"First glass of wine, I wish Junior Sister Hua a happy birthday, may you stay young and may everything go well!"
A group of young people gathered around the table, wine glasses clinking, and the young faces were full of smiles.
The candles were shining high, the wine was amber, and the wind was blowing on the table. The atmosphere at this birthday banquet was very lively. Although the tables were placed in a large classroom in Qingyan Valley, the tables were all made up of desks, and there were only candied dried fruits at the banquet, everyone was still very happy.
On the table, the white jade disciples, the green jade disciples, and the black jade disciples were sitting around each other without distinction. This was a rare sight in the villa. Just because there is someone here can unite everyone.
The host is a young girl, dressed in red and beaming with joy. She is today's birthday girl.
At the wine table, a young girl quietly pulled the clothes of the birthday boy in the middle and said, "Xiaofu, didn't you say that there are several senior brothers Zhenyu here? Why can we only see the ninth senior brother?"
Hua Xifu, who was already sixteen years old and knew his wife, smiled and said: "Because they haven't come yet. Ninth Senior Brother is afraid that distinguished guests will come to the door, so we are busy entertaining all the senior brothers and sisters, but we are restrained and specially inform the one over there who is late." Time. Now let’s just chat and eat the fruit. When the time comes, we will put the fruit away and serve it to the banquet. We will move an Eight Immortals table over there and invite them to be the main table and have a drink.”
The girl was suddenly enlightened and said: "Senior Brother Ninth is still thoughtful." Then she whispered: "But Senior Brother Ninth is still a little restrained."
The young man next to him smiled and said: "What are the restrictions with Ninth Senior Brother? Ninth Senior Brother is the best to talk to, there is no airs at all. If you want to learn or play, you can come to him. And whether it is white jade, sapphire, or black jade , he treats them all equally. It seems that you and Ninth Senior Brother are not familiar with each other. You will get acquainted with him in a while by offering him a glass of wine and chatting with him. If you have any questions in the future, just ask him for advice."
The girl said: "I know, but..."
It’s so outstanding and so dazzling.
Ever since Brother Ninth came to the mountain, he has been greatly cultivated by Master. At that time, many people were dissatisfied and knew that Master was majestic and harsh, so they just wanted to see his jokes. In the next year, the young man made rapid progress. His martial arts and talisman skills were better than others, and he was worthy of his status as a true jade disciple. But at that time, there were still people who complained that this kind of training was so intense that even a fool could do it. If I could be trained like this, I could be as strong as him.
But then Tang Zhao's promotion speed made everyone shut up. He actually progressed faster year by year. It took him one year to learn elementary talismans, one year for intermediate talismans, and less than one year for complex talisman groups and talisman formations. Similarly, after one year of inner learning and less than one year of practicing Gang Qi, you can master the art of sword control, as if it was taught by heaven.
Is this still a human being?
It's a pity that the disciples don't know that there is a word called "hanging", otherwise they would definitely think that this word was created for him.
Of course, so is he.
Later, Tang Zhao established a boutique and benefited all his disciples. Everyone benefited from him and accepted his skills, and no one said anything wrong with him. Although there are many Qingyu disciples who are very wealthy and do not need to sell goods in stores, they still like to visit stores and look for their favorite treasures, which is a rare pastime.
He is powerful, friendly, and brings tangible benefits to everyone. In addition, Xue Xianyun shows off this proud disciple intentionally or unintentionally. Tang Zhao is already the brightest star of Zhuoyu Villa. Unfortunately, Zhuoyu Villa is too remote and his reputation cannot spread down the mountain.
The young girl added: "Moreover, Ninth Senior Brother seems to be in a bad mood."
Hua Xifu looked carefully and found that although Tang Zhao forced a smile and joked with senior brother Zhen Can, he was not as energetic as usual, as if he had not slept all night.
Hua Xifu was surprised. Although Tang Zhao was busy, he was always in good spirits. He had never been like this before. Could it be that something happened last night and he didn't have a good rest?
She wanted to greet them, but at this time everyone came up to give her gifts in turn, so she had to accept them one by one and talk to everyone.
After a round of delivery, it was finally Tang Zhao's turn to deliver, and he carried a food box. Hua Xifu's eyes were filled with anticipation. Tang Zhao nodded slightly and said, "It's dumplings."
Hua Xifu immediately smiled like a flower and her eyes were filled with joy. She took it and thanked her profusely. She put it aside as a precious thing and did not take it out to share with everyone. Several young disciples present who were interested in Hua Xifu all thought: It turns out that Junior Sister Hua likes to eat dumplings, so they should pay attention in the future.
Tang Zhao took out two more gifts, first a Dou Fang, and said: "This is what I wrote for you. The handwriting is not good, so please bear with me."
Hua Xifu smiled and said: "Your calligraphy is not good yet, what kind of calligraphy is good?"
Tang Zhao smiled, his calligraphy was really not that good, especially the general Jinwen, that is, he could still read the generals among the dwarfs on the mountain, but at the bottom of the mountain, he was not even as good as the calligraphy of the scholar.
Hua Xifu lowered her head to read the words, and saw that it was a small poem: "Think of orchids for flowers, and pine for wood. The fragrance of orchids in autumn is far away in the wind, but the pine cold does not change its appearance." She didn't understand poetry, but the poem was simple and easy to understand. He immediately knew it was a blessing, and just as he was about to raise his head to say thanks, Tang Zhao took out another large book and said in a surprised voice: "There is also a gift, my specially made exercise book——"
Hua Xifu's smile suddenly froze on her face. Tang Zhao laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, it's a story that Jichun City just published. It's your favorite heroine story."
Only then did Hua Xifu laugh. She couldn't go down the mountain now, and she also liked to read miscellaneous books. Tang Zhao would find a new storybook for her every time he went down the mountain. This was also a thoughtful gift.
Tang Zhao said a few more words of congratulations before sitting down. A young man next to him looked over and said, "Senior brother, have you compiled a new exercise book?"
Turtle
Half of the people at the table looked expectant, while the other half were hiding in a daze.
The exercise set was also Tang Zhao's invention, and was done by Mr. Chen when he was teaching him to study. He first learned Fu Shi a few years ago. In order to enhance his learning effect, he compiled some exercises to consolidate his knowledge. He also asked Xue Yeyu to help add questions. Finally, Xue Xianyun also added a part, and then compiled it into a book and circulated it in the mountains.
There are indeed some gangsters in the villa, but there are also disciples who are really eager to learn. Even the Qingyu disciples who have paid money to come in are also willing to learn. This exercise set helps to practice the talismans, and the effect is good, especially in the primary learning stage, it also helps to consolidate Basics, checking for gaps and filling in gaps, very popular with everyone.
Tang Zhaodao: "This book is new. Several senior brothers and sisters have participated. It has twice as many questions as the previous book. It is divided into volumes for elementary and intermediate levels. When it is published, everyone will have a copy."
"oh--"
Exclamations in different tones. Some are happy and looking forward to it, and some are scared.
After a few more drinks, the atmosphere became better and everyone chatted casually.
Hua Xifu also whispered to Tang Zhao: "Is she in good health?"
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "You are in good health and you look younger."
Hua Xifu hummed, "Okay, no wonder you said it three times a day that I would be cleaner without you, so it turned out to be true?"
Tang Zhao smiled and said, "When you see Fan, you don't think about it, that's how you get to know each other."
Hua Xifu raised his head slightly. Under the candlelight, his eyes seemed watery for a moment, but then he seemed to be fine and asked Tang Zhao, "I think you are in a bad mood today. Are you too tired from studying?"
Tang Zhao stopped talking and said, "I'm a little tired." He wiped the dark circles at the corners of his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night and said, "The human heart is like an ocean, elusive. I'm afraid it's hard to change even with human power. God There is no endless banquet, but it is a pity if any dish is removed from the table, and it is regrettable if anyone leaves the table."
These two sentiments have no beginning or end. Hua Xifu is so young, how can they resonate with each other? She was also surprised that Tang Zhao was not a sentimental person, so how could he express such emotion so well?
However, she thought of her mother at the foot of the mountain, and felt a little melancholy. She said, "Yes, time flies so fast when you think about it. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than three years since we went up the mountain. Alas, did you know that Zheng Shou and Cui Qin'e broke up?"
who?
It took Tang Zhao a while to remember these two people. It turned out that they were the wealthy loser couple who went up the mountain with them, and they were also Qingyu disciples. Tang Zhao had not contacted them since he went up the mountain. At this time, he wondered: "Are they separated? Are they together? separated?"
Hua Xifu said: "That's not true. We don't care about separation on the mountain, so who will go through the formalities? They separated and looked for each other. Zheng Shou replaced several Mo Yu girls, and Cui Qin'e hooked up with the sixth senior brother."
Although Tang Zhao was friendly with the younger disciples, he really didn't know about these bullshit things. He frowned and said, "There's no such thing as bullying men and dominating women, right?"
Hua Xifu said: "That's not true. We on the mountain don't care about the identity of the people under the mountain. They are not qualified to bully men and dominate women. But there were several jealousies. Zheng Shou and Senior Brother Tong Guang fought for one..."
Tang Zhao was too lazy to listen and said: "What a mess. These people are not good people. Don't associate with them. Learn the thirty-seven sets of basic talismans early and move to become a Baiyu disciple. The environment there will be much better."
Hua Xifu sneered and said, "You are obviously younger than me, and your words are getting more and more old-fashioned. My mother didn't even push me to study."
Tang Zhao sighed, thinking that the fifth senior sister was really harmful to people. All the young disciples who followed her would become salty fish, so they might as well follow the seventh senior brother and get involved. Said: "Husband... I am also very worried about your study. Haven't you always wanted to go to the store? After I come back, if you can become a disciple of White Jade, I will give you a position in the store. Now is the time for you to study, There are some things that you can’t think about until you turn eighteen.”
Hua Xifu said: "I haven't considered it at all. Unless someone one-tenth as good as you appears, I will take a look. Hey, speaking of it, when will you consider it?"
Tang Zhao said indifferently: "I'll wait for eighty."
It was lively for a while, and the time was getting late. Several Zhenyu disciples arrived one after another, and the birthday party entered the second half.
Just as Tang Zhao thought, although these eldest brothers and eldest sisters were young, they had different auras, which had disturbed the atmosphere. Everyone said that everyone was casual, but everyone quickly became cautious. Fortunately, Zhenyu disciple occupied a table by himself, so Tang Zhao changed tables to accompany him. He quietly told Hua Xifu that whoever wants to leave can leave on his own, and even she can leave first. However, it was rare for the young disciples to be in the same row as these senior brothers and sisters. Although they were at a loss, no one was willing to leave the table.
At this point, the first disciple Shi Chunqing, the fourth disciple Xue Yeyu, the fifth disciple Fu Qinghuan, the sixth disciple Deng Chong, the seventh disciple Qin Haizhou, the eighth disciple Jiang Shenyi, and the ninth disciple Tang Zhao have all arrived.
Except for the second disciple who is in the capital and the third disciple who is staying at home, everyone is here.
People came in good numbers, but the atmosphere was not good from the beginning.
