Yun Haiqing thanked him loudly and sat on the table. Gao Muqing also sat beside him and ordered someone to pour wine for Yun Haiqing.
Yun Haiqing asked: "Is this the beginning? Am I the only one coming to the banquet tonight?"
Gao Muqing said: "I said it was a family banquet, are there any other people invited?"
Yun Haiqing said with a smile: "I thought the Second Village Master would also be there for the family banquet. The Second Village Master is your father's adopted son and your adopted brother. Isn't that a family?"
Gao Muqing frowned and said, "Uncle Yun, my father only has one daughter. The second village leader's surname is Qiu, and he doesn't trust Gao. Besides, compared to Uncle Yun, he is not considered a family member in Mu Qing's eyes."
Yun Haiqing was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Yes, yes, I'm too talkative. Then I'm welcome. I haven't drank for several days. I want to drink a few more drinks tonight as the young lady is enjoying the wine."
"
Gao Muqing smiled and said, "That jar belongs to Uncle Yun. If you can't finish it, you can take it back and drink it."
Yun Haiqing laughed loudly. The female guard on the side came forward to pour wine. Gao Muqing toasted to each other, and the two began to drink and eat. After several glasses of wine, Yun Haiqing's fair face turned slightly red. He likes to drink, but he can't drink enough.
Unfortunately, after a few glasses of wine, you will get a headache, so if you drink several glasses in a row, you will already feel a little tipsy.
Gao Muqing drank three glasses of wine with her, but her expression remained unchanged. Just like her father Gao Yuankui, Gao Muqing drank a lot, but he rarely drank.
Yun Haiqing put a piece of sheep bone in front of him, grabbed the bone with his hands and ate it, letting out a sound of admiration. Gao Muqing glanced at him lightly and spoke softly.
"For some reason, looking at the situation in front of him, Mu Qing couldn't help but think of the past. At that time, Dad was still here, and Uncle Yun often came here to have drinks with Dad. It was also in this hall that Uncle Yun and Dad drank and talked.
I would help you pour wine. Sometimes you would lament and sigh, and I would be there to worry. Sometimes you would laugh, and I would be happy. That situation is still fresh in my memory. However, now my father
He passed away, leaving you alone, Uncle Yun, sitting here eating wine."
Hearing this, Yun Haiqing stopped chewing the sheep bones, wiped his mouth, shook his head and sighed: "Yes, when you said that, it also reminded me of the past. Your father is a hero. He has done so many great things, and his reputation is shocking.
In the world, it’s a pity that people’s fate is determined by heaven, and fate plays tricks on people, so they pass away in the prime of life. Alas, God really doesn’t open his eyes and is jealous of talented people.”
Gao Muqing said softly: "Dad passed away suddenly, and that was God's will. Fortunately, Uncle Yun, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Chen, and you are here, and the cottage is still there. Dad can rest assured that he is still in heaven. If the cottage is gone, I'm afraid dad will die in peace."
Yun Haiqing smiled and said: "We old brothers naturally can't let the village end. In fact, in the past year, the village has been prospering, the number of soldiers and horses has increased by more than 800, and we have done a few big businesses. On the contrary, it has become prosperous.
The old brother will be happy to be in the spirit of heaven. This is also the protection of your father's heroic spirit. He has recruited many talents for the village a long time ago. For example, the current second village leader is young, promising, courageous and knowledgeable. In the past year, the village has been like this
It is he who takes the greatest credit for the prosperity. Of course, having a niece and you sitting in charge of the village, and the hearts of all the brothers are stable, is also a prerequisite."
A trace of displeasure flashed between Gao Muqing's brows, but he nodded and said: "The Second Village Master is indeed outstanding, and he certainly deserves a share of the credit here."
Yun Haiqing drained the glass of wine in front of him in one gulp, looked at Gao Muqing and said, "Miss, since today is a family dinner, we are also talking in private. Uncle Yun has a few words that he wants to say directly."
"Uncle Yun, just say it, what else do we need to hide between us? Uncle Yun is the most trusted and respected person in this village," Gao Muqing said with a smile.
Yun Haiqing nodded and said: "Thank you for your words, okay, then I will say it directly. If the eldest lady is unhappy, just treat it like Uncle Yun was talking while drinking, don't take it to heart. What I want to say is that you
The attitude of the second village master. The second village master is the adopted son of my elder brother. When the imperial troops attacked in large numbers, our village was in danger. It was Qiu Biao who stepped forward and led hundreds of brothers to ambush the imperial six in Tushan Town.
Thousands of soldiers and horses actually defeated the imperial soldiers and horses. It was after that battle that the imperial soldiers and horses no longer dared to invade. It was also because of this that your father accepted the second village leader as his adopted son. Uncle Yun, tell you something.
Maybe you don’t like to hear it, but the purpose of accepting Qiu Biao as his adopted son was to cultivate the next generation of village masters for the village. After all... After all, your father only has a daughter like you. In the future, the village will still need a daughter.
Men are here to support you. Don’t worry, young lady. I’m not saying that young lady can’t be the leader of the village, but..."
"Uncle Yun, there is no need to explain, I understand what you mean. After all, I am not a man, and it is indeed inconvenient for a woman to lead the village. I understand this myself, so there is no need to hide it." Gao Muqing interrupted in a deep voice.
"The eldest lady is really an open-minded and sensible person. Yes, this is the truth. My old brother thought the same way at the beginning. In fact, he is not willing to let you inherit his position. You must know that no matter how prosperous the village is, it looks like a bandit from the outside.
Wo, he doesn’t want you to become a female bandit. You should understand this. I am not making this up by conjecture, but your father discussed these matters with me in private before he was alive, so I know what he thinks."
Gao Muqing smiled bitterly and said: "Dad is doing it for my own good, but he is the leader of a bandit and I am the daughter of a bandit leader. How can I not be a female bandit? And my father didn't ask me. If he asked me what I was thinking, I would tell him that the bandits
So what? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The imperial court is actually a bandit, but they took over the world back then. Aren’t they actually bandits as well?"
Yun Haiqing raised his finger and praised: "Good insight, what the eldest lady said is on point. It is said that princes, generals and ministers have a certain kind of peace. The winner is the king and the loser is the thief. The world is actually that simple. Just like the second village leader's front-end time
As we said, don't look at our small cottage, but it may not be able to become a phenomenon. I didn't dare to think about it before, but now I think it makes sense."
Gao Muqing frowned and said, "Uncle Yun, it seems that you praise the second village leader very much."
Yun Haiqing said hurriedly: "Miss, please don't misunderstand. No matter how capable Qiu Biao is, you are still the master of our cottage. What I want to say is that people like Qiu Biao will bring benefits to the cottage, but we must also win over his heart."
.I know some things. Qiu Biao has a soft spot for you. He has proposed marriage before, but the matter was not settled when my brother was alive. I also know that you don't have a good impression of him. What is it that makes you
I don't know if I have any prejudice against him. However, from the perspective of the prosperity of the village, I think the eldest lady should give it more thought. If she can accept Qiu Biao's words... everyone will be happy. The master of the first village and the master of the second village have become a family.
As a human being, there will naturally be less disputes in the village. Even if there is no such fate, the leader of the village cannot be too cold to him, as this will hurt his heart. I think the master of the village should be a little fake to him.
Don’t turn people away thousands of miles away based on color.”
Gao Muqing's face darkened. This Yun Haiqing has indeed changed. After coming here, he always said good things for Qiu Biao. Now he actually meddles in his own personal affairs and wants to submit to Qiu Biao for the sake of the overall situation. This is still the same person as before.
Is Yun Haiqing always protecting his father and himself? Once his father died, everything changed.
"Uncle Yun, I'm afraid you really drank too much." Gao Muqing said coldly.
Yun Haiqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that his performance today was a bit too much. Although Qiu Biao forced him to whisper in Gao Muqing's ears countless times, it was obvious that he should not intervene in this matter because he had lost his sense of proportion.
"Oh, what on earth did I say? After these few glasses of wine, my mind became confused. The young lady has her own decision on this matter. I just expressed some of my own thoughts for the young lady's reference. That's all, I will
Just never mention it again."
"You really shouldn't mention it, and what you said is not true. You know clearly that my father did not agree with this marriage. When my father was still alive, Qiu Biao once proposed marriage to my father, but he refused. Do you think this is the case?
I don’t know? Dad has said more than once that he shouldn’t accept Qiu Biao as his adopted son. I asked him about the specific reasons, but dad refused to tell me. But since dad told Uncle Yun everything, Uncle Yun should know the reason. But these things
When it came to Uncle Yun's mouth, he didn't mention anything. Instead, he kept talking for Qiu Biao. Did Uncle Yun get any benefits from being happy with Qiu Biao?" Gao Muqing said lightly.
Yun Haiqing was stunned and said hurriedly: "Eldest niece, where do you start talking about this? What benefits can I get from Qiu Biao? I, Yun Haiqing, only think about the cottage, and I have no selfish motives. As for the things you said, your father is
You really didn’t tell me, I really don’t know, so how could you deliberately hide it?”
Gao Muqing gently fiddled with the silver spoon in his hand and said calmly: "Anyway, my father is dead. There is no proof of his death. Uncle Yun's words will be whatever he says, and there is no way to prove it."
Yun Haiqing's face changed color, and he stood up suddenly and said: "Master of Dazhai, what you said is very unpleasant to hear. I thought today was just for family dinner and family dinner. But I didn't expect that this was a Hongmen Banquet. Dazhai
Is it okay for the Lord to unjustly accuse Yun just because he said a few words from the bottom of his heart?"
Gao Muqing smiled and said: "Uncle Yun, don't be so excited. You are serious. This is just a family banquet. Why did it get involved in the Hongmen Banquet? Uncle Yun is a well-educated person. How could he not stand the words of his niece? I was a man back then.
I have seen my father pointing at Uncle Yun’s nose and scolding him, but Uncle Yun is not so excited. It seems that the older Uncle Yun gets, the more impatient he becomes.”
Yun Haiqing said solemnly: "That's your father, my brother of life and death, my old brother. To put it bluntly, he pointed his nose at me and scolded me. Even if he chopped me with a knife, I would not fall out."
"However, you betrayed your old brother, your brother of life and death, right?" Gao Muqing threw the silver spoon in his hand on the table. The silver spoon danced and rotated on the table, making a harsh noise.
"What?" Yun Haiqing opened his eyes in shock and shouted, "What did you say?"
"Uncle Yun, have you slept well this year? Aren't you afraid that my father's heroic spirit will come to you? What have you done against your conscience? Are you still unwilling to tell the truth?" Gao Muqing's eyes were cold and stern, and she scolded in a sweet voice.
