Chapter 853: The Most Joyful Celebration Banquet!

d to copy them well with his classmates.Of course, the dean wouldn't refuse. He settled the matter in a few words, and Jiaren was also listed in his heart.After all, a year later, when these four hund..."Alright, coming, coming!" The village head quickly laughed and replied.

He then called on Ye Shan, Jing Lizheng and the villagers to help entertain the soldiers. Only then did he take Zhao Shu and Liu Biao Tou and others to Li's courtyard.

Among the five hundred soldiers, most were veterans, but half of them were having their first meal at Suijin Beach.

Right now, with large bowls of liquor being drunk and big mouthfuls of meat being eaten, even the white steamed buns can't get a drop of wine at this feast. The staple food is roasted flatbreads!

A new recruit couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, asking the veteran beside him.

"Big brother, are we just going to eat this much Won't we empty General Li's pantry"

The old soldier knew this young brother had a hard life, so he laughed heartily and gave him a big piece of braised pork belly, saying, "Just relax! Do you know where this is This is Suijin Beach, a feng shui treasure bestowed by the imperial court!"

"Not to mention, the jade cucumbers planted in summer, one cucumber costs a silver ingot!"

"And the fruit from the mountain, five or six of them are more expensive than a whole basketful for other people!"

When we left in the spring, there didn't seem to be as many pigpens and chicken coops at the foot of the mountain, nor any warm sheds built. I guess the county princess had some new idea again, and the village had found a new source of wealth.

He chuckled, seeing the soldier's surprised eyes widen. He pulled him aside with a hint of smugness and said, "There's no point in explaining further, you wouldn't understand. Just keep following General Li back, and you'll figure it out eventually."

"Best you get the guts to join the bodyguard of Lord Hou or General Li. Then you'll be able to settle down in Ercun, that would be something to celebrate!

"

"While you fight on the battlefield with peace of mind, your wife and children in Ercun also enjoy their blessings. "

There was a village with noodle shops, vermicelli shops, and dim sum shops. You could just find any job there, and the wages were high...

Such conversations were happening at almost every table.

The villagers, upon hearing this, naturally swelled with pride and joined the laughter, introducing the new recruits and veterans to the village's recent changes...

Next to our house, in Li's courtyard, there were wine tables set up in both the main hall and the east and west rooms.

The master, Li Laosi, Li Zhensheng, Li Laoer, Li Laosan, and Mr. Wen, along with Liu Zhiheng, Mr. Jiang, Zhang the Divine Doctor, the village head, Zhao Shu, Liu Biaotou and others who came to join in the fun, filled the main hall.

Xi Wang was entertaining Zhi Min, Xiu Jie, Liu Yang, Gu Li, and Guo Wen Hao.

Of course, Guli came with Mr. Chiang.

And Guo Wenhao has been serving ink and brushes by Mr. Wen recently, and Mr. Wen also brought him back to join the festivities.

In the east room, of course, Old Madam Li was leading Mrs. Wen, Huiniang, Wu Da’s wife, Liu’s sister-in-law, and Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru, Wan’er, and Wenci, all seated at a table full to the brim.

On the kang, there was a small table where He Mamā, Tian Mamā, Qióng's wife, and Dongmei were watching over several children, including Xīngxīng, as they ate.

Shui Ling and Shui Yun, along with Chang Mama, Lin Mama, Xia Qing, and others, served the banquet, adding dishes and refilling rice.

Shuilin and Shuicun were used to this, but Chang Mamma and the others were seeing such a lively scene at home for the first time.

Especially, this was the first time they had seen Lord Hou and Li Lao Si.

Even Li Lao Si, no matter how capable he was, was still the fourth master of the household.

But the marquis was different!

He was the first-ranked military marquis in Tianwu, commanding an army of 100,000, and also the emperor's cousin. He could be said to have immense power!

Now he eats and laughs with everyone, like a young master next door. He is handsome, kind, and approachable.

If he was polite to Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen, that would be understandable, as they were all officials serving in the same dynasty.

But the village head and Zhao Shu and the others were just old men of the village, and even the lord was quite close to them, even personally pouring wine for the village head...

Even though they were surprised inside, both Granny Chang and Granny Lin were old enough that it didn't show on their faces.

But Xia Qing, Wan Qiu, and Xiao Dong, several maidservants, couldn't help but steal glances. Xiao Dong even blushed.

Shui Ling's sharp eyes detected it immediately, and she sent Xiao Dong to the kitchen to watch the fire.

Jia Yin sat between the Marquis and her father, happily munching on shrimp peeled by her father one moment, then taking a bite of meatballs served by her godfather the next. She was so happy, it seemed like bubbles were rising from her head.

It's not just that her two great protectors have returned, but also because both her father and stepfather are safe and sound.

To know the battlefield is dangerous, even a Great Luo Immortal can't guarantee they will remain unscathed.

What could be more joyful than the safe return of loved ones!

With so many people around, everyone avoided sensitive topics. They only talked about this year's harvest, the business in Onsen Valley, the construction of pigpens and chicken coops in each village, and warming sheds. They also inquired about the progress of the war...

One meal, eating until the sun set, added two dishes twice, drank five altars of wine, and the banquet was finally over.

And at this moment, five hundred soldiers were already in the hot springs, gleefully splashing about!

Liu Zhiheng had drunk quite a bit. People sent a message to his family back home, and then he took his two sons to rest on Broken Gold Beach.

He ran to the Wen family and slept with Mr. Wen.

Of course, Zhimin and Xiujie would want to cause a ruckus on the same kang as Lǐge'er and Māo ge'er.

Mr. Wen felt sorry for his young apprentice who was always alone at home, so he let him stay with the other boys, hoping that he would pick up some of their lively energy.

The lord chatted with the old lady for a few casual words before going back to wash and change his clothes.

All the members of the Li family closed the door, dismissed the maidservants and female relatives, and sat together to talk about their own affairs.

Wan'er and Wenjuan were nieces-in-law, and as they didn't want to stay long, they listened for a few sentences before taking their children back to the backyard.

Tao Honying and Zhao Yuru were busy leading people to tidy up the three courtyards, settling five hundred soldiers.

In a short while, only Li Laotai leading her sons and Jia Yin remained in the house.

Li Laotai pulled her youngest son to sit beside her and carefully inquired about his eating, drinking, dressing, and whether he was injured outside.

Li Laosi answered all of them, and even lifted his shirt to show his mother the front and back, confirming there were no new scars. Only then did Li Lao Tai feel completely reassured.

Li Lao Si looked at his daughter smiling and not speaking, feeling a little guilty.

On the battlefield, how is it possible not to be injured

He showed his mother his front and back because he was injured in the leg.

His left leg was pierced by a javelin thrown by the barbarians, leaving a gaping wound.

If it wasn't for his childhood friend's medicine, which was domineering and quickly stopped the bleeding, he was probably limping even now...

Fortunately, Jiayin didn't intend to expose her father. She simply made a pot of honey water with her own hands and offered it to her father and uncles to help them sober up.

Lao Si finished the honey water in his cup and quickly changed the subject, "Mother, this morning I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to see Jia Yi."

This kid is really bold, even after serving time in prison, he doesn't take it seriously. He even picked up a martial arts fanatic and fights with people every day.

Sure enough, when it came to this grandson, Old Lady Li immediately started scolding, "This stinky boy, nobody in the family should take care of him, let him suffer a little and learn his lesson."

"To go all the way back to Xindu and cause trouble without even discussing it with your family!"

Li Laosi sold his nephew without hesitation, and quickly said, “At the dinner table just now, Liu Biao said that Liu Yang found a wife for himself in the south”

Besides, his father-in-law's family was influential in the local area and a great help to Liu Yang.

"I wonder what Jia Yi is thinking He's always eager to be first in everything, yet he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to find a wife!"ip, luring Huilan back and then dealing with her. They would definitely give us some consideration!""But look, as soon as they came in, they started making excuses to smash things. This shows that the...
