The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1060

In fact, this is unreasonable, because although patriarch Xia has a good background, he is not an official of the court after all.

But patriarch Xia is the most valuable guest he invited this time, and Guo Haoshou is counted as one of the hosts of the banquet, so it is reasonable to assume the first place on the right hand side.

As for whether the other two accompanying officials would be dissatisfied, that was out of his consideration.

It's just that now that Gu Chengyu is here, and his status is still an imperial envoy, it's impossible for him to be inferior to Patriarch Xia, right?
Even if he gives up the main position now, it is not too much.But today he is the master, and after all, he and Gu Chengyu are considered equal, even if he refuses to give up, Gu Chengyu can't find anything wrong.

Just when Li Taihang was hesitating whether to give up his seat, Xia Mingqun stood up knowingly and stepped aside.

Li Taihang understood immediately, and hurriedly asked his servants to place the seat in front of Li Taihang.

In his heart, he felt very warm about Patriarch Xia's understanding.

"Old man, Xia Mingqun, head of the Xia Clan, pays his respects to the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy traveled thousands of miles from the capital to come to the south of the Yangtze River to relieve the disaster. It is the blessing of the people in Jiangnan!"

As soon as Gu Chengyu sat down, Patriarch Xia smiled and complimented him.

"Patriarch Xia is too polite. This official is also here at the emperor's order. I should not praise Patriarch Xia like this."

Gu Chengyu put the Shangfang sword in his hand on the table, and replied with a smile.

Everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to the thing wrapped tightly in cloth on the table. Its shape should be a sword.

Li Taihang immediately understood, this is the Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor, right?
Seeing this, Guo Tongzhi couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed.Li Taihang thought that if he flattered Xia Shoufu, he would really be able to rise to the top?

But he heard that the imperial envoy in front of him is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is highly regarded by the emperor.

This time I came to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and I have already been promoted to three levels before arriving in Jiangnan, which shows how strong the holy family is.

It is of course unwise for Mrs. Li to act against this person for Xia Qing.

Because the emperor's intentions are already very obvious, this is to support this person to become an upstart in the court.

If he offends Gu Shaoqing who is in full swing at this time, he thinks that even if Li Taixing hugs his thigh, he will not be able to get away unscathed.

After all, what is Li Taihang to Xia Shoufu?If Min Feng hadn't come to Jiangnan, would Xia Shoufu have personally written to Li Taihang?
Don't weigh your own weight, people are self-aware, always whimsical, but it's not worth it.

These two fight, Li Taixing is in the middle, there must be no good fruit to eat.

This Gu Chengyu is not easy to provoke at first glance, Li Taihang has kicked the iron plate this time.

Guo Tongzhi couldn't help gloating in his heart, rolled his eyes, and planned to add fuel to the fire.If Li Taihang completely offended Gu Shaoqing, the prefect's seat might be vacated.

When Gu Chengyu saw the dishes on the table, there were fish and meat, eh!Very good, he is panicking with hunger, let's eat first.

Gu Chengyu held up his chopsticks and ate happily, but everyone in the side hall looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to speak rashly.

Everyone could only watch the pair of vegetarian hands flying up and down, eating gracefully and quickly.

After a while, the plates on the table were more than half empty.After not eating for a day, Gu Chengyu was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back.

Ming Mo stared at the crowd covetously, with this fierce look in his eyes, coupled with his hand on the hilt of his sword.It seems that if anyone disturbs his family's adult meal, he has to try the sword in his hand.

Gu Chengyu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, he had eaten and drank enough, and it was time to get down to business.

Looking up, Gu Chengyu couldn't help laughing when he found that everyone was staring at him motionless.

"This banquet is not to your liking? Why don't you just sit still, everyone, please eat and drink well!"

This down-to-earth sentence almost made Li Taixing lose his temper. He is the master after all, so it's not his turn to ask Gu Chengyu, right?
"I don't know if today's banquet suits everyone's taste, but it seems to suit Mr. Gu's taste!"

Li Taixing glanced at the plate on the table pointingly, whether it's delicious or not, you almost finished it, right?
Gu Chengyu nodded seriously, "It's okay! It's just that the fish meat is not tender enough, and the crystal elbow is not cooked enough, so it's okay for the rest!"

Such a serious comment made everyone present dumbfounded, and also made Li Taixing, who was the leader, twitched violently.

"Master Gu, I heard that you were still in charge of the overall situation in Hangtian Mansion two days ago, why did you appear in this official mansion today, but what happened?"

Li Taihang can finally empathize with Xia Shoufu, no wonder Xia Shoufu said in the letter that Gu Chengyu is difficult to deal with.

He now understands that this man is a rascal.

"Eh? Master Li doesn't know? I came here with the victims." Gu Chengyu glanced at Li Taihang in surprise, and suddenly felt someone approaching him.

A pair of catkins was about to be placed on Shang Fang's sword, and Ming Mo immediately grabbed the opponent's wrist.

"What are you doing?" He raised his eyebrows, startling the owner of that hand.

Gu Chengyu heard the sound and looked over, and saw that it was a girl carrying a tray.

This girl was supposed to be standing behind and serving her, but now that Ming Mo grabbed her hands, she suddenly panicked.

Seeing Gu Chengyu looking over, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Please forgive me, my servant just wants to put the thing aside so as not to be splashed by the soup. I don't know that the thing can't be moved, please forgive me, please." My lord, please forgive me!"

Gu Chengyu took a look at the girl, and saw that she was bowing her head and kowtowed.He thought that the girl might not understand the rules, so he planned to let her go.

But he was always cautious, so he said: "Raise your head!"

The girl heard the young man ask her to look up, red clouds instantly covered her cheeks, she shyly raised her head slightly.

Gu Chengyu noticed that there was shyness, admiration, hope, and a little fear in her eyes, so she had no other special emotions.

He waved his hand, "Back off!"

He has Ming Mo to serve him, and he doesn't like outsiders to serve him very much.

All the officials and merchants in the hall brightened their eyes, Patriarch Xia and Li Taihang looked at each other with some understanding in their eyes.

People are not romantic and young people, what kind of young people do not admire Shaoai?

Li Taihang had looked at that girl several times just now, and found that she was very beautiful. He was a little puzzled, why hadn't he seen her before?

But he thought it was just bought and trained by the mansion, so he didn't care.As long as Gu Chengyu has some thoughts about this girl, then why not give her to the other party?This is a great opportunity to plot against Gu Chengyu.

This person is not as old as Min Feng, and even Min Feng can't escape the gentleness, so Gu Chengyu is about the same.

Anyway, everyone here is a man, who dares to say that he doesn't like beautiful women?
