Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The most outrageous were the families of Cheng Yaojin and Cui Yixuan. They brought their entire family, young and old, here as if they were going to take advantage of a wealthy family.

Moreover, Cheng Yaojin was so shameless that he secretly approached Du He and even threatened him in his words.

"Du He, it is said in the court that your technique of making Overlord Bull Hoof is the best in the world!"

"I am here today with a valuable gift. You must get me a bull hoof to try."

All the civil and military officials are here today, and a group of princesses are also here. How dare Du He engage in blatant beef?

And how many oxen are needed to feed so many people?

Du He smiled and said, "Duke Lu, you can't say that. Killing oxen is against Tang law. How dare I do that?"

"The story of Overlord Ox Hoof is completely untrue. It was spread by others and should not be taken seriously!"

Damn it, I don't know who leaked the news, saying that he is an expert at making Overlord Ox Hoof!

Is it the Crown Princess Su Wan, the Crown Prince Li Jue, or the Princesses Changle and Xiangcheng?

That damn girl Linglong might be a possibility too!

One day she couldn't finish half a cow's hoof, so in order not to waste it, she took it to her good sister Taozi to try.

When Cheng Yaojin learned that Du He could not prepare the Overlord Ox Hoof today, his whole expression was full of resentment, and the expectation in his heart instantly dropped.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Du He, don't play dumb with me, you have to get me a cow's hoof today no matter what!"

"If I didn't have Overlord Bull's Hoof today, I would have shown no mercy later!"

After saying this, he angrily walked into the room on the left with his hands behind his back.

Du Gou divided the guests who came today into different rooms according to their status and closeness to the three Du He brothers.

People like Li Chengqian, a group of princesses, and their families were in the same wing room with the main family.

Important officials such as Cheng Yaojin, Ma Zhou, Xue Wanche, Liu Li and Cen Wenben were arranged in the room on the left.

Next came the East Palace's staff, as well as Du He, Du Gou and Du Aitong's friends, who were in the room on the right.

The rest of the officials and people from aristocratic families were arranged according to their status; the higher their status, the closer they were to the master's chambers.

It can be seen from the arrangement of the banquet seats that whether it is in the court or in ordinary wedding banquet seats, they are arranged according to the status of the people.

The brothers Du He and Du Gou, who were responsible for entertaining the guests, acted separately.

Du He was responsible for entertaining a group of important officials in the court and their friends, while Du Gou was responsible for entertaining other officials and people from aristocratic families.

There was no other way, since there were only three brothers in the Laiguo family.

Even though Du He didn't like this kind of reception, he had to go ahead with it.

When Du He walked into the room where Cheng Yaojin was staying with a jar of wine, Cheng Yaojin picked up two jars of wine and said with a smirk on his face.

"Drinking from a wine bottle is something only weak scholars can do."

"Du He, if you are a man, drink from the jar!"

After hearing Cheng Yaojin's heroic words, a group of people around who were looking for fun started to cheer and make a fuss.

In particular, General Xue Wanche of the Right Guard was in high spirits because he was going to marry Princess Danyang in a while, and he was extremely excited.

He also held up a jar of wine and said, "Since Duke Lu is so generous, I can't back down. I will also take the jar of wine and drink with Minister Du later!"

"But Mr. Du has to entertain quite a few people, so half a jar of wine will suffice this time!"

As soon as Xue Wanche said this, generals such as Hou Junji, Wang Jun'e and Qiu Xiaogong picked up the wine jars on the table and shouted that they wanted to fight with Du He.

Seeing this bunch of military generals fooling around, civil officials such as Liu Li, Ma Zhou and Cen Wenben all shook their heads speechlessly, with a smile on their faces as if they were watching a show.

Of course, they didn't want to see Du He make a fool of himself, but to see these reckless men being dealt with by others.

After all, the prince is right next door, and they dare to betray Du He, a core aide. They are quite bold.

Du He looked at the wine jar that was over a foot high, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Cheng Yaojin is such a difficult guy."

And looking at the posture of these military beasts, they seem to want to get him drunk!

Before Du He could answer, Li Chengqian's deep voice came from the next room.

"I'm going to have a couple of drinks with Du He later, and no one is allowed to get Du He drunk!"

"Whoever gets Du He drunk will be held accountable!"

Forehead...

The expressions of Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche, who were originally complacent, froze in an instant.

I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would notice such a small matter.

Du He spread his hands and said, "Generals, I have to drink with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later, so I really can't drink with you from the jar."

"But today is my brother's big day, I will definitely not let the generals go home disappointed."

"I will call Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai and Su Dingfang over later and ask them to have a few drinks with you. There is plenty of wine today, so you can drink as much as you want."

Seeing that the prince personally supported Du He, Cheng Yaojin could only touch his nose in disappointment.

After this little episode, nothing unexpected happened at the wedding banquet.

Many civil and military officials who came with a purpose held up wine bottles to toast Li Chengqian.

Furthermore, it was not difficult to hear from their words that they had great respect for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and hoped to serve him in the future.

In response to the officials expressing their feelings, Li Chengqian naturally nodded with a smile on his face.

The purpose of his attending this wedding banquet was not only to support the Duke of Lai's Mansion, but also to have close contact with these ministers.

The banquet is in progress.

There was also the noise of people outside the mansion. When Du He and Du Gou looked confused, Du Dafu said with a guilty look on his face.

"Master, Second Master, when the bride was being welcomed, thousands of people blocked the road and demanded money."

"I was afraid of wasting time, so I told the people that our Laiguo Mansion would also give out some money as a gift."

He originally just wanted the people to stop blocking the road, so he made up an excuse, but he didn't expect these people to take it so seriously.

Du He smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, go to the government office and get 5000 coins. Send someone to distribute them to the people so that everyone can have fun."

Although it was wrong for Du Dafu to make the decision without consulting the host, a group of important officials were having dinner there and they couldn't be made unhappy by such a small matter.

Besides, it's only 5 strings of cash, not a lot of money.

Du Dafu said quickly: "Second Master, I will go right away."

Not long after, the gate of Duke Lai's mansion slowly opened, and Du Dafu and several servants were throwing out handfuls of money.

"The Duke of Lai's Mansion really keeps its word!"

"Unlike the people of Jingzhao Du family, they are just a bunch of misers!"

The people who found the money loudly praised the generosity of the Duke of Lai's Mansion, and the voices of various blessings lasted for a long time.
