Chapter 272: There is no good feast
Three days later, Chen Guanyun took Yang Liang, Chen Guandong, and Princess Crystal to set off on Xingyao and rushed to the banquet venue of Baishan Gong. The banquet venue was in Bai Shan Gong's mansion, which was a full fourteen star fields away from Chen Guanyun, Chen Guanyun had to leave early, otherwise he would be late, and he gave Bai Shan Gong an excuse to find fault.
Even after such a hurry, when he arrived at the planet of the White Mountain Mansion, it was only five days before the banquet began. Bai Shangong did not come out to greet him in person, obviously giving Chen Guanyun a dismissal first. As the host, if you don't greet the guests in person, you will lose hospitality in the first place, and the pattern of Baishan Gong is too narrow.
Five days later, the banquet began on time, and the venue was the lobby of the mansion of the Duke of Baishan. All the guests arrived, and there were more than 100 people to the banquet, and there was really no shortage of people.
"Brothers and sisters, all of you are my friends in Baishan. I am very happy that you are here for my banquet today, and I would like to thank you all. Raise your glass with me and drink it to your heart's content. Bai Shan Gong sat on the main seat, stood up, held the wine glass, and took the lead in drinking it all.
All the guests got up and toasted their glasses. Only then did Chen Guanyun discover the first set given to him by Bai Shangong. The seating of this banquet was not arranged according to status, but according to cultivation. He, Chen Guandong and Jing Jing were sitting on the outside, and they were all close to the door.
Bai Shangong toasted from the inside out, and each guest was chatting a few words, and when they arrived at Chen Guanyun's side, an hour had passed. But apart from a pot of wine, there was nothing else to eat on the table, so could they let them drink dry? Others were talking to each other, but only Chen Guanyun and the three of them sat stiffly, and there was no one they knew.
"Guan Yunhou, Guan Dongzi, and Crystal Little Sister, I am lazy and lazy, there are too many guests, I'm sorry. I don't know how that butler did things, but he arranged you in a position close to the door, I will immediately ask him to adjust it, and sit under me, okay?" Bai Shangong finally walked in front of Chen Guanyun and them, holding a pot of wine and a wine glass, and said falsely.
How could it be? The seats arranged by the housekeeper are not even seen by the master, and such a housekeeper still wants to do it. Adjust the position and turn to his head. It turned out that he was sitting at the door, and suddenly turned to the next head, so that what did the other guests think, what did they think? It was obvious that he was making an excuse to humiliate them, but Chen Guanyun didn't mind at all, Chen Guandong could only be invited by the light of the crystal, otherwise it would not be his turn. Even if it were his turn, he wouldn't come.
"Bai Shan Gong is polite, it's good to be able to sit here. It's rare that Bai Shan Gong invited us to the house as guests, and I will be the east another day, and Bai Shan Gong must not refuse. Guanyun took Bai Shangong's hand and said "affectionately".
"Uh~~ Of course, Guanyun Hou invited, I will definitely attend. Bai Shan Gong replied unnaturally.
"Brother Nineteen, I haven't seen you for many years, and your cultivation is still like this, is it that after many years, the cultivation of my little sister and husband is above Brother Nineteen?" Princess Crystal's heart was completely towards Chen Guandong, but she didn't take this nineteenth brother who didn't have much impression to heart.
The little sister laughed. My brother-in-law is a talent, and it is a matter of time before he surpasses me. Little sister is really a good eye, the last time I went to see the eldest brother, he also said that he missed you very much, and you didn't say to go to see the eldest brother. Bai Shan Gong said differently.
"If the eldest brother misses me, he can come to see me at any time, and when the eldest brother is 100,000 years old, the younger sister will naturally go over to visit with her husband, and the nineteenth brother will not worry. "Princess Crystal spoke sharply and defeated the White Mountain Prince.
"Haha, brother-in-law, why don't you speak, this wine is not to taste, this is one of the top ten famous wines in the Demon Emperor Palace and even the Demon World, it is difficult for the nineteenth brother to get some, can you give some advice?" Bai Shangong knew that Chen Guandong was not good at drinking, and Chen Guanyun was not good at drinking, maybe the two of them had never drunk this kind of good wine, so they could just ridicule them.
"Brother Nineteen is polite, the younger brother is not good at drinking, and he can't taste it. Chen Guandong told the truth.
"Eh, you can't even taste this kind of good wine, isn't life a lot less fun?" Bai Shangong finally found an opportunity to squeeze Chen Guandong fiercely, and indirectly lost Chen Guanyun's face.
"Although the younger brother doesn't know how to taste wine, he has also heard that Qingxi Liuquan is one of the top ten famous wines in the demon world, and it only produces a hundred jars per 10,000 years. Chen Guandong said complimentingly.
"Well, Brother Nineteen, I'm just good wine, brother-in-law, you are very good at talking, bring some for you when you leave, drink more to wash your body, it's very good for Wu Xiu." Bai Shangong was very happy to see Chen Guandong so good, and he didn't want to lose the face of his little sister, so he was ready to send a jar of good wine to cheer up the relationship.
Unexpectedly, Chen Guandong spoke again, and this opening did not make Baishan Gong angry.
"Nineteenth brother, it is rumored that this clear stream and spring have only been famous for more than 100,000 years, and the total production is only more than 1,000 altars. Moreover, I heard that 30,000 years ago, the craftsman who made this famous sake had ascended to the divine realm. Since then, we have rarely seen this kind of famous wine in the demon world, I heard Neiko say, 10,000 years ago, the teacher held a banquet, and there were only three jars of this kind of good wine, and the nineteenth brother actually gave me a jar directly, it is really heroic, thank you very much, little brother. ”
Chen Guandong pushed Bai Shangong down to the edge of the cliff. If he says that this wine is absolutely true, then the Demon Emperor has very few of them, why do you have so many good things, and you don't even know how to honor the Demon Emperor; if he says that this wine is fake, it is a slap in the face, saying that he is bragging, and the imitation of famous wine is also used as famous wine to entertain guests, which is a way to lose friends.
Fortunately, Bai Shangong reacted quickly and thought of a way to resolve the embarrassment.
"Haha, brother-in-law, you heard it wrong, I mean this is indeed a clear stream spring, but the year is not enough, it was brewed by the master disciple of the year. The recipe is exactly the same, and it can't be compared with my father's kind of superlative, he is the real top ten famous wines, and I don't have more than one name for the same. ”
Bai Shan Gong said that this wine was brewed by the disciples of the craftsman who brewed the Qingxi Liuquan back then, and the craftsmanship was not as good as his master, and it was slightly inferior, which was also normal.
Chen Guanyun, who had been neglected for a long time, raised his cup and touched it with Bai Shangong, dried it directly, and then lit the bottom of the cup at Bai Shangong.
Bai Shangong originally wanted to talk a little more, just to make everyone pay attention to this table, so as to lose Chen Guanyun's face. He can also have an excuse to avoid it, anyway, he had already apologized to Chen Guanyun and them just now, and they didn't want to change seats.
Unexpectedly, Chen Guanyun took advantage of his unpreparedness and clinked glasses, so he had to accompany him, otherwise he would be inconsiderate.
Bai Shan Gong walked back to his seat, and a person who gave him a look of his head, that person immediately stood up, held a wine glass and said: "Thanks to Bai Shangong's hospitality, the little brother can't eat and drink for nothing, send a congratulatory gift, and talk about his heart." ”
After speaking, he drank a glass of wine, a jade box appeared in his hand, and he offered it with both hands. Bai Shangong said again and again that he should not be so polite, but he still took it in his hand and opened the box in front of everyone.
"Wow - it's the legendary obsidian, the best material for refining the emperor's weapon, Uncle Beiyue is really generous, compared to you, isn't our things out of reach?" said the person sitting under Uncle Beiyue, bringing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.
"Eh, where, Chang Lin Bo is modest, I also get it occasionally, and I am not good at refining weapons, thinking of not wasting this good material, it is just dedicated to Baishan Gong, and I have no regrets. Uncle Beiyue said loudly.
"Haha, Uncle Beiyue, you are really a coincidence. What Chang Lin Bo offered, take it out for us to see, and let us see it for a long time. "There was a coaxing atmosphere.
"Since everyone is looking forward to it, then I'll take it out and make a fool of myself. It's nothing precious, it's just a 10,000-year-old ice spirit, and refining a puppet or something can barely be used. Chang Lin Bo said proudly. Although he said that he was ugly, everyone could see the smugness on his face.
"Ten thousand years of ice, I have lived for more than 100,000 years, and it is the first time I have seen it, Chang Lin Bo is really lucky, and he actually found this kind of rare treasure. Someone else sighed.
"Chang Lin Bo has a heart, knowing that I have been studying the way of puppets recently, so I am ashamed to accept such a congratulatory gift. Bai Shangong also made a special explanation.
"The old man offered a fox girl. This is a demon cultivator, currently cultivating as a demon lord in the early stage, and double cultivating with it, which is very helpful for a breakthrough in cultivation. ”
"I offer a six-leaf clover to refine the elixir, which is definitely the best choice. ”
"My wife and I offer a foreign succubus, this waiter is more haode than that fox girl. ”
......
Everyone rushed to offer treasures, and it seemed that they did not come to the banquet, but specially to offer treasures. Some of them are earls and viscounts of the territory of the Duke of Baishan, some are the younger brothers and sisters of the Duke of Baishan, and some are friends of the Duke of Baishan, how could they all prepare gifts to offer, Chen Guanyun didn't know that there was such a rule at all.
Princess Crystal had attended this kind of banquet a few times, but she was not in the Earth Demon Period at that time, and no one would let her give gifts, and she really didn't have any good things. She thought that Chen Guanyun knew this rule, at least the housekeeper in his house would remind him, but how did she know that the housekeeper in his house had never participated in this kind of banquet, and had never reminded him at all.
It's about to be Chen Guanyun's turn to give gifts, but they don't prepare at all, fortunately, Chen Guanyun's treasures are usually carried with them, but no, in Canadian Solar's collection, you can also find some excellent materials.
Now what he annoys is what to send. The gift is expensive, but Chen Guanyun has it, such as the Dipin Pill. If it is light, let those counts and viscounts compare, Chen Guanyun, the second-class marquis, will lose face, and he will inevitably be ridiculed by those people, or he will look at each other with white eyes.
Ben Hou gave a congratulatory gift a bottle of Ziling honey. Chen Guanyun took out a palm-sized jade bottle and smiled mysteriously at Bai Shangong, and Bai Shangong's face instantly became gloomy.
