Chapter 33: Above the Birthday Banquet
Tang Xun came to the vestibule, it was really lively here, the banquet was almost full of the entire vestibule, the guests were one after another, in an endless stream, Tang Xun heard all the birthday celebrations and cold noises, and every guest seemed to be respectful. Before he was here, he had heard the gongs and drums, but now that he was here, seeing the scene in front of him made him see what prosperity is.
"No wonder the Tang Sect can confront the Jade Jiao Sect, it turns out that there are so many people from the rivers and lakes to help. Tang Xun muttered to himself.
It was the grandest scene he had ever seen, and it was even more prosperous than what he had seen when he went to Gucheng.
There are many big names of various sects worshipping each other here, although Tang Xun doesn't know what sect they are, but what is certain is that he can't afford to provoke any of these people.
The entire vestibule was full of people, Tang Xun took a look, and stood in a corner, maybe this was the most suitable position for him.
He just stood there alone, quietly watching the people seem to care about each other.
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded in his ears: "You are Tang Xun, right?"
He turned his head to see that it was a strange girl, she was not very beautiful, but she was more beautiful than the ordinary woman. The fragrance on her body was very strong, and it was very close to Tang Xun, which made him nervous all of a sudden.
Tang Xun took two steps back and said, "You, who are you?"
"My name is Tang Ni, I have been outside before, this time the head of the family is 80th birthday, I came back on purpose. She smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"Oh, then how do you know my name?"
"Listening to what the people in the door said, I heard that you are the only son of Grandmaster Tang Shanhai, you must be very powerful. ”
"Well, I'm not great. Tang Xun scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Don't be modest!"
"I ......"
"It's too boring here, and the feast will be a little while, so you can go for a walk outside with me. ”
"Me?"
"yes. ”
"We don't know each other, but we still ......"
"I don't know each other, but don't we know each other! Oh, my friends have gone to celebrate the birthday of the head of the family, and I'm too bored to be alone, so you can accompany me." Tang Ni took his arm and lied to him.
Tang Xun's face turned red all of a sudden, he withdrew his arm, took two steps back, and said, "This ...... Or ......"
"Or what, is it possible that you're afraid that I'll kidnap you?"
"No, no, no. ”
"Let's go, then. ”
Tang Ni took his hand and walked out of the front court, Tang Xun had no choice but to follow.
The two came to the backyard and walked side by side on a secluded path. Along the way, the two had nothing to say, but Tang Xun couldn't stand the fragrance on Tang Ni's body, and kept sneezing, and Tang Ni on the side glanced at Tang Xun beside him from time to time, and kept snickering.
Tang Xun received such a "warm invitation" from a girl for the first time, so he naturally didn't know how to deal with it, on this uninhabited path, he felt very embarrassed, very nervous, and his heart was pounding.
Suddenly, Tang Ni stopped, put away his smile, looked directly into Tang Xun's eyes, and said, "I want to give you something." ”
"What, what?" Tang Xun also stopped, he was a little embarrassed by Tang Ni's gaze, and deliberately turned his gaze to the side.
Tang Ni was silent, and then she suddenly grabbed Tang Xun's neck with a pair of jade arms, closed her eyes, totoed, and kissed him.
Tang Xun's eyes widened, and he was frightened, feeling that he was dreaming.
He didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to move at all.
"It's bitter, it's bitter. ”
He only felt that the bitterness in his mouth was getting worse and worse, like a thread that penetrated into his mouth, and finally bitter to his stomach and intestines.
"Poon!" Tang Ni let go, opened his eyes and looked at Tang Xun, his face flushed slightly.
Tang Xun was still there, completely frozen.
"Hey, what are you doing in a daze?" Tang Ni called softly.
"Ahh Tang Xun came back to his senses, and when he looked at Tang Ni, his face turned even redder.
Tang Ni hid his face and smiled, and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
"Oh, yes. ”
Tang Xun followed behind Tang Ni, never daring to go up, the scene just now made him dreamlike, now after coming back to his senses, he felt that it was not true, but he had to believe it, after all, the bitterness in his mouth was still there, and there was something rolling in his belly, which made him want to go to the thatched house.
Tang Xun resisted the urge to go to the thatched house, going to the thatched house at this time was indeed a way to escape, but it was too embarrassing to use this reason.
They were walking and walking, and at the fork in the road in front of them, two people suddenly turned around, Tang Xun looked up, it was Tang actually and Tang Xing.
After Tang actually saw Tang Xun and Tang Ni, he threw a vicious gaze at them.
Tang Ni saw Tang Ju and then stepped forward to salute and said, "Tang Ni has seen the little young master." ”
Tang actually said disdainfully: "Sure enough, things gather in kind, people in groups, sluts and sluts walk together, it's really a good match." ”
Hearing this, Tang Xun's heart was furious, he frowned, and wanted to make a move, but he endured it.
"When you see Young Master Ben, don't you still salute?" Tang actually reprimanded Tang Xun.
Tang Xun was motionless, his eyes were like a tiger wolf, and he looked at Tang in four eyes.
Seeing this, Tang Xing pointed to Tang Xun and said, "What about you, are you deaf or dumb?"
Before Tang Xun could react, Tang actually said again: "Oh, I forgot, you are the son of Grandmaster Tang Shanhai, you don't have to salute me, the grandson of the head of the family, Tang Qiushan." ”
Tang actually looked at Tang Xun, snorted heavily, then glanced at Tang Ni, and then turned to leave.
After he had completely left, Tang Ni got up, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and then continued on her way.
"You seem to be afraid of him?" Tang Xun asked behind him.
"He is the grandson of the head of the family, so I should be respectful of him. ”
"Do you have any problems?"
Tang Ni was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out a smiling face and said, "Bitter? How can it be?" You think too much, I still have some old people to meet, I'll go first." ”
She quickened her pace and quickly left Tang Xun's line of sight.
Tang Xun stood alone on the path, frowning, and thought, "She is probably close to me because I am the son of the grandmaster, if so, then she may be disappointed, and my identity will be exposed sooner or later." ”
In less than an hour, the feast began.
Tang Xun sat and picked a position at the end, this place is the most inconspicuous, few people pay attention to it, and it can also avoid trouble.
The vestibule was full of large round tables, and each table was full of wine, vegetables, vegetables and fruits, and it could be seen that Tangqiu Mountain was still very concerned about his 80th birthday.
Tang Ni came from behind and sat next to Tang Xun.
"You, why are you sitting here?" Tang Xun was very strange, he felt that she should sit in the front row.
"Why can't I sit here?" Tang Ni retorted.
Tang Xun looked at her, not knowing what to say, but when he thought about Tang Ni's performance when he met Tang Ji before, he understood a little.
"Okay, you sit here. ”
"Hey, hey. ”
Tang Xun didn't mind where she sits, but if she sat next to him, the smell of her body would make him sneeze again.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Ni sat down, Tang Xun began his sneezing journey.
Directly in front of the vestibule, on the terrace, there is a large table, and it is Tangqiu Mountain that sits at the top. At this moment, his face was kind and smiling, and he did not see his usual shrewdness at all.
There was a young man in white sitting beside him, who looked like a fairy and a bone, unusual, and it could be seen that Tangqiu Mountain was very fond of him.
Next to him, it was Tang Actually who didn't seem to be in a good mood, trying to squeeze out a smiling face to face everyone, but everyone was attracted by the young man in white and had no time to take care of him.
The other middle-aged men and old men at this table are all peers and juniors who are extremely close to Tangqiu Mountain, as well as juniors.
"Today is the 80th birthday of the head of the Tang family, I Zilongtai gave the head of the Tang family a ginseng plant, Zhang Shuzhi in this generation of the head of the Zilongtai family wishes the head of the Tang family a long life. ”
In the banquet, a man in the front row congratulated Tangqiu Mountain on his birthday, and then waved his hand, and a man in the back came forward with a wooden box in both hands, he opened the wooden box, and exposed the snow and ginseng to everyone's eyes.
As soon as the wooden box was opened, a medicinal fragrance suddenly filled the entire vestibule, and for a moment, no one paid attention to the good wine and food on the table.
"Yes, that's good. One of them inadvertently exclaimed.
Tang Qiushan also nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, accept it, the old man will come to visit in person another day." ”
"A little heart, not respect. Zhang Shuzhi sat down proudly after speaking, he was showing off to everyone, and now he was satisfied with Tangqiu Mountain's appreciation.
Tang Xun was also attracted, he had lived for more than ten years, and he had never seen such an elixir, but he soon woke up: This is all their show-off capital, what does it have to do with me?
Then he lowered his head and ate to himself.
Since Zhang Shuzhi presented the snow turn immortal ginseng, no one has continued to present his gifts, compared to this Zilongtai, the other sects have basically given some ordinary treasures, and they really don't have the face to show off on such an occasion.
For a while, the audience was silent, and Tang Qiushan was not in a good mood, he didn't expect that only one Zilongtai would send out the treasure, but today was his eightieth birthday, he really didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, so he changed the topic with a smile and said:
"Today is the 80th birthday of the old man, and I would like to take this opportunity to solemnly introduce a person to all factions in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Someone?" "Who?"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Tang Qiushan motioned to the white-clothed young man beside him to stand up, and continued: "He, his name is Tang Jinran, he is my grandson, and he is also the beloved disciple of the head of Yuanhan Mountain. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.
"Yuanhanshan!"
"Or the beloved disciple of the head of Yuanhan Mountain!"
"It's amazing. ”
"We have never heard of it, and we have been practicing until now, and another strong man has come out. ”
"As soon as he enters the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes will definitely undergo a great change again. ”
......
Tang Qiushan listened to the discussion in the audience, was very happy, and laughed unconsciously.
Tang Jinran didn't care very much, and always looked at everyone in the audience with a straight face.
Tang on the side was actually angry, he had a gloomy face, buried his head, and gritted his teeth with a rattle.
"Congratulations to the head of the Tang family, having such a loving grandson is really envious of others!" Zhang Shuzhi took the lead in standing up and bowed his hand to Tangqiu Mountain.
"Hahaha, it's falsely praised, falsely praised!" Tang Qiushan waved his hand, unable to hide his joy.
"This is the favor of God, and it is the blessing of your old age! Another man said hello to Tangqiu Mountain.
"Haha, I hope it's as you say. Tang Qiushan nodded his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
Suddenly, everyone in the audience stood up together and said in unison: "The Tang Sect will be able to prosper forever!"
The momentum was huge and deafening.
Tang Qiushan smiled and said, "Please take a seat, colleagues, please take a seat." ”
Tang Xun didn't want to stand, but if he didn't stand at this time, there would be gossip, and if he didn't want to cause trouble, he could only go with the flow for the time being.
"You're welcome, please use it!"
After Tang Qiushan said a word, everyone in the audience began to eat and drink.
Suddenly, a disciple outside the door hurriedly ran in and said, "Family master, family master." ”
"What's the matter, so flustered?"
When everyone heard the sound, they all stopped their chopsticks.
"Jade, the people from the Jade Jiaomen are here. ”
"How many of them are there at this time?"
"Three people, they said they were here to celebrate your birthday. ”
"What?"
