Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

This time, the banquet was held in the main hall of the villa. Guiyun Villa is located in the deep mountains, and is not known for its beauty. The owner of Xiahou Villa is withdrawn, and he especially loves strange trees and rocks. There is a trace of ghost.

The front row of the main hall is the owner of the owner's family. The long table on the left is reserved for the Su family's guests, headed by Yang Yunzhang, and behind them are the various managers from the Su family's dowry. The rest of the guests sit in the right row.A short table was placed in front of everyone, the tableware was laid out, and a sprig of flowers was placed, which was very elegant and appropriate.

When Wen Tao arrives, people will already be here in sevens and eighties, and those who can live in Zhuangzi today are all famous sects in the Jianghu, except Shaolin Master Mingxin, and the woman from Yizhou Yunshangfang Xifang whom I saw at the inn yesterday , Elder Luo of the Beggar Gang, and Pavilion Master Ye Shao of the Tianji Pavilion known for its ingenuity.At present, everyone reported to each other's houses and met each other. Before they sat down, the owner and his wife of Xiahou, the young master Xiahou and Xiahou Huan entered the door.

Master Xiahou is not tall, but he has gray hair, but he is refreshed, but he is not flattering, he looks like a mountain and a peak, with a pair of three white eyes, which makes him seem to be rolling his eyes no matter who he looks at, and he is particularly difficult to get close to. .Mrs. Xiahou has her eyebrows on her temples, her pair of red phoenix eyes are charming and natural, and the flowers are dotted with slanting red. She lives up to the reputation of Xifang Huakui back then. She nodded and smiled to the two sisters of Yunshangfang, and brought the owner to sit theme.The owner of the Xiahou Villa tried his best to put his black eyes back in place only when he was facing his wife, and his face softened.

The Hu girl Xiahou Huan on the side is still wearing a red dress and a red skirt, with a little makeup and powder, making her skin whiter than snow, which is hard to look at.Xiahou Baiying is too old and weak, with a long body and a tall body. Looking at it separately, there are similarities in facial features and Xiahou Baiguo, but together, one is a gentle and elegant young talent, and the other is a round and straightforward son.Wen Tao remembered the gossip of the boys, his eyes flicked between Xia Hou Baiying and Xia Hou Huan, and saw that the two were really talented and beautiful in appearance, but they seemed to be very polite to each other.Xiahou Baiying skillfully entertained all martial arts professionals, with thoughtful etiquette and comprehensive manners, with that spring-like smile always hanging on his face.

Since it was not a formal wedding banquet, everyone was not overly polite, and Xia Houhuan was already presiding over the cooking.Xiahou Baiying acted like a master, toasting the guests of the Su family and several major martial arts sects from time to time.It was the first time for Wen Tao to attend such a banquet. He was calm on the surface, but still a little nervous inside. Fortunately, Master Mingxin was beside him. At this moment, he carefully studied one of the crystal ducks, and saw that it was crystal clear. The umami taste of meat, and the smoothness of pork jelly.Master Mingxin said as he recollected: "It must be stewed with pig skin and duck meat, and then let it cool to get this delicious taste."

Wen Tao sniffed it and said: "It seems that there is a licorice added in it." He is very proficient in herbal medicine, and he knows it when he smells it.Master Mingxin was very appreciative, he was determined to eat delicious food all over the world, but often he only knew it was delicious, but he didn’t know why it was delicious. After many times, it was finally agreed that Xiahou Huan managed the family well and was proficient in cooking.

In the midst of toasting and drinking, I suddenly heard Mrs. Xiahou, who was sitting in the seat, say to the owner of Xiahou's estate in a casual manner: "Master, today all the martial arts sects are gathered together, but this banquet is so boring, and Huan'er didn't prepare any music and dance." Xiahou Madam came from Lefang, before marrying into Guiyun Villa, she had a lot of feasts every day, no wonder she complained.On the other hand, Xia Houhuan bit her lips. The villa is located in a remote place, so it was too difficult for her to invite a music troupe.

The owner of Xiahou Villa seemed to be very fond of Mrs. Xiahou, and hurriedly said: "What Madam said is true, but everyone is from the martial arts, so it's not like Madam knows how to dance and dance."

"What's so difficult about this? Since I'm a martial arts person, I have my own unique skills. Now that I'm enjoying myself after drinking, it's better to meet friends with a sword and learn from each other. It will also allow me, who has never seen the world, to see the style of different martial arts schools." Mrs. Xiahou With a bright smile, he looked around for a week, and suddenly saw Wen Tao, his eyes lit up and said, "That Taoist priest is Ziwei Immortal? Kunlun swordsmanship is famous far and wide, but few people have seen it. See you all?"

Wen Tao was suddenly named. Although Wen Tunan personally taught him swordsmanship and lightness kung fu, it was his first time out of the mountain and he didn't know the rules of martial arts. Do you have to be a performer for a banquet?While hesitating, everyone at the banquet had already shaken their heads secretly, thinking that it is true that women are ignorant of general principles, how can they easily show off the unique martial arts skills of various martial arts schools?Even if you want to learn from each other during the meeting, you can't let the guests do it without authorization, let alone Kunlun, who is rarely in the next mountain.

Suddenly, a person attended and said: "I heard that the Taoist priest is a guest, so why bother? Why don't you let me show my ugliness to entertain the guests."

When everyone saw that it was Xiahou Baiying, they all praised him for being sensible and decent.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiahou clapped her hands and laughed: "Today is a going out banquet, a folk going out banquet. As usual, the bride's family will have to take the exam for the groom's office. Bai Ying, if you have the heart, you can't lose the momentum of our Xiahou family." .You should let Mr. Yang compete with you to test whether our Xiahou family is worthy of your Su family."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present clapped their hands and booed.It is impolite to let the guests compete with swords, but if the bride's family members test the groom's officer at the going out banquet, it is justified and festive.Yang Yunzhang couldn't refuse after hearing that, the Su family had no sons, he was nurtured by the Su family since he was a child, at this moment it was time to help the Su family get ahead, he and Xiahou Baiying each drew their long swords and put on a stance.Both of them came from medical schools. Yang Yunzhang was taught by his father when he was young, and his moves were more practical, and his light skills were sharp, while Xiahou Baiying didn't pay much attention to moves, and used the formula of nourishing the heart to protect the body, and moved erratically.

Everyone here is one of the most famous figures in the martial arts world. Even the girls from Yunshangfang are well-informed and have friends with martial arts people. Everyone is fascinated by it for a while.Bai Guo could only watch the excitement, seeing the figures of the two flying around, blocking left and right, all she could do was applaud.Others who are well versed in martial arts such as Master Mingxin, Elder Luo of the Beggar Gang, and even Master Ye Shao of Tianji Pavilion and Wen Tao all saw that Yang Yunzhang was obviously inferior to Xiahou Baiying.Ordinarily, there is a custom of the bride's natal family to test the groom's officials at the going-out banquet, but most of them stop at nothing, but Xiahou Baiying's moves are getting faster and faster, as if she doesn't want to give in, but seeing that Yang Yunzhang is gradually stretched, Xiahou Baiying's sword is even more ruthless, In the blink of an eye, Yang Yunzhang was unable to stop him, and his left arm was cut by Xiahou Baiying's long sword.

Everyone exclaimed for a while, and suddenly saw a white shadow flash past.
