In the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived.

Yesterday, Ouyang Shuo hosted a banquet for hundreds of civil and military officials in the summer palace, which was attended not only by ministers who were above the fifth rank in Beijing, but also by 12 governors who went to Beijing to report on their work, and by five commanders in the army.

The lineup is so luxurious that it's jaw-dropping.

The governor and the commanders either guard a province or a town, and they are all powerful factions in the court, and they can be described as feudal officials. Their entry into Beijing this time is naturally not a simple reminiscence, but a heavy responsibility.

After the Spring Festival, Ouyang Shuo will hold a grand court meeting.

…………

Summer Palace, Zhaohua Palace.

Zhaohua Hall is located in the southwest corner of the palace, which is the place where Ouyang Shuo set up banquets.

During the Spring Festival, the summer palace of Nuoda has already been dressed up in a new way, and the lights are everywhere, but compared with the casual of the people, there are more rules in the palace and pavilion, adding a touch of solemnity.

Everything has to be secreted with royal etiquette, and there must be no mistakes.

Therefore, even on Chinese New Year's Eve, no one dares to play in the palace.

Zhaohua Hall has already placed a piece of rosewood table, on the table there are peanuts, walnuts and other dried fruits, what is more rare is that in the middle of winter, you can see bananas, pineapples, oranges and other seasonal fruits.

Looking at the crystal clear peel, it seems that it has just been picked, which is amazing.

Of course, Daxia did not master any greenhouse planting technology, nor did it have modern refrigerators to keep them fresh, and these fruits were paid tribute by the Moroccan and Somali provinces before the year.

Occasionally, there are Southeast Asian fruits from Seongju County and fresh milk from the Auckland area.

With the help of the teleportation array, anything can happen, and the summer palace has fresh fruits from all over the world all year round, and it can still drink freshly squeezed milk from Auckland every morning.

This is called being rich all over the world.

The hall is lit with delicate charcoal fires and Somali spices, which makes people's hearts warm and drives away the cold of winter.

In the main hall of Nuoda, the main members of the Ouyang clan, the core members of the Lin clan, and the core members of the Song family headed by Song Tianxiong gathered together.

There are more than 100 people.

The two brothers Song Wen and Song Wu were impressively listed, and Song Tianxiong's expression was a little weird, he originally hoped that his daughter Song Jia would give birth to an heir, which could stabilize the status of the Song family's relatives.

Who would have thought that the king would play such a play.

Even if it is a relative of the emperor, there is a difference between relatives and aliens. Among the Ouyang clan, the natural status of the same branch as Ouyang Shuo's grandfather is the most noble, and then there is the side branch, and under it is Ouyang Shuo's mother's Lin family, and Song Jia's maternal family Song family.

Everyone sat down one by one according to the carefully arranged seating order. There is a row of desks in the middle of the main hall, with only four seats, which are the seats of honor for tonight. The closer the seat is to the seat of the guest of honor, the higher the status.

There were both elderly people and children of five or six years old.

No matter who they are, they all wear well-prepared services, especially those with knighthoods, and they are even wearing royal knightly clothes, envying others.

Sitting in the hall, these people were both restrained and a little excited waiting for the banquet to begin, and from time to time they talked to the left and right, and did not dare to speak loudly.

Children who should be noisy and playful are restrained by their parents in their seats, writhing restlessly.

At the corner on the right, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy stiffly broke off a yellow, orange and orange banana on the desk, and said enviously: "Brother Shuo is so powerful, you can buy anything." ”

It looks like it's a snack guy.

"It's good to know, you have to study hard so that you can help your brother in the future." The father, who was sitting on the side of the boy, looked at his son fondly, and admonished him earnestly.

For Ouyang, the surprise was like falling from the sky.

The young man's father is named Ouyang Gong, because he worked in a bank in reality, and was arranged to work in Sihai Bank, I heard that he was very valued by Meng Zhida.

A few years ago, Ouyang Gong was awarded the title of second-class earl, which is considered to be the outstanding among the clansmen. For the adults of the Ouyang family, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can go several times faster than ordinary people, or even more than ten times.

Thinking of the envy of his former bosses and colleagues, and even some flattery and flattery, Ouyang Gong was full of emotion. Since the king issued an edict, his house has been full of people, and there is an endless stream of guests.

There are former colleagues, friends, classmates, and even strangers who are just nodding their heads, but anyone who can have a little connection will come to the door to congratulate them.

This is what it is called: "When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven." ”

Ouyang Gong's mind was still sober, and he was not corroded by these sugar-coated shells, and he knew that the Ouyang family could have today's glory thanks to the nephew in the palace who had not yet met.

Which is more important, Ouyang Gong is very clear.

He heard that there were two cousins who were very close to their nephews because of their misconduct on weekdays, and they only received the title of a third-class baron.

Undoubtedly, this is a warning.

Regarding that nephew's methods, although Ouyang Gong was a generation older, he could only be admired.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, a female official sang: "The king has arrived!" ”

"Wow!" Suddenly, more than 100 guests in the hall got up together and looked at the northeast corner of the main hall. I saw Ouyang Shuo come with his wife Song Jia, sister Bing'er and aunt Lin Jing.

"Wang Shang'an!"

All of you bow in unison.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, came to the main seat, and pressed down with his hands, "Today is a family banquet, there is no difference between up and down." There are my grandparents, uncles, and nephews here, all of whom are a family, so don't be too restricted. ”

As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo took the lead and sat down.

"Whoa", the others sat down, and the expressions on their faces were much more natural.

Although everyone is a modern person and is not bound by feudal etiquette, they are really in the magnificent palace hall, and they are unconsciously brought into a solemn atmosphere when they see the palace guards guarding the palace outside the palace, and the female officials and palace maids who stand on one side of the palace.

People don't think there's anything wrong with it, on the contrary, it's an honor.

The glory of the family.

They seem to foresee that the Ouyang family will also shine in Kyushu like the legendary emperor's family.

At the beginning of the banquet, the palace maid sent a plate of delicious food, and among the younger generation, he could also get a red envelope sent by Ouyang Shuo himself, pressed on the tray, and asked for an auspicious one.

There are bands playing on both sides, and singing and dancing in the middle of the main hall are entertaining.

Soon after the opening, Ouyang Shuo raised his glass, and suddenly the drum music stopped, and the hall was quiet. Many of the people present were not curious when they saw this legendary legend for the first time.

Ouyang Shuo got up, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion, it is not easy for us to get together." Yesterday's Great Summer has become a thing of the past, and tomorrow's Great Summer still depends on your hand in hand. ”

"I'll give you a toast!"

As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo drank it all.

This is Ouyang Shuo's clearest statement on the positioning of the family, and everyone present, especially the adult men, was all excited, and they took a sip of the wine in the cup.

Refreshing.

The banquet entered its peak, and Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained in your seat, just be casual. ”

As he spoke, he personally led his wife Song Jia and Bing'er to the front row of guests to toast. Song Jia didn't wear the queen's crown dress today, but wore a regular dress, just because she was worried about a sense of alienation.

Bing'er was wearing a snow-white classical princess dress, slim and elegant, although she was naughty and mischievous on weekdays, but on such occasions, she had just the right court etiquette, and she had received an excellent education at a glance.

When others saw it, they all sighed.

This family is really all the dragons and phoenixes among people, and they can't accept it.

It can be described as a model of the royal family.

The people sitting in the front row were all the old men of the family, and the three marquis were impressively in the ranks.

The old man with the highest title is named Ouyang Bo, who is the brother of Ouyang Shuo's grandfather, and in terms of seniority, Ouyang Shuo also has to be called grandpa, and he is regarded as the closest elder in the family.

This grandfather is not in good health, his body is emaciated, and his face is full of wrinkles.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled and raised his glass, Song Jia was naturally a husband and wife. There was no one from the Ouyang family at the time of the wedding, and Song Jia really saw the "in-laws" this time.

Ouyang Bo's face was filled with a kind smile, he patted Ouyang Shuo's hand tremblingly, and said with a smile: "Jia'er and beautiful woman, good, good!! ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded heavily, it was only at this moment that he felt the strength and warmth of the family.

The banquet lasted until half past seven in the evening.

After the reunion dinner, everyone moved to the Imperial Garden together, watched the fireworks show, and drank and had fun. The children were playing in the grass, so unhappy.

The imperial garden on this night was brightly lit.

As a "landlord", Bing'er once again incarnated as the child king, leading a group of cousins and cousins to have fun in the imperial garden, going to the lake to see goldfish for a while, and provoking pandas for a while.

Carefree.

Hearing Bing'er's crisp laughter from afar, Ouyang Shuo let out a knowing smile.

Bing'er is lonely.

As Ouyang Shuo's status became more and more prominent, Bing'er, the only princess of the lineage, naturally became a high-profile existence, and the teachers who taught the class also became stricter.

In Shanhai City, the children who were originally following Bing'er's ass gradually dispersed.

The vastly different statuses doomed them to no longer be able to get along with Bing'er safely. Even if the children want to, their parents will tell them not to be disrespectful to the lord, and to let Her Royal Highness the princess.

After a long time, they gradually drifted apart.

Huo Chengjun, the only one who is the same age as Bing'er, has been with his father Huo Guang all the year round, and he has no chance to see him. When he was really bored, Bing'er, the child, could only be in the company of a group of spirit beasts and talk to himself.

Ouyang Shuo sometimes saw it, but he didn't feel distressed.

He didn't know whether today's encounter was good or bad for Bing'er.

This time he was willing to accept the clansmen in its entirety, Ouyang Shuo did not have this consideration, or only with his cousins and sisters could Bing'er really have fun.

The blood is connected, but it is the most unrestrained.

"With this laughter, it's worth everything." Ouyang Shuo thought secretly in his heart.

Song Jia went back to the palace early to rest because she was pregnant. Ouyang Shuo stood in the pavilion, chatting with the elders, and talking about his struggle over the years.

The elders were also tired and went back.

A family banquet came to an end.
