Whenever there is a family affair, the villagers will definitely help. If it is a kind-hearted family, people from the surrounding villages will even come to help.

This is true for an ordinary family, let alone Gu Tianya who brings benefits to the common people.

Almost all the villages within [-] miles around were mobilized for this baby tiger's full moon baptism. This was the result of Gu Tianya's constant obstruction. Otherwise, it is very likely that the people of the entire Miyun County would participate, even the entire Tanzhou, and even the entire Hebei Road.

Since ancient times, the hearts of the people have been the most honest, and they want to repay whoever treats them well.

……

Eighty tables had already been set up in the courtyard before the station inn.

The six-year-old Lu Zhaolin was leading the way and came slowly with a huge team of guests. At this time, I saw four other little guys who were already standing at the gate of the courtyard to greet them. It was Cheng Chumo and others who ran over ahead of time.

As disciples of the Gu family, the four little guys have too much to do today. They just took off the task of singing the gift list, and turned into a child who knows the guests at the banquet.

"Please!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

One by one, one sentence after another, hundreds of guests were seated in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the four little guys.

At this time, some guests were shocked to find that there was already a little boy waiting beside each banquet table, and they were all dressed in Taoist costumes. Temperament, it is obvious that they are all carefully cultivated disciples of the Taoist sect, but it is unexpected that they will serve as waiters at Gu's banquet.

However, this is not an insult to the Taoist sect, but it is extremely enviable.

For example, Duan Zhixuan's wife had a longing look on her face, she couldn't help sighing to her child in a low voice, and said, "My son, have you seen that although your father has some friendship with Gu Tianya, that friendship has not yet reached the level of the Tong family. Otherwise, you are qualified to be a waiter today."

Duan Zhixuan's son-in-law is already 12 years old. Hearing this, he puffed up his chest like a little adult, and said in a crisp voice: "Mother, don't envy others, let's see that the child will fight for you. I heard that Mr. Gu likes studious children the most. The child must do it." A person who works hard, maybe it won't take long for a child to become a disciple of the Gu family, even if he can't reach the true inheritance of Cheng Chumo and the others, but he is very confident in being an elite disciple of the sect."

Duan Zhixuan's wife was very pleased, but she still couldn't hide her envy when she looked at the group of Taoist children.

Mrs. Duan Zhixuan's envy is obviously just a microcosm of the guests and friends.

At this time, all the guests who came to congratulate were seated, and saw a young girl walking into the courtyard gracefully, and said with a crisp smile: "My Gu family, thank you again, please wait a little bit, all guests, don't dislike the Han family's hospitality. water."

Being able to say these words before the banquet started represented the identity of the host of the banquet. The guests present looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Just because the identity of this girl is a bit special.

She is neither Xiaoqing Xiaorou, Zhaoning's maid, nor the younger sister of Gu Tianya's generation, but she is actually Gu Tianya's fourth disciple, the woman named Tan Xiao.

This thing is worth savoring.

You must know that since ancient times, there have been many solemn rules for entertaining guests at banquets. For example, children who welcome guests and know them must choose the generation of nephews and nephews of the host family. Grandchildren are also fine, but they must not be of the same generation.

Only the intellectuals who host the banquet must be of the same generation of the host family, which symbolizes the importance of those who come to congratulate, and it would be very rude to choose a junior.

However, Tan Xiao's identity is Gu Tianya's apprentice. According to his seniority, he belongs to the nephew's generation. If this matter is strictly calculated, it would be considered extremely rude.

But everyone knew that Gu Tianya was impeccable in his work, and it was absolutely impossible for him to make mistakes in this kind of matter. Princess Pingyang was born in the royal family, and it was even more impossible for her to ignore such a major event.

So!

Why Tan Xiao?

It is neither Xiaoqing Xiaorou who followed the princess since childhood, nor Ma Sanbao who is the first retainer of the Gu family, but Gu Tianya's disciple, and he is also a low-ranking disciple.

"It seems that we must treat Miss Tan Xiao differently from now on..."

There are no mediocre people who can come to congratulate the tiger baby, almost everyone is an upper-class figure in this era, some things just need a little thought, and they will soon understand the truth.

At Gu's banquet, Tan Xiao came forward. This is the posture of being in charge of household chores. Obviously, this girl Tan Xiao has obtained the permission of the main wife. The right to not be a regular wife is great.

Without the nod from his wife, Princess Pingyang, this girl Tan Xiao would never be able to host the banquet.

She is clearly the person that Princess Pingyang approves of.

In the future, she will assist Princess Pingyang, the wife of the Gu family, and be in charge of all the household chores of the entire Gu family.

……

The guests paid attention secretly in their hearts, but their faces remained beaming with congratulations. At this moment, the banquet finally began to serve.

But at the gate of the compound, Cheng Chumo and others reappeared. The four disciples had just taken off their identities as guests, and suddenly turned into the leader of the team.

However, it was not just the four of them who led the team.

……

...the 1st update, followed by the 2nd update

Chapter 204 [I also have elders in my family, and I sent a giant treasure in time]

I have a backstage in Datang Chapter 204 of the main text volume [I also have elders in my family, and they sent giant treasures in time] There is a sharp-eyed lady who is watching with her head up, and she can see at a glance that these children serving dishes are all extraordinary, especially the few leaders. Little guy, his status can no longer be described as noble.

Walking in the first position was a boy about 15 years old.

The young man's complexion was solemn, with an even and steady temperament. The ladies subconsciously whispered, and said softly: "It's actually Li Chengdao. I didn't expect him to be the first."

Then he woke up, nodded secretly and said: "Yes, yes, this is about family affection, not based on power. Li Chengdao, as the son of Li Jiancheng, is the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Tang royal family. Princess Pingyang is his aunt. Baby Tiger is his little cousin, so he will be the first person to serve the plate at the banquet."

"Ms. Gu really pays attention to family affection, even the arrangement of this small matter is full of affection."

At this time, the little guys who served the dishes had already filed in.

The guests kept observing, and their hearts became more and more shocked.

Walking in second place is Li Shimin's eldest son Li Chengqian. This is the future prince of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he will also be a boy carrying a plate today, and these guests who come to congratulate him are served by him. glory.

The one who walked in the third place was a little guy that everyone was not familiar with, but someone recognized it, and couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "This little guy is called Li Chengdu, and he is the descendant of Li Yuanji, King Qi of the Tang Dynasty. eldest son."

Looking back, he was shocked again, and said: "The fourth is Duan Yan, the son of Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. The mother of this little guy is Princess Gaomi. Unexpectedly, he was arranged to be the fourth."

A group of children serving dishes kept causing the guests to exclaim that there were seven or eight members of the Tang royal family alone, and there were also seven or eight relatives of the real power faction. Behind them were Cheng Chumo and others. Some Taoist boys are responsible for serving the dishes.

Shuttle back and forth, every time the guests smiled and gestured, almost all the guests straightened up subconsciously, feeling that today's banquet can be regarded as a lifetime honor.

During the August festival, the autumn was high and crisp, and more than 80 banquet tables were gradually filled with dishes. At this time, someone noticed the situation of the dishes, and the color of shock appeared in their eyes.

Why shock?

Just because they don't even know these dishes.

You must know that the people who can participate in the baby tiger's full moon baptism are almost randomly picked out as honorable officials, or rich and powerful, and the last one is from a middle-ranking family.

Although it can't be said that every family is full of bells and lanterns, but the most basic food, clothing and wealth are still available. What good things haven't been eaten?I haven't seen any good things, but at this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, and found that these dishes on the banquet were really new.

At this time, Gu Tianya finally came slowly, but seeing behind Gu Tianya, Princess Pingyang was wearing a turban, and the guests present got up quickly, knowing that this was the part where the host was coming to announce the opening of the banquet.

Sure enough, Gu Tianya bowed his hands, smiled elegantly at all the guests, and said: "Gu's family is poor, and the family has no meager wealth, but today's guests come to congratulate, so we have to treat them carefully. Fortunately, the people in the village raise some pigs, and Because I was poor and eager to eat when I was young, I prefer to study food, and I have slowly researched some good things. I dare not use my broom to cherish myself, and use it to blog..."

He paused for a while, took Zhaoning to the main table, pointed to a table of dishes and chuckled and said: "Dear friends and relatives, this dish is called Badawan, I gave them a more appropriate name, shameless Call it a whole pig feast."

Then he stopped again, then raised his chopsticks, and said sincerely: "As the master, thank you again, the sun is almost noon, I dare to invite you to open the table."

The guests sat down together and said with a smile, "Thank you Mrs. Gu for your hospitality."

Next, eat.

It's terrible to start eating this time, only to find that the dishes are surprisingly delicious.

There were more than 80 tables in the banquet, and there was the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks everywhere. The scene was extremely grand, as if there were four or five hundred gluttons.

Gu Tianya exhaled lightly, turned his head and met Zhaoning's eyes, the couple reluctantly let go of a big stone in their hearts, knowing that the hospitality link was finally over.

Next, I have to worry about returning gifts.

Don't worry about it, it's because the guests gave too many gifts.Since ancient times, etiquette has been reciprocated, and the gift should be returned to the same level, but Gu Tianya has just risen, and such things as background are almost empty-handed.

It is okay to ask him to come up with various secret recipes, but it is impossible to ask him to come up with all kinds of rare treasures.Just a year ago, he was having trouble even eating.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw an old Taoist approaching quietly. This old Taoist was none other than Yuan Tiangang whom he had seen before. I have something for you. It was prepared for you by an elder, and it can be used as a return gift for the guests..."

Gu Tianya was visibly shocked, and subconsciously looked towards the back mountain.

After a long time, he let out a breath and said slowly: "I forgot, I also have elders. There are elders in the family, like a treasure. I only worry about the difficulty of returning gifts, but forget I also have elders who can help me."

He paused for a while, his tone became more emotional, and he murmured: "It's such a great happiness to feel like an elder is alive."

Yuan Tiangang stood on the side respectfully, and replied in a low voice: "The things have been transported to the village, why don't you go and collect them first, so that you can arrange a gift in return."

Gu Tianya didn't raise his foot, but turned his head to look at him, and asked: "Since the elder has prepared something, I don't know if he has made any arrangements. If the elder has already made arrangements, as a junior, I will It’s not good to make any changes.”

Sure enough, Yuan Tiangang nodded and said with obvious admiration: "Little uncle is worthy of being smart. The elder did make arrangements. He drew up a gift list, and you can return the gift according to the gift list."

Gu Tianya let out a breath again, and sighed more and more emotionally: "This feeling of being arranged by others is really longing for a long time. I think I, Gu Tianya, can finally experience it."

Zhaoning next to him was confused, but seemed to have some understanding, she reached out to hold Gu Tianya's arm, with inexplicable joy in her tone, and whispered: "Tianya, Tianya, is that elder?"

Gu Tianya nodded slightly, with the same joy in his tone, and said, "Yes!"

The couple looked at each other and saw the happiness in each other's eyes.

The Gu family is becoming more and more complete.

I just don't know what gift that elder prepared for them in return.

Since he dared to take it as a return gift, it must be of a corresponding level. The guests who came to congratulate him gave so many gifts, many of which were rare treasures. That is to say, the things that the elder took out were also treasures.

Really curious and looking forward to it.

……

...The second update, 2 words today, the update time has been slightly advanced, I hope you like it.

Chapter 205 [Mr. Gu's father is a god? 】

Since ancient times, when giving gifts to others, there must be a scene.

For example, in the case of a full moon baptism, the gifts of the guests are blessings, so the gifts should be given on the bright side, and the heart of the congratulators will be shown amidst the turmoil.

Therefore, there is the saying of singing a list of rites.

A chant says everything. The host arranges a special welcome and reads the guest's gift list aloud. This is not only a kind of respect, but also a kind of thanks.

However, there is a saying of reciprocity in etiquette, and what is important is that if you send something, you must return it.

And when the host returns the gift, it is another opposite operation, most of which are silent and delicate, without loud noise or fanfare, just quietly when the guests leave Even though the guests knew it well, they did not refuse to return the gift. The tacit understanding between the host and the guest was incomparable.

The guests will not read the gift in person, no matter how curious they are, they have to hold back, and they will only check it carefully when they get home.

Speaking of this, there is just an interesting story.It is said that the ancients paid more attention to the rules, and generally would not do things that destroy the tacit understanding, but there is an old saying since ancient times, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are always some people who think they are smart, and they will do things that cause trouble. Laugh at the ugly things through the ages.

During the Sui Dynasty, there was a joke in Henan Province. It was said that there was a family whose child was full moon. On the day of baptism, relatives and friends came to celebrate. The scene at that time must not be comparable to that of the tiger baby This level, but there are also many relatives in that family. The day of the baptism was lively and lively, and the singing of the gift list made the neighbors who watched the excitement exclaimed again and again.

The gift lists presented by relatives were very heavy, often including treasures such as 'Golden Hook Fishing Jade Card, Pearl of Qinglong Opera' and so on.

"Relying on the child's full moon, I didn't expect to make a fortune..."

This was the mind of the head of the household at that time.

As for why there is such an idea of ​​getting rich, it is because the family is going to use some tricks in the gift return link, what tricks are they going to use?It is nothing more than an exaggeration.

So, the joke came out.

It is only said that after a relative had finished the banquet, he hurriedly bid farewell to the host's house and returned home. Because he was too impatient, he couldn't wait to get back home. As soon as he left the village, he hurriedly opened the door. I checked the package that the host gave him as a return gift, only because the gift list when the host returned the gift excited him. On that gift list was written a return gift of 'the treasure of prolonging life and prolonging life'.

As a result, when I opened it, I stood on the spot in a daze. There was only a small jar in the bag, which was empty, and a small note was attached beside it, which said, "Man can survive because he breathes the air of heaven and earth." 'It turns out that the so-called treasure of prolonging life is just a small jar of air.

The relative cursed out of nowhere, gritted his teeth and jumped into a rage, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, and was heartbroken that the gift he had given was not returned.

But at the same time, the host's family also began to look at the gifts given by the guests. Unexpectedly, the excited faces did not last long, and the whole family felt that a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads.

It turned out that the "Golden Hook Fishing Jade Card" presented by the guests was half a block of tofu with a few bean sprouts on it. The white bean curd symbolizes the jade card, and the yellow bean sprouts represent the golden hook, which is an eye-catching name. In fact, this thing is not even worth two copper coins.

This 'Golden Hook Fishing Jade Card' was given by that relative who cursed at him.

It just so happened that the gift from the master's family was "the treasure of prolonging life." '

Both the guests were playing tricks, trying to take advantage of the opportunity, but it turned out that "the table rolls down regardless of high and low". It spread to the court and the emperor's ears...

At that time, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, that is, the most famous old man in history. After hearing the allusion, this guy felt an inexplicable kindness, because of the behavior of this family and those relatives. His behavior is all the same as that of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. They are the kind of people who use their brains to take advantage of their own ideas.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty couldn't help expressing admiration because he felt kind, but he was accidentally written into the book by the historian.

"It's not a family, don't enter a family!"

That word came from that time.
