Chapter 18 The Murderous Opportunity Between the Plots
He Mansion is lit up inside and out, there are hundreds of tables in the courtyard, many people here are gauze hats and official uniforms, and the distinctive mending gowns are according to their grades, and there are white pheasants, herons, yellow orioles, quails, and Wu is Xiong Biao and rhinoceros, which is in response to the sentence "Clothing **".
The music under the steps, the pipa and the zheng, the flute, the suona horn, and a set of "Drunk Taiping" were played.
The banquet of "turtle and crane longevity" is extremely rich, a plate of "longevity soup" is placed in the middle of each table, simmering with a small fire at the bottom, and a few fresh fruits and vegetables such as pears and dates are placed on the side, and the maids shuttle back and forth like butterflies to pour wine for the guests, and the small servants hold the price of the delicacies.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the family who specializes in guarding the drip ran to the ear of the old man He to report, He Yuantu The old lady He nodded, turned his head and confessed to the master of Mingxin, and the master of the heart gestured and whispered that he understood. Old lady He stood up, arched his hand to the masterpiece of the Quartet who came to congratulate his birthday and said: "Good friends on the rivers and lakes, thank you for coming thousands of miles to why this loess buried half of the old man has a birthday, He is really grateful, everyone must eat and drink well today, if there is a place where hospitality is not good, please bear with me." He did it first as a respect, everyone is free. Old Man He took the wine glass and drank it, and everyone applauded.
For a while, everyone echoed it, and the wine cups in the courtyard were shaken by the sound, and the old man He also got the extreme in his heart, and after years of hard work and accumulation, he is getting old today and is about to celebrate his birthday, but he didn't expect so many people to come to give face. To this day, even if it is worth it even if it dies immediately, Old Man He thought with emotion in his heart.
A few thousands of households and hundreds of households who inherited the seat pleaded with He Yuantu, an old-timer, to talk about the heroic deeds of rebuilding mountains and rivers and driving out the Tatars with his own fathers.
"Commander Li, Wang Fuzun, and Mingxin are too loving, and the old man is full of kindness, and he can't repay it," Old Man He raised his glass and said with a smile: "It's good to drink with a few people to thank you for your hospitality." ”
After everyone gave a congratulatory message to Mr. He, under the invitation of Mr. He's smile, they sat down and began to eat. In the banquet, there are either border generals or people in the rivers and lakes, all of them are characters who lick blood at the tip of a knife, and after a few words, they are all together, one by one, shouting five and drinking six, the wine order is the wine order, and the wine is fighting, but it is not lively.
Old man He, the table next to them are all young people, either the famous martial arts young man in Yuncheng or the officer of the local guard station, and the guest is He Zhihao, the grandson of Old Man He, several of them are good brothers who grew up together, and they don't see anything outside, they should eat, drink, talk and laugh, but they are so uncomfortable.
"Donglang, your family is now, ah. It is becoming more and more prosperous, and even the proud sons of heaven who are born from big factions such as Hengshan Sanding and who pretend to be high also came to celebrate Grandpa He's birthday. I heard that after your third brother was admitted to the Jinshi, he was read by Fang Buli and took a fancy to him? That's a hot character, you can be half of His Royal Highness the Prince's family, your family's future is assorted, don't forget a few brothers at that time. The person who spoke was Chang Wenkai, the son of a hundred households, who was hereditary of one hundred households in Jiezhouwei, and was also a well-known figure in the local area.
"Kai, what are you talking about? What kind of friendship do we have to talk about?" He Zhihao scolded with a smile, picked up the cup and said. "Come, come, come, punish wine!"
"I lost my words. I lost my words. Hahaha, deserve to be punished, deserve to be punished. Chang Wenkai consciously lost his words, laughed again and again, picked up the cup, and drank it at once.
The rangers on the rivers and lakes sat at the end, although a few of them were quite famous, but unfortunately their backgrounds were too poor, and they were scattered in the end and did not enter the real stream. The rules on the rivers and lakes have always been like this, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
The only thing that makes people feel strange is that these rangers have bulging arms in their arms, their legs are shaking slightly, and they only drink alcohol, but they don't eat meat. At this time, the third master of the He family came over with a wine glass to toast, "You have come from thousands of miles to celebrate your father's birthday, thank you here, thank you! Do it first for respect!"
The men smiled stiffly and drank a glass of wine. Then he poured another cup and said vaguely: "Third Brother He is a figure with a head and a face, but he doesn't look down on us reckless people, just by virtue of this, when you are a younger brother, you should have a cup, come, drink." The person who spoke was extremely nasal, and it sounded like a local person from Shandong.
The third elder of the He family said with a smile: "This friend is too modest, several friends are strong in martial arts, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, just with this ability, it is not much stronger for those of us who can't even go alone, and a few of them are chivalrous people, friends like you, no matter how much it is, it's not too much, hahaha, if you want to say respect, you have to give a few more glasses." Saying that, the third child of the He family was about to clink glasses with him, but he didn't see that at the moment when the other party finished drinking, the big rough hands shook slightly, and there was something more in the wine that was enough to poison the whole elephant. If he saw this scene, I don't know if he would still be able to laugh? I wonder if he would dare to clink glasses with this charlatan?
Glasses collide in the air, wine splashes, you have my wine drops in your glass, my glass is mixed with your wine drops......
The third child of the He family didn't look at the cup in his hand, took a sip of wine, and as soon as he confessed, he was about to go to the next table to toast. But he didn't take two steps, he felt a little dizzy, He Laosan thought that he had drunk a little too much, and he didn't care. Shaking his head, he felt a little sober, and moved to the next table. But when he walked to that table, He Laosan seemed to feel that the table in front of him had become two or three tables, "Did you drink too much?"
Suddenly, he heard a burst of exclamations from several people in front of him, He Laosan felt that his face was a little damp and hot, and wiped it with his hand, only to see the blood red of one hand.
"What's wrong with me...", this thought flashed through He Laosan's mind, and then... There is no then
"Ahh The guests who came, whether they were officers of the guard office or high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, were all begging for a living, and who had not seen a few dead people? There were not a few who sent them away by themselves. It's not surprising that they've seen a lot, although the dead man lying in front of them now is the third master of He Jiabao...
