Chapter 68: Grandpa's Family Banquet
"What is Noble?"
The sudden sound startled Van Lin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 With a nervous expression, Info took back the hand that was stroking the white crane, and then quickly stood up.
"Grandma!"
"Don't be so nervous, kid!" Nangong Yun smiled, "I can see that they like you very much." ”
"By the way, you haven't told me yet, what is Noble?"
"It's a dragon, Norwegian Ridgeback!" Van Lin said embarrassedly, "it was raised by Rubeus Hagrid, the Hogwarts Hunting Groundkeeper." ”
"Dragon?" Nangong Yun said in surprise, "I remember that the British Ministry of Magic prohibits private captivity of dragons!"
"Oh, of course. Al quickly explained, "It was we who suggested that Hagrid go to Dumbledore to register a legal identity for Noble, and let Noble guard the Forbidden Forest for Hogwarts." ”
"Very good idea, I think Arbus will agree, there is still a good way to deal with the dragon Arbus, after all, he has also studied the "Twelve Uses of Dragon Blood". Nangong Yun smiled and touched Fan Lin's head with his hand.
"You can see that you are very fond of these magical creatures as well. I think you'd be willing to have a good conversation with our beast tamer, Mr. Pang Yuan, who has kept a lot of magical creatures in captivity. He thought he could hide it from me. ”
"Well, I'll have time to see this, my boy! Now it's time for you to meet your grandfather's old thing. "It seems that my grandmother is quite full of grandpa.
"Okay, Grandma. Fan Lin hurriedly stood up, with the experience of the previous trips, Fan Lin had basically understood the rules of teleportation.
After a burst of light and shadow, Fan Lin came to a strange house, but it didn't seem to be in the Nine Immortals Palace. The architecture is more modern, like a manor.
"Okay, come in!" Nangong Yun pressed his hand in the air, and the iron gate was pushed open.
"Welcome back, hostess. An old and ugly goblin-like thing stood aside respectfully, and the coat in Nangong Yun's hand turned out.
"What is this?" Van Lin looked at the little thing in front of him, with a long big nose, two pointed ears drooping down from both sides, and a pair of eyes that looked particularly yellow.
"Oh, it's a house-elf, it's especially common in Europe, it's called Vetol. Nangong Yun nodded at Old Vitol, "He has been here for a long time, and he is from the time of your grandfather." It was given to your grandfather by the British Aiston family. ”
Van Lin looked at the house elf in front of him, which was completely different from what he knew, and Fan Lin could see that his grandmother respected old Vitol very much.
As far as he knew, in the aristocratic homes of Europe, there would be a few house-elves to serve, which was also a noble tradition, but there, house-elves were dressed in very tattered clothes and had no status.
"Madam, and this young master, the master is already waiting for you in the hall. Old Vitor bowed and squeezed out a rather ugly smile.
"Okay, you go down, Vitol!" After Nangong Yun nodded, Old Vitol lowered his head, took two steps back respectfully, and then disappeared without a trace.
"I told him not to be so restrained, but he wouldn't listen. Nangong Yun looked at his grandson, and there was a bit of helplessness in it.
"Let's go inside. He took Fan Lin's hand and walked into the room step by step.
Upon entering, unlike what I expected, my grandfather's home was more of a Muggle family environment. I thought it would be a style like the Nine Immortals Palace.
"How about it, it feels good, these are what I mean, your grandma and I have lived in France since I was a child, and I was brought back by your grandfather. At first, my grandfather was reluctant to set up the house in this way, but now that he is asking him to go back to sleep on a hard bed, I guess he will refuse. ”
"Ahem......" A heavy cough came from the sofa.
"Who said I can't sleep?" the man stood up, his eyes were bright, and although his face was wrinkled and gray, he looked very energetic overall.
"Oh, why don't I change your room to that for you alone, so you're satisfied. Nangong Yun did not hide the dissatisfaction in his words.
"Change it, change it, and let Vitol change everything in my study in a moment. The man snorted heavily, then sat down on the couch and stopped talking.
"Hmph, old thing. Nangong Yun didn't pay attention to the man's emotions, leaned over and looked at Fan Lin and said, "This old guy is your grandfather Lin Tianxiong." ”
"Hello grandpa. Hearing this, Fan Lin hurriedly greeted his grandfather respectfully.
But after waiting for a long time, Fan Lin heard a heavy nasal voice coming from the sofa.
"Old thing!" Nangong Yun cursed dissatisfiedly, "Okay, child, grandma will take you to dinner, old Vitor is a good cook." ”
Led by his grandmother, he went straight to the restaurant, and when he passed by the sofa, Fan Lin saw that the grandfather was holding a roll of bamboo slips and studying something intently.
Although I really wanted to ask what was written on it, but when I thought of my grandfather's attitude, Fan Lin felt that it was better to talk less for seconds.
Under the service of old Vitol, the table was soon filled with all kinds of Chinese dishes, which Van Lin had never seen before.
When I was about to fork a piece of food with a fork and taste it, suddenly the fork in my hand was as heavy as a piece of lead, and I couldn't lift it.
"Didn't your father teach you to wait for the elders to eat first?" As he spoke, Lin Tianxiong didn't look at Fan Lin, and walked straight to the main seat, seeing that Vitol had already placed his grandfather's dishes and chopsticks neatly at some point.
"You're enough, old thing, are you old delirious?" Nangong Yun looked at Lin Tianxiong who was slow and methodical angrily, arguing from the moment he entered the door, and it was in front of his grandson who came for the first time, which made Nangong Yun very angry.
Seeing this, Fan Lin hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to his grandfather, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, and please don't be angry." ”
"Uh-huh......" is still the same long, nasal voice. However, from beginning to end, Lin Tianxiong did not look at Fan Lin with his eyes.
Because of his grandfather's attitude, the atmosphere of the whole meal became very tense, and Fan Lin didn't understand that he had provoked his grandfather, so he had to eat carefully with a fork little by little, and he didn't dare to make the slightest sound.
Nangong Yun, on the other hand, didn't eat a bite, except for taking care of Fan Lin's accident, he was always angry with his grandfather.
When it was finally time for dinner, Van Lin felt that it was the last meal he had ever eaten.
"You and I come to the study. Lin Tianxiong carefully wiped his lips with a towel, and after saying a word, he left the table without looking back.
Looking at Lin Tianxiong, who got up to leave, Nangong Yun cursed the old thing again, nodded at Fan Lin, and motioned for Fan Lin to let his grandfather in.
