Chapter 531 The Children's Table [Thank You! Thank You Again! I Owe You 40k]
Cheng Guogongfu,
At the stable,
The shed walls collapsed,
A mess,
The well water poured out to put out the fire formed a stream and flowed everywhere.
Near the wall, tung oil spattered everywhere, igniting many places, and traces of scorch after the fire could be seen everywhere.
door direction,
There was an officer wearing the military uniform of the Submersible Fire Brigade, who was walking near the horse stable accompanied by the steward of the Feng family.
Behind the two men were followed by a dozen pawns, holding many fire-fighting tools such as ladders, saws, and thick ropes on their shoulders.
"Administrator Li, please come this way."
The steward of the Feng family stretched out his hand and said.
The commander of the latent fire team smiled quickly and nodded.
Arriving near the stable, Officer Li stepped on the sewage on the ground and started to investigate.
"Sniff."
Officer Li sniffed and said, "Is the tung oil burning?"
The steward of the Feng family nodded with some fear.
Officer Li looked down at the sewage flowing across the ground again and said, "Manager Ye, this house uses a lot of water!"
The steward of the Feng family was a little scared and said: "Thanks to the kindness of the few gentlemen who came to visit today, they rushed over to help when they saw the fire! If it weren't for one of the brothers who was very strong, he could carry water so fast that it would have almost caused a disaster!"
A look of understanding appeared on Official Li's face and he said, "No wonder! Just now, when the pawns under the villain stood on the fire watch tower and saw the size of the smoke, they knew something big was going on!"
Looking at the buildings around him, the prison officer sighed: "Fortunately, fortunately it didn't burn down."
Near the Duke Cheng's Mansion, all the high-ranking officials of the Zhou Dynasty lived. Ninety percent of the surrounding areas are made of wooden buildings. If the fire is strong, sparks will fly randomly, and the consequences will be disastrous.
The men of Yaiguanhe must rush to put out the fire. Fire and water are ruthless, and big trouble will happen if they are not careful.
"Yes!" said the Feng family manager.
After chatting with the steward of the Feng family, he also led several young men who were present to inquire.
After Inspector Li investigated for a while, he said to the Feng family steward:
"Guanshi Ye, you see, the frightened horse brought down the stable and the wall, and there were some benefits."
"That is, the collapsed roof was covered with soil. After the roof fell to the ground, it covered a piece of ground. There happened to be a lot of burning tung oil spilled there, which indirectly made the fire much smaller!"
"If this pool of tung oil burns, it will never be extinguished that easily."
The Feng family steward nodded repeatedly.
Officer Li looked around again, and then focused on the piles of fodder next to the wall.
After waving to his subordinates behind him, Officer Li shouted: "Come on, bring the ladder over here!"
"yes!"
soon,
A hidden fire soldier came over carrying a bamboo ladder.
"Put it on the north wall!"
Manager Ye of the Feng family on the side looked at Admin Li who was climbing the ladder up the wall, and said at the side: "Admin Li, we also suspect that these sparks came from the side."
"Um."
Nodding, Admiral Li went up to the wall, looked at the other side of the wall and frowned.
While holding on to the ladder and heading back down, Officer Li said: "Manager Ye, I remember that the house uses silver bone charcoal, right?"
"The ones used outside are not silver bone charcoal, just ordinary charcoal."
"Normally, there won't be any sparks in this charcoal that can be blown so high and float over the wall to this side."
Talking
As Officer Li glanced around, his movement down the bamboo ladder suddenly stopped.
After descending another step of the ladder, Admiral Li leaned forward and picked up a dark piece of something with his fingers from above the pile of forage that was burnt black and full of water stains.
"Administrator Li, what is that?!" The steward of the Feng family asked in surprise, his eyes widening.
"call."
Admiral Li blew on the thing in his hand and said, "Charcoal."
"Charcoal? How could such a piece of charcoal come here? How big is it!"
The steward of the Feng family and Officer Li looked at each other and did not continue.
If the wind can't blow the charcoal, someone will throw it here.
What happened in the martial arts arena,
It did not affect the Feng family's banquet today.
Feng’s front yard,
There were maids carrying trays, walking in an endless stream from the large kitchen to the various courtyards.
In the reception hall,
The old Duke Cheng was too old to accompany guests here. The person sitting in chief was the son of Duke Cheng, who was older than Gu Yankai.
Yongyi Hou Xu Minghua stood at the table, holding a wine cup in both hands, and with a smile on his face, he showed the bottom of the cup to Prince Cheng Guo who was standing above him.
The standing Crown Prince Cheng Guo also politely showed the bottom of his cup, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Xu Hou, please sit down."
While they were talking, a female envoy from the Feng family wanted to come forward to pour some wine, but was rejected by Prince Cheng.
After filling up the wine himself again, Prince Cheng Guo held the wine cup in both hands and raised his glass to Gu Yan beside Xu Minghua:
"Gu Hou, please forgive me for the poor reception today. Erlang is also tired today. He hasn't even eaten my food yet, yet he exerts so much effort."
Gu Yankai stood up, raised his glass with a smile and said: "Brother Feng, what are you talking about? I looked at the few boys who helped put out the fire today, and they seemed to be quite unsatisfied! These boys are as energetic as calves! "
Several princes present at the table chuckled.
"please."
"please."
The two clinked glasses from a distance, finished their drinks, and then flashed the bottom of the glasses.
After toasting a round of wine, Prince Chengguo burped and sat back on his chair. He waved to the female envoy beside him and said, "Go and call Zi Xun over."
The female envoy should leave accordingly.
On the other side of the side room,
Most of those sitting there were married people such as Feng Zixun of the Feng family, Fu Boran of Changxing Boran, Han Jiyun of Zhennan, Xu Zaizhang, Rongxian, etc.
Some of the people here looked younger than Xu Zaijing.
When the fire broke out, they were not playing Cuju like Rong Xian. Instead, they were in the hall with their father and brother, listening to the Dukes and Marquises talking about important matters in the court.
But at this time, there were few people speaking at the table. They were all looking at the person who was speaking with concentration.
This person is Feng Zixun who came back from Beizhou.
"Thanks to my wife for repairing the secret room left by the previous dynasty, so that I can have a hiding place, otherwise."
Listening to Feng Zixun's somewhat frightened words,
Han Jiyun of the Zhennan Hou family on the side nodded and said: "Beizhou was an important town in Hebei during the previous dynasty. Many aristocratic families have lived there for generations, so there is such a large secret room."
"Cumulus is right!"
"Brother Zi Xun, what happens next? What happened when the younger brothers of the Xu family and the Gu family killed the thieves in Beizhou?"
Fu Boran, who was studying and becoming an official, raised his wine cup and asked.
Han Jiyun also looked at Feng Zixun curiously.
Feng Zixun raised the wine cup, clinked the glasses and drank from the distance. He looked at Zai Zhang, who was looking at him with a smile, and said in a melancholy tone: "Sanlang, I'm not telling you that it's a pity for our two younger brothers to study."
Just when I was about to continue speaking,
The female envoy of the Feng family came over, bowed to everyone and said, "Young Master, the Crown Prince asked you to come over."
Feng Zixun nodded, stood up, cupped his hands towards everyone at the table and said, "Brothers, wait a moment."
Watching the ‘keynote speaker’ leave,
Several other people turned to look at Zai Zhang.
Zai Zhang smiled and waved his hand and said, "As you all know, with my mother here, what Xiao Wu said at home is not very clear. We'd better wait until Zi Xun comes back."
In another room,
The people sitting at this table were unmarried people, counted as children, ranging in age from eight to twenty years old.
Among them was Lu Zezong, the adopted brother of Xu Zaijing and the eldest son of Lian Guogong family.
At this time, Lu Zezong was sitting next to Xu Zaijing, who had changed his clothes and boots. He did not look at Xu Zaijing, who was filling him with wine, but looked at the child of the Yao family, Duke of Guizhou, who was about ten years old not far away with a worried look.
When the wine glass was about to be filled, Lu Zezong, who noticed it, quickly reached out to hold the wine glass and smiled at Xu Zaijing.
And Gu Tingye, who was sitting next to the child of the Duke of Guizhou, held up his own wine cup and said:
"Shiro Shiro, Shiro Yao, brother, I won't take advantage of you. If you take a sip, brother, I will take a drink!"
Seeing the child's hesitation, Gu Tingye continued to the east coast: "If you dare to have a drink, I will tell you about my experience in Beizhou City. How was it?"
Qi Heng on the side said: "Second uncle, little brother Yao is too young, so stop teasing him!"
Gu Tingye waved his hand to signal Qi Heng not to speak, and then continued: "I mean, Shiro Fourteen, are you afraid?"
As he said that, Gu Tingye looked at everyone at the table mischievously, and winked at Lu Zezong, signaling him to start a boo.
Xu Zaijing sighed and looked at the child of the Yao family who was about to speak.
After the child from the Yao family looked at Xu Zaijing, he stood up on the chair, held up the wine cup and said: "Brother Gu Er, you and Brother Xu Wu fought for the country together in Beizhou. This cup of wine is what I should give you. !”
With that said, the young 14th son of the Yao family raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"This is you. Me."
Gu Tingye looked at Yao Shilang, whose face was huddled together after drinking, and was speechless for a moment.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
"The gap, this is the gap between behavior and speech!"
Xu Zaijing shook his head and tutted.
Qi Heng couldn't help but pursed his lips with a smile.
After Xu Zaijing finished speaking, before Gu Tingye could speak, he glanced at the grass behind him and said, "Qingcao, go get a big bowl."
"Green grass, take one more." Gu Tingye shouted from behind.
Qingcao smiled and bowed, and as soon as he took a few steps outside, a female envoy from the Feng family came forward to ask.
Soon, Qingcao came over with several silver bows.
Xu Zaijing held up a large silver wine bowl with a handle, looked at the child of the Yao family and said, "Brother Yao Fourteen, please come."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Gu Tingye, who was on the side, hurriedly raised the bowl and said with a smile: "Yao Shisi, you kid can't tell, he is not big, but he can talk."
Yao Shilang smiled and scratched the back of his head.
When Gu Tingye was talking, Xu Zaijing had already lit up his wine bowl to indicate that he had finished drinking.
Seeing this, Gu Tingye hurriedly finished his drink and opened his wine bowl like Xu Zaijing.
After Gu Tingye finished his drink, the child of the Duke of Guizhou bowed his hands and sat back down.
Qi Heng on the side smiled, quickly filled himself up with wine, stood up eagerly with the wine cup in hand, and said: "Second Uncle Gu, Brother Jing, me."
"Why!"
Gu Tingye stood up and stopped Qi Heng, turned around and said, "Brother Heng, give him a bigger bowl!"
Looking at the large silver wine bowl handed over and Qi Heng's somewhat stunned expression, several children present burst into laughter.
Later, the 14th Prince of the Guizhou Kingdom started to make a gesture, and several children who were not doing errands toasted Gu Tingye and Xu Zaijing with wine or drinks.
This made Gu Tingye's smile never stop.
And Xu Zaijing played Cuju and trained frightened horses in the morning, and also helped put out the fire.
Physical strength is consumed, and the Feng family's chef's skills are excellent, so Xu Zaijing kept moving his chopsticks while eating and drinking.
At this time,
The Duke of Guizhou, Yao Shilang, came close to Lu Zezong, and the two children, who were about the same age, whispered a few words.
"Sworn brother."
"Huh?"
Xu Zaijing's bulging cheeks kept moving, and he raised his chin to signal Lu Zezong to speak.
"Sworn brother, Jushiro said that I have something to ask you."
Xu Zaijing nodded a few times, took a sip of food, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Ask me."
"Brother Xu Wu, can I go and touch your little Liju in the afternoon?" Yao Shilang said.
"What's not possible?" Xu Zaijing smiled.
Lu Zezong also smiled.
Yao Shilang nodded and continued: "Oh! Is that little Liju the descendant of the horse given to Brother Xu Wu when he was a child?"
"right!"
"oh"
Then, Yao Shilang looked at Xu Zaijing, who was about to drink the wine, rolled his eyes and said: "The little Liju is so tall and strong, does he eat a lot? I heard from the grandmother next to me that today he can eat The other horses were knocked away!"
Xu Zaijing put the silver bowl containing the drink to his mouth and nodded: "It eats a lot! But on weekdays, it is fed by my Alan and Xun Shu."
"Oh, then. Brother Xu Wu, what color do you like?"
"Ahem!"
Hearing this,
Gu Tingye, who was eating and watching the conversation between the two, started coughing when he was distracted.
Xu Zaijing also quickly swallowed the drink in his mouth before he coughed.
"Color? Shiro Shiro, why are you asking this?" Xu Zaijing looked at the child in front of him and asked.
Yao Shishi glanced at Lu Zezong slightly panicked and said:
"I. I just like Brother Xu Wu and Brother Gu. I want to know what colors they like to wear. I will wear them like this in the future!"
On the table, several other children, including kid-sized kids, looked at Yao Shiro who was speaking with admiration.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Gu Tingye looked sideways at Yao Shilang, with an expression on his face that said, "I know everything you think."
Coming closer to Yao Shilang, Gu Tingye said: "Don't you mean it for you?"
Listening to what Gu Tingye was about to say,
"cough!"
Xu Zaijing coughed.
Gu Tingye turned his head and glanced at Xu Zaijing in confusion. Seeing Xu Zaijing shaking his head slightly, Gu Tingye thought for a while and said with clarity in his eyes:
"Shouldn't you ask me first?"
"Oh! Then Brother Gu Er, what color do you like?"
"pink!"
Gu Tingye said categorically,
Yao Shilang looked at Xu Zaijing again.
"Light green, bright yellow and purple."
After Xu Zaijing finished speaking,
"oh"
All the children at the table nodded.
Lu Zezong had some doubts in his eyes, because Yao Shilang and several other boys of similar age had happy looks in their eyes, as if they had completed some errand.
Soon, these children left the table as an excuse to change their clothes.
backyard,
Several tables were also set up for the ladies and ladies.
There were voices, chuckles, and the clinking of dishes and chopsticks.
Feng's parents-in-law and his daughter-in-law laughed along with him at the table and apologized countless times.
The mother, the steward of the Feng family, came to the Feng family’s daughter-in-law with a serious face.
After the Feng parents-in-law put down the wine cup, the Feng family's mother whispered into the ears of the Feng parents-in-law: "Madam, the security officer of the submersible team said yes."
"My slave has asked, and in the meantime..."
Listening to the words of the mother in charge, Feng's wife took a deep breath, and then did not curse or look somewhere to let others know the clues. .
"Okay, I understand."
Among the ladies and ladies who are also sitting at this table,
Princess Pingning thoughtfully picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up the vegetables.
Mrs. Wu, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, moved her eyes, then she leaned into Sun's ear and said, "Let's see what the Feng family found out."
Mrs. Sun nodded slightly, raised her glass and touched it with Madam Wu, saying, "Why haven't I seen your Liulang today?"
Mrs. Wu shook her head and said: "His best friend's birthday was today and he didn't come."
At this time,
The banquet room where unmarried girls live,
Several young female envoys walked in quickly and spoke in the ears of several noble ladies.
The fifth lady of the Zhang family looked at these little envoys in confusion.
After waiting for others to finish speaking,
The fifth lady of the Zhang family held a drink and came to a related noble girl and said, "Sister Yao family, what's wrong? I see that the envoy is not from the fourteenth brother's side?"
Chai Zhengzheng, the new-looking Rong Feiyan, and Gu Tingyi who were also on the table also looked over in confusion.
"Ah? Nothing happened"
After the fifth lady of the Zhang family pressed her with a wicked smile, the girl from the Yao family whispered a few words to her.
Wu Niang returned to her seat.
Looking at Chai Zhengzheng, Gu Tingyi and Rong Feiyan who were confused, she muttered something in a low voice.
Rong Feiyan and Chai Zhengzheng's eyes lit up.
Gu Tingyi whispered with some confusion: "My brother and Brother Jing like these colors, do you still have to ask? Grandma Chang knows it all."
"You also know?" Chai Zhengzheng looked at Gu Tingyi and asked.
"yes!"
