Chapter 218: The Thanksgiving Banquet

Duan Chaozong, the prefect of Huizhou, has been in office for many years, although Xie Tingjie threw a hot potato to him when he left, but since he has done the most offending thing, that is, to get rid of Wang Youmin's fame, what he will do next is much simpler. pushed the matter to the chief manager of the Wang family, and then sentenced Liu Wanda to prison, as for the Zhuchuan Wang family, he didn't even move a finger. Although it seems that he has saved face for this former famous family in She County, everyone knows that this time the Wang family is really injured, and the inside is gone, where does the face come from?

Even Wang Shangxuan beat his grandson to death directly at the gate of the school, and was despised by countless people. Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, Wang Shangxuan is a grandfather, but when the matter comes, he pushes everything on his grandson's head, and he wants to be shameless? It's just a well-dressed beast, it's too untreatable! In contrast, let's take a look at the Wang Xiaoguan of the people, who came from the Wang family of Songming Mountain, with youthful spirit, love and righteousness!

He Mr. Ke sat down at the table, and even scattered a lot of posts to invite relatives and friends, even Ye Xianzun also invited, and a celebration banquet was held. Even Songbo, who happened to enter the city to sell sugar gourds on this day, was hard-pulled over by Wang Fulin.

When the banquet was toasted, Wang Fulin stood up and held a pot in one hand and a cup in the other, first smiled, and then began to speak.

"Today is not so much a celebration banquet as a thank-you banquet, or. Appreciation Banquet. I want to thank you. It is Mr. Fang and Mr. Ke's careful teaching and guidance for many days. But in addition, there are Ye Xianzun and other people here, or all the elders and relatives and friends who were not able to be here today! There is a saying that I rely on my parents at home, my friends when I go out, and my parents travel far away, and I have suffered many times in the past few months, if there were not so many people to lend a hand. With full help, how can there be today's eyebrows? So, I'm here to pay respect! ”

Wang Fulin took the lead in drinking and lit up the bottom of the cup, and when he saw that the officials at the tables next to him burst into a burst of cheers, he poured another cup, and then said with a smile: "This second cup is for the great master who is not here." If it weren't for the great grandmaster's discernment and integrity, how could there be a blue sky and white sun in this annual examination? It is precisely because there are indomitable righteous gentlemen like great masters in the world. Only then can the reader move forward with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about those tricks! This cup is a distant tribute to the great master. I'll do it again! ”

This time, seeing that Wang Fulin drank dry in one go, while people applauded, some people remembered the end of the question in Wang Fulin's annual examination paper before the school, and asked it, but they didn't want Wang Fulin to smile shyly and retell the nonsense he had said to Xie Tingjie at the beginning. Although the Song Dynasty is quite close to now, because the Mongols entered the Central Plains, he doesn't know how many things are scattered in the middle, and he is certainly not afraid of being picked up. Not only that, but he also greeted everyone like a preventive shot.

"I'm not good at anything else, I read a lot of miscellaneous books, so one or two good sentences suddenly pop out of my mouth that are not shocking and endless, and sometimes I may not remember the source, so everyone will get used to it in the future. Of course, don't come to me to write poetry, I really can't do this. ”

Thinking of the scene when Wang Fulin choked people upstairs and couldn't get off the stage, everyone around suddenly burst into laughter, but no one would really think that Wang Fulin couldn't make poems. Next, Wang Fulin pulled Cheng Naixuan to toast one by one, not to mention these big names in Ye County's respect for Wu Lao, even Liu Hui and Wu Si Zhao Wuye Xiao Zhenyue also toasted each other, which made everyone flattered and happy. In the end, Wang Fulin came to Songbo, and after filling it for the old man personally, he took the small wine glass and touched it next to the other party's wine glass, and said with a smile: "Songbo, you are the first noble person I have met, thank you!" ”

"Ringer......"

Seeing that Wang Fulin had already drunk it, Songbo hurriedly raised his glass and drank it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Songming Mountain Village has a good descendant like you, and Mr. Nanming has a successor!" ”

With such a blatant compliment, Wang Fulin suddenly sweated profusely. Wang Daokun is an old man in the literary world, a famous minister who resisted the Japanese, and now he is a feudal official, he is not so ambitious in this small show! But it wasn't just Songbo, when he returned to the main table, he saw that Cheng Naixuan was still being entangled in drinking, so he only heard Mr. Ke say with a smile: "Fu Lin, on this good day today, you will be admitted to the first class in the year, and it will be easy to get the qualification for the township examination in the year after tomorrow, and it should be time to make a statement." ”

Wang Fulin didn't have much feeling about the table characters, and couldn't help scratching his head at this time and said, "This...... There's no hurry, right? ”

At this time, even Ye Junyao interjected seriously: "It's not early, your parents are not here, you not only supported the duties of the head of the family, but also did a lot of great things in She County and Huizhou Mansion." Although it has not yet reached the crown, it has become a young man, and if you don't have a word at this time, you can't say it. Today is full of friends, everyone brainstorms together, and thinks of a good one for Fu Lin, how about it? ”

For a while, all four seats were applauding. Wang Fulin, who was dumbfounded, could only see those who were qualified to participate in it discussing, discussing, and arguing with great interest, and the wishes of he, the parties, were completely ignored. And Cheng Naixuan was poured back half dead, and after sitting next to him, he whispered: "What kind of words, I think the word Shuangmu is catchy, simple and clear, very good......"

Although his voice was very soft, Mr. Fang next to him had such keen ears, and immediately said: "The name of the milk is the name of the milk, and the parents call it for love, how can it be confused with the words that imply ardent hope?" ”

"That's not the case, I think Shuangmu is pretty good." Rubbing his chin, it was Mr. Ke who began to raise the bar with Mr. Fang.

The next time suddenly became a time for these two to quote scriptures and argue, and the others, whether it was Ye Junyao, a two-list jinshi, or Wu Laoyuanwai, a township elder who had read a lot, or Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan, two rookie readers, could only watch in amazement as Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang went from naming to the origin of the Four Books and the Five Classics, and then to all kinds of miscellaneous books that they had never heard of. The fight was dark. The sun and the moon have no light. But these two are still fighting and eating. It's a complete violation of the rule of not saying anything, but it still seems very natural.

As for Wang Fulin, after he was surprised, he was very happy that everyone was not entangled in his own words, and he enjoyed this rare debate while enjoying Cheng Naixuan's feast, and his mood was very relaxed.

It's really not too good to have nothing to do, drink, eat, eat and watch the lively feeling!

In the end, his cousin was still difficult to deliver.

The old house of the Xu family on Doosan Street. At this time, Old Madam Fang and Old Madam Xu sighed at the same time when they looked at the invitation on the small table. Because the second master Xu held his breath, he didn't agree to have anything to do with Wang Fulin anymore, and even took out the large amount of debts of the Wang family to talk about things. As for Master Xu San, because Master Xu is alone in charge of the business of the Lianghuai Salt Industry, he is still secretly making trouble, let alone joining in such a lively scene. So the only person in the Xu family who attended was Wang Fulin's eldest brother-in-law Xu Zhen, and the relationship with them was actually very close, but Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Fang brought a heavy thank you gift.

"The boss has a vision. is in Yangzhou, and Xiaowei is not his daughter. is the daughter of the third child. Old lady Xu shook her head, finally took the invitation card in her hand, and said thoughtfully, "After all, I have never seen him, and it is not good to join in this excitement today, tomorrow, I will go to see him in person." Xiaowei, I personally went to thank you, I can't pretend not to know. As for the rest, a qiē with the edge. Xiaowei, you go and talk about it in person, she has eaten enough lessons, and she doesn't need to be grounded. These granddaughters of our family, just count her innocent, fresh and lovely, and she will marry someone in the future, so she might as well live a more wanton life now. ”

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved." Old Madam Fang immediately laughed, and then stood up, "It's just that you're not afraid of going to visit Wang Xiaoguan at such a young age and being laughed at by others?" ”

"I'm just an old idler now, and I'm not a door-to-door matchmaker, as long as the person is really interesting, it's okay to be a little friend, who are afraid of gossiping? If Mrs. Xu hadn't funded Xu Hanlin back then, even if she was really over 100 years old, where would it really be so easy to get the imperial court's favor? Looking at people's affairs, although I may not be as accurate as Mrs. Xu, I also have some eyesight. Old lady Xu boasted about himself, and when he saw his wife glaring at him angrily, he was still proud, "It's better than Wang Shangning's life, but when he gets old, he has planted a big heel!" ”

"I'm not as good as you in the end. You take the eldest with you, and now he can take charge on his own, but the second and third eldest in the family can't help but ......" Mrs. Fang was supposed to complain that she didn't take good care of the other two sons, and suddenly she only felt that a hand was pressed on her shoulder.

"Don't take everything on yourself. How many people seem to be harmonious and beautiful, as soon as they encounter the problem of money, they immediately make housework, the richer and more expensive, the more so, this little disgrace in our family is not a big deal. The salt industry can't tolerate two or three voices in a family. Over the years, I have been focusing on the outside, and now that I have returned to my hometown, I also want to do something for my hometown fathers. ”

Hearing that her wife actually said this, Mrs. Fang suddenly smiled, crossed her fingers and said, "Build roads, build bridges, sponsor colleges, and sponsor students...... Even if the good deeds you do are not as good as Old Lady Xu, they are not much worse. Why, what do you want to do now? ”

Old lady Xu stroked her beard, and there was no longer any hint of banter on her face: "Do you remember the past when He Dongxu soldiers surrounded Xiyuan and Beiyuan?" ”

Old Madam Fang was stunned for a moment. She took a light breath, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Why don't you remember?" At that time, the entire Huizhou Prefecture and six counties were almost boiling, and it was precisely because of public grievances that He Dongxu later had a reputation for cruelty, was impeached, transferred, and demoted, and I don't know how many people applauded. But even though it's been so many years, do you really think it's okay to ......?"

"Now that the pattern between the DPRK and China is not as good as before, we may be able to think of a way. I'll come forward to find out the news about this matter, don't worry about it for now! ”

The old man and wife talked for a while, and it didn't take long for Mrs. Fang to go to see Xu Wei in person. Knowing that she didn't have to be grounded, Miss Xu Jiajiu, who had lost several pounds in more than a month, raised her head and stared at her grandmother in disbelief, and stammered for a long time before she stammered and asked, "Grandmother, really...... Does it really matter? ”。

"Silly girl, it was just to scare you before, so that you can know what the rules are from now on!" Saying this, Mrs. Fang thought of personally carrying the letter to Xu Rong, the shy eldest lady said that it was all her own fault in the letter, she couldn't help but smile and pinched her granddaughter's cheek, "Eat a trench and grow wise, don't fool around in the future!" Your sister-in-law has mentioned you several times, so let's go shopping! ”

It was only at this time that Xu Wei jumped up all of a sudden, hugged her grandmother tightly, and cried with joy. And Mrs. Fang hugged her baby granddaughter, but her mind had already flown to what her wife said.

Of course, the power of the Xu family on Doosan Street alone is not enough, didn't my wife hit Wang Fulin with her idea, right?

ps: Ask for a recommended ticket on Monday, of course, it would be better if you have a monthly pass! The air conditioner is installed at home today, the old one is broken, and the weather will be ambushed as soon as the plum is out (>_
