About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

"Can I choose the location?" Yang Yuyao's eyes glanced at the place farthest from the main seat. There was a location there. Looking from Yang Yuyao's position, due to the structural requirements of the boat, there was a pillar that partially blocked that location. .

"It is true that you can choose, but there is not such a large range where you can choose any seat at will." Yang Ningxiu guessed Yang Yuyao's little thought and smiled helplessly, "Where is our seat," he pointed out. There were plenty of empty seats there for all of them to sit in. Yang Yuyao looked at the cushions of different colors on the ground, and with reference to the places where the people who had been introduced by Yang Ningxiu had sat, he could see the clues about the rules for dividing this seating area.

Looking to the other side from the main seat belonging to the emperor, the area closest to the dragon chair and with cushions of the same color underneath is where officials from the first to the third rank are located, and the second area is for the fourth rank. From the sixth level to the sixth level, the third area is from the seventh level to the ninth level. The positions that can be chosen are for officials to choose any position in the corresponding area according to their own rank. His children sat in the same area with this person. Yang Ningxiu is the general who governs the country. There is no doubt that Yang Yuyao's position can only be chosen in the first area.

But even within this area, the available locations are determined by the locations chosen by the elders. This arrangement seems to be to allow these officials to choose people with whom they have a good relationship to sit closer to each other. However, due to space limitations in the boat, the seating arrangement can be seen as being roughly arranged into two rows.

There are several round tables in each row and in each area, so that officials can sit around the table. However, no matter which table you sit at, your seat must not face the emperor. This means that each table must leave an empty space where no one can sit. Therefore, no more than seven people can sit at one table. And this also means that if there are more than six people in a family, several people will have to share the table with others. Yang Yuyao glanced at other areas. Several tables were occupied by officials, leaving their children to share their own tables.

Fortunately, the Yang family did not intend to let these young people sit with others. Yang Ningxiu, Yang Yuyao, Yang Xueqing, Tao Yi, Yang Li, and the three of them just made up a table. Yang Weicheng and the three of them walked towards another empty table without hesitation. Yang Yuyao raised his head and glanced at the position belonging to the emperor. Tao Zhengxi hadn't arrived yet. The golden chair was raised alone by the table, completely different from the bustle of the other tables. The emperor had to maintain his majesty and make his imperial power unshakable, but he also lost a lot of fun.

"Mr. Yang, why don't you let your child sit with other children? Let them young people stay together?" An official with a straight face and a goatee came over to say hello and asked curiously.

"My children are still relatively young, and the eldest one has just returned home and is not familiar with these yet, so I won't let them sit with other people for now. If they get together, it will be bad." Yang Ningxiu stood up to block Yang Yu. Yao said, "Today is a banquet that Your Majesty attaches great importance to. Of course it must go smoothly, right?"

"Why do young people need to be so timid? You will get familiar with it after a while." The official surnamed Zhao advised.

"No, no, no need to rush this moment." Yang Ningxiu flatly refused.

The official named Zhao left, and another tall and thin official came and asked where Yang Yuyao had been over the years. Yang Ningxiu's face turned slightly dark. He knew that the official was not just out of curiosity when he raised this. This person might think that Yang Yuyao, the eldest young master of the Yang family, has been missing for so many years and is so beautiful, so he might have some shady experience. If they were inconvenient to answer, that would suit his wishes.

"I am practicing in the sect with my master." Yang Yuyao said, with no emotion on his cold face. He knew that even if he didn't speak, Yang Ningxiu would have a way to deal with it, but he still spoke up before Yang Ningxiu spoke. When the other party inquired with obvious malice, he had to pretend to have no temper. Pretending to be mute would only confirm the other party's suspicion that he was used to being bullied and did not dare to resist. Therefore, even if it is not polite for him to take advantage of his elders, he still has to do it. His own words were far more effective than Yang Ningxiu's explanation for him.

"I see, Mr. Yang has gone to the sect. I wonder what his current level of cultivation is like..." the official asked with a smile. He belatedly sensed Yang Yuyao's realm, and then took a step back in fright. "Jin...Jindan stage?! He has not reached the golden elixir stage yet?!" He exclaimed in shock. In an instant, the boat became quiet, and people looked at Yang Yuyao again. This handsome young man was so beautiful that people were completely attracted by his appearance, thus completely ignoring the perception of the youthful realm.

Just as some mortals think that beautiful people are not too smart, monks often have the subconscious feeling that particularly beautiful people are not too high-level. Even though there are four great fairies with both talents and beauty in the world of immortality, whether it is the monks in the world of immortality or the monks in the Xia Kingdom who are independent from the world of immortality, they still feel that a monk can only be raised if he has a look of pampering. If he has a good skin, then he must not have practiced well. There is no doubt that this is a kind of prejudice, but there are always people who always look down on others.

Even after seeing the overly beautiful young man Yang Yuyao, some people here will wonder whether this young man who has been missing for many years was kidnapped and used as someone's pet or a furnace. Not long ago, Rescued by the Yang family. The Yang family even took the initiative to send the young man to the bed of a certain great person, letting the young man use his body to please him, and only took him back after the goal was achieved.

Even though the Yang family has always been famous for their upright conduct, people who can't stand them still inevitably make malicious speculations about them and use their dark hearts to imagine the method of the Yang family's success. They couldn't do it, so they didn't believe how the Yang family could legitimately gain the favor of successive emperors, how it could develop into a great family with great wealth and power. Even if the Yang family did not take the initiative to send their eldest son to do shameful things, the Yang family's failure to protect their eldest son would be enough to become a stain on their ridicule.

Therefore, Yang Yuyao did not say that he went to the Qingfeng Sect after being rescued by He Qianqing. Although this matter may be known to these people one day in the future, at least for now, he deliberately made these people think that he took the initiative to go to the sect to practice. . Is it unreasonable to choose to go to a sect to practice despite being a member of a noble family? Cultivation can prove that this is the right choice.

Similarly, the realm of Jindan is like a slap in the face to those who have vicious imaginations about Yang Yuyao's past experiences. According to the thinking of a normal monk, being able to form an elixir at the first moment is definitely a genius among geniuses, and one must practice hard day and night to achieve such an achievement. If this young man has served others with his life, no matter what role he plays, it is impossible for him to practice to such an extent.

Yang Ningxiu showed a proud smile after being surprised for a short time, and almost said braggingly that I am a tiger father without a dog son. At the same time, Yang Xueqing, Yang Li, Tao Yi and Yang Weicheng, Yang Weichi and Yang Weidao who were sitting at another table At the same time, he cast an intimidating look at the tall and thin official, warning him that if he dared to make things difficult for Yang Yuyao again, they would not be polite. Although Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei felt uncomfortable, they were still out of the situation. This deterrence was enough. The tall and lanky official who couldn't find fault could only leave in disbelief.

"The Emperor has arrived!" With a shout, the conversation stopped abruptly. All the people sitting stood up and turned towards the door to salute. If they were monks, they would hold their fists together, and if they were ordinary officials, they would bow their hands. The maids and guards knelt down one after another to welcome Tao Zhengxi's arrival.

Tao Zhengxi walked towards his seat along the aisle left in the middle, followed by a group of palace maids and father-in-law, as well as the prince Tao Yeshuo, but when he walked to the area from the first to the third level divided by the blanket, Tao Yeshuo Instead of moving forward, he looked towards Yang Yuyao and found that the table was full. He found another table with empty seats and walked to this table.

"My dear friends, please take your seats." Tao Zhengxi said after sitting down on the dragon chair, and those who were standing dared to sit down one after another. "I am very happy to see that my dear friends are prosperous. We, the Xia Kingdom, have many talented people. Jiji, there is someone who will succeed you! We are hosting a banquet today to reward you all for your hard work and for the prosperity of future generations. Serve!"

"So, does this banquet serve the purpose of making it easier for the courtiers' children to get to know each other and discuss marriage?" After Tao Zhengxi finished speaking, Yang Yuyao quietly sent a message to ask Yang Ningxiu.

"Yes, there is indeed such a purpose." Yang Ningxiu responded with some surprise. His eldest son was much sharper than him. When he attended the banquet as a young man, he didn't think about it at all until he grew older. , he finally understood the hidden purpose of this banquet.

It is a common practice for officials to marry other officials in order to stabilize their status or to climb up the ranks, and to find allies. Tao Zhengxi simply chose to bring this matter to light and let the heirs of these people meet in front of him, showing that he was not opposed to this approach, but don't think about making small moves behind the scenes. At that time, Yang Ningxiu was still a young boy who was devoted to martial arts training. How could he think so much?

Including Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei now, they only regard this banquet as a banquet where they can eat delicious food and meet some new friends, and they don't think about this. Of course, they, the elders, did not deliberately ask their children to take the initiative to contact anyone for the sake of the family. As long as they can be careful about who they are wary of and be careful about their approach with ulterior motives, that's all.

"But Xiaoyao, you don't have to think so much, just think of it as just coming here to have fun. Although this banquet has this purpose, it is mainly for young people to get to know each other first and see if there is anyone who likes them. We still need to discuss it later. Dear, it can't be decided so quickly." Yang Ningxiu comforted. "Besides, not everyone comes here to find relatives. There are more people who want to get close and climb high branches."

"Okay," Yang Yuyao agreed, but did not completely let down his guard. Naturally, he didn't want any accidents to happen. But it’s always better to be on guard before something happens than to be caught off guard when something happens. Even if nothing happens, it’s not a loss.

During the short time that Yang Yuyao and Yang Ningxiu communicated via voice transmission, the dishes were already served. The first dish was a platter of braised duck tongue, sauced foie gras and white water shrimp. Yang Yuyao felt that the food in Xiadu was so exquisite that it was different from other places of the same era. Although they were attending a palace banquet now, when they ate at the restaurant before, the dishes were presented with extra care. In other places, at best, lumpy food is organized neatly. Basically, I don’t put much effort into the presentation. In the Xia capital, at least one radish block will be carved into flowers.

This cold dish is arranged in the shape of two carps. The thinly sliced ​​foie gras is arranged in an exquisite way to form the slightly bulging body of the fish. The shrimps broken in half serve as the scales of the fish. The duck The tongue forms a flexible fin. The portion of this dish is not big, basically everyone at the table can taste two slices of each dish. But this is enough. This is just an appetizer, the main course is yet to come!

Yang Yuyao picked up a piece of shrimp and tasted it. The shrimp boiled in white water did not have much other flavor, only the freshness and sweetness of the shrimp itself. The shrimp meat is refreshing and chewy, and saliva begins to secrete after chewing it for a few times, making me want to try food with a stronger taste. Braised duck tongue and foie gras sauce can just meet this demand. Just the right amount of salty and fresh, with the aroma of spices, crispy duck tongue cartilage, tender duck tongue meat, and soft foie gras, the rich taste collides in the mouth, and before you know it, your appetite has been whetted.

After finishing the cold dishes, fish, shrimps, crabs, shells and snails, and various river delicacies began to appear, vying for beauty. There are also ingredients such as water shield, water bamboo, lotus root, lotus seeds, and gorgon seeds. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, filling the emptiness of the stomach and intestines with excitement and satisfying the thirst of the taste buds. If we just look at the location of Xia Capital, some of these ingredients are not at their best yet, and some are out of season. However, the land of Xia Kingdom is so vast, and the high-quality ingredients from all over the world are enough to put together a gourmet feast. With the help of monks' magic, these ingredients can be processed in the most perfect state and served on the table.

"Brother, this is delicious. Come and try it too!" Yang Yuwei pointed at the crab-stuffed orange and said, but Yang Yuyao didn't see a response. She turned around and saw that people were looking at her even while eating. The baptized Yang Yuyao was frozen with chopsticks in his hands, as if hesitating about what to eat, but if you look closely at his expression, you can see that his soul seems to be no longer normal.

"Big, big brother!" Yang Yuwei called softly in fright, but as long as other people did not take their eyes away from him, Yang Yuyao always showed a look that seemed normal, but in fact he had been hanging for a while. appearance. It wasn't until the music started playing and a beautiful palace maid danced, attracting some people's attention, that Yang Yuyao's lost soul cautiously returned. When he started to move the chopsticks again, the beautiful hand holding the white jade chopsticks was still trembling slightly.

"How is Yao'er doing now? Is he feeling better?" Tao Zhengxi sent a message to ask Yang Ning Xiu Dao. Sitting on the dragon chair placed on the high platform, he could easily see the status of everyone at the banquet.

"It's better. Although my hands are still shaking a little, I can start eating." Yang Ningxiu responded via voice transmission.

"Hmph, many of these guys are old guys who have been practicing for hundreds of years. Even if my dear grandson is unmatched in beauty, he shouldn't be so rude." Tao Zhengxi showed a disdain for these in her heart. The subjects who had seen the world were extremely disgusted, and then he focused on the tall and thin official who ran to find Yang Yuyao and the others before he arrived. "Shan Yu? How dare you, a guy who thinks he's smart, underestimate my spy!"
