Chapter 45: Pretentiousness

Qin Lan invited two teachers from the college who had a good relationship this afternoon to come to her home to attend the banquet.

Qin Song, the right minister, is in a high position, and has many opportunities to come into contact with food and wine from all over the world, Qin Song himself only drinks occasionally, and the demand for fine wine is not strong, so the wine he accepts from all over the world is basically cheap for his sister and two sons.

Qin Lan had also held a wine banquet before, putting out more than 100 kinds of fine wine at one time, and inviting colleagues from the academy to taste the fine wine together, which helped her earn a lot of good reputation.

Later, Qin Lan thought it was too troublesome to hold a banquet, so he hadn't held a banquet for two years.

This time, his nephew Qin Bai had an accident and was expelled from Longxiang Academy, which hit Qin Lan deeply.

In the past, with her background and strength, she was almost invincible in Longxiang Courtyard, she could get anything she wanted, and she could get the results she wanted if she wanted to suppress anyone, without considering the importance of connections.

Even the elders of Longxiang Academy, most of them were tolerant of her, and Qin Lan seemed to have become the "right minister" of Longxiang Academy.

Qin Lan was proud of this and felt that she could do anything.

However, this incident irritated her deeply, and all the people who had clinged to her in the past were silent, and no one stood up to speak for her, so much so that she watched her nephew be expelled from Longxiang Temple.

She scolded those guys at home for all the bastards who sought advantage and avoided harm, she felt that she had been in the Longxiang Courtyard for all these years, and there were no subordinates around her who were willing to stand up for her.

This huge gap is about to drive Qin Lan crazy.

Just when Qin Lan was about to go crazy and wanted to make a big fuss, she remembered her nephew Qin Bai's request, which calmed her down, and after she calmed down, she returned to the right prime minister's Qin Mansion to ask for her brother's help.

It only took one night for Qin Song, the right minister, to make her understand many life principles and grow a lot.

After returning to Longxiang Courtyard, Qin Lan's behavior was much more low-key than before, and at the same time, she held a banquet again, but it was different from the previous banquet, this time she only invited two people to the banquet.

Two Qin Lan's suitors.

The wine banquet is set up next to the lotus pond at home, there is no stool, only a wine table, a long table is laid, and three people sit on the ground, while tasting wine, while admiring the flowers and fish in the pool.

Qin Lan was lazily lying on her side on the long seat, with a splendid cushion on her left elbow, and her slender and beautiful figure was undoubtedly displayed. She leaned up and drank, her long neck exposed, and her fair skin was smeared with a layer of pink, which added a bit of beauty to her.

Her slender fingers beckoned, and the maid who was waiting by filled her glasses.

The red liquor is poured into the jasper-like glass, and the contrast is very enchanting.

The two teachers sitting opposite each other saw this scene and raised their wine glasses to drink, moistening their dry throats.

"You have also been reading the Tao Te Ching for a while, do you have any experience?" Qin Lan twisted the cup with one hand and supported her cheeks with the other, looking at the scenery in the pool in a daze.

Yuan Benshao, who was tall and thin in a white robe, hurriedly put down his wine glass, bowed to the lazy and sexy Qin Lan, and said earnestly: "I have a little experience, Qin Lan, if you want to refer to it, I will get it for you immediately." ”

Qin Lan glanced at him and was noncommittal.

Li Ruofu, who was sitting more comfortably next to him, glanced at Yuan Benshao beside him, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, he shook his head slightly, and continued to drink with a wine glass in his hand, without interrupting Yuan Benshao's words.

Qin Lanmei glanced at Li Ruofu, who was calm and calm, and then withdrew her gaze. Thinking of her brother Qin Song's advice to treat people she could rely on politely, she was patient, raised her glass and drank slowly, waiting for Yuan Benshao's boastful talk to end.

After talking for a long time of tea, Yuan Benshao's mouth was dry, and when he saw that the other two were drinking in silence, he didn't say a word, and gradually felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he stopped talking.

Qin Lan endured the unhappiness in her heart and raised her glass to Yuan Benshao and praised: "That's right." ”

Yuan Benshao was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass and touched Qin Lanyao.

Li Ruofu, who was a little tired from listening to the side, drank all the wine in the cup, compared to Yuan Benshao, who was restrained and responsible everywhere, he seemed more leisurely, as if he often came here to drink, beckoned, and motioned to the maid to pour the wine for himself.

Qin Lan simply praised and moved his gaze from Yuan Benshao to Li Ruofu.

"What about Mr. Li?" Qin Lan asked softly.

Qin Lan's temper is not good, but she is gentle, it is so natural, Li Ruofu is drunk, listening to Qin Lan's distinctive tone, he feels even more itchy in his heart.

Li Ruofu swallowed the wine in his mouth, calmed down, and then slowly said, "I don't know what Teacher Qin thinks?"

Qin Lan's eyes paused, and then he came back to life, gradually full of smiles.

She shook the wine glass lightly in her hand, and said with a pretended ashamed expression: "I, my understanding is too low, and I haven't participated in any insights." ”

Li Ruofu smiled when he heard this, pretended to sigh, and replied quite sensibly: "It turns out that Teacher Qin and I are both hard-working people." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lan's heart shrank violently, not moved, but disgusted by this greasy.

Yuan Benshao listened and watched, and gradually figured out in his heart that what Qin Lan wanted was not his understanding of the Tao Te Ching, but that he did not understand the Tao Te Ching.

He couldn't help but scold himself in his heart that he was impulsive again, if he heard Li Ruofu's words first, he would definitely not say those words before.

"Mr. Li doesn't have to be ashamed, no one in our entire Longxiang Academy has yet to understand the Tao Te Ching, and we are not bad. Qin Lan smiled happily, as if she didn't hint at anything.

Li Ruofu smiled, understanding that Qin Lan was aiming at Xia Yi's "Tao Te Ching", he didn't answer, and drank all the wine in his cup.

Yuan Benshao expressed his mistake before, and he immediately made up for it at this time.

"Qin Lan, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly for you!"

Qin Lan was slightly annoyed in her heart, you just know it in your heart, why do you still have to say it? Is it because others don't have enough opportunities to grab the handle?!

Li Ruofu sneered, disdainful of Yuan Benshao, who only knew how to cultivate, this kind of person could only be commanded by someone to charge into battle, and it was more difficult for him to think about problems with more brains than to ascend to the sky.

However, Qin Lan was already very satisfied, at least she could trust the two people in front of her.

Just as Qin Lan was slowly cultivating her feelings, she suddenly heard a commotion not far away.

"It's not good at that in the academy, it's not very quiet. Qin Lan endured his temper and did not explode, but waved impatiently and sent his subordinates to check what was going on.

After a while, the maid hurriedly came over and whispered in Qin Lan's ear.

"Smack!~"

There was a crisp sound in Qin Lan's hand, and Li Ruofu and Yuan Benshao watched Qin Lan crush the wine glass in his hand.

"Yin ~ Chu ~ Jade !!"

Qin Lan could no longer suppress the irritability in her heart, and gritted her teeth and pronounced a name.

"Teacher Qin, be cautious. Li Ruofu hurriedly reminded Qin Lan that the name she was chanting through gritted teeth was a member of the royal family.

"I'm talking in my house, why should I be cautious!" Qin Lan lost his temper.

The art of patience didn't last long, and Qin Lan finally broke the gong.
