Long Qi couldn't help but "click" in his heart, and his face became a little complicated.

Sensing Long Qi's change, Long Liu held her hand with some concern: "Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Long Qi pursed his lips and smiled to avoid any trouble.

Long Liu glanced at her thoughtfully and fell into deep thought.

……

After all, today is Xiao Xiyu's [-]-day banquet, and it is not advisable to talk about bad things so as not to spoil the fun. Soon everyone changed the subject and started chatting about other things, raising their glasses to add to the fun.

After several rounds of toasting, the atmosphere became lively.

What is even more unexpected is that during the banquet, many foreigners came to offer treasures to congratulate.

Speaking of this, this is a way for the ancients to recommend themselves. For example, King Ning of the Tang Dynasty held a banquet at home. Many capable people and strangers would recommend themselves in the name of congratulating the banquet. Rui expected to be familiar.

Today, I met four or five such people at the [-]-day banquet at the Shang Palace, two of them were famous literati, and what they sent were their own calligraphy and paintings.

Cui Xiu also said a lot of good things to them on the way.

"These two are my classmates and friends back then, one brother Qingye and the other brother Zhiliu. They are very knowledgeable, humble and good teachers. They are rare talents in teaching and educating people."

Li Yewu understood, this is the teacher Cui Xiu recruited for the school.

Of course, they couldn't refuse a learned person to join Taihe Prefecture.

"Immediately arrange for two distinguished guests to sit down." Xiao Jiuxi readily arranged to be seated, and because it was the first time someone surrendered, he was very happy.

Although the two people in front of them may not be big figures, they still have different meanings to Xiao Jiuxi.

You must know that Taihe Prefecture in the past was a land of plague gods that everyone could not avoid, the kind that gods and Buddhas were too lazy to come.

Today someone took the initiative to surrender, how touching.

Xiao Jiuxi was very moved, and so were the two of Qingye Zhiliu.

They are in their thirties, have studied hard for 21 years, and have taken the exam seven times, but unfortunately they failed each time.

Due to their livelihood, they can only recommend themselves to be staff and followers of others, but how many people do they recognize?Even those with more fame and family than them can only serve as staff and followers, let alone them.

Just when life was getting more and more difficult, Cui Xiu wrote to them.

I talked about how good Taihe Prefecture is, how famous the king is, and how the academy here is in urgent need of talents like them who have really read poetry and books.

Qingye Tributary was moved, and when they met again, they confirmed that they both wanted to visit Taihe Prefecture, so they came together.

I never thought that it would happen to coincide with the Hundred Days Banquet, and the long-table banquet of ten thousand people who had fun with the people outside had already shocked the two of them. If I asked carefully, the common people were really happy for the King of Cups, not for the sake of plucking The king of the cup is wool and pretends to be happy.

They are more confident.

However, they have confidence in Taihe State, not King Shang.

After all, they are not big figures. Although Cui Xiu strongly recommends them, it will be of no avail if King Shang doesn't like Cui Xiu.

Unexpectedly, Shang Wang really accepted them, and even immediately arranged a seat for them.

This was a treatment they had never had before. The two brothers were a little excited, and looked at Cui Xiu with gratitude.

Cui Xiu nodded at them calmly, thinking that you are already excited now, and I am afraid that you will faint from excitement when you see the academy.

Not long after the two literati arrived, three strangers came one after another.

But these three foreigners are all merchants.

Their news and sense of smell are relatively good. During these days, Taihe Prefecture frequently appeared in people's mouths. First, Taihe Prefecture eradicated the old party, then Taihe Prefecture wiped out bandits, and then Taihe Prefecture's cattle and sheep swept across silently. Big Chu.

As a wandering businessman, he quickly sensed the business opportunities in Taihe Prefecture, so he came here boldly.

In fact, they have been here for several days, wandering around these days, they are so fond of this bustling main city, and even have the urge to move their family here.

There is no way, there is a medical house, an academy, a wharf, enough food, cattle and sheep, and most importantly, there is a market full of prosperity and vitality. Full of praise for him and the princess.

Although the businessman is rich, his social status is not high, and he can only shake his head and sigh when he encounters a state and county controlled by cruel officials and corrupt officials.

A "Ming Jun" like Xiao Jiuxi is obviously what they are after.

Compared with the surrender of literati, Xiao Jiuxi was undoubtedly more shocked by the surrender of merchants to be honest.

Nothing else, he only ransacked the homes of three big merchants in the past six months and confiscated their property. He thought that no merchant would dare to set foot in Taihe Prefecture in his life.

Who knows that there are merchants, and there are more than one. Did they inquire clearly before they came?Are you sure you know the stories of the four major families in Taihe Prefecture?
But of course this matter cannot be asked in front of others at the banquet, so as not to embarrass people, right?

Xiao Jiuxi thoughtfully didn't mention it, just accepted their gifts with a smile, and also arranged for a seat.

In this way, the Hundred Days Banquet was passed in a lively and peaceful way. The little girl Xiao Xiyu took pride in not crying or making noises. When she was tired and sleepy, she closed her eyes and fell asleep like this.

She's so cute.

Such a cute baby full of aura almost melted Princess Liang's heart. During the whole banquet, she almost hugged the baby and didn't have time to eat at all.

King Liang felt sorry for her, took it over and hugged her for a while, and Princess Liang hugged her back again.

Their rarity, if Li Yewu said that you should take the child back, to ensure that they will drive away without hesitation.

Li Yewu died laughing.

Because the baby was so cute, Liang Wang and his wife, who planned to leave the next day, stayed for a few more days, fighting with Xiao Jiuxi for the baby every day.

After finally sending them away, Xiao Jiuxi broke into a cold sweat.

He pinched his son's face: "Don't cooperate like this next time, otherwise you really have to change parents."

At first, I thought that my son was cute and cute to save face, but I found that the exaggerated love of Sihuang brother and Sihuang's wife turned out to be a burden. I should let my son be a little naughty in the future, so as not to be abducted home. .

At this time, he also muttered to himself as if he had realized something: "Actually, I didn't quite understand why my father doted on me alone before, but now I seem to understand that such a well-behaved and smart child is really easy to be in love with." Stand out from a group of silly kids."

"..." Li Yewu.

"..." The old housekeeper.

"..." A group of followers.

"Am I not right?" Xiao Jiuxi asked innocently.

"As long as you are happy." Li Yewu replied on behalf of everyone.
