Chapter 556 The Guest
The earth will not stop spinning just because someone is missing. Le is not in school, so it will have no impact on the young college students. The only ones who will miss her are her classmates, teachers, 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 stayed in their pre-arranged place. Those who were familiar with him would move around a bit, and they usually stayed at home. 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 Chao Erye. The chefs from the Chao family's hotels were also in place, and the domestic servants It was 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 young and old of the family were at home to entertain the guests who were coming that day.
Mr. Xuan, Mr. Ji, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zhou Shaohua and Mr. Shao Xin arrived at the villa of Mr. Chao at the appointed time and entered the villa area together. They went to Mr. Chao's house and greeted the young and old of the Chao family and asked Butler Hu to get a token. The bulletin board showing the route of Chao Er's house was placed on the road behind the gate of the villa to make it easier for visitors to follow the route and avoid having to go around for a long time without finding the place.
Young Master Xuan was accompanied by ten young men, and Young Master Jiang and others were also accompanied by two or three guards. The guards had already divided their duties. Some were on duty at the door, while others were responsible for pouring tea in the hall and other tasks.
The young master also slightly adjusted the seats, widening the distance between tables and chairs, and asked Mr. Chao what kind of tea and wine he was. He looked at the place on the right hand side of the door where he was responsible for registering names. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it. No comments or suggestions.
After walking around for a while, they took the bouquets they brought to the fence gate and tied them on the fence poles. Several kinds of flower clusters were lined up in rows, colorful.
Just after nine o'clock, a car slowly turned from the road outside the villa into the villa area, and floated gently to the outside of Mr. Chao's house. Two people got out of the car, one was a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, Wearing a Tang suit that is slightly lighter than bright yellow and embroidered with dark patterns of gold dragons, she looks elegant and even though she is not smiling, she always feels as gentle and elegant as the spring breeze.
The other is an old man in a pale green Tang suit who is nearly seventy years old. His face is full of open-mindedness that is indifferent to the situation. He is also carrying a square package wrapped in red silk.
They are from the Xuanyuan family, and the middle-aged man is Xuanyuan Qinghong, the contemporary head of the Xuanyuan family, and the eldest 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. He was elegant and pure, so beautiful that he could not touch the fireworks of the world.
As he approaches his relatives and elders, he bows and salutes: "Chen Bei has met the master of the family!"
Etiquette cannot be discarded. Even if you are a close uncle or nephew, the respect you deserve in front of outsiders must be given to your elders.
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 smiled softly and elegantly as he accepted his uncle's careful look, 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 support you, 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 thought it was pretty good. Most of the young people of this generation of ancient Xiu family were gentle in character, but not as cruel as some previous generations. It was roughly the so-called fierce generation, gentle generation, genius generation and mediocre generation. , everything is traceable, and there is no way to escape from the law of reincarnation.
Xuan Yi said nothing and looked 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 the Xuanyuan family: "Good day, Master Xuan!"
"No need to be polite." The head of the Xuan 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 the elders into 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 the old lady, and then introduced several owners of the Chao family to the elders.
The head of the Xuan family and all the ancient cultivators knew something about the connections of the little girl's family, so they were following the local customs and chatting with the master.
Mr. Chao asked the guests to take a seat first, 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 will sit near the door to help the boys. Make a point.
Don't worry about the old gentlemen, just think of them as idle people that can be seen everywhere on the street. Everyone comes first, then arrives, and there is no distinction between seniority and kinship. ”
"Thank you, sir." The head of the Xuan family took charge of the reception. Mr. Chao did not refuse. It was better to obey orders than to be respectful.
The Chao family's Sanjun and his wife suddenly felt that the pressure had dropped drastically, and they were happy to be the shopkeepers. Moreover, they did not even have to worry about the tea. There were young people in charge, and they took their 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 delivered by each family. Young Master Hua and Young Master Zhou were at the villa with their guards. There are several young people waiting at the gate to welcome guests. They don't need to say anything, just bend down for the coming guests.
Everyone 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 and stopped at the entrance of Chao Eryuan.
The person who came was Zhou Liu, the current head of the Zhou family. He was Young Master Zhou's father. He was wearing a blue Tang suit. He looked to be in his sixties. His face was similar to Young Master Zhou. He was very ordinary, but he always had an eye-catching aura.
One is Ji Yu, the head of the Ji family. He is a young foreign minister, 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 old as he was, but not as old as he knew his fate. He is wearing a gilt-breasted suit.
One is Si Chunfeng, the head of the Si family, 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 Zhi Ming and wears a sapphire blue Tang suit.
The five heads of the family restrained their momentum, and their eyes occasionally flashed with a dark light, which was deep and profound. Each of the five brought a middle-aged and elderly protector or an envoy sent by the previous head of the family. Each of their entourage carried red silk bags. A wrapped square gift with a greeting card. 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, and saw meaningful smiles on their young children.
The five heads of the family entered the hall and handed the name cards and congratulatory gifts to the young man in charge of receiving the gifts. They 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. He simply said, "They are helpers." The elders of our family, please let them sit by themselves without being too polite."
With the head of the Xuan family here, the five heads of the family were not polite and went to the seats first, first come, first served, and then they went to occupy a table.
The five people were still sitting on their butts, 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 Fang Ba, the young master of the Fang family, and Na, the head of the Nalan family outside the pass. Lanchang carries Lanqi, and every family brings congratulatory gifts wrapped in red silk.
The head of the Xuan family simply mentioned the name of the visitor to the head of the family and asked the family heads to sit down.
The head of the Chen family and others entered the courtyard, and then came another car. Huo Ming, the elder of the Huo family in Xiangcheng, and Huo Shishao were accompanied by a guard; Helian Qingyang, the young head of the Helian family outside the pass, was accompanied by a guard; from J West Province Mo Xiaoren, the head of the Mo family, came with people to congratulate him;
The people who came one after another entered the villa building of Mr. Chao's house one after another, followed by several cars. Two or three people got out of each car and floated into the yard carrying congratulations.
When a group of people arrived, Hua Shao and others were slightly startled. Some of them did not recognize anyone. Among the visitors was Duan Hong, the head of the Cang sect and the head of the Duan family in Lishi;
There is also a woman with fair hair and a childlike face, her hair is combed into a fairy bun, and she wears a narrow-sleeved retro dress. Her face is like the bright moon in the sky, her color is like the flowers of spring dawn, she is as light as jade, and she is as beautiful as an immortal. There is a man who is about thirty years old next to her. young woman.
Another person who particularly stood out was a white-haired old Taoist in a blue robe, with sleeves like clouds. He was holding an immortal Taoist bone. He was accompanied by a little Taoist holding a Buddha dust in his hand. The congratulations were wrapped in red silk.
Because he didn't know each other, Mr. Zhou welcomed the 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 greeted the head of the Duan family and the head of the Dian Cang family, Jin Suanzi, and then saw the white-haired The old woman 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 great fortune."
When the leader 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 Lord is generally more than two decades old before he is qualified to be called an Immortal Lord, or he has reached the Nianxia level, which is the level of cultivation. People at the Nascent Soul level can also be called Immortal Lords.
Penglai Immortal Island has been untouched for more than a hundred years, but the appearance of an immortal doctor and hairpin ceremony is enough to shock the hidden sect.
"Are you a descendant of Xuan Wushang?" 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 as graceful and beautiful as a girl: "You are six points like Xuan Wushang, but that kid over there is. Very much like Ayan.”
"This junior is the descendant of the Xuan family. The child mentioned by the Immortal Master is the nephew of this junior." The head of the Xuan family raised his eyes to look at his nephew and called hurriedly: "Chen Bei, come and see your great-aunt. Boys, how are you?" Come here to pay homage to Immortal Lord Penglai.”
When Young Master Xuan heard his uncle talk about his great-aunt, he knew who the beautiful fairy-like woman was. She was the sister of his great-grandmother, who was 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 kowtows to say hello to my great-aunt."
"Good boy, get up. Today is the little girl's hair extension ceremony, so we can't waste time here." Immortal Master Penglai stretched out his hand to help his great-nephew and grandson, and untied the bead chain from his wrist and gave it to him. When the child meets you: "I never expected to see you today, and I didn't prepare a gift. This bead is made from 2,000-year-old sandalwood from Penglai Island. It will be of some benefit to you, so don't be too disrespectful of the gift."
"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 in his hands, and put it on his wrist.
Upon hearing Master Xuan's summons, Young Master Jiang Shaohua and others gathered together in a group. When the seniors and Young Master Xuan finished speaking, they all bowed down with their heads lower than their knees to say hello to Immortal Master Penglai.
The young woman supporting the Immortal Master waved her hands gently, lifted up the young people, handed the congratulatory gifts to the Master of the Xuan Family, and helped the Immortal Master to walk to the seat.
Immortal Lord Penglai smiled at the host: "Old madam, let's leave this place to the children. We might as well go and have a seat."
Old Mrs. Chao was stunned for a moment, then realized in an instant: "I don't dare to refuse the distinguished guest's invitation, for fear that we common people will taint the distinguished guest's discernment."
"It's an honor for me that I don't think my old lady is taking the spotlight." Immortal Master Penglai has bright eyes like the moon, which can reflect people's hearts.
Mrs. Chao and her husband accompanied Immortal Penglai to the table. All the heads of the family present bowed to Immortal Penglai and waited until she sat down before returning to their seats.
Hua Shao and others saw Immortal Master Penglai and quickly took their places.
The arrival of Penglai Immortal Master also made each family dare not be careless and speak more softly.
The head of the Xuan family saw the old couple of the Chao family accompanying the master of Penglai Island. He was sitting in charge of the master. He turned his eyes and saw the blue-robed Taoist priest with an immortal style entering the hall. He stood up and said Qian'er again: "I have met the master Qian. I am lucky. It is truly a blessing to be able to admire the true appearance of Qian Senior.”
Qian Sect Leader, Qian Wubing, the contemporary sect leader of the Lotus Authentic Sect.
Lianhua Zhengzong is also the oldest sect. Its status is second only to Kunlun Zhengzong and Penglai Xiandao, and has a longer history than Shaolin Emei Wudang.
Because it is too low-key, people have always only heard of the prestigious name of Shaolin Emei Wudang, but not the authentic name of Lotus.
"When I was traveling around, I was chatting with my junior brother. I learned that my junior brother's disciples had a close friendship with the Xuan family, the Jiang family, and other young men, and Fairy Le. It happened that the little fairy and the hairpin happened to be the same, and I also came to watch the ceremony, which disturbed the master's family. ”
The Qian Sect Master's Taoist robe fluttered and landed in front of the Xuanyuan family master. His clothes moved and his hair remained motionless. He was carrying an immortal aura, as leisurely as the clouds in the sky.
"The Chao family is overjoyed by the presence of Qian Sect Master. Seniors, please go in and invite -" The Xuan Family Master made the invitation. The heads of Penglai Island and Lotus Zheng Sect were both present in person. This shows how much the Hidden World Sect is looking forward to the return of the Immortal Doctor Sect. and attention.
Sect Leader Qian 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 led the little Taoist boy to the seats, and went directly to Penglai where he was sitting at the same table with the old man and the old lady of the Chao family. The Immortal Lord took his seat at the table.
Fairies, happy Valentine’s Day!
