After changing tables, everyone at first wished Hua Xifu a happy birthday as usual and gave them gifts. Hua Xifu couldn't help being flattered. Although most of the gifts from Zhenyu disciples were not sentimental, it was already a good deal to come.
After giving the gifts, Hua Xifu also left, and there was only real jade on the table. The content of everyone's chat changed. They first talked about Shi Chunqing's experience of going out this time, and soon the topic turned to the trip to Jianzhou.
Seventh Senior Brother Qin Haizhou said: "Jianzhou is the ancestral land of swordsmiths in the world, and it is also the holy land in dreams. Those of us Talisman Sword Masters who cannot be swordsmiths may have the opportunity to set foot in Jianzhou once in our lives. Lao Ba Lao Nine, you must cherish it."
Deng Chong, who was about the same age as him next to him, said coldly: "You can't be a swordsmith in your life, and you may not be able to be someone else. What are you saying in a depressing way?"
Qin Haizhou chuckled and said: "I'm talking about us, mainly you and me. Especially you. What, did it hit your sore spot? Then let me put it bluntly, you will never be worthy of it in your life, the next life, or the next life."
Deng Chong said: "Then you will be in the next life, the next life, the next life..."
Shi Chunqing said: "Okay - childish or not? Do you still think you are a child?" He also sighed a little - these two junior brothers are less than one year apart, and they are real friends. There is no deep hatred and we had a good relationship when we were young. I don’t know when they suddenly turned against each other, but why did they become so incompatible with each other step by step? Now the eighth junior brother and the ninth junior brother have a good relationship, but don't follow these two bad examples.
Deng Chong turned his head and said: "Two junior brothers, I have a heartfelt message for you. You two are naturally talented, but there are many talented people in Jianzhou, and they may not be worse than you. What's more, we are a small family in Zhuoyu Villa. , how can you compare with those large sects that were a hundred years old or the year before last? After you went there, you lived a down-to-earth and low-key life. You answered whatever people asked you, and then you could go to the warehouse to pick out souvenirs at the end. Those are rare things in your life. Something. But if you provoke someone randomly, and seven of them are dissatisfied and eight are not angry, they may not be able to blame others for being beaten."
This was meant again. Qin Haizhou sneered and said: "But you can't be too cowardly. You don't even dare to raise your head when someone points your nose and scolds you. I didn't leave my family in the past three sentences, but as a result, I was scolded by my ancestors for more than ten years." Senior, you just didn’t dare to say anything back. It’s obvious that you are a soft persimmon. If someone doesn’t bully you, who can you bully? You still picked souvenirs. After you finished picking them, you were blocked on the road. You presented the souvenirs with both hands. It was a small thing to get nothing. In the end, you were treated as The whole Jianzhou knows about the joke."
Deng Chong raised his eyes and said, "I don't know who is the butt of the joke. Is it the one who was beaten until he was rolling around and fell into the pond?"
Qin Haizhou said: "It must be the one who squatted in the bushes when he saw someone coming, and didn't dare to look up after everyone else had walked away for half an hour."
Deng Chong said: "It must be..."
Xue Yeyu suddenly shouted: "A Zhao!"
Tang Zhao turned his head, and Xue Yeyu said in a deep voice, "Think of a way to isolate the sound."
Tang Zhao looked sideways and saw that there was still a certain distance between the two tables. Generally speaking, the other table would not be able to hear the conversation. He was afraid that there might be people with good martial arts skills and good ears among them who could hear the words clearly. .
It is best not only to isolate the sound, but also to block the sight line.
He looked around and saw two pots of flowers and trees nearby. He moved them over, blocked one on the left and one on the right in front of the table, tore off the talisman pages and wrapped them around the flowers and trees.
Talisman style - lush green vegetation!
The branches of the flower tree grew rapidly, and the leaves and flowers also swelled. The branches and leaves were entangled with each other, and in an instant they formed a screen, isolating the two tables from each other. The screen is green and full of life, dotted with fresh flowers, and the fragrant breeze blows, as if you are in a garden.
Xue Yeyu breathed a sigh of relief. This hand was really beautiful. It not only blocked the wine table, but also improved the environment, which somewhat restored the image of Senior Brother Zhenyu in the hearts of the young disciples.
Shi Chunqing stood up and shouted: "You two keep talking, I would like to know what other embarrassing things we didn't know about back then? It's best to speak louder so that all the children at the table can hear it! You also have a mouth. There is skill in it. Look at Junior Brother's talisman, can you do it so cleanly and neatly now, not to mention how you did it in the past? With such little skill, you still have the nerve to talk nonsense in front of Junior Brother!"
The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
Tang Zhao sighed, these two senior brothers were a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes. They were natural enemies. Not only did he not deal with them, they also divided the disciples below.
Letting the White Jade disciples study with the fixed True Jade disciples was originally for the students' homework, and it meant that "the teaching assistants would help educate the students", but they did not want to naturally divide the camps.
Now starting from the disciples of Bai Yu, the disciples below are generally divided into two factions. Qin Haizhou's faction, Tang Zhao's is called the "Gan" faction. Higher, more willing to pile up money on materials. The remaining disciples can only follow the fifth senior sister Fu Qinghuan, also known as the "fish" sect, and become a salted fish.
But this is not simply a difference in learning styles, but a real struggle between the same party and internal fighting and bullying. The two sides are tit-for-tat in any field, fighting like black-eyed chickens. That is to say, there are Shi Chunqing and Xue Yeyu above, who can control it more or less. In addition, the two of them know how to measure, so they can control the intensity and avoid making a big fuss.
Tang Zhao couldn't stand this kind of struggle, but he was a junior and couldn't care about his senior brothers' affairs. Furthermore, he was in a detached position and concentrated on his studies, so these struggles could not affect him.
Putting these aside, in terms of his background and study attitude, Tang Zhao is naturally closer to the Gan sect, but he can also do business with disciples of the Krypton sect, and his relationship with the two senior brothers is okay. At least I didn't blush.
Shi Chunqing had a fit, and everyone turned to drinking and eating. Tang Zhao maintained the atmosphere and toasted several times. Everyone started eating and drinking, and the embarrassment gradually got over.
When they came to Deng Chong's side, Deng Chong drank the wine and stopped talking. Tang Zhao said, "Senior brother, what can I do for you?"
Valley
Deng Chong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a small matter. Let's talk about it privately later."
He heard Qin Haizhou say from the side: "Come on, why are you hiding it? Tell people everything you want... hiccup..."
Tang Zhao saw that Qin Haizhou's face was red from drinking and his tongue was too big to speak. He quickly said: "Senior brother, you are too drunk. Why don't you go back and rest?"
Qin Haizhou shook his head and said, "I'm not going back, I'm still going to drink. I didn't drink too much... burp!" A mouthful of wine breath came out, and there was water in his eyes.
Deng Chong actually drank a lot, but his face was pale and he couldn't tell that he was drunk. He suddenly pointed at Qin Haizhou and said: "Haha, you're crying! You're crying, you coward!"
Qin Haizhou suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Coward, you call me a coward? Who is a coward?! It's because you are such a coward that you don't dare to fight back when you are bullied, which makes us at Zhuoyu Villa unable to hold our heads up." Come! In order to stand up for you, I beat so many people by myself and stepped on others... You, why are you so cowardly!" He said and lifted Deng Chong's collar.
Deng Chong was also touched, and then he turned back and shouted: "It's all you idiot - if I hadn't saved your life, how could I have endured so much? I've even brought shame on my family... You Why can't you understand something? You idiot, you idiot!"
As the two of them talked, they were already wrestling with each other. For a moment, the chairs overturned, the tablecloth was half torn off, and the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks rattled.
Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi were right next to them, grabbing each other and holding down the other. Fortunately, Deng Chong was still sane. He was pushed back into his chair by Tang Zhao and stopped moving. Qin Haizhou was so drunk that he couldn't help but struggle when Jiang Shenyi pinned him against the flower tree wall. But he was no match for Jiang Shenyi when he was sober, let alone drunk? It just keeps making noise.
He shouted: "Let me go, let me go! Jiang Shenyi, you come from a wealthy family, do you also want someone with the surname Deng?"
These words were nonsense. Jiang Shenyi didn't have to answer, but he actually replied: "No."
Then Jiang Shenyi said: "My family is not a wealthy family, they are all dead."
Tang Zhao turned around in horror and looked at Jiang Shenyi's side face. He saw that his expression was calmer than usual. However, Tang Zhao felt that he had drunk too much because the corners of his mouth were raised as if he were smiling, so he heard him whisper: " If you make a mistake, you will be punished."
Tsk—pass!
There was an explosion outside, it was the sound of fireworks.
Tang Zhaoru was granted amnesty and said loudly: "It's time to set off fireworks! There are fireworks outside. Let's go out and watch them together."
While everyone was out, Tang Zhao quietly asked Jiang Shenyi to send Qin Haizhou back. It happened that Jiang Shenyi also had several drinks, so he could go back to rest after seeing the others off.
Before leaving, Qin Haizhou actually burst into tears. He grabbed Tang Zhao's hand and cried like a child, saying: "It's all useless on our part. We have disgraced the villa. We have bullied others for nothing and we will never be able to repay them in our lifetime." , I can only be angry with myself. Don’t learn from us, and give Master a voice..."
Tang Zhao held his hand instead and said, "I understand. If you have any grudges back then, we will repay them for you." Jiang Shenyi said next to him: "We will repay you a hundred times."
Over the Qingyan Valley, strings of fireworks exploded, colorful and dreamlike, without any unpleasant color.
Hua Xifu raised his head and stared at the sky, his face full of joy.
Xue Yeyu was also very surprised. Although it was not for her, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart and said: "Isn't this really A Zhao's sweetheart? It took a lot of thought."
Shi Chunqing looked up at the sky and said, "I really put a lot of thought into it. Junior brother is a thoughtful person."
Tang Zhao also watched the fireworks. He asked Shopkeeper Liu to buy these fireworks and brought them up after going down the mountain. The effect was really good.
I don’t know…
Would it be effective to use fireworks to advertise a boutique in the city?
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a flower was thrown over and hit Tang Zhao on the shoulder. Tang Zhao turned around and saw a woman in red standing under a big tree in the distance in the night. Her figure was hazy, as if wrapped in a flower. A mist.
He was slightly surprised and ran over.
"You came?"
