Chapter 247: Birthday
After a night, the kiln * did not go shopping, the brothers did not worship and fell asleep in the yard, the post guards carried a few people back to the house with palpitations, and then wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and went back to sleep, this night can toss them badly, scared one by one to look at these people, if they really go to the kiln * it is not easy, but the most hateful thing is that a few people said to go shopping, but with the wind lantern just in the yard, and together said that this ** is not yet, A few post guards heard it ridiculous, but what made them most worried was that the reckless strong man claimed to be resentful in Lichun, and wanted to burn this kiln * to relieve his anger, if it weren't for a few post guards with fast hands and feet, this huge Zhuoxian post station would be unlucky.
On the second day, Liu Lan was called up by Zhang Ping, Liu Lan dozed off and asked what time it was, Zhang Ping said that the sun was about to go down, and asked him if he could still remember what happened last night, he shook his head and said that he couldn't remember, Zhang Ping smiled bitterly, and then asked if he could remember if he could remember if he gave Liu Yuan a birthday today, Liu Lan immediately sat up, patted his forehead and blamed himself, and finished speaking, it's over, it's wrong.
Zhang Ping wondered what was wrong, this is not right, if I don't come to call you, you will continue to fall asleep like this, Liu Lan only then reacted that no one had lunch in the Han Dynasty, and the birthday banquet and wedding were all at night, so he got up and washed up and went to Liu's mansion by the afterglow of the sunset, of course, he didn't expect to take the tiger skin before leaving.
Liu Yuanqi's birthday has been prepared since the end of the year, of course, Liu Yuanqi will not celebrate his birthday in previous years, it is too extravagant, but this year is different, the 60th birthday is naturally more lively, so it is not like in previous years when the family had a light meal, but invited all the well-known people in the county.
Although there are a large number of people, the mansion of Liufu is also large, after all, it was the mansion of King Qing of Guangyang back then, even if it is now down, the layout inside is still extraordinarily magnificent, let's just say that all kinds of strange flowers and plants, pavilions and attics are by no means comparable to the Taishou Mansion, even if it is the palace, it is not far behind.
In front of the house, the lights began to be lit up early this morning, a happy and peaceful scene of family joy, and in the house, the branches of the trees have been covered with a variety of colorful silk satin, the Liu Mansion is decorated with flowers, thousands of blessings.
The number of people at this banquet is enough to have three or four hundred people, the officials of Zhuo County, the scholars and all the people who can come, the sun has not yet set, one after another began to have birthday greetings to come to pay respects, the huge square street is full of all kinds of carriages, even ox carts, for a time the square area was completely blocked, the front frame is squeezed in, the back frame is crowded, but this situation did not stump Liu Lan, he is the last to arrive, but it is faster than those officials who came earlier to enter the mansion, the reason, Because he was on foot, of course.
Just when he arrived at the mansion, the county magistrate of Zhuo County, the acting county magistrate, personally led the officials to clear the traffic, otherwise today's birthday would have to wait for Qi people, I am afraid it will drag on for three or five days.
Liu Lan walked through such a crowd of people on foot, there were naturally envious and disgusted people, sneering at this kid who didn't know the height of the sky, and didn't look at what kind of place this was, such a shabby kid dared to come? I scolded and scolded in my heart, but many of them put down their identities and got out of the car on foot, and when they arrived at the square in front of the house, there was no longer any crowding, which can be described as a different scene, and they saw dozens of family members such as Liu An in front of the long case kneeling table were registering the names and surnames of the people who came and the list of gifts, Liu Lan put down the tiger skin in front of Liu An and chatted with him for a few words, and then entered the house.
It is not all the gentlemen, among them there are many female dependents, either heavy makeup and glamorous ladies or twenty-eight beautiful girls, some wear undergarments, some lively and cheerful girls wear fairy skirts, and some graceful and generous girls are wearing silk products, which look graceful and luxurious, and they are the most beautiful age of women, one by one, the skin is like condensation, the starry eyes are like waves, the shyness in the eyes, it really seems to be dazzling from a distance, like a fairyland.
Men's eyes will automatically block the same sex, and Liu Lan is naturally no exception, but Liu Lan doesn't know that the same sex shields him from the same sex and even the opposite sex blocks him from him.
Cause?
It's very simple, because here, whether it is the people who come to congratulate or the people in the house, they have changed into silk and satin, and Liu Lan only has such a linen robe, the only thing that can be on the table is afraid that the shoes made of silk under his feet are the shoes, but this is very cold when compared with people, and this feeling is not too strong at first, but the more he finds that many people are like hiding from the plague, he understands what is going on, but he does not feel ashamed, these clothes are all earned by him by military exploits, and he wears them justifiably, And at the beginning, he could buy a new and bright clothes, but he didn't do that, helping the old brother is the key, as for the dress, you really don't have to pay much attention to dress, even if you really have this money, it is better to buy some wine and meat to eat.
No one paid attention to him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them, and he didn't know him.
Walking around the courtyard, you think, Liu Lan's height is incomparable with Guan Yu, but he is also seven feet, in addition to his extraordinary temperament, and unlike many literati, he is accompanied by a ring head knife on his waist, and he immediately has a feeling of 'standing out from the crowd', which is particularly conspicuous, in many surprised eyes, I don't want someone behind him to call him "De Ran!" ”
Liu Lan turned around, the person who called him was none other than Xian Yufu, who he had seen yesterday, and stepped forward with a smile, and said, "Xian Yu Duwei." ”
Xian Yufu smiled and said: "Good boy, your appointment is all in order, let's say, when can you come to office." ”
"The sooner the better, of course."
"Okay, you can come early tomorrow morning and deal with the details of Beikou."
Prepare for it? Liu Lan didn't know why, but as long as he went tomorrow, he believed that it would not be difficult for him, and said, "No, that kid will come to work early tomorrow morning." ”
Liu Lan and Xian Yufu walked towards the house while talking, and all the gentlemen and daughters who were still contemptuous and discriminatory along the road pointed at Liu Lan in private, but they were disdainful just now and now they were jealous, and they didn't know where this came from, and the pig and dog actually climbed onto the door of the captain and received the attention of the captain.
In Zhuo County, the real high-ranking family teachers are very strict and often self-conscious, whether it is the head of the Qianshou people's family or the poor family of the officials, they will not deliberately target, nor will they seem to be high, but these are the descendants of the officials who are like pigs and dogs in their eyes, and the descendants of the officials who are like grass mustard, spare no effort to show their identities, all kinds of contempt and insults and even make it difficult to suppress, and the upper is a group of wagging tails and begging for mercy, and now they see that they are talking with the captain very happily and sneering behind their backs, and they are afraid that the future of their parents will be affected by the captain's hear.
Liu Lan and Xian Yufu talked for a few words, but many old acquaintances blocked the way, although Xian Yufu spared no effort to introduce him, but obviously he came from the side, and now it is difficult to integrate into their circle, and even be ostracized, so listening to their talk, Liu Lan also took the opportunity to leave.
