Chapter 95: It's here, don't move around
The atmosphere in the box was dreary for a while.
When it comes to Shen Qingming's mother, in fact, most people don't have any impression, even Li Wanqing, who is the oldest person present, has an impression of Shen Yue'e only limited to a few chance encounters when she was a child, she only remembers that she is a gentle and virtuous beautiful woman with a smile on her face, and in any case, she can't see that she is one of the culprits who resolutely broke off relations with the family and caused the Shen and Li families to break off their relationship.
Therefore, in Shen Yue's later years, what kind of mentality she had towards the family, except for the parties concerned, no one could say clearly. At this time, listening to Shen Qingming, I couldn't help but feel the regret of the woman who was desperate for love before she died.
Love and family are both treasures worth cherishing, but Shen Yue'e must give up one of the two...... Shen Yue'e died at a young age, and it didn't have anything to do with this matter. Otherwise, no matter how much she overconsumes her mind, she will not pass away at the peak of her life.
And Shen Qingming's persistence at this time is easier to understand, her growth environment since childhood, and the people in the Li family's compound are clear. has such a father who is proficient in human feelings, and a frank and kind stepmother, it can be said that Shen Yue'e, the mother-in-law, has always been the only comfort for the girl. Therefore, Shen Yue's last wish, Shen Qingming does have the motivation to complete it at all costs.
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine...... Even if there is any accident, we still have the invincible Extraterrestrial Divine Sword in the world. Li Wanqing gently persuaded her.
Shen Qingming couldn't help laughing: "It's because I'm worried that there will be problems, who knows if he will talk and do things randomly." ”
It is ridiculous for an ignorant human being with an intelligence index of only 3.3 to question the Extraterrestrial Sword Spirit with an intelligence index of 9 points. But neither Li Wanqing nor Li Chaolu objected.
With Wang Jiu's "human affection", it is indeed not strange to say or do anything on such an occasion......
Thinking of this, even Shen Qingming himself was a little inexplicably worried, with Wang Jiu's usual style, after the birthday banquet began, he ran to Shen Ruoshi and said: Little ghost, I rode your ancestor back then, this is your New Year's money...... It's not impossible!
"Ah Jiu, the banquet will start later, I will go to the inner hall on the first floor for the banquet, you are here, don't move."
——
After getting Wang Jiu's promise that he would never make a mess, Shen Qingming could finally breathe a sigh of relief and go to the banquet with peace of mind.
Although the sense of uneasiness in her heart is still strong, Shen Qingming decided that even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, she must break through today, and besides, her mother's biggest dream before her death is to reconcile with the family, as a daughter, Shen Qingming must fulfill her mother's last wish no matter what, even if there is only a small glimmer of hope, she must go all out to fight for it.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the box, Shen Qingming was full of excitement, his heart was pounding faster, and then he quickly stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and asked, "Has the birthday banquet started?" ”
The waiter's face was embarrassed, and he first shook his head: "There is still about half an hour, mainly ...... Mr. Xinyu He just held the incense burner and ...... in the bathroom"
"Oh, that fat man can be dealt with by you. The banquet has begun, and you will call me again. Shen Qingming felt like she had been deceived by someone, so she breathed a sigh of relief tiredly, waved her hand, and let Li Xinyu fend for himself.
After about half an hour, a waiter came to lead the three women to the inner hall on the first floor for a banquet. Wang Jiu followed Shen Qingming's instructions and stayed in the box without moving. When the three girls left, they saw a water screen projection on the cabinet not far from the dining table and began to play a promotional video.
"Huh, war elephant propaganda video?" Wang Jiu took a look at it and felt that the content was wonderful, and the promotional video in just a few minutes was extremely exciting, obviously written by professionals.
In the past in the Kyushu era, the fashionable pioneer Qingzhou had more technical means and professional techniques than this projection promotional film, but it was far inferior from the perspective of the passion of the creator contained in the film.
So, when Wang Jiu was alone in the box to seriously investigate the war elephant complex of the people of Shencheng, the birthday banquet officially began in the inner hall on the first floor.
——
The birthday banquet of the city lord of Shencheng did not arrange any small links, nor did he have any lengthy leadership speeches, and when all the guests entered one after another under the leadership of the waiters, more than a dozen round tables had already been automatically presented with sumptuous dishes.
Then, Shen Ruoshi walked to the center of the inner hall in the eyes of everyone, raised a wine glass, and said angrily: "Thank you for enjoying the light and going to the banquet today, I won't say any extra polite words, presumably you are not interested in listening to an old man's nonsense, so I will pay tribute to you here first, and then, please enjoy the wine and food!" ”
As Shen Ruoshi drank a whole glass of spirits and put down the empty wine glass, the atmosphere in the inner hall suddenly became lively, and the guests also picked up their wine glasses and drank the wine boldly, and then the applause and noise were everywhere, the cups, plates and saucers collided endlessly, and the entire inner hall was like a huge wok, constantly bursting with amazing heat.
The city lord Shen Ruoshi did not have the mystic demeanor of the dragon on weekdays, holding a silver cup symbolizing the supreme status of the city lord in his left hand, and a huge wine jar in his right hand, constantly wandering around the venue, chatting with familiar guests.
In the eyes of outsiders, this high-ranking and earth-shattering city lord really doesn't have any shelf at the banquet, as long as they are acquaintances, no matter the other party's status, strength or weakness, Shen Ruoshi is equal and cordial to entertain.
"Old man Xiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, the last time we met was 20 years ago, how is your kid?"
"Alas, don't mention it, but it's not as competitive as your sons, they are all over 40 years old and idle all day long, and their practice is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, but they don't forget to stretch out their hands and ask me for money every day! Sometimes I want to break his leg! ”
"Lao Xiang, you are old and have a son, and it is understandable to lick the calf, but a good child is pampered by you and is lawless, it is counterproductive."
"Yes, I came here to ask you what to do with this unscrupulous ......"
Shen Ruoshi took a sip of wine and said: "Your son is already in his 40s, and his mind and cultivation have been formed, and it is difficult to change it, but you are only 117 years old this year, and it is still too late to re-cultivate a few more children." ”
"It makes sense, it just so happens that my original wife is too old to have children, and it is also a good thing for me to accept a beautiful concubine for this reason."
"Wait......"
"Brother Shen, you are still smart, thanks to you for coming up with this idea, otherwise this unscrupulous son is really going to torture me to death, always, grateful, come, this glass of wine to you!"
“…… Dry! ”
——
When Shen Ruoshi was busy socializing, Shen Qingming, who should have become one of the focuses of the audience, was at a loss at this time.
Because she has indeed become the center of attention.
When the waiter led her into the inner hall, he actually brought her straight to the main table!
What is the concept of a master table? There are only 10 seats at this table, and there are more than 20 people at the head level of the high-grade faction present at this time! And several of Shen Ruoshi's biological sons, who are calling for wind and rain in Shen City on weekdays, are also sitting obediently at the next table, and even Shen Ruoshi's hand-picked heir, Shen Feihong, is sitting far away.
Those who can be served at the table must be a limited number of people with the highest status and the most worthy of attention in the eyes of the Shen family.
Shen Ruoshi's seat is in the center, and the left hand position is the Holy Sect Envoy, which is the respect for the Holy Sect that all sects and sects will have-but the Holy Sect Envoy knows his duty very well, sits in the seat without saying a word, and never steals anyone's limelight - the right hand is Shen Jinghai, who is also the first deputy city lord of Shen City.
On the left hand side of the Holy Sect Envoy is Shen Yueying, the second deputy city lord, and on the left side, it is Shen Qingming! The ranking is still above several big faction leaders who have had a friendship with the Shen family for nearly a thousand years!
The main table in the inner hall is almost the target of public criticism, and Shen Qingming's identity is extremely sensitive, so she was arranged at the main table close to Shen Yueying, not to roast people on the fire, but to buckle the brazier on people's heads!
Such a grand scene was really beyond Shen Qingming's expectations, the girl sat at the main table, and the uneasiness in her heart was almost brewing to the point of exploding.
If something is abnormal, it is a demon, and such an abnormal seating arrangement must mean that something big is going to happen.
And just when Shen Qingming was becoming more and more uneasy, she suddenly heard Li Wanqing's secret words from not far away.
"Qingming, things are indeed a little weird, I can't contact Shen Ying."
"Shen Ying?" It really took Shen Qingming some time to find the gossip king who had a very weak sense of existence from his memories.
She ...... What's wrong? ”
"I was supposed to meet and exchange before the birthday party...... intelligence, but she hasn't been in touch for a few days. ”
"What's wrong?"
"She is the Shen family, what do you think can happen in Shen City? Her own cultivation is not bad, and she has an empty body, ordinary people can't find her, she is a little alert, how could something happen? ”
Hearing this, Shen Qingming couldn't help but be shocked: "Then what do you think ......?"
However, before she and Li Wanqing could continue, someone suddenly handed over a glass of wine beside her.
"Light tea, come, toast you."
Shen Qingming was stunned, turned her head, and saw Shen Yueying's melancholy face.
