Chapter 215: The Eldest Prince's Birthday Gift

Su Chen smiled. This was interesting. The Mu family held a banquet to entertain the eldest son, but the old man, who was the highest person in charge of the Mu family, did not show up.

However, it was reasonable to think about it carefully. With the status of Mr. Mu, he did not need to appear in such an occasion.

After all, according to Mr. Mu Ba, the several sons of the Prince of Anyang County had to perform the etiquette of the younger generation when they saw Mr. Mu, which shows the respect of Mr. Mu.

Therefore, when it was discovered that the Prince of Anyang County might be suspected of poisoning Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu himself would be extremely surprised and unbelievable, because the old man had always been respected and treated with courtesy by the Prince of Anyang County.

Su Chen and Mr. Mu Ba said a few more words, and then someone came to inform that the eldest son had arrived.

From the gate of the banquet hall of the Mu family, a man wearing a red and purple brocade robe strode in. He was about 30 years old and looked quite handsome. He walked like a dragon and a tiger, with the appearance of a king.

Many people in the hall stood up immediately and bowed: "Greetings, eldest son."

"Haha, no need to be polite, please sit down." The eldest son waved his hand with a smile on his face, looking very elegant and easy-going.

Among the senior members of the Mu family, a man in his forties wearing a green robe stood out from the crowd, greeted the eldest son with a smile, and invited him to sit in the main seat.

"The man wearing a green robe is my second brother, Mu Zheng, one of the current heads of the Mu family. He is generally called Mu Erye." Mu Baye said to Su Chen in a low voice.

The current head is the person who holds the greatest power besides Mr. Mu, which is almost equivalent to the deputy head of the Mu family.

This Mu Erye seemed very smart and capable in his words and deeds.

Beside Mu Erye, there was a woman with heavy makeup, who talked enthusiastically with Mu Erye and the eldest son. Both of them seemed to be very familiar and close to the eldest son.

This woman was Mu Sanniang.

After the eldest son sat down, the banquet began.

Because it was just a family banquet, there was no complicated etiquette. After the dishes were served, they started to toast each other.

The eldest son was naturally the center of the whole banquet. Many people held their glasses to toast the eldest son and took the opportunity to find topics to talk to him.

But because there was really no topic to talk about, everyone's eyes fell on the geniuses brought by the eldest son, and praised these geniuses under the eldest son.

"These young masters around the eldest son are all dragons among men."

"Yes, for example, this young master Sun Yaozu, who is only 20 years old, is already a genius in the transformation realm. His talent is really terrifying."

Everyone knows that exaggerating the geniuses under the eldest son is equivalent to exaggerating the eldest son, because if the eldest son was not wise and powerful, how could he attract such outstanding geniuses to follow him willingly?

The person they praised was the young man who seemed to have the highest level of cultivation among the geniuses brought by the eldest prince to the banquet. The young man was wrapped in a black cloak and looked cold and indifferent.

"Is he from the Sun family?"

Su Chen noticed Sun Yaozu.

I didn't expect to meet someone from the Sun family in such an occasion.

Reaching the transformation realm at the age of 20, this kind of talent is considered first-class in Anyang City, enough to be on par with Situ Feng of the Situ family.

"Okay, everyone."

The eldest prince smiled and interrupted everyone's compliments, "Yaozu is shy, if you continue to compliment him, he will be embarrassed."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed again.

Second Master Mu also smiled slightly and said, "The eldest prince is a natural king, so he can gather such an excellent genius."

The eldest prince obviously enjoyed this compliment and smiled.

Then, everyone turned to talk about other topics.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes were five flavors.

The eldest prince put down his wine cup and said to Mr. Mu: "Mr. Mu, I came here today mainly for one thing. I want to consult you."

Mr. Mu also put down his wine cup and sat up straight: "What is it?"

"It's my father's birthday banquet next month. I have prepared a birthday gift, but I don't know if it is suitable for my father, so I want to ask you to take a look."

Although the eldest prince is not the biological son of Prince Anyang, these selected princes are also included in the family tree, so they are also qualified to call Prince Anyang father.

After the eldest prince finished speaking, he clapped his hands and told the people around him to bring a scroll.

The scroll was unfolded, and inside was a painting with magnificent brushstrokes, which made people feel peaceful.

"I found this scroll after traveling all over Anyang County and several surrounding counties. It's called "Cloud Dragon Viewing the Sea". It's said to be the work of Master Mu Lan. Frequent visualization can not only calm your mind and improve your cultivation speed, but also prolong your life."

When the eldest prince said this, there was an immediate exclamation.

"Oh my god, it's actually the work of Master Mu Lan. Isn't it said that Master Mu Lan has stopped writing a long time ago? His works are rarely circulated in the market. The eldest prince actually found a piece of it. He is really thoughtful."

"Yes, if the prince knew that the eldest prince prepared a birthday gift for him with such care, he would be very happy."

"Master Mu Lan's works are all priceless. This scroll is probably worth at least 500,000 yuan, and it is still in short supply."

"What's rare is that this scroll can actually have the effect of prolonging life. It is definitely a rare treasure. The eldest prince prepared a birthday gift for the prince with such a generous amount of money, which is enough to show the eldest prince's filial piety to the prince."

Everyone spoke up and praised the "Cloud Dragon Viewing the Sea" prepared by the eldest prince.

Su Chen was far away, and when he saw the "Cloud Dragon Viewing the Sea", he frowned slightly.

Second Master Mu put on gloves, picked up the painting "Cloud Dragon Viewing the Sea", looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded: "In my opinion, this is indeed the authentic work of Master Mu Lan. If this painting is presented to the prince as a birthday gift, I believe the prince will be very happy, and the filial piety of the eldest prince will definitely be conveyed to the prince."

The eldest prince's face was happy, and he said: "Since even Second Master Mu said so, then I plan to present this painting as a birthday gift to my father at the birthday banquet."

Eighth Master Mu was at another table, far away, and could not see The whole picture of the Qing Dynasty scroll, only to hear people praising it, he stretched his neck to look around anxiously, muttering in a low voice: "I think it's just an ordinary scroll, why do they say it's so magical."

Su Chen smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Mu, you don't need to look at it, it's really just an ordinary scroll, not even worth fifty taels of silver."

"What? Not worth fifty taels of silver?"

Mr. Mu asked back in surprise, because he was too surprised, he forgot to lower his voice.

Suddenly, everyone present looked at him with surprise.
