand should be from the Rui family. The Rui family has a queen, and now there is Rui Jia, the general of the Pillar Kingdom, I heard that this time also came, and the mighty man at the head should be.
The fact that so many people were invited to the Xiang family's flower banquet this time shows the status of the Xiang family.
It's just a pity that these are all characters in front of us that our family can't climb......"
Jiang Ruoyang also listened attentively to Jiang Xi's explanation, but after listening, he glanced back at his children.
Thanks to the blessing of the live broadcast room, among the people who were said by Jiang Xi to be unclimbable, he knew several of them! Jiang Chiyu also used his trained ability to memorize everyone in the field. It's a habit to be in case you need it.
As a result, he also heard the uncle's words of regret, and turned his head to meet Jiang Ze Jiang Yang's gaze.
Jiang Ze looked at his father, should he say hello to his father first?
It's just that I haven't found a chance to interject yet.
Because someone rang a small bell in the banquet hall, a crisp sound rippled through the hall, and several more people walked in.
It was the host of this flower feast who arrived to his family.
"The first to go is Xiang Han, the current head of the Xiang family, the woman next to him is his wife, and he is followed by his second son Xiang Jian, who is now Sima of the Song Kingdom, and is the only official in the Xiang family now.
However, although it is Sima, it is just a false name, and now the military and political Xiang family of the Song State can no longer intervene, and they are all in charge of the Zhu State general Rui Jia and the Hua family. ”
Jiang Xi waited for his family to walk up to the main seat, whispered to Jiang Ruoyang, and motioned for everyone to get up,
"Behind them are several grandchildren of the Xiang family, and Xiang's family, Sun Xiangchong, has been involved in a lot of business of the Xiang family, and I have heard of it a few times, and it is said that the means are good. I don't know about the others. After speaking, he stopped explaining, and took the Jiang family to salute Xiang Han like everyone else.
Xiang Jia stood on the main seat and greeted everyone:
"Everyone, please take a seat, today's banquet was originally to gather everyone to have a good time, I wonder if everyone is having a good time in Xiangfu?"
Xiang Han hugged his fists and beckoned, and said loudly.
Of course, everyone said it was fun.
After the main guests set up a set, the hall was full of people and sat down again.
The bell rang again, and the servants of the Xiang Mansion rushed in. Some people are holding the hu, and some people are holding the plate.
These servants were included in a very orderly column, and then walked to each table with their things, and when they reached the place, they knelt on their knees, hugged Hu's front, and motioned for the guests to stretch out their hands.
The water with some yellow-white petals flowed out of the dendrobium, with a little light incense, and poured it gently on his hands, and the servant on the other side held a plate to carry the water left on his hands, and after cleaning his hands, he used a soft and white rob to help people wipe their hands clean.
After the guests had cleaned their hands and dried them, the servants cleaned up and walked away. When this wave of servants retreated, the bell rang. Another group of minions entered.
They still walked in order, and then put what they had in their hands on their seats.
Gui, fu, ball-like tun, goblet-like beans, three-legged winekeeping, food daggers, chopsticks, etc., were soon filled in front of the guests.
So many servants walked around the hall dressed like flowers, placing things, but no one made a sound!
The guests watched and exchanged their heads one after another, secretly praising Xiang Jia for not being a nobleman in the prosperous Song Kingdom, the rules of the family are big, and even the servants are very well-behaved.
I give myself a thumbs up for the name of this chapter!
It's not that I'm lazy, I don't want to bother thinking about chapter names!
That's why this dinner is important! Right? Right! (Serious face!) )
