When the carriage arrived at Qingcui Villa, Huang Zhao and Ma Kan were already at the door, Qin Lei patted the two of them on the shoulder, jumped out of the carriage by himself, and said with a gentle smile: "Good job." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Hearing the prince's appreciation, the two of them were happy on their faces, and they followed Qin Lei towards the gate.

Qin Lei suddenly stopped, looked at the sparkling Qingchuan Lake under the hillside, and said with some emotion: "This is really a good place, I am indeed a little reluctant." ”

"Since the prince is reluctant, let's stay." A hearty voice sounded, Qin Lei looked for prestige, and saw Lu Yanwu and Zhuo Wen in civilian clothes standing at the door, bowing to him with a smile.

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Gong Zhuo Fu is okay when he comes." As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the hands of the two, and entered the manor with a smile.

The three of them talked a few words about Fengyue and said goodbye, and then they arrived at the main hall, Qin Lei said with a smile: "Go and change this robe and wash up first." The two of them sat down for a while, and by the way, they beckoned those who came to eat for Lone. The two of them naturally responded.

Qin Lei walked through the front hall and the back hall, and before he reached the backyard, he saw a slender figure standing on tiptoe at the gate of the courtyard, looking in his direction. When he saw Qin Lei's figure appear in the corridor, the figure trembled slightly, and then rushed over like a forest, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of Qin Lei.

Qin Lei smiled and stretched out his arms, caught Ruolan's soft body, and turned around three times before gently placing it on the ground. Ruolan was a little dizzy by the feeling of soaring clouds and fog, and she couldn't stand on the ground when she fell to the ground, so she had to hold on to his clothes tightly, and her delicate body leaned on him tightly. Realizing that her movements were a little bold, Ruolan had no choice but to bury her little head in Qin Lei's chest, reluctant to get up.

Qin Lei gently stroked Ruolan's hair with one hand, held her slender waist with the other, and said with a slight distress: "My little Ruolan has lost weight, she really suffers." ”

Ruolan said 'um', grabbed Qin Lei's clothes, shook her head lightly, and said, "The slave is very blessed, but it has hurt the prince." The two haven't seen each other for a few months, so naturally they have endless love words, and they are endless. But Yun Shang, who was dressed in men's clothes on the side, felt sour, she pursed her lips and said softly: "Lord Wang, Sister Ruolan, let's go in and talk." ”

Ever since she saw Qin Lei, Ruolan had no one else in her eyes, and when she heard Yunshang speak, she remembered that it was in broad daylight, and there were still people standing on the side. The little face suddenly turned red like a boiled shrimp, and reluctantly left Qin Lei's arms, and after whispering hello to Yunsheng, he said shyly: "The slave maid went to see if the water was boiled and ......" and ran away as if he was leaving.

Qin Lei looked at Yunshang funny, squeezed his eyes and said, "Could it be that you are jealous?" Yunshang said with a smile on her face: "How can it, how can the slave maid eat Sister Ruolan's vinegar?" ”

Qin Lei stretched out his hand to hug him, and said with a confused face: "For the sake of fairness, let this king also hug Xiao Yunsheng." When Yunshang saw him coming, Bei Yan bit her red lip lightly, her expression was nervous but she didn't dodge. Qin Lei knew that when she saw Ruolai, her unyielding strength came up again. I can't help but be overjoyed, and I want to hug it all the time.

As soon as her fingers touched Yunshang's arm, she snorted, bounced away like a frightened deer, and took two steps back before standing, her jade cheeks were burned, and her eyes were misty: "Wait for two more days, let Yunshang prepare to prepare again, ......" After saying these shameful words, the girl covered her cheeks, and she seemed to escape, the speed was indeed faster than Ruolan, and even the movements were beautiful and tight.

"It's worthy of being a master......" Qin Lei said strangely. It's strange to say, every time he finishes teasing Qiao Yunsheng, he will be in a good mood, and even his spirit will be much better. He looked anxious all day long, but he wanted to see the girl's embarrassed little appearance...... Of course, it's better to have tender tofu.

Qin Lei hummed a little song into the room, Ruolan had already changed into a pink single dress and was waiting there, seeing the graceful little beauty, full of shyness and expectation, staring at herself affectionately.

Qin Lei, who had not seen meat in March, sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt unbearable, covered the door with his backhand, and stepped in front of Yunshang in two steps, picked up the same hot little face, and kissed the delicate red lips fiercely......

It is quiet all over the place, the laurel blooms leisurely outside the window, the shadow is sparse and horizontal, and the dark fragrance floats; indoors

Luo Xuan hung down quietly, her eyebrows were shy, and her lips were warmer. Endless tenderness and sweetness, endless love for children.

It wasn't until the golden house sank in the west and the afterglow filled the room that the two of them stopped. Ruolan's hair was fluffy, and she curled up in Qin Lei's arms with relish, lazily not wanting to move. Seeing Qin Lei get up and dress, but he really couldn't get up and serve, he couldn't help but be ashamed and anxious, looking very cute.

Qin Lei stretched out his hand to hook her pointed chin, and smiled softly: "You just have to rest, the lonely king is looking for clouds and clothes to wash ......" Ruolan nodded shyly, and said softly: "Please also ask the prince to forgive me." Qin Lei laughed and said, "What is Xiao Ruolan's crime? On the contrary, it is very tight, and Lone is very pleased...... "Put Ruolan into the quilt so ashamed that she won't show her head again."

Qin Leizhi went out of the room satisfied, and no one answered after calling a few Yunsheng, he felt strange in his heart, so he had to casually ask a few maids to take a bath for him, and just sat in the bath, and after not washing for a while, he felt that there was a change of person behind him, and the familiar little hands were gently pressed on his shoulders.

Qin Lei put a hot towel on his head, hummed comfortably a few times, and asked, "Where did you go?" I'm looking for you. ”

Yunshang behind him said softly: "I feel stuffy, I went out for a walk to breathe." ”

Qin Lei was silent, he knew that Yunshang's skills were profound, his ears and eyes were clear, and he could naturally hear things clearly. He also knew that Yunshang must have tasted it in his heart, but it was not easy to say anything about this matter, only vaguely past, and it was best when it didn't happen.

But he didn't want to be too cold, Qin Lei didn't have anything to say: "There is news from the capital, and the holy decree that summons me back will arrive soon......"

Sure enough, Yun Shang's mind was immediately attracted to it, and the movements in his hands couldn't help but slow, and he asked softly, "When will it be gone?" ”

"By the end of the month at the latest." Qin Lei has indeed returned to his heart like an arrow. Li Yijiang was assassinated and Wen Mingyi was humiliated, although these things can't be put on the face, but the dark tide surging in the audience is even more dangerous. At this time, if he is in a safe corner and allows others to call for wind and rain in the court, then his situation will become more and more unfavorable, and the original results will be eaten up and divided by others.

Yunshang stopped pressing, and gently stroked Qin Lei's well-defined back with both hands, although he didn't say a word, Qin Lei could also feel the girl's strong attachment and reluctance. He sighed lightly and whispered, "Come with me?" No one knows who you are, and you don't have to carry so much. ”

Yunshang shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Yunshang can't deceive herself, and she ......" The girl paused when she said this.

"And what?" Qin Lei asked.

Yun Sheng wrapped his hands around Qin Lei's neck, gently held him in his arms, rubbed his chin against the top of Qin Lei's head, and said in an almost murmuring voice: "Yun Sheng has been dreaming since she was very young...... I dreamed of my future husband, dressed in golden armor, majestic and majestic,

On a high-profile day, step on the avenue paved with rose petals to pick up Yunshang in a red wedding dress......"

Qin Lei's cheeks slowly rubbed on Yunshang Saishuang's Hao wrist, and he heard the girl cry and complain: "Yunshang has nothing left now, so there is only this one dream left......

Qin Lei said softly: "Little fool, you still have me......" Yun Sheng shook his head lightly, tears burst out of his eyes, dripping on Qin Lei's damp hair, he didn't even feel it......

When Qin Lei appeared in the courtyard neatly dressed and refreshed, it was already the beginning of the lanterns. Tonight, the autumn weather is crisp, the sky is light and the wind is light, and a round of bright silver platters hangs in the night sky in the east, exuding a mysterious and warm light.

There is a laurel tree under the moonlight, and a feast under the laurel tree. Dozens of long tables were filled with plates of longan, walnuts, red dates, plums, grapes, watermelons, as well as all kinds of candied snacks, all kinds of fine wines, one hundred and forty or fifty members of the two provinces sat at the long table in turn, eating snacks and fruits in a whispering voice, while looking at the courtyard gate from time to time.

When Qin Lei appeared, people put down the food in their hands with a smile and got up to say hello to Qin Lei. Qin Lei said with a hearty smile as he walked inside: "The festival is just to have fun, you don't have to be restrained, otherwise it won't be interesting." ”

When the gentry heard what the prince said, they let go, and were just about to sit down with a smile. Zhuo Bingchen at the main table said loudly: "Don't be in a hurry to sit, please ask the prince to lead us to worship the moon god before sitting." ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed and said, "It should be so." He turned to Qin Lei and said, "Please ask the prince to receive the sacrifice." ”

Qin Lei laughed and said, "That's very good. On the way here, Huang Zhao had already told him that there would be a sacrifice later, and explained the process in detail, so Qin Lei generously agreed.

Zhuo Bingchen and Qiao Qipei guided Qin Lei to a huge offering table in the east. Qin Lei looked at the sacrifices on the table, all of them were melons, fruits, pears, dates, bananas, grapes and the like, there were no pigs, cows and livestock that he usually saw in the sacrifices, and he said in his heart that this moon god must be a woman.

Sure enough, the statue of the moon god in the middle of the table was a charming and feminine fairy, and then looked at the bright moon behind her, it turned out to be Miss Chang, Qin Lei said secretly.

At this time, Zhuo Bingchen held a big red candle with the thickness of his arm and presented it to Qin Lei, Qin Lei took it, lit it with the candle flame on the side, and then inserted it on the left side of the idol. Zhuo Bingchen handed over another one, and Qin Lei clicked it again and inserted it on the right. After Zhuo Bingchen retreated, Qiao Qipei came up and offered a bunch of incense to Qin Lei, Qin Lei took it, lit it with the candle that had just been inserted, bowed to the moon god three times, and inserted it on the incense burner in front of the moon god.

Koji Yanwu came up again and offered a plate of large watermelons cut into the shape of lotus flowers to Qin Lei, and Qin Lei put the watermelons on the table again. Only then did he retreat to the futon behind him and kneel. Qiao Qipei and Zhuo Bingchen behind him also led the gentry to kneel down with piety.

Qin Lei bowed his hand to the moon god, and said loudly: "Taiyin Niangniang is above, Qin Lei, the little king of the lower realm, lead my southern people to worship in the pious sacrifice of mid-autumn, beggar Niangniang pity me for the suffering of the south, and bless me with the safety of all the people!" ”

After speaking, respectfully kowtowed, and the gentry behind him also kowtowed, and after the three kowtows, the sound of silk music started, and this was the completion of the worship. After Qin Lei got up, everyone also got up and sat down again with Qin Lei.

Qin Lei naturally sat down at the main table, and Zhuo Bingchen and Qiao Qipei sat on the left and right respectively. Further down are Koji Yanwu, Zhuo Wenzheng, Qin Shung, Bo Xian Saiyang, and Chai Shifang, who was specially invited by Qin Lei, a table of eight people.

Zhuo Bingchen, Qiao's father and son, and Ko Yanwu don't need to talk about it, where is the identity, even if Koji Yanwu and Zhuo Wen are temporarily suspended, haven't they gone to work yet? As for Chai Shifang Chai Heizi, after this battle, his status in the hearts of everyone has risen, and people know that he will become a celebrity in front of the prince, and he has the potential to compete with the traditional four masters.

And the reason why Qin Shuang was able to sit at the main table was because he guarded Jingzhou Mansion and kept one side safe, which was due to Jingzhou. Bo Xian Saiyang is even more promising, he is a great hero in the recovery of Jiangbei, coupled with his prominent status, no one thinks it is inappropriate to sit at the main table.

Except for Chu Qianjun. At this time, Xiao Chu was sitting at the table next to him coaxingly, drinking sullen wine with a depressed face. The gentry on the side had already heard about his famous reputation as a 'white-clothed demon', and they didn't dare to talk to him. Afraid of talking to each other, they snubbed General Chu, so they simply didn't speak, lowered their heads, and dealt with the food in front of them very seriously. For a while, in the noisy venue, only this table was quiet and very weird.

After Qin Lei sat down, the maids took down the fruit snacks and began to serve them. First there are eight cold dishes, then eight meat dishes, eight vegetarian dishes, and the cups and plates in the south are much smaller than those in the north, but the big table is already full.

In a hurry today, Qin Lei just made some fried noodles on the horse at noon, and when he returned home, he did some strenuous exercise, which not only consumed a lot of energy, but also made him have no time to eat something, and he was already hungry.

At this time, seeing the table full of delicacies, Qin Lei had already moved his index finger. But the prince ate with his subordinates, and he paid too much attention to it, so he could only swallow his saliva secretly and wait for the dishes to be served.

As soon as the dishes were served, he smiled and held a piece of steamed pork and said, "Old Qiao, Old Zhuo, it is difficult to hold two pieces of meat alone, but I don't know who to give it to." "Respecting the elderly is a Chinese virtue, and in this kind of formal banquet, even those who are honored by status must first use brand-new chopsticks to serve food to the elders on the table.

But Qin Lei's chopsticks are not just as simple as respecting the elderly. Now that the reputation of the Xu family is stinking, maybe the family will fall into the middle of the road, and it is not impossible to give up the position of one of the four families. And the fact that the Xu family passed through Yindonggou, although there was no loss on the face, it was also discounted in the hearts of the southern scholars, presumably they would also be people with their tails between their legs, try to keep a low profile for a few years, and wait for the impact to fade a little. Therefore, Qiao Zhuo's two families have become the leaders in the south, and the two old men have been in the bidding meeting, so Qin Lei's words are to consider them and give them a wake-up call.

If ordinary people do this, it will be a little disrespectful, but Qin Lei is just right. Not to mention his lofty position in the south, just to say that he was the persuader of the time, it would not make the two of them mistakenly think that they were being made fun of, and thus have a pimple in their hearts.

Qiao Qipei and Zhuo Bingchen's old faces flushed, and they glanced at each other, Qiao Qipei stroked his beard and smiled: "The prince thinks about our two old men." Zhuo Bingchen also bowed his head and said: "Although we are a little old and confused, our memory is not bad, you can rest assured." ”

Qin Lei smiled with satisfaction: "The two elders are too careful, and Lone also asked casually, not so much." After a while, he put the meat in the bowl of Qiao Qipei on his left hand, and said with a warm smile: "Qiao is old and respectful, so he should eat this chopstick." Although he said that he couldn't argue, but seeing that Qin Lei gave himself first, Old Man Qiao felt as if he had eaten honey in his heart.

Qin Lei sandwiched two pieces of meat in a row, put them in Zhuo Bingchen's bowl on his right, and said softly: "Zhuo is three years old, and he should be strong when he is old, so he should eat one more piece." This made Zhuo Bingchen happy, and said in his heart, if you see it, the prince will say it again, it is beautiful to eat first, but what you eat later will also be compensated.

After sandwiching the dishes for the two old things, Qin Lei also sandwiched a chopstick for himself, and said a little weakly: "Let's move the chopsticks...... After eating three or four chopsticks in a row, I drank the sea cucumber soup in front of me, so that I felt more comfortable in my stomach and my body was not so empty.

Qiao Qipei, who was sitting in the main companion seat, was old and mature, how could he not see that Qin Lei was hungry, so he didn't raise his glass for a long time, until Qin Lei's face looked better, and then he got up and raised his glass loudly: "Everyone, ......"

Everyone quieted down, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the prince set up a banquet to entertain him, and the old man was the main accompaniment, proposing this first glass of wine, to His Royal Highness the King of Longjun, who has the grace of reinvention in my south, how about it?" ”

"Very good, very good!" Everyone agreed.

"So the old man did it first for respect."

"To the prince!"
