Chapter 248: The Banquet

Saying that there is something to deal with is not an excuse, back to the Gold and Silver Building, An Ruolan did not have time to accompany Zhou Mi'er and Wei Shao, and was pulled to accept the tourmaline head that was about to be launched in the Gold and Silver Building.

Zhou Mi'er and Wei Shao saw that she was busy, so they went out to play together.

In the evening, Mr. Yi personally went to the gold and silver building to pick up An Ruolan and return to Qianxunju, and saw that her expression was not as happy as when he saw his sisters and friends, Mr. Yi was not surprised, but he did not ask more, but distracted her with other things.

"The head of Yongfa Commercial Bank sent an invitation today, inviting the young owner to attend the banquet in three days." Mr. Yi took out a gilded large-character invitation from his sleeve, and the intricate and gorgeous patterns were extremely luxurious.

An Ruolan glanced at the invitation listlessly, and said discouragedly: "Can I do it?" ”

Hearing this, Mr. Yi raised his eyebrows playfully and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I lost confidence when I came out?" If you don't have self-confidence, you can't take care of the congratulatory notes. ”

I was sure that she had been hit.

An Ruolan shook her head and said, "I'm just an ordinary boudoir girl with no talent for business, and if you suddenly let me attend the banquet of the trading house, I will naturally be worried, and it has nothing to do with whether I am confident or not." ”

"You have a point." Mr. Yi nodded in agreement, but then changed his words and said: "But as the young owner of He Ji, you should not be timid at any time, compared to arrogance, showing weakness and retreating is what you should not have." ”

"I know." An Ruolan took his words, let out a long sigh, and said wistfully: "I just feel that even if you have endless talents, if you can't fulfill your long-cherished wish, then no amount of effort will be in vain." ”

“……”

Hearing this, Mr. Yi paused. Suddenly asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that you are hurt by love?!" Otherwise, why are you so pessimistic and negative today? ”

His eyes widened, as if he had been greatly frightened.

What a mistake, he made a thousand calculations, but he only missed the point of early love!

Before leaving, the owner clearly instructed that the young owner should not be allowed to fall in love. Now that the young owner not only has a sweetheart, but also was injured by the other party, is he dereliction of duty?

This is simply an insult to his omnipotent stewardship!

Thinking of this, Mr. Yi suddenly had a headache, his waist was sore, and he was bored to do anything.

An Ruolan looked at Mr. Yi who suddenly fell into decline in confusion. Puzzled: "Even if I am hurt by love, what are you doing with decadence?" "It's just inexplicable.

Mr. Yi drooped his shoulders, which were not strong, and said weakly: "What does it have to do with me that you are hurt?" I'm just ashamed of my boss's entrustment, I didn't take a good look at you, and let you go astray in early love. ”

"What puppy love? What are you talking about, sir? An Ruolan was confused.

Mr. Yi wiped his face in frustration. Said: "The so-called early love is to promise each other to a man before adulthood, which is what the owner sued me." ”

"......" An Ruolan was silent, and vaguely remembered that her father-in-law had mentioned to her not to fall in love, and after thinking about it, she asked: "What does the father-in-law mean, you can't wait until after the marriage...... to be able to ......"

She seemed a little embarrassed to speak, and hesitated for a while. Only then did he continue: "Can you associate with men?" But most of the women in the boudoir are married at the age of twelve, and they can associate with men after they are married, if it is according to the will of their father-in-law. Wouldn't it be necessary to wait until after the marriage was made? ”

If that's the case, wouldn't she have to wait another three years?!

For a moment, she was oscillating between listening to her father-in-law's words and being with Wei Xing.

When he was in a dilemma, Mr. Yi shook his head, and An Ruolan seemed to see the dawn. However, Mr. Yi's next words made her petrify in an instant.

"The meaning of the owner. A girl is considered an adult at the age of eighteen. Mr. Yi cast a sympathetic look.

After what seemed like a long, but in fact short silence. An Ruolan said without changing his face: "Although I regard my father-in-law as my own father, my father and mother are still there, and the marriage is the order of my parents, and this matter is still up to my father and mother." ”

Mr. Yi squinted at her, "When the owner comes back, the young owner might as well go and talk to the owner in person." ”

An Ruolan's face turned red, and she was so choked that she couldn't speak.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing." Mr. Yi patted his forehead and said, "The Zhong family has sent a message, saying that Old Madam Zhong is sick and asked you to go to the Zhong Mansion to serve the sick, which was yesterday." ”

"Yesterday's incident, you only sued me today." This time, An Ruolan squinted his eyes with disdain.

"Isn't that too busy?" Mr. Yi spread his hands painlessly.

An Ruolan involuntarily slipped four words in her heart - "a raccoon dog", she seemed to understand why her father-in-law asked Mr. Yi to help teach her.

"I have a plan in mind for this." Retracting his gaze, An Ruolan said unhurriedly.

Mr. Yi bent the corners of his eyes and smiled softly and harmlessly, "Oh? I don't know what the young owner has to do? ”

"The best way is-" An Ruolan raised her head to meet his gaze, and suddenly showed a bright and innocent smile to the extreme, and said sweetly: "Leave it to you, sir, to deal with!" ”

"......" Mr. Yi held the corner of his forehead and pressed the corner of his twitching eye, should he say that if there is a father, there must be a daughter?

The heart was congested for a while, and soon Mr. Yi calmed down, and said sternly: "The subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the young owner." ”

"Mr. Law." An Ruolan smiled dignified and elegant, and bowed her head.

"Don't dare." Mr. Yi also returned the salute and smiled kindly and gently, "Since the subordinates have to deal with the Zhong family, the subordinates must have no time to take care of the banquet, so please ask the young owner to study and understand the rules of the business banquet in the past two days, and add luster to the signboard of He Ji." ”

An Ruolan: Is it too late to regret ...... now?

Naturally, it was too late, as soon as he returned to Qianxunju, An Ruolan was directly locked up and confined in confinement, and only by memorizing the precautions of the banquet, as well as the enemies who had a holiday with He Ji, and the information of the cooperative merchants, could the ban be lifted.

Those two days were dark.

It wasn't until the night before the banquet that An Ruolan was released, but when she wasn't liberated, she didn't even have time to drink tea, so she was dragged and began to try on the banquet costumes.

On the head, neck, hands, body, waist, plus handkerchiefs, purses, sachets and other scattered accessories, it took most of the night to finalize a complete set of clothes, and at this time, An Ruolan was so tired that her eyes were dizzy, her legs trembled, and she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of sleep, otherwise she would have turned her face in a frenzy.

Early the next morning, after finishing the makeup and changing into the clothes selected last night, An Ruolan went out of the bamboo building inn surrounded by a large group of maids and women, and took a boat to the inn in the outer courtyard to change to a carriage, accompanied by four joys and eight yuan.

Mr. Yi sent her to the inn on the shore and did not forget to advise: "Remember, it is better to be domineering than to have stage fright." ”

An Ruolan nodded cautiously, inexplicably a little nervous.

It stands to reason that she is the eldest lady of the family, and her status is noble, so she doesn't have to be afraid of those merchants at all, but when she thinks that she is the only girl who has not left the cabinet at the banquet, she can't help but be afraid.

Mr. Yi saw her uneasiness, and with a look of expectation, he smiled: "It seems that my decision is right." ”

"Huh?" An Ruolan turned her head to look at him suspiciously.

Mr. Yi smiled mysteriously and said, "Listen." ”

An Ruolan was stunned, listened attentively as she said, and the sound of horses' hooves floated into her ears.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far to near, and soon a vigorous figure appeared in the field of vision, and from a distance, it was a little familiar.

"Little Liu!" The clear call was accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, An Ruolan's eyes widened slightly, and he exclaimed: "It's Third Brother Meng!" ”

"Knowing that you haven't reached the time to be alone, I had to invite Sanshao to help." Mr. Yi's old god brushed his sleeves on the ground, and he was dusty.

"Sanshao is the second master of He Ji, so there is no need to wait for any time at this time."

An Ruolan's heart was full of emotion and gratitude, and after hearing this slightly philistine words, it instantly turned into embarrassment.

Saying this, Meng Sanshao had already arrived in front of the two, one turned over and dismounted neatly and chicly, he took two steps forward and rushed to An Ruolan, raised his hand and gave her a flick of the finger on her forehead, and said: "Why is it so useless, it's just to attend a banquet, and you have to be accompanied by someone!" ”

Before An Ruolan could see it clearly, he was conspired against, and he was indignant, and said: "It's not that I want to call you, I have the ability to find Mr. Yi's theory!" ”

"The courage is getting fatter, and you dare to be stubborn, believe it or not, I don't care about you at the banquet?" Meng Sanshao pretended to be fierce and was about to knock her on the head again, An Ruolan hurriedly raised his hand to protect it.

"Ahem," Mr. Yi pretended to cough twice, interrupting the intimate interaction between the two, and arched his hand: "Three Shao, the young owner will take care of you more today." ”

"It's a trivial matter, as long as this girl doesn't run around, I guarantee that she won't embarrass He Ji." Meng Sanshao patted his chest and assured.

Only then did An Ruolan notice that he was wearing a white shirt with flowing dust, silver dark lines shining in the daylight, and the blue embroidery on the cuffs was bright and elegant, which was very eye-catching.

Unconsciously, he was an uninhibited young man, and now he has grown into a handsome young man, and his every move shows a steady and mature charm.

Time is like flowing water, but fortunately, they only change on the outside.

Saying goodbye to Mr. Yi, An Ruolan got into the carriage marked with the badge of congratulations, and under the escort of Meng Sanshao, he went to the place where the banquet was held-Liuyu Pavilion.

Liuyu Pavilion is the largest orchestra in Shengjing City, many nobles and wealthy merchants like to choose here to hold banquets, one of the reasons, Liuyue, the first musician in Shengjing City, only plays here.

The banquet started at noon and ended at the end of the day, which means that in the next time, everyone who participated in the banquet had to spend it in the Liuyu Pavilion, which was a little reluctant for An Ruolan, but fortunately, with Meng Sanshao here, she was still able to endure it.

When they arrived at the door of Liuyu Pavilion, Meng Sanshao dismounted first, and then thoughtfully helped An Ruolan out of the carriage, and the two showed the invitation to the banquet, and were led into the music workshop by the maid waiting outside the door.

Outside the building, the guards, who also came to the banquet, looked at the backs of the two leaving, and their lips pursed into a straight line. (To be continued)

ps: Suddenly disconnected from the network, the mobile phone tried for a long time, and finally boarded up, but it was too late, insisted on a month, and came to such a time at the end of the month, decisively tired and didn't love!
