Three days later, the Kong family held a banquet and announced to the whole city of Cuenca: The second young master of the Kong family was successfully promoted to the first-level Yuanshi. To celebrate this great event, the Kong family held a banquet for the whole city. Anyone who wanted to say congratulations would Everyone can sit on the flowing water seats!
As a result, people all over Kunca City naturally rushed to tell each other, making the celebration of Kong Ming's promotion to Yuanshi immediately become a grand event in the whole city, and the reputation of the Kong family was unparalleled!
The street outside the door of the Kong family manor was already covered with colorful sheds. Thousands of banquets were held directly on the street, which could be said to be very lively. At least 80% of the people in Cuenca will come to the Kong family to say congratulations. In other words, the Kong family had to receive hundreds of thousands of people to eat and drink. As a result, more than a thousand tables of flowing banquets were opened from morning to night, and countless amounts of chicken, duck, fish, meat and wine were consumed. Just for these food and drink expenses, I am afraid it will cost thousands of gold coins!
Apart from the Kong family, who else could do such a grand thing? Fortunately, the Kong family started preparations three days in advance. Otherwise, no matter how much rice and food the Kong family had, they would not be able to withstand such consumption.
The flowing water table outside was used to entertain ordinary people. Those who really had status and status in Cuenca City naturally had to go to the Kong Family Manor to participate in the internal banquet. And the Kong family banquet was held for a hundred seats, and basically all the prominent people in Cuenca City were present!
Who dares not to give face to the Kong family? The only people who did not attend this celebration were the Chang family members.
As the hosts, the three fathers and sons of the Kong family were naturally very busy, frequently toasting to the guests. And those who can sit with the Kong family and his son are naturally the real top figures in Cuenca City. Luo Zheng and Mei Lin are both present. It can be said that as long as there is one more Chauncey, the four top figures in Cuenca City can gather together!
During the dinner, countless words of congratulations and praises poured in to Kong Ming like water! Kong Ming, on the other hand, has always been polite and courteous, looking young and mature. This naturally earned him more praise.
Just as everyone was toasting to each other with smiles on their faces, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Why don't you call me in such a lively scene? Could it be that the dignified Kong family will dislike me and can't afford it?" A suitable gift?"
Upon hearing this voice, the expressions of most people sitting at the table with the Kong family and his son suddenly changed. Because everyone can tell that the owner of this cold voice is none other than Chauncey, who has not been seen for many days!
Chauncey deliberately appeared at this time, God knows what he wanted to do? If there is a dispute between the Kong and Chang families, it won't affect Chi Yu, right
At this time, Kong Jun seemed very calm, and laughed without changing his expression: "Master Chang, you are joking! The invitation to invite you to the banquet has been sent to my house a long time ago. I am worried that you, the noble man, are busy and will not be able to attend. This is the banquet. Now it seems that Sir Chang is really giving you face. Come on, come on, please take a seat, I will give you a toast!"
Chauncey gave a cold "hum" and said, "Have a seat? I'm afraid your Kong family doesn't have so many seats!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chang Xi and his party entering the inner hall.
The internal banquet held by the Kong family was divided into an inner and an outer hall. There were only three seats in the inner hall, and only the real bigwigs in Cuenca were eligible to sit. With his identity as Chauncey, he could naturally enter the inner hall, but this time there were really more people following him. No wonder he said there were not enough seats.
There are more than 20 people in Changxi's group, of which Changxi is naturally the leader, and closely behind him are his eldest son Chang Shisheng and second son Chang Shixing, and almost 20 others. All of them are cultivators, and most of them are guest elders and diners of the Chang family. As for Chauncey's eight grandchildren, they are not among this group for the time being.
However, when did the Chang family have so many cultivators? There are more than twenty people, which is already larger than the Kong family!
Some sharp-eyed people noticed that among the group of Chauncey, the dozen or so people walking at the back were all relatively unfamiliar faces. Maybe, these people are helpers brought in by Chauncey, ready to give the Kong family a good look!
It seems that Chauncey's silence some time ago was probably to prepare for this outbreak!
However, even if Chauncey finds some helpers, can he guarantee that he will beat the Kong family? You must know that Kong Jun's title as the number one expert in Kunca City is not false at all!
Regardless of what other people were thinking, Mr. Kong showed his generosity as a master at this time. He laughed loudly and said: "Master Chang has brought so many people to support us. We, the Kong family, are really honored. ! What are you afraid of if there are not enough seats? I ordered my servants to open two more seats, and I promise not to neglect the distinguished guests!"
Chauncey snorted in his nostrils and looked at the sky: "Dignified guests? How many people here are truly qualified to be called honored guests? Those who feel that they are not worthy enough, please get out of here!"
Changxi bullied the Confucius family and still showed such a arrogant attitude. Why should he
You must know that the people who can enter the inner hall, even if they are not cultivators, are all wealthy and powerful figures in Cuenca City. Chauncey wants to compete with the Kong family, but does he deserve to offend others
Chauncey's move is as if he already considers himself number one in Cuenca City, so he doesn't have to take other people seriously!
What is the reason that gives Chauncey such confidence
Faced with Chang Xi's arrogant behavior, Kong Jun's expression also cooled down, and he said calmly: "Those who came to the Kong family today are all distinguished guests of my Kong family. If Lord Chang has a different opinion, he Why don’t you show off your authority again when the Chang family holds a banquet!"
Kong Jun's words sounded much nicer than those of Chauncey. Many people who were originally neutral towards the dispute between the Kong and Chang families suddenly gravitated towards the Kong family in their hearts.
But today's Chauncey was obviously full of confidence. He continued to snort coldly: "Only the truly important people are qualified to be called distinguished guests. Wouldn't it be humiliating to share the same table with some ordinary cats and dogs? A real distinguished guest?”
At this point, Changxi cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "I would like to invite the third young master of the Cao family!!"
As soon as Chauncey finished speaking, among the strangers who were originally standing behind Chauncey, a young man who looked to be in his twenties, with red lips and white teeth, and a graceful demeanor came forward, bowed his hand to Mr. Kong and said with a smile: " It’s really gratifying to hear that the second young master of the Kong family has been promoted to the realm of Yuanshi at such a young age! However, Cao’s trip was presumptuous and he really didn’t have time to prepare a big gift. Please forgive me, Brother Kong!”
This young man is dressed like a noble prince, but according to his words, he actually puts himself on an equal footing with Kong Jun. So where does he come from
