Chapter 95 Banquet

After spending more than two hours at the livestock market, Hua Kai transmitted some management concepts to his family members, and everyone admired Hua Kai's ideas.

Seeing that some people had started to close their stalls in the market, the Hua family patrol management staff began to tell all stall owners that they would not charge stall fees below one or two silver coins in the future. The new tax collection standards of the Hua family in the market soon spread throughout Guang County.

Arriving at the gate of the county government, the Han family servants saw the Hua family and took them to the backyard of the Han Mansion. The Han Mansion was decorated with lights and colors along the way, and their caravan had to celebrate its return. It seemed that the celebration had not ended today.

Hua Kai was led to a side living room, and the servants brought snacks and tea, which the Hua family did not have.

After sitting for two hours, it was almost dark, and the happy look on everyone's face had disappeared. They heard that the Han family's direct descendants were greeting guests outside the courtyard, which meant that there would be many families invited to the Han family tonight.

Moreover, the earlier the Han family receives the guests, the more they are valued by the Han family. The Hua family heard that the Han family had at least a dozen waves of guests, but no one has invited the Hua family yet.

"Master, the Han family may not just want to marry you tonight. More than ten groups of people have come so far. I heard that many ordinary families in the city have entered the banquet hall. Why hasn't anyone invited you yet?" Er Zhuang was anxious and walked around in the side living room.

"Sit down. What the Han family wants to do is the Han family's business. I don't think it's certain that they will recruit me as a son-in-law tonight. Let's wait and see!" Hua Kai felt that the Han family's intention to target the Hua family this time was very obvious.

Although the Hua family is just an ordinary family, its strength in Guang County is no weaker than that of the ninth-grade family. Even if it is ranked in order, the Hua family should be ranked eighth except for the seven major families, but it was not until everything was quiet outside the door that the Hua family waited for the Han family servants to arrive.

"The banquet is about to begin. Please follow me, Mr. Hua." The servant said politely to Hua Kai, while another servant took the other members of the Hua family to the side hall.

"Wait for the banquet to end and wait for me in our weapon shop." Hua Kai said to Hua Mo and others and followed the Han family servants.

When he entered the banquet hall, Hua Kai saw that the entire hall was full of people.

The county magistrate Han Xu sat in the main seat, and the Zheng family and the Shen family sat below him on both sides. The Han family banquet hall was full of single sandalwood tables. In addition to the Zheng family and the Shen family, the Jia family and other families in the county sat below, with a total of more than 30 seats, leaving only the bottom table for Hua Kai.

The strength of the Han family was fully demonstrated at this moment. After Hua Kai sat down, he checked the attributes of the county magistrate Han Xu.

Hua Kai was dazzled by the pile of mental methods and martial arts. Han Xu was not only a Confucianist, but also a Taoist and a strategist. Although he was in the Qi training realm, it was probably that ordinary Xiantian realms would not be his opponents in a short time. When he broke through to the Xiantian realm, he would definitely be a rare master in the Xiantian realm.

Han Xu seemed to see Hua Kai's scrutinizing eyes, and he looked at Hua Kai. Hua Kai turned his head away quickly. It was rude for him to look at the Lord of Guang County like this.

"All of you sitting here are the best friends of the Han family. The prosperity of Guang County City requires the joint efforts of all of us sitting here. This year, the Han family's trip to the grassland has yielded good results. Take the opportunity to invite everyone to come and sit together..."

Hua Kai listened to Han Xu's gossip, and he slowly tasted the fresh fruits and fine wine on the table. These fruits were carefully selected, and there were even spiritual fruits among them.

The heads of the noble families sitting in front were flattering the Han family, and the ordinary families could only smile below. They did not have the strength to participate in the discussion circle of the noble families, and it was very good for them to come today. At such a banquet, even listening to a few more words of the discussion of the noble families would be beneficial to them.

When the fruits were almost finished, a team of beautiful dancers in revealing clothes came in. Hua Kai heard a sound of bells and drums coming from the screen behind him. It was time to dance!

Although Hua Kai had never seen the dance of this world, he felt that it was elegant and beautiful when he saw it for the first time. At this time, a maid brought today's main course, all kinds of mountain and sea delicacies, mainly wild beast meat.

This meal would cost at least hundreds of gold, and Hua Kai was shocked by the luxury of the noble families.

Unlike other heads of families around him, Hua Kai tasted the delicious dishes first when he saw them, while the people around him seemed trembling, fearing that they would be blamed by the county master for not being in place.

When the music and dance ended, everyone put down their chopsticks. Others who attended such banquets only tasted a little, but Hua Kai was really full.

Everyone knew that the main event of today's banquet had just begun. The Jia family, Ren family and other people who went to the grassland with the Hua family knew in their hearts that today's banquet was actually held for the Hua family. Everyone's eyes kept sweeping towards Hua Kai at the end.

"Today we have a new face. The Hua family has gained a lot from this year's grassland trip. I believe that you are all familiar with the Hua family masters." Han Xu finally mentioned the Hua family, and everyone began to pay attention.

The news that the county lord Han Xu wanted to marry his precious daughter Han Xin to the young master of the Hua family has been widely circulated in Guang County. Today, many people thought that Hua Kai would replace the Shen family and become another family in Guang County, but seeing the arrangements made by the Han family today, things might not be that simple.

Hua Kai sat at the end without saying a word. If the Han family really wanted to win over the Hua family, they should have proposed the marriage at this time. Today, the Han family has already cracked down on the Hua family enough.

"Family heads, we need to visit each other more in the future. I hope that all families can be of one mind, so that Guang County can become more powerful and prosperous. I toast you all." Han Xu stood up and picked up the wine glass. Everyone left their seats, bowed to the county master and drank the wine in the glass.

Then Han Xu stood up and left. He left time for the family heads present, and the banquet was coming to an end.

At this time, the head of the Jia family came to Hua Kai from the front to toast him, and the Ren family and other families came one after another. The influence of a family is often shown at this time.

Not long after, the head of the Zheng family began to toast everyone and leave. The heads of the Shen and Jia families also had to leave. After all the noble families left, the heads of ordinary families like them could leave.

As soon as Hua Kai and others left, they planned to leave with the Jia family. Hua Kai is not afraid of ordinary families in Guang County now. He will not leave later than the Shen family no matter what, which represents the dignity of the family.

The expected marriage did not happen. As soon as Hua Kai left the banquet hall, he was stopped by a maid of the Han family.

"Master Hua, please stay. The mistress invites Master Hua to the backyard for a chat." Most of these maids are 16 or 17 years old. They have clear voices, pretty faces, and gentle and polite words. They are obviously not ordinary maids.

"Please lead the way, young lady!" Hua Kai said in return.

Hua Kai followed the maid through several courtyards. Generally, outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard of a family. Most of the people here are female family members. Hua Kai can see patrol members passing by him every time he passes a courtyard. Their captains in charge of patrol are all in the Qidong realm.

"Please wait a moment!" They came to a beautiful house in the backyard. To enter this room, they actually had to climb two steps. The maid went back to the house to report, and Hua Kai waited quietly outside.

After a while, the maid came out and took Hua Kai into the room.

What came into view was an exquisite stone curtain. The maid opened the curtain for Hua Kai to pass through, and then she went out.

Hua Kai saw a woman in her 30s sitting beside a beautiful recliner, staring at him. A girl next to her knelt quietly beside her. Judging from her dress, she was undoubtedly Miss Shen.

"It is said that the head of the Hua family is young and handsome, and is a rare child of destiny. Today, I see that he is indeed extraordinary." The noble lady said, her voice was steady and noble, and she should be the wife of the county master!

"Hua Kai is an ordinary boy from an ordinary family. I can't stand such praise from the lady." Hua Kai said while bowing.

The Hua family is a subsidiary family of the Han family, so his etiquette must be in place, otherwise it will be bad for the whole family if it is spread that the Hua family does not know the etiquette of respect and inferiority!

Qi State attaches great importance to etiquette. All aristocratic families teach their children etiquette from an early age, and even etiquette has become one of their most important courses.

"As a young man, he can lead his family to the Xiongnu Kingdom. He has courage and bearing. The head of the Hua family should come to Guangxian Academy to study when he has time. The head of the Hua family will be 14 years old after the New Year! I don't know if he is engaged." The wife of the county master finally talked about the topic.

"No!" Hua Kai said.

"My daughter Rou'er is just 14 years old this year. She is very much loved by me and his father. When the head of the Hua family enters Guangxian Academy in the future, you can come to our house more often." The wife of the county master said with a smile.

In order to maintain their rule, many large families will gather some outstanding young people from affiliated families and send teachers to teach them.

In this way, outstanding young people can get a good education, and with the teaching of loyalty to the main family since childhood, large families will have many more talents to use. In case a family does not obey, these young people can also be used as hostages, which is the most common method of family rule.

Hua Kai looked at the girl in front of him who bowed her head and said nothing. Although she had a pretty face, she was far from stunning the entire Guangxian City. Hua Kai noticed her when he entered the door. As expected, as he guessed, this girl was not the legendary Han Xin.

When Hua Kai heard what the wife of the Immortal Master said, he couldn't help but feel angry. The other party's meaning was already very clear. He wanted him to come to Guangxian Academy to study, which was to be a hostage. And the one who was married to him was Han Rou in front of him.

Ordinary people can only marry one wife, and there is no limit on concubines. Aristocratic families can marry up to three wives, one of whom is the main wife.

Hua Kai has also heard that the county magistrate Han Xu has more than ten children, among whom the one in front of him is Han Xu's main wife. They only have one daughter, Han Xin, and this Han Rou must be born to Han Xu's other wives.
