The C seat has the most seats, located at the very end of the hall, and is also the furthest from the seats of the leaders of the various gangs who preside over the sword-testing competition.
Although each seat is a single table, the single tables in the Yuan and Jia seats are large enough for three people to sit together, while the single tables in the Bing seats are genuine single tables for all ages.
Many of the martial artists who attended the meeting brought their servants with them.
Bringing servants is also a way to show off one's status.
Some servants brought pageboys, some brought maids, and some brought burly men—the list goes on. But the common point about servants was that they could not sit at the same table as their masters. So when there were only single tables at the banquet, the servants could only stand behind their masters and watch.
However, He Yunxiao and Chu Chu do not fall into this category.
Strictly speaking, the two had an employer-employee relationship; to a certain extent, Chu Chu and Xiao Xiao were in need of He Yunxiao's help. Besides, He Yunxiao hadn't eaten dinner that night, so how could he just watch Chu Chu eat alone?
He Yunxiao did not choose to cause trouble for Liu Feiyun, after all, he was still counting on him to promote the gold and silver vouchers.
First, he helped Chuchu to her seat, and then, on his own initiative, he moved a chair and sat down next to Chuchu.
Chu Chu didn't mind. Back when she and He Yunxiao were studying in the Fan family's study, it was much more crowded than it is now.
So, when He Yunxiao moved a stool and sat down next to Chu Chu, the only two-person seat in the entire venue was created.
It can't be said to be very eye-catching, but it can be described as unique.
After all, everyone was seated individually, in neat rows and columns. But when He Yunxiao suddenly appeared, it was impossible for him to go unnoticed.
Liu Feiyun was greeting guests at the door, and he was initially quite content, but ever since He Yunxiao arrived, he had become restless. Everyone in Yinjing knew He Yunxiao's talent for causing trouble. The Liu family had invested heavily in hosting this sword-testing tournament, and they couldn't afford any mistakes.
While entertaining the guests, Liu Feiyun kept glancing back at He Yunxiao in the room, worried that something might go wrong. At first, He Yunxiao seemed normal, which reassured Liu Feiyun, until he turned around again and saw He Yunxiao move a chair. Liu Feiyun felt a chill run down his spine.
The guests immediately left and went to serve Master He.
Most of the seats in the hall were already full. As is well known, the more important the person, the later they arrive, so there are more empty seats further forward.
As for the last seat, the third seat, they're almost all occupied.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, He Yunxiao started eating without any hesitation.
There were naturally two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. The extra set was not taken by Liu Feiyun; He Yunxiao simply grabbed it from an empty spot next to him when he moved the stool.
Although it was a Class C banquet, you could tell from the dishes how much effort the Liu family had put in.
Five cold dishes and three main dishes. They were the usual braised duck, braised beef, and pig's ears.
Even ordinary families might not have three dishes of meat when celebrating a happy occasion, so the Liu family went to great lengths to expand their influence.
He Yunxiao, however, discerned a different meaning in this dish.
The fact that they dare to serve dishes like this only proves the Liu family is wealthy. This is good news for gold and silver coupons!
The fact that the Liu family can host a sword-testing tournament shows they're wealthy. This is good news for gold and silver vouchers!
The fact that they can hire so many people shows that the Liu family is wealthy and powerful. This is good news for gold and silver vouchers!
In short, the benefits for gold and silver vouchers are over.
Of course, he couldn't hold Chu Chu's little hand while eating, but He Yunxiao wasn't idle either. Before he started eating, he left enough portion for Chu Chu for each dish and even thoughtfully put it into her bowl.
"Chuchu, eat meat."
Then he glanced casually at Chu Chu's chest.
Yes, it needs nutrition, and the future is promising.
To be fair, given Chu Xiaoxiao's current level, even if she stops growing, she's definitely not mediocre; she's at least average. Considering her slender figure and slim waist, her proportions are quite respectable for an average person. It's just that Xiaoxiao usually likes to wear strapless tops to look younger, so it's not very noticeable.
But He Yunxiao had the opportunity to meet them a few times and knew what was going on.
In addition, Chu Xiaoxiao is only sixteen years old now, and she still has a lot of room for growth in the future. We can't let nutrition hinder her physical development.
"Chuchu, eat some meat."
Chu Chu turned to look at He Yunxiao, her eyes filled with resentment.
Unaware of what was happening, He Yunxiao asked, "What's wrong?"
"Are you expecting me to eat through a cloth?"
He Yunxiao: ...
That's true, how can you eat while wearing a veil?
Should we stop her from wearing it?
I can't not wear it! So many people are watching.
Holy crap, Liu Kaixiong is there too, an old acquaintance of Chunfenglou.
He Yunxiao could only say, "Chuchu, lift your veil a little before you eat, and put it down quickly after you finish eating."
Chu Chu remained silent.
He Yunxiao thought that she was just finding it troublesome.
Given Chu Chu's personality, she's straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush, so it's already quite an achievement that she's wearing this awkward veil. It wouldn't be right to trouble her with a meal because of it. But she simply can't take the veil off.
He Yunxiao was caught in a dilemma.
It would be great if I could cut the food into smaller pieces, but unfortunately I didn't bring a knife.
Just then, Liu Feiyun arrived.
"Brother He, Brother He, please listen to me..."
Upon seeing Liu Feiyun, He Yunxiao immediately ordered him, "You've come at the right time. Find me two knives and a plate. The knives should be one large and one small, with the smaller one about the size of your index finger."
Liu Feiyun: "Brother He, you..."
He Yunxiao told him, "Go quickly, I need it urgently."
Although Liu Feiyun had never dared to offend He Yunxiao in the past, he dared even less now.
He Yunxiao, being the young master of a marquis's mansion who has the power to escape death, can cause a ruckus if he's unhappy. Not only can he ruin the sword-testing tournament, but he can also leave all the martial arts practitioners helpless and frustrated.
