Chapter 158, Hua Dalang's Engagement Banquet
Chapter 158, Hua Dalang's Engagement Banquet (Part )
"Is this the Hua family?"
"This yard is too small. It doesn't look like a place to entertain guests. There's not even a place to step. This is the first time I've seen such a shabby engagement party."
"How could Sister Yuntang get engaged to such a family? The Hua family's courtyard is not even as big as the courtyard where our servants live."
Hearing the words of disgust, Hua Changxi put down the kitchen knife in her hand, walked to the kitchen door and looked out, only to see her father and eldest brother leading in more than ten people.
The people who came were members of the Sheng family, led by Sheng Yuntang's third uncle Sheng Xuan, and the others were the younger generation of the Sheng family.
After entering the Hua family's yard, Sheng Xuan was fine and was still talking and laughing with Hua Minghe, but the younger generation of the Sheng family could not hide their disgust after seeing the crowded Hua family's yard.
Hua Dalang looked a little embarrassed when he heard the discussions of the younger generation of the Sheng family. Fortunately, his future uncle-in-law Sheng Pengye was a good man. He helped him out with a smile and warned the other members of the Sheng family with his eyes.
"Sixth brother, why are you standing in front of me?"
Hua Changxi was looking at the Sheng family when Hua Liulang came over and stood in front of her.
Hua Liulang's face was not very good: "Did you hear what the Sheng family said?"
Hua Changxi said "hmm".
Hua Liulang said angrily, "I am so angry. Our family and the Sheng family are in-laws after all. How can their family say this about our family?" Then he looked at Hua Changxi and said, "Jiu Niang, you must be so angry too, right?"
Hua Changxi: "I'm fine."
Hua Liulang had a look of disbelief on his face: "Jiu Niang, you don't have to hide in front of me. I'm so angry. How could I bear your violent temper? Otherwise, Dad wouldn't let me come to watch you, for fear that you couldn't help it and quarreled with the Sheng family. At that time, it would be very difficult for Big Brother to do anything."
Hua Changxi rolled his eyes when he heard this: "I'm not the one disliked by the Sheng family, and I'm not the one who will have to deal with the Sheng family in the future, so why should I waste my energy getting angry?"
Hearing this, Hua Liulang looked at Hua Changxi in astonishment, with a somewhat confused expression.
Hua Changxi saw this and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Hua Liulang: "Jiu Niang, that's my eldest brother, why do you act like it's none of your business?"
Hua Changxi: "This matter really has nothing to do with me. It was my eldest brother who wanted to find a marriage that was much more disparate from ours. The Sheng family's disdain is the price he has to pay for marrying above his station."
"What we heard today is just some gossip. After getting married, Big Brother will be compared with the younger generation of the Sheng family in all aspects. That's when he will really have a headache."
After hearing this, Hua Liulang looked at Hua Dalang, who was introducing the Hua family monks to the Sheng family, and said with concern: "If that's the case, we have to help big brother."
Hua Changxi glanced at him and said, "Sixth brother, I told you that being rejected by the Sheng family is the price that Big Brother has to pay for marrying above his station. If you help him, you are transferring the price he has to pay to yourself. Are you sure you want to live your life shouldering other people's responsibilities?"
Hua Liulang scratched his head: "But that's my eldest brother."
Hua Changxi was silent and didn't respond.
Hua Liulang didn't know what to say for a moment, and just when he saw Hua Sanlang asking for help, he quickly walked over.
Hua Changxi was still watching the Sheng family. Except for the third uncle of the Sheng family who was led into the main hall by Hua Minghe, the younger generations of the Sheng family were all in the yard.
When the Sheng family came to the Hua family, they should have gotten to know the Hua family well. However, at this moment, the Sheng family was chatting enthusiastically with Hua Hongqi, Hua Shuran and others, and the Hua family was somewhat left aside.
Hua Changxi shook her head. If the Sheng family really behaved like they did today, she could imagine that if her eldest brother did not have a bright future, he would definitely be despised in the Yue family.
Too lazy to look any further, Hua Changxi turned and went into the kitchen, sat behind the stove and lit the fire.
A quarter of an hour later, noise and screams were heard in the yard.
After hearing this, Hua Changxi quickly stretched his neck to look outside. When he saw what was happening, his expression suddenly changed.
Two monsters suddenly appeared in the Hua family's yard, a majestic silver wolf and a powerful and swift fire eagle.
As soon as the two monsters met, they started fighting immediately.
"Come on, Silver Wolf. If you beat the Golden Eagle, we'll give you a treat when we get back."
"Come on, Fire Eagle. If you can defeat the wolf, I'll make some pills for you when I get back."
After the two monsters started fighting, the Hua family yard was in chaos, with tables and chairs falling all over the floor. At this time, some Hua family monks and Sheng family members were still cheering for the two monsters. When Mr. Hua and others in the main hall heard the noise, they all came out. Seeing the chaotic yard, Mr. Hua's face turned pale.
"Hey~"
"Hey~"
Two flames shot out and hit the hearts of the Silver Wolf and the Fire Eagle. In an instant, the two monsters that were fighting each other the moment before fell to the ground with a bang.
"Silver Wolf!"
"Fire sculpture!"
A cultivator from the Hua family and a cultivator from the Sheng family each rushed out and pounced on the fallen monster.
Just as the two men touched the bodies of the monsters, the two monsters suddenly caught fire, scaring the two men so much that they quickly stepped back.
After a few breaths, only two piles of ashes were left on the ground.
Then, a spiritual power spread in the Hua family's yard. The tables and chairs that were originally scattered everywhere were straightened and put back to their original places. In a moment, the messy yard became tidy and clean again.
Hua Changxi walked out of the kitchen and went straight to the two monks who released the monsters: "You two, get out!"
One of these two people is Hua Hongguang, the eldest grandson of the second branch of the Hua family; the other is Sheng Pengfei, the only legitimate son of Uncle Sheng San.
Hua Dalang didn't want to make things too awkward, so he couldn't help but say, "Nine"
As soon as he spoke, Hua Changxi looked at Hua Dalang coldly, and his cold gaze made Hua Dalang swallow the words in his mouth.
Hua Changxi retracted his gaze and looked at Hua Hongguang and Sheng Pengfei again: "You should be thankful that today is my eldest brother's wedding day, otherwise, just because you two came to my house to release monsters, I would have to throw you into the monster cave."
"Get lost. From now on, the two of you are not allowed to set foot in my Hua family again."
Hua Hongguang received the signal from Hua Hongqi's eyes, looked at the demon pet that was only a pool of ashes, swallowed his anger, lowered his head and said nothing.
Sheng Pengfei didn't have so many scruples. He pointed at Hua Changxi angrily and said, "It was you who killed my fire eagle?"
Hua Changxi looked at him pointing at his arm, and spiritual pressure suddenly pressed over.
The moment the spiritual pressure came, Sheng Pengfei felt as if he had a huge mountain on his shoulders, pressing his legs so hard that he trembled and couldn't help wanting to kneel down.
The young lady who killed his fire eagle was standing in front of him, and his kneeling was equivalent to kneeling to her.
How could Sheng Pengfei allow himself to kneel down to a young lady? His face turned red and veins popped out, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Uncle Sheng was so anxious when he saw his son being forced to kneel down that he grabbed Hua Dalang and said, "Dalang, Pengfei didn't mean to do that. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Hua Dalang quickly grabbed Hua Changxi and said, "Nine Lady, that's enough."
Hua Changxi glanced at the anxious Hua Dalang, hesitated for a moment, and retracted his spiritual pressure, but said to Sheng Pengfei in a cold voice: "You are just a cultivator who has just entered the Qi Sea Realm. It is better not to be so arrogant outside."
Sheng Pengfei wanted to vomit blood, and looked at Hua Changxi sarcastically: "I am arrogant? Compared to you, even ten of me can't catch up."
Hua Changxi sneered: "You really can't catch up." As he said that, he waved his hand, and Hua Hongguang and Sheng Pengfei were thrown out of the Hua family yard.
When Hua Dalang saw this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Hua Changxi looked over and said, "Brother, are you sure you want to break your spine for a marriage?"
Although Uncle Sheng was angry at Hua Changxi for not giving face to the Sheng family, when he saw Hua Dalang's face change and Hua Hongqi's dissatisfaction, he quickly said, "Pengfei is being rude." As he said that, he bowed to Old Man Hua.
"Old man, I didn't discipline my son well. I apologize to you on his behalf."
If it were any other day, Grandpa Hua would definitely expose the matter right away, but this time, he looked at Hua Changxi for the first time, as if waiting for her to make a decision.
Seeing that the old man was silent, Hua Minghe stepped forward to help Uncle Sheng up and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan, you are too kind. My Jiu Niang is just like this. She likes to take everything seriously. You will understand it after you get to know her more in the future."
"Okay, it's alright, everyone do what you need to do."
