Stroke 043: The family banquet of the Dongfang family
Chapter 043: Dongfang Family’s Family Banquet
Although the Dongfang family is a big family, there are not many core members.
Dongfang Yong's grandmother is not in Bauhinia City, only his grandfather. There are two in the second generation of the Dongfang family. His father is the eldest son, the third generation is Dongfang Yong, and the second uncle's two children are Dongfang Ming and Dongfang Yu.
Therefore, including Dongfang Yong's mother Yue Ya and his second aunt, his family has a total of eight people.
Although there are only eight people, they rarely eat together. Dongfang Yong always eats in his own yard.
Now Yue Ya came to tell Dongfang Yong that his grandfather asked them all to go to the hall for dinner, which surprised Dongfang Yong slightly.
Then he thought about today's matter about Prince Qin's Mansion. Did he have something to say?
With such doubts, Dongfang Yong was forced by his mother to wash his face, change his clothes, and then walked toward the hall with his mother and Dongfang Yu.
The hall has the style of a large family. First of all, it is very large in area. It is very easy to place five hundred tables here. It is no smaller than the Qin Prince's Palace.
Although it is large, it does not look empty. The straightly aligned pillars faintly divide the hall into several areas. Each area is decorated with coffee tables and chairs, as well as flower pots and antiques!
In the middle of the hall, a large table has been set up. Before grandpa, father and uncle arrived, the second aunt Huang Shaoqiu and Dongfang Ming were already sitting on the chairs on both sides of the coffee table.
The servants are bringing ordinary delicacies to the table one after another!
Huang Shaoqiu was also a dignified lady like Yue Ya. When she saw Yue Ya coming in, she stood up gracefully and greeted him.
"Sister-in-law, you're here!" Huang Shaoqiu greeted with a smile.
"Well, I called the two children over by the way. How are the dinner preparations?" Yue Ya smiled kindly at her and asked.
"It's no problem. We can have dinner when the father-in-law and uncle come out." After Huang Shaoqiu finished speaking, he turned to Dongfang Yong.
"Yong'er, have you caused trouble for your mother again today?" She had a reproachful tone towards Dongfang Yong, but there was a hint of pampering in it!
"Ah, Second Aunt, why do you blame me when you see me?" Dongfang Yong scratched the back of his head and muttered.
"Giggle...you!"
"Mother!" Dongfang Yu called out crisply.
"Come on, Yu'er, let me give you a hug!" Huang Shaoqiu opened his hands affectionately, called Dongfang Yu, and hugged each other warmly.
At this time, Huang Shaoqiu turned his head, frowned, and shouted to Dongfang Ming, who was still sitting on the chair: "Ming'er, why don't you say hello to your aunt and brother when you see them?"
Dongfang Ming glanced at Dongfang Yong with disgust, but seeing the anger on his mother's face getting higher and higher, he had no choice but to call out: "Hello, aunt, brother... hello, brother..."
"You!" Huang Shaoqiu was very dissatisfied with his attitude.
"Okay, the child is not sensible yet..." Yue Ya glanced at Dongfang Ming with a smile and said to Huang Shaoqiu.
"I'll talk to him properly later. Sister-in-law, how was going to Prince Qin's Mansion today? How much impact did it have on our family?" Huang Shaoqiu walked over and held Yue Ya's hand, asking softly.
Dongfang Yong watched the two of them leaning together affectionately, walking to the chair on the side, discussing things softly. He pulled Dongfang Yu, walked to the chair on the other side and sat down, pinched a pastry and put it on the table.
He put it into his mouth, and then pinched another one and gave it to Dongfang Yu.
"Brother, I don't want it. Brother, your eating habits are really bad. When you eat, you can't turn your head to the sky and drop the things into your mouth!" Dongfang Yu said with a smile.
"Okay, even you come to talk to me!" Dongfang Yong hit her lightly.
Dongfang Yong is not actually angry, there is more of a slapstick element. He likes the atmosphere of this family very much, it is warm and harmonious, with a strict grandfather and father, a gentle mother and aunt, and a sister and sister who worship him as a hero.
It's all very interesting to think of yourself as the villain's younger brother!
The hall was lit up with lanterns. After Dongfang Yong ate three pieces of pastry and fed Dongfang Yu one, he heard footsteps coming from outside the hall.
Looking back, the tall figures of three men have come into view. They have strong bodies, extremely broad shoulders, and their faces are somewhat similar. The one walking in front is an old man, but he does not look old at all.
The muscles on his dark face are as strong as steel. The man on the left behind him is as rough as the old man. He is a man of steel. Although the man on the right is also tough, he has an air of elegance!
Dongfang Yong naturally recognized them at a glance. The rough guy in front was his grandfather, the rough guy on the left behind was his second uncle, and the handsome guy on the right was his father!
When the three men walked in, they gave people the momentum and pressure of thousands of troops, and the hall fell silent for an instant.
A trace of nervousness flashed in Dongfang Yu's eyes, and he stood up in a ladylike manner, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Dongfang Yong, who was still sitting, biting a piece of green pastry in his mouth, with a look of surprise and admiration in his eyes.
Dongfang Yu twitched his lips, quickly stretched out his pink hands, pulled out the pastry from his mouth, and hurriedly threw it into the plate, then pulled his hand and made him stand up!
Yue Ya and Huang Shaoqiu also stood up, and even the rebellious Dongfang Ming stood up respectfully. After greetings, everyone sat down in their seats, and a dozen servants put the prepared dishes on the table.
Everyone knew that before dinner started, Grandpa, the boss of the Dongfang family, would definitely have something to say. When he heard him cough lightly, everyone pricked up their ears.
"Our Dongfang family is as prosperous and prosperous as it is today because every one of us works together to protect the interests of our Dongfang family!" In the first sentence, he pointed out the core ideas of the Dongfang family and also wanted to warn the whole family.
To keep doing this.
"Today is mid-February, and the war in the south is about to begin again... Amu is at the Ministry of War and must be fully prepared!" Speaking of the war, the old man couldn't help but sigh, and then reminded his two sons.
Dongfang Yong’s father is Dongfang Mu.
"Yes, father!" The handsome old boy Dongfang Mu nodded solemnly.
"Awu is in the military camp and needs to strengthen the training of the soldiers. Once the emperor orders the recovery of the south, or the south comes to attack, your soldiers are my greatest reliance!"
Dongfang Yong’s second uncle is called Dongfang Wu.
"Yes, father, I will definitely not let him down!" Dongfang Wu said with a military temperament.
"Aya continues to manage the household affairs and helps Shaoqiu manage the business affairs..." Grandpa mentioned the tasks of the two daughters-in-law together in one sentence.
It's just different from previous years. In the past, the big one was in charge and the small one was in charge. This year, Dongfang Yong's mother was asked to take care of the business affairs!
But it seemed that they had discussed it among themselves, and speaking out now was just a process, so the two women were not too surprised and respectfully said yes.
"Yu'er is already fourteen years old, and there are still two years before she turns sixteen. In order to succeed in the Contract Book, she went to Jingwu Academy in early March this year to study! The man of my Dongfang family aspires to the battlefield, and he will die there.
Battlefield, Yong and Ming, do you want to go to Jingwu Academy to study, or do you want to go to the military camp to train?"
Grandpa suddenly looked at the three third generations and asked.
