As a man, Yang Rui had already thought about how to face it. He was very clear about the boundaries between emotional entanglements and trade-offs, whether it was in the game or in real life. If there was a need to trade-off,
"Brother, why are you so serious? Sister-in-Law Sisi and Sister-in-Law Xiaonan … and Sister-in-Law Xiaonan, that … We know that brother has been idle recently, and the officials and sister-in-laws that brother has redeemed haven't had a good gathering after coming to reality. So, Sister-in-Law Sisi and Sister-in-Law Xiaonan are preparing a delicious meal for everyone today as a welcome dinner … "
Xiaohui pulled Zhang Ning and Han Dai to sit down as she spoke to Yang Rui. It turned out that the three of them planned to gather everyone together. From the reactions of Ren Sisi and Chen Xiaonan, it also confirmed the content of Xiaohui's words.
Ren Sisi looked at Yang Rui and only nodded slightly to confirm this matter, while Chen Xiaonan avoided Xiaohui's gaze because of how Xiaohui addressed him. This was also the first time Xiaohui had addressed him in such a way in public.
Yang Rui was happy to see this. Chen Xiaonan's reaction had already shown her intentions. She was not at a loss because of the various entanglements inside and outside the game. Instead, she had slowly accepted playing a role in it.
"How are the three of you going to prepare? It's better to go to the nearby Chinese restaurant and order eight or ten tables of food back. You have to know that the officials and generals redeemed this time are all people who can eat and drink. I'm afraid it will be difficult to prepare well with just a few people … "
Seeing Chen Xiaonan's reaction, Yang Rui was in a good mood, so he also expressed his own opinions with interest. If Xiaohui, Ren Sisi, and Chen Xiaonan didn't mention this matter, Yang Rui really didn't think of formally gathering everyone together.
"We are also troubled by this matter. Sister-in-Law Sisi and Sister-in-Law Xiaonan also thought of ordering food at the Chinese restaurant, but we don't know how much they have ordered. Brother just happened to come back …" Xiaohui said.
"…"
Next, Yang Rui, Ren Sisi, Chen Xiaonan, Xiaohui, and Zhang Ning and Han Dai, who came back with Yang Rui, discussed for a while before deciding the scale of the order.
If compared with the game, the real world was better than the game world, in terms of cooking and brewing of wine, this was especially prominent in the performance of Chinese food.
Therefore, when Yang Rui and the others ordered food, they paid special attention to buying more wine, champagne, beer, and even the Chinese restaurant's home-brewed rice wine.. Yang Rui bought a lot of it. All these kinds of drinks were enough to drink for a while.
The Chinese restaurant owner saw that Yang Rui was so considerate of his business, especially when it came to drinks. He almost emptied half of his wine cellar. In MLQS, this kind of consumption of alcohol was not common. Since everyone was from Chinese, the owner specially sent three tables of drinks.
Before dinner, Yang Rui and a few others worked together to bring the food delivered from the Chinese restaurant into the soul item of Mount Tai palace. Only then did they pull down the line of all the subordinates and family members that had been cashed in.
After cashing in, all the subordinates and family members would be like ordinary players, using the game capsule. Therefore, no matter where they were in the game, they could be reminded to go offline through the game capsule equipment. There would be no problem for them to have dinner together.
After the subordinates and family members went offline, they were first confirmed to have nothing important to do. Then, they were arranged to sit in the Soul Item of Mount Tai Palace. A late welcome banquet began.
"Everyone, today, after being reminded by Madam Sisi, Xiaonan, and Xiaohui, I realized that I have not prepared a welcome banquet for everyone. Therefore, I have prepared a meal of coarse food and wine to welcome everyone into the real world.
Everyone has been dedicated to their duties, risking their lives, and working hard. I know, but I can't repay you. Today, I invite everyone to drink to your heart's content. We won't rest until we're drunk … "
Yang Rui gave a simple opening speech. Thus, everyone began to drink and talk freely, toasting each other, and so on. It was lively.
During the banquet, Cheng Yu and the others also openly talked about making six dragon carriages for Yang Rui, filling up the family members, and increasing Yang Rui's prestige and so on. Everyone applauded and responded. Yang Rui paid attention to Chen Xiaonan's changes. Seeing that he did not have any special reaction, he gradually felt relieved.
After that, Yang Rui also used the banquet as an opportunity to say that he wanted to find a good marriage for everyone present. It could be considered a "counterattack" against Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, Xun You, and the others. At the same time, these subordinates' major life events did indeed need to be considered.
In particular, those who had specific spouses in historical facts and romance were urged by Yang Rui several times.
For example, Zhao Yun. During the banquet, Yang Rui mentioned the matter of Ma Yunlu to her. He said that after going online, he would send someone to propose marriage on her behalf. Zhao Yun blushed, but she did not object.
In addition to Zhao Yun, Yang Rui also urged the unmarried subordinates to choose a marriage partner and report to him within three days. Whether it was the daughter of a noble or a wealthy family, Yang Rui promised to propose marriage on their behalf.
To be able to have Yang Rui personally propose marriage was definitely a rare opportunity. Looking at the whole world, there were probably not many people who could compare to Yang Rui's influence. Thus, there were some people who were tempted and considered which family's daughter to choose as their candidate.
However, the majority of people were still interested in alcohol. Yang Rui bought a large amount of alcohol from the Chinese restaurant. Regardless of whether it was white wine, red wine, champagne, beer, or rice wine, it could be said that they all had their own unique flavor. In this aspect, even the specialty level alcohol in the game might not be able to compare.
Alcohol in the game and alcohol in real life were two different concepts. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the difference between white wine and red wine. However, Yang Rui could see that among the many subordinates, regardless of whether they were famous historical figures or famous historical figures, they were still very interested in the alcohol in real life.
In the end, among the alcohol delivered by the Chinese restaurant, Yang Rui's subordinates, who were less than 30 people, actually drank 40 to 50 bottles. One must know that most of the alcohol was white wine. The proportion of the remaining alcohol was slightly lower.
As for the food, everyone had practically cleaned out the 10 tables of food ordered by Yang Rui, in addition to the 3 tables of complimentary food. It was equivalent to three to four times the normal amount. From this, it could be seen that the combat strength of Yang Rui's subordinates was not only reflected on the battlefield.
Fortunately, Yang Rui had prepared enough food and alcohol, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves to their heart's content.
It had to be said that the banquet was very good at improving relationships. In the past, Yang Rui did not pay too much attention to this aspect in the game. In the future, he would have to add more activities in this aspect.
After the banquet ended, everyone went back to rest. Very few people went online. Yang Rui, however, logged into the game.
At this moment, Yang Rui could be said to have released the knot in his heart. It was rare for him to be relaxed.
