Chapter 62(1/2)
"The old birthday boy is here!"
A shout.
The banquet had already begun, and everyone turned their heads and looked at the back hall.
At the center of the table, Chen Taixi, Xiao Mingyuan, and Guo Lianyue also turned around and looked over.
Everyone was attracted by the attention of a middle-aged beautiful woman and a young girl who was just in her prime, supporting an old woman with a noble lady.
Although the old woman was old, her body seemed quite strong and a kind smile appeared on her face.
The middle-aged beauty on her left hand had a smile on her lips, and she looked dignified and graceful in a long dress, with a polite manner, and a luxurious temperament with an approachable feeling, giving people a very good feeling.
The girl on the old woman's right hand instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
She was wearing a snow-white dress and light makeup, without any vulgar pink, but she was like a natural snow lotus, dyed with a little morning glow, giving people a sense of clear and beautiful, with eyes like autumn water, and a thin waist holding it, and her figure was very graceful.
The peerless charm is unparalleled.
"Sure enough, it's so beautiful..." The girl who came to the banquet felt deeply inferior and disappointed.
"I feel pity for such a beautiful woman..." "Indeed, like a fairy, maybe only those three people have the opportunity to have a love affair..." "Although Li Fan has been in the mansion for three years, it is enough to be with such a beautiful woman..." Many young men also spoke, all sighing.
Guo Shaoling, Xiao Liushui and Chen Yuting all had strong light in their eyes! "A beauty is enough to shock the sky..." Chen Yuting murmured.
"She is mine!"
Xiao Liushui clenched his fists secretly, determined to win! "Haha, I really look forward to your appearance in bed..." Guo Shaoling murmured silently, with a deep greed hidden in his eyes! Attention! Under everyone's eyes, Zhao Xuening seemed a little uneasy, raised her beautiful eyes and looked around, but a hint of disappointment in her eyes became stronger and stronger.
"The old lady is not as beautiful as her style and her blessings are long and prosperous. I wish you a blessing like the East China Sea and a long life than the South Mountain!"
At this time, the sound of birthday celebrations began to sound! In an instant, everyone celebrated their birthdays, which was very lively.
Old Mrs. Xu was also quite happy today and kept smiling.
"Old Mrs. Xu, please ask you for your blessings. Today's birthday banquet is really a grand event in the city. Even young talents have come to me. I heard that Miss Xuening is about to marry now, why don't the old Mrs. choose a son-in-law on the spot and be happy and let us have an extra glass of wedding wine, how about it?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man stood up and spoke with a smile.
This person is Tao Xingzhi, the chief minister of the Donglin County Magistrate's Mansion! For a moment, the lively atmosphere in the venue became a little subtle in an instant.
As we all know, although this grand banquet is famous for its birthday party, the real protagonist is undoubtedly Zhao Xuening.
Someone mentioned it at this moment, no matter how good it is! Zhao Nantang looked at Tao Xingzhi with slightest disdain and instantly understood that although Cao Weisan was not clear who was behind him, he obviously wanted to see his own side! That's why he sent someone to propose it.
"This is a good suggestion!"
"Miss Xuening is the number one beauty in our Donglin County. Who doesn't care about who the flowers fall?"
"Today, almost all the best young people inside and outside the city have arrived, enough to be worthy of Miss Schening."
Many people immediately agreed, wanting to watch the fun.
Those who understand the inside story are now watching Zhao Nantang! Zhao Nantang's attitude is the foundation of this scene.
Whoever chooses to be the son-in-law means choosing the same camp of that person.
Zhao Nantang is a military leader in warfare, and his attitude is equal to that of a warfare faction, and the situation in the court will become clearer as a result.
This birthday party, called birthday celebrations, actually fell on Zhao Xuening, but the last thing the world wants to see is Zhao Nantang's attitude.
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she smiled slightly and raised her hand gently. The lively voice in the venue was suppressed. She said, "I am just a granddaughter. Her lifelong affairs cannot be easily decided."
After she finished speaking, she said again, "Even her father can't make a decision."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became a little playful.
What does this mean?
The old lady smiled and continued, "My granddaughter has her own ideas. The only wish of the old man is to find someone who can show off her wishes. As for power and wealth, she doesn't care."
The contemplative expression on everyone's faces became deeper.
Is Zhao's family... refusing to take sides?
No one follows?
This approach is very dangerous.
If you don’t stand with anyone, you will be an enemy of anyone.
When the wind is strong, how can you tolerate trees alone in the forest?
A tree that is beautiful in the forest may not destroy it; a tree that is alone in the forest is truly difficult to last.
"Miss Xuening, this time I came, the young master prepared a piano song, and I dare to ask the girl to listen to it."
At this time, Chen Yuting suddenly spoke! He stood up and smiled. A follower had already given a Jiaowei Qin. He was in front of the seat, calmly and began to play the Qin.
The sound of the piano is melodious and unique, and it really lives up to its reputation.
Everyone was intoxicated during the meal.
"What a piano, what a piano!"
"Mr. Chen gave birth to a good son!"
"It is said that Chen Yuting is the number one talented man in Dongyue County. He is expected to enter the palace examination directly. He is really extraordinary!"
Everyone praised it.
After the song, Chen Yuting poured two glasses of wine, looked at Zhao Xuening, and said sincerely: "I can only drink my wish in this life with the lady!"
Everyone looked at Zhao Xuening! This was taking the initiative to advance, and the Zhao family would not allow him to move.
——Since the old lady said that Zhao Xuening would choose independently, they would take the initiative to force Zhao Xuening! But Zhao Xuening's choice is also the choice of Zhao's mansion.
No matter who you reject it, it means a real breakup.
"Let's wait!"
At this moment, Xiao Liushui also stood up, and went out to the crowd, saying, "Xiao is a common man, but the general protecting the country has outstanding military achievements and is famous. Miss Xuening is the daughter of the general. Xiao dares to perform his skills!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a jade sword in his hand. The sword light moved, and the audience was dazzling.
He moved quickly and had a full force. The sword flowers kept blooming. When he danced his sword, he was even more handsome. He raised his glass to pour wine without any stagnation! He slapped the table, and the twice-dollar drink immediately floated up. The "Woooo" sword sounded, and the next moment, two glasses of wine had fallen on the sword! He smiled and handed forward, "Dare you ask the lady to drink this cup together."
"Good sword technique!"
"So cool!"
"I am worthy of being the son of the general!"
There was a lot of praise during the meal, and many people who knew martial arts were even more shocked, because Xiao Liushui's swordsmanship talent was really good and he had a bright future.
In the corner, a young man shook his head subconsciously.
"Brother Yu, this son is quite accomplished, doesn't he attract your attention?"
Ma Shengyuan spoke unexpectedly.
Yu Buzhen smiled, "He has some talent for swordsmanship, but he is not the most talented person I have ever seen!"
"Who is it?"
Ma Shengyuan couldn't help but speak.
"You have seen this person, but your evaluation of him was not high at that time."
Yu Buzhen smiled slightly and took a sip of wine.
Ma Shengyuan was stunned for a moment, and felt extremely depressed... The adults seemed to have said similar things before?
Which genius person did you provoke?
He suddenly became a little...self-doubted! Hearing this, the middle-aged man wearing black gloves couldn't help but laugh.
...Chen Yuting and Xiao Liushui were all waiting for Zhao Xuening! Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at a table in the middle, Guo Shaoling! As one of the three most pursuing people, he had no reason not to take action.
Guo Shaoling had a smile on his lips, calm and calm, as if he was in the hands of his victory. He stood up and took out a few things from his arms.
"These are some of the industrial land deeds in Shaoling's hands. Together, they are worth about 170,000 to 180,000 taels."
"This token was given by the famous "Dao Ren" in the world. Seeing the order is like seeing people, and everyone in the world is respectful.
He taught me martial arts and gave me this order, which is one of my most precious things."
"In addition, this soft sword is made of three kinds of stainless steel, which is most suitable for women."
"Shao Ling is dull and has not prepared many tricks. However, if Shao Ling has anything, he will take out whatever he has. These are all my things.
It’s true love, but please choose it for the lady.”
After Guo Shaoling finished speaking, he poured two glasses of wine and looked at Zhao Xuening with sincere and warm eyes! "Although Guo Shaoling did not show off his skills, he was sincere."
“It’s true.”
"Hehe, why don't you show off your skills?
He has an industry under his command and a famous teacher behind him, and he has almost no shortcomings.”
Everyone spoke one after another, Guo Shaoling was unique and no inferior to the other two.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Xuening! Three people, three glasses of wine! After drinking that glass, it means which one they chose! Facing everyone's eyes, Zhao Xuening's crystal clear face appeared on her ice-snow face, and she subconsciously looked at her father.
To be continued...
