Chapter 9, The Feast
Yu Xiaohuai nodded lightly, not happy or sad, she was familiar with Ren Yuanfei with a Ling Fei bun, and skillfully left a part of the green silk to wear a painted silver ribbon at will, she raised her eyes to look at Ren Yuanfei, who had changed slightly in the bronze mirror and became glamorous, couldn't help but admire: "Look, if you are a girl from a normal family, I don't know how many sons and daughters fall in love with you." β
Ren Yuanfei looked at himself in the bronze mirror, whether he looked good or not, it was quite awkward, and after listening to Yu Xiaohuai's joke, he just smiled faintly, "Are you all decorations for other girls in the town?" β
After saying that, they both laughed.
"Look how beautiful you look when you smile." Ren Yuanfei exhaled softly. "What are your plans for the future?"
Yan Xiaohuai's hand combing his hair paused, a trace of resolute light burst out of his eyes, and he said in a calm voice: "Like you, self-reliance!" β
"Do you still hate him?" Ren Yuanfei turned his head to look at her, his expression was serious, and it was rare to be serious for a while. "A businessman, it is inevitable that he will not see the temptation clearly and make some mistakes, as long as his conscience is redeemed, and there is no longer a disagreement with you, the rest of the days, cherish each other." Ren Yuanfei looked at herself in the bronze mirror and smiled bitterly, "When my mother was in a hurry, I always hated myself for not cherishing the rest of my time with her, and now I can only give her a few more pillars of incense." β
"The prefect was able to open the net and spare his life, we are already very satisfied, my father also knows that he is wrong, and asked me to take Xue'e's father back to the mansion to serve well, he is very calm and has nothing to complain about, just told me to manage his life's work well, and there is...... It's ......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Xiaohuai's face turned red, Ren Yuanfei had already guessed it, and said with a smile: "Let you find a good husband?" β
Yan Xiaohuai glanced at her, ignored her, buried her head in the brocade box to find hair accessories, and after looking for a long time, she asked with a surprised face: "Where did your jewelry go?" β
Ren Yuanfei moved his stiff neck and said lazily: "How can I have those girls' things?" β
Yan Xiaohuai looked at her dumbfounded, and muttered half-loudly: "Hey, it's a pity for this face." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Hey, this golden hairpin is quite chic?" Yu Xiaohuai looked at the hair ornament under the mezzanine of the brocade box with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and caress it.
"That's the only relic my mother left me, thief gold." Ren Yuanfei shook his head and said with a grin.
Yan Xiaohuai didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, picked it up and inserted it into Ren Yuanfei's cloud bun, the bun was matched with this flying butterfly and gold flower hairpin, the light-colored tassels fell at will, and there was a trace of ripples in the wind, and Yu Xiaohuai was directly stunned, and said for a long time: "I suddenly feel that the position of matchmaker is really wronged by you." β
Ren Yuanfei looked disdainful, "Didn't you say before that the profession of matchmaker was tailor-made for me?" β
Yan Xiaohuai sighed, with an expression of 'flowers falling into cow dung', and then helped her choose a light blue thin sand lotus leaf skirt to wear, when Ren Yuanfei came out from behind the screen, Yan Xiaohuai once again hated the tyranny of heaven!
Just as the two were about to go out, Ren Yuanfei leaned on the door frame and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure I have no problem going to the banquet like this?" β
"What's the problem?"
"Isn't it going to be a sassy bag?"
"......" Yu Xiaohuai was embarrassed, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a hundred flowers tonight, you are dressed so elegantly and put into the crowd, you will be directly drowned, okay?" β
Ren Yuanfei felt that this was reasonable, and when he closed the door, he couldn't help but stop and said: "I think I still don't want to wear hairpins, I'm not used to it, and ...... I'm worried I'm going to lose it, you know, I'm always so vulgar and feisty. β
Yan Xiaohuai was stunned for a moment, she was hesitant, but she really wanted to show everyone her well-dressed Ren Yuanfei, and even more wanted to slap the faces of those ladies who looked down on her, the daughter of a businessman! So he changed his words and said, "It's okay, just have a meal, are you still going to fight?" β
Ren Yuanfei was silent for a moment, and Yu Xiaohuai said again: "You seem to be weird today?" Didn't they all look like they didn't care about anything before? β
This sentence can be regarded as talking about Ren Yuanfei's heart, she is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, she immediately closed the door, and said magnificently: "Go, who is the master afraid of?" β
Yu Xiaohuai smiled lightly, and then the two walked slowly towards the banquet.
On the way, Liuzi saw two graceful figures walking in front of him from a distance, very eye-catching, I don't know which girl it was, and when he hurriedly approached, he was taken aback and said: "Boss, you have a fever?" β
Ren Yuanfei glared at him, "You're just complaining!" ", and then gave him a look, 'If you say again, I promise not to kill you', which made Liuzi shut up instantly.
However, Liuzi still couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "Why did the girls get up suddenly, I'm not used to it!" β
Ren Yuanfei: "......"
Yu Xiaohuai hurriedly came out to play the round, "By the way, Liuzi, today is the first banquet of the new prefect's mansion, and you don't dress well?" β
The sixth son squeezed his eyebrows and glanced at Ren Yuanfei, and complained: "The boss doesn't tell me about the girl, what does it matter if I am grand or not?" β
Ren Yuanfei paused, then turned around and twisted Liuzi's ears quickly and accurately, "How old are you?" A man is thirty years old, and you are still ten years away! Besides, enough money for the bride price? β
"I ...... I...... I was wrong! The boss raises his noble hand! Liuzi rubbed his pinched red ears, glanced at Ren Yuanfei with resentment, and muttered in a low voice: "This hand is getting bigger and bigger, fortunately I don't get married, otherwise who can stand it!" β
Ren Yuanfei: "......"
Seeing that Ren Yuanfei's face was black, Yu Xiaohuai hurriedly pulled her into the table.
The banquet was jointly organized by the eight wealthy businessmen in Huangyou Town, and the scene was very grand, watching the dense heads of people coming and going under the orange lanterns hanging high, Ren Yuanfei couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"Kite Fei, sit with me." Yu Xiaohuai stretched out his hand and sincerely invited.
Now that Master Chang is gone, Xiaohuai is one of the eight wealthy businessmen, and tonight's banquet is also sponsored by her, so her seat is in a particularly important position, directly below the prefect.
Ren Yuanfei raised his eyes, feeling a little conspicuous, so he refused: "I don't know how many rich sons are courteous to you tonight, and they still stare at me if they sit here!" β
Saying that, she didn't care about Xiaohuai's retention, she left on her own, looked around, and found that the people sitting at the banquet in the new prefect's mansion were all cold reading children, she touched her chin and smiled undeniably, it seems that this new prefect is indeed a little different.
She was about to pick an inconspicuous position to sit down at random, when suddenly she was greeted by an old man in gorgeous clothes who was over half a hundred years old, with a few deep wrinkles printed on his forehead, vicissitudes of life and worldliness.
He seemed to have waited for her for a long time, and as soon as she appeared, he couldn't wait to walk towards her, with a slight eagerness in his eyes.
Ren Yuanfei looked at him a little familiar, and after thinking for a while, she frowned, it turned out to be the owner of Qin Ji's pawnshop, Qin Deyi.
He walked up to Ren Yuanfei with a businessman's characteristic smile, bent over, stretched out his hand and said, "Ren official media, please?" β
Ren Yuanfei nodded, and followed him to the corner of a banquet, along the way there were always strange men who cast amazing glances at her, she was a little surprised at first, until the sound of Linglang jade breaking came from her hair, she suddenly realized, this Xiao Huai!
Qin Deyi stabilized his slightly fat figure and said in a deep voice: "I'm here to say goodbye to my daughter." β
Qin Ruosu?
It is rumored that this Qin Ruosu is a charming woman who can't be found in ten miles and eight towns, and has the color of captivating the country and the city. But she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she has been raised in the deep boudoir, she has no chance to see it, but she is extremely beautiful, I am afraid that this is true, otherwise Qin Deyi would not look confident.
Ren Yuanfei was silent and asked, "Whose son?" β
Qin Deyi pretended to be embarrassed, but his tone was a little frivolous, "Although my little girl is short-sighted, she has a very high vision, and she is not looking at others, but the newly appointed prefect." β
Ren Yuan was stunned, but he didn't expect that the name of the new prefect was now popular in the town, and even the deep boudoir woman was heartbroken! Her heart twitched fiercely, and only after half a sound did she say expressionlessly: "Then I'm afraid that Boss Qin will be disappointed, the prefect already has a fiancΓ©e." β
Unexpectedly, Qin Deyi smiled on his face and said unhurriedly: "I know this, so ...... It doesn't matter if it's a concubine. β
Ren Yuanfei's heart suddenly swelled with an indescribable feeling, her heart was sour, and she tried her best to say as usual: "This ......", she thought for a while, and said with an embarrassed look: "I will bring the words, as for whether the prefect will take a concubine......
Before she finished speaking, Qin Deyi laughed treacherously, "You just have to mention it, the old man just let you go through the process, and I will arrange the rest." After speaking, he stuffed the painting in his hand to Ren Yuanfei and said, "This is the danqing statue of the little girl, please bring it to the adult!" β
After speaking, Qin Deyi strode away, leaving Ren Yuanfei standing alone under the banyan tree in a daze, the yellowed leaves fell like snow, Luoying flew and gently hit her shoulder, she slowly raised her head, her mood was turbulent and confused.
I expected that Qin Ruosu was very beautiful, but I didn't want to be so shocking! is just a portrait, there is already such beauty and charm, but imagine that when you see this person, you must be a sinking fish and a goose, and the moon is shy and shy.
She sighed and carefully put away the painting in her hand.
She had no intention of attending tonight's banquet, and was about to leave through the side door, when a girl's scream suddenly broke out not far away, she was stunned, this battle? Could it be that the new prefect is coming? Her heart tightened, she raised her eyes and found that the crowded place was actually the gate of the mansion, under the dim lights, in the light and misty moonlight, a laugh came uninhibitedly, Ren Yuanfei frowned, and the next second she saw a wild and uninhibited, flamboyant young man who was walking in her direction, striding towards a meteor!
The delicate and close-fitting clothes, as well as the fair and soft facial features, and the extravagance between the conversations, all make the women obsessed with him! Such a man can be counted by Ren Yuanfei with his eyes closed in Huangyou Town.
Her eyebrows jumped uncontrollably.
It's him?
