Chapter 34: The Hundred Family Banquet
Elder Qiga argued, "If you want to say that Yijin can't do the word justice, the old man doesn't dare to agree. That's right, some of what Yi Jin did in the past few years may not be as good as your old man's intentions, but Yi Jin has changed a lot after the experience of being outside in the past few years, not only calm, but also has a sense of justice. Besides, although Shaowu is good, but after all, he is too young, how can he serve the public as the patriarch. ”
Although Elder Chengfeng was coerced, he was unwilling to say good things for Igindo, so he sat back and watched the changes and stopped talking. Lan Ying and Qi Jia couldn't argue for a while, and Gui Wu said: "Since the two of them insist on their own opinions and don't give in to each other, it is difficult to choose for a while, I think it is better to let Yijin and Shaowu have a competition, and the winner will be the patriarch, I don't know what the two elders think?"
Elder Blue Eagle asked, "What kind of test method?"
Gui Wu thought for a while and said: "There are three competitions in total, respectively, to test martial arts, medical skills and mechanism skills, and the two parties can invite friends and supporters to participate in the competition, and the first to win two games wins, how about it?"
Elder Blue Eagle thought secretly, now the four elders except for himself, the other three are all towards Yi Jin's kid, I can only come down for the time being, anyway, in the three competitions, Shaowu's side still has a big chance of winning. He said: "The clansmen have always learned some martial arts, and it is also very important to heal poisonous insects and diseases, and the art of the mechanism is also an ancestral skill." In that case, if there is no objection, the matter is settled. ”
Yi Jin suddenly remembered that Ding Cheng was very good at kung fu, and interjected: "During the competition, only people from their own clan can participate, and outsiders are not allowed to participate in the competition." ”
Gui Wu said: "This is natural. ”
Although Yun Ying and Shaowu were not angry, they could only accept this proposal, and they couldn't make a better suggestion.
Elder Blue Eagle suddenly asked Yun Ying, "Yun Ying, I heard that there is a guest in your house?"
Yun Ying didn't know what Elder Blue Eagle meant by asking, but the clansmen had always been hospitable, so they should be fine, so he said respectfully: "Two days ago, a passing prince was bitten by a poisonous snake to save Xiao Yu, and he is now recuperating at my house. ”
Lan Ying nodded and said: "Then this prince is the benefactor of our clan, inform all households, and hold a hundred family banquets at noon tomorrow to entertain this son." ”
The plan was decided, and everyone dispersed, and went home to prepare for the competition.
The 100 family banquet is an old tradition in the clan, and all important festivals, or the arrival of distinguished guests, the clan will set up a 100 family banquet in the square outside the ancestral hall to celebrate.
At noon the next day, the men, women and children of the village all put on the most glamorous clothes and came to the square outside the ancestral hall of the village, the square was full of tables and chairs, and a cauldron was set up, dozens of men and women were busy back and forth, and the table was full of wine and food.
Elder Blue Eagle smiled heartily and said, "This is the rule of our clan, and distinguished guests should sit in this seat. If Childe refuses to sit down and spreads the word, others will say that my old thing can't do things. ”
Ding Cheng had no choice but to thank him and sit in the chief. After a while, the banquet started, during the banquet, all the clansmen toasted frequently, and some people sang and danced, and everyone joined in, as if it was a pomp and circumstance of a major festival.
Ding Cheng remembered the scene of the festival in Dali in the past, and remembered Rong'er. I thought of the small fishing village on the shore of Dianchi Lake again, and I remembered Qin Feihe who was familiar at first sight...
