Chapter 45: The Birthday Banquet (4)
"Why are you still gathered here?" Li Heng suddenly said at this time.
Li Heng is the head of the four great families, and when he speaks at this time, the other small families understand that they are angry with Li Qinghe, and they have nowhere to go, so they have to find trouble with them.
"What the prime minister said is, I'll wait until now to pay homage to the city lord. "A group of people followed behind, but there was a bit of blockage in their hearts, it was not good to watch the excitement, there were really a lot of tubes, small belly chicken intestines, and General Gu just couldn't compare.
Li Heng didn't say anything more, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, followed by a group of people.
Every year today, each family will come to the city lord's mansion with a birthday gift, dedicated to the city lord, and then you can participate in the banquet, there are some entertainment activities every year, in different forms, if you are lucky, you can also get some elixir, spiritual law.
At this time, Ye Xiang was already sitting in the main hall, waiting for the families to come and offer treasures. Ye Xiang is about the same age as Gu Zhentian, he has reached the early stage of the immortal rank, and he can be regarded as a master. On the surface, he is a righteous gentleman, but secretly he colludes with Li Heng and wants to get rid of Gu Fu. Over the years, Li Heng has not knocked on the side once, saying that Gu Zhentian intends to rebel, at the beginning Ye Xiang was also suspicious and did not take it too seriously, while Li Heng spared no effort on this matter, did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, invited a bunch of ordinary people, and spread the matter of Gu Zhentian secretly raising troops in the night city. In addition, this Gu Zhentian has worked hard all his life, calming down a lot of demonic turmoil, and gradually, his status as the city lord is not as high as this Dingbei Hou, which makes Ye Xiang how to bear it.
"Yanrong family, a bead grass. ”
"Wantian Family, a medium-grade rain and dew pill. ”
"Zhang Ping's family, a century-old Ganoderma lucidum. The deacon of the Governor's House reports below.
Some small families are afraid that they will come too late, and they will come behind the four great families, and then come to offer birthday gifts, it is inevitable that there will be some comparisons, so they simply came early in the morning and waited for a long time at the gate of the city lord's mansion, just to come in early.
And Ye Xiang, who was sitting on the main seat, didn't even blink his eyes, and there were already countless of these things in his treasury.
"Gu family, a top-grade secret sticker. The deacon was noticeably louder when he reported here.
"The city lord has a big birthday, and I, Li Qinghe, specially brought my little daughter to pay my respects. Li Qinghe took Gu Moxi to the front of the hall, and since Bai He was just a slave, he waited at the door for the time being.
Ye Xiang immediately put on a smiling face, "Brother and sister, sit down." Someone came, and he didn't take his younger siblings to the seat. ”
"Don't bother the city lord. Li Qinghe's eyes were calm, and he didn't grovel at all like those family heads just now.
"How is this a bone? I haven't seen Mo Xi for a year, and I've become a big girl, and I'm getting more and more beautiful. ”
Hearing this, Gu Moxi rolled her eyes unconsciously, she was wearing a veil, he could see that she had become beautiful, wasn't he teasing her? He wouldn't not know that he was called the first ugly girl in Night City, right? This was deliberately mocking her.
"Naturally, my Li Qinghe's daughter is no one can compare!" Li Qinghe is not modest at all. In her current opinion, her daughter is indeed incomparable and excellent.
"What's wrong with Mrs. Gu today, I didn't say a word when I mentioned Gu Moxi in the past. "There is something strange about the heads of the family sitting below.
"Who knows. ”
"This Gu family can only rely on Gu Zhentian and this Li Qinghe to support the scene. Xi Yuanhe smiled.
"Hahaha, maybe I'm afraid that my daughter will be hit again and become a fool. The children of the family standing on the side continued, this Gu Moxi has always been abnormal. I don't talk about pretending to be scary.,I rarely speak.,I don't like to deal with people.。 Compared with Li Wanru, it is a heaven and an underground, and there is no comparison at all.
"I think Xi/the head of the family, there are a lot of words today. Li Qinghe pointed his finger. is talking about Xi Yuanhe next to the child of the family, this old man and this Li Heng are all the way, and they have coveted the position of the four great families of Gu Mansion for a long time.
"How dare you. Xi Yuanhe immediately coaxed down.
"There is no best, don't say the wrong thing and lose your life!" Li Qinghe poured a glass of wine and drank it all.
Gu Moxi on the side opened her eyes wide, her mother is too handsome!
And Xi Yuanhe's heart trembled violently, today this Li Qinghe is so arrogant, he simply doesn't look at the wild city lord in his eyes, the city lord has a big birthday, how can she be allowed to be like this!
"I don't dare. Xi Yuanhe didn't dare to say more, although the Gu Mansion was not as good as before, but this Li Qinghe's strength was not bad. Just at her temper, if she is really unhappy, it is not impossible to kill him.
"Why are my brothers and sisters so angry, I think Brother Xi is also unintentional. Yexiang became a peacemaker again, the more people Li Qinghe offended, the better, and the final result was self-destruction.
"Mother, I didn't mean to see that head of the house. Gu Moxi suddenly spoke, and looked at Li Qinghe with a pair of simple big eyes.
"Naturally, it wasn't intentional. Xi Yuanhe immediately picked up, and he really blamed him for his old mouth, what nonsense, can't you put it in your stomach?
"This head of the family may have suffered from a brain disease and can't control his mouth. Hearing what Gu Moxi said next, Xi Yuanhe's face immediately darkened, how could this waste, who has never spoken, seem to be a different person today!
"The Yun family master, the Li family master has arrived. The guards outside the door reported.
"Yun Mansion, one top-grade Lingyun Dan, Li Mansion, one top-grade Yundan. The deacon followed.
I saw this Li Heng and Yun Yiqing coming in together, followed by a group of children, the most conspicuous were Li Wanru and Yun Rong, both of whom were wearing clothes of the same color, and everyone present looked at Gu Moxi, but Gu Moxi didn't raise his eyes at all, and stuffed snacks into the veil one by one.
"The two heads of the house, please take a seat. Ye Xiang's eyes were so smiling that he couldn't see, this year's birthday gift was really precious, and he received three mortal pills at once.
"Thank you, City Lord. The group said at the same time.
"The master of the Lin family has arrived, and there is a top-grade Ten Thousand Injuries Pill!"
At this time, two more figures appeared outside the hall, and a middle-aged man approached with a woman who was less than a year old. Lin Quan brought the little girl Lin Shuangshuang to celebrate her birthday. ”
Lin Quan is the youngest of the four great family heads, only twenty-two in his thirties this year, but he is also an immortal master, when he was young, he was a very famous beautiful man in this night city, even if he is middle-aged, he still can't hide his appearance. And Lin Shuangshuang next to him obviously inherited Lin Quan's good genes, although he is not very old, he is also a beautiful woman, and his dress is extremely pink, which also attracts the eyes of some disciples of the family.
"Brother Lin is also here, please take a seat. ”
"Thank you, City Lord. ”
Lin Quan has always disliked competition, so the Lin family ranks fourth in the family, and Yexiang doesn't pay too much attention to it.
"It's all here today, just gather together as a group of old bones. I held a feast for these young men in the side hall, and this year, unlike in previous years, I bought many exotic flowers from other towns. Ye Xiang smiled.
Every Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiang will hold a flower viewing party, and it has never been left behind.
Li Qinghe sneered, lowered his head and said to Gu Moxi: "Don't eat the safflower cake in the side hall later." ”
"Why?" Why can't you eat the dim sum, Gu Moxi suddenly felt a little strange.
"There are quirks. Li Qinghe didn't explain too much.
Soon, another deacon led the children of various families to the side hall, Gu Moxi didn't have time to ask more, so he had to follow at the end, and when he walked to the door, he beckoned to Bai He and motioned to follow. Li Wanru in front also glanced back at Bai Lotus and made a look.
"Look, Miss. ”
"I know. Gu Moxi naturally noticed Li Wanru's movements.
Bai He understood and nodded to Li Wanru.
The side hall is not far from the main hall, but it will arrive in a moment, the hall is full of colorful strange flowers and plants, and there are bursts of fragrance in the air, most of them are some medicinal flowers that calm the mind, and there are also some rare spiritual grasses, which can gather spiritual energy, which is very good for cultivation. For example, the Lingsu grass in the Gu Mansion is the lowest level of the spiritual grass, and the price is cheap, so all families buy it in large quantities and plant it in the mansion, although the effect is not obvious, but it is also somewhat useful. And this side hall is different, these are Yexiang for many years from everywhere to spend a lot of money to buy, are rare spirit grass, although the flower viewing party is held every year, no one feels bored, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, maybe you can make a certain breakthrough maybe. Every Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiang will invite some spiritual chefs to make some spiritual power pastries, and eat them to increase some spiritual power, so it is worth spending some money to buy some gifts to come to pay homage, not only to increase some vision, but also to accumulate some spiritual power.
Gu Moxi had already entered this side hall and felt the sufficient power of the water spirit, only to feel that a large amount of spiritual power poured into the body, even the spirit spring seedlings in the spiritual sea shook the leaves happily, Gu Moxi was a little disappointed, although these spirit grass attributes are different, Ye Xiang collected it is also complete, but there is no ice spirit grass. The cultivation of multiple spiritual veins is already difficult, she is now a pseudo-tertiary spiritual vein, she has not cultivated the demon spirit, and the demon spirit is also safe during this time, which has not hindered her cultivation in the slightest. Although it is also something to be happy about, it also means that her future cultivation path will become more and more difficult, and she does not want to specialize in cultivating a series of spiritual powers as described in the book. Gu Moxi believes that as long as he persists, he will be able to succeed!
"Bai He, this is delicious, you try it. Gu Moxi said inarticulately, the pastries in this City Lord's Mansion are really delicious.
Bai He was a little embarrassed, if he hadn't been wearing a veil and getting in the way, I'm afraid this plate of pastries would have been eaten by Miss Pastry a long time ago.
"Moxi, I have something to say to you. Li Wanru originally came in with Yun Rong, but for the sake of planning, she had to leave.
Yun Rong was also a little strange when he saw Li Wanru walking towards Gu Moxi, but he didn't want to care. This Gu Moxi is a sick brain in his eyes, every time he dresses up like that, he doesn't say anything, and asks Wanru about him, but he doesn't know what his intentions are, he really doesn't have any self-knowledge at all. Last time in Linlang Pavilion, he dared to humiliate Wanru and him like that, and I don't know why Wanru still went to find this waste.
