As long as others think that Ningxia Qing and the Gu family have a close relationship, no one will dare to underestimate Ningxia Qing from now on, and Ningxia Qing's reputation will be even louder.

And Yao Sanxing is a person who wants to stammer when he sees Deputy Lieutenant Xue, how could he miss the opportunity to show favor to the Gu family? Even if it is just for the sake of Gu's face, Yao Sanxing will inevitably start to consider cooperation with Ningxia Qing.

Sure enough, Yao Sanxing began to rub his chin, looked at the batch of clean satin, and pondered a little tangled.

The rest of the people present were all sorted.

Xiao Jingyuan smiled and raised his glass to congratulate.

Cuiyu was so happy that she pinched her fingers fiercely, for fear that she would lose her temper on such an occasion and embarrass Ningxia Qing.

Second Master Ning's face seemed to twitch a little, as if he was suppressing the rise of the corners of his mouth. And the faces of Tan Wenshi, Ning Zhiheng and the rest of their peers were indescribably bitter.

Especially Tan Wenshi, it seems that in addition to being depressed, there are other emotions, but Ning Xia Qing just glanced at it and never looked at Tan Wenshi again, she didn't want to think deeply about what Tan Wenshi was thinking at the moment, and what his emotions were.

Hua Caiyuan's presentation of "merit consummation" is the most unexpected thing today, which made everyone's jaws drop today. The rest of the merchants who exhibited the materials were the same as everyone imagined, and there was nothing very surprising, and after these people exhibited the materials, the process of selling and showing off their strength was over.

Deputy Lieutenant Xue immediately signaled to the servant beside him, and the servant immediately understood, and went down to order, and soon, several servants brought several thriving green bamboos in the hall, occupying the position that the merchants had just sold to Yao Sanxing, which was not only announcing the end of the sales process, but also showing the strength of the Xue Mansion.

At this time, it is this place again, how can there be green bamboo? But Deputy Lieutenant Xue was able to get this rare green bamboo, or so many green bamboos that were growing vigorously. Placing so many green bamboos here not only looks elegant and tasteful than ordinary utensils, but also shows the financial resources and status of Xue Mansion more than ordinary utensils.

After the vassally elegant green bamboo was arranged, more than a dozen singing and dancing girls in Xue's mansion came up, all of them were wearing the same clothes, their bodies and postures were exactly the same, although their faces were different, but they were all beautiful young girls, and I don't know how much thought Deputy Xue had put into finding such a bunch of wonderful people.

With so many beautiful women dressed and standing together, and with the same body size and expression, compared with the sisters outside, these housekeepers are more obedient and obedient, even if they just stand there and do not move, they can make many men feel excited, not to mention that they are all talented, so that the warblers in this front hall are singing and dancing, and the sound is smoky.

Deputy Lieutenant Xue ordered people to send more wine, and the wine was all handsome little guys, and their appearance was not inferior to those singing and dancing girls, and even more intoxicating teenagers than those women, Pan sideburns and deep waist, wonderful appearance, all soft and sentimental, so many handsome little guys, it was more difficult to find than those singing and dancing girls.

And Deputy Lieutenant Xue actually collected so many wonderful people in the world, so that these people became his playthings in Xue's mansion. The Xue family is like all decaying families, those in power are indulging in pleasure and have no intention of doing business, and the rest of the family is short-sighted, ignorant and unconscious, endlessly immersed in the phantom of wealth and nobility of the present.

Vice Lieutenant Xue toasted everyone in the hall and asked the guests not to be polite, but to enjoy themselves. Everyone understood that for a merchant, having fun did not mean indulging oneself in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, but that one no longer had to sit upright, but could go directly to the buyer or seller of his choice.

All the merchants left the table to stagger with the cups and cups of others, Ningxia Qing didn't have time to move, Dong Zizhen went out to Kan Dashan, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help laughing, anyway, Dong Zizhen did this kind of thing, and it did save her strength. She picked up her teacup leisurely, intending to observe the situation in the hall first.

Deputy Lieutenant Xue was flattering each other with several officials, Xiao Jingyuan, and Yao Sanxing, and Xue Shaoqing was sitting not far away, but he didn't dare to come forward to talk at will, but only dared to wait respectfully.

At this moment, Xue Shaoqing glanced at Ning Xia Qing, Ning Xia Qing was startled, only to see Xue Shaoqing looking at her with a somewhat complicated expression, she pretended to toast calmly, and then pretended to be indifferent to avoid her gaze.

Ning Xia Qing felt that there seemed to be someone in the crowd looking at her, she looked at it with that strong feeling, it was Ning Zhiheng, Ning Xia Qingli ignored Ning Zhiheng, pretended not to notice, but looked at Ning Zhiheng beside Ning Er, Ning Erye was dealing with the Ning juniors around him, responding to the compliments of those people.

Ning Xia Qing was a little curious about where Tan Wenshi was, so he went to Deputy Lieutenant Xue's side, and sure enough, Tan Wenshi was waiting respectfully not far from Deputy Lieutenant Xue.

Tan Wenshi is Deputy Lieutenant Xue's serious son-in-law, but because Xue Qianqian is only a concubine, Tan Wenshi's status is naturally not as high as that of the husband of the daughter, so he stood aside respectfully and asked those wives to talk to Deputy Lieutenant Xue first.

Those people went to toast Vice Lieutenant Xue one after another, and successfully talked to the most distinguished people in the hall around Vice Lieutenant Xue. Tan Wenshi waited on the side for a while, and finally it was his turn, he stepped forward to salute Deputy Lieutenant Xue, and naturally began to talk to those who were either rich or noble, and the goal was achieved.

At this moment, a subordinate of the Xue Mansion came to find Deputy Lieutenant Xue and said something in Deputy Lieutenant Xue's ear, Deputy Lieutenant Xue nodded immediately, and his mouth seemed to say, "Since she wants to perform, let her come, tell her that if she plays well, Lord Ben will be rewarded", the subordinate nodded and went down, and soon walked in with Zhao Xiang'e, and temporarily sent out the other singing and dancing girls.

Zhao Xiang'e sat beside the piano expressionlessly, serious and focused, the jade fingers were lightly raised, and when the piano was touched, the sound of the piano sounded in vain in the hall, with a lingering sound, ten fingers plucked back and forth on the strings, and the beautiful sound continued to pour out.

Her ease is like a cloud, like an ethereal silk, like a calm and loose one, as if a fold is connected with three sighs, which makes people like drinking fairy wine, and like mountains and flowing water, with a bubbling charm. The sound of the piano is sharp and high, but not abrupt, like the wind blowing the water.

Zhao Xiang'e's piano skills are absolutely exquisite, even if they are not superb, and although her face is plain and warm, the sound of the piano is faintly impassioned, which makes people who are listening to the business can't help but keep silent because of the sound of the piano, and listen to Zhao Xiang'e play the piano seriously.

Such a superb piano sound seems to have endless emotions. If you teach others to sound, they will definitely praise it, even if Zhao Xiang'e's piano skills are not top-notch, but they are better than sincerity, and then look at her age, she can casually pour Xiechu between her fingers and other strength, maybe she is really talented.

Ning Xia Qing looked at Zhao Xiang'e in a daze for a while, she was indeed a little obsessed, but then she lowered her face, knowing that Zhao Xiang'e's finger power today was not casually poured into Xiechu, but because of Zhao Xiang'e's radical relationship at the moment.

Ning Ningqing couldn't help but look up at Xue Shaoqing, only to see Xue Shaoqing really looking at Zhao Xiang'e with a little surprise, but Xue Shaoqing didn't doubt anything, but looked at Zhao Xiang'e who was playing the piano more and more obsessively, and his eyes became more and more forgetful. Ning Ningqing retracted his gaze and didn't look at Zhao Xiang'e again.

Zhao Xiang'e finished the song, and the sound of everyone's conversation began again in the hall one after another. Zhao Xiang'e received the reward from Deputy Lieutenant Xue, and then stood aside and waited.

And Tan Wenshi also talked to the dignitaries and dignitaries around Deputy Lieutenant Xue again, but Gu Xuesong only dealt with a few words, then nodded and left over there and walked to Ning Ningqing's side. Gu Xuesong's appearance was elegant and elegant, and he was calm and comfortable, and said calmly and gently: "Congratulations to the girl on fulfilling her wish." ”

Seeing Gu Xuesong smiling like this, Ning Ningqing was in a good mood and replied with a smile: "Thank you Lord Gu for your help." ”

Gu Xuesong sat down beside her and said with some seriousness: "You don't have to think about whether you thank me or not, you should think about how to explain to Master Liu." Master Liu tried his best to help the girl make such realistic flowers, but the girl cut them like this, if Master Liu knew, Master Liu would probably be so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick. ”

Ning Xia Qing said with a serious face: "I didn't cut it." ”

Gu Xuesong looked at her puzzled, and Ning Xia Qing replied very justifiably and innocently: "You cut it, really." ”

Gu Xuesong's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he turned his head, but he couldn't help laughing a few times, Ning Xia Qing also smiled, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and after calming down his uncontrollable laughter, he finally said seriously: "Although it was cut by Gongzi, it has more or less something to do with me, so after the banquet is over, I will go with Gongzi to make amends to Master Liu." ”

Gu Xuesong pretended to look at her with resentment, and then asked seriously, "Do you still plan to make amends to Master Liu after the banquet?" That's it, anyway, I'm familiar with Master Liu, I'll just go and make amends to Master Liu alone, the girl should go home and rest, isn't she sick? ”

Ningxia Qinghu asked suspiciously, "How did you know that I was sick?" ”

Gu Xuesong sighed and said: "Your face is not the same as usual, and you probably don't know that when Jade is behind you, you will always want to reach out to help you from time to time, but you are embarrassed to do it in public. ”

Hearing Gu Xuesong say this, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help coughing a few times, and then felt that his head was really a little more dizzy, laughed a few times, and whispered: "It's okay, it's just a cold, it's really not a big deal." ”

Gu Xuesong's eyes showed a look of disbelief in her, and said softly: "Since there is a shopkeeper Dong here, you can also take a break, you don't need to take too many things on yourself, and you should let the shopkeeper take on some things alone." ”

Ning Ningqing lowered his eyes, and Gu Xuesong said: "If you are embarrassed to leave the table, I will leave anyway, you just need to follow me." ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at Gu Xuesong with a smile and said, "Okay, but wait a little longer." ”

Gu Xuesong nodded and agreed gently. Ning Xia Qing smiled at Gu Xuesong, then turned his head to Cuiyu and said, "You go and talk to Ah Zheng, let Ah Zheng light the stove in the car now, and I'll leave in a while." ”

Cuiyu looked at Ning Ningqing's eyes, nodded as usual, but her eyes suddenly became serious, and then she put her hands together, and while nervously and unconsciously paying attention to the situation around her, she quickly exited the front hall.

Ning Xia Qing drank the last cup of tea, and Cuiyu also came back, Deputy Lieutenant Xue ordered someone to send some more wine, Ning Xia Qing immediately looked at Gu Xuesong, Gu Xuesong smiled knowingly, got up to say goodbye, Ningxia Qing followed, and after the two said goodbye to everyone, they were ready to go out.

The two walked along the row of green bamboos to the door, at this moment, a small guy came to serve wine with a wine jar, Ningxia Qing turned sideways slightly to avoid, but the little guy suddenly fell, and knocked down the jade, the wine jar in the hand of the little guy was directly broken, and the yellow soup splashed on Ning Ningqing's cloak.

The little guy and Jade screamed in pain at the same time, and the little guy threw herself to the ground, and Jade fell on her back.

Cuiyu's face turned red with shame for a while, and she couldn't help but "sigh", looking extremely painful.

The little guy got up hand and foot together, stretched out his arms directly, and slammed his head to the ground with a heavy thud, shaking like chaff. The little guy was less than ten years old, and his exposed fingers were slender, and he was probably a child with extremely handsome bones. It's just that he kneels like this, so that people can't see his face clearly.

Cuiyu tried several times to get up, but it seemed that she was seriously injured and couldn't do anything, Gu Xuesong immediately reached out to help, and Ningxia Qing also helped on the side, so she helped Cuiyu up, but Cuiyu also stepped on her skirt and almost fell.

Everyone in the hall had already looked over silently, and the scent of broken wine gradually diffused in the hall, as if it was a white smell. Fusanbai is a famous wine of Bachu, not to mention its own value, it is extremely rare to transport it all the way to Meigong County. Such a good wine actually broke a big jar like this!

Moreover, when the wine jar was broken, the wine juice splashed on Ning Ningqing's cloak. Ningxia Qing's cloak is a lead-white tweed cloak, heavy and not easy to wash, it is good to say that there is a little stain on weekdays, but now that such a large piece of yellow soup has been splashed, it is estimated that it cannot be washed off, so it can only be thrown away.

Deputy Lieutenant Xue looked over here, looked at the Ningxia Qing whose cloak was soiled, looked at the embarrassed and painful jade, looked at the broken large altar Fu Sanbai, and then looked at the surprised look of everyone with a lively look.

When he saw that the guests just now had been ruined by this accident, Deputy Lieutenant Xue was furious and reprimanded the kneeling little guy: "What's the matter with you? What the hell! ”

This little guy looks immature, and he can't help but make others a little unbearable, so frightened that he can't even speak, and immediately begs for mercy and confesses: "I...... I didn't mean to...... Spare me......"

This little guy's voice is like a hollow valley orchid, soft and sweet, sweet as soaked honey, making people feel more comfortable, relaxed and happy, not only with the child's unique delicate children's voice, but also very tactful and pleasant, Deputy Lieutenant Xue's face suddenly softened by three points, and shouted: "Don't go and kowtow to Ning Dangjia to make amends!" ”

Deputy Lieutenant Xue immediately said to Ningxia Qing: "I'm sorry Ning is in charge, the subordinates are young and frivolous, and the discipline in my house is not strict." ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled, shook his head, and signaled that it didn't matter, the little guy immediately turned to Ning Ningqing, kowtowed a few times, then raised his face, and said with tears in his eyes: "I was hit just now, but I didn't stand firm, it's because I can't stand Ning Dangjia, I really didn't mean to offend Ning Dangjia!" ”

At the moment when this little guy raised his face, everyone in the hall couldn't help but let out the sound of gasping for air, this little guy like a natural voice was born so ugly!

I saw that this little guy's face was red and swollen, his eyes were swollen and squeezed into a slit, and there were ugly spots on the side of his face, which was simply unappetizing!

Deputy Lieutenant Xue was furious and pointed at this little guy and stumbled: "You...... You ......" Deng Shi reprimanded: "I asked you to accuse Ning Dangjia, you still dare to make excuses, this hall is full of distinguished guests, you dare to frame someone for hitting you?" I don't think you want to live anymore! Someone dragged him out, put him on thirty boards, and threw him out of the house! ”

Immediately someone came to drag people, and the little guy was so frightened that he froze, crying and muttering, "I...... I'm not framed, I'm ......"

Others had already come to drag this little guy, but Cuiyu suddenly knelt down and cried to Ning Xia Qing: "Girl, I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into him!" It was my fault! Girl, spare me! ”

Everyone was stunned, at the moment of the incident, people were busy talking to others, no one saw how things happened, so everyone was confused, but the little guy just said that someone hit him, and Jade said that he hit him, is it really Jade's fault?

Ning Ningqing's face sank, and then he instructed the two Xue Mansion servants who were about to pull the little maid down: "I'm bothering you and wait first." The two servants were stunned, they didn't do anything, they didn't do it, and it wasn't until Deputy Lieutenant Xue nodded on Ning Ningqing's face that the two servants stepped aside as Ning Ningqing said.

Ning Xia Qing lowered his voice and asked unhappily, "Cuiyu, what is going on?" ”

Jade sobbed and said, "Girl, I'm ...... I had just walked out after the girl, and the little guy happened to come over with a drink, and the girl turned sideways to avoid it, but I was ...... I was a little distracted, so I didn't have time to dodge and bumped into him, and it was my fault! Please spare me, girl! ”

Ning Xia Qing was suddenly furious, and shouted at Cuiyu: "You have been with me for so many years, how to do things are still so frizzy!" Do you know that you almost killed this little brother in the Xue Mansion! If he was hit by you and hit by you, would you be able to take care of it? You are my maid, you are ashamed of your virtue, how can you not affect me?! ”

As the master, Deputy Lieutenant Xue pulled out a smile, and said in a dignified and flat tone: "That's it, since the matter is clear, there is no need to continue to investigate." Ning Dangjia is also dissipated, although this maid is a little frizzy with her hands and feet, but she is still upright and dares to take responsibility, so Ning Dangjia should not take this matter to heart. ”

Ning Ningqing's face became worse and worse, and she said coldly: "This girl is frizzy, and it is my people who are lost." I was already a fledgling and was not favored by others, and today such a thing happened, wouldn't it make people laugh at me for not governing my family strictly? ”

Deputy Lieutenant Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "Ning Dangjia can't help but think too much...... However, a maid's hands and feet are a little frizzy, and no one will laugh at Ning in charge because of this. Now that this matter has been figured out, the maid and the maid are unintentional, so let's leave it at that. ”

But Ning Xia Qing didn't mean to settle the matter at all, and only said: "If today's matter is like this, where will I put my face?" She became more and more reluctant: "What's more, it was my maid who made a mistake and caused Lord Xue's jar of good wine to be smashed, how can I act as if nothing happened?" ”

Ning Ningqing's unexpected insistence made Deputy Lieutenant Xue a little embarrassed, Deputy Lieutenant Xue groaned and asked, "I don't know what Ning wants to do?" ”

Ning Ningqing lowered his head, looked up at Deputy Lieutenant Xue again after a while, and said: "My maid is in trouble today, if I am cheeky and do nothing, others will look down on me and laugh at me because of this, but if I can stand up and bear the consequences, others will praise me for being responsible and courageous." ”
