Chapter 56: The Feast

"Looking at Xi Yingzhen's father's sake, why do you have to go in and eat your meal." He glanced at Wu Mian beside him with a smile and saw that this white-haired man had no opinion. After smiling at Wu Mian at the moment, the two of them took the two monsters, and under the personal leadership of Shi Chong, entered this magnificent mansion that was somewhat excessive.

After passing through two gardens in a row, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui were taken by Shi Chong to a pond. In the center of the pond there is an octagonal pavilion, and a stone-paved road leads to the octagonal pavilion. There are more than 100 small glass-pedestal thin jade oil lamps floating on the whole pond, and even though it is daytime, the oil lamps are also lit with fire. The banquet had already been set up in the pavilion, and four beautiful women in palace costumes stood at the entrance of the pavilion, and when they saw Shi Chong coming with people, they knelt at the entrance of the pavilion to give salutes.

"Today was supposed to prepare a banquet to entertain the Grand Karcist, but since Mr. Ying Zhen has something to do, he can't come. Then ask a few people to do it for you, all of them are a little bit of country game, and please don't blame Shi Chong for being slack. As he spoke, Shi Chong had already let the two of them and the two demons into the octagonal pavilion.

Inside the octagonal pavilion are five separate tables, each of which already has six exquisite delicacies. This was originally prepared for Xi Yingzhen, and Shi Chong, who accompanied the seat, only prepared two tables. Fortunately, the kitchen was well stocked, and in a hurry, three more portions of the same delicacies came up.

Originally, Shi Chong arranged the return or not to return to the top seat, but the old guy was afraid that Wu Mian would be jealous, and when he was about to give in, he was preemptively sat here by Xiao Rensan: "What are you pretending to be polite?" It's as if there's some kind of friendship. Today was originally for our old man. We don't break the king's law by sitting here, right? ”

Hearing that the whole unruly child in front of him was Xi Yingzhen's godson, Shi Chong's face smiled even more: "I heard Mr. Ying Zhen say before that he had a righteous son, and it turned out to be a brother. After the first meeting, Shi Chong must have a gift to give, and someone will come and bring the wine prepared for Mr. Ying Zhen. I'm going to get drunk with a few envoys. ”

As he spoke, there was already a group of beautiful women in the distance, two of whom came over with a jar of fine wine. Unlike other mansions, Shi Chong's big Si Nong's mansion only has a small number of passing family members outside, except for the guards. The people who do things are all beautiful women in flowery palace clothes, no wonder Xi Yingzhen is still thinking about this in his heart.

The food during the banquet was also first-class, Wu Mian and Gui Hui or Not They all had a palace banquet at the emperor's house. However, compared with the delicacies in the pavilion, it is still a lot inferior, even Xiao Rensan, who is very picky about eating and drinking, can't find any fault. Especially for the wine that has been sent repeatedly, the little guy is simply full of praise. Moreover, the utensils used to serve the delicacies are also very particular, not the gold plates and silver bowls used in the homes of ordinary nouveau riche. It's red lacquerware, and even the palace doesn't have such exquisite tableware.

Seeing Xiao Ren San eating happily, Shi Chong also smiled all over his face: "It's just a little bit of country food, Ren San is really outspoken." Come over for a glass of wine when you think about it, you are all people with great magical powers, and it shouldn't be difficult to travel a thousand miles. Next time Mr. Ying Zhen comes again, you can come along. ”

At this time, Bai Wuqiu swallowed the lamb in his mouth and said to Shi Chong: "Lao Tzu doesn't understand, didn't you say that Xi Yingzhen's old man came to you as a disciple?" So what's so polite? There is also a mouthful of Mr. Ying Zhen......"

Hearing this, Shi Chong sighed slightly and said, "Although Mr. Ying Zhen said that he accepted me as a disciple, but what his old man said was that I had not yet arrived with his old man's master and apprentice. Now I can only be temporarily accepted as a registered disciple, just called Mr. Yingzhen, not Shizun. said that I want to be as close as I am to Mr. Ying Zhen, and that his old man will visit me a few more times, and it will almost be considered complete. ”

After saying these words, the old guy breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Shi Chong: "Okay, I have eaten and drunk." You take out the things you want to give to Mr. Ying Zhen, and his old man has something to delay, so he specially asked us to take the things away for him. I'm also curious about the old man, what kind of treasure can make Xi Yingzhen's father so worried. ”

Hearing that Xi Yingzhen wanted the treasure that Xi Ying really wanted, Shi Chong hesitated slightly. Then he called an older beautiful woman and said, "Go, take out the things that have been prepared for Mr. Ying Zhen." Be careful when holding it, and never bump into it. ”

Half an hour later, four women carried a wooden box more than half a person high to the entrance of the pavilion. Shi Chong got up and opened the box, revealing a beautiful statue carved by Hanyu inside. The jade quality of this beautiful jade is excellent and almost transparent, and the carving is also excellent, carving a beautiful statue to life.

"This Miaoyu is the treasure that Mr. Ying Zhen has set up." After Shi Chong glanced at the Hanyu beauty with some reluctance, he continued: "This was purchased from a Persian merchant a few years ago when I was doing assassination in Xuzhou. The last time I saw Mr. Ying Zhen, this Miaoyu had not yet been completed, and at that time it was said that after Miaoyu was completed, it was to be given to Mr. Ying Zhen to increase the fate of our master. Because the jade quality of Miaoyu is extremely hard, it is difficult to carve several people. I found four craftsmen to work day and night, and finally finished carving Miaoyu half a month ago. ”

"What does the old man mean at this time? Transsexualized? There are so many flesh-and-blood girls in the world who don't want it, just like such a dummy? While speaking, Xiao Rensan jumped down from the dining table, and after turning around for the beauty of Miaoyu, he still shook his little head and said to himself: "Jade is good jade, and the appearance of the carver is good, but the fake is fake." How could the old man have taken a fancy to such a stone? ”

"That's right, why did Xi Yingzhen's father fall in love with this stone." After smiling, he glanced at Shi Chong, who was still with the smiling face, and said, "Lord Shi, we are going for your Mr. Ying Zhen, are you still worried that we will hide the treasure privately?" Since you can't trust us, it doesn't matter if you let the Grand Karcist make another trip after a while, anyway, it's not a few of us who will be unhappy at that time. ”

"You're telling a joke, how dare I disbelieve you. The conscience of heaven and earth, Mr. Ying Zhen named and named the surname to ask for this piece of wonderful jade. Speaking of this, Shi Chong was also a little anxious. At this time, a maidservant girl brought a few snow-white dishes. Unlike the previous dishes in lacquerware, these dishes are placed in a bone vessel.

Seeing the new dishes, Shi Chong planned to take the opportunity to stagger the topic: "Although all the envoys are immortal-like characters, they should have never eaten such a rare thing. This is a dragon caught by fishermen in the West Sea, and I bought it after I heard it. Originally, I also wanted to ask Mr. Ying Zhen to try it, but this white is the bone marrow of Jiaolong. This bone marrow must not be contaminated with the worldly things, otherwise it will turn into juice. The utensils below are made of broken skulls of dragons, and bone knives are used to cut bone marrow. A few of you can taste the food that is hard to find in this world. ”

Xiao Rensan grabbed a piece of Jiaolong bone marrow with his hand and put it in his mouth, ate it in two bites, and said, "Isn't this just a piece of boiled fat?" It's not as delicious as cow bone marrow......"

"Although they are all masters of the Tao, they have never eaten such a delicacy. Jiaolong bone marrow should be chewed less and swallowed slowly, so as to know where the delicacy is. If it weren't for the coincidence, even His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't have been able to eat such a delicacy......"

Seeing that Shi Chong was full of intoxication when he talked about Jiaolong's bone marrow, his tone brought out a little disdain for Xiao Rensan. Wu Mian, who was watching coldly, snorted and said, "Jiaolong is just a dragon and not a real dragon, is there anything strange about it?" What if it's a real dragon? ”

As Wu Mian spoke, a flash of lightning suddenly struck from the sky. Then a gust of wind blew in, instantly extinguishing all the oil lamps in the pond. Then it rained heavily in the sky, and a white python-like shadow shuttled back and forth in the sky. After Wu Mian sneered, he continued: "There will be wind and rain in the dragon's journey, just now you brought out the bone marrow of the dragon. Then I ask you how to ...... dragon meat"

As soon as Wu Mian's words fell, the white shadow above his head instantly rushed down towards the octagonal pavilion. Shi Chong's face turned pale with fright, and his body trembled......
