Chapter Forty-Nine: Entering the House Noisily
The next day, the entrance of Ling's Mansion was already full of cars and horses, and there was an endless stream of guests. Jiang Wangchen and Hua Youyou hid in a corner of the wall across the street and secretly observed.
Jiang Wangchen said in a low voice: "You see, the two acquaintances at the door must be the housekeepers of the Ling Mansion, and everyone who goes to the banquet has an invitation, but we came empty-handed." ”
"Don't be nervous, after a while, when the big families come, we will be in the middle of it, and we will be able to get through. ”
Jiang Wangchen didn't believe it, and said, "Is it really possible?" I was a young man and had never seen anything in the world, so don't lie to me......
"Don't worry, I've been a demon for a hundred years, and I haven't seen any scenes. Hua Youyou squinted and smiled, and heard the sound of a rolling carriage, which caused a commotion, and then saw that the carriage had many attendants, and knew that the time had come, and shouted Jiang Wangchen next to him, and said: "Jiang Wangchen, go, mix into the carriage from the crowd next to you." ”
Seeing the flowers skillfully shuttling through the crowd, Jiang Wangchen followed closely behind, and soon the two joined the team, the golden silk embroidered leaf curtain was opened, and a graceful and luxurious lady surrounded by beads slowly walked out.
The old acquaintance was Steward Xie, and when he saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said courteously: "It is really an honor for Mrs. Liu to come to the cold house, please let the old slave lead Mrs. into the hall." ”
Mrs. Liu said politely: "Then there is Chief Rauche." After speaking, she walked slowly towards the lobby dignified and elegant, and her own entourage also followed, and at the end of the line, Jiang Wangchen and Hua Youyou, who also lowered their heads, followed silently.
Jiang Wangchen secretly praised: "You're still smart!"
Hua Youyu snickered: "Then it is needless to say, I have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have not seen any strong winds and waves. ”
Suddenly, he stopped the two with one hand: "You two stop, please show your invitation." ”
Hua Youyou said without being arrogant or humble: "We are Mrs. Liu's entourage. ”
"I see you sneakily following from behind, and dare to say that it is Mrs. Liu's entourage?"
Seeing that Hua Youyou had been exposed, his attitude softened, and he looked at the young acquaintance, his eyes were shining with tears, and he said with affection: "This young and charming little brother, we are distant relatives of the Ling family, and the invitation card was accidentally lost on the way we came, so you can be convenient and accommodating?"
Zhike said unmoved: "Then you reported your name, where did you come from, I quickly asked someone to review for you." ”
"Oh, people come and go here, the two of us are so embarrassed, isn't it embarrassing, little brother, you can be reasonable once, okay?"
The acquaintance still looked serious and said seriously: "I'm sorry, this is my duty, please understand and cooperate." ”
Jiang and Hua glanced at each other, at a loss.
Just as the two of them gave up and were about to leave, a familiar call came from behind their ears: "Brother Jiang!"
Jiang and Hua were also overjoyed to meet their brothers and sisters again.
Luo Xiao squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, looked at the dilemma of the two, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"The two of us woke up early in the morning and found that the invitation card was missing, and now this little brother stopped us and didn't let us in. Hua Youyou frowned and said, "The two of us are preparing to leave, and I don't know how to explain to my family when I go back." ”
"Then don't worry, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'm here. ”
"Don't worry, the Ling family still has to give us the face of the family. Luo Yu saw that Hua Youyou's still sad face and patted Hua Youyou's shoulder comfortingly.
At this time, Manager Xie broke his steps, ran back, saw a group of people gathered at the door, and asked Xiao Zhike: "Xiao An, what's going on." ”
"Back to Chief Xie, these two people who claimed to be distant relatives of the Ling family came to the banquet, but they lost the invitation and were stopped by me. ”
Manager Xie nodded, and looked at Jiang and Hua with disdain, wanting to step forward to catch up, but Luo Xiao stepped forward first, handed out the invitation and said, "Manager Xie, this is an invitation, please take a look." ”
Manager Xie opened the invitation card and looked at it, the inviter on the invitation card was impressively written, "The leader of the Xihai Islands Alliance-Luo Haisheng", Manager Xie couldn't help but be surprised, and said respectfully to the young man in front of him: "May I ask who the son is?"
"Luo Haisheng, the leader of the West Sea Islands Alliance, is my father, and I am the third son of the Luo family, Luo Xiao. ”
When Mr. Xie saw that Luoxiao's identity was so noble, he half-bowed and greeted him with a smile: "It turned out to be the son of the Luo family, hurry, hurry, please inside." ”
Luo Xiao still stood with his hands in his hands, not angry and arrogant, looked at Steward Xie arrogantly, and said after a while: "These two are friends of Luo, and they are distant relatives of your Ling Mansion, I wonder if you can enter with Luo?"
Manager Xie turned his head to look at Jiang and Hua, his attitude improved significantly, and he said modestly: "Since you are a friend of Gongzi, you are naturally a distinguished guest." To be able to deign to go to the banquet is the glory of our Ling Mansion. ”
Jiang Wangchen looked at Manager Xie's inflammatory, he only felt disgusted, and he didn't bother to respond, so he entered the Ling Mansion with everyone.
Jiang Wangchen thanked: "This time I really thank Brother Luo." ”
Luo Xiao waved his hand and said politely: "Brother Mo is polite, why do you need to thank you for trivial matters." ”
Hua Youyou was surprised: "It turns out that you are from the West Sea Alliance, I really didn't expect it." ”
Luo Xiao said: "I deliberately concealed it before, because I was afraid that after the two of us knew our identity, they would be restrained and have a friendship, so please don't forgive me." ”
"Where will it be. Hua Youyou smiled, and said to Jiang Wangchen, who was talking and laughing with Luo Yu on the side: "Husband, you didn't say that you had a stomach trouble just now, why didn't you go to the toilet." ”
Jiang Wangchen frowned and said, "Ah...... Where do I have?"
Hua Youyou frowned and said, "You forgot?"
Jiang Wangchen couldn't hold on, and said exaggeratedly: "Ouch! My stomach started to hurt again, the two of you are really embarrassed, Jiang Mou lost his company first." ”
Luo Xiao smiled dumbly, and said, "Brother Mo, take care!" and suddenly put away his smile, and said to Hua Youyou with a solemn face: "Hua Youyou, I don't know what your purpose is for mixing into the Ling Mansion, but there are dozens of masters in the Ming here, and I don't know how many in the secret, you should be careful." ”
Hua Youyou saw that Luo Xiao had seen through it, and knew that he really cared about himself, and said, "Well, we will pay attention, thank you for your help this time." ”
"Sister Youyou, my eldest brother has long known that you and Brother Mo are definitely not husband and wife, and there must be something difficult for the two of you to deliberately conceal your identity, but in the past two days, we can also see that Brother Mo and you are both upright people. I will never do anything that disobeys my conscience and hurts my conscience. Luo Yu said with earnest concern: "So, if you can, Sister Youyou, can you tell us the purpose of your and Brother Mo's trip, maybe we can help." ”
Hua Youyou was embarrassed, but after getting along with this brother and sister in the past two days, I also knew that they were innocent in heart, generous and righteous, and they had to help each other just now, so there should be no more concealment, and said softly: "The two of you are so righteous, I Hua Youyou as a friend, and I really can't hide it, I can tell you the purpose of our trip, but I hope you don't interfere again, the two of us can get your understanding, we are already very relieved, and we can no longer implicate the two." ”
Luo Xiaoyi said: "Although Brother Mo and I have only known each other for two days, we are also in the same direction, regarded as confidants, if the two of you are in trouble, let me ignore it, if I don't hear it, then how can I feel at ease in the future." ”
Luo Yu persuaded: "Since Sister Youyou's mind has been decided, brother, don't embarrass her, people can confess to us, they are already in our hearts, and we should also understand others." ”
Luo Xiao argued more and more, but was stopped by Luo Yu, Luo Yu said: "Sister Youyou, you say it's okay, we will never interfere." ”
Luo Xiao saw that Luo Yu had already opened her mouth to express her position, so she could only nod her head in compliance.
For the two of them, Hua Youyou had even more respect in his heart, it turned out that there were also people with such temperament among the human race, and said: "I can't hide it, the two of us are trying to rescue the detained spirit bamboo beast in the dungeon of Lingfu, this spirit bamboo shoot beast is kind to us, we can't see death without saving it." ”
Luo Yu said: "Are you talking about the earth elf bamboo shoot beast?"
Hua Youyou was surprised: "Sister Luoyu also knows about this spirit bamboo shoot beast?"
"It was I who saw in an ancient medical book that the earth elf bamboo shoot beast is born from the essence of the earth, looks like a simple and lovely white radish, mild temperament, so lively, so often go together, has a very high medicinal value, especially for the elderly, has the wonderful use of restoring the pulse and strengthening the spleen, nourishing the lungs, and prolonging life. ”
Hua Youyou nodded and praised: "Because of this, they were captured by the Ling Mansion, but fortunately, the people of the Ling Mansion should not be in a hurry to attack them." ”
Luo Xiao said: "Since this is the case, we will respect your choice and will not interfere." But if you really need support, just ask, and I'll be your most reliable shoulder. ”
Hua Youyou nodded, and her emotion was beyond words. After hugging Luoyu again, he said goodbye and didn't enter the crowd.
Luo Xiao looked at the back of the flower, and disappeared in an instant among the crowded guests.
"This trip to Dongxuan is a great way to get to know the two of them, and it's not worth it. ”
Luo Yu smiled: "Yes, but, brother, I look at your eyes when you look at Sister Youyou, it's different, you have never been so interested in a girl before." ”
Luo Xiao smiled and did not deny it.
