13. Wine banquet

Coming out of the living room where he was concerned, Li Zhongming let out a fierce breath. It's really depressing to talk to a big official like Gu Jing. Although he did not deliberately use the momentum in the officialdom to target Li Zhongming, he has been in a high position for a long time, and his momentum has been completely immersed in the bone marrow. Even his casual words and deeds reveal the power of his meat eater.

Back in his courtyard, he entered the room and found that the book and the bow had been placed in the room in advance. It seems that Gu Fu's reward for himself has already been calculated in his heart.

No longer thinking about these things, Li Zhongming picked up the book and flipped through it. Not only is the book made of fine paper, it is not only smooth to the touch, but also very thick, and the ink is also so good that you can even feel a medicinal smell when it smells.

I pulled the bow again, and carefully identified it, it was completely the horns and tendons used, and the paint was evenly applied and firm, and the bow body was even more gorgeous and beautiful, so the bow can be said to be a good product in the bow.

Putting down the treasures in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh that there were so many treasures in Gu's mansion, which was worthy of being a big family, not comparable to a poor family like himself. He took out the money from his savings and walked towards a kitchen in the Gu Mansion. Lifting the door curtain, I just saw that the kitchen steward was busy in command, came to the steward and bowed, and said, "Third Brother Lu is good, the younger brother is polite." It seems like a busy day. “

"Oh, how did Brother Zhongming come here now? Is there something to trouble me? Steward Lu asked with a smile.

"Oh, it's a little bit, and I have to help my brother. I wonder if I can spare some time tonight to prepare a table for my little brother? Prepare more meat, and a jar of good wine. I don't know if my brother is free at dinner time, and he will get together with us. As he spoke, he took out six hundred coins from his sleeve and handed it to Lu San.

"I wonder who the brothers are feasting on? I may have a party here, if you don't blame me for being rude, I will definitely go to the meeting", said apologetically while taking the money.

"Oh, they are all personnel in the house, there is Third Brother Gu, Zhang Jiaoxi. When the time comes, please arrange for someone to bring the banquet to my room. Li Zhongming took out another thirty yuan from his sleeve, "This is hard money for everyone." ”

"Okay, I'll do it for you." Lu San hurriedly agreed.

After Li Zhongming thanked him, he went out of the kitchen. Lu San looked at the young man who went out, and his eyes were full of thought. Thinking about the major events that happened in the house during the day, how rare it is to be able to turn the tide and make great achievements at such a critical moment. Now that the matter is over, the sovereign will definitely reward the meritorious deeds. As a great hero afterwards, he will definitely be valued and appreciated by the lord, and the reward will be extremely rich.

Under such a happy event, ordinary people will definitely be full of spirit and high spirits. But now Li Zhongming is still humble, approachable and unself-contained, such a kind of qi cultivation kung fu appears in such a young person, not to mention the past and present, even the present is extremely rare.

It can be seen that such a character will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. Now, if you can make friends with one or two, you can contact your feelings in private, and make it convenient for him in your daily life. Then, if he can soar to the sky in the future, with the accumulated affection, not to mention that one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven, it will also be a million profits, and it will inevitably benefit a lot. Coming back to his senses and pressing all the thoughts churning in his heart, Lu San continued to arrange things in the kitchen, but he arranged the banquet that Li Zhongming wanted more carefully.

Li Zhongming first came to Zhang Jiaoxi's small courtyard, knocked on the door outside the door, and asked respectfully: "Master Zhang can meet in the room, boy Li Zhongming." ”

"Come in," a slightly more serious voice came from inside the room.

Li Zhongming pushed the door in, and saw Zhang Jiaoxi wiping the sword, and the bright silver light on the table all showed the sharpness of the blade, and if you looked closely, you could even feel the chill emitted. Li Zhongming saluted, but Zhang Jiaoxi did not stop the movements in his hand, but said casually: "Sit down, what is the matter with you kid looking for me?" Is it to show me off the reward that the house has given you? ”

"Master Zhang, you really laughed at me, I really have something to ask for you today. In the future, when you are free, can I ask you for advice on riding and swordsmanship? You can rest assured that it will never embarrass you. I have reported it to the Lord in advance, and the Lord has allowed it. Li Zhongming respectfully requested.

"Okay, anyway, I'm going to have lice on my body every day in the house. It's a rare opportunity to be able to go out and walk around a little more in the future. I also want to thank you, don't worry. I'll leave this little matter to me. Hearing Li Zhongming's words, Master Zhang was more excited than him, dropped the knife towel in his hand, quickly got up and came to him, patted him on the shoulder and said happily.

"It's good that Master Zhang doesn't bother me, in order to express my gratitude, I will hold a banquet in the courtyard tonight, and Master Zhang will definitely appreciate it." Seeing that Master Zhang didn't mind at all, but happily agreed, Li Zhongming hurriedly thanked him.

"Okay, okay, Zhongming is too polite. I've heard a little about the big events of the day. Now that you have made great contributions, you are already a celebrity in the house. In the future, I will need to take care of Zhongming. Here, I congratulate you in advance. And then I will go to the feast. ”

Seeing that even Master Zhang's attitude towards himself is more eager than usual. Lee Chu-ming lamented the unpredictability of the world and bowed to retire. When he got out of the house, he hurried to the courtyard below.

When he came to the courtyard, Third Brother Gu was fiddling with the rutted wheel, and when he saw Li Zhongming entering his courtyard, he hurriedly dropped the things in his hand, congratulated him happily, and at the same time laughed, "Brother Zhongming is not receiving the award from the lord at this time, how can you have time to come to me and chat with me?" ”

"The third brother laughed, how could it be idle chat with you? I'm here today to thank you. If you hadn't helped me deliver the letters, I would have learned the news from home. How can I feel at ease, and how can I study diligently to increase my art? Otherwise, at such a critical time as today, how can it be my turn to be in the limelight? So tonight, I prepared a little wine in the hospital, and invited the third brother to be able to gather in the hospital when he arrived, which also made me talk and express my gratitude. After speaking, Li Zhongming bowed down solemnly.

"Okay, okay Zhongming, don't be so serious. I have long found out that Zhongming is a genius in the world, a hero among people, and he must achieve a great cause. I'm just getting a good relationship in advance", Gu San hurriedly helped Li Zhongming up.

"Thank you for your good words, and thank you for your expectations. Ming will be angry and study hard, and will not deceive the third brother. Li Zhongming also replied.

After making an appointment with Gu San, Li Zhongming walked to his courtyard and began to return to the room to tidy up the dinner party.

It was slowly getting dark, and the servants in the kitchen gradually put the dishes of the banquet on the table one by one, Li Zhongming poured the wine and waited for the arrival of the three of them.

The first to arrive was Gu San, he didn't come empty-handed, he brought the famous food and roasted goose outside the house, and Li Zhongming invited him to sit inside. Saying that, Zhang Jiaoxi also carried a pot of wine into the courtyard gate, and the two hurriedly got up and invited him to sit inside.

After the three of them were polite, they took their separate seats. Li Zhongming invited him without being polite, they are all people in the house, although they may not be so familiar, but they are also fated to meet here today.

Please feel free to each other, don't care about the etiquette rules, and as he spoke, he raised his glass to the two and saluted: "On weekdays, Ming Jun has received a lot of help from the two. Today, I would like to thank you two of you with a glass of wine. ”

"Zhongming is polite, polite. It's just a gesture, no need to worry. ”

"Yes, it's not worth mentioning. Come, come and drink. ”

The three of them drank a glass of wine and gradually relaxed. The banquet arranged by Lu San today is still very much in line with the tastes of the three of them. The three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatting about the common things they usually learned.

You come and go, and the environment in the room is also lively. At this time, there was a voice from outside the door, "I'm late, Zhongming atonement, you atone for your sins." I'm here to apologize. As he spoke, Lu San carried a set of food boxes and pushed the door in.

Hearing that Lu San was coming, Li Zhongming stood up and introduced the two, "Two, this is Director Lu, presumably everyone knows each other." The banquet on our table today was prepared by Lu Sange's subordinates. However, he is busy in the kitchen, so he is late, so don't mind. ”

Next, the four of them reunited, put the food back on the table, and filled the wine again. After a few glasses of wine, several people gradually became familiar with each other from strangers. The atmosphere on the table has also reached a climax, here, there is no high and low, let alone etiquette rules, only a few heart-to-heart talks in the world. They drank wine in a cup and ate a plate of Chinese food, each expressing their own complaints and entanglements, and each talking about their own sad tears.

In the reflection of the candlelight, several people are drunk, drunk with the huge pressure in the house recently, drunk with the tranquility after the ups and downs in the house, and even more drunk with the unsatisfactory life of their respective lives.

But who would have thought that among these four drunkards, among these servants, there would be a quartz talent who would save the country in danger in the future. Many years later, several people talked about the past, lamenting the impermanence of the world and the unpredictable fate. Although they have amplified the imagination in their hearts, the reality is still more stunning than their imagination.
