The corners of Tang Ji's mouth twitched. Do people nowadays have to use a prefix when introducing themselves? The key point is that this guy still wears such a shameless prefix and dares to call Ning Guo's most beautiful man. Did he, the protagonist, agree?
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Ye Xiao.
I have to admit, this guy is indeed quite handsome, but he is a bit worse than me!
Then, Tang Ji turned his head, only to find that Jiu'er, who was still feasting just now, had put down his bowl and chopsticks at some point, sat demurely on a chair, stared at Ye Xiao beside him with bright eyes, and said to her angrily.
: "My saliva is almost dripping on the table."
This was the first time Su Qing saw the head of the Ye family. He was indeed as handsome and charming as the rumors outside said. He put away his thoughts, cupped his hands and replied: "It turns out to be the head of the Ye family."
Hearing this, Tang Ji noticed the other party's name and immediately turned his head: "Are you the head of the Ye family?"
Ye Xiao's attention was completely on the pig's trotters at this time. It could be seen that Sun Yufu was staring at him a little unkindly, but he was not able to move his chopsticks, so he had to reply first: "It's you, I don't know what you call them?"
Immediately, everyone present except Sun Yufu introduced themselves.
After Ye Xiao heard Tang Ji's name, the pair of eyes under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows blinked slightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Are you Tang Ji? The shopkeeper of Ji Ran Bookstore?"
"Am I already so famous?" Tang Ji smiled and touched his head.
Ye Xiao nodded slightly: "A long time ago, I accidentally saw "Journey to the West" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so I asked someone to inquire about it. Only then did I know the name of Brother Tang. I didn't expect to meet him today. I didn't know Brother Tang.
Can you introduce Mr. Jin Yong to Ye? Ye loves the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms written in his book very much and wants him to give some advice?"
Hearing this, Su Qing also set her sights on Tang Ji.
Tang Ji helplessly slapped his forehead and replied: "The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon are just fictitious martial arts. Just read the novel for fun. Don't take it seriously and don't imitate it."
"I see, Ye knows." Ye Xiao replied, without continuing the topic, and raised his eyes to look at the pig's trotters again.
This time, Jiu'er noticed his gaze, suddenly understood, and immediately handed the plate of stewed pig's trotters in front of Sun Yufu to him, and said with a sweet smile: "Master Ye, please use it."
"Thank you, girl." Ye Xiao smiled faintly at her and quickly reached out to take the plate.
Tang Ji noticed that Sun Yufu's face had darkened. He chuckled, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Sun, do you feel that the vegetables you have been growing for a long time have been picked by others?"
Sun Yufu snorted softly and slapped the wine glass on the table: "Whoever dares to pick the old man's food will be attacked by the old man!"
After saying that, he glared at Ye Xiao, but the latter didn't take him seriously at all. Instead, he picked a meaty pig's trotter and started chewing it.
.......
After a long time, Ye Xiao spit out the bones in his mouth on the table, with a look of satisfaction on his face. He was about to wipe off the soup from his fingers, but found Jiu'er staring at him, coughed twice, and took out the handkerchief without losing grace.
He wiped his mouth and hands and said with a smile: "I've eaten."
Tang Ji had already finished his meal and was chatting with Su Qing and Shangguan Ming. When he heard Ye Xiao's words, he picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water. He looked around and said, "Aren't you here already? Why haven't they come yet?
Eat, the food is cold."
Ye Xiao took the tea cup and looked suspicious: "What does it have to do with me?"
At this moment, Ye Hongling walked in from outside the stone arch door and found that everyone present had not started eating. He was also a little puzzled. He was about to ask, but someone beat him to it.
"Steward Ye, where is the head of the Ye family?" a man wearing gray linen asked.
Ye Hongling raised his eyebrows slightly: "The head of the family should be in the main courtyard, what's wrong?"
The man in gray clothes shook his head. Could it be that the head of the Ye family refused to show up for a long time because he wanted to starve them to death? But this was the Ye family's territory after all, and he didn't have much to say. With an idea, he turned around and pointed.
Looking at the empty table in the corner: "Steward Ye, those people started using chopsticks before the Ye family master came over. They are obviously here to cause trouble. You'd better take someone to drive them out!"
Ye Hongling touched the back of his head. Who said that the owner of the house is not allowed to use chopsticks until he comes?
Looking in the direction of the other person's finger, his eyes were instantly locked on Ye Xiao, and he quickly walked over without replying.
Seeing this, everyone present started talking again.
"Those people didn't run away after eating, but still dared to sit there and brag and chat. They were too courageous!"
"The Ye family, a well-known family, shouldn't care about a few people who are just eating and drinking. I just don't understand. These young men and girls are so good-looking, why don't they find something serious to do?"
"I'm just concerned about when we can eat. I'm almost starving to death. Drive these people away and hurry up to urge the head of the Ye family to come over."
"..."
Just when everyone was discussing how the Ye family would deal with these people, they saw Ye Hongling bowing to the white-robed young man.
"Master of the house."
Ye Xiao nodded slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and asked: "What's going on? Why don't they eat?"
In an instant, these knights and knights froze on the spot, staring at each other with big eyes. The head of the Ye family came very early, and one person immediately made a voice of dissatisfaction: "Master Ye, since you are here, why don't you identify yourself?
Isn’t it a trick on us to make us wait for so long?”
Ye Hongling's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I have already said hello before. After you have obtained the martial arts qualifications, you can go directly to the east and west courtyards to attend the luncheon. The knights in the east courtyard have already finished eating. You guys
Why has there been no movement from Bian?"
"No...didn't you say that we have to wait until the head of the Ye family arrives before the banquet can begin?" Someone asked doubtfully.
Ye Hongling shook his head: "Ye Mansion has not set this rule."
Hearing this, the entire side courtyard became chaotic.
"Damn it, who is it that said he can't eat without the Master of the Ye family? Come forward and see if I don't beat him to death!"
"Li San told me!"
"Hey, hey, I heard what Fatty Lu said."
"Why is the blame on me again? It was obviously Chen Ermazi who said it."
"..."
Hearing such a noisy noise, Ye Xiao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ling!"
Ye Hongling immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Everyone who comes today is a guest. Don't hurt the peace. We will participate in a fight in the afternoon. Let's eat first!"
Just like that, the courtyard finally became quiet, and everyone stopped being ink, holding their rice bowls and wolfing down the food.
Ye Hongling reminded Ye Xiao in a low voice: "Master, you have to prepare for the fight."
"Yes." Ye Xiao responded casually, then slowly stood up, raised his hands to Tang Ji and Su Qing and said, "Brother Tang, Brother Su, I still have something to do. I'll see you after I'm done."
Tang Ji and Su Qing raised their hands and returned the salute.
"Uncle Ling, they are my friends, please arrange it yourself." Ye Xiao said a word, then turned and walked towards the stone arch door.
"Yes!" Ye Hongling bowed and saluted again, and then smiled at Tang Ji and others: "I didn't expect you to know the head of the family. If I had known this, I should have greeted you personally. Seeing as how many of you have finished eating, how about we go to Wuhan?"
A fighting arena, right?”
Tang Ji did not refuse, stood up and said: "Then let's go!"
