Seven bitter flowers

Chapter 12: No good feast

From the moment he stepped into the gate of Shangguan's mansion, Lian Zheng's surprise was like that of a mountain shoot after the rain, rising up slowly, and he couldn't go back under pressure.

The first thing that shocked him was the majestic gate of Shangguan Mansion and the golden plaque that could blind people's eyes.Lian Zheng didn't lower his head for the first half a day, and murmured in his heart: "Upstart", his young master is also a person who has been to Kaifeng mansion, drank tea and been a guest of honor. Kaifeng mansion is so awesome, everyone If you don't show off your wealth like this, it's really poor, and you don't know what low-key luxury is...

Standing at the door to greet them was Shangguan Yingyang's son. I don't know who he was, but he was probably called Shangguan Hong or Shangguan Tong. From dressing to etiquette and conversation, everything was impeccable, so Zhan Zhao still had the patience to follow him. He exchanged polite greetings, but Lian Zheng didn't pay much attention to him. In his young master's words, he has always regarded himself as an unconventional hero. His young master didn't care about Ba Nao's ghosts at all, and he didn't have to lower his style.

Therefore, this hero waited patiently for Zhan Zhao and Shangguan Hong to finish their chatter before entering the gate of Shangguan's mansion together. After holding back for a long time, he finally had a chance to show his face. Lian Zheng felt a little excited and turbulent.However, things backfired. Before the hero Lian Zheng had time to show off his superhuman style, he was once again shocked by the scene in front of him.

Of course, when the hero recalled the shock at this time afterwards, he was quite disdainful and had a set of rhetoric.The so-called reasonable, unexpected.His young master always thought that Shangguan's family should be a decadent one with poor financial resources and on the verge of decay, so when he came, he had a kind heart of gloating at others' misfortune and adding insult to injury, without adding a layer of defense.It is true that he has heard the sayings that "a centipede with a hundred legs is dead but not stiff" and "a thin camel is bigger than a horse", but the cruel fact is that his young master really did not expect such a gorgeous stiff Centipede, and such a skinny camel...

After waiting around many corridors with flowers and trees, and passing through countless pavilions and waterside pavilions, Lian Zheng's dropped jaw just closed for a while, and half of it dropped again when he entered the main hall.However, this time it was not because of how exquisite and elegant the furnishings of the room were, but because of the people who came to the banquet.

Lian Zheng stretched out his hand to support his chin, glanced around the hall, and couldn't help but crackle the little calculation in his heart: before he went back to Changzhou to meet Zhan Zhao and his father, Zhan Nanping, he happened to be in Mohua Village, Knowing that the three brothers and sisters of the Ding family also received invitations, it's not surprising to see them here... But, why did this kid Bai Yutang come over to join in the fun?Tsk tsk, the most unpopular among the five rats in the empty island is this white mouse, and he has the best relationship with Zhan Zhao. He is really a bastard looking at mung beans, working together, and a nest of snakes and rats... oh, oh, oh , isn't this scolding myself?

Well, it would not be unusual even if the Five Rats of Trapped Sky Island received the invitation and sent a representative to the banquet.But what is the reason for Liu Huifeng, the young owner of Guliu Villa, to come here?Could it be that his dead ghost father had any friendship with Shangguan Yingyang before his death?That's barely plausible. It seems that the Guliu Villa still values ​​incense and fire, and it's not all as ethereal, mysterious, and otherworldly as the rumors in the rivers and lakes say... The three girls in silk look familiar. From the look of their attire, they should be from Miaoyun Xiulou, but I don't know which three of the nine fairies they are...

As for the remaining luxuriously dressed young master, he should be Chang Jinpeng, the cowardly son of Chang Wuwang, Chang Wuwang's character. The scum, the scum of the rivers and lakes... But I heard that Chang Wuwang was killed when Zhan Zhao was handling the case last month. This time Chang Jinpeng appeared here, maybe he was looking for trouble. There are a few big fights to be fought...

Thinking of this, Lian Zheng completely forgot the fact that they were actually at someone else's birthday party, and it was unlikely that they would make a move. How could he bother his little uncle with this kind of thing, especially the trivial matter of fighting with a scum like Chang Jinpeng?Of course it was him. Although Chang Jinpeng's character is poor, he still has a hopeless true introduction to his martial arts. This fight will be considered a bit of a taste.What's more, even if Chang Jinpeng took some strong medicine today, he couldn't do it, wouldn't there be his little uncle behind him... Thinking that Zhan Zhao was there to support him, Lian Zheng immediately felt confident, and rubbed against Zhan Zhao. After taking two steps, he raised the corner of his mouth provocatively at Chang Jinpeng.

However, just now Lian Zheng was only focused on diverting his own thoughts, he didn't pay attention to the greetings of the people in the Zhan Zhaohe hall, and when he sat down with Zhan Zhao in the hall, he realized that Zhan Zhao was actually the leader.Lian Zheng took a silent breath in his heart, isn't Zhan Zhao always humble?But I can't see that he can sit on the top with such a big lala.As for Shangguan Yingyang, the old man was so hypocritical in the letter, and now that Zhan Zhao is at the top, there must be some kind of conspiracy...

However, Zhan Zhao's thoughts at this time partly coincided with Lian Zheng's thoughts.As soon as he entered the main hall, he already felt that something was wrong, because no matter whether it was emotional or reasonable, Shangguan Yingyang's mother's [-]th birthday banquet should not be these people.These people, including himself... are too young, even if Shangguan Yingyang makes a living by himself, these people should not be the only ones he invites.unless……

"Using immorality, he is in charge of the old things. Now there are rookies in the martial arts, and Brother Yu is getting old. How dare you continue to be the leader and make fun of the Fang family? There is no long-term effect, which can be seen here. This is earnest, not empty words. "

Zhan Zhao turned these few words around in his mind a few times, and he already understood three points in his heart.Therefore, when Shangguan Hong asked him to take the first place, he was not too surprised, and simply followed his plan, watching how Shangguan Yingyang would act, and after a few times, he calmly took the first place.

After everyone sat down one by one, Shangguan Hong got up with a drink and said a few words.It was nothing more than thanking everyone for their hard work and rushing here, and then vaguely mentioned grandma's birthday.Everyone agreed and congratulated a few birthdays, but the expressions on their faces were already unnatural.By this time, no matter how ungrateful they were, everyone had already seen that his Shangguan family was a drunkard who was not interested in drinking, and with a polite face on his face, they all secretly felt a little wary in their hearts.

The most angry person here is Lian Zheng. When he entered the Shangguan's mansion, although he was a little disappointed unexpectedly, he was optimistic and thought that since the Shangguan family still had money, this banquet would always be a feast. It's not bad, so I naturally turned this little feeling of loss into appetite, and in my heart I was eagerly looking forward to filling the gap left by eating with Zhan Zhao these days.He can understand Shangguan Yingyang's ulterior motives, but he still had ulterior motives in the Hongmen Banquet back then, but a person is a serious banquet after all, a birthday banquet like this one where he listens to a few words and eats two glasses of wine, forgive him for his shallow knowledge and has never heard of it.

But his young master is not easy to get along with, they are not benevolent, so don't blame him for being unrighteous.Lian Zheng took two sips of wine, cleared his throat, and said to Shangguan Hong, "Second Brother Shangguan, please worry about it. When my little uncle and I received the invitation from Senior Shangguan, we were really flattered. So I said to my little uncle: "Don't say that we don't look at the golden signboard of Shangguan's family in the martial arts, but at the friendship between us and Master Shangguan over the years, we have to come right away, right?" So I went to my second After the letter, people rushed here without stopping, and didn't even bother to eat a full meal on the way... Brother Shangguan, you are very considerate in hospitality, we all know it in our hearts, but we are in a hurry along the way. Brother Shangguan, if you don’t serve some food, you will starve me to death, hahaha.”

As soon as Lian Zheng finished speaking, Ding Yuehua burst out laughing, and said with a straight face: "Look at what you said, could it be possible that Senior Shangguan can let you starve to death?" The words were scolding him However, Yin'er added fuel to Lian Zheng's words, deliberately preventing Shangguan Hong from coming to the stage.Lian Zheng had quarreled with Ding Yuehua since he was a child. If there was no seven thousand, there would be eight hundred. How could he not hear the meaning behind her words?He coughed twice and was about to answer, when suddenly his foot hurt, but it was Zhan Zhao who stepped on it, Lian Zheng let out a "hiss" in pain, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.As soon as he turned his head, facing Shang Zhanzhao's threatening eyes, Lian Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to speak.

But when Lian Zheng made such a fuss, Shangguan Hong's face turned red, and he couldn't come down to the stage. Chang Jinpeng, who had been gloomy all the time, suddenly spread out his fan and said with a smile, "Brother Lian, this is just joking. I haven't seen it yet, Brother Lian is so thinking about eating, could it be..." Chang Jinpeng twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Brother Lian is actually a wine bag and a rice bag?"

Lian Zheng was angry in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he said lightly: "I heard about Brother Chang's great reputation in the Jianghu, and he really has a deep research on wine bags and rice bags. I think Brother Chang has already practiced it, no wonder he is so close to me, a wine bag and rice bag. , the previous one was disrespectful."

Chang Jinpeng has a very bad reputation in the Jianghu, but everyone is afraid of his father's reputation and dare not provoke him. He has always been used to bossing him around. A voice slowly came from inside:

"Brother Chang Shi, be safe and don't be impatient, let the old man say a few words." These few words were said in a deep and slow voice, but there was a faint inner strength, which shocked Chang Jinpeng's eardrums, and the word "you" burst out halfway. He swallowed and was about to go back, his voice suddenly became hoarse.

Following this voice, a person slowly turned around from the inner hall, red robe and silver belt, white hair and childlike face, but it was Shangguan Yingyang.

Shangguan Yingyang scanned the hall with a pair of eyes, and slowly said: "Jiaci's birthday, all the little friends have worked so hard to come here, I am very grateful. Today is also God's will, to let the descendants of our family reunite here Presumably, you guys also have a question in your mind, you might as well listen to the old man to say a few words, maybe it will solve the doubt in your heart.

"You must have heard about the old events 20 years ago, but you probably don't know what happened 20 years ago. That's because 20 years ago, Brother Liu Wuhen, Brother Chang Wuwang, Chang Wuwang, Brother Zhan Nantian, Brother Wei Yunqing, Brother Liu Zhengping, Brother Ding Jianxiong, Fairy Miaoyunlou Jiuhua, together with my subordinates, made an agreement." Shangguan Yingyang spoke in a low voice, and mentioned the names of several people At that moment, a pair of radiant eyes slowly swept across the people in the hall, and everyone's hearts trembled.He paused for a moment, then continued:

"Twenty years ago, Mo Gu's family died in a fire, but there was something else hidden. But, considering Brother Mo's reputation in the world of martial arts, we didn't want him to end up ruined. That's why we made a solemn oath. I will bury this incident 20 years ago in my heart, and I will not say a word."

Everyone was secretly surprised when they heard this, they didn't know what evil Mo Gu had done back then, and while they were thinking about it, they suddenly heard a soft voice from Qinglingling outside the door:

"Shangguan Yingyang, you spout blood!"

The author has something to say:

Caring tip: I thought Bai Yutang was really a kid’s shoe who came here to make soy sauce, please pay attention, Xiaobai came here on behalf of his teacher, and his master is Wei Yunqing, who used to haunt Chapter 6: Everyone has their own thoughts, welcome to inquire (^o^ )/~
