Chapter 153: Seated
After the ladies of the family entered, they saw that it was Zhu Zhifu who sat on the main seat of the banquet, and the sons of the family in Jiangnan were all sitting on the left, and the right side was empty, that is, the position reserved for the female dependents.
Those sons of the family are all famous in Jiangnan, but Xie Qingyu doesn't know any of them.
Her whole day life is boring for most people, most of the time she spends studying, and the rest of the time is either with Qin Zixuan or studying with Nangong Chengyu.
didn't have a chance to contact other men, but Xie glanced at it lightly.
Well, none of them are better looking than Nangong Chengyu.
Even the handsome Yun Jinyu is also a leader among this group of people.
"Meet the prefect."
All the candidates saluted to Zhu Zhifu.
"Everyone, please take a seat, now that the election for female officials is over, there is no need to be polite." Governor Zhu said slowly in an old voice, and gestured with his hand to the empty seat on the right.
And Mrs. Zhu sat in the back seat of the prefect.
And Xie Qingyu, the current leader of Jiangnan, is the main figure at today's banquet.
"This is our Jiang Ning's leader this time, Jiang Ning Xie Jia's Xie Qing rumor!"
As soon as the prefect saw Xie Qingyu, he beckoned him to the main seat on the right and sat down.
introduced Xie Qingyu to everyone on the field, and he looked quite proud.
Xie Qingyu only nodded at everyone when he heard this, and smiled indifferently.
Xie Qingyu listened to the words of Governor Zhu, and then stood up and saluted those sons of the family.
"It's polite." Xie Qingyu's slightly cold voice came into everyone's eyes.
Although today's Xie Qingyu is not powdered, the beautiful posture on the face is very moving, the skin is like condensation, the face is like a peach blossom, a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, bright like stars, and there is a faint bookish atmosphere between the eyebrows, which adds a sense of beauty and refinement.
"I thought that the daughter of the Xie family was not good-looking, but I didn't expect that I really thought too much when I saw it today."
"How can the leader of Jiangnan be unworthy of his name?"
"This Miss Light Rumor was a pair of sixteen that day, and the poems were not a problem at all, and even the most difficult scripture and righteousness exams were also on the cards."
"And I heard that last year's song in Jiangning City was written by her for a long time!"
"What? I just heard it before, but I didn't expect that these poems were all written by Xie Qingyu. ”
"What a strange woman can have such talent?"
……
For a while, when the men's seat learned that the person opposite was the leader of Jiangnan, they all whispered about Xie Qingyu.
From time to time, he glanced in the direction of Xie Qingyu.
Later, the prefect also introduced Xie Youran to everyone.
Xie Youran is much more famous than Xie Youran, and basically most of the sons of the family know Xie Youran, and they also appreciate Xie Youran.
After introducing the top three, Zhu Zhifu saw that this group of people was still a little restrained, so he spoke.
"It's a family feast today, so you can be as casual as you like."
Since Qin Zixuan left, Xie Qingyu has no friends in Gusu City, and Xie Qingyu didn't feel anything in the past, but today she saw that other people were mostly chatting and drinking, and she was left sitting on the seat by herself, and she was inevitably a little bored for a while.
I had to eat the food on the table by myself, and when I ate on weekdays, Qin Zixuan could talk to her, but now she was the only one left, and she was really a little unaccustomed to it.
She was alone, she didn't dare to drink, no one sent her back to the Zhuangyuan Building this time, and Qin Zixuan's memories kept flashing in front of Xie Qingyu over and over again at this moment.
But fortunately, after participating in today's Dengdi banquet, she can go home, and when she goes to the capital in the future, she will be able to see Zixuan at that time.
At the thought of going home, Xie Qingyu's originally somewhat lost mood also became better.
Xie Youran saw Xie Qingyu eating, and the disdain in his heart was even worse, the concubine is a concubine in the end, and now she is the leader of Jiangnan and is still so unacceptable.
But that's fine, lest you go to Huangquan today and go hungry!
Thinking like this, Xie Youran's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, today she laid a net waiting for Xie Qingyu, and now she almost jumped in by herself, Xie Youran smiled coldly, and her eyebrows were full of pride.
"The Hou Shizi of Wu'an has arrived!"
Just when everyone was drinking and chatting during the banquet, the little guy at the door shouted loudly.
When everyone heard the words of Nangong Chengyu, the prince of Wu'an, they almost didn't hold the wine glass in their hands.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival banquet a few days ago, everyone had already understood Nangong Chengyu's methods, and they all changed very well-behaved for a while.
"Meet His Royal Highness."
Today's Nangong Chengyu is wearing a pale blue scattered flower brocade leather jacket, with a blue vortex rhino belt tied around his waist, with a pair of indifferent eyes, his body is straight, and the whole person looks majestic and noble.
Behind him was a man in a black suit with an expressionless face.
This man is the secret guard placed by Nangong Chengyu, and the stabbing wound a few days ago has taught him a deep lesson.
At this moment, all the people in the pavilion began to salute Nangong Chengyu, and Zhu Zhifu also gave up his main seat, and then sat on the left side of the men's seat.
"Don't be polite, I'm not here to investigate the case today." Nangong Chengyu saw that everyone was very scared, and knew that the events at the banquet that day and night must have left a deep impression on everyone, and said coldly.
It's just that his rather blunt tone made everyone even more panicked.
Xie Qingyu thought that this banquet was for the top three candidates, but he didn't expect that there would be a men's seat, so he actually invited Nangong Chengyu here.
The two of them hadn't seen each other since the last time they took the antidote pill, but today they were fateful and ran to the prefect's house.
Because Nangong Chengyu is the son of the world, for a while, many sons of the family in the men's table gave Nangong Chengyu a toast in a proper manner, and the atmosphere on the table was not as serious as that for a while, and they resumed their previous drinking and fun.
Because they drank a few glasses of wine with Nangong Chengyu, everyone was not so afraid of Nangong Chengyu at this time, after all, Nangong Chengyu ordered to kill the guilty person that day!
Nangong Chengyu came a little late today, and after a while, when everyone had eaten almost enough, Zhu Zhifu proposed that everyone could go to taste tea with him.
The only thing Zhu Zhifu loved in his life was tea, and there were a lot of famous teas piled up and down the house.
"Master, presumably these young ladies don't have much research on tea, so why don't you let them take a turn in Helin?" Mrs. Zhu proposed very intimately.
After all, there is still a difference between the previous appreciation of men and women, and Zhu Zhifu thought about it for a while and felt that it was feasible, or that Mrs. was thoughtful.
"That's the case, then ladies and gentlemen, you can choose for yourself in this Zhu Mansion, or you can go to Helin to find me to taste tea, I have a lot of treasures, if you are tired, the east side room has already been prepared, you can rest at any time." Governor Zhu turned his head and said to everyone.
Lotus Forest is the most unique garden in the entire Zhu Mansion, and it is considered to be the number one in the entire Jiangnan.
The reason why the lotus forest is called the lotus forest is because the name of the source is closely related to the lotus flower, and the current season is a good time for the lotus to bloom, and the lotus flowers in the lotus forest are almost as dense as the woods.
Every summer, the lotus flowers in Zhufu are fragrant for more than ten miles.
Xie Qingyu saw that all the people who went with Zhu Zhifu were male guests, and she was still a little uncomfortable in the past, so she planned to go to Holin by herself to take a turn.
But what surprised her was that Xie Youran actually followed Zhu Zhifu to taste tea.
Xie Youran inadvertently glanced at the people in the shadows, and followed Zhu Zhifu all the way to Yi Mingxuan.
He Lin was not far from the place where their Siyuan Pavilion was located, and they would see it after passing through a few more corridors.
For some reason, Xie Qingyu always felt an ominous premonition, and this premonition became stronger and stronger, and he always felt that something would happen.
Xie Qingyu had never felt this way, she only felt that the danger was inexplicable, she subconsciously ate the pill she had prepared earlier, and only then did she feel more comfortable in her heart.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, I came to the legendary Helin.
I saw that the whole pond was as big as a lake, and it was full of lotus flowers, and the pink and white lotus flowers were blooming luxuriantly at this moment, and there was a feeling of infinite blue lotus leaves.
On both sides of the lotus forest, on the left side is a wooden promenade, and in one place of the promenade there is a small bridge paved with bluestone bricks, which leads directly to the opposite bank of the lotus forest, the pen and ink pavilion.
After the corridor, there is also a hexagonal pavilion made of dark red paint in Helin, but at this moment, there are already a lot of young ladies sitting there, Xie Qingyu doesn't know those young ladies, and he doesn't bother to cause trouble, so he sits on the edge of the corridor and has nothing to do.
"Miss Xie, Miss Xie." Just when Xie Qingyu was watching He Lin lose his mind, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded around him.
But Xie Qingyu never remembered where she heard it, Xie Qingyu looked up and saw a strange face, she didn't recognize it, but this woman was wearing a Zhufu Yahuan's clothes, and her hair bun was also dressed as a Yahuan, although Xie Qingyu felt strange, but she didn't suspect it.
"Who are you?" Xie asked lightly.
"The slave and maid painted the fan, I came to serve tea to the ladies on the order of the master, and the master treasured the tea."
As he was talking, the painting fan approached Xie Qingyu a little closer, and handed the teacup to Xie Qingyu's hand.
It's just that the closer the painting fan gets to Xie Qingyu, Xie Qingyu feels that the fragrance on the girl's body is quite heavy, and it doesn't smell like a common fragrance.
After Xie Qingyu took the tea, there was a trace of doubt in his heart.
He is obviously in a very remote position, and this girl can still find herself to serve tea to herself, Xie Qingyu is not sure about the origin of the cup of tea in his hand for a while.
Now that I'm alone, I naturally have to be careful in everything.
However, Xie Qingyu suddenly remembered that he had just taken the antidote pill given by Nangong Chengyu, which can be said to be inviolable.
What is this little tea?
Thinking like this, Xie Qingyu put his mind at ease, and the weather is indeed hot, and now it is very good to drink a cup of tea.
After drinking the tea, Xie Qingyu casually placed the teacup in the tray served by Yahuan.
