Chapter 65: Don't Give Me Mu Changge's Face?
Mu Changge smiled at his brother-in-law, and when he looked back, he found that the three patriarchs were still holding the cups in their respective hands, and they didn't taste it, so they pretended to be concerned and asked, "What?" Could it be that this drink is not to your taste? Or is it that my eighty-two years of drinking can't get into the eyes of the patriarchs of the great clans? ”
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light appeared.
Even the other patriarchs and city lords have drunk, and you don't drink it? What do you mean? Are you going to give me Mu Changge's face?
Wang Canghai didn't change color after hearing this, looked down at the strangely colored drink, which was obviously not like Sprite, and groaned for a few seconds, then drank it directly with the cup.
The drink entered his throat, his body couldn't help shaking, it seemed that he was suffering from some strange taste, although he wanted to scold his mother immediately, but after several patience, he still nodded calmly: "It tastes good." ”
Concubine Takitsuki looked at the bright red drink in her hand and hesitated, but still took a sip.
When the warm liquid entered her throat, she found that there were several fruit flavors like watermelon and orange blooming in her taste buds, her eyes lit up, she drank it all, and said with a smile like a flower: "Patriarch Mu, this drink is quite delicious, I don't know what it is called?" ”
"This thing is a new drink created by my Mu family, and it has not been named yet, so it is better to ask the patriarch of Taki to name it."
Mu Changge looked at each other with a smile, and at the same time looked up and down a few times vaguely, looking at the alluring woman in front of him with a detached temperament, generous demeanor, and outstanding posture, she nodded with satisfaction, she was a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.
Concubine Takiyue didn't think too much about it, and chuckled with a memorable smile: "It's better to call it a hundred fruit brew." ”
"A good name, let's call it Baiguo Brew."
Mu Changge smiled lightly and agreed with the name.
Concubine Takiyue put the cup down, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that there are countless treasures under the name of Mu Mansion, but I didn't expect that even the drinks and snacks are so delicious, it seems that in the future, I will have to take care of the Muyun Pavilion under the name of the Zun Mansion, plus I am a newcomer, and I have not been the head of the Taki family for a long time, so I don't know much about the situation in Gusu City, so I have to ask my seniors to take care of me." ”
"Hehe, it's easy to say, if the patriarch of the Taki clan is willing to come to my Muyun Pavilion, it will be a flourish."
Mu Changge smiled politely, and then turned his head to look at Lu Shangliang, who was holding a black rumbling coffee in his hand, and did not add any desserts and milk.
"What? Does Patriarch Lu find it difficult to swallow? ”
Mu Changge pushed his sunglasses and said indifferently.
Lu Shangliang saw that everyone had drunk it, and there was nothing wrong, so he was ruthless, and he was going to drink it all in a heroic manner, who knew that as soon as this black drink was in his mouth, it made people obviously perceive the bitter taste.
The coffee entered his throat, it was bitter and unbearable, and the tip of his tongue was numb, so he couldn't help but shiver, feeling that the whole person was about to be bitter, and he couldn't hold back the feeling of wanting to regurgitate, and said with an ugly smile: "It's still ...... Nice......"
"Hehe, as long as it suits your taste."
Mu Changge chuckled a few times as if his face changed, stroked his palm and said, "Come on, pour three more cups for Patriarch Lu!" ”
“……”
Lu Shangliang's legs weakened after hearing this, his face turned completely dark, he raised his head and glared angrily, don't go too far!
Mu Changge sneered secretly, but on the surface, he was very caring, and said with a smile: "Shangliang, you and I are old friends since childhood, who in the entire Gusu City doesn't know the intimate relationship between you and me?" Come on, come on, drink three glasses, and three more! If you don't drink it, then you won't give me face as a best friend! ”
“……”
The corners of Lu Shangliang's mouth twitched, and he didn't say a word.
Mu Chang singer held coffee, smiled and comforted: "Don't shirk anything, I'll just drink with you." ”
Is this true!?
Lu Shangliang's eyes lit up, looking at the same coffee drink in Mu Chang's singer, his heart was ruthless, do you want to die together? I'm afraid you won't make it!!
Looking at the few cups brought by the vegetable man in front of him, the liquid in them was black and rumbling, as if he was going to take the soul and eat the marrow, he raised his trembling arm and held the cup, and he was about to cry because he couldn't hold back his emotions, but under the gaze of the patriarchs and the city lord Murong Lingfeng, he still gritted his teeth and said generously: "Okay! For the friendship of you and me! I did it! ”
After speaking, three glasses in a row.
Lu Shangliang was so bitter that his face turned green, but he still pretended to be stubborn and wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Come on, it's your turn!" ”
Mu Changge smiled slightly, waved his hand to the vegetable man next to him, and under the hesitant gaze of the other party, he poured in sugar and milk leisurely, and said: "Oh, I'm in a hurry to catch up with you, but I forgot to say an important thing, this excellent coffee is extraordinary, you must add desserts and fresh milk while it's hot, stir well, so that it won't make people feel bitter and unbearable, but will be sweet and mellow, suck ......."
Mu Changge drank it all in three times in front of the other party, and nodded with a chuckle: "It tastes good." ”
“……”
Lu Shangliang was dumbfounded, you are cheating!?
He looked down at the empty cup in his hand, feeling as if he was a big stupid fork, easily toyed with by the other party in the applause, his face was black to green with anger, full of anger rose to the sky, and finally sat back in the chair without saying a word, with a gloomy face.
Mu Changge! I don't share the sky with you!!
Concubine Takiyue looked at Lu Shangliang, who was deflated, and also smiled secretly, curiously looking up and down at Mu Changge, who was in the limelight, she had long heard that the Mu family patriarch in Gusu City had been dormant for a long time, soaring into the sky, and the means were extraordinary, originally she thought that the other party was a bad old man over half a hundred years old, similar to Wang Canghai, with mediocre strength, only knowing some conspiracies and tricks, or just a little more powerful than Lu Shangliang.
I didn't expect it to be now, the other party is still a gentle and jade-like boy, and he is quite personable, although his attitude is crazy, but he also has that capital, and his appearance looks a little younger, obviously they are all patriarchs of the older generation, in terms of appearance, the patriarchs of the various families in the field don't even seem to be worthy of lifting shoes for each other.
Not bad, not bad.
Concubine Takizuki smiled meaningfully.
Mu Changge smiled, ignoring Lu Shangliang, who was secretly annoyed, also sat back on the chair in the first seat, looked around with a calm gaze, and asked: "The tea has also been drunk, and enough has been said, I don't know when the family competition should be held?" ”
The rest of the patriarchs were silent.
Wang Canghai opened his eyes, and the old god said calmly: "If it is according to the old rules of previous years, the descendants of each family need to hunt outside the county first, with the head of the spirit beast they obtained, and then pass a series of pen and ink tests, the way of management, the test of heart, all kinds of cumbersome small competitions, and finally a real big competition in the ring, each by means, the winner is king!" ”
The rest of the patriarchs, big and small, nodded in agreement.
"But ......"
Wang Canghai's voice changed, and he sneered: "This year is not as good as in the past, first the head of the Takith family has been replaced by a newcomer, and then the Mufu Muyun Pavilion has risen strongly, so far the major families in Gusu City have been affected to a certain extent, and they have no patience to continue to wait for those cumbersome process etiquette, I propose to cancel this year's pen and ink essay test, as well as the rest of the small point system, and directly gather the young talents of the various families in Gusu City to have a fair, just and open ring competition!" ”
"Well, that's a good point!"
As soon as the other party's words were finished, Mu Changge took the lead in applauding, ignoring the hesitant gazes of the rest of the people, and said with a smile: "But since it is a fair, just and open competition, then we should not stick to the rules, and simply abolish the regulations that only allow the children of the family to participate, so that the civilians of Gusu City and those outsiders who want to take root in Gusu City can also get a piece of the pie, what do you think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the major patriarchs frowned, and some people felt a little incredible.
Murong Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Mu Changge, who was full of smiles, and also sensed some conspiracy.
At present, in Gusu City, there are at least dozens of large and small families together, and most of the interests are in the hands of the Mu family, originally the Mu family even if it was just a perfunctory loss of the family competition, as long as Mu Yunge is still there, he still occupies an unshakable and arduous position, but attracting outsiders to participate in the big competition is tantamount to giving away his own cake, so that many foreign forces have joined the ranks of the scramble, this is a bloody battle that takes risks!
As long as the giants fall, the benefits can be redistributed.
It is good for all major families, Gusu City.
It's just that it's not good for the Mu family.
However, unless someone plans to overturn the table in one go, directly smash those who grab food, carry out a thorough reshuffle, and then add a new piece of cake, and distribute part of the marginal benefits to the remaining people, he will ascend to the sky in one step and realize the dictatorship of the entire Gusu City!
And in order to do this, the first thing you need is self-confidence, as well as strength!
Murong Lingfeng stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Wang Canghai frowned, and looked at Mu Changge in confusion, this move made by the other party was tantamount to self-immolation! Originally, the Mu family was the target of everyone, secretly hated by all the families, and now it has suddenly attracted a group of hungry wolf dogs from outside, this is not a plan to drive wolves and fight dogs, but real stupidity!
Concubine Takiyue frowned, and she couldn't understand what Mu Changge was thinking.
Lu Shangliang has a plan in his heart, but he maintains an objective attitude towards this, neither refusing nor agreeing.
The rest of the patriarchs are eager to start the big competition quickly, as long as the children of their family perform well in the big competition, show their due potential value, and become famous, and then be selected to enter the sect in the future, there will definitely be a place for them in the interests of Gusu City, but since the three major patriarchs did not speak, they also chose to remain silent.
In the end, it was the city lord Murong Lingfeng who broke the deadlock, he got up and looked at the many patriarchs, nodded and said: "As the lord of a city, as long as it is a proposal that is beneficial to Gusu City and does not shake the foundation of the entire city, then I will approve the screening!" Now that the patriarchs have acquiesced to the rules of this year's big competition, then according to the proposal of the Wang family patriarch and the Mu family patriarch, immediately gather the young talents among the families and civilians to sign up for the ring competition, and start the big competition at three o'clock in the morning, and the winner is the king!! ”
