Chapter 65: Gift-giving

"Okay, the old man agreed!" After thinking about it, Kong Li said with a smile.

Zhu Ziming hesitated: "What about this congratulatory gift?" ”

People are holding a wedding banquet, so they can't go empty-handed, besides, since they are going for Old Man Kong, they can't let themselves pay for it, Zhu Ziming thought in his heart.

Kong Li waved his hand: "The old man is willing to make an exception for you to accept apprentices, but you still don't have a congratulatory gift?" ”

Yan Yinli was speechless, saying that Brother Zhu is now a listed family with a lot of money, do you still care about this bit of silver?

What Kong Li said was really reasonable, Zhu Ziming had no choice, he glanced at the wing room out of the corner of his eye, and saw a purple vase placed on the bookcase, he had an idea, strode up, and took the purple vase in his hand: "Ming said that I will take this as a gift." ”

This vase is exquisite, only the size of a palm, painted with a pattern of purple flowers, but this vase is bought by the maids from the bazaar as the decoration of the various study rooms of the academy, only one or two silver, this Lord Ma is also a magistrate, you send this vase is not too cold?

Kong Li and Yan Yinli couldn't cry or laugh, this Zhu Ziming is really good at tossing people, if Master Ma sees this vase, he has to vomit a few taels of blood

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The moon is like a silver plate, the stars are dotted, in front of a mansion on the bustling street of Lingyun, the lanterns are hung high, the flow of people is endless, and the door is lively and extraordinary.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and the two guards stood on both sides, and there were several housekeepers and maids to welcome the guests who came in, these guests were carrying gifts in their hands, their eyes were smiling, and seeing that they were all wearing brocade clothes, it could be seen that they were all high-ranking officials.

I don't know which big family's happy event, so many people come to give gifts, but the people of Lingyun City know that this is the promotion banquet held by the new Ma County Order in Yuncheng, the so-called promotion banquet is the unwritten rule of Yan Kingdom, and if there is a new official in a certain place, they will feast local tyrants and wealthy businessmen, but these rich people will inevitably have to spend a lot of flattery.

This banquet of promotion full of copper smell, how could Sage Kong be willing to come, Zhu Ziming thought about it and walked to the gate of Nuoda's mansion, and the bright lantern was hung in front of the gate, shining brightly on the plaque engraved with the word Mafu.

"Brother Yan, have you ever been to this kind of banquet?" Zhu Zi turned around suddenly and saluted Yan Yin behind him.

Today, Yan Yinli also asked to follow, and now that Lingyun City is in danger, how can he rest assured that Zhu Ziming came alone, and shook his head: "I have studied martial arts in the Huoyun Sect since I was a child, and I have not been to this promotion banquet yet." ”

Zhu Ziming thought about it, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, when will you return to the Fire Cloud Sect, take me up the mountain to take a look." ”

Yan Yinli looked at him in a daze, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhu, I am only a disciple in the sect, and the sect talks about the level of martial arts, and only those with high martial arts have status, and my identity as a son of this world may not play a role." ”

Zhu Ziming was slightly disappointed, this Huoyun Sect was spread by the people of Lingyun City, the more this was the case, the more Zhu Ziming wanted to go up and take a look, but there were so many rules in this sect, and outsiders were not allowed to enter, but Yan Yinli had no right to speak, and it was really a little difficult for him to bring him in.

In Zhu Ziming's helplessness, Yan Yinli said: "But the master and his old man have recently returned to the sect, if you go to beg his old man, you may agree." ”

The Sect Master of the Fire Cloud Sect? A hint of brilliance flashed in Zhu Ziming's eyes, this is a legendary-level figure, he glanced at him enviously, grandma's, he is the son of the world, and he is the personal disciple of the sect master of the Huoyun Sect, he is really more popular than people.

Although Zhu Ziming is just a layman, he still has ideals and revenge, although the ideal is to marry a few more wives, which seems too shameless, but revenge is the ability to protect all the people around him.

Zhu Ziming has never complained about the sky, and now only by working harder to climb up can he have a place in Lingyun City and even the entire Yan Kingdom.

"Then when are you going to go back to the Fire Cloud Sect and bring me with you?" Zhu Ziming said with a smile.

This Brother Zhu is really stubborn, Yan Yinli muttered: "Maybe I will go back on the first day of next month." ”

On the first day of the new year, today is the fifteenth, isn't it half a month, Zhu Ziming thought for a while and said: "Why don't I wait for me to go to the poetry club in Yancheng, let's go to the Huoyun Sect together." ”

Yancheng Poetry Club? Yan Yinli looked at him in astonishment: "Could it be that person also invited you?" ”

The man? Zhu Zi wondered: "Who is that person?" ”

Yan Yinli smiled mysteriously: "You will know then, but he has never participated in the poetry meeting, but he is just the shopkeeper behind him, and I don't know if he will show up this time." ”

Zhu Ziming shook his head, no matter who he was, he was planning to go on a trip to the mountains and rivers, not to participate in any poetry competition.

"Brother Yan, let's go in," the two chatted a few words outside the door, at this time most of the guests in the Ma Mansion had already entered, and there were only a few people outside the door at the moment.

Yan Yinli nodded and followed Zhu Ziming in.

When they walked to this gate, the two guards in the house stretched out their hands: "Please also ask the two sons to show the invitation." ”

Zhu Ziming took out the invitation card from his arms and handed it to the nursing home, and the nursing home saw the name written on the invitation - Kong Li, isn't this Mr. Kong, but looking at the age of the two people in front of him, it is okay to be Mr. Kong's grandson.

The nurse frowned: "Dare to ask the two sons, why didn't Mr. Kong come." ”

Zhu Ziming smiled: "The teacher is ill and can't come, so let our two disciples come here to congratulate Master Ma on his promotion." ”

"You are Mr. Kong's disciples?" Another nurse was stunned and said, "Doesn't Mr. Kong never accept disciples?" ”

It seems that Sage Kong is really famous, even this little nursing home knows Kong Li's rules - not being a teacher.

Yan Yinli smiled faintly and said: "Brother Tai, you are wrong, we are the registered disciples of the teacher, and we have not really started yet, and we have to wait for the teacher to test it." ”

The registered disciple was stunned for a moment, and his heart was a little unhappy, this Confucian saint really didn't know what to do, the adult valued him so much, he didn't come, he actually sent two registered disciples to come, and he really didn't give the adult face.

I was angry, but the people had already come, and today was also a wedding banquet for adults, and the two nurses turned their faces coldly: "You guys go in." ”

Zhu Ziming handed over the congratulatory gift in his hand to a family member, so he and Yan Yinli swaggered in.
