summer thunderstorm

Unknowingly, a few days of free time passed, and the day of the Fang family's banquet arrived. On this day, Xia Qiuyu took everyone to the Fang family for a banquet, and the Fang family's today was particularly lively.

As soon as I arrived at Fang's house, I heard the person welcoming the guests at the door shouting the title of the visitor: "The head of the XX Escort Bureau is here!"

"Congratulations, Young Master Fang!"

"Thank you, please come inside."

Fang Shiwen, the young master of the Fang family who was also welcoming guests at the door, was tall and handsome. Even if he was wearing a dress with a black background and red borders, he could not stop the young man from being unrestrained and handsome. Courteous, bold and generous when receiving guests from heroes and heroes, this kind of person who advances and retreats makes everyone admire him, and secretly envies that the Patriarch of the Fang family has a good son.

"Young masters, please show your invitation card." As soon as Xia Qiuyu and the others approached, a young man came to greet him, with a respectful and polite attitude, neither humble nor overbearing.

Xia Qiuyu took the invitation card that Michelle Ye called Lingge to send and handed it over. She glanced at it, apparently a little surprised, but quickly calmed down, and asked, "May I ask everyone's names, so that we can sing along later."

Xia Qiuyu thought for a while, but still gave her name: "Xia Qiuyu."

The boy got the name and he just saluted, and ran to the librettist to whisper, the man also seemed surprised when he heard it, and motioned the boy to tell the young master, while he himself sang after Xia Qiuyu and others approached. : "Tianying taught Xia Qiuyu, Mr. Xia is here!"

Fang Shiwen was also taken aback for a moment, then he cupped his hands to Xia Qiuyu and the others and said: "Shiwen down below, I never thought that Mr. Xia would come, so I am far away to welcome you, please come inside!"

Xia Qiuyu returned the salute, and said in a pleasant way: "It's Xia who is being rude, and Young Master Fang is too polite."

At this time, everyone came to their senses, looked over curiously, and whispered, and a middle-aged man in a uniform came out of the room, and many people around him greeted him, and he also cupped his hands and smiled, walking towards Xia Qiuyu, Before approaching, he shouted: "Master Xia, Fang Qun, the head of the family below, is far away!"

Xia Qiuyu hurriedly gave him the gift of a junior, and respectfully said: "Senior Fang is polite."

Fang Qun saw Xia Qiuyu's ceremony as a junior, and felt very honorable. He laughed and welcomed Xia Qiuyu and his party in happily, leaving everyone to discuss in low voices. Even the young servant said to the librettist : "I didn't expect people from the Sky Eagle Sect to really come, our Fang family's face is really great!"

"That's right, the Skyhawk Sect seldom participates in this kind of banquet!"

Most of the people whispered to guess what purpose the Skyhawk Sect had for coming this time, but they also envied that the Fang family could invite the Skyhawk Sect.

Speaking of the Sky Eagle Sect, the only sect in this Jianghu, neither righteous nor evil, does not stick to things. The leaders of the past generations are people who do whatever they want. There are not many members in the sect, but all of them are masters. Such words are not enough to make people pay attention to him. The most important thing is that the Tianying Cult is located at the junction of Beichen, Donghuang, and Wilderness——Tianying Town. With this stationed there, the invasion of the Wilderness has never been invaded from there, and it is also exempted. Beichen and Donghuang's worries for the future, as time passed, this Tianying Town was fully under the jurisdiction of the Tianying Sect, responsible for blocking the barbarian clan.In the past, the wilderness organized a large-scale attack. The Sky Eagle Sect asked for help from the seven great families, and the seven great families sent experts to help them to protect the common people.This kind of history obviously made the Seven Great Families gradually become friends with the Skyhawk Sect. However, the Skyhawk Sect is located in a remote place and rarely participates in these secular worlds. It is somewhat similar to the hermit Helian's family.

Coming-of-age ceremonies are very important in any country, especially the coming-of-age ceremony for the eldest son. Compared with birthday banquets or wedding banquets, it is obviously more formal. When everyone arrives in the east room, there is neither orchestral music nor high-spirited people. The guests behaved politely and stood aside waiting for the ceremony to start. The objects needed for the ceremony were placed in front of the east room, and the whole east room looked extremely solemn.

Xia Qiuyu knew that many people were paying attention to them, but this place was obviously not a good place to chat with each other. Fortunately, the guests were getting full, and Fang Shiwen had already returned. Looking at the time, Fang Shiwen and his family were all wearing formal dresses, standing in their respective positions, People on the side shouted "The time is right!"

Fang Shiwen knelt in front of the hall, his father Fang Qun crowned him as the official guest, his younger sister Fang Miaoshu held it as a tribute, and his younger brother Fang Yuanran held it himself as a minister. First he added a cloth crown, then he was awarded a leather hat, and finally he was awarded a noble hat , every time the crown is crowned, the guest of honor will read the congratulatory speech to the crown recipient.

Shijia (crown) congratulates: "On the auspicious day of Lingyue, Shijiayuan clothes, abandon your young characters, and follow Er Chengde."Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. Jiagai said: "Jiyuelingchen is Shen Erfu, respecting Er Weiyi, and Shushende."My eyebrows live ten thousand years and will be blessed by Hu Fu forever. Sanjia said: "Use the year to rule, and use the month to rule."Hamgar clothes.Brothers exist, to become Jude, yellow and old have no boundaries, and are celebrated by heaven. '(From "Yi Li. Shi Guan Li", the ancient coming-of-age ceremony also said to take "characters", but it is too troublesome to choose characters, so Xiaoyu saved everyone's "characters".)

It took a lot of time to go through a series of procedures, and the coming-of-age ceremony was finally over amidst the congratulatory messages from everyone. Fang Qun invited everyone to move into the hall and set up a banquet. After being put on the table, bottles of good wine were poured into the cups. Compared with the atmosphere just now, the current banquet is obviously a different scene, and everyone is no longer so restrained, toasting and drinking with everyone. , laughing Yan Yan, so lively.

The status of Xia Qiuyu and his party was not low, but they were young, so they were arranged among the young children of the aristocratic family. The young man and the young woman obviously aroused many people's curiosity.

"I'm Ouyang Fengmao, can I invite some brothers to have a drink?" The luxurious young man in purple brocade clothes raised his glass to the people on the table with his strangely pleasant voice.

All the people at the table looked at him, but they didn't respond. They probably knew who they were, but they rarely interacted with each other, and they didn't know who was going to answer. After waiting for a while, the young man didn't get angry at all. Instead, he smiled at Yanyan, raised his glass to Xia Qiuyu beside him and said, "Master Xia, can I have a drink?"

Xia Qiuyu smiled lightly, raised his glass as a signal, and drank the wine in the small wine glass. The Fang family arranged it very thoughtfully. He clearly smelled the smell of high-quality spirits, but drank the light and mellow fruit wine on his own table. Apparently, it was because of his young age that he cared about the table, but he was already in his twenties, drinking fruit wine with the young man with short hair, it was a bit dumbfounding.

"Hey!" Ouyang Fengmao was eager to thank him in the future, but another girl at the same table blamed him: "Why don't you drink it with me? Only brothers at the same table?"

The girl's palm-sized face, skin that can be broken by blowing blows, delicate and small facial features, and her pouty mouth show her displeasure, but the decoration on her head shows that she is not yet ready.

Hearing this, Ouyang Fengmao quickly toasted: "Miss Nian Bing, it's Ouyang's fault, please forgive the little one!" Although the words were apologetic, they were giggling.

Shen Nianbing is young but has a good temper. He raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it after humming. It was a heroic gesture, but it made her do it very cutely.

"Heh~ Bing'er is fussy, please forgive me." As the only grown-up gentleman present here, he patted Shen Nianbing's head lovingly, and even added fruit wine for her, obviously loving him very much.

Xia Qiuyu had a good impression of this gentleman, who was also an adult, and replied: "Young master, you are polite. It is raining Xia Qiuyu, and I would like to offer you a cup."

Junqing smiled back, raised his glass and said, "My lord, please, Mr. Xia."

On the other side, Ouyang Fengmao had already caught up with Luo Jinglei and the others, and insisted on having two drinks with them. Luo Jinglei had no choice but toasted and drank a few cups. In this way, the people at the table began to introduce themselves to each other, and the children of the family naturally Don't forget to make friends, Xia Qiuyu, as a member of Tianying Cult, is obviously very interesting, and Xia Qiuyu told Luo Jinglei to seize the opportunity, but he and Jun Qing were very close, drinking a cup without a cup .

"Master Xia is very interested in those two people?" Jun Qing asked after watching Xia Qiuyu look at a man and a woman who were standing and talking not far away for a long time.

The man and the woman looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that they were clearly the two who were chasing outside the Zuixian Tower that day, but the man was already dressed in fancy clothes, a light beige round-neck gown with freehand patterns. , wearing a white gauze skirt with a round neck and wide sleeves on the outside, what a freehand boy, there is no trace of the embarrassment of that day, and the woman does not have the boldness of the short dress and sword holding that day, she is wearing a goose yellow light and elegant skirt. Wearing a white gauze dress, revealing a graceful neck, the pleats of the skirt are as snowy as the moon, and she can be used anywhere, such a young and charming woman.

"Somewhat curious." Xia Qiuyu said.

Junqing gestured to the man with a wine glass, and said: "That's from the Eastern Emperor's royal family." She then pointed to the woman and said, "That woman is Fang Miaoshu, the second young lady of the Fang family. There are countless people who come to hire you." Women are different from men, men get married after twenty crowns, but women can marry when they are fifteen years old.

Xia Qiuyu nodded, considering the prestige of the Fang family, Fang Miaoshu is such a beauty, she must have attracted the hearts of countless men, looked at the man and woman again, and said casually: "They are quite a match."

After hearing the words, Jun Qing thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile, "Indeed."

The two met each other, smiled and drank together.

While dealing with Ouyang Fengmao's occasional questions, Luo Jinglei also paid attention to everyone's movements. He saw Ouyang Fengmao most curiously, this young man who seemed to be particularly interested in him.
