Chapter Seventy-Eight: An Invitation to the Banquet
As soon as he fell, Qin Changhuan quietly broke away from the man's arms and thanked him softly: "Thank you, son." ”
"Girl, be careful."
The man also whispered, but there was a flash of interest in his eyes, interested in the action she had just pushed away.
"I still have some things, so I won't accompany my son."
"Eh, don't go." Seeing that Qin Changhuan hurriedly said something and was about to leave, Tang Ruoxu raised his hand and stopped her, "Girl, I saved you, I wonder if you can tell your name?" ”
"This son." Qin Changhuan didn't want to entangle with such a person now, so he said patiently: "Although you saved me, there is no need for me to tell you my name." ”
Tang Ruoxu was rarely choked.
He paused, then stopped her again, and said gently and politely, "I wonder what the girl is going to do?" I wonder if I can have this honor to protect the girl? ”
"It's not a secret, the businessman who came from Dongshen in the next book is now the first time to come to the imperial capital, I just hope that the girl can take the time to take her to visit the imperial capital."
A merchant from East Ember?
Qin Changhuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his eyes.
Originally, there were four countries on this continent, that is, Northern Yan, Eastern Ember, Western Chu, and Southern Qin.
Later, Southern Qin was destroyed by Northern Yan, and in terms of strength, Northern Yan became the most powerful party among them, especially after Yan Heng became the emperor of Northern Yan, he faintly had an ambition to unify.
But it's just ambition.
Yan Heng is indeed a very ambitious person, he definitely doesn't like that during his tenure, Beiyan didn't have any big achievements, and he was also very conceited.
The current situation is that the other two countries are also aware of his ambitions, and they are also afraid and wary of him, so Yan Heng is not easy to do.
However, among these countries, Ember is the most mysterious of them. He basically didn't show up much, and Qin Changhuan didn't know much about this country.
Qin Changhuan didn't leave in a hurry when he heard this, and looked at this person quietly.
This person is quite handsome, but the clothes on his body really don't look like the clothes that a businessman can wear, clothes made of fine silk, how can an ordinary businessman have such wealth?
As if to dispel her doubts, Tang Ruoxu explained seriously: "The clothes on my body are just to come to the emperor without losing face, and I deliberately asked someone to do it." ”
"It also cost a lot of money, girl, don't get me wrong."
Qin Changhuan raised his eyebrows, his gaze swept over the jade pendant he was wearing on his waist, his expression was faint and did not change much, and he turned around and left by himself.
She didn't speak, even if it was a tacit acquiescence.
Tang Ruoxu naturally followed behind her, looking at the festive scenes on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Which prince is this who wants to get married?" It's so grand. ”
"It's the emperor who wants to get married, and the momentum is naturally bigger." Qin Changhuan's tone was extremely calm, and his pace was not fast, "This is the ceremony of the queen." ”
"Oh, oh, no wonder." Tang Ruoxu agreed, looked at it curiously for a while, then retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Changhuan, "Girl, what's your name?" My name is Tang Ruoxu. ”
Qin Changhuan: "I won't tell you." ”
Tang Ruoxu said with some dissatisfaction: "Girl, you can't do this, but I told you my name, and the courtesy is still exchanged, so you should sign up for each other." ”
"I don't have the word for courtesy here."
Qin Changhuan replied casually, but the shape of the jade pendant he had just seen unconsciously appeared in his mind.
The jade pendant has a good texture, it is extremely transparent, and it reflects a very beautiful light under the sunlight, which shows that this jade pendant is very valuable.
Can an ordinary businessman afford this jade pendant?
Qin Changhuan was skeptical in his heart, this Tang Ruoxu looked like just a dashing businessman, but just after saving her, he could see that he was strong in martial arts.
The martial arts are strong, and with such a jade pendant, it is not good to guard against it.
When he met such a person, he had to be careful with his every move, Qin Changhuan thought like this, so he didn't have the interest to visit the imperial capital.
You have to rest assured to think about the people around you all the time, this feeling is really a little uncomfortable, and Qin Changhuan is not used to it.
Tang Ruoxu looked at all kinds of things in the imperial capital, and kept saying: "There are quite a lot of things in this imperial capital, which is suitable for business." ”
"Girl, just tell me your name, and take it as a reward for saving your life."
It's just that he can't say a word, and he will return to the topic of names, which is really a bit of a headache.
Qin Changhuan was a little annoyed by his quarrel, so he had to say, "My surname is Qin." ”
"Miss Qin."
Tang Ruoxu shouted happily, and then praised him: "Qin's surname is good, I think the Southern Qin royal family was surnamed Qin at the beginning, it seems that you definitely have a good life, girl." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as this person heard this surname, he mentioned Nan Qin, and Qin Changhuan didn't have a good impression of this person anymore, so he walked forward with a calm face.
Tang Ruoxu chased after her, "Miss Qin, don't go so fast, I still have some questions for you." ”
"This ...... Who is the emperor of Northern Yan going to marry? Can you tell us a little bit about that? ”
He asked gracefully.
"Miss Helan Family."
Qin Changhuan replied succinctly, even though Tang Ruoxu had been shouting behind her for a while, her steps still didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down, let alone waiting for him.
"That's right." Tang Ruoxu touched his chin and said, thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard of it in Dongshen." ”
Qin Changhuan: "......"
They are about to reach the destination of Qin Changhuan's trip, Tang Ruoxu has been following behind and is reluctant to leave, Rao is no matter how good her patience is, she has no patience at the moment.
She turned around and said seriously: "Tang Gongzi, the little woman thanks you for saving your life, but the little woman really has some urgent matters to deal with now, so Tang Gongzi should not follow anymore." ”
Without waiting for Tang Ruoxu to say anything, Qin Changhuan immediately blocked his words, "Besides, Tang Gongzi came all the way from Dongshen, so he must have his own things to do." ”
"In that case, the little woman will not accompany you, I hope you have fun in the East Ember."
After that, he turned around again and didn't pay any attention to Tang Ruoxu, and walked straight towards the destination.
Qin Changhuan said three sentences in a row, which was reasonable and polite, so that there was no room for refutation.
Tang Ruoxu didn't catch up this time.
He stood in place, looking at her departing back, and after a moment of pause, he suddenly laughed, "Interesting, interesting." ”
Tang Ruoxu touched the jade pendant on his waist, and the good material made it very comfortable to touch, which made people a little loved.
However, he remembered Qin Changhuan's performance just now.
If his observation was not wrong, she should have taken a more look at his jade pendant? Just by virtue of a jade pendant, do you know that he is not an ordinary person?
Interesting, really interesting.
Tang Ruoxu looked at the festive streets around him and thought, it seems that this Beiyan is much more fun than he imagined.
……
Back in Chongyue Mansion, there was already some sunset on the horizon.
She's been going out lately, usually going out in the morning and coming back in the evening, usually at this time.
As Chongyue Jiu, no one will care about her at all, except for Xiao Yu, basically no one will come to her yard, so it is convenient for her to go out.
The two of them also guessed her time, and waited early, "Girl." ”
"Well, is there anything out of the ordinary?"
This is a sentence that Qin Changhuan has to ask every time he comes back, but basically the answer he gets is that there is nothing abnormal.
Everything went smoothly.
Today, however, it went well, but the next day something unpleasant happened.
Lady Chongyue came to her yard again.
Mrs. Chongyue had a smile on her face, she had already worked hard to be kind, but no matter how you looked at it, this smile was a little ill-intentioned, "Jiu'er, mother picked out a few clothes for you, which were worn at the banquet, you can come and see." ”
Xiao Yu and Qin Changhuan were in the courtyard, and they couldn't help but have some doubts when they heard this.
Banquet? What banquet?
Qin Changhuan is still under confinement, even if there is any banquet, she is not allowed to go.
So what does Lady Chongyue mean by these words now?
Mrs. Chongyue covered her lips as if she was in a good mood, with a slight smile on her lips, "Isn't this the young lady of the Helan family who is about to marry the emperor now?" ”
"Before the marriage ceremony, there will be a banquet, and this banquet will be an ordinary celebration, and all the ministers must go."
"After all, this is a major event for the emperor, and the surrounding countries will also send envoys over, and this time, Miss Helan actually invited you."
Such a banquet is extremely grand, and many people with heads and faces will show their faces on it, so the ladies of each family are generally riveted to dress up.
But it must be dressed appropriately, otherwise it will cause disgust. Generally, the people invited are determined by the woman, and Qin Changhuan didn't expect Helan Qingyi to invite her, who is now Chongyuejiu.
The relationship between the Helan family and the Chongyue family has always been quite good, and it is not strange to be invited, but it is strange that she was invited to be such a nobody.
Mrs. Chongyue was in a really good mood today, and deliberately told her: "Jiu'er don't worry, I also asked the emperor about this matter." ”
"The emperor has already agreed to let you attend this banquet, so you don't have to worry about your grounding."
It stands to reason that this should be happy news.
But such an invitation, coupled with Mrs. Chongyue's unusual happiness, Qin Changhuan always had a particularly bad premonition, in short, it shouldn't be a good thing.
Xiao Yu also realized it, and said with a smile on her lips: "Big lady, let's not go to Jiu'er, right?" She has never been to such a big banquet, and she is afraid that she will lose the face of our Chongyue Mansion if she doesn't understand the rules. ”
