January 1, 2018

With the gentle winter snow, 2017 has quietly become a thing of the past.

At the moment of the New Year, in the sky above Qingyun City, the heads of the three major families joined hands to ring the Qingyun Ancient Bell, and the stirring bell spread all over the streets and alleys, waking up countless sleepy keepers. In the east of the city, the sleeping little girl muttered and turned over, and the ancient trees leaning against the courtyard wall also trembled slightly, shaking off the snow in the canopy.

On the heavy clouds, the cracks in the silk are gently pushed open by the bells, bringing the bright moonlight into the earth, and in the middle of the night, the Qingyun City covered in silver is dazzling.

The new year has finally begun.

In the early morning, the streets are much quieter than usual, and most of the people who insist on keeping the New Year are coveting the warmth of the bed. There are also a few hard-working people who have already gotten up early to start their own businesses.

For most people, it is the most important leisure time of the year, but for others, it is also the busiest time of the year.

And the Li family compound, before dawn, had already been in full swing to organize the evening celebration banquet, and the overall situation was still managed by Lu Xin, who was in charge of the family as the main mother, and the one who formed a partner with her and cooperated closely was Zhao Yan, a good friend of Ji Ji. The two of them stayed up almost all night, and arranged the whole thing in an orderly manner, but fortunately, for the monks, three or five days of all-nighters was insignificant.

By noon, the courtyard had begun to be lit up, gongs and drums were noisy, and it was completely in the atmosphere of today's carnival, and the children under the age of ten began to run around the courtyard, and several relatives who were not out of the house on weekdays also began to walk around and visit each other in the compound.

At noon, Li Fengyun, Li Jing, Li Kongcheng and other leaders of the family have gathered in front of Fengyun Tower, or to learn kendo spells, or to discuss the family business, unconsciously, time flies.

In the evening, the noise in the compound began to gradually decrease, the servants and maids took their positions, no longer scurrying around like ants in hot pots, and the naughty children who were fighting were restrained by their parents and were not allowed to make loud noises. The elders basically gathered in front of the Fengyun Building and no longer walked around, and some of the elders of the previous generation were almost all invited to the front of the building.

The celebration dinner is about to begin,

When Wang Jiu hurried from Shen Yuan in the eastern district of the city with his mount, he almost stepped on the point to enter, and he was already in a slight hurry.

However, the elders who were in charge of greeting did not seem to be the slightest dissatisfied, but nodded with satisfaction: "It's really on time." ”

Wang Jiuying said: "Precision is my specialty. ”

Shen Qingming bowed her head and apologized very ashamedly: "I'm sorry, I'm late......"

At the same time, he secretly scolded Wang Jiu in his heart: "Didn't you want you to wake me up in time?!" ”

Wang Jiu said: "Judging from the current situation, my ** time can be described as every second, not only accurately predicting your ...... to get up and wash, change clothes, and excrete"

"Enough is enough!" Shen Qingming directly stomped her feet and interrupted Wang Jiu's invitation, "It's me who was wrong, next time I should make it clear, the so-called timely, is to call me half an hour in advance!" ”

Wang Jiuqi said: "Why? I think my time planning is very accurate and reasonable, with your habits, you don't need more time to wash and change clothes, and the time to walk from Shen Yuan to the Li family's compound is even fixed, are you sleeping with a cold and causing diarrhea......"

"You're annoyed!"

While making noise, the two walked to the front of Fengyun Tower under the leadership of their elders.

At this time, almost all the guests who were invited to attend had already arrived, and after Shen Qingming and Wang Jiu came over, they all stood up and applauded, smiling brightly as if they were full of flowers.

"Our champion is coming!"

"I've seen ten years of Tianjiao Shen Qingming!"

The sound of cheers and laughter came in unison, making Shen Qingming's face flush and his body a little stiff. This kind of scene seems to be more tricky for her than the finals of Qingyunda.

Well, there is nothing to be nervous about against Sister Wanqing in the finals, the two have competed against each other many times in the past few months, and they also played a very serious simulation battle the day before the finals......

With zombie-like steps, Shen Qingming came to the seat arranged for her at home in a daze-unexpectedly, the main table, shared with Li Fengyun, Li Jing and other elders, which made her nervous for no reason.

Once upon a time, she was indignant against everyone in the Li family's compound, and she longed to share the sky with them, and she wanted to come today...... It was simply an unbearable black history, and thinking of this, Shen Qingming was even more uneasy.

Wang Jiu looked at her like a hemorrhoid attack from the side, and looked surprised: "Are you really not clean?" ”

Shen Qingming's emotions collapsed on the spot: "Wang Jiu! Don't think that today is a festive family banquet, I don't dare to swear and scold you! You're so annoying! Besides, who told you to sit next to me? Here's the main table, you know, the main table! ”

Wang Jiu said, "Of course, that's why I'm going to sit here to add luster to this banquet. ”

"You want to be shameless!?"

"Considering that the championship of the Qingyun Dabi this time is basically controlled by me myself, it is really a little ...... that you can sit here calmly."

Shen Qingming suddenly died down, and then secretly hated why he was fighting with him again in such an impossible battle of words.

The other people at the main table didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Jiu sitting here.

Even a few people who still don't know the true body of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword have seen a lot of Wang Jiu's magical powers and mysteries during this time, and they know the value and significance of his value to the Li family.

Before the banquet officially began, Lu Xin first looked at Shen Qingming with a complicated face, and then was pulled by Zhao Yan to lower his sleeves, then turned his head and thanked Wang Jiu very sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Wang Jiu these days." ”

"You're welcome, it's all what I'm supposed to do."

After casually responding to Lu Xin's thanks, Wang Jiu nodded with several other acquaintances at the table, and after that, he exchanged nonsense such as long-standing admiration for the name and good luck with some of the elders of the Li family who came from other tables to thank him. Then I couldn't help but feel that I had made a qualitative leap in dealing with the world and adapting to changes.

In the past, he didn't say anything about the long-term Xinghui, and generally handed the sword directly out and met his friends with the sword.

If those old friends were still there, they would have been amazed and admired by their rebirth. For example, that Zhao Yueming always said that without her, it would be impossible for him to live normally in human society, it was just nonsense, with his intelligence index of up to 9 points, he used to be just unwilling to be distracted by human affairs, but now as long as he is a little different, he will immediately become a leader in this way.

Leisurely, suddenly Li Fengyun in front of him stood up and arched his hand at everyone.

In an instant, the audience was full of silence, and the great masters at the peak of the mountain realm, even if it was an incomparably small movement, also had a decisive and powerful sense of existence, time, everyone's attention was invariably shifted to the past, and then quietly waited for the opening remarks of the head of the Li family.

Although most of the people present know that the work of this compound is basically presided over by Lu Xin and Zhao Yan, it is undeniable that there will always be only one person in charge of the Li family compound, and on this occasion of family celebration, Li Fengyun can only preside over the speech.

"Today's banquet is mainly for two things, which is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and celebrate the new year. Second, celebrate the heroes of this Qingyun Competition. The results of this Qingyun competition are quite gratifying. With a Xiuxian family winning the championship, such an achievement has only appeared once in the entire history of the Qingyun Grand Competition-the first Qingyun Grand Competition......"

After listening to a few words, Wang Jiu basically determined that the draft of the speech was jointly drafted by Lu Xin and Zhao Yan, and Li Fengyun only played the role of a sounder.

Because from his point of view, he could just see Lu Xin and Zhao Yanqi pinching a manuscript under the table, and then Lu Xin kept silent, and his mouth was like Li Fengyun...... The couple is clearly doing a double reed show!

In a sense, Li Fengyun really married a good wife, although Lu Xin is not his lifelong love, he obviously regards Li Fengyun as his lifelong love, and he really works hard for his husband.

The speech drafted by Lu Xin was not long—the family of cultivating immortals, and it was rare for them to be as proud of their frequencies as those official families—but simply and appropriately thanked everyone who worked hard for good results during the big competition, including the players on the field, the teachers off the field, and the rest of the people involved. Then he praised a few players with very gratifying results, and finally wished everyone a happy meal.

When Li Fengyun re-seated, the scene became popular in an instant.

In terms of aspects, the dishes on the table have really been carefully prepared, and each table is placed with side dishes and snacks cooked by Zhao Yan herself. On the other hand, it is also a good opportunity for the people in the compound to make friends with each other. Especially those young talents who have achieved good results in the Qingyun Competition and shown good talent are even more sought after by people, such as Li Chaolu and Li Xinyu, who have long been surrounded by their own families.

On the contrary, Shen Qingming's side is relatively clean, and the people sitting at the main table are all important people, and they have a well-behaved personality, and they don't dare to disturb them at will.

And when it was relatively quiet, Lu Xin got up first, raised his wine glass and saluted Shen Qingming: "Qingming, congratulations on winning the championship." ”

Shen Qingming was startled, subconsciously got up and greeted him with a wine glass, and said in his mouth; "Thank you......"

Then, she gritted her teeth gently, her heart seemed to throw away a lump that had existed for a long time, drank all the glass of wine, and said to Lu Xin again: "Mother, thank you." ”

Lu Xin's eyes turned red in an instant, and he turned his head away, not daring to look directly at Shen Qingming's gaze.

And Shen Qingming also seemed to be overwhelmed by the strength of wine, her cheeks were crimson, and at the same time she looked at her wine glass in disbelief, telling herself that she must have drunk too much before she said that word.

At the same time, the other people at the wine table invariably chose to be silent and not to break the wordless true feelings of the mother and daughter.

Until Wang Jiu opened his mouth and said, "Speaking of which, when are you going to worship the teacher?" ”

Rumble!

It was as if a manure tank had exploded out of thin air in the small building of spring, and all the warmth and charm were drowned in dung.

Shen Qingming gritted her teeth and looked at Wang Jiu, and then at Lu Xin, who had an embarrassed face.

That's right, she also remembered that a few months ago, she and Lu Xin made a vindictive bet in Zuixianlou, if Qingyun won the championship, Lu Xin would worship her as a teacher...... But think about it, how can such a bet count!

Not to mention that Shen Qingming won the championship all by relying on Wang Jiu, even if he really relied on his own ability to win the championship, could he still let the mother kowtow to her daughter with today's atmosphere!?

But what kind of person Lu Xin is, seeing that Wang Jiu broke the matter, she was unequivocal, gritted her teeth, and was about to lean down to prove that there is nothing she can't do for her daughter.

Fortunately, Shen Qingming's mind was unusually clear at this time, and the corners of her mouth smiled, so she preemptively said: "Mother, you said before that the parent-child meal I made that day was very delicious, and I will teach you to cook it when I am free another day." ”

Lu Xin paused, and her eyes began to redden.

This girl, in order to save her face, how much brains did she stir up in the blink of an eye......

In a word, changing the chaotic apprenticeship ceremony into a private kitchen between mother and daughter, Shen Qingming finally resolved the crisis caused by Wang Jiu.

However, at this moment, Wang Jiu said strangely: "When did you ever cook a parent-child meal?" ”

Shen Qingming couldn't bear it anymore and kicked over: "When you're not there!" ”
