Chapter 194: The Wonderful Family Banquet (I)
In the evening of the next day, there was a knock on the door of Miao Junfeng's room.
"Please come in."
"Master, all the old things have been cleaned up, the ones that should be kept have been cleaned, the big hole in the courtyard has been filled, and the dinner party is being prepared in an orderly manner."
"Xiaolan has worked hard, at the beginning of the dinner, you all the drinks and food are all at once. After that, all the maids and servants withdrew. No one is allowed to enter the ballroom without my orders. ”
"Wow. If the head of the house has nothing else to do, I will step back first. ”
"Okay, when the first guest comes, you can come and see me again."
"Whoa."
Xiaolan respectfully exited the room, she felt that Miao Junfeng had changed, she had become very strange, and she had become intimidated and frightened.
"Ril!"
With the first sound of horses, the guests who were invited by Miao Junfeng arrived one after another.
Every guest who arrived did not lead into the house, but stood in one; Chatting, as if waiting for someone.
Ma Ming was also in the crowd at this time, he didn't join the discussion, but stood aside honestly, looking quite unusual.
"Father, why don't you come in?" Ma Juan walked out of the house.
"Juan'er, why did you come out? Aren't you going to help? "Ma Ming knows that once there is a big banquet in the clan, the hostess of the mansion will be commanded on the spot.
"Father, come with me, I have something to say to you." Ma Juan also realized her father's difficulty, so she pulled him towards the place where his carriage stopped.
"Juan'er, what's wrong with you? Did Miaowen bully you? If he dares to bully you, I'll settle accounts with him right away!" ”
"It's not. It's the Miao family that has changed. Today's head of the family is Miao Junfeng, no longer Miao Rong. He is a tough hawk and is no longer a docile dove like Myon Young.
Just yesterday he had ordered that all the women in the family should not interfere in the affairs of the Miao family. Although Miaoru is still in the position of elder, the power in her hands has been weakened a lot.
I came out to say to you, this is not the same as in the past, father, you can no longer follow the rules and listen to grandpa. Otherwise, we don't have to wait for grandpa to return, and our Ma family is already finished. ”
"Hey! I didn't know it was too late! Now I can only take one step at a time. I knew that he would soar into the sky, I shouldn't have broken the contract in the first place and married you to Miaowen. ”
"Father, that's all for later. We just need to be who we are.
You see, Feng Hai's convoy is here, and I have to go back first. If the head of the house knows that I have come out to meet you, he will punish me. ”
Looking at the back of his daughter leaving in a panic, Ma Ming's heart was filled with bitterness. He regretted it, but he also knew that there was no regret medicine in this world.
"Lil..."
Feng Hai walked out of the carriage, and before he got off the car, he smiled at the heads of the family under the car and said, "Let you wait for a long time, Feng Mou has been delayed due to something, please Haihan!" ”
"Words are heavy, words are heavy."
"Master Feng, it's too polite, your noble family is busy, we can understand."
"If you don't come, we'll be like dragons without a leader! Aren't you the last one to appear? ”
There was a sound of whiskers slapping horses, and Feng Hai's heart was very comfortable when he heard that voice.
"Huh? Didn't the head of the Song family come? The corners of Feng Hai's mouth raised an imperceptible arc.
"Lao Song said that he was unwell, so he didn't come. Let's say hello on our behalf. One of them, who had a good relationship with the head of the Song family, replied.
"Oh! I see. When the banquet is over, I must go and see him.
Let's go, let's go inside! Can't keep the host waiting! ”
Surrounded by everyone, Feng Hai took the lead and walked into the door of the Miao family.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Miao family, in addition to the Song family, the patriarchs of large and small families within a radius of thousands of miles gathered.
There were a total of eleven patriarchs led by Feng Hai, and they entered the banquet hall in an orderly manner according to their respective ranks.
The ballroom has a total of thirteen tables, one on the main seat and six on each side of the hall.
Miao Junfeng sat on the main seat early, leaning slightly, holding his chin with his hands, waiting for the self-righteous heads of the family to enter.
The sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" sounded, and the heads of the family sat down in turn. The closest to Miao Junfeng was Feng Hai, and the farthest was the patriarch of the Peng family, whom he rarely met.
"Huh? Hasn't the patriarch of the Song family come yet? Are we going to have to wait for him a little longer? Miao Junfeng asked, but his eyes were looking at Feng Hai.
"No need, Lao Song asked me to bring a word. He was sick and stopped coming. "The one who spoke was the head of the family surnamed Wang, who had a good relationship with the Song family.
"Oh! Then our feast will begin. Someone's coming! Serve food and drink. Miao Junfeng sat upright, clapped his hands, and shouted loudly.
"Wait! Are you Miao family also underestimating us? Even if Miao Rong is not lightly ill, let's send someone with status to sit here and entertain us!
Let a junior sit here and be on an equal footing with us, is it looking down on all of us? ”
Miao Junfeng replied with a cold smile: "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell all the family masters here." Since yesterday, I have been the head of the fourteenth generation of the Miao family.
I am entertaining you today as the head of the family, and I do not mean to look down on you. But if you look down on me, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
The Miao family has been gentle for too long, and many people have forgotten the glorious days of the Miao family.
Therefore, I ask everyone here to enjoy the happy time of the banquet, and not to be used as a gun without a head.
I have a bad habit of picking up the gun, swiping it in the middle, and making it fold in two. ”
Feng Hai wanted to have a seizure, but he endured it. Now is not the time, if you really have a seizure, wouldn't it be just right for Miao Junfeng to settle down and let those wall grasses sit and watch the show?
"Those who are disrespectful and disrespectful, and those who do not know are not guilty. Then the head of the Lao Miao family will serve us the food! Feng Hai laughed and snorted, but he still took advantage of his mouth.
"Someone! Serve! Don't bring the one prepared for the head of the Song family, I'll keep it for supper at night. Miao Junfeng glanced at Feng Hai and didn't bother with him.
Xiaolan had already arranged Miao Junfeng's orders. When all the food and drink had been served, all the maids and servants left the room softly, leaving only the twelve people present in the hall.
"Master Miao, what do you mean? Shall we pour ourselves a drink? Wang Youcai spoke, he was very dissatisfied, but he admired the maid who was standing beside him just now.
"There are so many people! Isn't it just right to take them down and talk about something big that only we can talk about?
Self-pours are actually pretty good, but you can't experience it even if you want to!
Come on, please raise your glass, and after a glass, our feast can officially begin. ”
Miao Junfeng poured himself a glass of wine, held it high, and swept his gaze over everyone's faces.
He was waiting, waiting for who would make him the first to go under the knife.
