Chapter 21: The Dinner Party
On the second day when Zhao Feikong came to Miao Village, he received an invitation from Miao Xueyan, the second disciple of Miao Hou.
In the name of the association, the two directors of the association specially held a welcome dinner with Xiangxi characteristics. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be arranged by the eldest disciple, but Miao Xueyan is overstepping, and the people in Miao Village don't have any special reactions, they seem to be used to it.
This made him even more curious about the relationship between Miao Xueyan and the eldest disciple Miao Rou, and whether it could be used.
said that it was a dinner party, but before it was night, Miao Xueyan sent someone to pick up Zhao Feikong and Ming Delirium.
The banquet scene is very large, and the dishes are varied, meat, vegetarian, cold, hot, sweet, spicy...... Almost all kinds of tastes and habits have been taken care of, which shows the intentions and thoughtfulness of the organizers.
When Miao Xueyan saw Zhao Feikong and the others at the table, she immediately got up to greet them and enthusiastically introduced the two to everyone present. Everyone was very affectionate and greeted each other, and the scene was very lively for a while.
Although Ming Delirium was hit by the Gu, he did not have any symptoms yet. Zhao Feikong was afraid that if he found out, it would be bad, so he didn't tell him. At this time, as soon as he saw the delicious food, he immediately forgot Zhao Feikong's previous advice and only cared about his own pleasure in eating.
Zhao Feikong once again began to wonder if the little monk master asked him to come out to practice, whether it was really "good intentions".
Miao Rou, the eldest disciple of Miao Hou, was of course also present. Zhao Feikong made a special observation, she neither sat in the main seat, nor hid directly in the corner, she would not be flattered by the people who took the initiative to talk, and at the same time, she couldn't see how disappointed she was when she deliberately ignored others.
Miao Yinghan came late, and Zhao Feikong and the two re-reported their names to each other as if they were meeting for the first time.
Zhao Feikong already had a preliminary impression of the three disciples of Miao Hou, and the only one he hadn't seen now was the little disciple Miao Yiling.
After the people gradually arrived, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually increased. The people of Miao Village are all good at singing and dancing, not shy, and the sonorous mountain songs of men and the swinging waists of women are more moving under the influence of alcohol.
Miao Xueyan seemed to be eager to show everyone her ability to control, and she did her best to maneuver around the banquet. She is not only the host of this banquet, but also the focus of the whole party. The Miao people present, both men and women, young and old, enthusiastically responded to every topic she threw out.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Miao Yinghan had toasted Zhao Feikong with a few glasses of wine, her body shook, and she hurriedly said with concern: "Yihan, today is a banquet for the two directors of the association, everyone is happy." If you continue to be respectful like this, you will have a headache tomorrow, but don't go to me to get medicine again. ”
Miao Yinghan seemed to be deeply moved, and maintained his usual heartiness, he toasted Miao Xueyan with the strength of wine, and then drank it in one go: "Second Senior Sister, since the master is seriously ill, this Miao Village and the Miao Gu Sect have all relied on your support to do so." If it's really for the sake of the overall situation, it should really go on like this, and everyone will have peace of mind, right?"
This is almost tantamount to openly taking a stand.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the eldest disciple Miao Rou, she was still as immobile as a mountain, and even had a little drunken smile on her face, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Of course, she couldn't have not heard.
Most of the people who could come today were Miao Xueyan's supporters, but three of the four disciples of Miao Hou were present, and everyone still wisely chose to blur the topic in the past, like Miao Rou, pretending not to hear.
Zhao Feikong chose to be a competent observer, and on this occasion, hiding himself is the most effective action.
Of course, he is also secretly making judgments. In the face of the dispute between Miao and Hou, most people still choose to maintain a cautious and calm attitude of watching from the sidelines, although they expressed their willingness to befriend Miao Xueyan, but that was under the premise that Miao Xueyan could succeed Miao Xueyan.
Miao Xueyan's eyes cooled imperceptibly, she was too confident, thinking that Miao Hou's position was captured. Unexpectedly, it was just such a small attitude, and these people were unwilling to show it. She began to rethink whether she had prematurely regarded the position of the queen as private.
Miao Xueyan still tried her best to stir up the atmosphere, but the banquet gradually cooled down, and everyone only cared about talking softly.
Zhao Feikong thinks that Miao Xueyan still has a huge advantage, she is just a little impatient. But Miao Rou, he can't judge for the time being.
In fact, in the whole banquet, it was not Miao Rou who was most neglected, but Zhao Feikong and Ming Delirium.
Miao Yinghan was right, the Miao Gu Party Association didn't have a good impression. Miao Xueyan took advantage of the reason to pick up the wind for herself, probably just to find an opportunity to start, or to use this opportunity to win people's hearts quietly.
The Miao people have always been free and unfettered. The Miao Gu faction has been suppressed by the association for many years, and it is inevitable that there will be resentment in their hearts, not everyone can think further and further like Miao Yinghan.
In the eyes of the Hmong, perhaps the association is more like a distant threat, which is not obvious when they are still unstable internally, and once they solve their problems, this threat will become glaring.
Since Zhao Feikong has joined the association, he has to think about the future of the association.
At this time, the fourth disciple Miao Yiling arrived.
Although Zhao Feikong had a premonition, it was inevitable that he would be a little unnatural at this time. That's right, the girl who raised a group of poisonous corpses in Mount Tai is the fourth disciple of Miao Hou - Miao Yiling.
Miao Yiling held a soft whip, with anger on her cheeks, and as soon as she came in, she picked up a cup from the table casually, drank all the water in it, ignored anyone, and sat down with an empty seat.
Miao Xueyan hid the boredom on her face, and asked pretendedly, "Little junior sister, who made you unhappy?"
Miao Yiling suddenly walked up to Miao Rou and stretched out her hand: "Give me back the things!"
She came with a fierce momentum, and when everyone heard about it, it also involved the fight between the two disciples of Miao Hou, and at this sensitive time, it was difficult to recognize people's attention.
Miao Xueyan suddenly became interested, and before Miao Rou could reply, she immediately walked over and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Senior sister tell me, don't make a misunderstanding." ”
Miao Xueyan didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, Miao Yiling glanced at her, and continued to say to Miao Rou: "Why didn't you return the Gu mother who accepted my Flying Insect Gu!"
Miao Xueyan didn't expect Miao Rou to be such a cautious person to take such an important thing from others. Thinking that it was not easy, she stopped talking.
Everyone present was also taken aback. The importance of the Gu Mother to the Gu Master is clear even to outsiders like Zhao Feikong. Miao Rou's move is tantamount to directly tearing her face with Miao Yiling and completely fighting each other.
Others didn't dare to speak out, but Miao Yinghan pulled the two apart with drunkenness: "Senior sister, you have always been willful, this time you must have offended your senior sister, and senior sister made a little joke with you." Why take it seriously?"
Miao Rou stood up with a smile, she usually looked very gentle, but at this time, her eyes seemed to be shining with a cold light: "You dare to be a Gu to the same door, don't think that Miao Hou can't discipline you now, you can do whatever you want, I am just a small punishment this time." ”
The word "Miaohou" was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads, and several people couldn't help but shiver.
Miao Yiling's anger suddenly disappeared by half, and she involuntarily lowered her volume: "You hurry up and return the Gu mother to me!"
Miao Rou didn't answer, turned around and left the banquet.
The scene was silent for a while.
Zhao Feikong's brain began to calculate quickly. Because, Miao Rou gave him a look before leaving.
It seems that it was Lao Chen who played a role.
