Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 116 Banquet for Chu Guogong

Xia Kelian appeared briefly.

Soon, everyone's eyes turned to Xia Keyu again.

The uncle twirled his beard and asked brazenly: "Ke Yu, when will you call us over that Duke Chu? There is someone from our hometown, so he must meet."

Others also hurriedly responded.

Xia Keyu had known for a long time what kind of evil idea this uncle had in his stomach. He must have wanted to establish a relationship with Chu Yuan and take the opportunity to seek a promotion.

When they go back, they can use this relationship to make a big fuss.

The next superior excused himself in embarrassment: "My niece really doesn't know when Chu Guogong will be free."

The others couldn't hide their disappointment after hearing Xia Keyu's words.From the looks of it, Xia Keyu didn't win over Duke Chu.

Seeing this, the hall sister Xia Keshi quickly interjected and asked:
"Ke Yu, I heard that your county lord's mansion is very big, when will you take us there to have a look? You see so many people coming, I'm afraid the house is not enough to live in, why not?"

Xia Keyu immediately retorted indifferently: "Cousin sister, don't worry too much, my mother and I have moved away, and there are many empty rooms, which should be enough for my cousin to live in."

Then he said: "After all, my mother is still in the county lord's mansion, and my mother doesn't like outsiders. In a few days, my uncle and the others will arrive too, so we can't move in."

Whether it's the uncle or the cousin of the Xia family, it's like a dog's skin plaster, once it gets on it, it's hard to get rid of it.

Although Xia Keyu refused decisively, what he said was not unpleasant.

Therefore, although everyone was unhappy in their hearts, they could only give up on the surface.Xia Keyu said a few more casual words, and when everyone started talking about Xia Kelian's wedding date, she excused herself to leave.

If there is no accident, Xia Kelian will choose the hottest day in summer to get married just like her original body in her previous life.

She'd better sit and wait and watch the show.

Seeing that the weather is getting hotter day by day, the business of Xia Keyu's shop has gradually taken off.

On this day, members of the Xia family hosted Xia Keyu again.Xia Keyu was so annoyed that she wanted to refuse immediately.

But I heard the servant laughing and said: "Miss, our master said that today is a banquet for Chu Guogong, please be there."

Now it was Xia Keyu's turn to be a little confused, why did Chu Yuan suddenly agree to the Xia family's banquet?
These few days she was busy with various things, and with Fan Shuyao also living in the house, the chances of meeting Chu Yuan were much less.

Since Chu Yuan was going, she had to go and see how the Xia family invited Chu Yuan over.

As soon as Xia Keyu arrived at the gate of Xia's house, he saw the chariots and horses in Duke Chu's mansion.Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan came quite early.

When Xia Keyu walked in, he saw Chu Yuan sitting upright with a serious face, and the obsequious Xia family members surrounded him, chattering about something.He just nodded.

Xia Keyu was a little helpless, obviously he didn't like these entertainments, how could he agree to the Xia family's banquet.

Seeing Xia Keyu coming, everyone hurriedly said happily: "Keyu is here~"

It was just arranging seats, Xia Keyu was arranged on the female side.Chu Yuan sat opposite her.

Xia Keyu looked at Chu Yuan with his eyes, and wanted to ask him if he had nothing to do, why he came to associate with people like the Xia family.

Chu Yuan went in without knowing, and looked at Xia Keyu more tenderly.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone in the Xia family was unwilling to lag behind. From Xia Fengyuan onwards, everyone raised their glasses of wine and talked loudly, looking proud.

Xia Keyu was somewhat convinced by this group of actors.

Until, Uncle Xia finally couldn't help expressing his heart, and flatteringly toasted:

"Good niece and son-in-law, I would like to toast you. You said that you are such a big official, why don't you raise your hand a little bit and raise your uncle and me up a level or two. It doesn't take much. It's good to be a prefect."

Speaking of this, he waved his hands in a tone and said: "There is no need for a rich place like Suzhou and Hangzhou. I think our local area in Huzhou is pretty good."

Xia Keyu sneered while listening.

Uncle Xia is only a seventh-rank sesame official, but now he wants to become a fifth-rank magistrate.It's really whimsical, is it true that Chu Yuan is the bastard in the wishing pool?
Just when Xia Keyu was worried that Chu Yuan would agree out of face, he only heard Chu Yuan say indifferently:

"I drank my uncle's toast. But the promotion of the official position depends on the examination results of the official department at the end of the year. It's better to do business."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

Uncle Xia on the side looked embarrassed, but he could only praise against his will: "My nephew is a good drinker!"

While Xia Keyu was secretly laughing in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a little worried. Chu Yuan's drinking was like drinking water, and he wasn't afraid of getting drunk.

Uncle Xia at the side also took the opportunity to ask: "Nephew and son-in-law, I heard that your Duke Chu's mansion is as rich as a country, and there are probably many ways to do business here."

If he can climb up to Duke Chu, he might be able to become an imperial merchant in the future.

Hearing the sound, Chu Yuan shook his head and retorted: "Uncle was joking. It's just rumors spread by outsiders about being so rich. As a Confucian scholar, Chu Yuan really doesn't know about business."

Uncle Xia's words were also blocked.

Seeing that after drinking for three rounds, Chu Yuan couldn't drink, and Uncle Xia couldn't hold back anymore.He yelled loudly: "Why is there no wine?"

Then he motioned to Xia Keshi and Xia Keqin who were at the side to bring over the wine, and reprimanded him: "Look at your unruly appearance, why don't you hurry up and toast Chu Guogong!"

Xia Keshi hurriedly walked over shyly, and said with her voice closed: "Keshi respect Duke Chu."

Xia Keyu took a closer look at Xia Keshi, the blush on her face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and she was wearing heavy makeup, she dared to say that she was going to poach her corner today.

She snorted coldly in her heart, but said nothing on her face. She also wanted to see how Chu Yuan would respond.

Chu Yuan didn't look sideways, and said in a cold tone: "A gentleman should drink only three nobles. Chu Yuan has had enough."

Xia Keshi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at her father in bewilderment.

Uncle Xia was busy trying to smooth things over, and then smiled shamelessly: "They are all from my own family, so what do you pay attention to. You said that Ke Yu was married, and the aunt and sister-in-law belonged to you alone?"

He is lustful, so he feels that all the men in the world are like him, how can anyone refuse the blessing of Qi Ren.

Xia Fengyuan didn't object either. In his opinion, if one more person could marry into the Chu family, the Xia family would be more stable.Anyway, it's Xia Keyu who made it bigger, so he won't suffer.

Aunt Rong, who had been sitting in the corner, was full of contempt. If this trick worked, she would have asked her own Kelian to try it.It seems that the Xia family's family style is nothing more than that, the one born by the eldest wife is no different from the one born by her second concubine.

Hearing the sound, Chu Yuan stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and tried his best to restrain himself: "The Chu family never takes concubines. Chu Yuan is drunk, so I will leave first."

Saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go and see him."

This time the Xia family was indeed embarrassing enough.
