Chapter Twenty-Nine: Going to the Feast
The next day, Xiao Xuanyu led a thousand mountains and snow to arrive as promised.
Along the way, Qianshan Xue was heavy-minded, and it was unbelievable that their decision was made, why were the bets on her, in case she failed to live up to expectations?
At this time, a low table had been set up in the courtyard of the Purple Moon Mysteries for the guests to sit.
Xiao Xuanyu stopped the Qianshan Snow that she had just wanted to enter, and after they stayed at the threshold of the cultivation house for a long time, Xiao Xuanyu led her into it slowly.
They were the last to sit down.
Only listen to the sound of "hum", their arrival broke the whispered conversation of the crowd, at the moment of seeing them, abruptly stopped, at this time, the surrounding is full of complex and subtle atmosphere, everyone has a pair of eyes, intriguing look at them, there are many suspicious eyes, their surprise comes from the half-covered mountains and snow, so that the guests are curious, can not help but look sideways.
Compared with their surprise, Qianshan Xue was even more surprised and slightly shocked, she smiled awkwardly, and her eyebrows revealed a gloomy and melancholy color.
The door of the retreat is closed, the carvings on the door are exquisite, and from a distance, these clusters of flowers are blooming brightly, as if they are competing for beauty, but I don't know how amazing the people hidden behind are, and people can't help but think about everything in the house.
During the banquet, everyone's eyes were staggered, and the servants and guests with good postures were happy and happy, but they could see in the eyes of the Ming people that everyone was bored and tight, and they didn't care about these servants who served tea and poured water, and they were just greeting each other perfunctory, and their eyes were looking forward to the "beauty" behind the house.
Such a banquet in the courtyard, Qianshan Xue felt very special, looking at a pair of surprised eyes, she was inevitably a little at a loss, she would be distracted from time to time, the wine in the cup was overflowed by her slightly trembling hand, the servant whispered, the left was adding wine, the right was talking slowly, and she was being served like this with a little fluttering, smiling stupidly, what was really slightly drunk was definitely not the stunner around her, but Xiao Xuanyu beside her, he actually blocked the wine of the opposite guest for her several times, and a warm current surged into her heart.
The hour passed slowly, and the door was still closed halfway through the feast, and everyone was a little impatient to wait, and some of them had already shown a fierce light in their eyes, and the murderous aura could no longer be suppressed.
At that moment, the door opened.
The foggy crane bowed and appeared in front of everyone, and he said, "You have been waiting for a long time, the owner of the village has something to announce." ”
At this time, there was a commotion among the guests, and a glimmer of light flashed in everyone's eyes, and they all stretched their necks to look at the door, and suddenly there was a sound of high-fives inside, and the foggy crane hurriedly entered, and the door was closed again, and the people inside were whispering something, which couldn't help but make people feel more imaginative.
In the blink of an eye, the fog crane came out with a smile on his face, his eyes flowed, and he said with a smile, "The owner said that the sons can present gifts, and the owner will leave gifts if he likes, and only one person can see the owner's face at the last door." ”
The guests looked at each other, and everyone showed a shallow smile with an unknown meaning, and their eyebrows and eyes were unconcealed smugness, many of which were bound to win.
Qianshan Xue looked at these guests all with generous hands, jade, calligraphy and paintings, gold ornaments in their hands, even the gift box is exquisite rosewood, and you can smell a faint fragrance of red sandalwood from afar, lingering in your nose.
Guests have orderly walked to the door to report the door, present gifts, fog crane to receive a gift will always open in front of everyone to take a look, the face is indifferent, and then will gently close into the house, after a while he will come out of the house again, as long as he sees him holding the gift box in his hand without saying a word, he knows that he will stop here.
Guests who were not gifted by the owner of the Stygian Moon Village would be led by servants to the adjacent retreat to enjoy the singing and dancing, accompanied by the officials.
Most of the guests were convinced, but some were not convinced.
"Master of the Dark Moon Village, you don't know each other too much, others are not afraid of you, you are hiding in the house like a turtle, you come out for me."
This person roared into the room, his eyes widened, his eyebrows rose one by one, his face burst into bruises, his eyes seemed to burn the room like two flames, no one was surprised what he was going to do in the next moment, sure enough, he rushed into the house quickly, as if to kick the door, it seemed to be in an instant, he was shaken away by a force from the house, his back hit the wall hard, and the man slid down the wall and collapsed.
"Don't measure yourself, ask for your own hardships."
One of the guests glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.
The guests didn't seem to be intimidated by this little turmoil, but their faces were happy, they all presented gifts one after another, seeing that the guests were about to run out, everyone's eyes looked at Qianshan Xue and the two of them, seeing that the two of them were empty-handed, with a leisurely and complacent appearance, they all showed a sarcastic chuckle, and they were all privately betting that they would disappear faster than the Hou Ye of Fang Cai.
Xiao Xuanyu smiled disappreciatively, but his eyes were vast, looking into it as if there was nothing, but it seemed to be locked by his gaze.
The two tacitly exchanged glances, and then Qianshan Xue got up, took a few steps forward in a very chic manner, and came flutteringly, with the style of a noble son, she walked to the front of the house unhurriedly, bowed and saluted, and after she reported to the house heartily, she deliberately paused, Wuhe looked at him puzzledly, and said with a slight sarcasm, "Little boy Lichuan, what do you have to present?" ”
Qianshan Xue's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said indifferently, "My son is also polite to give, but my son is also deeply puzzled." ”
Wuhe sighed lightly and glanced at her disdainfully, "Little boy, please speak." ”
Qianshan Xue's eyes flashed, and she glanced at the inner room intriguingly, and then said lightly, "Is it really the owner of the Dark Moon Villa inside?" ”
"Presumptuous, dare to slander the owner of my family."
The fog crane's originally slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the gloomy eyes flashed a trace of coldness, he waved his palm, and a deep internal force swept towards the thousand mountains and snow, almost at the same moment, this force was counterattacked by another fierce force, only to hear a slight muffled sound, the fog crane trembled, his eyes glanced at the aftershock of the void, and instantly retracted his eyes.
Qian Shanxue's words hit the doubts of the people present, and their eyes instantly locked to the house, and those with martial arts skills had clenched their fists and were ready to move.
Sure enough, there was another round of high-five in the house.
The fog crane entered the house in response, this time it was longer, and the fog crane slowly came out after a while.
Still smiling, he said, "This is the calligraphy and painting given by the emperor, you can take a closer look, if not, the master will take off his fingers to apologize." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised by his fierceness, and after seeing the calligraphy and painting, the eyes that were originally suspicious were speechless when they caught a glimpse of His Majesty's jade medallion.
At this time, everyone looked at Qianshan Xue again, gloating and waiting for her to be shaken away.
"Where's the little boy's gift?"
The abrupt sound of the fog crane instantly sobered up Qianshan Xue.
She took a small step and bowed to salute, but she was not in a hurry to say, she paused for a while, Wuhe was a little impatient before she was about to speak, Qianshan Xue grabbed the stubble, "The big gift is this son." ”
The courtyard was dumbfounded.
A mocking sneer ensued.
Wuhe's indifferent eyes had a meaningful smile, he looked back at the house slightly, and sure enough, the house high-fived, Wuhe immediately entered the house, only for a moment, Wuhe went out of the house again, stared at her for a moment, frowned, an incredible light flashed under his eyes, and suddenly smiled lightly, "Little boy Lichuan, the owner of the village is invited." ”
With this request, the door opened, and the moment Qian Shanxue stepped into the house, he still turned slightly sideways to look at his master, Xiao Xuanyu's eyes were bright, and he was obviously satisfied with this result, but for a moment on the door, a faint melancholy flashed between his eyebrows, just for a short moment, he lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.
In the courtyard of "Woo ......", everyone's eyes were full of disappointment, they looked at each other, and some of them had already walked away angrily.
"The owner of the Dark Moon Village is nothing more than that, what is stunning, I think it is greedy and not light, today is a farce."
Xiao Xuanyu sneered, he originally looked like he didn't care, he looked at the jade cup in his hand casually, rubbing the lines of the jade cup, his thoughts drifted away, so that Qianshan Xue half-covered his face to see the owner of the Dark Moon was also his bet with Jin Xihou, he knew that a person who was good at tricking tricks must also have a curious heart.
The originally lively courtyard was quieted down due to the dispersion of people.
