"Lord Qin, I'm very happy that you can come, I haven't heard Zhongxian praise you, saying that you are an immortal genius." Keshi happily took Qin Dui's hand and said.

"That's a factory job, you can't take it seriously." Qin Duan said modestly.

"Lord Qin, you are too modest, you are now a great hero of the empire, I heard that you led the imperial army to defeat 100,000 Hun iron cavalry, our Great Qin Empire has not won such a big battle in these years." Hakka said.

"Thank you, Madame Bongsheng, for the compliment."

Qin Du thanked him, no matter what kind of person this Fengsheng lady is, she and Wei Zhongxian are in the same camp, so they can also be said to be their own people.

"Hehe, let's not patronize here to talk, Lord Qin, please inside, Lord Qin is probably not familiar with the people in the upper class of our imperial capital, let me introduce it to you."

Madame Fengsheng very enthusiastically led Qin Du into the hall. Qin Duan also took the opportunity to take a look at the surrounding environment, the hall was very large, enough to accommodate more than a hundred people at the same time, and there were also connected small halls and corridors around it, the aisles were covered with expensive Lens jacquard carpets imported from the Central Continent, and the floors were paved with luxurious polished high-quality blue jade stones, which were enough to reflect the human figure. The musicians in ceremonial attire at the front of the hall were ready to stop, just waiting for the host to announce the start.

"This is Count Marco and his wife, this is Duke and Lady Li Zhongyue, and this is Countess Zhao Nan......" After a series of introductions, Qin Duan only knew that he smiled and repeated a series of nonsense such as "It's a pleasure to meet you", "It's a great honor to meet you", "Ah, Madam, you are very beautiful", and a series of nonsense, when he finished introducing the nobles on the left side of the hall, Qin Duan felt that his facial muscles were about to stiffen.

The guests on the right side of the hall were obviously out of place with the nobles on the left side of the hall, and Qin Duan felt a little strange. When Madame Fengsheng pulled him to the right and told him that these people were his friends in the business world, Qin Duan suddenly realized. Although these people have surpassed these nobles on the left in terms of economic strength, they are still looked down upon by those hereditary nobles because they are not given a proper status in the imperial court.

However, Qin Dui's interest in getting to know these people far exceeded that of the nobles on the left, and when Madame Fengsheng led him to these people, Qin Dui had already stretched out his hands with a smile.

It was obviously much easier to communicate with these people than with the orthodox nobles, and Qin Duan also knew most of them through the information of Guò Dongchang. So the topics are much richer.

"Lord Qin, let me introduce you to this beautiful girl." Madame Bong said as she pointed to the girl sitting in a corner of the hall.

"I've seen Madame Bongsheng."

When the little girl saw that Keshi was coming with a boy who was not a few years older than herself, she immediately stood up nervously and said.

"Xian Xian, let me introduce you to a great hero of the empire, Lord Qin Duan, he is the real hero of our Great Qin Empire, leading 40,000 imperial troops to defeat 100,000 Hun iron cavalry, and Qin Dui, the county guard of Tokugawa County who was canonized by the emperor as the Marquis of Yongsheng, he is still a great talent. "Changmen Fu", "A Laugh in the Sea", and "Yulin Bell" are all from the hands of this Lord Qin. Ke Shi pointed to Qin Du and introduced to the beautiful little girl named Xian Xian.

"The little woman, Wei Xianxian, has seen Lord Qin."

Wei Xianxian said to Qin Du, before he came, his uncle told him in detail about this Lord Qin, the meaning of his uncle, and wanted to marry this Lord Qin.

"Hello Slender Girl." Qin Duan looked at this Wei Xianxian and said.

Although this Wei Xianxian does not have a stunning appearance, she is also a rare beauty, especially her eyes. It was so charming that Qin Duan was a little fascinated.

"Lord Qin. You don't know yet, this Miss Wei Xianxian is still Wei Zhongxian's niece. Hakka said with a smile.

"The niece of the factory father."

Qin Duan was a little surprised and said, he had stayed in the Wei Mansion for a long time, but he had never heard of this slender lady.

"Slim has always lived in the countryside with her parents, and it's normal that you don't know. This time, she came to the capital from the countryside to see you, a big hero. Seeing Qin Duan's surprised look, the Hakka family explained.

"Oh, Qin Dui is very happy to meet Miss Xian Xian." Qin Duan said politely, this is his eldest niece, how can he not be lazy.

"Alright. Qin Dusk, don't you invite Xian Xian to dance? Hakka said.

"It's my pleasure, I wonder if Miss Slim is willing to dance with me?" Qin Duan stretched out his hand and politely invited Wei Xianxian.

"I do."

The musicians played a cheerful dance music of "The Blue Ram River", and Qin Duan pulled Wei Xianxian to the middle of the hall. Qin Duan, who graduated from the Department of History in his previous life, also dabbled in these ancient court dances, and he also danced with many girls in school, so he is still handy with this kind of dance.

Everyone danced in this cheerful dance music, and Qin Dui's graceful and skillful dancing posture was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. The girls and young women on and off the field were all attracted, and they all looked at Wei Xianxian who was dancing with Qin Du with that jealous gaze that could melt gold and iron.

At the end of the song, Qin Duan pulled the shy Wei Xianxian to Mrs. Fengsheng's side. This Wei Xianxian is definitely a shy girl

Many years later, the "Record of the Demeanor of the Great Qin Emperor" recorded: "His Majesty the Emperor defeated the crowd with his superb dancing skills, which made the men present willing to lose, and made the ladies present beat their chests and regret it, because they lost an extremely rare opportunity to dance with His Majesty the Emperor, except for Wei Guifei, of course." ”

"Lord Qin, I didn't expect your dance to be so good."

、

Ke Shi looked at Qin Duan in surprise and said, this Qin Duan is really a great talent, not only has good literary skills, but also has strong military ability, and this dance is also very good, no wonder Wei Zhongxian is so important, even his niece was introduced to him.

"Thank you, Madame Bongsheng, for the compliment." Qin Duan thanked.

"Slim is good, isn't it?"

The Hakka family looked at Qin Dui and asked, the purpose of the Hakka family's holding this ball today is to introduce Wei Xianxian to Qin Duan, so he is very concerned about Qin Dui's impression of Wei Xianxian.

"Slender girl is very good, and she dances very well." Qin Du said.

"That's good, that's good, you young people should have more contact in the future, contact." Keshi said happily.

"Yes." Qin Duan glanced at Wei Xianxian thoughtfully and said.

"That's good, Lord Qin, you can go and communicate with those dignitaries, it may be of great help to you in developing Tokugawa County." Keshi said to Qin Duan.

"So, I'm out of company first." Qin Duan said apologetically.

"It's okay, you go get busy." Hakka said.

Qin Duan smiled apologetically at Wei Xianxian and walked towards the crowd in the hall.

"Xian Xian, what do you think of this Lord Qin, are you willing to marry him?" When Qin Duan walked to the hall, the Hakka clan asked Wei Xianxian.

"I listen to the Holy Lady."

Wei Xianxian blushed and said, Wei Xianxian is still very satisfied with this future husband, but she no longer resisted her uncle to let her marry this Qin Duan.

"Hehe, that's good, that's good." Ke said happily, it seems that today's goal has basically been achieved, and the rest of the things will be easy to do.

When Qin Duan came to the hall, many noble ladies and ladies warmly invited Qin Dui to dance, but Qin Dui didn't seem to have much interest in dancing with them, he put aside those noble ladies who frequently raised eyebrows at him, and joined the merchant circle on the right. Because of his affable and humorous conversation, he was very different from the pretentious aristocrats, and soon mingled with the merchants.

When the merchants asked about the battle of the Tokugawa Defense, Qin Duan also took the opportunity to introduce them to the new policies currently being implemented by the Tokugawa Prefecture, and hinted that the Emperor Xià was also very interested in this plan to revive Tokugawa Prefecture and even the northwest region.

Just as Qin Duan was talking with the merchants in full swing, Mrs. Fengsheng came over. "Lord Qin, why are you still here, there are a lot of nobles waiting for you over there?"

"Oh, Madame Bongsheng, I'm talking about something interesting with these friends of yours, and I don't have much interest in dancing, so I think I'd better stay here and talk to my friends." Qin Duan obviously didn't want to let go of this opportunity to promote his plans to the merchants.

"How? It's rude for you to do this, and you should go over there and deal with it if you ask for a bowl of water to your friend, and you've been here for a while. They are all well-known people in the emperor, and offending them will have a great impact on your career, which is not a wise move. ”

The treacherous and slick lady Fengsheng is very good at figuring out people's minds. "Besides, there are many opportunities, so don't rush for a while."

Qin Du thought for a while, Mrs. Fengsheng said very reasonably, these nobles have not achieved enough things, and they have more than enough failures, it is better not to offend, anyway, there is still time, and I can find time to do the work of these merchants again. Thinking of this, Qin Du showed a graceful smile on his face, picked up a cocktail sent by the servant, and walked into the crowd of nobles with comfortable steps, talking and laughing with them.

In the following days, Qin Duan met and talked secretly with several people who had sent invitations, and the topic was of course inseparable from Qin Dui's development plan. In particular, the merchants in the capital expressed a strong interest in Qin Dui's plan, and Qin Du also strongly invited the merchants to Tokugawa for development, and promised to give extremely generous conditions, but also raised questions about the current state of security in Tokugawa, saying that they would observe and observe the shape of the shì, and Qin Du said that he would purge all horse thieves and bandits in Tokugawa within three months.
