"Zijing, don't say that." Sheng Xuanyao held the peach blossom cake and fed it to his daughter Sheng Feier: "Yesterday, my father and mother chatted with her in the guest room. She is very knowledgeable and skillful in old history. She is a A talented girl."
"My family doesn't value talent and learning." Sheng Zijing said in a deep voice, threw a piece of meat into his mouth, and swallowed it with apricot blossom wine, but his eyes seemed to be welded to Qiong Yi and it was hard to look away.
When the banquet progressed to its climax, singing and dancing became more and more popular. Qiong didn't drink either. She just sat upright for too long, which made her body a little stiff. She moved and heard someone not far away from the stream asking: "Master Sheng, what do you want with such a generous gift today?" for?"
Sheng Shangpei only watched the wonderful dance on the high platform and replied, "I just want to propose marriage."
A few simple words but like a bombshell, everyone present was shocked to cast their gazes, but Su Min was the only one who stared at the stage and did not look at Sheng's seat. Mrs. Yue asked with a smile: "Is it true that the Shenglu and Shenglu tribes are getting married, as the rumors say?"
Sheng Shangpei shifted his gaze to Sheng Xuanyuan, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Sheng Xuanyuan stood up, raised his hands to Lu Bin and said, "Sect Master Lu. I am the youngest son of the Sheng family, Sheng Xing, and I have become acquainted with your noble disciples, and we have developed a mutual affection for each other. . I have prepared some small gifts today, and I would like to get married to the Lu family and keep in touch with each other." After saying this, he motioned to the servants behind him to open the gift box. There are high-grade famous swords and instruments, rare items for improving cultivation, exquisite pills, and pure talismans, etc. Common objects as low as extremely rare, such as night-bright rhinoceros, flawless jade, white feather bracelets, gold silk shirts... are even rarer and more valuable than yesterday's gifts, and are hard to find and find.
Lu Bin stroked his palm: "Young Master Sheng is really generous. Naturally, our clan is willing to make good friends with the Sheng family and get married. Although the marriage is the order of the parents and the advice of the matchmaker, my young disciple's marriage must be governed by it." Her own opinion." After saying that, she looked at Qiong Yi. Qiong Yi stood up and looked at Sheng Xuanyuan. She pursed her lips and her whole body felt hot.
Not far away, he stood under the shadow of the whirling peach trees, with tiny bits of sunshine shining on his face. He held half of his hands in front of him, with a solemn posture, and asked her: "Miss Lu, are you willing to make a marriage contract with me? "
Qiong also saw clearly that the first two words when he opened his mouth were calling her, she smiled lightly, her lips trembled, but her voice was extremely clear: "Yes."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Lu Bin laughed: "Since my disciple agrees, let's settle the marriage. I should thank Sect Master Sheng for such a generous gift."
"We will be a family from now on, no need to be polite." Sheng Shangpei said calmly.
Xie Cong touched his palms, stood up and said with a smile: "The two Shenglu clans are really good at acting. Isn't it just to inform the people of the five clans about bringing my disciple to the spring banquet? Since we have made a private appointment, why do we need to spread the word? To this Spring Feast?"
"Of course it's to declare the five clans, otherwise wouldn't it show that I, the Sheng clan, are not sincere enough?" Shen Wei sneered and replied: "The two clans are getting married rather than forming an alliance, which makes Sect Master Xie Cong optimistic, so that no one will say that my clan formed a clique in secret in the future. Camp, causing imbalance among the five tribes."
"Mrs. Sheng, please don't judge others by yourself. How would I, Xie, think that way?" This marriage announcement was rushed, so I didn't prepare anything." After saying that, he sighed softly, his face full of regret.
"There will naturally be no shortage of opportunities to send gifts. If Sect Master Xie is willing, he can send gifts to my Lu family at any time. I will welcome you." Yang Suyong replied with a smile in his eyes.
When Sheng Xuan complained about the wedding announcement, the most shocked people in the room were Su Liming and Yue Huan, who were also acquainted with Qiong Yi. Su Liming breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason, and looked at Sheng's table, his gaze resting on Sheng Zijing: Fortunately...fortunately, the matter of getting married to the Lu family did not fall on Brother Axi.
After thinking like this, his heart condensed again: Sheng Xuan resented that he was actually with this Miss Lu. It had been half a year since Qing Feng listened to the lesson, but they had already made a lifelong promise, and yet at this banquet, they had the guts Really not small.
Yue Huan felt half admiration and half envy in his heart. He admired Sheng Xuanyuan's courage to propose marriage at the banquet, and envied him for finding his wife. He stood up and served the wine and said, "Brother Sheng, Miss Lu, congratulations."
Qiong Yi and Sheng Xuanyuan stood up to express their thanks. Qiong Yi raised her glass and drank the sake. She smelled the sweet wine but had a bitter taste after entering her mouth.
I don’t know how much I drink, but don’t drink too much, Qiong Yi thought to himself, he only drank the sake in small sips, not daring to drink more.
After several dances on the stage, another actor began to compose lyrics. The singing was long and deep, and the lingering sound lingered. In the stream, the waiters had already put the wine glasses and new dishes into the flowing water. They only needed to lean down slightly to reach them. Qiong also tasted the delicious pear, snow and jade crisps, and wanted to wait until the wooden tray swam closer to get them. The people upstream took it away first. She looked up and saw Lu Lanshan grinning at her and raising her eyebrows. She sat upright and said, "It's just a pastry. I won't eat it."
Sheng Xuanyuan watched everything silently, and put the untouched jade cake on his table into the running water plate and carried it away with the water. Qiong also saw the same cake coming, and was still surprised, so she raised her hand to fish it out. Come up. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste of pear blossoms filled the air from the tip of her tongue. She picked up another piece and put it into her mouth. Sheng Xuanyuan's face was clearly filled with joy. He held his chin and silently watched her put each piece into her mouth. It would be unsightly to eat the half-finger-long pear cake, but the eyes that were bright with joy, shining under the fluttering eyelashes, taught him no matter how hard he looked at it.
Seeing that Sheng Xuanyuan's eyes were about to fly to Qiong Yi, Qin Hanchuan laughed and said: "I still don't know how to restrain myself in public situations." Then he whispered: "She is already your wife, I can look at you however you want in the future. OK."
Qiong Yi, it’s me...
After Qin Hanchuan said this, Sheng Xuanyuan realized this belatedly, and suddenly felt like a dream. His face was blushing, he lowered his head to drink, and couldn't help but think about the deep and long-lasting love in the future. For a while, his ears were red and he didn't dare to raise his head.
The pear, snow and jade cake was very suitable to Qiong Yi's taste. She ate it very happily. After finishing the meal, she still held her face half in her hands to reflect on it. She thought to herself that this was really the most delicious pastry she had ever eaten in her whole life.
In the distance, the sound of the opera on the high platform gradually faded away, and the troupe took the stage for the curtain call. Everyone couldn't help but clasp their hands and praise each other. When the singer left the stage, everyone in the audience continued to chat happily.
"Xiao Wu, don't drink too much." Lu Yuhao said, "There are also fun activities such as 'playing with kites' and 'flower lighting' in the afternoon." Hearing what he said, Qiong couldn't help but become curious, and Lu Yuhao Then he said: "Spring food is a matter halfway up the mountain. After the lunch break, the waiter will lead people to the top of the Jiuhua Mountain. The scenery on the top of the mountain is better."
Qiong also looked at the top of the mountain still shrouded in smoke and clouds. The pink flower forest was covered with a thin veil, giving off some fairy spirit, and her heart was full of expectations.
"I remember that the reason why Mrs. Sheng was able to join the Sheng family in the first place was because she was able to win the competition due to her outstanding performance, right?" Mrs. Xie Zhou Shuqing saw that there was no one on the high platform on one side, and she turned her eyes back to the table by the stream: " I didn’t expect that today, Miss Lu would get married as soon as she said she was going to get married. As someone who’s been through this, people are a little bit unfair, aren’t they?”
Qin Hanchuan responded with a smile: "Yes, madam, you have a good memory. You can still remember things clearly from many years ago. My marriage to Xuanyao was indeed bumpy. After all, the five tribes are not close to people in the world, and I have Because of the 'trouble' in the martial arts community, the Sheng clan kept me here to seek revenge for my people in Fugu, so what does it mean to pass a passing examination? Now, as a senior, I naturally hope that my sister-in-law will be less embarrassed."
"Senior Qin, you are extremely talented and your cultivation is as high as the heavens. You meet the requirements of the Sheng family rules in every aspect." Xie Yangyu, the eldest son of the Xie family, said, "It's just... I wonder what ability this Miss Lu has to be able to join the Sheng family?" After saying that, he cast his peripheral vision towards Qiong Yi, who was not far away.
Wearing his own clothes, he attracted other people's attention.
Qiong Yi reprimanded in her heart, but smiled at his provocation by naming her: "Master Xie, don't look down on me just because you have never heard of my name."
Seeing that she was silent at first, Xie Yangyu finally spoke: "Oh? What is Miss Lu's ability? You might as well tell her."
The eyes of the several sect masters present were directed at Qiong Yi, and except for the two sect masters Lu Sheng, all of them were in a wait-and-see attitude. Qiong also knew that Xie Yangyu had made it clear that he was provoking trouble. If he accepted the offer, he would be riding a tiger, and if he didn't, he would ridicule him as a joke.
She had already guessed that she would be made things difficult for because of her "status" and "rules", so she knew it and would not give in.
"If you just say that everyone is a talented person, Mr. Xie will not believe it easily. Since you want to consider me, I will leave the rules to you. I don't care."
"Sect Master Lu, you have such a loud voice, my dear disciple!" Clan Master Yue Yu couldn't help but laugh, "It's interesting to have a strong temper."
Lu Bin just laughed and didn't respond.
Xie Yangyu raised his hand to Sheng Shangpei and said: "Sect Master Sheng, I have offended you. I heard that the Sheng family has strict rules and never leaves a useless person. If we don't compete with this girl Lu, how can we know her cultivation level and strength?" , if you can come to this spring banquet, even if you have an engagement, you have to compete for Miss Lu’s position."
Lu Lanshan raised her head and said with a smile: "So, Mr. Xie, are you planning to compete with her, Lu Xiyan?" Then she said: "Young Master Xie is determined to complain for me, I have to say thank you, but this engagement is between the two of them. It has nothing to do with me, and I hope you won’t mention me again when talking about this matter in the future.”
Xie Yangyu bowed and apologized, then looked at Qiong Yi: "How about it, Miss Lu, while there is no one in the martial arts stage, you and I will have a martial arts competition to entertain the sect masters."
Qiong also raised his sword and stood up: "Master Xie took the initiative to ask for a fight, but Mr. Lu didn't get it. Is there any reward for winning or punishing for losing?"
Hearing Qiong also talk about winning and losing, Xie Yangyu replied: "The winner will not be rewarded, and the loser will be punished with three cups.
"It's a deal." Qiong Yi responded and turned around to look at his master Lu Bin. Lu Bin didn't say a word, his eyes clearly said that he wanted to teach this troublemaker a lesson and come back victorious.
She nodded.
"Young Master Xie is the same age as Miss Lu, right?" Mrs. Yue rolled up her sleeves and poured wine for Yue Yu, asking. The eldest son Yue Huan on the side replied, "Yes, mother, we are the same age and have the same qualifications." He also said, "The last time I competed with Brother Xie was three years ago. At that time, his sword-pulling skills were already a little weak." I have mastered it, and I don’t know how powerful it is now. As for Miss Lu, she is quite good at You Zhui Sword, and I have already learned it when I was in Qingfeng Huiwu."
"Brother, who do you think will win?" Yue Huan's sister Changle asked.
"Lu Xiyan is no match for me, so I pledge my support to brother Xie," Yue Huan replied.
