In the room on one side of the hall, a group of servants had already prepared a banquet and other items. Shao Xun entered first, and then welcomed Ma Shao and others in.
Everyone sat down, Ma Shao and Mu Huzhu sat in the main seat, Shao Xun accompanied them, the others were separated according to rank, and Sheng Yongde sat at the bottom.
After all, of all the people present, he was the only one with a slightly lower status.
"Thank you all for coming to Lianli City. From now on, our development in Lianli City will still depend on your support."
Shao Xun was the first to speak, and after three drinks, everyone started eating and drinking freely.
With Shao Xun and Sheng Yongde, two insightful people here, the scene will naturally not be deserted.
Just when everyone was getting ready to eat, a little girl walked in and whispered a few words in Shao Xun's ear.
Shao Xun nodded slightly, and then said to everyone present, "My lords, this Lianli City was granted to Lord Shen of Shen Hall by His Majesty to manage. However, Lord Shen is now leading troops outside. Therefore, all affairs in Lianli City are under the control of Lord Shen." The ladies make the decision.
Mrs. Shen learned that all of you are here, so I would like to offer you a glass of water and wine."
"Haha, this will put a lot of trouble on Mrs. Shen."
Mu Huchu was the first to speak. You must know that among these ladies, there is the princess of the Kingdom of Jin. Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he does not dare not to welcome her.
Naturally, Ma Shao would not object. Moreover, Lian Licheng is doing well now, and it can be seen that these ladies all have some abilities.
Besides, the reason why he came was not only because of His Majesty's order, but also because he wanted to give Shen Tang some face.
Otherwise, it is also natural to have a minister of household affairs.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Shao Xun stood up and walked towards the door.
Not long after, several women with bright eyes and white teeth entered the room one after another.
Mu Huzhu was the first to stand up, because he had already seen that the woman in third place was Princess Yongqing of his country.
However, Ma Shao next to him was still sitting upright, his palm still turning gently on the wine glass.
Here, he has the highest status, even Mu Huchu is inferior. Although the wives of Shen Tang have noble status, they do not need him to stand up to greet them.
However, just as he looked over one after another, when his eyes fell on the fourth woman, his palm suddenly froze, and he even couldn't help but tremble, and he put the wine glass directly Touching Sa, the next moment, he stood up subconsciously, and the corners of his eyes twitched fiercely.
The woman photographed behind Liu Xiangling's three daughters is none other than Zhao Ling who came to join in the fun!
As a close minister of Zhao Shen, Ma Shao had naturally met the princess many times, but he was a little confused because wasn't this Shen Tang's wife coming to toast her?
Not to mention the other little girls, although they are also beautiful, judging from their clothes and demeanor, they should be their personal slaves.
But what does it mean when Princess Guangling comes?
However, obviously no one can answer his question.
Just when Ma Shao was debating whether to step forward and salute, he saw Zhao Ling wink at him quietly and make a silent gesture.
Even though Ma Shaodang understood, he lowered his hands slightly and couldn't help but look respectful on his face.
There is no way, this is one of the few people in the entire Song Dynasty who can decide his fate and even his life and death. He cannot be disrespected.
Even Ma Shao and Mu Huchu took the initiative to stand up, and others naturally did not dare to neglect.
Then, all the people who were sitting upright stood up.
"I am Liu Xiangling, and I would like to pay my respects to you all!"
Liu Xiangling smiled slightly, and the other girls naturally followed suit.
Ma Shao and Mu Huchu looked a little nervous on their faces and hurriedly returned the gift with great respect. Although the others were extremely different, their boss had already done this. How dare they just watch like this?
"My lords, I am very grateful to you for coming to Lienli City and supporting the start of Lienli City! Now that my husband is away, I, on behalf of my husband, will offer you twice the amount of water and wine."
"Haha, Mrs. Shen is polite, this is what we should do, not to mention that starting from Licheng will also be a good thing for the Song and Jin countries.
We have seen that Lianli City has been revitalized under your care, and I think it will not be long before it will become one of the important cities of our two countries."
Liu Xiangling, even if she is Shen Tang's wife, is naturally not worthy of Ma Shao and Mu Huzhu's respect or even respect.
However, behind her, the two people who called her sister couldn't afford to offend.
Furthermore, it is considered etiquette that Liu Xiangling came to offer a toast when the sedan chairmen were carrying the people, and they responded accordingly.
"Thank you, sir!"
Liu Xiangling smiled slightly, raised her hand lightly, and drank the wine in the glass. Shao Muyu and Wanyan Yue behind her were naturally the same. Even Zhao Ling, the princess of Guangling who followed at the end, was sneaking around. He took a glass of wine from the slave beside him and drank it directly.
However, Zhao Ling obviously rarely gets involved in things like alcohol.
Therefore, after a glass of wine, her pretty face suddenly turned rosy.
"Fill the wine for all your lords!"
Liu Xiangling said to the little girls behind her.
Behind them, Yun'er, Zhu'er and several other little girls immediately came forward with wine bottles to pour wine for Ma Shao and others.
These little girls were all close to Shen Tang or a few other girls, so no one ignored them. Even Ma Shao nodded slightly and said thank you.
At this moment, Sheng Yongde, who was sitting at the end of the table, sighed slightly in his heart, this Shen Hall is really powerful, and the ladies are all extraordinary.
Look, these adults in front of you, not to mention Ma Shao or Mu Huzhu, even others are extremely majestic in front of big businessmen like them.
However, when facing these women, they were not only polite, but even a little respectful.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe it was true.
When he turned to look at Shao Xun, who was somewhat proud of himself, he couldn't help but have a look of envy in his eyes.
The two of them are old rivals and have been targeting each other for almost half their lives. However, they did not expect that they would lose in the end because Shao Xun had a good daughter...
Yes, if Shao Xun's daughter hadn't been Shao Muyu, and Shao Muyu was already confirmed as Mrs. Shen, and even had a higher status than Wanyan Yue, how could Lianli City be the place where the Shao family could show off their talents? ?
At most, it's just like myself.
But now, the identity of the two of them is that of a host and a guest...
"Sir, please use it slowly!"
Just as Sheng Yongde was daydreaming, the little girl pouring wine beside him spoke softly.
Sheng Yongde nodded quickly and even saluted, "Thank you, girl!"
After saying that, he naturally raised his head and looked at the little girl pouring himself wine.
