"Lord, Mrs.
Ren's maid is named Ying'er, her husband's surname is Hu, and she lives in Nancheng District.
"Nancheng District" Liu Qi was slightly stunned, "This person is a wealthy businessman's family" "No, I just opened a pancake shop to support my family."
"Pancake" Liu Qi stroked his beard with one hand, "How does this warbler get acquainted with him" "But he was a fellow villager in Xuzhou in the past."
In Liu Qi's memory, in the first battle of Huaibei, the captive Huaibei people were not assigned to Moling City for resettlement.
"After General Ziyi captured Guangling, many people went south by ferry, and there were one or two thousand households that flowed into Moling City over the years."
Liu Qi's eyes narrowed, "There are now 100,000 households in Moling City, and it is not surprising that there are thousands more. ” Following the crowded flow of people on the long street, Liu Qi's footsteps were chasing the carriage and horse, and Liu Qi on his side wanted to speak and stopped, after several Liu families went to Wu Wei to take up their posts, he became Liu Qi's personal guard, taking care of Liu Qi's daily meals on weekdays, and protecting his travel safety, all of which were all tied to him, and he couldn't find out what his master was thinking.
"Everyone in the world hears that North Cao and South Liu are all good wives" Follow into the Nancheng District, "Hu Mansion" is just a two-entry courtyard, in the sedan chair door, gongs and drums, Liu Qi has been standing by the door.
Looking at the shadow that followed the bride into the house, the crowd around was eager to try.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of great joy for my host, but the mansion is narrow, and only twenty-five tables of wine banquets are prepared.
"If you can't put it in the yard, you can put it outside."
"That's right, the corner is a restaurant, why not set up a banquet outside" Liu Qi smiled, he pointed to the people around him, "These people are afraid that they remember the scene of the banquet in the city when my son was one year old." ” Liu Qifu laughed, "The lord said that he laughed, how can the ordinary people's house be comparable to the people and scholars who came to the Hou Mansion for the name of Mrs.
Ren outside this mansion, I am afraid that it will take hundreds of tables to put it down, and the Hu Mansion that crosses these two courtyards is afraid that there is no such money." ” As soon as the words fell, a maid walked out of the door, facing the people in front of the door, only to hear her coquettish voice: "My lady has a life, specially chartered the corner restaurant, set up fifty tables, if you are willing to drink a glass of wine, you can turn to the restaurant." ” Liu Qi smiled and glanced at Liu Qi beside him, the latter's cheeks were slightly red, and he was slapped in the face not long after the words fell.
In the crowd, a gentleman stepped forward, "Woman, dare to ask the bride and lady if they will go to the restaurant" "Yes, we have come to congratulate the bride and the lady to toast."
"Yes, yes, I'm here this time, but I'm here to prepare a congratulatory gift."
For a while, a group of people surrounding the gate of the mansion also cheered along with the scholars in Confucian shirts.
"These people."
Liu Qi gritted his teeth slightly, "My lord, I ordered the city patrol sergeant to disperse these guys." ” Liu Qi shook his head slightly, "Don't pay attention to it, and see how the master responds." ” "Whoa."
The maid's face turned red, and she was coaxed by the crowd, and as soon as she stomped her foot, she turned and walked into the house.
After a while, an old woman walked out of the door, faced everyone, and bowed slightly, "My wife has a life, and the bride will go to the restaurant with Hu Shan to toast the distinguished guests who came to congratulate you. ” "Treat him Hu Shan but the street cake seller, we are all scholars who came to Daoxi, and we also have fame, so please ask my wife to come out and see it."
"In our hands, there are all precious things, even the silver jewelry produced by Yuzhang is also there, in order to see the lady's side."
Liu Qi's face sank, and he was about to order the guards behind him to step forward, when he saw the old woman's face pulled, and he reprimanded in a cold voice: "Presumptuous, what kind of identity will my wife be coerced by you, you and other gentlemen, if you dare to leave your name, when my wife goes to the Hou Mansion to visit Mrs.
Lu in the future, you can mention it, I don't know, you can dare."
Hearing this, many scholars turned pale.
They almost forgot that Mrs.
Ren, who had a lot of care for her on weekdays, was now pregnant, and she was one of the most favored ladies in the Marquis Wu's mansion.
However, the old woman is obviously also very self-contained, and she did not make further difficulties, showing the prestige of the master's family, once is enough, the team of scholars in front of her is the mainstay of Jiangdong in the future, how can she offend them all "Ladies and gentlemen, the restaurant has been fully contracted, if you have any wishes, please go with the old man."
Most of the people stranded on the streets dispersed, except for a small number of scholars who were choked and couldn't pull down their children, and many of them went to the restaurant.
After a while, a personal guard returned to Liu Qi's side, "Lord, the restaurant has three floors, the ground floor is for the peddlers' pawns, the second floor is the neighborhood, and the third floor is the scholar.
Most of those scholars cared about their faces, and the congratulatory gifts they gave were not cheap. ” The cold light in Liu Qi's eyes flashed, "It's still a good acquaintance, but the appearance of those people can be remembered." ” "Guards have been sent to verify their identities through the Academy."
Liu Qi put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door of the mansion, "Let's go, let's go to Hufu to ask for a cup of wine, and let Liu see the wine banquet of this ordinary family." ” "Whoa."
Liu Qi was a little apprehensive in his heart, but fortunately, he had arranged a few tables of guards in advance to pretend to be a neighbor and blend in.
At the time of entry, the steward was about to step forward to ask, and behind Liu Qi, his own guards stepped forward, "The lord of my family is Maocai of Guangling County, and I am here to fulfill the friendship of my fellow villagers." ” Without waiting for the stunned and puzzled steward to ask, the guard took the initiative to order the entourage behind him to present congratulatory gifts.
"Guangling Maocai Qi Liu, a pair of silver hairpins, a white jade bracelet, 100,000 yuan, for the newlywed gift of fellow villager Hushan."
Leaving the steward with a sluggish face, the guard patted him on the shoulder, passed by him, and walked into the door.
Inside the gate of the mansion, there was a lively scene, in the entire courtyard, twenty-five tables of wine banquets were placed side by side, and after Liu Qi entered, a personal guard immediately got up, pretending to be enthusiastic and sat down in the crowd.
"I never thought that now the wedding banquets in Moling City use this table and chairs."
Liu Qi sat on the barstool, looking at the dishes and chopsticks on the table, with some surprise in his eyes.
"This table and chair was first rewarded by the lord to the officials in the house, and was used by the academies in Jiangdong, and then was sought after by the rich and wealthy in the states, and other counties and counties may not have such a scene, but in the city of Moling, but because of the good of the lord, the people are vying to buy it, and now the house of the ordinary trader and pawn, or the home of the merchant family, when the guests are entertained, if there is no such table and chair, it is rude and lazy."
Liu Qi replied with a smile
