121. Go to a banquet
There were not many people who followed Han Xiao, and they were all arranged in the front yard.
Han Hu and the others, who went to Heyuan at the beginning, are still training in Qingyun Sect and Heyuan County, and will not come back for the time being.
After settling Lin Xiao'er and them, Han Xiao returned to his small courtyard.
The wing room is not big, and there is a half-square martial arts training ground in the courtyard, and there are already some moss marks on the bluestone slab.
Han Xiao reached out and grabbed the scattered stone locks and gently fiddled with them a few times.
Unconsciously, as he adapted to and recognized the identity of Han Xiao, a child of the Changning family, and had been acting in accordance with this identity, Tiandao's suppression of himself was also a little less.
It seems that after completely integrating into this world, he can quickly improve his realm.
I am Han Xiao, Han Sixteen of Changning Han Family.
Stretching out his hand to push open the door, Han Xiao walked into the room.
The layout is simple, but bows and arrows, long knives and other items are prepared, but there are not many items such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books, long cases, etc.
It seems that I will have to prepare a little more in the future.
After a short rest, the sun is already in the west.
Han Renguang ordered someone to call Han Xiao to the front hall.
"Xiao'er, what does your mother mean, let you go to the banquet with me, how much can let the elders and peers in the family know that you are back. Han Renguang's tone was a little unconfident.
He understands the pride of his children.
At the beginning, I couldn't practice, so I didn't go out for three months, and I was prepared for the Great Chu Law, and finally passed the official selection and was sent to be an official.
With this perseverance of his, if it were not for the limitations of his qualifications, there would certainly be nothing that could stump him on the path of cultivation.
can let him go to the banquet, facing those brothers in his generation who have already stepped into the immortal path, I am afraid that there will be some unhappiness in his heart.
It's just that in Xu Yuniang's opinion, since Han Xiao has returned, how can he show his face in the family.
Especially today's banquet is from the old nine families, and the prince of Qianshan may also participate.
Such an opportunity is rare, even if you flatter a few more words, you can have more friendship.
Han Renguang couldn't resist Xu Yuniang, so he had to call Han Xiao.
"Okay, it's just that my mother will be home alone today. Han Xiao said, looking at Xu Yuniang.
"It's okay, it's okay, isn't there Xiao'er and Yunniang to accompany me. When Xu Yuniang heard Han Xiao's promise, she hurriedly opened her mouth happily and pulled Yun Niang into her arms.
Han Renguang didn't expect Han Xiao to agree, and his face was stunned.
"Isn't Father leaving?" Han Xiao looked at Han Renguang and said.
"Let's go, let's go," Han Renguang walked out of the house and walked for a while, and couldn't help but whisper: "Xiao'er, don't care about what others say later, just eat more and watch more." ”
"Understood. Han Xiao replied with a smile.
The two of them didn't bring an entourage, they just walked along the bluestone road, and then came to Han Mingxiao's house.
Although they are peers, and Han Renguang is also in charge of the family's foreign affairs, the mansion is far inferior to Han Mingxiao.
Also within the walls of the Han family's mansion, Han Mingxiao's house is not only located in the front, but also several times the size of Han Renguang's house.
Three steps at the door, a small Qingyu square, at this time, many people have come one after another.
"Seventh Master, are you also at today's banquet?"
"This seems to be the little sixteen released by the old seven families, right? Why did you come back at this time?"
......
Han Renguang smiled on his face, bowed his hand to every family peer or elder or junior he met, and then introduced Han Xiao roughly.
Because Han Xiao didn't know what position he would reassign, he had to hide the matter of the appointment, and said that he would come back to visit his relatives.
When the two walked through the crowd into Han Mingxiao's house, there was some discussion behind them.
"Last time, who said that the old seven families grew up in the sixteenth and achieved the eighth-rank position? How long did it take to be pushed back to the family?"
"Maybe it's really back to visit relatives? Xiao Sixteen is a little less qualified, and he is still very hard working on weekdays. ”
"Hehe, my generation's cultivation, is it hard work?"
"That's right. ”
......
Han Renguang peeked at Han Xiao and saw that his expression was calm, so he put his mind at ease, he reached out and patted Han Xiao's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Don't pay attention to it." ”
Han Xiao smiled and didn't speak.
In fact, in the past few years, he was okay, he worked hard again, and his cultivation has always been the top among his peers.
But in the past two years, due to the limitations of his qualifications, his cultivation has not been able to be improved, and there are already a lot of cold words in the family.
After all, Han Renguang is in charge of foreign affairs, and there are always some benefits leaked to his children, right?
Han Xiao wants to be released, which also means a little bit of hiding and quiet.
"The Seventh Master is here!" The butler in a gray robe stepped forward and bowed, and then said: "Seventh Master, the Ninth Master's cultivation is not over yet, the Ninth Master said, you are just here, help preside over it first." ”
Han Renguang is used to organizing family banquets, and he also presides over family banquets on weekdays.
However, in this peer family, he is generally not embarrassed to mess with him, after all, he still has some face in the family.
However, today's Han Mingxiao's father is expensive by virtue of his son, and his own cultivation is not bad, so it is not a matter to send Han Renguang away.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Lao Jiu trusts me, then I'll go over once. ”
Han Renguang hurriedly arched his hand, then turned to look at Han Xiao and said, "Xiao'er, you find a place to sit down first, and I will arrange the banquet." ”
Han Xiao nodded, saw that there were many people in the courtyard, and said, "I'll go around first." ”
Han Renguang gave Han Xiao a look that didn't want to make trouble, and walked with the housekeeper to the main hall.
"Fifth brother, you are also here, hurry, please take a seat for the fifth brother, today is the banquet of the old nine families, and the fifth brother will definitely sit on the first ......"
Han Renguang's voice became more and more intense, and he stepped into the hall.
Han Xiao shook his head, with such a mundane world, how can he grow in cultivation?
After leaving for more than half a year, Han Renguang's cultivation did not advance but retreated.
It's just that he also understands that he has not lacked pills since he was a child, and he has all kinds of exercises, which Han Renguang tried to get.
Relying on his own cultivation, if he wasn't mellow in everything, he would have some secular voice in the family, and he would definitely not be able to get those good things.
"I heard that no, the prince of Qianshan is said to have been summoned by the ancestor again, and it seems that he also went to the secret place of the family. ”
Han Xiao took a few steps forward and heard a few young people standing by the water pavilion in the corridor muttering.
"Family Secret Land, isn't that to teach the Zhen Clan Exercises!"
Someone let out a low breath.
"Why, at this age, this cultivation is not worthy of cultivation by the ancestors?"
The person who spoke before snorted coldly.
"That's right, it's just that in this way, what does the family Dabi mean, isn't it decided in advance?"
Some people whispered unwillingly.
In two months, it will be the day of the family competition, and the elites of the descendants of the eighteenth family of Changning will participate.
Those who emerge in this big competition will have the opportunity to be appreciated by the family and given the town exercises.
But now, Han Qianshan was directly summoned by the ancestor and awarded the exercises, who can be the enemy in the big competition?
"Hey, isn't this the sixteenth brother?"
Seeing Han Xiao coming, someone said in a slightly surprised voice.
The few people over there all turned their heads and looked at Han Xiao.
Although Han Xiao was not wearing a Confucian robe at this time, he was not wearing the kind of military uniform worn by the children of the family, his clothes were loose and more elegant.
It's just that this costume is unique among the martial arts family.
"Sixteen have seen the tenth brother, the thirteenth brother, and the brothers. ”
As soon as Han Xiao raised his hand, he naturally moved.
This kind of scribe's style made everyone stunned for a while.
