Chapter 228: Inviting guests and friends
"Come on, Liu, I wish you a drink!"
Liu Yi stood next to the main seat in the main hall, raising his glass to toast the guests around him. Lao Liu was also sitting in a wheelchair and raising his glass with him.
"Sometimes ago, my father unfortunately encountered an accident in the county town. Thanks to the help of all the uncles and brothers, Liu thanked everyone here." Liu Yi looked around the crowd on the table, Yang Bofang, Gongsun Wenda, Gongsun Helan, Zhao Kaifang, Zhao Ying, Du Xian, Du Zhigui, and the county magistrate of Sanyuan, Qu Tuzixu.
All four major households and current county magistrates in Sanyuan were invited by Liu Yiu, and Liu Yiu prepared dozens of jars of sake with a certain degree. Today he would not return with these people without getting drunk.
No one knows what medicine is sold in Liu Yipeng, why did he invite them to drink at this time? If he said thank you wine, why wasn't it when he just came back from Jiangnan?
Moreover, half of them seemed to have nothing to do with this matter. They just gave a polite gift after Lao Liu's leg was injured.
Among all the people sitting there, only the two old men Yang Bofang and Gongsun Wuda who knew Liu Yi had a little idea, and Liu Yi was probably going to take action.
Liu Yi raised his neck and poured the wine down, and then ordered someone to fill the wine glass.
"Thank you, Brother Yang, Brother Gongsun, and all the men," Liu Laoshi raised his glass and said with a rare glass: "Especially the magistrate of Qutu, if it weren't for your fair judgment that day, the lives of the villain would not be saved."
Lao Liu's tone was very sincere, to be honest and honest, especially after he learned about Wu Zuijian's identity, he was even more grateful for Qu Tuzixu's verdict. Not only did he avoid the head-on conflict between the Liu family and the Hou family, but he also fairly obtained thirty coins for him.
But when Lao Liu's truth and truth were heard in Qu Tuzixu's ears, they were sarcastic words. Qu Tuzixu's half face turned red.
It seems that he really shouldn't have come today, but he doesn't believe it. Liu Yi invited him specifically just to shame him and laugh at him?
Everyone present knew what happened to Lao Liu, but no one said anything, because if they were in Qu Tuzixu's position, they would probably do this themselves, and no one would be willing to offend a power for a civilian.
Most of the people present knew Hou Junji's excellence clearly.
"Old Liu is so serious!" Seeing that Lao Liu poured the wine, Qu Tuzixu also brought the glass to Lao Liu and signaled him to him, tilting his neck to drink. Today he was willing to come here, so he was mentally prepared. He did not ask Liu Yi to forgive him, but asked Liu Yi not to deal with him sincerely.
Although Liu Yi is a civilian, Qu Tuzixu knew that if Liu Yi made up his mind, he would probably not be able to live in Sanyuan.
Liu Yi looked at Lao Liu with admiration. He didn't expect that Lao Liu could say such a high-level words.
Seeing Qu Tuzixu's old face half red and half green, Liu Yi chuckled and no longer felt embarrassed with him. He sat down, glanced at the eight old and young people sitting, and said with a smile: "I'm going to come today, I have no other intentions, I just thank you. So you don't have to be restrained, just eat and drink as much as you want."
Liu Yi winked at Liu Wuchen on the side. Liu Wuchen understood and turned around and ordered someone to take the sake he had prepared in advance. In front of each person, a jar of three kilograms of clear sprinkles was placed.
"Today, we won't go back if we are drunk!" Liu Yiuan reached out and picked up the jar in front of him, opened the wax seal on it, and said to the old and young people sitting.
"Okay! I won't go back if I'm drunk, brother, I'll accompany you!" Gongsun Helan stood up first, opened the wine jar, and raised it to Liu Yi, which was very irritating.
At the critical moment, this brother was the only one who could stand up the most. Liu Yi looked at Gongsun Helan and chuckled. This brother was not in vain.
"Hey, how can you drink without orders? You nephew, why don't we make a order of orders?" Although I don't know what medicine Liu Yi sold, Liu Yi wanted to get everyone drunk, but Gongsun Wenda saw it and stood up with a smile and helped Liu Yiyi.
Drinking is a common way of helping wine, whether it is a literati or a samurai. Therefore, when Gongsun Wenda talked about it, most people who were sitting also agreed.
"Drinking order? Haha," Liu Yi chuckled, looked at Gongsun Wenda, and said, "Then according to Uncle Gongsun's wishes, let's just do a frog fall into the water order."
It will be interesting to play with ten people together.
Liu You couldn't help but remember the situation when he and Gongsun Helan and Li Rusi counted frogs last time in "Qingfeng Pavilion". It was very lively and the wine was very fast.
After briefly explaining the rules of drinking orders to Gongsun Wenda and the others, ten people counted the legs of frogs in the living room.
"A frog has a mouth, two eyes and four legs, jumping into the water with a thump!"
"Two frogs have two mouths, four eyes and eight legs, "plop" and "plop" jump into the water!"
...
"Eleven frogs and eleven mouths, twenty-two eyes and forty-four legs, 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop', 'plop',
...
After walking three or four circles, except Liu Yi can count to thirteen frogs, others fell down at most when they counted to twelve.
The atmosphere at the banquet also became lively with this unique wine. Ten people counted the frogs together, drank, drank, counted the frogs, and counted the afternoon.
I looked at the sky outside. The sun had already set in the west, and the sky to the west was dyed red by the setting sun.
Liu Yiu looked at everyone sitting again. Except for Liu Laoshi, who was the most drunk, he was pushed to the backyard to rest early, and everyone else was still sitting at the table, but they were already 80% drunk, and many people began to talk nonsense.
"Okay, I'll be full of wine and food. Let's go here today," Liu Yiu also shook his head, shook off some drunkenness in his mind, and stood up with a smile to Gongsun Wuda, Qu Tuzixu and the others, "Thank you, uncles and brothers, for being able to come to Liu's place today. It's getting late today, so let's stay in the humble house for the time being. Wuchen, I'll send some masters and young masters to the backyard room to rest."
"Yes, young master." Liu Wuchen bent over and answered, and then led a few servants to help everyone who had already been drunk and dizzy to the backyard of Liu's mansion.
"Young Master, everything has been arranged." After a while, Liu Wuchen came back and reported to Liu Yi, then looked up at Liu Yi, and said, "I don't know what the young master plans to do next?"
"Do nothing," Liu raised his arms and yawned, saying to Liu Wuchen: "Lying on the bed and sleeping."
Then, after all night, Liu Yi returned to the room and slept all night.
The next day, the hangover masters and young masters had just gotten up from the bed and gathered in the Liu family hall for breakfast again. A news came from the county's yamen that Qu Tuzixu was transferred from outside.
Moreover, the place where he was transferred was a small county in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty. The transfer order is now in the county government office.
After hearing this, Qu Tuzixu's face suddenly disappeared. After looking at Liu Yi with a complicated expression, he hurriedly led the yamen runner back. There was still a commissioner in the county yamen who was sending the order, waiting for him to receive it.
"Yi, this...?" Yang Bofang glanced at Liu Yi. Hasn't he agreed to stop asking Qu Tu to do anything? Why?
"Uncle Yang," Liu Yi looked at Yang Bofang and others who looked at him with the same eyes, and smiled bitterly: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I really never thought about dealing with the magistrate of Qu Tu County. You know, the Qu Tu family also has great kindness to our Liu family. How could I, Liu Yi, do such ungrateful things for some small things that are not good?"
Liu Yi was also surprised that Qu Tuzixu was transferred from outside, but he soon thought of the reason. This is probably the role of his "Liu Family Fat House"? If so, then this effect would be too small.
The abandoned the car to protect the coach. It seems that the famous lord Li Shimin attaches great importance to Wu Zuijian. Thinking of this, Liu Yi couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
"Well," Yang Bofang nodded gently, looking at Liu Yi's expression. This matter may really have nothing to do with him.
"Uncle Yang," Gongsun Helan interrupted, "Don't say that the eldest brother wouldn't do this, in fact, he did it really, so what? Could it be that if Qu Tuzixu had such an end, shouldn't it?"
Gongsun Helan had long been unable to bear to see Qu Tugan's actions that day. If it weren't for the old man watching him, he would have fought with Wu Zuijian at that time.
Seeing that the eldest brother's father was trampled on and misjudged, Gongsun Helan felt a fire burning in his heart.
"Shut up!" Gongsun Wenda glared at their son fiercely. How could such words be said in front of so many people? Isn't this a careless person?
