The next day, it was time to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet, and Ran Qiunian took the gift prepared in the morning according to the time mentioned in the post, and took a carriage to the mansion of the lord of Luo'an.

Ran Qiu didn't arrive early or late, and there were already many young ladies of the family waiting in the banquet hall in the garden, gathering in twos and threes, chatting about some interesting things in Beijing.

"Miss Ran, I thought it was you when I looked at it from behind, and when I saw that it was really the case, I didn't expect that you had never liked to join in the excitement, but you actually came here today."

It was the eldest lady of General Wuwei's Mansion who spoke, and she had always been good friends with Ran Qiunian, and when she heard this, Ran Qiunian smiled meaningfully and said softly:

"Since the lord of Luo'an sent the post, how can I not come? Miss Wu has never loved Wenyan, didn't she come too? ”

Miss Wu smiled bitterly when she heard this, but no, she and Angel Luo have always been at odds, and they will never appear at the same banquet, and they will make an exception at the same time, except for the banquet in the palace, it is also the lord of Luo'an.

"I don't know if Miss Ran has heard those rumors about the Lord of Luo'an? I'll mention to you a little more now, you have to keep it in mind, today's chrysanthemum feast, you and I are both foils, and when you see the lord of Luo'an, it's better to stay away. ”

Even Miss Wu, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, has a good temperament, and when it comes to the lord of Luo'an, she can only stay away, so you can imagine how "loud" the reputation of this lord of Luo'an is.

Ran Qiunian naturally knew that Miss Wu was not afraid that the county lord of Luo'an would be in a high position, but that this high-ranking county lord of Luo'an would go crazy without any scruples, but no matter who you are, you will still be ruthless.

No one is not afraid of a madman, and the lord of Luo'an is the most "crazy" among the nobles of the capital.

Ran Qiunian listened to Miss Wu's words, although she wanted to deal with it, but unfortunately she had to go against what Miss Wu told her, not only would she not alienate the Lord of Luo'an today, but she would also take the initiative to approach her.

"Don't worry, I know it."

Despite this, Ran Qiunian was still very grateful to Miss Wu for her kind reminder, on such an occasion, everyone was wise and self-protecting, and wished that anyone who didn't have a long eye would come up to contain the lord of Luo'an and keep them from being targeted.

Miss Wu is also taking a risk when she says this, if Ran Qiunian turns her head and reveals this, so that the county lord of Luo'an hears it, even if Miss Wu is the daughter of a general, she will have to be retaliated against by the county lord of Luo'an.

"It's good that you know it in your heart, Miss Lin is also here today, I know that you are good friends with them, although the temperament of the Lord of Luo'an, if you lose your temper, you don't care about these, but after all, Miss Lin's father is in the Sacred Heart, and you can be more at ease with them."

After Miss Wu finished speaking, she said goodbye to Ran Qiunian and went to a corner of the banquet hall to sit down with her sisters.

Ran Qiunian looked at their location, and saw that these girls were clearly distinguished according to their backgrounds, Wenchen, military generals and clan marquis, each of them formed a small circle, and each other's well water did not interfere with river water.

The military attache is headed by Miss Wu; The civil officials are led by the Lin sisters, who have not yet arrived; The last group is led by the lord of Luo'an and Angelo, and the young ladies who have some in-laws with the royal family.

In the past, the lord of Luo'an was not in the capital, and the leader was Angel, but now that the lord of Luo'an is back, Angel Luo can only be a foil.

Noticing Ran Qiunian's gaze, Angel Luo glared at her dissatisfiedly, but she didn't want to be as provocative as before.

Ran Qiu couldn't laugh, even Angelo, who had no one in her eyes and was used to being arrogant, arrived early today, not to mention others.

It was Liu Yunyao, who disappeared for some reason.

With Liu Yunyao's identity, she couldn't have reached such an occasion to go to the banquet, but she didn't know what means she used to regain An Qiluo's blue eyes.

While thinking about it, the Lin family sisters came in from outside, and Ran Qiunian had to temporarily put aside her thoughts about Liu Yunyao's whereabouts and walked towards Lin Hanshan instead.

"Sister Hanshan, are you here for the banquet alone today?" Ran Qiunian looked at Lin Hanshan's side, and there was no trace of the eldest lady of the Lin family, so she joked with a smile.

"Don't mention it, since that day something like that happened, my mother said that she didn't dare to let her sister out again. However, on an occasion like today, it's a good thing that she doesn't come, and the county lord of Luo'an has a ...... temperament."

Lin Hanshan stopped at the point, and she knew something if she wanted to come.

After the robbery of the embroidery workshop, the friendship between Ran Qiunian and Lin Hanshan has deepened, and there are not as many scruples as when facing others when they speak.

"It's time for the feast, let's sit down first, and I'll talk about what I have to say." Lin Hanshan took Ran Qiunian and sat in the banquet hall.

As the time of the feast approached, the voices of everyone became smaller and smaller, as if they were all worried about something, and gradually no one spoke again.

Ran Qiunian followed them, drinking the tea in her hand without a match, although the lord of Luo'an had not yet appeared, but the shadow she brought to everyone was like a shadow, shrouded in the sky above the banquet hall.

"Have you heard? Why did the lord of Luo'an suddenly leave Beijing and go to Jinling to recuperate for so many years, it is said that he killed the daughter of the senior member of the court in public, so he was demoted to Jinling, and now he suddenly came back, thinking that it was because the rumors passed, the official told the old man to return to his hometown, and no one in Beijing pursued this matter anymore. ”

Ran Qiunian was quietly drinking tea, waiting for the Lord of Luo'an to appear, who knew that someone behind him suddenly quietly pestled himself, lowered his voice and came over to gossip.

It turned out to be the gossip of the county lord of Luo'an, and Ran Qiunian glanced at this girl who couldn't tell the right thing a little helplessly.

Although this girl lowered her voice, there was no sound in the banquet hall, and many people heard the movement here, except for Ran Qiunian.

"This sister laughed, the rumors in the market are the most unbelievable, and the banquet is about to start, sister might as well think about how to win the first place in the Flying Flower Order for a while, today is the chrysanthemum feast, the topic of the Flying Flower Order must be related to the chrysanthemum."

Ran Qiunian recognized that this girl was the daughter of the upstart Lu family, who had just been promoted from outside Beijing and transferred back to the capital in the past two years, Miss Lu didn't know much about the affairs of the county lord of Luo'an, and it was normal, but Ran Qiunian couldn't just watch her get into trouble, so she kindly opened the topic.

It's a pity that Ran Qiunian was kind enough to help her, but Miss Lu didn't react, she hadn't seen the appearance of the lord of Luo'an when he was crazy, and she was very favored at home, so she developed an innocent temperament, and she spoke openly.

"Playing a few laps of flying flowers at the banquet is just a game of entertainment, so why not be too careful? I see that my sister is a little eye-catching, could it be that you are also like me, a newcomer? I wanted to ask you if Lord Luo'an was really ......"

Ran Qiunian looked at the unabashed Miss Lu almost helplessly, and she had already noticed that several girls not far away who had little friendship showed their eyes to see the show on this side.

Lin Hanshan also heard that something was wrong, and was about to say something to stop Miss Lu from continuing, when the voice of the county lord of Luo'an came: "Am I here at some wrong time?" ”

The lord of Luo'an was wearing a pink skirt today, with the most fashionable hairpin ring in Beijing on her head, and the gold, silver and jade were not extravagant, but her knife-like eyes made the originally noisy sounds in the room all be put away in an instant.

Miss Lu was also frightened, and looked at the Luo'an County Lord who appeared in the banquet hall at some point in disbelief, and her heart was a little drumming, and she didn't know if the words she had just said were heard by the Luo'an County Lord.

The next moment, Ran Qiunian saw the county lord of Luo'an walk straight in front of Miss Lu, and asked softly, "Whose daughter are you?" I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, and Beijing has changed so much that many of my sisters don't recognize me. ”

As soon as Ran Qiunian heard the tone of the Luo'an County Lord's words, she felt her heart sank, this girl spoke softly every time, either thinking about any malicious ideas, or when facing Qi Ruoyun, it was obvious that this was the former situation at this time.

But Miss Lu couldn't see the county lord's mind at all, and only thought that the county lord really just wanted to get to know herself, so she stood up a little flattered, and saluted to the county lord of Luo'an and replied:

"My father is Lu Hongzhi, the secretary of Dali Temple."

"Dali Siqing?" After listening to this half sentence, the county lord of Luo'an directly interrupted the words of the county lord of Luo'an, and his tone and attitude changed a lot in an instant, "When did a second-class petty official dare to talk about the county lord casually?" ”

The voice of the county lord of Luo'an was not loud or small, but the coldness of the wind and rain in her tone frightened Miss Lu's face pale, and she only remembered the rumors she had heard about the county lord of Luo'an before, and regretted that she had just spoken freely.

"I, I didn't ......," Miss Lu stammered, wanting to defend herself, but Lord Luoan turned a deaf ear.

"Since Miss Lu is not sincere enough to participate in my chrysanthemum banquet, then Luo An will not stay longer, come and drive Miss Lu out to the county lord."

"The county lord, the county lord is angry, the county lord is angry, I didn't mean to......"

After listening to the words of the county lord of Luo'an, Miss Lu's face turned even paler, if she was thrown out of the palace directly by the lord of Luo'an in broad daylight, how would she gain a foothold in the capital in the future?

Ran Qiunian watched Miss Lu being forcibly driven out by someone sent by the county lord of Luo'an, and opened her mouth.

"Today, all the sisters sincerely came to congratulate the county lord on his return to Beijing, and Miss Lu's unintentional mistake was also because she heard false rumors, not intentionally, and asked the county lord to raise her noble hand, so that those rumors would be self-defeating."

In the silence, the voice of this intercession for Miss Lu was so abrupt that it was eye-catching, and Ran Qiunian was also a little stunned, because this voice was not made by her, but Lin Hanshan, who had been silent for a long time.

Although Miss Lu does not have a deep friendship with them, the fathers of the two families have some comradeship, and Lin Hanshan, as the leader of these young ladies, naturally can't watch the lord of Luo'an send Miss Lu away.

"Are you from the Lin family?" Lord Luo'an looked at the bold girl who dissuaded him for a long time, and asked uncertainly.

Lin Hanshan took a few steps and talked to the county lord of Luo'an, barely suppressing Luo'an's anger, and did not insist on driving Miss Lu out, but her eyes were a little unkind when she looked at Miss Lu.
