Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth good show on stage
The sun is bright and the breeze is caressing. Today's weather is very good. The sun is not very hot. The breeze blows on the face, which is very comfortable. The birds seem to have forgotten to forage, stopped their busy steps, and chirped happily on the trees.
Suddenly, a huge laugh broke the rare calm, scaring the birds on the trees to fly around and fly away from this place.
"Head of Nalan family, you are finally here. Go inside quickly. The banquet has been prepared. Today, we will take advantage of this good day to let us get drunk before we finish." At the gate, Xiao Zhan smiled and invited Nalan Jie and others to enter.
Nalan Jie laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "I am ashamed. It's really a sin to let Brother Xiao Zhan wait for you for a long time. Oh, by the way, this is Dan King Guhe, and this is the little granddaughter Yanran."
"Brother Xiao, we're meeting again." When Dan King Guhe, who was standing next to Nalan Jie, heard Nalan Jie's words, he quickly clasped his fists and spoke.
"Yeah" Xiao Zhan saw Yan Guhe, nodded, and led them inside.
When Xiao Zhan led Nalan Jie and Gu He into the Xiao family, Ye Yun had already found a good seat to watch the show, but he was not an important figure in the Xiao family, so he was not qualified to enter the hall. However, the hall was relatively large, and it was not like the play that there were only four or five tables, but more than ten or twenty tables. The location Ye Yun was looking for was a corner closer to the door.
Xiao Zhan knew that the Nalan family wanted to break the engagement, but he still insisted on holding this engagement banquet because he knew that his son Xiao Yan was not the source of a fighter. If there was no accident, he would have to live his life in his life in ordinary life. However, he was the eldest son of the Xiao family and was destined to be unable to live his entire life in ordinary life. Therefore, he decided to take a risk to bet that the Nalan family would still have to face and would not break the contract. In this way, once Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran get married, even if Xiao Yan is really just an ordinary person in the future, with Nalan Yanran behind his back, he could barely support the entire Xiao family.
Unfortunately, he lost the bet. Nalan Jie did not want his granddaughter Nalan Yanran to marry his son Xiao Yan, but wanted Nalan Yanran to marry a more powerful person, such as the disciple of Danwang Guhe.
After everyone sat down, the banquet began quickly. Xiao Zhan and Nalan Jie and others greeted each other, then recalled the past, praised each other for their past, and then slowly turned the topic to the younger generation, such as Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.
Perhaps because he felt that the time was almost done, Xiao Zhan smiled and said to Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yan, today is a great day for you to get engaged to Yanran. In the future, you should be a grandson-in-law, and you should be even more filial. Now you will be a cup of Grandpa Nalan."
Xiao Yan, who had already been a little impatient to wait, immediately smiled happily and picked up the wine glass on the table and stood up. He raised the wine glass and bent down to Nalan Jie and said respectfully: "Grandpa, I wish you this glass of wine."
According to etiquette, if Nalan Jie agreed to Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's marriage, he would take on the glass of wine. However, Nalan Jie was silent. He neither refused nor agreed. He just looked at Xiao Yan silently without saying anything.
Xiao Yan thought that his etiquette was not thoughtful enough, so he was stunned for a moment, walked out of the seat, bent down again and bowed and said, "Grandpa, I wish you this glass of wine."
Silence, the answer to Xiao Yan was still silent. At this time, Xiao Yan also understood that Nalan Jie probably did not want him to marry Nalan Yanran, but he still had a trace of fantasy, so he held the wine glass and walked to Nalan Jie's table step by step, bowed again, and said, "Grandpa, I toast you this glass of wine."
Xiao Yan had done this, and Nalan Jie couldn't be indifferent anymore, so he had to reach out and take the wine glass from Xiao Yan's hand, but after taking the wine glass, he did not drink the wine glass, but put it on the table and covered it with his hands.
Seeing this, Guhe, who was sitting in his seat and holding a folding fan, smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, it's not too late to wait until your grandfather finishes his words."
Ye Yun thought the line was a bit weird when he was watching TV, just like everyone called Nalan Jie Grandpa. Now when he saw the ready-made version, he felt much better after adding the word You. While Ye Yun was silently complaining, Nalan Jie spoke.
Nalan Jie sighed when he appeared in the world, and then he spoke, "The Nalan family has declined."
Xiao Zhan smiled and said with a smile: "Captain Nalan, you don't need to say such things. Today is a happy day, as long as we two families can unite..."
However, before Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nalan Jie and said, "Brother Xiao (Xiao), the Nalan family has declined. I am seventy-nine years old this year. Yanran's father has no talent to succeed. I only have such a granddaughter. She is still qualified to be successful. Seven years ago, all the elite fighters sent by the Nalan family did not come back. One of my sons has become disabled. The huge family looks like it, but it is actually just an empty shell. Thinking about the dangers that will be faced in the future, I can't sleep at night, Brother Xiao."
"The five major families must unite and protect themselves. There is no way to do so. My little granddaughter Yanran is the last hope of the Nalan family. He wants to find a better support. She cannot marry Xiao Yan."
As soon as Nalan Jie said this, he immediately discussed it. Seeing this, Nalan Jie raised his voice several times and said loudly: "I, Nalan family, will return the bride price of the Xiao family ten times. Today's banquet is not an engagement banquet, but an alliance banquet. From now on, every tree and tree of the Xiao family will be protected by the Nalan family. If anyone can't get along with the Xiao family, I, Nalan Jie, will be the first to not let him go."
There were a lot of discussions below, and Guhe was the first to speak up to support Nalan Jie and said, "The old man has a high position and a powerful position. It is rare to have such a responsibility to his friends."
Hearing Guhe speak to support him, Nalan Jie reached out and asked someone to take the engagement, and said, "This is a engagement. Give me some face. Please take it back by Brother Xiao."
As soon as Nalan Jie said this, the hall suddenly fell into silence, and no one spoke. At this moment, Nalan Yanran, who had been sitting quietly in her seat, finally spoke and said to Xiao Zhan: "Uncle Xiao, someone must take responsibility for refusing to marry. If it weren't for the sake of protecting the face of the Xiao family, my grandfather would have forced a break from the engagement."
Speaking of this, Nalan Yanran turned to look at Xiao Yan and said again: "Xiao Yan, I, Nalan Yanran, cancelled the marriage today. However, in order to protect the face of the Xiao family, we can make a three-year agreement. In three years, you can come to Yunlan Sect to challenge me. If you win, I, Nalan Yanran, was originally a slave, but if you lose, you will not mention this engagement again."
