353 Yang Jian Nezha Comes to the Door
This is a banquet prepared for the Thunder Lord in the sky, let alone Jia Mu, the Master of the Jia family and Aunt Xue, this is a serious matter.
Soon Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong were sent over to help Baochai with the Spring Dinner and reception in the front yard.
Not long after, all the nobles and princes in the capital knew that Shi Zhongkui was hosting a banquet for Duke Lei.
And as Wang Xifeng ordered people to go to the homes of old relatives and family friends, they asked if there were any good things like bear paws, fish lips, rhinoceros noses, leopard fetuses, etc.
It can be said that all the Xungui families in the capital send good things to the Shi family, no matter whether they can be made in a short time or not.
Baochai, Yingchun and Wang Xifeng didn't think anything of this. After all, they didn't lack these things at home. If it hadn't taken too much time to deal with them, there would be no need to borrow them from others.
And when the palace found out, they also sent Dai Quan and Xia Shouzhong to bring the ingredients and the royal chef.
But those nobles who came to join the banquet gave Baochai and others a headache.
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng smiled and said a few words to Baochai and Yingchun. Soon there were two door gods standing outside the main door of Shi's house.
Those who wanted to come in to attend the banquet saw Dai Quan and Xia Shouzhong standing on the left and right like disciples.
He immediately gave up his thoughts, shook his head and went home with a sigh.
Ying'er, Hu Hu, second sister, and third sister, who were staring at the maids in the side hall of the main hall, learned about it.
Finally, a little girl came into the main hall and whispered the matter in Shi Zhongkui's ear.
After hearing this, Shi Zhongkui smiled and said to Jia Lian and Xue Pan, "Second brother, Brother Pan, go to the front yard and tell those relatives that there are distinguished guests coming to my house today and we will not entertain them."
Jia Lian and Xue Pan thought about it and figured out what was going on. They stood up with a smile and clasped their fists at Shi Zhongkui and Lei Zhenzi.
But when the two of them had just walked a few steps, Shi Zhongkui suddenly had a thought.
One is a please, and two are also a please.
It's better to take the opportunity to invite Yang Jian and Nezha.
Thinking of this, he spoke to Jia Lian and Xue Pan again, "Go and invite my senior brother Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu and his son from Duke Tui's Mansion."
As soon as the news came out, the entire capital was filled with envy and regret.
Naturally, the Yu family and the Duke of Tui were overjoyed.
Because of Shi Zhongkui's face, Lei Zhenzi could only hold back and say nothing.
But after Jia Lian and Xue Pan left, Shi Zhongkui took out the Gongde Spirit Wine and said, "Senior brother, with his advanced cultivation, his ability to drink must be extraordinary.
I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough fun drinking with my senior brother, so I invited my close friends to drink with my senior brother.”
Lei Zhenzi's mood immediately improved.
"What are you talking about, dear brother? The more people drink, the more lively it will be. Besides, since we are my dear brother's best friend, we are naturally my brother's best friend."
Hearing this, Shi Zhongkui smiled and took the opportunity to say, "How about I post a message and invite Senior Brother Yang Jian and Nezha to come with me?"
Of course, Lei Zhenzi would not object, and said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that the wine at my brother's house is not enough."
Shi Zhongkui laughed, "Senior brother, what are you talking about? Even if I take out all the merit spirit wine hidden in the imperial horse prison, I will still accompany you."
Lei Zhenzi's face was overjoyed, "Then what are you waiting for? Post it as soon as possible."
Seriously speaking, when Lei Zhenzi was in the Battle of the Gods, although he belonged to the same Western Zhou camp as Yang Jian and Nezha, his strength and record were far behind Yang Jian and Nezha.
Moreover, Yun Zhongzi is not one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao, so the close relationship between Lei Zhenzi, Yang Jian, and Nezha is a little less interesting.
Lei Zhenzi is naturally eager to take the opportunity to have a drink and reminisce about old times.
Shi Zhongkui could also take the opportunity to add the names of Lei Zhenzi and Yang Jian on the invitation, so as not to invite Nezha alone, who might shirk the invitation.
And when Yang Jian saw that both Lei Zhenzi and Nezha had been invited, he would definitely not refuse.
Tongfu, Shi Guangzhu and Shi Huaiji, father and son, followed Jia Lian and Xue Pan into the main hall. Nezha and Yang Jian also suddenly appeared in the courtyard with a few followers.
Shi Zhongkui stood up quickly, followed Lei Zhenzi, and led everyone out to greet him quickly.
"I've met senior brother, I've met senior brother Yang."
When Nezha saw Shi Zhongkui saluting him first, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
He laughed and asked his entourage to give him the gift, then looked at Yang Jian proudly.
Yang Jian would not care about such things with Nezha. He helped Shi Zhongkui up and said, "Junior brother, I heard that after your previous battle with Sun Dasheng, you accepted his weapons?"
Shi Zhongkui was stunned. He never expected that Yang Jian would ask this question in the first sentence.
Cursing secretly, Nezha's expression became a little unnatural.
He smiled hurriedly and said, "Senior brother, I don't know, if it weren't for Wang Lingguan and the Thirty-six Thunder Gods, who would have fought Sun Dasheng for thousands of rounds that day, and if True Lord Blessing Saint was watching from the side.
How dare I fight him with this little skill?
Not to mention capturing Sun Dasheng’s weapons.”
After hearing this, Nezha's complexion improved a lot.
At least the fact that he was beaten by Monkey King so much that he dared not go out became less embarrassing when the Lord Yousheng, Wang Lingguan and the Thirty-Six Thunder Gods besieged Sun Wukong.
Yang Jian was a shrewd person and knew what Shi Zhongkui meant as soon as he heard it.
He laughed and patted Shi Zhongkui on the shoulder, "Junior brother is a man of merit. From now on, please go to my brother's home with me, Nezha and Lei Zhenzi."
Shi Zhongkui secretly rejoiced, "With Senior Brother's words, I will naturally go there often."
When they later accepted Jia Lian, Xue Pan, Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu and his son, Yang Jian and Nezha did not look askance at anyone.
Of course, the attitude was still perfunctory, but at least he was polite.
Waiting for Baochai, Yingchun took Daiyu and six concubines, and met Yang Jian and Nezha through the curtain. After seeing the gift, Yang Jian and Nezha both gave gifts.
Yang Jian even saw Lei Zhenzi looking embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he helped Lei Zhenzi make up a gift.
Shi Zhongkui didn't even need to look at the gift. Just from the jewels, he could tell that the gift from Yang Jian and Nezha was extraordinary.
When I feel happy, I will naturally bring good wine to you.
Yang Jian and Nezha drank the Gongde Immortal Wine, and the smiles on their faces were much brighter.
In addition, seeing that Jia Lian and the others were only drinking medicinal wine with some spiritual energy, the contrast made them feel even better.
As for spiritual fruits, cakes and other items, Yang Jian and the others naturally didn't pay much attention to them.
Before the dishes were served, Shi Zhongkui and I had several rounds of drinks.
Then Shi Zhongkui winked at Yu Tongfu. Yu Tongfu suppressed his excitement and fear, picked up his wine glass, said a lot of good things, and paid tribute to Yang Jian, Nezha and Lei Zhenzi.
Jia Lian, Xue Pan and Shi Guangzhu relaxed a lot when they saw that it was not difficult for them to talk.
After lighting the lamp, Yu Shun walked in and said a few words in Shi Zhongkui's ear.
Soon various dishes were served one by one.
Seeing that the people serving the dishes were all beautiful maids who had no experience in human affairs, Yang Jian and the others couldn't help but look at Shi Zhongkui with satisfaction.
Moreover, today’s dishes include bear paws, deer antler, rhinoceros nose, camel hump, civet cat, leopard fetus, lion breast, monkey brain and other eight delicacies.
There are also shark fins, abalone, fish lips, sea cucumbers, skirts, scallops, fish crisps, and water delicacies such as toads.
I immediately felt Shi Zhongkui's sincerity.
