"General Wang, but I haven't seen you for a while, my cousin is still obedient in General Wang's barracks, right?"

"If the training fails to reach the goal, although General Wang punishes him severely, he must not look at the face of our family, and he will easily spare that little boy every time."

"At this point, please rest assured that the little marquis."

"All soldiers in our army will naturally go through rigorous training, and I will also help them grow into men who stand up to the sky as soon as possible."

"By the way, come over today, I also want to introduce two guests to the little marquis."

As he spoke, General Wang called Qiu Yan and the others over.

After introducing their identities, the couple bowed their heads slightly in front of the little marquis.

"Huh? This is the head of the Lu family and Mrs. Lu! It's really my fault to miss the distance, quick, sit here with the two of you. ”

Hearing General Wang say that the two of them were important people who had made great contributions to the construction of Qiguang Mansion before, Fang Xiaohou really had great respect for them.

After hurriedly arranging for the two of them to sit down beside him, he said with a smile.

"I've heard about the exploits of the two of them before, but I didn't expect to see them in my house today, it's really my honor!"

"Please don't be inhibited, just treat this place as if it were your home."

Qiu Yan and his wife didn't expect that this Fang Xiaohou was so easy to get along with, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Soon, he returned to his calm appearance and began to greet Fang Xiaohouye.

However, there are also people on the scene who know about them, after all, everything powerful and powerful will naturally have something to do with business.

Even if there is no normal store at home, there will be people who take the initiative to stammer, and naturally know that the couple's express delivery business is booming.

But at the same time, most of the people who were able to be invited by Fang Xiaohou were some knowledgeable people, so naturally they didn't look at the businessmen who smelled of copper coins.

Therefore, when Fang Xiaohou took the initiative to take the lead in exchanging gifts with his friends, someone was deliberately talking in a weird way.

"I've heard that businessmen usually only give gifts of extremely tacky jewelry and the like, but I don't know what those two are going to give today?"

"Your Excellency doesn't have to wait too long, you will soon know what kind of gift our husband and wife have prepared."

After speaking, Qiu Yan personally took out a pair of extremely delicate wood carvings prepared by Lu Chiye before.

After showing it in front of Fang Xiaohou, those guests were surprised to find that this wood carving looked vivid.

Especially after Lu Chiye shook the mechanism above, the bird carved from wood began to walk freely on the ground, and it would also turn around.

When the time is almost right, there will be a chirping.

Seeing that those people showed a look of surprise, Qiu Yan glanced at Lu Chiye, and couldn't help but say a little proudly.

"This is my husband you personally made the watchbird, when you need to play the watch, as long as you pluck this clockwork to the right position in advance, the watchdog will automatically chirp, which is much more useful than letting people wake up!"

"And on weekdays, when you don't have to play the shift, you can also play with the children, which is very interesting!"

Everyone present boasted that they were well-informed, but today was the first time they had seen such a new and interesting thing.

Coupled with the good temperament of the two, many people are impressed.

The person who ridiculed Qiu Yan and his wife at the beginning didn't expect that he would now become the object of ridicule by everyone, and his face was red and white.

In the end, I almost gritted my teeth and squeezed out a few words from between my lips and teeth.

"What's the big deal? Isn't it just something that can be made? Any carpenter in my family can do that! If the two of you really have the ability, you will come to the scene later, and let's have a serious comparison! ”

"Wang Gongzi, please be polite when you speak!" Fang Xiaohou Ye looked at this annoyed young man, and couldn't help but warn.

Then, he slowly walked to the side of Qiu Yan and his wife.

bowed his head in front of Lu Chiye and apologized extremely sincerely.

"Please also ask the head of the Lu family not to be like Wang Gongzi, he has just returned to the capital, and he has been in the north before, and his temper may be similar to that of the people in the north. But he didn't mean to, either. ”

"It's still Fang Xiaohou Ye who is easy to talk to, today thanks to Xiao Hou Ye for inviting us to the two of us, your face, the two of us naturally want to give it." Lu Chiye responded to what Fang Xiaohou said very calmly.

not only maintained his face, but at the same time, he unceremoniously said that Wang Gongzi was a completely impolite and uneducated person.

"Master Fang Xiaohou is so generous, both of us and my husband are extremely admired, but I don't know if some people are really convinced."

"I think some people are like that, even their beards are about to be burned, and they are probably still facing all kinds of insults from our husband and wife in my heart."

Qiu Yan didn't think about giving that prince a good look.

Obviously, the wood carving prepared by Lu Chiye is extremely exquisite, even for her, a modern person who is used to seeing novelties, is extremely amazing.

This prince dares to speak so loudly, if he has the ability, he will get one out of his own!

Thinking about it this way, he spoke a little ruthlessly.

It wasn't until this prince was stimulated by the deep meaning in Qiu Yan's words that his face flushed, so he waved his hand lightly and said slowly.

"That son doesn't have to care too much, anyway, our husband and wife won't be like impolite people, please rest assured."

Fang Xiaohou Ye listened to Qiu Yan's words just now, unlike the wives of ordinary merchants, who were submissive, they only knew that they were hiding behind their husbands.

I felt that this Mrs. Lu did have a bit of a woman's meaning of not letting her eyebrows, so thinking about it, I praised her a few words.

"Mrs. Lu is really extraordinary, no wonder she was able to build Qiguang Mansion with the head of the Lu family before.

"Thank you for the praise of Xiao Hou Fang, this is what our husband and wife should do." Qiu Yan responded politely.

That prince became the first bird to be beaten, and the sons and brothers behind him naturally became much more cautious.

It can be seen that Fang Xiaohou Ye is still quite protective of Qiu Yan and his wife, so he didn't continue to hit the muzzle.

Soon, the delicacies were put on the table.

Fang Xiaohou Ye beckoned to Qiu Yan and the others, and took the initiative to say politely.

"Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, why don't you two sit next to me, today is the first time I've seen you, and I can also introduce you to my relatives and friends later."

"In this case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

Lu Chiye smiled slightly, took Qiu Yan's hand, and sat down beside Fang Xiaohou very unceremoniously.

General Wang, as a military general whom Fang Xiaohou respected very much, naturally accompanied him at his table.

Although General Wang has been walking on the battlefield all year round, his father has a knighthood no matter what he says, and he is not unfamiliar with this kind of vassal and elegant banquet.

Soon, they got together with Fang Xiaohou and them.

Just when everyone was drunk and hot, there were already people performing in the open space in front of them.

Qiu Yan raised his wine glass, and through the cover of his cuffs at this moment, he found that Liu Hui and that Zhang Gongzi were not as arrogant as when they got off the carriage just now.

Now he was cringinge, and he didn't even dare to make eye contact with the two of them.

He smiled slightly, and took the initiative to mention, "I heard that the people who came to the banquet here are all well-educated people, and our husband and wife are both half-, I don't know if we will be embarrassed later." ”

"Not really." After Fang Xiaohou Ye drank a few sips of rice wine, his face was also dyed red, and he said slowly.

"You don't have to be so nervous, there are indeed a few sons who came to the banquet today and have quite a bachelor's degree, and before you came to the capital, you had already taken the imperial examination and won the examination."

"It's just a pity that Zhuang Yuanlang has important affairs on his hands and can't come today, otherwise, it will be more lively."

"I see, then our husband and wife are really eye-opening today, and I don't know what those sons are talking about." Lu Chiye smiled and responded.

Most of the meals were used, and some maids had already taken the initiative to remove those hot dishes and re-serve some melons and fruit snacks and the like.

All the banquets held to Hou Ye, as long as the meal is eaten, everyone can play at will.

In addition, the courtyard of his house is extremely spacious, especially in the backyard of this hospitality, and there are also a lot of gazebos, tables, chairs, etc., as long as they have similar interests, they can go over to play games.

Qiu Yan and his wife were very curious about this, so they took the initiative to follow Fang Xiaohou's side.

Soon, I found that the few people that Fang Xiaohou had introduced just now were actually gathered around a table.

On the table were several figures of different sizes and colors.

Several sons were racking their brains to put together a pattern at this moment.

After Lu Chiye glanced at it, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

Isn't this the kind of fun tangram that was used in ancient times?

There is a picture next to it, and later you need to use the triangles, circles, squares, etc., on the table, to spell out the picture on the drawing.

It's just that the ancients should not have known the inner and outer corners of these figures, and it will naturally be difficult to put them together.

Qiu Yan also leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but lean next to Lu Chiye's ear and whispered.

"Isn't that easy? Those triangles are special, either right angles or equilateral, and the angles of other shapes are quite standard, so it should be easy to put together. ”

"This is natural, but no one has taken the initiative to invite, so there is no need for us to join in the fun, just wait on the side." Lu Chiye responded calmly.

"Okay, then let's move on."

With that, the two of them pretended to be interested in the tangram and continued to watch at the table.
