Chapter Ninety-Eight: Seeing a Hundred Things

"Shh~" I don't know who gave the silence indication, and the people in the courtyard gradually quieted down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

A bird screamed into the sky at such speed that it was almost impossible to see, and when it flew high into the air, it exploded and turned into a brilliant firework. And the shape of the fireworks, too, happens to be a bird. Then, the second, the third...... Countless rare birds are transformed into golden and purple fireworks, and finally connected into a gorgeous and continuous sea of flowers.

Cranes, phoenixes, peacocks, Qingluan, Annihilation, Golden Crows, and various legendary magical birds appear in the night sky. They stretch their necks and wings, flutter their wings and dance, nine colors, smart changes, and dress up this boundless night sky as Qionglou Yuyu, the Immortal Palace Treasure Pavilion.

While the guests were enjoying this rare fireworks extravaganza, a rumor had quietly spread: Wan Guohou was not in the mansion at the moment, and only the chief manager was supporting the faΓ§ade. Most of the gossiping people have a bit of a schadenfreude mentality, because whether they are late or absent, it is a very rude thing, and this happened to happen at the first banquet held by the Marquis of Wan Guo in the Demon Capital, which was really an unfortunate beginning.

At half past six, the moon set on the terrace of the small white fan-shaped building. Her hair is meticulously coiled, her golden cheongsam clings to her body, and the embroidered crystals sparkle in the light, like a finely carved work of art. What surprised the guests even more was the pride and awe on her face: "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce to you with great pleasure, Mr. August, Marquis of Wan Guo. ”

With a wave of her hand, the band began to play on the other side of the terrace, far away from her. Accompanied by a majestic melody, a group of solemn-faced people lined up in a neat echelon began to sing. The choir was immediately recognizable by the guests as the Collegium-Vocale-Gent, founded by Philippe-Herreweghe in 1970.

Then new patterns appeared in the sky: sunflowers, dandelions, marigolds...... Flowers of all seasons are in full bloom in the sky above the crown. What's even more amazing is that the end of each petal will float down countless small flowers, just like a curtain of flower waterfall.

In the middle of nowhere, green fireworks appeared. Each of them is divided into four petals, and the petals are in the shape of a lovely peach, and some people excitedly say, "It's clover!" After these clover plants are extended, new clover grasses are born on them, and so on, forming a huge magic carpet of emerald color.

When the last clover was gone, a golden light rushed into the sky.

A second later, eight spherical colored fireworks slowly rose one after the other. If you look closely, you can see that the surface of these fireworks balls is also colorful and patterned. These eight fireworks go up very slowly, so slow that people have plenty of time to take pictures and sigh. A man with a strong scholar's breath was so excited that he almost dropped the wine glass in his hand, "These are the eight planets?!"

The fireworks are still blooming, and every time a firework rises, the faint starlight is connected with the previous fireworks, forming an undulating sea of stars. Amid the brilliant fireworks and magnificent singing, an astonishingly large carriage gradually appeared in the sky.

It is a horse-drawn carriage converted from a helicopter, driven by eight winged pegasus, slowly and gracefully galloping through the galactic night sky. Horse-drawn carriages and flying horses are adorned with countless golden stars, which are particularly dazzling against the backdrop of fireworks. The beautiful chorus and solemn performance just do the right thing to hide the noise of the aircraft engine, and make it more like a fairy tale dream carriage.

Amid the exclamations of the people, the carriage slowly stopped in the night sky. The door opened, and a ladder hung down. The sharp-eyed man immediately cried out, for the ladder was made of fireworks, and it burned very slowly, fluttering against the wind, until a golden path was paved in the night sky.

Wan Guohou stepped out of the carriage in a cloak, wearing an extremely simple black silk collar suit and a neat black bow tie, looking as if he was about to blend into the night sky as black as ink. But his steps were so graceful, his posture so erect, his countenance so leisurely, and the heavy light reflected behind him, that one forgot that he was walking in the air. He seemed to be free from the restraints of gravity, and just walked along the staircase paved with fireworks to the terrace.

The moment he stepped onto the terrace, he untied his cloak and threw it casually. The servant who had been standing by early in the morning immediately took the cloak and bowed down.

Pegasus raised its hooves again and quickly disappeared into the night sky, and then the band and choir stopped.

"Good evening. Wan Guohou scanned the guests in the courtyard with his green eyes, these jade-like deep eyes contained many complex emotions, warm and cold. He blinked his long eyelashes as if he had a lot to say, and for a moment, people thought he was about to burst into tears. And in the end, all he said was, "Have fun." ”

He bowed politely and coldly and turned to leave.

"Oh my God, is that really the Marquis of Wan Guo?" said a lady who was closer to him, excitedly, "and his Mandarin is too good to be a foreigner." ”

"It's really impressive. Another lady said, "Although he did not apologize, I have forgiven him for being late." ”

"Didn't you see that he was black-haired? Could it be a half-breed?"

"Hou Ye is not a half-blood, you look at his complexion, he is as pale as a vampire. An elderly gentleman said. "He must have dyed his hair black. ”

"What a strange man. ”

Whether it's people who are curious about his hair color, who admire the standard Chinese he speaks, or who are surprised by his "carriage", there is a warm message: It's-amazing!

"Ah, isn't this Mrs. Nan?" a noble lady recognized Tao Baihe and greeted her.

Tao Baihe saw his acquaintance and was very happy: "It's Mrs. Sha." She looked at each other affectionately and said enviously, "Your pearl necklace is so beautiful!"

"Yes, it was given to me by my son, and it is said that it was a gift from Napoleon to his second wife. Mrs. Sha shook her neck proudly, and the huge pearl was inlaid with a circle of dense broken diamonds, almost blinding Tao Baihe's eyes.

"Ling Lang is really filial. Nan Zeyu walked over with a wine glass and raised his glass to Mrs. Sha like an old friend. "Mrs. Sha, why didn't you see Minister Sha today?"

"There are a lot of people today, and it's not convenient for him. Mrs. Sha took a sip of wine, "Speaking of which, the last incident bothered you. Her tone was light, and Nan Zeyu immediately heard the voice, "Mrs. Sha, please come here." He winked at his wife, and then walked to the side with Mrs. Sha.

Not far behind Tao Baihe, Yu Yijian was eating a lot. He ate a lot of flounder fillets made with Spanish tomatoes, white truffles, and white wine, and he also took some artichoke lamb chops. Sui Qingliu sighed, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Baby, don't spoil your stomach." ”

"Mom, I'm bored, so I have to eat. Yu Yi gradually shook his fat short arm, "When can I go home?"

"Stay a little longer, baby. Sui Qingliu comforted his son in a good voice, but Yu Yijian was not moved at all, "Then you give me a glass bottle, it's the kind of one with snowflakes in it! ”

Sui Qingliu said with a headache, "I told you everything, that one is Hou Ye's, you don't want skin, okay?"

"What's wrong, Doctor Sui?" Yue Shuluo walked over, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Hey, can you tell me what that glass bottle is for?" Yu Yi's gentle attitude when he saw the moon gradually fell, and he had the courage to yell at her.

"Yu Yichuan! Be polite!" Sui Qingliu's reprimand was like a tickle to Yu Yichuan, and he was indifferent at all.

"Do you ask about the crystal bottles? That's the weather bottle. Yue Shuluo said patiently, "It's just to put some special liquids in the bottle, when the weather changes, these liquids will precipitate out and become different crystals, isn't it beautiful?"

Yu Yijian was just about to answer, but was hugged by Sui Qingliu. Sui Qingliu was afraid that his son would say something inappropriate again, so he hurriedly said with a smile, "It's very beautiful, and it can be used as a street lamp, it's really rare." ”

As they spoke, Wan Guohou walked from behind them. He whispered something in Yueshuluo's ear, and the latter immediately leaned and left. Wan Guohou looked at Sui Qingliu with a smile on his face, "Doctor Sui, what are you talking about?"

At the same time, Mrs. Sha and Nan Zeyu hurriedly walked to the edge of the flower gallery.

"You guys, it's still not reliable. As soon as she reached the veranda, Mrs. Sha immediately complained.

"What's wrong?"

"Some people talk about my son and the waitress who jumped off the building on the Internet, which is quite outrageous, and some people say that they want to break the news to the newspaper!" Mrs. Sha said dissatisfiedly, "My son didn't do anything, why is he being said to be like a criminal now?!"

Nan Zeyu felt a headache, "They are all chatting nonsense, and the specific facts of the case are absolutely confidential." ”

"Then I don't care. Mrs. Sha's eyes widened, "Lao Sha won't let me interfere, but I still have to say, it's really to blame you for not handling it well! Otherwise, how would anyone know that my son was on the scene?"

Nan Zeyu nodded again and again: "Yes, I will arrange someone to do it, please rest assured!"

At this moment, a cough came from behind Nan Zeyu.

The faces of the two of them changed suddenly, Nan Zeyu's heart went up and down, and he unconsciously clenched his fists, and when he turned his head, he found that it was the slim moon gargle.

Nan Zeyu was stunned for a second, "Chief Moon?"

Yue Shuluo smiled softly, "I finally found you, there is something that needs to trouble you." She nodded to Mrs. Sha, "Sorry to interrupt." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Sha folded her shawl and left reservedly. Yue Shu watched Mrs. Sha go away, and then said softly: "Please come with me, it's not me looking for you, it's Master Hou." ”

Nan Zeyu was very surprised, he wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing that Yue Shuluo looked unaware, he had to follow her to the terrace of the white building.

Nan Zeyu saw at a glance the stars holding the moon like the Marquis of Wanguo. To his surprise, Wan Guohou was surrounded not only by Yu Jingbo's family, Gao Jin's father and daughter, You Jinlan, but also his wife, daughter and father-in-law.

"Ah, husband!" Tao Baihe snuggled into Nan Zeyu's arms with a smile. Wan Guohou glanced at him, and for some reason, he felt that Wan Guohou's gaze seemed to have a deep meaning.

"As we just said, Xiao Xie not only helped us Jiaojiao, but also saved Mr. Gao's daughter. Tao Baihe took her husband's arm and faced Xie Madxin, but the words were said to Wan Guohou.

Xie Madxin owed the debt very politely, "Mrs. Nan has won the award, in fact, Mr. Gao's time is the credit of the domestic servant." As he spoke, he looked at K1 behind Wan Guohou. After he knelt down, he seemed to be less energetic, and he talked a lot less.

K1 smiled and didn't speak. He quietly set his eyes on Gao Xiangqi, who was wearing a pink gauze dress, who happened to be watching him as well. The two were relatively silent to each other, but there seemed to be a mysterious tacit understanding.

Gao Jin laughed and raised the wine glass in his hand, "Xiao Xie is not only brave, but also very modest, and the Hou Ye teaches well!" I don't know when he also learned from Tao Baihe and changed his title to "Xiao Xie". This sounded very affectionate, and even the gaze he looked at Xie Crazy became very appreciative, as if he was looking at his own child.

Wan Guohou took the cup from the servant's hand, he looked at the crowd gathered downstairs, and said calmly: "Tonight is the first time I have held a family banquet in the magic capital. By the way, I'm not sure if the Moon Governor has announced one thing......"

Yue Shuluo looked at him nervously, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"Everyone, please have a drink, we have a substitute driver, and if you don't like it, you can stay. In the exclamation of everyone, Wan Guohou raised his glass, "My banquet has no end!"

The guests cheered loudly, and no one thought that they would have the opportunity to stay overnight at the banquet of the Marquis of Wan Guo for the first time. "So, I'm going to miss the company a little bit, and as compensation, I'll let Crazy Heart lead you on a tour, okay?" Amid the cheers of the guests again, Wan Guohou handed the wine glass to the servant, "Mr. Gao, please please stay with your friends first." With that, he smiled and watched most of the guests leave.

What everyone didn't notice was that the wine glass that Wan Guohou was holding just now had been cleverly embedded with a miniature microphone. There were some hidden speakers distributed in the courtyard at equal distances, and although the courtyard was large and there were many people, all the people heard the words of Wan Guohou, as if Wan Guohou was beside them.

After the crowd dispersed and walked away, Wan Guohou said to the people who remained: "Actually, I have a collection, and I would like to invite a few people to appreciate it." If it's convenient, come with me. There was still that faint look on his face, "In addition, I implore a few daughters and young masters to stay here." As he spoke, he nodded at K1, "K1 is the person I trust the most, don't worry." ”

Wan Guohou's words were extremely modest, but there was an undeniable power in his words.

Several people glanced at each other, and Nan Zeyu was the first to laugh, "Master Hou is too polite." As soon as Sui Qingliu wanted to say something, he was stopped by Yu Jingbo, "Then it's up to Master Lao to bother!"

Although Tao couldn't have good eyesight, he didn't miss a little movement of Wan Guohou. When he heard that the Marquis of Wan Guo did not mention himself, he said extremely eagerly: "I wonder if I can take a look at the Hou Ye's collection?"

Wan Guohou's eyes flashed with a wonderful brilliance: "Of course, you are especially welcome. Without looking back, he said, "Mr. Moon, go to the cellar and get some bottles of Chateau-d'Yquem." ”

The latter was slightly stunned: "1811's?"

Wan Guohou nodded. Yue Shuluo was just about to turn around, but was stopped again: "Wait a minute." Yue Shu watched inexplicably, and Wan Guohou gently plucked a petal from her hair that had fallen at some point. His face was so close that his lips almost kissed Tsuki's forehead. Yue Shuluo's face was flushed, she didn't dare to look at the ambiguous smiles and knowing expressions of those guests, so she had to lower her head and leave in a hurry.
