Today, Mi Heng is dressed in extraordinary clothes and looks free and easy, completely unable to see the tragic situation that Lu Xuan dealt with before.
When Mi Heng walked to the gate, he stopped and did not speak. He just bowed his hands to Liu Qi and Lu Xuan and continued walking forward. Moreover, when Mi Heng looked at Lu Xuan, his eyes were a little strange, and there was even more expression on his face.
A weird smile.
Then, Mi Heng strode into the mansion.
This scene surprised both Lu Xuan and Liu Qi.
Liu Qi looked surprised and said: "Brother, is this You Heng? He is arrogant and self-righteous. This time, he took the initiative to smile at you. Could it be that he was moved by what you did and decided to change his ways?
No."
Lu Xuan said: "Maybe."
In his heart, he cheered up.
Something is wrong with Mi Heng. Lu Xuan arranged for Mi Heng to have people throw excrement at her, and Lu Xuan also attacked her. How could you come to show your kindness?
"Are you going to make trouble at the banquet?"
Lu Xuan made a guess in his mind.
Lu Xuan smiled in his heart.
If Lu Xuan didn't have any connections or foundation when he first arrived in Xiangyang, and Mi Heng, as a famous scholar in Xiangyang, had launched an attack, Lu Xuan might have been in trouble. But now, he is Liu Biao's savior, Liu Biao, the Cai family, the Kuai family, and even the Pang family.
Everyone is on his side, and Lu Xuan is not worried at all.
Lu Xuan and Liu Qi continued to welcome the guests, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Huang Chengyan and others all arrived.
After almost all the guests arrived, Lu Xuan and Liu Qi returned to the hall.
Liu Qi's position was relatively far back, but Lu Xuan was different. His position was actually at the first place on the left, making him Liu Biao's most important guest.
When Lu Xuan sat down, he could feel the eyes of people in the hall looking over him.
Many people had scrutinizing eyes.
Many people are even more jealous.
Lu Xuan didn't care at all. When he glanced over, he saw Liu Pan in the middle of the first row on the right. Their eyes collided. Liu Pan's eyes were cold and solemn. A pair of eyes flashed with strong hostility.
Lu Xuan looked at Mi Heng's position again. He was in the middle of the second row on the right. Mi Heng and Lu Xuan's eyes met, and they looked calm and relaxed. They couldn't tell that they were humiliated that day, but Lu Xuan was.
Be more vigilant.
A biting dog does not bark.
Mi Heng looks like such a dog today.
"Master Zhou Mu has arrived."
A shout came out, and everyone looked towards the door of the hall. Liu Biao, wearing thick brocade clothes and a Jinxian crown on his head, strode in. He was in great spirits today, and there was no sign that he had fainted yesterday.
.
Liu Biao strode over and sat down at the main seat. He looked around at the people attending the banquet and saw each person, feeling happy and proud.
Liu Biao picked up the wine glass prepared in front of him and said loudly: "I am fifty-two years old this year, and my life is seventy years old. At my age, I have already known my destiny, and I can be considered to have a long life. I appreciate you all, please join me."
I would like to thank you all for your birthday banquet, and please enjoy your drink."
He picked up the wine bottle and toasted everyone.
One by one, the guests attending the banquet picked up their wine bottles and greeted him in return.
Liu Biao said some more face-saving words, and the banquet officially started. Guests toasted to Liu Biao one after another, and some toasted to each other and chatted.
The atmosphere gradually became warmer.
At this time, Liu Pan stood up, walked to the hall, cupped his hands and said: "It's my uncle's birthday today, and my nephew is here to congratulate my uncle on his birthday. Thanks to my uncle's support, my nephew is now here. I prepared a birthday gift for him."
uncle."
"Someone, bring it up."
Liu Pan gave an order.
The attendant handed over a brocade box, and Liu Pan took it in his hand. He walked to Liu Biao, put the brocade box on the desk, and said, "My uncle likes wine and drinks, so my nephew prepared a pair of jade cups. This is
Carved from top-grade jade, the texture is excellent and the hand feels more delicate."
Liu Biao opened the box, looked at the pair of jasper cups in the box, smiled on his face, and said, "I like it very much, you are interested."
Liu Qi glanced at Liu Pan and stood up.
He also prepared congratulatory gifts.
However, Liu Pan did not follow the rules and actually stood up to give gifts first. Liu Qi was not happy and did not say anything more.
Liu Qi then stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Father, my son has also prepared a gift. It is a word from the Jingzhou scholars to their father. They are all grateful to their father for implementing benevolent policies and stabilizing Jingzhou, so that they can enjoy their lives in Jingzhou."
"Bring it in!"
Liu Qi gave an order.
An attendant came in carrying a very long scroll, which was made of fine silk for easy preservation.
Liu Cong took the silk scroll, walked to Liu Biao, and said: "Father, my son visited some scholars. These Jingzhou scholars are very grateful to their father and congratulate him on his birthday."
In this era, living to be over fifty is considered a long life, and being seventy is relatively rare.
Seventy years of life are rare throughout the ages, that's how it is.
He is eighty or ninety years old and can be called auspicious.
Liu Biao opened the scroll and looked at the words of congratulations left by each scholar in the scroll. His old face relaxed and showed a look of joy. He looked at Liu Qi with a look of relief in his eyes.
His stupid son actually got the idea.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Liu Biao said three words in a row and praised: "I like this gift from my son very much. You did a good job."
Liu Qi said humbly: "My father has given me an award. This is all due to my father's benevolent government. All the scholars are willing to write a message."
Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Qi stood below and suddenly felt a little emotional. Thanks to him following Lu Xuan's suggestion and marrying the Cai family, the Cai family gave them their full support and helped him prepare this gift. If the Cai family hadn't helped him, he would have given him something simple as he thought.
The jade is definitely embarrassing.
All this is thanks to Lu Xuan.
After Liu Qi gave gifts, Liu Cong and other children also started giving gifts, but they were all ordinary.
When Liu Pan saw that the Liu family members had finished giving gifts, he suddenly turned his eyes and landed on Lu Xuan. With a smile on his lips, he said: "Uncle, we are all your relatives, but there are some relatives in the hall who are not relatives.
Dear ones."
"For example, Lujiang Prefect Lu Xuan calls you uncle, and we are very close to you. I think today Prefect Lu also prepared a gift for my father. I wonder what Prefect Lu has prepared?"
Liu Biao followed him with his eyes.
The other people under Liu Biao's command, as well as the scholars and guests, all looked at Lu Xuan.
Wait for Lu Xuan to speak.
Liu Pan looked half-smiling but not smiling, rather proud. Lu Xuan suddenly encountered him and challenged him. Even if Lu Xuan prepared ordinary gifts, could he be able to enter the elegant hall?
With Zhuyu in front of him, Lu Xuan would definitely be embarrassed.
Let you, Lu Xuan, poach my people.
Let you, Lu Xuan, take away Huang Zhong.
Is it possible for you to poach Liu Pan’s people? Even if they are not used in Xiangyang, they will not be given to you.
Liu Biao had a very good impression of Lu Xuan, and he believed that Lu Xuan had gifts. Even so, in order to avoid Lu Xuan's embarrassment, Liu Biao said with a smile: "Nephew Lu Xian came from Lujiang County to attend the birthday banquet, and I was very happy. People are here,
It’s just the biggest congratulatory gift, I don’t care about congratulatory gifts or anything like that.”
Liu Pan's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
Liu Biao turned to Lu Xuan.
It is really hateful that you treat an outsider with all your heart and soul, but leave me alone.
Liu Pan became more and more angry and angry. He looked at Lu Xuan again and said directly: "Is it possible that Grand Administrator Lu didn't prepare any gifts when he came to attend my uncle's banquet? At any rate, my uncle has directly allocated funds for disaster relief for Lujiang County.
, to help Lujiang County solve its difficulties."
Lu Xuan looked at Liu Pan jumping up and down, smiled softly, and stood up directly.
