The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Shitou rushed in from outside the house and came to Lao Zhao and Li Fu.

"My dear, Uncle Zhao, the carriages of the gentlemen from Chang'an City have arrived at the intersection." Shitou said, "The people who were waiting there in advance should have met them by now and are leading them to the new house."

"Okay, I know, I will go to greet them too." Li Fu responded.

After Li Fu finished speaking, he thought about it.

"You two come with me."

As for Lao Zhao's matter, we have to study it after lunch today.

Lao Zhao told him that he understood.

He didn't understand a thing.

A man in his forties is looking for a partner, and it's the first time for a young lady to get on a sedan chair.

Back then, Lao Zhao was also a famous handsome man in the villages, but twenty years have passed, and time is not forgiving.

Now that there is a clue, he must seize this opportunity.

Still think he is young and strong.

Some things have a lot to do with age.

If you don't work hard now, you will be unable to do it when you get older.

Li Fu took Shitou and Lao Zhao to the door and waited for the distinguished guests.

The doorman at the door also stood respectfully behind his husband.

Not long after, the carriage team arrived at the door of the new house.

Although there were carriages behind them, everyone rode on horseback when they came.

The carriages were prepared for drinking.

Your Majesty gave them a day to rest. After eating here today, even if they were drunk, they had to return to Chang'an City in the afternoon.

After a night of sobering up, they still had to attend the morning court as usual tomorrow morning.

The people who came, carriages, servants, and guards were all brought in order to prepare for today's meal.

Coming all the way from Chang'an, eating was secondary. The main thing was Li Fu's housewarming celebration. They had to show up for emotional and rational reasons.

Even the emperor and his majesty came, so of course they had to come too.

On weekdays, they had a good relationship with each other and were basically regular guests in the small circle of Liangyi Hall.

When they arrived at the gate, everyone dismounted, and Li Fu stepped forward and greeted everyone with a bow.

Everyone also bowed in return.

"Your Highness, you have moved into a new house, which is a cause for celebration."

"Excuse me, excuse me." Li Fu laughed.

Cheng Yaojin looked up at the gate of Li Fu's new house.

"After all, it is more magnificent than the old house, and more exquisite than the Jingyang Palace in Chang'an City."

In terms of regulations, the house here is not as good as the Jingyang Palace in Chang'an City, but within the regulations of the county prince, this house is also top-notch.

Although there are regulations for the construction of the house, there are not so detailed regulations for the interior decoration, decoration, and mess.

But in fact, these are the most expensive.

Li Fu was not short of money.

When Yan Lide was in charge of building this house, he was like a fish in water.

He had never fought such a rich war.

There was no upper limit to the budget, so let's build it.

Li Fu and everyone else entered the house together. In the hall, Li Shao had already arranged everything. Seeing that everyone had come to the front yard, she also went out to the yard to meet everyone.

Both sides greeted each other.

If Li Shao was not the Princess of Jingyang, she would have to call Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others uncles when she met them.

Marrying into the Jingyang Palace, even the seniority was raised.

It is said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Li Shao became the Princess of Jingyang, and Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others would also have to pay respects to Li Shao when they saw her.

Everyone entered the hall.

The wine and water utensils were already placed on the table. As for the dishes, they would not be served until everyone was seated.

Li Shao was the only female family member, and it was not convenient for her to be present at the table, so after saying a few words to Li Fu, she apologized and left.

When they came to the back house, Li Shao asked Xiao Tao to pay attention to the movements in the front hall. If the gentlemen in the front hall had almost finished drinking, they should arrange for someone to take good care of them.

Xiao Tao responded.

Xiao Tao had always been serving Li Fu, and it was normal for her to wait by the table.

The kitchen began to busy itself with cooking and serving dishes.

Cold dishes were the most convenient, so they could be served directly. After the guests were seated, the hot dishes were put into the pot.

This ensured that the dishes served were all hot from the pot.

In another courtyard of the kitchen, the big pot meal was still being cooked, but not many people came today. They were just the servants who came to the farm with the gentlemen, with a total of only a few dozen people. Compared with the previous day, when there were thousands of people, today's big pot meal was much easier.

In the kitchen, Liu Niang did not personally take part in the cooking. She just cleaned the drains with the Yang family's eldest lady, dried them, and sent them to the kitchen.In the kitchen.

Two people were in the kitchen, one directing the cook to work, and the other helping.

The kitchen was busy.

Fried liver, fried large intestine, and kidney, one dish after another came out of the pot, and then the maids and servants carried it to the hall.

In the hall, although there were only cold dishes on the table, the banquet had already begun.

"Drinking in Chang'an City, no one's home is as enjoyable as drinking in Huairen's home." Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "Even at home, there is no."

"You are saying this, I'm afraid you don't want to give up the good wine stored in your cellar? You want to go to Huairen to get money." Yuchi Jingde didn't indulge Cheng Yaojin, and directly exposed his thoughts.

Wude wine is a hot commodity. This time I got a truck of wine and brought it back to the house. I don't know when I can buy it next time.

It's too difficult to order from the workshop.

So when you buy it back home, you should store it in the cellar.

As for the wine, you can go to any house to get it.

But to put it bluntly, no house is better than Li Fu's.

After all, his family never lacks this wine.

Even if the wine in the workshop is not sold outside, it must be supplied to their master in sufficient quantity.

"You, Yuchi Laohei!" Cheng Yaojin began to blow his beard and glare.

"Hahaha, okay, don't talk about this for now, we are here today to celebrate Huairen's housewarming." Fang Xuanling said.

"Yes, yes, thank you gentlemen for coming, my humble home is honored." Li Fu picked up the wine glass: "Come on, everyone, let's drink this cup."

"Come on, cheers!"

"Cheers."

Everyone raised their glasses to indicate, and then drank the wine in the glass.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone started talking and the atmosphere became more lively.

As he was talking, Li Fu mentioned the matter of the Japanese envoys.

"There are two students of the Japanese envoys in the Imperial Academy now." Fang Xuanling said, "Kong Yingda is responsible for teaching them. I think Dr. Kong knows the situation, and before that, His Majesty summoned the relevant personnel in the Liangyi Hall."
