It's not that all aristocratic families would embarrass them, it's just that the rules have been there for thousands of years. The so-called banquet is just to connect with each other or to show one's strength.
Therefore, the most important aspect is the interpersonal relationship. You must pay more attention to your words and words, and you must observe your words and emotions, and you must not violate the taboos of the host's family.
In short, after this banquet, not to mention feeling full, after returning several times, Yu Jinghong ate a large bowl of hot noodle soup and still felt that it was not enough.
After all, in order to stay awake, he didn't even dare to drink more alcohol.
Over time, both he and others in the Divine Sword Sect were filled with "fear" of those aristocratic family banquets.
Usually I hide whenever I can, but if I really can't hide, I have to sneak a few cakes in my pocket before I go out, so as not to be so hungry that my chest touches my back.
But now they naturally don't want to refuse the invitation from the head of the Gong family.
Originally, the master and the apprentice had already made up their minds before coming.
If not for anything else, even if it is for their daughter/junior sister, even if they are not used to it, they have to force themselves to get used to it.
But we can’t hold Yu Qing back.
But what I didn't expect was that at the Gong family's dining table, everyone was eating happily. Although no one was chatting, the atmosphere was very relaxed.
It's just like eating at home.
Lin Mengya had long seen the appearance of the master and apprentice, but as the host, paying too much attention to the guests would make them feel uncomfortable.
So, she quietly glanced at Yu Qing and signaled her to take care of her father and senior brother.
Yu Qing is very clever, and the tacit understanding between her and Lin Mengya has increased rapidly recently.
She immediately noticed the restraint of her father and her second senior brother, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Dad and the second senior brother are all doing it for themselves. In this case, she should let them integrate into them quickly.
So, Yu Qing smiled and gave her father a chopstick of elbow meat.
"Dad, try this."
Yu Jinghong was startled and subconsciously wanted to stop his daughter from doing something rude. Who knew that before she could speak, Bai Su, who was sitting next to Lin Mengya, stood up and picked up a piece of elbow meat with serving chopsticks.
"Master, this elbow is particularly soft today. Can you try it?"
Lin Mengya immediately took it. The meat of the bright red and tender elbow was full of fragrance. As soon as she took a bite, she knew that the elbow was really stewed to the right time. It was like the tenderest jelly. A gentle sip left a fragrant taste in her mouth.
Anyone who has spent time with Lin Mengya knows that she is never picky about food and prefers meat in her diet.
This causes people who eat with her for a long time to unknowingly gravitate towards her eating habits.
As for those with bad gastrointestinal problems, isn’t it because she is here? She can fix any gastrointestinal problems, and then she shows off along with them.
Yu Jinghong and Yu Xiao looked at the head of the Gong family with some surprise.
No, how on earth did such a beautiful and stunning girl manage to eat half of the elbow meat in small bites?
Lin Mengya noticed the other party's gaze and did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she smiled and said, "But these meals are not to your liking?"
The masters and disciples of the Yu family were only surprised. In their impression, although the heads of the big families or the stewards also had a heavy appetite, it was not because they were bad at people behind their backs, but because of the food they ate. Really,
Some of them they've never heard of
.
But the table in front of me includes meat, vegetarian, dry and soup dishes, but the main focus is on the benefits.
Well, I took a bite and it was indeed good.
Lin Mengya said something and continued to cook. Qinghu and Bai Su sat next to her on the left and right, and from time to time they would use serving chopsticks to pick up some vegetables for her that were out of her reach.
After seeing this scene, the masters and disciples of the Yu family gradually relaxed a lot.
What can I say? It seems to be no different from eating at home.
In fact, usually Lin Mengya and the others are not so bold, but as the host, if she behaves well when eating, the guests will only be more cautious than her.
Therefore, if she takes the lead and acts casually, the guests will be relatively relaxed.
Yu Jinghong suddenly felt that the big elbow meat in the bowl was a bit too tempting.
He couldn't help but take a big bite, oh, it smells delicious! It's so delicious!
Yu Qing saw that her father had already begun to eat, and gave the second senior brother his favorite fish.
The Yu family's eating habits are also very good. Everyone is busy but not messy, and they don't have the habit of smacking their lips or rummaging through the dishes.
The dishes on this large table were all quickly cleared up, and everyone was extremely satisfied.
After the meal, everyone went to Lin Mengya's place to get the pills to eliminate the food as a habit.
Of course, this medicine is not because they eat too much, but because Lin Mengya adjusts the digestion pills according to each person's eating habits and physical fitness.
It is designed to better promote the absorption of nutrients, so that every bite of food can play its maximum role.
After all, eating is so tiring, how can you eat for nothing?
Yu Qing also asked her father and second senior brother to push her over.
Both of them felt a little strange.
how to say?
I saw that everyone was like children, lining up one by one to walk in front of the head of the Gong family, then received their own share of pills and drank them obediently.
Just, I feel a sense of shame!
When it was their turn, the master and apprentice of the Yu family thought that they would not have two newcomers, but the head of the Gong family also gave them one pill each.
"I see that you two have been worrying a lot lately. In fact, this is not good for your stomach and intestines. This pill can relieve depression and stimulate your appetite. Give it a try."
Lin Mengya handed it to the two of them with a smile.
Yu Jinghong didn't say anything and just swallowed it.
Don’t tell me, it still tastes good!
Yu Xiao held the pill in the palm of her hand, observed it curiously, and then carefully put it in her mouth.
Of course, they didn't doubt that the head of the Gong family would give them poison or something.
After everyone had taken their medicine and had digested their food, Lin Mengya got down to business.
"Master Yu, I have made an appointment with several people in authority from the ancient clan for a time and place for our meeting. It will be on the beach on the edge of the bay in five days."
As for the location of the joint discussion, Lin Mengya decided to leave it there after repeated consideration.
The crisis is behind them. If they still lick their faces and continue fighting with her, then she has nothing to say.
Yu Jinghong's expression also became serious. He carefully calculated the time and said, "Okay, I will bring someone to help the Gong family leader at that time."
That means that he will resolve the internal conflicts among the Jianghu people before the peace talks.
It is true that most people in Jianghu hate evil, but wherever there are people, there will be disputes, especially in Jianghu.
How to get them to put aside their old grudges and join hands to fight against foreign enemies, that's what he, the number one person in the martial arts world, has to do.
Even though there are some challenges, he is still obliged to do so.
Lin Mengya thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you need some help."
Yu Jinghong didn't understand what she meant. At this moment, Bai Su took out a thin roster and handed it to Yu Jinghong.
"This is?"
"The names recorded in this roster are the people from the world who I rescued from the Mo family. I think if they follow me to persuade me, maybe Senior Yu can do better."
Yu Jinghong also immediately thought of the subtlety of this idea.
Of course, this kind of thing all depends on resources. Some people don't want to expose their scars in front of others, so they can't force others.
But Yu Jinghong would persuade them with affection and reason.
After all, this is a critical moment of life and death. If everyone can still unite to fight against foreign enemies, then what awaits them will be a dark future.
The injuries on these people are not only the ambitions of the Mo family, but also a small preview of the future.
If they continue to be blind and blind, this will be the beginning of their miserable life.
After Yu Jinghong got this list, he couldn't stand the rest anymore, so he left in a hurry and went to study the candidates.
He is familiar with the world and knows many people, so he naturally knows some connections that can be used.
Lin Mengya let him go, after all, time was tight now.
Yu Qing also took Little Cherry to practice Qigong. This was an unbeatable time in the afternoon. At the same time, it was also the time for Yu Qing to test her teaching experience.
Of course Qinghu had his own things to do and left not long after.
Later, only Lin Mengya and Bai Su were left in the room, as well as Yu Xiao, who seemed to be in a daze from just now.
Lin Mengya looked at Yu Xiao and said softly: "There is no one else in the room now. If Brother Yu has something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Only then did Yu Xiao come to his senses, or in other words, he ended his disguise.
He stood up and bowed to Lin Mengya calmly, "If it wasn't for the last resort, Yu Xiao would not have dared to offend the Gong Family Master so rudely, and I would like to ask the Gong Family Master for forgiveness."
He knew it was rude of him to do this, but now was no longer the time to think about such things.
Lin Mengya was somewhat interested in this second senior fellow from the Shenjian Sect who was somewhat "distinctive", so she graciously expressed that it was okay.
"Actually, I have always had a doubt in my mind, and I would like to ask Master Gong to answer it for me."
"Say it."
Yu Xiao then raised his head, looked at Lin Mengya, and said in a polite tone: "I want to know if the person who followed me last night was sent to protect me by you, the head of the Gong family?"
Lin Mengya didn't expect that Yu Xiao was so sharp.
But she had nothing to admit, so she nodded generously.
No one likes to be watched by others. In fact, when Yu Xiao left last night, his people followed him to ensure that he would not bring danger to them.
Of course, protection is really about protection. At least when they are around her, she wants to ensure everyone's safety.
"Then I'm relieved." Yu Xiao's face didn't show any displeasure, but there was a sense of relief that "it's true." Lin Mengya was even more confused, since he didn't call for an attack, what was he going to do?
