Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 129: Receiving Guests, Social Etiquette

There were quite a few people in this group, and they traveled by water, filling up three large boats in total.

When we reached the top of the mountain and saw the Trinity Gate, which was even more majestic than the Lower House, we naturally felt sad again.

In front of the mountain gate, two vermilion-painted doors, two meters high, were open.

From time to time, sword lights fell from the sky, revealing people with extraordinary aura.

There were several disciples welcoming guests standing outside the door, responsible for ushering the guests into the inner courtyard.

From time to time, guests would come with gifts, and someone would write them down on the gift list.

This is called a contribution, and of course, it is entirely voluntary.

To put it bluntly, the group of "friars on the boat" brought up by Prince Fu were just here to join in the fun and take advantage of the situation, so naturally they did not bring any gifts.

But he was still invited into the inner courtyard.

After entering the inner courtyard, they saw Xu Zhiqiu greeting guests from a distance.

Someone asked Prince Fu:

"I guess this Xu Clan leader has a way to keep his youthful appearance. I wonder how long he has lived?"

Wang smiled and shook his head: "No, Master Xu is still a young man."

"what?"

Everyone was shocked, and then their expressions became interesting.

Some of them were sarcastically muttering:
"Oh, I thought he was an old scholar with a sagely demeanor, but it turns out he is just a child."

Someone else whispered:
"You can still be the leader of a sect with this? What a joke."

"I heard that this person has some unclear relationship with the Ghost King Sect. It seems that the Sanyi Sect is not a serious sect. It is probably a bunch of idiots. I have lost money on this trip."

There were many of them, and they kept their voices down. As Wang Zifu's cultivation was mediocre, he did not notice them for a moment.

When these people were brought before Xu Zhiqiu, their attitudes suddenly changed.

"Master Xu is truly a young and promising man!"

"We are here to congratulate Master Xu. Unfortunately, we left in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. I hope you won't blame us."

Xu Zhiqiu glanced at their faces, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said:
"No problem. You all have come from afar, so I will do my best to be a good host. Please take a seat."

Then he called someone to lead them to a seat.

The inner courtyard is vast and paved with white marble tiles.

It was originally a training ground for martial arts, but now it is used as a place to entertain guests, so it doesn't seem crowded.

A total of 31 tables were set up, including three tables at the top and the remaining 28 tables.

Arrange these people and call Qu Niang.

"Master, are we going to serve tea to these guests?"

After the mountain was opened, Qu Niang proposed to stay in Sanyi to serve Xu Zhiqiu.

The two had a close relationship. Xu Nian thought that Xiaohuan was in a lonely situation and had grown up, so he agreed and asked her to be the canteen manager for the time being.

Of course, although she is the manager, she is actually the only cook.

In addition to taking care of the meals for Xu Zhiqiu and his son, he also has to take care of a dog.

But even so, Qu Niang was willing.

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head, glanced at those people calmly, and said:
"Don't be too economical. These people are here to laugh at us. It would be a waste to give them Longjing before the rain. Remember to mix some cheap Gaomoer in it... Don't worry, these idiots won't be able to tell the difference."

"understood."

Qu Niang nodded and went down to work.

Ordinary people have a saying - find prostitutes, eat dregs, save where you can and spend where you can.

Wang Zifu did not hear what those people were talking about just now, but Xu Zhiqiu heard it clearly.

Xu Zhiqiu is not a sucker. He would never do such a thing as smiling and acting like a grandson when being insulted by others.

In other words, it is not appropriate to cause trouble on a happy day, otherwise one person will be slapped twice!

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he knew it in his heart.

Since we have opened the door to the world, this is inevitable.

Looking around, there are still many empty seats.

I cleared my bladder and saw Zhou Yixian sitting at a small table in the corner, drinking with a few cold dishes.

Look at the way he shakes his head, he looks so comfortable.

Xu Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and could not care less about him. He cleared his bladder again and saw Xiaohuan sitting on the steps with Gouzi in her arms, licking the candied haws in her hand.

"Zhou Xiaohuan!" He couldn't help but glare and scold:
"Still teasing! Still teasing! That dog is protecting its food, and no one will care if it bites you!"

"Humph~"

Xiaohuan pursed her lips and reluctantly left the dog behind to go find her grandfather.

…………

As the sun rose, wave after wave of guests arrived.

Some of them Zhiqiu knew, and some he only met once.

Some have never been heard of at all.

But as the host, on this day, he can only be tolerant and welcome the guests.

It wasn't until he met the first acquaintance that a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Taoist Liu was invited into the inner courtyard, and Xu Zhiqiu immediately went to greet him.

When we meet, we just ask: "Why are you here?"

"Alas..." Taoist Liu hammered his waist, "Your mountain gate is too high. It's inconvenient for me to fly the sword with my old arms and legs. Can you understand?"

After saying that, he smiled and pointed behind him, "Look who that is?"

Xu Zhiqiu looked in the direction he was looking and saw a woman in blue, holding a child of about seven or eight years old in each hand, walking towards him.

Xu Zhiqiu showed surprise and walked forward:

"Isn't this the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family? I haven't seen her for a few years. She missed me so much!"

Then he looked at the two children.
"Hey, are these two..."

Before he finished speaking, he had actually recognized it.

Looking at the two posthumous children he had rescued when he was in Yudi, they have now grown up and are still so cute. Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help feeling emotional.

I remember that it was he who gave the names of these two children.

"Yu Zhuo and Yu Qing, why don't you call me Master?"

After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, the two children were about to kowtow to her.

"Hey, hey, don't shout yet."

Xu Zhiqiu stretched out his hand to stop him:
"We are strict in accepting disciples in the Sanyi Sect. We would rather have no disciples than have unqualified ones. Although we have a friendship, we still have to go through the necessary procedures."

"Oh~ Now that you've become the head of the sect, our Qiu'er (erhua tone) has become more arrogant."

The lady of the Gu family is best at verbal offensives, but at this moment she has to give him face.

So he burst out laughing:

"You are the most promising among us. I would like to congratulate you, Master Xu."

While Xu Zhiqiu was laughing, he invited Taoist Liu and Mrs. Gu to sit in the chief seat.

At the same time, he called out to his wife:

"Hurry, hurry, serve tea, good tea!"

……

At the seats below, the group of casual cultivators who had come aboard the boat earlier now found a new direction for their discussion:

"Why is he so polite? Who are these two people?"

"I know that the old Taoist is from Shangjingmen, a small family with average abilities."

"As for that woman... I remember she seemed to be a casual cultivator from Medicine Immortal Valley. Her cultivation level... is also not worth mentioning."

"Oh, so the socialites of Trinity are these little pawns, hehe!"

Let them just sit there and talk.

At this time,

A strong voice came from outside the door:

"Fan Zengyang, a disciple of the great master of the Vajra Sect, is here to congratulate Master Xu!"

Followed by another energetic and high-pitched female voice:

"Duan Feifei, daughter of Jie Tian Tower Master from Longhu City, Youzhou, has come to congratulate Master Xu!"

A sturdy middle-aged man and a heroic woman in tight clothes entered the inner courtyard at the same time.
