Chapter 769 Banquet

Lu Shixun's surprise was extraordinary. He remembered Chu Huan unforgettable. He would never forget his face until he died. He really didn't expect that what came out of the car was his enemy.

Yuan Chongshang had already smiled and said, "Does Mr. Lu know Lord Chu?"

Lu Shixun was a little disbelief. His eyes showed resentment, but Chu Huan was already smiling and said, "I think Master Lu will never forget his official position. Master Lu, why don't you be fine?"

Lu Shixun couldn't help but clench his fists and couldn't help asking Yuan Chongshang: "Governor, who is this?"

"This is Lord Chu, the imperial envoy sent by the capital." Yuan Chongshang did not know the grudge between Chu Huan and Lu Shixun. When he saw the carriages and horses in front of the door, he asked, "Captain Li has arrived?"

Lu Shixun forced a smile and said, "Commander Li just entered the garden." Looking at Chu Huan, he saw Chu Huan looking at him with a smile, as if an old friend he hadn't seen for many years was reunited.

At this moment, laughter was heard, and a group of people were already gathered in the yard. First, they were wearing dark blue brocade robe. They were about fifty years old and looked vigorous. They were walking with strong feet, with a national face and a hooked nose. Lu Shixun really seemed to be carved from the same mold as him. Chu Huan knew at one glance that this person must be Lu Lengyue, the head of the Lu family.

Lu Lengyue's feet were strong, but his steps were very fast. Before he could get close, he had already raised his hands. Behind him were more than a dozen wealthy gentlemen in brocade clothes and jade belts. Lu Lengyue said from afar: "Governor, Governor, have been neglected. The big horse is here, and the bustling shines brightly. The house is really full of gold and jade!"

Yuan Chongshang had already stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lu Dongjia, what you said is exactly the same as the man. I just said that if your Luyuan is a humble house, there would be no house for people in this entire Taiyuan Prefecture."

Lu Lengyue was stunned and then burst into laughter, "Sir, are you joking." Seeing Chu Huan, a look of confusion appeared on his face, Yuan Chongshang introduced it again. Lu Lengyue immediately restrained her smile, showed awe, and bowed deeply, and said, "The imperial envoy is here, and I have missed the welcome. Please do not blame me."

Chu Huan bowed his hand and didn't say anything. Lu Lengyue had already raised her hand and said, "Please, Commander Li, and several heads are all waiting in the hall!"

Yuan Chongshang was not polite, and walked side by side with Chu Huan to the yard. Chu Huan glanced at Lu Shixun beside him. When he saw Lu Shixun walking, his body seemed to be a little unbalanced. Soon he found that one of Lu Shixun's legs seemed to have some problems. While walking, the leg seemed to be a little crooked, and he couldn't help but ask softly: "Young Master Lu's leg..."

As soon as he said this, Lu Shixun's face became even more ugly, and there was an unconcealed resentment in his eyes. However, Lu Bingyue had already smiled and said, "When the little dog was riding a horse, he accidentally fell off the horse, so he fell into a hidden illness, which made the imperial envoy laugh."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "No laughter, no laughter." Suddenly, I remembered that when Lu Shixun was in Yunshan Mansion, he intended to abuse Linlang, but he taught this kid a lesson mercilessly. He clearly remembered that the kid was kicked hard in the crotch by him. At this moment, he vaguely remembered that Lu Shixun's leg seemed to be his masterpiece. No wonder Lu Shixun's resentful look appeared in his eyes, but Lu Bingyue was hidden and covered up in slight distortion. The old guy had a smile on his face, and it seemed that Lu Shixun's leg was really caused by his fall.

Although there are many guests, the Lu family has great business, not only many servants, but also many tribe members, so the arrangement is very appropriate. Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan were arranged to sit at the main table of the main hall. The main hall was very generous, with more than ten tables placed. Even so, there were not enough. In the spacious courtyard outside the main hall, more than ten tables were placed.

The lanterns were like clouds, and the lights were everywhere. When Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang entered the lobby, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone on the left and right bowed to Yuan Chongshang. When they arrived at the edge of the master's seat, they saw that there were several people on the master's table. The table was made of nanmu and a large round table. More than ten people could sit down without being crowded. Chu Huan swept over quietly and saw Commander Li who had seen in front of the Ministry of Justice's Office. The other person he had seen was Kou Chun, the head of the Ministry of Justice's Office.

Commander Li looked a little unsatisfied, and sat on a big chair with his eyes closed, as if he was resting, while Kou Chun had a very happy conversation with the person sitting next to him.

When Chu Huan and others came over, everyone on the table stood up. Commander Li Wangsun also opened his eyes and saw Chu Huan beside Yuan Chongshang, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.

As everyone bowed, Yuan Chongshang had already introduced Chu Huan to everyone. Prince Li browsed and smiled and said, "The name of Lord Chu has been admired for a long time. Xiliang and his party have shown their power in our country. I will see you today. It is indeed a young hero."

Chu Huan bowed and smiled. Since he was an imperial envoy, he represented His Majesty the Emperor, so he naturally wanted to sit in the main seat. Chu Huan gave in and sat there. On the left is Prince Li and on the right is Yuan Chongshang.

The main guests were seated, and the other guests were naturally seated one after another. The hall was brightly lit, and when I was in it, I didn’t feel that it was night at all.

This was a big banquet, and it was also when the Lu family showed everyone the strength of Taiyuan's No. 1 businessmen, so the wine and food served were naturally not ordinary wine and food.

The delicious food was coming up one after another, but in a moment, the table was filled with dishes, full of colors and fragrance. Lu Lengyue, who was accompanying the main table, had already smiled and said with a smile: "Everyone, I have found the chefs of our four major restaurants in Taiyuan City. I changed the place. I don't know how they tasted. Everyone should try it."

Everyone laughed, Kou Chun smiled and said, "The Lu Dong family is really big. On weekdays, they can only eat one dish. Today we have a great treat. There are four famous dishes on a table, and only the Lu Dong family has such a trick."

Lu Lengyue hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Kou is so serious. You are all distinguished guests, so how can you neglect?"

Yuan Chongshang just smiled and didn't say anything, but Chu Huan didn't say anything. Seeing a steamed fish in the middle of the table, he thought to himself that Xuanyuan Sheng had just mentioned that the most famous dish of comfort is sea bass. Since Lu Lengyue was entertaining guests, this famous dish in Anyi is naturally indispensable.

As the owner, Lu Lengyue naturally toasted the guests frequently. He had a lot of alcohol. After drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, his face remained unchanged. Suddenly, he saw Yuan Chongshang wink at him. Lu Lengyue understood it and had already stood up, raised his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, let's calm down first, listen to Lu's words!"

Although he was over fifty years old, his voice was loud and he suddenly calmed down. Lu Lengyue bowed his hand and surrounded him for a while, then said: "Today, I invite you all to come, first of all, so that everyone can get together. When the Huang clan was doing evil in Anyi and controlling the Shang veins, we suffered a lot of grievances. Now we are proud. For this reason, everyone should get together to have a drink."

Most of the merchants in the middle were constrained by the Huang family. When they heard this, they immediately shouted.

Lu Lengyue said solemnly: "Everyone, it is a good saying, "Don't forget to dig wells when you eat water. We can have today, and ask who is it because of it?"

Someone shouted at the moment: "Of course, it's the Governor!"

As soon as this person spoke, everyone shouted: "The Governor is our reborn parents. It is naturally the Governor's credit for us to be able to turn things around!"

However, Yuan Chongshang couldn't help but smile and stood up and said, "Everyone, I am really ashamed. All of this is the wise of the priest. It is the priest who sees through Huang Ju's conspiracy and eliminates the traitor. In Anyi, I am just doing something within my ability."

Lu Lengyue said solemnly: "Sir, you are too humble. We all know that Huang Tianyi led the rebellion party to attack the Governor's Office at night. The Governor was both wise and brave, broke through the siege, transferred the Imperial Guards, and joined the Fang Commander...!" At this point, he bowed to the first official in Prince Li and continued: "If it weren't for the Governor and Fang Commander's Office to deal with it properly, our Taiyuan City would be in a catastrophe."

Chu Huan looked at the commander Fang calmly. He knew that this commander Fang had a status of equal status as Wei Tianqing, the commander of the Yunshan Prefecture Imperial Guard, and must be Yuan Chongshang's most trusted subordinate. This commander Fang looked unpretentious and was definitely inconspicuous in the crowd. He looked calm. When Lu Lengyue mentioned him, he was expressionless.

However, Prince Li had already smiled and patted Commander Fang on the shoulder. Commander Fang had no expression on his face, but when Prince Li slapped, Commander Fang's body shook like an electric shock, and a hint of pain appeared on his face. Prince Li was a little strange and frowned. However, Lu Lengyue was talking at this time, and he couldn't interrupt him. Commander Fang turned his head and glanced at Prince Li, and his expression had returned to normal. He raised his hand and gently waved it, indicating that it was okay.

Yuan Chongshang did not notice this scene, but just looked at Lu Lengyue, but Chu Huan saw it, and a strange color flashed deep in his eyes.

After Lu Lengyue's words, everyone naturally agreed loudly.

"We are having a banquet here today, but don't forget that in Yusuo Lake, there are still tens of thousands of warriors who are throwing their heads and shed their blood for the safety and peace of Anyi." Lu Lengyue said with a sigh: "Everyone, do we also do something for them? The peace of Anyi is the business of all of us. Should we do our best?"

Everyone looked at each other and most of the people present were as beautiful as monkeys. Lu Lengyue said this to this point, and everyone still had some truths that they didn't understand.

After a silence, I finally saw someone standing up and whispering: "I am willing to donate two thousand taels of silver as military funds!"

Everyone looked over immediately, but Yuan Chongshang had already smiled and said, "Okay, it's indeed Gongzhong's country!"

The man was praised by Yuan Chongshang and was immediately proud. Many people around him suddenly regretted it secretly, thinking that today's bleeding is definitely essential, but this person robbed the first prize. Yuan Chongshang must take care of this person in the future. At that time, several people yelled to donate. Lu Lengyue raised her hand and said, "Don't worry, since they all have this intention, the matter is settled." He said to Yuan Chongshang: "Governor, everyone is willing to give their heart to the court. It is better to let the people of the Ministry of Revenue Department turn back and take a good look at the number of donations from each household, and register it at that time, so that it will not be messy."

Yuan Chongshang nodded with a smile and said, "This is the best way for Lu Dong's family, just do it."

Lu Lengyue smiled and said, "Sir, as the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. Silver is naturally indispensable as military resources. However, letting the soldiers have enough food is the top priority. Lu is not talented and is willing to raise food and grass for the adults. The more food and grass, the better. Lu will do his best to raise food and grass everywhere to prepare for the adults' needs!"
