Volume 10 The Night Banquet
"Such a piece of broken jade costs thirty taels, you have suffered a big loss!" said Hao Yue incomprehensibly.
"It's quite pleasing to the eye, and thirty taels isn't too expensive. Ming Xuan said disappreciatively, and it was inconvenient to talk about the details with Hao Yue.
Unconsciously, it was not early, the two did not linger anymore, and returned to the Moon Tower, where Ma Zhiwen and Li Yutang were already waiting upstairs.
"Shopkeeper Li and I ran to eliminate disasters and difficulties for you with a disgraced face, said all the good things, and suffered all the grievances, you two are good, go to visit Guzheng Street!" Seeing the two of them going upstairs, Ma Zhiwen shouted.
"Who is my master, the hall master of the Hundred School Hall! Do you have anything wrong with your old man? Why worry about being a disciple!" Looking at Ma Zhiwen's expression, he knew that the result of this trip was not bad.
"Lao Ma Lao and Shopkeeper Li are bothered to be here!" Ming Xuan said gratefully, although he was not afraid of things, but more things were better than less things.
"Gu Gongzi is polite, the reason why you can be so smooth is because you and the shopkeeper Li are still relying on Gongzi. Ma Zhiwen waved his hand and said disapprerovitically.
It turned out that after the two arrived at Zhu's house, because of Ma Zhiwen's name, Zhu Yuntian still entertained them personally, but after hearing that it was for last night's incident, he immediately changed his face, and his tone was tough and he didn't sell it at all, so he only had to give an eviction order, but after Ma Zhiwen said that Ming Xuan was a disciple of Qingyangmen, his face improved, and his tone eased down.
The banquet was agreed to be held at the unitary time, and there was still some time, Li Yutang was busy preparing the banquet, and Mingxuan, Ma Zhiwen and Haoyue stayed in the Moon Tower to sit and wait.
"I didn't expect Shopkeeper Li to be such an enthusiastic person!" Hao Yue said with some surprise, Li Yutang and Hao Yue are also familiar with each other, but the friendship is not deep, after all, Li Yutang is not often involved in a place like Proud Building.
"Well, I didn't think of it either. Ming Xuan felt the same way, and when he first saw Li Yutang, Ming Xuan also felt that he was relatively indifferent.
However, Ma Zhiwen didn't think so: not to mention that Xuan had helped Li Yutang before, in order to repay this favor, he explained Xuan's identity as a disciple of Qingyangmen, and he had such cultivation at a young age, and being able to make friends with such a character would have great benefits for him in Wangyue Tower, and then he would be able to show himself in front of Haoyue, I am afraid that it is also what he is looking forward to. Of course, Ma Zhiwen will only keep these words in his heart and will not say them.
The time of unitary is soon approaching, and the feast is about to begin, and the guests are arriving one after another.
Zhu Yuntian was also heroic, and came to the banquet alone, accompanied not only by Ming Xuan, Ma Zhiwen, Hao Yue and Li Yutang, but also by Jin Niang, the owner of the South Building, Li Yuming, the owner of the East Building, and Li Zhongxin, the head of the Li family.
After greeting each other, eight people sat down, and Li Yutang also worked hard to make a table full of dishes, all of which were dishes from all over the world, and they were all chefs' specialties, which were extremely luxurious.
"Come! First of all, on behalf of Mochizuki Tower, I welcome the arrival of all distinguished guests, so that this building is full of brilliance!" Li Yuming stood up and said loudly, Li Yuming was a heroic person, not to mention that he was the brother of Li Yutang and Jin Niang, so he naturally welcomed him as a master.
"The shopkeeper of Li University is polite, come! Let's have a drink together to thank the shopkeeper of Li University for his warm hospitality!" Ma Zhiwen said proudly, everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
"Uncle Zhu, last night's incident was all caused by Haoyue, which caused a misunderstanding between Zhu Ergongzi and Gu Gongzi, and I hope that Uncle Zhu Haihan. Seeing the situation, Haoyue raised her glass and greeted Zhu Yuntian.
"Misunderstanding? Miss Haoyue said it so lightly! Your gentle and clever misunderstanding made my son and the four generals break their hands and feet and be bedridden!" Zhu Yuntian said sarcastically, Haoyue was embarrassed on the spot, and the atmosphere that had just been active immediately dropped back to freezing.
"Ling Gongzi has spoken filthy words to me many times in the Moon Tower, and behaved contemptuously to Miss Haoyue, and the people present last night can see it, since the head of the Zhu family can't teach his son well, then he has to do it for him. Seeing that Zhu Yuntian refused to give up, and Ming Xuan did not want to show weakness, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"Alas, the two of you, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, everyone is a person with status, how can you turn your face after saying two sentences?" Ma Zhiwen had to stand up and make a round.
"Brother Ma is right, it is fate that everyone can sit together and have a meal, why bother to use knives and guns?" Li Zhongxin also said on the side, he was slightly older than Zhu Yuntian, and his actions were more stable.
The others also spoke out to persuade them, but the two did not say anything more, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
"Yesterday's trouble in the building was thanks to Gu Gongzi's help, and the little woman hasn't thanked her properly, a glass of thin wine, talk about respect!" Jin Niang Yingying got up, said delicately, and changed the topic, but seeing her behaving like this, everyone felt a chill.
"With a lot of effort, why worry about it!" Ming Xuan smiled faintly and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and his mood was not affected in the slightest.
"Come, Gu Gongzi, I also toast you! Welcome to Liangcheng, if you don't dislike it, my Li family is waiting for you to come!" Li Zhongxin also got up in time and toasted Mingxuan.
"Come, Uncle Zhu, I will also toast you!" Seeing that they were all saluting Mingxuan's wine and snubbing Zhu Yuntian, Li Yutang hurriedly raised his glass to salute.
However, Zhu Yuntian didn't seem to appreciate it very much, so he finished drinking sullenly and didn't speak.
This banquet was supposed to be for the two to make peace, but seeing that it was not very smooth, everyone simply did not mention the matter of peace, but everyone chatted with Mingxuan and snubbed Zhu Yuntian, it seemed that it was to welcome Mingxuan, but in fact, it was also to inform Zhu Yuntian that if there was a conflict, although they might not be partial to Mingxuan, they would at least remain neutral, which shows that Zhu Yuntian does not seem to be very popular in Liangcheng.
Li Yuming and Li Zhongxin are both alcoholics, Ma Zhiwen is even more unhappy with alcohol, after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere is gradually active under their drive, although Mingxuan is not good at drinking, but he is not a spoiler of the atmosphere, and Li Yutang and Haoyue can also talk, Jin Niang also interjected on the side, even Zhu Yuntian is not as cold as before, and occasionally chats with everyone.
"Let me be fair, yesterday's incident was indeed the rudeness of the second son of Zhu first, but Gu Gongzi did not show mercy when he made a move, each has something wrong, as for the four generals of the Zhu family, since they go to trouble others, how can they not fight back, the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled, why don't you turn hostility into jade silk, and turn anger into peace? Come! The two sides give me a face, and also give everyone a face, and do this glass of wine, this matter is over!" Ma Zhiwen got up and poured a glass of wine for the two of them, and said loudly.
Seeing Ma Zhiwen say this, Ming Xuan was naturally meaningless, and picked up the wine glass in his hand, today's banquet was originally to talk about this matter, since Zhu Yuntian agreed to go to the banquet, he naturally had this thought, and seeing everyone so persuasive, he also picked up the wine glass in his hand, and the two of them drank the wine without saying much, and everyone applauded, and the matter was finally revealed.
The matter finally came to an end, everyone put their minds down, the atmosphere became more lively, and the feast continued until the end of the day.
When parting, Mingxuan declined Li Zhongxin's warm invitation, and wanted to find an inn to stay, but he couldn't resist Ma Zhiwen's repeated invitations, Haoyue also persuaded Ou Zhiyang's news, and couldn't shirk it, so Mingxuan got into the carriage with Ma Zhiwen and Haoyue and went to Fengxue Building to spend the night.
"Listening to Haoyue, Gu Gongzi is going to leave Liangcheng in a few days?" Ma Zhiwen said with regret.
"After traveling here, I have no intention of staying, but I will cause some turmoil, and if I don't leave, I am afraid that Ma Lao will drive me away when the time comes!" gradually became familiar with Ma Zhiwen, and his words were not so respectful, and he joked.
"Hahaha, if the disciples of Qingyangmen can't handle it, it's useless to find my old man!" Ma Zhiwen laughed.
"By the way, Miss Haoyue, is there any news about Brother Ou?" asked Ming Xuan with concern.
"I've asked Xiaocui in detail, that person's surname is indeed Ou, and his appearance is the same as that described by Gongzi, it shouldn't be wrong, but I don't know where I went, but I heard him say that he seems to travel more in the Northland. At the banquet, Haoyue specially called Xiaocui to inquire in detail.
"Oh, thank you!" Although there is no specific information, at least it can be determined that Ou Zhiyang is still in the north of Zhongzhou, and Mingxuan is relieved.
......
"Dad, is this the end of it?" Zhu Xinli roared angrily, full of anger, it seemed that he was not seriously injured when he fell from the fifth floor.
"Mochiyue Tower, Proud Building, Fengxue Building, plus the Li family said peace from the side, what do you want me to do?" Zhu Yuntian said coldly, his eyes flashing with a feminine light.
"How can our Zhu family be afraid of them!" Zhu Xinli was very unconvinced.
"Last night, I had already consulted the elders of the clan for this matter, they meant that we should bear with it, do you think I want to swallow this breath? But this is an extraordinary time, and besides, this Gu Mingxuan is a disciple of Qingyangmen after all, it is difficult to say whether it is targeted or not, it is better for us not to act rashly, so as not to spoil the big thing." Zhu Yuntian is also helpless, even if there is no peace between Ma Zhiwen and Li Yutang, Zhu Yuntian is not easy to do, and today's banquet just has a step, but the kung fu on the scene still has to be done.
"They regard Qingyangmen as the number one enemy, why don't you ask them to do it directly?" they will definitely be happy to help!" Zhu Xinli's eyes lit up.
"No! Now the elders have not yet decided whether to cooperate with them, it is best not to trouble them, so as not to affect the bargaining chips of the negotiation, Xinli, you have to be a little restless, the so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, wait until the big thing is completed, then Liangcheng will be the world of our Zhu family, a little Gu Mingxuan is not enough to worry, when the time comes, you can dispose of it." Zhu Yuntian said with a sneer, his eyes full of longing.
"Okay! When the time comes, I will definitely break him into pieces! And that hazy moon! I will make her beg me to pamper her!" Zhu Xinli's eyes were full of lust, and his thoughts fluttered.
