Chapter 383: Dinner
This time to welcome the empress, it is much grander than last time.
After all, this time it only took more than a month to repel the attack of Great Xia, and all the residents of Lancheng were full of pride and pride in their hearts, this is our Majesty.
Therefore, when it was known that the empress had returned to the city, she wanted to see His Majesty in person today.
From the city gate to Beihong District, there were crowds of people on both sides, and although there was a light rain in the sky, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the civilians of Lancheng.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty's martial arts are prosperous!"
All sorts of cries came from the crowd on both sides.
The empress's luan driver also opened the curtain in front of her, so that people could see the empress in red lying on her side.
Just like Ren Baqian did when he first saw the empress, he was lying on his side on the thick fur in it, without a smile, his eyes were gently closed, and the two of them were behind him.
Although it is not a very majestic sitting, such an image is also in line with the public's impression of the empress.
Ren Baqian followed behind with a low-eyed low eyebrow riding a horned ox, and it was inevitable that he would be pointed at.
Thanks to the existence of the radio, the daily situation in the north could be transmitted to Arashijo, and then through the mouths of the ministers, to the mansions, and then to the ears of many common people.
Every day before and after tea, in the streets and alleys, the whole Arashiki discussed the war in the north.
Many things from the war have also been reported.
Therefore, although Ren Baqian is still a little white face, many people have heard that this little white face has also done a lot of things in this war with Great Xia. This made many people look at him with a change in their eyes.
At least not a flower in the mosaic.
It's almost progressed to the kind of flower stuck in cow dung.
This progress is encouraging.
Ren Baqian turned his head to look to the side, and accidentally saw several heads squeezed in front of a window that was pushed open next to him.
All of them were his students.
Ren Baqian smiled at them, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"The ghost has seen us!" the students subconsciously shrank their heads back.
"Du Lao Liu, have you finished your homework?"
"What are you afraid of, Your Majesty will definitely have to set up a banquet in the palace when he comes back from such a big victory, and there are other things to deal with, and the ghost will definitely not start school so soon, so he has time to do it. Du Lao Liu patted his chest and said awe-inspiringly, and turned to look at the others:
"What about you?
"Haven't done it yet...... "Several students are like Du Lao Liu, these days there is a war in the north, they are talking about the war in the tavern every day, exchanging the news they have heard from their parents, how can they bother to write homework.
Du Laoliu's eyes drifted over one person, and he was somewhat disappointed in his heart.
Don't look at what he said cheerfully, but even if school starts a few days later, he can't finish his homework at home every day.
When the time comes, I am afraid that I will inevitably be shot again.
Of these students, he was the one who was shot the most.
Although the wound will heal after applying black mud cream, there is still a new and tender skin on the skin that is different from before.
He doesn't dare to go shirtless now.
When he took off his clothes, there were finger-thick white spots on both arms and shoulders, and those who didn't know thought he had a skin disease.
"I did most of it. Finally, someone said.
All eyes were on the man.
"Brother, it's up to you whether your brothers live or die this time. Du Lao Liuyi hooked his neck and said.
"A bunch of trash!" said a little Lori as she walked down the stairs with a look of disdain.
"You're done?" everyone's eyes lit up.
"Hmph!" little Lori proudly tilted her head downstairs, ignoring the envious gaze of everyone.
When she got out of the restaurant, her head drooped down and went straight to the copper mansion. After I went back, I had a meal of chickens and dogs, and then I began to grit my teeth and write my homework.
......
Ren Baqian returned to Pingle Garden, and at a glance he saw two black and white round guys, one of them lying on the ground, and one of them stepping on it and climbing up the tree.
Almost a year has passed, and the two little ones have grown up a lot.
Ren Baqian walked over, and the two little ones looked at him.
Then Ren Baqian dragged the panda below out, and the one above couldn't stand and immediately grunted down.
Ren Baqian laughed, hugged the fluffy panda and rubbed it with his face, a familiar smell.
The other rolled on the ground, ran over and opened his mouth to push him, but he fell on his heel with a slight flick, and immediately screamed aggrievedly.
Ren Baqian rubbed the two pandas, returned to the house and looked around, but there was no dust, and it seemed that someone had been cleaning after he left.
Then he planted himself on the bed, and finally went home, and was finally able to sleep in the bed.
It's a terrible world to travel long distances.
When Ren Baqian was woken up, it was almost dark, and he stretched his waist and felt a lot more comfortable.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has asked you to attend a dinner party in a moment. Shi Huyu reported.
"All of you are going?"
"Yes. ”
Ren Baqian thought about it, and it seemed that he only had the forgiveness-colored dress before.
"Your Majesty asked the adults to rush out a dress, and it is estimated that it will be delivered soon. Shi Hu said again.
"Let people boil water, I'll take a shower first. ”
When he finished washing, the dress was also delivered.
With his current official position, the dress is purple with birds and beasts, which looks much better than the original forgiveness color.
The last time he participated in the banquet, Ren Baqian was sitting at the end, and if it wasn't for the empress's permission, he wouldn't be eligible to participate in his identity.
This time, the position was a little higher in the middle, and I sat with the wind throat and several secretaries of the Ministry of Industry.
Below him is the ordnance secretary of the wind throat, and the secretary of the field of animal husbandry Ge Yihong.
Above him are six books, the old and the young.
When Ren Baqian came in, he received a lot of attention, and a few people greeted him, all of whom were officials of the Ministry of Industry who had dealt with him.
As for the other departments, the military department was quite kind to him.
What role Ren Baqian took out these days played on the front line, others are not clear, but the people in the military department are clear. Moreover, the militia idea he put forward also made the people in the military department quite satisfied, so when he saw Ren Baqian, he released goodwill.
For example, smiling at him!
If they don't know, they think they're going to beat themselves.
"Lord Ren, this trip has been hard. As soon as Ren Baqian sat down, Wind Throat came in and sat next to him and smiled.
"Serve the people!" Ren Baqian was very polite.
Wind Throat: ......
What the hell is this?
"How's the blast furnace?" asked Ren Baqian instead.
"It's still under construction, and it's raining a lot these days, so it's a lot slower. Wind Throat said.
The rainy season here in Lancheng comes earlier, and these days are rainy and rainy, and even the speed of firing cement has slowed down a lot. Therefore, until Ren Baqian returned, the progress of the blast furnace was only half.
Now that the hydraulic hammer forging has been made, it is much easier, and the speed of building weapons is much faster.
But half of the blast furnace was built, and now the iron can't keep up.
Ren Baqian chatted with Feng Throat for a few words, and then six Shangshu came in one after another.
This was followed by the Great Elder and the Second Elder.
After everyone sat down, the empress walked into the hall.
"We welcome Your Majesty, congratulations on Your Majesty's triumphant return!" everyone stood up and bowed.
"Sit down. The empress said lightly, sat down at the top, and said: "I won't talk about state affairs today, just to celebrate, everyone drinks for yourself." Let's dance!"
As the empress spoke, six strong men and six women came in from outside the hall, the men were wearing leather shorts, and the women were bandeau and leather skirts.
With the sound of fast-paced drums, the twelve people began to dance a primitive dance in the main hall, many movements as if hunting, and the sound of "Drink!ha!" came out of their mouths, full of wildness.
Then Xun's voice also sounded, adding a touch of desolation behind the wildness, as if he was in an endless wilderness.
"It's a celebratory dance, and it used to be danced in the stockade if you hunted a lot or if you had defeated an enemy. Wind Throat whispered to the side, he knew that Ren Baqian didn't understand this.
Ren Baqian nodded, this primitive dance was quite interesting and full of vitality.
As the dance ended, several middle-aged women played instruments like pipa.
The atmosphere in the temple immediately became cheerful.
Starting from the elder, the ministers also began to toast to the empress.
The hall was cheerful and harmonious.
Until half an hour later......
With a loud shout: "Old Copper Horseman, what do you say? Do you want to taste the old man's sword?"
"Come on, come on, I'll teach you how to be a man today......" followed by Tong Zhenye's voice.
Then there was a bang, Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan directly lifted the table and jumped to the middle of the hall, Tong Zhenye a black tiger pulled out his heart, Qin Chuan a monkey stole a peach, Tong Zhenye another black tiger pulled out his heart, Qin Chuan teased his yin legs, my black tiger pulled out his heart three times, and Qin Chuan pulled out a sea fishing moon...... Black Tiger Heart-Digging Quadruple Strike...... Black Household Digging Heart Five Consecutive Strikes......
There are people next to him who are there in the loud voice.
"Lord Tong's blow took just the right time, just to interrupt Lord Qin's momentum, forcing him to defend, and Lord Qin fell into the disadvantage when he lost his move...... Lord Tong made another move at this time, forcing Lord Qin to retreat......" Wind Throat commented on the side, and his voice was not small.
Ren Baqian's face was embarrassed, and Tong Zhenye's Black Tiger Thirteen Consecutive Attacks, how can you see so much?
"Wind throat, nonsense!" someone at the opposite table immediately shouted.
Then even the plates and cups flew towards the wind throat.
Ren Baqianyi looked at the posture and hurriedly climbed to the side.
I heard a commotion behind me.
By the time he climbed behind a pillar, the wind throat was already fighting with a big man in the military department.
Then plates and bowls began to fly on both sides of the main hall......
Ren Baqianyi stretched out his hand and caught an elbow in the air, and looked at it, not knowing who had bitten two bites.
After thinking about it, he threw his elbow away again.
"Lord Ren, sit here. Not far away, Shi Qing beckoned to him.
Ren Baqian only took two steps before stopping.
I saw a huge figure flying towards Shi Qing, knocking Shi Qing and the table to the ground.
Tong Zhenye got up from the ground, picked up Shi Qing and put it on the ground, his eyes turned around, and then he lit up, picked up Shi Qing's knocked over case and threw it towards Qin Chuan.
Seeing this, Ren Baqian felt that he was still staying here.
Turning his head to look at the empress, he saw that the empress sat on the top as if she didn't see it, pouring herself a drink.
The chaos below is like this, and the empress is still so calm.
Ren Baqian admired it.
