Chapter 68: The Family Feast
After a while, I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man Lang Jun dressed in water-colored clothes and holding a gold-rimmed white fan in his hand, smiling and groaning, and beside this young man Langjun was a little scholar with a gift box in both hands.
Li Jincai, Li Jinjun, and Gao Yuxiang couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw this handsome young man, and their eyes showed appreciation. Over there, Xue Ningxiang, Xue Haiyue, and Xue Zirong all fixed their eyes on this young man. Although there are many handsome young men in Netzhou, compared to this one, they are simply one on the ground and one in the sky.
After the young man Lang Jun entered the door, he raised his eyes to scan the people in the hall, and finally landed his eyes on Xue Yun, who was sitting beside Liu Mei. Immediately, the young man Lang Jun took a few steps forward with a smile, bowed to Li Dakang with a solemn face, and said, "Ao Balang of Donghaizhou has seen General Ning Yuan. ”
When Li Dakang heard this, he was slightly stunned and asked, "Lang Jun is from Donghaizhou, why have I never heard of it?"
This young man who calls himself "Ao Hachiro" is the one who is in charge. When he heard this, he chuckled and said, "General, although the name of Donghaizhou is loud, it is just a small fishing village on the edge of the East China Sea after all, and it is reasonable that the general does not know. ”
Li Dakang continued to ask: "Donghaizhou is thousands of miles away from this Shudi Haizhou, how did you come here?
The negative voice replied: "The father is strict, and every child in the family is required to go out and travel. For us, traveling is not only a good time to learn, but also a good time to make close friends, and only when we return from school can we help our father take care of the industry! ”
When Li Dakang heard this, he said tightly: "Family business, what did your ancestors do?"
He smiled and said, "My ancestors specialize in aquatic products. My father had eight sons, and I was the last. ”
Qingli was listening to the negative nonsense, and could only hold back a smile.
Li Dakang listened to it and said with a smile: "No wonder Hachiro looks like a rich and noble person, listening to you like this, the family industry is not small!"
"Thanks to the general's love, there is no problem in raising a large family with that little property in the family. He smiled lightly, raised his eyes to look at Qingli, and motioned for Qingli to hand over the gift box to the steward Li Fu, and said: "Balang came with a little gift, and wanted to ask the general for a favor, and wanted to get to know the little lady of Changbing." ”
After listening to this, Li Dakang pointed to Xue Zhao who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "That is Changbing's father, if you are interested in Changbing, you should consult him." ”
When Xue Zhao heard this, he hurriedly got up and said, "It's all up to my father-in-law." ”
Xue Ningxiang sat between Du Lingyun and Xue Zhao, and saw that his father was respectful to Li Dakang, and he had long been dissatisfied, and now he saw that he wanted to get acquainted with Xue Yun by name, and his heart was even more resentful, and his face was so gloomy that he could wring out the rain.
Seeing Xue Ningxiang staring at Xue Yun hatefully, Du Lingyun hurriedly slapped her and reminded, "Show me a smile." ”
Xue Ningxiang said angrily: "She has taken up all the good things, and she is not happy when she looks at it, and she makes me force a smile." ”
Du Lingyun said slightly angrily: "The more unhappy you are, the more you have to smile at me, do you hear?"
Xue Ningxiang pursed her mouth, and finally forced out a smile on her face.
After hearing this, Li Dakang motioned for Xue Zhao to sit down, raised his eyes to look at the negative man, and said: "Today is the family banquet of my Li Mansion, if Balang doesn't dislike it, why don't you let me do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord?"
Naturally, he wished he could get in touch with Xue Yun at close range, how could he miss such an opportunity, and hurriedly responded: "Since the general has arranged it like this, then Hachiro is better than obeying his fate respectfully." ”
Li Dakang saw that the negative was humble and polite, and he was upright and bright, and he immediately had a good impression and immediately ordered the domestic slave to re-set a table of wine and food for the negative owner.
Xue Yun saw that he had been invited by Li Dakang to sit at the table, so he looked at Li Jinsheng uneasily.
Li Jinsheng found that Xue Yun's cheeks were flushed, and he knew that she must be worried about being entangled again, so she seemed so nervous. Li Jinsheng took a look at the negative man with a face full of spring breeze, and waved his hand gently at Xue Yun: With him, she doesn't have to panic!
Although Xue Yun understood Li Jinsheng's comfort, the food tasted like chewing wax.
Xue Ningxiang, Xue Haiyue, Xue Zirong, Li Jinjun, and Gao Yuxiang frequently looked at the negative man, and they all had a good impression of this Ao Balang. Dai Tingyun and Dai Tinghai saw that their negative appearance and net worth were above them, and they couldn't help but show some depression and happiness on the side.
After the negative man sat down, Li Dakang once again signaled everyone to eat casually. Everyone couldn't brush the faces of the two old adults, so they began to push the cups and drink freely. After the younger generations of the Li family finished toasting Li Dakang and Liu Mei's wine, they toasted Xue Zhao, Du Lingyun and others one by one, and then the Xue family sisters. The younger generations of the Xue family were naturally not to be outdone, and took turns to pay tribute to the elders and sisters of the Li family.
Li Dakang was inconvenient to drink too much due to leg disease, and Liu Mei was old, so he drank two glasses and replaced it with freshly brewed juice. After about half an hour, the second elder saw that it was getting late, so he went back to the house to rest.
Although Xue Zhao walked outside all the year round and drank a lot of alcohol, he couldn't withstand the repeated salutes of so many juniors, and finally he was dizzy from drinking, and was helped back to the room by the house slave to rest. Du Lingyun, Fu Tinglin, and Huang Weishan originally drank less alcohol on weekdays, and after a few glasses of stomach, they were so dizzy that they couldn't walk steadily. Dai Xi hurriedly ordered the house slaves to help them rest one by one. In the end, there were several juniors of the Li family, the Xue family and the negative ones present.
Dai Xi saw that the hall was full of juniors, and Li Jinsheng was also there, so he covered his temples and said to Li Fu, who was standing on the side: "I'll leave it to you here, and I'm waiting for you." ”
Li Fu hurriedly said: "Okay, big lady, slave understands." ”
After Dai Xi greeted everyone present, he was helped back to the guerrilla general's mansion by his personal maid.
There were no elders in the hall, and the sisters were even more presumptuous, shouting at each other and drinking wine, all of which threw the dignified Yazheng on weekdays out of the nine days.
However, there is still a special case among the younger generations, and that is Li Jincai. Although Li Jincai also drank a lot of wine with the sisters, she was still able to maintain basic reserve and quiet, sitting alone and smiling and watching the sisters have fun.
As for Xue Yun, after drinking, he has lost a little of his usual reserve. At this time, she was drunk, her face was flushed, and she and Gao Yuxiang were hugging each other and feeding each other.
Xue Haiyue and Xue Zirong surrounded the negative man, talking and laughing while drinking. The negative man fanned the gold-rimmed white fan, and his eyes would be cast on Xue Yun over there from time to time.
Xue Ningxiang was unhappy with Xue Yun and disdained to talk to the Li family sisters, so she sat alone and swallowed sunflower seeds.
Although Xue Hualin was young, he was different from his sister Xue Ningxiang, he saw Gao Yugui chatting happily with Dai Tingyun, Dai Tinghai and others, so he took the initiative to hold a wine glass and leaned over, and soon laughed with the three of them, chatting very happily.
Li Fu stood at the door, looking at the Li family and the Xue family, a group of children playing non-stop, remembering many of his deeds back then, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile.
