Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, but it seemed that the courtyard was silent, and no one dared to speak.

Lou Yun and Ji Qingchen sat and stood together, the man looked stunned, and the woman looked up at the fireworks, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lao Siniang gave Ji's mother a look, and wanted her to come out to persuade her, but there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate.

Wang Tuan'er beside Ji Chenhu ran over.

"Big lady—"

He handed the post in his hand to Ji Mo, and said with a smile that the wife of the leader of the Xiongfeng Gang had also booked the courtyard and plain seat of the Buddhist Society in Qinglong Temple, and invited Xu Shuqing to sit there.

San Lang said that Shuqing's body was inconvenient to move around, and asked the eldest lady to help her entertain one or two.

"I think that the Yu family is also at the table. I'm going to run an errand for Lord Lou? ”

After Ji Qingchen read the post from Ji Mo's hand, she remembered that half of the donkeys and horses of the Xiongfeng Gang were from the horse farm under Shu Luyuan's name, and she glanced back at Lou Yun with a smile-

Excellent-Excellent-Small-Say-More-New-Most-Fast-www.uuxs.cc-Lou Yun was still sorting out this mess in his mind, so he naturally nodded and said casually:

"Sit down and come back."

"Okay."

She was discharged from the hospital, and her mothers exchanged glances with Ji Mo, and they all followed her out of the courtyard gate of the house.

In the courtyard, Lou Chun, Lou Cricket and others looked at each other, thinking that this should be regarded as a quarrel.

Lou Yun sat at the table in a daze, and his half-drunk wine woke up.

On the banquet in front of him was the decanting soup that Ji Qingchen didn't plan to bring to his mouth.

……

Ji Qingchen walked along the plum path in the apse and arrived at the Bodhi Essence House, and Chi Shi, the wife of the Xiongfeng Gang, was not a flat-headed commoner.

"Mrs. Wen'an can come here to sit here, the concubine is really unexpected."

She greeted Ji Qingchen in front of the door, and secretly regretted it in her heart.

This time, she carefully arranged to give Xu Shuqing an ugly look, but what she didn't expect to come was the wife room of Lord Lou's betrothed.

"Mrs. Chi is polite, come uninvited, and ask Mrs. Don't blame."

Ji Qingchen knew the origin of this Chi family.

Her mother's family is a civilian in the Wuning Army, although the official is small, she is a capable official who specializes in arranging military food and grass, and she can be regarded as Chi Jibei's cousin.

After some greetings, Chi personally led her into the door and sat down in the main house.

And since the Yu family has arrived in Shanyang City, of course he is at the table.

There are three banquets and singing music inside and outside the house, the screen is blocked, and the flowers are full of flowers under the Buddha lamp.

Yu Shi is not qualified to sit at the same table with Ji Qingchen.

There are two tables in the main house, two tables in the outhouse, and two tables under the porch.

This is like the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the vertical arch hall, the official family banquet for civil and military officials, and Ji Qingchen's identity can only sit on the hall corridor.

Now she is the lady of Bapinwen'an County in Chuzhou, and she is the big proprietor of the Huang family's warehouse, she does not rely on her younger brother and Lou Yun in terms of wealth and power, she is enough to sit as the chief in the main house.

When Ji Qingchen entered the house, Yu Shi stood up with everyone on the table under the porch and greeted him.

Ji Qingchen glanced over.

As early as when she was in Huaiyin, she was identified by Lou Yun.

At this time, I saw her twenty-two or three-year-old appearance, with a thin face, forehead hair and eyebrows, and a faint finch on the nose.

She combed Mochizuki's bun and obliquely inserted a big golden hairpin that a merchant girl couldn't use at all, which was completely a celebration to be married, but the reluctant smile between her eyebrows could still be seen.

What's even more surprising is that there is another familiar woman sitting with Yu's family.

Ji Qingchen's footsteps in the courtyard were sluggish.

She recognized that a lady at the same table as the Yu family was actually the official Lin Thief Niang who had been to Tangfang with Lou Yun at the beginning.

Now she is not a musician at the table, but a light eyebrow, and a pearl hairpin.

She wore her hair in a dignified bun and had a docile expression, and she wore a long silk snow-colored dress covered with long beeswax-pink curly grass stripes.

Apparently also the wife of a serious businessman.

Chi obviously knew that Lin Jiaoniang was Lou Yun's old acquaintance in Quanzhou, so he was a little uneasy, and looked at Ji Qingchen's face carefully.

"The Buddha lamps in this garden are new and interesting. I stopped. Please also forgive Mrs. Chi. ”

Ji Qingchen laughed, walked into the room and sat down again.

Mrs. Chi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said euphemistically: "Today's invitations are all the official and business relatives of the Han family's business, and Mrs. Wen'an is also asked to bear with me if I am not careful." ”

Ji Qingchen knew that she didn't expect her to come, otherwise there would be no Lin Thief.

However, when her eyes swept over the officials and relatives at the same table, she knew that this was a banquet without a good banquet, and there was no good banquet at the banquet.

In addition to Chi's family, the rest are Mrs. Benzhou, Mrs. Judicial Soldier, and Mrs. Sihu Soldier, although the official products are only nine grades, they are all local officials who have a close relationship with the Xiongfeng Gang.

The Xiongfeng Gang has been in the local area for decades, and they have been communicating with these officials and eunuchs every year, and they have nothing to do with each other secretly.

She didn't think that Xu Shuqing would definitely suffer.

But just by waiting for the meeting, the Yu family must come up with everyone to toast, and Chi's few words can make Xu Shuqing angry.

Ji Chenhu has no scruples outside, and Xu Shuqing is indispensable to be ridiculed in the female family.

joked that her family was born in a foreign country, her behavior was vulgar, and she actually rushed to raise an outer room with the Khitans.

But for Ji Qingchen, she didn't dare to do this.

The officials and relatives present had already seen Ji Qingchen's arrival, so they naturally knew that the original Hongmen banquet seemed unlikely.

Many people still have to look at the opportunity to have a relationship with Mrs. Lala of Wen'an County from the capital.

Just to inquire about the news in the capital......

……

In another courtyard across the plum path from the Bodhi Retreat, Wang Shiqiang entered his room in the inner courtyard by changing clothes.

Zuo Ping quietly stepped forward and gave him strong tea.

After taking two sips, he frowned and said:

"Got news?"

“…… Not really. ”

Zuo Ping felt that the messenger who picked him up this time was really embarrassing, "Mrs. returned to Mingzhou City and has been waiting for the old man and the old lady in the old mansion. And it didn't ......"

Lou Luanpei did not have any secret contact with the foreign man.

Zuo Ping didn't dare to say this.

The son-in-law of his family knew from his aunt that his wife Lou Luanpei had a scandal about being uneasy in the room before she got married, so he has been secretly investigating and investigating for two or three years.

Later, Ji Niangzi and Chen Gongzi got engaged, and Gongzi resigned from the Lang official of the household department and devoted all his thoughts to Taicang Academy.

I didn't talk about it again.

But now that the prince was consecrated as a saint, he saw that it was a happy event, and he asked him to arrange a secret investigation of the matter before leaving Beijing this time.

Zuo Ping could only persuade quietly:

"Childe, Mrs. either lives in the mansion in the capital or in the old mansion in Mingzhou, where would her son not know?"

The old mansion in Mingzhou is full of the eyes of the Wang clan, how could she make a mistake?

The mansion in the capital was the new house that Wang Shiqiang bought to marry Ji Qingchen, and it was his own person inside and out.

Even if Lou Luanpei has a high wrist, he can say everything in the inner house, but there are two aunts in the house, who are wise and wise, and there are new concubines from Shaoxing Mansion.

If there is a foreign man coming in and out or communicating with the news, it is impossible for the news to reach Wang Shiqiang's ears. R1152
