Behind him, there was the sound of several carriages marching in parallel, from far and near.

Ah Tao looked back, only to see several gorgeous carriages with lanterns with the words "Han", "Luan", "Luo" and "Yin" hanging on the front of the carriage were speeding towards them, and each carriage was surrounded by several small maids and maids, and the clothes of the little maids and maids were also different next to the carriage with lanterns with different words hanging on the front of the carriage.

Han, Luan, Luo, and Yin are the names of the famous clans of Yin'an.

The banquet that will be held on the Zhou boat tonight should be a banquet of the Yin'an clan, which respects the Xiang clan. Ah Tao has stayed in Xiangfu for the past few days, although most of the time except eating and sleeping is to communicate with Yunrong Yihuangmu, who has been given the name by Yan Wenjing, but in her spare time, she will still condense her five senses and learn some useful news by eavesdropping on the chatter of the little maids and maids in the mansion.

Han, Luan, Luo, and Yin are the four most prestigious and powerful clans among the many clans that are attached to the Xiang clan.

Later, there were some carriages coming one after another, on the luxury of the carriage, as well as the charm of the little maid and maid who accompanied it, compared with the four clans, obviously inferior, the front of the carriage did not hang a lantern with the name of the clan, should be attached to some small clans of the Xiang tribe.

The nobles stepped down from the carriage in costume.

Regardless of age, men and women, and officials, they all bowed to the ground in the direction of Xiangyu's black nanmu carriage with great respect.

"See Childe!"

The corner of the pale cyan white jade curtain in front of the black nanmu carriage was lifted by a fair-skinned and slender hand with distinct bones, and the raccoon slave stepped forward and took the curtain to open it widely, and a young man in white slowly walked down from the carriage.

The young man is dressed in white jade, noble and noble, with a delicate face, a peerless demeanor, the lake wind rolls up the corners of his clothes, and floats like a feather and a fairy who volleys away in the air.

The corners of Xiangyu's mouth hooked up a very shallow smile, and he slowly raised his hand towards the nobles who were kneeling down in front of him, with a bit of nonchalant expression in his expression.

The nobles rose one after another.

The people standing on the side of the Xiangfu all bowed to the nobles on the opposite side.

Subsequently, Xiangyu was held by the stars and walked on the boat by the nobles.

The long-standing servants on the boat welcomed the nobles of each clan to the living room one by one, and Adao was hesitating whether to follow, when she saw that Hayabusa had arrived in front of her.

"Come with me. Seeing Hayabusa whispering to Adao, he turned around and walked in the other direction.

Ina nodded, and quickly followed, following the falcons in the opposite direction of the crowd, they climbed one floor, then went around to the stern of the boat, and descended a staircase path to the main hall.

After a little detour, he entered the living room through another passage with few people, and saw that the Falcon was so skilled in leading the way, also because he had been to this boat several times with his son before.

Seeing Hayabusa taking Adao towards Xiangyu.

The hall is extremely spacious and bright, in the crane copper candlestick, the root jade candle has been lit, every corner of the three sides of the ship wall, the warm jade green luan pattern porcelain bottle is hanging lightly in the air, it contains all kinds of flowers and plants with the use of scattered incense, simple and leisurely, there are bright paper windows on the left and right sides, through the translucent window paper, the dark lake light under the moonlight outside the window can be faintly seen.

Directly in front of the upper position, Xiangyu is dressed in a white jade wide-sleeved brocade robe, delicate little gold crown bundle hair, full of grace and luxury, he lazily leaned on a pear blossom wood couch, holding a cup coated with blue porcelain glaze, is staring at the tea leaves in the cup, surrounded by a leisurely and elegant atmosphere.

The raccoon slave stood near him at the lower side, still wearing the auspicious cloud pattern white jade wide-sleeved shirt, with a black cloth ribbon buttoned at the waist, white socks and plain shoes, looking ahead with a smile on his face, respectful and solemn.

There are three rows of seats on the left and right sides of the below, the men of the Han, Luan, Luo, and Yin clans sit in the first row, the men of the other small clans and the women of the four clans all sit in the second row, and the third row is the women of the small clans.

Ah Tao noticed that the ranking between the four major clans was also exquisite, the Han clan was ranked next to the Xiang clan, followed by the Luo clan, the Luan clan was below the Luo clan, and the Yin clan was at the end.

The closer to Xiangyu, the more noble the clan, according to this order, in the Xiang faction, excluding the Xiang clan, it is the Han clan as the largest.

Ah Tao knows that the Han clan has a great background, it is the second largest clan after the Xiang clan in Yin'anli in the hundred genealogy, although the clan heritage is far inferior to the Xiang clan, which has been established for thousands of years, but it is much deeper than other clans.

Ah Tao followed the Falcon to Xiangyu and saluted Xiangyu on the ground.

Xiangyu on the seat nodded, and Ah Tao and Mi Hayabusa got up, and saw Hayabusa lead Ah Tao to stand behind the side of the tanuki slave, while he himself retreated, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The banquet was about to begin, and everyone at the first place got up, walked to the center, knelt down to Xiangyu, and said respectfully in unison: "Gongzi Wan'an!"

"Get up. As always, the voice was cold and elegant, with a bit of nonchalance.

After the formal salute, the dignitaries returned to their seats.

The little maidservants and maids rushed in, served delicious food and wine, and served the nobles for dinner.

They were followed by a long line of musicians dressed in wide-sleeved robes and black satin around their waists, who sat in the corners with musical instruments and played the sheng.

The sound of silk and bamboo started, the banquet was staggered, the nobles talked about the wine, and the atmosphere of the scene became hotter.

A few glasses of wine, Xiangyu's eyes were slightly misty, he described lazily lying alone on the head, without saying a word, occasionally a noble person came forward to toast, he only raised a glass to respond to one or two, and then fell into silence.

Ah Dao, who was standing on the side, was idle at this time, peeking at who the four clans were, she learned the appearance of a raccoon slave, straightened her back, looked ahead, and tried to make a solemn style, and with the help of the afterglow, she crossed the faces of the nobles of the four clans one by one at the head of the next place.

Most of the nobles here have never seen faces.

In the Xiang clan, except for Xiangyu, there was only a middle-aged man in a purple and gold robe, but it was not the old patriarch Xiang Qian.

Among the Han family, there were two men and two women, Ah Tao guessed, and the lady behind one of the screens should be the fragrant beauty Han Tang Pear who was at the seedling selection meeting in the ghost courtyard before, and then among the male guests, her brother who was not very bright today seemed to have not come.

The Luo clan under the Han clan only came to Luo Zi'an, and his two brothers did not come.

At this moment, Luo Zi'an was like yesterday, looking at the Xiangyu at the top with a look of admiration and longing, and his expression seemed to be appreciating a priceless and flawless jade.

Ah Tao couldn't help muttering in his heart, this second son of Luo must be here for his son.

It's just a pity that Xiangyu hasn't given him a look since he came in, and he doesn't care, he is still happy.
