"Xu Duo, hasn't this eldest son Xu always only dated heirs from various major families? Why did he actually invite me today?"

Meng Zhaojun's eyebrows moved and his thin lips pursed slightly. He was actually quite surprised. He asked Lu Le and Han Pu next to him in confusion.

Xu Duo is the eldest grandson of the Xu family's old man and the definite successor of the Xu family in the future. He is also a little famous within the county town.

But this fame is not all good.

As mentioned earlier, because Mr. Xu's title is limited to one generation and cannot be inherited. When he himself disappears, the Xu family will fall from the privileged aristocratic class. Therefore, the entire Xu family is thinking about how to keep this viscount in the family, which is best for generations.

In fact, the easiest way is naturally to join the army and make contributions like Mr. Xu. Although the Da Yong Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, the world is peaceful, there are still frequent wars on the border, and even expanding outward, expanding its territory, and not worrying about the opportunity to make contributions.

Since Mr. Xu was able to award titles for his merits, he had a relationship in the army. As long as the juniors of the family were not too bad, it would be no big problem to make some contributions on the battlefield.

But whether it is Xu Duo or his elders, they do not have the perseverance and perseverance to practice martial arts, let alone going to the battlefield like Mr. Xu, who fights the enemy with real swords and guns. That is not making contributions, it is giving away heads to the enemy.

This is not surprising. Most of the people who open business are powerful people, and those who are successful have not suffered much since childhood and are unwilling to suffer.

Therefore, Xu Duo turned to another path, that is, to make friends with noble people and cling to strong people, hoping that someone would support his Xu family in the future.

Even if the title of a noble cannot be preserved, the family can at least last and not decline.

This is not a shameful thing. For the Meng family, the honors of many generations need to be found in the Kong family and Baitou Mountain as their backers to enhance their heritage and influence. The Xu family's move is just to adapt to development.

But Xu Duo did this poorly and made him famous, but it was not a good reputation.

The main reason is that he has two external faces, such as interacting with the family heir and the future helmsman, he must be humble and polite, and respond to everything, because these people may be able to help them in the Xu family in the future.

If you interact with a child like Meng Zhao, you will definitely be arrogant and unruly. It is hard to say one sentence, it is very mean.

Because according to common sense, even if such non-heir children have achieved success in the future, they will be limited.

It is normal to see people serving, but it is inevitable that he will criticize him if he doesn't even want to pretend.

Therefore, Meng Zhao was curious. Judging from Xu Duo's personality, he probably looked down on him, let alone invited him to a banquet. Is there any trick he didn't expect?

Before Lu Le and Han Pu could speak, Meng Zhao suddenly thought of something and asked again,

"By the way, is there anyone there to send an invitation?"

Since Xu Duo likes to cling to the family heirs, the Nan'an Meng family, as a first-class wealthy family, has the strength, heritage and influence, and is also the goal of his Xu family's yearning for and hard work, and will never let it go.

He and Meng Xi often dated, saying that the guys were almost there, but they must have a close relationship. There was no reason to let Meng Xi not invite him, just invite him.

Lu Le carefully looked at Meng Zhao, and saw that his young master was just curious but not angry, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master is indeed as expected. Master Xu did send an invitation to the eldest prince."

There is nothing to hide. If you really attend the banquet, you will definitely not be able to hide it.

Meng Zhao nodded immediately, pinching the invitation with his fingers, a little hesitant.

He has no feelings for Xu Duo. He has no favors or dislikes, and is purely a passerby.

But Mr. Xu is upright by nature, brave and strong, and he still admires him very much. The Xu family itself has not had a small influence in Nan'an. If he can make friends, it will only benefit him and not harm him.

However, Xu Duo is obviously standing on Meng Xi's side, and it is impossible for him to suddenly change his mind.

"Could it be that he invited me to the banquet? The root cause is that the noble man from Yujing?"

This is a relatively reliable explanation.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhao was half nervous and half curious. He wondered who the person from the capital was?

Perhaps, he was the real son of the capital that Meng Zhao met at Dacien Temple. He had also memorized relevant identity information from a mysterious person. There were really many big fish in it, but he was afraid that someone would see through his identity.

The Meng family has never seen him for ten years and does not know Meng Zhao, but if they are familiar with Meng Zhao in the capital, it will be dangerous.

Instead, Meng Zhao suppressed the uneasiness and doubts in his heart and became firm.

If you want to confirm Meng Zhao's identity, you will have to face these things sooner or later, it is better to see them.

"Ale, you accompany me to the banquet tonight. In addition, prepare a generous gift. The nobles from the capital should not go there empty-handedly."

Lu Le smiled with a round face and nodded in response. He was the best at this kind of etiquette of welcoming and seeing off. He would not lose Meng Zhao's face. The gift he chose must be the most decent...

Minghualou, when I first heard this name, I thought it was a place to find flowers and willows, but in fact, it was a clean restaurant. It has been opened in Nan'an County for more than 20 years and has developed a good reputation. It is a good place for some wealthy and powerful people to hold banquets.

The Minghua Tower is twelve meters high and looks like a pagoda. The wooden building is soaked in pine oil and painted with red paint. It is resistant to wind, frost, rain and snow erosion, and will not break for a long time.

And because of the oil, I didn't realize it during the day. At night, the glass lights were dim, and the whole building seemed to be filled with a bright red light, as if it was a bright sun shining brightly in the first place, and it looked like a strange sight.

There were two doors outside the building, and two stone lions sat outside each. The plaques were also double, spanning two streets and covering a very wide area.

Whether it is the front door or the back door, you can go directly to the first floor lobby after entering. There are several areas inside, including those who sing music and storytellers, so that guests can have fun while eating and take the mass line.

When I arrived at the second floor, I started to set up a private room, and the sound insulation was excellent. Even if the first floor was noisy, it would not affect the interest of distinguished guests on the upper floor.

Besides, the craftsmanship of Minghualou is also at its top level. According to legend, the chef, the owner of Minghualou, was a disciple of Huangming's Imperial Chef. He had excellent cooking skills and a wide variety of dishes, steamed, chopped, fried, fried, and cooked.

He is best at singing flower mats, 72 cold and hot dishes, 28 sweet soups for snacks, and most of the ingredients are precious things. For example, meat dishes are mostly taken from something on ferocious beasts, and vegetarian dishes also have some medicinal properties. After eating, they will be full of energy, replenish qi and blood, and prolong life. It is a medicinal diet that is not medicinal food.

In addition, tableware is either gold or silver, and the scene is exquisite, and the meaning is excellent. Elders of all forces like to hold flower banquets on their birthdays and invite the most important guests.
