Chapter 193: Great Birthday
readx;? Today is the sixtieth birthday of Nangong Zhou's grandfather, Nangong Zhenlun, the person in power who is the largest force on the continent today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoEarly in the morning, the Nangong family began to congratulate guests.
Being able to enter the Nangong family to celebrate his birthday is a great honor in itself, which is not only a symbol of status, but also a wordless affirmation of a person's success in life.
As long as they can enter the gate of the Nangong family, whether they are received by the housekeeper or the general manager, as long as they can successfully send the congratulatory gifts, they will all be happy, enough to boast for half a lifetime.
And those distinguished guests who were personally received by Nangong Tianyu, the only son of the patriarch, even smiled their faces into chrysanthemums, which is a big face. As for Nangong Tianyu's explanation, because of his grandmother in the hall, his father was not going to hold a congratulatory banquet, and everyone felt that it should be reasonable, and it was worthy of being a loyal and filial heirloom.
As for Nangong Zhou, it was three poles in the sun, so he invited Dongfang Yu, Shen Kun and Long Qi to take a flying boat to his grandfather's main hall. The main hall has long been newly furnished, red everywhere, and spotless.
The hall was very empty, because there were only fifty-one sets of tables and chairs. Except for the dark green Nanyang Warm Jade patriarch throne in the center of the head, the other seats are all high-backed chairs, and the table in front of each person is in the shape of a long strip, but the area is no less than that of the Eight Immortals Table. At this time, the rare spirit fruit and spirit wine had been prepared, and it was only a hot dish away from the opening of the banquet.
Nangong Zhou turned around the hall eight times with his hands behind his back, he really couldn't find any fault, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and forced Dongfang Yu and Shen Kun to sit in the first and second seats respectively, and he sat opposite Long Qi. Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing
After a while, the same enthusiastic little uncles and aunts came one after another, and a few of them actually met at the Huahu wine party a few days ago, and they had to exchange pleasantries.
Nangong Miaomiao, Nangong Yilan, Nangong Xiao, Nangong Gui, Nangong Kuan, Nangong Zuoshuai, and Nangong Chang came one after another, including those who sincerely recounted the past, and those who showed their displeasure when they saw Dongfang Yu and others.
There was still nearly half an hour before noon, and everyone had already arrived. In Dongfang Yu's somewhat strange gaze, Nangong Gui, the defeated general of his subordinates, actually came to his side with a cold and arrogant young man.
This young man is about 20 years old, with white skin and red lips, a face like a crown of jade, a straight and straight nose, thin and oblique eyebrows, quite like the "male number one" in Dongfang Yu's costume drama in his previous life.
Nangong Gui seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment of the defeat a few days ago, and said with a laugh: "Dongfang Yu, a few days ago, I was overwhelmed, and I actually fought with the second-grade soul master, which was really humiliating. However, at today's banquet, there must be a martial arts competition. This is my eldest brother Nangong Yilong, who is also a soul martial arts double cultivator and a second-grade soul master. Can you give me a chance to get my eldest brother back some face for me?"
Dongfang Yu's heart is already on fire, and the clay figures have three points of fire, let alone him? This Nangong Gui has repeatedly made difficulties, and every time it is aimed at him, can he not be angry? However, this person is an elder of Nangong Zhou after all, he does not want to lose his manners, suppresses his anger, gives a deep salute, and says: "The seniors have a life, and if the elders allow it, of course Xiao Ke is willing to cheer up the banquet." ”
Nangong Yilong smiled evilly and said, "Very good, you can be careful to protect yourself, if your brain is injured, you can't make poems." Haha, just kidding, don't be nervous. ”
Dongfang Yu's eyes were shining with red, and he said in his heart, this Nangong family can't stay, it's younger than others everywhere, and if it's damaged, it can't fight back, it's depressed.
He couldn't fight back, someone could. Shen Kun didn't care about the elders or not, and immediately made sarcastic remarks: "It's not certain, maybe some people have opened their minds after their brains are injured, and they don't know how to make poems, but they have become writers." Aren't you right, Ryuchi?"
Nangong Yilong was just about to be angry, but suddenly found that the little black fat man didn't even look at himself, and was obviously talking to another handsome young man. And the young man's reply was even more annoying, and he only listened to him: "What the second brother said is reasonable, Xie Kuixing, the champion of this dynasty, was a fool before he was ten years old, and he was carried by his mother to collect firewood outside the village, and accidentally fell into a dry well, and he became a Wenqu star. This matter is known to all dynasties. His family's village well has been named "Wenjing" by the imperial court, and a high fence has been built to seal it, but it still can't stop the infatuated parents from throwing their children inside. Every year, a few poor ignorant people die, and the court can't do it, so the well is filled. ”
Long Qi's face was serious, and he spoke eloquently, like a few treasures. Shen Kun laughed so obscenely that his face turned into a black bread. was so angry that Nangong Yilong wanted to vomit blood. But people didn't look at him, they just ignored him, and they were so angry that they slammed their sleeves and returned to their seats.
Nangong Miaomiao covered her mouth and smiled like Xiao Yangchun, these friends of Zhou'er are too cute.
At this time, the servants sent steaming delicacies, and the beautiful maids poured wine for everyone like flowers and willows, and they all knew that the patriarch was coming.
Sure enough, the wine was just full, and Nangong Zhen was dressed in a pale and scattered light fur, and Shi Shiran went to the treasure chair and took a seat.
Everyone led the descending salute in Nangong Zhou to pay homage, and chanted: "Immortal wealth is eternal, longevity and Tianqi and so on." ”
Nangong Zhenlun is a qualified patriarch, but he is only a qualified patriarch in "peacetime", or in the case of a smooth family situation. In fact, he was very weak and too compassionate.
Obviously, someone else hired a killer to kill his only grandson, but when he knew that Ancestor Nangong Shanque planned to use iron-blooded means to eradicate all possible enemies, he relented. Even though he hadn't done anything, he felt that he was a sinner in his family, and that forty-seven of his dearest sons and nephews would die at his hands.
If he could be exchanged, he would rather die himself than kill so many relatives by mistake.
Now, looking at the prostrate children, his heart trembled, and his eyes seemed to have hazy.
However, what is even more cruel is that he still has to force his face today, and even he has to make this banquet as long as possible, because this is the only chance to find the rebel.
Finally, Nangong Zhenlun waved his hand and said, "Okay, today's ceremony is all for now." From now on, everyone is neither big nor small. Usually the clan is busy, and I don't have time to drink with you, but today, everyone will drink to a good heart's content. Come, don't use the true yuan, drink the first bowl of wine for me first. ”
The sons and ladies were flattered, obviously thinking that the patriarch was too approachable today, and hurriedly raised their glasses to drink when they heard the words.
Dongfang Yu gulped down monkey wine, thinking, too rich. In my previous life, I had heard of drinking golden wine, and in terms of value, compared to this, golden wine is simply a processed product.
Seeing that everyone had drunk the wine, Nangong Zhenlun stroked his beard, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Come, after drinking the second glass, everyone will start to offer gifts." I am the patriarch, everyone is the future of the family, everyone should think about a word of advice for the family business or future development when giving gifts, talented people can write poems, but the emphasis is on the reasonableness of the suggestion, useful. After the gift, the second round will be suggested by everyone, among which the most wonderful person will naturally have a grand prize. ”
