Chapter 22: The Birthday of the Poisonous Dragon

"It's Xiao Zhi's birthday in a few days, how is the master going to celebrate it for him?"

Mrs. Lan lay leisurely on the couch, holding her cheeks in one hand, and looked at the poisonous dragon Zhu with a smile. As the helmsman of the poisonous dragon family, the poisonous dragon is entangled in daily affairs, and it is rare for the couple to be able to work together, so Mrs. Lan's room is harmonious, and even the girls in the room have a gentle smile on their faces.

"Hey, it's going to be a birthday again," it was the height of summer, the lotus pond in front of Mrs. Lan's door was rippling, the lotus fragrance was overflowing, and the poisonous dragon Zhu looked at the lotus flowers in the pond through the pearl curtain, and his face was full of emotion, "This lotus pond was still repaired in the year when the kid was born, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the real years are not forgiving!"

Mrs. Lan took an ink-colored blue and white bowl with a landscape pattern from the hand of the personal girl, gently moistened the tea, glanced at the poisonous dragon Zhu, and sneered: "What kind of emotion are you sighing and sighing here! I'm discussing serious things with you!"

"Ha!" Seeing Mrs. Lan frowning and glaring, Poison Dragon Zhu didn't think so, and Lang smiled: "This kid has a birthday that is more pompous than my father!"

"Oh, looking at your face, it seems that you are very unhappy to give your son a life!" Mrs. Lan glanced at the poisonous dragon Zhu, pouted and said, "Who made him the only seedling of your poisonous dragon family!"

Hearing this, the poisonous dragon Zhu pondered for a moment, then leaned in front of Mrs. Lan's couch, patted Mrs. Lan's ass with his hand, his eyes narrowed into a line, and said with a sly smile: "You can't work hard, give me another son, and extinguish that kid's arrogance!"

"Go!" Mrs. Lan had a red cloud on her face, and she reached out and gently pushed the poisonous dragon Zhu, "It's not serious, what did the girls look like!"

"What's this," Poison Dragon Zhu spread his hands and said, "The ready-made daughter-in-law is not allowed for me to touch it?"

The two were making a fuss, just when tenderness entered the door, stretched out his hand to lift the pearl curtain, only to hear the poisonous dragon Zhu say a touch, thinking in his heart that maybe something had happened in the house, standing at the door and asking, "What did you say, Dad?"

A few girls in the room couldn't hold back their laughter, but they didn't dare to laugh, their bodies trembled, and several pairs of eyes looked at tenderness at the same time.

Tenderness was a little flustered, looking at those girls smiling at herself, and somehow, thinking that she was wearing the wrong clothes, she looked down but didn't find anything wrong, looked around at the people in the room, and smiled in a daze: "What are you laughing at?"

A little girl owes her mouth, and she can't help but smile and whisper a few words in her tender ear. Hearing this, Tenderness blushed, bowed her head and said, "Dad, it's not the right time for me to come, then I'll step back first."

Since returning to the Poison Dragon Mansion, Mrs. Lan has accepted tenderness and become her goddaughter, loving and trusting her more than before. Looking at the tenderness with a shy face, knowing that the tenderness style is decent, he smiled and said: "You come back, what's the big deal, sit down and talk!"

"Oh!"

Tenderly hesitated and sat in front of Mrs. Lan, and a girl had already brought tea.

"It's definitely another matter if you're here, you don't come if it's okay, you can say something!" Mrs. Lan said with a pleasant look at her tenderness.

"Mother, that's the case, Xiao Zhi said that this year's birthday should not be as extravagant as in previous years, in previous years, the opera troupe was invited to sing a big drama for three days first, and then there were those guests, how could he toss for seven or eight days, so he was afraid of delaying the practice. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Poison Dragon Zhu and Lady Lan looked at each other, and satisfied smiles appeared on their faces at the same time.

"Then what is he going to do?" asked Mrs. Lan with a smile and a tender look.

"Xiao Zhi said, this year, those girls and mountain ghost young masters in our room, invite my father and mother to have a meal in our room, and the people outside only invite Mo Cong and Sister Bao. ”

"It's too simple, isn't it?" Mrs. Lan looked at the poisonous dragon Zhu and then at the tenderness, thinking that something was wrong.

"I'll see it's okay, it's decided like this!" Poison Dragon Zhu suddenly looked serious and nodded and said. After a moment of deep silence, he nodded again, looked at Mrs. Lan with deep eyes and said, "Madam, it seems that my son has grown up!"

"Yes, I heard that Xiao Zhi has practiced very hard this year, and it seems that he has grown a lot. Mrs. Lan's beautiful eyes revealed infinite maternal love, and she was extremely pleased with her son's growth.

"Dad, mother, it's all Mo Cong's credit, for more than a year, Xiaozhi and Mo Cong have been studying martial arts together every day, and I don't know much about what tricks they have learned. ”

"Yes!" Lady Lan's eyes gleamed with joy, "So they've reached the advanced stage of physical cultivation. After speaking, Mrs. Lan nodded silently, closed her eyes and pondered for a long time, and softly instructed Tenderness and the girls in the room: "You all retreat first, I'll say a few words to the master!"

Seeing Tenderness and the girls in Mrs. Lan's room quietly walking out of the door, Poison Dragon Zhu looked at Mrs. Lan and said, "Madam, do you want to talk about Mo Cong!"

"Yes," Mrs. Lan raised her eyes to look at Poison Dragon Zhu, a faint sadness on her face, "As soon as I see that child, I can think of the third sister because it is his eyes."

"But isn't it, that child's eyes are really exactly the same as the third sister, heh! It's a shame that he doesn't look like a member of the Gongsun family, otherwise."

"Shut your crow's mouth!" reprimanded the poisonous dragon Zhu, Mrs. Lan's eyes were deep, with tears in her eyes, and she said with a bitter face: "I really pity my third sister, how good it would be if she was still alive! Now that her son has grown so big, she can't see it, she knew that she had contacted her senior sister earlier, and things would not have come to this point, and now she doesn't dare to recognize her own nephew" Saying this, Mrs. Lan couldn't cry anymore.

"Madam, there is no need to be sad that the matter has come to this point, the top priority is to find the real culprit behind the scenes as soon as possible," the soothing lady, Mrs. Lan, the poisonous dragon Zhu murmured, "Is this really the answer to that sentence?"

"What?"

"According to rumors, the Gongsun clan will never fall, as long as there is a Miao descendant, it will make a comeback, and the Gongsun clan has a more powerful unique sect called 'Nirvana Flame' in addition to the Moon Shadow marksmanship, I don't know if it's true. ”

"I've never heard of this, but the only thing we can do now is to secretly send more people to protect Mo Cong, and I don't want to repeat the mistakes of twelve years ago. ”

"Of course, but I think the people who are with Mo Cong now are even stronger behind the scenes than our poisonous dragon family. ”

"It should be, I heard Tenderness say that it wasn't Ying Girl who taught Mo Cong's kung fu, they also had an old grandfather, but Tenderness hadn't seen it once. But I can't figure it out, suddenly killing a group of people can slaughter the Gongsun family, apart from the Nangong family and the poisonous dragon family, there is any other way in the rivers and lakes that can be more powerful than us!"

"It's not one way, it's two, and don't forget that there's another way right under our noses. ”

"Speaking of which, I'm confused, is there still a sect we don't know about in this Jianghu?"

"The sect is impossible, if you say that there are reclusive masters, there must be"

Speaking of this, the husband and wife thought of a name at the same time.

"Bamen Mountain"

"The Wizard of Martial Arts"

Poison Dragon Zhu and Lady Lan looked at each other, and the two shook their heads almost at the same time, denying their guesses. Because the existence of Bamen Mountain is still unknown, but there are people on the rivers and lakes who have threatened to be there, but they can trace back to the source but there is no trace, so Bamen Mountain is also real and illusory, making it difficult to figure out.

"Master, madam, Old Housekeeper Fang said that he has something important to see!"

The girl standing outside the door shouted loudly into the room, and next to the girl stood an old man with white hair, the old man's face was full of vicissitudes, and the pain of losing his beloved son also made the old housekeeper who had served the head of the Poison Dragon Mansion for three generations look haggard. Despite this, Old Butler Fang is still loyal, and he is old and strong, with a fluttering silver beard, plain hair and a collar, and his demeanor is still the same as it was back then.

"Let the old butler come in and talk!"

Mrs. Lan and Poison Dragon Zhu sat down separately, their faces were as usual, one with a smile on their faces, and the other with a chic and awe-inspiring face. The couple pretended to be nothing, holding fragrant tea in their hands and chatting gossip.

Seeing that the old housekeeper Fang had entered the door, Mrs. Lan and Poison Dragon Zhu hurriedly stood up and greeted, "Old housekeeper, please take a seat!" and then ordered the girl to pour tea.

Old Fang shook his silver beard, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Master, Madam doesn't have to let it, it's not a big deal, just reply to Madame, the heads of the six major sects in the north have sent birthday gifts to the little master, and the old man has already accepted it," Saying that, the old housekeeper took out a stack of gift slips from his arms, which densely recorded the gifts given by the comers, and handed the gift slips to Mrs. Lan, and the old butler's face was relieved.

The matter has been reported, but the old housekeeper has no intention of leaving, standing in the room and pondering, as if there is something unspeakable, just those gifts and the like are just to avoid the important and light.

"Is there anything else wrong with the old housekeeper?" Mrs. Lan has been dealing with the old housekeeper Fang for many years, and knows the old man's temperament very well, and when she looks at the old housekeeper's eyes, she knows that something must have gone wrong, but Mrs. Lan also knows that the old housekeeper Fang has always been honest in his work, so he has a happy face.

"Madame's forgiveness, it's not a big deal," After hesitating for a moment, Old Butler Fang looked at Mrs. Lan and Poison Dragon Zhu, lowered his head and said, "The Magic Kingdom also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift to the little young master!"

Hearing this, Poison Dragon Zhu looked at Mrs. Lan and then at the old butler, and laughed loudly: "Ha! The emperor of this magic kingdom is really interesting, the two countries shook hands and made peace that year, and on the day of signing the contract, it was just in time for Mrs. to give birth, and the emperor heard that he only said that Poison Dragon Zhi was the lucky star of their magic kingdom, and said that he would give a big gift if he said anything, and said that as long as the Wulin Continent can abide by the contract, he will prepare a congratulatory gift for Xiaozhi's birthday every year, and more than ten years have passed, he is really a golden mouth, and he really deserves to be the king of a country!"

"Anyway, people are also emperors," Madame Lan smiled slightly.

Seeing the two of them smiling, Old Butler Fang had a hard time in his heart, so he only echoed and barely squeezed out an ugly smile, and hesitantly took out the gift list of the magic country and handed it to Mrs. Lan.

"Oh, there's no shortage of things to give"

After reading the gift list, Mrs. Lan smiled. Blink an eye at the old housekeeper Fang and said: "After collecting so many things in the morning, the old housekeeper must be tired, the old housekeeper will sit down and drink a cup of tea first, and then eat here with me, and after eating, the old housekeeper will go back to rest and rest." ”

Seeing this, the old housekeeper felt even more unhappy, and muttered, "Thank you, madam."

"Old butler, what's wrong with you today?You must be tired, then you can go back and rest now!" Seeing the old butler's preoccupied look, Mrs. Lan only thought that he was tired.

"Alas, Madame, I think I may be old and useless," the old man sighed, turned his head as if he had made a great mistake, and stopped talking.

"Old butler, you are not taking you well, old butler, you don't have to be polite, if there is something wrong with us, you can always say it bluntly!" Mrs. Lan looked at the poisonous dragon Zhu, and in the face of the old man's move, the two of them looked at a loss.

"The old lady treats me as if I was a family member, and it's too late for me to be grateful for this old bone, where is there any pickiness, alas!" The old butler sighed again, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll just say it! When I just checked the gifts of the Magic Kingdom, there was a big box with 'bird's nest' written on it, but when I opened the box, it turned out to be empty."

"Empty?"

Poison Dragon Zhu and Mrs. Lan also looked at each other.

"No, it's impossible for the King of the Magical Kingdom to send an empty box!" muttered to Poison Dragon Zhu.

Mrs. Lan hurriedly glared at Poison Long Zhu, then looked at the old housekeeper and said, "It's not a big deal, maybe they made a mistake on their side, or they were manipulated by the shipwright, don't worry about it, old butler, don't think about it! Besides, weren't there many people present at that time?" After speaking, he instructed the girl in the room and said, "The old housekeeper is tired, hurry up and order the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food." Don't come back, but go to the bookkeeper and pay a hundred gold coins, take two pieces of fine silk, and send them to the old butler's house. ”

"Madam, you have treated me like this, making me even more embarrassed by this old man. The old housekeeper shook his head and said, the old eyes were obviously shining with tears, "Madame is right, but that box of bird's nest is priceless, if someone says that we are colluding, then my old man will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River!"

Although Mrs. Lan looked disappreciative on her face, she pondered carefully in her heart and felt that something was wrong. A box of bird's nest is worth a lot of money, and if the magic kingdom deliberately cheats it, there is an ominous hint in it, but this is not very likely, after all, the king of the magic kingdom sent a birthday gift completely because of his personal relationship with the poisonous dragon Zhu, and if you want to go to war, you don't have to make such a big detour. However, it is unlikely that the people on the ship are cheating, because since it is the king's thing, the ship being transported must be the royal fleet, and it would be a suicide to touch the king's things! However, if you don't suppress the shock and comfort this old man at this time, I'm afraid that if such a large number of people have three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it be intolerable.

Mrs. Lan summed up in her heart, and said with a smile: "Old housekeeper, I know that you are always innocent, you don't have to blame yourself," As she spoke, Mrs. Lan stepped forward and took the old housekeeper's hand and pressed the old man to the seat, "I will accompany you to drink two cups first, and then let people check it when I go back, and I will definitely return your old innocence." ”

"That's it, old housekeeper, don't worry, I'll call someone to check it now" As he spoke, Poison Longzhu stood up and walked out of the room in a hurry, but he didn't feel sorry for a box of bird's nest in his heart, but he just felt that this thing was a bit interesting, a box of bird's nest was gone, and the magic country was not a play France
