Chapter 24: Birthday Ceremony
He was silent for a long time, and touched the small hair bag on the top of the girl's head.
"Then you have to remember not to tell anyone but me. ”
The girl nodded, "That's natural, I'm sure I won't tell anyone, I'm not stupid." ”
The boy smiled softly.
Chu Xiaoyue drank a cup of tea, knowing that he had been bored in the house, and told him some interesting things in the market, suddenly remembered something, and said, "There is a person named Xiao Jinqing in your family, do you know him?"
Xiao Jinqing is the only son of Zhao Pinsheng, more than 300 years old this year, and is a monk in the early days of foundation building.
"He is my aunt's son, and now he is nominally the head of the Xiao family, but I have never seen him. Thinking of those things at home, his expression was gloomy, "When my aunt died, he was only eleven or twelve years old, and in the years since, the Xiao family has been controlled by Zhao Pinsheng, and it is said that he has been concentrating on cultivation, and I haven't heard anything about him." ”
"I see. Chu Xiaoyue's eyes narrowed, "Since he is Zhao Pinsheng's son, I naturally want to entertain him well." ”
Xiao Shiyu heard the meaning of her words, and his heart moved slightly.
She was trying to get angry for him.
"You still don't act rashly, after all, he is a foundation building monk, his cultivation is profound, and he is protected by Zhao Pinsheng, Zhao Pinsheng has been calling for wind and rain all these years, all in the name of his son, so he can barely be regarded as justifiable, and he will definitely not watch him suffer. ”
"Don't worry, so many people are staring, I can still ask for his life in the Chu family. She blinked, "Are you worried about me?"
The young man looked at her delicate and cute expression, his eyes were soft, "You foolish nature, can I not worry?"
dared to run away from home for 8,000 miles at a young age, who is as bold as her?
Chu Xiaoyue smiled, "It's okay, I can still be afraid of him on my territory?" Besides, Zhao Pinsheng and the elders of the Xiao family didn't come, and Xiao Jinqing didn't let me rub it round. ”
Xiao Shiyu knew that she must have thought of some bad idea, but she still shook her head, "I know you can't be angry for me, but it's really unnecessary, you just humiliate him to the end, and for me, it's not as happy as my own hatred." ”
He paused, and then said, "Your birthday banquet is a good day for you, you should live happily, don't worry about them." ”
Originally, Chu Xiaoyue had figured out how to toss and toss that Xiao Jinqing, but now when she heard Xiao Shiyu say this, she was a little stunned.
The boy's voice was a little hoarse in the changing period, but it passed through her eardrums and flowed into her mind, burning her face hot.
The ruthless and murderous and tyrannical Xiao Shiyu in the original text was originally such a gentle teenager......
Chu Xiaoyue cleared her throat and stood up, "Okay, then listen to you." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, "I've been out for a long time, I'm going back, you cultivate hard, if you lack anything, let them tell me." ”
Xiao Shiyu also stood up, nodded, took out a small box from the storage bag, handed it to her, and said, "Tomorrow is your birthday, I won't go, I wish you a good birthday first." ”
Her birthday gift must be watched by thousands of people and wonderful, but it's a pity that his identity is embarrassing and he can't see it with his own eyes.
Chu Xiaoyue took it with a look of surprise on her face, and when she opened it, it was a small lightning jade pendant.
The entire jade pendant was no bigger than her thumb, but the surface was dark purple, with a faint silver light flowing.
The lightning-like shape bends a bend, but the corners are rounded, like a soft ripple.
"Wow, it's so pretty, did you prepare it on purpose?"
Chu Xiaoyue looked at the jade pendant with a pair of eyes and couldn't pull it out, obviously very fond of it.
This was not specially prepared by Xiao Shiyu, he didn't have time to go out to choose, and he didn't have many spirit stones on his body.
"This is a gift from my father when I tested the spiritual root at the age of six, I have worn it for a while, if you dislike it......"
"How can you dislike it!" Chu Xiaoyue hurriedly interrupted him, held the jade pendant tightly in the palm of her hand, and turned slightly sideways, as if she was afraid that he would snatch it back.
To tell the truth, he has been wearing this thing around his neck since he was six years old, but fortunately, even if he encountered a desperate situation and was seriously injured, this jade pendant was not lost.
He didn't have anything to get his hands on now, so he took it off, removed the original string from it, and gave her the jade pendant.
"But it's something your father gave you, and it's too valuable. Chu Xiaoyue hesitated a little, "Why don't I give it back to you." ”
Xiao Shiyu shook his head, "Although my father gave it to me, I don't just regard it as a thought for the rest of my life, and my father gave me a lot of things, which are more precious than jade pendants." ”
He looked at the girl and said, "If you really like it, take it, don't think about it." ”
Seeing him say this, Chu Xiaoyue thanked him with a smile and happily accepted the jade pendant.
At the foot of Tongtian Peak, the Chu family's mansion was in the morning light, and it was lively and noisy.
Early in the morning, Chu Xiaoyue was called up by Lan Zhi, and after some grooming and dressing, the girl was dressed in a bright red dress, although she was petite and looked like a child, but it would not make people feel that the clothes were too gorgeous, but if you look closely, the solemn fire ayaluo, the complicated flame cloud pattern, and the gorgeous color crystal line, there is no place in this dress that is not gorgeous!
The center of her eyebrows is a little crescent, the girl's eyes are beautiful, there is no childishness on her face, she looks like she is still a child, but she doesn't dare to make people look down on her.
Ready, the girl stood up, took steady steps, and walked towards the main square in the center of the Chu family's mansion step by step.
On the main square of the main house, the old man Chu sat on the purple gold throne with a red face, and the eight elders behind him were lined up left and right, and the head of the Chu family, Chu Lin, was dressed in the Chinese clothes of the head of the family, standing beside the old man Chu, on the throne in front of him, there were no less than ten yuan babies sitting inside and out!
Further out, the huge square is divided into nearly 100 carved dragon seats, at this time including the guests of the Xianmen and the five great families have arrived, carefully look at it, most of these sitting are the great monks above the golden pill, either the representatives sent from the Xianmen, or the people with real power of the five major families, and then there are some people at the helm of the big families.
These big people who call for wind and rain on weekdays and can shake one side with their personal names alone are all gathered here!
There were quite a few young monks standing in the large seat, obviously the juniors who had come with the master to attend the feast.
The ceremony has not officially begun, most of the guests are talking and laughing with the people around them, and from time to time there are juniors who come up to greet the ceremony, the scene is warm and solemn, which will not make people feel overwhelmed by the big shots, and will not lose their solemnity and look casual.
In the middle of the square, a long blanket made of second-order velvet animal fur spreads out from the feet of the ancestor of the Chu family, and the other end leads straight to the gate of the Caizhen Courtyard, winding nearly eight hundred zhang, and the fiery red fur seems to be flickering with clusters of glow under the morning light, which is extremely gorgeous!
