Chapter 84: Shi Menglin
On one of the main roads of Lanxi Garden, Su Chen walked slowly.
Looking at the surrounding trees and branches against the backdrop of the night, Su Chen's heart seemed to calm down.
Why did the patriarch of the Shi family arrange the dinner here......
With such doubts in mind, Su Chen soon saw a not-so-large wooden attic appear at the end of the road.
This is the West Pavilion?
Su Chen thoughtfully came to the door of this attic, looked up, and saw that this attic with a strong atmosphere of time had two floors, and the window of the second floor was revealing a soft light.
People are on the second floor.
A ray of essence crossed Su Chen's eyes, and then he lightly pushed open the door in front of him.
Click!
It turned out that the door was just hidden, Su Chen pushed it with both hands and opened it in response.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Su Chen saw six beautifully dressed maids waiting on both sides of the first floor.
And these maids couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the guests who arrived.
How is it a child......
A maid standing on the left looked at Su Chen who came in, and asked with some hesitation, "You are His Highness Su Chen?"
"yes, not like that?"
Su Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"I'm sorry guest, it's the slave who lost her word...... The slave just didn't expect His Highness to be so small just now. After realizing that she had spoken abruptly, the maid's face was a little flustered.
"It's okay, what about your patriarch?" Su Chen smiled absently.
"The patriarch is on the second floor, please come with us. ”
After speaking, the maids bowed down slightly and began to lead the way.
And it was only at this time that Su Chen began to notice the scene inside the so-called West Pavilion, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
How could the interior of this West Pavilion be so large? It looked like it was just a small attic from the outside.
It should be a space-based formation, which is a bit of a mustard Na Sumeru......
At this moment, the West Pavilion in front of Su Chen is like an extremely luxurious restaurant, although there are only two floors, the space inside it is extremely large, and when it was first built, it was also thought that a lot of effort was put into the design, even if the decoration and wood of various walls were extremely luxurious, but the overall look gave people a very elegant and concise feeling.
There were a lot of rooms on both sides, but they were obviously emptied early at the moment, and there was no one in them, quietly.
The six maids didn't say a word, lowered their heads and silently led the way in front of Su Chen, and after passing through the central hall on the first floor, they soon saw a huge gilded wooden door built directly behind.
"Your Highness, the slaves and maids can only be sent here, you can go to the second floor through the stairs behind this door, where the patriarch has already set up a dinner for you. A maid spoke.
"Okay. Su Chen bowed slightly.
The gilded wooden door was obviously very heavy, and the six maids, three of them grabbed the handle at the same time, and with all their strength, they slowly pushed the huge wooden door inward, which was two people high.
Su Chen walked through the wooden door and saw a dark staircase spiraling upwards leading to the second floor of the West Pavilion.
Click!
Step by step on this dark staircase, after passing through the gloom around the corner, he saw a straight crystal avenue paved in front of Su Chen.
On both sides of this crystal avenue is a pool of blue waves, with green lotus flowers planted in the water, and bright red dragon carp rolling in the water.
Hehe, I thought that this Shi family advocated simplicity...... These big families are all the same in the end, even an ordinary small attic can lay a space circle for you, and then by the way, it will be like this.
I don't understand elegance!
Su Chen sighed.
At the end of the Crystal Avenue was a pale golden bead curtain, which Su Chen opened lightly and walked in.
......
Behind the beaded curtain is an elegant hall, and in front of the wine table in the center, there is an elegant-looking middle-aged man sitting at this moment, a woman in palace clothes and a purple-clothed girl who looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face.
"Hahaha, His Royal Highness Su Chen, you can be regarded as here. ”
After seeing Su Chen come in, the elegant man sitting at the right side of the wine table slowly stood up and greeted him in a harmonious voice.
"Let the Shi Clan wait for a long time. ”
Su Chen smiled slightly, there were no outsiders in this private room, obviously this elegant man was the patriarch of the Shi clan.
Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but glance sideways at the woman and the girl on the wine table, but found that they were also staring at him with burning eyes, especially the purple-clothed girl, whose delicate face was full of surprise at the moment.
"Your Highness, I am Shi Qing, the patriarch of the Shi clan, because the news that you are coming tonight is too sudden, so I only have time to arrange a family banquet for His Highness in a hurry, and I hope Your Highness will not blame. Shi Qing came close and bowed down, with a little apology on his face.
"Patriarch Shi doesn't need to be like this, just call me by my name, besides, I personally don't like to be noisy, the family banquet is very good. Su Chen waved his hand.
Since others treat him politely, Su Chen is naturally not the kind of person who doesn't know etiquette.
Besides, although Shi Qing, the patriarch of the Shi family, looks like he is only thirty or forty years old on the surface, if he talks about his real age, he may be much older than his grandfather Su Xuan, after all, the more advanced the cultivation of a martial arts powerhouse, the longer his longevity will be, just like those martial artists in the Tongshen Realm, their longevity can often reach eight hundred years old!
On the other side, hearing Su Chen's words, Shi Qing also nodded secretly in his heart, and looked up a little at this little highness named Su Chen.
"Okay, Su Chen Xiaoyou, let me introduce you first, the one on your left is my wife Shi Yu, and next to you is my daughter Shi Menglin, who is fifteen years old this year, slightly older than Your Highness. Shi Qing took Su Chen to the wine table and briefly introduced two sentences.
"Hmph, father, what do you mean by being only a little older, this guy has just entered the sect, that is, a little kid about ten years old, what can he know!" Before Su Chen could sit down, the girl who had been leaning on the woman's side suddenly spoke, her tone full of anger.
"Menglin, what nonsense are you talking about, and you still don't apologize to His Highness!" The palace woman on the side hurriedly reprimanded with a straight face.
"Mother, am I wrong? Among those juniors of the same age as him in the family, how can there be a sensible person who deserves to be called His Royal Highness at such a young age...... Hmph, I'm so ashamed. The girl named Shi Menglin not only did not stop when she heard the woman's accusation, but became more and more excited the more she spoke.
"That's enough! Menglin, for the purpose that my father brought you here today, I originally wanted you to get close to His Highness and get to know each other! I didn't let you talk nonsense here!" Shi Qing obviously didn't expect his daughter to be so unsophisticated, and she would say such things in front of Su Chen.
"Little friend Su Chen, I'm sorry, the little girl has always been spoiled, and she is open-mouthed, I hope you don't mind. Shi Qing glanced at Su Chen's face with some apprehension, for fear that His Royal Highness, who was still young, would be worried about it.
"Father, what do you apologize for......"
"Shut up! Don't say anything more!" Shi Qing was really angry, and glared fiercely at Shi Menglin, who was still a little unconvinced.
"Okay, Patriarch Shi, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, don't be serious. Su Chen said and sat down on the seat of the guest of honor.
"Thank you for your understanding. Seeing this, Shi Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.
You're a ten-year-old kid...... Say I'm a child?
Hearing this, Shi Menglin felt like he was going crazy!
Who is she Shi Menglin, the pearl of the Shi family's main family, and the martial arts qualification is the only one in a million high-grade qualifications, second only to the one or two demons in the family with super qualifications.
Moreover, although she had never been out of the Taiyuan Realm, she had always had a very high opinion of herself, thinking that those disciples of the Dao Dust Sect in the outside world were just rumored to be gods, and even peerless geniuses with super qualifications could only be miscellaneous disciples, how could this be possible!
However, no matter what Shi Menglin thought in his heart, after seeing Shi Qing's stern gaze at him, he still swallowed back the bitter water in his stomach.
