surnamed Wang

Chapter 34 Congrats
In the early morning, Wang Gingquan was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. He covered his head with a quilt in dissatisfaction, and said: "Whose family is going to have a funeral?"

No, how come the sound of firecrackers is so close, like setting off firecrackers at your own door?Wang Gangquan hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door to check, only to find that the palace courtyard had become very lively at some point.

Not only were there crackling red firecrackers, but also a group of people performing dragon and lion dances, so he casually grabbed a servant who was busy.

"What's going on outside?"

"My lord, you are awake. Today you are officially enfeoffed, and all the officials in Beijing and China are here to congratulate you!"

"Why has no one mentioned it to me?" Wang Gingquan was puzzled, he celebrated with the gang for a long time, and he, the rightful lord, didn't even know about it.

"The steward said that His Majesty ordered it, and there is no need to tell you."

Why didn't you tell me what the father arranged?Wang Gangquan was a little puzzled for a moment, and the servant saw that his master ignored him, so he went down and continued to work.

"Since it's a celebration, you can't be empty-handed!" Wang Gangquan immediately grasped the crux of the matter, and then turned back to the room with a smile on his face.

After a while, Wang Bingquan tidied it up. He was wearing a blue brocade robe with nine golden dragons embroidered with gold silk, interspersed with five-color cloud patterns and Fu and Shou patterns. It was a blue satin flat gold embroidered python robe.Wang Gangquan has just turned 1.8 now, and his body has grown completely. With a well-proportioned figure and a height of [-] meters, he is matched with a well-tailored boa robe, but he is also worthy of the word graceful.

Wang Gangquan waved a folding fan flirtatiously, and walked out in the direction of the living room.

I met many servants along the way, seeing Wang Gangquan was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.Not to mention, the Eighth Highness, who is usually in the dark, is quite handsome when dressed up.Looking at the gazes of these servants, Wang Gingquan couldn't help secretly complacent, the pimples on his face almost burst out of laughter, he kept nodding to the people around him, the sense of handsomeness just now disappeared with his action.

A lot of people had already gathered outside the reception hall, and the highest official position was only from the second rank. Those officials of the first and second ranks were all in the reception hall. When the officials standing in the courtyard saw Wang Quanquan's arrival, they all took the initiative to give way, and one after another He clasped his hands and saluted, still saying congratulatory words in his mouth, and Wang Gangquan returned the salutes one by one.

The officials in the meeting room were received by the newly dispatched stewards, and each of them naturally spent a lot of money.As soon as Wang Gangquan entered the door, he saw a coral plant as tall as a person, and the table was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, such as Buddha statues made of pure gold, and Guanyin statues made of high-quality jade carvings.

It took a lot of effort for Wang Gingquan to look away from the table. He looked calm on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.

"Hey! Master Liu, long time no see."

"Master Zhang, your complexion is getting better and better."

"Uncle Wang, why are you here in person?"

Wang Gingquan seemed to be very familiar with everyone, and greeted everyone warmly. Among these people were not only high officials of the dynasty, but also princes and grandchildren, and some of them had to call uncle uncle in terms of seniority.Everyone had only heard that His Highness the Eighth Prince was a stick, but they never thought that he was so sophisticated in dealing with the world, and when he spoke, he looked after the food, giving everyone face, not as useless as the rumors said.

With the blessing of Wang Gangquan, the whole living room is much more lively than before. To say that this group of people is amazing, obviously they are not very familiar with each other and even have personal grudges, but now everyone is as familiar as friends who have been friends for more than ten years , bringing play to the extreme.

After exchanging greetings with everyone, the banquet was ready, and Wang Gangquan didn't participate in these things from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even know that he would invite them to dinner after receiving the gifts.

Wang Qingquan was assigned to the main seat, so it was natural to have an opening remark as the host.

"Everyone, thank you all for taking the time to come to my banquet. My brother is very touched. Come, let me mention one first!" After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank a bowl of wine.

Everyone at the scene looked at each other in blank dismay, probably meaning that they understood, but they always felt a little strange.

"it is good!"

I don't know who took the lead to applaud and applaud, and everyone applauded and echoed.

"Everyone should eat and drink!" Wang Gangquan was still simple and straightforward.

This banquet lasted for two full hours, from noon to afternoon, during which some people wanted to toast Wang Bingquan, but it turned out that the Prince Ankang had left at some time.

In fact, Wang Gangquan sneaked away shortly after the banquet started, he was not interested in such a lively occasion, the only thing he was interested in was the gifts they brought.

Wang Gangquan had already ordered people to move all the things to his room, and he wanted to check everything himself.

There were a lot of things that filled the huge living room. It took Wang Bingquan an entire afternoon to study them all. Most of them were precious items such as gold, silver, jade, porcelain and silk, and some people even gave them silver notes directly. .

Among them, the most valuable one is probably the coral tree that Wang Gangquan saw at the first sight. The coral is top-grade red coral, which is much more precious than ordinary coral. It has the reputation of "one tael of coral, one hundred taels of gold". The value of the entire coral tree is even more immeasurable.

Wang Gingquan couldn't stop stroking the coral, thinking who is so generous, he had to go through the roster to see that it was a gift from Pan Ziqian, the son of Prince Anbei.

"Pan Ziqian?"

Wang Gangquan murmured, he had some impressions of this name, before this prince threw 50 taels at his auction and took away a few pieces of colored glaze products, at that time he thought this kid was quite rich, but when he saw it today, I still underestimate him, the value of this coral tree can no longer be measured by money alone.

Although Wang Gangquan said he was greedy for money, he would feel guilty if he really accepted such a priceless coral tree.After thinking about it for a while, he planned to meet this wealthy son someday. After all, King Anbei's family was very wild from the beginning to the end.

Among this batch of gifts, apart from the coral tree, the brocade box that catches Wang Bingquan's eyes the most. The packaging of the brocade box is not gorgeous, but the weight is not light. Wang Qingquan also thought about gold bars and the like at first, but he didn't find out until he opened it that there was actually a musket inside.

The Dynasty Ordnance Factory also produced some firearms, but it did not equip the army on a large scale. Instead, it only formed a musketeer team in Beijing Huwei. The task of firing guns is equivalent to a substitute for firecrackers.

Before, Wang Gangquan specially asked for a firearm from the ordnance shop, wanting to know the current level of guns, but when he got it, he found that it was very rough. Not only did it not have a butt guard, it didn't even have a trigger.It is an iron rod connected to a pipe at the front end, and a hole is drilled at the end of the pipe to install the matchlock. Every time it is fired, it needs to be loaded with gunpowder projectiles. After firing, it needs to be cleaned and reloaded, which makes it not only slow, but accurate The speed is extremely poor, and it has no actual combat effect at all. It is better to say that it is a large sky-swapping monkey than a gun. It is no wonder that it can only be used as a sacrificial weapon.
