Chapter 28 The Family Banquet Begins

"Zihou met three cousins."

Huo Shan chatted with Wei Qing and his wife for a few words, then bowed to the third child of the Wei family.

The three members of the Wei family only kept their identities, but nodded lightly, Huo Shan didn't care, I will deal with you in the future, I want to train soldiers, do you think you can escape?

When Wei Qing saw his three sons like this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.

The same is true for Pingyang, she is hard to say anything, and the child has grown up!
Huo Shan understood this scene, he was used to it!

Everyone was a little embarrassed, Huo Shan quickly changed the subject:

"Grandmother, who is this?"

A smile appeared on Pingyang's face, and he quickly waved at Cao Zong:

"Zong'er, come here quickly."

Cao Zong stepped forward quickly and bowed:
"Zong has met the little prince!"

Cao Zong was in the same generation as himself, and his relationship with Liu Che was the same as his relationship with Wei Qing, and he was older than himself, so Huo Shan quickly replied:
"Zihou has seen my brother!"

Hearing Huo Shan's address, Pingyang smiled even more intensely, and Wei Qing also nodded cheerfully. Cao Xiang used to make a living under his hands, but now he left a legacy, so naturally he has to take care of it.

On the other hand, the three little ones, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, looked at Cao Zong, perhaps seeing him salute to the junior, with a somewhat disdainful expression on his face, Huo Shan felt extremely upset when he saw their expressions, are you disdainful?

Huo Shan quickly told himself in his heart, be calm, be calm!

"Granduncle, great-aunt, go in first. Your Majesty is not yet here. My great-aunt has been waiting for a long time. You can go and chat first."

"It's been a long time since I saw my sister!"

Wei Qing nodded and was about to move forward, Ping Yang quickly asked:
"Won't Zihou go in together?"

Huo Shan showed a wry smile, looking a little aggrieved:
"Your Majesty said, since it's the family banquet I proposed, he can just come and eat and drink, and let me manage it myself!"

Wei Qing laughed out loud, and Ping Yang also laughed coquettishly:
"Then you welcome the guests here, the great uncle and grandma will go in first!"

"Ok!"

Not long after the members of the Wei family entered, the grand servant Sun He and his son, Gongsun Jingsheng, walked in with narrowed eyes.

"Zihou has met Uncle Gongsun and Grandpa Gongsun, and uncle Gongsun."

"Oh, Zihou, something happened on the way, I'm late, where's your uncle?"

The 50-year-old Gongsun He with graying hair was sweating profusely, and the [-]-something Gongsun Jingsheng was also out of breath, as if running over in a hurry!
"Uncle and grandpa just went in..."

Gongsun He slapped his thigh, showing a little heartbroken:
"Oh, hurry up and catch up, but I still haven't caught up!"

"Father, logically speaking... you are the elder... there is no need to be in front of uncle!"

"You rebellious son, don't understand anything, so don't talk!"

Gongsun He slapped Gongsun Jingsheng on the head, who was out of breath and couldn't even speak.

"Go, catch up quickly, Zihou don't care about me!"

Huo Shan stared blankly at the two people who ran away, why do you feel that these two people are so funny?
Speaking of Gongsun He, like Zhao Puonu, he is not a great general. He is based on his relationship. When Liu Che was still the prince, he was one of Liu Che's prince Sheren and his confidantes. After he ascended the throne, he became a servant .

After the Wei family took the lead, Liu Che arranged for him to marry Wei Junru, the elder sister of Wei Qing, and then he fell in love with Wei Qing and became a marquis because of his meritorious service. However, he was also unlucky. .

Liu Che wanted him and Lao Zhao back as marquises, so he gave him a chance. Last year, he made General Fuju and took [-] cavalry to attack the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu was beaten in front of him and ran a little farther. Gongsun He ran for more than 2000 miles without even finding a hair, but he had already reached the door of the Huns. If you run another hundred miles, you will meet the Huns. Then, he turned back...

What else can I say, but he still has some self-knowledge, he just wants to be his servant when he is ready, and he didn't think about sealing the wolf and living in Xu, and riding the dragon city!
But after losing the Marquis, the opportunity to become the Marquis is at hand, and no one can bear it!
In fact, it is his son Gongsun Jingsheng who has no self-knowledge, he is quite an idiot.

An 'ordinary person' like Gongsun He became the prime minister after Shi Qing died eight years later, which is enough to show how poor the level of prime ministers in Emperor Wu's dynasty was, and how ruthlessly Liu Che suppressed them!

.........

Not long after, Liu Ju came with his wife and son!

"Liu Jin!"

Huo Shan looked at the little carrot head that Shi Liangdi was holding and yelled.

Three-year-old Liu Jin raised his head to recognize it for a while, and after he recognized it, he broke free from his mother's hand, and ran over with a milky cry.

"Cousin!"

Huo Shan went up to embrace Liu Jin, gritted his teeth, and picked him up.

"Oh, it's grown up a bit, it's so heavy!"

Liu Jin smirked, Huo Tan said with a smile:

"I thought you forgot your cousin!"

"No, I always remember my cousin!"

"I'm afraid you don't remember your cousin, but your cousin's snacks?"

After teasing Liu Jin for a while, Huo Shan put him down.

"Zihou has met the prince's cousin!"

After Huo Shan saluted Liu Ju, he saluted Shi Liangdi next to him.

"Well, Zihou is well!"

Liu Ju was very enthusiastic about Huo Shan. Since Liu Jin was born last time, he hadn't had a formal meal with Liu Che for three years.

It's really pitiful to say, if it weren't for Wei Qing, he probably wouldn't even see Liu Che's face, Liu Che didn't have time to talk to him, he was busy seeking longevity.

"Cousin, prince, let's go in quickly. Uncle Gongsun, granduncle, uncle and grandma have just entered!"

"Is there no one behind?"

Huo Shan shook his head, there was indeed no one else, there were only so many, Huo Guang had already gone in and entertained guests inside, and the princesses born to Mrs. Wei, either married far away, or were not in Chang'an, and ran to It's summer.

Wei Qing's elder brothers Wei Bu and Wei Guang died young and had no children, so there are only so many relatives with the Wei family!
Liu Ju paled in shock:

"His Majesty has gone in?"

"No, His Majesty hasn't come yet."

Liu Ju breathed a sigh of relief:

"Then I'll wait here for a while."

"Hey, don't, you..."

Huo Shan stepped forward and grabbed his hand, holding Liu Shi with one hand and Liu Jin with the other, and walked inside. Shi Liangdi hesitated for a moment, but still followed behind, but her face was a little stiff.

Thinking in his heart why Huo Shan didn't call her just now, he just saluted lightly.

As a matter of fact, although Huo Shan doesn't like her a little bit, he hasn't reached this point yet, so he really doesn't know what to call her.

The prince has no concubine, to put it simply, he has no wife, let him be called Aunt Biao, he can't say it!

In addition, he didn't like Shi Liangdi very much, so he simply stopped barking, and just saluted.

As for why Huo Shan didn't like him, it was because she was a member of the Lu State historian, and the historian was very famous in Lu State. She also had a younger sister who married Lu An Wang Liu Guang, and Lu State was the stronghold of Confucianism.

Liu Ju was also a very good person before, and he is still now. Although his temper is milder, it is not as extreme as in the future.

After the crown prince was established, Liu Che arranged many teachers for him, including Legalists, Huang Lao, Zongheng, Confucianism, and most Confucianists!
But ever since Shi Liangdi entered the palace, Liu Ju has changed, he only likes Gu Liang and other theories, and no longer likes others, so he can't help but doubt it!
All the teachers arranged by Liu Che disappeared, and then a scholar Xiaqiu Jianggong who specialized in the study of "Biography of Gu Liang" came, who was as famous as Dong Zhongshu.

Then one after another, all the princes in the womb became Bachelor Gu Liang.

What's going on, I don't understand!

Liu Che didn't care about the prince's affairs, and didn't teach him wholeheartedly. In his opinion, he would live forever, and the prince didn't matter.

Last year, it was also ordered to build a bowang garden for the prince, so that he can move out to live when he becomes an adult, and entertain his disciples and guests.

It's just below Changle Palace, outside Chang'an City's Fu'an Gate. It hasn't been repaired yet. After another two years, he will move out of Weiyang Palace, and he won't be able to see Liu Che again.

.........

As soon as Huo Shan entered the Jiaofang Hall, he saw everyone gathered together in the hall, and Wei Zifu no longer stood tall, but sat down and made peace with everyone.

The first place is Liu Che and Wei Zifu, they are even.

The first one on the right is Wei Qing's family. Wei Qing and Pingyang are sitting in front, and three little ones are sitting behind.

The second on the right is the seat of Prince Liu Ju. Liu Ju sits in front, and Shi Liangdi takes Liu Jin to sit behind Liu Ju.

The third place on the right is Huo Shan's position. Huo Shan glanced at San Xiao only, feeling a little proud:

'It doesn't matter if you are cousins, as long as your father is still alive, you will never be able to sit in the front. Now I am the master of the house of the Huo family! '

The first on the left is Gongsun He and his son, the father is in front and the son is behind.

The second from the left is Huo Guang!
The third from the left is Cao Zong!
"Ji'er and Zihou are here, take your seat quickly, Jin'er, come here and let the imperial grandmother have a look, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Wei Zifu is really happy today, there are not many times in a year when the family gathers together like this, if it wasn't for Huo Shan's efforts this time, they could only be invited to the palace for dinner during the festivals!
After everyone sat down, there were some melon and fruit snacks on the table. It was not time to eat, and the protagonist hadn't come yet, so everyone started chatting, talking about interesting stories about Wei Qing and others when they were young.

Wei Qing was not at all embarrassed in front of the juniors, he stroked his beard and laughed, Huo Shan listened with gusto, and opportunities to learn about the dark history of elders are rare.

Moreover, this atmosphere is really good, until Liu Che's arrival...

"Haha, I heard you laughing and laughing outside the hall, what are you talking about?"

"Concubine..."

"My son..."

"Sir wait..."

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me, I'm safe!"

Everyone got up and saluted, only Huo Shan didn't move.

"Zihou quickly salute!"

The others watched with smiles, only Huo Guang reprimanded Huo Shan.

Huo Shan was a little displeased with Liu Che's sudden arrival. He hadn't had enough of hearing it yet, so he curled his lips and said:

"Isn't today our family's family feast? How can there be so many etiquettes!"

Liu Che laughed again and again, and waved his hands:
"Yes, this brat is right. I am your brother-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle, and grandfather today. No need to be polite, everyone, take your seats!"

Only then did Huo Shan raise his eyebrows in satisfaction, and finally chatted. He just talked about the embarrassment of Lao Wei when he was seven years old. This atmosphere should not be lost.
