The banquet extended from the living room to the courtyard.
There were six tables in the living room, basically reserved for the prominent figures in Qingzhou.
What's on the outside... doesn't matter.
It doesn’t matter if people come or not, as long as the money comes.
The first ones to arrive were basically minor characters, and they probably didn't expect that the Crown Prince would even invite them to the banquet.
The wild goose plucks its feathers, and it makes you crazy!
It must have been a massive hemorrhage, and everyone who came basically gave him hundreds of taels.
He almost brought half the family in with him as a gift.
But...there's nothing we can do about it.
Don’t dare not give it!
What if the prince becomes anxious with you?
Who dares to bet?
No one wants to have a white tiger robe suddenly come to your house while you are sleeping, right?
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.
Now the prince is the big fish, the powerful are the small fish, and these little characters are the little shrimps.
If you say your house is confiscated, you may just do it.
evidence! ?
Qingzhou Yamen does not require evidence for sentencing. If I say it’s you, it must be you!
That’s not to mention the Zhennan Palace.
This is thanks to Chen Zegang's time travel and not adapting to Da Chu's survival rules. His moral standards have not been lowered, and he still has some restraint in doing things and does not dare to go too far.
Otherwise, they would probably have gone door-to-door with their troops to hunt down the local tyrants and evil gentry to divide their fields.
One after another, the powerful and powerful people in Qingzhou arrived.
Every move is extraordinary.
Just like the Wu family in Qingzhou, they sold out five thousand taels of silver notes in one breath.
However, for the Wu family in Qingzhou, this small amount of money is not a big deal at all, but just a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, these big clans have obviously discussed it.
Every family has five thousand taels.
After all, the wealthy family is confident and has given them a lot, so they are not so worried about Chen Ze causing trouble.
Moreover, the guests are all heads of the family.
When Guan Pinghou met the head of the Wu family, he had to politely call him "Second Master".
All the powerful and powerful people had arrived, and Chen Ze had to go over to accompany them.
As a result, when the family heads arrived and saw them, they were confused.
This prince celebrated his sixteenth birthday and didn't even show up?
Hiding behind a screen to eat?
Chen Ze coughed and said: "Today, I am very pleased that you can come to celebrate my birthday. I have received everyone's thoughts. Sure enough, Qingzhou is so warm and hospitable!"
"Unfortunately, our temple has been infected with wind and cold recently and has not recovered yet. I am afraid of infecting everyone, so I have to do this. Please be patient and considerate...cough cough cough..."
Zhao Ziyun even brought a bowl of medicine to accompany it, and the strong herbal smell spread throughout the living room.
"Everyone, eat quickly or the food will get cold."
The rich and powerful people thought that since they had given the money, they should be able to have a good meal.
If the palace entertains a guest, it must be a very good chef, or perhaps the chef from the palace is invited directly.
When I got to the table, I saw that it was too hot, not to mention the delicacies.
Just eight fucking dishes and a jar of wine?
Among the eight dishes, there are only two meat dishes, and the rest are all vegetarian.
Moreover, there is an extra pair of chopsticks on the table.
When we first arrived, everyone didn’t understand why there were so many pairs of chopsticks. The white tiger robe who led the way explained that they were serving chopsticks.
According to the rules of the palace, you can only use serving chopsticks to pick up food, put it into your own bowl, and then eat with your own bowl and chopsticks.
Those are the rules of the palace, so you have to abide by them.
Chen Ze was hiding behind the screen, chatting wordlessly with the heads of the family while eating.
Avoid being lied to and leaking information.
Anyone who can be the head of a family and manage a large amount of business is basically a human being.
Sensitivity to speech is very strong.
Talk as little as possible.
Playing tricks with the ancients?
Aren't you looking for abuse?
The ancients just had limited conditions and backward technology, which does not mean they had no IQ.
The modern success studies are basically things passed down from our ancestors...
To put it bluntly, my ancestors were bad at it.
Chen Ze didn't dare to play with his mind and language in front of these people. He didn't have that ability, especially his half-ancient and half-modern language description ability. It was not a big problem to deal with Qin Jinke's age, but he couldn't deal with these people. .
As a result, these clan leaders and dignitaries did not say a word for a long time after seeing Chen Ze, and they were so lifeless that they could not eat anymore.
The head of the Wu family in Qingzhou couldn't sit still and took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, today's birthday is a lively event and should be filled with joy. Has the geisha and singer not arrived yet?"
Chen Ze, who was eating behind the screen, was stunned and turned to look at Zhao Ziyun aside.
Zhao Ziyun quickly whispered: "Your Majesty, this... has not been arranged! Should I go to Wanhua Pavilion to find you now?"
If this little old man from the Wu family didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have thought about the whole song and dance show!
"The geisha singer from Wanhua Pavilion pays so much to appear, and her singing is not very good. She can't sing as well as I do. It's not cost-effective."
Chen Ze waved his hand, coughed and said to the outside of the screen: "It was originally arranged to help you all, but it turned out that they were all vulgar and vulgar and could not stand up to this elegant hall, so I sent them away."
"Master Wu, there should be many beauties and singers in your family. It's my birthday, why not invite them to sing and dance for everyone?"
When the head of the Wu family heard this, his eyes almost popped out of his head!
no! ?
I wish you a sixteenth birthday, so forget it and cheat me out of five thousand taels of silver!
Damn it, the singers and geishas are planning to prostitute me for free! ?
Before the head of the Wu family could speak, Chen Ze said again: "Ziyun, don't bother the head of the Wu family to run around. You can take people to the Wu family to invite them in person!"
"Yes, let's go now!"
"..."
The head of the Wu family suddenly froze.
Is this... so shameless?
"Master Wu, sit down quickly. I've already sent someone to invite you. You don't need to go there in person. You can just sit and eat the food. Why are you so polite?"
"Yes Yes."
The head of the Wu family is buzzing.
Damn it!
The geishas he raises at home are all top-notch. If they come to the hotel...will they still be able to go back?
Zhao Ziyun was so quick that he rushed to the Wu Mansion and invited the singer directly.
Twelve people!
It didn't take long for the Wu family's singers to be invited to the living room, and a space was specially made available. The song and dance performance began soon after.
Chen Ze put the screen up and heard the voice of the singing singer, which was so ethereal.
It really sounds good.
"Zhao Ziyun, have you seen everyone?"
Zhao Ziyun nodded quickly: "I've seen them before. They are all equally beautiful."
"Really or not? I don't believe it. You block it for me and I'll take a sneak peek."
"..."
Zhao Ziyun was standing next to the screen, and Chen Ze took a secret look, especially the singing singer.
Then, the interest was gone.
The singing singer is probably the same age as Qin Jinke, and the dancing ones are a little older, around thirty-four...
Others watched with great interest and looked intoxicated.
Chen Ze sighed silently.
It feels the same as going to see my niece’s grade report performance in sixth grade...
