Chapter 285: Going to the Banquet
For a whole day, Duan Lie had been staying at home, in fact, he wanted to walk around and see some friends and elders, in Cold Wind City, a place that was both strange and could form a prototype of home in his heart, he still had a few close friends, such as An Wen, such as Ge Fatzi, such as King Kong Mentor, such as Master Moore in the Cold Wind Exchange.
However, looking at Rouya's appearance, it will not be so easy to let go of herself, Duan Lie is also happy to enjoy the tranquility, and one day at home, Duan Lie told a story about what happened when he went to the War Spirit Academy, like a hunting competition or something, just talk a little more, and those who let themselves fall into danger deliberately cover up the past, so as not to worry about Rouya for himself.
The two mothers and sons chatted from morning to night, and had dinner with Abel and Sister Lian in the evening, and then fell asleep groggily.
This sleep was very sound, until the next morning, Sister Lian woke him up, Duan Lie was still wearing the seemingly simple but extremely precious magic gold robe, this robe was deliberately used by him to conceal the inscription to cover up the brilliance of the material and the inscription, so it looked extremely shabby, and after the last duel with Huo Man, the inscription was a little damaged, but Duan Lie didn't care.
The equipment on the Battle Spirit Continent is like this, there are very few battle robes and armor that can be worn all the time, and all defensive equipment will be subject to a certain degree of wear and tear along with the number of uses, if this wear and tear reaches a critical point, the entire equipment will be scrapped, even if it is an artifact, it is inevitable that there will be a day of damage. Sometimes it can be repaired, but the effect is obviously very different from the one just made, so Duan Lie just wears the magic gold robe as an ordinary piece of clothing, and does not consider whether it is appropriate to appear on what occasion.
Walked out of the room, walked around the garden and came to the main hall of the front yard, Rou Ya had been ready for a long time, today he wore a golden gold thread warm robe, with a veil of falling cloud silk on his head, this is the head of the noble lady of the War Spirit Continent, Rou Ya, who is not very old, did not dress up carefully in the past because of the hardships of life, in fact, her appearance is definitely not bad, this dress up, suddenly has a feeling of a wealthy lady, which makes people's eyes shine.
According to her gentle temperament, she is reluctant to spend a lot of money to make a warm robe embroidered with gold wire, or it may be a gift from someone else, wearing it on her body at this time, which makes her feel awkward. It's just that maybe it's for her son's face, she didn't take it off, but tried her best to adapt to the gorgeous warm robe made of this precious material.
"Mom, you're so beautiful today, at least ten years younger. Duan Lie was relieved that this kind mother had finally gotten rid of the life of poverty, and couldn't help but laugh.
Rou Ya turned her head when she heard the voice, and said deliberately reproachfully: "Poor mouth." Then he looked at Duan Lie's gray clothes and didn't look like a dress for a wedding banquet, and suddenly said dissatisfied: "Oh, you kid, why did you come out wearing this, Sister Lian, are there any better clothes at home, change a set for the young master." ”
"I don't need to. Duan Lie hurriedly dodged, and said in his heart, just this body is worth money, and it has a strong defensive effect.
Of course, Rouya didn't know that Duan Lie's body could be replaced with at least a few thousand pieces on her, and said categorically: "No, today is the wedding of Xinlan girl, how can you wear such shabby, quickly change your clothes." ”
In the end, Duan Lie couldn't get over Rouya, and in the end he changed into an evening dress that nobles often wear.
According to the customs of the War Spirit Continent, the general wedding banquet is held in the afternoon and evening, so it was already noon when Rouya went out, and Abel also called a carriage and personally rushed to the Fang family's mansion on Central Street.
Although Duan Lie once had a small reputation in Cold Wind City, and has always been regarded as a rare genius in the entire Cold Wind City, but in the end, his family background is not very solid, and the carriages that others sit in are all inlaid with gold and jade, and Abel only spent two gold coins to hire a fairly good carriage, which is too far behind other families and nobles.
And the Ling family and the Fang family, who were among the top forces in Cold Wind City, had to be invited into the house in order according to their identities in major matters, so they lined up outside again, and they could be regarded as having a carriage, otherwise, I am afraid they could only enter the house at the end of the line.
For her own family background, Rouya has a special inferiority complex, although Duan Lie said that he didn't have to wait for so long, he still couldn't resist his mother in the end, so when the two of them entered the house, it was already after three o'clock in the afternoon.
After waiting outside for two or three hours, Duan Lie was really a little speechless, even though he had seen a lot of the world, but it was the first time he had participated in this kind of occasion, and he was somewhat surprised by the nobles invited by the Ling family.
There were so many people that from noon to afternoon, hundreds of people came in with generous gifts, and it was a waste of time just to count the gifts, otherwise how could he have waited until three o'clock.
Duan Lie glanced at Rouya beside him, although Rouya herself did not have excessive expectations for the situation of life, but when she saw this kind of scene, she could not help but show an expression of envy.
From this, Duan Lie had to think that if her son could have such a scene when he got married, she must be very happy.
Thinking about it a lot, when they entered the door, Rouya and Duan Lie got out of the car, Abel handed over a few gifts, a list of large and small bags, and the old man who received the gift was wearing a pair of reading glasses to be in charge of recording, and when he saw the obviously extremely shabby gift, he frowned slightly, but when he saw the invitation card handed by Abel, he didn't say anything, made a gesture of please, and put the three of them in.
Walking into the courtyard, the red lanterns and torches, and ribbons weave into a wedding scene full of joy, and the courtyard is gently supported by the wind, the sunset is reflected, and the slow song reverberates lightly in the courtyard, and the guests and friends walk around with goblets and greet each other, rendering the whole courtyard lively and extraordinary. The main hall facing the front door was wide open, and dignitaries and nobles in ornate dresses crowded into the splendid and luxurious main hall......
This is the Fang family's mansion, although the area is smaller than the one given to Rouya by Ximei, but it is no problem to put two or three hundred people, there is a white jade staircase in the hall facing the door, and the position of the jump can be walked around to the second floor, and Fang Jie can be vaguely seen in front of him wearing Sina's white dress and following Fang He around, one by one dignitaries came to congratulate, it seems that Fang He has the intention to train Fang Jie to become the heir of the family.
On the other side, Ling Xinlan is dressed up pure and beautiful, a pure white evening dress gauze skirt sets off her figure to the extreme perfection, and her crimson face spreads a layer of heart-warming spring color because of a small amount of drinking, special outfits and careful dressing make her a unique existence tonight.
To be honest, Lingxinlan is indeed very beautiful, it is no wonder that the original "Duan Lie" jumped off the cliff for her, and the heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, not to mention that "Duan Lie" is not a hero yet.
According to local custom, the bride and groom must go around with glasses at the wedding reception before the wedding begins, and when the wedding is about to begin, they go upstairs to change into a new outfit.
Before the time was up, Duan Lie walked aimlessly at the wedding scene.
For this kind of occasion, Duan Lie can't be said to be completely brainless, after all, he doesn't understand the customs of the Battle Spirit Continent, and Rou Ya has never participated in this kind of occasion before, and he has been holding Duan Lie's arm since he came in, and he doesn't know how to integrate into this circle, let alone whether to integrate or not.
On the contrary, a mother and son were like transparent people, no one paid attention to them for a long time, and Rouya secretly asked: "Lie'er, are we standing here?" Are you hungry, can you go get you something to eat?"
Duan Lie knew that Rouya was worried in her heart, and she didn't have any ability to negotiate and negotiate, so he smiled and patted Rouya's hand, and said, "Mom, no need, there is a place there, let's go sit for a while, it will take a long time to start." ”
"There should be about two hours, and everyone used to arrive on time for the wedding banquet held by the lady next door, but today is different, it's easy to say that it's late. Rouya whispered.
Duan Lie smiled: "Then go sit for a while, it's quite tiring to stand." With Duan Lie's backbone, Rouya is not so afraid.
There are sofa chairs around the hall for guests to rest, but there are very few people who sit after they come and don't go around to establish a network, only they walk to the side of the two sofa chairs, Duan Lie was just about to help Rou Ya sit down, at this time, a brightly dressed blonde boy came over, holding a goblet, his face was slightly drunk, he kicked the sofa chair with his foot and said, "Hey, madam, go over there......"
This young man Duan Lie naturally didn't recognize him, but listening to his tone, he was dissatisfied, there were so many seats next to him, and he wanted to drive Rouya away, which was really annoying.
Duan Lie frowned, and was about to say something, but Rou Ya held him down, and then apologized to the blonde boy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
The blonde boy sat down on the sofa chair with a big grin, and said with a smile, "Hillbilly." ”
This sentence angered Duan Lie's nerves, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said coldly, "What did you say?"
The blonde boy rolled his eyelids and said with great disdain, "I said you hillbilly, what's wrong?"
When Duan Lie heard this, he was furious, and he was about to teach this guy who didn't know what to do, but he knew that Rouya stopped him again: "Lie'er, don't make trouble." ”
If it weren't for Rou Ya, Duan Lie wouldn't care if this was the wedding scene of Fang Jie and Ling Xinlan, with his current identity, he would not consider the feelings of others to teach an ignorant kid, but seeing Rou Ya's worried look, Duan Lie couldn't help it again, glared at the blonde boy fiercely, and turned around with Rou Ya to leave.
And at this moment, the blond boy shook the goblet in his hand and said lazily: "I can't wear a golden silk warm robe, what kind of nobleman is pretending, I really don't know how the Fang family would invite this kind of person, alas......"
