Chapter 6 The Prime Minister Goes to the Banquet

King Qi's appearance has always been in her mind, not because of Yu Xuan's kindness and good looks. It's because King Qi looks like her boyfriend from that era, who has broken up but has never forgotten. It wasn't until later that she realized that the man was good, but he couldn't do it anymore. Coming here and meeting him may be an opportunity for Qingqing. It's just that she is not the one who takes the initiative, and next, it depends on chance.

Qingqing sat alone at the desk, her mother on the wooden chair next to her was across the road, talking something intermittently, she only stared at the jade pendant, her hand stroked from time to time, her eyes were empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Whatever the mother said, she only nodded yes and said nothing else. When her mother saw her like this, she sighed in her heart. Since the birth of this child, she felt that this person was not her child, although it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, but when she gradually grew up, she didn't look like her own child no matter where she looked at it, and she had an unconcealable bearing, as well as a pair of inexplicable eyes, so that since she was a child, she treated it politely and did not dare to overstep it. Her grandfather didn't care, seeing the child so good-looking, he was overjoyed, and the child was better to him than a mother. The woman's heart rejoiced at the thought of her laughter, but she sighed again at the thought of her man's death on the run from the famine.

The banquet had already begun in the front hall, and some of the young children had not eaten and drunk for a short time, so they asked the host who had come to toast to invite the young lady out. When everyone heard this, they stopped eating and drinking, and only looked back at the merchant. The merchant was already a little drunk, and a little excited, and after thinking about it, he thought it was right, so he sent the girl to find the young lady. When the people saw that the little man was running away, they began to drink heartily again, and they were more happy than before, and the merchant was also full of red light and joy in it.

is saying that the little girl arrived in the backyard, knocked on the door, the little girl stayed outside, and the girl came in. shouted: Mrs. Qing, Miss, the lord asked Miss to go ahead. Because the woman was Qingqing's biological mother, and Mrs. treated her sister, everyone called her Mrs. Qing.

Qingqing asked: What is the matter with letting me go ahead?

The girl replied: The master toasted on the table, and a few sons took the opportunity to call, saying that they wanted to see the young lady, so the master let him come.

Qingqing said: You go back and tell the master that I am not feeling well, so I will not go ahead.

Seeing that the young lady was indifferent and didn't say much, she didn't dare to say anything more, so she just bowed and withdrew. The girl went back and forth and said what Qingqing said word for word. At that time, all the guests were also waiting for a reply, and when the girl said this, the young child's heart couldn't help but be disappointed, and the older one only thought that this child was really good.

After the girl left, Mrs. Qing couldn't help but say: Today is your banquet, and the guests can say that they want to see you, why did you refuse?

Qingqing replied: Why did those men let me go to meet them?

Mrs. Qing couldn't answer when she heard it. After thinking about it, I really think she did the right thing. I can't help but be a little afraid. For a long time, neither of them spoke, and each thought about other things.

At this time, the ink shop in the palace was looking at the folds sent from all over the place, annotating them from time to time, and then sending someone to send them back. The little servant who served close to him has been guarding his side, not daring to pant loudly, and not daring to look at the eyes, only staring elsewhere, his ears are pointed, for fear of missing something, this monarch, their slaves are afraid of no, it's not that Mo Xing is wrong with the slaves, it's just that Mo Xing does things vigorously, although he will not be tyrannical to people, but if there is carelessness, he will be severely punished.

Flipping through a book, the handwriting is flying and the phoenix is dancing, which is the prime minister of the hilly country. The above content is generally a summary of the situation in various places in recent months, after reading it, the ink line reviewed some of his own opinions, just about to put down the pen, suddenly remembered something, and put the pen down. Said to the little servant: Go and invite the prime minister.

After hearing this, the little servant bowed down and retreated, and hurriedly ordered others to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite adults. Go back to the palace and return to Moxing's words: The lord of the country has ordered someone to invite the prime minister. Mo Xing nodded, said nothing, and continued to watch the folds. The servant slowly retreated to the table, maintaining his previous position.

The prime minister of the Hill Country was attending a banquet at the merchant's place at the moment, and he and Ren Guiping were friends of life and death. A few years ago, when the merchant's business was just starting, and many places cost money, it was at this time that he met the current prime minister, who was just a broken outcast. Like many of the displaced people who came here, his family was barren and there was a famine. Although he has read poetry and books and has taken the imperial examination several times, but officialdom, no matter how shocking his talent is, he is just fishing for the moon in the water, and he will never get there. In the past few years, his family died of exhaustion and exhaustion for him, and finally there was no food, and the only remaining family members starved to death. So he drifted with the outcasts to the Hilly Country.

Ren Guiping is kind by nature, generous to others, and has a Maitreya Buddha-like bearing. He saw many homeless people drifting here, lamented the impermanence of the world, sighed for it, and ordered someone to buy steamed rice porridge for alms. Suddenly, I saw a man with a yellow face and thin muscles and tattered clothes, but this person was well-read, his eyes were detached, and he had a sense of detachment that could not be seen in the world, and he couldn't help but have admiration for him. So I invited him to come and talk about it.

The merchant asked: How did Childe fall like this?

When the Prime Minister heard him say this, he thought that he knew his own family, but when he thought that he had never met him, even if he was a friend of his family, he did not necessarily know himself. Puzzled, he asked: The scholar doesn't know, who is the official?

The merchant thought it was funny, and said with a smile: I have never seen Childe before, but when I saw him this time, I felt that Childe was really an extraordinary person, not a dirty thing in the world such as us, so he had the intention of making friends.

Hearing the merchant say this, he suddenly realized that this person was actually a confidant. After that, the two became like brothers, the merchant was the elder brother, and the prime minister was the younger brother. The hilly country has gradually developed, and it has become like the Xifeng country. In the first year of the imperial examination, the businessman took out the white taels of silver to make a good point, and no matter how talented he was, he deserved to win the top spot. Although he is now a prime minister, he respects the businessman as he did at the beginning, and he is called a brother.

The servants in the palace rushed to the prime minister's mansion and were told that the prime minister had gone to his brother to eat and drink, and after asking where he was, he rushed again. When the feast was not long, the prime minister saw the little servant rush to him, saying that the king wanted to see you. After thinking about it for a while, I asked the little guy: Do you know what the lord of the country is looking for me?

Xiao Guy replied: The slave doesn't know.

The Prime Minister thought about it for a while, although he did not want to leave the table, but the lord of the country was looking for someone at this time to find someone to make a big deal, or it was important to rush over. So he thanked his brother and sister-in-law and said goodbye, and explained that the merchant knew that the state affairs were important, so he did not force him to stay, but only asked his brother to come and see it when he wanted. So, the prime minister rushed to the palace with the little servant.

After the banquet was dispersed, the brothers and uncles who were relatively close to them stayed, saying that they had nothing to say and wanted to take this opportunity to make it clear. The lady ordered a few maids to go to the back hall to help, and tea and fruit snacks were placed on the left and right sides of each chair table, so that the guests could not be neglected.
