In the evening.

Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, on the spacious avenue, the cars are flowing like dragons.

In order to make the eldest princess's dinner party more lively tonight, the city lord Jiang Bannan invited many nobles from Mo City, as well as some members of the big family.

The personnel of the four major families and the meritorious families all sent representatives to the banquet with gifts.

On either side of the doorway, there stood two rows of soldiers in sharp armor.

Outside the four walls of the house, there are various warrior guards patrolling at all times

Under the steps of the gate.

Jiang Beiwang, Jiang Bannan's younger brother, was full of smiles, holding the list in his hand, and personally greeted the guests.

Each invited guest can only bring a maximum of five family members to the banquet, and the name of each family member must be reported in advance.

A lavishly decorated carriage stopped on the road not far away.

Immediately, Wang Lun, the head of the Wang family, strode over with several brothers and family members, holding gifts.

Then.

The Zhang family advocated Song, Luo Yannian, the head of the Luo family in Chengguo Mansion, and Song Fu, the head of the Song family, all came with their families.

Originally, everyone was smiling and talking at the door, but after seeing Song Fu bring his family over, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared slightly, and their voices became much quieter.

The Song family had just died of their son and daughter, and even on such a day, it was difficult to laugh.

Song Fu's wife, Sun Qiaoxiang, has a wooden face.

Song Fu knew that tonight was not the time to be sad, and when he saw the heads of other families at the door, he immediately smiled and quickened his pace.

Several old friends met each other, exchanged a few words at the door, and then took their families into the house.

After another moment.

The carriage of the Qin Mansion slowly turned in from the street not far away and stopped on the side of the road.

Qin Wenzheng got out of the carriage first.

Immediately Qin Chuan, the second son of the Qin Mansion, jumped down lightly, and then went over to help Song Ruyue down.

The last one came down was a beautiful girl wearing a plain white dress and being extremely weak.

The Qin family did not bring anyone else except these people today.

When Jiang Beiwang saw them, he first opened the list and took a look, and then immediately greeted them, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Wenzheng is busy, so I can come a little late today." ”

Qin Wenzheng smiled and said, "There are too many people on the road, and there is a delay for some time. Today, Brother Beiwang personally came out to greet the guests, but he was a little condescending. ”

Jiang Beiwang hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is it, today is the banquet of the eldest princess, if it weren't for my brother who needs to accompany him to answer inside, where would it be my turn to come here to greet you distinguished guests." ”

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Jiang Bei looked at Fang with a smile on his face and glanced at the family members behind him, Seeing that there was no one else, Fang arched his hand and said: "Brother Wenzheng, for the safety of the eldest princess, my brother has an order, and the gifts carried by each guest tonight must be taken a look at in advance." ”

Qin Wenzheng smiled: "It should be." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Qin Chuan and said, "Chuan'er, bring the things over." ”

Qin Chuan immediately held a rectangular brocade box in both hands and handed it to him.

Qin Wenzheng opened the brocade box, put it in front of Jiang Beiwang, and explained: "This jade Ruyi was obtained by my mother from elsewhere, and it has been kept at home. ”

Jiang Beiwang glanced at it, nodded and smiled: "The condition looks good, it's a good thing." ”

Then his gaze turned to the roll in the hand of the weak girl.

Qin Weimo raised his hand, handed the framed picture scroll in his hand to Qin Chuan, and said softly: "Second brother, these are some poems and paintings made by Weimo, you can show them to Uncle Jiang." ”

Qin Chuan hurriedly took it, held it in both hands, and handed it to Jiang Beiwang.

Jiang Beiwang just glanced at it and said with a smile: "Since it is poetry, calligraphy and painting, there is nothing to check, anyway, I can't understand it." Haha, Brother Wen Zheng, your little daughter is a talented girl at first glance, not bad, not bad. ”

Qin Wenzheng said a few words, and Fang took his family and went up the steps.

Song Ruyue supported her daughter.

Qin Chuan followed on the other side, paying attention at any time.

Just by going up the steps, Qin Weimo's face was flushed, and he was panting, looking like he was about to fall at any time.

Song Ruyue not only reproached in a low voice: "My mother said a long time ago, what are you doing on this occasion?" Your precious poems, when the time comes, your mother will help you give them to the eldest princess, why do you need to come by yourself, if you faint later, hey......"

Qin Weimo clenched the things in his hand and did not speak.

Qin Chuan on the side hurriedly comforted: "Mother, it's okay, I'm looking at Weimo." Weimo stayed at home all day and never came out, this time he was finally able to come out once, and it was not a bad thing to be breathable. ”

Song Ruyue sighed again and did not speak again.

The servant led them into the spacious hall.

In the hall, the people of the other families were already drinking tea and chatting, and when they saw Qin Wenzheng coming in, they all stood up and greeted them warmly.

The lady was taken to a side room.

Song Ruyue quickly found the ladies who often played together.

The few people quickly got together.

Qin Weimo sat quietly on a chair in the corner, holding the picture scroll full of poems tightly in his hand.

After Qin Chuan greeted several young men he knew, he came over to accompany her.

Song Ruyue sat next to her, although she was chatting and laughing with those noble ladies, she would glance at this place from time to time.

"Weimo, are the poems on this scroll all written by yourself?"

Qin Chuan asked softly.

Qin Weimo smiled slightly and said, "Yes, second brother." ”

Qin Chuan stretched out his hand and smiled: "Second brother, can you take a look?" ”

Qin Weimo shook his head and said softly: "Weimo will give it to the eldest princess later, and the second brother can't touch it casually." If you accidentally break it, it will be miserable. ”

Qin Chuan smiled and took a few candies from the plate next to him, handed them to her and said, "Look at your baby, don't you dislike the second brother's dirty hands?" ”

Qin Weimo smiled: "I don't eat, second brother, how have you been practicing martial arts recently?" ”

Qin Chuan peeled the candy and said, "It's okay, that's it." I'll tell you, I guess you don't understand it either. ”

Qin Weimo pursed his lips slightly, and said secretly in his heart: Brother-in-law is also practicing martial arts.

Qin Chuan put the candy in his mouth, stared at her face a few times, and said, "Weimo, you seem to be in good spirits for the past two days, and you haven't seen any coughing along the way tonight." It seems that those medicines are working well, you have to remember to take them every day, but you can't stop. ”

Qin Weimo pursed his lips and chuckled, nodded and said, "Well, Weimo also wants to eat every day, and Weimo doesn't want to stop." ”

Qin Chuan said a little strangely: "What's the matter?" Isn't there enough medicine? Wait for the second brother to go out tomorrow to buy it, if there is no one in the city, the second brother will go out of the city to buy it elsewhere. ”

Qin Weimo smiled: "It's enough for the time being." ”

She secretly said in her heart: For the time being, her brother-in-law is still willing to accompany her, but I don't know how long he will accompany her.

Qin Chuan glanced at his mother, and suddenly approached her again and asked, "Weimo, tell the second brother the truth, after you fell into a coma that night, you woke up the next day, and when Qingzhou went to see you, why did your mother suddenly pull Qingzhou into your room?" This...... Doesn't seem to be in order, right? And didn't your mother not let any man into your room? My dad and I never went in, what the hell is going on? ”

Grain

Qin Weimo smiled and said softly: "Second brother, you should ask your mother about this matter, and Weimo doesn't know very well." ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he had to shake his head: "Forget it, my mother won't tell me this kind of thing." And this kind of thing seems a little embarrassing, so I'd better not ask. I'm just a little strange, Qingzhou's kid looks stupid, why does he seem to be very pleasing to his mother, it's really strange. ”

Qin Weimo said softly: "Second brother, in fact, my brother-in-law is very powerful, but you don't know it." ”

"Oh?"

Qin Chuan was slightly stunned and said, "What's so powerful about that kid?" Isn't he just a showman, who can read a few books and compose a few poems? ”

Qin Weimo smiled: "Second brother, don't underestimate anyone." You have to take the exam of the Dragon and Tiger Academy next year, and you must not underestimate any opponent, otherwise you will definitely suffer. ”

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Of course I know this, it's just that that kid from Qingzhou really can't see what's powerful." The second brother can push him down with one finger, believe it or not? ”

Qin Weimo shook his head with a smile and said, "Weimo doesn't believe it. ”

She secretly said in her heart: My brother-in-law can kill a person with one punch, so that he won't be pushed down by you.

Qin Chuan smiled: "Underestimate the second brother, don't you?" Why don't you go back tonight and go to Qingzhou, so that you can see how powerful the second brother is, okay? ”

Qin Weimo immediately said, "It's not good." Second brother, I'm not going to bully your brother-in-law. ”

Qin Chuan laughed and said, "Just kidding, just kidding." Qingzhou is a scholar, and the second brother is a martial artist, where will he be bullied. Even if the second brother wants to bully, he is also bullying outsiders, where will he bully his own brother-in-law. ”

"Brother-in-law......"

Qin Weimo listened to this word, and his heart lake suddenly rippled.

While the brother and sister were talking, the noisy chatter in the hall outside suddenly stopped.

Immediately, the voice of the city lord Jiang Bannan sounded outside: "The eldest princess is here." ”

in the hall.

Everyone hurriedly stood up, lowered their heads and eyes, and fell silent.

In the side room, the ladies also hurriedly stopped chatting, got up from their chairs, stood with their hands down, and waited quietly.

Not much.

A tall figure in a red dress, surrounded by four maids and some maids, accompanied by Jiang Bannan, walked into the hall from the courtyard outside.

Everyone in the hall was swept away by the eyes of the girl in the red dress, and they all felt a pang in their hearts, held their breath and condensed, bowed their heads and bent over, and did not dare to move.

Even those aristocratic elders who are more than half a hundred years old are also tight-hearted, and they don't dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.

This girl has taken the initiative to join the army since she was thirteen years old, showing amazing military talent, in the past five years, she has killed countless enemies, and also personally cut off the heads of the Jin King and other royal people, and also killed the entire 100,000 troops of the neighboring Baihua Country, and even the armies of various enemy countries have changed their colors, not to mention those who have never even been on the battlefield.

This girl is not angry and arrogant, and there is a chilling momentum all over her body, and no one dares to look up and take a second look.

"Eldest princess, please take a seat."

The city lord of Nanjiang City, who was covering the sky with one hand in Mocheng, was also cautious at this time, his body bowed slightly, showing extreme respect.

Nangong Huoyue stepped into the main seat, lifted the red dress, turned around and sat down on the chair, the wide red dress was like a flame, adding a more formidable momentum to the girl.

Jiang Bannan smiled beside him: "Eldest princess, I have invited many guests today to come to the eldest princess to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and by the way, celebrate the eldest princess's victory in this battle, raise the power of my Great Yan, and protect my people." Everyone prepared some small gifts for the eldest princess, chatting about their hearts, hoping that the eldest princess could take a look. ”

Nangong Huoyue glanced at the people below with a faint expression, and did not speak.

Jiang Bannan immediately gave a look to the few people below.

Zhang's family advocated that Song immediately came out of the crowd, came to the middle, bowed his head and bowed his hand, and said with a respectful face: "Zhang Song greets the eldest princess." This time, the eldest princess fended off the enemy army on the border and won a great victory, not only raising the power of my great fire, but also protecting the people of our entire city of Mo. I knew that the eldest princess didn't like extravagance and waste, so she didn't dare to bring other things over today, so she only took a sword and gave it to the eldest princess, and I hoped that the eldest princess wouldn't dislike it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a person walked out next to him, holding a long wooden box in both hands, and handed it to him.

Zhang Song took it, bent down and bowed his head, and raised the wooden box in his hand with both hands.

Jiang Bannan immediately came down and took it in his hand, and respectfully presented it to the eldest princess.

A maid walked out behind Nangong Huoyue, opened the wooden box, took out a sword from it, held it in both hands, and handed it to her.

Nangong Huoyue glanced at it, took it in his hand, held the hilt of the sword, and pulled it out with a "bang".

Suddenly, the cold light burst out, and the temperature in the house seemed to drop suddenly!

"Good sword!"

Jiang Bannan praised with a smile on his face: "This sword sound is like a clear spring, the sword blade is cold and light, and the sword qi is restrained, it is obviously made of high-grade dark iron, but I am afraid that the refining master has also added some other materials." Even if it is a good iron armor, I am afraid it can be slashed with a sword. ”

Nangong Huoyue put away the sword, there was no other expression on his face, and nodded: "It is indeed a good sword, Lord Zhang has a heart." ”

Zhang Songzu was an official in the imperial court, and now he still has a false position, and the eldest princess has come to Mocheng several times, so she naturally knows him.

Hearing the eldest princess's personal praise, Zhang Song was immediately flattered, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed deeply, but he didn't dare to say more, and immediately stepped aside and gave way to the others.

Luo Yannian of Chengguo Mansion stepped forward, bowed his head and arched his hand: "Xiaguan Luo Yannian, meet the eldest princess." Hearing that the eldest princess was coming to Meaux, the officials prepared a fierce horse for the eldest princess and kept it in the stable. Tomorrow, when the eldest princess has time, the lower officials will immediately send it to let the eldest princess tame herself. Today, the eldest princess also prepared a moonlight pearl, if the eldest princess reads at night, she can put it in the tent, which is many times brighter than the oil lamp. ”

As soon as the words were finished, the eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion, Wang, immediately bowed her head, holding a brocade box in both hands, and walked out cautiously from the side, then bent her knees, and knelt on the ground respectfully, holding the brocade box above her head with both hands, and always looking down at the ground.

The maid behind the eldest princess immediately came down, took the brocade box, opened it first and took a look, then walked up and handed it to the eldest princess.

Nangong Huoyue glanced at it, did not comment, but looked below and said: "Lord Luo, I heard that your family is now in the Kyoto Imperial Forest Army, and he is performing well, and his cultivation is also making rapid progress, right?" ”

Luo Yannian hurriedly said respectfully: "The eldest son of the lower official, Changtian, is indeed serving in the Imperial Forest Army now. As for performance and cultivation, where is it worthy of the praise of the eldest princess. ”

Nangong Huoyue suddenly said again: "I remember that next year's Dragon and Tiger Academy recruitment, there seem to be a few places in Mo City. Your eldest son was admitted to the Dragon and Tiger Academy with the first place in Meaux, right? Do you still have a son to attend next year? ”

Luo Yannian bowed his head and said, "Xiaguan still has a son, and he will indeed take the entrance examination of Dragon and Tiger Academy next year." ”

Nangong Huoyue nodded and said: "If every meritorious family is like Lord Luo's family, studying hard, serving the country, and relying on their own strength to become officials, where will I propose to the Holy Lord to abolish the title of the third generation." ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Yannian bowed his head and did not dare to answer.

Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "I remember that your title of Chengguo Mansion has been hereditary for three generations, right?" ”

Luo Yannian's face changed slightly, and he bowed his head and said respectfully: "With the addition of Xiaguan, there are indeed three generations." ”

Nangong Huoyue nodded slightly and did not speak again.

Luo Yan's back was dripping with cold sweat, and he waited for a while, and hurriedly pulled Wang, who was still kneeling next to him, and bowed down.

Then, the Wang family, the Song family and other families all gave gifts.

After sending a pair of strong bows, Song Fu, the head of the Song family, also sent a picture scroll, and said respectfully: "The poems on this painting are all made by the nephew Zhengming of the grass clan, especially for the eldest princess. ”

Nangong Huoyue opened it and looked at two works at random, nodded and said: "The writing is good, good poetry, good words." ”

When Song Fu lowered his head and retreated, he quietly glanced at Qin Wenzheng next to him.

When it was Qin Wenzheng's turn.

Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "Lord Qin, I remember that there are three generations of your family's titles, right?" ”

Qin Wenzheng bowed his head and said, "It is indeed there." ”

Nangong Huoyue said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, the eldest son in your family is still studying at Kyoto Dragon and Tiger Academy, right?" ”

Qin Wenzheng said: "The dog has indeed studied in the Dragon Academy for more than two years. ”

Nangong Huoyue nodded and did not speak again.

Jiang Bannan, who was on the side, hurriedly reminded: "Brother Wen Zheng, what gift are you going to give to the eldest princess today?" ”

At this time, Song Ruyue supported a girl in a plain white dress and walked out of the room next to her.

In the girl's hand, she held a thick picture scroll.
