【302】The banquet begins
Summary of the previous chapter: Relying on the connection between the source and the soul of space, Ling'er successfully found Ma Xiaoquan
++++++++++++++++++++++++ the next morning, Ling'er and Murong Ziyan got up early, and they came to the door of the bedroom where Ma Xiaoquan was staying, Ling'er unceremoniously pushed the door in, and Murong Ziyan blushed and didn't dare to enter the house.
Not long after Ling'er entered the house, Murong Ziyan heard an exclamation in the house.
After more than a dozen breaths, Ling'er came out with a satisfied clapping of her little hands.
After more than a dozen breaths, Ma Xiaoquan's face was full of red marks and came out.
Murong Ziyan looked at it, Ma Xiaoquan's face was full of hand-pinched marks, and she immediately understood what Sister Ling'er was doing when she went in just now.
Ling'er snorted and said: "Soul is light, Sister Yue'er said that if you want to pay more attention, it will not be such treatment." ”
Ma Xiaoquan rubbed the blue and red marks on his face, and said in his heart: Is it good that this Huayue heart is still in Yecheng, it is obviously me who you bully, and I still pull her name every time, really
Thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan didn't dare to say it, he smiled and said: "Hehe, I know, I know, I don't dare in the future." ”
Ling'er pouted and looked at Murong Ziyan, who was blushing and pretty: "Hmph~ You bad guy, you are responsible for Ziyan's sister." ”
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan asked, "Sister Ziyan and I have done nothing." ”
Ling'er nodded and said, "It's because you haven't done anything for so long that I agreed on behalf of Sister Yue'er." ”
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Ling'er in surprise, and said again after half a sound, "What kind of logic are you?" ”
Ling'er glanced at Ma Xiaoquan and said: "When I came, Sister Yue'er specially explained, she said that you, a stinky man, are very attentive, and you will definitely attack girls after being in Jingzhou for so long, so the main purpose of my visit is to spy on you, Sister Yue'er said, you can only bring back one at most." ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said, "You mean you agreed?" ”
Ling'er blushed and said, "Hmm~"
"Great~" Ma Xiaoquan couldn't care about the blue and red marks on his face, he stepped forward and hugged Ling'er, and kissed Ling'er's pretty face heavily.
Then, without waiting for Murong Ziyan to react, Ma Xiaoquan took Murong Ziyan into his arms again and kissed his forehead gently.
"Little Brother Ma" Murong Ziyan shyly buried her head in Ma Xiaoquan's arms.
Ling'er did not show weakness, and also followed into Ma Xiaoquan's broad chest
"Ahem" A coughing sound suddenly came from behind Ma Xiaoquan and the three of them.
Ling'er and Murong Ziyan broke free from Ma Xiaoquan's arms almost at the same time.
Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and saw that it was a horse soldier.
"Hehe, Brother Tongxin, good morning!"
Looking at the blue and red marks on Ma Xiaoquan's face, Ma Bing's mouth puffed out, and he almost laughed.
After holding it for a while, the horse soldier exhaled a long breath and said, "Hehe, Lord Shangxian, good morning." ”
Ma Xiaoquan didn't seem to care about the blue and red marks on his face, he stepped forward and patted Ma Bing's shoulder and asked, "How are you preparing?" ”
The horse soldier said: "Yiqiē is ready, the banquet will start to welcome guests at noon, and someone has already come early just now." ”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and asked again: "Okay, very good!" ”
The horse soldier's mouth bulged again, and he hurriedly bent down, pinched his thigh fiercely and said, "Lord Shangxian, it's nothing, I'll go down and prepare." ”
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand.
The horse soldier's body trembled slightly, and when he saw Ma Xiaoquan's signal, he hurriedly covered his mouth and ran.
The moment the horse soldiers disappeared in front of the three of them, Ling'er and Murong Ziyan finally couldn't help laughing.
Murong Ziyan was fine, covering her small mouth, but it could be seen from the tears squeezed out of the corners of her beautiful eyes that Murong Ziyan had endured it for a long time.
Ling'er was even more exaggerated, she covered her stomach and giggled, her voice was like a crisp copper bell, which was very good.
Ma Xiaoquan said angrily: "What are you two laughing at, Ling'er, it's not all you who hurt me." ”
Ling'er covered her stomach and smiled: "Who made you distracted, I am teaching you a lesson on behalf of Sister Yue'er." ”
Ma Xiaoquan glared at Ling'er depressedly, completely speechless
At noon, the banquet started on time, and since the horsemen invited all the dignitaries and nobles of Jingzhou, it was inevitable that there would be the kind of people who played big names and deliberately came late.
Cai Mao is one of them.
Everyone waited for a long time, but they didn't see Cai Mao coming, Ma Xiao said wholeheartedly: No wonder our country is not very strong, I have been engaged in this kind of class thinking for a long time so early, hey~.
The horse soldiers were also very depressed, he was the planner of this banquet, and the main purpose of the banquet was to help Lord Shangxian get Cai Mao, but Cai Mao did not appear for a long time, and this brand was inevitably too big.
The horse soldier stepped forward and whispered a few words in Ma Xiaoquan's ear, Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand lightly and responded: "It's okay, we can start first." ”
The horse soldier was surprised and hurriedly said, "This is not very good, right?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Sometimes you care too much, but it will make you very embarrassed, let's start, don't wait." ”
The horse soldier nodded, stepped aside, then raised his head and said loudly, "The banquet begins!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the vocal band immediately played a cheerful song.
Ma Bing is the organizer, it can also be said to be the host, the guests naturally want to come forward to make friends, and Ma Xiaoquan, because he has been staying at Ma Bing's house, is naturally regarded as the host by most of the guests.
However, compared to the scenery in Jizhou, Ma Xiaoquan's reputation in Jingzhou is really not good, and the people who came up to befriend him are basically some small scholars, and none of the older scholars and nobles stepped forward.
Ma Yu leaned into the master's ear and said softly: "Master, these people are too"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "It's okay, the show is still to come." ”
The banquet lasted for almost a stick of incense, Cai Mao came late with the gifts, Cai Mao's arrival immediately caused an uproar, not how hateful or kind he was, but when Cai Mao came, he actually brought more than a dozen beautiful women.
All the guests were speechless, although there will be a selection program called "The Most Beautiful Lady" in this banquet of the horse soldiers, and everyone has brought the lady they think is the most beautiful, but there is no one like Cai Mao, who brought more than ten people at once.
Ma Bing stepped forward, bowed his hand to Cai Mao, and said: "General Cai is really amazing, there are so many beautiful girls in the family, Ma Someone is ashamed to see him today, hehe"
Cai Mao said proudly: "Brother Tongxin is polite, haha"
Ma Xiaoquan also stepped forward, followed by Ling'er, but as for Murong Ziyan, he did not step forward with him.
Ma Xiaoquan arched his hand to Cai Mao and said, "General Cai, hello! ”
The corners of Cai Mao's mouth twitched slightly, her eyes glanced at Ling'er, and asked, "Master Hou, who is behind you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "This is Neizi, Ling'er, come, Ling'er, come and meet General Cai Mao." ”
Ling'er laughed coquettishly, and generously stepped forward to salute Cai Mao: "Ling'er has seen General Cai!" ”
As soon as Ling'er spoke, Cai Mao suddenly felt shortness of breath.
Ling'er's voice is very good, like a crisp bell, although there are also such beautiful female voices in the south, but Ling'er's standard Yuyang dialect made her worth suddenly increase a lot in Cai Mao's heart.
The women behind Cai Mao are also beauties, but compared to Ling'er, they always feel that something is missing, and then look at Ling'er holding Ma Xiaoquan's arm, Cai Mao suddenly felt a sense of grievance and frustration in her heart.
"Damn, the pigs are arching all the good dishes." Cai Mao said with hatred in her heart.
Cai Mao shifted her gaze to Murong Ziyan who was not far away, stared at it for a while, and then said, "Master Hou, take the liberty of asking, I wonder if Miss Murong is your family?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan knew the meaning of Cai Mao's words, he shook his head and said: "Sister Ziyan is kind-hearted, although Benhou has a heart, but he doesn't know the meaning of the concubine, so he never asked, what's the matter, General Cai is interested in Sister Ziyan?" ”
Cai Mao smiled and said politely: "How dare you." ”
Ma Xiaoquan scolded with disdain in his heart: How dare you MLGB, who else is there besides my Ziyan in your eyes of this color B, boy, the idea of beating the old woman, you are dead.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "That is the case, then today's selection of the most beautiful lady will require a lot of efforts from the general, haha" Saying that, Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and walked away with Ling'er.
Cai Mao held her breath for a while, but as Ma Xiaoquan said, the selection of the most beautiful lady really needs to work hard
Cai Mao's actions brought a lot of waves, but also brought new ideas, when the horse soldiers invited the guests, they only said that they would bring their female dependents, and they did not say how many they brought, so after a short period of consideration, the nobles of the scholar clan arranged for their subordinates to go back to pick up their wives to come to the election, so as not to be left behind.
In the afternoon, the Ma family in Xiangyang was already full of people.
Fortunately, the courtyard of the Ma family is big enough, and although there are enough people who come, they are all loaded.
Boarding the booth that had been set up a long time ago, the horse soldiers bowed their hands to the audience in high spirits and said: "Everyone, thank you for coming to participate in the small banquet held in the next, as early as before, I told you in the invitation that the small banquet is going to hold a 'most beautiful lady' selection, hehe Today's selection has not yet begun, I have been taken aback in the next, your ladies and ladies are really beautiful and fragrant, haha"
The audience burst into laughter.
Ma Bing continued: "Of course, the selection of the most beautiful lady is naturally rewarded, and you must know what the prize is, right? ”
