Chapter 323: Wen Family Banquet, Happy Event Coming
The next day, at the Wen family.
A grand banquet was held in the back hall of the Wen family.
Wen Lin was in the middle, with his most beloved grandson Wen Yanzhao on his left, and on his right was the warm pot of wine that was respectfully sent back to the Wen family by Su Xin's personal soldiers.
Sitting opposite Wen Hujiu was Wen Buping, and the others were Wen Lie, Wen Liang (Wen Xiaoxiao), and other younger members of the Wen family.
The most surprising thing is the woman with a rosy face and a pair of charming eyes standing next to Wenhujiu - Lan Zhenzhen (Miss Daidai).
No one expected that Wen Hujiu would suffer such a disaster. Apart from Wen Yanzhao and Wen Lin who were the most anxious, there was another person who was worried about it and wanted to go to Su Xin's camp to fight for his life several times.
That is Lan Zhenzhen at the dinner table today.
Being able to sit at the Wen family's dinner table and eat hot pot with the Wen family members shows that Grandpa Wen Lin and the younger generations of the Wen family have completely accepted Lan Zhenzhen.
Wen Hujiu was able to survive thanks to his nephew Wen Yanzhao.
At the dinner table, everyone first toasted Mr. Wen Lin, and then Wen Buping suggested that the second glass of wine should be toasted to Wen Yanzhao.
"Laojiu, you owe your life to our Zhao'er! Haha... it's a pity you didn't have the good fortune to witness the grand spectacle of the Luofu River water falling from the sky!"
"Our Zhao'er lifted up the Hundred Miles River with a single palm strike, and the two thousand archers ambushed outside the Wen family were instantly reduced to a pile of drowned rats!"
"Come! Let's drink this glass of wine to the Wen family's great hero—Wen Yanzhao!"
"Yes, we must respect Zhao'er, otherwise this guy who is drinking wine will have his head hung on Su Xin's headquarters!"
"Come! Brother Jingzhao!"
"Brother Zhao really makes the younger generation of the Wen family proud. Hahahaha, Su Xin, Emperor Tai'an, they're all bullshit!"
"Dry!"
Everyone raised their glasses and toasted Wen Yanzhao.
This was the first time that Wen Yanzhao had encountered such a scene. Although he was a member of the Wen family, he had been loved since he was born. It was rare for him to be admired by his clansmen like today.
His face flushed a few shades of red, and he was speechless for a moment while holding the cup:
"This... Uncle Ping, Uncle Xiao, Aunt Dai Dai, A Lie, A Liang... How can we be so different from one family?"
Seeing his grandson moved by family affection, Wen Lin raised his glass and looked at Wen Yanzhao lovingly, saying:
"Zhao'er, in Grandpa's opinion, they deserve this glass of wine in your honor! You are the pride of our Wen family, and Grandpa has to toast you with this glass of wine!"
This is family, this is kinship.
Although Wen Yanzhao traveled through time and space and his identity was fake, he had been loved by everyone in the Wen family for more than ten years, and this deep affection was real!
No matter whether he is wandering in the mysterious realm or the poison sword immortal who is feared by the world, he will always be the most beloved grandson or nephew at home.
Wen Yanzhao's eyes slowly became moist, with hot tears rolling in his eye sockets. He held up his wine glass and spoke generously:
"Thank you, Grandpa, and thank you, uncles and brothers!"
"Although my uncle is usually unruly and occasionally drinks too much, he is one of my closest relatives, Wen Yanzhao. How can I, as a nephew, sit idly by and watch my uncle in trouble?"
"Don't even mention that my uncle was kidnapped by that Su Xin. Even if he was snatched away by an immortal from outside the realm, I, Wen Yanzhao, will go to great lengths to rescue him!"
"We're one family, so let's keep our distance! Zhao'er may be a warrior, but as long as he's a member of the Wen family, no matter who dares to do anything to my clan, I, Wen Yanzhao, will not let him go, no matter where in the world he's in!"
"Zhao'er, drink first as a sign of respect!"
Everyone at the table was also moved by Wen Yanzhao's words and drank their wine glasses in one gulp:
"Dry!"
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere at the dinner table was immediately ignited.
Wen Lin caressed Wen Yanzhao's hair lovingly and put a handful of crispy meat carp into his bowl:
"Zhao'er, you've worked hard these past few days. Eat more!"
Wen Yanzhao nodded and stuffed the meat into his mouth without any hesitation.
Then, Wen Lin's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he squinted at the warm pot of wine on the right:
"Jiu'er, come... tell everyone, how did you, the young master of the Wen family, the Poison Bodhisattva who has dominated the martial arts world for over a decade, and a top-ranked master in the Great Free and Easy Realm, get kidnapped by a group of bandits?"
Wen Hujiu was frightened by his father's eyes, shrank his neck and muttered softly:
"Oh my... Dad! Please stop mocking your son. As the saying goes—'People make mistakes, and horses stumble!'"
"Jin Buhuan and his group of turtle bastards are too cunning. I was just kind-hearted and let that little beggar fool me. That's why I fell into their trap!"
"Humph, otherwise even if there were another hundred of them, they would still be worthless!"
Wen Lin snorted coldly:
"Humph, you're just a drunkard all day long. You took Miss Zhenzhen for three miles just for a few mouthfuls of cat urine. Otherwise, how could they find you?"
"Fortunately, they didn't do anything excessive to Miss Zhenzhen, otherwise you would have committed a serious sin!"
Wen Lin's words gave Lan Zhenzhen enough face.
Everyone knew that Wenhujiu was kidnapped by Jin Buhuan and his gang because he was going to Yuzhenfang to buy rouge for Lan Zhenzhen. If the two of them had not gone to the city, Jin Buhuan and his gang might not have had the chance to attack them on the banks of the Luofu River.
Lan Zhenzhen knew in her heart that Mr. Wen was blaming all the faults on his son in an attempt to justify himself.
She felt warm in her heart and felt that the Wen family was far more understanding and considerate than she had imagined.
As she thought about it, Lan Zhenzhen simply poured herself a glass of wine, stood up, and bowed deeply to Wen Lin:
"Uncle Wen, others may not know, but Zhenzhen knows it best! What you just said was just to save face for me. This time, the wine pot (Lan Zhenzhen always calls it the Wenhu wine (*^▽^*)) is in trouble, and the culprit is actually me!"
"If I hadn't insisted on dragging him to Yuzhenfang to buy some ridiculous rouge, he wouldn't have been kidnapped by the villains, and Xiao Zhao'er wouldn't have wasted his energy to break into Su Xin's camp alone to rescue his uncle!"
"This glass of wine is from me, Lan Zhenzhen, to apologize to my uncle and the heroes of the Wen family!"
After saying that, Lan Zhenzhen tilted her neck back and drank the glass of wine clean.
Wen Lin looked at Lan Zhenzhen with his slightly cloudy eyes, and said lovingly:
"Zhenzhen, your uncle is so lucky to have a future daughter-in-law like you!"
"There are no cowards in the Wen family, and I, Wen Lin, also like tough guys the most! After a few days, I'll have Jiu'er prepare and pick an auspicious day to get your business done!"
"We should have been a family long ago. Listen to your uncle. There are no rumors, and there is no need to worry about family feuds!"
"If these things hinder you, I, Wen Lin, with my old bones, can clean them up for you!"
As soon as Wen Lin said this, everyone present applauded.
Lan Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard that. Every word of Wen Lin's was heartwarming and sincere. How could Lan Zhenzhen not be moved?
Although Lan Zhenzhen is the saint of the Five Poisons Sect of Miaojiang, she is a girl of another race.
But she has a straightforward personality. In order to stay with Wenhujiu forever without affecting both families, she is willing to stay in Yixiangyuan for more than ten years.
This is not easy for a girl!
As an old master of the art of trickery, Wen Lin has never attached importance to old customs and conventions.
But the Five Poison Sect and the Wen family had always been at odds; that was a fact. The fact that Lan Zhenzhen could make such a great sacrifice truly impressed Wen Lin.
He had told Wen Hujiu a long time ago that if the two of them truly loved each other, as a father, he would fully support Wen Hujiu in marrying Lan Zhenzhen into the Wen family in a formal ceremony.
From top to bottom, no matter old or young, senior or junior, everyone in this family treats Lan Zhenzhen sincerely.
But Wenhujiu refused considering the relationship between the two families and worldly prejudices.
When Wen Hujiu got into trouble this time, Lan Zhenzhen rushed to the Wen family and told Wen Lin the truth as soon as she recovered her strength.
At the same time, she resumed practicing the Five Poison Sect's skills, prepared the Miaojiang poison, and prepared to break into Su Xin's camp alone to rescue Wen Hujiu.
Just for the girl's sincerity, Wen Lin, as an elder, was very pleased.
Fortunately, Wen Yanzhao rushed back in time and rescued Wen Hujiu without much effort. Otherwise, if something really happened to Wen Hujiu, Lan Zhenzhen might really die for love.
"Everyone, listen to me! Grandpa's words are the golden rule in our Wen family!"
"Grandpa just told me to let my uncle pick a date and have the wedding with Aunt Dai Dai. I told him to decide right now!"
"What do you think?"
Wen Yanzhao was the first to stand up and take the lead. Everyone in the Wen family naturally responded and echoed him.
In this way, the Wen family had a lively night with everyone toasting each other with drinks.
When the wine was half drunk, Wen Lin suddenly remembered something and turned to Wen Yanzhao and whispered:
"Zhao'er, you haven't told Grandpa how to deal with the Su Xin military camp afterwards? They have 40,000 troops. Grandpa will not be afraid when you are in Lingnan."
"If you leave Lingnan, they will counterattack and our Wen family will suffer heavy losses..."
Wen Yanzhao stuffed half of a small green dragon shrimp tail into his mouth and swallowed it in a few bites:
"Oh, I was so busy complaining about my uncle last night that I forgot to tell Grandpa about this!"
"I've already given Su Xin the Jingzhe Shengsu Pill. Even if he has ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything to our Wen family. Sooner or later, his troops will become ours!"
"Oh, Grandpa, you can keep the group of people I brought back from the military camp, Jin Buhuan, to make medicine. After my uncle's wedding is over, I have to go back to Qiandong. Now, except for Yunzhou and a few corners of the southwest, the whole area has been controlled by your old relative, Grandpa Baili. We have to consolidate our victory!"
