Chapter 60: The Banquet in the Prison House
Chapter 60: The Banquet in the Prison House
The next day, early in the morning.
Lu Feng and Jiang Ruoyun continued to practice in the morning, one cultivating the whip method and the other cultivating the body formation method.
Xiao Rou also got up early today to prepare breakfast.
"Huh, how did you make so many delicious things today?" Jiang Ruoyun came back from cultivation and found that Xiao Rou had made a table of breakfast, each of which looked very delicious.
Xiao Rou looked a little flustered, and explained: "Today is the day when the young lady goes to the prison to attend her birthday, and she will be in good spirits when she has eaten a little. ”
Lu Feng walked over after washing, looked at the table of delicacies and also had a lot of appetite, and reached out to take a delicate snack.
"No, this is for Miss, it's Miss's favorite purple potato dumplings," Xiao Rou nervously stopped Lu Feng.
"It's okay, Lu Feng will give him food if he likes it," Jiang Ruoyun smiled.
"No, I made it for Miss. Xiao Rou's attitude was unusually resolute, her eyes flickered, and there was a faint hint of fear.
At this time, Lu Feng had already eaten other snacks, and when he looked at Xiao Rou like this, he thought it was her hard work, so he didn't think much about it, and said vaguely with half a piece of pastry in his mouth: "It's okay, I eat the same thing." ”
It wasn't until Jiang Ruoyun finally picked up the dumplings and ate them that Xiao Rou's expression relaxed a lot, and her nervousness turned into worry.
Before leaving, Xiao Rou pulled a handful of Lu Feng and whispered, "Protect Miss." ”
At the end, looking at the figures of Lu Feng and Jiang Ruoyun walking away, Xiao Rou burst into tears, and tears fell unconsciously.
According to Jiang Caiyun's instructions, she polished the pill into powder and mixed it into the ball, she was ready to leave, and she was no longer in the water bamboo pavilion.
After cleaning up inside and out, Xiaorou left with a reluctant face, and found a quiet place to wait for the reunion of father and daughter after the birthday banquet.
Jiang Ruoyun hadn't been to the prison mansion's birthday banquet for many years, and the last time she went was when she was twelve years old, and it was at the banquet that year that she spread to every corner of Qinglong Town in the name of genius.
Now that she is in the stage of recovering her strength, she is naturally not qualified to compete for the limelight of fame.
Cheng Zhishu, Ma Qiufeng and others, who were left behind by her at the beginning, have now reached the Gathering Spirit Realm, and even Yan Jingjing, who doesn't know how to cultivate, has also reached this realm.
At this banquet, there are too many people who can be in the limelight.
Lu Feng and Jiang Ruoyun were not the first to rush to the prison mansion, they already had a lot of guests by then.
There are dozens of stone tables in the living room, each with a name written on it, and you can sit in the right number.
"It's okay," Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and saw at a glance that the seats between him and Jiang Ruoyun were arranged at the end, not too far forward, and when he came again, Lu Feng was still a little worried about how to explain if the prison officer arranged him in a dazzling position.
There was a bench behind the stone table, Lu Feng and Jiang Ruoyun sat just right, and as soon as the two of them sat down, a maid put a few pots of fruit and plums on the table, and made a pot of fragrant tea.
"It will only start when we wait for Qi Qi," Jiang Ruoyun explained, it was also like this at the beginning, but although she was outstanding at that time, she had no place.
Unlike today's self-standing portal, in the name of Shuizhuxuan, it has a location.
This also made Jiang Ruoyun feel a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that Shui Zhuxuan is not famous in Qinglong Town, and he is not qualified to be invited to participate.
Jiang Ruoyun glanced at Lu Feng suspiciously, and faintly felt that it was because of him.
After coming back to his senses, he looked out the door, and saw that the people who came one after another were carrying a gift box in their hands, Jiang Ruoyun suddenly exclaimed: "It's over, we didn't prepare a birthday gift when we came to the birthday banquet." ”
Looking at Jiang Ruoyun's anxious face, Lu Feng smiled and said, "Just take the mountain fruit brew we poured last time, you can't buy such a spiritual brew on the market." ”
"Wouldn't it be too cold?" Jiang Ruoyun said stupidly.
"If it's precious, I'm afraid the prison officer won't dare to accept it," Lu Feng muttered.
Jiang Ruoyun didn't hear what Lu Feng said clearly, her attention at the moment was completely on the person coming at the door.
"Grandpa," Jiang Ruoyun muttered softly.
Lu Fengshun looked over and saw that Jiang Batian's face looked a little haggard, and his body had lost a lot of weight, it seemed that Jiang Ruoyun's departure still had a great impact on him.
As one of the largest households in Qinglong Town, Jiang Mansion will naturally not be absent on the birthday of the prison officer, and the two mansion masters Jiang Batian and Jiang Aotian obviously came forward in person to give the prison government full face, followed by Jiang Feng and Jiang Caiyun.
The two mansion masters naturally arranged their seats, and although Jiang Feng and the others were both direct disciples, they had no place to stand, so they could only stand on both sides of the stone case.
The moment Jiang Caiyun entered the door, his eyes stayed on Lu Feng, and he was extremely surprised!
"How did he end up here?"
"Seems to be safe?"
Jiang Caiyun had a bad premonition in his heart, Jiang Ren has not returned yet, and if he thinks about it at this moment, he is afraid that it will be more than lucky.
"Even slaves have a place, so why should we stand. Jiang Caiyun muttered dissatisfiedly, although his voice was small, the people beside him could hear it clearly.
Jiang Feng frowned when he heard this, and when he saw Lu Feng sitting upright, he couldn't help but be extremely angry in his heart.
"Did you say Jiang Ruoyun took that pill?" Jiang Caiyun whispered in Jiang Feng's ear.
"Her father is still tied up in an abandoned warehouse by us, does she dare to be disobedient?" Jiang Feng smiled evilly, and it seemed that Jiang Ruoyun had already appeared to be beaten down in public.
......
The position of the Jiang Mansion and his party is much higher, and there is a lot of distance from Lu Feng and the others.
Therefore, Lu Feng and the others did not hear the conversation between Jiang Feng and Jiang Caiyun.
Jiang Ruoyun's eyes converged to the door again, watching the people coming one after another.
"Sister Qiao~" Jiang Ruoyun stood up and greeted Qiao Xue'er who walked towards the door.
Qiao Xue'er paused, stretched out her hand in response, smiled gently, and then followed the elders to the front.
"Alas, Sister Qiao's family is really strict, she is not allowed to be close to Brother Tang Yuan, and I don't know if Brother Tang Yuan will attend today. Jiang Ruoyun said helplessly.
It didn't take long for Old Man Yan to come with Yan Mingchi and Yan Jingjing, and the living room gradually became lively.
Yan Jingjing is dressed in men's clothes today, and her short and sharp hairstyle makes her look a little heroic, but what has not changed is her bright and round eyes.
Lu Feng couldn't help but think of her words in front of Yan He's tomb, and it seemed that she was really planning to resist the heavy responsibility of Yan Mansion in the name of Yan Qing.
The moment she entered the door, Yan Jingjing noticed where Lu Feng was, and waved her pink fist as if she was going to beat someone.
Now that she has the strength of the Gathering Spirit Realm, she is confident enough to fight Lu Feng knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, in order to show the lightness of the day.
Lu Feng smiled helplessly and pretended not to see it.
After almost the people came, the prison officer walked out of the inner hall and presided over the overall situation, so naturally he was inevitably polite at first.
"Thank you for coming ...... today," the warden said at length.
Lu Feng listened a little tired, and complained: "When is he going to talk about it?"
"Let's talk about it until the luncheon, and then the prison officer will summarize the big and small things in Qinglong Town in the past year, summarize the past, plan for the future, and finally give gifts to everyone. Jiang Ruoyun was also a little helpless.
Only then did Lu Feng see what it meant to talk to himself, and what it meant for a person to be able to talk all day.
The melons and fruits on the stone case were almost eaten, the tea was added a few times, and the prison officer was still talking.
It was close to luncheon when the prison officer stopped talking and sat down to take a sip of water.
Cheng Mansion is the largest household in Qinglong Town, under the signal of the head of the family, Cheng Zhishu stood up, holding a plant in both hands, and said: "Lanzhi cypress tari, has an excellent effect of nourishing the soul and moisturizing the meridians, Cheng Mansion congratulates on this, and wishes the prison officer to be energetic and prosperous every year." ”
"The virtuous nephew has a heart. The prison officer smiled kindly and ordered it to be put away.
Mafu presented: "Khan Lingbao Jade a ......"
Qiaofu presented: "A ...... of Purple Tears of the Stars and Moon"
Juxiangyuan presents: "A piece of ...... of wishful ointment"
Looking at the gifts one after another, Lu Feng found that although their congratulatory gifts were strange, they were all high-quality, although they were not particularly valuable, but they were by no means marketable.
In the end, it was Lu Feng's turn to them, and after thinking about it, Lu Feng stood up, and it was only the two of them who came to Shui Zhuxuan, so naturally Lu Feng came forward, after all, Jiang Ruoyun was his deed owner in the eyes of those who cared.
The timing of Lu Feng's step forward was also a coincidence, just in time for the end of the previous family's gifts, and the prison officer's subordinates did not return after receiving the gifts.
Shuizhuxuan presents a jar of natural fruit brewing, which can nourish the aura and activate the meridians. ”
Lu Feng said lightly, raised his hand and took out an ordinary wine jar and handed it to the prison officer.
Some of the people present had already laughed, looking at Lu Feng's fledgling and unsophisticated stupidity.
"Is he really stupid or is his head soaked in water, and he actually handed the gift directly to the prison officer?"
"To use such an inferior wine jar to hold spiritual brew......"
Everyone had different feelings in their hearts, and their eyes were full of banter when they looked at Lu Feng, but Lu Feng didn't care at all, and continued to walk towards the prison officer with a smile.
"Hell... Lu..."The prison officer was a little flattered, but fortunately, Lu Feng stopped it with a look and handed the natural fruit brew to the prison officer's hand.
The prison officer was still a little panicked when he answered, which couldn't help but make Lu Feng cry and laugh a little, thinking: "It's just a broken token, as for being nervous like this?"
"Go and investigate the identity of that young man......" the head of the Ma Mansion family commanded a young man beside him.
Those who were not familiar with Lu Feng also began to guess his identity, and although the prison officer's panic was only for a moment, the careful people still noticed.
Those who had laughed at Lu Feng in their hearts before had a feeling of being closed, not only did they not see Lu Feng's ugly scene, but they saw the prison officer 'respectfully' accept the congratulatory gift.
Ordinary people only regard the etiquette of prison officials as good people, and they don't take it to heart after being surprised.
