Chapter 33: The Birthday Banquet
"Chen'er, how is your cultivation lately?"
Ling Wujin glanced at Ling Chen, picked up a cup of tea on the table beside him, and said while drinking tea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uh...... Ok!"
Slightly stunned, Ling Chen nodded and said.
"It's okay, you rabbit cub, you frame me with this, you won't be afraid of your other brothers being ashamed. ”
Ling Wujin scolded with a smile, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and looked at Ling Chen, "You have broken through to the ninth level of qi refining in three months, this is still okay!"
Ling Chen's heart tightened, and he immediately relaxed, looking at Ling Wujin, "Dad, what is the matter with you coming to me today?"
Ling Chen definitely can't answer this question, even if it's his own father, he can't say it, he can only rot in his heart forever.
"Why, I can't come to you if it's okay?"
Ling Wujin looked at Ling Chen with a smile, and only after a half-loud voice did he slowly speak, "I'll tell you the truth, you can take a look at this!"
As he spoke, Ling Wujin picked up a red post from the table and threw it into Ling Chen's hand.
"It's ......"
Ling Chen looked at the red post in his hand, which was inlaid with a layer of platinum, which seemed to be a kind of wedding post.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!"
Ling Wujin looked at Ling Chen's stumbling appearance, waved his hand, and said, "Today is the birthday of the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion, a banquet was held, and a few of your brothers have already gone with the posts, and now you are the only ones left!"
"The city lord's daughter's birthday party, Fu Yanran!"
Ling Chen listened, and instantly remembered a person's name.
"Yes!"
Ling Wujin nodded lightly, looked at Ling Chen and said, "You are also going to this birthday party, and the younger generations of the three major families are going to go, you take the invitation, pack up, and go quickly!"
"Uh... Dad, can I not go!"
After a long groan, Ling Chen slowly spoke.
He didn't want to participate in this kind of banquet, there were too many people, and he had to give gifts when he went, and he had to talk to people about his scheming, which was really a headache.
"No, you have to go!"
Ling Wujin's face was straight, he stared at Ling Chen, and said, "You are just fifteen years old this year, and you are about the same age as that Fu Yanran, go, let's talk about your feelings, maybe you can still get her!"
"Daddy... I don't seem to have met that Fu Yanran a few times, I am not familiar with this acquaintance, and it is not easy to talk about feelings!"
Ling Chen understands now, his sister's, what kind of birthday banquet, to the younger generation of the three major families, it is clearly a banquet for relatives.
That Fu Yanran, he only has the slightest reflection, he only knows the bubbling of beauty, and he is not very familiar with the rest or something.
"What are you afraid of, you will be familiar with it when you go, this matter is not negotiable, you go immediately!"
Ling Wujin's face was solemn, he snorted coldly, clapped his hands, and suddenly the door of the hall was pushed open, and Wu Jianyun walked in front of Ling Chen with a gift box.
"The gifts have been prepared for you, take the things and go immediately!"
As soon as Ling Wujin finished speaking, he walked out of the hall and quickly disappeared.
"Seventh Master, give!"
Wu Jianyun, who was on the side, handed the gift box to Ling Chen's hand, smiled slightly, and then left the meeting hall.
"I ......"
Ling Chen took the gift box with one hand, and stood in place in a daze, for a long time, before he came back to his senses.
"Just go, isn't it just a meal, what's the trouble with this? ”
As soon as he figured it out in his heart, Ling Chen walked out of the council hall with the box, returned to the courtyard, changed into a blue robe, and walked out of the Ling Mansion.
"Seventh Master!"
As soon as he left the Ling Mansion, Ling Chen saw Wu Jianyun standing next to the stone lion on the side, with a sedan chair and several servants behind him, waiting.
"Seventh master, the sedan chair is ready, you get in the car!"
Wu Jianyun smiled and opened the curtain for Ling Chen.
"No need, I'll just walk, it's not far anyway!"
Ling Chen turned around and smiled, strode out of the Ling Mansion, turned into the street on the side, and soon disappeared.
"Suffered ......"
As soon as he walked out of an alley, Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, and only now did he remember that he didn't seem to know where the City Lord's Mansion was.
Grabbed a pedestrian and asked, looking at the strange eyes of the man, Ling Chen learned the location of the City Lord's Mansion, smiled awkwardly, and strode away.
"City Lord's Mansion, it should be here!"
After running seven or eight streets, Ling Chen came to the door of a spacious mansion, and the horizontal plaque on it was written with two big characters "Fu Mansion!"
"Sure enough, it's lively, tsk, the daughter of this city lord's mansion is a cow, and there are so many people on a birthday!"
Ling Chen stopped in place, watching the flow of people continue to pour into the Fu Mansion, and nodded in his heart.
"Stop, who's coming!"
Just as he was about to step forward, Ling Chen was suddenly stopped by two guards with knives in front of the mansion, one on the left and one on the right.
"It's an invitation!"
Ling Chen's face froze, and he took out the red post from his arms and handed it to one of the guards.
"Lingfu Lingchen! It turned out to be the seventh son of Lingfu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's strange that the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the seventh son, please inside!"
When the guard took the invitation and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed, and he bowed his head with a humble smile, and when the other guard heard this, he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, smiled and bent down, and got out of the way.
As soon as you enter the mansion, you will be crowded with people, and all kinds of characters will shuttle through the crowd with wine glasses, greeting each other, and it will be very lively.
"The Seventh Prince is here, please come with the old man. ”
Suddenly, an old man in a dark robe followed him to Ling Chen, recognized Ling Chen's face clearly, and immediately said with a smile.
"Good!"
Ling Chen nodded, handed the gift box in his hand to a servant, and followed behind the old man in the dark robe, walking towards the hall in the center of the mansion.
"Seventh brother!"
"Ling Chen!"
"It's this ...... again"
As soon as they entered the reception hall, everyone shifted their eyes and stared at Ling Chen, and a few of them even wanted to tear him apart, and exclamations and other voices suddenly came out.
"Seventh son, you play well, the old man will retire first!"
The old man in the Xuanrobe on the side was suddenly watched by hundreds of wealthy children, and he was also a little amazed at Ling Chen's attraction in his heart, said a word, turned around and left.
"Seventh brother, why are you here?"
In the corner of the hall, a young man in a black robe walked out, holding a glass of wine in his hand and a smile on his face, and walked slowly.
"Fourth brother, why can't I come, since everyone else has issued invitations, wouldn't I be disappointed if I didn't come. ”
Ling Chen laughed, picked up the wine on the table next to him, drank it all, looked at Ling Feng who came over, turned a blind eye, turned around and walked to the side again.
"You ......"
Seeing Ling Chen despise himself so much in front of everyone, Ling Feng's face changed, and soon, he calmed down, he wanted to fight with him, but he was afraid of being embarrassed, Ling Chen's strength was already well known, he didn't want to lose face in front of everyone.
"Ling Chen!"
Just sitting on a chair, two more people came out of the crowd, and suddenly everyone showed a trace of inexplicability.
Ling Chen turned his head and watched the two people walking towards him to say hello, and stood up instantly.
One of them, dressed in a white robe and holding a folding fan, had a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing, while the other was a strong man nine feet tall, with a rough face, knotted and bulging muscles, like an iron tower, striding forward.
"Lin Jinshan, Zhu Wenshan!"
The two came to Ling Chen and bowed with their fists.
"Ling Chen!"
Ling Chen returned the salute with his hand, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "Presumably, the two of them are the first day of the Lin Mansion and the Zhu Mansion, when I see them today, they are really extraordinary!"
"Hehe, Brother Chen, you can joke, how can the two of us be qualified to be called geniuses in front of Brother Chen, it is just someone else's praise. ”
Lin Jinshan, who was dressed like a white-clothed showman, hugged his fists and smiled, looking at Ling Chen.
Zhu Wenshan, who was standing next to him, was not polite, and looked at Ling Chen with a loud voice: "I heard that Brother Chen's strength is outstanding, and it is rare to see it today, so it is better for me to try Brother Chen's strength." ”
"I don't know what Brother Chen, what do you think?"
Zhu Wenshan smiled and spoke, his words were indifferent, looking at Ling Chen, his eyes were full of blazing gaze.
"Well, Brother Wenshan, forget it! Today is Miss Fu's birthday, we have to fight, I'm afraid the owner of the family will not be happy. ”
Ling Chen smiled slightly, and lightly pushed Zhu Wenshan's challenge back.
"Yes, Brother Wenshan, what Brother Chen said is extremely true, it is not appropriate here. ”
Lin Jinshan flashed with a folding fan, swaying the fan and laughing.
"you, little white face, I haven't fought with you for a long time, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, the three of us will try it here today, how about it?"
Zhu Wenshan waved his robe, and looked at Ling Chen and Lin Qingjinshan with blazing eyes.
"Ahem, Brother Wenshan, if you have to fight, go find someone else, I won't accompany you!"
Ling Chen coughed dryly, drank a glass of wine, and said slowly.
"Yes, I'm a literati, and I don't want to do anything with your vulgarity!"
Lin Jinshan smiled and raised his fan, and responded in unison.
"Hehe, Lao Tzu was just joking, not really fighting. ”
Looking at Ling Chen and Lin Jinshan's reactions, Zhu Wenshan laughed.
