Volume 2 The Family Banquet of the Shen Mansion Chapter 65 Preparing for the Family Banquet
"It's the end of spring again, and it's about to start summer, if you can't drink thousands of arrows, it's really a pity!" A middle-aged man in a green coat sat alone in the wine shop, his eyes glancing at the man in the corner, "Childe said yes, right?" ”
The man in the corner only ordered a pot of wine, a plate of side dishes, and a long sword next to the table, facing the middle-aged man's question, he shook his head lightly: "It's a pity that I didn't catch up with the days of Senya wine."
"If Childe wants to drink, I can invite you to drink. It's just a jar of thousand arrows! The middle-aged man raised his hand and knocked out the wine jug in his hand, and the wine jug flew straight towards the man in the corner, and he was about to hit it. The man just tilted his head slightly, and his right hand leaned forward, and he actually received the wine jug in his hand steadily.
"The wine of the predecessor is too expensive, I only need to drink a glass." The man poured himself a glass of wine, and then with a wave of his hand, threw the jar back.
"You're going to call me senior?" The middle-aged man grabbed the flask and shook it lightly twice, "It's the first time I've heard someone call me 'senior' in so many years." "Middle age seems to be very interesting. He picked up his glass and drank the spirits from the bowl with his neck tilted.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Commander of the Martial State Breaking Wind Army, Shen Chuqing." The man said in a deep voice.
"Haha.... Last time, you took a good sword from the Heavenly Pavilion and exchanged it for a thousand miles of purple horses with me. How, that thousand miles of purple horses are okay. Shen Chuqing laughed twice, "The executioner ghost from the Xuanwu Pavilion, Xu Fuquan." ”
"The purple horse of the predecessor is naturally taken care of, and it will be sent again in a few days." Xu Fuquan replied.
"You don't need to call me a senior, after all, you are from the rivers and lakes, and I am a person in the court, how can you call me a senior for no reason?" Shen Chuqing said with a smile.
"What should the junior call you?" Xu Fuquan asked rhetorically.
"Look at your appearance, you are the same age as my son, you can just call me Uncle Shen." Shen Chuqing patted Xu Fuquan on the shoulder, with a meaningful expression on his face.
"Let's continue to shout seniors, okay, we are not the same person after all." Xu Fuquan replied lightly.
"Cheng, you can call whatever you want, let's talk about what you want to do when you come to Southwest City today, if you want to come to make trouble for my family banquet, go home as soon as possible."
"The predecessors misunderstood, when I came down to Southwest City, I just received an invitation from an old man, so I came here, and I didn't have any other ideas." Xu Fuquan said calmly.
The corners of Shen Chuqing's mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his head and drank another glass of wine: "Oh, is it? That's a lot of heart. ”
"There is one more thing, senior Shen is not clear yet. The Xuanwu Pavilion has a new pavilion master to succeed to the throne, and I am no longer the legendary executioner. Xu Fuquan replied.
Shen Chuqing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Really?" The message that the old man received was still a little slow. ”
Xu Fuquan put down a piece of broken gold: "Thank you to Senior Shen for the wine, I can drink the Qianya wine in the southwest city." The wine is really better than the rumors, and it deserves to be famous all over the world. After finishing speaking, Xu Fuquan picked up the long sword on the table and walked out of the wine shop.
Shen Chuqing poured another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and the smile on his face gradually rose: An executioner ghost Xu Fuquan is really amazing! He slammed the jar on the table and turned away.
In the Shen family's mansion.
The huge courtyard was brightly lit, and everyone was busy preparing for the next day's feast. Many servants were busy carrying good wine from the cellar to the hall of the house.
The current head of the Shen Mansion, Shen Yufu, wiped the sweat from his forehead and scolded loudly: "Give me some sharpness for your hands and feet!" If you delay tomorrow's family dinner, you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The servants promised again and again, and did not dare to slack off.
"Sorry." A low voice called him.
"Which bastard is calling me? Don't you see that Lao Tzu is busy doing errands? The voice was noisy, and Shen Fu didn't hear the person's voice clearly, so he turned his head and scolded directly.
"Sorry, that's not going to work." The man smiled and walked slowly.
Shen Fu hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Master, Fu is wrong, please punish the master!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Shen Chuqing smiled, "It's just trivial things, why should you bother?" ”
"Thank you for your leniency."
"It's been a long time since our Shen Mansion has been so lively." Shen Chuqing suddenly sighed.
"Well, since the old man has been guarding the southwest city, the Shen Mansion has become more and more deserted." Shen Yanfu said as he pointed to the other side and shouted, "Wrong, wrong!" You don't put the wine in your hands here, bring it to me over there!" ”
"I've worked hard for you for decades, and you haven't enjoyed a few days of blessings with me." Shen Chuqing sighed.
Shen Yifu wiped his sweat again and said with a smile: "The old man is serious, although I couldn't go into battle with the old man to kill the enemy before, but now I can share the trivial things in the house for the old man, which is my blessing!" ”
"That's right, Fu. Have you seen Luo Qing? Shen Chuqing suddenly asked.
Shen Fu shook his head: "The young master has not returned since he went out at noon, and the prince has sent someone out to look for him, but there has been no news back." ”
I see. Shen Chuqing nodded, "Tomorrow's guests have all been arranged?" ”
"It's all in order. Many famous families have come, and except for the Huang family, the other four families will come tomorrow, but the emperor still hasn't written yet, and I don't know if they will send someone to come. ”
"It's up to Your Majesty whether you come or not, don't worry too much." Shen Chuqing smiled, "You go on, I won't bother." ”
"Good!"
"Hurry up and put all this wine away for me. After putting it away, everyone hurried back to rest. Don't embarrass our Shen Mansion at tomorrow's family banquet! Shen shouted loudly.
"Gotcha!" The servants replied in unison.
"Eleven, thirteen. You two work hard tonight, give me a good look here, and after tonight, there will be a lot of rewards. Shen said, pointing to the two young servants.
"Yes." The two respectfully complied.
After that, Shen and the other servants left, leaving only the two servants who were on vigil at the gate of the courtyard to prevent anyone from entering. But on the beams in the room, there were already four men in black sitting on it.
The black-clothed man led by him fell lightly to the ground, then mobilized his internal force and waved his hand violently, and the room instantly fell silent.
"Hurry up!" The leader of the man in black commanded.
The other three men in black quickly rushed to the wine jars, untied the red cloth on the wine jars, and sprinkled medicinal powder into them, and the powder melted when it met the wine.
If Xu Fuquan saw these powders, he would be familiar with them, and these would be the cold decay of Xiangmen.
Although it will not be lethal, it only needs to take a little, and the whole body is like falling into the ice, and the whole body is cold, and it is impossible to exert half of the internal strength.
After the four of them resealed the red cloth, they quietly withdrew from above the roof.
