This family banquet, whether it is the members who participated, or the liveliness, as well as the time, and of course, the budget greatly exceeded expectations. It is a happy celebration, coupled with the effect of alcohol, a little drunk is like a downhill car, naturally the more you drink, the more you can't stop.

Not to mention that the three lifelong servants were so busy that they hit the back of their heads, and they still couldn't provide enough food, so they had no choice but to let a few ordinary coolies who ate half of them turn to the kitchen to work overtime. Grape making alone is not enough after the first two jars and the addition of five jars. In the face of the high interest of his family and several magical employees, old Izza wanted to end it regardless of decency, but under the gentle words of the girl Bai Yang, he chose to let everyone have fun.

After a little speculation from the faces of the people at the table, and then tripling the two rectal water magic warriors who didn't understand the 'meaning of the words', Old Iza gritted his teeth and simply bought ten jars of grape wine through the two qi magicians again.

When the third batch of wine appeared on the magic circle that usually transported cloth, Old Iza had another pain in his flesh, but he heard a laugh next to him, and turned his head to see the smiling girl Bai Yang.

"Your Excellency, look at you like this. The family's business is getting better and better, and it's rare to be double happy, so don't keep a face. The two new granddaughters-in-law still thought they had done something wrong, and they had been restrained. ”

Old Iza glanced over and saw the two little girls sitting precariously, and sighed slightly, "That's what Madame said." ”

"When I was young, I participated in the dinner party of the merchant team, and my father always secretly told me that I must eat more, for fear that I would not be able to get back the money I scraped together. Why don't you just open your mind and drink more?"

Old Iza laughed at this rather simple idea, but in turn he approved of it. It's like the joke that Guan and can't resist and enjoy obediently, the money has already gone out, and it's useless to complain bitterly. "As Madame said. ”

And as the head of the family, Lao Iza let go of his ideological baggage, the atmosphere of the small family banquet rose by three points, and between the cups and the lamps, there were five jars of grapes brewed.

Old Izza's mind began to be unclear, and his words gradually increased, and he even grabbed his two sons one by one and complained about the hidden thoughts in his heart. One will say that the eldest son pays too much attention to faith, neglects the family business, and has too few wives and children; at the other time, he will turn his head and say that the second son is too kind-hearted, and when doing business, he has to deal with his peers in every possible way to do taxes, and think more about things. Then blinked his cloudy eyes twice, and in the fog, he couldn't tell which side was the eldest son and which side was the second son, and after a moment of confusion, he had a way, so he simply twisted the words just now and said them again to ensure that nothing went wrong.

It's a pity that the two sons are not good at drinking, and they can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, not to mention the repeated chatter of the old father in his ear.

The other people who are qualified to drink grape wine are similar, several women are all blushing, and the fire qi magic craftsman has slightly restrained because it is away, but his eyes are already confused. Only the two water-based magic warriors still eat nonsense, worthy of their own magic attributes.

As for a few juniors and ordinary people on the table in the distance, they have either gone back to the house to rest, or they are still unwilling to take a break and stuff a bite, and look at the wine and meat here with their spare eyes, hoping that there will be some leftovers to improve the food.

The girl Bai Yang squinted her eyes and looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the young Jim who was running around with the plates, and then got up, came to Old Iza's side, and persuaded softly: "My lord, don't drink, you are drunk." ”

After a few vague sounds, Old Iza squinted at Bai Yang, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'm not drunk, I'm just a little happy!"

Quietly but very easily squeezed the second son Aliba away, the girl Bai Yang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you are not drunk, but it is better to drink slowly." It's better to talk, and it's not too late to disperse the wine and drink again. ”

With a long exhale, old Iza looked at his two sons, who were staggering and confused, and then remembered that since I don't know when, the two of them have not replied at all, and they are just talking to themselves. The child was angry and seemed to push the eldest son, got two snorts, and then pushed the second son, but waved his hand as if he was being chased away.

"Why don't you tell me?"

"White ...... Bai ......" stumbled twice, but he couldn't remember the pronunciation at all, old Iza shook his head, no longer dwelling on this, but just spoke again, and the content was still the same as the two sons.

"Tell me about your youth? and the nickname of this white crow. ”

"Hmm...... White Feather Crow, hehe, I'm not a White Feather Crow, White Feather Crow is another person's nickname. With this as the beginning, old Iza opened his mind along this question, and told the things of his youth in the east and a hammer in the west. After summarizing and condensing, it is also very simple, it is the story of two self-confident artisan district teenagers who went to the slums to do chivalrous deeds.

At first glance, it sounds above board, but the detailed discernment is just a process of bullying ordinary people to satisfy the self-awareness of young people. Even if all the processes and motivations are whitewashed at this point, many inconsistencies and absurd exaggerations can still be found in a closer look. “...... We both use the name of the White Feather Crow, as do our coats. But in comparison, he still does more things, and most of this nickname is his. ”

The girl Bai Yang made a yearning expression and asked, "I don't know who the righteous devout disciple is, if you have the opportunity to pay a visit." ”

"You won't see it, that guy has been dead for years. As the words fell, old Iza looked up at the sky as if looking for a star, and after no avail, he lowered his head and showed his face, but he picked up the wine bowl and poured a scarlet grape wine. The death of a teenage playmate is one of the saddest things for the elderly.

"Could it be that this lord has been promoted to archbishop?"

"Hehe, who knows. This sentence was half questioning and half lamenting, and old Iza shook his head: "Anyway, there were stars in the sky when he was alive, but he didn't put on the big green robe until he died." ”

I was unfair, so I didn't control the volume, and I should have heard it from far and near. The girl Bai Yang frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Master, you drank too much." Since he has been recognized by the sacred tree and has become the fruit of the shade of the heavenly firmament, he is naturally the archbishop, which cannot be wrong. ”

As the girl Bai Yang reminded, a nine-ring magician, the strong person who appears in the night sky corresponding to the human star, must have its corresponding treatment status, and this incentive mechanism must be publicly promoted.

Old Iza was stunned for a moment, and when he saw a few magic craftsmen not far from the dining table, he sobered up a little, pretended to be a memory, and said, "Hmm...... It's the old man who remembers it wrong, and that old friend doesn't have that blessing. After all, it is one step away from the grace of God. ”

The girl Bai Yang poured the two bowls in front of her full of grape wine, and said, "Honor this old friend of yours to heaven." ”

Old Iza frowned, feeling that the painting style of the girl Bai Yang at this time was a little wrong, but when he smelled the aroma of wine, he was immersed in the nostalgia for his old friends, and the fragments of his memories such as jealousy, envy, and estrangement and estrangement came together, and he drank a bowl of grapes unconsciously.

"I wonder what happened to this big man's life?"

Old Iza turned a deaf ear, remembering what he had just done, and actually admitting that he was 'mistaken'? What are you kidding, how can you be wrong about this kind of thing. Ignoring the slight obstruction of the girl Bai Yang, he poured a full bowl and drank it again.

"My lord, it's not okay for you to drink like this, it hurts your body. ”

"What else? I don't look down on the ancestral workshop, go to the main city to work hard, participate in a few holy wars, marry a wife and have children, and then live happily ever after. After a pause, old Iza smiled again: "Speaking of which, I also saw his grandson in winter, tsk, he looks exactly like when he was young." At that time, I was shocked, and I thought that my old friend had been approved by the gods to return to earth from heaven. ”

The girl Bai Yang covered her mouth and chuckled, and asked again: "Could it be that this is the big man in the priest's academy that the little gangster mentioned just now?"

"Big man!" Old Iza sighed again and shook his head: "Where is the big man so good." Don't mention him. ”

"The little wife is confused, and I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

"Ask, hehe. ”

"Why don't you want to bring this up, if you can get closer, wouldn't this business be much easier?"

"Human affection is the same as debt, emergency is not poor. When the favor is exhausted, and there is not enough strength, the higher you climb, the heavier you fall. "The truth is beautiful, but old Iza knows in his heart that this is just an excuse that he has been thinking about for half a lifetime, in fact, the biggest reason is just that he can't cross the hurdle of 'self-esteem'.

"It's still your lord, you think far-reachingly. But there's no need to keep such a relationship hidden, right? Afri would be glad to know that you have such a friend. ”

That's why I didn't tell him. Old Iza leaned over his eldest son, who was snoring on the table, and explained in a low voice: "Otherwise, this thing will only pester people and annoy them in vain." ”

"That's what's wrong with you. The girl Bai Yang took a hand, stroked the age spots at the tiger's mouth, and said softly: "If there is a case, the family doesn't even know who to ask for help." ”

Old Iza swallowed his saliva, but after all, he shook his head, did not answer, waved his hand to attract everyone's attention, and recited in a loud voice a verse admonishing to drink in moderation, which of course meant that the family feast was over.

Everyone was already smoky, just sitting and chatting, occasionally eating a few bites of food and drinking half a sip of wine. At this time, in the spirit of respect for the doctrine, the child got up with interest, and chanted the words of thanksgiving to the Lord in a lively and uneven manner. The magicians packed up their things and left, and the ordinary laborers knew that they were exhausted, and followed. The three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law and the three lifelong servants tried their best to help the two drunk men back to the room.

Old Iza was still able to get up on his own, but his body was shaky and his vision was not clear. Take a few deep breaths, let the cool autumn night wind penetrate into your lungs, and then realize that the girl Bai Yang, who has been with her all the time, did not know where she went, and after waiting for a while, the second wife and the two old servants returned, and then they were helped back to the room.

"Do you see the white sun?"

"Are you still thinking about her at this time?"

"You're mistaken, it's just that she's a little weird tonight. ”

"The little girl also drank some grape wine, I'm afraid she didn't suppress her little temperament. It's normal to live a cautious life for such a long time. The second wife obviously saw it, and she also came from that age, thinking back to her original place, I am afraid that she would have been unable to hold it back.

Old Iza lay on his back on the bed, suddenly much more comfortable, and complained, "It's not that you don't get close to her. ”

"You want to be beautiful. The second wife wrung out the wet cloth towel and stuffed it into the old Iza's hand: "Wipe it yourself, I'll go see Aliba, you won't stop him from drinking when he is weak." Drink it for two days in a row, how can you stand it. ”

Yesterday, in order to deal with the tax priests, the workshop owners did not drink a drop of wine, and the rest naturally had to do the work for them.

"There's no way around drinking. Old Iza barely found an excuse, but heard a nonsensical sound of the door shut. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said to the two old servants who were helping him to loosen his clothes: "You eat some food, and go to rest, the table will be cleaned up tomorrow." ”

The two old servants thanked for their compassion, and when they were leaving, one of them slowed down by half a step, and turned to old Iza to answer the question just now: "The little one just saw that the third lady seemed to be dyeing cloth in the back yard and reprimanding Jim. ”

Old Izza was sleepy, but when he heard this, he regained his spirit out of a man's instinct and asked, "The two of them usually do the same?"

"It's the first time I've seen the little one, and the third lady looks very angry. ”

"Let's go down. Waving his hand, old Iza turned his mind in his heart, and when the girl Bai Yang returned to the house, he stared at the other party's expression and asked directly, "You and Jim already know each other, right?"

The girl's Bai Yang's body trembled obviously, completely exposed, and she looked panicked. Old Iza had a bad feeling in his heart, this was a lie, both of them were introduced by Josa, and it was not surprising that they had met a few times in the slums, but such a reaction was undoubtedly problematic.

Old Iza wanted to take advantage of the other party's panic and continue to persecute and ask for the truth, but when he saw the girl Bai Yang smiling, he immediately frowned, first, he knew that the other party was no longer panicked, and second, this quick and calm mind was not ordinary, and he had the impression that this little girl was not so good.

"Sir, we don't know what you said. ”

"Dare to quibble!" Old Iza shouted loudly, even if he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone. Of course, as long as it is a man, there is no one who can remain calm in the face of this situation. It's a pity that years of intrigue have made old Iza accustomed to beating around the bush and using trickery to make things troublesome: "The two of you just met in the dyeing yard, and you have already seen it! ”

"Master......" The girl Bai Yang grabbed two steps and knelt on the ground, "...... Listen to me, we were just discussing a small matter. ”

This turning point of laughing and kneeling made old Iza a little stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What are you discussing?"

"Your whole family won't die. As the words fell, the body of the girl kneeling on the ground rushed forward like a spring, and the cold light of metal flashed in Old Iza's eyes.

But there was a soft ding, and the tip of the short blade was blocked by a transparent obstacle avoidance.

Feeling the force of obstacle avoidance, old Iza was shocked and asked, "Are you the fourth ring?"
