Chapter 33 White Water Straw Mat, Zheng Ping Set Up a Banquet Liwei

Zhang Fei thought about it, Zheng Ping's words were not unreasonable.

If it weren't for publicity, even Zheng Ping wouldn't know that Liu Bei had gone to the field to inspect today, and it would be impossible to know that Liu Bei would visit the common people one by one, personally go to the field to weed and catch insects, and would not return to the city until dark.

The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and the fragrance of flowers has its own butterflies.

If Liu Bei is famous, talents and heroes will take the initiative to come here.

"I'll do it!"

But whenever it comes to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei will be very concerned.

After asking for details, Zhang Fei left in a hurry, and almost knocked Hu Zhao off the way.

"It's dangerous!"

"If this is a solid bump, I'll have to stay in bed for the rest of my life.

Hu Zhao had palpitations, but he didn't dare to scold Zhang Fei.

Xu Bujing came to Zheng Ping's guest house courtyard, Hu Zhao approached and asked, and then said: "The banquet hall has been set up, does Mr. want to check for mistakes first?" ”

Since Zheng Ping gave the book last night, Hu Zhao's respect for Zheng Ping has overshadowed his fear, and his title has been changed from county to sir.

Zheng Ping nodded and followed Hu Zhao to the banquet hall.

The size of the banquet was simple, with four tables per table, each with only four jars of white water and four porcelain bowls for drinking water.

Even the mats are made of coarse straw mats.

Simplicity at its best!

Zheng Pingjing came to the main seat, the same coarse straw mat, a jar of white water and a porcelain bowl.

Hu Zhao bowed slightly, and replied while observing Zheng Ping's expression: "But all honest officials are not drunk on pleasure. Mr. set an example to persuade the county to prohibit alcohol, only moisten his throat with white water, and entertain the rich and powerful businessmen in the four townships today, and he must not lose the meaning of honesty. ”

"That's a good job!" Zheng Ping did not hesitate to appreciate.

The wealthy businessmen of Sixiang are the head snakes of Gaotang County, but no matter how arrogant they are, they are only local white.

In Zheng Ping's eyes, only the powerful and wealthy businessmen who work for Liu Bei are friends.

If you want to be arrogant and arrogant in your family business, Zheng Ping has too many ways to teach this group of powerful and wealthy businessmen to be good citizens.

White water straw mat is both grace and might.

.....

City.

Children and teenagers, in groups of three or five, ran and danced in the city while singing:

"Qingzhou has a Gao Tang order, surnamed Liu Mingbei Xuande. If you are thirsty for talent, you love the people, and every household is well fed. ”

Less than half an hour.

The four gates of the county, southeast, northwest and northwest, are all singing this straightforward nursery rhyme.

The wealthy businessmen who drove in one by one couldn't help but be surprised.

When Liu Bei was the county lieutenant, although he had a certain reputation in Gaotang County, he would never be praised by the whole city like now!

"Such a straightforward nursery rhyme must have come from Brother Xianmou."

During the period when the wealthy businessmen of the four townships went to the county government, Hua Ji also rode out of the house.

As soon as he heard this nursery rhyme that suddenly began to be sung today, Hua Ji guessed the origin of the nursery rhyme.

Not much.

Hua Ji came to the county office.

But the table in the banquet hall surprised Hua Ji.

There are four seats at one table, and the rich and powerful businessmen who come sit around the table.

But there are no daily banquets such as wine on the table, only white water and porcelain bowls, which are extremely simple!

Hua Ji was a little skeptical that he had gone to the wrong place.

"Even the prince of Hua Ji is here, this new county is really big."

"It's not, Hua Ji Gongzi has always been arrogant, he only studies in the house to raise hope, and his friends are all celebrities and scholars, and he easily refuses to attend."

"The son of Beihai Kangcheng Gong, it's not difficult to understand that he has a bigger face, but today's banquet, I'm afraid there is no good banquet."

"What are you afraid of! I'm waiting for me to come, that's for Zheng Xuan's face! Zheng Ping will come later, I want to ask, is this famous family so ignorant of etiquette? ”

"Brother Ziliao is reasonable, just one county, if there is no help from us, he can only lie on his stomach in this Gaotang County!"

“.....”

The voices in the banquet hall whispered, with suspicion and resentment.

When Hu Zhao saw Hua Ji coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Gongzi, please take a seat!" ”

On the right side of Zheng Ping's main seat, Hu Zhao set up a single seat, which was specially prepared for Hua Ji.

"The specifications of this banquet are the meaning of Brother Xianmou?" Hua Ji looked at Hu Zhao's eyes, and in his whispered words, there were suspicions and warnings.

If Hu Zhao intended to make Zheng Ping ugly, then Zheng Ping would be embarrassed today.

Hu Zhao shook his head lightly: "Don't be suspicious, how can you disrespect Mr. in the future?" Let's wait for Mr. to arrive! ”

Mr?

Hua Ji was even more surprised.

When Hu Zhao mentioned the word "sir", Hua Ji obviously heard the admiration in Hu Zhao's tone.

Hua Ji endured the doubts in his heart and sat upright.

Not much.

Footsteps rang out outside the banquet hall.

Zheng Ping was in front, Zhang Fei was on the right, and the ten scouts of the Zheng family followed in two columns.

The small square steps of the grand show Zheng Ping's momentum of not being angry and self-imposing.

Just by entering the table, it has already made the rich and powerful businessmen in the banquet hall can't help but breed a sense of jealousy.

"Hu Zhao, can anyone arrive?"

"Three people are missing!"

Hu Zhao's tone was a little unkind, the three who were late were quite close to the city, even if they got up late, they still had enough time to go to the banquet.

"Then wait a little longer!"

Zheng Ping picked up the white water jar alone and poured a bowl of white water to moisten his throat and quench his thirst.

However, half an hour has passed.

In the past half an hour, Zheng Ping's eyes were not the slightest impatient, as if waiting was a normal thing.

But Zheng Ping could bear it, and the rest of the rich businessmen present couldn't help it!

Immediately, a strong man stood up and said, "County Cheng, I know the three people who are absent." They are Liu Hu, Li Tong and Deng A from Fangshan Township, and they are hunting today, but they will not come. ”

Zheng Ping looked up, but saw that this person was about forty years old, and although his body was thin, his eyes were bright.

"Don't worry!"

"You may be seated!"

With four simple words, I persuaded Haoqiang to go back.

Everyone immediately understood Zheng Ping's intentions, since someone was absent, then everyone should wait together.

It's still early anyway!

But where could everyone bear it, and immediately another Haoqiang got up under the pretext: "County Cheng, in a hurry, please allow me to go to the toilet." ”

Zheng Ping smiled elegantly: "People have three urgency, don't ask for instructions." Just walk quietly and don't disturb others. ”

And so.

One after another, people got up and left their seats, and came to the banquet hall under the pretext of an excuse.

"Liu Hu, these three bastards, want to give Zheng Xiancheng a dismount, but they are bitter and waiting!"

"Why don't we leave with an excuse?"

"You stupid, don't get involved with me!"

"So what are we going to do? Have you been waiting? ”

"Don't worry! Liu Hu and the three lied about hunting, they must also be testing Zheng Xiancheng's bottom line, and they will still come. ”

"Humph! They tempted Zheng Xiancheng, and let me suffer in vain? ”

"I'll send someone to find it!"

“.....”

Regarding everyone's reaction, Zheng Ping never made any extra statements, still warm as the wind, and sat quietly indifferently.

This is another half an hour.

Liu Hu, Li Tong and Deng Ashan were late.

"The carriage on the road is stuck in a mud puddle, so it's too late!"

"We punished ourselves with three bowls and apologized to the county and you!"
