Although Qingyunting is far less powerful than Lingxiao Pavilion, and is not that big in Jiang Wang's eyes, it is after all one of the best sects in Shun'an Mansion, and cannot be compared with the Xiyun Sword Sect.
In order to congratulate Weininghou on his birthday this time, Qingyunting also put a lot of thought into it.
Just the burden of picking out gifts formed a long queue.
The leader of the team is an old man with a short beard who is about sixty years old. He is accompanied by a young man with a slightly sinister face. He seems to be very close, either a master and a disciple, or a father and son.
The rest were servants and attendants, looking very grand.
The short-bearded old man walked directly to the Hou Mansion as a matter of course. A sect as powerful as Qingyunting did not have to queue outside the Hou Mansion.
"Um?"
The steward of the Jiao family, who had been waiting outside the gate of the Hou Mansion to welcome him, suddenly took a step sideways and blocked the way.
The short-bearded old man smiled and cupped his hands: "Brother Jiao, it's been a long time since I sent you my regards!"
The steward had an expressionless face: "What are you doing?"
The short-bearded old man's smile froze, but he still managed to answer: "Feng Yue would like to come here on behalf of Qingyunting to congratulate the Marquis on his birthday!"
The steward of the Hou Mansion raised his chin at the long queue outside the mansion: "There are so many people here to celebrate Mr. Hou's birthday. They are all queuing up. Why don't you line up?"
"Brother Jiao." Feng Yue smiled and handed over a storage box under the cover of his body: "But what is there to offend Feng? Please tell me clearly."
The steward of the Hou Mansion took a step back, leaving the storage box naked in front of everyone's sight, and said in a cold voice: "Our Lord, the Marquis, manages the family as well as the army. Mr. Feng, what do you mean?"
The young man who had been silent suddenly raised his head and gave him a cold look.
Seeing this sinister look, the steward of the Hou Mansion, who was not very advanced, couldn't help but take a step back, and immediately got angry: "What are you looking at!"
Feng Yue turned around and slapped him: "Lower your head! Close your eyes!"
As expected, the young man at Qingyunting closed his eyes and lowered his head.
Feng Yue then turned back and said with an apologetic smile to the steward of the Hou Mansion: "Young people are not sensible, please forgive me. We are going to line up over there, right?"
The steward of the Hou Mansion said coldly: "You can go back if you don't want to queue up. Weining Hou Mansion is not lacking in this kind of thoughtfulness."
"What needs to be arranged, what needs to be arranged." Feng Yue still smiled, not taking this embarrassment seriously: "Of course there is no shortage in Weining Houfu, but Qingyunting's wishes cannot be ignored."
He waved his hand back and said, "Take someone to line up."
The young man who had just been slapped didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the back of the team.
"I made you laugh." Feng Yue saluted the steward of the Hou Mansion again, and then stepped back respectfully.
Jiang Wang glanced at it for a few moments and then turned back, acting as if the matter had nothing to do with him. This sinister young man obviously didn't have a very broad mind. If he was thought to be watching their Qingyunting joke, it would inevitably lead to a bad future.
But these two people were remembered in my heart.
He had actually expected Qingyunting's setback in front of the Weining Houfu.
Jiao Xiong, whom he killed with a sword in Chiyun Mountain before, also happened to be named Jiao.
Jiao Xiong, who had opened the three palaces but had not yet obtained supernatural powers, was said to be ranked among the top fifteen among the younger generation of Yong people.
Of course, this ranking may not be reliable. Because Qingyunting's Chi Yue is obviously stronger than Jiao Xiong, but I haven't heard of any ranking.
However, Chi Yue, who is more powerful, still has to flatter Jiao Xiong. From this, it can be seen that the Jiao family should be quite powerful in the Yong Kingdom. Jiang Wang easily found out Jiao Xiong's origin, and he happened to be the Weining Marquis of the Yong Kingdom.
's direct grandson.
Only the Jiao family, where Weining Hou Jiao Wu sits, is worthy of Qingyunting's every possible favor.
Among the many descendants of Jiao Wu, Jiao Xiong, who opened the three palaces at a young age, was the most promising one. However, he died in Chiyun Mountain.
Weining Houfu's dissatisfaction with Qingyunting can be imagined.
Of course, Jiang Wang, an outsider, could have thought of this, and the people in Qingyunting would not have thought of it either. Or maybe Feng Yue came here in person just to be "humiliated" and to let Weining Houfu vent his anger, so as to avoid
You will pay a higher price in the future.
The long queue finally ended before dusk, and more than half of the people left after giving birthday gifts, without even being qualified to sit down.
Jiang Wang's current identity is that he is also an extraordinary monk. He also came to establish friendship with Xiyun Sword Sect in his early years, so he was invited into the Marquis's residence and sat in a seat - of course, it was only the outermost table.
The people responsible for greeting them are a few stewards. The real Jiao family will not show up. Even the stewards don't care much.
Jiang Wang randomly found a place with few people and sat down. No one knew him, and he didn't need to know anyone else.
Not long after, Feng Yue and the sinister young man also walked into the outer courtyard under the guidance of the servants of the Hou Mansion.
Manager Jiao, who had previously been talking to Feng Yue outside the palace gate, was now standing at the gate of the courtyard, arranging the reception and delivery. He, Jiao Fu, ranked second among the stewards of the Weining Marquis Mansion, and could handle matters on behalf of the Jiao Mansion.
A lot of business.
Therefore, Feng Yue of Qingyunting had to call him Brother Jiao, and he had the confidence to speak politely to Feng Yue.
A first-class sect in the Shun'an Prefecture like Qingyunting should be welcomed into the inner courtyard even if the Weining Hou family intends to neglect them.
But at this moment, Guanshi Jiao glanced at them, and a feeling of annoyance suddenly arose in his heart.
The master has already told people from Qingyunting that if they come, they don’t need to show any favors. He can control the scale himself. Previously, outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, Qingyunting was forced to line up with those nameless little people.
A kind of beating.
Normally, this is enough. How much more depends on the master's decision. But that ungrateful young man from Qingyunting actually dared to glare at him.
Do they think that a mere Qingyunting can shake the Weining Houfu? They have not yet made up for the mistakes they made, so they dare to feel resentful towards the attitude of the Weining Houfu?
"You guys." Manager Jiao was annoyed and pointed his finger: "Sit over there!"
The direction of the finger was exactly the table where Jiang Wang was sitting.
The reason why there are so few people is precisely because no one wants to sit. In the entire courtyard, the position near the door is the one that receives the least attention. Generally speaking, it is also where the guests with the lowest status sit.
Among the many choices at this moment, he chose the one that was more embarrassing to Qingyunting.
The sinister-faced young man from Qingyunting was furious and took a step forward, but was held down by Feng Yue.
In this situation, Feng Yue still had a smile on his face.
"Feng Ming, sit down," he said.
The young man named Feng Ming gritted his teeth, walked over without saying a word, and sat down heavily next to Jiang Wang. The round stool creaked with embarrassment, making one feel his humiliation.
Feng Yue himself raised his hand to Steward Jiao and said with a smile: "The guest does as he pleases, then Feng will be a nuisance."
I don’t know, I’m afraid I thought he was enjoying some kind of VIP treatment.
Manager Jiao replied with a smile: "That's easy to say."
"Brother Jiao." Feng Yue looked around, then walked forward affectionately: "The Hou family has a very high family status, Feng is not familiar with etiquette, and I need to ask some questions. Is it convenient?"
Jiao Fu looked at him, but he didn't think so. He didn't say no, turned around and walked away.
Feng Yue gave Feng Ming a warning look and followed behind.
Jiang Wang sat casually and nodded to his new neighbor, but only received an indifferent glance from Feng Ming.
He just smiled and didn't mind at all.
The plan is progressing in an orderly manner and everything is under control.
