Chapter 340: Shut Out
Today is the birthday of Ye Junyao, the eldest lady of the Ye family, and Le Qi and others were warmly invited by her, so they naturally wanted to go to congratulate her.
To attend someone else's birthday party, a gift is naturally needed. In line with the principle of practicality, Le Qi and Zhang Soul Jun each prepared a very expensive elixir, although it is not as good as a thousand soul sources, but it is also a good elixir worth twenty purple pulp, as a birthday gift, not to mention how good, but in any case, it can be regarded as two gifts that can be handled.
Since Zhang Soul Jun still has to get up early today to refine medicine in the dark, Le Qi, who lives in the same hotel, is also going to go with him in the afternoon, after all, the former is also refining medicine for himself and others, of course he has to know some ways to behave.
The sun overhead had already tilted to the west, but it was the height of summer, and the light and temperature that tried to scorch people did not seem to abate in the slightest. The two of them had only been walking on the road for a moment, and they already felt that their black hair was about to be set on fire, which was really hot.
Although it was the first time to go to Ye Mansion, it was not difficult for the two of them who had already walked around Luo Yun Town several times, and it was not difficult to find the right direction.
After a while, the two of them rushed to the Ye Mansion in the north of Luoyun Town as if they were avoiding the heat, and the Ye family, as one of the two major families in Luoyun Town, managed the adventurer union branch, and made a lot of profits every year, which can be described as a big business, so the Ye Mansion is naturally very magnificent.
The thick high wall with a length and width of more than 100 meters isolates the internal mansion from the outside world, and the main gate of the Ye Mansion faces south, and the wooden double doors that are nearly one zhang high, simple and stylish, are both wide open at this time, and two men dressed in yellow household clothes outside the door follow behind a well-dressed middle-aged man, and are talking and laughing to welcome the guests who have come to the banquet one after another into the mansion. The latter is not like the Ye family's master, but more like the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion.
Standing in front of the door, Le Qi and Zhang Soul Jun saw the endless stream of guests, and couldn't help but sigh that the big family is not ordinary, even the birthday banquet of the young lady is so grand, if it really catches up with the birthday of the head of the Ye family, I am afraid it will be much grander!
It's not a big fuss, although the two of them are not frogs at the bottom of the well who have never seen the world, but the family and the cultivation sect cannot be confused, in the sect, even if it is a big sect like the Linlang Sect whose strength far exceeds that of the Ye family, it is difficult to see such a scale to celebrate the birthday of a young girl.
After glancing at each other tacitly, the two of them walked towards the door happily, preparing to enter the Ye Mansion to participate in the banquet, wondering if the other three had lost their patience by waiting.
"Stop!" Just as the two of them were about to cross the threshold and enter the Ye Mansion, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
Somewhat surprised, he stopped, and Le Qi skimmed away in the direction where the voice came, only to see that the person who spoke was the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper. Pointing at himself, he raised his eyebrows lightly and asked tentatively, "Me?"
The man nodded, and said in a cold affirmative tone, "That's right, it's just the two of you." Do you know that this is Ye Mansion?" In his opinion, these two people who came out of nowhere were dressed very plainly, and they were ordinary adventurers in this town, probably just a little miscellaneous fish who knew that the eldest lady had a birthday dinner today, and wanted to take the opportunity to mix in Ye Mansion for a big meal. These people are really, endlessly, and he has seen through more than a dozen of them in half an hour.
Hearing this, Zhang Xunjun felt funny, pointed to the two big golden characters on the lintel plaque and replied: "I know, I'm not blind, I can see the two big words very clearly." Besides, it's not Ye Fu that I'm here to do. ”
Seeing the other party's confident appearance, the man didn't know for a while whether the two of them had really been invited, so he had to ask tentatively: "Oh, then why did you come to Ye Mansion? Could it be that you are here to attend the eldest lady's birthday dinner?"
"It's not, otherwise what else can you do in Ye Mansion today!" Zhang Xunjun said impatiently, thinking to himself that this person didn't know it very well in his heart! After that, he wanted to walk inside, but he didn't take two steps, but he was stopped by the man again. This made the former very unhappy and asked, "What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?"
The man smiled and replied, "I'm sorry, I really can't see the identities of the two of them, dare to ask the names of the two?"
Hearing this, he probably knew what the other party meant, and Le Qi, who was silent, asked politely: "Your Excellency, don't you think that we are those people who want to mix in Yefu and eat and drink for nothing?"
didn't explain too much, and the middle-aged man replied: "Hehe, please forgive me, this is also a matter of responsibility as the steward of the Ye Mansion." ”
Zhang Soul Jun suddenly realized, grinding for a long time, it turned out that this person regarded himself and others as people who came to eat and drink, so he smiled and said: "Then you said it earlier! In the next Zhang Soul Jun, this is Ghost Qi, we were personally invited by your young lady to come to the banquet, how could it be those people who steal chickens and touch dogs." ”
It's just that the steward was skeptical of this: "Personally invited, but how come I have never heard that the eldest lady has two such friends?" Looking at the two of them in such simple clothes, the steward didn't believe that they would be the eldest lady's friends.
"You're really...!really...!I'm really convinced!I haven't heard of it, hehe...... Then the steward, can you please go in and ask your eldest lady! Again, my surname is Zhang, this surname is ghost, thank you, okay!" Zhang Soul Jun forcibly maintained a smile, and said through some gritted teeth. The other party's words, he really obeyed, the dignified Ye Mansion manager, can he really be so stupid! Let yourself sign up, you said that you have never heard of it, but you will not send someone to ask, so what do you do with your uncle's question!
"This ......" steward was a little uncertain for a while, don't send someone to ask, if the two are really friends of the eldest lady, they will definitely get into trouble, you can send someone to ask, the eldest lady is so busy today, if these two people are really two liars, will they be scolded.
At this moment, a gorgeously dressed young man saw that the butler was talking loudly with someone, as if he was arguing, so he stepped forward to inquire.
"Steward Luo, what's the matter, so many guests don't greet them but argue with people in front of the door?" the young man asked with some displeasure, his tone revealing a condescending and arrogant attitude.
Seeing the young man coming, the steward stepped forward to say hello: "Hello young master." That's the case, these two claimed to have been personally invited by the eldest lady to come to the banquet, but Luo couldn't make out the eyes, and was thinking about whether they should send someone to ask the eldest lady. ”
The young man in front of him is surnamed Chen, and he is the nephew of Mrs. Ye Family, in other words, the cousin of the eldest lady, so the servants of the Ye family such as the steward call him the cousin young master. Although the Chen family's power is not as strong as the Ye family, it can be regarded as a family that cannot be ignored in the nearby town. As we all know, this cousin young master has always had a love for Ye Junyao, the eldest lady of the Ye family, but the latter doesn't seem to have much feelings for her. But this does not affect the young master of the cousin to be attentive, and he always runs to the Ye family when he has nothing to do for three days, and the Ye family has a certain understanding of him. This person is a little arrogant, but he also has a very good talent, coupled with the identity of the young master, the servants of the Ye family are respectful to him.
Listening to what the steward said, these two people may have been personally invited by his cousin, and his cousin Chen Bai couldn't help but feel a little hostile in his heart, he had never heard that Jun Yao had any male friends who were worth inviting to a birthday party, where did these two people come from, didn't they want to beat his cousin's idea? Then he had to be careful.
After carefully looking at the two of them, Chen Bai snorted lightly, and instructed Steward Luo: "Today is a good day for Jun Yao's birthday, she must be very busy, in my opinion, there is no need to disturb her because of this little thing." These two people are so dressed, they can't be friends with their cousin. Steward Luo, let them go quickly. ”
Hearing this, Steward Luo hesitated a little and asked, "This... What if they're really friends with the eldest lady?"
Seeing the housekeeper's hesitation, Chen Bai said in a deep voice in an unhappy tone: "I said no, I don't have to, how could I not have seen Jun Yao's friends, these two people look shabby, obviously those who want to enter the Ye family to eat and drink." ”
Without waiting for the steward to reply, Zhang Souljun, who was standing on the side, heard the conversation between the two clearly, and suddenly his temper could no longer be suppressed, and he immediately shouted and scolded: "Your uncle! We are really deaf! Dare to say to our faces that we are little miscellaneous fish who have come to cheat and eat and drink!"
Chen Bai glanced at the two of them with contempt, and said disdainfully: "It's vulgar! You two hurry up and go away, this is the gate of the Ye family, whoever dares to make trouble, I will let him walk around without eating!"
Immediately, he instructed Steward Luo: "Hurry up and let them go, don't affect the face of the Ye family!" After that, he waved his hand and walked into the door.
Steward Luo nodded, since the young master has spoken, he will do it himself, anyway, if something goes wrong, there is a good excuse to shirk it. He waved his hand to the two of them and said in a straight voice, "Two, let's go, or I'll ask someone to invite you to leave!"
"Mother's ......" Zhang Xinjun pulled his sleeves and was about to scold, but Le Qi stopped him and pulled him out.
Zhang Souljun, who was dragged away by Le Qi and held back his anger, shouted loudly: "What are you stopping me for!"
Le Qi roared back without showing weakness: "If I don't stop you, what do you want to do!"
Glancing at Le Qi in disbelief, Zhang Soul Jun said loudly: "What do you want to do! I want to scold those two turtle sons to death! Uncle, Lao Tzu came to have a meal, even if he didn't eat the meal, he was still regarded as a gangster beggar who ate and drank, when did I, Zhang Souljun, suffer from this kind of shitty gas when I was so old!"
"Well, even if you scolded those two turtle sons and successfully greeted all the eighty generations of his ancestors, but then, what's the point, and what is the good result?" Le Qi said calmly.
"What's the point?! What is the meaning of you asking! The meaning is that at least I won't hold back the fire like I am now! Hey, I'm surprised, those two turtle sons are not the only ones who scolded me, why don't you have a temper at all?!" Zhang Soul Jun really couldn't figure it out, why didn't this person get angry at all.
