Regardless of his son's shocked gaze, Xu Zhenbang waved his hand and motioned for Xu Zhengguo to step back.

Although his heart was full of doubts and puzzles, Xu Zhengguo nodded quickly, and then walked out of the study.

After the door of the study was closed by Xu Zhengguo, only Xu Zhenbang and the two young guests were left in the room.

"Come, Mr. Song, Miss Zhao, please take a seat, the old man just soaked a pot of Yuqian Longjing, I don't know if it suits the appetite of the two." Xu Zhenbang pointed to a side hall next to the study that was used to greet guests, and there was obviously a hint of flattery in his tone.

To be able to make the commander-in-chief of a military region speak so respectfully, the identity of this young man and woman in front of him is not ordinary.

The young man surnamed Song was the first to nod, and he was not polite and sat down directly on the main seat in the side hall. As for the young woman surnamed Zhao, she walked up to an ancient painting hanging in the side hall and looked at it.

"Miss Zhao also has research on these ancient paintings?" Xu Zhenbang personally served tea to the two, and saw that the young woman surnamed Zhao had been looking at the ancient painting, so he couldn't help asking.

"I usually have some research, but I don't do it deeply." The young woman surnamed Zhao smiled slightly, and her voice was very pleasant.

"Elder Xu, today we are here to convey to you Chairman Gu's order, some details about the formation of the 'team'." The young man surnamed Song said lightly while drinking tea.

Hearing this, Xu Zhenbang immediately sat up straight, although he was over sixty years old, he was still meticulous in his sitting posture as a soldier, straight as a sword out of the sheath.

……

The time soon came to noon, and the Xu family's family banquet was about to start, and when the banquet was almost open, Xu Jieqin finally came back, but her face didn't seem to be very good, her eyes were still red, and she knew that she had been wronged at a glance.

"Mom, do you see Grandpa?" Qinglu Nadeshiko asked.

"Your grandfather seems to be looking to meet some very important guests, but I didn't see anyone today, but I met your grandmother." Xu Jieqin said with a very reluctant smile.

Qinglu Nadeshiko knew that her mother didn't want to continue, so she was also very interested and didn't ask, but in her heart, she still felt sorry for her mother, and she didn't understand why she had to come to this so-called family banquet today.

At 12:30 p.m., the feast finally began. Up and down the Xu family, counting from Xu Zhenbang's generation, there are three people in the next room, Xu Zhenbang is the boss and the boss, and there is a brother and a sister below.

The second brother Xu Zhenxing is also a soldier, although his position is not as high as Xu Zhenbang, but he is also a high authority in Huaxia. He also has a son and a daughter below, and the daughter is Xu Xiuzhen, who has a holiday with Xu Jieqin.

As for the third sister Xu Xuening, she married abroad many years ago, so she did not attend the family banquet today.

In the next generation, Xu Zhenbang himself has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is Xu Zhengguo, the second son is called Xu Zhenglin, and the third daughter is naturally Xu Jieqin, who was swept out of the house.

The last is the third generation of Qinglu Nadeshiko, but there are too many people, so I won't introduce them one by one here. In short, the entire Xu family, if all of them come, at least five or six tables can be placed.

Of course, although today's family banquet is not evenly crowded, with some protégés and guests, it can also be placed in three or four circles. No, the banquet hall of Nuoda is already busy at this time.

Lin Yue, under the leadership of Xu Jieqin, sat down at the most inconspicuous table near the door. As her own granddaughter, Xu Jieqin could have sat at the two tables in the center, but because of the events of the year, she understood that it was already a gift for her to be able to participate in this family banquet today.

When it was time to eat, Xu Zhenbang walked out of the study accompanied by a group of children and grandchildren, followed by two mysterious big men surnamed Song and Zhao.

At the banquet, the people of the Xu family toasted to Old Man Xu one after another, and the children and grandchildren of the third generation, including the Xu Tian'an brothers and sisters, also pretended to be well-behaved, and they had no contact with the domineering appearance before.

Xu Jieqin sat at the end of the seat, hesitated for a long time before standing up, and said to Qinglu Nadeshiko: "Yuzao, come with me to ask my grandfather for peace." ”

Even though Qinglu Nadeshi is a hundred unwilling, for the sake of his mother, he can only stand up. Lin Yue really wanted to follow, but Xu Jieqin naturally did not allow him, an "outsider", to mix.

"Yue, I'll go back when I go."

Qinglu Nadeshiko gave Lin Yue a reassuring look, and then walked with Xu Jieqin to the old man Xu who was surrounded by everyone with a wine glass.

This meal is indeed not a taste to eat, it is said to be a family banquet, in fact, many people take this opportunity to climb the big tree of the Xu family. Not only that, but in fact, the internal struggle within the Xu family is also quite fierce, especially over the years, the factional struggle between the two sons of Old Man Xu has become more intense.

Xu Zhengguo and Xu Zhengxing are like brothers on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly competing, and both sides are peeking at the position of the head of the Xu family.

A good family banquet, because of the relationship between various interests and all kinds of hypocritical masks, Lin Yue felt uncomfortable just sitting there.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Xu Jieqin and Qinglu Nadeshiko finally came back, their faces were not very good, and they didn't know if they had talked to Old Man Xu.

Lin Yue didn't ask them about the results, just sat there quietly with them, waiting for the so-called family banquet to end.

The meal was finally eaten until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the guests were sent away, leaving the Xu family still there. When Xu Zhenbang returned to the study to rest, the third generation of the Xu family, who had been holding back for a long time, finally began to become active.

Originally, as soon as the meal was finished, Lin Yue couldn't wait to leave with Qinglu Fuzi, but he didn't expect that these rich second generations led by Xu Tian'an suddenly came over.

"Third aunt, cousin, are you leaving?" Xu Tian'an led people in front of them, asking with concern on the surface, but in fact he had ulterior motives.

"The meal is over, so we naturally have to go." Qinglu Nadeshiko said lightly that she didn't like to get along with these relatives very much.

"It's rare for our Xu family to have a family banquet today, it's a pity to leave like this, won't my cousin stay and play with us?" Xu Tian'an said with a smile.

"Yes, my brother has prepared a lot of programs, cousin, you can stay." Xu Tianli also echoed beside her, looking enthusiastic.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Qinglu Nadeshiko still refused coldly.

After that, he was about to leave holding Xu Jieqin's hand, but at this time, Xu Jieqin suddenly grabbed her and said to her: "Yuzao, it's rare for your cousin to invite, you can stay and play for a while, anyway, I still have something to discuss with your grandfather." ”

This morning, Xu Zhenbang basically stayed in the study to greet guests, and she didn't see him at all. When I toasted just now, I was also stopped by Xu Xiuzhen's woman, and I didn't say a word.

"Mom?"

"Well, just for a moment." Xu Jieqin said, and unexpectedly glanced at Lin Yue and said, "Xiao Yue, please take care of Yuzao." ”

"Huh?" Lin Yue didn't expect Xu Jieqin to talk to him, so he responded with a conditioned reflex.

As soon as Xu Jieqin left, the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff, Xu Tian'an, Xu Tianli's brothers and sisters didn't know what to worry about, and they kept inviting them to play.

Qinglu Nadeshiko ignored them with a calm face, but Lin Yue couldn't stand it a little, so he said for her: "Want to play together?" Okay, what's going on? ”

Seeing that the big fish was finally fishing, Xu Tian'an and Xu Tianli glanced at each other, and each other's seriousness flashed a trace of ill-will, and then Xu Tian'an smiled: "You must have played this game, it is the most popular virtual online game now-'Realm OL'." ”
