A great start to the day.

Today's Ouyang City seems to be more lively, and every family goes out early to gather in one place.

Today is the birthday of the city lord of Ouyang City.

The red lanterns were hung high, and the word "longevity" was written on them, and the Ouyang Mansion looked so festive.

Early in the morning, there were a lot of carriages lined up in front of the gate of Ouyang Mansion one after another, and the characters and heroes from all walks of life in Ouyang City arrived one after another.

There are a lot of people watching outside the gate of Ouyang Mansion, this Ouyang Mansion has a big business, and the people in the city are not thin, so the people also come to collectively congratulate Ouyang Xi.

Ouyang Xi and his wife received the guests at the door, and the housekeeper also commanded his subordinates to lead the way for the guests entering the mansion behind them, and they were very busy.

It was busy for nearly four hours, and it was not until 10 a.m. that all the guests entered the house.

Mrs. Ouyang was sweating behind her back, she supported her waist with one hand and beat her shoulder with the other, with a helpless expression, "Master, when will we be able to live a free life." ”

Ouyang Xi looked at his wife and laughed, "Madame, are you tired of it?" Our Lingju Pavilion has been built, Madame can wait patiently for a while, we are not far from good days, haha." ”

"But look at him, how can we let go of our hearts. ”

"Madam, don't worry, although Tian'er is usually a little idle, but his essence as a husband can be seen clearly. Okay, we can't keep the guests waiting, let's go inside. ”

At this time, the huge Ouyang Mansion was already crowded with people, and there were crowds of people gathering in every corner.

On a flat field that can accommodate 1,000 people, tables and chairs are densely arranged, and visitors are honored according to the elders and young, and the older ones are all seated.

There was a huge screen in front of the venue, and Ouyang Xi and his wife sat on the main seat.

"Today's alliance leader's birthday is gratifying. Since the Lord has been sitting in the position of the leader of the alliance for more than 20 years, but he has never paid attention to pomp and circumstance, and has not been subject to other people's property, the character of the Lord of the Alliance has been admired by all of us, and the strength has also been affirmed by the heroes from all walks of life.

In the middle of the seat, an old man stood up and spoke.

"Yes, does City Lord Ouyang have something to announce to everyone. ”

A loud voice rang out, the crowd got out of the way, and a group of people walked in.

The leader is a rugged middle-aged man with a huge body and a beard and a beautiful woman with willow leaves and curved eyebrows, a pretty nose and a small mouth.

"Master Cheng is here, the old man is far away, forgive me. ”

When Ouyang Xi saw the visitor, he got up and greeted him with a smile.

"The city lord Ouyang is polite, the lower officials are late, and the city lord is not to blame. The middle-aged man replied.

"The little girl Cheng Yuan is polite, I wish the city lord's predecessors good luck like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity than the old pine of Nanshan. ”

The beautiful woman beside the middle-aged man bowed her head slightly, and her melodious voice like a nightingale made everyone look at her.

The young men in the crowd all craned their necks to look at Cheng Yuan, who was known as the number one beauty in Ouyang City.

"Yuan'er is really well-behaved, you don't have to be formal," Ouyang Xi praised the woman, and then said to the middle-aged man with a smile: "Ling Qianjin is really becoming more and more standard, no wonder all the sons in this city are in love with her, I heard that in the past two years, many people have come to your mansion to propose marriage." ”

"Let the city lord laugh, but it's a pity that my little girl refuses them one by one, it really makes me a father who has a lot of heart. The middle-aged man had something to say, and looked at Ouyang Xi with ulterior motives and replied.

That Cheng Yuan also lowered her head shyly.

In fact, it is well known that she admires Ouyang Mutian, but Ouyang Mutian ignores her, the first beauty supported by thousands of people, which really breaks her heart. However, she Cheng Yuan is not a person who gives up so easily in everything, she wants to chase Ouyang Mutian to the end, she doesn't believe that Ouyang Mutian's heart is iron, as long as she pays sincerely, he will accept her one day.

"Butler, quickly let someone bring two more chairs to Master Cheng and Ling Qianjin. Ouyang Xi turned his head and said to Steward Lin on the side of the screen.

"Yes. ”

"I'm sorry to trouble the city lord, the lower official brought the other half of the birthday gift to the lord, and please don't dislike it. ”

"Lord Cheng is polite, yesterday the old man was not in the house, and he neglected the distinguished guests who gave gifts to the adult's house, please don't blame the lord. ”

Cheng Yanzhi smiled heartily and beckoned the subordinates behind him to carry boxes of wooden boxes with red satin together.

He Cheng Eunzhi is the county official of Ouyang City, in charge of the major affairs of Ouyang City, although this Ouyang used to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, but he is also the city lord of Ouyang City who is personally written by the Holy Lord, and even Bishui City has been changed to the surname of his Ouyang family, which is above his Cheng Eun according to his rank. has been in the same city with Ouyang Xi for more than 20 years, Cheng Huanzhi has always wanted to tie up with Ouyang Xi, but this Ouyang Xi has a clean sleeve, and his own family has a big business, Cheng Huanzhi can't let Ouyang Xi suffer from him even if he wants to break his head. Now that Ouyang Xi took the initiative to invite him to come, of course he had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after receiving the invitation, he carefully prepared for a whole month, and took out almost half of the treasures he had accumulated over the years to congratulate Ouyang Xi on his birthday. If he can climb up to his in-laws with Ouyang Xi, with Ouyang Xi's status in the rivers and lakes and in the court, he Cheng Eunzhi is not afraid that there will be no way to be promoted and make a fortune in the future, so why worry about these things now.

Dozens of boxes were opened, and brocade clothes, jade segments, gold, silver, jewelry, and various rare treasures were presented in front of everyone.

"Master Cheng is really a big deal. ”

"yes, I'm ashamed of myself. ”

"yes, yes. ”

・・・・・・

Although everyone who came to congratulate each brought various treasures, they were far from Cheng Eun in terms of quantity.

"Lord Cheng broke the bank, how dare a contemptible person accept such a big gift. Adult, please do it quickly. Ouyang Xi was a little surprised when he saw these things, the number was less than yesterday, but then he heard that Mrs. said that yesterday's various objects were obviously not as precious as these, and this city eunuch really had ulterior motives.

Cheng Eunzhi and Cheng Yuan sat down.

"The city lord not only governs the rivers and lakes calmly, but also has a prosperous business, Ouyang Silk Village has spread all over the country, I heard that the city lord also wants to open branches in the East Night Country and Roy Country, and the strength of the Lord is admired. Moreover, your mansion's management of Ouyang City over the years has made it a lot easier for the lower officials, and it has also made the lives of the people of Ouyang City better and better. Cheng Eun's words were excited.

Cheng Eun made a generous statement, Ouyang Xi was not easy to refuse, if he refused in front of so many people in the rivers and lakes, he really wouldn't give him Cheng Eun's face, Ouyang Xi had to reluctantly accept it.

"Lord Alliance, you have something to say, do you have something to announce today. ”

The gifts were all received, and there were people in the crowd who couldn't bear their patience and curiosity.

Ouyang Xi took a deep breath and exhaled.

Turning his head to look at his wife, Ouyang Xi stood up again.

"Yes, today the contemptible people invited everyone to come but have something to tell. Since everyone has guessed one or two, the contemptible person will get straight to the point. Contemptible people have been the leader of the martial arts alliance and the city lord of Ouyang City for more than 20 years, and recently they have gradually felt that their body and mind are not as good as before, thinking about the past 20 years, they have never had a day to drink tea and chat with their wives, so they decided to end the position of the leader of the alliance in advance, abdicate and make way for Xian, and hold a martial arts conference in Ouyang City today next year, and all heroes can participate in order to run for the position of the leader of the alliance. ”

As soon as Ouyang Xi's words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Mrs. Ouyang also looked at Ouyang Xi in surprise, he had never mentioned this matter to him.

While she was surprised, she was happy.

Finally, they can live a quiet life.

"The alliance leader is in the prime of life, and his blood is strong, it is a pity to retire from the position of the alliance leader at such a young age, and I hope that the lord will think about it again. ”

"Yes, the alliance leader is a commander, and it is a pity for the rivers and lakes to abdicate at this time. ”

"The alliance lord is a martial arts person, and by chance he became the city lord of this Ouyang City, because of your relationship, the court has lived in harmony with the rivers and lakes over the years, and there are no longer constant disputes, if you step back from the position of the alliance leader, I am afraid that the rivers and lakes will no longer be peaceful in the future. ”

Another old man in the seat stood up, and his regretful tone resonated with everyone.

"You don't need to be persuaded, I have made up my mind, please forgive me. Ouyang Xi's tone was firm.

The crowd fell silent and pondered.

"Then what will the city lord do in the future?" Cheng Eunzhi asked after pondering.

"After the old man decides to step down as the leader of the alliance next year, he will hand over my business to my dog, and he will also be in charge of the affairs of the house, and the old man and his wife will no longer ask. In the future, I hope you will take more care of the dogs. Ouyang Xi said.

"Now that the alliance leader has made up his mind, we will no longer force it. But today you are still the leader of the alliance, and today the leader of the alliance is on his birthday, so let's still be lively, don't disturb everyone's interest for this matter. One of the crowd shouted.

In fact, Ouyang Xi said that he would step back as the leader of the alliance, and many people were secretly happy. Ouyang Xi sat on the position of the leader of the alliance by his own skills, Ouyang Xi, a young hero who was only in his twenties more than 20 years ago, defeated the masters of all walks of life in the rivers and lakes and became the leader of the alliance, no one in the martial arts conference of every world in the future could beat him, and Ouyang Xi has always been the leader of the alliance. It has been more than 20 years, and many people in the rivers and lakes have a strong martial arts, but they can't show their talents. Now that Ouyang Xi has taken the initiative to give way, they have a glimmer of light in their hearts, and the time has come for them to become famous.

"Yes, it is an honor and a contemptible honor for you to come here today. It's almost noon, and I've prepared a meal for you, and I ask you not to dislike it. ”

Ouyang Xi nodded to Steward Lin on the side, and the butler had to order him to turn around and leave.

Cheng Eunzhi under the seat stopped talking and sat alone, thoughtful.
