Wan Lin looked at Wu Xuehai in confusion, and really didn't understand what his motive was for coming over to join in the fun.

After Wu Xuehai appeared, everyone was instantly quiet.

After hearing Wu Xuehai's words, people all came and pricked up their gossip ears, and all of them focused their eyes on Wan Lin.

"Xiangye, the next official will ...... Song first"

Wan Lin wanted to send Song Xiuneng back to his seat and stop talking to Wu Xuehai.

What is Yanfu or not, he is not interested.

Wu Xuehai glanced at the people around him, and said to Wan Lin: "Just let them send Lord Song back." ”

As soon as Song Xiuneng was helped away, Wan Lin immediately felt embarrassed and at a loss.

Wu Xuehai then said to Wan Lin: "Have you heard of a custom of Qiang Wan? ”

Wan Lin shook his head.

Wu Xuehai glanced at the dancing queen, and then smiled at Wan Lin, "Qiang Wan's folk style is unrestrained and enthusiastic, if the dancing girls find their favorite man in the audience when they perform on stage, they will throw their veils to the person they like, as long as the veil falls on that person's body, the dancing girl will promise to each other." ”

After Wu Xuehai finished talking about Qiang Wan's nonsense custom, Wan Lin's head "buzzed".

The others were also very surprised when they heard it, but they didn't expect Wan Lin to inadvertently hug the beauty!

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Feizhi's faces changed at the same time, and Wan Feizhi anxiously grabbed Fu Xiaojiu's arm, "Third sister-in-law, what can I do about this?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu suppressed his anger and said, "Don't worry, listen to what your third brother has to say." ”

Although Wan Lin didn't expect him to encounter such a bloody thing, he reacted quickly and said politely: "Qiang Wan's custom is really eye-opening, if the lower officials have not yet married, they will gladly accept this young lady's wishes." But Xia Guan has long been in the family, his wife is virtuous and filial, and there is no extra space at home, so Xia Guan can't accept this young lady's wishes. ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking to Wu Xuehai, he said politely and detachedly to the dancing girl: "I don't know if you can understand what you are saying, but I still have to make it clear to you that you are very good, but you already have a good wife and a good child, and you really have no chance with Miss." The veil has been returned to you, so please find another match! ”

After saying this, Wan Lin bowed to her, and then said to Wu Xuehai: "Xiangye, the lower official has made his words clear, so I won't delay everyone to enjoy the song and dance, and the lower official will retire!" ”

The dancing girl seemed to understand Wan Lin's words, and a disappointed and sad look appeared on her beautiful face, holding the veil and biting her lip, she still looked at Wan Lin and didn't move.

Wan Lin thought that he could get out after he said it clearly, but Wu Xuehai still didn't give up, grabbed his arm, and said enthusiastically: "Lord Wan, it's all because the old man didn't say it clearly." Although you already have a family, you can fill in another concubine room! If this dancing girl can become the concubine of our Dachen officials, it will be very elevating to her, but you don't have to let her be a big lady! ”

The little guy next to Wu Xuehai also persuaded him: "Yes, Lord Wan, which of our Dachen's men is not a third wife and four concubines, you don't have a concubine yet, isn't it just right that you accepted her as a concubine?" ”

Not only did this little guy persuade Wan Lin, but the officials standing beside him also began to persuade Wan Lin to accept this dancing girl as a concubine.

There was gradually hope in Mai Ji's eyes, and she looked at Wan Lin with affection, and her cheeks were dyed crimson.

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Feizhi's relaxed mood instantly tensed up again.

The expressions on everyone's faces were even more subtle, and they all waited to see how Wan Lin would react next.

Wan Lin listened to everyone's persuasion for a while, but his face did not change, and when these people persuaded him almost, Wan Lin finally spoke.

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say."

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Wan Lin didn't go to see the dancing girl again, but said to Wu Xuehai: "Xiangye, the lower officials are not pretending to be reserved. But I really can't appreciate the appearance of this young lady's deep eyes and high nose, which feels like some people like colored glaze, some people like plain glaze, each has its own aesthetics, and this aesthetic is the most difficult to change. Therefore, if this young lady becomes the concubine of the lower official, I am afraid that she will be left out in the cold and waste her life! If Xiangye and you take pity on this young lady, let her stay with someone who knows how to appreciate her. ”

Wan Lin said these words earnestly, and everyone was speechless for a while.

Wu Xuehai didn't expect Wan Lin to refuse to take a concubine under such an excuse, Wan Lin said it to this point, if he tried to persuade Wan Lin again, it would be too deliberate, his dignified master was like a pimp.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Lord Wan to not want to accept the dancing girl for this reason. What you said is also reasonable, turnip greens have their own love, and what some people like does not mean that everyone likes it. ”

After Wu Xuehai finished speaking, he said to the dancing girl: "You don't meet other people's tastes, don't delay your efforts on him." Okay, keep jumping! ”

Seeing that Wu Xuehai finally relented, Wan Lin also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly returned to his seat.

Everyone stopped talking when they learned the reason why Wan Lin rejected the dancing girl, especially Wu Xuehai also spoke, so they all thought that Wan Lin had no eyes and didn't understand the amorous feelings, and some people also took advantage of the maneuver to think about whether they could ask Wu Xuehai to give the dancing girl to themselves.

Seeing that Wan Lin successfully refused to take a concubine, Wan Feizhi was even happier than Fu Xiaojiu.

"Great, third sister-in-law! That goblin can't get through our door! ”

Fu Xiaojiu's heart was bubbling with beauty, but he pretended to be indifferent and said, "I knew that your third brother had a way." ”

But at this time, someone said with a sour breath: "It's not that the dancing girl doesn't suit his taste?" Do you think he will sit still and not mess up? ”

Wan Feizhi glared at the person who spoke angrily, and Fu Xiaojiu also glanced at the lady, and did not show any anger.

Wan Feizhi was afraid that Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin would have a gap, so he hurriedly helped Wan Lin speak: "Third sister-in-law, the third brother is not that kind of person, don't listen to their nonsense." ”

Fu Xiaojiu calmly poured some wine for Wan Feizhi and said to her: "Sometimes you don't have to tell the truth. You and I know best what kind of person your third brother is. It's casual to think and say whatever others like, and I don't need your third brother to behave perfectly and affectionately in front of outsiders. ”

Wan Feizhi didn't understand Fu Xiaojiu's words at first, but after drinking this glass of wine, she suddenly enlightened.

"Third sister-in-law, I understand what you mean." Wan Feizhi smiled with relief, and then said: "Too good things make people blush, too good relationships make people jealous, too good people make people worry, third sister-in-law, am I right?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu touched Wan Feizhi's head and said appreciatively: "The son can be taught!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to eat and drink.

Bai Yusheng saw everything in his eyes just now, and Wan Lin taught him a lesson today, which made him learn a lot.

The dancers continued to dance, and the atmosphere was once again enthusiastic.

Wu Xuehai's birthday banquet finally ended smoothly after the fireworks show, Fu Xiaojiu and his wife and Bai Yusheng's family walked out of the gate of the Xiangfu together, said goodbye to each other and got into the carriage of each family.

Wan Lin was silent for a moment before asking tentatively, "Lady...... You're not angry about that incident, are you? ”

Fu Xiaojiu deliberately asked, "Xianggong, what are you talking about?" ”

Wan Lin saw that Fu Xiaojiu was teasing him, and deliberately said: "Actually, I think that dancing girl is very beautiful, and it would be a lie to say that I can't appreciate it." Our family really didn't have a place to put her, so I didn't take her. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said expressionlessly: "Wan Feizhi's room is empty now, why is there no place to place her?" ”

Wan Lin immediately suddenly said: "Yes, how did I forget about this!" I have to go back and talk to Xiangye. ”

Wan Lin said that he was really about to get out of the car, and Fu Xiaojiu said quietly behind him: "Then you have to run quickly, otherwise you will be asked by someone else to go if you go late!" ”

Wan Lin immediately retracted his body, and put one hand against the inner wall of the carriage beside Fu Xiaojiu.

"Lady, you're amazing!"

Wan Lin laughed wickedly.

Fu Xiaojiu asked with a cold face, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"You're so confused! You know who I am and what I think in my heart, but you are deliberately pretending to be angry here. Lady, you are so cute! ”

Wan Lin kissed Fu Xiaojiu on the cheek as he spoke.

"Oh, you're cheeky!"

Fu Xiaojiu immediately glanced at him.

Wan Lin took her into his arms and said suspiciously: "I didn't expect that the right minister would use this trick to test me." I don't really understand, is such a boring temptation interesting? Don't say that I'm really not interested in that dancing girl, even if I'm tempted by her, I don't dare to just take her in, right? ”

Fu Xiaojiu stopped joking with Wan Lin, and said seriously: "That is, you can be indifferent to beauty, right?" If this is someone else, they will definitely be happy to take that dancing girl as a concubine. Didn't you notice the way those people looked at her? It's like a hungry wolf who hasn't seen meat in years! ”

Wan Lin said indifferently: "I don't care how others will react, anyway, I won't fall for it." No matter what they say of me, I do my duty to do my own thing, and they can't do anything to me. ”

Fu Xiaojiu asked curiously at this time: "Then what can buy you?" What do you can't refuse? ”

Wan Lin looked down at Fu Xiaojiu and said, "The only thing that I can't refuse is to let you achieve your wish and become the richest man in Dachen!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu immediately laughed, "Hahaha, your appetite is too big, it is estimated that no one can do it except the emperor." If others hear this, they will be so scared that they will never dare to test you again. ”

When Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu were laughing, a carriage had just driven out of the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the carriage arrived outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wu Xuehai also walked out, he stood on the side of the carriage and said to the people inside: "You really have a noble life, don't be a concubine, you have entered the palace in the end." The emperor will definitely like you very much, serve him well, and remember what you and I told you. ”

"Yes."

There was an emotionless response from the carriage.

Wu Xuehai patted the car window, "It's not too early, let's go!" ”

The dancing girl in the carriage was still wearing the fiery red dance dress, and her turquoise eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and she slowly closed her eyes.
