"Let it go, let it go!" In the outer city, teams of carriages were moving forward, and the grooms above were driving the carriages to make the newcomers back down.
"Who else will come at this time?!" There are still many people staying outside the Kuai Mansion. These gentry originally lived in the inner city. Their luxurious life has nothing to do with those people in the outer city, and the people have never seen it, but this Kuailiang moved to the outer city, but it gave them a chance to see the world, and naturally these people will not let it go, Now there are already horse-drawn carriages gathered outside Kuai Mansion, and here comes another horse team that is about to block Kuai Mansion to death.
Most of the domestic servants outside the gate of Kuai's mansion have already entered, because almost everyone has come, and the banquet is about to begin. But now there is another group of horse-drawn carriages, who are they
Most of the other gentry came with one or two carriages, and the larger ones were only two carriages. Even the Cai family had no more than three carriages, but this one came with dozens of carriages all at once. A group of gentry celebrities have arrived!
"Look, look! Someone is coming out!"
Finally, the first one or two carriages opened the door curtains, and a fat black man stepped out of it.
"Who is this black fat man!" The people who watched the excitement over there looked at the black fat man who stepped out of the carriage and asked suspiciously. The entire Kuai Mansion is illuminated like daytime, so the common people can still see the scene outside the gate of Kuai Mansion.
"You don't even know this black fat man?!" Someone recognized him, "This man is so precious!"
"Don't drive? Could it be that he is Mr. Yidu? No! Mr. Yidu went in early!" Kuai Yue didn't make a big announcement when he arrived. After all, the two brothers of the Kuai family had a falling out. But after all, family ugliness cannot be publicized. So when Kuai Yue arrived, it was as if he had arrived at his own home. He entered directly and quietly.
"Whoever said that it is from our Jingzhou, please don't drive! If you are from other states, please don't drive!"
"Don't drive from other states?!" The person who asked the question said doubtfully, "Don't drive from other states. Why are you here in Jingzhou!"
"You don't understand! This person is Yuzhou Biejia, who is under the command of the left general Liu Bei. This time, he came to our Jingzhou to discuss important matters with Liu Jingzhou in detail, and this person used to be from our Jingzhou!"
"seriously!"
"That's right! This person's surname is Pang, and his name is Tong. He is Duke Pound's nephew!" When this person mentioned Duke Pang De, he was so devout, which showed Duke Pang De's reputation.
"Son of the Pang family?!"
"Do you know what this Biejia has another nickname?!" Someone began to make fun of Pang Tong.
"What's your name!" The common people are naturally the masters of gossip.
"Haha, it was originally called Pang Hei Pang!" This person said that Pang Tong's nickname was not to black Pang Tong on purpose, but that Pang Tong had a good reputation in Jingzhou. The prodigy of the Pang family, when he was seven years old, he could overwhelm a group of people with weak crowns. Although these people suppressed by Pang Tong are inferior to Pang Tong in terms of literature and resourcefulness, they can't stop others from being jealous and clever. So what, he looks fat and ugly, so the reputation of Pang Hei Pang appeared.
"Then now!" Speaking of the original, naturally there is the current nickname.
"Now it's called Jingzhou's No. 1 dish, braised small turkey!" Naturally, the people nearby didn't know what this Jingzhou's No. 1 dish was, so someone with a heart explained it, which made these people burst into laughter. Pang Tong wanted to borrow arrows from the grass boat, but Liu Mang came to a series of iron activities and played a barbecue directly in the Yangtze River.
The common people are joking. But then they couldn't laugh anymore. It wasn't that Pang Tong came to settle accounts, but that Pang Tong's handwriting was really too big.
"Yuzhou, don't drive Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan to congratulate instead of General Zuo Liu Bei, and send a pair of Dongzhu, a pair of jade, gold, gold, gold!" It widened, almost protruding.
"Sing, sing, why don't you say it! We want to listen!" The common people naturally booed, because this kind of congratulatory gift, they can go out and use it as a talking point when they hear it, and they can go out to brag, such and such a family is so so so rich or something.
"My lord, are you sure there are so many?!" The servant asked cautiously.
"What's wrong!" Pang Tong looked at the servant of the Kuai family very indifferently.
"This number, this number!" The servant asked again. He really didn't dare to reveal this number. It would be a mistake to say it, so he really couldn't bear it and walked away.
"As Mr. Zirou's nephew, it's no use giving a small gift!" Pang Tong said to the servant, "Read it!"
"Hey, hey!" The servant wiped the sweat from his head with his hands, showing his nervousness. He is a servant of the Kuai family, and he has seen the world anyway, but he still feels nervous when he sees this number. Surprised. Only then did he confirm with Pang Tong again and again, and now he will read it out after getting Pang Tong's confirmation.
"Don't drive Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan from Yuzhou to replace Zuo General Liu Bei to congratulate him. He will give you a pair of Dongzhu, a pair of jade bi, and four thousand gold!"
"Hiss!" There was a sound of gasping below, it was shocking, four thousand gold! This is almost more than the sum of gifts sent by the entire Jingzhou gentry today. Four thousand gold, the Huang family brothers were almost killed because of four thousand gold, four thousand gold can basically be worth tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for a year The military salary and food were already gone, but this Pang Tong took it out all at once.
"How does the Pang family have so much money!" Some people couldn't believe it. Pang Tong belongs to the Pang family. If that's the case, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they can't stand it. This is a happy event for the Kuai family. Could it be that there is only one man in the Kuai family? Could it be that they only marry once!
"It shouldn't belong to the Pang family!" Although the Pang family founded the Lumen Academy, there are a lot of money donated by the gentry in the Lumen Academy, and even Liu Biao has approved several mountain houses for the Lumen Academy as the Lumen Academy. location, but Lumen Academy can't afford so much gold.
"Didn't you listen to what he said before? This is Yuzhou Biejia who represents this Yuzhou Muzuo general Liu Bei! The lord of this state will naturally have so much money!" Finally someone thought of this.
"Pang Tong. Pang Shiyuan?!" The people in the backyard naturally also heard the sound of voting at the door. Qiqi frowned.
Four daughter! This is more congratulatory gifts than all the people present, even if the congratulatory gifts of Pang Tong are not comparable to the congratulatory gifts of all the people present, it is simply a generous gift, where does Pang Tong make them face
"Mr. Pang De has a good nephew!" Cai Mao was the first to speak. He was boasting of Mr. Pang De on the surface, but in fact it was a kind of ridicule. What a shame!
"Mr. Pang. Good family wealth!" Huang She is not a fool. For the Pang family, the Huang family and the Cai family stand together. Such a strength does not need to be big, but every time you see this Pang family, you must respectfully salute. , anyone would be uncomfortable, and Lumen Academy is too huge. If Lumen Academy collapses, then Jingzhou will be almost the same, and the entire bureaucratic system will be paralyzed. But this kind of sarcasm is also okay.
This yellow shot is even more vicious, what is Pang Gong's good family wealth. Mr. Pang De doesn't love money and doesn't spare time for scheming. Such a person will be selfless to do Lumen Academy. Such a person will be respected by the world. If a selfish person controls Lumen Academy, Liu Biao will probably not sleep well. , because once Mr. Pound raised his arms and had the slightest ambition, the chair under Liu Biao would not be stable.
"Pang Gong, your nephew?!" On the other hand, Kuai Yue didn't directly ridicule Pang Degong, but looked at Pang Degong suspiciously, because this Pang Tong was Pang Degong's nephew, although the four thousand gold he sent was a disgrace to everyone present. , but for the Kuai family, it is a real discount, four thousand gold, if this is rushed into the treasury, the family fortune of the Kuai family will be greatly improved. There is no harm to Kuaijia Baili.
"What's the matter! You don't want to accept the aliens!" Duke Pang De really has a good temper. Even if it was Cai Mao and Huang She's sarcasm, Lord Pang De also responded indifferently. Pang Degong can still make fun of Kuai Ran, it is really kind of him, "The scholar is already grown up, this time he is not representing my Jingzhou Pang family, nor my Lumen Academy, but his lord, Yuzhou Muzuo General Liu Bei!" Pang Degong The voice of the words is very low, and the emotion in it is very deep. In a blink of an eye, his two younger generations have grown up on their own, and their generation is also old. Pang Tong can have such achievements, and Mr. Pang De is very happy. It's gratifying, after all, he is also from the Pang family.
"Really!" Huang She couldn't hear anything at a young age, and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were both elite characters among people, and Kuai Yue was an old fox-like character, so he could hear it naturally. There are other meanings in it.
"He does not represent the Pang family in Jingzhou, not the Lumen Academy!" If it is just a Lumen Academy, then Kuai Yue and Cai Mao will not think too much, because although Pang Degong established the Lumen Academy, Pang Degong is selfless and never puts Lumen Academy was confused with his own Pang family, and those disciples of Lumen Academy did things for the Pang family spontaneously and voluntarily.
But now that Pang Degong added a Pang family, people have to think about it. Pang Tong is a member of the Pang family, but he cannot represent the Pang family now, and the two also found that Pang Degong and this Pang Shiyuan did not come together. But uncles and nephews, for the sake of unfamiliarity, it can't help but make people think too much.
There must be a change in this! This is what the two of them thought. They looked at each other with a tacit understanding and got a positive answer from each other's eyes. The Pang family may have changed.
How could Duke Pang not see the exchange of vision between Cai Mao and Kuai Yue? It's just that Duke Pang didn't want to pay attention to it. The two old foxes would naturally know what Duke Pang meant.
"Farewell, Pang, please come inside!" The congratulatory gift of four thousand gold, even if Liu Mang is not happy with this Pang Tong, even if Liu Mang wants to kill this little turkey again, but if he comes to send you so much money, it will always be worth it. Can't be turned away!
So Liu Mang still asked Uncle Chen to go forward to greet the No. 1 dish in Jingzhou, braised small turkey.
"Uncle Chen!" I have to say that Pang Tong's preparations were good, and he even called out the word "Uncle" to a housekeeper like Liu Mang. Although this is a title that brings people closer, it is a way of humiliating himself. physical. Who is Uncle Chen! Although I have followed Kuai Liang for so long. But to be honest, he is nothing more than a domestic servant. But now Pang Tong can call a servant an uncle, which is already shocking, because it is a common problem of the gentry to take a fancy to the family. For example, when Huang She came to Kuai's house, he treated Uncle Chen indifferently.
Pang Tong arrived in the backyard under the support of Uncle Chen. If Pang Tong came as the nephew of Mr. Pang De, he would not be sent to the backyard, because the backyard represents the highest seat. The two brothers Huang Kai and Huang Chen who came here together couldn't do it here. Pang Shanmin was able to sit here because of Pang Degong's poor health, but he Pang Tong represented Yuzhou Muzuo General Liu Bei. Pang Tong's own official position is also in Yuzhou. If it is based on the current situation, then Pang Tong is a governor. Naturally, he will take the seat.
"Uncle Kuai, Uncle Cai, Brother Huang!" Pang Tong saw the crowd in the backyard and rushed forward to say hello.
"I don't dare to hear Pang Biejia's uncle!" Cai Mao teased, this Pang Tong is his junior, but he is on the same level as him. Although Yuzhou is not as good as Jingzhou, Cai Mao's mentality is still uncomfortable.
"Uncle Cai was joking. Uncle Cai has always been the object of study for Shi Yuan. Wen can govern one side, and martial arts can command thousands of troops!" Pang Tong kept his posture very low.
"Shiyuan sit next to your uncle!" Kuai Yue nodded and said to Pang Tong, the four thousand gold has been credited. One of the roles that Kuai Yue plays here is naturally his own family. Although he and his younger brother have separated, he is the elder brother of Hi after all.
"Uncle, big brother!" Pang Tong looked apologetic, because Pang Tong didn't call them at first.
"Shiyuan!" Pang Degong didn't speak immediately, but his son Pang Shanmin looked at his younger brother full of joy. He is an older brother, and he feels happy for his younger brother that his younger brother can achieve such an achievement. What about family talk!" As for Pang Tongtong not calling them at first, but bowing to Kuaiyue and Cai Mao, Pang Shanmin didn't care at all, in his opinion, it's fine to come from the family, the Kuai family and the Cai family are outsiders after all.
My family! ? Pang Degong glanced at his nephew, but he sighed in his heart. It is true that Pang Degong has no official position, but Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are both Jingzhou's military advisers. If you are serious about business, Then your name is Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, it should be Cai Junshi and Kuai Biejia, not uncle. Uncle has already added favors. Among the people present, there is still Pang Degong who has a high favor with him Pang Shiyuan man!
This nephew's utilitarianism is too strong, Mr. Pound's heart seems to have turned over the kitchen, colorful, all kinds of tastes in his heart, more of a kind of guilt, such an heir left by his brother, he originally planned to raise him Yes, Mr. Pang De admired Pang Tong's talent, but Mr. Pang De never paid attention to Pang Shiyuan's talent, but did not pay attention to Pang Shiyuan's state of mind.
"Sit down!" Duke Pang De didn't move at all on the surface, although his heart was changing a lot.
Pang Tong nodded and sat down.
"Hey, Brother Kuai, why didn't you see my nephew!" Before the banquet started, Cai Mao naturally wanted to chat with Kuai Yue. The two of them discussed business matters when they were on duty together on weekdays, but now they are discussing in private. After getting in touch with each other, the two big men are naturally talking about romance and the succession of their respective heirs.
Feng Huaxueyue's current occasion is not suitable, so it is an heir. Cai Mao only has one young son, who was born not long ago. Naturally, we can't discuss it. Then it is Kuai Yue's son Kuai Ran. After all, Kuai Yue is from here. How many does Cai Mao have? This is the first time for my daughter to have a son, so naturally she has to learn from Kuai Yue.
But Kuai Liang didn't see Kuai Ran today on Kuai Liang's day of great joy, but it made Cai Mao doubtful.
"That rebellious son!" It's okay not to mention Kuai Ran. When Kuai Ran is mentioned, Kuai Yue's face immediately turns cold. Today is his uncle's big day. It was a cover for Kuai Ran, but at this level, no matter how you cover it up, you can't cover it up, so naturally you can only tell the truth.
Went to the music hall! He didn't return all night, and when he left, he took six young women and a son surnamed Wang with him.
Kuai Yue is very strict with Kuai Ran. As a strict father, Kuai Yue naturally abides by many strict father's rules. The education for his son is above all the education of the poor. Only poverty can cultivate a son's fighting spirit. Therefore, Kuai Yue However, it can be said that he is the poorest son of an aristocratic family in the entire Jingzhou, even some noble sons are richer than him.
That's why Kuai Ran couldn't even spend a hundred gold to buy Miss Yanran, and the other wealthy gentry who wanted to curry favor with Kuai's family didn't dare to help Kuai Ran under the condition that Kuai Yue would not be violated. Buy Yanran!
There is only Liu Mang who is such a fool. Anyway, Kuai Yue doesn't deal with him, so he might as well offend him. It took hundreds of gold to win Yanran and become the beauty of Kuairan!
Kuai Ran had already made Kuai Yue very angry when he went to the music hall, but now Kuai Ran didn't even come to attend his uncle's wedding, which is simply outrageous.
That's why Kuai Yue said such a rebellious word.
As soon as he heard Kuai Yue say this, coupled with the anger on his face, Cai Mao naturally observed his words and immediately avoided the topic. It would be rebellious not to come to his uncle's wedding, and Cai Mao would not reveal it. Kuai Yue's scar is gone, so I can avoid talking about other things.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue talked speculatively, and Pang Tong was also contacting some Jingzhou gentry. It can be said that there are too many Jingzhou gentry gathered in Kuai Mansion today. This is a huge opportunity. In the past, it may have been because of This reason, that reason can't be seen, and now I can find whoever I want. Pang Tong is an eloquent person. I got a lot of goodwill.
Pang Tong was generous. He made four thousand gold as a congratulatory gift and flattered the Kuai family. The younger brother of the Kuai family naturally treated Pang Tong very well. It was given out directly and generously, which made people like it even more!
If before, Pang Tong was very reluctant to give away five thousand gold to himself, then now it is completely worth the money, because there are many gentry who will express their support for Yuzhou. Grain is still far away!
"Papa papa!" While everyone was waiting, a familiar figure came out, and he clapped his hands. Although the sound was not loud, it made the noise present immediately quiet down.
This person is the current owner of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue's younger brother, Kuai Ran and Kuai Zirou.
