Chapter Forty-Eight: Lingxian Uncle Li
Gu Jiangzheng handed over a handful of barbecue meat to a classmate and took a spirit stone with satisfaction.
A middle-aged man came from the crowd, it was the previous Uncle Li, after taking a closer look at Gu Jiang, Uncle Li asked with a faint smile, "This little brother is called Gu Jiang, right?"
Gu Jiang nodded in surprise, and before he could speak, a sturdy student beside him squeezed over and said to Uncle Li, "If you want to buy skewers, line up later!"
You're not polite at all.
Uncle Li's face did not change, and he said slowly: "I'm not here to buy roast...... Alas, alas...... What are you doing?"
Before he finished speaking, he was already squeezed out by several classmates.
A little fat man in the front row snorted and said, "Is it great to know Gu Jiang?
A dignified master, the cultivation of the Five Realms Immortal, no matter where he goes in Guanghua City, others will give him enough face, but right in front of him, he was driven out of the queue by several little fat students.
Uncle Li's cultivation has reached the third grade of the Spirit Immortal, even Gu Xinghai and Kong Miao of Chongyun Academy have a big gap with him, and in Guanghua City, he is one of the very few real masters.
More than half an hour passed, and Uncle Li finally lined up in front of Gu Jiang, Gu Jiang was somewhat impressed by this uncle, smiled and said, "How many strings do you want?"
Uncle Li shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm not here to buy skewers. ”
With a flick of his hand, there was suddenly an invitation card with dark red dotted with gold wire, which seemed to be very expensive.
"In Xia Yuli, I specially sent an invitation to the little brother. ”
Hearing the name Yu Li, among the people gathered around, the faces of a few people changed slightly, and they looked at Uncle Li in surprise.
I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but the name Yu Li is still well-known in Guanghua City, the realm of immortals, the cultivation is higher than the dean, what kind of concept is that.
However, there are still most doubts in the eyes of everyone, at least the person in front of him lacks the demeanor of a master, plus the previous scene, he doesn't look like a master of the fairy realm.
Gu Jiang was a little surprised, took the invitation, looked at it suspiciously, and said, "What kind of invitation is this, do you want to follow it?"
Uncle Li smiled bitterly and said, "This post was sent by Jingyuan, and I specially invited my little brother to go to Jingyuanhou's Mansion tomorrow to attend a dinner." ”
There was a sudden gasp around him, although Gu Jiang didn't know, it didn't mean that the rest of the students didn't know.
Jing Yuanhou is a pivotal figure in Guanghua City, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in Guanghua City, although he has no substantive official position, but how can anyone in the city dare to disobey his will. It's just that this immortal master named Yu Li is just a housekeeper in the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion.
Thinking of Senior Sister Lanyue and the expensive carriage that appeared before, plus the invitation now, no one dares to doubt Yu Li's identity anymore, as for the little fat man who squeezed him out of the crowd before, this will have already run away without a trace.
Gu Jiang looked at the invitation in his hand, frowned and asked, "What dinner, what are you inviting me for?"
Yu Li smiled faintly and said: "Little brother came out of Guanghua City to know, at the end of each year, the Hou Ye will set up a dinner party in the Hou Mansion to invite new and old friends in Guanghua City, tomorrow night is my young lady's eighteenth birthday, so this year's dinner is much grander than in previous years." ”
This is true, Guanghua City will hold a feast in the Hou Mansion at the end of every year, this banquet is far from being comparable to the wedding and funeral banquets of other large families, and it has extraordinary and special significance.
As long as it is a person in Guanghua City, they are all proud to be able to participate in the banquet of the Hou Mansion, and every year I don't know how many people squeeze their heads to find ways to enter the Hou Mansion, as long as they can be invited to participate in the banquet, they can show their status, and their status will rise.
And the annual banquet guests present gifts, there are countless rare treasures, in order to step into the threshold of the Hou Mansion, everyone does not hesitate to fight the head to break the blood, if it is because their gifts are too shabby, the next year I am afraid that it will be difficult to receive the invitation sent by the Hou Mansion.
Yu Li continued: "As for why I want to invite the little brother, that is what Hou Ye meant, it should be because the little brother is talented and young, and the Hou Ye has always loved talents, so he specially invited, I am just a subordinate, it is inconvenient to say more, Gu Xiao Ge can ask in person when he sees Hou Ye tomorrow night." ”
Gu Jiang secretly scolded in his heart: "You have finished speaking, and it is inconvenient to say more." ”
It seemed that after thinking about it for a while, Gu Jiang handed the invitation back and said: "You tell Master Hou, I understand the kindness, but you have also seen it here, business is very good every day, you can't do without people, what kind of banquet do you have, I won't go." ”
Yu Li's old face suddenly turned purple, and he was stupid for a moment, he never imagined that the invitation of the Hou Mansion would be rejected in Guanghua City.
"This ......"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and there were many discussions, and many people even cast reverent glances at Gu Jiang, and in everyone's minds, Gu Jiang's image seemed to have become much taller.
Sun Xiaoyi, who was on the side, suddenly leaned into Gu Jiang's ear and muttered something.
Gu Jiang smiled and said, "Otherwise, ......?"
Yu Li really couldn't figure out the number of this young man's path, and asked slightly stunned, "Otherwise, what?"
Gu Jiang pointed to his barbecue stall and said, "Look at my business here, I can earn at least seventy or eighty spirit stones every day, otherwise you can discuss it with Hou Ye, if he really wants me to come, it is better to dig out these seventy, not eighty spirit stones." ”
The onlookers suddenly vomited blood, in Guanghua City, the banquet in Jingyuan Houfu has always been rushed in by others, and it is the first time that Gu Jiang has heard of this kind of person who charges an appearance fee.
Moreover, this barbecue stall earns up to fifty spirit stones per day.
The corners of Yu Li's mouth twitched constantly, and he wanted to open the barbecue stall on the spot several times, although he was the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, he felt the biggest insult in his life.
Remembering that the departure was the original words that Hou Ye had confessed, and that Gu Jiang would be invited no matter what, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and take a few long breaths.
Maybe Hou Ye meant to find Gu Jiang no matter what, but the current scene Hou Ye definitely didn't expect.
Swallowing a mouthful of old blood, Yu Li slowly reached out into his arms, and after a while, he took out a fire spirit stone with a bright red light and handed it to Gu Jiang, holding back his anger, gritting his teeth and saying, "Your income here, the Hou Mansion is out, and I hope that Little Brother Gu will come on time tomorrow night." ”
Gu Jiang was also a little displeased, looked at Yu Li and said, "I'm talking about eighty ......."
Sun Xiaoyi, who was on the side, hurriedly tugged at the corner of Gu Jiang's clothes and said, "This is a medium-grade fire spirit stone, a top hundred lower-grade spirit stones." ”
"Huh?" Gu Jiang suddenly realized, and quickly took the spirit stone, no wonder it seemed that the luster of this spirit stone was much stronger, and then he knew that there were still large amounts of money in this continent.
Yu Li really didn't know where Gu Jiang came out of the fool, he took the spirit stone and put it in his mouth and bit it twice, as if he was distinguishing the authenticity, he had finally completed the task of coming here, he was afraid that he would vomit blood and die if he stayed for a while, so he hurriedly turned around and left.
