Chapter 554 Guests
The earth will not stop turning because of the absence of anyone. Le is not in school, so it will have no impact on Qingdao students. The only ones who will miss her are her classmates and teachers. , as well as beautiful boys and friends.
The days went by like that. Just after the first ten days of the month, the representatives of the Guwu Guxiu sect family came to Beijing quietly, and each checked in at the place they had arranged in advance, and there were acquaintances. I move around a bit, but usually stay at home and don’t go out.
On the 18th of the month, Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao put aside their affairs and went to Chao Er's house. They took Uncle Hu and others to clean up the villa, make braised pork and prepare dishes.
On the 20th, the Chao family had prepared some dishes. When the 21st came, before dawn, a pile of fresh vegetables and meat were delivered to Mr. Chao, the owner of the hotel owned by the Chao family. The chef is also in place, and the domestic servants have been busy early in the morning.
Because it was the weekend, Miss Chao Er and her brothers from the Chao family were back, and the Chao family’s Sanjun and his wife did not have to go to work. The whole family, old and young, hosted the guests at home to entertain the guests that day.
Xuan Shao, Ji Shao, Jiang Shao, Zhou Shaohua and Xin Shao arrived at the villa of Mr. Chao at the agreed time and entered the villa area together. They went to Mr. Chao’s house and greeted the young and old of the Chao family. , please ask Butler Hu to get a bulletin board marking the route of Chao Er's house and place it on the road after entering the villa gate, so that visitors can follow the route and avoid going around for a long time without finding the place.
Mr. Xuan brought ten young men, and Mr. Jiang and others also brought two or three guards. The guards had already divided their duties. Some were on duty at the door, and some were responsible for pouring tea in the hall. .
The young master also slightly adjusted the seats and widened the distance between tables and chairs. He also asked Mr. Chao what kind of tea and wine he was, and looked at the place on the right hand side of the door where he is responsible for registering names. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, and I don’t have any comments or suggestions.
We walked around for a while, took the bouquets we brought to the fence gate and tied them on the fence poles. Several kinds of flower clusters were lined up in rows, colorful and colorful.
Just after nine o'clock, a car slowly turned from the road outside the villa into the villa area, and floated leisurely outside the courtyard of Mr. Chao's house. Two people got out of the car, one was about 20 years old. A middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a Tang suit with golden dragon embroidery that is slightly lighter than the bright yellow. He has an elegant face. Although he is not smiling, he always feels as gentle as the spring breeze. The other is an old man in a light green Tang suit who is nearly seventy years old. His face is full of vicissitudes. He was open-minded and looked down upon the situation. He was also carrying a square package wrapped in red silk.
They are from the Xuanyuan family. The middle-aged man is Xuanyuan Qinghong, the current head of the Xuanyuan family, and the uncle of Xuanyuan Chenbei; the old man is Xuan Yi, the personal bodyguard of the retired head of the family.
The two got out of the car and drove away. Xuan Yi saw the bouquet on the fence, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and the middle-aged man entered the hospital.
Young Master Xuan and others had sensed that there was a monk there and ran out of the hall. When they saw an old man and a middle-aged man walking into the courtyard like catkins, they secretly glared at Young Master Xuan. The Xuanyuan family is so unkind!
Seeing the elder, Mr. Xuan immediately ran to greet him. His beautiful and gentle face was like a snow lotus in full bloom, elegant and pure, and so beautiful that it could not touch the fireworks of the world.
When approaching relatives and elders, bow down and salute: "Chen Bei has met the head of the family!" The courtesy cannot be neglected. Even if you are an uncle or nephew, you must give the elders the respect they deserve in front of outsiders.
The head of the Xuan family reached out and took the child who was the hope of the Xuanyuan family, looked at it, and felt very happy: "Not bad, he has made progress again."
"Thanks to the little beauty. , my nephew has learned something." Mr. Xuan accepted his uncle's careful look with a soft and gentle smile, but he winked mischievously at the old man: "Master, Grandpa Xuan, why are you here so early?"
"I'm afraid that you guys are not knowledgeable enough and may not recognize some hidden masters, so we have to come and help you support the occasion, lest you guys ruin your children's birthdays."
The head of the Xuan family had a smile in his eyes. He looked at a group of young people and felt that it was pretty good. Most of the young people of this generation of the ancient Xiu family were gentle in character, but not as cruel as some previous generations. They were probably the so-called vicious generation. One generation of geniuses and another of mediocrity. Everything has its traces and cannot escape the law of reincarnation.
Xuan Yi said nothing, looking at the next generation young master of the Xuan family with kind and loving eyes.
When the head of the Xuan family walked to the front of the villa, Young Master Jiang and Zhou all bowed to say hello to the head of Xuanyuan: "Good day, Master Xuan!"
"No need to be polite." The head of the family smiled lightly: "You are busy with your business. I just saw the Zhou family's car outside. The head of the Zhou family is probably coming soon."
The young men nodded in agreement, and Young Master Xuan accompanied him. The elders entered the hall, where the young and old of the Chao family were waiting for the guests. Young Master Xuan introduced his elders to the old man and his wife, and then introduced several owners of the Chao family to the elders.
The head of the Xuan family and all the ancient cultivators are familiar with the connections of the little girl’s family. At this time, they are following the local customs and chatting with the master.
Mr. Chao asked the guests to take a seat, but the head of the Xuan family declined with a smile: "Mr. and Madam, today's guests are a bit special. My boy and his friends may not recognize them all. I am nearby. There are people sitting at the door to help the boys give advice. Don’t mind the old gentlemen. Just think of them as idle people that can be seen everywhere on the street. Let everyone come first, first come, and there is no distinction between seniority and kinship.”
< br />"Thank you, sir." The head of the Xuan family took charge of the reception, and Mr. Chao did not refuse. It is better to obey orders than to be respectful.
Mr. and Mrs. Sanjun of the Chao family suddenly felt that their pressure had dropped dramatically, and they were happy to be the shopkeepers. Moreover, they didn’t even have to worry about the tea.There are young people in charge, and they take the two children to the kitchen to take charge of the meal.
Xuan Yi handed the gifts he brought to the young master to register, and he took his seat with the current head of the family.
As soon as the head of the Xuan family arrived, Young Master Jiang and others guessed that people from each family would arrive soon, so they divided the work to prepare. Young Master Xuan, Young Master Jiang and Young Master Xin were in charge of the famous cards and gifts from each family, and Young Master Hua He and Mr. Zhou were waiting at the entrance of the hall of the villa building with their guards, and there was a young man waiting at the gate. They didn't need to say anything, just bend down for the coming guests.
Many people secretly prepared to start work. About half an hour later, five cars appeared on the road outside. They were all inconspicuous domestic cars such as Geely Great Wall. They arrived at Chao Er Stop at the entrance of the courtyard.
The person who came was Zhou Liu, the contemporary head of the Zhou family. He is Young Master Zhou’s father. He is wearing a blue Tang suit. He looks to be over sixty years old. His face is also similar to Young Master Zhou. He is very ordinary, but always confident. With an eye-catching aura.
One is Ji Yu, the head of the Ji family, who is young and about the age of 18, wearing a silver Tang suit embroidered with gold thread.
One is Hua Shanchuan, the head of the Hua family. He is about as young as he is, but not as old as he knows his fate. He wears a gilt-breasted suit.
One is the head of the Si family, Si Chunfeng, who is about sixty years old and wears a dark green retro buttoned top.
One is Jiang Shu, the head of the Jiang family, who is about the age of his destiny and wears a sapphire blue Tang suit.
The five family heads restrained their momentum, and their eyes occasionally flashed with a dark light, deep and profound. Each of the five brought a middle-aged and elderly protector or an envoy sent by the previous family head. The entourage all carried square gifts wrapped in red silk, as well as greeting cards.
The young man at the door bent down to welcome the guests. The five household heads entered the hospital like ordinary middle-aged and elderly people. They saw meaningful smiles on their young children.
The five heads of the family entered the hall, handed the name cards and congratulations to the young man in charge of receiving gifts, and greeted the master and the head of the Xuan family. The head of the Xuan family was very straightforward and did not introduce them one by one, just simply In one sentence, "They are the elders of the family who help the boys with chores. Let them sit by themselves without being too polite."
Since the head of the Xuan family was there, the five heads of the family were not polite. They went to the seats first, first come, first served, and they went to occupy a table.
The five people were still sitting, and another vehicle came outside the door. They were Chen Haitian, the head of the Chen family in Jiangnan Guwu, and the next head of the Chen family, Dongfang Jin, the head of the Dongfang family, and the young master of the Fang family and Fang. 8. Nalanchang, the head of the Nalan family outside the customs, brought Lan Qi, and each family brought congratulatory gifts wrapped in red silk.
The head of the Xuan family simply mentioned the names of the guests and asked the family heads to sit down.
The head of the Chen family and others entered the hospital, and then another car came. They were Huo Ming, the elder of the Huo family in Xiangcheng, and Huo Shishao, who were accompanied by a guard; the Helian family outside the passThe young master Helian Qingyang brought his bodyguard; the head of the Mo family from J West Province, Mo Xiaoren, brought people to congratulate him;
The people who came one after another entered the villa building of Mr. Chao’s house one after another, and followed him There were several more cars in front and behind, and two or three people got out of each car, carrying congratulations and floating into the yard.
When a group of people arrived, Hua Shao and others were slightly startled. Some of them did not recognize anyone. Among the visitors were the head of the Cang faction, Jin Shuzi, Duan Hong, the head of the Duan family in Lishi; and another person. The fair-haired, childlike-looking woman wears a fairy-like bun and a narrow-sleeved vintage dress. Her face is like the bright moon in the sky, her color is like a flower at dawn in spring, she is as light as jade, and as beautiful as a fairy. There is a young woman of about thirty years of age beside her.
Another person who is particularly eye-catching is a white-haired old Taoist in a blue robe, with sleeves like clouds, holding an immortal Taoist bone, and beside him is a little Taoist holding a Buddha dust, congratulations Wrapped in red silk.
Because he didn’t know each other, Mr. Zhou welcomed his seniors into the hall respectfully but not arrogantly. When a group of people entered the hall one after another, the head of the Xuan family fought with the head of the Duan family and the head of the Dian Cang family, Jin Suanzi. After saying hello, he turned to see the white-haired old woman and stood up respectfully and said, "The Immortal Lord has returned to the world of mortals. Everyone is lucky enough to admire the immortal beauty. It is truly our lifetime's luck."
When the head of the Xuan family called out the word "immortal master", the envoys and representatives of the Guwu Guxiu family who were already present were all startled. The master of Penglai Island is here?
Penglai Xiandao is the oldest cultivation sect among the ancient cultivation sects. It never participates in worldly affairs, just like the Kunlun authentic god who hides in the outside world.
They stood up, and at their age they still looked too young in front of the Penglai Immortal Lord, because the Penglai Island owner is generally more than two decades old before he is qualified to be called the Immortal Lord, or has reached the level of Nian Mie. Level, that is, people at the Nascent Soul level in the level of cultivation can also be called Immortal Lords.
No one has set foot in the world of mortals on the Penglai Immortal Island for more than a hundred years. At this time, the immortal doctor’s appearance at the ceremony was enough to shock the hidden sect.
"Are you a descendant of Xuan Wu?" The white-haired and childlike woman smiled brightly, and then looked at the young man who was responsible for receiving the name cards and congratulations. He was gentle and as beautiful as a girl: "You are six points like Xuan Wu. Shang, that kid over there looks very much like Ayan."
"The junior is the descendant of the Xuan family, and the child the fairy master mentioned is the nephew of the junior," the master of the Xuan family raised his eyes and looked at his nephew , hurriedly called: "Chen Bei, come quickly and see your great-aunt. Boys, you guys also come to see the Penglai Immortal Lord." Who is the fairy-like woman? She is the sister of his great-grandmother, who is the youngest daughter of the former owner of the Penglai Fairy Island.
He did not dare to neglect, and immediately floated out from behind the table, and paid homage with a loud bang: "Great-grandson Chenbei, please bow to my great-aunt."
"Good boy, Get up, today is the little girl's hair-raising ceremony, so you can't waste your time here." Immortal Lord Penglai stretched out his hand to help him.Seeing his great-nephew and grandson, he untied a string of beads from his wrist and gave it to the child when they met: "I never expected to see you today, and I didn't prepare a gift. This bead is made of sandalwood from Penglai Island that is 2,000 years old. It's a little treat for you." It's a small benefit, but don't be too polite."
"Thank you, great aunt." The elder gave the gift and did not dare to say goodbye. Master Xuan bowed down respectfully, took the string of beads with both hands, and put it on his wrist. between.
When Jiang Shao, Hua Shao and others heard the summons from Master Xuan, they all gathered in a group. When the senior and Master Xuan finished speaking, they all bowed down with their heads lower than their knees and bowed to Penglai Immortal. Greetings from the Lord.
The young woman supporting the Immortal Lord waved her hands gently, lifted up the young descendants, handed the congratulations to the Xuan family leader, and helped the Immortal Lord to walk to the seat. Penglai Immortal Lord said to The hostess smiled: "Old madam, let's leave this place to the children. We might as well go and sit for a while." , I dare not obey, for fear that we commoners will pollute the distinguished guests."
"It is my honor that the old lady does not think that my old lady is presiding over the guest." Penglai Immortal Lord has bright eyes like the moon, which can reflect people's hearts.
Mrs. Chao and her husband accompanied Immortal Penglai to her seat. The heads of the servants present all bowed to Immortal Penglai and waited until she sat down before returning to their seats.
Mr. Hua and others saw Immortal Master Penglai and quickly took their places.
The arrival of the Penglai Immortal Master also made each family dare not be careless and speak more softly. The Xuan family leader saw the old couple of the Chao family accompanying the Penglai island master. The Taoist Priest in blue robes, who was full of immortality, stood up and said to Qian'er again: "This junior has met Qian Sect Master, and it is truly a blessing in my lifetime to be able to admire the true appearance of Qian Sect Master."
Qian Sect Master Qian Wubing, the current sect leader of Lotus Authentic Sect, is also the oldest sect. Its status is second only to Kunlun Authentic Sect and Penglai Immortal Island. It has a longer history than Shaolin Emei Wudang. Because it is too low-key, people have always only heard of Shaolin Emei Wudang. I have never heard of the authentic name of Lotus.
"When I was traveling around, I was chatting with my junior brother. I learned that my junior brother's apprentice had a close friendship with the Xuanjia Jiang family and other young men, and the little fairy Le Xiaoxian happened to meet the little fairy and the hairpin, and my sect also I came to watch the ceremony and disturbed the master's family."
Qian Sect Master's Taoist robe fluttered and landed in front of the Xuanyuan family master. His clothes moved and his hair did not move. He was carrying an immortal aura, as leisurely as the clouds in the sky. .
"The whole Chao family is overjoyed by the presence of Qian Sect Master. The seniors went in to invite -" The Xuan Family Master made the invitation. Penglai Island and Lianhua Zhengsong leaders were both present in person, which shows that the Hidden World Sect is partying. How much anticipation and attention is paid to the return of the Immortal Medicine Sect.
Qian Sect Master nodded slightly, and nodded to his colleagues in the hall. After the little Taoist boy handed over the congratulations and name cards to the young people, he took the little Taoist boy Piao Ran to his seat, and went straight to Piao Piao with Chao The old man is oldThe wife's tablemate, Penglai Immortal Lord, was seated at the table.
Little fairies, Happy Western Valentine’s Day!
