Chapter Twenty-Four: The Banquet at Sanssouci Palace
When An sent someone to invite us to the banquet, the medical hall was almost about to open, so Qu Fatsan didn't move, covered his stomach, and said Oh, my lord, I'm about to be hungry, and I have to run so far, don't do it, you go, I'll leave it here to eat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Qu Fat San didn't go, and the dustless Taoist naturally followed him.
The old Taoist priest didn't care about eating and drinking, except for being a vegetarian, he didn't have any other requirements.
But Luo Xiaobei was full of interest, and said Oh, I haven't seen An for a long time, I really miss her, or I'll go with you, right?
What she said was a bit false, I remembered that when she was in the Linhu clan, she didn't deal with An Ke very well, she has always been high, where has she seen An once, but now she is saying that she misses others, how to listen to it is awkward.
I was reluctant to take Luo Xiaobei with me, for fear that she would cause me some trouble, but Luo Xiaobei had to go, and he couldn't get rid of it.
I weighed it and decided to take Luo Xiaobei to the banquet.
It was Ann's chief of the guard who came to inform us, a woman with an indifferent face and few words, she was about forty years old, with broad shoulders, one with a big waist and a round waist, wearing leather armor, and quite a heroic style among women.
Her name is Mima.
Very strange name.
When I was on the road, I tried to get close to Meima, but I asked three questions, and the other party probably answered, and it was vague and I couldn't hear any information.
After a simple temptation, I did not continue, but chose to remain silent.
Arriving at Sanssouci Palace, this time we finally entered it, and walked through a long garden full of exotic flowers and plants, before we came to a building.
The captain of the guard bowed down to me and said that this is the place for the feast, and asked us to go in first.
I thought that Ann would come to meet me in person, and even if he didn't, he should have waited inside, but when we entered, there was no one else in the room except for a few maids.
The host was not there.
A little maid with bright eyes and bright teeth greeted me and said, "Mr. Lu Yan, the patriarch went out hunting, and he went to bathe first, let me ask Mr. to sit here, and she will come over in a while." β
After that, she looked at Luo Xiaobei next to me.
I said that this is still my friend, and I know Ann, so I came together.
The little maid nodded, smiled slightly, and led me over.
It's supposed to be a dining room, but it's not like a long table or a big round table, but a bit like the old one-person-one-coffee table, where everyone sits cross-legged on the floor and eats separately.
Outside was a large banquet hall, but next to it, there was a small hall, east, west, north and south, with four small black tables placed very close together.
The interior of this small hall is very luxuriously furnished, and under the small table, there is a white fur blanket.
I sat cross-legged and comfortable.
Luo Xiaobei seemed to be much more relaxed, sat down, touched left, touched again, and after the maids left, she looked at me and said, Hey, Lu Yan, your little lover's pomp is not small, you really became a big man, this living and eating are full of luxury......
I glared at her and said don't talk nonsense, it's a mess, and everyone is having a hard time.
Luo Xiaobei gave me a blank look, and said I'm just saying, what are you nervous about?
I don't talk to her, I wait quietly.
The wait was a little long, and after about a quarter of an hour, I heard footsteps outside the curtain of the small hall, and then the curtain was lifted, and Ann, who had obviously grown up, walked in in a yellow gauze dress.
Her long black and shiny hair was pulled up high, and she wore gold and silver jewelry, and a phoenix hairpin dotted it, which set off her delicate face in the past quite luxurious and a little more solemn.
She has become more and more beautiful, but it gives me a somewhat strange feeling.
Of course, it's just a feeling, after An walked in, he smiled sweetly at me and said Brother Lu Yan, you are here.
She looked very happy, but at this time, my attention was focused on the man in white beside Ann.
It was an extremely handsome man, in his twenties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, elegant and somewhat aggressive handsome, sword eyebrows standing on the blazing eyes, full of heroism, giving people the feeling that he was a little fresh meat known as the Canadian Gun King.
Not to mention anything else, this person is a guy who has absolute lethality to girls.
He should be Ann's marriage partner Songtao, right?
I nodded, smiled slightly, and said yes, I have something to do, and I just happened to come and see you.
An came into the house, originally wanted to come forward and hug me, but after taking two steps, as if remembering something, he turned around and pulled the Canadian cannon king - oh, wrong, it should be Song Tao's hand, smiled sweetly at him, and then said: "Tao, this is the Brother Lu Yan I have been talking to you about, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to live today, and I wouldn't be able to get to today's status......"
That Songtao is a very well-cultivated man, when he walked in, he kept smiling, and when he heard Ann's words, he stepped forward, and then arched his hand towards me and said: "In Xia Songtao, it is Ann's fiancΓ©, and I have seen Your Excellency." β
His attitude was very polite and modest, both warm and reserved.
I stepped forward and saluted him, then pointed to Luo Xiaobei next to me and said, "This is a friend of mine, who came here to do errands together, Luo Xiaobei." β
Songtao and Luo Xiaobei greeted each other again, and they were decent.
Luo Xiaobei was a jumpy character, his eyes were full of stars, and he said to Songtao nymphoacly: "Oh, you are so handsome......"
This made everyone a little embarrassed, and I saw that Ann's face was not very good.
Of course, these were all small episodes, and then we both sat down, An sat in the main seat, Song Tao sat on her left, Luo Xiaobei sat on the right side, and I sat opposite An.
We sat down here, and our maid served the food, and Ann apologized to me with a slight smile, saying that I went out hunting today, and when I came back, I heard that I had come to Seoul, and she asked people to invite me, while she hurried to bathe, but she hurried to hurry, and finally it was a little late.
With that, she raised her glass, punished herself, and apologized to me.
I raised my glass to drink, the wine was flower wine, mixed with honey, when I drank it sweet, it was very easy to drink, but I felt a little too tired, and I didn't like it very much.
After a brief speech, I said hello, saying that I heard about you, when is the wedding date?
An lowered her head shyly, and at this time, Songtao next to me said to me: "Seven days later, when the time comes, please Brother Lu must come over to cheer." β
He is also a cheerful and outgoing character, and after a few sentences, he called me a brother and sister, and put me on the platform of my mother's family, which made me a little uncomfortable.
And there are outsiders here, and I have a lot of words I want to talk to Ann, but I still haven't spoken.
It's not like I'm asking Ann what's going on in front of Songtao, right?
However, from the banquet, I can still see the deep love and sweetness between An and Songtao, which is indeed very similar to the appearance of a young man when he is in love, but it is not to say who persecuted whom.
It can be seen that An is still very satisfied with Songtao, not superficial feelings.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ann remembered to ask me what I was doing here.
After all, the two places are far apart, and it is impossible for me to know the news of her wedding in advance.
It's just a coincidence.
I told Ann that I had come here to find the blood of the poisonous dragon gecko, and that two friends had been injured and were waiting to be treated with this thing.
When I spoke of this, a hint of disappointment crossed Ann's eyes, but it soon disappeared, and then I offered to ask Ann to help me find out who had this thing here in the Chinese family, and I was willing to pay a lot of money for it.
An subconsciously looked at Song Tao, and Song Tao thought for a while, and then said: "As far as I know, there are three families in the Chinese family who have this thing of poisonous dragon gecko essence blood, but a month ago, someone spent a lot of money to take away all this thing, and it was not there on the surface, but maybe some people didn't disclose it, when I turned back, I asked someone to ask ...... every family."
Yes?
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked who took it?
Song Tao shook his head, he couldn't say clearly, he just heard about it.
My heart is a little heavy.
It can be seen that our decision to come to the Chinese is correct, in the past, there were three poisonous dragon gecko essence blood, any one can be, but this time it was preempted by someone, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find it again.
Songtao promised me that when I turned back, I would find out who had bought it, and if possible, I would have no problem asking for two people's essence blood with that person; There is another one, that is, Ann uses the authority of the patriarch to find out, and maybe there will be gains.
At the end of the feast, I wanted to have a private conversation with Ann, but she didn't mean that.
When she had finished entertaining me, she sent me off.
When I went out, I found that Songtao did not leave with me, could it be that the two of them have already lived together?
Thinking of this, I don't know why, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
As for why, I can't say.
Returned to the medical hall, the meal had already been finished here, Qu Fatsan and Wuchen Dao Chang went out to hang out, the Chinese are not curfew at night now, but it is also lively, I kept teasing Luo Xiaobei on the way back, upset, so I went back to the room, drank a glass of water, and calmed down a little, at this time the two elders came to the door.
I met with the second elder, talked about the poisonous dragon gecko's essence and blood, and talked about tonight's banquet.
After chatting for a while, Elder Magpie glanced at me, and then said, "Lu Yan, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. β
Yes?
