Chapter 101: Go to the banquet in Nanyuan
Early in the morning, Nanyuan is secluded.
At noon, merchants, literati and soldiers entered Nanyuan one after another, singing and dancing to level up, and warblers and swallows came and went.
There are four seasons of snow in the north, and since the completion of the South Garden, it has been like a spring breeze that does not ask about joy and sorrow, which warms the hearts of the boys and provokes the anger of the daughter's family.
The sun is falling on the West Mountain, which should be the most lively time in Nanyuan, but today's Nanyuan is actually full of thugs along the street, and many drinkers have been driven out by Nanyuan's thugs. The diners who went here asked and learned that the eight sons of the family had jointly chartered the venue, among which the surnames were more noble than the other, and there was even news that Lu Xing was coming to the banquet.
The slanting sun shone through the window, and there was a figure behind the curtain.
"Childe, Childe, you can hurry up, Grandma is going to drive people away." A girl with a green face walked into the courtyard, her chest was wrapped in a pale blue plain clothes, her shoulders were wrapped with shawls, the skirt on her lower body could only cover the base of her thighs, the girl was barefoot, and she wore a gold bell ring on her white ankles.
"What? Sleep a little longer. Lan Wu felt yelling, lifted the quilt up, covered his head and fell asleep.
The young girl was so anxious that she stomped her feet, holding a basin of water in her hand, her face was cramped and uneasy, and she said: "Childe, the slave family begs you, I beg you, you get up, if you don't get up, Grandma will definitely punish me." You should have pity on me, okay? β
"Childe?" "Slaves?" "Grandma?"
Lan Wu had a burst of excitement in his brain, suddenly lifted the futon, and looked at it again, and there was a pink mattress on his body, embroidered with daffodils one after another, and a faint woman's body fragrance on the couch. And most importantly, he was naked.
"Wait, there was a girl last night. Yes, this girl carried me on her back. Then went to Nanyuan, Nanyuan? β
Lan Wu's heart was turbulent, and he exclaimed: "This is Nanyuan? Who are you? You brought me back? Where's my clothes? β
The four questions in a row were almost finished in one breath, and the young girl was stunned for a while, and the pestle remained in place for a long time.
Lan Wu lifted the bed curtain, poked his head out to look at the decoration in the room, and then saw the young girl's dress, he nodded and said, "It's really Nanyuan, but can you carry me back?" Just your little body? β
Lan Wu said, quickly picking up the clothes on the ground and putting them on as quickly as possible. He jumped out of the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked the young girl, "Say, what do you want to get when you bring me back?" Let me tell you, you are not allowed to blackmail me, if you want me to help you redeem yourself, don't say it, the whole northern land knows how expensive your Nanyuan woman is, and I can't afford it. β
The young girl put the copper basin filled with water on the ground, and then used silk to stick to the water to clean up Lan Wu's face, "Yu Gongzi, my name is Bugu, and I am a little girl in Nanyuan. β
The cuckoo threw the dirty silk back into the basin of water and twisted it three times before it was carefully hung on one side.
"Childe doesn't have to pay, the big sister who brought you here has already helped you pay the money, saying that she will let you stay overnight. Grandma asked her if she wanted to find two women to accompany you, and she suddenly changed her face and scolded Grandma. β
"However, the big sister gave too much silver, so Grandma couldn't bear to return the favor, and then handed you over to me."
Cuckoo squatted down, lifted Lan Wu's feet, and put on shoes for him, "Childe sleeps in my room, Cuckoo is not greedy, and he doesn't want Childe's reward, but Childe is really leaving at this moment." β
Lan Wu frowned and listened, but he couldn't remember the woman's face last night, he drank too much wine last night, and his head was still a little dizzy, so he simply didn't want to.
"Why are you leaving? It's going to be evening, where does Nanyuan come to drive people away? β
Cuckoo trembled, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The prince doesn't know, today the eight sons of the eight families are jointly chartered to invite the prince." ThereforeγTherefore, those who do not have an invitation card should leave earlyγ When he said the second half of the sentence, Cuckoo raised his head timidly, and his eyes secretly observed Lan Wu's complexion.
Lan Wu put one hand to his forehead and said, "Okay." Cuckoo yes, let me ask you one last question, did something happen to us last night? He was worried, Cuckoo looked at the age of fifteen at most, and such a young girl couldn't do it himself. Although...... Lan Wu's gaze fell on Bugu's chest, and the tight snow skin was strangled with a faint red mark by the plain clothes that bound the chest.
Cuckoo hurriedly said: "No, absolutely nothing." Childe, you don't have fun saying this! Two years ago, Seojin City issued a decree saying that girls under the age of 15 could not have sex with men, and if they were caught, they would be imprisoned for 20 years. β
Lan Wu was a little stunned, first, he stayed in the army all the year round and rarely returned to Xuejin City, so he really didn't know that there was such a decree, and second, he didn't expect that the cuckoo in front of him was a child under fifteen.
Facing Lan Wu's surprised gaze, Cuckoo straightened his waist and raised his chest, "Childe looks down on people!" I'm fifteen months away, and I'll be able to make as much money as my sisters. β
Lan Wu chuckled at the corner of his mouth, "Bugu, believe it or not, you will still be able to see me in a few hours?" β
"Hmph," Cuckoo pouted, she got up, and her two jade arms pushed Lan Wu to get up, "Childe, let's go, if you don't leave, Grandma will really be angry." β
"Okay, okay." Lan Wu didn't say anything more, and left the room in a few steps.
β¦β¦
At the main entrance of Nanyuan, everyone in Xuejin City who can get on the table has come.
Headed by the sons of Chen Wang Li Dong, Tang Mo and Song Shu, about 20 sons stood at the forefront, they also belonged to a group of people who could enter the inner courtyard of Nanyuan for a while, and most of the sons of the rest of the family could only have fun elsewhere in Nanyuan, and the primary purpose of their visit was to visit Lu Xing.
"Coming, coming......" There were constant cheers from far and near, and the crowd was as lively as boiling water.
Chen Gu looked up, opened the folding fan, and waved it gently, "It's here, it's the frame of Lu Xing!" β
He folded the fan, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, wait with me for the world's master." β
Wang Yingde didn't seem to hear Chen Gu's words, and said sarcastically: "You must know that Chen Gong is seriously ill because of Lu Xing, why don't you even care about your own grandfather, but are so polite to Lu Xing?" β
"In my opinion," Wang Yingde chuckled: "This Xuejin City is not three years ago, and the son of the family should change the ranks." β
As soon as these words came out, the sons of the surrounding families discussed a lot and were shocked by Wang Yingde's words.
Dong Zhengwen frowned and said: "Don't argue between the two, this banquet is for good fate, now that Sun Wu is dead, we must remember not to make enemies with the son." β
Li Chuanting, who was standing on the far left, took a step forward and shouted: "Your Dong family's distant relatives in Pinghe County gathered people to rebel and were beheaded by the prince, isn't your Dong family jointly and severally responsible?" β
"Li Chuanting, what are you talking about!" Dong Zhengwen shouted, looked at Li Chuanting angrily, and explained: "The Dong family of Pinghe County has no blood relationship with us, and everyone in the world knows that my Dong family is dedicated to serving the north. β
"Yo," Li Chuanting pursed his lips, his eyes full of sarcasm, "I heard that you recognized Dong Xiangxue as your cousin, why don't you recognize it now?" It's pathetic. β
"Enough!" Chen Gu shouted, ending the quarrel between the two.
At this moment, the four-passenger car stopped at the gate of Nanyuan, and the driver was Lei Ying, and there was a silver gun in the front room.
Everyone showed a look of consternation, Lei Ying defeated fourteen old generals with one shot yesterday and became famous in Xuejin City, and then the old affairs of Lei Ying's father and mother were picked up by people with ulterior motives, causing the people on the side of the road to look at Lei Ying with slightly complicated eyes.
The four tall horses stopped, the curtain was lifted by a jade hand, and the white fox stepped out of the carriage and placed the wooden steps beside the carriage. She lifted the curtain again, and helped Lu Lu to walk out of the carriage.
Lu Xing was wearing a cyan robe, which was not luxurious, but a splendid colorful phoenix and white dress of a white fox, and the lilac shawl on his shoulders all showed his grace and luxury.
The white fox shouted lightly: "A few sons are standing and doing a lot, and they are not ready to salute the prince. β
This soft drink made the sons wake up from their dreams, and the white fox who was as bright as spring came back, and the man in green shirt in front of him should be the invincible Lu Xing.
"Chen Gu, Wang Yingde, Dong Zhengwen, Li Chuanting, meet the prince!" Led by the sons of the four families of Chen, Wang, Dong and Li, the sons of the rest of the families gave up one after another.
"I'll wait, meet the son!"
Lu Xing said calmly: "You're polite, I'll go in later." β
He didn't move, but turned sideways and said to Lei Ying first: "There are all merry women inside, it's not appropriate for you to go in, it's hard for you to stay outside and wait." If you feel bored, you can go to the Wentian Pavilion not far away, and say that I asked you to read a book. β
"Okay," Lei Ying raised her eyebrows, her eyes swept over the crowd, and she said in a low voice, "Shizi, I saw Lan Wu." β
Lu Xing glanced sideways, and commanded the white fox: "Tell Chen Gu later, add a seat to Lan Wu." β
"Okay." The white fox said.
Then, Lu Xing walked into Nanyuan slowly, and the sons of each family surrounded Lu Xing, guarded by the white fox, a piece of "thousand-year-old ice", and no one dared to talk to him all the way.
After entering the inner courtyard, the sons of the various families who were not qualified did not change their status, Xu did not talk to Lu Xing, they were a little regretful, but they were quickly diverted by the full house of warblers and warblers, after all, tonight's consumption was paid for by the eight sons.
Twenty-one people entered the inner court, and there was no lord on it, but they all sat on their knees, and there were pearl curtains hanging in front of them, and they sat opposite each other.
It was only after Lu Xing sat down on the far right and innermost that everyone dared to sit down in unison.
The white fox came to Chen Jie and whispered a few words, Chen Jie randomly called the old woman and ordered: "If there is a son named Lan Wu outside who wants to come in, you can let him go." β
The old woman had a smile on her face and promised, "Okay, the slave family will let people order." β
When the white fox saw that the matter was done, he came to Lu Xing's side and sat down, carefully tidying up his clothes, which was the face of the prince of the Northland, and he couldn't be sloppy.
