After tossing and turning all night, Pang Gang got up at three o'clock in the morning when he got up the next day. As soon as he got up, several maids began to rush about. Some helped him dress and put on his shoes, some helped him comb his hair, and some helped him.
He brought hot water for him to wash up. The whole process did not require him to lift a finger. The thoughtful service amazed our Comrade Pang Gang, who grew up under the red flag.
"These rich people are so ****, I guess the rich and handsome people in later generations will not be treated like this!" Pang Gang despised these rich people while happily enjoying the meticulous service of the maids.
When Pang Gang packed up and walked out of the room, Kong Lin had been waiting outside for a long time. As soon as he saw Pang Gang coming out, he came over and said with a respectful and affectionate smile, "Master Pang, the common people have asked the servants to get ready.
I’ve had breakfast and I’m waiting for the adults to come and have a meal together.”
Since Pang Gang stayed in the outer courtyard last night and the soldiers stayed in the outer house, Pang Gang was a little worried. He did not go there immediately but asked: "At Kong Shaodong's house, have all my soldiers and horses eaten?"
Kong Lin smiled and said, "There is no need to worry, Panda. Those soldiers who live in the Cao Min Mansion will never treat them badly. They have already used them."
Pang Gang nodded slightly. No matter what the purpose of befriending the eldest young master of the Kong family, he came to Yangzhou to be taken care of by him, and he could be regarded as inheriting the love of his family. Thinking of this, Pang Gang said kindly
: "Kong Shaodong's family, please stop calling me an adult. It sounds awkward to me. We should be about the same age. From now on, you and I will treat each other as brothers."
"No, no, how dare ordinary people be so presumptuous." Kong Lin waved his hands repeatedly.
Pang Gang pretended to be angry and said, "What's wrong? The name is for people to shout. Otherwise, what would you do with the name?"
"This... the common people are so presumptuous, but they haven't asked the adults for their names yet!" After a slight hesitation, Kong Lin stopped refusing.
After pondering for a moment, he found one for himself even though he didn't have a cousin, "My cousin is Chaodong."
Kong Lin cupped his hands and said, "It turns out it's brother Chaodong, and my cousin is Shilin. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!"
"Hahaha..." The two looked at each other and laughed.
After exchanging cousin names, the relationship between the two became much closer. Kong Lin said affectionately: "Brother Chaodong, I have already ordered my subordinates to handle the matter you told me. It is estimated that it will be completed within a few days.
You don’t have to worry. My father has some wine in the house tonight, please be sure to enjoy it, Brother Chaodong."
"A treat! Didn't you just treat me last night?" Pang Gang was slightly shocked and then agreed...
When the lanterns first came on, Pang Gang, accompanied by Kong Lin, came to the inner house and set up a banquet in a hall. However, this banquet was not as sumptuous as last night, with only seven or eight dishes. There were also fewer people to accompany him.
There were only four people, including Kong Lin, and besides Kong Wen and his son, there were two women. One was a middle-aged beauty, and the other was a young woman in her twenties who was extremely charming.
"Dad, I've invited Brother Chaodong!" Kong Lin shouted excitedly after entering the hall.
"You bastard, how can you call a big man like that?" Kong Wen immediately scolded him.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Pang Gang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shilin and I hit it off as old friends, so naturally we have to match each other's names. Besides, I am a small official of a small family, I just make a living.
Master Kong, there is no need to be so polite, otherwise I will leave."
"In this way, the dog has reached such a high level that I will take the liberty to call you my nephew!" Kong Wen reluctantly agreed, but a trace of imperceptible joy quickly flashed in his eyes.
Then Kong Wen introduced the two women around him to Pang Gang: "Hehe, come on, come on, I will introduce my nephew, this is my wife, and this is my daughter Ruolan. Old woman, Ruolan, you all come
I’ve seen the giant man!”
After Kong Wen introduced Pang Gang one by one, Pang Gang couldn't help but feel a little dazed. One of these two women was his wife, and the other was his daughter. Together with their father and son, the whole family was complete. This
It's obviously a family dinner. In today's era, bringing your wife and daughter to the party is a sign of family friendship. It seems that my relationship with the Kong family is not as good as this, right?
Pang Gang met Kong Li, Kong Wen's wife, respectively, and called her Mrs. Kong, and then met Miss Kong next to her, who had a delicate little face with a hint of shyness. Because the distance between the two parties was very close,
Recently, a faint scent of powder came from Miss Kong's sleeves and floated into Pang Gang's nose from time to time. The first sight of such an enchanting beauty reminded Pang Gang of a sentence, "Across the door.
The willows are weak and curling, just like the waist of a fifteen-year-old girl."
After the two parties saw the ceremony, they sat down one by one, and Kong Wen and Kong Lin started to drink. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Kong Wen seemed to pretend to be casual and asked, "Excuse me for being presumptuous, may I ask my nephew this year?"
Gui Geng, are you married?"
Pang Gang was stunned for a moment, but he answered honestly: "Pang Gang is still a bachelor, and his parents have both died long ago. Now one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. How can anyone care about my nephew?"
"Oh, that's right." Kong Lin on the side couldn't help but show concern: "In this case, brother Chaodong, it's better to get married as soon as possible. After all, it won't work without someone who knows how to take care of you."
"Yes! Lin'er is right." Kong Wen on the side stroked his beard and said, "There is an old saying, "Marry a family and establish a career." A man must first marry and then establish a career, otherwise there will be no woman to take care of the family.
No way......"
While Kong Wen and his son were singing along, Kong Ruolan's pretty face, who was sitting quietly aside, was getting redder and redder. Her skin color was originally as white as cream, but now her blushing became even more obvious.
This situation made his mother, Mrs. Kong, aware of it. Mrs. Kong asked softly: "Ruolan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's nothing, maybe I'm just drunk." Kong Ruolan quickly covered it up.
Kong Ruolan has been smart since she was a child, otherwise she would not have become Kong Wen's right-hand assistant. She had already noticed her father's abnormality today. First, she held a family banquet to entertain a young man, and asked herself and her mother to attend.
With an attitude of family friendship, he intentionally or unintentionally asked the other party whether he had a wife at the wine table. This signal was clearly obvious. Could it be that his father really took a fancy to this young Baihu and wanted to recruit him as his wife?
Son-in-law?
Thinking of this, even Kong Ruolan, who was usually very sweet-tempered, couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
What kind of medicine is sold in Kong Wen's gourd? Let alone Kong Ruolan, even his brother Kong Lin still doesn't know. He remembers that his father hadn't made the final decision last night, so why did he say this today?
