Chapter 228: Banquet for Guests
"Come on, come on, Liu Mou toast everyone!"
Liu Yiyi stood next to the main seat in the main hall, raised his glass and toasted to the guests below, and Lao Liu also sat in a wheelchair and toasted with him.
"Some time ago, when my father unfortunately encountered an accident in the county, thanks to the help of your uncles and brothers, Liu thanked everyone here." Liu Yiyi looked around at the crowd on the table, Yang Bofang, Gongsun Wenda, Gongsun Helan, Zhao Kaifang, Zhao Ying, Du Xian, Du Zhigui, and the county Cheng of Sanyuan, Qu Tuzixu.
All the four big families in Sanyuan and the current county officials were invited by Liu Yiyi, and Liu Yiyi also prepared dozens of jars of sake with no low degree, and today he wants to get drunk with these people.
No one knew what kind of medicine Liu Yiyi was selling in this gourd, why did he invite them to drink at this time, if it was a thank you wine, then why wasn't it when he just came back from Jiangnan?
And when it comes to thank-you gifts, half of them don't seem to have much to do with this matter, that is, after Lao Liu's leg was injured, they just politely sent a condolence gift.
Among all the people seated, only the two old men, Yang Bofang and Gongsun Wuda, who knew a little about Liu Yiyi, slightly guessed some of Liu Yiyi's thoughts, Liu Yiyi, this kid, was afraid that he was going to do it.
Liu Yi tilted his neck and poured the wine down, and then ordered someone to fill the wine glass.
"Thank you Brother Yang, Brother Gongsun, and all the old men," waiting for everyone to put down their wine glasses, Liu Laoshi also raised his glass and spoke: "Especially Qutu County Cheng, if it weren't for your fair judgment that day, I am afraid that Xiaomin's life would not have been saved." ”
Lao Liu's tone was very sincere, telling the truth and telling the truth, especially after he learned the identity of Wu Zuijian, he was even more grateful for Qu Tuzixu's verdict. not only avoided the head-on conflict between their Liu family and the Hou family, but also justly obtained thirty yuan of silver for him.
But Lao Liu's truth, the truth, listened to Qu Tuzixu's ears, but it was a sentence of sarcasm, and half of Qu Tuzixu's face was all red.
It seems that he really shouldn't have come today, but he didn't believe it, Liu Yiyi specially invited him here, just to shame him and mock him?
What happened to Lao Liu, everyone present knew it, but no one said anything, because if it was in Qu Tuzixu's position, most of them would do the same, and no one would be willing to offend a powerful person for the sake of a civilian.
Hou Junji is amazing, and most of the people present are clear in their hearts.
"Old Liu's words are serious!" Seeing Lao Liu pouring down the wine, Qu Tuzi also took a cup and signaled to Lao Liu, and drank it with his neck up. If he is willing to come here today, he is already mentally prepared, not begging Liu Yiyi to forgive him, but begging Liu Yiyi not to deal with him sincerely.
Although Liu Yiyi is a civilian, Qu Tuzixu knows that if Liu Yiyi is ruthless, he is in Sanyuan, and he is afraid that he will not be able to live in peace.
Liu Yiyi glanced at Lao Liu appreciatively, he didn't expect Lao Liu to be able to say such a high level of words.
Seeing Qu Tuzixu's old face half red and half green, Liu Yiyi chuckled, and was no longer embarrassed by him, he sat down, glanced at the eight people sitting there, and said with a smile: "Please come today, there is no other intention, just to say thank you." So you don't have to be inhibited, just eat and drink to your heart's content. ”
Liu Yiyi glanced at Liu Wuchen on the side, Liu Wuchen understood, so he turned around and ordered someone to take the sake he had prepared in advance, and in front of everyone, a jar of three catties of sprinkling was placed.
"Today, we won't get drunk or go home!" Liu Yiyi stretched out his hand to pick up the altar in front of him, opened the wax seal on it, and said to the old and young people who were seated.
"Good! If you don't get drunk, you won't return, big brother, little brother will accompany you! Gongsun Helan took the lead in standing up, opened the wine jar, and gestured to Liu Yiyi, with the intention of pouring down in one breath.
At the critical time, only this brother can stand up the most, Liu Yiyi glanced at Gongsun Helan and smiled lightly, this brother did not make friends in vain.
"Eh, how can this drink be done without an order? A virtuous nephew, why don't we make a wine order. Although I don't know what kind of medicine Liu Yiyi is selling, Liu Yiyi wants to get everyone drunk, but Gongsun Wenda sees it, so he stands up with a smile and helps Liu Yiyi.
Drinking orders, whether literati or samurai, are commonly used to help drinking, is the late Gongsun Wenda when he talked about it, most of the people present also agreed.
"Liquor order? Hehe," Liu Yiyi chuckled, glanced at Gongsun Wenda, and said, "Then according to Uncle Gongsun's wishes, let's make a frog fall into the water." ”
Ten people playing together will definitely be fun.
Liu Yiyi couldn't help but think of the last time he was in the 'Qingfeng Pavilion', when he and Gongsun Helan and Li Ru seemed to count frogs, it was very lively, and the wine was also very fast.
After briefly explaining the rules of the wine order to Gongsun Wenda, the ten people counted the frog's legs in the living room.
"A frog with one mouth, two eyes and four legs, plopping and jumping into the water!"
"Two frogs with two mouths, four eyes and eight legs, 'plop' and 'plop' jump into the water!"
...
"Eleven frogs, eleven mouths, twenty-two eyes, forty-four legs, 'plop', 'plop', 'plop'...'plop' jump into the water!"
...
Walking down in three and four circles, except for Liu Yiyi, who could count thirteen frogs, the others could count at most twelve and then fall.
The atmosphere at the banquet was also livened up by this unique wine order, ten people counted the frogs together, drank, drank, counted the frogs, and the afternoon passed.
Looking at the sky outside, the sun was already setting in the west, and the western sky was dyed red by the setting sun.
Liu Yiyi looked at everyone sitting again, except for Liu Laoshi's alcohol consumption, he was pushed to the backyard to rest early, and everyone else was still sitting at the wine table, but they were already eight points drunk, and many people began to talk nonsense.
"Okay, full of wine and food, let's be here today," Liu Yiyi also shook his head, shook off a little drunkenness in his brain, stood up with a smile and said to Gongsun Wuda, Qu Tuzixu: "Thank you uncles and brothers for being able to come to Liu today, it's getting late today, so let's stay in the cold house for the time being." Dust-free, send a few masters, young masters to the backyard guest room to rest. ”
"Yes, young master." Liu Wuchen bent over, and then led a few subordinates to help everyone who was already drunk and dizzy to the backyard of Liufu.
"Young master, it's all arranged." After a while, Liu Wuchen came back to return to Liu Yiyi, then looked up at Liu Yiyi, and said, "I don't know what the young master plans to do?" ”
"Do nothing," Liu Yiyi raised his arm and yawned, and said to Liu Wuchen, "Lie on the bed and sleep." ”
Then, after a night without saying a word, Yanagichi returned to his room and slept all night.
On the second day, when the hangover lords and young masters had just gotten up from bed and gathered in the hall of the Liu family for breakfast again, there was a news from the county that Qu Tuzixu had been transferred.
Moreover, the place where he was transferred was still a small county in the northwesternmost part of Datang, and the transfer order is now in the county office.
After Qu Tuzi heard the words, his face suddenly lost blood, and after glancing at Liu Yiyi with a complicated expression, he hurriedly led the official back, and there was a messenger in the county office, waiting for him to receive it.
"One, this..?" Yang Bofang glanced at Liu Yiyi, hadn't he already promised not to make trouble with Qu Tugan again, what?
"Uncle Yang," Liu Yiyi glanced at Yang Bofang, and the others who looked at him with the same gaze, and said with a wry smile: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I really didn't think about dealing with Qutu County Cheng." You must know that the Qu Tu family also has great kindness to our Liu family, how could I, Liu Yiyi, do such an ungrateful thing for some trivial things? ”
Qu Tuzi was transferred, and Liu Yiyi was also very surprised, but he quickly thought of the reason, I'm afraid it was the role of his 'Liu's Fat Workshop', right? If so, then this effect is inevitably too small.
Abandon the car to protect the handsome, it seems that Li Shimin, a famous gentleman, attaches great importance to Wu Zuijian's kid. Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
"Well," Yang Bofang nodded lightly, looking at Liu Yiyi's expression, this matter may really have nothing to do with him.
"Uncle Yang," Gongsun Helan interjected on the side: "Don't say that the eldest brother won't do this, in fact, he really did it, so what?" Could it be that Qu Tuzi got such a fate, shouldn't it? ”
For Qu Tugan's actions that day, Gongsun Helan couldn't stand it for a long time, if it weren't for the old man of their family watching from the sidelines, he was afraid that at that time, he would have fought with that Wu drunken sword.
Seeing that the eldest brother's father was trampled on and misjudged, Gongsun Helan had a fire burning in his heart.
"Shut up!" Gongsun Wenda glared at their son fiercely, how could such words be said in front of so many people, isn't this a lack of heart?
