Chapter 7: The Birthday Banquet
Relatives and friends: Today is the 80th birthday of Shen Qianqiu, the eldest son of the Shen Mansion, and I was entrusted by the eldest son of the old man, Shen Qiusheng, to be the host of the old man's birthday. Here I only wish the elderly on behalf of a relative, the guest wishes:
Increase blessing, increase longevity, increase wealth, increase glory, increase color, increase auspiciousness.
......
It was already an hour after the cumbersome etiquette, and even the old man was a little impatient, and said bluntly: "It's too long-winded, the dishes are cold, let's have a banquet." ”
Eight people at a table, Zhang Sanliu plus Shen Linyan and her girlfriends made up a table. The other tables talked more than once, only Zhang San ate the meal quietly at this table, and after three rounds of wine, the old man put down his wine glass after the five flavors:
"Be quiet, everybody. Shen Qianqiu stroked his beard: "In addition to celebrating here today, the old man also wants to thank a heroic young man, let everyone get to know him, Zhang San Xiaoyou." ”
Zhang San stood up helplessly and said to Shen Qianqiu: "Thank you Grandpa Shen for your hospitality, the contemptible person is Zhang San." ”
A few days ago, the old man's granddaughter almost fell into the water accidentally, but thanks to Zhang Sanxiaoyou, she couldn't stop losing face in front of everyone. The old man was a little ill and couldn't drink more, so he could only replace the wine with tea. ”
Zhang San half-covered and half-covered with Hanfu and drank it all: "It's just a gesture, and others will help if you change it, but grandpa doesn't have to be like this." ”
Shen Qianqiu looked at Zhang San with a smile and said coldly: "Xiaoyou, have you ever had a girlfriend?
"Grandpa!" Shen Linyan looked at Shen Qianqiu a little shyly, but Zhang San didn't know how to answer, and after thinking about it:
"At the moment, I want to focus on my studies, and after graduation, I plan to work hard for a few years before I think about starting a family. ”
Shen Qianqiu's second son, Shen Donglin, grinned a little and said, "Boy, if you marry Xiao Yan, why worry about your career." ”
Zhang San frowned: "I'm just here for the banquet, and I have no other ideas." ”
"If you don't have an idea, you can cultivate it slowly. ”
Zhang San was a little angry: "Don't joke anymore." Many guests smiled, but Shen Donglin didn't care at all: "Marrying Xiaoyanzi is something that many people dream of, how can you be so pushy." ”
Zhang San's original angry look disappeared: "I don't know what your purpose is, and I don't want to understand the reason for it, since she has invited me, we are in love, thank you for the old man's hospitality today, this talisman is enough to cover the wine money here." The juniors were a little unwell, so they retired first. ”
"Presumptuous, do you think that the Shen family can come and go when you want?
Zhang San turned his head and looked at Shen Donglin: "If I'm not mistaken, the old man has a dark disease in his kidneys, and it is this secret disease that makes the old man hot in winter and cold in summer. ”
Zhang San slowly withdrew from the villa after making another gesture at Shen Qianqiu, and disappeared in the eyes of everyone, Shen Qianqiu squinted his eyes and kept brushing his beard as if he was thinking about something, and then Shen Qiusheng came out to host: "Everyone continue to eat and drink, let's continue." ”
.....
Zhang San, who had left the Shen Mansion, felt inexplicably relaxed, and after hesitating for a while, he walked to the dilapidated shop where the old man was.
"Old man, old man, open the door for business. ”
"Ahem, who's coming, coming, coming. After the old man opened the door, he looked at Zhang San with some surprise: "What's the matter? The transaction has been completed, and there is no way to return if you want to return at this time." ”
Zhang San picked up the placket of the old man's clothes: "Old man, what's the matter with your badge?"
"Don't drag, don't drag, I don't understand what you're saying. ”
"You're still pretending! You're still pretending!" Zhang San slid out of the 'chasing electricity' and pierced the wooden board behind the old man: "If you don't tell the truth, I'll do it." ”
The coughing sound that he had just remembered was stopped by the old man, his squinted eyes slowly opened, Zhang San was like being struck by lightning, and an inexplicable coercion appeared in the air, and then quickly disappeared.
The old man opened his hands, pulled out the 'chasing electricity' and turned it skillfully: "You are the same as your uncle, you like to play with butterfly knives, suspicious, and have a bad mouth. ”
"What?!I still have an uncle?!"
"Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian. How do you think your dad's name came from, how did you get your name? ”
"What else do you know?"
"You don't care what I know, you don't deserve to know anything, you are an ant. Zhang San exuded the internal force of two attributes all over his body: "You say it again!"
The old man opened his eyes completely, and Zhang San found that he was no longer a human eye, with scarlet vertical pupils. With this glance alone, Zhang San involuntarily knelt on one knee.
"It can't be!"
The old man approached Zhang San and raised his head: "Like your uncle, be a smart person, and only go to uncover the truth without fail." Failure is often caused by the lack of ability of the person concerned, and when you have decided, come back to me, or when we meet again. ”
The old man threw the 'chasing electricity' with his back and threw it away when he returned to the door, and the 'chasing electricity' was just inserted in front of Zhang San. A fresh breeze blew in the distance, and the old man and his dilapidated shop disappeared in front of Zhang San.
"Who the hell is he...."
Zhang San, who stood up suddenly, instantly fell again, and then the figure slowly dissipated into the air.
........
When Zhang San woke up again, it was in a burning village, a group of bandits were burning and looting, Zhang San who was on fire pulled out the bow and arrow on the horse next to him, and kept intercepting and killing the bandits, half an hour later, all the villagers gathered together to thank Zhang San, Zhang San panted and said:
"Where is this place?"
"Lord Hui, this place is the junction of Julu Pottery and Gantan. ”
"In this way, it is only a three-day trip from the pottery, and the master sent Wang Gong to guard this place before he came out, and if there is no accident, this is also a good place to stay. ”
Zhang San got on his horse: "Fellow villagers, there are still important things to do, take the first step." ”
"Young man, please stay, young man's great kindness is beyond repayment, please accept this source of disaster. ”
"What is this?"
"This is a hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, and it is precisely because of this thing that the village has suffered such a loss. If the young man doesn't dislike it, please accept it. ”
Zhang San saw that the body of this thing took it uncontrollably and devoured it, and the dantian was instantly filled with a force.
....
Under the city of pottery
Zhang San was about to enter the city when he was stopped by the young general who defended the city, and the young general looked at Zhang San with some excitement: "Dare to ask, but is it Julu Zhang Sixian?"
"It's down there, what's the point. ”
"I'm Zhao Chang, don't you know me? In the past, I and other 300 people were taken under the command of the lord and the great sage and good teacher, and they wanted to do a great cause, who knew that there was an accident, the great sage and good teacher died unexpectedly, General Wang Gong was very excited after knowing that the lord was alive, and he was looking for the lord day and night, but I didn't expect that today finally had a result, the lord please come with me. ”
After Zhao Chang reported all the way, the soldiers along the road laughed, and after entering the city lord's mansion, Wang Quan knelt on one knee excitedly: "Lord, Defa has finally looked forward to you." ”
"Hurry up, please. ”
"Since the lord has returned, Defa will return to the original owner, and from now on the lord will be the lord of the pottery. ”
"Okay, gather the military and civilians immediately, I have something to say. ”
"No. ”
