Chapter 2396 Wedding Wine
Liu Huan was also very happy, so he took Cheng Zhangheng's hand and said, "We will be in the same department from now on!"
Bai Erlang always felt strange when he heard this. If he took the Mingjing exam next year, wouldn't he be one subject later than Liu Huan?
They have gone from being classmates to being seniors.
Bai Erlang glanced at him.
Liu Huan was clueless. Although his ranking was not very high, he was very happy to have passed the exam.
He grabbed Bai Shan and Bai Erlang and said to them, "When my family has a wedding banquet, you must come to my house to have the banquet."
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, saying, "You have to write our post yourself."
Liu Huan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will write the letters for my classmates at the Imperial College and Chongwenguan myself!"
Liu Huan wrote invitations himself when he returned. He not only wrote invitations to his classmates in Chongwenguan and Guozijian, but also wrote invitations to General Nie who had been traveling with him, and several soldiers who were on good terms with him.
After all, this banquet was not only because he passed the imperial examination, but also because he was granted the title of county baron.
That's right, the celebration banquet for his title has been delayed.
Liu Huan personally wrote letters to Bai Shan, Zhou Man and others, and Zhou Liru also received a separate letter.
Each invitation comes with a gift. After Zhou Liru received the invitation, he naturally could not be counted together with his sister-in-law, so he also had to prepare a gift.
But she has money now. Her parents are not in the capital, and her brothers and sisters don't care about her money. She keeps all the spoils and money she earned from following her aunt to the Western Regions.
So she dragged out her box from under the bed, took out a gold ingot, thought for a while and put it back in, took out a silver ingot, and changed to a smaller one and started thinking about what gift she should give.
Manbao went to the imperial farm, so Zhou Liru could only ask his uncle for advice.
Bai Shan smiled generously and said, "You are the younger generation, just follow us. Why do you need to bring a gift separately?"
Bai Erlang also showed his elder's style and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Yes, yes, we will prepare one for you when the time comes, you don't have to go with the uncles... Ouch!"
Bai Shan said, "Why are you yelling? How come you are her uncle?"
"Why can't I call him uncle? You are his uncle, so you have to call me uncle, right?"
Zhou Liru didn't give in to him and said, "Second Young Master, my aunt didn't let me call you uncle."
Bai Erlang said seriously, "I am your aunt's junior apprentice. You are not only your aunt's niece, but also your aunt's apprentice. If you don't call me uncle, what should you call me?"
Zhou Liru was stunned, but looking at Bai Erlang's face, he couldn't say anything. After a long while, he could only force out a sentence, "I also studied with Mr. Zhuang..."
"If you have the guts, call your aunt "Senior Sister."
Zhou Liru turned and ran, "I won't call you. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I'll figure it out on my own."
Zhou Liru thought about it herself and took the money to the bookstore to choose a good set of four treasures of the study for Liu Huan. She also bought a set of pen holders, pen washers, etc. In short, she prepared everything for the desk and then waited for the wedding banquet.
Minister Liu was also very happy. His heart, which had been hanging high in his chest, finally settled down. Liu Huan had passed the exam, which meant he had lived up to the emperor's expectations.
This will also shut up many people, so that they don't think that Liu Huande's title is not worthy of the title.
In fact, his grandson does have some abilities.
Manbao has already returned from vacation and moved into the imperial farm, so he can only ask for leave on certain days to go out for drinks.
Once she asked for leave, Doctor Lu was the only one left in the entire imperial farm. On the day she left, Doctor Lu stood at the gate of the yard with his hands clasped, looking at her.
Manbao smiled at him ingratiatingly, then turned and ran away.
She went home to change her clothes first, and then went to Liu's house with Bai Shan and others for the banquet.
The Liu family was bustling with activity.
Their family had not held a wedding banquet for a long time. Even when Minister Liu and Old Madam Liu celebrated their birthdays, they rarely had large banquets for guests. This was the largest one in recent years, so relatives and friends, even those from as far away as Jinyang, came in person.
Minister Liu was surprised. He hadn't sent the invitation that far, but since he was a guest, he could only whisper to the old lady, "Hurry up and send someone to the restaurant to order the banquet. Order as much as you can. Don't embarrass yourself."
The old lady agreed with a smile on her face, and only frowned after she returned to the room with the old lady's hand, "Why are there so many relatives and friends? Did our family send out so many invitations?"
"Madam, this is great news. The Second Young Master hasn't gotten engaged yet, so this is the perfect time..."
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Go and see what that silly boy is doing. This blessing is too great, he can't hold it."
The old lady's smile faded slightly, and she helped her sit down on the chair.
The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "Go call Steward Liu. I'll arrange a banquet with him. With so many guests arriving suddenly, regardless of whether they're here to congratulate us or have other plans, we should treat them well."
"yes."
Manbao and his group of people who had made great achievements with Liu Huan sat in a corner of the front tables of the lobby. It was not a particularly central location, but because Liu Huan, the host, was there, they were indeed the focus of everyone's attention.
General Nie was very happy after his trip to the Western Regions. Although he did not have a title, he got a real job and was very happy.
As soon as he saw Liu Huan, he laughed and patted his shoulder and said, "Mr. Liu is too polite. He even specially sent us such a beautiful invitation. Just tell us when you are having a drink. The brothers will come no matter where they are."
Liu Huan said with a smile: "Of course I have to give you a post. I wrote the post for you myself, and the pictures on it are all drawn by me."
These were the two greatest joys of his life, and he felt they were worth the effort.
General Nie was deeply moved after hearing this.
Lu Yue and the others who were listening at the next table were filled with jealousy and asked in a teasing tone, "Liu Huan, did you draw our poster yourself?"
Liu Huan said embarrassedly: "I wrote your post myself. Don't you recognize the handwriting on it?"
Lu Yue: "It's not enough to say that you wrote the words. Did you paint the pictures? They only stayed with you for a year when you went to the Western Regions, but we, your classmates, stayed with you for two or three years in the palace."
Bai Shan tried to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Please let him go, and let your eyes go too. If you want his paintings, after he passes the examinations of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, he'll have time to paint hundreds or thousands of them for you. Then you can hang them all over your house and let them be seen for you."
Zhao Liulang also said to Lu Yue, "You want his paintings, but I don't want them. They weren't painted by Bai Shan. Maybe I can sell them for some money in the future. Do I need to keep Liu Huan's paintings just to burn?"
Liu Huan immediately shouted, "You're going too far! Although my painting isn't very good, the orchids are still very lifelike."
Zhou Liru said, "So you painted orchids. I thought they were rice ears. They symbolize your ability to endure hardships and hardship, and your good qualities..."
Bai Erlang burst into laughter and everyone else laughed along with him.
See you at 9pm
