Chen Chen and Zheng Junnan were resting in the pavilion. A servant came over and said that the banquet had begun and asked them to follow him to the banquet.

After following the man in red walking through the mansion for a while, they arrived at the banquet prepared for them by the Fan family.

Now there are two rows of guests sitting in the room, and behind each person there are two or three followers standing respectfully. There are huge bouquets and exquisite candlesticks on the table, which actually leaves a lot less space for dishes. Hi,

Who comes here just to eat food?

Zheng Junnan immediately saw Zheng Li who was waving to him. He said goodbye to Chen Chen and went over to sit next to his father.

Chen Chen looked at the people sitting on both sides of the table. At the front were the organizers Fan Zuolin and Fan Chengxu. The ones behind them looked to be quite old, and they must have been high-ranking officials in the imperial court. For them, they were very clear about their status.

However, Chen Chen's understanding of the people at the scene was only the first time he met. He was heartbroken, closed his eyes and found a random seat to sit down. If no one reminded him, it would be okay.

People kept coming in from outside the door, and people gradually filled up both sides of the table.

“The time is up, let’s have a banquet!!!”

A loud sound came, passing through everyone's ears and flying to the door. Two teams of pretty maids walked to the table carrying plates of prepared delicacies.

"Okay," Fan Zuolin raised his glass and stood up, and all the guests also stood up, "Thank you all colleagues for taking the time to attend my child's birthday banquet despite your busy schedule. If there is any need in the future, Fan

You must try your best.”

"no, I'm fine."

"City Master Fan is so polite!"

Fan Zuolin raised his hand, raised the wine glass in his hand high, and said: "Please."

Others also raised their cups and said in unison: "Please!"

After toasting, and everyone taking a sip of their own glasses, Fan Zuolin put down the glass with his left hand, spread it down with his right hand, and said, "Please sit down."

"please!"

Everyone sat down again, and at this moment, the banquet really began.

The sounds of chopsticks clashing with plates, wine glasses and men's laughter kept coming to his ears, but none of these attracted the slightest bit of Chen Chen's attention. He didn't come here just for the twists and turns in the officialdom.

At this moment, his eyes were all focused on the dishes in front of him.

The dishes in front of him include carrots and green radishes carved into peacocks, with just a few pieces of stewed meat next to them; there are tofu cut into hair-thick pieces, and some green and red vegetables soaked in soup.

Inside, there was a square piece of mashed potatoes piled into a square shape, with a huge peony painted on it using some kind of sauce.

Looking at these dishes, Chen Chen raised his chopsticks and put them on top of the peacock meat. He hesitated and then pulled back. He picked up the spoon to hold a spoonful of potatoes, hesitated again and then pulled back. No, these dishes looked very delicious.

The grandeur can also be seen as the chef’s profound skills, but you can’t help but eat it. I want to eat mashed potatoes, but I’m afraid of destroying the beautiful painting on it; I want to eat stew, but there are only a few pieces; I want to eat tofu, and I don’t want to eat it.

Chenchen said that he had never seen those colorful vegetables before and didn’t know if they could be eaten. How to put the tiny tofu in it! (Is there a possibility that this is soup?)

Chen Chen poked his head out into the distance, and there were yellow threads wrapped around something unknown, which looked like insects. (People who love food are furious!) There was even one that had been hanging around since he put it down.

Thick smoke was emitted outside, making it impossible to detect what was inside.

Seeing Chen Chen's unsteady manner in holding his chopsticks, a servant appeared from behind him and said, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

His voice suddenly sounded, startling Chen Chen. Chen Chen quickly said: "No, no, I'm just... allergic to potatoes."

Wow, someone is actually watching me while I'm eating here? Chen Chen's heart moved, and he pointed to the distance and said, "Hey, someone is calling you over there, go and have a look."

"Okay, I'll take my leave."

Finally, he sent the people behind him away. In order not to look so unsocial, Chen Chen picked up the chopsticks and kept putting them into his mouth even if he didn't pick anything, pretending that he was also enjoying the delicious food.

Finally, the birthday banquet came to an end amidst the words of everyone. The sky was now dark, and even the moon was obscured by unknown dark clouds. Someone had already stood up and said hello to Fan Zuolin before leaving. Chen Chen tried his best to

He scanned everyone present with his hidden eyes, but did not find Zheng Li and Zheng Junnan. He thought they must have gone back, so he stood up, said goodbye and wanted to leave.

What he didn't expect was that when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Fan Chengxu.

"I'm sorry, you can't leave now. Father has something to do with you." Fan Chengxu said.

"Oh?" Chen Chen snorted softly. They ignored him during the entire banquet, thinking they had forgotten me. "Why did your father call me here? It should be more than just a meal, right?"

"

Fan Chengxu squinted his eyes and couldn't see clearly what he was thinking in the dark night light: "Why, you will know when you look at it next time?"

"Hahahaha, okay." Chen Chen rolled up his sleeves and turned back to the banquet. He found his seat and sat down again. He filled a cup of tea by himself and tasted it without squinting.

Chen Chen stared at the light yellow tea in the cup, but his mind was not here at all. Even if he didn't look in that direction, he could still feel a burning gaze projected from the top of the table. Hum, I want to see what you guys are doing

There's something fishy to do.

At this time, Fan Zuolin, the leader, did not show any flaws on his face, and still had his smile that left no trace: "Everyone, I discovered an excellent flower-viewing place outside the city in recent days. There are large flowers planted there.

The 'Strange Dream Orchid' covers an area of ​​100 square meters. As we all know, this flower can fully show its beauty at night. How about we go to enjoy the flowers together now?"

Fan Zuolin, as the host of the banquet, who dares to disagree with what he said at this moment? Everyone nodded in agreement with that hypocritical smile.

Fan Mansion is located in the most central location of Yuyang City. Walking to the outside of the city would not only take a long time, but would also be a very arduous task for these wingless birds who have lived in the Mansion for a long time.

Therefore, in the end, there were only five or six people who accompanied Fan Zuolin outside the city. But again, these people all held high positions and were very close to him. After a while, each of them represented their family.
Chapter completed!
