Chapter 58: The Song Mansion's Birthday Banquet
Cousin?
Xi Yutang looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, not half unhappy in his heart, but quite curious about the comer.
I saw that the girl was dressed in a peach-colored embroidered gold dress, with high-quality clothing, a red soft whip wrapped around her waist, sixteen or seventeen years old, the size only reached the shoulders of Yue Qingfeng, she looked petite and exquisite, but her figure had grown up, revealing the young girl's first-ripe green and enchanting atmosphere, and her delicate little face had a shy flush like sunset, and her big eyes were shining and beautiful as jewels.
Moving his eyes to the girl's white plain hands, Xi Yutang found the thin callus on her thumb sharply, thinking of her whip, thinking that she was also a kung fu person, but she didn't know what her identity was.
I've known Yue Qingfeng for so long, and it's the first time I've seen someone so close to him. The world says that the less the lord is gentle and good-tempered, but those who know him well know that he is not allowed to enter when he is born, and he hates to contact people casually, let alone women. It seems that this girl has a lot to do with him, otherwise, with his skills, if he doesn't want people to get close, he can get out of it casually, right?
Xi Yutang glanced at the arms of the two people who were in close contact a few more times, and stood calmly to the side, seeing Yue Qingfeng was surprised at first, and then subconsciously looked up at himself, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Xie Wan, let go." Yue Qingfeng looked at the girl beside her lightly.
"No, I haven't seen my cousin in a long time!" Xie Wan opened her mouth squeamishly, not only did she not loosen, but hugged her tighter, "Cousin doesn't come to the capital, Wan'er can't see you, I wanted to beg my mother to go to Jiangnan to see you, but I saw you today, hey." β
As she spoke, she raised her pretty little face and looked at the person in front of her with anticipation, "Cousin, how long have you been in the capital this time?" Can you spend more time with Wan'er? β
Yue Qingfeng had to use internal force to shake the girl away, and took two steps back before speaking, "After the birthday banquet, I will visit Old Man Xie and Aunt Ting." β
Seeing that she was about to pounce on herself again, she suddenly said, "Stand up, this is the Song Mansion, have you forgotten the etiquette?" β
Xie Wan froze and bit her lip unwillingly.
The Xie family? Xi Yutang listened to it in his ears, and thought of Xie Yanzhi's piano in Yue Qingfeng's room, it turned out that there was such a relationship?
Most of the families like to marry, and the Yue family and the Xie family are both famous families in the Great Jin Dynasty, so it is not surprising that there are marriages. It's just that for some reason, when she heard that he had a marriage contract, her heart beat half a beat slower, and she was always a little unhappy, staring at the arm that had just been hugged by Xie Wan, thinking about whether to cut it off and throw it away......
She was distracted on the side, and she didn't hear Yue Qingfeng reprimanding Xie Wan, but soon, her attention was drawn back by the little girl beside her.
"What kind of Xuantian saintess are you?" Xie Wan was not as tall as Xi Yutang, she raised her chin slightly when she spoke, and her voice was crisp and condescending, "I tell you, my cousin won't like you, don't you want to let him hear it?" β
β¦β¦ It's really a disaster for the pond fish.
Xi Yutang raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl meaningfully, "Who is the girl?" β
"You don't know me?" Xie Wan's eyes widened in surprise, and then a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, "This girl is the daughter of the Xie family, the fiancΓ©e of her cousin, Xie Wan!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that the girl swore an oath of ownership like a high-spirited warrior, Xi Yutang not only did not get angry, but wanted to laugh. It is very rare for her to see such an energetic girl, and she is also highly tolerant of beautiful girls, and when she saw Xie Wan, it was like seeing an angry Jiang Qiantong, and she was a little distracted for a while.
I don't know if Qiantong showed the hosta, did Liu Manyun see it again? What is her relationship with Meng Shisan?
"Hey, Miss Ben is talking to you!" Xie Wan saw that the person in front of her didn't answer for a long time, and suddenly became angry, "Don't think it's great that you have Xi Yutang covered, I said that my cousin won't like you, did you hear that!" β
Hearing his name, Xi Yutang suddenly came back to his senses, frowned subconsciously, and felt that his state was a little wrong, as if someone had curled his hair for him...... Raising his eyes, seeing Yue Qingfeng frowning and almost wanting to speak, he immediately gave him a look, and then looked at the person in front of him, "Isn't it natural for the sect leader to protect me?" β
Xie Wan was stunned, she didn't expect her to avoid the point, and she didn't shy away from mentioning Xi Yutang, and glanced at Yue Qingfeng carefully, only to see that the latter was looking at her coldly, and she was a little panicked, "You, you, you are by my cousin's side, what are you doing with the surname Xi, do you want to step on two boats?" Is it okay to have my cousin with the surname Xi? β
ββ¦β¦β
Xi Yutang almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Fang Cai was not allowed to hold on to Yue Qingfeng, and he would think that she was with Yue Qingfeng, and this position swayed like a tumbler...... is really ignorant and innocent, what an enviable age.
"Xie Wan, that's enough!" Yue Qingfeng shouted coldly in a rare voice, "Apologize." β
Xie Wan's eyes widened suddenly, "Cousin, you asked me to apologize to her?" β
"It doesn't matter." Xi Yutang spoke, "Miss Xie is innocent and cute, she hasn't done anything wrong." β
Xie Wan looked at her in surprise, and the bunch of words on her lips were so choked that she couldn't speak, so she could only say with a stiff face, "...... Count you as acquaintances. Stay away from my cousin, you know? β
"Okay." Xi Yutang did not hesitate to respond.
Xie Wan: "......"
Yue Qingfeng: "......"
Two steps forward and grabbed her wrist, Yue Qingfeng explained a little at a loss, "I don't have a marriage contract with her, she is my cousin." β
Xi Yutang glanced at him coldly, did not answer, and saw that everyone had already entered the front hall, shook his hand with skill, bowed slightly to the two, and took Leng Yi to take the first step.
Yue Qingfeng's hand was empty, but he felt that his heart seemed to be empty, and he looked at Xie Wan coldly, who couldn't help but tremble when he met his threatening gaze, "Cousin, I ...... that"
"You'd better mess with her less, do you hear me?" Yue Qingfeng was a little moved, and coughed a few times, "Marriage is not a child's play, don't say those words again in the future." β
Xie Wan pursed her lips aggrievedly, her eyes were slightly red, "You murder me, ......"
At this point, Yue Qingfeng glanced at her indifferently, and chased after her with a little effort, leaving Xie Wan in place, looking at the backs of the two leaving, and clenching his fists in his sleeves fiercely.
οΌοΌοΌ
Song Jitong's birthday banquet was extremely grand, and there were a lot of guests, men and women were seated, and the name of Xi Yutang's Xuantian Holy Maiden attracted the curiosity of many people. Coincidentally, the same table was from the Snow Palace.
Xi Yutang glanced at Jiang Qiantong, and saw that the other party really didn't put the hosta out, and his heart was a little relieved.
As she knew, Liu Manyun was really close, in addition to Jiang Qiantong, there was also Lu Jingrou, who competed with her during the martial arts conference, and several disciples. Seeing her again, because of the presence of others, Jiang Qiantong only bowed her head slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, it seemed that although she fled without permission, she was not punished by Liu Manyun, and she was really favored.
Silently apologized to Qiantong in his heart, Xi Yutang was in no mood to eat, he didn't even drink tea, he just rubbed the teacup while thinking about his next action.
The date of the task set by Wei Han for herself is approaching, and it is indeed a good time to start today, three days ago, she made another summary of Song Jitong's information, and she had an idea in her heart, and now the focus is to get out.
During the banquet, Xi Yutang could feel that a lot of eyes fell on her, and she had almost all the people in the rivers and lakes who came today, and it was probably a little difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of these people.
Thinking of this, she quietly raised her eyes to look at Xie Wan not far away, who was biting her ears with a few friends in the capital, Xi Yutang listened attentively, but she couldn't hear it completely, but she vaguely heard the name of 'Lanyu'.
I wish they could do something about it instead of doing that.
pinched the medicine bottle in her sleeve, which she deliberately asked Shen Qi to take before going out, and she really didn't want to use it until she had to.
At that time, Song Jitong was also quietly looking at Xi Yutang, while looking, he quietly looked at his apprentices, and he was a little moved. In his opinion, Yue Qingfeng and Lan Yu have no drama at all, and the feud between the two families is difficult to solve, and he also saw the scene of Xie Wan in his eyes, Lan Yu is clearly indifferent to whether Yue Qingfeng has a marriage contract or not, and Lang has no intention of having a concubine.
If Han'er can win over the saint......
If the saint is Xi Yutang's person, winning over the saint is to offend Xi Yutang, but if Xi Yutang is dead, the Xuantian Sect is the saint's, and of course it is theirs.
And if the saint and Xi Yutang are not in a relationship between men and women, then the saint falling to them is equivalent to putting a nail inside Xuantian, which is also extremely beneficial to what they are trying to do......
Thinking about it, Song Jitong couldn't find the drawbacks of winning over the saintess, the biggest obstacle was Xi Yutang and they would have to kill sooner or later, as for Yue Qingfeng...... With the actions of the young master of the Yue family, Wei Han is not Xi Yutang, it is impossible for him to do anything to snatch people from Wei Han, so there is no threat.
The more Song Jitong thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was wonderful, glanced at Wei Han, who was not smiling beside him, and nodded with satisfaction.
His apprentice is naturally the best, with Lanyu, but he still wronged Han'er.
But if you want to come to a woman, if the wood is already in the boat, she can't turn over any wind and waves.
Thinking like this, he first transmitted the sound to Ouyang Xuan beside him, who smiled quietly and chatted with people, but nodded without a trace. Then Song Ji got up and changed his clothes, and entered the inner room generously. Not long after, a little girl whispered a few words in Mrs. Song's ear, and Mrs. Song got up apologetically to say hello to the guests at the same table, and calmly returned to the backyard.
Not long after, the two returned to the banquet one after the other, without attracting anyone's attention.
After the banquet, Mrs. Song invited the ladies to visit the garden and enjoy the flowers. There are many precious chrysanthemums in the Song Mansion, the scenery is excellent, everyone in the capital knows, seeing the hostess personally speak, everyone is also willing to give face, and walk towards the garden.
As for the male guests, Song Jitong has his own arrangements, which is nothing more than a poem to enjoy the flowers and visit the lake, or to have a martial arts competition, which will not make the guests bored.
Xi Yutang followed the female dependents absentmindedly to enjoy the flowers, but in fact, every place she walked was confirming the map in her mind. Leng Yi didn't follow her, but mixed with the male guest, just waiting for the time to be ripe, and he started when he received her signal.
Soon after, Mrs. Song beckoned everyone into the cloister and pavilion to rest, and thoughtfully brought tea.
Xi Yutang followed into the pavilion, and not long after he sat down, he saw Xie Wan and several little girls also coming over, and soon after sitting down, one of the girls in green said that he was happy, and suddenly said loudly, "I really can't get used to some people who sell their fame and reputation, thinking that they can pretend to be beautiful under a veil?" If you want me to say, I don't know if you look ugly. β
Is this talking about her?
Xi Yutang raised his eyes and looked over.
The woman in green didn't care about her gaze at all, and held Xie Wan intimately, "If you want me to say, our Wan'er is the number one beauty in the capital, and I don't think it's much different from that Jiang girl." β
When several people heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.
Xie Wan couldn't help but smack her with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, Senior Sister Jiang can't be compared to me." β
The woman in green blinked, "You can't say that, our Wan'er is a daughter of a family, and she doesn't walk the rivers and lakes, otherwise she may not be able to make a name for herself." β
"That's it, although your Senior Sister Jiang is beautiful, she has seen too much and is like that." Another girl in a tender yellow Luo skirt smiled, "It's better for us to be more beautiful." β
Everyone immediately laughed and agreed, and one of them said, "In short, they are all better than some people who don't even dare to show their faces, and they actually dare to climb higher than the young master......"
The other people in the pavilion looked at each other, and because they did not lower their voices, many people quietly looked at Xi Yutang. Not far away, Liu Manyun, Jiang Qiantong and others and Mrs. Song also heard the movement, and walked over, Mrs. Song said, "Isn't this Miss Xie, I don't know what happy thing I'm talking about?" β
The woman in green smiled and grabbed the words, "I'm talking about Wan'er and the younger master, they are really talented and beautiful, and they are very worthy." β
Xie Wan blushed shyly, got up and saluted Liu Manyun and Mrs. Song, "Master, madam, don't listen to their nonsense, cousin and other people from Zhilan Yushu can not be climbed by anyone." β
β¦β¦ Speaking of this, Xi Yutang was a little embarrassed if she didn't give a reaction, and seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, she said unhurriedly, "The younger the master, is indeed a good match, and the girl of the Xie family has a good eye." β
Xie Wan's face turned red, although she was a daughter of a family, she was a person who practiced martial arts, and her personality was lively and straightforward, "Cousin and other men are naturally popular...... Thank you to the Holy Maiden for her fulfillment. β
Xi Yutang didn't like her statement, but he didn't want to argue, so he only said lightly, "The less the master, the more it is anyone's property, how can it be used to fulfill it, Miss Xie thinks too much." β
Xie Wan choked for a moment and didn't speak, but the woman in green next to her said angrily, "You are so strange, we Wan'er are so angry to talk to you, but you have a gun and a stick, and I don't know whose upbringing is so poor." β
"Look at what you said." The woman in the tender yellow Luo skirt gently pushed her little friend, "People are saints." β
"Cut, who knows if the people in the snowy mountains are all hairy and drink blood." The woman in green pouted.
Xi Yutang squinted, the hand holding the teacup tightened, and was about to make a move, but unexpectedly, Jiang Qiantong spoke, "How can I look at someone else talking with a gun and a stick?" Wan'er, these friends of yours are really eye-opening. β
Raising his eyes in surprise, Xi Yutang didn't expect this girl to help her speak, obviously Jiang Nan still had a bad attitude and played a little temper.
"Senior sister, they don't mean anything else." Xie Wan looked at Jiang Qiantong, "It's just a small talk." β
Jiang Qiantong didn't have a good breath, "I hope so." Saying that, he looked at Xi Yutang, "Lanyu, I'm going to enjoy the flowers, do you want to go together?" β
Rather than staying here to watch these little girls make trouble, of course she prefers to be with Qiantong, so she naturally nodded and got up, "Let's go." β
Passing by Xie Wan and the others, seeing someone inadvertently stretching out his foot, Xi Yutang didn't squint, stepped on it, only to hear the crisp cracking sound of bones, and the woman in green screamed and exhaled in pain.
Who is Xi Yutang, it is difficult to go down that foot without scrapping. She walked towards Jiang Qiantong without squinting, but there was an exclamation from everyone behind her, Xie Wan got up angrily and shouted, "Lan Yu, you stop!" What do you mean?! β
Xi Yutang stopped, turned around, looked over indifferently, and only heard Xie Wan say sharply, "Do you know who she is?" She is the only daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials, and a disciple of the Blood Killing Palace! β
ββ¦β¦ That's right. Xi Yutang chuckled, "It turned out to be the Blood Killing Palace, no wonder it was weak like this." β
The Blood Killing Hall and the Xuantian Sect have had a grudge for many years, and she dared to kill the Blood Jade in front of all the leaders, what was she afraid of if she abolished one of his disciples?
"You!" Xie Wan was furious, pulled out the whip on her waist and swung it over.
β¦β¦ So, why did she dress up as a woman? There are a lot of rights and wrongs in the women's pile, if it is a men's identity at this time, I don't know how much to play on the other side......
Whoever it is, from the moment he enters the door, he has been targeted until now, and he will not be happy in his heart. Originally, she still had a good impression of Xie Wan, thinking that this girl was innocent and cute, and she was Yue Qingfeng's cousin, so she didn't want to care, but there was no reason to knock on the door and not fight back.
Besides, isn't it what she expects to make trouble out of disputes?
Seeing that the whip was approaching, many people exclaimed, Xie Wan's kung fu is good, and only one whip can make people see that she has good strength, but this whip is aimed at her face, Xi Yutang is helpless, and he grabbed the whip in his hand.
In the next second, with a flick of her wrist, the whip was pulled back towards Xie Wan the same way.
Xie Wan was shocked, and suddenly found that this speed was faster than her, and seeing that it was about to be pumped into her face, Liu Manyun beside her couldn't stand it, and the sleeve wind flicked on Xie Wan's wrist, and the whip instantly fell into the lake under the pavilion.
"Holy Maiden, enough is enough." Liu Manyun said coldly, "Xie Wan is my disciple from the Snow Palace. β
"So what?" Xi Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Is the palace master planning to be related to Lan Yupan?" β
Snow Mountain Xuantian Sect, behind her is Xi Yutang, Liu Manyun knew what she said, and she was secretly annoyed, but she couldn't sit back and watch her disciple get injured and ignore it, "The saint is strong in martial arts, bullying juniors like this, is Xuantian's style?" Don't forget that Xie Wan is not only a person who leaves the Snow Palace, but also the concubine of the Xie family and the cousin of the younger master. β
Xi Yutang sneered and didn't speak, but the woman in green, who had been lying on the ground and screaming in pain, didn't say a word, and a poison-soaked hidden weapon shot out and came straight towards her. Listening to Jiang Qiantong's caution, Xi Yutang stepped on Lingyun on the spot, his body dodged, his long sleeves waved, and all the hidden weapons were included in his sleeves, and in the next second, all of them were returned.
The woman in green couldn't dodge, and the hidden weapon hit her body, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and passed out on the spot.
Everyone was shocked.
Xi Yutang snorted lightly and looked at Mrs. Song apologetically, "I'm sorry, madam, I forgot that it is not appropriate to see blood at Mr. Song's birthday banquet today." β
After all, there were female dependents around, and everyone was shocked by Xi Yutang's merciless behavior, and soon, the timid person screamed, "Killed!! β
Mrs. Song was also frightened, "Quick, go and sue Master SΓΉ for an accident!" β
"It's okay, you can't die." Xi Yutang lazily took out an antidote pill, stepped forward and pinched the chin of the woman in green and threw the medicine into it, and the palm of his hand turned into the medicine, and the girl's dark face suddenly improved a lot.
Everyone looked at her in a daze, and they forgot to speak for a while.
After feeding the medicine, he got up and kicked the girl in the abdomen, only to hear the other party cough twice with difficulty, and woke up faintly, and screamed in horror at the person in front of him.
Xi Yutang coldly retracted her gaze, and as soon as she turned around, a cup of tea with temperature happened to splash her all over her face.
She subconsciously closed her eyes, felt the tea flowing down her veil, and the murderous intent in her eyes appeared, and she suddenly glared at the woman in the tender yellow Luo skirt who was still in the posture of pouring tea.
The latter was so startled that the whole person took a few steps back and crashed into Xie Wan, who reflexively protected the person behind him and looked over vigilantly.
Because the veil was wet, the white gauze was tightly attached to the face, outlining Lan Yujiao's good facial outline, although the veil was not taken, it could be seen that the other party was not inferior to Jiang Qiantong's excellent appearance.
Xie Wan's eyes flashed, and the fingers clenched into fists tightened a little more.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the murderous aura, Xi Yutang was speechless for a while.
What do you say you are doing when you pour tea, but you can hurt me by throwing a hidden weapon......
retarded.
