Chapter 5 Famous Instruments
The guests at the same table also saw the guests and hosts greeting at the door of the main hall, and praised them: "In the end, it is a high-ranking family, and the bearing of the eldest lady of your family is not inferior to that of a man!" β
Dahua has always been patriarchal; However, due to the fact that martial arts can be practiced by both men and women, although the status of women is still inferior, it is not taboo to show their heads.
Hong Fu heard the outsider praise the eldest lady, and glanced at his friend with a little worry, but saw him smile gently and nodded again and again.
In fact, Hong Fan didn't pay attention to what others were saying.
At this time, he was observing the words and deeds of the eldest lady, and on the other hand, he corroborated with his own vague memories and the information he asked from Aunt Liu yesterday.
[The main mother was born in the Chen family, the state capital, and she is especially decent, and she likes to be the master in everything. γ
[The New Year's Festival has to be done in a big way, and it can't be compared with other big families in the city. γ
[Pay special attention to reputation, always be stable in front of people, and take family rules as the norm. γ
[If you are a queen, everyone thinks she is a little cautious. γ
[Well, if you discuss right and wrong behind your back, the Bodhisattva will blame you......]
[As for the eldest master, he has lived in a simple place for several years, and even if there is a big event, he only shows his face. γ
The thought flashed in his mind, and Hong Fan had made a final decision.
In the world, martial arts is the foundation of foothold and the step of progress.
And Hong Fanruo is at this age when he is growing up, with only two bowls of green leafy vegetables a day, not to mention that he is strong in martial arts, and his growth and development are not enough.
Therefore, at today's banquet, he planned to find an opportunity to solve his food problem.
Counting carefully, Hong Fan didn't seem to have any chips in his hand.
Martial arts is at the bottom level of clan studies, not to mention that the internal injuries are not complete yet.
The pockets were empty, and she even asked Aunt Liu to exchange her beloved things for meat.
In the past, the extreme yin owl personality led to no connections inside and outside the clan.
Even if you have a lot of knowledge, you don't know how to monetize it.
Up and down the body, it seems that only the handsome and incomparably handsome appearance is enough to praise.
But Hong Fan knew that he actually had a lot to rely on.
That's identity.
He is the son and son of the head of the Hong family.
After the death of his biological mother, the eldest lady was his titular mother.
Of course, these identities are in name only.
But even famous instruments, when the right time, can play a huge role.
After a short time, the opportunity that Hong Fan was waiting for came.
A servant hurried in to report the news, and the smile on the face of the butler at the door was flattering.
This must be the most distinguished guest among the distinguished guests, and the Grand Lady Guy took the initiative to welcome the first entrance gate as never before.
"Yo, it's the head of the Li family and the eldest son who have arrived."
In the flowing water seat, many people recognized the comer.
Jin Haicheng removed Sha Xingjun and Hong Jian, and the last congenital powerhouse was Li Heming, the head of the Li family who was dressed in plain white robes and slowly walked into the courtyard at this time.
Hong Fan "remembers" some rumors about this person.
It is said that he was extremely talented when he was young, and he was a genius who made the list.
"Distinguished guests are coming, and they are shining!"
At this time, the eldest lady led Hong Sheng to walk quickly from the round table where Hong Fan was sitting, and the smile on her face could be described as warm.
When the big guys began to greet each other, even the voices on the flowing water seats around them were much softer.
Hong Fan also began to exert force.
He took a piece of pork belly and chewed it in his mouth, reminiscing about his family and privileged life before the crossing, and loosening all emotional control.
Sadness suddenly turned into a river.
Running down his fair cheeks, tears fell down in large drops and landed on the waxed table.
Some of the advantages of being overly handsome β the natural focus of a crowd β are immediately apparent.
The people around immediately noticed the "untimely" tears at the white banquet.
"Brother Hong Fan, why did you suddenly cry?"
One of the tablemates asked.
When the table was full, they introduced themselves to each other and exchanged names.
"It's okay......"
Hong Fan waved his hand and carefully swallowed the pork belly in his mouth.
"It's just that I haven't eaten meat for too long, so I'm crying."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding tables were shocked.
Although most of them didn't know Hong Fan, when they saw his outstanding appearance and steady bearing, they thought that they were at least the handsome children of the clan.
I didn't expect my daily life to be so miserable.
"This, how could it be? Isn't the elder brother of the Hong family? β
The other person at the table was also concerned.
But he didn't notice that the eldest lady who heard this not far behind him suddenly tightened her face.
Soon, more whispers rang out around them.
"My brother is a concubine, and I have heard that he is treated harshly on weekdays......"
"He seemed to have been seriously injured from over-practicing martial arts before, I thought it was because of my qualifications, but I didn't expect there to be such a serious reason......"
The Grand Lady finally couldn't hold it anymoreβshe had noticed that the glances from all directions were beginning to grow strange.
"Brother Fan, what's wrong?"
She had to take a few steps forward and ask questions pretending to be concerned.
Hung Chan is in his forties and is well maintained.
At this time, he was wearing a lot of makeup, and his bearing was really extraordinary.
In addition, there are many onlookers in the court, and if it is replaced by the one who has died suddenly, I am afraid that it will not even be able to speak.
But now Hong Fan is a human being, and he has done a lot of big reports in the face of hundreds of people before, so he naturally will not have stage fright.
"Mrs. Hui, it's just a momentary gaffe, nothing else."
Hong Fan wiped away his tears generously, got up from his seat, and first respectfully saluted the eldest lady before replying.
According to etiquette, he should call the other person Mother.
But when he heard the three-word "big lady", Hong Chen's face softened a lot.
Hong Fan's words about not being able to eat meat have just been heard by many people.
With so many eyes and ears paying attention, if Hong Fan blurted out a "mother", then Hong Chen definitely had a bad reputation for being jealous and harsh.
"You don't have to hide it, I just heard, you said you can't eat meat on weekdays?"
The eldest lady said.
"The Hong family's family rules say, when you enter a student, you can have four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, how can you have no meat?"
When it comes to this, she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to act like nothing had happened.
"You don't have to be restrained, if you have grievances, just say it, someone will make the decision for you."
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Li Heming and his son.
"Gong He, the family matter is delayed, why don't you let Brother Sheng lead the two of you in first?"
She apologized.
"My lord should also be seated."
"No, I'll be fine."
Li Heming refused, and seemed to be interested in what was in front of him.
Now that the atmosphere has arrived, Hong Fan no longer pretends.
"The family rules are good, but there are evil servants who are greedy and deduct every day, so that Fan doesn't know the taste of meat all year round."
He arched his hand again and said aloud.
Hearing this, there was another commotion in the room; The face of the butler on the side was even darker, and he was about to drip water.
"Who is the evil servant of your mouth?"
The eldest lady asked, her voice as awe-inspiring as a sword.
"Mrs. Hui is the Jiang family who is in charge of passing the meal."
Hong Fan replied.
As soon as these words came out, many people, including Li Heming, had playful expressions.
Young Master Changfang, being bullied by an evil servant who passed on food, so that he didn't know the taste of meat, this is really a ridiculous thing.
But what's even more ridiculous is that at this time, one avenges the grievance and the other is in charge, but they all say it clearly, as if this is the case.
