Chapter 132.1: 番外 百日宴
Extra: The Hundred Days Banquet
After that group of people drink the juice brought by Chen Xing, they finally completely get rid of the embarrassment just because they were caught playing with the children’s toys, one by one again with the usual Gong Zi or gentlemen appearances.
Looking at the change of these people before and after, Chen Xing gently laughed a few times in his heart and only thought that these men were really cute.
When they finished drinking, Chen Xing accompanied them to chat a few words, until the subordinate came to say that the guests outside need to be greeted, Chen Xing and Gu Lang together with others leaving the group of people, Da Bao and Xiao Bao together to stay in the house.
Chen Xing and Gu Lang together went to the front yard, still a little uneasy to ask: “Leave them there, it doesn’t matter right? They came all the way here, don’t you need to keep them company?”
Gu Lang, however, showed extraordinary boldness, he looked at the worried Chen Xing, smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter, their adaptability is very strong, they will arrange themselves well. Moreover, there are so many things there, enough for them to play for a while.”
When Chen Xing thought of the scene he saw after entering just now, he couldn’t help but laugh in silence, nodded his head heavily, and stopped worrying about this matter.
Now, Chen Xing and Gu Lang was not the same with the previous poor and blank family, just from what they recovered from Zhao family and Chen family, their property are ranked on the top of the city, not to mention that after they receive those properties back and take care of it in order, so its assets are more and more solid.
Therefore, today, when they learnt that it was the 100th day banquet of the two children of Gu family, no matter whether they had connections or not, they all found the opportunity to come to congratulate them. The previously dilapidated courtyard was newly decorated, and the constant flow of guests added a lot of vitality to it.
By the time Chen Xing and Gu Lang arrived at the front yard, there were already many guests, all with big bags or small bags in their hands, all of which were congratulatory gifts for the two children.
When they saw Gu Lang and Chen Xing coming, all of them greeted them with polite smiles on their faces.
“Boss Gu, Gu Fu Lang, congratulations on the birth of your son.”
Chen Xing politely responded back to their salute, his face also always with a joyful smile.
Until Chen Xing was about to smile stiffly, there was another familiar person coming over, seeing the arrival of that person, the rest of the people were throwing admiring gazes towards Chen Xing, after all, for them this was already a great honor.
“Boss Gu, Gu Fu Lang, congratulations!”
The County Magistrate looked at Chen Xing and the others with a kind smile on his face, and behind him was Shi Ye (private adviser) , as well as his two nephews and nieces.
That once wantonly flamboyant teenager, with complicated eyes, looked at Chen Xing, who now had a harmonious family and was growing more and more good-looking, and finally reluctantly said, “Gu Fu Lang, congratulations.”
“Thank you very much!” Chen Xing remembers this stubborn teenager, hearing that he was sent out by his uncle for training some time ago, now he seems to have grown a lot, he smiled, and said towards him, “There are desserts in the hall before today’s banquet, if you like it, you can also try it together with your sister.”
The young man looked at him and nodded, then followed his uncle who had finished exchanging pleasantries and went in, never glancing at Gu Lang.
Sensing the teenager’s hostility, Gu Lang, not very concerned, hooked the corner of his lips, and then looked at Chen Xing at the side who was without half a sense and was still seeing off the guests at this time.
Seeming to be aware of the attention from the side, Chen Xing turned his head to see Gu Lang was staring at himself for a split second, he asked somewhat strangely, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing written full of confused looks, gently hooked the corner of the lips, faintly said: “Nothing, just suddenly thought, I do not know what the children will catch later?”
Chen Xing did not expect the always rational Gu Lang to think like this, his lips also emerged with a little smile, followed by: “Wait until the time, then we will know.”
Gu Lang couldn’t refute Chen Xing’s suggestion, then nodded his head and responded, “You’re right, we’ll know when the time comes.”
After greeting the guests for a while, the time was almost up. The housekeeper in charge of the house came out, bowed to Gu Lang and the others, and told them that it was time to get ready.
Gu Lang and Chen Xing left the task of welcoming the guests to the butler, and then led the subordinates to the children’s playhouse.
After finding the two children who were playing happily with the adults and changing into new clothes, the family of four headed towards the Rites of Zhou (in Confucianism) hall where the banquet and the weekly ceremony were to be held.
The originally chaotic hall, after the arrival of their family of four stopped clamoring, and then sounded louder and louder, with the most praises for their family of four.
Only to see two chubby and white little babies, being held by two adults like orchids and jade trees (fig. a child with splendid future prospects), standing in front of the crowd. The four members of the family were all equally colorful, and with the seemingly same style of clothes, it was impossible not to give them compliments.
“Thank you all for coming to our son’s 100th day banquet!”
Gu Lang, holding his little baby who was looking at Chen Xing, stood at the very front and said these polite words to the people below, and after saying this, he placed the baby at the very front of a big long table in front of him.
At this moment, the guests under the stage also quieted down, waiting for the next ceremony.
