Chapter 166: The Night Banquet Begins
After a few days of rain, the temperature dropped a few degrees, although it did not reach the level of freezing, but it was also very freezing, especially the clammy and cold feeling brought by the wind and rain, which made people cold into the heart and lungs.
Chen Lianyue estimated that the temperature was about four or five degrees, and she had stopped Chen Tianmeng's outdoor exercise in the past few days, for fear of freezing him and catching a cold, so that she didn't have to get up early to make Chen Tianmeng happy.
Today is the 20th of December, the day of the night banquet held by the City Lord's Mansion. Xu knew that there was going to be a banquet today, and God was very face-saving to collect the clouds and stop the rain, and the sun was shining brightly since the morning, and even the temperature had turned a few points.
Because it was a night banquet, the guests didn't have to go too early, and according to the practice of previous years, they all began to enter the city lord's mansion at the beginning of Shen Shi.
At this time, it was still early, and the neatly dressed Chen Lianyue and the others were all called to the Little Flower Hall by the Yang Li family, and even Murong Bai and Li Hailong did not fall behind.
"Well, this time the tailor made a good dress, very good."
After carefully looking at everyone's clothes, Yang Li finally nodded with satisfaction.
"It's just noon, Shen Shi, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion again, now let's eat lunch first."
Commanding Yahuan to put lunch on the table, Yang Li greeted everyone to eat with high emotions.
In fact, since dawn, Yang Li has always been in such an excited and excited state. Yang Qianqian pulled Chen Lianyue to sit at the table, gritted her teeth and smiled.
"My mother woke up before dawn, it's been several hours and I'm still so excited, I really don't know what will happen when I get to the City Lord's Mansion in a while, sometimes I think my father is quite pitiful."
looked at Yang Zhentian, who was slapped off by Yang Li to grab the chicken leg. Yang Qianqian whispered.
"Hehe, I think my uncle is enjoying it."
Glancing at Yang Zhentian, who saw Yang Li sandwiching the chicken leg into his bowl, and then laughing happily, Chen Lianyue said with a low smile.
"Anyway, I won't be as fierce as my mother in the future, I will be very good to Brother Zhuzi."
Looking up at the pillar opposite, Yang Qianqian grinned, and the pillar hurriedly sandwiched a large piece of the fish that Yang Qianqian liked to eat and put it on her plate.
Shaking her head looking at the interaction between the two, Chen Lianyue turned her head and looked at Murong Bai who was looking at her opposite.
Today's Murong Bai was wearing a newly made sky blue robe, this kind of cold-colored clothes seemed to be particularly flattering to him, only to make him even more cold. But it is also more handsome and heroic.
Until Chen Tianmeng pulled the corners of his clothes. Chen Lianyue realized that she actually looked at Murong Bai and saw it in a daze, and even forgot to eat. Quickly lowered his head to look at Chen Tianmeng, Chen Lianyue couldn't help but feel a little hot cheeks.
Retracting his gaze to look at Chen Lianyue, the corners of Murong Bai's mouth curled slightly. It shows that he is in a good mood today.
After lunch, I took a break again. The people set out and headed for the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the central area of Tianyuan City. There is still some distance from the Dongcheng District of Fuwei Dart Bureau, and because it is walking around the city, the carriage cannot be too fast. So after sitting in the carriage and walking for about two quarters of an hour, Chen Lianyue saw the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, the front of the city lord's mansion was very lively, and all kinds of carriages were parked in the area specially divided in front of the city lord's mansion.
After getting off the carriage in front of the door, Chen Lianyue saw that someone from the City Lord's Mansion immediately stepped forward and guided the coachman to park the carriage in the reserved area, Chen Lianyue felt that this was similar to the modern parking lot security.
After checking the invitation at the door, Chen Lianyue took Chen Tianmeng's hand and followed behind Murong Bai, after all, she was attending the night banquet as Murong Bai's wife. Liu's mother and Fluttershy are with Yang Zhentian's family, and they are Yang Qianqian's future mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Because of their identities, Chen Lianyue, Murong Bai, and Yang Zhentian sat in different places, and when they parted, Chen Lianyue turned around and nodded to Mother Liu and Fluttershy, signaling them to have fun.
As the subordinates who led the way came to the area in front, Chen Lianyue saw that Yu Wenhong, whom she had seen half a month ago, was already standing there with a smile on his face.
"The Lord of the Murong Domain and his wife are here, but they can't go out to greet them, and they still look at Haihan."
Hugging his fists and giving a salute, Yu Wenhong said politely.
"The eldest prince is polite, it is an honor to receive an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion."
After returning the salute, Murong Bai also said politely.
"Come, please sit down, my father will be here in a while, he has long wanted to see the true face of the domain master."
Stretching out his hand to cross the road, Yu Wenhong pointed to a square table on the left closest to the main seat and said.
"Thank you."
Nodding at Yu Wenhong, Murong Bai took Chen Lianyue's arm and let her and Chen Tianmeng sit on the seat first, and then bowed to Yu Wenhong and walked into the seat.
Li Hailong also bowed to Yu Wenhong, and then sat down behind Murong Bai and Chen Lianyue. In fact, there are small table seats behind each square table in the front row, which are reserved for family members and female dependents, and the seats in the front row can only be seated by the invited couple.
Seeing that Murong Bai and Chen Lianyue were already seated, Yu Wenhong nodded towards them and went to greet the other guests.
However, a one-armed old man who had been following him did not leave after Yu Wenhong left, but stepped forward to add an extra plate of fruit to Chen Lianyue's table.
"This lady, this is the fruit that the eldest prince ordered, for the little young master to eat."
Smiling at Chen Lianyue, the old man looked at Chen Tianmeng with a kind face.
"Thank you, uncle."
Chen Lianyue took the fruit plate and smiled at the old man, but as soon as her hand touched the plate, she felt the difference. Looking at the old man's kind smile and slightly nodded his head, Chen Lianyue put down her doubts, put down the plate and withdrew her hand without changing her face.
Seeing Chen Lianyue accept the things, the old man turned around and left with a smile. That's right, this old man is Uncle Cheng, he just placed a note under the fruit bowl, and when Chen Lianyue raised her hand to take the fruit plate, the note reached Chen Lianyue's hand.
Looking at Uncle Cheng's figure walking away, Chen Lianyue looked up and looked around, and saw that people were chatting and eating fruit, so she leaned on Murong Bai's body slightly, and took out a note from her sleeve.
After reading the note, Chen Lianyue's hand couldn't help but shake for a while, and then her face changed greatly, Murong Bai reached out to wrap her shoulder to cover her gaffe, making outsiders look like a young couple showing affection, without attracting people's attention.
"What's wrong? Where did this note come from? ”
Because the sleeves of Chen Lianyue's clothes were relatively large, even Murong Bai didn't notice when he passed the note. (To be continued.) )
