Liu Muzhi smiled slightly, turned to look at the Jiang brothers in the main hall behind him, who were all covered in silk and satin, and said with a smile: "There are too many unexpected things today, one after another, so I have no chance to introduce the real owner.
Everyone, today’s banquet is for my two brothers-in-law, and it’s even more for a woman. Do you know what day today is?”
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and the Jiang brothers turned pale all of a sudden, and they froze in place. Jiang Qianwen looked a little nervous, but then she smiled with relief: "You may not know, twenty
Three years ago today, it was my husband who came home and told me that from now on he would leave me and my newborn child, join the army, serve the country, and make contributions."
Liu Muzhi turned around, looked at Jiang Qianwen, and said seriously: "Madam is right, twenty-three years ago was when I, Liu Muzhi, really started to enter the world and start my career. From now on, I am no longer the lazy person.
Fatty Liu was wasting his time in Jingkou, but he was Liu Muzhi, a scholar who wanted to stand out and make contributions. In the past twenty-three years, I have spent far more time away from home than at home.
Madam’s support, you are my strongest backing. I, Liu Muzhi, am what I am today, all because of Madam! Please accept my worship.”
As he spoke, he bowed his head to Jiang Qianwen solemnly to his waist. This was considered the most noble etiquette among scholars. Jiang Qianwen's eyes were filled with tears. Liu Muzhi, who was usually very cool and even liked to joke, was puzzled.
Liu Muzhi, who only cares about food and drink, and has treated her like a guest for decades, and has not even talked about love, would actually pay such a grand tribute to a woman like herself in front of all the scholars in the world today.
, how can she not let the tears of happiness flow freely on her face now?
Liu Muzhi and Jiang Qianwen's three sons, Liu Luzhi, Liu Shizhi and Liu Zhenzhi, all knelt down and saluted their parents respectively. This family that had been separated for many years finally reunited at this banquet today.
, even the guests in the hall were all sighing. It turned out that behind Liu Muzhi's current power, he had to make such sacrifices for his family, and Jiang Qianwen, the daughter of a scholar, had been supporting him for decades.
The important reason for Liu Muzhi's success.
After Liu Muzhi finished the ceremony, he looked at the Jiang brothers who were also wiping their tears and excited for their sister's happiness. He smiled slightly: "The second person I want to respect is my father-in-law. I, Liu Muzhi, couldn't do it back then."
A Jingkou farmer who didn’t know any high-ranking officials, but my late father-in-law, took a fancy to me at a glance among the crowd, and married his wife despite the criticism and even ridicule of the noble families in the world at that time.
You gave me the most precious thing in my life. When I, Liu Muzhi, finally made up my mind to join the army and serve the country, it was also because of the encouragement and guidance of my father-in-law, for which I am grateful for my whole life!"
He looked at the Jiang brothers and bowed seriously: "My father-in-law is no longer alive, but my two brothers-in-law are still here. This bow is for him as well as the Jiang family. Please accept my respect!"
He knelt down respectfully and began to bow down to the Jiang brothers. The Jiang brothers were at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to do until Liu Muzhi stood up.
Shaking his head: "Brother-in-law, your gift is too heavy. Even if my late father is here, he probably won't be able to bear it. And as far as I know, my late father did not recommend you to other aristocratic families back then. You are
I surrendered myself to the army and worked hard for myself."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Didn't my late father-in-law invite many high-ranking families to my aunt's wedding banquet that year and prepare to formally recommend me to the major families? Have you two brothers-in-law forgotten this?"
The faces of the Jiang brothers suddenly changed. They quickly put down their wine glasses and saluted together: "Brother-in-law, please calm down. I was instigated by an adulterer back then and embarrassed you in public, ruining my father's plan and ruining your future.
It's our fault. Please take into account our youth and ignorance at the time, take care of my sister's efforts over the years, and take care of my late father, please let us go."
Jiang Qianwen stood up and said sternly: "You know you were wrong now? Have you ever apologized to your brother-in-law in the past few decades? Your brother-in-law doesn't trust him and wants to be jealous. He doesn't listen to his father and wants to destroy his.
How did your brother-in-law repay you for your behavior? If it had been anyone else, let alone revenge, he would have at least cut off all contact with the Jiang family, and even divorced me. But he, in turn, would have served you in the army, served the country, and been promoted.
Opportunity, I don’t know how to cherish this brother-in-law, how do you feel now?”
The Jiang brothers were blushing, and they dared not speak again. After Jiang Qianwen finished lecturing the two brothers, she turned to kneel down to Liu Muzhi, saluted formally and said: "Husband, the two of them ruined your future and ruined your life. This mistake
It's too big and they can't make up for it. I'm their eldest sister. If you really want to take revenge today, just take it out on me. No matter what decision you make, I won't complain."
Liu Muzhi looked solemn and nodded: "I have endured this tone for twenty-three years. I have spent these twenty-three years forgetting food and sleep, working day and night, just to tell the whole world one thing. It is not to prove that I, Liu Muzhi,
How powerful and awesome I am, but I want to tell the world that if others take away or destroy my things, I will take them all back myself!"
Liu Yu was excited. The scene back then was vivid in his mind. He said loudly: "Well said! Fatty, do you still remember what we sang back then?"
Liu Muzhi laughed loudly: "I will never forget it in my next life. You are riding in the car, and I am wearing a hat. When we meet one day, I get off the car and bow to you. You are carrying the scorpion, and I am astride the horse. When we meet one day, I will ride down for you. The green mountains will not change the green water, and the water will flow.
There are fish and dragons in the ordinary alleys. One day, I encounter wind and clouds, and I can swim in the eight wilderness and six places."
He and Liu Yu were holding hands and singing loudly like they did back then, with tears in their eyes. This Yue song that everyone in the land of Wu and Yue would sing, now these two have worked hand in hand for a lifetime and finally gained power.
Singing it in the mouth of the victor in his hand, in front of a palace full of high-ranking nobles who had trampled on him and looked down upon him, was such a relief, and it suited the occasion, and he had been depressed for decades.
The anger he was holding was finally released at this moment. Even many officers and soldiers of the Beifu Army standing outside in the courtyard felt the same way and sang loudly together.
After singing the song, Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi laughed loudly. Liu Yu patted the back of Liu Muzhi's fat hand: "It's so happy, so happy. Fatty, your resentment has been expressed today. I think that's the end of it."
."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "When you are full of wine and food, you must eat some fruits to help digestion. Come on, bring some betel nuts!"
