Chapter 4 The Lu family's celebration banquet
Although there are many traffic devices in the capital, they are in good order. Fu Xin and Lu Jiayao were soon sent to the hotel by Master Wang.
Master Wang neatly helped them complete the verification and check into the room, and said before leaving: "Today, the hotel has been chartered by the Lu family, and it is specially designed to receive you young masters and young ladies who came from other places to participate in the celebration banquet. Moreover, the main residence of the Lu family is not far from the hotel, and the celebration banquet will be held in the main house tomorrow. Someone will pick you up at 10 a.m. ”
"Is there anything I should pay attention to when attending the celebration banquet?" Lu Jiayao hurriedly asked.
"Uh...... Probably not, just like a regular banquet, but there is no dress code. After all, you're still kids, so it's good to be comfortable. Master Wang scratched his head and smiled innocently: "By the way, in addition to the Lu family, there will be many outsiders present, this is a good opportunity for you to make friends." ”
"Okay, thank you, Master Wang~" After hearing this, Lu Jiayao thanked him with a smile.
"Then I'll go first. Hope the ladies have a great day! After speaking, Master Wang bowed slightly and left the room.
"Fu Xin, did you hear that? In addition to the people in the clan, there are outsiders coming tomorrow, I don't know who they are? I'm guessing there must be a lot of young talent. Seeing Master Wang leave, Lu Jiayao turned around and shook Fu Xin's arm and said.
"I just wanted not to be underestimated by the people of the main family, but now it seems that there is still a chance to meet Prince Charming. Then I'm going to have to dress up even more! As she spoke, she walked to the suitcase and opened the suitcase, picked up her clothes seriously, and beckoned Fu Xin to come over to help with the reference.
Fu Xin walked to Lu Jiayao's side with tears and laughter, and resigned himself to helping his little friends to prepare for tomorrow's celebration banquet together.
The next day, as soon as the sun climbed the branches, Fu Xin was woken up by Lu Jiayao, saying that he wanted to dress up.
Fu Xin decisively buried himself in the quilt and responded to Lu Jiayao with actions.
In Lu Jiayao's tireless troublemaking, Fu Xin finally bowed to the wind and sat up from the bed helplessly: "Didn't Master Wang say that for ordinary banquets, it's good to dress comfortably." Is it necessary for you to get up so early to get dressed! ”
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Jiayao pulled her to the bathroom, nagging as she went: "It's just ordinary that it is more necessary to dress up." If you think about it, it is very difficult to wear ordinary clothes and makeup that you can't see at all, but you have to make people pay attention at a glance, so of course you have to prepare well. ”
In this regard, Fu Xin was very speechless, and complained in his heart: We are going to participate in the celebration banquet, not to go on a blind date. But looking at Lu Jiayao's elated appearance, let's be happy with her.
The two of them groomed, dressed, eaten, and put on makeup, and after a set of processes, it was already more than 9 o'clock. They thought about it and decided to go to the hotel lobby first.
When they arrived in the lobby, they found that there were already several people who looked about their size sitting and chatting. Remembering that Master Wang said yesterday that the hotel had been chartered by the Lu family, Fu Xin thought that they were also the Lu family who came to participate in the celebration banquet.
Lu Jiayao obviously thought of it too, and happily pulled Fu Xin towards them.
"Hello! May I ask you, too, for the celebration of the clan? Lu Jiayao asked generously after walking over. Fu Xin swept at a glance, a total of seven people, four men and three women.
"Yes." I saw a boy sitting in the middle stand up, he was wearing a shirt, jeans, and black-rimmed glasses, and he looked like Sven. "Hello! My name is Lu Jiaqiang and I am from Bingcheng. ”
Then he pointed to the boy on his left who looked a little fat: "This is Xu Yihua from Bingcheng with me, and his mother is also from the Lu family." Then he pointed to the delicate girl in a green dress on his right: "This is Lu Jiaxi from the border city." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the far left of the seat, and continued: "The first person on the left is Lu Jiaying from Xia City, and next to her is Zhao Zixin, who came with her, and she is the target of the Lu family's funding. Fu Xin followed his introduction and looked over, Lu Jia was wearing a ponytail, glasses, and a shirt and jeans, looking a little serious; Zhao Zixin is a cute looking girl.
Finally, he pointed to the far right of the seat: "The first one on the right is Lu Ruiyang from Tucheng, he can be regarded as our nephew, and next to him is Yin Xu, who is also from Tucheng and is also the target of the Lu family's funding." Fu Xin looked at the last two, Lu Ruiyang had a baby face and was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, he really looked like a child in middle school; Yin Xu looks ordinary, but he looks very honest.
After all the introductions, Lu Jiaqiang looked at the two girls in front of him and smiled gently: "What about you? Tell us about yourself. ”
"My name is Lu Jiayao, and I'm from Shuicheng." After Lu Jiayao finished answering, he pointed to Fu Xin and said, "Her name is Fu Xin, she is from Shuicheng with me, and her mother is my cousin." ”
Hearing Fu Xin's surname Fu, Lu Jiaqiang's eyes flashed, and then he said to everyone with a smile: "Since we can gather here, it means that we are all a family, whether we will participate in the celebration banquet later, or go to the academy in the future, everyone must support each other." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Fu Xin didn't miss the flash of light in Lu Jiaqiang's eyes, and was secretly surprised in his heart. However, looking at his style: he has an understanding of the major families and a faint attitude of being a leader in the group, it is estimated that he has at least a high status in the side branch of the Lu family, probably a utilitarian person. Fu Xin muttered in his heart, but did not show it.
"Are we all here? Let's go. Lu Jiaying looked at the electronic clock in the hotel lobby and asked.
"As far as I know, there should be 10 students who came to the celebration banquet this time, and we are only 9 people now, so let's wait a little longer. What's more, the reception staff of the main house has not yet arrived. Lu Jiaqiang replied soothingly.
At 10 o'clock, a boy came down from the elevator, wearing a black T-shirt and black pants, looking slender from a distance. He walked quickly to everyone, and the corners of his mouth curled: "I shouldn't be late." Hello everyone! I'm Yao Jingyu. ”
Fu Xin looked at his face and felt a little familiar, and before she could think about it, the reception staff of the main house came and took everyone to board the land walker together.
"Don't you think that Yao Jingyu is a little familiar?" On the land walker, Lu Jiayao whispered next to Fu Xin.
"Hmm!" Fu Xin nodded, and secretly looked at Yao Jingyu again, just in time to meet Yao Jingyu's gaze at him. She was slightly embarrassed, and was about to retract her gaze, when she saw that the other party made a "little waste wood" mouth shape, and immediately remembered that this Yao Jingyu was the one who introduced the additional score system to herself in the admissions test and said that she was a congenital waste firewood.
Fu Xin glared at him fiercely, turned his head and continued to chat with Lu Jiayao.
Yao Jingyu looked at Fu Xin's expression, picked the corners of her mouth, sneered, and looked out the window boredly.
When he was about to arrive at his destination, the receptionist cleared his throat and said, "After arriving at the main mansion, the young masters and young ladies will go with me to meet the patriarch first." Then the celebration banquet officially began at 12 o'clock. ”
In the study of the patriarch of the Lu family's main house, Old Man Lu was talking with his most outstanding granddaughter Lu Jiaqi.
"I looked at the enrollment list of the Tu Tu Academy this time, but I didn't expect that the one who came out on top was an acquired bloodline." Although he said so, there was no surprise in Old Man Lu's tone.
"Yes, Grandpa. After the admissions test, I investigated Xie Cheng and found that he used to be a double-A talent, and later his mental power broke through to S-level. So I thought, maybe I can make a breakthrough too. Lu Jiaqi said respectfully.
"Well, take your time and don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm glad you're tied with Fu Chunlin and Wynne Watt this time. Compared with the occasional protruding acquired bloodline, maintaining the status of the innate bloodline is the most important, you know? ”
Lu Jiaqi nodded and responded: "Yes, grandpa." ”
"Only 12 members of our Lu family were selected for this enrollment, which also includes the Lu family's foreign family and sponsoring family. I've asked Lao Li to sort out the list and abilities, you see, is there anything worth reusing. As he spoke, Old Man Lu called up the virtual screen.
Lu Jiaqi carefully read all the information, "I think the qualifications of this batch of students are relatively ordinary, and I can't see anything for the time being, so let's wait for the development in the future." ”
Old Man Lu nodded: "It's okay." ”
"It's a pity that this Fu Xin actually has S-level bloodline genes, but it is E-level spiritual power. Also, her surname is Fu, is it related to the Fu family? It can be seen that Lu Jiaqi is quite concerned about Fu Xin.
"That's right, her father is Fu Jinyang, and he also had a talent praised by everyone at the beginning, but unfortunately he left early. I thought that she also died in the explosion with her parents, but I didn't expect that she was taken to Shuicheng by her grandmother to raise her, it seems that the Fu family already knew about her mental power problem, otherwise how would she give up an S-level genius with bloodline genes. When it came to Fu Xin's father and daughter, Old Man Lu also felt a little regretful, "Hey~ That's it for her, you don't have to pay too much attention." ”
"Yes, Grandpa!" After listening to Old Man Lu's words, Lu Jiaqi exhaled softly, and involuntarily felt a burst of relaxation.
"Since there is nothing special about this group of students, you should not bother with it. To receive the guests of this celebration banquet well, Master Adeline, the vice president of the Tu Puller Association, will come, Master Yao of the Spiritual Power Research Department will also come, and the Fu family's Chunlin Kid and Xie Family's kid will come. After Old Man Lu understood his granddaughter's thoughts, he began to make arrangements.
"I'll receive it, grandpa, please rest assured!" Regarding Grandpa's arrangement, Lu Jiaqi happily accepted, "Then I'll go back and prepare first." ”
Seeing that Old Man Lu waved his hand, Lu Jiaqi pushed the door and walked out.
The Lu Xing device carrying Fu Xin and others stopped on the lawn in front of the Lu family's main house, and the students who participated in the celebration banquet rushed out.
The palace-scale complex obviously shocked the friends who came from other places, and everyone stood in front of the main mansion and discussed excitedly.
"Young masters and young ladies, please come with me." With the words of the reception staff, everyone stopped the heated discussion and followed the reception staff into the main house.
This was the first time Fu Xin had seen such a large residence, and she suddenly felt that she vaguely understood the status and significance of the Innate Family.
Walking through the courtyard and through the corridor, you will see a lawn, behind which is a two-story banquet hall, where the receptionist tells everyone that this is where the celebration banquet will be held.
After speaking, he led everyone to the villa group in the east, and finally stopped at the door of a rather classical villa: "The patriarch is in the living room, and the young masters and young ladies will see it when they go in." After speaking, he made a gesture of please.
Fu Xin walked into the living room with everyone, and saw a white-haired grandfather sitting in the middle of the sofa in the living room, with a slightly chubby figure, a kind face, clear eyes, and looking at everyone with a smile: "Hello everyone! Presumably everyone also knows who I am, I am Lu Faji, the contemporary patriarch of the Lu family. I am very happy to welcome you children who have won glory for the Lu clan on the occasion of the opening of the annual Tu Academy. But enrolling in school is only the first step, and I hope that you will be able to make steady progress and climb the peak forever on the road ahead. Remember, the Lu family will always be your strong backing. ”
After an impassioned presentation, Old Man Lu moistened his throat and instructed: "All of you here are the children of the Lu family, and I hope you will remember to help each other on the road in the future, make progress together, and lead our Lu family to a higher level." ”
"Good!" Under the leadership of Lu Jiaqiang, everyone applauded and saluted.
Old Man Lu showed a kind smile and said to everyone, "Okay." I believe in you! Then let's go to the front yard and get ready for a banquet. Then he ordered the servant to take everyone to the banquet hall in the front yard.
Behind everyone, Lu Jiayao pulled Fu Xin and quietly bit his ears: "I think Grandpa Lu is very good." ”
Fu Xin nodded perfunctorily, but wondered in his heart: During the previous admissions test, I heard that Lu Jiaqi was the leader of the Lu family's generation, but Old Man Lu didn't introduce her to everyone, shouldn't he take this opportunity to win over feelings? And if you don't get acquainted with Lu Jiaqi, how can you contact the Lu family if you have difficulties in the future, can you go directly to the door? This Grandpa Lu looked kind and kind, and his words touched people's hearts, but they didn't have any real effect. Forget it, anyway, I don't expect any resources from the Lu family in the future.
On the lawn of the Lu family's main house, as soon as Xie Cheng walked out of the land walker, he saw Fu Chunlin walking out of the land walker next to him.
As the leader of this generation of innate bloodline, Fu Junlin has naturally heard of it; And Xie Cheng, as a genius of the acquired bloodline who appeared as a dark horse, Fu Junlin naturally knew a lot.
The two looked at each other and smiled, nodded their heads, and walked towards the Lu family's main house together.
At the door of the Lu family's banquet hall, Lu Jiaqi was calmly dealing with the guests who came to the banquet.
Seeing Xie Cheng and Fu Chunlin walking together, she showed a hint of joy on her face and greeted her: "Chunlin, Xie Yuan, you are here." ”
Xie Yan smiled and signaled, Fu Junlin hummed softly, and walked with her to the hall.
Lu Jiaqi led the way while introducing the banquet to the two: "This time, a total of 12 people in the clan, including me, were admitted, although the celebration banquet is a family banquet, I also want to take this opportunity to introduce to you, I hope you can take more care of it in the future." ”
After speaking, she looked at the two of them gratefully: "I'm very happy that you can come, thank you!" ”
"The Fu family and the Lu family are both powerful families with innate bloodline, and they should support each other, not to mention the love between you and I who grew up together, it is my duty to invite me to participate." Fu Junlin replied politely.
"Miss Lu, you're welcome! The Lu family is a big family in the soil industry, and I, as a fledgling junior, also took this opportunity to take a look. Xie Cheng was quite sincere.
"This side is the food area, that side is the rest area, and there is a private room chat room on the second floor." Lu Jiaqi briefly introduced the layout of the banquet to the two, "Those two of you are pleased, and I will go to greet the other guests." ”
