Chapter 34: The Feast of Miaofu
......
Half a day later, it was getting dark.
Cloud City, a mansion, in a dark room.
In the dark room, it was dim.
"How's it going?" a middle-aged man's voice rang out.
"Master, Nighthawk has written that the mission has failed.... Failed"
A Shadow Slayer knelt on the ground and bowed his head, saying "Two more lost"
After speaking, there was a sudden silence in the dark room.
The middle-aged man's voice was silent for a moment, and then said, "Hmm." I see, tell Nighthawk to come back. I have other things for him to do. ”
"Yes. ”
"Step aside"
"The subordinates retired. ”
Three days later, night.
There is still one day before Xian'er's birthday banquet.
Jun Sai lay on the bed, looking through the invitation sent by Miaofu today. On the invitation, the word "wonderful" is elegantly and lightly drawn, and gold dust is scattered.
Miao Xian'er's birthday banquet starts in the afternoon, and the morning is to welcome the guests.
Jun Sai remembered the words he heard during the dinner at dusk, "Alas, do you know? I heard this time that the birthday banquet of the second lady of the Miao family was very lively. ”
"It's not the latest news. I have the latest news"
"Speak up and let us know. ”
"I heard that this time the Miao family not only feasted the Nangong family and the city lord's mansion, which had a good relationship, but also the Cao family. ”
"Cao family! Is the relationship between the Cao family and the Miao family so good?
"I don't know about this, but I've heard that Cao Zhen will also go. ”
"What! Cao Zhen is also going! Didn't he go to the Imperial Palace to learn art? How could he come back?"
"It seems that I came back for the second miss of the Miao family. ”......
"Xian'er, you and I will be able to meet tomorrow. I don't know what it will be like for you and me to meet. Jun Sai looked at the invitation card in his hand and said, "It's been ten years, and I have some expectations." ”
After a night of silence, Jun Sai began to sit cross-legged, cultivated, and gradually entered the state towards the third level of cultivation of the Mixed Yuan Wuji Gong.
Following.
The Miao family is very lively today, and there are more than a dozen families affiliated to the Miao family, the Li family in the north of the city, and the Zhao family in the west of the city...... There is also the Xiao family in the east of the city.
For a family in the main city of Yunzhou, the coming-of-age ceremony of the children of such a big family is bound to be grand, which can not only show financial resources, connections, but also show the status of the family.
And Miao Xian'er's coming-of-age banquet is a manifestation of the Miao family's power.
At this time, the door in front of the Miao family has changed from the door of the past to become extremely lively.
"The Li family in the north of the city, send a pair of jade Ruyi!"
"The Zhao family in the west of the city, send a white jade fat Buddha!"
......
Subsequently, the little maid outside the door shouted: "The Xiao family in the east of the city, a bloodstone inkstone"
The entourage beside the head of the Li family heard that the Xiao family's gift was an inkstone inkstone, and said disdainfully: "It's just an inkstone inkstone, and I'm embarrassed to take it out." There are several of them. ”
At this time, Xiao Qishan and his father Xiao Lide came over and also heard the disdain of the entourage of the head of the Li family.
Xiao Lide said: "Brother Li, the servants of your family will all speak before the master, I don't know how Master Li disciplined him, if he let the master of the Miao family see such an unruly rule, what will he think." ”
Li Tong, the head of the Li family, felt embarrassed by Xiao Lide's words, turned his head to look at the servant who was talking nonsense, and said, "A few of you will pull this nonsense talking person down for me and discipline him well." ”
A few servants behind Li Tong pulled the little guy down, looked at Xiao Lide and said: "I didn't expect that I, Li, made Brother Xiao bother, but Li's family affairs Brother Xiao will bother less in the future."
After speaking, Li Tong entered the Miao Mansion with his servants.
Xiao Qishan looked at Li Tong's words, and couldn't help but say: "Dad, look at him like that, sooner or later, my Xiao family will surpass the Li family and become the Miao family Keqing family, and when the time comes, it will be up to him to see if he dares to scream." ”
"Alright, mountain. Wait a minute, don't talk nonsense, everything depends on me. Listen more, talk less. Although my Xiao family has paid tribute to the Miao family a lot of good things this year, and his status has grown a lot, but his Li family is still above us, and the position of the Keqing family this year is still vacant, so ......"
Xiao Qishan said: "Dad, you don't need to say it, I can understand." As long as I become a guest family, then my Xiao family is really at ease. I'm not going to discredit my family at this time. ”
Xiao Lide was very relieved and said, "There is progress! We should go in." ”
Which small family becomes the guest family of the three major families, then it is one with the family, if the small family is in trouble, the main family will definitely do its best to help.
The little guy in front of the Miao family was very discerning, and when he saw that it was the father and son of the Xiao family, he bowed his head and said respectfully: "Please come in, take a seat inside." ”
The Xiao father and son nodded.
Three poles on the sun.
Gradually, the gifts sent by more than a dozen affiliated families were all collected into the Miao family's treasury, and the people were almost there.
The Miao family invited the guests to a very spacious courtyard, which was enough to accommodate a hundred people.
A few well-known and weekday homeowners talked from time to time, waiting for more distinguished guests behind.
The Xiao family and his son found a back seat and talked about some topics with Qian Ling, the well-known head of the Qian family.
Miao home, inner courtyard, Miao Xian'er boudoir.
The fairies who came back yesterday, Yun Luo, and Shui Luo lived together, in one room.
Shui Luo was combing Xian'er's hair. With a touch of pink makeup, a light pink robe, waist-length hair like a waterfall cascading down to her waist, today's Miao Xian'er is as beautiful as a fairy.
Even Yun Luo on the side was amazed.
Yun Luo said: "Senior Sister Xian'er, you are so good-looking today. ”
Shui Luo patted his chest and boasted: "Then don't you see, who dressed Xian'er so beautifully." ”
Yun Luo twisted his head and said with a look of disgust: "Cut!"
"You," Shui Luo laughed at Yun Luo's movements.
"Hahaha," the three girls laughed.
After laughing, Shui Luo said: "The sister of Senior Sister Xian'er is a little similar to Xian'erpo, but a little more charming. ”
"Yes, if I were a man, maybe I would be a fan of Sister Mei'er," Yun Luo said.
Miao Xian'er was a little unhappy, when she saw her sister, she would always think of what happened ten years ago.
The yin master wanted to arrest his sister Mei'er, but he caught the wrong one and took Xian'er away. Just because, Mei'er's biological mother said a wrong word, Miao Zhentian was furious, and she injured Mei'er's mother, and finally died of serious injuries.
After Xian'er was rescued, as time passed, the two half-sisters grew up, their relationship became estranged, and now even their attitude towards speaking has become cold.
Miao Xian'er knew that they couldn't go back.
Miao Xian'er still remembers what her sister Miao Mei'er said to her when she came back yesterday.
"Xian'er, my father really loves you to prepare such a coming-of-age ceremony. Soon after, I also prepared a big gift for you. ”
The voice was cold, and after speaking, Miao Meier left.
Looking at Miao Xian'er in a daze, Yun Luo said, "Senior sister, are you thinking about your sweetheart again?"
Shui Luo said: "Do you need to talk about this?"
Miao Xian'er blushed and said, "How can I have it." Alright, the outside is almost ready, let's go. ”
Yun Luo grinned, knowing that Senior Sister Xian'er deliberately changed the topic, and said, "Then I won't talk about it, I'm so hungry, let's go eat."
Shui Luo nodded Yun Luo's head and said with a smile: "You, you know how to eat." You are not afraid that you will not be able to marry in the future. ”
Yun Luo's head tilted, and he snorted: "I'm so beautiful, are you still worried about getting married?" Senior Sister Shuiluo, you're twenty years old. I'm still worried about you, you're old" stuck out his tongue again and ran out.
"Stop me, little girl. Don't let me catch you" Shui Luo chased after him and said, "Dare to say that I am old, I will teach you a lesson if I catch you." ”
Miao Xian'er smiled bitterly and shook her head, accustomed to the frolicking of Senior Sister Shui Luo and Yun Luo, and followed them out of the house.
Fortune Inn, upstairs.
Jun Xi, who had been cultivating all night, opened his eyes at this moment, his eyes were clear and his expression was radiant, and he got out of bed and stretched his waist and back.
Looking at the sunlight outside the window, Jun Sai felt that the time was almost up, and said, "It's time to leave." ”
Yesterday, Jun Sai instructed Xiao Er not to have any service today, and there was no need to prepare meals.
So there was no knock at the door today.
After just drinking a cup of tea, Jun Sai walked out of the inn and walked in the direction of Miaojia.
Along the street, I saw a lot of gorgeous horse-drawn motorloads passing through the road, and the pedestrians on the side of the road were also talking.
"Did you just see it?"
"See what?"
"The team just now is the team of the Nangong family. It is said that Nangong Su, the head of the Nangong family, and Nangong Pu, the second son, went to the banquet of the Miao family together. ”
"I've also heard that the current Miao family is almost concentrated in this cloud city. ”
Jun Sai passed by, but listened carefully.
At this time, a convoy passed by.
The golden chariot, even the wheels of the carriage were inlaid with thin gold sheets.
"Get out of the way if you don't want to die!" shouted the guard on horseback. The guard's clothes were printed with the word "Cao" sewn in red and black, and there was a gold dust wrap around the word, which was very dazzling at first glance.
"It's the Cao family!" exclaimed passers-by.
Jun Sai has only heard that the Cao family is extraordinary, but when he sees it today, he gives the impression that it is a bit domineering.
"This Cao family is really domineering" Jun Sai said, although the voice was not loud, but the people on the side of the road could hear it.
Passers-by watched the convoy gradually leave, and admonished: "This son, you should be careful when you speak in the future, this Cao family has a huge power in Yunzhou, and even the city lord's mansion has to give three points of thin noodles." ”
"Could it be because the strength of the Cao family ancestor is so high, no one can beat it?" Jun Sai said.
Passers-by looked around and whispered, "That's just one aspect. ”
"Could there be any other reason?"
"Childe, I don't know. Since Cao Zhen worshiped under the gate of the Imperial Palace two years ago, the Cao family has been linked to the imperial court. You said that no one in Yunzhou would dare to give face to the Cao family. Even the Miao family also entertained the Cao family this time. The convoy you saw should be the people sent by the Cao family this time. ”
Jun Sai was shocked, but he didn't expect the Cao family to have something to do with the imperial court. I really didn't know about this relationship before the Jun Festival.
For the Cao family, Jun Sacrifice has a new understanding.
The corners of his mouth curled, Jun Sai smiled, and said, "It seems that this banquet is lively." ”
Jun Sai bowed his hand and thanked: "Thank you! ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”
Jun Sai talked a few words with this passer-by, and after saying goodbye, he didn't stop and went straight to Miaofu.
