chapter 7 Birthday banquet

"This trip has been rewarding!"

On the way home, Ethan Xiao was very satisfied with the trip.

Not only did he earn one hundred thousand taels of silver, but he also got the only surviving masterpiece of the life-killing scholar. It was indeed a worthwhile trip.

"The "Fu Hu Sword Art" is the sword art obtained by Golden Trace after simplifying the "Death and Soul Chasing Sword". This man is indeed a natural born swordsman!"

Ethan Xiao glanced at the scroll in his hand.

Nanhuang City is just a remote town.

Even for the Fang family, which is one of the four major families, the highest level of martial arts in the family is the third-grade intermediate level.

This "Fu Hu Sword Jue" can be regarded as the treasure of the clan, and it is definitely enough as a birthday gift for Fang Tianhao: "This birthday gift should be able to give Qingzhu a long face!"

Taking such a precious martial skill as a congratulatory gift was not to please Fang Tianhao.

It's just to make up for the guilt of his opponent Qingzhu!

…………

The next evening.

As the sun set, it burned the sky in the west into red, as if it was covered with a layer of red clouds.

Fang Qingzhu came to meet Ethan Xiao in the small courtyard, looking at the crumpled clothes on his body, Fang Qingzhu frowned: "Didn't I give you a hundred taels of silver to buy clothes?"

Ethan Xiao touched his nose: "Sorry, I forgot."

After leaving from Mr. Yan yesterday, he went straight home and forgot about buying clothes.

"you……"

Fang Qingzhu opened his mouth, and finally turned into a weak sigh, "Forget it, no matter how brightly you dress, those people won't look at you because of it, that's it! It's getting late, we should set off... "

Xiao Yi said: "Just you and me?"

He remembered that Fang Qingzhu's parents were still alive, and he had a younger brother. Why were they missing?

Fang Qingzhu's eyes dimmed, and he didn't want to mention more, and said lightly: "They have already passed by first!"

"Okay, just wait a moment!"

Ethan Xiao returned to the house and took the "Sword of Crouching Tiger" over.

Fang Qingzhu frowned and said, "What is this?"

Xiao Yi said: "Birthday gift!"

Fang Qingzhu took a deep look at Ethan Xiao, didn't say much, and said lightly: "I've already said that I will prepare the gift... But since you prepared it yourself, then use yours!"

The two took a carriage to the main courtyard of the Fang family.

The Dafang family was decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy, people coming and going, and it was extremely lively.

The birthday banquet will be held in the banquet living room of the Fang Mansion. Thirty or so big red tables are neatly arranged, and all the people sitting there are prominent figures in Nanhuang City.

Charlie Chen, the head of the Chen family, Zhao Yuri Zhao family, and Zhang Zhang, who are also members of the four major families, are all high-ranking leaders.

In addition, Lei Hu, the head of the Black Tiger Gang, Nie Tianying, the head of the Flying Eagle Escort Bureau, and so on, each of them brought a generous birthday gift, which is enough to show the status of the Fang family in Nanhuang City.

Today's birthday boy is Fang Tianhao, the patriarch of the Fang family, and he is also Fang Qingzhu's grandfather.

Fang Tianhao, who was dressed in a fiery red python robe with a red face, was chatting happily with the heads of the other three major families.

Fang Qingzhu's parents, Fang Zheng and Lily Liu, brought their son Fang Hao, and were entertaining the guests with smiles on their faces, when they suddenly saw a servant coming to report: "Master, madam, Miss Qingzhu and uncle are here!"

The faces of Fangzheng and his wife who were all smiling changed, and the smiles disappeared.

It's as disgusting as pulling out a beautiful woman, only to find that the other party is a man.

Fangzheng snorted coldly: "They came as soon as they came, so why don't I greet them personally?"

Lily Liu face was full of disgust, and she scolded: "Remember, that trash is not our son-in-law, next time you make a mistake and get out of Fang's house!"

"Slave, I know I'm wrong!" The servant was terrified.

Dressed in brocade robes, the glamorous Fang Hao said impatiently: "Father, mother, please stop arguing, let me go and have a look!"

Fangzheng's face was full of disgust, so he waved his hands and said, "Just arrange a corner for them to sit in!"

"clear!"

Fang Hao came to the door lazily, glanced at Fang Qingzhu and Ethan Xiao, and said in a strange way, "Hey, isn't this my proud sister and good-for-nothing brother-in-law? You two can be counted here, and I specially gave it to you." Seats are arranged, come with me!"

At the beginning, Fang Qingzhu was the girl of heaven, and the whole family supported her like stars.

Fang Hao was often taught a lesson by Fang Qingzhu.

now……

Fang Qingzhu became a useless person, and even his status as the heir to the head of the family would be revoked after Fang Jin came back. He was very happy in his heart.

Fang Hao directly took the two of them to the most remote corner, and the others were all red tables, full of wine and food. But here, they only have two cold dishes, not even a tableware.

Fang Hao said: "There are so many guests that we can't sit down in front, and what Grandpa means is to tell you not to show up, so as not to cause dissatisfaction with other guests, you can just settle here!"

"Is this what grandpa meant? Or did your parents tell you to do this?" Fang Qingzhu's delicate body trembled slightly, and asked word by word.

There are empty seats at the tables in front of them. Where are there too many customers to sit down?

This is clearly humiliating them on purpose!

When is it time to celebrate grandpa's birthday and worry about sitting in front and dissatisfying the guests? Could it be that my family members are not as good as those so-called guests?

Facing Fang Qingzhu's questioning, Fang Hao said hypocritically: "Sister, this is because you think too much! Today is grandpa's birthday, and the most important thing is for him to be happy. It's just a seat. Where is it not to sit? Right? "

Ethan Xiao glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and sneered.

Where is sitting instead of sitting?

Then why don't you sit here? Why not arrange the heads of the other three major families here?

But looking at the silent Fang Qingzhu beside him, Ethan Xiao knew that at this moment her heart was more uncomfortable than himself. After all, it was her own brother who arranged her here, and he knew very well the feeling of being humiliated by a close relative.

This is a powerlessness and heartache that cannot be described in words.

It broke our hearts.

"Sister, you just stay here! I'll go first!" Fang Hao laughed and walked away.

The situation here is naturally seen by the guests, whispering one by one, and the words are unsightly: "That is the Fang family's useless son-in-law? He looks quite handsome, but it's a pity that he is a useless..."

"More than trash? He's still a villain. In the past, Fang Tianhao and Qingzhu held each other in his hands for fear of falling and melting in his mouth. Look now? Arrange them in the farthest corner, with decent food and drinks nothing……"

At this moment, the banquet officially began.

Everyone pushed cups and changed cups, it was very lively.

Only in the corner where Ethan Xiao and the others were, there were only two cold dishes, which was extremely desolate.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Fangzheng, who was sitting at the main table, coughed lightly. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "Xiaohao, didn't you specially prepare a birthday gift? Why don't you wish grandpa a birthday?"

"okay!"

Fang Hao's face was full of red. In the past, Fang Qingzhu was the protagonist of the birthday banquet. Now it's his turn. He smiled and said, "Grandpa, grandson has prepared a hundred-year-old blood ginseng for you. I wish you good luck like the East China Sea." Shoubi Nanshan."

The century-old blood ginseng is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Fang Tianhao smiled from ear to ear and said, "Good grandson, grandpa likes your gift very much!"

Fang Hao was proud in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be modest: "As long as Grandpa likes it!"

"Patriarch, my younger brother is far away from the king and can't come back to attend your birthday banquet. When he left, he specifically told me to give it to you personally!"

After a month of cultivation, Audrey Fang has basically recovered, but his voice has become a bit cold and sharp. Holding the jade box in both hands, he sent it to Fang Tianhao, "My little brother knows that the Patriarch likes to study sword manuals. This "Falling Leaf Sword Art" is The third-grade primary sword art, I hope the Patriarch will like it!"

hiss!

Everyone gasped and exclaimed again and again: "This "Falling Leaf Sword Art" costs at least one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"Even for the Fang family, such a sword formula can be regarded as the treasure of the town!"

Seeing the envious look in everyone's eyes, Fang Tianhao's face was flushed, and he felt that he had more face: "Okay, Fang Jin is indeed the best son of my Fang family. This gift is deeply in my heart!"

"If the head of the family likes it, the little brother will be very happy!"

There was a sinister look on Audrey Fang pale face, he looked towards Ethan Xiao and Fang Qingzhu, and said with a strange yin and yang, "I still remember to prepare a birthday gift for the Patriarch in the capital, Fang Qingzhu, you are the heir of the Patriarch of our Fang family, I don't know What gifts have you prepared for the Patriarch?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Ethan Xiao and the two in the corner one after another...
