Chapter Seventy-Seven: Destiny: Red Line
When night falls, the huge Nangong villa is brightly lit at the moment, not to mention those high-end cars that stop, just the rich children who came to the banquet are enough to make people marvel.
"Brother Nangong, don't come unharmed, we haven't seen each other for a while, right?" Dongfang Bo said with a smile to Nangong Hao, who was greeting the guests.
"It's Brother Dongfang, I'm glad you can come over! I also brought the little girl, Dongfang's niece is here to find Wan'er this time!" Nangong Hao said with a smile.
Dongfang Ning Die smiled slightly, and said slightly respectfully: "Yes, Uncle Nangong, I've been busy lately, and I haven't seen her for a long time." ”
"Then please come in quickly!" At Nangong Hao's urging, Dongfang's father and daughter were led into the living room by the servants.
"Uncle Nangong!"
Situ Langjun came to Nangong Hao under the leadership of Fu Bo and greeted him cordially.
Nangong Hao glanced at him, and then said in a flat tone: "It's the grandson of Old Man Situ, what about your father, why didn't he come?"
"Father, he is in a hurry and can't come, so the boy took him to apologize to you. Situ Langjun said ashamedly.
Nangong Hao frowned, and then said, "Okay, you can go in first, and I'll talk to you after I finish entertaining the guests." ”
Situ Langjun was stunned for a moment, then answered, and entered the house with Fu Bo. Situ Langjun was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and muttered to himself: "Sure enough, what I said to my father is right, this Nangong family is indeed on the side of the Dongfang family, and there is no so-called 'enthusiasm' for Young Master Ben!" Hmph, although you are the head of the family, but this superficial kung fu is not very good!"
The eight major families are all holding each other back, especially these families in the capital, which are even more competitive. For example, the Situ family and the Dongfang family, the Murong family and the Nangong family, etc., are all the same.
Now all the celebrities from the upper class are gathered here, for Chen Yufeng, who is secretly observing, even if it is a dinner party like this, it can't get rid of the cliché, at most it is a little more aristocratic than those ordinary banquets!
"Oh, isn't this the grandson of Old Man Situ? Why, why are you the only one who came here this time? Your father is at least going to come, right? Isn't this not to give face to the Nangong family!" It was Dongfang Bo who spoke, because the relationship with the Situ family was not friendly, so he would not let go of any loopholes of the other party, even if it was a junior.
"Uncle Dongfang is serious, grandpa and father are entangled in important matters, so they can't come over, and the kid has already apologized to Uncle Nangong. Situ Langjun hurriedly said, when it comes to seniority, he doesn't dare to disrespect Dongfang Bo.
"Humph!"
Dongfang Bo didn't say anything more, and he would ruin his reputation if he kept targeting juniors. Situ Langjun's face was a little ugly, but he still suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked strangely: "Uncle Dongfang, I don't know where Ning Die went? I didn't seem to see her just now." ”
Dongfang Bo glanced at Situ Langjun and said lightly: "She went to play, what's the matter?"
Dongfang Bo knew that Situ Langjun meant something to his daughter, but the families of the two sides were incompatible, and Situ Langjun already had a fiancée like Cui Siya, so Situ Langjun was destined to be a bamboo basket.
"Oh, nothing, kid just asking. Dongfang Bo's cold attitude made Situ Langjun's situation a little embarrassing, so he didn't ask more, so as not to trouble himself.
From this point of view, in the face of these elders, even those gentlemen have to put away their pride, and they cannot be compared with them in terms of seniority or qualifications.
At this time, Nangong Hao, who was dealing with others, finally took the time to come to Dongfang Bo's side, and said with a hearty smile: "I said Lao Bo, you also love to be like a junior, don't you see that I didn't say anything?"
Dongfang Bo glanced at him and said, "I said Lao Hao, don't be too indifferent to everything, be careful and suffer in the future!"
"Haha! Don't talk about this, come, I'll toast you!"
Nangong Hao laughed, handed Dongfang Bo a glass of red wine, and drank it with him. This made Situ Langjun, who was standing aside, embarrassed, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction.
At this moment, a middle-aged man and a very beautiful woman walked over. Although the middle-aged man looks like he is forty or fifty years old, his face does not have the wind and frost of time, and his skin is no different from that of a young man.
"Yo, I didn't expect the Eight Great Families to get together four at this moment, this is a thing worth celebrating!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"It's Murong Qiuming!" Some of the people present recognized the middle-aged man and couldn't help but exclaim.
Murong Qiuming, the contemporary head of the Murong family, except for the old man Murong, he is the most powerful in the Nangong family. As for the beautiful girl beside him, it was naturally his daughter Murong Shiyun!
Nangong Hao has always been on the wrong path with Murong Qiuming, so when he saw Murong Qiuming coming forward, he didn't give him a good look, and said lightly: "It turned out to be you, you are not busy on weekdays, but today you are free to come to our banquet, I thought that invitation was thrown into the trash by you!"
"Haha, it's only been a long time since I've seen you, Brother Nangong, you've become much more humorous than before!" Murong Qiu laughed.
Nangong Hao didn't continue, this straightforward personality is very similar to Dongfang Bo, although the family has to do enough superficial work when they meet, but Nangong Hao does not show this.
Seeing Murong Shiyun standing quietly beside Murong Qiuming, Situ Langjun couldn't help but lean forward and whispered, "Shiyun, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I really miss you." ”
Murong Shiyun glanced at Situ Langjun lightly, and then responded: "It turned out to be Young Master Situ, I haven't seen you for so long and you're still the same, you must know that you already have such a beautiful woman as the daughter of the Cui family, and we are ordinary friends, right?"
was knocked on the baton, Situ Langjun had nothing to say all of a sudden, tonight can be said to be his most unhappy night!
......
At the moment, in a room, Nangong Wan was chatting with Dongfang Ning Die. Nangong Wan has never liked that kind of lively occasion, even if it is this dinner, Nangong Wan has little interest in participating.
"Sister Nangong, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you have become much more haggard than before, are you still worried about that matter?" Dongfang Ning Die said with some distress.
Nangong Wan barely squeezed out a smile and replied, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”
Nangong Wan's reaction made Dongfang Ning Die sigh in her heart, and she couldn't help but comfort: "Okay, be happy! You must know that in the capital, he is basically an existence calling for wind and rain." I've seen him, and he has a good character, not to mention his temperament, which is one in a million! I think he's a good fit for you!"
Nangong Wan shook her head lightly and said in a low voice: "I know in my heart what kind of person he is, but for me, I hope that my future spouse is the kind of person who can make me dedicate myself wholeheartedly, not this kind of victim based on the interests of the family." ”
"Alas!"
Dongfang Ning Die sighed lightly and said, "You are so stupid! Are you still struggling with that strange prophecy? You must know who else in the whole of Huaxia has the ability to do it except those old monsters? Could it be that you already have the right person in your heart?"
Looking at Dongfang Ningdie's interrogation-like expression, Nangong Wan suddenly felt a little empty-hearted, and after a long time, she couldn't help but say faintly: "I don't know, I don't know what that feeling is, it's obviously wrong, but I still vaguely feel that fate has involved me and him, and it has nothing to do with that prophecy." ”
Nangong Hao's words made Dongfang Ning Die startled, could it be that Nangong Wan really has a sweetheart? This is impossible, I have never heard of Nangong Wan in contact with any man, and the only long-distance outing was when I went to Shanghai a year ago......
"Wait!
Dongfang Ning Die's delicate body was shocked, she remembered that Nangong Wan had gone to Shanghai alone before, and almost turned the Nangong family upside down, isn't it......
"What's wrong?, are you not feeling well?" Nangong Wan couldn't help but ask when she saw Dongfang Ning Die falling into a stupor.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Dongfang Ning Die came back to her senses and hurriedly said.
"No, it's not that coincidental, maybe it's just my thoughts. Dongfang Ning Die pressed her terrible thoughts in her heart, if it was really as she expected, then the future of the capital would be bloody!
Nangong Wan naturally took Dongfang Ning Die's performance to heart, and she couldn't help but think of what a mysterious old Taoist priest she met in high school said to her.
"After the birth of the emperor, little doll, do you believe in fate?" asked the old Taoist priest.
Nangong Wan has had a strong interest in the principles of these numbers since she was a child, so she replied without thinking, "I believe, old man, can you see my numbers?"
The old Taoist priest stroked his white beard and smiled: "Of course, you are destined to serve by the side of Emperor Star in the future, and this is fate. It's just that the number of days will change as something happens, and you will need to make your own choices in the future. ”
"Emperor, is my future with this Emperor, if I don't want to, then what should I do?" Nangong Wan asked a little confused.
The old Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "Even if it is the Mandate of Heaven, there will be a glimmer of life, and this imperial qi is not just concentrated on one person. Don't worry, the red thread of cause and effect has unconsciously pulled you off the track of fate, even the old Taoist is very curious about the future development!
"Wait, old man, are you saying that even if my fate is doomed, there will be the person who will change my fate, right?" Nangong Wan hurriedly asked.
"Don't say it, don't say it! The emperor's order can't be figured out by the old Tao! This red line of cause and effect is in your hands, and make a choice together with another red line of cause and effect, this is what you need to do! Let's see you later!" After speaking, the old Taoist priest disappeared from Nangong Wan's eyes.
Nangong Wan has never told anyone about this matter except for her good friend Dongfang Ningdie, and it has become a secret between her and Dongfang Ningdie.
Will there be such a person against the emperor?
ps: It's been a long time, sorry!
