Wang Qilin and Huang Junzi finished talking, and it was getting dark.

It's always dark in winter and it's very early.

Wu Di hung up the lanterns early, and Wang Qilin and others walked in the night and saw a string of red lanterns from afar.

Xu Da asked, "Master Qi, should we tell Wu the words of Xiao Huang?"

Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm just an Iron Guard. I'm in charge of too much and knowing too much may not be a good thing."

Xu Da thought about it and said admiringly: "Seventh Master thought carefully and was right."

Wang Qilin smiled slightly.

Chen Yi said unhappily: "Master Qi, you can't be an emperor in the future. If you become an emperor, you will definitely be a fool."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Wang Qilin jumped in fear, "Why did you suddenly say such a sentence? You can't say this!"

Chen Yi said unconvincedly: "I'm telling the truth, and I can't tell the truth? You see, you like to listen to good things too much. If you become an emperor, you will definitely be a foolish monarch, or a foolish monarch who believes in treacherous slander!"

Wang Qilin frowned and said, "Nonsense, when did I just like to listen to good things? I just like to listen to what Mr. Xu said."

Xu Da hugged Chen Yi's shoulder and said, "The Buddha said, eating randomly has bad belly, talking randomly has bad future. Big troll, don't say anything tonight, do you understand? Your task tonight is to lower your head and eat hard, do you understand?"

Chen Yi said, "Amitabha, the Buddha has never said this. Besides, the monk is just telling the truth."

Xu Dadao: "Can you just tell the truth?"

"Why can't it?"

"Then is it true that you were bald and bald in the Flower Garden? Can I talk about it everywhere?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "The monk only eats and drinks tonight and will never talk nonsense."

Wang Qilin nodded with satisfaction. Xu Da was really his good assistant.

He thought that if he was really the emperor, he would definitely promote Xu Da to become the chief supervisor of the Dazhong.

In the cold sky, the disciples of Tianwu Sect stood outside the door like steel guns, with their faces as iron as iron, and were determined and unyielding.

Wang Qilin admired him and said, "Master Ma, come and see this disciple. We will let the discipline of Tianjian need to be strengthened. Those strong men and You Xing are very dissatisfied. They are like local rats all day long. If you ask them what they do, they will say 'Oh, I'll walk around', which is embarrassing!"

Ma Ming said: "Don't worry, Master Qi, I will start practicing them tomorrow."

Xu Da said: "Fuck it well, look at these disciples, not only are they disciplined, but also have a mental outlook and cultivation level. Haha, this disciple has good training of his chest muscles."

He went up to reach out, and Wu Baoan, a young disciple of Tianwumen, stopped him with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Xu, this is the maid of our mansion."

Xu Da was embarrassed and said, "Hey, why are the weather so dark? The old man didn't see clearly that this was a girl. Sorry, girl, I misunderstood just now. The old man didn't want to tease you, I really don't want to give you a favor."

Wu Jingzhan was also at the door. When he saw them, he smiled and said, "Master Qi, it's time to snow in the evening. Can you drink a drink?"

Wang Qilin clasped his fists at him and said, "I won't go back if I'm not drunk."

Wu Jingzhan laughed loudly and reached out to hold his hand and walked into the yard: "My father just opened a jar of fresh wine, which is the best wine for drinks with friends. Master Qi followed me quickly, I can't wait to drink with you."

Wu family has the custom of having a big banquet for relatives and friends after a snowstorm, so there are a lot of guests coming tonight, and there are so many traffic in front of the door.

Seeing Wu Jingzhan warmly entertaining Wang Qilin, they heard these words together to guess Wang Qilin's identity:

"Who is this young man? The Martial Palace came out to greet him personally. Could it be that the royal family member?"

"It doesn't look like it, maybe it's the elder of the Wu clan? I heard the Wufuwei call him the Seventh Master."

Wudi's reception hall is huge in scale, but there are no tables and chairs placed inside, but there are neatly displayed paint tables and paint tables. The paint tables are made of sandalwood. After careful brushing of tung oil, I don't know how many years have passed. Anyway, patina has been installed, so it looks very old when you look at it.

The back of the paint table is a wooden couch of the same material, covered with thick fur. There is also a screen between the paint table. There is a charming maid and a clever servant at the left and right ends of each table. The specifications are very high.

This was the first time Wang Qilin saw this kind of scene. After he went in, he was a little worried. Maybe he was wearing too casually.

There is a wine-warming instrument on the lacquer table, all of which are made of silver pots, blue enamel. This thing is simply a work of art. The hexagonal surface has a beautiful pattern, the glaze is tight and even, and the temperament is elegant and generous. In the hazy wine, the temperament of the entire banquet hall suddenly becomes.

Wang Qilin was entertained and went to the top. The paint here is the largest, ten feet long and five feet wide. Tiger skin is directly covered on the wooden couch.

Seeing this, he shook his head: "Master Jing, give me some face. I am not at this table, I am with my brothers."

Wu Jingzhan smiled and said, "Master Qi, this table is all our own people. You can do whatever you want at that time. And Ling Gaotang, they are all at this table."

Wang Qilin said helplessly: "Master Jing, don't make such arrangements. My parents, alas, let them sit here, don't talk about food and drink tonight, I'm afraid they won't know when they will faint nervously."

His parents and others arrived later, and as he thought, the group stood at the door with fear, shaking a loss.

Wang Liuqiao asked in a low voice: "Dad, should I take my left foot first or right foot first?"

Wang Liuwu rubbed his shoes and said, "Don't worry about this, just wipe off the mud on his feet."

Then a group of people rubbed their soles at the door.

Wu Jingzhan laughed silently. He understood Wang Qilin's meaning and led the whole family to the corner.

This seems a bit unsovereign, but it is the best arrangement for Wang Liuwu and others. It is unrealistic to let them eat under the noses of everyone. They know that they are rude in eating, so they cannot let go of their hands and feet to eat and drink.

Wang Qilin took people to sit on the table at them so that both sides could take care of each other.

Soon, a hundred people came into the house, most of whom were wearing official uniforms or gorgeous clothes. They were either high-ranking officials or wealthy.

Wang Liuwu was stunned and muttered: "Isn't it a family banquet? Why are so many people coming? If we had known this was a scene, our family wouldn't have come."

Xu Da said: "Uncle, this is a family banquet. You see that these people are all from the Wu family!"

Wang Liuwu was shocked.

Wu Yelan, Wu Junde and a few old men of similar age came, and the people in the room stood up to say hello to them.

An old man with a majestic and steady temperament and a rosy face returned the gift with a reserved gift. Xu Da looked at it and whispered: "The standard of this banquet is not low. He is the leader of the Wu clan, Wu Yide, the leader of the Tianwu Sect, has a high cultivation level and is at the peak of the acquired world."

Wu Yelan turned his head and saw them, and walked over excitedly and asked, "Brother Wang, where is the Taoist priest beside you?"

Wang Qilin said: "Master Xie has anything to do to inquire. After dealing with Liu Bo and Bi Yuewu at Ranta Temple last time, he took a leave and went on a long journey."

Xie Hata went to chase the choke. The old man who was herding sheep said he was helping him deal with Liu Bo. As a result, he was very cunning. He ate and drank enough to run away, and took Zhou Yu and the candidates away.

Wu Yelan was very disappointed: "The old Taoist priest looked like he could drink. I also wanted to try drinking with him tonight!"

Chen Yi said proudly: "Amitabha, the donor wants to find someone to fight for wine?"

Xu Da coughed.

Chen thought of his advice and had to shut up.

Wu Yelan had noticed them, and reached out to grab the shoulders of the two of them and dragged them out: "You two look like you can drink too. Let's have a drink together tonight!"

Wu Yide responded to everyone, and then walked towards Wang Qilin accompanied by Wu Hanlin and Wu Jingzhan.

Wang Qilin stood up and took the initiative to perform the younger generation. Wu Yide smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "This is Lord Wang? Every time Hanlin sees me, he will mention you, and he praises you endlessly, saying that I am the younger generation of Wu, but none of them can look down on you."

"Master Wu is in love." Wang Qilin hurriedly said, "How can I compare to the young talents of the Wu family?"

Wu Yide encouraged him a few more words, and then walked to Wang Liuwu and his wife to greet him.

It can be seen that Wu's emphasis on Wang Qilin. Wu Yide was very polite to Wang Liuwu and his wife. First, ask them if they could adapt to the climate and diet of Pingyang Mansion: "The winter in Pingyang Mansion is cold, you two have to be careful."

Wang Liuwu said excitedly: "Brother, don't worry, brother, I will dig food in the field all my life, and my body is strong. If there weren't any rabbits in this city, I would have to catch two rabbits with such heavy snow today to bring you gifts."

Wu Yide and the people around him laughed, and he asked, "Brother is really good, are you Gui Geng?"

Wang Liuwu said: "I am forty-nine this year, and I will be over fifty years old this year. Where are you, brother?"

Wu Yide fell silent, and Wu Jingzhan next to him whispered: "My grandpa is seventy-five this year..."

This is not a mistake for Wang Liuwu. Wu Yide's hair and beard are all black and rosy, and there are no wrinkles from his forehead to his chin. Some people believe that he is in his forties.

What about Wang Liuwu? In order to feed the mouths of nearly ten people in his family, his face was full of vicissitudes of life with wind and sun, rain and snow. It is not an exaggeration to say that his face is seventy years old. His hair and beard can no longer be found.

Wu Yide covered his face and left. He returned to the main seat. The banquet was about to begin.

Pingyangfu cuisine is simple and rough. Wu's snow removal banquet is made of stewed meat in old soup, but there are many types of meat: beef, mutton, pork, and chicken, duck, fish and meat, as well as rabbit meat, venison, goose meat and even bear meat.

After half of the banquet, Wu Jingzhan came to find Wang Qilin and took him to the main seat to toast: "You are a VIP, so after you toast my elders, you and your father will stay in the main seat. At that time, our foreign relatives and friends from Wu will come to toast you so that you can get to know you."

Wang Qilin understood that Wu's family wanted to introduce him to the powerful people in Pingyang Mansion, which was a good thing, and even made him a little flattered.

Wu Jingzhan said: "There is another thing to ask you to attend the family dinner tonight, that is, I want to tell you something. My father is going to divide the government office into two and give you a part of Tingtianjian Office to work. Your office is really unbearable to watch."

Wang Qilin glanced at him quietly and said, "Mr. Jing, you are so good to me, right? I dare not agree."

Show your diligence if you have nothing to do.

Wu Jingzhan whispered: "This is all for you. Now our Wu family owes you a very big favor. You may not know that my father will set off for Chang'an tomorrow, and the position of the county magistrate is vacant again. My Wu family will take this position no matter what!"

Wang Qilin hesitated and said, "Then I wish you success."

Wu Jingzhan smiled and said, "You don't like our Wu family, are you?"

Without waiting for Wang Qilin to answer, he said to himself: "The court never wants to hand over the Bing County to our Wu family, but we are determined to win this time. Liu Bo has the handle in our hands, and he has been replaced by two consecutive county magistrates. The Bing County officialdom and the people are very unstable, so our Wu family has ushered in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we will seize this opportunity no matter what!"

Wang Qilin thought for a while and said, "Wu is very nice to me, so I should repay you. Maybe I can help you create some more achievements."

Wu Jingzhan smiled with relief and said, "We just need your help. Do you still remember the Xingtian Festival I mentioned to you? They are the most active in winter, and I want you to take charge of them!"

Wang Qilin said: "Okay, in addition, I can also help capture the thieves in the previous dynasty, but you have to let go of the group of thieves you touched along the Landa Temple. They are my secret line."

Wu Jingzhan said happily: "No problem, but are you sure you want to rely on them to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
