"Huh!" Mr. Zhuge suddenly turned his head and looked out the door with wide eyes.
And all the guests in the venue suddenly burst into exclamations.
"What? Ye, Ye family??"
"hiss!"
Immediately afterwards, the originally lively courtyard suddenly fell into a dead silence.
The extremely quiet atmosphere was like a cemetery at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and not a single sound could be heard.
Is there someone from the Ye family in Beijing?
That's the Ye family in Beijing!
The well-deserved head of the three major families!
The top strength in the capital is the five Jiang families, but they are not as good as one Ye family!
And there are still many people holding important positions in the Ye family today, which is really powerful.
Even in this capital city of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the Ye family can cover half of the sky with just one hand!
No matter whether it is the Li family, the Zhuge family, or even the Jiang family and the Deng family among the three major families, they are not qualified to compare with the Ye family.
The Ye family in the capital is the real powerhouse, and no other force can compete with it.
At that time, there were more than just this number of families in the capital, at least more than a dozen families could be counted with two hands.
But at that time, several families did not accept the leadership of the Ye family, so they secretly united and prepared to bring down the Ye family.
The results of it?
Overnight, several big families were bloodbathed and disappeared from the capital without a trace.
Moreover, there was no mention of this matter at all, and no sanctions were taken against the Ye family.
Can you imagine how profound and terrifying the Ye family’s background is?
From then on, no one could shake the Ye family's status in the capital.
At this moment, the people who were sitting in the entire courtyard of the Zhuge family immediately stood up to greet him.
The person who was standing originally stood even more upright now.
In the capital city, the word "leaf" means a heaven-like existence.
No one dares to underestimate him.
Even though he was as arrogant as Jiang Xuanran, he nodded slightly at this moment and stood up straight to welcome the guests from the Ye family.
After a while, a person slowly walked in at the courtyard door.
He is about forty years old and wears a hand-tailored suit that looks simple and decent without being rude.
His face is as sharp and angular as a knife or an axe, his tiger eyes are piercing and his body is strong, giving him a powerful feeling.
The man stood quietly, holding an exquisite gift box in his hand.
On the outside of the gift box, there is a shocking word "LE".
Looking at the entire capital, even people with the same surname Ye would not dare to give gifts in the name of the Ye family so blatantly.
This person did not bring any bodyguards, but he alone gave people the shocking feeling of thousands of troops rushing towards him.
"Zhong Liangping of the Ye family, on the order of the head of the family, came to deliver congratulatory gifts to Mr. Zhuge."
The corners of the middle-aged mouth curled up, and then he slightly cupped his hands.
Ye Jiazhong Liangping, who holds the title of school official on his shoulders, no one dares to underestimate him.
However, a school officer like him is just a bodyguard and driver in the Ye family.
However, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.
Even if Zhong Liangping is not a school official and is just a driver for the Ye family, his status is unmatched by ordinary people.
"Welcome, Colonel. I am deeply honored. Please take a seat!"
Mr. Zhuge personally stepped forward to greet him, his demeanor and tone were extremely polite.
"Mr. Zhuge, you don't have to be like this. Liangping, after all, is a junior in front of the old heroes."
Zhongliang returned the gift calmly, without losing his grace.
"Okay! Take a seat!" Mr. Zhuge spoke concisely and to the point, extending his hand to invite Zhong Liangping.
Zhong Liangping nodded slightly, then walked up to the gift stand without squinting, gently put down the items, and then walked towards Mr. Zhuge and others.
The dragon walks and the tiger steps, the momentum is awe-inspiring, but it also gives people a restrained aura.
"Uncle Zhong!" Jiang Xuanran bowed his proud head and said hello respectfully.
Even though she is the daughter of the Jiang family, she does not dare to make any mistakes when facing the Ye family in the capital.
"It's good that the Jiang family has a daughter who has grown up!" Zhong Liang commented calmly.
Jiang Xuanran lowered his head and nodded, not daring to say no more.
Others didn't even have the courage to say hello to Zhong Liangping.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and observed Zhong Liangping secretly.
The momentum is calm and restrained, like a sword with a hidden edge in a scabbard.
When he stood here alone, he felt like a towering mountain, crushing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Zhong Liangping is just a bodyguard of the Ye family, but he has such a great aura. What kind of person must the head of the Ye family be?
Lu Yu felt incomprehensible in his heart.
Youdao didn't know that he was a junior official until he arrived in the capital. At this moment, he finally understood.
Zhuge Jianyuan greeted him, and all the guests took their seats one after another.
Mr. Zhuge, on the other hand, led Lu Yu, Li Jason and others, plus Jiang Xuanran and Zhong Liangping, towards the first table.
Originally, Mr. Zhuge was still thinking of giving a hasty toast to all the guests, so he hurried back to the room to study the dragon stone jadeite.
But now that Zhong Liangping came, even he did not dare to refute his face and had to accompany him personally.
"Grandpa Zhuge, after all, Lu Yu is unknown in the capital, how can he be qualified to dine with people from the Ye family?" Shang Junhong gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time, but after all, he could not suppress his anger.
As soon as he said it, everyone was shocked.
Is Shang Junhong crazy? He dares to make a mistake in front of Zhongliang Ping?
Zhong Liangping, on the other hand, just glanced at Shang Junhong briefly, and then withdrew his gaze.
The four small families, in front of the Ye family, are nothing but worth mentioning.
If you say kill, you will kill.
Zhong Liangping's casual glance was like a startling glance, scaring Shang Junhong into shutting up instantly.
Mr. Zhuge frowned slightly, but with Zhong Liangping beside him at this time, he did not dare to make the decision without authorization.
Therefore, he raised his hands and looked at Zhong Liangping, saying: "Zhongxiao, what do you think?"
"Mr. Zhuge, Liangping is a guest, and guests do as they please." Zhong Liang smiled flatly.
The level of literacy can be judged at a glance.
This is why the Ye family can firmly sit at the top of Mount Tai.
This kind of quality that radiates from the inside out is beyond the reach of merchants, the Li family, and even the Zhuge family.
"Okay, please!" Mr. Zhuge sighed secretly, and then invited everyone to sit down.
Shang Junhong lowered his head silently, not daring to make any more mistakes.
If Zhong Liangping is made unhappy and just blows the whistle in front of the head of the Ye family, the merchants will not get any good results.
In the capital, the Ye family is heaven.
If the Ye family wants to deal with a certain family, they don't need to take action personally. They only need to say a word to isolate the family in an instant. No one dares to have any contact with them.
During the dinner, Zhong Liangping rarely spoke.
Others didn't even dare to take a breath, so they kept silent.
On the contrary, Mr. Zhuge kept talking and adjusting the atmosphere of everyone.
Zhong Liangping nodded from time to time and smiled, but he did not lose his courtesy.
However, as long as Zhong Liangping picked up the plate of food, no one dared to touch the chopsticks again, and his high status was self-evident.
"Don't be cautious, everyone. If this is the case, Liangping will be embarrassed to sit down again." Zhong Liangping said while looking at everyone.
Everyone responded with a smile, even big shots like Jason Li did not dare to show any slights.
However, no one dared to use chopsticks.
Zhong Liangping had no choice but to pick up the plate of vegetarian dishes in front of him and did not touch other dishes.
Mr. Zhuge felt a little embarrassed when he saw the atmosphere, and couldn't find any suitable topic for a while.
Lu Yu was also a little uncomfortable. He didn't like this kind of occasion, it was like torture.
Lu Yu raised his hand slightly and loosened his collar.
Suddenly, Mr. Zhuge's eyes lit up and he asked, "Little friend Lu Yu, this necklace on your neck is very nice. I wonder what material it is made of?"
Lu Yu knew that Mr. Zhuge had nothing to say, so he immediately smiled and said: "I don't know, it was my grandfather who left it behind."
"Oh, I see, it's just a necklace?" Mr. Zhuge followed Lu Yu's words.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, put down his chopsticks and said softly: "There is also a jade pendant."
Speaking of this, Lu Yu's mind was slightly moved. Mr. Zhuge was very knowledgeable and had extremely rich life experience. He might be able to recognize this jade pendant and answer his questions.
But at this time, the place is noisy and there are many people watching, so it is not suitable to take it out.
"Jade pendant? What kind of jade pendant?" Mr. Zhuge was moved when he heard this.
You must know that the quality of some ancient jade is unmatched by any jade in the world.
"I wonder if little friend Lu Yu can let me have a look?" Mr. Zhuge asked with a smile.
Lu Yu paused for a moment, then gently stretched out his hand and slowly pulled the necklace around his neck.
The eyes of the people at the table then fell on Lu Yu.
Even Zhong Liangping glanced at Lu Yu intentionally or unintentionally.
Mr. Zhuge has such a good attitude towards this young man, so this Lu Yu must be a bit unusual.
While Zhong Liangping was thinking this, he picked up the tea and took a sip, his attitude calm and elegant.
At this moment, a blue light flashed around Lu Yu's neck, and a blue pendant suddenly appeared in Zhong Liangping's eyes.
"puff!"
Zhong Liangping, who always maintained an elegant demeanor, was instantly shaken, and then he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of tea.
Mr. Zhuge and the others no longer cared about what Lu Yu had brought out, and quickly turned to look at Zhong Liangping.
"Zhongxiao, who are you?" Zhuge Jianyuan shouted in surprise.
"He, he, he, you, you, you..." Zhong Liangping's eyes widened, and he pointed at Lu Yu and trembled.
Then, Zhong Liangping's body was seen shaking continuously, and he immediately fell down and sat on the ground with a thud.
This scene shocked the whole audience instantly.
Why did Zhong Liangping, who had always been calm and unhurried, lose his composure?
Not to mention spewing out tea, you can't even sit on a chair?
