Tongren's entire mansion has been resting for three days!

The prefect celebrates his birthday, and all walks of life and yamen in the palace can have a magnified holiday, which can only be achieved by where the chieftains are in power.

However, Fatty Zhang would not be able to stay in the magistrate. His home was in the magistrate's back yamen. Moreover, since the magistrate's yamen was transformed with the original chieftain's mansion, the main entrances to enter and exit were still in front. If there were no quarrels, there would be lawsuits here and those who went to the magistrate's yamen to do business, and there were still a large number of congratulatory guests coming and going. What would it look like?

The side and back doors of the prefect's yamen were also opened. The back door was closed all night since three days ago. People with different responsibilities, including the Zhang family, big heads, two heads, small heads, etc., came to give gifts. Grain, cloth, chickens and ducks, meat elbows, honey, yellow wax, various mountain delicacies, fresh fish, and fine wine...

When the chieftain celebrates his birthday, he does not have to spend a penny, and everything he needs is worshipped by his subordinates. The people hand over the offerings to their officials or leaders, and then they collect them and send them to the prefect's office. The temporary addition of chefs, servants, and tables are also the people of the Zhang family. After three days, the Zhang family's backyard was filled with all kinds of property.

The officials and their families of Tongren Mansion entered and exited the side door. They came in through the side door and presented the gifts, and the men and women separated. The male guests were led to the living room set up in the courtyard of the second hall by the guest, while the females were led to the living room set up in the third hall.

There is no such great ethics and education as the Central Plains here, nor will it strictly separate male and female guests. Sometimes female guests will go to the second hall or male guests to the third hall. The reason for the separation is to make everyone more restrained and enjoy it.

The main entrance is specially used to welcome big men with the status of a toast. It is also the most deserted place at present. There are sixteen red-colored servants standing there with their heads raised and their chests standing next to them. There is a giant drum next to them. Once the toast arrives, the drum will be sounded, but the giant drum has not responded once since the early morning.

Zhang Yi walked around the second hall. He greeted some Tongren officials and gentry with a smile. Suddenly he realized something was wrong. He swept around and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately turned around and rushed to the front yamen.

When Zhang Yi arrived at the front yamen, he saw a table under the porch. There were red cloth on the table and four treasures of the study were placed. A accountant who was in charge of recording gifts was holding his chin and dozing off boredly.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The table was knocked hard a few times, and when the palm room opened its eyes, he saw that the second master of the family was standing in front of him with a calm face, and quickly stood up: "Second Master!"

Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "How many toast masters have arrived?"

The good accountant looked down at the empty gift book and said with a look of distress: "This... the second master, no one has come..."

Zhang Yi couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he heard this: "No, no matter what, they won't tear them apart. They won't even come on my elder brother's birthday, right?"

From afar, the sound of festive gongs and drums came. He was even more upset. Zhang Yi turned around and walked towards the back house, his eyes swept. Suddenly, he saw his nephew Zhang Yutong walking in from outside, and Zhang Yi immediately stopped.

When Zhang Yutong saw him, she knew why he was worried. She quickly walked up to him and whispered: "Uncle, don't worry, and my nephew also found something wrong. She specially sent someone out to investigate. The chieftains from all over the country had arrived and lived in the inn and temples respectively. The servants just returned that they had already gone out one after another. They were riding on horses and sedan chairs and rushed here."

Zhang Yi couldn't help but sighed relieved. If Master Zhang celebrated his birthday and no one came to congratulate him, the problem would be serious. No matter what the Prime Minister Zhang said before, even if no one supported him, he could barely say that he had disagreements. If Master Zhang celebrated his birthday, he would not have such etiquette. Then he slapped Master Zhang first, and then closed his mouth and shouted all over the world: "I won't obey your mercy from now on."

Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then snorted coldly, saying, "Your father celebrates his birthday, they are still rushing slowly, and it's not yet. It's obvious that they are deliberately neglecting."

Zhang Yutong sighed and said, "My father believed in what the Taoist Changfeng said. Now that the flag is over, it is difficult for us to make any movement this year. Be patient. When the Chinese New Year and their vigilance are relaxed, we will wait for an opportunity to fight back and let them know the power of our Zhang family."

Zhang Yi said comfortably: "Well! Good boy, with you in the Zhang family, I will never stop hope. Your father and I are old. If you fight Yu Junting, it depends on you, and you will grow up ambition!"

Zhang Yutong nodded vigorously, and a trace of hostility flashed across her slightly childish face.

The uncle and nephew walked back side by side, Zhang Yi said, "They are slowly making a fuss. I'm afraid the auspicious time will not come yet. Should I wait for them or start a banquet first?"

Zhang Yutong said: "If it is for them to miss the auspicious time for the banquet, wouldn't it make them more ambitious? They deliberately neglected it just to humiliate our Zhang family. We cannot make them happy. Let's hold the banquet on time!"

In the second hall, Wu's father and Xiang's father chatted enthusiastically for a while, and suddenly realized something was wrong. The people in the yard had already sat there, but there were only three or two kittens in the four tables of banquets in the lobby. Wu's father couldn't help but frown and whispered to Xiang's father: "It seems something is wrong, look!"

When Xiang's father looked into the hall, he couldn't help but feel nervous: "What does this mean? Even the prefect's birthday is gone!"

"Silence!"

Wu's father quickly asked him to lower his voice, looked around again, and said, "Dai Tongzhi didn't come either!"

Father Xiang said, "Putting aside his identity as a chieftain, he is still a co-magistrate of our dean and a direct subordinate of the prefect. How dare he not come to socialize?"

As Xiang said, he looked around and suddenly saw Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian sat next to a mat beside the corridor, looking around, very leisurely. Those who have arrived are all neutrals who are close to the Zhang family, or who have no great energy, and do not need to express their opinions.

Ye Xiaotian has been listed as one of the four major guardians in Jianzhou. In order to avoid suspicion, these people are far away from him, so there is only Ye Xiaotian at that table, which makes him look very eye-catching.

Seeing Ye Xiaotian, Xiang Fu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Look, the person named Ye is sitting there. If they agreed not to come, the person named Ye will definitely not show up. Since he has come, Dai Tongzhi will not come."/*

Wu's father also saw it at this time and snorted heavily: "No matter what, they have not arrived yet, so they are very disrespectful to the prefect!"

Wu's father sneered and said, "Come on, they have been disrespectful for a long time. I don't believe it. The Zhang family has been saying that they will fall down after five hundred years. Look at it, the less the Zhang family has moved. There will definitely be big moves in the future. Let them be proud. I'll wait to see when they look ugly!"

Ye Xiaotian sat alone in the corner, so bored. Seeing some female guests coming from the second hall, accompanying her husband to meet some friends, especially relatives who are tangled, some male guests also went to the third hall to pay homage to some female elders of the family, so they simply stood up and walked towards the third hall.

The Zhang family has suffered consecutive defeats in politics this year. They are determined to use the prestige of Zhang to help them with their prestige and morale in the fun. So they specifically proposed that all the officials and gentry should bring their families. Ye Xiaotian has not yet married, but in his heart, he really did not regard Doni as a concubine with a low status, so he brought her today.

Now that he saw that he was isolated in front of him, Ye Xiaotian was a little worried about Donni, so he rushed to Santang. He wanted to see Donni's situation. Donni was flattered for the first time with Ye Xiaotian to attend such an event. He dressed up very carefully.

She wore a small jacket with a high-necked, silver silk-shaped double-breasted silver collar, and a phoenix-tail skirt. Her hair was combed into a peach-heart bun, except for two pearls under her ears, there was no decoration. Her willow eyebrows were like curved and thin moon, and her face was covered with faint light rouge, which was gentle and beautiful, and looked very beautiful.

Her temperament and appearance are outstanding among the female guests in the hall, which is very eye-catching. Some people are curious and ask about her identity. When they learn that she is Ye Tuiguan’s concubine, some people dislike her.

Even though these powerful ladies were very beautiful at the beginning, most of them were over middle age. Today, they just popped up a delicate and tender little bitch, stolen their limelight. Can they feel good? Besides, she is a concubine, and she actually sat in the same seat with them. What's even more hateful is that she is still Ye Xiaotian's woman and the rival of the Zhang family.

Before the banquet started, a table of women was kowtowing melon seeds to grind their teeth, and a woman kowtowed melon seeds and said with a smile: "No wonder, a lowly concubine can also be so elegant. Look at her little appearance, she must be aware of her charming method and will make men happy!"

Another woman put a handkerchief on her cheek and rubbed it on her left and right, and said lazily: "It's hard to say, maybe the man is better. I love pretty, what kind of beauty do you love? What kind of beauty do you love? Otherwise, will Yu Jianzhou be so popular?"

A woman started to laugh maliciously. Donnie sat there with her waist up straight. She heard that what they were saying was not good, but she still looked like she was smiling without showing her teeth. She only had two embarrassing blush on her cheeks. This girl was actually rude, but now she was extremely well-behaved. Although she was angry and sad, she didn't dare to have an attack, for fear that others would say she was rude and lose her face.

A woman sitting on Donnie's head held tea and twisted her waist, which was already covered in fat, and said teasingly: "I'm going home, but I have to look at it tightly. Don't ask her to approach your men like this, otherwise... Ouch!"

Before she finished speaking, she felt that her elbow seemed to be hit by someone, and a cup of tea poured on her face, and she screamed immediately.

Ye Xiaotian appeared at the table angrily. When Donni saw it, she stood up quickly and said timidly: "Old... Master..."

She also knew that the rules outside were very good, and she could not call him Brother Xiaotian like she was at home, otherwise she would have to provide someone with a message. Seeing Ye Xiaotian's face was furious, she felt a little sad unconsciously: "It's all that I'm not good, I can't act like a lady from a family, so I'll tell Brother Xiaotian to embarrass me."

Ye Xiaotian grabbed her little hand, glanced at the women in the mat coldly, and shouted "Spray" and cursed disdainfully: "A bunch of idiots!"

After Ye Xiaotian cursed, he pulled Doniyang away, leaving behind a group of old ladies in the wind...
