Chapter 874: It doesn't matter who you are
The arrival of Meng Xingde and his entourage not only did not attract Xuan Yan's personal greeting, but even the local figures with heads and faces in Lingtai County seemed to have disappeared collectively, and they did not come to greet them.
Meng Xingde, who is an official and is still on an errand in Jincheng, the capital of Gan Province, came to such a small place as Lingtai County, and the local officials should definitely not be so indifferent if they greeted each other.
What's more, among their group, there are also two existences, He Lao and Huang Lao.
Although these two old men have retired, they are also well-known figures in the entire Gan Province.
However, even a group of them didn't seem to receive the slightest attention in Lingtai County, which made Meng Xinxin's mother's face surprisingly ugly.
"Hmph, Lingtai County, it's really a poor and remote country, are the people here so rude?" Meng Xinxin's mother snorted coldly and said unhappily.
"What is rude, don't talk nonsense. When He Lao heard Meng Xinxin's mother's words, he couldn't help but scold.
"Dad, I'm not wrong, you always came to Lingtai County, and no one answered, if this matter spreads, it will damage your prestige too much. Meng Xinxin's mother said coquettishly.
"How can I have any prestige? I've just been a servant of the people for a few years, and this time, I'm just here to attend Master's wedding, and I'm not old enough to move, so I don't need someone to pick me up, so we can just take a taxi ourselves." He Lao said indifferently, he has been honest all his life, and he doesn't pay so much attention to what kind of pomp and face.
No one came to greet him, and he was still happy.
Of course, he didn't think that Xuan Yan would come to greet them in person, like Meng Xinxin's mother, after all, he knew his identity, he was Xuan Yan's apprentice, how could there be a reason for the master to go out to greet the apprentice?
"Hmph, the people in Lingtai County obviously don't take us seriously, it's just too much of a deception!" Meng Xinxin's mother still said angrily.
Huang Lao suddenly turned his head to look at Meng Xinxin's mother in confusion, and he asked, "Don't you know what we're here for?"
"Attend Xuanyan's so-called wedding, Uncle Huang, how could I not know this. Meng Xinxin's mother's attitude was a little more restrained, and she said to Huang Lao respectfully.
"If we know, we should understand why no one came to pick us up. Huang Lao said without the slightest hint of joy and anger.
"Uncle Huang, what do you mean, why is it that when Xiaoyan gets married, there will definitely be no one to receive us?" Meng Xingde couldn't help but ask, although he was not as angry as his wife, but he was also a little dissatisfied with Xuanyan in his heart.
It's reasonable not to greet their family of three, but even He Lao and Huang Lao don't greet them, is Xuan Yan a little forgetful?
Meng Xingde can also understand that Xuanyan's wedding is approaching, and he is afraid that he is busy and has no way to come to greet him in person, but at least he should send someone to show a little attention to their group, right?
"Of course not. Huang Lao looked at Meng Xingde and Meng Xinxin's mother like an idiot.
"Uncle Huang, don't sell it, why are you so sure, no one must come to receive us?" Sensing the meaning in Huang Lao's eyes, Meng Xingde smiled bitterly and asked.
"Because we're just small people, they have too many big people to receive, and they can't take our turn at all. Huang Lao seemed to know something, and he said as a matter of course.
"Little people, if my dad and Uncle Huang are both little people, then aren't we even as good as ants? Uncle Huang, I know that you and my dad are open-minded and don't care so much about these things, but I just think that Xuan Yan is too rude. Meng Xinxin's mother still insisted on her own opinion.
"Xuan Yan is rude?" Huang Lao was startled when he heard Meng Xinxin's mother's words, he quickly looked around, and only after seeing that no one noticed their group, he was slightly relieved.
"Big niece, no matter what you thought of Xuan Yan before, I advise you, don't talk nonsense here. Huang Lao's expression was slightly cold, and he said to Meng Xinxin's mother.
"Why, I can't say that Xuan Yan is not in Lingtai County, is he the soil emperor of Lingtai County?" Meng Xinxin's mother said unconvinced, not only did she not listen to Huang Lao's advice, but instead ridiculed Xuan Yan even more.
"You-" Huang Lao was just about to open his mouth to reprimand, when suddenly a crisp sound came from his ears, and an extremely loud slap was actually slapped on Meng Xinxin's mother's cheek without everyone noticing.
Meng Xinxin's mother was stunned, Meng Xingde was stunned, and even He Lao and Huang Lao were taken aback.
"Who, who dares to hit me?" Meng Xinxin's mother was inexplicably slapped in public, and she was immediately ashamed and indignant.
"Although you are a guest who has come to attend the wedding of the Divine Lord, if you dare to speak disrespectfully to the Divine Lord, be careful of your dog's life!" An extremely cold voice came, and what appeared in front of Meng Xingde and his party was a young man with black hair.
The young man's eyes flashed with a strange and bright light, and at a glance, he knew that the cultivation of the Poison Sect was good, and it was a passing Poison Sect disciple!
Although the Poison Sect is also attached to Xuanyan, most of the disciples of the Poison Sect are still relatively extreme, in fact, the disciples of the Chinese Medical Hall, the Gu Sect and the Wu Sect are not bad, they are all characters who can take people's lives at will if they disagree.
And this poisonous disciple obviously had a lot of respect for Xuan Yan, so after hearing Meng Xinxin's mother's words that he was neither yin nor yang, he couldn't help but slap him.
"You-you dare to beat me? Do you know who I am? Believe it or not, if I say a word, you won't be able to get out of this Gan Province!" Meng Xinxin's mother was almost crazy by this slap, and she glared at the young man in front of her viciously and said.
The young man didn't pay any attention to Meng Xinxin's mother's threat, he followed Xuanyan's example, and said lightly: "Who do I care who you are? If you dare to offend the gods, I will want your life!"
"You-" Hearing that the other party was so arrogant, Meng Xinxin's mother was about to go crazy, she turned her head to look at Meng Xingde and He Lao, and said, "I want him to die!"
Regarding Meng Xinxin's mother's unreasonable trouble, Meng Xingde and He Lao could only smile helplessly, but Meng Xinxin's mother was beaten, and they really couldn't help but keep quiet.
"Little brother's temper is too rushed, right? I admit that Uchiko may be a little reckless when he speaks, but you hit someone for no reason, and this matter is also unreasonable. Meng Xingde stood up helplessly and said euphemistically, "Little brother, it's better to apologize, we are all here to attend Xiaoyan's wedding, we should be like-minded, there is no need to tear your face." ”
"Apologize, who apologized to whom? Master Ye, I didn't pay attention to this meeting, why did you come here?" As soon as Meng Xingde's words fell, he saw a middle-aged man running over, and his eyes were full of respect when he looked at the young man.
