Chapter Thirty-Six: The Old Settles

At night, the Uchiha station was lit up like a celebration, and the atmosphere was full of excitement and joy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And in the courtyard of the patriarch's mansion in the center of the station, a small round table has been set up, and around this round table, several characters whose every move may affect Konoha sits around.

Tokugawa Hidetada was pushed to the most prestigious position by everyone, and on either side of him sat the two eldest, Sarutobi Hizashi and Uchiha Sao. Next to Sarufei sat Shuo Mao, who didn't say a word, and between Shuo Mao and Ming Yuan sat one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, the expression on his face was quite interesting, and then there was Ming Yuan and his wife and Fuqiu, who was sitting next to Sao.

A strange smile flashed in Xiuzhong's eyes, and at this moment, Nanako walked over with a jar of wine in one hand and a dish in the other.

"Come on, come on, pour the wine first, pour the wine first, the first few dishes have been prepared, and they will be served immediately."

"Sao and Fuqiu, today is our east, you two should persuade more wine and let everyone drink more. If you drink too little and make everyone unhappy, or if you look like a stuffy gourd, see how I clean you up at night! ”

Nanako put down the wine jar and dishes, and said with a smile: "I haven't made such a banquet at home for a long time, I don't know how much of my craft is left, don't dislike it." ”

Xiuzhong laughed and said, "How come? How could it be! ”

"The patriarch's wife is really hard, and you have to cook such a table of dishes alone. Hmm, it's so fragrant, come, I'll give you a drink, thank you so much! ”

Nanako covered her mouth and smiled, waving her other hand: "Where is it so troublesome, just cook a few dishes, don't be too polite, just eat!" ”

Xiuzhong picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all: "How can there be such a thing, after eating the dishes you cooked, how about saying thank you?" What do you say, I can't be the only one who drinks this wine, right? ”

"Come on, come on, everyone should have a toast!"

Hearing this, everyone also smiled and picked up their wine glasses, and they all drank it all.

"You guys, really, no, I have to go and see the kitchen again, you eat, you must eat to your heart's content!" With that, Nanako smiled and went to the kitchen.

Xiuzhong picked up the wine glass again and said to Sarufei and Sao: "Come, Xiuzhong took the liberty to come and disturb His Excellency Hokage and His Excellency the Patriarch, and you have to give a glass to the two of you as a junior." Do it first for respect! ”

He tilted his head again, pursed his lips, shook his glass, and indeed there was not a drop of wine.

Sarufei and Sao said "politely", and the two of them also raised their respective wine glasses, and they both drank it all happily.

Xiuzhong added another drink to himself, and said to Ming Yuan Shuomao Orochimaru and the others: "Come, our age difference is not too big, can we barely be regarded as a generation?" This cup is ours, we can't shirk it! ”

Several ninjas in their prime, stood up and answered the cup.

Xiuzhong narrowed his eyes and slurred his lips, as if he was reminiscing about the sweet aroma of wine.

He looked at Ming Yuan and Qianji and said with a smile: "It's been ten years, and when I see Ming Yuanjun, I am already a person who has started a family, it's really fast." I didn't even know when you got married, you should be punished, you should be punished, I will punish myself. “

He replied: "Okay, okay, it's good to have a family." I just had a child a few years ago, and I went to tease the child after dealing with official duties, and it was endless fun! I didn't make it to your wedding, so here, I wish you a noble son soon? “

Ming Yuan and Qian Ji both had red on their faces, and they picked up their wine glasses and thanked Xiuzhong.

Xiuzhong's eyes swept over Shuo Mao, who was speechless, as if he remembered something, and asked, "Hey, the head of the Qimu family, why didn't Mrs. come?" “

Shuo Mao let out an "ah" and said respectfully: "Clumsy Jing is playful, she went out for wild feet yesterday and caught a cold today, so I asked her to recuperate at home, so don't come out again to avoid aggravation." My child Kakashi is taking care of her at home, and she can't come, so I hope I'll forgive me. “

Xiuzhong waved his hand and said, "Where, where, it's still important to be physical." I've also heard the name of Kakashi Hagi, and I've heard that he is a great genius, and he has the demeanor of the head of the Hagi family! “

Shuo Mao waved his hand and said: "It's just a reputation touted by others, it's nothing." “

Inadvertently, Shuo Mao's gaze met Ming Yuan and Qianji, his gaze moved, and he gave an apologetic look, and then fell silent again.

Xiuzhong looked at Orochimaru again and asked in a curious tone, "This is Orochimaru, one of the legendary Three Ninjas, right?" When I saw it today, it really deserved its name! “

He sighed and asked, "I remember sending invitations to the other two as well, why aren't they available?" “

Orochimaru had a strange smile on his cold face, and his gaze matched with Ming Yuan and Qianji intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "Ah, the two of them drank all night last night, and they haven't sobered up today." I really can't wake them up, so I'll just forget it, and I hope the daimyo-sama will forgive me. ”

Xiuzhong put on such an expression, clapped his hands and said: "I have long heard that those two are extremely bold drinkers, and it is really a pity that we can't get together today!" ”

"However, with so many people gathered together, it's not in vain that Mrs. Nanako has made a table of good dishes!"

"Come, come, drink, eat!"

……

"Well, I'm not drunk, I can still drink!"

"Today, today I am happy! When I drank in the Uchiha clan, my father felt very happy, and I felt comfortable too! ”

Xiuzhong opened his drunken eyes, obviously drunk.

Sao Uchiha stood up and said, "Everyone, let's stop here today." ”

He said to Xiuzhong: "Lord Daimyo, your residence has been packed, and I will take you there." You've been tired for a long time, and you should be tired, so it's better to have a good night's rest. ”

Xiuzhong muttered "I'm not drunk" "I'm not drunk", and his worried gaze met that of Ape Fei, and then slowly closed his eyes, making an even breathing sound.

"Then the Daimyo will bother you to take care of it." Ape Fei said politely, "It's not too early, and the old decay has to go back." ”

Like him, Shuo Shigeru and Ming Yuan and the others also said goodbye to Uchiha Sao together, and several people walked out of the Uchiha residence one after another.

……

Lights lit up on both sides of the street, and several shadows were stretched to the ground for a long time, and there was silence in all directions.

The Uchiha clan's residence is located in a corner of Konoha, and there is a very long way from here to each person's residence.

Originally, it should be a very pleasant thing to come out of the banquet and walk together, most of the people were talking, but a few people didn't say a word. Sarufei's face was indifferent, Shuo Mao was silent, Ming Yuan and Qianji walked aside, and Orochimaru had a strange smile on his face.

More than ten minutes later, Shuo Mao said, "I've arrived." ”

He nodded to Sarufei and Orochimaru, as if he hadn't seen Ming Yuan and Qianji, and he walked towards the Qimu family house not far away.

At the gate of the mansion, Kakashi and Ying were already waiting there, their eyes cast on Ming Yuan and Chiki, both with helplessness and apology, and then quickly turned their gaze.

Qianji's hand gently held Ming Yuan's palm, she found that Ming Yuan's palm was a little cold and a little shaky, she added some strength to hold it tightly.

Ming Yuan turned his head, smiled at her, and shook his head. (To be continued.) )
