The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Shi Yang was amused by her frustrated look, thinking that his beloved sister's verbal skills were still as powerful as ever.

He even wanted to ask if Shen Mingxing learned her sharp tongue from her.

"Why did the Huo family specifically ask you to come forward and prepare the program list for the banquet?"

Shi Rong put down the teacup in his hand and smiled indifferently.

"Of course, it's to see what real talents and knowledge I, the daughter of the Ying family, have."

Shi Yang understood what was going on, so he picked up a dish and ate it, then gave Shi Rong a bite.

"What real knowledge do you need? If a man isn't interested in you when you sit here, then he definitely has a problem with his sexual orientation."

Shi Rong paused while chewing and secretly nudged him with her elbow.

"You'd better say less. I want to live a few more days."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang nearly spit out the salad in his mouth from laughing. He knew exactly what Shi Rong meant by this. She was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would hear it and cause her to have some hatred.

"Oh, my dear sister, if I looked like you, I would want to walk sideways when I go out. Besides, do you think that given the current situation, anyone would dare to touch you? Are you going to die?"

Shi Rong was completely speechless.

"Tokiyo, if you are confident enough to win a prize, you must be number one in the world."

"puff…"

After hearing this, not only Shi Yang wanted to laugh, but the man opposite who had not missed any of their conversations also curled up his lips.

20 minutes later, the show started.

Accompanied by the sound of traditional opera prelude with gongs and drums, the second prelude of the Huo family banquet officially began.

According to the order of the relatives.

The first scene is a classic martial arts scene, the Battle of Jinshan.

"Whose master's disciples are these performers? Why do they look so familiar?"

Shi Rong followed Shi Yang's gaze and glanced towards the center of the venue.

"Sixth Uncle's people."

Shi Yang: "Not bad~ This singing style and martial arts posture have a bit of the style of the Ying family."

Shi Rong nodded.

"Of course, Sixth Uncle is Grandpa's confidant."

Shi Yang: "Compared to Mingxing and the other two, they're not quite as good. And compared to you, they're not as good again. Anyway, your singing is still better."

Shi Rong rolled his eyes at him. Why was this guy so picky?

"How about you go up and act?"

hiss~

Shi Yang glared.

"I have a bass voice, and you want me to perform? You'll ruin it all."

Shi Rong sneered.

"Then you still choose?"

Shi Yang pouted in dissatisfaction, that's just how it is.

"The Ying family of Dongcheng truly possesses profound accomplishments in the inheritance of opera culture, their reputation is well-deserved! Look at their solid foundational skills. I haven't heard such authentic opera singing in a long time."

Ning Xi, the third wife of the Huo family, has always had a special liking for Chinese opera, and everyone in the Huo family knows it.

Almost every week, she would go to the most famous local theater in North City to watch a play, rain or shine.

Even when he first met his third wife Huo Anju, it was at the theater. Later, they got married and gave birth to Huo Yigen, the eldest son who was handsome and talented.

The play staged by the Ying family of Dongcheng not only made corresponding improvements to the original tone and martial arts postures, but also made the overall look more vivid and exciting.

Even the costumes worn by the actors were sparkling and dazzling, with gorgeous crowns and beautiful clothes. Ning Xi couldn't help but praise them.

Feng Qingning, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded at her with a friendly face when she heard this.

"If the Third Madam likes it, that's a blessing for this play."

Ning Xi smiled happily.

Speaking of which, she, the fourth wife Yang Manxia, ​​and the sixth wife Wen Yan are all straightforward and talkative people in the Huo family.

Compared with the first wife Mei Wei, the second wife Gu Xueqiao, and the fifth wife Liu Jingjing, she seems more lively and active.

Seeing that Shi Rong didn't drink or eat much except for occasionally whispering a few words to Shi Yang beside him, but just sipped tea quietly, Feng Qingning smiled.

"Today's dish is from the Huo family. Did Rong'er have someone prepare this wine? If I remember correctly, this should be Rong'er's treasured collection in Yinglong Hall, called Xiangsi."

When he heard someone calling him, Shi Rong turned around and lowered his head.

"Yes, grandma has good eyesight."

Feng Qingning laughed again.

"Why is it named Xiangsi?"

Shi Rong paused.

"'Suddenly an old friend crosses my mind, and looking back at the mountains and rivers, it's already winter. If we could be drenched in the snow together one day, we'd grow old together in this life.' The ancients used longing to express their feelings, and in modern times, longing is used to express parting. This wine is signed with longing, and I only hope that there will be no more unpleasant feelings in this world."

Oh~

What literary talent!

Chu Yu and the other two looked at each other. They couldn't remember how many times they were stunned by Shi Rong's performance tonight.

"Great words, great poems, great works. The young master of the Ying family is truly amazing!"

Huo Zhengtong has always admired women with witty remarks, especially Shi Rong, who was very eloquent. When she first entered the Huo family four years ago, she impressed him. Now, when he looks at her again, he feels that she has improved day by day.

He picked up the ancient porcelain wine bowl from the Ying family and toasted Shi Rong with it.

Seeing this, the latter immediately took the wine bowl that Shi Yang had poured for her, held it with both hands, and nodded in greeting.

"Director Huo, you're too kind."

After he finished speaking, Shi Rong picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

It has been 5 years, and this is the first time that Huo Jiuzhou and others have seen Shi Rong drinking.

What to say?

The posture is elegant and natural, and the behavior is perfected through practice. This Haikou bowl is neither big nor small, but the amount of one bowl is equivalent to five or six times that of an ordinary white wine cup.

She drank the whole bottle in one gulp without blushing, without panting, and without her eyes wavering or flickering. So her alcohol tolerance is definitely better than most people.

It seemed as if no one had ever said that Shi Rong couldn't drink from the beginning, but everyone just agreed that she didn't look like someone who could drink.

Little did she know that not drinking and not knowing were two different things, just like her true identity, not saying and not looking like were two different things.

The fighting scene is over.

Seeing Shen Mingxing and the other two changed into ancient-style gauze dresses and long skirts, they walked forward with their respective ancient musical instruments, and Miao Man followed them.

She is one of Shi Rong's close subordinates.

The four of them sat down on the circular platform in the center of the place, in a staggered manner, in the shape of a diamond square. Feng Qingning couldn't help but be surprised.

"Wow~ Even my Ying family's main member, my three precious granddaughters, are performing on stage tonight? How rare."

Xia Zhi, who was at the front of the group, put down her own jade zither, looked up and smiled sweetly at her.

"Yes, grandma, this was arranged by the young master."

Feng Qingning turned her gaze to Shi Rong, who was in the deputy position, as she was told, feeling puzzled.

"Oh? How could Yan'er be so willing to let these three loyal sisters of yours appear? Didn't you always protect them tightly wherever you went? As if you were afraid someone would snatch them away."

Shi Rong curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.

"Grandmother, I feel that now that they have graduated, this is a rare opportunity. Why not let them showcase their talents in front of others? This will make their training worthwhile and preserve the family's reputation. Speaking of which, the three prominent families of Shen, Xia, and Ji just made their mark in North City tonight."
