Poor family mother and son

Chapter 953 The Marquis Hosted a Banquet for Three Purposes

The line of Chu Qing's jaw suddenly softened, and one corner of his mouth was slightly upturned, but his eyes were still covered by the sunglasses.

But the more this is the case, the more people feel that they have got an answer, the answer from Marquis Linyang - I invite you to give you face, if you don't know your face, get out!
Welcome, it's easy to leave, choose one of the two, which one to choose?
While hesitating, a boy from the Chu family announced outside the fishnet flower wall: "Master Patrol Censor is here!"

After a while, people saw the boy from the Chu family leading the patrolling censor to the entrance of the male guests. The patrolling censor looked at the guests in surprise: "Everyone is here? Why don't you go in?"

Along the way, the inspector censor has been admiring the passage of the fishnet flower wall, and even paw and pull it with his hands to see if it is real or fake.

He didn't know why Chu Qing hosted the banquet, but since he had invited himself, he went to have a look, he was hunting for the emperor, and he must pay attention to those who the emperor pays attention to.

The inspector censor walked to the main table under the leadership of the boy from the Chu family. There were famous plaques on the table, including his and Chu Qing's.

He raised his eyebrows, thinking that this arrangement was interesting, saying it was impolite, it wasn't impolite, but it saved the mutual politeness and humility when they were seated.

You know, people have to be courteous when they enter the door. Mr. Zhang invites Mr. Li first. After three times and four times, it is finally time to take a seat.

Putting the name tag on the table is not a direct call, but a marked official title, which is not considered rude, and it saves time and trouble if you take your seat according to the number.

However, it brought back some memories of the imperial examinations, when the real number of seats was taken. Back then, what number did I get?Oh yes, "Donghanzi Twelve".

It also reminded me of the servants who led me from the flower wall passage just now. Isn’t this the same as the yamen officials holding the “approval card” to lead the candidates into the door and line up?

Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help laughing, this Marquis of Linyang, who did the same thing as the imperial examination, made people inexplicably nostalgic and nervous.

As soon as the inspector censor sat down, he smiled, which made the people who were still hesitating at the entrance "click" in their hearts.

They came to the following conclusions -

[-]. This banquet is mainly for entertaining the patrol censors, they are all accompanying guests;

[-]. The inspector censor didn't feel that the arrangement of the venue was inappropriate, and even appreciated it quite a bit. Their pickiness was ridiculous;
[-]. The inspector censor gave Linyanghou a lot of face, and it seems that Linyanghou is not as unpopular in Kyoto as they imagined;

[-]. It was said that the emperor intended to let Linyanghou's son pass the imperial examination. It should be true, and the emperor should really like Linyanghou.

The male guests looked at each other for less than a breath, and they all confirmed their eyes, regained their joy, and courted each other: "Please, Mr. Zhang! Please, Mr. Li!"

And the voice of the leader of the Chu family at the entrance also came out: "Adults, please line up and enter the venue, and take your seats according to your number!"

The banquet venue surrounded by the flower wall is not very big, and the flower wall is not soundproof. Although the entrances for male guests and female guests are separated on two sides, what happened in the venue can be heard from both sides.

Then, the entrance on the side of the female guests also broke the silence, the hairpins jingled, the skirts rustled, accompanied by the whispers of the female relatives, and they also walked towards the table.

When people came, all the ideas on the way were useless, and they went looking for seats in desperation like quails.

Chu Qing pushed the big dark glasses on the bridge of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed - the big dark glasses didn't bring any effect, not as good as the effect of patrolling the censor.

If this kind of thing was reversed and changed to Chu Qing's encounter, she would leave immediately.

And as long as she takes the lead in leaving, there will always be people who will follow. This is the tendency of people.

It's a pity that no one has the courage to be clear.

It was only when Chu Qing treated them unkindly that they realized that the other party had nothing to fear. He was a Marquis with a higher status than them.

People dared to bombard King Voss when their status was not high, but when their status is high, why not dare?

Some "Bi Mawen" should not be underestimated.

With the dishes on the table one after another, accompanied by the mouth-watering aroma, Chu Qing started the greetings and speeches before the banquet:

"Today, the Marquis of Ben hosted a banquet for three purposes;

[-]. This Marquis first came here for the purpose of opening the sea salt field, but he has never met with you formally. In order to facilitate future business affairs, we will gather here today to get acquainted with each other;
[-]. Lord Yushi also traveled hard when he came to Ganzhou, and he took a lot of time to wait for Benhou. Benhou took this opportunity to express his apology to Sir;
Of course, there are people coming from all the county yamen today, if the censor needs to know something, he can save some traveling;

[-]. I have received a lot of greetings and invitations in Japan recently, but I am busy with business and cannot receive and respond to them one by one. In response to everyone's thoughts and love for the dog, I organized a bureau like today to conduct a unified response;

For today's seafood banquet, Ben Hou invited the Chef from Cheong Wa Dae to take the lead. In addition to providing a variety of fresh seafood, he also adopted a unique cooking method. I hope you like it;

Although this is considered a family banquet, it is not in the Marquis' mansion after all, so the care may not be thoughtful. For convenience, the first round of dishes has already been served, and the dishes are not large, just for reference;
If you think there is a dish that suits your appetite, or want to taste more dishes, have you seen that there are table tables at the two restaurants, where the dishes are complete, and you can add your own dishes. "

Having said that, Chu Qing raised his wine glass: "I hope everyone eats and drinks well!"

In psychology and memory law, there is a saying of "first and last principle", which roughly means that people tend to remember what happened first and what happened last.

And things that happen in the middle are often hard to leave a deep impact on people.

Therefore, at the male guest's side, most people's eyes have already swept to the dishes on the tables on both sides, and they are surprised by this "self-help" method.

Surprised because they actually need to do it themselves, of course, they can also be done by the servants they brought, but isn't this a little poor hospitality?How could Marquis Linyang make such an arrangement?

But when I saw the dishes, I somewhat understood.

Seafood, many of them have shells, remove the shells, and you can’t eat a few bites of meat. It seems that you really need to keep filling the vegetables, and Lin Yanghou also said that if you are not in her mansion, there are probably not so many servants available, right?

Thinking about it this way, he began to despise Marquis Linyang again—after all, he came from a humble background and had no family background, otherwise, how could he not have enough servants?After all, it's the Marquis!
But the female guests were different. They brought their daughters, nieces and nieces here in order to get married to Linyanghou's family, so when they heard the third item, they forgot the previous ones, and after that I didn't listen to them either.

What does "unified response" mean?
Shouldn't the marriage be carried out in secret between the two families, and only made public when there is progress?What is a "unified response"?
All these people who came today have the same idea as me?
In the ladies' table, both the ladies and the young girls secretly looked at each other.
