In front of the Kuai's mansion, there was a crowd like a market, and various common people and noble families came and went among them, and one after another came forward to present birthday gifts.
"Aunt Chen of the Chen family, send half a basket of eggs! I wish the second master and his family well-being!"
"The Patriarch of the Wu family in Nanyang, Wu Yan sent a hundred gold and fifty bolts of silk! I wish the second master, always laugh!"
"He Cun, Mr. He, send five chickens, I wish, the second master is blessed and blessed!"
The servants at the door have been changed one after another, because this singing ceremony is really tiring, ten or eight are okay, the line is almost endless.
After giving the presents, there is the flowing water mat set up by the Kuai family. Hundreds of tables have been prepared long ago. Anyone who comes to celebrate a birthday will be seated and there will be a banquet. The common people also know that the Kuai family is busy and eat When it was over, he congratulated and left with a smile on his face.
"I wish Kuai Qingtian a long life and all the best!" A commoner who was about to leave after the banquet said to Kuai Liang over there.
"Same joy, same joy!" Today's protagonist, Kuai Liang, also came out, smiling and clasping fists at the people who greeted him.
Kuai Liang may be the king of Hades in the eyes of those gentry children who are doing evil, but in the eyes of those common people, he is a real good official, and Kuai Liang is also kind and kind to these common people.
"Second master. The master is looking for you and asked you to go there!" The servant said respectfully to Kuai Liang who was beside him.
"What's the matter, brother? Didn't you see that I was busy?" Kuai Liang frowned. He seemed to know why his elder brother called him, and he was a little reluctant. Some people walked up to Kuai Liang to say hello. Kuai Liang put away his serious face. smiled.
"Go back and tell elder brother. If there is no important matter, I won't go!" Kuai Liang said to the servant beside him.
"This!" The servant was in a dilemma. The master asked him to call the second master back. If he went back like this now, it would be difficult to explain.
Just when the servant was about to persuade him, he saw a person out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly shouted respectfully, "Master!"
The man walking slowly was none other than the head of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue.
Kuai Yue nodded and told the servant to leave on his own.
"Brother, why are you here!" Kuai Liang said with a smile when he saw Kuai Yue.
Kuai Liang smiled at Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue didn't have a good face for his younger brother, "If I don't come, how can I invite you, a birthday star!"
Kuai Liang laughed, "Brother, you also know that I don't want to greet those people here!" Kuai Liang knew what Kuai Yue came here for, and that was because Kuai Yue asked Kuai Liang to go in and entertain those big boys. Gentlemen, individuals like the Zhang family. These noble families may be beneficial to the development of the Kuai family, and those ordinary people may add a little good reputation to the Kuai family. But there is no real benefit.
But Kuai Liang was unwilling to go in, because many of the people inside had pleaded with him at the beginning. All the children of their family made mistakes, and even the children of two noble families were beheaded by Kuai Liang.
It used to be a cold face, but now it is a smile. He Kuailiang couldn't do it anymore, so he just came out.
"You!" Kuai Yue also shook his head, he also knew that his younger brother was more stubborn, otherwise he would not have left the Kuai family to support himself.
"Brother, it's enough to have you and Ran'er in here! I'm a disgusting person and I won't go in!" Kuai Liang laughed, if it wasn't for his birthday party this time, he didn't plan to meet these people.
"Father, Second Uncle!" Said Cao Cao over there, and Cao Cao arrived, and Kuai Ran walked over.
"However, why did you come out!" Kuai Yue asked Kuai Ran over there.
"Father, everyone is here, except for two families!" Kuai Ran said to his father.
"Which two families!" Kuai Yue asked with a frown, this Kuai family's birthday, the Kuai family is a family in Jingzhou, basically few people do not give face.
"One is the Huang family!" Kuai Ran said to Kuai Yue over there.
"The Huang family?" Kuai Yue nodded.
"Although the Huang family is the one who is in charge now, the Huang family will definitely come! Huang Zu has not become an old bone yet!" Kuai Liang began to mock. If it was before, the Huang family would have sent People have come to celebrate their birthdays, but now they have not come. How could Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue not know the reason
That is, Huang Zu, the old head of the Huang family, has no face to face the two of them again. Huang Zu used to be Liu Biao's diehard loyalist. Even Huang Zu's dispatch to Jiangxia was Liu Biao's protection of Huang Zu, because he also knew Unless Huang Zu mutinied, sooner or later he would be suppressed by the Cai family and the Kuai family in terms of tactics.
After that, Huang Zu beheaded Sun Jian. It was Sun Ce who said that as long as Huang Zu was handed over, he would not be an enemy of Jingzhou.
Although Liu Biao scolded him a lot, he finally lost the Changsha generation to the Huang family as compensation.
This is enough to see Liu Biao's favor for Huang Zu. If you treat him as a national scholar, you must return him as a national scholar. If it was Huang Zu, even if the Huang family was in decline, Huang Zu might not be able to betray Liu Biao, and he might wait anxiously for Liu Biao to weaken the strength of the Huang family.
But he has such a cheating son, this cheating son is very ambitious, not good at thinking, once he is bewitched by others, our old general Huang Zu Huang will lose his life in the evening.
Killing the master, Liu Biao was still so kind to the Huang family.
As the Iron Triangle of Jingzhou back then, how could Huang Zu have the face to face Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang now? Although Liu Biao didn't die at the hands of Huang Zu, but he was inseparable from Huang Zu.
The debt is paid off by the son, the same reason, what the son does, the father must also bear it.
Huang Zu has no face to come, the only thing left is Huang She, Huang She may not want to come at all, because Huang She is the nephew of Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang according to his seniority, but now Huang She has controlled Jingzhou, Now he, Huang She, is the potential Lord of Jingzhou, if he comes to pay his respects to his birthday, he needs to bow to Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang. He was naturally unwilling. High-spirited. Coupled with the current spring breeze. How could he salute Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue
However, although Huang She and Huang Zu will not come, at least their representatives will definitely come.
As long as Huang Zu is not old-fashioned, it will naturally be like this. Just need to wait.
"Is there another family?" The Huang family put it down, and there was only one family left.
"The other one is Liu Daer, Liu Xuande!" Kuai Ran said very bluntly. Because Kuai Ran knew that there was a gap between this Liu Daer and his righteous brother Liu Mang of the Han Dynasty, and even this Liu Daer almost killed his righteous brother, so naturally he would not give Liu Daer a good name.
"However, don't speak so bluntly in front of others!" Kuai Yue stopped Kuai Ran. Kuai Yue also has a bad feeling towards Liu Bei, but Kuai Yue has always been smiling, Kuai Yue scolding Kuai Ran is also teaching Kuai Ran, that is, no matter how much gap there is with a person, words in front of others must be Smiling, it is the right way to give him a fatal blow inadvertently. If you always look at others with hatred, it will only make him wary of you, and in the end you will get twice the result with half the effort.
"Yes, Kuai Ran has been taught!" Kuai Ran nodded. Kuai Yue trained Kuai Ran towards the head of the Kuai family, but Kuai Liang didn't say much. He, Kuai Liang, is suitable for giving advice, but not for his brother's backstabbing skills, so his brother is the head of the family, and he, Kuai Liang, is just an assistant.
Kuai Liang shook his head, and suddenly he said to his elder brother and nephew beside him, "Brother, that Liu Daer may have come!"
"Jiangling, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, send five thousand gold, a pair of jade and jade, and a pair of Dongzhu, I wish Mr. Kuailiang good luck like the East China Sea and longevity!" This libretto subconsciously read it, and was stunned when waiting to read it out .
five thousand gold? A pair of jade bi? A pair of Dongzhu? This value is no less than six thousand gold, who is so rich? But how can the local tyrants squeeze together with these ordinary people? It can't be just playing with themselves.
Subconsciously, the servant of the Kuai family who sang the congratulatory gift began to question it.
"Huh, our General Zuo will send you such a small congratulatory gift? Sing it quickly, Dongzhu and Yubi are here, and the five thousand gold is also in this box!" A disdainful voice sounded from the side, This is really Liao Hua's cry.
Liao Hua took Dongzhu and Yubi for him and put them in front of the table, and opened a small box. Dongzhu and Yubi, the servants who sang congratulatory gifts, might not know each other, because he is not a professional He learned to recognize, but he knows one thing, that is the papers in this small box, the white ones are Jin Lubu, after Jiaozi has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the common people are naturally familiar with it. These things, although Jin Lubu is of great value, it's not like he hasn't seen it.
This stack of Jin Lu Bu has never been seen before, and this skill is really big.
"But, but, since you are the distinguished guests invited by my master, why don't you go over there?" Although the door is open, it is divided into the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and the foreign aid is naturally for those small nobles and ordinary people. , the inner courtyard is for those noble families and noble guests.
This Liu Bei and Liu Xuande actually went to this outer courtyard, which made the servant of Kuai's family wonder whether this Jin Lu Bu was a fake.
Involuntarily looking over, seeing several seals on it, as well as the writing paper, the servant believed it.
"Hmph, how dare you doubt us! We are your master's honored guests, quickly ask your master to welcome our master!" Liao Hua said angrily, even if he gave a congratulatory gift, people would doubt whether the gift was real or not. This Liao Hua naturally I'm very upset.
"Liao Hua back down!" Liu Bei yelled, and then Liu Bei said to the servant of the Kuai family with a pleasant face, "This little brother, we respect Mr. Kuai Liang's character and think that when he is an official, he will be treated equally. , I admire him very much, so I stepped into the team and came to line up, just to show my respect to Mr. Kuai Liang!" Liu Bei's words were really good.
He queued up just to take photos of Kuai Liang's horses, and he admired Kuai Liang's character, so he lined up on purpose
Listening to Liu Bei's words, the two brothers of the Kuai family over there looked at each other, and both of them saw wry smiles in their own eyes, "This Liu Bei and Liu Da'er are really outstanding!"
Without making a sound, I made a flattery, and someone will surely spread the word later, that is our Liu Bei Zuo General Liu Huangshu, because he admires Kuai Liang's character, he specially lined up to congratulate him. Let Liu Bei flatter Kuai Liang, and follow Kuai's family as well, and he can also publicize Liu Bei Liu Huangshu's love of talents.
Kuai Liang shook his head with a wry smile, "What kind of person did this little Huang She introduce!"
Looking at Liu Bei who was talking to his servants with a smile on his face, Kuai Yue also nodded. This Liu Bei really has a way of grasping people's hearts.
If it weren't for the fact that Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were smart people, and with the help of His Royal Highness the King of Han, they would have seen through Liu Bei's true nature, and this would have moved many people.
"But it's a pity! Liu Bei? Hehe, you are destined to be just a pawn of His Highness the King of Han!" Kuai Liang said without worry.
After listening to Liu Bei's words, the servant of the Kuai family nodded his head, "Please wait a moment, my honored guest, I'll go find our eldest son!" Kuai Ran is the person in charge of entertaining these distinguished guests.
"No need!" Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Kuai Ran came together.
"Master, Second Master, Eldest Young Master!" The servant hurriedly saluted the three people.
Liu Bei also noticed these three people.
"The younger generation is a late learner, and I have met Mr. Kuai Yue and Mr. Kuai Liang! I wish Mr. Kuai Liang good luck like the East China Sea and longevity!" Liu Bei is really shameless, he keeps his posture very low.
Liu Bei's former teacher was Lu Zhi, so Lu Zhi was of the same generation as Duke Pang De, and Duke Pang De was a generation higher than Kuai Liang. In this way, Liu Bei should be of the same generation as Brother Kuai Liang. It's not a junior who is late to school. It can be seen that Liu Bei's children's shoes have invested a lot of money in order to please the Kuai brothers.
"General Zuo, please hurry up! Kuai Yue and his second brother can't afford such a great gift from General Zuo!" It knocked out Liu Biao's existence.
Kuai Yue stepped forward to support Liu Bei, taking a step ahead of Liu Bei, pressing Liu Bei's hand below, and leaning his body sideways. In this way, Liu Bei had only one way to turn around, and he could also avoid Liu Bei's salute.
This Liu Bei is obsessed with discipleship, he Liu Bei is shameless, and their Kuai family still has face.
Liu Bei couldn't help squinting his eyes.
Kuai Yue didn't care, but stepped forward and said with a smile, "General Zuo's arrival has made my Kuai family flourish!" (To be continued...)
