Chapter 90: The Beginning of the Count
The news of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Governor Liu's Mansion has long been spread in various families in Xuzhou, and they are all curious about who can make Governor Liu pay so much attention.
"The fourth master has arrived."
The fourth master took the lady beside him to take the lead with the little maid.
At this time, Shen Gongzi and several Gongzi buddies were being stopped at the door, and they were in a stalemate with Steward Liu.
"Steward Liu, can't you be accommodating, they are also all famous sons and daughters of Xuzhou City."
"I'm really sorry, the lord didn't have too much to prepare for today's banquet."
"It's out of the way, it's still early, we just ate and drank a lot on the street, and we couldn't go hungry."
The corners of Steward Liu's mouth twitched: "Sons, don't embarrass the old slave again, and ask Shen Gongzi to quickly follow the old slave to the table." ”
No matter what Shen Qing said, Steward Liu just didn't enter the oil and salt, and refused to let other sons and brothers into the mansion. Seeing that Shen Qing was doing his best, several sons and brothers had no choice but to bow and say goodbye one after another.
Seeing that Steward Liu had finally dealt with it, the little guy who reported it immediately shouted, "Shen Gongzi has arrived." ”
The dinner was held in the courtyard of the back garden of Liu's house, and the place was very wide.
Qian Yimo and Governor Liu sat on the same stage, and Concubine Yan, Yi Jieyu and Concubine Liu were seated at a vertical table on the right.
"Fourth master, please come here."
"Shen Gongzi, please ...... here"
Yi Jieyu heard the prestige, the fourth master and his wife both sat down, this fourth master is obviously not the same person as the elegant back seen on the cruise yesterday. But Shen Gongzi, who came at the end, looked quite similar to yesterday's figure.
A trace of doubt flashed in her heart, could it be that this green voice is really the head of the fourth master outside? No, Xuzhou is far away from the capital, how can there be such a coincidence and hook up when you meet.
Left and right is a blur. In this way, it is better to change the goal, as long as Liu Concubine can win the scheme, anyone can do it.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi, the personal palace maid, hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.
"Master, the slave did follow the maid beside Concubine Liu all the way yesterday, and I saw her go to the Fourth Master's Mansion. The word 'Sifu' is written clearly in front of the door of the Fourth Master's Mansion, and the slave maid will never be mistaken. ”
Yi Jieyu gave a cold look: "Change the target to Shen Gongzi." ”
"Yes, the slave knows."
"Go ahead."
Since the dinner has not officially started. The back garden is bustling with activity. Red lanterns hang brightly on the edge of the trees, and flowers of all colors are in full bloom.
In fact, there were not many guests invited by Governor Liu's mansion. In addition to the sons of the Zhang and Xu families, the remaining sons of the Shen family are several famous bosses in the Linglong Chamber of Commerce. Sang Niang, the fourth master, the eighth master, and the twelfth master.
Governor Liu's mansion also came to see the guests present, and they were explaining to Qian Yimo one by one with a smile on their faces.
"Wang Gongzi, the front row on the left is the family members below, the old lady, and the main lady. Behind them are the bosses of various industries in the famous Linglong Chamber of Commerce in Xuzhou City. ”
"Linglong Chamber of Commerce?" Qian Yimo kept a heart, if he remembered correctly. Recently, a business organization called the Linglong Chamber of Commerce has also emerged in Beijing.
When it comes to the Linglong Chamber of Commerce, Governor Liu is very proud.
"Wang Gongzi, since ancient times, there have been farmers and businessmen, and at the end of the word business, many scholarly families look down on businessmen. They also don't want to think about how a city could grow and prosper without the merchants' savings. The reason why Xuzhou City has been able to change its appearance in just a few years is because of the outstanding talents in the Linglong Chamber of Commerce. ”
"You're optimistic about them."
Xu was too much in front of Qianyimo, and Governor Liu raised his glass with a modest smile.
"Prince Wang. Please. ”
From beginning to end, no one cared that the little branch beside Yi Jieyu quietly came to Miss Liu's side.
"Miss Yumeng, I don't know if I can take a step to speak."
"Where did you come from, you don't know the rules!"
Twig smiled lightly, and the scene was as if it were a normal conversation, and there was nothing suspicious.
"It doesn't matter who the slave is, the important thing is that my master is from the palace in the capital. So the identity of the prince, you can guess one or two. ”
Liu Yumeng was confused by 'from the palace' and was stunned.
"My master said, as long as you do what she tells you to do. In the future, there will be a place for you in the palace. Miss Yumeng, can you think about it? If you don't want to, then the slave can only find Miss Yurong. ”
Sure enough, Liu Yumeng heard the word Yurong. Hurriedly grabbed the twig. If it weren't for the fact that the scene was wrong, she would have stepped forward to ask a question a long time ago.
Xiaozhi's satisfied eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and this was what she wanted. Liu Yumeng couldn't suppress her feelings and walked to the depths of the small courtyard with Xiaozhi.
Liu Yurong, who had nothing to do, brushed it lightly and didn't take this little thing to heart.
……
After not waiting for a while, the dinner finally began, and the dancers and singers who performed were all from the music and dance building.
Xu offended the top girl Mingzi in the music and dance building yesterday. Mingzi did not appear today. The sons of Zhang and Xu, who came on time, inexplicably flashed a trace of disappointment in their eyes.
It is rumored that the Mingzi girl in the Yin Dance Building is beautiful and talented, but not everyone can see it.
"Master, I didn't expect Shen Gongzi to come tonight."
Liu Ruyue suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Yes, I know that he is anxious." ”
Green Yin silently caught the wine glass: "You can't drink alcohol now. ”
"......" She just picked up the glass and fiddled with it.
"Master, or you will sue the slave maid, how did you and Shen Gongzi meet. The slave has followed you for so many years, why haven't you seen him? ”
"Shen Gongzi, ......"
In fact, Liu Ruyue also wanted to find an opportunity to tell her true identity, but now was not the time.
At this moment, a little maid rushed into Green Yin. Before the green voice could react, the maid had already escaped and hidden, but found that she had an extra note in her hand.
She bent over and flipped the note open, scanning it quickly with Liu Ruyue.
Before he finished reading it, he unconsciously laughed: "Master, whose plan is this, it's really funny." actually said that Shen Gongzi admired you and wanted to invite you to talk in private, such a clumsy trick, a discerning person would know that it was a trap at a glance. ”
The corners of Liu Ruyue's lips curved slightly, touched the delicate small bowl in front of her, and was silent in thought.
"Master, is it possible that after this dance, you really want to meet you?"
"Of course, if you put a lot of effort into the layout, you can't beat someone's kindness. Wait for you to stay here and check the situation, and report to my space at any time. ”
"Then you have to be careful."
Liu Ruyue nodded lightly, and smiled at Shen Qingwan, who was diagonally opposite, and the other party actually showed a warm smile very tacitly.
This scene fell in Yi Jieyu's eyes, and she was more and more sure that they knew each other.
She was in a good mood and drank the sake in her cup with great interest. Concubine Liu knew too much about Concubine Xue last time, not to mention that now Concubine Liu is pregnant, and tonight's incident kills two birds with one stone. If she didn't succeed, and with Yue Feng's help, she didn't believe that Liu Ruyue would be safe and sound!
