Chapter 70: The City Lord's Great Birthday

The next day, Wu Wang and Yun Xin went straight to the front of the city lord's mansion, only to see that most of them came to celebrate their birthdays, including high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as famous children, all of whom walked into the gate with heavy gifts and smiles on their faces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The high walls on the left and right sides of the info gate and in front of them are hung with red colors, and there is a dragon dance in the courtyard, and the sound of firecrackers is heard from time to time, which is full of joy.

Wu Wang and Yun Xin carried a small brocade box in their hands and entered the house with everyone. Standing in front of the door to greet the guests was the city lord's brother-in-law Yang Chengyun, about thirty-five years old, with two black beards on his upper lip, and he smiled amiably, but when he was not smiling, his eyebrows were slanted, and he had a frightening and vicious appearance. When he saw Wu Wu and Yun Xin, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, as if he was trying to remember who the two were, but he couldn't think about it, because it was the first time he had seen the two. However, since he was here to celebrate his birthday, he was a guest of the City Lord's Mansion, he also hugged his fists and said a few kind words, inviting the two of them in.

Wu Forget never dreamed that it was two miles from the front of the door to the hall, and the city lord's mansion was really unimaginable. The forecourt was full of pavilions, rockery fountains, and all kinds of flowers and trees, all of which were obviously transplanted from elsewhere. Not to mention anything else, even the guardrails everywhere are exquisitely carved from white stone, and the cost is so luxurious that it can almost match the imperial palace.

When I finally arrived at the hall, this hall was magnificent, with a big red carpet on the floor, and it felt like it was floating in the air. And the hall is big enough, how is it a big law? Look, there are still a lot of vacant places for a hundred platforms, and there are wide aisles between the platforms.

The city lord and Ying Yuan stood in front of the hall to greet the guests, and everyone rushed in, handed the gifts to the city lord, and politely said congratulations. The lord of the city stroked his beard and smiled, very happy. He was wearing a golden silk robe with a large "Shou" embroidered on the front and back, and it seems that he attached great importance to the birthday of the year of the sixtieth birthday.

Ying Yuan caught a glimpse of Wu Wang's coming, and whispered in her father's ear. The city lord of Yingcheng suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Wang, and stepped forward with a spring breeze on his face.

Wu Wang and Yun Xin handed over the birthday gift and said in unison: "I wish the lord of Yingcheng a better life than Nanshan and good luck!" ā€

The city lord smiled and said, "Okay, please take a seat." ā€

Feel free to hand over the gift to the gift-receiving officer.

Wu Wu and Yun Xin sat at the largest banquet in the front row, belonging to the top of the distinguished guests, and all the dignitaries or giants who could be so high in front were those high-ranking officials and giants, and there were very few young people like Wu Wu and Yun Xin. Everyone suddenly looked sideways, quietly discussed, and asked who the two were, because everyone felt very strange.

Suddenly, I heard the city lord say loudly: "Ah, the cloud gate lord is here, which makes the old man feel very honored!" Don't be surprised! ā€

Wu Forget and Yun Xin glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that even Yunma came, and the biggest reason why they left Yunzhongmen was to avoid Yunma, but they didn't expect to bump into it, and they suddenly felt at a loss. Yunma also shared the stage with them, smiling and nodding to the two.

Wu Wangwu snorted: "The master of the door also came to worship his birthday, it is rare!" ā€

Yun Ma smiled: "I knew that Brother Wu was coming, so I don't have to worry about it." ā€

"You're welcome, the kid doesn't dare to take it."

"No, Brother Wu, the rivers and lakes are very complicated now, and I hope you will return to Yunzhongmen with me after the banquet."

Wu Wang shook his head.

Yun Ma stared at Yun Xin and said, "Could it be that Xin'er, a girl, also likes to live that kind of life under the tip of the knife?" ā€

Yun Xin clenched his fists, tried his best to calm himself, and said, "I need to come out and practice." ā€

The three of them fell into an impasse all of a sudden, and only drank tea slowly, but fortunately, there were people around to greet Yunma, and Yunma politely returned the salute, not looking so embarrassed.

The guests were almost here, the lord of Yingcheng sat on the side of the chairman of the dignitaries, and Yingyuan sat on the side of Yunma and Wu Wang. After a while, the sumptuous dishes were served one after another, and the lord of Yingcheng stood up to toast everyone, and the few polite words were repeated over and over again, nothing more than to thank everyone for patronizing and adding glory to his birthday.

Wu Wu felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him from afar, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but change color in astonishment, it turned out that there were two familiar figures on the other stage in the front row, it was the father and daughter of the Long family who met on the official road, that is, Long Chuanwen and Long Rulan, I didn't expect them to come to pay their respects. Wu Forget snorted coldly in his heart, it was now the city lord's big birthday banquet, and it was expected that they would not dare to mess around, not to mention that Yunma was here, and the dragon clan at least had scruples.

There were a few people who didn't know each other on the same stage as Wu Wang, and one of them was a middle-aged man in his thirties who suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone pays tribute to the city lord's birthday, and the gift is naturally very expensive." I heard that Lord Yu's son gave a big red longevity peach, which is carved from rare red jade, and there are a few jasper carved leaves to match, which is really rare in the world! ā€

It turned out that he was an adjutant under Lord Yu, and he deliberately announced the luxury of his future boss in public. And Yu Gongzi was sitting next to the city lord, with a smug smile on his face, and the city lord stroked his beard and toasted him with a glass of wine, thanking him for his generous gift. In fact, as the lord of Qincheng, he has never seen any gold, silver and jewelry, although the gift given by Yu Gongzi is valuable, it also has an atmosphere and creativity, but the city lord only sighed.

Yu Gongzi shook a fan made of silver handles, staring at Wu Wang, his eyes were actually full of jealousy. It turned out that Ying Yuan was sitting next to Wu Wang, he originally thought that Ying Yuan would be on the same stage with him and sit next to him, he was wishful thinking, Ying Yuan should have already known. But Ying Yuan doesn't seem to have a good impression of him all the time, and she seems to be so cold to everyone. Now that she is sitting next to Wu Wang, she is smiling, very charming and moving, which can make Yu Gongzi regard Wu Wang as a rival in love.

He saw that Wu Wang's clothes were precious, but if he looked closely, it was obviously a temporary patchwork, maybe it was just a temporary borrowed shirt to attend this birthday banquet. Because he saw at a glance the wind and dust of Wu Wang's wandering rivers and lakes, he thought that he must be very poor, and the gifts he gave naturally could not enter the eyes of all the distinguished guests here.

So, he deliberately made a mistake: "I don't know what treasure this brother gave to the city lord, you might as well let everyone see it." Everyone said, okay? ā€

"Good! Let's open our eyes! Many people immediately agreed, in fact, half of those people wanted to pat Yu Gongzi's ass, and half were indeed dissatisfied with Wu Wang's kid sitting in the front row.

The Lord of Yingcheng coughed dryly, turned his head to Wu Wang, and said apologetically: "This and this, alas, Brother Wu won't mind." ā€

Yu Gongzi hurriedly said: "How can he mind, ask the Receiving Priest to take it out and take a look." ā€

Wu Wu nodded.

Yang Chengyun, who was sitting next to Yu Gongzi, immediately asked the Receiving Secretary to take out Wu Wang's gift. I saw that the gift was a fist-sized brocade box, obviously a small thing.

Yu Gongzi stood up and glanced at it, and said with a sneer: "Duh, you can see that it's not a good thing!" ā€

When the priest opened the brocade box, he suddenly revealed a pair of thumb-sized jade ruyi, carved with a lifelike dragon. Everyone didn't care at first, but the city lord of Yingcheng suddenly got up, his face was unbelievably surprised, and he said loudly: "This, this is the Shuanglong Ruyi that has been lost for a thousand years!" Brother Wu Wangwu, where did you get this? Really send the old man? ā€

Wu Wu nodded and said very casually: "This pair of jade is not worth much, don't be surprised to send it to the city lord." ā€

The city lord wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "This is a rare antique, it is difficult to buy it for ten thousand gold, it is difficult to buy it for ten thousand gold!" ā€

Everyone suddenly gasped, and Yu Gongzi sat down even more depressed, his face was very ugly.
