Volume 2 The Family Banquet of the Shen Mansion Chapter 67 The Banquet
On the second day, unitary time.
Shen Fu Family Banquet.
It has been ten years since the last time the Shen Mansion held a family banquet, and many people thought that the Shen Mansion would no longer hold a family banquet, but the Shen Mansion held a family banquet again, and even invited all major families to come to the banquet.
Many of the guests who had already come were curious about who would come and who would be sent.
"Xu Yuzhi, the general of Yufang City, came to the banquet with his attendants! Please be seated! Shen Fu stood at the door and shouted loudly into the courtyard, his voice loud and resounding through the sky.
Xu Yuzhi, who was dressed in a red robe and wore a long sword at his waist, walked in with a group of entourage, although he was only fifty or sixty years old, he was handsome and majestic, with a pair of eagle eyes as sharp as a knife, and his momentum was compelling.
"Marshal Shen, long time no see!" Xu Yuzhi smiled and said to Shen Chuqing, who was standing in front of the steps waiting for him to sit down, with a very polite and respectful attitude.
Shen Hao hurriedly returned the salute: "General Xu, don't come unharmed?" ”
"Haha, thanks to the marshal's concern, I'm still the same, but you look stronger than before!" Xu Yuzhi laughed and patted Shen Chuqing on the shoulder, and then took his entourage to find a place to sit down.
"The head of the Bai family in Tianbei City, Bai Bei, came to the banquet with Mrs. Bai! Please take a seat! ”
Unexpectedly, the first of the five great families to come was the Bai family in Tianbei City, far away.
"The head of the Bai family has worked hard from afar!" Shen Chuqing exchanged names with Bai Baibei and invited Mrs. Bai to sit down.
"Don't dare, Marshal Shen is really hard, I'm tired of Marshal Shen to greet us personally!" Bai Bei also said modestly.
"It should be! You're welcome! The two of you have come from afar, please come to your seat. ”
"Mo Jingyuan, the head of the Mo family in Donghai City, brought the disciples of the sect to the banquet! Please take a seat! ”
"Song Wende of the Song family in Bainan City came to the banquet with his disciples, please take a seat!"
"Lin Tiangang of the Lin family in Xihe City came to the banquet with his disciples, please take a seat!"
Every time a distinguished guest came, Shen Yufu had to shout, shouting more than a dozen times in a row, and his voice was a little hoarse, and many people had already filled the seats, leaving only two empty seats at the main table. But the owners of the two vacant seats had not yet arrived, and Shen Yufu looked at Shen Chuqing, as if to tell that no one would come to the spare table.
Shen Chuqing understood what he was thinking, so he shook his head slightly at him to signal him not to be impatient.
At this time, there were two more neighing of horses at the door, and I saw an old man and a young man standing on their horses. They carried swords on their backs, and the older one was a skilful rider who easily grasped the reins of his horse, while the other was a little clumsy and nearly fell off his horse because he was so eager.
"Who are these two........" Shen Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Shen Chuqing.
Shen Chuqing was stunned for a moment: "I don't know these two either..."
"Who are these two?"
"I don't know..."
As soon as the two people at the door got off the horse, they attracted everyone's attention and guessed their identities.
"Heaven Casting Heaven Pavilion Sword Casting Heavenly Master Zhong Wu." The old man's voice was vigorous and powerful.
"Casting Heaven Pavilion Casting Sword Earth Master Zhong Xu." The boy is as clear as jade.
"Entrusted by the pavilion master, I am here for a banquet!"
"Heaven Casting Pavilion!" The distinguished guests in the hall exclaimed in a low voice, with different expressions, no one expected that the world's first sword pavilion would actually come to the southwest city for a banquet.
"This Shenfu family banquet was originally by the pavilion lord himself, but the pavilion master is forging a heavenly sword, so he can't come to the banquet. That's why we both were sent. Zhong Wu explained.
Those distinguished guests quickly understood the intention of the Casting Heaven Pavilion, and they wanted to use this Shenfu family banquet to inform the world that there was another good sword in their pavilion. Zhutian Pavilion did this, as the host of the banquet, what would Shen Chuqing think?
Shen Chuqing shouted: "Casting Heaven Pavilion Sword Casting Master Zhong Wu and Zhong Xu, come to the banquet!" Take your seats! ”
The two nodded, then walked calmly up the steps and sat down in full view.
"Since the two seniors of the Heaven Casting Pavilion have already arrived, who else hasn't arrived?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"Only the people of the Huang family are left in the future, and I don't know if they will come."
After 'Zhong Wu' sat down, he looked at him and said with a wicked smile: "Second goods, if the pavilion master of the Casting Heaven Pavilion knows that we are pretending to be their swordsmith to participate in the family banquet, if we go to ask for swords in the future, will we drive people out?" ”
"If you want to know, it's just after the banquet is over, you go and ask
You see. 'Zhong Xu' said calmly, not taking the ridicule of "Zhong Wu" in his eyes at all.
Zhong Wu pouted: "Then forget it." ”
The front yard is bustling, but the backyard is calm.
"Your Royal Highness, the hour is almost up, we should go to the front yard for a banquet."
"Hmm." The girl in a green dress, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a beautiful face heard this, bowed her head slightly, and then followed the maid to the front yard hall
Let's go.
In the main hall of the front yard, the guests chatted and laughed happily.
When the girl stepped into the hall, all eyes turned to her and there was a lot of discussion.
"Isn't this Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess?"
"Yes, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is also here?"
"How is this possible......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, today was the emperor's grandfather who came to the banquet, but the emperor's grandfather had to delay it temporarily, so let me come to the banquet instead of him." The girl smiled and looked around, and said in a soft tone.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Shen Chuqing cleared her throat: "Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess came to the banquet on behalf of Her Majesty, please take a seat!" ”
The maiden made a standard court ritual to the crowd, then gracefully walked to the upper seat and sat down slowly.
"Master, something happened at the border, I'm afraid the prince and his wife won't be able to come back tonight." Shen Yufu quietly reminded beside him, "Guests, they've been waiting for a long time, or let's have a banquet." ”
Shen Chuqing nodded and sat down.
"Let's have a feast!" Shen Fu said loudly.
"Wait!" A gruff male voice interrupted the upcoming family feast.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they looked towards the door.
A man stood at the door, led by a man wearing a black embroidered gold python suit and a gold silk mask on his face, which covered half of his face, revealing only a pair of deep dark eyes.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Shen asked Fufu.
"Huang Xuyi of the Huang family in Zhongnan Yue, come to the banquet."
