Chapter 125 Banquet, Farewell

After Wei Yan and Dian Wei packed up their makeup, they followed the housekeeper to the banquet hall. In addition to Wei Yan and Dian Wei, there were Hu Guang and his sons at this banquet. The housekeeper knocked on the door: "Two heroes, the master has invited you. Are you two ready? If you are OK, I will take you to the banquet." Wei Yan had already packed up, Dian Wei was not ready yet, so Wei Yan said: "Okay old brother, please wait for a moment, and I will come soon." A few minutes later, the two were finally ready. Wei Yan pushed open the door and saw the housekeeper standing with his hands hanging down. After Wei Yan and Dian Wei met the housekeeper, the housekeeper reached out and said, "Two heroes, please!" Wei Yan and Dian Wei must give in, let's talk about two more.

People don’t know the way. The housekeeper’s behavior is actually just a manifestation of cultivation. If you really go to the front, it can only prove that you are a barbarian. Etiquette is basic in this kind of family. Fortunately, Chen Xiang specially trained the other people in etiquette. Even Xi Zhicai’s understanding of etiquette is far less than that of Chen Xiang. After all, at the beginning, Chen Fan was an excellent housekeeper in the training of Chen Xiang. Later, after having a strategic consensus with Dou Wu to eliminate eunuchs, he invited all the martial arts scholars to Chen Xiang as a teacher, including Shi Ah we mentioned earlier, and as a housekeeper, he had to assist the master’s daily life and some necessary etiquette guidance, because both Chen Xiang and Chen Yi had suffered a lot since childhood.

At that time, most children were playful and were bothered by learning the cumbersome etiquette from the slightest. When everyone was tired of letting go, wouldn’t they have to beat them if they couldn’t persuade them? Sometimes corporal punishment was not a problem of simple barbaric teaching for some people. Just like those who learned martial arts in the end, they had no waves in their hearts. When they arrived at that state, they were a kind of muscle consciousness. Muscle consciousness could also be said to be a kind of subconsciousness. For example, when they saw chopsticks and spoons, they knew how to grasp them. Although there were some previous training, they naturally knew how to do so later.

I personally think that since it existed in ancient China for thousands of years, it must be reasonable. Otherwise, from our perspective, the ancients were not stupid. If there was no benefit of corporal punishment, the ancients would not have been able to continue it. It was like a lion in a circus. The one who asked him to jump into the fire circle was not a word from a beast trainer. Sometimes he didn't know what language you were talking about, but the real useful one was the whip. If the whip didn't hit the body and just hit the ground, he knew that this was a signal of jumping into the fire circle. Muscle memory was so simple.

(Muscle Memory, the muscles of the human body have memory effects. After repeated the same movement many times, the muscles will form conditioned reflexes. The human body's muscles acquire memory very slowly, but once they are obtained, the speed of forgetting is also very slow. People may have had this experience. When you reach a certain circumference or strength level, it is much easier to return to the level at that time after a period of suspension of training for a period of time than to practice at that level at the beginning. You may have tried to reach 120 kg through several years of hard work, but after a few months of suspension of training, you may only need to practice continuously for a few months or less to return to the level at the level at the time. Therefore, even if you stop training for a few months, you can return to the level at the time in a short time. If you try your best to recall the songs after many years of childhood, it may not be effective, but relax and let your fingers control you slowly find the feeling.)

Although the etiquette of the two people is still clumsy, they are still very good. They walk behind the housekeeper without saying a silent and bow their heads. Everything here is mainly low-key, trying to pretend to be a country villager who has never seen the world. In literary works, Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden. Your etiquette is definitely not as good as those in the mansion, so you can appropriately sell ugly and clumsy. That is a kind of wisdom. When the two entered the banquet hall, Hu Guang was not there, but at this moment, Hu Guang's sons were all here. There are four in total: Hu Jin, whose courtesy name is Baiqi. Hu Wei (also known as Hu Zi), whose courtesy name is Qianyi. Hu Ning, whose courtesy name is Zhiwei. Hu Shuo, whose courtesy name is Ji Rui. Dian Wei and Wei Yan met these four people and bowed to them, but Wei Yan and Dian Wei were very dissatisfied with the four people now. Each of them was either sick or eyed.

The spirit was gloomy and it was not as good as Chen Yi's bright eyes. Dian Wei and Wei Yan always felt uncomfortable after staying with these four people for a long time. The two could only ask the housekeeper next to him: "When will the Grand Tutor Hu come?" The housekeeper said, "You may not know that although our master is already old, there is still an old mother in the hall. The master goes to visit the old lady every day before coming. Please be careful not to be impatient. The distinguished guest will wait for a moment." Wei Yan and Dian Wei realized at this time that the current Grand Tutor Hu Guang is still alive. I heard that this is the stepmother now. Hu Guang asks good morning and good night every day. Whether it is from sincerity or form, Hu Guang's entire spiritual quality will be improved, and others' evaluation of him will also be raised to a great level.

The four sons on the dining table began to interrogate Wei Yan and Dian Wei, and all of them made Wei Yan and Dian Wei get away with it. The joke is, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if these four wastes can get all the words out? (Spoiler in advance, these four people have no use at all, so they just mentioned their image as planned. I was too lazy to describe them in detail). When the two sides were playing Tai Chi with each other like this, a cough sounded, and everyone shut up. Everyone knew that the real owner of this family came, and Hu Guang walked in with an unhappy look because he saw his four waste snack sons talking to his two benefactors with a cross-examination look. He really couldn’t get over the face, so he pretended to be uncomfortable and coughed when he came in.

The eldest son Hu Zheng asked, "Father, are you okay in your health?" Hu Guang snorted, "Don't worry, I can't die!" The eldest son stopped talking after being blocked, and the other few dared to get up even more when they saw that the elder brother suffered a loss. Hu Guang was even more dissatisfied. Wei Yan and Dian Wei saw that it was their turn at this time. Wei Yan and Dian Wei hurriedly said, "Wei Yan (Dian Wei) had met the Grand Tutor!" After saying that, he bent down to salute. Hu Guang saw the two of them immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hey, I dare not accept the two benefactors.

With such a great gift, get up quickly, don’t let me get rid of it.” He helped Wei Yan and Dian Wei up, but in fact he made a gesture. Those who knew etiquette naturally got up by themselves. After that, Hu Guang returned to his own seat with the help of two housekeepers. On one side were Wei Yan and Dian Wei, and on the other side were Hu Guang’s four sons. At this time, the banquet was not a big table, each with a small table and a seat, but he had to kneel, so he might not be able to eat very comfortably when he encountered a banquet, because it was really uncomfortable to kneel down.

Hu Guang first picked up the cup: "This banquet is all for thanking the life-saving grace of Wei and Dian Zhuangshi the day before yesterday. I would like to pay a cup to the two heroes first! Come!" Everyone raised their glasses, and Wei Yan and Dian Wei refused again: "It is difficult for vulgar people in the mountains and fields to enter the elegant hall. It is natural for human beings to save the Taifu. I also thank the Taifu for his warm hospitality for my brothers these two days. I was so frightened that I should not bear some small contributions in my heart." I would like to drink this cup, after three rounds of wine, and after five flavors of food, Wei Yan and Dian Wei finally made a request to say goodbye. What happened? Let's talk about it next time.
