Volume 1 Heavenly Dao Sect Chapter 3 Family Banquet
The Qin family banquet is a rule set by Qin Hao, the ancestor of the Qin family, originally to provide everyone with an opportunity to communicate their feelings together and enhance family cohesion, but with the development of the Qin family, there are more and more members, and the so-called family banquet has also changed a little, because many people don't know each other at all, let alone contact and communicate feelings. However, due to the prestige and status of the ancestor Qin Hao among the descendants of the Qin family, no one in the previous dynasties raised any objections, so it was not embarrassing to hold it every year.
"The boss has arrived. ”
Before that time, as Long Wu walked into the hall and sang loudly, the ladies and children who had already been in charge of the Wende Hall saluted and greeted the head of the house under the guidance of Mrs. Su.
"Get up, all of them. ”
The head Qin Yu waved his hand and smiled, and while walking towards the head seat, he motioned for everyone to get up and take their seats.
However, according to the rules, the rest of the people can only take their seats after the head of the house is seated.
Finally, the head of the house sat down in the position facing the children and the front hall, and then the ladies and children took their seats.
In all fairness, Qin Yu doesn't like to participate in this so-called family banquet, in his mind, the members of the family banquet should be close relatives, such as Mrs. Su, Mrs. Zhang and Yan Li, etc., who tease their children and grandchildren, and have a good time.
And this kind of family banquet in front of him is full of too many strangers, and there is no so-called "home" atmosphere, Qin Yu doesn't like it.
You see, Yan Li and Ming'er, these two important family members in Qin Yu's mind, were placed far away from him. Yan Li's seat was placed in the lady's seat behind the head of the house, and Ming'er's seat was placed on the other side, so that Qin Yu didn't have a chance to say a word to Ming'er.
On the contrary, the members of the Qin family who were in the seat behind Qin Yu were excited.
Can you not be excited? This is a family banquet set up by the head of the sect, and how many disciples with foreign surnames in the Heavenly Dao Sect dream of going to the banquet but have no chance. And you can see the head Qin Yu up close, Qin Yu is a heroic figure in the Heavenly Dao Sect.
At the age of 500, Qin Yu was appointed as the head of the Heavenly Dao Sect by the Purple Sandalwood True Force, and the Heavenly Dao Sect at that time was suppressed by the Imperial Beast Gate and the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, and constantly lost its control of the territory, less than one-sixth of the heyday, and the reduction of the territory represented the reduction of the mortal people under the rule.
After Qin Yu took office, he made drastic reforms, drawing on the national system, so that the loose sect became a cohesive collective. In terms of operations, the original tactics of the master leading their respective apprentices to fight were changed to one guard for every 10,000 people, and the battle formation was trained according to the army, with the survival of the fittest and clear rewards and punishments. The combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Dao Sect has increased greatly, and each of the 2,000 Yuan Infant Monks who practice the Liangyi Array can rival a Mahayana Perfection Realm monk, and thirty years ago, the Fierce Guardian laid down the Two Ritual Array with 4,000 Yuan Infant Monks, sacrificed 3,002 people, and killed the Ten Thousand Demon Valley Mahayana Perfection Realm monks, making the Heavenly Dao Sect's Liangyi Array famous in the Dongyang Realm. This forced the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to withdraw from the land that had occupied the Heavenly Dao Sect for nearly thirty years. Restore the land area of the Eastern Continent to one-fifth of the land area occupied by the Heavenly Dao Sect to its peak.
After Qin Yu took his seat, he said a few words of emotion, to the effect that he hoped for harmony within the clan and other words of wish and encouragement.
At this time, at the suggestion of Long Wu, the disciples of the Shang Shan Bureau had already come up with dishes, and it was undeniable that Qin Daoming was far more interested in those fragrant dishes than he was in observing his relatives.
While eating, Qin Yu began to communicate verbally with the people around him. Although there is a rule of "eating without speaking", the original meaning of this sentence refers to not being able to speak while eating, that is, talking while chewing, which is impolite. It's not that you can't talk while eating.
Conversely, it is a long-standing tradition for the whole family to talk and communicate during meals, especially for families that do not easily get together.
If there is nothing to say during the meal, I believe that the family will hardly have any opportunities to communicate at other times.
is like Qin Daoming at this moment, he is just concentrating on eating meat, eating fish, and gnawing pig's trotters, except for chatting with the second brother on the left side in a low voice from time to time, he has no heart to insert into the ancestral game of the Qin family.
Oh, the so-called ancestral game of the Qin family, in fact, is that the elders of the head of the council hall thought of some riddles, and at this time asked Long Wu to read it out at the family banquet, so that the children younger than eight years old guessed, if they guessed correctly, there would be some exquisite gadgets as a reward.
The rewards for the boys are jade hooks (for hanging jade pendants), jade pendants, etc., while the rewards for girls are jade bracelets, hostas, etc.
It's just a little game to liven up the atmosphere of the feast.
But there's no denying that kids are interested in it. Of course, maybe those girls care about those delicately made jade, but for some ambitious children, they are more concerned about whether they can show their faces frequently in front of the head of the family and the clan elders to please them.
Counting around, I'm afraid that only Qin Daoming eats and drinks fruit wine by himself, as if he is out of place with everyone else in the hall.
Because it is purely a riddle to enliven the atmosphere of the feast, and it also has to take care of the children who are relatively weak in literary talent, the riddles that the elders of the council hall come up with are relatively simple, and occasionally there are one or two that are more difficult.
For example, "1,000 on the left is less, and 10,000 on the right is more."
Almost as soon as Long Wu finished reading, Qin Daoming guessed the riddle in his heart.
"Imitation. "A cousin of Qin Daoming guessed the first riddle correctly.
Guessed the first riddle correctly, received a small reward of jade pendant from Long Wu's hand, and happily showed it to familiar friends nearby to show off it.
Qin Daoming laughed in his heart, what is there to guess, it is all a child's game, I don't guess, I want to practice early and become a Qin Immortal, but I smirked when I thought about myself.
A cousin saw Qin Daoming's smirk and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that he is really a barbarian." "If Qin Daoming heard this, he might have to fall to the ground directly, and the Qin Immortal would become a Qin Diren, and he was looking forward to the great dream of becoming an Immortal. ”
"Say goodbye and then abandon the old suspicions. ”
"Humility. ”
"The work is unique. ”
"Lu. ”
"The dealer is in arrears. ”
"Seconds. ”
"Refers to the east and west. ”
"Yi. ”
"Race to be the first to enter the river"
"Color. ”
Many children have gained a lot, both received small rewards and were praised by the boss, and many of them couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
Qin Daoming was the only one who was out of place, he just ate by himself, as if he didn't even have the interest in listening to those riddles.
Seeing this, Qin Yu was angry and funny, although he knew that these simple riddles would not be difficult for Qin Daoming, but Qin Daoming's faceless behavior made him a little unhappy as a father.
"Ming'er, why don't you guess?"
Qin Yu raised his hand to signal Long Wu to stop asking questions for the time being, and opened his mouth to ask Qin Daoming.
Qin Daoming was wandering out of the world, when he heard the voice, he was shocked how his father had noticed me, and he stood up and smiled at his father: "Father, I was thinking about choosing Zongwei tomorrow, so I didn't care about guessing riddles." ”
Qin Yu said happily: "My son seems to have grown up, and he already knows how to think about things in advance. ”
Qin Daoming gave a big thumbs up to his quick wisdom in his heart.
Qin Daoming and Qin Shuang stepped forward, I would have told the two of you about choosing Zongwei after the family banquet was over, since my son has been thinking about it now, I will tell you two in advance, so that you two can feel at ease as soon as possible.
Qin Hao, the ancestor of my Qin clan, made a rule that whoever lifted the heaviest stone lock and the most outstanding one in the spiritual root test at the Spiritual Root Testing Conference could each choose three Zong Wei. Zongwei is the innocence child cultivated by the clan with the lowest level of ninth-level spiritual root, and the three children selected will guard the growth of the master, and the clan has left their primordial imprint, so they are absolutely loyal.
The children who had never heard about Zong Wei all looked at Qin Daoming and Qin Shuang with envious eyes.
Qin Yu said: "Qin Daoming can choose three Zongwei for lifting the stone lock at the heaviest, and Qin Shuang, as the best person in the spiritual root test, can choose three Zongwei, and he can go and choose tomorrow morning." ”
"Qin Daoming couldn't test it because the spirit root was special, so I studied Qin Shuang, who evaluated the ninth-level earth spirit root, with the clan elder, as the best in the spirit root test. ”
"Let's drink to your heart's content, and may my Qin clan prosper forever. ”
