Chapter 256 Gifts and Trouble
The master of ceremonies shouted: "A pair of hundred-year-old multiflorum and a pair of hundred-year-old ginseng..."
Although there are not many things, there are no gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques, but the Immortal Way has been annihilated for thousands of years, the vitality between heaven and earth is thin, and the quality of medicinal materials has also declined. Things that have been used for decades are rarely seen in ordinary times. This guy actually raised his hand. It’s a hundred-year-old medicinal material, Guaiguai, and it’s still in shape. Isn’t that shocking to everyone? Let Mr. Ma and the master of ceremonies lose their etiquette? These things can't be exchanged simply with banknotes. Even if you present a banknote of equal value, how can it be so exciting?
No wonder Kong Rang was in trouble.
There are some things that you can't buy even with a banknote.
The old man Ma next to him, Ma Rulong, was of course in the spirit of a dragon and a horse, but his expression was a little abnormal at the moment. Everyone thought that the old man was overjoyed, but he himself couldn't tell the pain. What is his own status in the world? He is like a mirror in his heart. How can he be worthy of the Righteous Alliance's love? Of course, the reason why people offer generous gifts and favors is because they hope that he will repay them in return. But how should he make a decision? Where can I choose a great gift?
Qiu Xidao took out a pair of folding fans from nowhere and placed them gently. He listened proudly to the trembling shouts of the emcee. He looked like a handsome young man in troubled times. In fact, Qiu Xidao was indeed worthy of being one of these four sons. Not to mention The wind god is like jade, and his temperament is elegant. Only he can marry Mr. Ma's direct granddaughter, and he can become the disciple of Chang Xin, the ninth deputy leader of the Righteous Alliance, and no one dares to stand up and say no.
Unfortunately, when Qiu Xidao was bathing in the admiration, jealousy, and surprise of everyone, he keenly sensed a slight difference in a certain direction. In the distance, the disdainful eyes of Master Qin, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an ordinary face, sneered at Yingfei. The look in his eyes, as well as the dull look on Zhang Xiaohua's soulless expression while sitting on the inferior horse, which had nothing to do with him, were like sharp thorns piercing into his proud heart.
However, Qiu Xidao fortunately still remembered his identity, and they were far away, so he couldn't vent to others for no reason, so he put away the folding fan and prepared to go inside. This move is also very rude. Your uncle is still standing to give you face and listen to your gift list, so you should move away first. What kind of person is Ma Rulong? He immediately said: "Son-in-law, are you tired? Why don't you go in and have a rest first? I'll ask you to come out after the banquet is over to meet all the guests."
Qiu Xidao smiled and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Grandpa. I am indeed a little tired."
Ma Rulong said: "Let's go, I have sent someone to clean up Yajing's room. You will be satisfied."
After saying that, he gave way to Qiu Xidao. How could Qiu Xidao be willing to go first? Seeing this, Ma Rulong felt relieved and walked into the yard first, followed closely by Qiu Xidao.
However, just after passing the corridor, Qiu Xidao seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the chrysanthemums planted in the yard and shouted: "Grandpa, look, your chrysanthemums are really good!"
Ma Rulong was stunned, stopped, and murmured in his heart, these chrysanthemums were just planted casually by servants, what's there to praise? Could it be that there was something in his words? So, he also walked to the chrysanthemum bed and accompanied Qiu Xidao to enjoy the chrysanthemums. While admiring it, I asked around, wondering what Qiu Xidao meant. Qiu Xidao, on the other hand, listened to the outside world and glanced outside the door from time to time. He only dealt with Ma Rulong's temptation casually, which made Ma Rulong confused.
There are many people coming to Ma Mansion to celebrate their birthdays, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a busy traffic. Moreover, everyone brings a lot of congratulatory gifts. The master of ceremonies also has to sing and read a little, which is time-consuming. Waiting for Yingfei to take Mr. Qin When he arrived at the house, Qiu Xidao had already been waiting impatiently inside.
According to Yingfei's idea, what are the identities of his own master and his family? Why should he line up here and rush directly into Ma's house? Then Ma Rulong has to bow to greet him? But Master Qin knew that the situation at this time was no longer what it used to be. The congratulatory gift from the Righteous Alliance showed a lot. He was still willing to hide aside and watch and listen more.
Sometimes private visits on incognito are also very interesting.
However, he didn't want to think about it. With his head full of white hair, he would stand out everywhere. How could he avoid the Ma family's eyes? What's more...
The master of ceremonies looked at the gorgeously dressed, ordinary-looking man in front of him, and was very surprised, and asked again: "This hero, are you sure he came to Ma Mansion to pay his birthday?"
"Yes, sure, sure, and definitely!"
"You didn't post anything, and you didn't prepare any gifts. You..."
No, Lord Qin’s dream of a private interview was shattered immediately! Not to mention your gray hair and your ostentation, at least you should prepare some "small gifts". Well, let's just say that you don't have any banknotes, just because you "admire" Mr. Ma's reputation and come to pay your respects. You should at least be sentimental about your famous post. If you come to pay birthdays with nothing, and without telling your identity, anyone will label you as "idiot" or "freeloader" on your forehead.
In fact, it's not that Yingfei or Mr. Qin have no experience in the world of martial arts and don't know how to deal with the world. It's just that based on their names, wherever their identities are known, they are respected and patted on the buttocks. Even if they can't even flatter them, how can they give up their pride and give a gift to the "servant" in their eyes? If Zhang Xiaohua didn't concentrate on studying "The Art of Earth Escape" at this moment, he would naturally remind him that it would be ridiculous even in the countryside to come to the house empty-handed. As for the name card, Yingfei, as a messenger of the divine religion, has the supreme title of name card. How can he prepare it?
However, the master of ceremonies has seen a lot of things in the world, and the Ma family has explained in advance that there are many heroes in this wilderness, and there are also some who are unconventional and independent. It is not clear what background each of them has. Birthday celebrations just want to be lively. , anyway, the Ma family is not short of food and wine, so there is no harm in eating and drinking for free. So, the master of ceremonies asked with a smile: "Mr. Ma is the most generous and willing to make friends with unknown heroes like you. However, I still ask you to state your name so that I can record your name in this prosperous world. It’s possible to be famous throughout the ages.”
With a "plop", Yingfei almost spit out, turned back to look at Mr. Qin, and said: "Okay, I will say this to you forever, just to let you know that the man behind me is called Qin Shiyue, Mr. Qin, my The name is Ying Fei.”
The master of ceremonies said: "I understand. If the person riding behind you is your servant, you don't need to sign up." In fact, the master of ceremonies was also puzzled. If he was a servant, he would naturally come to socialize in front of Ying Fei, but if he wasn't a servant Sir, this young man's clothes are not as good as those of these two, and his riding skills are also inferior, so I asked one more question.
Yingfei thought for a moment and said: "This young man is not just a servant waiting for me. He just comes out with us to see the world. His name is Ren Xiaoyao."
The master of ceremonies smiled and said: "I understand, Master Ying."
Immediately, he shouted loudly: "Qin Shiyue, Yingfei, and Ren Xiaoyao, the three heroes, congratulate Mr. Ma on his birthday!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure shot out from the courtyard. Before the person arrived, the voice came out first: "Haha, it turns out that the autumn wind is here, and you still have the nerve to announce your name, Qin Shiyue, Yingfei, and... How come I have never heard of such a name in the world? Why do you call yourself a hero? You are not worthy of any shame!"
When everyone looked, it was Qiu Xidao, Young Master Qiu, who had already entered the courtyard!
Qiu Xidao's sudden arrival and high-pitched voice made everyone turn aside. Even Zhang Xiaohua stopped studying and looked at him in confusion.
Qiu Xidao stepped forward and said sarcastically to Master Qin: "Is this brother with extraordinary skills called Qin Shiyue? The name is very good, but it is not loud. It is not worthy of Brother Qin to live in it? If you are unhappy, , you can come to the Righteous Alliance, and if you are not talented, you can also find a good job for Brother Qin. At least let Brother Qin go to the elders to celebrate his birthday next time. You can't do it with nothing, and you will lose face all the time, right?"
Qin Shiyue was pointed at the nose and lectured, and the warmth on her face was even better. She just smiled and said nothing, showing a rare sense of self-cultivation. Zhang Xiaohua next to her didn't think so. From what I knew in the past two days, Qin Shiyue usually behaved like this If the amiable appearance is a frown or annoyance, it means normal. But if the smile is more warm, it means something is not good. At least when the small flower acupuncture points are opened and torture is carried out, the face will have a smile like a spring breeze. .
Zhang Xiaohua secretly thought that something was wrong. Looking at Qiu Xidao's good skin, he felt pity and said anxiously: "Young master, you are really unreasonable. How can my family be as unbearable as you say? I just admire Mr. Ma's tightness, and my trip is in a hurry, so I lost my mind." I was careless, so I neglected it. After I pay a visit to the old man later, I will come out to complete the etiquette for my lord."
Qin Shiyue glanced sideways at Zhang Xiaohua, and felt a good impression in his heart.
That is, no one wants to be lectured by others, even if he has murderous intentions in his heart.
Yingfei also laughed and said: "Who are you? Where in Ma Mansion can you have room to speak?"
Qiu Xi said happily, "I knew you were ignorant, so I wanted you to know that I am the husband of Mr. Ma's direct granddaughter. Do you think there is a place for me to talk in this Ma's house?"
Yingfei added: "Although Mr. Ma is old, you have many uncles in the Ma family. It's not your turn to speak yet."
Qiu Xidao smiled and said: "This Jianghu man is in charge of Jianghu affairs. My mentor is Nan Fengyun, one of the nine leaders of the Jianghu Zhengdao Alliance. Do you think I have the qualifications to speak in this Ma Mansion?"
As Qiu Xidao expected, once Nan Fengyun's golden sign was revealed, weren't these three idiots scared to death? Even if they don't know the banner of Nan Fengyun, as long as they are people who hang out in the world, how can they not know the Righteous Alliance? And two of these three people were dressed in bright clothes and had magnificent horses. They should know about the Righteous Path Alliance and there was no way they would not give themselves such face.
pity……
