Chapter 28 Liufu Birthday Banquet

With the stability of Liu Mo's position in Yunzhou, officials of Yunzhou must take this new leader if they want to sit firmly in their original position and even go further. Among them, those who originally had something to do with the Ye family were eager to make a good impression on the governor, but they couldn't find a reason to naturally please Liu Mo for a while. This time, Liu Mo's birthday gave everyone a good excuse. A few days before his birthday, gifts were constantly sent to the Liu family's mansion.

On October 15, Liu Mo's birthday, countless large and small officials brought gifts to congratulate him. Most of them have never received an invitation from the Liu family and can't enter the door at all, but these people only want to give gifts to let Lord Liu know that his heart is very satisfied. Therefore, on this day, the door of the Liu family can really be described as a doorlike. Those subordinates can't wait to have three heads and six arms to receive these constantly emerging Yunzhou officials and local rich businessmen.

For good, the Liu family is a big family and has seen the world, and this battle can't scare them. Under the unified dispatch of Mr. Liu, everything was in order before the gate. Those who gave birthday gifts could get a few words of thanks and leave their names. This practice made these people feel worthwhile to visit although they could not see Liu Mo himself.

In a while, the servants in front of the Liu family took a large account book full of names into the house, and Liu took it and casually put it aside. At this time, Liu Kaiyang came over with a calm face. He was copying the rules of the Liu family last night and early this morning. He was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk, but he couldn't go out because of Liu Mo's words, so he had to walk around the house depressed. Seeing that people kept sending gifts and lists here, he wandered around to Liu's yard in a moment of curiosity.

"Uncle Seven, are you really busy here?" Seeing that Liu was arranging people to sort out various gifts, Liu Kaiyang said. Liu Kaiyang was still very grateful to the uncle who helped him speak at that time.

"It's the opening sun!" Liu laughed, put aside the things in his hand, and greeted him to sit down and talk.

Liu Kaiyang looked at the dazzling gifts curiously and said, "Uncle Seven, I didn't expect that my father's 53rd birthday this year was much more lively than his fiftieth birthday."

"That's natural. The head of the family is now different from the past. Some of the shepherds in a place are quite alike. How can they be the same as in the past?" Liu explained with a smile that because the other party was his descendant, there was nothing he could not say.

Liu Kaiyang was also a little excited when he heard the words. He casually opened the account book and read it carefully. After a long time, he didn't understand: "Uncle Seven, why are these people giving so different gifts? Some of them are worth nearly 1,000 taels, and some are only sent some ordinary calligraphy and paintings. How can these gifts be so embarrassing?"

Seeing that his nephew began to care about this kind of social matter, Liu also patiently explained to him: "You are wrong. Among these gift-giving people, they have a deeper friendship with the head of the family, and many of them are his cronies."

"What?" Liu Kaiyang shook his head and expressed disbelief: "How can it be that the less friendship the better?"

"This is the rule in the officialdom. Those who have a good relationship with the head of the family, because they have been the head of the family for a long time, naturally do not have to deliberately flab the family. On the contrary, those who sent generous gifts once had a quarrel with the owner, and now they want to repair it, and the lightness of it is clear at a glance.

"It turns out that there is still this. But since these people once had a holiday with their father, why should we treat them politely now? Liu Kaiyang asked puzzledly.

"There are no friends and enemies in this officialdom. As long as you do well, those enemies will become your allies in two days. And once you lose your power, your past friends will also step on you, and the Ye family will be an example. So the owner did this to avoid offending people and not to leave any hidden dangers in the dark.

Liu Kaiyang is also a son of the family. Although he doesn't pay much attention to the family, he still understands everything. After a little thought, he said, "Since these people can't be offended, and Uncle Seven, you are so busy, let's leave this matter of receiving visitors to your little nephew."

Liu was still very gratified by his self-recommendation, so he nodded and agreed, and said in detail some etiquette that needed to be paid attention to, and then ordered his cronies around him to take him to the door to welcome the guests. Looking at Liu Kaiyang so sensible, Liu couldn't help smiling, which is also a good thing for the future of the Liu family.

After welcoming several groups of guests in front of the door, Liu Kaiyang was a little tired. No matter which visitor he saw, he had to say a few words and greet them with a smile. This is really not something that he, a young man can stick to. But when he thought of Liu's words just now, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

After persisting for more than an hour, the sky became a little dark, and the guests who should come were almost there. Just as Liu Kaiyang turned around and was about to enter, another person came to Liu's house not far away, which made Liu Kaiyang have to smile and wait for the other party to come forward. But when the visitor really appeared in front of him, Liu Kaiyang's face suddenly became gloomy.

It's Xu Jinghong who came. Because he was not as good as other guests, he didn't want to come when there were many people. In addition, he found that his clothes were really worn out and difficult to get on the table, so he simply made a set in a shop in the city. Seeing that the time was almost up, he came here. He didn't want to see the prince yesterday as soon as he arrived at the door of the Liu family.

"Didn't they guess my identity and deliberately waited for me here today and want to trouble me?" Xu Jinghong thought doubtfully, but he still walked to Liu Kaiyang and arched his hand and said, "The little man Xu Jinghong came to celebrate Lord Liu's birthday and prepared a little gift. I hope your government can accept it." With that, he handed over the birthday star carved by the white jade.

When he saw the jade carving, Liu Kaiyang's face was even worse. He unconsciously thought of what happened in front of the jade store yesterday. Suddenly, he threw aside some of Liu's warnings and groaned coldly, "What identity are you? How dare you come to my Liu family! And where did you steal this gift from? Come on, take down this sneaky guy!"

The household who was helping to pick up the gift and registered his name saw that his young master had sent a message, naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately rushed up and surrounded Xu Jinghong in the middle. Unfortunately, today is a festive day. These people don't have any weapons at hand, otherwise they would have started, but this movement has been big enough.

Xu Jinghong looked at the servants of the Liu family and said with a smile, "Is there any misunderstanding between us? Why did the Liu family treat the visiting guests with this attitude?"

"Precious guest? I think you are just a little man who came to When Liu Kaiyang saw the valuable jade sculpture I held in Xu Jinghong's hand, he thought of what Mr. Liu had just said: "Those who gave generous gifts have had a holiday with the owner, and now they want to repair it..." This is obviously here to bragize their own family. Thinking that he was insulted by such a person yesterday, which made Liu Kaiyang even more angry, he laughed again and said, "I can't even enter the gate. What kind of distinguished guest!" The anger in his heart has made Liu Kaiyang forget the reminder just now and just want to get out of this anger.

Seeing that their young master said so, those diners naturally became bolder and scolded them for going to do it. Xu Jinghong still had no intention of doing it, but said, "I didn't expect the Liu family to be so arrogant. It's really chilling! This invitation was handed to me by the people in your house. Since you don't allow me to enter the door, please return it to Liu Yuanliu Qiye. With that, he handed the invitation from his sleeve to the nearest family.

The bright red gilding invitation, with Liu Mo's name written on it, was also a few words, and his face changed at a glance. This is one of the 50 invitations sent by myself, and the weight is not light. I offended such a distinguished guest this time, which is really a big mistake.

After Xu Jinghong handed over the invitation, he wanted to turn around and leave. At this time, a greeting came from the door: "Brother Xu, wait a minute, this is just a misunderstanding..." But Mr. Liu rushed out in time.

Just now, something went wrong in front of the door, and the clever family rushed in and reported to Liu, who was in charge of everything. As soon as Mr. Liu heard that he was going to do it, he naturally did not dare to slack off. He rushed to the door, but when he saw Xu Jinghong leaving, he hurriedly greeted him.

"I've met Master Liu Qi!" In fact, Xu Jinghong did not mean to leave like this. He only saw Liu Yuan coming out from afar to make such a gesture in order to use the other party's momentum to suppress Liu Kaiyang. Sure enough, as soon as Liu Kaiyang heard Liu's words, his face changed even more, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mr. Liu strode forward and grabbed Xu Jinghong's hand and said, "You are the guest that the owner personally ordered to invite. How can you leave?"

"But..." Xu Jinghong's eyes fell on Liu Kaiyang, who was already sinking like water: "There is some misunderstanding between me and Mr. Liu. I'm afraid that going in will make him unhappy."

"Well, it's just some small festivals among young people. What is it? The owner already knew about this and didn't care about it. Why should Brother Xu care about it? While talking, Mr. Liu began to pull Xu Jinghong in. Seeing this, the family also dispersed, leaving Liu Kaiyang alone looking at all this angrily and shockedly. He really didn't expect that this teenager, who was several years younger than him, would be so valued by his father. What kind of person is this?
