Chapter 55: The Old Owner's Birthday Banquet
"According to what Jia Ding said, the previous owner of the village, Deng Xianguang, was a master of the Great Grandmaster Realm! Lin Xingyu lowered his voice and said, "The main entrance, front yard, verandah, backyard and other key locations of Ziyun Villa are guarded by disciples day and night, and it is not advisable to break in, there are six wells in the villa, and they are all guarded, and they are rotated regularly, and poisoning will not work, so we have to think about it in the long run, we must think of a foolproof strategy, and we must not expose our identities at the moment." ”
Qin Shuyu didn't speak this time.
"Can't we just confront that Ma Boran face to face?" Gu Zhenhong said, his voice a little loud.
"Shhhh
"Well, too. Gu Zhenhong thought about it and agreed.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Jiang Jianxue asked.
"Nope. ”
Then everyone fell into a silent silence, and for a moment they couldn't think of a countermeasure.
Lin Xingyu looked at Wu Yixiu, Wu Yixiu, who had always made him feel scheming, actually didn't speak for a long time, and didn't express his position, so they had to decide to wait and see what happened and not move for the time being.
"Shu Yu, in order to prevent you from acting impulsively, I think I should watch you all the time when necessary, so I will be aggrieved at night and move to your room to sleep. Lin Xingyu said shamelessly.
Boom!
Lin Xingyu didn't see Qin Shuyu's movements at all, and was slapped on the ground.
"Shameless!" Jiang Jianxue rolled her eyes and scolded.
And they went back to their rooms.
As time goes by, there are more and more people staying in the guest room, Lin Xingyu will meet people he doesn't know when he goes out, most of them will be polite with him, occasionally ask about the origin of the mask, he vaguely excused himself, and some people recognized it as You Die's mask, so he told people that it was an imitation, and it was fun to wear.
Seeing that the birthday banquet of the old owner Deng Xianguang on his 60th birthday will be in one day, Lin Xingyu has not yet come up with a good solution, and he is anxious. After the birthday banquet, everyone will definitely have no reason to continue to stay in the villa, and it will be even more difficult to find Ma Boran when the time comes. But fortunately, Qin Shuyu didn't act rashly, I don't know if it was because of the safety of Lin Xingyu and his party, no matter what the reason, it was always a good thing.
The villa has begun to be decorated with lights, and the businessmen, officials, and generals who have good relations in the four nearby cities have sent invitations, and some people who have made good friends in the rivers and lakes have come in advance to celebrate the birthday of the old owner even if they live far away.
The villa is very lively, and the guest rooms are occupied by Lin Xingyu and others, which is obviously not enough, even so, the owner of Deng Zhuang has never sent anyone to say anything. The guests who couldn't be arranged were invited to live in other places in the house, and Lin Xingyu didn't care where the arrangements went.
People who know or don't know each other around the guest room have to greet each other and be polite, and people who practice martial arts communicate with each other and occasionally learn from each other, attracting crowds to watch and cheer.
On the morning of the old owner's birthday, Lin Xingyu and others were taken to the place of the birthday banquet by the family, walked through the winding verandah, and came to the main hall in the center of the villa.
The courtyard has been covered with tables and chairs, a total of six columns, each row of fifteen tables, the table is octagonal, a table has eight chairs, and the guests do not affect each other.
Lin Xingyu and his entourage were taken to the empty table in the third row of the first row by the family to sit down, and as far as the eye could see, many guests were being led by the family to sit down one after another.
After a while, the seven-seven-eighty-eight who had been seated were sure that there was no one coming, and the empty table behind was removed by the family, Deng Chun walked to the front of the hall, and Deng Xianguang also walked out of it. The nine generations of the Deng family have been wearing alone, and their posture seems to have been inherited, and both of them have a shrewd and wealthy businessman appearance.
Lin Xingyu found that the people sitting in the first row were either dignitaries or close friends, and more people from the rivers and lakes were arranged in the back, and most of the people who came brought gifts, but Lin Xingyu and they came empty-handed, but the five of them were arranged in the third row, I don't know what the purpose was.
"Don't look at me as young and promising, and want me to marry his daughter and inherit this villa, right? Looking at the posture of the new and old owners, Deng Xinjing is not far behind, if you really let me be his son-in-law, it will really be unbearable." Lin Xingyu couldn't help but think secretly.
"Thank you for coming from afar! Today is my father's birthday, and your presence has made our village shine, the peace and harmony of heaven and earth are precious, and the five blessings of life in the world are in front of you......." Deng Chun said a long series of polite words, and his voice came out, and he could hear it clearly in the farthest distance.
Lin Xingyu guessed that even if Deng Chun's Xuan Qi cultivation was not as good as Chen Tiancheng, it would not be too bad.
"Today, it is not only my father's birthday, but also I want to take this opportunity to announce two things, the first thing, I think everyone knows that Deng has only one daughter under his knees, and his Xuanqi cultivation is not good, and the affairs of the villa are complicated and energy-consuming, and it is not suitable for women to take care of them, so Deng plans to accept a nominal son and cultivate him as the future heir of the villa. Bo Ran, come!" Deng Chun beckoned.
Following the direction of Deng Chun's beckoning, a man came over, nearly thirty years old, with a calm temperament, a smile on his face, and a proud spring breeze. Dressed in brocade clothes and a purple cloud on his chest, symbolizing that he was a disciple of the villa, he walked to Deng Chun's side in a few steps and stood still facing everyone.
Lin Xingyu looked at Wu Yixiu nervously, and found that Wu Yixiu, who was wearing a mask, did not move, and did not know what he was thinking. looked at Qin Shuyu again, and found that Qin Shuyu's pink fist was clenched, and the joints were white, but fortunately, there was no change on the surface, which made Lin Xingyu feel a little more at ease.
"Let me introduce, this is the most outstanding disciple of my Ziyun Villa, Ma Boran, young and promising, everything in the villa is very good, he has a calm temperament, and he has similar interests with me, and he takes good care of his father. After consulting with his father, he was accepted as a adopted son. The second thing is that the little girl has also reached the year of marriage. Deng Chunzheng said, Deng Xinjing had quietly stood by Deng Chun's side.
Deng Xinjing is slender, looks soft and weak, with curved eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a smile like a flower, standing next to Deng Chun, she looks even more petite and lovely, being looked at directly by everyone, she lowered her head shyly, and pinched her sleeves tightly with both hands, looking nervous.
As the saying goes, the parents' order is the words of the matchmaker, the little girl is at the age of marriage, how can the parents not care, plus Bo Ran and the little girl are in love, the talented and beautiful woman is beautiful, and it is natural to become a beautiful thing. Bo Ran's parents died, and Deng, as Bo Ran's father-in-law, naturally had to make decisions for him. Of course, the gift of three books and six appointments is indispensable, and everything is carried out according to the courtesy of the dynasty......" Deng Chungang finished speaking, someone clapped his hands behind him, and the family members put the wine and food on the table one after another.
"Master Deng, double happiness is coming, the old owner is blessed, and Zhou is the first to do it as a respect!"
"Master Deng Zhuang, Ling Ai is gentle and virtuous, Bo Ranxian nephew is extraordinary, a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven, Wang did it!"
“...... Zhao did it!"
“...... Wu did it!"
For a while, everyone stood up to toast, and whenever there was a toast, Deng Chun would hold the wine glass in front of him, and those who came would not refuse.
"The daughter of the owner of Deng Zhuang is so beautiful, if only I could marry home. Someone whispered.
"Bah, if you want to be beautiful, I don't look at what virtue you have. The companion teased.
"I'll just think about it. ”
"I can't think about it. ”
People in the rivers and lakes don't care about the rules, they drink wine when they come, and they toast it first if they can speak. When the atmosphere dropped a little, the people in the front row stood up to toast Deng Xianguang's birthday.
"I wish the old man the eternity of the moon, the rise of the sun, the longevity of Nanshan, the flourishing of pines and cypresses, all of which are not unsuccessful or inherited. ”
"I wish the old owner happiness such as the East China Sea, the sun and the moon are prosperous, the pine crane is long, and the spring and autumn are not old!"
"I am willing to offer Nanshan Shou Nian, Qi Dayan, Jing Lunfu, Luqi Chitose Tree Cane, and walk in spring and autumn!"
For a while, there was laughter and laughter.
Lin Xingyu stared at the few people in front of the hall tightly, and did not move a mouthful of wine and food, Wu Yixiu was like this, and Qin Shuyu was also like this.
Jiang Jianxue secretly poured herself a glass of wine, and drank it while everyone was not paying attention, choking on tears.
In today's situation, if you rashly go up to identify Ma Boran and say that he is the murderer, it will be to directly slap Ziyun Villa in the face in front of so many people, saying that Ziyun Villa harbored the murderer of the city, and slaughtering the people is not a good reputation, no matter where it is, it is despised, and in the end, if you can't produce evidence, this matter will definitely not be good. Lin Xingyu has never thought of a way to break the situation, and he really doesn't know how to make Ma Boran voluntarily admit what he did, if the banquet is over, it will be difficult to find another opportunity.
Lin Xingyu decided to take a risk, but it didn't work, in one move, after whispering some words to Wu Yixiu and Qin Shuyu, he got up and walked towards Deng Chun.
"Master Deng. Lin Xingyu's voice was not loud, only a few people nearby could hear it, because he was wearing a ghostly mask, which was somewhat eye-catching.
"What's the matter?" Deng Chun seemed to have been smiling for a long time, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
"I ......" Lin Xingyu adjusted his breathing, Deng Chun's little grandmaster realm, Deng Xianguang's great grandmaster realm, Lin Xingyu is not far from the two of them, and the pressure on him is very huge, I am afraid that if the two of them make a move, he will die on the spot if he can't catch a move.
"Under ...... It is for the happiness of love......" Lin Xingyu took a deep breath again, and his hands involuntarily trembled slightly due to nervousness.
"Is the virtuous nephew interested in the little girl?" Deng Chun frowned and looked at Deng Xinjing. Deng Xinjing's cheeks were crimson, her head was lowered, and her hands didn't know where to put them.
"It's not...... It's not ......." Lin Xingyu was nervous and almost speechless, his lips trembled, and his throat tightened, because his words just now directly attracted Deng Xianguang's attention.
The scene where Ye Shunan defeated Qin Lan and Qin Shuyu with one move is vivid and unforgettable.
