Chapter 1087 Pick One
Three days passed in a flash, and the sky over the imperial capital was as sunny as ever.
The city was still bustling, with people doing business and enjoying the scenery, but no matter who was free, they would look towards the east of the city, towards the direction of the Mu family.
The news that Mr. Mu wanted to recognize his relatives was released three days ago. Ordinary people may know it one day later than the powerful, but this does not prevent their curiosity from skyrocketing.
Speaking of Mr. Mu, no one in the whole imperial court does not know him. The former head of the Mu family and the current Tianshi of the dynasty suddenly retired behind the scenes and practiced in seclusion hundreds of years ago, but this did not hinder his widespread reputation, but added a bit of mystery.
Ordinary people were not qualified to attend this feast, so they could only look to the east and imagine it.
Those who were qualified to attend the meeting were very excited, and they rushed to the east of the city with heavy gifts and their closest and most outstanding descendants. For a while, all the traffic in the imperial capital converged to the east. The big shots who were rarely seen in the past were now seen by a group of common people. While counting the frames of the cars to identify the identities of the car owners, they competed with their companions to see who saw more big shots.
The Mu family, as the focus, was even more lively. The streets that were quiet in the past were noisy today. Fortunately, the Mu family was high enough to calm the situation. A group of big shots did not fight over trivial matters such as who was higher in status and who was giving way to whom. No one wanted to ruin their interest in watching the show today, let alone offend the Mu family.
The Mu family also fully demonstrated its uncrowned royal style. All the guests were arranged in an orderly manner. Even the most demanding people could not find any faults in etiquette.
Following the children of the Mu family who were led in, the guests slowly moved forward. While pointing out the beautiful scenery of the Mu family, they secretly communicated and discussed their suspicions. Occasionally, old enemies bumped into each other, and both sides smiled at each other and moved forward. They are not the protagonists today, and their little grudges are not as important as the upcoming drama.
There are many guests, and the main venue of the Mu family is chosen on a small hill with a beautiful view. From the top of the mountain to the bottom, there are tables and seats. With the careful arrangement, each seat is cleverly matched with the surrounding scenery, so that you can enjoy the scenery while enjoying the wine, and it does not hinder the view of the chairman on the top of the mountain. This move shocked many guests of lower status, and they secretly thought that the Mu family is indeed worthy of being a big banquet. Even such a small detail is so thoughtful.
As the focus of the focus, Li Chuyi felt like a fool today.
The Taoist robe he had worn for a lifetime was forcibly stripped off, and Mu Fangli forced him to put on a gorgeous but awkward Chinese robe.
"You are not ashamed, but I am! The clothes on my grandson, Mu Fangli, are not even magic weapons. Do you want people to laugh at me to death?!"
These are Mu Fangli's original words, roaring with saliva on his face.
Li Chuyi was helpless. He wanted to say that his master also wore it like this. Unfortunately, the Taoist priest was not around, so he could only let himself be stripped naked and put on this robe under Mu Fangli's angry glare.
At the end, he was sprinkled with some perfume powder. Li Chuyi almost cursed.
Although the perfume powder smelled good, he liked the smell, but the problem was that he was a man, not a woman!
Looking at Li Sinian who was trying not to laugh and Xiao Erhei who was grinning, Li Chuyi almost pulled out his sword. Fortunately, Liu Mingxiu calmed him down, and Die Meng also sent a message to tell him that the perfume powder was not a vulgar thing, and it had the effect of invigorating qi and concentrating the mind, so he did not get angry.
But he really couldn't accept what happened next. Mu Fangli even arranged for someone to put on makeup for him!
"Get lost! I won't obey you even if I die. Don't force me, old man! If you force me too hard, I won't recognize you. Do you believe it?!"
The maidservants were shocked by the howl. They were not only scared by the voice, but also by the word "old man". That was their old master!
In the end, Mu Fangli was not angry. Instead, he thought about it carefully and asked them to leave. The maidservants breathed a sigh of relief and were secretly shocked. They didn't expect that the old master was so fond of this grandson that he even put away his hot temper.
Li Chuyi, who got away, also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Taoist priests liked to be idle and wild. The stinky rules of the big family were really too torturous.
Men actually have to put on makeup?
Go to you Taoist priests!
He stood up and looked at himself, and walked around with his arms lifted. Not to mention, Li Chuyi also felt that he was particularly handsome today, with a bit of the cool feeling of a rich man.
Especially his belly, the fat man was more and more satisfied. Most monks have a well-proportioned body. Mu Fangli, who has solid muscles, is considered fat. How can his body look rich?
With this outfit and his little belly, who dares to say he is not a young master when he walks out!
It would be even better if I could be paired with a few pointed-mouthed and monkey-faced lackeys. My image as a little bully in the village would be confirmed. The Taoist priests would definitely be pleased to see it!
"How is it?"
No one showed off, so the little fat man could only ask Li Sinian, who was the most talkative.
And Li Sinian did not disappoint his expectations. After taking a few serious glances, he nodded sincerely: "Not bad!"
The little fat man was immediately very beautiful.
"It reminds me of chicken rice, colorful chicken, colorful chicken, tsk tsk~~!"
"Fuck! Where's my sword! Heizi, spray him to death!"
Xiao Erhei didn't move, but seriously corrected Li Sinian: "I remember you told me that chicken rice is three-color chicken, not five-color chicken."
"Oh, my fault, I got it mixed up, hehe."
The little fat man burst into tears.
These people just can't stand him doing well!
"Okay, stop teasing him. If you make him anxious, will you two get something good to eat?"
Liu Mingxiu held Li Chuyi down in time, put his hands on his shoulders and looked carefully, nodded and said with a smile: "Young master, you are so handsome today!"
The little fat man was immediately dissatisfied: "Repeat!"
Liu Mingxiu was startled, then his heart warmed up, and he nodded with a smile: "Yes, let's talk about it again! On the first day of the year, you are so handsome today, more handsome than my husband, right, Brother Nan?"
Just as Fang Junnan was about to respond, Li Sinian held him down first.
"Old Fang, you must be honest and be careful not to damage your Taoist heart."
Pushing Li Sinian's hand away, Fang Junnan nodded seriously: "Young Master today...he is indeed handsome today in the first grade of junior high school. I am not as good as him!"
Then he glanced at Li Sinian and said softly: "What my wife said is absolutely right. What I told is the truth."
The word "ma'am" was slightly forced, and Li Sinian was speechless. He raised his arms and hugged Xiao Erhei.
"Xiao Erhei, we are the only two people in the world who dare to tell the truth."
He hugged the empty one, but Xiao Erhei jumped away early, hiding and shouting: "Big white pig! Brother Yi, you are the most handsome today. No one in the world is more handsome than you. Why is Yu Haochen so young?" You are not worthy of wearing clothes or carrying shoes for anyone!”
"You...bastard!"
Just as he was about to greet Xiao Erhei, a cold light flashed out of the corner of his eye, and the Yaizhen Sword had already been fired at him.
Li Sinian hurriedly rolled on his back, and when he got up and saw Li Chuyi refusing to give in, his face darkened: "Sister Xiu'er, why don't you hold him down! You... I'm stupid, you fat man, I'm in a hurry if you come again! I It’s so urgent!”
Mu Fangli happened to come back. As soon as he entered the house, he saw chickens and dogs jumping around. He was stunned for a moment, then reached out to fish it out and lifted Li Sinian up like a chicken.
"Are you going to kill?"
"No, no, you're joking!" Li Chuyi was startled and waved his hand quickly.
Mu Fangli then put Li Sinian down, his face softened and he smiled, and at the same time he reached out and stroked his wrinkled clothes.
"I know, I'm just kidding too. Haha, young people are energetic, that's great!"
Although he said this, the color on Li Sinian's face had long since turned away, and Li Chuyi secretly swallowed his saliva.
The conscience of heaven and earth, they definitely saw murderous intent in the old man's eyes at that moment, it was very faint, but it could not escape their eyes. Especially Li Sinian, just in his hands, it was as if he had been through hell, his whole body was covered in cold sweat.
Mu Fangli was unaware, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, enough trouble, right? Just calm down and follow me out to meet the guests."
"Meeting guests..."
The little fat man almost choked to death. In a daze, he felt like the ladies in the building.
If a Taoist priest hears this, he will laugh to death?
Ke Ke still had to meet, and this was also the main purpose of Mu Fangli's grand banquet, which was to let everyone in the imperial capital know who he was and that he couldn't move.
Following Mu Fangli, everyone came to a nearby room, where the teleportation array had already been arranged.
There was a flash of brilliance, and when he looked again, he saw the chairman who had reached the top of the mountain. Looking down, the little fat man spent a lot of effort not to jump up.
"Old man, have you invited everyone in the city?!"
Li Chuyi felt so panicked. He looked down and saw that the crowd was full of human heads. He really looked like a colorful chicken standing on the top of the mountain for people to look up to. Why did he follow the Taoist priest to see the oiran? I guess the oiran also followed him. My general thoughts now.
"Old man, pay attention to what you call me when you get here. Call me grandpa, or grandpa as you say!"
Mu Fangli glared at him, and then said softly: "These are all powerful people in the city. Other small fish and shrimps are not qualified to be here, and you don't need to know them. Just get to know these leaders."
The little fat man had a bitter look on his face: "Let's get to know each other? Grandpa, you won't let me remember all these people today, right? I have never known so many people since I was a child. I can't I can’t remember it!”
"Idiot, who told you to remember everything? Just remember the important ones. You don't need to remember the rest. Just let them remember you."
After thinking of something, Mu Fangli smiled and said: "By the way, haven't you been thinking about that little girlfriend of yours that you miss so much? If you ask me, don't look for her, just pick a few below. Today. I think some of the girls here are really good. Tell me which one you like, and I'll ask someone to help you match them. I'll make sure that none of them dare to refuse and are obedient. What do you think?"
With a shiver, the little fat man almost cursed.
Just talk about how the old man dressed up the young master so beautifully today. Why is the old man still thinking this way?
If it were the stinky Taoist priest, Dele would be crazy, but it's a pity that the young master is not him.
"I have a wife." The little fat man said solemnly.
"I haven't found you yet, and besides, they may not like you. Even if I find you, it won't matter. You are my grandson, so you should marry a few more. I'm pointing to you to continue my family line! Come on, look carefully. Look, you will definitely fall in love with me, don’t be embarrassed, grandpa will make all the decisions for you!”
Old Man Mu was so upright that he wanted to cry, but Li Chuyi shook his head firmly and looked at him extremely seriously.
"I really have a wife, not the one I came for."
"Um?"
Mu Fangli was startled, then remembered something, frowned and asked, "Are you talking about Lu Heng's girl, or the young lady from that small family in Mobei?"
Li Chuyi really wanted to know how the Hao family would react when they heard this. The dignified Hao family, one of the Eight Extremes of the Eight Extremes League, was just a... small family in Mu Fangli's words?
But think about it, Mu Fangli is really qualified. Compared with the Mu family, the Hao family is indeed a small family that is not worthy of attention.
Sighing, Li Chuyi said seriously: "It's not Xiaoyu, it's Hao Youxiao, the small family you mentioned. Although we haven't married yet, we have decided to get married. Now she has something to do in the demon clan. When she comes back, I will ask my master to help me propose marriage!"
"A small family dares to let your master go in person? I will help you with this matter. I will send someone to Mobei tomorrow! Baji League, right? If you dare to disagree, I will demolish their mountain gate! By the way, Qingqiu is in Mobei, so there is no need to send anyone. I will notify him and let him go in person, so as not to give my Mu family face because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away!"
Li Chuyi was convinced by the old man's hot temper. He hurriedly smiled bitterly and held him down. He briefly explained the cause and effect. Of course, the charming part in Xuanbing was omitted.
Mu Fangli realized that he had misunderstood, but he was not embarrassed at all, and nodded as a matter of course: "That's right, they are sensible! Okay, don't worry about this matter, I'll do it for you! As for the demon clan... I'll try, there are not many people from Dayan there, and even fewer from my Mu family, but it's no problem to send a few experts to protect her."
Li Chuyi had a headache. He only realized today that old man Mu was still kind-hearted, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"This is really unnecessary. She... Hey, to tell you the truth, she has taken Lu Gu as her master and is now learning from her. You don't have to worry about her safety. Lu Gu will protect her. Ao Kun and Zhu Sanniang, the chief priests, also respect my master. As long as we don't go to war with Dayan, her safety will be fine. Don't rush to propose marriage to the Baji League. I haven't dealt with some things yet. I will handle them myself after I finish dealing with them. Don't worry about it."
Mu Fangli is an experienced person. He immediately understood what he said, but he didn't reveal it. Instead, he nodded: "Okay, then, let's do as you say. Tell me when you figure it out."
After he finished speaking, he was still not satisfied. He hesitated for a while and couldn't help but persuade: "Child, in fact, human emotions are the most complicated. They can be measured but difficult to understand. You don't understand the art of evolution, so you don't know that after reaching a very high level of evolution, what you comprehend is not only the way of heaven and the heart of heaven, but also the human heart, especially your own heart. There is a saying that 'One thought is three thousand' , just one thought has countless possibilities, and your mind is selected from more of these thoughts that contain countless possibilities. The basis for selection is often not your reason, but your subconscious instinct. "
"The result of instinctive selection may make you feel that your choice is in line with your mind, but it may not be right. In terms of derivation, this is the root of error, which is the fundamental reason that affects your deduction results, because your instinctive likes and dislikes make your deduction results have a great deviation. As for ordinary people, instinctive choices are impulses, which are a temporary impulse under various coincidences. It may be right, but it is more likely to be wrong. The fate between people is very mysterious, and the marriage between men and women is even more mysterious, but you must understand that marriage and fate are two parts. There may not be a continuation even if there is a bond. Some things that are destined to not continue, even if you pursue them hard, the final result is futile, understand? "
"Understand." Li Chuyi sighed.
How could he not understand Mu Fangli's words? If he didn't understand, he would not have made an appointment with Hao Youxiao.
This time, I came to Dayan, rather than saying it was for love, it would be more appropriate to say that it was to repay a debt.
He promised Yu Yao that he would go back as soon as possible, even if Yu Yao didn't care about him, but he broke his promise. Yu Yao's whereabouts are unknown and her life or death is unknown.
This is a debt, and he must pay it back, otherwise he will feel guilty, so he came. As for things other than the debt, that's all after finding the person. Now he just wants to find the person first and resolve his own knot.
"So...!"
Mu Fangli changed the subject and smiled like a kind father on his old face.
"Pick one, there will always be one that you are satisfied with. You don't have to worry about Hao Youxiao, she comes from a big family in Mobei, and she will definitely understand. Besides, it's more lively when there are more people, just imagine a group of people surrounding you..."
"Old man, if you keep talking nonsense, I will turn hostile, do you believe it!"
Li Chu kept rolling his eyes.
This old frivolous man, how can he act like a Taoist priest, there is really no one else!
