Chapter 14, Gongsun Guest

When Gongsun's motorcade marched along the Beiguoting Stone Road, most of the people around Beiguoting had a look. Looking at the magnificent children of the ancestral family surrounded by a team of luxurious motorcade, such solemn scenes can not be seen every day. Several fathers of the ancestral family gathered at the main gate of the manor to wait for greeting. In addition to Gongsun Zhi and Chun Yupei, there were also some accompanying relatives, and even seven or eight young people of the same generation as Zu Zhao.

Stopped the carriage in front of the gate, and Zu Zhao subconsciously paid attention to the people on the second carriage. The carriage was boarded by three masters and servants, a young man who was only twelve or three years old, and the other two were close maids. The little man was dressed in brocade pleats, and the scarf with his hair was also brocade, white and tender, slightly one or two points of baby fat. A pair of big black eyes seemed to be curious about everything, and his long eyelashes were like a girl.

The little prince saw Zu Zhao staring at him, and a blush flashed on his white and tender face, and quickly hid behind an older maid. Seeing this, Zu Zhao couldn't help being a little funny, and then accompanied the old man Gongsun and Chunyupei into the front hall with several uncles. The relatives of the Gongsun family followed by several elder brothers of the ancestral family, and the subordinates were directly led to the remote courtyard to rest.

Zu Zhao's grandfather and the three elders of the clan are waiting to welcome them in the atrium. Although these elders are not as good as Gongsun Taishou, after all, they are seniors with generations and seniors, and they will not go out to meet each other like young people. The old man Gongsun and Chunyu Pei met their grandparents and elders. After a polite ceremony, they turned to the central hall and sat down.

This time, the hospitality was kind, and the inside and outside of the hall had been carefully arranged, and all the people of the ancestral family were present. Zu Zhao, the eldest son, is naturally no exception, and he is still close to the end of the elders. Most of the rest of the juniors who were unable to enter the seat first helped on the porch outside the hall. After the opening of the banquet, they can take a seat in the open-air seat in the courtyard.

The whole Zujiazhuang is very lively, with only a lot of lights and colors like a grand festival.

In the middle hall, the old man Gongsun and Zu Ju exchanged brief greetings, and then introduced the relatives who accompanied the trip one by one.

King Gongsun may have only one son under his knees. Unfortunately, this son unfortunately fell into the water and died on a cruise ship last year. Now there are only three women left in the family. The eldest daughter has been married at the beginning of the year, and the youngest daughter is still under ten years old. Most of the young people who visited Xu Wu County are close children of the clan. On the one hand, they have taken care of them more or less along the way, and on the other hand, they are also for the sake of more people. Along the way, people misunderstand the Gongsun family.

Among the young people of the younger generation of the Gongsun family, the leader is Gongsun King or his nephew Gongsun Lingxian. He is in the year of weak crown and has a bit of talent and reputation in Xuantou County.

Zu Zhao paid attention to the little prince, but it was strange that he had been introduced by himself, but when it came to the little prince, Gongsun Zhi deliberately bypassed and did not mention it. The other party was just a side branch that could not be on the table.

Zuju also introduced the ancestors, especially the eldest grandson Zuzhao.

Chunyu Pei said with a smile, "Yesterday, I mentioned this young hero in Lingzhi County and repelled more than 100 horses with more than 20 horses, which was really gratifying."

Zu Ju was full of joy and said angrily, "Zhao'er is not a yellow-mouthed child, but he can break the thief in one fell swoop. The thief dares to invade the situation. How can my big man Tianwei tolerate such a thief!"

Everyone smiled for a while, but Zu Zhao at the end of the banquet was full of modesty and lowered his head slightly.

Zu raised his hand and waved his hand and said, "The distinguished guests have come from afar, and they will have a lunch first, and then wash the dust and talk about it for a rest, and then wait until the formal banquet in the evening, okay?" This speech is sonorous and powerful, which shows the prestige of the battlefield in the past.

Naturally, the Gongsun family had no objection, so the ancestors began to hold a banquet in the kitchen.

Although Zuju claimed that lunch was not an informal banquet, as dozens of servants served a variety of drinks and dishes one after another, all the guests of the Gongsun family felt extremely rich. The exquisite lunch is still so grand. I'm afraid that tonight's formal banquet will be wonderful without the wonderfulness of rare beasts. Even the followers of a county magistrate are still in their hearts at present, which shows that the ancestors are rich and generous.

Within a moment, the atmosphere became stronger, and the middle hall was immediately a scene of staggering and drumming.

The ancestors and the guests of the Gongsun family pushed each other's cups and drank happily. Many of the barriers of the first meeting soon faded without a trace under the impact of wine and delicious food.

After drinking, Gongsun Zhi was slightly drunk and said with a smile, "Zi Zhenggong is very grateful for his hospitality. Today, I met the eldest son for the first time outside the city, and praised the eldest son's literary and martial arts talent. It can be said that green is better than blue.

Zuju was in full of wine, which made Gongsunzhi laugh for a while. He knew that Gongsun Zhi was very satisfied with his eldest grandson, and the implication was that he was also very optimistic about the marriage between the ancestral family and the Gongsun family. After a breath, he stroked his beard and said, "Although this son has lost his father since he was a child, he is conscious and diligent, which really makes people worry less. Not long ago, Chen County Jun of this county also made a special trip, saying that he was willing to be named as an inspector in this county, and in a few days, he will go to Tanghui County to be an elder.

Several elders of the Gongsun family, together with Chunyu Pei, praised them one after another. Gongsun Zhi sighed in surprise, "The eldest son was deeply recommended by the county at a young age, and this behavior should become a good story."

Chunyu Pei smiled and said, "In my opinion, but if you don't teach Hu Madu Yinshan, such heroic words can also be comparable to the world's heroic literature and spread to all generations, not to say."

Zu Zhao still didn't say anything, keeping a low profile and an open-hearted smile.

After the elders laughed, the oldest young Gongsun Lingxian in the guest's seat suddenly said loudly, "But the dragon city will fly and will not teach Hu Madu Yinshan. These two sentences are really magnificent and symmetrical. It sounds as if they are not independent, but I don't know if the ancestor has a follow-up to the foreword."

Gongsun Lingxian was polite and full of bookishness, revealing some jokes and difficulties in his words.

The atmosphere in the palace changed a little, and Gongsun Zhi subconsciously stared at Gongsun Lingxian. The elders of the ancestral family are still happy, and they are just a momentary spirit between young people.

Zu Zhao originally did not intend to interrupt at the luncheon, but to follow the elders and agree with him. How could he know that the guests of the Gongsun family would be so interested, but he had to involve himself. But making the dragon city fly, don't teach Huma to Duyin Mountain" is originally a seven-character sentence, and naturally there are two other poems in front of it. However, the poetic style of seven words is not popular at present, so he doesn't want to draw snakes.

So, he smiled lightly and said, "Brother, when you laugh, these two sentences are just feelings on the next whim, but they are just capricious words from the bottom of his heart, and he does not dare to falsely claim the article."

Gongsun Ling raised his glass, took a slow sip, and said with a specious smile, "Mr. Zu is too modest. It is often heard that the ancestor's son is good at literature and martial arts, and it is well known to defeat Hu thieves with fierce courage. Why don't you let Longchengfei make this bold words perfect and truly achieve a world-to-famous article?

If the previous words are only a moment of anger, then the remarks at this moment are enough to reveal a smell of gunpowder.

Zuju and several other parents gradually changed their faces and were very unhappy with Gongsun Lingxian's rampant words. At least Zu Zhao is modest and courteous, and has exhausted the friendship of the landlord. Even if this Gongsun is a guest, he should have the manners of a guest. How can he be so ignorant and noisy? The two families gathered this time, which is the top priority of the marriage between the two valves. What they want is nothing more than to combine the power of the two families in the future and further establish the power in Youzhou. The business has not been finished, but the cracks have been revealed, which is really chilling.

Gongsun Zhi was drunk and scolded Gongsun Lingxian in a harsh voice: "Wen Yan, unbridled."

He turned to Zu Zhao again and said kindly, "Your stupid brother usually drinks less. Today, he is happy and drinks a little more. Just now, don't pay attention to such nonsense."

Zu Zhao knew that the son of the Gongsun family was a typical scholar. He was young and prosperous, and there were always many things he was not used to. Since the other party must stir up trouble and simply accompany him to the end, he wants to see how much ink is in the man's stomach. As always, he smiled peacefully and said slowly, "Since Brother Wen Yan is quite interested in poetry and sentences, he is willing to sincerely ask his brother for advice. On the one hand, he can make friends in literature, and on the other hand, he can also chat to help. I don't know if Grandpa, Mr. Gongsun and the elders agree.

Gongsun Ling saw that Zu Zhao unexpectedly challenged him head-on, and immediately made up his mind that even if the elders present did not agree, he must distinguish himself from Zu Zhao to see what this "bragged" teenager could do.

Gongsun Zhi and Chun Yupei looked at each other, and then turned to the ancestor of the upper seat.

Zuju calmed down for a while, gradually smiled, pushed the cup and said, "It's good for young people to have such elegance." This short sentence obviously acquiesced in Zu Zhao's proposal.

The bustle on the palace was slightly reduced by three points, and many people turned their eyes to Zu Zhao and Gongsun Lingxian.
