Chapter 39

Chapter 039 Four families go to the banquet together

Xu Xingxia stood up and said to her mother Wang: "Mom, please buy a few meats, vegetables, and some wine. I'll treat someone to dinner."

Wang said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

At this time, Liu Guangliang came to report that all the corpses of the Tartars were collected. All kinds of spoils were sorted out in different categories. Unfortunately, these Tartars were very poor and had no one. They probably were shot and killed before they started to wash and plunder. Although there was no harvest, Xu Xingxia felt relieved. The Tartars did not grab wealth, which means that they had not met a target that they could rob, and that no one was killed. This is of course a good thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Xingxia nodded and said to Liu Guangliang: "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

Liu Guangliang said with gratitude: "It's no hard work, everyone is very happy. Don't talk about dozens of Tartars, even if there are many Tartars, everyone is willing. Everyone says that with you, we will be much safer in the future."

Xu Xingxia nodded.

"Da da da da!"

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves rolling in the south came.

Zhang Quanfu looked up and saw that Peng Feng and the others had returned. He couldn't help but whisper: "Fuck! The Tartars are coming, they run faster than the rabbits! Now that the Tartars are gone, they run back! I've never seen such shameless people!"

Xu Xingxia frowned and said, "Don't say strange things."

Zhang Quanfu said angrily: "Master Xu, isn't it?"

Xu Xingxia ignored him and raised her voice and said, "Gao Meng, Liu Chuang, come here!"

The two of them hurried over.

Xu Xingxia waved and asked Zhang Quanfu to lean over, and said in a deep voice: "I guess the celebration banquet will be held as usual when Lord Qianhu comes back, and all the adults in the garrison may attend. The four of us have good results today, and I should have rewarded you. Since Lord Qianhu is organizing it, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha. In a while, you will all go to the banquet with me."

Zhang Quanfu said in surprise: "We? Attend a banquet? Is this possible?"

Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice: "What's impossible? I think it's entirely possible! Since it's a celebration banquet, how could there be no missing frontline soldiers who killed the enemy and made meritorious service? Are you all the bosses entertaining themselves? Of course not. In short, I will ask the Qianhu Lords. If you want to go, let's go together. If you don't go, we won't go."

The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were all very happy, but they were a little frightened. It would be a good thing to be able to eat and drink with the top leaders of the garrison. However, before, they were all the humblest military households, and they suddenly appeared in such an occasion, which was indeed a bit of ideological pressure. The simplest thing is that they didn't even wear patched clothes to attend the banquet.

Xu Xingxia seemed to understand their thoughts and said slowly: "We are just going to wear military uniforms. No matter how bad the military uniform is, it is also sent by our superiors and has nothing to do with us. As for the family, they can wear whatever they can. Everyone is poor, so there is no need to be a big shot. Just a meal, the boss probably meets us at most and says a few words. As for our family, they will definitely ignore it."

Zhang Quanfu nodded, agreeing with Xu Xingxia's statement.

In fact, it is already very worthy to let all four of their families attend the banquet. It is almost impossible to meet your bosses and their families. Others are the masters of Qianhu, the commander-in-law! What are these people? They are all senior officials of the fifth and third ranks! How can you little military households be able to compete with them?

Xu Xingxia said: "That's all, you guys are waiting here. I'll go to find Lord Qianhu and make a request."

After saying that, he walked towards Peng Feng and others.

When Peng Feng saw Xu Xingxia, he slowly stopped the horse.

For some reason, Peng Feng felt a little strange when he saw Xu Xingxia this time, as if he had done something wrong and was discovered by others. Even if he was thick-skinned, he felt that escaping from Weizhen Fort was a bit unkind. However, the defense of Weizhen Fort ended up on Xu Xingxia, which was Wang Shoulu's business. If Xu Xingxia was going to make any trouble, he would hand over Wang Shoulu.

Xu Xingxia bent down and saluted, saying respectfully: "There are thirty-five people who reported to the attacking Tartars in total, and they were all killed. The Tartars' bodies and equipment have been sorted out, so please check them."

Peng Feng's face was a little strange and a little uneasy. His eyes slowly turned and he said deeply: "Xu Xingxia, you have done a good job! You have made great achievements twice in a row, and it is true that you are young and promising! The celebration banquet will continue for a while, remember to come and attend on time."

Xu Xingxia nodded to express her gratitude and said respectfully: "Mr. Qianhu, my subordinates have a small request, so please agree to the Lord Qianhu."

Peng Feng frowned quietly and said slowly: "Tell me!"

Xu Xingxia straightened her waist and said in a deep voice: "Just just now, three brothers and their subordinates went out to kill the enemy, and each of them killed two Tartars. One of them was injured. The subordinates wanted to invite them to attend the celebration banquet together. I don't know the Lord Qianhu..."

Peng Feng thought Xu Xingxia would make some inappropriate requests, but he couldn't step down, but he didn't expect it to be a trivial matter. He immediately relaxed and said cheerfully: "No problem! Ask their family to come together!"

After bending down to thank him, Xu Xingxia said goodbye and left. He returned to Zhang Quanfu and the other two and said calmly: "Master Qianhu has agreed. You can go back and prepare now. In a while, take your family and gather at our house. Let's go to the banquet together. If there are many people and many people, you will not be restricted."

The three of them were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude. Even Liu Chuang, who was a little stupid, said thank you very rarely, and then hurriedly went to report the good news to his family. No matter what, it was definitely a matter of being able to bring his family to such a celebration banquet!

Soon, news about the three of them being the family of the celebration banquet spread. The other military households in Weizhen Fort were envious. Who would not be envious of such a good thing? Several Niujiaodun soldiers were even more regretful. If they had known this, why wouldn’t they follow Xu Xingxia just now? If they followed him, maybe there would be their own family on the list of people attending the celebration party!

Even Liu Guangliang's two sons, Xu Xingxia's two cousins, Liu Dachun and Liu Xiaochun, could not calm down. They were the closest relationship with Xu Xingxia, and they should trust Xu Xingxia the most. When Xu Xingxia went out of the city to chase the Tartars, they were the ones who should follow him the most. Unfortunately, they hesitated for a moment, and Xu Xingxia ran away. Now, both of them felt very upset. If they had followed him decisively, they could have attended the celebration banquet with the Xu family.

Zhang Quanfu and Gao Meng's family were still relatively calm. After hearing the news, they hurriedly started to arrange things. The women rummaged through the boxes and looked for clothes to wear out the house. The men called their children over and instilled things that need to be paid attention to at the banquet to avoid being rude at the banquet. What kind of things can men who have never attended the banquet say? As a result, many children were said to be confused. This is not accurate or that is not accurate. Is this going to jail? Fortunately, I heard that there is meat to eat, and the children's mood is slightly better.

Well, in fact, the word "trailer through boxes and cabinets" is very inappropriate to use here. Because they don't have a few clothes at all. Although they are small banners, they are actually similar to soldiers and their families are also very miserable. In addition, they have a large population, so they don't have enough pants to wear. There are only a few pairs of pants at home, so they can't evenly match them. Now they are going to attend banquets, so the problem arises. There is no way, so they have to borrow pants from relatives' homes secretly, and finally get enough. As for whether it fits, it's secondary.

Liu Chuang's father Liu Daming was not nervous at all, nor did he provide any educational reminders to his children. He just went from house to house and couldn't wait to inform him that he was going to attend the celebration banquet. He was doing things a little, but now he was even more so. He visited each other from house to house, without saying anything, just told others that I was going to attend the celebration banquet. What do you have? I can help you convey to your superiors...

Liu Chuang's younger brother Liu Heng was so anxious that he kept chasing his father. Along the way, he tried to pull his father back. This way, he was a little too much to promote it from house to house. Liu Heng felt that he was blushing. However, he could not stop his father's actions. Liu Da had a brain problem, but his body was fine, and his strength was greater than Liu Heng. You see, when he was carrying Xu Fuqing on his back, he didn't take it seriously.

Xu Xingxia just saw this scene and couldn't help but feel funny. Liu Da's head was really... He really couldn't find a suitable word to describe it. It turns out that Liu Chuang's brain was inherited. He held back his laughter, stopped Liu Heng, shook his head and said, "Liu Heng, forget it, your father is just happy, just let him visit each other from house to house. When the neighbors on this street are notified, he will stop making trouble."

Liu Heng said distressedly: "That's so embarrassing! What's this called?"

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "What's the shame? This is what your brother earned with his life! Do you know? Look at Gao Meng's arm, a large piece of meat is gone! Your brother has two war horses that were cut to death by the Tartars! If you are embarrassed? What's the shame?"

Liu Heng said aloud: "Okay, my dad... is so happy."
