After leaving the palace, it was getting late when Shao Xi returned home. Before going to the palace, Shao Xi was still complaining in his heart that he was not living well these days, but now he was very happy.
This visit to the palace can be regarded as a new younger brother. Although the other person is actually much older than me, in terms of status, Xu Maocheng is really a younger brother now.
After returning home, Shao Xi began to think that tomorrow was the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September, and it was time for him to go to Wangyue Tower to complete the transaction between himself and the Seven Sons of the Tang Sect.
Shao Xi took out the Nine-Eyed Sky Stone and the other twelve Sky-Eye Stones from his pocket, and checked them carefully, lest there be any mistakes.
Of the twelve Sky Eye stones, three are red, three are gray, one is orange, and five are yellow.
Although Shao Xi didn't know what the Seventh Son of the Tang Sect would use in exchange for these Sky Eye Stones, Shao Xi believed that what the Seventh Son of the Tang Sect could offer in exchange for these Sky Eye Stones must be something extraordinary.
Shao Xi wrapped up the Sky Eye Stones again and put them in his pocket, waiting to go to Wangyue Tower tomorrow to meet with the Seventh Son of the Tang Clan.
Tang Ming's appearance didn't look very impressive before, but after hearing from Lao Wu that the other people were quite distinctive, Shao Xi became curious for a while, and at this time he started to look forward to meeting those seven people tomorrow. meet.
The next day, the ninth day of September, Double Ninth Festival.
Shao Xi got up early in the morning and made careful preparations at home. He hung the bag containing the Sky Eye Stone on his waist and weighed it with his hands.
I thought that after today, the stones that have been in my pocket for eleven years will be gone, and the empty pocket can be used to hold some commemorative things.
Although it was late autumn and the weather was already very cool, Shao Xi still put the folding fan with the words "One promise, one thousand gold" written on it on his waist.
After all, this was the gift that Tang Qing asked Tang Ming to bring to him. This time when he went to meet, he could use this fan to recognize him.
After everything was prepared, Shao Xi personally went to the backyard to take "Tingxue" out and left the house alone.
He had no intention of taking Lao Wu with him to this appointment. Although the old Jiu Mengzi was very experienced in the world and was senior enough to be among the seven Tang clan disciples, he heard that there was also a Jiu Mengzi among the other seven people.
If these two guys met and started drinking together, no one would be able to stop them. If they didn't do it right, it would cause a lot of trouble.
Besides, his trip this time was just to make a deal with the other party. He had already learned the details of the seven people from Lao Wu, so there was no need to take him with him to show off.
Shao Xi got on the horse but did not go to Wangyue Tower immediately. Instead, he walked around the city and went to Bailu Academy, Yuyan Bookstore and Yuyan Hall to look at his business.
Seeing that it was approaching noon, Shao Xi strolled towards Wangyue Tower.
The business of Wangyue Tower is still as prosperous as before, and it is almost noon, and there are only people coming and going, and guests are like clouds.
Shao Xi came to the gate of Wangyue Tower. The waiter who greeted the guests had already ran over to take the horse from Shao Xi, while another waiter led Shao Xi into Wangyue Tower.
As he walked, he asked: "Master, are you here alone? I wonder if you are in the lobby downstairs or in the private room on the second floor?"
Shao Xi glanced at the lobby on the first floor and didn't seem to see the person he wanted to see.
So he turned to the waiter and asked: "I came here today to make an appointment with someone. I wonder if you have a group of seven people here today? It should be five men and two women."
The guy was very clever. After hearing Shao Xi's question, he quickly replied: "Yes, yes!" He had just arrived and was in the lobby on the second floor. They also said they had an appointment with someone. It turned out that the person they were waiting for was Are you the young master?"
When Shao Xi heard that the seven people had arrived, he went up to the second floor under the guidance of the waiter. As soon as he followed the stairs to the lobby on the second floor, he saw seven people sitting at the two tables by the window.
Six people to be exact, and one person was sitting on the window, with one foot on the chair and the other foot on the lower edge of the window frame, leaning against the window and drinking alone. The other six people were chatting with each other.
Shao Xi recognized one of them at a glance as Tang Ming, and the clerk also confirmed that these seven people were exactly what he had said before.
Shao Xi asked the waiter to serve two tables of the best wine and food, and asked the waiter to charge these two tables to his account. The waiter readily agreed and went downstairs to prepare the wine and food.
Shao Xi took out the folding fan from his waist and unfolded it. While shaking the folding fan, he walked towards the seven people. After taking a few steps, he attracted the attention of the seven people on the other side.
Tang Ming looked up and recognized Shao Xi. He quickly stood up and came over to greet him. He bowed his hands and saluted Shao Xi. Shao Xi also hurriedly returned the salute.
Tang Ming said to Shao Xi: "Master Shao is indeed a man of his word. Not long after we arrived, Master Shao came over. Today, seven of us brothers and sisters came together to meet Master Shao. Master, please come with me. Let me introduce you to the other six of our Tang Clan Seven Sons."
After saying that, he led Shao Xi towards the other six people.
Shao Xi and Tang Ming came to the six people. When the six people saw Tang Ming coming with Shao Xi, except for the man sitting on the window, they were indifferent. The other one in the wheelchair did not stand up. The other four people all stood up and said in unison. Look at Shao Xi.
Tang Ming introduced them one by one to Shao Xi.
"This is our eldest brother Tang Qing. People in the world call him 'a scholar who has no intention of using anything.' There is no hidden weapon in this world that our eldest brother can't use. A leaf or petal pinched at random can hurt someone invisible."
The person Tang Ming was referring to was a man in a green robe. He looked much older than Shao Xi. He had a few strokes of a beard around his mouth that could be said to be delicate.
Although his appearance is not handsome, he has the air of a scholar. If Tang Ming hadn't introduced him, Shao Xi would not have been able to associate him with a martial artist. He looked like a teacher.
Tang Qing stepped forward, cupped his hands to Shao Xi, and said politely: "I am Tang Qing, the eldest brother among the seven sons of the Tang family. It is a great honor to meet you today! You are indeed as good as my third brother." He is said to be not only handsome and majestic, but also has a heroic spirit. He is indeed an extraordinary person."
As expected, Tang Qing lived up to his name, and his speech and behavior were all elegant. He looked modest, courteous, and gentle, and he spoke in an unhurried manner, but he did have the temperament of a scholar.
Shao Xi bowed his hands and returned the greeting: "My lord, Shao Xi, I don't need to introduce myself to you in the morning. I think brother Tang Ming has already told you about it. It's my honor to have the honor to meet you today. Here. Greetings."
Tang Qing asked with a smile: "I wonder if the folding fan I asked my third brother to give to Mr. Shao is still useful?"
Shao Xi smiled lightly after hearing Tang Qing's question and replied: "It's easy to use. Thanks to Brother Tang Qing's fan, I got a good apprentice. Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Tang Qing." .”
After hearing what Shao Xi said, everyone present looked surprised.
They had heard Tang Ming introduce Shao Xi carefully before, and they all knew that Shao Xi was only seventeen years old this year. They never expected that a seventeen-year-old boy would already have accepted him as a disciple.
Moreover, I heard Tang Ming say before that Shao Xi's martial arts level seems to be at most comparable to that of Tang Qing. Although a young man with "Qi Control Realm" can be said to be a martial arts genius, when it comes to accepting disciples, it seems that too early.
However, it is none of their business if someone is willing to accept a disciple. They have no control over them, so naturally they cannot make arbitrary comments.
Although it was obvious that one of the men and women sitting at the table had disdain on their faces, they did not say anything.
On the other hand, a little girl wearing a yellow dress, pink makeup, bright eyes and a cherry mouth, and a baby face said with envy: "I didn't expect that Mr. Shao has already accepted a disciple at such a young age. He must be very high in martial arts, right? No. Do you know how it compares to our big brother?"
When Tang Ming saw her speaking, he quickly introduced to Shao Xi: "The person speaking is none other than our sixth sister Tang Qiong. She is known as the 'Thousand-hand Yu'e Silk Lock'. She is good at using silk belts and grappling skills. This girl He has a lively temperament, is simple and kind, and is a talkative person.”
Before Shao Xi could greet Tang Qiong, the girl expressed dissatisfaction with Tang Ming's introduction.
"Third brother, you are really going too far! It's enough to say that I am lively and kind-hearted. Why do you say that I am a talkative? Is it wrong to be talkative?
"The eldest brother usually talks nonsense and makes sense when he opens his mouth; the second brother always wants to compete with others and is always fighting outside.
"Fourth sister has an unforgiving mouth, and there is no single sentence that can hurt others; needless to say, fifth brother, I have been drunk all day long, and it is difficult to speak a clear word to him.
"Seventh brother is also a boring gourd. He plays with those gadgets all day long and doesn't talk to me. And third brother, you, who are nowhere to be seen during the day and go to the roof at night, still have the nerve to talk to me? Hmph!"
When Shao Xi heard this, he was like a good guy! This little mouth is so loud!
Tang Ming just introduced her, but ended up making this girl talk so much. Why didn't he admit that he was a chatterbox?
Fortunately, there is no such person beside me, otherwise I would be annoying myself to death?
Tang Qiong was like a jumping bean. This output scolded several other members of the Tang Sect Seventh Son. As a result, the other seven people had different expressions.
Tang Qing looked dumbfounded; Tang Ming was speechless; the one sitting in the wheelchair must be Tang Lou, who had no reaction at all to Tang Qiong's words; the one sitting on the window seemed to have no reaction at all. Hearing what Tang Qiong said just now, only the other man and woman looked unhappy.
I saw the man wearing soft leather and light armor, with thick eyebrows and a square face, with a cynical expression, tilted his head and curled his lips and said to Tang Qiong: "Sixth sister, you have that big mouth, and you criticize a few of us all day long.
"We martial arts cultivators can keep our mouths shut if we can do it. If you have the ability, challenge me twice. If you can beat me, then you can do it. Don't just take advantage of us because you are a girl."
At this time, the woman in a purple dress with a gorgeous and charming appearance said: "This little girl, Sixth Sister, can only talk about flattery, and she talks about us! She herself talks so much like a little sparrow all day long.
"If any young man marries her home in the future, he won't need to keep a parrot at home, but I'm afraid that one day he will annoy him to death."
This woman's words immediately angered Tang Qiong.
"Fourth sister, I am your sixth sister! How can a sister talk about his sister like this? You also said that I can't get married. You have such a poisonous mouth. If you find a husband in the future, you will be very angry if you don't! "
The woman in the purple skirt retorted: "Who said I'm going to get married? Do you think I'm as young as you and think about getting married all day long? If I don't even have a little bit of future, what good is a man? I just want to get married all day long. Thinking of taking advantage of our women."
One sentence made several men present shake their heads. Who said there were three women in one drama? Two is enough for now!
