Chapter 1748 The Banquet of the Carved Dragon Pavilion!
The dinner was held at Diaolong Pavilion.
The Diaolong Pavilion can be said to be a very high-standard pavilion for welcoming guests and hosting banquets in the Huangfu family. The entire pavilion is antique, with carved beams and painted pillars, and the nine-clawed golden dragon embossed in relief is lifelike. It looks majestic and has a vague imperial aura.
At about 7:50 in the evening, Huangfu Qingyun brought Xiao Yunlong and Huangfu Ruolan to the Diaolong Pavilion. The wine tables in the attic had been set up. There were three wine tables. When they came over, they saw some people taking their seats first. Basically
They were some young people, and they were sitting not at the main table, but at the tables on both sides next to the main table.
Seeing Huangfu Qingyun approaching, these young people stood up one after another and greeted Huangfu Qingyun respectfully.
These young people are the best of this generation in the Huangfu family, and they have all been invited to come to the wine table for a dinner.
"Sister Lan."
On the table on the right, a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes smiled and said hello after seeing Huangfu Ruolan.
Huangfu Ruolan looked over, with a surprised look on his face, and immediately said: "Qiongqiong? You're back too. Aren't you very busy in the northwest region? I remember that you rarely came back once a year."
This young man's name is Huangfu Cangqiong. He is a disciple of the third elder of the Huangfu family. His ability is extremely outstanding among the disciples of this generation of the Huangfu family. The industry in the northwest region that he is responsible for has always been prosperous.
It is a pity that his father died young, and the influence of the Third Elder faction in the Huangfu family is limited. Otherwise, with Huangfu Cangqiong's outstanding ability, he would have a lot of capital to compete for the next position.
The throne of the head of the household.
In the current Huangfu family, the most powerful ones are the lineage of the family head, the lineage of the great elder, and the lineage of the ancestors.
"Sister Lan, there are some issues in the northwest region that need to be dealt with back here, so I'm back." Huangfu Cangqiong said.
"I see. It's rare for you to come back. If you come back this time, you can stay a few more days." Huangfu Ruolan smiled.
Huangfu Cangqiong nodded. He turned to look at Xiao Yunlong beside him, nodded and smiled.
Xiao Yunlong was also sizing up Huangfu Cangqiong. He could see that Huangfu Cangqiong had a calm and indifferent aura. He lacked the impetuousness and arrogance of a young master from an aristocratic family, and had more of a sophisticated, calm and restrained attitude that he had gained through experience.
Although he was born in a top family, he could still have such magnanimity. It can be said that Huangfu Cangqiong is extremely extraordinary.
Such people are often like dragons in the shallows. As long as they have the chance, they will definitely soar into the sky.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the attic, and everyone in the venue turned around to look, and saw Huangfu Xiongtu, the head of the Huangfu family, and others walking in.
Huangfu Xiongtu strode towards him, flanked by the great elder Huangfu Yinghai and the other three elders.
There were two young men following behind. One of them was as handsome as a crown jewel, but there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.
This is of course Huangfu Junlin.
The young man next to Huangfu Junlin looks a little older and has a sense of maturity. He is not as handsome as Huangfu Junlin, and his face does not look outstanding. His appearance is somewhat similar to Huangfu Yinghai.
It gives people a vague feeling of gloom.
This young man is the grandson of Huangfu Yinghai, named Huangfu Xuanyi. It seems that he is also a strong contender to be the next head of the family.
After all, the power of the Great Elder's lineage is still deeply rooted in the Huangfu family.
"I met the head of the family, the great elder..."
Some young people in the attic greeted Huangfu Xiongtu and others after seeing them approaching.
Huangfu Ruolan also said: "The head of the family, the first elder, the second elder, the third elder..."
Huangfu Xiongtu chuckled and said: "Ruolan, originally I was worried that you would be exhausted if you went to Jianghai City alone to support the family's business. But now that you look so good, I feel relieved.
Come on. Come on, everyone, take your seats. Tonight is to welcome Ruolan home to wash away her dust, and secondly, it is also a gathering of the young talents of our Huangfu family to raise a toast and drink together."
Everyone took their seats one after another. An ancient family like the Huangfu family naturally has hierarchical family rules, so Huangfu Ruolan and Xiao Yunlong were going to sit down at Huangfu Cangqiong's table.
Huangfu Xiongtu said with a smile: "Ruolan, just sit here. As for Young Master Xiao, who is a guest from afar, let's sit down together."
Huangfu Ruolan's face was startled, and she glanced at her father.
Huangfu Qingyun smiled indifferently and said: "Ruolan, Yunlong, since the master of the house asked you to sit together, then sit down. Come and sit here with me."
Huangfu Ruolan nodded, pulled Xiao Yunlong to Huangfu Qingyun's side and sat down.
Two young men, Huangfu Junlin and Huangfu Xuanyi, were also sitting at the main table.
"Cousin, long time no see." Huangfu Junlin smiled and said.
"It won't take long, just half a year." Huangfu Ruolan said.
Huangfu Xuanyi looked at Huangfu Ruolan, and he said with a half-smile: "I heard that Ruolan you have developed the Jindi Group very well in Jianghai City, and the achievements reported to the family are very beautiful. If you are a man,
With such ability, the Huangfu family is even more prosperous."
"My cousin is joking. Although I am born a girl, I am also a member of the Huangfu family. Could it be that because I am born a girl, I cannot bring some benefits to the Huangfu family?" Huangfu Ruolan said.
"Ruolan's words do make some sense." Huangfu Xuanyi spoke. He looked at Xiao Yunlong intentionally or unintentionally and said, "Is this the young master of the Xiao family? The last time young master Xiao came to visit, I couldn't meet him while I was away.
, I did hear about Young Master Xiao’s name after I came back. I’m really lucky to see you tonight. With Young Master Xiao in Jianghai City to help you, Ruolan, there will be no problem with your development.”
Xiao Yunlong smiled and said: "You are joking. My Xiao family is a martial arts family and is not involved in business. I really can't get involved in the Jindi Group that Ruolan manages in Jianghai City, let alone provide anything.
Help. Ruolan is able to manage the Jindi Group in an orderly manner, which is the result of her hard work. I don’t dare to take credit for nothing."
"Young Master Xiao, there is no need to be self-effacing. Young Master Xiao is young, promising, and unparalleled in bravery. He is a leader among the younger generation. Every disciple of the Huangfu family here should learn more from Young Master Xiao." At this time, the Great Elder Huangfu said
Yinghai spoke.
Xiao Yunlong laughed and said: "The eldest elder is flattering me. There are many young talents in the Huangfu family. I am just the young master of a mere family. How dare I ask so many young talents here to learn from me? No.
To tell you the truth from the elder, I feel like I am just a rough guy, and besides being able to fight, I really don’t have anything else I’m good at.”
Xiao Yunlong's words were very direct. The implication of being good at fighting was that he was better at martial arts, and this could just touch Huangfu Xiongtu's sore spot.
By this time, the dishes had been served one after another.
Huangfu Xiongtu said in a deep voice before the dinner started: "Before the dinner, let me say the next thing. The triennial ancient martial arts conference is about to begin. By then, there will be major hidden ancient martial arts families and hidden sects in front of them.
Come to participate, and there will also be young heroes from major families and sects. I hope that in such an ancient martial arts conference, the disciples of my Huangfu family can fight brilliantly and achieve good results. Results in the ancient martial arts conference
It will be recorded in the assessment of personal performance. For the honor of the Huangfu family, all young disciples must pay attention to it."
As soon as this statement came out, some young disciples were already discussing among themselves in whispers.
Xiao Yunlong's expression was a little strange. This was clearly a matter of the Huangfu family. He didn't know why Huangfu Xiongtu announced this matter in front of him.
Xiao Yunlong didn't think much about it, he would just wait and see what happened.
