Mom, I was wrong

Mo Youyou knocked on the door gently and spoke from outside.

"Ange, my brother called. The banquet will start at 12 o'clock sharp. Let's go to the front hall to get ready."

Ange and Yingzi opened the door, picked up the important things, and followed Mo Youyou to the preparation room in the front hall.

Ange, Yingzi and William felt a headache when they saw so many people.

"There are so many people here. Grandpa Mo really has mobilized a large number of people. He must have invited all the noble families in Kyoto to come here."

William asked, looking at the colorful clothes and various jewelry below, this is simply a fashion show.

Mo Youyou looked at the exaggerated and flamboyant makeup and clothes of the people below, and silently scolded her ancestors in her heart, "You are making it so mysterious. Look at this scene now. It is simply out of control. Don't you feel dizzy?"

Mr. Mo felt like regretting something. [I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. It's beyond my control. This big rooster and little peacock, oh, you have to bear the consequences of your own actions.]

"It's not just the business community, there are people from the political world too. Isn't that Grandpa Dongfang? There's also the Shiramori Kyoto City Public Security Bureau chief, the one from the Education Bureau, the one from the Administrative Office, and the one from the Justice Bureau..."

"What is this old man going to do?"

Just as people were greeting each other, Mo Jiashun walked onto the stage.

"Hello, everyone! On this special day, we are extremely excited to warmly welcome all the distinguished guests to the Mo family banquet! Today, elites from all walks of life, relatives and friends have gathered here to witness this unforgettable moment together. I am deeply honored to be able to gather here with you. Here, please allow me to express my most sincere welcome and heartfelt thanks to every guest present on behalf of the Mo family! I hope everyone can enjoy this feast and spend a good time together!"

Mo Jiashun made a smooth opening speech and announced the official start of the banquet.

A long-term partner of the Mo family asked, "Boss Mo, I have been calling you since I received the invitation to ask you what's going on, but you just won't tell me. Now that the banquet has started, can you tell me now?"

"That's right. You said that your Mohist sect hasn't held any banquets for more than ten or twenty years. I'm afraid this is a Hongmen Banquet. I've been watching the Mohist sect's stocks every day. I'm exhausted these days."

Another partner said jokingly.

"Yes, yes. We have been asking around and trying to figure it out these past few days, but no one knows. So let's not keep it a secret now."

These familiar partners bombarded Mo Jiashun with criticism, making him laugh and cry, "How can you be so old, but act like a child who can't get candy? You're even throwing a tantrum. If you ask me now, I will definitely tell you. If you asked me before, I couldn't tell you because my ancestors wouldn't let me."

People in the audience were talking a lot.

[Isn't the ancestor of the Mohist School in the mountains? Why is he here at this banquet too? ]

[The ancestors of the Mohist School have all gone down the mountain. Is there something big going on with the Mohist School?]

[You guys didn't even read the invitation? This is a banquet that the ancestors of the Mohist School are going to host.]

[Should we find wives for these two Mr. Mo? ]

[These two are already so old, even if they were looking for a wife, they wouldn't make such a big fuss, it should be those four young Mo Zongs or Mo Youyou. ]

The two brothers Mo Jiashun on the stage were ashamed when they heard this, [Do we have to be secretive when looking for a wife now? ]

[Okay, stop keeping them in suspense and just tell me.]

Mo Jiashun took the microphone and said, "Ahem, everyone, be quiet. I heard what everyone was discussing just now. We in the Mo family have not held a banquet in the past 20 years. This banquet was indeed proposed by my grandfather.

But the purpose of the banquet is not blind dating or engagement. Of course, if there is a perfect couple who meet through our banquet and finally get married, we will also send our sincere blessings.

This banquet is a banquet for my ancestor to recruit disciples."

[Accepting disciples? This old man has been in the mountains for so long. Why is he suddenly coming down the mountain to accept disciples? ]

[He definitely didn't come down the mountain suddenly. There were no two people on the mountain, so how could he catch a ghost? ]

[Who is this disciple? He deserves such a grand ceremony.]

[What kind of disciples does this Mr. Mo accept? Can someone explain it to me? I'm new here.]

[Me too, I want to listen to it too. ]

[I have also heard that this Mr. Mo was a well-known figure 70 or 80 years ago. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, and the art of divination, but he never accepted any apprentices.]

[That is indeed very impressive, but this was seventy or eighty years ago. Now, this old man is only about seventy or eighty years old.]

[This may be Mr. Mo's outstanding feature. ]

At this time, Mr. Mo walked out from behind the big screen and said to the people in the audience, "Jiashun is right. Today's banquet is indeed my disciple-recruiting banquet. I will recruit two last disciples."

As he spoke, Mr. Mo stretched out two fingers and gestured.

At this time, a white-haired old man said, "Brother Mo, you are a bit unkind. Thirty years ago, I asked you to accept my grandson as your apprentice, but you refused to do so. You said you would not accept a closed disciple, so why do you change your mind now?"

Mr. Mo looked at the white-haired old man in the audience and said, "You are Old Cai. I haven't seen you for so many years. Do you still remember this? I was not young at that time. I didn't have enough strength in my hands, and the door was not closed tightly. So, didn't these two disciples push it open?"

"Humph, you just think I talk more than you do. If you're afraid that I'll take my grandson, I'll come to you every day and talk to you."

Grandpa Mo looked at the stubborn old man and said, "Brother Cai, just tell me whether the fortune I told you before was accurate or not. If your grandson follows me and does what I say, you will have nowhere to cry now."

Mr. Cai was silent for a moment.

"Brother Cai, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You should learn to let go."

Then he continued to say to the guests, "I went down the mountain some time ago and met two children who are very talented, so I decided to take them in as my apprentices.

Come, come, both of you, come here, come to Master.

There is no need for that complicated apprenticeship ceremony, just a cup of tea will do."

Su Yiqing and Ange walked out from beside the screen.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Su Yiqing and Ange, who walked lightly with a faint smile on their faces. After walking to Mr. Mo's side, the two knelt down together and respectfully offered him a cup of tea.

"Master, please have tea."

Mr. Mo took the teacup, nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of kindness.

"Okay, get up. Today I'm going to introduce you to everyone to avoid misunderstandings when you don't recognize each other in the future." Mr. Mo took the tea in his hand and drank the two cups of tea in one gulp.
