Infinite Script Killing
Chapter 362 The Xiang Family Night Banquet
Wang Zheng is practicing boxing, Gao Zhuo is refining corpses, Huo Wuji and others are busy spreading the word about Fu Xian.
When Yang Qi was sent to the palace, Jixiang and Daya were also very busy now.
Ji Xiang is responsible for controlling the rats in the capital, while Da Ya needs to constantly collect intelligence and identify the needs of ordinary people.
For example, if a family has been unlucky recently and their life is almost unbearable, this is within the scope of help. If a family wants to have prosperous gambling luck, just ignore it.
If you encounter any trouble, let Fa Cai handle it. This guy also has a certain fighting ability, and he will have no problem dealing with cats and dogs.
Xu Tong's side finally became quiet.
Are you clean?
Of course not, because there is one more thing he needs to figure out.
After returning home and lying on the chair, Le Rou came over carefully with a plate of snacks. This girl had been in the house for a while and had become accustomed to the life here.
In addition, since she was the girl in her own room, other servants did not dare to make things difficult for her.
"You really can't remember what happened to you in the past?"
Xu Tong opened his mouth and ate the orange that Lerou had picked, and looked at Lerou again.
In the past, I didn't see this girl clearly enough, but after Qimen was promoted, when I looked at this girl again, I found that there was a special wave surrounding this girl.
It was like the lines resonated strongly with everything around them. What made him feel even more weird was that there were always some vague shadows vaguely visible behind Lerou.
If these shadows are the gods in the dark, then does their appearance behind Lerou mean that Lerou is the person they protect? ?
What is her origin, and why does the White Lotus Saint in Lianshan Temple look like her?
"Master, why are you looking at me like this??"
Lerou asked with embarrassment as Xu Tong stared at her.
"Look how beautiful you are." Xu Tong was eating an orange, glanced at the orange peel on her hand, and casually took the orange peel from her hand.
My little hands are so soft.
"Master!"
Lerou scolded, got up and ran back to the room.
After Lerou left, Xu Tongcai took the orange peels in his hand and used the plum blossom number to calculate a divination for her according to the number of divided orange peels.
It's hard to say whether the results are good or bad.
Fire and water: Weiji Gua
This kind of hexagram indicates that things are not over yet, and there will be danger if you act rashly. However, it is not a death hexagram, which means that things will turn around.
"Young Master Xiang's family is having a banquet tonight. The master and young master are invited to the banquet. The master said that you should go to the Xiang's family in advance to wait. The gifts have been prepared by the eldest grandma." Xu Tong was doing his fortune-telling when the servants of the family came to report.
Xu Tong waved his hand to show that he understood.
He clapped his hands and saw a black wind flying in, rolling under Xu Tong's feet, revealing a huge rat head.
"What's going on with the Xiang family?"
"have no idea."
Surprisingly, Ji Xiang, who controls the entire capital, was unable to find out about the Xiang family.
After Ji Xianghao explained, Xu Tong finally understood that the Xiang family's yard looked ordinary, but inside there was a master who had secretly arranged the four evils of Feng Shui.
Some mice will die suddenly and inexplicably soon after entering. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, there are still many cats and dogs inside, and they are purely used as takeaways.
"It seems that there are still experts in the Xiang family." Although Xu Tong was disappointed with the result, he was not surprised after thinking about it.
After all, the Xiang family has been a pig in the limelight over the years, soaring to the sky.
After the big shots in the imperial court passed away one after another, Xiang Gongbao's rise was almost unstoppable, and now he has become unstoppable when he dominates the world.
If there is really no expert guidance behind this, it seems unreasonable.
Since he couldn't know the purpose of the Xiang family's banquet tonight in advance, he could only go there once.
Put on some festive clothes and bring gifts.
When they arrived at Xiang's house, they saw a long queue of carriages outside.
Of course, most people can't actually enter the gate at all, so they can only wait outside the door with gifts.
Now the snack vendors at the roadside stalls were very happy.
With so many people, we can't just wait around. In addition to the master who came, there are also the grooms and servants. Their food naturally falls on these stalls, which really makes a lot of people make a lot of money.
"Dingling...Dingling..."
A carriage stopped in front of the Xiang family's gate. There was a bell hanging on the carriage and it was decorated with pink brocade. At first glance, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.
Xu Tong walked behind and looked at the woman coming out of the carriage. Ji Xiang, who was hiding at the entrance of the hall, said, "Headmaster, it's her. She's the one in Xiangyue Tower."
Xu Tong suddenly realized when he heard this: "So she is the fourth player, Qiao Xiaofeng."
The driver's servants sitting in the shade around him quietly poked their heads out and looked at it.
Looking at that figure, several servants drooled with greed:
"It's so beautiful. She deserves to be the number one in Xiangyue Tower. Give me one night and it's worth dying for."
"Bah, give you one more night?? Just give me a cup of tea."
While several people were talking, Qiao Xiaofeng looked back as if she was feeling something. When she saw the group of servants who were staring at her with rapt attention, she gave them an unabashed look.
One of the servants suddenly stiffened his joints and lay on the stone, trembling: "Hey, I've had enough!"
After Qiao Xiaofeng was invited to the door, Xu Tongcai walked in with the gift. The servants at the door all recognized him and knew that he was the eldest son of the March family. The steward even walked forward enthusiastically and said to Xu Tong with cupped hands. : "Oh, Mr. Ma came just in time. My young master is waiting for you behind."
Xu Tong casually put a piece of silver into the butler's hand: "Why is there suddenly a banquet in the house today? Why is it so lively?"
The housekeeper calmly kicked the money into his arms: "Not long ago, an old immortal came to the house. He counted with his fingers and said that my master can have another son. He was born last night. Look at it. He is really a big fat boy, and the master was so happy that he specially prepared a banquet."
"Old Immortal!"
Xu Tong could think of this old immortal as soon as he thought about it. He was probably the Xunlong Taoist from Taoyuan Temple.
"Brother Ma!"
At this time, he heard someone shouting behind him. Xu Tong turned around and found that it was Mr. Li.
Seeing this, the housekeeper wisely walked aside to greet other guests.
"Let's go. It's rare to be here together. Let's go in. I heard that there will be a performance by Qiao Xiaofeng tonight."
Mr. Li pulled Xu Tong forward.
Just take a few steps.
A group of foreigners wearing black robes appeared in the sight of the two of them. Mr. Li obviously had no good impression of these foreigners and snorted coldly: "These Western devils are really annoying. Even when they got here, they didn't forget to spread their bullshit Western religion."
Xu Tong looked around and saw two Western priests promoting the mythical epic of their Holy See to those on the side.
I have to say that foreign monks like to chant sutras.
After a while, a string of shining silver crosses appeared on the necks of several of them.
Do they believe it? Believe it or not.
But this does not prevent them from being proud of it. The shining silver cross is more like a decoration that highlights their identity and expresses their uniqueness.
Well... to put it simply, you can understand that Shamate is not mainstream.
"Brother Li, Brother Ma, this way!"
Xiang Keding waved to the two of them: "Quick, I'll take you to see something good."
As he said that, he pulled the two of them toward the backyard.
The Xiang family's mansion is surprisingly large. It is said that it was once a royal palace.
There is a strange machine placed in the garden at the moment.
"Look, this is the latest steam generator given to my father by foreigners."
Xiang Keding led the two of them to the machine. They saw that the machine was still running, and two servants on the side kept adding coal to it.
Several elderly people were sitting aside waiting, and many officials were pointing at the iron lump.
"This is the latest steam motor from foreigners. It generates electricity quickly and stably, but it is not good at all. It burns too much coal. It uses four or five times more coal in one night than usual."
Xu Tong's ears twitched, and he thought the sound sounded so familiar. When he looked around, he saw Fu Anning standing in the crowd, enthusiastically introducing the origin of this thing to everyone.
While he was talking, there were sudden flashes around him.
But after a while, the light bulbs came on one after another.
The lights turned on, illuminating the entire Xiang family. It was not dark yet, but it was illuminated brightly by these lights.
Even Mr. Li, who has no good feelings toward foreigners, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the lights around him.
“It’s truly a blessing that conquers the world.”
"In addition to generating electricity, it can also provide heating. There will be no need to burn coal stoves in the future, and the house will be very warm in winter."
Xiang Keding smiled and joked to the two of them: "In the future, you can come to my house to drink. It will be very comfortable."
Xu Tong and Mr. Li were delighted when they heard this. Xu Tong was about to speak when he suddenly felt a strange sense of peeping behind him and subconsciously looked back.
I saw the light shining on the wrinkled face, and the slender eyes were blurred into a slit. Fu Anning stood behind him and looked at him with a half-smile on his face: "Mr. Ma, you are fine. "
