Chapter 392: Confrontation at the Banquet
Xia Nan looked at Lin Weiye, who was led by a puppet to complete the tedious procedures, gloating in his heart, and said in his heart: When I get married, I will never do this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoLuckily, it was a Western-style wedding with Maria, and it was much simpler. Chunlan is a concubine, and she doesn't need to be married by the media.
After a long day of tossing, night fell, and Lin Weiye's house was full of banquets and guests.
In addition to the people above the level of steward of the Qiongzhou camp system, the rest of the guests who can enter tonight's table are guests from various states and counties. The level of these guests is not low, headed by Zhao Yue, the governor of the same government, and there are magistrates of Lingao, Chengmai, Danzhou and other places, who usually stomp on the ground and tremble three times, but today they are all sitting honestly like ordinary guests.
Xia Nan pulled the groom official Lin Weiye, stood in the middle of the courtyard, held a glass of wine in his right hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, today is the joy of Lao Lin's wedding, I shouldn't be noisy, but some words are not unhappy, take this opportunity to say it today, I believe the groom official will not mind." ”
Tan Shan and others are like compelling cross talk actors, and they all said: "The general has something to say." ”
"The development of my Qiongzhou battalion to today's achievements in just three years is inseparable from your sincere cooperation and the trust and support of the people of Qiongzhou. Except for me and a few people such as Lao Lin, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Sima, the rest of the Qiongzhou battalion are all natives of Qiongzhou, but no matter where they come from, they are now eating rice and drinking water from Qiongzhou Mansion......
Zhao Yue's brows furrowed, what is this nonsense talking about?
Wei Bocheng, the magistrate of Danzhou, asked Zhao Yue at the same table in a low voice: "Lord Zhao, this surnamed Xia has pulled us to the high school, what are we going to do?" ”
Zhao Yue snorted coldly: "You won't just invite us to eat and drink, you wait, the show is behind." ”
After Xia Nan said some nonsense, he introduced the main topic: "...... As much capacity as possible, as much responsibility as possible, the Qiongzhou battalion is stationed in Lingao, and the defense area is the capital of Qiongzhou, so it is natural to contribute to the security and stability of Qiongzhou. Therefore, in the future, as long as it is the affairs of the Qiongzhou government, we in Qiongzhou will do our part to share the worries and solve problems for the adults in the prefecture and counties, and for the people of Qiongzhou......"
Zhao Yue's face was difficult to look at, but he didn't speak.
Liu Zezhong, the county governor of Chengmai, was filled after Lin Sanfeng's death, and he did not experience the encirclement and suppression of Bofu, and he did not know what the strength of the Qiongzhou battalion was. He didn't want to come to the banquet, but the county officials and officials all urged him to go to the banquet, as if he was offended by the summer and the sky was about to fall, he couldn't help it, and he wanted to see if this person had three heads and six arms, so he came to Lingao.
Seeing Xia Nan say such a thing, as if he wanted to meddle in all the affairs of Qiongzhou Mansion, he was furious, and shouted: "Martial artists can do their part, and the local affairs of various states and counties are not your turn to interfere!" ”
The whole courtyard looked at him in unison, and the audience was silent. Zhao Yue and Wu Mingjin didn't expect that this benevolent brother had a strong sense of justice, and they didn't have time to stop it, so they secretly complained.
Xia Nan's words were cut off, and he was not annoyed, he looked over here and said leisurely: "This one looks a little raw?" ”
Liu Quan was responsible for organizing the wedding banquet and receiving guests, knowing that this was the newly appointed Chengmai Zhixian County, and introduced on the side: "General Yu, this is the new Chengmai Zhixian Liu." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Liu. Since Lord Liu said so, it just so happens that Zhao Tongzhi of Qiongzhou Mansion is also there, please ask Lord Zhao to testify, I will never interfere in anything in Chengmai County in the future! Xia Nan smiled and asked, "Lord Liu, what do you think?" ”
Liu Zezhong smiled contemptuously, everyone is afraid of people like tigers, just paper tigers.
Zhao Yue felt that this matter was by no means so simple, but the current situation did not allow him to say anything, so he had to raise his glass: "Today is a day of great joy, don't hurt the harmony." Come, I'll give the bridegroom a drink. ”
Lin Weiye was very face-saving, walked over and raised his glass and said: "Today is my marriage, I should respect Lord Zhao and everyone here." ”
Xia Nan introduced on the side: "Lord Zhao, this is my brother, and the cannons and guns of the Qiongzhou battalion are all from him. ”
When it came to artillery, Zhao Yue immediately thought of being shelled by a warship while organizing the transportation of grain at the wharf in Qiongshan County, when he was almost crushed to death by dozens of catties of cannons. Thinking of this scene, I couldn't help but shudder.
A round of wine was toasted, and the atmosphere eased somewhat. Summer Nan looked as usual, as if nothing had happened. Liu Zezhong was triumphant, looking left and right, and Wei Bocheng and Wu Mingjin on the side were silent.
Zhao Yue was a little worried in his heart, Liu Zezhong offended Xia Nan, and he would never just forget it, but he couldn't think of how Xia Nan would retaliate. After thinking for a while, I took a sip, Lao Tzu is not the main hall of Qiongzhou Mansion, nor is he the county of Chengmai, so he is worried about a ball. I took a sip of the wine glass, I didn't know the taste of food just now, and I felt that this sip of wine was mellow and moistened my throat, and I couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" ”
No matter how famous Xia Nan is, the "Tianya Xiang" brewed by his winery is really a rare good wine.
Seeing that Shangguan had the intention to drink, Wei Bocheng cheered up and toasted him: "Lord Zhao is busy with official business on weekdays, and it is rare for me to drink at the same table with Lord Zhao. After saying that, he drank it all.
The state and county parents toasted, and Zhao Yue naturally wanted to give face: "Wei Zhixian is polite, it is also fate to drink at the same table today, let's not get drunk and not return." He drank the wine in his glass.
Since they started up, Liu Zezhong and Wu Mingjin naturally couldn't help but respect Zhao Yue and began to toast in turn.
Although Zhao Yue was annoyed that Liu Zezhong was reckless, he had to pretend to be indifferent on the surface, and no matter who toasted, he would not refuse.
Wu Mingjin vaguely felt that Zhao Yue was a little bit of a drunken drinker to kill his sorrows, he was dignified and knew the same thing, and sat here with his anger, even if he was at the same table with a group of Qipin Zhixian County, most of the guests around him were from pawns, and they were vulgar, and they were simply swept away. Thinking that Shangguan was like this, his situation was nothing, and he found some balance in his heart. Since Shangguan wanted to use Du Kang to relieve his worries, he just catered to him, and he toasted frequently at the moment.
As the saying goes, a dehaired phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but even a dehaired phoenix is still a phoenix after all. Zhao Yue's official authority at this table of officials of all sizes could not be placed in front of Xia Nan, but most of the rest of the people were from ordinary people, and their awe of the government was deep-rooted. Zhao Yue and the others poured themselves a drink, and after three rounds of wine, they all nodded up.
