Chapter 715 Banquet(3/3)
"Be polite when walking, sitting, lying down, eating and drinking."
"Didn't you say that you started learning at the age of three? How come some people are over two hundred years old and haven't learned it yet?"
Mo Hua whispered again, "Look, you haven't learned it well yourself, and you still want to teach others..."
The female elder wiped her face with "white" powder, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and her facial features began to become distorted.
After a long time, she suppressed the anger in her heart and gritted her teeth and said:
"You have no respect for your elders! The Gu family is really...all kinds of brats can serve on the table...Who are your parents? What are their identities?"
"If you don't reveal your background, the Shangguan family, including the Shen family, will not let you go!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone frowned.
After all, she was born in the wealthy Shen family, and now she married into the Shangguan family and became an elder. How could she be so narrow-minded and lackadaisical? She couldn't get along with a child, and even threatened him in public...
Then everyone looked at Mo Hua again, looking a little worried.
Several elders from the Gu family who knew Mo Hua stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Children, childish words are unbridled, why should you get angry..."
Elder Gu Hong also said perfunctorily:
"The New Year is approaching, so it's not appropriate to get angry. After all, it's a family dinner, so it's better to have a good time. I will talk about this kid later..."
The female elder held on and sneered:
"This kid isn't from your Gu family, is he?"
All the elders were startled and looked at each other.
Of course Mo Hua is not a member of the Gu family.
In this case, they naturally cannot lie.
The female elder said coldly: "Then why did this brat attend your Gu family's family banquet and dare to speak rudely to me? You Gu family, you'd better give me an explanation!"
This is hard to hear.
The Gu family elders all looked unhappy.
I advised you before to save face for the Shen family and the Shangguan family.
It is better to do less than to do more.
But being so ignorant and arrogant means that you don't take the Gu family seriously.
Although the Gu family is not as good as the Shen family, it is not an ordinary small family. How can it be so easy to be manipulated?
When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Mo Hua took out a wooden box, slowly placed it on the table, and said crisply:
"I'm here to give you a gift!"
The female elder glanced down and saw that there was only a simple picture of calligraphy placed in the wooden box of the ink painting. It was ordinary, unframed, and had no luxurious atmosphere, so she sneered:
"I don't have any potential, so I can give away all kinds of broken calligraphy and paintings, and I don't feel ashamed..."
The expression on the face of an old Shangguan elder next to her changed drastically, and he immediately scolded her:
"Shut up!"
On the high platform, the heads of the Shangguan family and the Gu family also slowly stood up.
The female elder looked confused and didn't know why.
An elder of the Shangguan family frowned and glanced at the words, his eyes gradually became incredulous. Then he looked at Mo Hua, his tone unconsciously showed a lot of respect, "Little brother, this word is..."
Mo Hua said: "It was Mr. Xun who asked me to deliver it!"
Mr. Xun?
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Then a few very senior elders trembled in their hearts and whispered: "Ancestor Xun from the Taixu Sect."
"This calligraphy is... the handwriting of our ancestor."
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a deep breath, and when they looked at the ink painting again, their eyes were full of disbelief.
The ancestor of Taixu Sect actually asked this young monk to give gifts?
How could this little monk be so virtuous...that he could actually give gifts on behalf of his ancestor?
What is his relationship with Patriarch Xun of Taixu Sect?
All the monks were shocked.
Wen Renwan next to Mo Hua was a little stunned.
She was also afraid that he would be bullied in the sect, but somehow, even the ancestor supported the child...
Gu Changhuai was even more distracted.
He knew that Mo Hua could do well in Taixu Sect, but he never expected that he could do so well.
The old Mr. Xun who Mo Hua said taught him the formation turned out to be the ancestor of Dongxu...
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and there was total silence.
At this moment, the figures flashed and Shangguan Ce and Gu Shouyan had arrived beside Mo Hua and looked at the words in the box:
Deep blessings.
The two of them looked stunned and slightly frightened.
"A deep blessing?"
"Why did Patriarch Xun of the Taixu Sect inscribe these four characters? What is the profound meaning?"
The two of them had a lot of thoughts at the moment, but their faces were as calm as water, and they didn't show it or ask any questions.
Gu Shouyan bowed to the calligraphy and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, senior, for the calligraphy."
Then he looked at Mo Hua, with a slight smile on his stern face, "Put it away, the child is growing, so eat more."
Mo Hua was slightly startled, then with a smile in his eyes, he said politely:
"Thank you, Master!"
After that, neither Shangguan Ce nor Gu Shouyan said anything.
The banquet was also held as normal.
But when the food was served, Gu Shouyan ordered:
"Add a seat."
Everyone looked a little weird, but they took it for granted.
So while we were seated, we temporarily added an extra seat.
This is respect for Mr. Xun.
However, after all, the ancestor is not here in person, so he will not be the first in the queue.
Therefore, this seat is second only to the two family heads, but above the ordinary seats, it is considered an "upper seat".
Gu Shouyan said: "Little brother, please."
Mo Hua's eyes were filled with joy, and he tugged on Wen Renwan's sleeve, "Aunt Wan."
Wenren Wan was startled for a moment, then stood up somewhat cautiously.
Mo Hua took Yu'er's little hand again, and the three of them walked to the high platform in a grand manner and sat down at the "upper seat" table.
Take your seat.
This is Mr. Xun’s noodles.
Mo Hua knew that he was taking advantage of Mr. Xun by pretending to be powerful.
However, since Old Mr.
The spiritual meal at the top is better than the one at the bottom.
And now no one dared to care about him. Mo Hua could eat whatever he wanted.
With Mo Hua's "indulgence", Yu'er's originally frightened eyes gradually became radiant, and her expression no longer timid, and she followed Mo Hua to eat and drink with confidence.
Wen Renwan looked at the two children with eyes that were both pleased and grateful.
The previous arrogant and domineering female elder in green is now seated under the ink painting.
She could only look at the ink paintings, sitting on the position above her head, as if no one else was around, eating and drinking, her whole body shaking with anger, her face distorted, and the makeup on her face fell down...
