Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Everyone talked a lot. Zhao Zhen saw that Liu's mother, who was sitting in the back, was in low spirits and said: "I am tired from running all the way. I have arranged the house and asked General Liu to bathe and change clothes. He will come here for the banquet in half an hour." "

Liu Guang listened and stood up to say goodbye. Zhao Yuanli led everyone to settle down. The more than 20 bankers and their families who were accompanying him, as well as the maids and adoptive mothers of Liu Guang's family, were also divided into several barracks for temporary accommodation.

After Liu Guang's family took a bath, they all changed their clothes and went back to the living room, where food and drinks had already been arranged. Since Liu Guang's family had many female relatives, Zhao Zhen invited Cheng Wan'er, Bai Zhi, and Jin Cuilian to accompany them, and they set up another table and drank wine separately with a screen.

In the hall, in addition to the three Yang Xiongs, Zhao Zhen also invited the leaders of the garrison at the village, as well as Wu Yong, Lin Chong and others to accompany them. After everyone sat down, Zhao Zhen made three rounds first and said, "If we can get General Liu to vote today, why worry about Liangshan County not being prosperous? Today I will take over General Liu's favor, and secondly I will reward all the brothers for their hard work."

Wu Yong and other heroes said: "It's all supported by high officials. If it weren't for this, we would still be struggling in the world."

Liu Guang also stood up and said: "A person who has broken his family is very lucky to be taken in by a high official. As long as the high official has instructions, he will not hesitate to die."

At the banquet, more than a dozen villagers and a few stewards took turns holding the lamps, serving and urging people to drink. Zhao Zhen repeatedly urged Liu Guang and his son to drink alcohol with ease, and Liu Guang thanked him endlessly. When the wine was half full, Liu Guang once again mentioned that corrupt officials were harming the country.

Lin Chong said: "Gao Qiu is a small person who is lucky enough to be promoted. How many brothers have real talent and learning is all due to Gao Qiu's promotion. When he suddenly ascends to a high position, corruption and malfeasance are nothing more than ordinary things."

After Wu Yong heard this, he also said: "Who can say otherwise? On the birthday of the imperial master Cai Jing, there were filial piety everywhere. Liang Taishu of the famous mansion even sent more than 200,000 gold and jewelery shells to celebrate his birthday this year. Wasn't all this money obtained from looting? If it were not for Kong Mu and Kong Hou’s care, General Liu’s property would not be preserved.”

Liu Qi also had fifty-seven cents of wine, and followed Wu Yong's words and said: "Who said it was wrong? I was annoyed, so I went to rob this birthday party with my two brothers..."

After hearing this, Liu Guang scolded: "You evil beast, what are you talking nonsense about?"

Bao Xu shouted: "What's it worth? Brother Liu Lin is not the only one who has this idea. Everyone can get the ill-gotten gains."

After hearing this, Liu Qi ignored his father Liu Guang's obstruction and said, "That's it. It's a pity that I don't know the way."

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Although I can't wait to rob this birthday plan, there are heroes in the green forest who are planning. I heard that Song Jiang is now the king of Qingzhou [Timely Rain], and he has many soldiers and horses under his command. He has sent elite soldiers and generals to ambush. This There should be news on the 3rd or 5th day.”

Liu Lin said: "It's a pity that we don't have the chance to participate in this grand event."

Liu Guangdao: "Forgive me, the high official, but the villain has no way of teaching his son, so let these two ignorant people talk nonsense here."

Zhao Zhen said: "General Liu, there is no need to be like this. Both of these brothers are gentlemen. Even here, there are many good men who want to plan this ill-gotten wealth. This Liang Zhongshu squeezes money in this way, harms the people, and robs this money." Money, just let him know that ill-gotten gains are easy to gain and easy to lose.”

Liu Guang felt relieved when he saw that all the heroes behaved as they should. Thinking that he had worked diligently and inspected the city defense, but now he had ended up seizing his position to serve the people, he naturally became resentful towards the treacherous ministers in the court. I also drank a few more glasses of wine.

During the banquet, due to the situation of Liu Guang, father and son, the heroes initially recognized the three of them. During the banquet, Liu Qi and Liu Lin chatted quickly and got along with Lu Fang and Guo Sheng. The four of them were ordinary young heroes, and they made an appointment to compete in martial arts and teach skills tomorrow.

On the other side of the screen, Cheng Wan'er and the other three entertained the Liu family's female family members, and they were also enjoying themselves. When Cheng Wan'er saw Liu Huiniang, she said, "How can there be such a good woman in the world?" Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian also said, "I feel pity for you when I see her."

After hearing this, Liu's mother smiled and said, "Madam's appearance and figure are better than those of Chang'e in the Moon and Fairy Yaotai."

"Did my sister marry someone else?" Cheng Waner asked.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu said: "My official and Jingyang Town Yuntianbiao have met on official business, and they are on good terms with each other. We often exchange letters. I would like to be engaged to his son, named Yunlong. Unfortunately, there are changes in the family this year. It never came in time.”

Zhuang Yun, Liu Qi's daughter-in-law, said: "I heard from my father-in-law on the way that Jingyang Town is nearby. When I settle down and have some free time, I will go to Mr. Yun to reminisce about the past."

Jin Cuilian curled her lips: "The general manager of Jingyang Town is no longer Yun Tianbiao."

Liu Lin's daughter-in-law Zhong Ling said: "How could this be? Huiniang's marriage has changed again."

Mrs. Liu also said anxiously: "Madam, can you elaborate?"

"It's nothing. At the beginning of the year, the general manager of Jingyang Town changed people. Now the general manager is [Xiao Li Guang] Hua Rong, and the deputy general manager is called [Flying Hammer] Fu Yu. Now all the officials in Jingyang Town are under the supervision of my family. Jurisdiction. Yun Tianbiao heard from the officials that this guy seems to have gone to Qingzhou. I don’t know anything else, so I still have to ask the officials. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu twisted the prayer beads in her hand and said: "Good things take a long time, and men always have to make the decision on such big things. I have been running all the way, and my body is tired and my stomach hurts. I will go back and rest while you wait for a few more with my wife." Let's get closer." As she said this, Mrs. Liu stood up and left.

Cheng Wan'er said: "Old madam, please wait a moment. Since she has a stomachache, sister Bai Zhi happens to be good at medicine. Why not let her take a look?"

Mrs. Liu said: "I've been suffering from this disease for several years, and it's not getting better even after taking medicine."

Angelica dahurica came forward, carefully diagnosed the pulse, asked about the diet, and said: "Old lady, your disease is caused by eating. You eat a vegetarian diet every day, and the stomach qi goes up and down. It will be better with some meat and fish."

Madam Liu said: "Yes, Madam is talking about it. There is a man named Kong Mu in Yizhou City, named Kong Hou. This man is a good doctor. He takes his medicine and it will be cured after just one dose. It can only remove the root cause. According to him , it is necessary to prescribe meat to cure the disease. My mother-in-law is dedicated to worshiping the Buddha and reciting the "Gaowang Sutra" all day long. Since she is aware of the disease, I would like to ask her to prescribe medicine to stop the pain. "

Bai Zhi nodded, wrote down a recipe, and asked the waiting woman to take it, and then sent a villager to ride a horse to the Xixi Village medicine shop to grab the medicine, fry it and send it over.

Several people stood up and thanked Bai Zhi, Liu Huiniang said: "Sister, is there a radical cure?"

Bai Zhi said: "As Madam said, if you eat some meat every day, the disease will be cured. Since the old Madam refuses, you can try drinking milk."

After everyone heard this, they thanked Bai Zhi again. Mrs. Liu then helped the old lady go down to rest.

After the two left, Liu Qi's daughter-in-law Zhuang Yun, Liu Lin's daughter-in-law Zhong Ling and Liu Huiniang felt much more at ease. The six of them continued the banquet. Zhuang Yun said: "Madam, what kind of wine is this? It's sweet."

Cheng Wan'er said: "This is the peach wine brewed in the county. In addition to [peach wine], sister will try [Yicheng wine], [Huajia Baijiu], [Yimeng Mountain wine], and [Xinghua wine] to see if it tastes good." If you like it, I’ll have some sent to your place tomorrow.”

Everyone raised their glasses and tasted all the wine on the table. Liu Huiniang praised: "This [Yimeng Mountain Wine] is no different from the best restaurant in Yizhou Prefecture."

"There are several heroes from Yizhou in the county. One of them is [Smiling Tiger] Zhu Fu, who is best at making vinegar. The recipe for [Yimeng Mountain Wine] was given by him. Nowadays, wine and vinegar brewing in the county is promoted. He is in charge of the banquet arrangements, and he arranged the banquet today," Cheng Wan'er said.

"No wonder, it's a restaurant outside the west gate of Yizhou Mansion?" Zhong Ling asked.

"How do you know?" Cheng Waner looked curious.

"My family lives just outside Ximen, and I often go to his house for wine and meat. After I got married, I rarely went to his house. I saw him in the hall today, and I just felt familiar. I didn't think of it for a moment, and I didn't dare to come forward to talk."

All the girls laughed after hearing this: "I didn't want to have such a reason."

Jin Cuilian even said: "I spoke to the official at night, and the guardian surprised him. There are such coincidences in the world."

Everyone drank a lot of wine, chatted here and there, and the parents made short talk. No matter who it was, Liu Huiniang could always respond to whatever they said. She was indeed very knowledgeable. Cheng Wan'er saw this and became even more kind to Liu Huiniang.
