At this time, there are about more than ten people standing in the courtyard, several of them hold gongs and drums, a few people hold cymbals, and a big drum has been set up in the center of the courtyard, and there is also a person holding a drumstick next to him and is ready to go, the scene is very grand.

But what really scared Xun Yue was the two people standing in the center.

These two people are his old acquaintances, the red and yellow lion head on the left is Lin Zongbian, the master of the "Wanshu Tower", and the blue and black lion head on the right is Mu Beiting, who has the "cloud stepping on the breeze".

But seeing that these two heroes in the world in front of him were going to go into battle in person, Xun Yue instantly lost his steady, and blurted out: "Ahhh How could it be Lin Daxia and Mu Daxia? Oh, how dare you work for the two of you, this can't be helped, you can't do it!"

Lin Zongyan laughed and said, "Why can't I do it? On weekdays, we receive a lot of favors from the shopkeeper Xun, and I often sigh that this favor is difficult to repay." On the occasion of today's grand ceremony, we naturally can't take it more seriously, not to mention..."

When he said this, he paused deliberately, suddenly turned his head slowly and glanced around, and continued with a smile: "What's more, it is really an honor for my generation to dance in this magnificent inner garden!"

Lin Zongyan's words seemed to be joking, but hearing Xun Yue's ears, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

He heard that Lin Zongbian had something to say at this time, and on the surface it seemed to be complimenting, but the voice outside the words was showing displeasure, implying that he Xun Yue despised the anti-Japanese alliance and only arranged them to receive them in the outer garden like ordinary guests.

Thinking of this, Xun Yue couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being negligent, how could he forget about Yi Shuai of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and it wasn't until he saw Lin Zongbian at this moment that he suddenly remembered it.

Originally, the commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was Master Tongze, but two months ago, Master Tongze gave up the position of leader of the alliance to Lin Zongbian. And Lin Zongbian's replacement of the handsome position is really expected, and the world takes it for granted, so this matter has not set off too many heated discussions on the rivers and lakes.

Originally, Xun Yue had also heard people talk about the change of handsome position, but the problem was that the location of the "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Anti-Japanese Alliance" was quite far away from Gusu. Except for the annual fundraiser, he doesn't pay much attention to its movements on weekdays, so he doesn't take this message to heart, and he forgets it for a long time.

Moreover, as a big businessman, he naturally focuses on dignitaries and dignitaries when he entertains guests. Other guests, he no longer bothered to receive them, and left them all to his subordinates to arrange on his behalf. What's more, Master Tongze is an outsider, and it is inconvenient to sit down at the meat banquet, so he is more and more careless.

However, seeing Lin Zongbian expressing his dissatisfaction in public, Xun Yue was full of remorse. Although he was unintentionally slow because of negligence, in the eyes of outsiders, it is inevitable to think that he did it intentionally. After all, with Lin Zongbian's reputation and prestige, he was not invited into the inner hall, except for intentional negligence, it is really difficult to have any other explanation.

Thinking like this, beads of sweat suddenly oozed from Xun Yue's forehead. On weekdays, he would be regarded as an eight-sided character, but in the face of the current situation, he didn't know how to answer for a while, just stood on the steps with a blank expression, at a loss.

At this time, there was also a commotion in the field, some people were already blaming Xun Yue's negligence in a low voice, some people left the table and came out to watch, and even more ran to Lin Zongbian and Mu Beiting to say hello and talk, that scene was really a black miasma.

But in the midst of these hustle and bustle, there was one person who was not half happy, on the contrary, he frowned a pair of sword eyebrows, secretly annoyed Lin Zongyan. This person is not Xun Yue standing on the stage, but Mu Beiting standing next to Lin Zongbian.

The lion dance performance at today's dinner was originally agreed upon by everyone in the league on the way here, and the lion dancers selected at the beginning were "Nanhua Knife" Cui Cheng and "Wooden Iron Flute" Yang Hesheng.

When the two of them were young and unknown, they used to work together on the street to earn a living, and they performed as lion dancers and jugglers. After being instigated by everyone for a few words, they should get off the lion dance errand, planning to wait for the dinner party to be halfway drunk before they got up and performed with bamboo to show their gratitude to Xun Yue for his funding.

Unexpectedly, the changes are always faster than planned, and not long after the people of the "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Anti-Japanese Alliance" entered the outer garden, Lin Zongbian suddenly rubbed Mu Beiting on the side with his arm, and said: "Today, you and my brother are rare to get rid of mundane things, and we must have a good time relaxing, why don't we go to the lion dance for entertainment?"

Mu Beiting was slightly surprised by this proposal, and immediately frowned and asked, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do a lion dance performance for everyone in your current status, right?"

Lin Zongyan snorted and said disdainfully: "What's the matter, didn't you always say that in the past, you had to be unrestrained to be a chic husband, but now, why are you so timid? Are you going or not?"

Mu Beiting looked at Lin Zongbian, who was eager to try in front of him, and felt strange in his heart, and secretly wondered: "Brother Lin is the most calm on weekdays, why is his temperament so reversed today? Could it be because he has drunk?"

Lin Zongbian's alcohol consumption has always been extremely poor, and he resolutely does not touch it as long as he can not get drunk on weekdays, but today it is very abnormal, and he actually took the initiative to drink a few glasses, so it caused Mu Beiting to guess so.

However, speculation is speculation, since the good brother has this interest, Mu Beiting naturally will not brush his mind, and he responded boldly at the moment: "Go, go." Lin Da Alliance Master can go, how can I not go? Let's go. ”

After agreeing, the two immediately asked the two brothers Cui Yang to teach some rules and skills of lion dance, and then brought props into the inner garden.

But it wasn't until this moment that Mu Beiting finally knew Lin Zongbian's true intentions, it turned out that the lion dance he proposed was fake, and humiliating others was true. And the reason for all this is only because Xun Yue did not arrange for everyone to sit in the inner hall, and he owed a lot of courtesy.

Mu Beiting, who figured out this section, became more and more angry the more he thought about it, but when he was about to question Lin Zongbian, he suddenly thought again: "Zongbian is his own brother after all, and he must protect him in front of outsiders no matter what." I might as well find a way to resolve the embarrassment at this time, and then reason with him when I go back to the house in the evening. ”

He made up his mind in his heart, so he said loudly: "Master Xun, I was careless for a while, and I actually omitted the hydrangea used in the lion dance, I don't know if there is such a thing in the house?"

Xun Yue was also worried that there was no talk to alleviate the embarrassment here, but at this time, Mu Beiting handed over the talk. He was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes." There are a lot of them in the house, so I'm going to fetch them. ”

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but as soon as he lifted his feet, he suddenly thought about it, he was a party of fame, even if it was because of negligence, what could he do, what could he do, and what was there to blame; why should he be humble and weak in front of the public, lose face, and be looked at differently by others.

Thinking like this, he immediately stabilized his figure, but his mind still wavered back and forth, and he was always determined to offend Lin Zongbian.

Just as he was hesitating, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his wife and daughter who were standing behind a bonsai at this time. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, and he immediately had the idea of "killing two birds with one stone".
