Send the second watch, and try to send the third watch tonight to make up for the day's arrears.

At this time, a middle-aged scholar sitting in the middle stood up, he raised his wine glass, and said with a smile to everyone: "The bright moon is like water, the weather is cool and autumn, this time we can escape from the hooves of the Hu people and reach Nanyang smoothly, it is really a thousand luck." Ladies and gentlemen, for our good fortune, drink this wine. ”
With that, he tilted his head and drank the wine from his glass.
Everyone at the table raised their wine glasses and drank them.
After the wine glass was refilled, the middle-aged scholar held it in both hands, turned to Ran Min, and said loudly: "General Ran, if it weren't for your help this time, we would never have escaped the clutches of the Hu people." Your kindness, my Wang family is unforgettable, come to make this cup! ”。
Ran Min stood up, he raised his wine glass, shook it at the middle-aged scholar, and said lightly: "Ran Min is also a Han son, this belongs to the family." ”
As soon as his voice fell, Wang Hong on one side said loudly next to him: "No, that's not how it should be." He also stood up and turned to the crowd, "Do you know who the second wave of Hu people we met that day was?" ”
Everyone shook their heads.
Wang Hong said loudly: "He is Murong Ke!" The young man in the mask, his name is Murong Ke! He said this with a look of disappointment on his face. Because the children of the scholar clan who were all dressed and fragrant, when they heard the word 'Murong Ke', they all brushed their brushes to show a confused expression.
Wang Hong sighed and said, "Xianbei Murong Ke is not an ordinary person. Ladies and gentlemen, the time we were able to survive from his iron horse, it was all due to General Ran. ”
He turned his head, faced Ran Min, suddenly bent down, and bowed deeply cautiously!
What kind of person is Wang Hong? As soon as he gave this salute, the hall was in an uproar.
After Wang Hong finished the salute, he walked to Ran Min's side and sat down. After he picked up a few wines and drank them all, he sighed: "The scholars are like this, the husbands are like this, we Jin people don't have many husbands anymore. ”
Ran Min lowered his eyebrows, his deep gaze, quietly staring at the swaying wine in his hand, and did not answer.
There was still a commotion in the hall, and since Wang Hong gave such a cautious and solemn salute, everyone looked at Ran Min with a little more caution and respect.
At this moment, a sound of silk bamboo floated from the corner of the hall.
As soon as the sound of the bamboo spread, the noise in the hall was loud, and all the children stood up and walked around.
And the girls also quietly opened the screen, moved the collapse, and gathered together in groups of three or five, giggling.
Chen Rong lowered her head, still tasting the wine in the cup, her screen moved, and several girls such as the seventh daughter of the Wang family appeared in front of her.
The seventh daughter of the Wang family stretched out her hand, unceremoniously snatched Chen Rong's wine glass and put it on the collapse, then pulled her sleeve, and said in a low voice: "You come out, I have something to ask." ”
Chen Rong did not resist, she let her sleeves be torn off, and followed the women to the side hall.
After a while, the women came to the small corridor on the right side of the side hall. The seventh daughter of the Wang family let go of her sleeves, supported Zhu Lan with her right hand, and glared at Chen Rong: "Chen Arong, do you want to be shameless?" Who wants you to play that phoenix to my seventh brother? ”
Chen Rong lowered his head and replied lightly: "No one." ”
"No one, you dare to be so shameless?"
Chen Rong slowly raised his head.
She stared at the seven daughters of the Wang family, this gaze was a little angry, the seven daughters of the Wang family were stunned, and when she thought she was dazzled, another girl sighed beside her: "Seventh sister, she lost her face, why are you in a hurry?" ”
"But, but she got Shichiro. Also, there is the fifth brother. ”
"Fifth brother, how could you get involved with the fifth brother?"
This time, several girls were curious.
The seven daughters of the Wang family are dumb, and these sisters around her are from the Nanyang Wang family, and they don't know that Wang Zhuo once intended to marry Chen Rong to Wang Wulang.
Unlike the Chen family, this Nanyang Wang clan is a side branch of the side branch, and its status is not as good as that of the Pingcheng Wang clan, so although Wang Hanyun is a guest house, he is not polite in front of them.
Just when the seventh daughter of the Wang family didn't know what to do, a delicate voice came from behind, "Chen Arong, the fifth brother said just now, your uncle Chen Yuan is going to give you to the king of Nanyang?" ”
This is big news.
Whoosh, all the girls turned their heads to look at Chen Rong for a while.
In the staring of the women, Chen Rong's little face turned white, she pursed her lips, blessed the women, turned around and left.
This time, the seventh daughter of the Wang family did not stop her, she looked at Chen Rong's retreating figure in panic, and muttered, "I see, no wonder." There was pity in the tone, and there was some schadenfreude in it.
This lowly Chen Ah Rong, no matter how talented he is? Her family wasn't going to sacrifice her yet! Hmph, fortunately, the fifth brother's desire to marry her was not leaked, otherwise, this shameless Chen Arong would not be holding on to Qilang, but to the fifth brother.
Chen Rong lowered his head and walked a few steps, and saw a side door not far away, so he walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the hall, a cold wind swept in. Winter is coming soon, and the night wind blowing in there is already a bitter chill.
Walking and walking, before he knew it, Chen Rong came to a small lake, which was only two acres in size, and the lake water was clear and visible. It's a pity that it's late autumn, and there is only one bright moon in the water.
Chen Rong lowered his head and looked at his own reflection in the water. Even though the lake is rippling and the moonlight is sparse, the people in the lake are also like flowers, and their youth is just right. Looking at it, Chen Rong stretched out his hand, and he didn't bend down to his reflection like this.
At this moment, a strong force pulled her, and a man's voice shouted, "What do you want to do?" ”
Chen Rong was stunned, raised his head, and the person who pulled her was a strong man in his thirties dressed as a guard. This strong man is quite familiar, Chen Rong looked at him, and unconsciously looked along the lake.
In a blink of an eye, she saw a young man in white clothes and beautiful as jade next to the rippling aquatic plants.
But it's Wang Hong!
never expected to see Wang Hong at this time, Chen Rong was a little embarrassed for some reason. She hurriedly greeted him and whispered in a panic, "Chen Rong has seen Qilang." ”
In the sound of wooden shoes, Wang Hong walked slowly towards her.
After a while, his slender willow-like, white-clothed figure appeared in her field of vision. Looking at her with his head down, Wang Qilang said in a low voice: "Why, the elegant and talented Chen Arong is so ashamed to see me?" Don't even dare to look up? ”
