In October of the fourth year of Wude, the eyes of all the people in the world were attracted by the battle between Li Tang and Xiao Xian.

The Tang army led by Li Xiaogong and Li Jing were in a state of great power and had already reached the city of Yiling. The Fengming army sent by Xiao Xian had also arrived at the Qingjiangkou near Yiling under the leadership of Wen Shihong.

The two armies are facing each other, the sword is tense

Why do you pay so much attention to this war?

Of course, it is because it is nervous and exciting. You should know that even after 1,500 years, war blockbusters are still a type of high box office in major theaters, not to mention that in this extremely lack of entertainment, it is now.

Although the people who were involved in the war zone were running out, for the people in other safe places, inquiring about the inside story of the battle, etc., are their only way to entertain, and many people have been pointing at this for the rest of their lives.

War is the eternal romance of men

Generally, people who stand in a safe place and watch others fight to the death will say this.

Even for those powerful and numerous storm figures, this battle still has unusual significance to them. For example, those still alive heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, such as Dou Jiande, Luo Yi and others, this battle is no longer an ordinary battle, but a battle that can determine the direction of the world's general trend.

But in Jiangzhou City, everyone's eyes were attracted by another thing.

In order to celebrate his 32nd birthday, the eldest son of the Jingjie Hu Lu Chengde Lu decided to hold a banquet to invite all the people in Jiangzhou who can be called famous, such as the core of the leadership of Jiangzhou, such as Gu Yunfei, Gu Changshi, the head of the Gu family, Zhu Zhaohui, Zhu Gongcao, the head of the Zhu family, Wang Rentong, Wang Sima, etc.

Even though Master Lu knew that Master Daoxin would not attend such boring banquets, he still posted a post to Master Daoxin. In addition to Master Daoxin, many second-level leaders in Jiangzhou were invited to attend, such as Zhang Wanshi, the captain of the city guard, Xue Yu, the capital of Jiangzhou, Chen Yiqian, the chief clerk of Jiangzhou, etc.

Of course, if it is just like this, this matter would not cause much sensation in Jiangzhou. The fact that a leader of Jiangzhou invited another or another Jiangzhou leaders to dinner was meaningless to the people of Jiangzhou.

Just like after 1,500, people will not think that it is meaningful for national leaders to invite other national leaders to dinner. Because national leaders are too far away from the people, and the state banquet the leaders eat is even further away from the people. For ordinary people, no matter how good the dishes are, as long as they are not eaten into their own mouths, it is definitely a waste.

The most fundamental reason why Master Lu’s 32nd birthday became so sensational is that Master Lu would hold a three-day sermon on the street. It is said that Master Lu, the tiger of Jingjie, has already spoken, and all the elders of Jiangzhou can come over and eat as much as they want.

Of course, this kind of behavior is very expensive and very prodigal, but Master Lu said again, don’t be afraid of spending money, we guys are short of everything, but we don’t lack money.

It's impossible not to say that this measure is really a big shot

Suddenly, Master Lu's reputation in Jiangzhou increased rapidly. He saw that he went from hatred to hostility, and then went from hostility to coldness, and then jumped from coldness to neutrality and rushed to friendly.

The ancients said: Food is the most important thing for people.

The ancients also said: If you have friends coming from afar, can you still have a meal?

You said that what people have worked hard in their lives is just to make a living? Isn’t it just to make a living? Now that Master Lu is willing to invite everyone to dinner, it is of course a good thing that cannot be better. So, when the 32nd birthday of Master Lu’s tiger in Jingjie finally came, countless people took their families to Master Lu’s hop to prepare for free food and drink.

"Gu Yunfei, Gu Changshi, arrived..."

"Wang Rentong and Wang Sima arrive..."

"Zhu Zhaohui and Zhu Gongcao are here..."

It was not yet noon, but the heads of Gu Zhu and the three families had already arrived at the Lu family.

This is indeed beyond the expectations of most people. You must know that the relationship between the four great masters of Jiujiang always laughs in person and is like a knife behind their backs. If they can attack each other, they will never hesitate. Therefore, for safety reasons, the heads of the four families of Gu Lu Wang Zhu will basically not agree to each other's banquet.

What I’m afraid of is that I went to have a free meal today, and after I came back in the evening, I never had to eat again.

This thing is really hard to say. Before Lu Hao from Jiujiang Lu's family came to Jiangzhou, Gu Zhu and Wang had a similar incident. The head of the Wang family was poisoned to death after he had a meal at the Zhu family. As a result, the Wang family said that it was poisoned to death by the Zhu family, and the Zhu family said that it was poisoned to death by the Wang family.

Damn it’s a big deal. Who did this?

The Zhu family insisted that it was their own problem. At this time, the Gu family said that whether the Wang family believed it or not, the Gu family believed it anyway.

This is not a cheating father? But the Wang family had just moved to Jiangzhou, and there was insufficient staff. Moreover, the local snakes in Jiangnan, such as the Gu family and the Zhu family, are not small, so the Wang family could only endure it. However, since this incident, these aristocratic families in Jiujiang rarely invited each other.

At around noon, the rest of the leaders of Jiangzhou and other prominent figures, such as the captain of the city guard Zhang Wanshi, the capital Xue Yu, the chief clerk Chen Yiqian, etc., also arrived. Of course, people like the prisoner of Jiangzhou, Chen Yishan, the coroner ball Fei Liguo, who could barely get into the leaders of Jiangzhou, came earlier.

Some of these people were standing in the Gu family, some were standing in the Wang family, of course, the most were standing in the Lu family, so everyone started to have fun greetings, enthusiastic chats, enthusiastic satire, and so on in the hall.

Basically, this scene is almost the same as the scene of bureaucrats celebrating the Spring Festival now. Everyone gathers together to say good things to each other lively, and then try hard to express their true meaning with these blessing words. For example, someone says to you with a smile and you are getting stronger and stronger, and you don’t need to ask. The theme of this sentence is definitely not to say you are strong, but to say you are old.

The rest of the things are probably like this, isn’t it just like this?

Just as these people were having fun and nonsense with each other in the hall, the heads of the other three major families in Jiangzhou were talking nonsense in the flower hall next to the hall. The two circles were clearly separated and not at all confused.

This is not because Lu Chengde is snobbish, so-called Wu Dalang plays with night owls, and who plays with birds. This arrangement is just a customary rule for everyone.

What is a noble? It is bloodline and inheritance

Aristocratic families naturally have the demeanor of aristocratic families. Do you want the leaders of a thousand-year-old family to go to the hall to chat with a bunch of family trees that cannot be arranged in the third generation?

What? You said that your family does not have your own clan school, and you don’t even know the name of your grandfather? I have nothing to say about you, I’ll give you a word, get out

If something like this really happens, it will be a naked slap in the face.

Don't bully the nobles like this

Just after these top figures in Jiangzhou chatted with each other for a few words, with an even louder sound, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Then, I saw Lu Zhi, who was standing at the door of the hall, standing out with a smile on his face, shouting loudly, "The time has come, please sit down by Gao Xian..."

Then, under the guidance of the servants, these first- and second-tier leaders of Jiangzhou returned to their seats and sat down. After these people sat down, the heads of Gu Zhu and Wang family came out of the flower hall and walked to the upper head of the hall to sit down. Then, after two more updates, the eldest son Lu Chengde and Lu appeared at the door of the hall.

In fact, it is extremely rude to be the master of Mr. Lu as the master, but no matter whether it is Zhang Wanshi, Xue Yu, the second-level leaders of Jiangzhou, or the heads of the three major families such as Gu Zhu, everyone has a tacit understanding, no one has raised this question.

You have to talk about etiquette with a truly reasonable person. A gentleman can deceive him, which means that if a person gives up the principle of being a human being, then no one can bully him.

As for reasoning with Jingjiehu? Are you joking? Are you must be joking?

After the wine and food were served, Master Lu stood up without hesitation and raised the cup in his hand with his hand. "Today, Lu's birthday, I am very honored to be a guest at Jiangzhou Gaoxian. Please drink this cup full of money."

With a thud, all the leading figures in Jiangzhou standing in the Lu family, including the chief clerk of Jiangzhou Chen Yiqian, picked up the cup in his hand. However, none of the remaining leaders of Jiangzhou, such as Zhang Wanshi, Xue Yu, and the heads of the three major families, touched the cup in front of him.

To be honest, if Lu Chengde didn't take this opportunity to poison himself, he would be stupid, but if he dared to eat and drink the Lu family's things on such an occasion, he would be stupid.

"What," Lu Chengde put down the wine glass in his hand. To others' surprise, he seemed not angry at all, "Gu Changshi, Wang Sima, Zhu Gongcao, Zhang Xiaowei, Xuezhoudu..."

Lu Chengde had a smile on his face, and his two slightly deep eyes swept over the body of the person who was unwilling to raise his glass. "Why, do you even refuse to give Lu such a little face?"

"Sorry, I feel the cold and I can't drink alcohol today." Gu Yunfei and Gu Changshi replied without hesitation. "Please don't force me, please don't force me, nephew Chengde."

"Oh, Mr. Gu is actually sick." Lu Chengde put down his cup and smiled happily, "But Mr. Gu, don't worry, Mr. Lu has good medicine here, so you can definitely cure your illness."

As he said that, Lu Chengde reached out to Wang Rentong, the head of the Wang family, and said, "Old Wang, you are also feeling cold occasionally, so you can't drink anymore?"

"It's..." Wang Rentong is older than Gu Yunfei, and he is even more rude to Lu Chengde, a junior. "You should stop talking about these useless things. Today I was invited to come just to know if the fact that you said you are willing to support me as the governor of Jiangzhou is true."

"Support you?" Gu Yunfei said, "Nephew Lu, didn't you say you supported me? Could it be that you are planning to deceive me?":
