Chapter 33: Ming Yuanfeng's "Birthday Banquet"
The blind man was dragged out of the mansion by the red-faced Hong San'er.
The words blurted out by Chen Bai made Hong San'er's cheeks crimson, and he pulled the blind man's sleeve and walked out, but he was a little happy in his heart.
When Xia Jiaoxi and Tang Shu came back, Xia Jiaoxi also looked happy, and Tang Shu still looked so free and easy.
Xia Jiaoxi walked up to Chen Bai, glanced at Liu Zizi and Ding Keke, and then said to Chen Bai in a soft voice: "Mr. Chen, I also grabbed a Lu Tianzi." ”
Although the voice was small, it was difficult to hide the joy.
When Chen Bai heard this, he looked at Xia Jiaoxi in surprise, obviously he had told Hong San'er about this in the restaurant, and Xia Jiaoxi was also next to him at that time, he really didn't expect Xia Jiaoxi to buy Lu Tianzi.
Chen Bai didn't have too many expressions, just asked plainly, "Really?" How much money was spent. ”
Xia Jiaoxi took out Lu Tianzi and said proudly: "I spent one hundred and ten silver, but fortunately, the silver money was just enough, and the price rose again as soon as I bought it." ”
Chen Bai shook his head helplessly, no matter what, since he had already bought it, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
He didn't want to blame Xia Jiaoxi, and he didn't plan to talk to Xia Jiaoxi about what happened just now, just as an experience.
It's just that Chen Bai told Xia Jiaoxi: "If you plan to sell, you can't sell it to ordinary people, you can only sell it to the Chamber of Commerce, and it is best to sell it directly to Chu's shop." ”
From the birth to the disappearance of this matter, although it is destined that someone will pay the price for participation, Chen Bai still does not want Xia Jiaoxi to be the last person to hand over the knife.
Although Xia Jiaoxi didn't understand, he still nodded yes.
.….….…
Two days later.
Ming Yuanfeng's "birthday banquet" was held as scheduled.
Lingdong Province is located in the eastern part of Lingshan, and rain is not frequent.
The rain is very magical, and it often grows talents.
It is precisely because of the lack of talents in Lingdong Mansion that Chu Fanxi can be called a must.
On this day, the wind is cool, the leaves are yellow, and the sunshine is also very good for Mingyuan Peak, come to enjoy the light.
The number of people who entered the house to "celebrate birthdays" was several times higher than in the past, and the only few domestic servants could not take care of them at all.
Many people came to Shui Changdong and Liu Zizi, and the story of the talented and beautiful woman should be a "ticket" worthy of this "birthday banquet".
Of course, these Ming Yuanfeng didn't know, but there were too many people coming, and they were indeed a little dizzy.
Originally, it was just the whole beginning, collecting some money, and in the past, these people were not polite, so it was enough to prepare simply.
Today is good, when the ceremony arrives, then you have to prepare some more food, and add tables and chairs.
As a last resort, Ming Yuanfeng could only hurriedly transfer more than a dozen government guards, remove their armor, put down their weapons, and act as domestic servants.
After Ming Yuanfeng transferred the guards, he let the others be busy, and he was polite to the people who came to congratulate him.
Tang Shu is not from Lingdong Mansion. I have lived in the capital for a long time, and I came to Lingdong Mansion this time because Chu Fanxi and Fifth Hill were too close, and I wanted to come over to see how much connection the Chu family had with Houhai. There was no plan to develop in Lingdong Mansion, so he did not accompany Ming Yuanfeng to greet visitors, but drank tea in the pavilion with Chen Bai and the others.
The pavilion, from the bottom to the top, is about two zhang high, and it is a common hexagonal spire pavilion.
The hexagonal cornices are like a half moon, and they are like birds spreading their wings.
The leisure of the three of them seemed out of place with the bustle around them.
As for Liu Zizi and Ding Keke, since the day before yesterday, these two have been like a pair of best friends, inseparable.
Accompanied by Liu Zizi, Ding Keke's mood gradually improved, and he slowly had some lively waves of a five-year-old child.
The two wandered around the house, forming a different scenery.
Men, some have seen Liu Zizi, some have not, but now when they see Liu Zizi like this, the scene of playing with children, they all show great yearning.
As for the female dependents, most of them are speculating who Shui Changdong is, after all, he is talented and wealthy, and if he looks good, it will be even more intoxicating.
.….….…
It was almost noon, and Chu Fanxi came.
The fifth mound is in front, Chu Fanxi and Chu Sanye are on its left and right.
Most of the people present knew Chu Fanxi and Chu Sanye.
After seeing that these two people were still slightly behind, they all expressed their incomprehension.
Especially those female dependents, although Chu Fanxi and Fifth Qiu are both gorgeously dressed sons. But obviously, Chu Fanxi, who was born with peach blossom eyes, was much more pleasing, and after seeing Chu Fanxi's sweet house, the women exchanged their heads and whispered and discussed.
After Chu Fanxi and the three of them entered the mansion, they did not sit down, and Chu Sanye went to greet Ming Yuanfeng with a big belly.
And Chu Fanxi and Fifth Hill walked straight towards the pavilion.
Tang Shu saw Chu Fanxi coming, his face showed quite impatience, even if the two were classmates, but Tang Shu's unfriendliness towards Chu Fanxi has always been on the surface.
If it weren't for the fact that he was also half a master, and Chu Fanxi was a guest, Tang Shu wouldn't even want to get up.
"Brother Tang, I didn't expect you to arrive at Lingdong Mansion too. I would have come to visit earlier. Chu Fanxi said to Tang Shu with a smile on his face.
Chu Fanxi did not take the initiative to introduce the fifth hill on the side, the Tang family's blood was imprinted with the word Shushan, and the introduction would only increase the embarrassment.
Tang Shu listened to Chu Fanxi's polite words, only felt a little bored, looked at Chu Fanxi and said impatiently: "Don't be so polite. ”
Fifth Hill looked at the two of them playfully.
Chu Fanxi's purpose was not Tang Shu, so he asked directly: "May I ask Brother Tang, which one is Shui Changdong, please introduce me." ”
When Chen Bai heard that he was talking about himself, he got up and hugged his fist towards Chu Fanxi, and introduced himself with a smile: "Chen Bai is here, I don't know what is going on with this brother?" ”
When Chu Fanxi saw the person he wanted to see, he no longer spoke politely to Tang Shu, directly crossed Tang Shu, walked up to Chen Bai, and said with a smile: "In Xia Chu Fanxi, this brother belongs to the Chen family?" ”
The Chen Clan's Chamber of Commerce is no better than the Bai Clan, which can allow Chu Fanxi to threaten with the name of the Fifth Hill. So before he didn't know the details, Chu Fanxi still thought it was better to be cautious.
Chen Bai shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's not the Chen family in Brother Chu's mouth. ”
Chu Fanxi was a little puzzled when he heard this, he could raise a million dollars in cash in a short time. The surname is Chen, but he is not from the Chen Chamber of Commerce, so the identity of the young man in front of him is a little incomprehensible.
But it's not easy to get to the bottom of the question, so I can only nod my head to show that I know, and then said with a smile: "Brother Chen's poem is very well written, so Chu can't bear it, and wants to come to meet and make friends." ”
There are some lively female relatives gathered next to the pavilion, after all, the meeting of the two talented people may collide with a few poems, adding some color to this day of lack of entertainment.
Chen Bai and Chu Fanxi met for the first time, although they did not agree with the price manipulation behavior of the Chu Chamber of Commerce, but there was no other enmity.
Hearing Chu Fanxi say this, he also said sincerely: "I'm just picking up people's teeth, but Brother Chu is a really talented person." ”
.….….…
Just as the two were still complimenting each other, Liu Zizi came over with Ding Keke.
Fifth Qiu saw Liu Zizi coming, his eyes lit up, the tip of his tongue tapped the corner of his lower lip, and then swallowed his saliva.
The movements on the mouth of the fifth mound, as well as the movements of the Adam's apple, were all seen by Chu Fanxi, and he became more and more determined in his heart to get Liu Zizi away from Chen Bai.
When Liu Zizi and Ding Keke passed by the side of the fifth hill, the fifth hill's eyes narrowed slightly, and they greedily breathed the breath of the girl.
It's just that there is a hint of uncomfortable smell in this breath.
When Liu Zizi and Ding Keke happened to walk under the pavilion, one of the warped corners of the pavilion suddenly broke.
The broken angle is like a sharp scimitar, and it is like a small head smashed down like Ding Coco, and the speed is far beyond the normal drop.
It was also at this moment that Chen Bai's eyebrows tightened, and the sea was shaken. His eyes were fixed on the falling warp, and he quickly moved to Ding Keco, and slapped the warp with a palm when the warp was about to land on Ding Coco's head.
At this time, the people around were frightened by this scene.
Someone exclaimed, "It's dangerous."
Someone hurriedly patted his chest to soothe the beating heart.
There were also two people who were surprised by Chen Bai's reaction, namely Tang Shu and Fifth Hill.
Although Tang Shu was a force master, he was limited to not becoming a force, and his perception of the surroundings was insufficient, and when he reacted, Chen Bai was already in front of Ding Keke.
As for the fifth hill, he let out a light "huh", and then looked at Chen Bai with sharp eyes.
The others were also attracted by the unexpected situation in the pavilion and gathered around.
Liu Zizi and Ding Keke were also taken aback, Chen Bai picked up Ding Keke, patted Ding Keke's shoulder, and then said to Liu Zizi: "Trouble Miss Liu, take Coco back to the room." ”
After speaking, he handed Ding Keke to Liu Zizi.
After Liu Zizi took Ding Keke, she glanced at Chen Bai, with a slight worry in her eyes, but she didn't say much, just nodded and left with Ding Keke in her arms.
Seeing Liu Zizi leaving, Fifth Qiu couldn't help but glance back.
Chen Bai dared to conclude that the falling off of the angle just now was caused by the man in front of him.
Not entirely intuitive, because Chen Bai vaguely sensed that there were energy fluctuations.
Seeing the fifth hill turn his head to look at Liu Zizi's back, Chen Bai had already guessed the reason.
Seeing that Liu Zizi had already walked away, Chen Bai clapped his hands, removed the dust on his hands, and walked towards the fifth hill.
Walking in front of the fifth hill, Chen Bai hugged his fists and saluted, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I made Brother Tai frightened." ”
Chu Fanxi was on the side of the fifth mound, and he was also very relieved to see Chen Bai so interested.
Tang Shu looked at Chen Bai and frowned slightly, although Chu Fanxi did not introduce it, it did not mean that he did not know that this person was the fifth hill.
As for Xia Jiaoxi, he hasn't recovered from the unexpected incident just now.
Fifth Qiu squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Bai, and said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Chen Bai nodded when he heard this, looked at the fifth hill and said with a smile: "That's good, you won't have to experience this kind of danger in the future." ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Bai's eyes instantly became sharp, his teeth were clenched, and the firewood knife suddenly appeared in his hand, slashing towards the neck of the fifth hill.
