Chapter 78, Banquet

The second brother's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Zhao, he walked over quickly and saluted with a happy face.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm having a good day today."

Yang Zhao was polite to him and said that he wanted to buy two men's hair crowns.

The younger brother obviously wanted to say something, but he endured it and invited her to drink tea. After asking for her request, he went to bring a plate of hair crowns for her to choose from.

She didn't want any hollow ones, but chose simple and steady ones. She chose a silver one inlaid with pearls and an old silver one with an animal head.

Huanglonggang is a seaside city, and pearls are relatively cheap.

A total of ten taels of silver were spent. Yang Zhao paid the money neatly and went back with the things.

Shen Ruoyu in the yard is watching Yang Zhao's training videos in the past few days in order to find out the shortcomings in her movements and spiritual power.

Seeing her holding a man's hair crown and shoes, she was a little confused.

"You are a woman, why don't you choose to wear women's clothing? I have never seen you wear it. People who cultivate should not despise their own gender. This will become the inner demon of future cultivation."

Yang Zhaozhen didn't think much about it. Her parents had favored her more due to illness since she was a child. She had good academic performance, was fierce in fights, and had never experienced any discrimination.

In junior high school, she restrained herself a bit, but a male classmate with a bad mouth once teased her about her sanitary napkin, and she got into a fight with him.

In the eyes of teachers, once a good child suddenly gets angry and fights, it must be the naughty child who started the dispute, not to mention a boy and a girl. So the teachers all sided with her.

Even the male classmate's parents apologized to Yang Zhao after they came, saying that his son was embarrassed by his bad words.

Yang Zhao could only tell him about the price once, but Shen Ruoyu looked blank. He didn't understand this.

"You have to keep this in mind. People with loopholes in their hearts will have a much harder time overcoming their inner demons."

After giving her a few words of advice, I began to correct her shortcomings based on the video.

She listened and gestured, and then the videos of these days were transferred to her mobile phone.

Yang Zhao's practice of marksmanship is different from others. He can only shoot a few targets in the air.

Shen Ruoyu led her to practice twice, teaching her the techniques of exerting physical force and the operation of spiritual power.

Then float the driftwood around Yang Zhao, and change the square formation according to her movements to ensure that her movements are standard.

Practicing bow and arrow is a lot boring. She only exerts force according to the regulations and pulls the hole bow three hundred times a day in order to achieve the standard of her movements.

In the afternoon, she changed the magic trick to the more difficult water ball trick. Every time she successfully summoned it, she had to hit the water ball against a specific driftwood.

Yang Zhao now practices the Sanqing Zhengyang Sutra twice a day, morning and evening, and his cultivation has obviously improved.

It was the progress she could see every day that supported her in mustering up the courage to take a medicinal bath every night.

When she hears the word medicinal bath now, she shudders.

The next day, Yang Zhao took the altered clothes and paid the balance of seven taels of silver.

She went to the pen and ink shop and bought two pieces of medium-sized paper and a medium-sized pen as a gift for tomorrow's banquet.

It is said that poor literature makes rich military, but if you want to use some high-end things for writing, it is also very expensive.

She hadn't even gone to the banquet yet, but she had already spent so much money.

Therefore, the food at banquets is expensive, which is the same in ancient and modern times.

On the third day, Yang Zhao finished washing up early, put on his moon-white clothes, put on a silver hair crown with pearls, put on his newly bought shoes and socks, estimated the time, took the post and went to the banquet with a happy face. .

Even Shen Ruoyu nodded slightly when he saw her, showing a satisfied look.

Dressing up can make people feel happy.

Naturally, Yang Zhao didn't dare to walk there because he was wearing new shoes, so he rented a beast cart and headed to Liu's Mansion.

When she arrived, the entire Liu Mansion was decorated with lights and everyone was beaming with joy.

There was an endless stream of people coming in with gifts. Judging from their clothes, it was clear that these people had a certain status.

There is no such thing as a lintel.

Yang Zhao entered from the side door, handed the gift to the butler's boy by the door, and was led by the maid into the side hall to sit down.

The people in this hall were all teachers from the Liu family, including men and women, old and young. There was a large table surrounding them, and Yang Zhao didn't recognize any of them.

She estimated that half of the people here were the teachers of the eldest young master in the Liu family.

She had little qualifications here, so she said hello cheerfully and found the next seat to sit down.

Half of the people at this table were talking loudly. If the person praised Miss Ruojuan for being naturally intelligent, he would then follow up with the following sentence: Mr. So-and-so is very knowledgeable.

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and even Yang Zhao, who was not familiar with them, was taken out and praised.

The good-tempered teachers across the street laughed dryly and agreed, while the bad-tempered ones turned pale and stopped talking.

It seems that the eldest son of the Liu family did not do very well in the exam, otherwise those gentlemen would have opened their mouths to fight back.

This student is the face of the teacher, and the battles between teachers are all reflected in the students. Especially after the exam, the battle for face reaches a climax.

Especially if there is only one student, it will be even more difficult in terms of face.

There were tea and snacks on the table, and the servants and maids were standing next to them.

Yang Zhao drank tea slowly, picked a piece of snack and grinded her teeth. When others asked her questions, she responded with a smile or two without saying much.

When the sun rises and the banquet officially begins, the maids and maids serve the dishes and drinks as if they were running water. Every time a dish is served, the maid will crisply announce the name of the dish.

The gentlemen present were all very satisfied with these dishes, and even the livid-faced ones smiled.

Yang Zhao tasted a few of them, and they were indeed delicious. Moreover, she was in a good mood, and the food became even more delicious when she put it in her mouth.

Unlike the last time Zong Sheng entertained guests, it was just like talking about nothing and restless.

The servants waiting on the side have ears and eyes, and their hands and feet are nimble and skillful in pouring wine and dishes. They remove empty plates and garbage from the table in a timely manner without causing any objection.

Yang Zhao was not very clear about the status of the Liu family at first, but after looking at these servants, he knew that this was definitely a big family that had lasted for a long time. A small family simply could not cultivate so many well-behaved and smart servants.

While we were eating, a young man came in to salute and said in a loud voice: "The eldest master of the Liu family is coming to thank you gentlemen."

After hearing this, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up from their seats collectively, and automatically lined up in two rows. The older and more famous people stood in the front row, and the rest stood in the back row.

Yang Zhao followed the crowd and stood at the end.

A moment later, a burly middle-aged man walked out of the side hall, followed by Miss Ruojuan and a young man, but this man didn't look good.

"My Excellency, Liu Zhengxia, came here with my little nephew to thank you gentlemen for your support during this period of time."

Miss Ruojuan and the young man stood up together and solemnly saluted the gentlemen.
Chapter completed!
