Chapter 193: The Banquet
The sun is setting, and the sunset is full of sky.
Today's Dongping County can be described as quite lively, the street is full of people, it seems to be very lively, and the inns in the town are also full of guests early, the reason for everything is because the birthday banquet of the great Confucian Wang Tong is about to start.
On the noisy street, the crowd of people involuntarily fell on the three men and one woman, three handsome and a beautiful woman, of course, many people's eyes fell on the woman, but no one stepped forward to disturb, just because compared with the three men next to the woman, they were too bad.
A few days ago, Lu Wuchen, who had just returned to the Shuanglong Gang, received an invitation inviting him to attend Wang Tong's birthday banquet, which made Lu Wuchen surprised for a while, but he didn't refuse, and after arranging it, he took two apprentices and Wan Wan to this Dongping County.
"Ling Shao, this Dongping County is quite lively."
"Yes, it's a nice place to live and work here."
Along the way, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling kept looking around, talking in whispers, like two country boys who had never seen the world.
Glancing at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, a trace of disdain flashed on Wan Wan's face, and she said lightly: "Tu Baozi." ”
"Ling Shao, I think Sister Wan Wan must have seen the world, otherwise how could you call the two of us like that?"
Kou Zhong, who was chattering, suddenly raised his head, blinked his eyes, and turned his head to Xu Ziling next to him and said.
"I think Zhong Shao, what you said is good!"
Facing Kou Zhong's gaze, Xu Ziling also nodded and said seriously.
"These two guys ......"
I heard the names of these two boys. A trace of murderous intent rose in Wan Wan's heart. I want to kill these two people immediately. Don't look at the intimacy in the mouths of these two, but the tone is full of mockery.
It's just that at the moment, she can really only deal with it with a smile, because to put it bluntly, she is still a little older than Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and she is still the "maid" rescued by Lu Wuchen.
Ignoring the coldness on Wan Wan's face, Kou Zhong walked to Lu Wuchen's side as if he had nothing to do, and asked, "Master, even if that Wang Tong is famous." It's just a birthday banquet, and it won't make this Dongping County so lively, right? ”
Hearing this, Lu Wuchen smiled slightly and said, "That's because Shi Qingxuan, who is famous all over the world, will also come to the birthday banquet." ”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned when they heard this.
You must know that Shi Qingxuan is a strange woman who shocked the whole country, shocked the contemporary with her flute skills, and the two had heard her name as early as Yangzhou, but they didn't know that Wang Tong had such a big face and invited her here to perform. I heard that she has always lived a reclusive life, and not many people can appreciate her flute sound, but everyone who has heard it admires her to the ground.
Kou Zhong elbowed Xu Ziling. Strange smile: "This time we made a lot of money, it was not in vain for us to come to Dongping County." ”
Xu Ziling also nodded. "Not bad! I have heard that Shi Qingxuan's flute skills for a long time, and today I can hear the rumored sound of the flute, which is really worth it. ”
Seeing that the two boys in front of him were so admiring the woman who had never been masked, Wanwan's heart suddenly rose a trace of dissatisfaction, same-sex rejection is an eternal truth, not to mention between two excellent women.
"I want to see what kind of woman that world-shattering Shi Qingxuan is."
Wan Wan, who had always been indifferent to this birthday banquet, had a trace of curiosity about Shi Qingxuan in her heart, and wanted to see what Shi Qingxuan was capable of.
Sometimes, it has to be said that women are strange creatures, even if they are not masked, they can produce inexplicable competition, which makes men never understand the reason.
Glancing at Wan Wan, who was a little emotionally elevated, Lu Wuchen's mouth showed an inexplicable smile, and under the guidance of passers-by, he walked straight to the location of the birthday banquet with the three of them.
Wang Tong's birthday banquet was in a mansion covering an area of 100 acres, and when Lu Wuchen and his party of four came, they saw the lights inside and outside the door, the shadows coming and going, and the sound of laughter could be heard everywhere. On the opposite side of the street, there was a crowd of people who watched the excitement but could not enter, not to mention hundreds of people.
A group of more than 30 armed men dressed in green clothes are maintaining order, preventing idlers from blocking the streets and preventing the cars and horses of real customers from entering the mansion.
Smacking his lips, Kou Zhong said with a face full of surprise: "My mother! There are too many of them! ‘
Xu Ziling smiled slightly: "Who doesn't want to listen to Shi Qingxuan's flute sound, it's normal." ”
Kou Zhong sighed and said, "Now I'm also a little looking forward to that Shi Qingxuan's flute sound." ”
"Humph!"
Hearing that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were very supportive of Shi Qingxuan's words, Wan Wan couldn't help but snort coldly, a trace of displeasure appeared on her face, and she seemed to be in an extremely unhappy mood.
"Let's go inside."
With a chuckle, Lu Wuchen sighed in his heart, and after showing the invitation to the doorman, he beckoned the three of them to go in together.
After entering the gate, Lu Wuchen and the four of them found that it was lively outside, and it was even more lively inside.
The large garden of the main house was full of lanterns, as light as day, crowded with servants and guests, and the atmosphere was very warm, and those people in splendid costumes were all excitedly discussing different topics, and the intimacy seemed to be full of acquaintances.
Seeing the lively scene in front of him, Kou Zong couldn't help but sigh: "My mother, inside and outside this wall are the two worlds. ”
Xu Ziling also nodded and did not speak, although the scene in front of him was lively, but the people's hearts were too complicated, who could know what those people were thinking in their hearts.
After looking around, Lu Wuchen's master and apprentice and the four of them walked towards the hall, although some people around were a little curious about the four people who came, but in this case, they did not come forward to ask Lu Wuchen about their identity, and they saluted even if they said hello.
Along the way, Kou Zhongjin looked at the female guests who were deliberately dressed up with flamboyant eyes, pointing and commenting from time to time, but he said to Xu Ziling very seriously that the appearance of these women was far inferior to that of Sister Wanwan.
Although the teeth itched for the salutation in Kou Zhong's mouth, a smile still appeared on Wan Wan's face, after all, no woman hates men to praise her beauty.
When the four of them came to the main hall of the mansion, they found that the atmosphere around them was even more intense, and everyone was excitedly discussing Shi Qingxuan's flute art, as if they were all experts who studied her.
There are more than ten tables in the hall against the wall, which are full of delicacies and delicacies, which can be enjoyed by others.
Sighing slightly, Kou Zhong touched his stomach and said, "I knew that there were so many delicious foods, so I saved the dinner just now for here!" ‘
Glancing at Kou Zhong, Wan Wan said lightly: "It's really a pig." ”
Ignoring Wan Wan's taunts, Kou Zhong found that Master and Xu Ziling were looking somewhere, and followed their line of sight, only to see that there were three people sitting in a group of acid branch chairs on the side of the hall, and the others could only stand aside, which further highlighted the status of these three people.
The one in the middle has white hair and a majestic bearing, but he is in rags, and although he is sitting, he still makes people feel his majestic figure and spirit.
The other person was wearing a long gown and two sideburns, which made people know that he was a lot older, but his appearance was only middle-aged, and he was elegant and elegant, giving people a sense of otherworldliness.
Kou Zhong has gained a lot of experience these days, but he still feels that these two people are transcendent.
The person who sat and talked with these two people was a middle-aged man who looked like a big official, very imposing, and also gave people the impression of being shrewd and powerful.
As if sensing that someone was watching them, the mighty old man and the long-robed Confucian looked at the three of them in unison.
With a light breath of turbidity, Kou Zhong whispered, "My mother! The master is really a master, not a play. ‘
Xu Ziling also nodded and said, "Not bad!" Master, do you know them? ”
With a slight squint in his eyes, Lu Wuchen said to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, asking them to pay attention, and then walked towards the three of them.
Master, this is ......
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in their eyes, because they also saw that the three people had sent invitations to the master, but they never knew that the master knew the three people.
"Xu Ziling, you are also here?"
Just when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were confused, they only heard footsteps behind them, and then a cold word came into the ears of the two.
Looking back, Xu Ziling suddenly had a headache.
Because that person turned out to be Shan Wanjing, the princess of Dongming who was pretending to be a pretty scholar, a person he didn't want to meet at the moment. (To be continued......)
