The excitement and intensity of this night only belonged to the battlefield in the suburbs, while the city was calm.
The big dyeing shop in Changfa Manor was even calmer, without any ripples.
It was calm on the young master's side, with only various information circulating silently. Although there was unexpected news, it was still under control, so it was naturally very calm.
Xing Cang's side was even calmer and a little weird.
He seemed completely unaware that the assassin he sent out was counterattacked and that he lost one of Yamashita's most important arms. He then pushed another wavering swordsman to the hostile side, which was a complete defeat.
He just closed the door and rested silently, neither causing trouble nor doing any work. He was like a retired old man who ignored what was going on outside the window and huddled in his thick shell, just waiting for the young manor owner to come up the mountain and make an appearance again.
As for the young master, he didn't deal with him, and he had no interest in coming to slap him in the face. He only sent the most idle people to keep an eye on him, and then got busy with his own affairs...
Just open the banquet!
The banquet that the young master was talking about, the hugely expensive and highly anticipated banquet has finally begun.
The generous and hospitable young master Jian Chenglong, the owner of the manor in Gangliang Mountain, the heir to Changfa Manor, the master of many swordsmen and sword slaves, made a brilliant appearance in Yulang City.
As soon as he makes a move, he spends money like water and is intoxicated with money.
Starting from the second day, the dyehouse was relatively quiet during the day. At night, the lights were brightly lit, the doors were open, the aroma of wine and meat filled the city, and BMW carved cars blocked half of the street.
Such a feast on the first day was okay, although it was also eye-catching, but Yulang City is now a busy place with a mixture of fish and dragons. There are many large and small banquets every day, and Changfa Manor is just one of the more luxurious ones.
But it was still the same the next day, another all-night party, another on the third day, and another on the fourth day...
In the blink of an eye, the banquet has been held for half a month.
In the past half month, every reputable person in the city should have known that Changfa Manor had a new owner.
This new owner is hospitable and wealthy. Everyone in the city, whether they are locals, foreigners, manor owners, wealthy businessmen or distinguished guests with mysterious origins from all walks of life, are treated as guests.
At the beginning, I invited people who had friendships and connections with the seniors in Changfa Manor. It just so happened that the Deep Shadow Festival was coming soon, and there were important people in each manor at the foot of the mountain. The young master took the post to visit everywhere and invited them one by one to entertain them warmly.
Immediately afterwards, he invited distinguished guests whom he had never met before. Whenever he knew the name of a distinguished person, or heard someone mention that this person was a good person, he would ask his swordsman to invite him with a message. If others accepted the invitation, please come in. Eat well, drink well, and establish friendship. Even if the other party doesn't respond, he won't be upset at all. Instead, he adds gifts, saying that this time the relationship is short, and he only hopes to get together again later.
The distinguished guests at the foot of the mountain were invited. Two days later, he sent a few of his white-haired swordsmen who had just come down the mountain to go back to the mountain to pick up the owner of the manor who was free at Zengliang Mountain. If you want to attend the banquet, you can come down the mountain. If it is inconvenient, When you go down the mountain, you should also give gifts first, and wait for the young master to go up the mountain in the future and then have a banquet.
In the end, the eldest young master moved a chair to sit at the door early every morning. When he saw someone passing by who liked him, he would personally invite him. No matter where he was, whether he was black or white, whether he was inside or outside, he would greet everyone with a smile. A banquet was held in the guest room, and no scruples were spared in fine wines and delicacies. The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves until late at night and at dawn.
There will be a big banquet in the back, and a flowing banquet on the street in front of the dye house. Long tables were set up along the street, with various delicacies piled on them. During the day, they mainly served fruit cakes and salty sweets. In the evening, there was wine, meat, and a full banquet. There are several lamps and candles lit in front of each table, and this cost is not small. The flowing water seats are not restricted to anyone's status. Neighbors and merchants walking around can sit down and leave after finishing their meal. It is no different from the weddings and funerals of the wealthy families in the Central Plains who build long tents and hold large banquets. The most important thing is that there are strong men like the white-haired swordsman sitting in front of the flowing water banquet. They look particularly majestic and majestic, and those thieves and thieves will definitely not dare to be thief.
The food on the flowing table must be fresh every day, and anything that cannot be eaten that day will be taken away at night and scattered among the slaves and even the poor people outside the city without any regrets.
After more than ten days, no one in Yulang City knew that this young master was hospitable, generous and filial.
How can you tell that you are filial?
Whenever the eldest young master hosts a banquet, it is always in the name of doing things for his biological father, and the first glass of wine served must be to honor the old owner. The eldest young master was crying in front of the banquet while holding the wine. He cried and recalled how wise and powerful his father was, how loving and filial he was, and how he was his father. Now that he is back and cannot see his father for the last time, it is so regretful. I can only ask everyone to pay respect to his father. A cup for father to comfort the old man's heart. And when his ears were full of wine, the eldest young master burst into tears and showed his heart as a dutiful son.
As for how the son can be popular and popular after his biological father dies?
Sorry, this is the Gangliang Mountains and Yulang, not the Central Plains. There is no such thing as abstaining from alcohol and following a vegetarian diet while in mourning. The eldest young master not only ate and drank by himself, but also set up an empty seat for his father at the banquet. He said that his father made good friends during his lifetime, so he was allowed to attend the banquet and meet new and old friends every day, so that he could smile happily.
What do you think?
Of course it was a compliment.
Eating fine wine and delicacies, holding gold, silver and jewels, what can you say that is not coming? As long as there is a moral gentleman who means what he says, he will not come to Gangliang Mountain.
After each event, the eldest young master said that on the day of the funeral on the mountain, there would be a big banquet for everyone, and everyone would be asked to show their respects. Everyone agreed that they would be there on that day. If even one tenth of these people come, Changfa Manor may not be able to accommodate them.
On this evening, the aroma of wine once again filled the alleyway. The lanterns were first lit, and the tall candles were dimly lit. The halo was mixed with the aroma of wine and meat. Accompanied by the noisy sounds of the guests at the banquet, who were shouting and drinking, pushing cups and changing cups, there was a sense of In the dream, I don’t know what night it is.
A woman walked alone through the alley. She was so quiet, and she was completely different from the excitement overflowing next to her.
Jiang Shenyi, who was presiding over the flowing banquet outside, was directing several teenage children to serve wine and food. He turned around and saw the woman. His surprise flashed across his face and he smiled: "A rare guest. Long time no see."
The woman gently smoothed her gray hair and said calmly, "Long time no see. Are you okay? Is Ariel okay?"
Jiang Shenyi said: "We are doing well. As you can see, we have food and drink, and are carefree. As for Ariel, how could she be bad? Even if you don't leave her to us to take care of, she was brought by us. , will he abuse her? You see, children of about the same age have to work, but she doesn’t have to do it.”
That woman was naturally Chi Mingjing. Since she went to rescue Xingwu that night, she had only come back once, to bring Feng Zhilie back, and then went out alone.
It took more than ten days to go.
She has a cooperative relationship with them, and theoretically they should not interfere with each other, so Tang Zhao and the others didn't ask her where she went. It doesn't matter if she never comes back, as long as she stays out of the way.
In fact, Tang Zhao also guessed where she went from the news from Bai Hu.
I heard that her target went down the mountain to find a place to do things.
I just didn't expect that she would come back.
Theoretically, the cooperation between the two parties has not been terminated, and has not even officially begun, so Chi Mingjing pretends to go home, and Jiang Shenyi cannot stop her from entering. At most, he is curious, did she succeed or fail when she went out this time?
But after all, it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so Jiang Shenyi only asked: "It's good to come back. Are you hungry? Eat something hot."
Chi Mingjing was startled, suddenly stopped, stood quietly for a while, and said, "Okay."
There happened to be a noodle table near Jiang Shenyi, and there were freshly served hot dishes on the table. The chill of the night was still there, so two hot pots were placed, one stewed with mutton and the other stewed tofu. Chi Mingjing took the bowl and served himself a bowl of steaming hot soup and hot dishes. First he took a piece of hot tofu and took a bite. There was a child next to her who cleverly stepped forward and poured her hot milk tea.
As we were eating, we heard a burst of cheers from behind the dye house. Apparently something exciting happened at the banquet.
The sound was loud, but the people at the table didn't care. Isn't it just something that happens at banquets? It's not that big of a deal. Maybe just one person picking up a big bowl and drinking it all in one gulp can cause the whole table to laugh and shout.
Chi Mingjing actually stayed in the suburbs for a few days, but he vaguely heard about the nightly banquets here, and asked, "By the way, who is here again today?"
Jiang Shenyi said: "There are more than a dozen guests here today. As you may know, the chief guests are the two heads of Changyi Manor."
There was only a clang sound, but the spoon in Chi Mingjing's hand fell to the table. Just because there were noisy sounds all around, no one cared.
Chi Mingjing's previously calm and even comfortable demeanor was gone, his eyebrows were raised, and he gritted his teeth and said: "So it's here...it's actually here!"
When Jiang Shenyi was stunned, Chi Mingjing had already stood up and rushed into the back room with lightning speed.
There was only half a bowl of steaming vegetable soup left.
Chi Mingjing was angry and happy at the same time. Angry because she wasted a lot of time, but happy that she finally found it.
Passing through the front yard, you can see that the back hall is brightly lit and increasingly noisy.
She had just been impulsive and wished she could rush there immediately, but when she got there she calmed down and did not go directly in. She went around to a side door where food and wine were delivered to peek into the lobby.
As I approached the side gate, I immediately smelled the smell of blood.
Chi Mingjing's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: Didn't you drink? Why is there still the smell of blood? There was a conflict in the lobby and it became a killing ground?
I heard a dangerous voice inside whisper: "Okay, let's carry it away. Go to the side room and hand it over to Zi Su."
The sound of footsteps came, but it was two teenagers who carefully carried a man out who was covered in blood.
Chi Mingjing turned sideways and glanced at him, but he didn't recognize him. He only thought he was young. He could be called a teenager. He looked seriously injured but still alive.
After entering the side door, he saw Wei Se washing his hands in a basin in a small room separated by a screen. The water in the basin was dyed blood. There are bandages and medicines in a box next to it, which must have been used just now.
Next to him, there was a boy sitting, half covered with blood, but with a calm expression. His face, which could even be said to be young, seemed numb to the blood.
Chi Mingjing looked at him and felt that he was kind-hearted, as if he was one of the four precious slaves brought by the young master. But when he saw those eyes, he was shocked, as if he saw himself in a certain period, and asked: "What? Banquet?" Did you kill someone?"
