(20)

The next time for everyone in Yuyi Academy to meet with the He Ba brothers and sisters is the next day when Zhao Kuo will hold the coronation ceremony.But before that, the grand banquet prepared by the whole Zhao family for Zhao Kuo was also something people talked about.

On that day, for the sake of solemnity, a long street in front of the Zhao Mansion was hung with red lanterns symbolizing auspiciousness.

Some people think that this is the Zhao family showing off their power, but it is not the case. It is the actions of the merchants along the street to curry favor with the Zhao family.In addition, they did not hesitate to suspend business early, just to go to the Zhao family's mansion to toast a glass of wine and say congratulations.

Jade craftsmen put down their chisels, tailors put down their scissors, wine merchants, tea merchants, and spice merchants put down their sales and business. They all put on the most expensive brocade clothes, brought the most special gifts, and carried the most pious hearts. Climb up the stone steps leading to Zhao Mansion.

Among them, most of them have never received a formal invitation, so they are not qualified to participate in the banquet.Even so, it didn't stop them from showing their dedication.

Since the morning of this day, there has been an endless stream of visitors. Some are newcomers and want to say hello to the rich man in Yuyi Town; some are former political enemies and want to reconcile with the Zhao family; I am in prison myself, and I want help from the Zhao family.

All of a sudden, Zhao's Mansion was like a temple full of pilgrims: here people come and go, day and night, inside and outside the door, even though it's all about pushing cups and changing cups, the hospitality is hard to turn down, but everyone knows their shame and salutes, and there will be no trouble. Make a joke.

It wasn't until dusk approached, when the twilight was approaching, and the birthday banquet was about to begin, that the real guests arrived with their invitations, and they entered and took their seats one by one.

The person in charge divides the banquet into three major seats, which are divided into chairmen, guest seats, and women's seats.Among them, the chairman is the representative of each faction, mainly including representatives of soldiers, retainers, merchants, etc.; the guest seats are the disciples with unique skills under the Zhao family. of relatives.

After a long absence, Su Qing and Huyan finally reunited at this banquet.They laughed and talked about interesting things in life, but never mentioned the approaching war.

"Brother Tiger Eye, has Junior Sister Ling's condition improved recently? If you need another prescription from my father Tao, you can open it at any time!"

"Junior Sister has been insane for a long time, and I have already planned for her to never recover. Fortunately, Young Master Bai gave me three disciples, which made it easier for me to take care of Junior Sister."

"You don't have to be polite to everyone in Yuyi Academy, everyone, you don't even know each other. Hahaha!"

But soon, the Tuoba brothers who led the troops on the front line and dealt with the enemy for a long time happened to arrive.As soon as the two of them sat down, they ate wine and meat in big mouthfuls, feeling that life in the army was hard.

"Brother, these days I spend more time sitting on a horse than standing on the ground. The days are too hard!" The fat black man Tuoba Gun is now haggard and thin, with darker complexion, only his simple and honest face remains the same.

"Abang, now Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao are inviting us to a banquet, isn't he just rewarding us?" Tuoba Chen's appearance didn't seem to have changed much, he was still the thin and tall Xianbei warrior, and he continued: "Stop complaining, eat well, and when the war is over, we'll find a place to raise horses and herd sheep in peace!"

When Tiger Eye heard the word "war", his expression suddenly sank.Following the sound, he had to meet an old colleague, he just got up to greet each other, and respectfully said: "Brother Tuoba, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been recently?"

"Huh?" Tuoba looked back, thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "Is it the former camp instructor, Lord Tiger Eye?"

Tiger Eye then asked: "Brother Tuoba, how is the situation on the Western Front?"

Tuoba said: "It's still the same. People from Wuchuan Town harass the herdsmen and merchants passing through Yuyi Town day and night. We are running around to protect the people, exhausted, alas! Being controlled by others everywhere is of no use at all."

Tiger Eye sighed again, thanked Tuoba, then returned to his seat, and asked Su Qing, "Brother Su, according to the latest battle situation, the main force of Wuchuan Town will move from the north to the south, and then the northern front may become the main battlefield. According to the current situation, the war may start at any time..."

"Brother Huyan, you don't have to beat around the bush when you have something to say." Su Qing pretended to smile relaxedly, aiming to make Huyan not worry.

"My junior sister, can I ask Brother Su... Please ask Yuyi Academy to take care of you." Huyan spoke in a very light tone and was very cautious. She is already extremely difficult, I am afraid that when the time comes to war, I..."

"Okay!" Su Qing said decisively: "Brother Tiger Eye, don't worry, even if I don't like it, Brother Bai will definitely help."

As soon as the words fell, Baifeng heard that Brother Tuoba had also come to meet the appointment, Xunsheng rushed to greet him from outside the door, Su Qing took the opportunity to explain Tiger Eye's request to Bai Feng, Bai Feng really responded with a smile: "Such a small matter, Tiger Eye Brother, why bother to hide it, after the war is over, I am still waiting for you to show your real skills to fight!"

After the young swordsman finished speaking, he immediately informed Su Qing, saying: "Brother Su, I'm afraid I can't go back as soon as possible for this evening banquet, and I entrust the safety of Yan'er and the others to Your Excellency."

"Okay, you can just serve Young Master Zhao!" Su Qing joked, "I will explain to Miss Murong for you, hehe!"

Bai Feng shook his head, with a smile on his face, and went back to the chairman to take his seat.

After a while, the head of the family, Zhao Wei, sat upright and raised wine, toasted the guest of honor, and then went to the ancestors' tablets to offer incense and pray for blessings, and then asked the eldest son Zhao Kuo to kneel down and knock down three times to the ancestor's ancestral hall, and finally held the crown. Li, for Zhao Kuo took the word "nangzhi".

"Nangzhi, from the beginning of tonight, you will grow up. From now on, it's time for this Nuo Da Zhao family to be passed on to you..." Zhao Wei couldn't help but burst into tears as he spoke, so that he couldn't speak.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo already had the style of the head of the family at this time. He raised a glass to invite the guests on behalf of his father, and he was generous and unremitting, and officially announced the start of the banquet.It was said that the young man stood outside the door and saw the situation, he also knocked on the gongs and drums, and shouted: "The birthday feast begins!"

So far, the three banquets have been presented with dance music, wine glasses are raised, and laughter continues.

However, not long after the coronation ceremony, three people without invitation cards suddenly came to visit outside the mansion. Although the servants outside the door tried to obstruct them, they were still no match for the other party's forceful entry.

"Ouch!" A whimper came as the door was knocked open.

"How can Mr. Zhao not invite me to such a grand banquet?"

An arrogant man slowly appeared in front of the guests, but he had blond hair and beard, and he was followed by followers—one was dressed as a Han Chinese, holding a beautifully packaged gift; the other was also blond, but a girl, holding Also holding a gift.

"Heba clan of Wuchuan town?" Bai Feng was shocked, and was the first to stand out from the chairman to confront the uninvited guest outside the door.
