In the midst of a salute, where everyone's eyes gathered, Xiao Mu, who was dressed in a crow blue robe, walked in with Yin Hai. Followed by two close entourages carrying birthday gifts, they stopped outside the hall door and handed over the birthday gifts to the servants of Pei's mansion.

All the people present have only heard of this Jiedu envoy who holds the power of Yingzhou, the rebellion of the king of Pingjin, and the recovery of the five cities in three years, but has never had the opportunity to see him-

When he came, no one expected that he would be able to meet this rumored Dingbei Marquis at this birthday banquet!

Compared to the birthday gift given out, that's really a lot of money...... No, it's a lot of money!

Even though the people who have made numb money are afraid, they can't help but quietly cast their eyes.

Even though he knew that this Marquis of Dingbei was young, but what he saw with his own eyes at this time, he was still surprised and amazed-

Although it is not worth mentioning at all compared to its merits and fame, and the many rumors that haunt it, it is not worth paying attention to at all, but when people see a certain extent, it is always impossible to ignore.

The young man who walked into the hall was tall and long, with a fair face, noble and handsome, and at first glance he only looked like a handsome man with a good reputation. The aura around him is cold and silent, as if a statue of a god who will not be disturbed by any mundane things, which makes people admire and marvel at it and unconsciously give birth to a sense of looking up.

In the women's banquet, many big ladies and little ladies were stunned.

Sure enough, it is a living bodhisattva who protects the northern land......

If these are not considered bodhisattvas, then how can they be?

The rules of the Northland have always been more casual, even if the Pei family holds a banquet, the men and women are only divided into left and right, and they are not separated by screens.

Yes, when Yin Hai said in surprise, "Ah, isn't that Ji painter?" ", Xiao Mu looked at the place where the female dependents were at the table, and sure enough, he saw someone concentrating on eating pine nuts-

When passing by the upper seat, Xiao Mu stopped and raised his hand to salute.

"Mother—"

Mrs. Xiao turned her head to look at her son, who she hadn't seen for a few days, and nodded with satisfaction.

His complexion looks much better.

When the person came to him, Heng Yu had to look at it too, and shouted with a smile: "Master Hou." ”

"Why are you here?" Xiao Mu lowered his voice slightly and asked.

Heng Yu didn't have time to answer, Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows first, and also lowered her voice: "How can the stinky boy speak?" You can come, why can't Ah Heng? ”

Xiao Mu: "? ”

Did he say anything?

Hengyu also lowered his voice: "I said last night that I would see you tomorrow——"

Xiao Mu was silent for a moment.

He thought that "see you tomorrow" meant that she would go to him tomorrow.

No wonder, he waited all day......

Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up darkly when she heard this-the two of them secretly met last night?

Why didn't anyone tell her about such an important thing, and the eyeliner she planted didn't do much!

"I don't know if Marquis Xiao is here today, the lower officials have missed the welcome, and the hospitality is not considerate, please also invite Hou Ye Haihan!" Pei Ding had already walked over, with a smiling face, and he was about to salute when he lifted his robe.

Xiao Mu stretched out a hand to stop his movements: "Today is Pei Shi's birthday, so it is not appropriate to make this big gift." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou." Pei Dingchang gave a salute and said busily: "Please sit down!" ”

Looking at the place where Pei Ding raised his hand, Yin Hai smiled and said, "Pei Tingshi has the ability to predict the future?" Or is it too detailed? I actually reserved a place for Hou Ye in advance——"

Pei Ding smiled unabatedly: "General Yin said that he was joking, Pei Mou had the cheekiness to send a post to Hou Ye, whether Hou Ye came or not, this seat was naturally reserved for Hou Ye." Don't say that Pei's small Thorn Mansion is a place, even if it is the seat on the north of the entire Yingzhou, it can only be Hou Ye alone! ”

Yin Hai smiled noncommittally: "Pei Tingshi should be cautious." ”

While speaking, Pei Ding had already led Xiao Mu to the seat, Yin Hai looked around, and suddenly "babbled" and said, "Did Pei Tingshi invite one less person?" ”

Pei Ding hurriedly asked: "Pei doesn't know where there is a omission, and I ask General Yin to remind one or two ......."

Xiao Mu sat down, and Yin Hai said with a smile: "Didn't Pei Tingshi know that there was a Yan family Langjun in the city earlier?" ”

Pei Ding was slightly stunned.

"Yan family? Mo is not the firm name of Tingzhou Yan? ”

Yin Hai nodded: "In addition, there is naturally no second Yan family." ”

"This ......" Pei Ding said with a smile: "Pei and the Yan family have never intersected, but they never thought of this. ”

Although he is not a big person, but the Pei family is a big family, why does General Yin think that he will be good friends with businessmen and others?

Pei Ding's eyes flashed slightly, and there was no different color on his face.

"That Yan Langjun likes to make friends very much, and he has visited my family many times, so I also have some dealings with Pei Tingshi......" Yin Hai seemed to mention it casually, and quickly threw away this topic, and said with a smile: "Pei Tingshi is a birthday star today, don't stand for a long time, hurry up and take a seat!" ”

Seeing that Pei Ding saluted Xiao Mu again and again, and only then took his seat, Heng Yu sighed in his heart—it was all big foxes and old foxes.

Although she was not very quiet and couldn't hear what a few people were saying, she could vaguely distinguish that she had mentioned the word "Yan" several times.

At this time, the "Yan" family in Yingzhou City is the most eye-catching Yan Jin.

Yan Jin came to Yingzhou, if it was just a whim, even she didn't believe it.

And this time Xiao Mu came to the banquet, it was impossible to eat just for a meal-

Surrounded by wolves, he also needs to distinguish whether they are the same group or not.

If it's the same pack, it's always easier to find out who is behind the wolves. If it weren't for the same road, throwing the Yan family out at this time would inevitably make the other party vigilant, watch the tiger fight across the mountain, and let the two sides explore each other's details, which is also beneficial and harmless.

On the banquet, under a few words, you can secretly make waves.

Heng Yu glanced at Xiao Mu.

But when he came today, he wouldn't just test this Pei Tingshi for words, right?

And this Pei Thorn History-

Hengyu, like everyone else, looked at the birthday boy who stood up with a wine cup and smiled at the visitor.

After saluting the guests, Pei Ding toasted Xiao Mu alone.

Xiao Mu drank all the wine in the cup.

Pei Ding's smile became more and more on his face, and he entertained the guests with chopsticks: "Less wine and thin dishes, please don't be weird, don't be restrained!" ”

After three rounds of drinking, the slightly restrained atmosphere during the banquet was gradually relaxed a lot because of the presence of the Marquis of Dingbei.

Many people began to leave the table to toast each other, and Xiao Mu kept coming to the table.

Although the Marquis of Dingbei was deeply involved in the rumors of the treasure map and was feared by the imperial court, at least at this time, the other party was still the most powerful person in the north, there was no doubt about it.

Moreover, it is said that the saint of Jingzhong is seriously ill, and no one can predict what will happen in the future......

When everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Yin Hai drank glass after glass for Xiao Mu, the smile on his face was undiminished, and he was bitter in his heart - Amitabha, the general asked him to come today, what he really fancied, I'm afraid it's not his amount of alcohol, right?

Halfway through the banquet, a butler came to Pei Ding's side: "My lord, the acrobatics and singing and dancing arranged earlier are all ready......

Pei Ding smiled and explained: "Master Hou is also here today, let them all cheer up and perform!" ”

The butler replied "yes" and retreated.

The first to come to the hall is the acrobatic team, jumping pills and playing the altar, stacking arhats, picking longevity peaches, hanging longevity couplets, and performing very festively.

In the end, the steamed bun made in the shape of a longevity peach was presented to Pei Ding.

Pei Ding stroked his palms and motioned to the housekeeper to send a silver reward to the young man who offered the longevity peach.

"Thank you, Lord Pei! May Lord Pei be blessed like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan! ”

As the acrobatic team left the stage, the sound of silk music began, and a group of graceful dancers appeared in everyone's sight with light steps.

They are dressed in red and green dance clothes, holding flying fairy buns, some holding fans, and some holding silk ribbons around their arms, like the flying fairies depicted in the murals.

The dancers sometimes raise the long silk in their hands, and sometimes twirl like colorful butterflies to the music, which makes people dazzled.

"When you look at our house, you sit there like a piece of wood!" Mrs. Xiao glanced at Xiao Mu, who was sitting upright, and sighed with Hengyu: "The wood is a little wood, but if you take it home to be a gentleman, it will be a good peace of mind......

Heng Yu nodded in agreement: "Hou Ye is indeed the first choice for home necessities." ”

Even if it's a piece of wood, it's also an interesting piece of wood that you don't know about.

"yes!" Mrs. Xiao smiled and stretched out the corners of her eyes, and put a candied date into the plate in front of Hengyu.

At this moment, suddenly there was an exclamation from the dancing girl.

Finally got to the right point?

Heng Yu hurriedly raised his head and looked over curiously.

As soon as the music stopped, the dancer who was the leader knelt down in front of Xiao Mu's table in fright: "Master Hou forgives his sins!" Master Hou forgives his sins! ”

What's going on?

The guests who were close could see it very clearly, it was this dancing girl who was dancing, and when the ribbon in her hand flew out, she accidentally swept the wine cup on Xiao Hou's case, wetting that person's robe-

It's not a big deal, but this person's identity is here, and if it really happens, it won't end well......

"Bastard! Don't you have long eyes? ”

Pei Ding got up in fright, reprimanded the dancing girl, and hurriedly came to Xiao Mu's case to make amends.

"Please also ask Hou Ye to calm his anger, Xia Guan will let people drop this bad luck thing that doesn't have long eyes and collided with Hou Ye! Someone—"

"Wait." Xiao Mu said indifferently: "It's not appropriate to defeat Pei Tingshi and your Yaxing for this trivial matter." ”

The housekeeper glared at the dancing girl from the side: "Don't thank you a lot of Hou Ye yet!" ”

"Thank you, Master Hou...... Thank you Lord Hou for your forgiveness! Mai Ji's voice trembled and she kowtowed.

"Okay, let's step back quickly......" Pei Ding waved his hand again and again.

The dancing girls quickly bowed their heads and withdrew.

"Xiaguan took the Hou Ye to the guest room to change clothes!" Pei Ding hunched his waist and said.

"As the master's family, Pei Tingshi left all the guests behind, such a trivial matter, so he didn't bother Pei Tingshi to accompany him." Xiao Mu stood up and said in a flat voice.

"This ......" Pei Ding smiled again and again: "Thank you, Hou Ye, thank you...... Housekeeper, take Master Hou to change his clothes. ”

"Yes, Master Hou, please come with the villain."

When Xiao Mu left the table, his eyes glanced at the direction of Hengyu as if he was nothing.

Looking at him in a trance, Hengyu blinked.

People are inviting you into the urn, and he is inviting you into the urn.

Good evening, everyone~
