Chapter 5 Wufu Birthday Banquet [Part 2]
Chapter 5: Wu Mansion Birthday Banquet [Part 2]
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Sihu walked to the gate of the Wu Mansion. After Zhang Sihu showed the invitation, the servants of the Wu Mansion immediately let go and led the way into the Wu Mansion. On the way, they passed by the Wu Mansion's courtyard. They saw that the courtyard was filled with tables and chairs, and each table was filled with rich wine and food. At this time, many people were already sitting at the table and drinking happily. These people were all ordinary people from the martial arts courtyard, so they were arranged to enjoy wine and food in the outdoor courtyard, which was actually used for storefronts.
The servant of the Wu family took Zhang Yuan through the outer courtyard and entered the inner hall. Then Zhang Yuan found that the hall was surprisingly spacious, just like the court. There were red carpets on the middle ground, and there were banquets on both sides of the carpet, twenty banquets on the left, twenty banquets on the right, and the main seat, a total of forty-one seats.
The so-called banquet seat is actually a single table for each person, with very short legs, so guests have to sit on a thick futon.
At this time, there were already many people sitting in the main hall, one of which was known to Zhang Yuan, who was Hu Yong, the owner of the Yangtze River Trading Company. Hu Yong also noticed Zhang Yuan's arrival and clasped his fists to Zhang Yuan from a distance to signal. Zhang Yuan also clasped his fists to Hu Yong, saying hello.
When Zhang Yuan greeted Hu Yong, the servant who led Zhang Yuan walked to the third seat on the right seat and made a seat to Zhang Yuan, indicating that the position was Zhang Yuan. Although Zhang Yuan was surprised that his actions were so forward, he was not polite and sat on it directly. Zhang Sihu, as Zhang Yuan's Changsui, sat on the cushion behind Zhang Yuan.
When Zhang Yuan sat down, he immediately attracted the attention of many people in the hall. Although there were many guests in the entire hall, the seats were relatively backwards. Zhang Yuan sat in the third place in the right seat. This position was quite eye-catching. Some people whispered and asked each other who the child on the third place in the right seat was...
However, before the topic of "Zhang Yuan" was discussed, two men and one woman came in outside the hall, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. After these two men and one woman entered the hall, they immediately became the focus of everyone. Most of the handsome men and beautiful women in the hall would clasp their fists to show off. The handsome men and beautiful women were also in front of them, and they were actually sitting in the second, third and fourth positions in the left-hand seat. It can be seen that the two men and one woman had extremely high status.
During the discussions of everyone, Zhang Yuan learned about the identities of the two men and one woman. The two men were martial arts rookies in the martial arts world...
One of the young men was Li Dong, who was gentle and gentle, smiling, wearing a long essay gown, but he was a disciple of the Tianjian Sect of the eight major sects and the chief disciple of the inner sect of this generation.
Another young man named Chen Feng was wearing a coarse samurai suit, short hair, and a cold face, giving people the feeling of keeping others from thousands of miles away. As for the origin of this person, no one mentioned it. However, judging from his clothes, this person is not a famous sect or a family member, but looks like a civilian warrior.
As for why the two young people have such a high status and such a great reputation, it is because they have reached the realm of first-class masters at a young age and have reached the threshold of the innate realm. Although they are not innate, they are the most promising people among the younger generation in the martial arts world who have the most hope of becoming innate martial artists. Of course, they will give enough respect and status to the two young people with potential. Maybe one day they will become innate martial artists, and then they will soar to the sky and even open the door to establish a sect.
As for the young and beautiful woman, Zhang Yuan only heard people around him calling Miss Su, Su Jia, and Miss Su, but his identity was not mentioned. However, the guests praised the girl surnamed Su's piano skills and praised her so that there was nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth.
"What does this woman do? She sings? How come these people feel like they have met big stars? But this girl is indeed pretty and has the potential to be a big star. If she put on makeup, she can definitely win a large number of fans." Zhang Yuan said intimately.
In fact, Miss Su is already a top beauty without makeup, and can even be described as a beautiful woman. However, Zhang Yuan has seen too many beauties in his previous life, especially those who have seen too many pictures of computers and ps. That kind of beauty is called perfection, so he subconsciously raised the standards of beauties.
Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged on the cushion, silently drinking tea, listening to the conversations of the people in the hall, martial arts dynamics, strange stories, and even the world, the one who talked the most was the matter of Marshal Zhu Jiukang's invitation to Master Liujue to fight.
Strangely, it has been a while since Marshal Zhu Jiukang's invitation to fight against Master Liujue, but Master Liujue never responded, neither saying agree nor rejection, and just dragged it on like this, and I don't know when it will be delayed. People in the martial arts world are very dissatisfied with this. Some people already think that Master Liujue is greedy for life and afraid of death.
As time passed, guests arrived one by one. In a blink of an eye, all the seats in the hall were basically all seated, leaving only the owner's seat and the first and second seats of the right-hand seat were still empty.
when!
Suddenly, two rows of maids entered the hall neatly with trays, and then placed wine and food at the table at each table. Each table was the same, six dishes, including meat and vegetables, vegetables and soup, and a pot of wine.
When the maids left the hall, a hearty laughter came from outside the door. Then everyone found that three people entered the hall. Zhang Yuan also looked at the three people entering the hall, but found that two of them were known to him, one of them was Lu Heng, an army advisor of An Minjun, and the other was Zhang Yuan's second cousin Zhang Cheng. As for the last person, he was an old man with half-white hair.
"Hahaha... I am Wu Chuan, I am 66th birthday today. I am so lucky to invite you to come here in my life. Some matters need to be handled just now, but I was unable to welcome you in person. Please forgive me, sorry, sorry." The half-white old man said loudly as soon as he entered the door.
"It's okay, it's okay, today's Mr. Wu's birthday, come and sit down quickly." Everyone present responded.
Mr. Wu clasped his fists around again, then turned around and said to Lu Heng and Zhang Cheng behind him, "Mr. Lu, the second son, please come inside."
"Please, please." Lu Heng and Zhang Cheng responded at the same time.
The three of them gave in, and then Mr. Wu first walked forward, walked to the main seat, turned around and made a seat in Lu Heng and Zhang Cheng. Lu Heng and Zhang Cheng were not polite, and each sat in the first and second positions of the right-hand seat, Lu Heng and Zhang Cheng were the second positions. When Mr. Wu saw the two of them sitting down, he sat in his own seat.
"Everyone, I am grateful to you for your 66th birthday today. Here I would like to express my gratitude to you all. "The old man Wuchuan raised his glass and said.
"You are kind to Mr. Wu. Today, my birthday is so good that you can give us your respect first. In my opinion, we will raise our glasses together and give our respect first to Mr. Wu and congratulate him on his 66th birthday. How about it?" said a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and obese body.
"Do you do this, and do this, everyone raises their glasses together and toast Mr. Wu." Everyone responded one after another, each raised their glasses and toasted Mr. Wu with a glass of wine.
Zhang Yuan also toasted with the crowd, but he poured himself half a glass of wine. When drinking, he just licked it. He had no love for wine, but was more interested in wine and food. The wine and food at this birthday party were made by famous chefs, and the ingredients were even more exquisite. Of course, the taste was delicious than home-cooked dishes. So after toasting a glass of wine, he never put down his chopsticks and ate them bit by bit, completely ignoring the high-end talk and poetry and songs at the banquet.
Others are talking big, only Zhang Yuan is eating and drinking, and his behavior is very obvious. However, he is young and has a high status, so of course he is not easy for others to say anything, even Lu Heng and Zhang Cheng have not said anything to Zhang Yuan.
While Zhang Yuan was enjoying delicious dishes, the birthday party unknowingly entered the second stage. The guests sent gifts one by one, some gave jade, some gave jewelry, and some gave calligraphy and paintings. It was a variety of things.
The order of gifts for guests starts from the two rows of the left and right seats, and then goes in the order of one left and one right. Unconsciously, it was the fourth guest in the left seat. This person was Chen Feng, a rookie in the world...
"I am poor, with little gold and silver, and no treasures. But two days ago, I won a sword score from Brother Li Dong and Li, so I will use this sword score as a gift." Chen Feng took out a book from his arms with a heavy face and threw it to Mr. Wu Chuan, who was the main seat of the birthday party. He behaved very rudely, but no one said anything. Mr. Wu smiled and took the sword score, glanced at the cover, his expression suddenly changed, and then he smiled and said with a smile: "Hundred Swords Art, good sword technique! Thank you little brother Chen Feng."
As soon as the old man Wuchuan said the three words "Hundred Swords", the hall suddenly became quiet, and then suddenly started talking...
Did Li Dong fight with Chen Feng?
Did Li Dong lose?
Did Li Dong lose the family's swordsmanship?
The unique skills of the old man Baijian! The unique skills of the sword saint!
Two hundred years ago, the old man of Hundred Swords, a master-level figure, is the secret of the Li family that is not passed down!
Li Dong is really a loser! He used the Hundred Swords as a bet...
All kinds of voices filled the entire hall, and Chen Feng, who was being discussed, still looked at Chen Sishui, and Li Dong always kept smiling, but his smile was a little stiff and his eyes were a little cold. Everyone knew that Li Dong was angry.
Zhang Yuan looked at Chen Feng and Li Dong with interest, and Miss Su was sandwiched between them, which made Zhang Yuan unable to help but think of some bloody plots, love triangle, two men fighting for one woman, one woman playing with two husbands... etc.
