Chapter Twenty-Five: He's a Sister!
Fortunately, he and Brandy are not women, and even if they go out on such occasions, the suits recommended by the owner of the dress shop are enough to wear, and there is no need to think about whether the clothes are fashionable and decent.
Zhou Xinyi's eyes swept around the banquet and found one or two successors, who may have really chosen to be officials, or they may have used special means to blend in.
But their characteristics are still obvious, not only intuitively, but also habitually.
For example, after tasting a small cake, a female heir skillfully wiped her mouth with the cloth on her chest, and only after wiping it did she suddenly remember that it was not a mouth wipe, and she was stunned in place, helpless.
"It seems that the atmosphere of the banquet is much more relaxed than I expected." Brandy said.
"Let's find a place to sit down first." It's too conspicuous here.
Zhou Xinyi and Brandy found a relatively quiet place to sit down, their target was Young Master Ji An, and there was no need to communicate too much with other aborigines for the time being.
The nobles, the wealthy, and the officials were in the front row, and the food and drinks were relatively rich, while the commoners were in the back row, and in order to prevent them from disturbing the communication of the people in the front row, the two areas were separated by a three-meter-wide distance for the waiters to walk.
Compared with the rich, the food at the table banquet of the common people is much more perfunctory, but it is still a delicacy that ordinary people may not eat once a year.
As soon as Brandy sat down, a girl who had just come of age sat down beside him.
At this kind of banquet, the intention to take the initiative to approach has long been self-evident, but the girl is still a little shy, looking down at this side secretly, and never speaking.
Brandy was also helpless, but since the other party was here, as a polite young man, he couldn't ignore it.
He got up and took the wine from the table, chose the bottle with the lowest alcohol content, and poured a little into the delicate wine glass.
"Would you like something to drink, young lady?"
The girl nodded shyly and took the brandy glass.
She took a sip and asked tentatively, "Can you help me get a slice of lemon?" ”
Brandy got up to look for it, and when he sat down, he saw two kind-faced adults standing behind the girl.
Apparently the girl's parents.
Zhou Xinyi, who saw this scene while drinking, almost squirted out, did you just meet your parents when you met, the blind date method in this era is really unrestrained.
He could only wish Brandy in his heart to retreat, Zhou Xinyi thought as he silently moved two positions to the side.
But in the end, he could not escape the fate of being accosted, and soon, a hotly dressed woman sat down.
The lining on her chest couldn't stop her surging peak, and she naturally fell on the table.
Looking at him with silky eyes, "Are you alone?" Sir, is that your friend over there? ”
Zhou Xinyi's expression was unwavering, "My friend." ”
"It is said that there are groups of beautiful women, and there are also groups of handsome gentlemen," said the woman with a smile, "but unlike the little girl, I prefer a steady and mature man like you." ”
Does this mean that I am old? Zhou Xinyi complained quite straight in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Xinyi didn't respond, the woman asked more interestedly, "Sir, what kind of profession do you have?" ”
Zhou Xin Yi replied simply, "Government departments." ”
"No," said the woman, "I think it's the judge, right?" ”
Zhou Xinyi just glanced at her, "Why do you say that?" ”
"There's a mesmerizing temperament about you." The woman looked at him and said.
Girl, you're really good at talking, it's the first time I've heard someone describe my judge like that.
Zhou Xin easily smiled, "Then you are too arbitrary." ”
Seeing that Zhou Xinyi didn't buy it, the woman had no choice but to say, "Okay, it's actually my father who showed me your portrait." ”
"You're famous, you know? As many people want to win you over, as many people want to kill you," she said with novelty, "I've lived in Jizhou City for so long, and I've seen such an interesting man once. ”
Then you still took the initiative to approach me, a dangerous person? It's a pity that I'm not interested in the aborigines...... Zhou Xinyi said, "I will leave Jizhou City in a short time, I'm sorry, I can't make friends with you." ”
The woman flattened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but her voice was overshadowed by the sudden sensation of the banquet.
Zhou Xinyi didn't hear clearly, and he didn't want to listen, so he turned his head to look at the source of the sensation.
It turned out that the real big man in Jizhou City had arrived, Xungus, Myeller, and the lady McVall he hadn't seen before.
Three of the most powerful officials were on the spot at the same time, and it was no wonder that others wanted to stammer.
It's 4:30, and it turns out that the big names of this era also have the habit of arriving late.
Zhou Xinyi also stood up.
Among the three, Officer Myler was the first to look at Zhou Xinyi.
"It turns out that you, Mr. Judge, hope that today's banquet is pleasant enough to leave you with good memories in Jizhou City."
Zhou Xinyi also walked over to shake hands with him, and as a judge, he needed an image of honesty and integrity more than cunning words.
So he told the truth, "I've made a lot of memories, but I'm afraid it's not that pleasant." ”
The official Mailer immediately reacted to the incident last night, "It was indeed unexpected, but Ms. McVall has taken it seriously enough that she will never let the same situation happen again." ”
"Right, Miss McVulle?"
Zhou Xinyi looked over, it was a lady with bronzed skin and a ponytail, with a pair of red agate square frames on her face, and her personality was the same, simple and serious.
Ms. McVeul's expression was not good, as it always had been, and the officer Mailer again lightly tied the blame to her, saying as if she would have to accept the judge's criticism if the matter was not completely resolved.
But it was a matter of occultism, and she couldn't escape the fact that she was in charge of the field.
She nodded, politely, "That's right." ”
Zhou Xinyi saw that the woman who had just accosted him was not friendly to the attention of the official Mailer, could it be that she was Ms. McVeul's daughter?
No, Ms. McVul's daughter isn't that old.
By 4:45 p.m., the important people who should enter the venue had basically arrived, and the protagonist of this banquet, Young Master Ji An, finally came to the banquet center and accepted the congratulations from all parties.
Zhou Xinyi noticed that there were two key people who did not come, one was Young Master Ji An's elder brother, Young Master Ji Xun, and the other was his old father, the city lord of Ji Zhou.
But this is also reasonable, Young Master Ji Xun is over fifty years old this year, but because he has never had his own official position, and he is accompanied by the old housekeeper sent by the city lord, so he can only be called a young master at his age.
Even if it is for socializing, he still holds a birthday party in his fifties with great fanfare, he is his father, and he has no face.
As for Ji Xun, I'm afraid it's caused by the disagreement between the brothers.
The protagonist arrives, and Brandy also gets rid of the "old man" who likes him very much, and walks to Zhou Xinyi.
They had to find a way to get in touch with the big man first.
This is not difficult, after all, Zhou Xinyi is the most talked-about judge at the moment.
But before they could get closer, the woman leaned over enthusiastically and said to Zhou Xinyi, "How about I take you to meet my father, the protagonist of this banquet?" ”
Zhou Xinyi was shocked when he heard this, "Your father is Young Master Ji An?" ”
The woman nodded proudly.
This explains why she is hostile to the Myeller officials, after all, he only buried her father's reputation two days ago.
Suddenly, Zhou Xinyi had a flash of inspiration and remembered something.
Four years ago, in order to please the girl, Young Master Ji An conspired with Li Pul to create a grand human fireworks.
He originally thought that he was old and unmarried, but, Young Master Ji An, your daughter is so old!
Zhou Xin Yizhen said to this woman, your father was still coaxing other women outside four years ago, when you were a teenager.
Girl, can you have a snack......
Seeing the woman with reverent eyes pulling her towards Young Master Ji An, Zhou Xinyi felt a pain in her conscience.
In front of Young Master Ji An, the woman happily introduced to her father, "Father, happy birthday!" I would like to introduce you to this gentleman. ”
She puffed up her chest proudly, "This is the judge who caused a sensation in Jizhou City, Mr. Zhou!" ”
The people who were originally stammering instantly placed their eyes on Zhou Xinyi, and Young Master Ji An's originally breezy expression was distorted with the naked eye.
Girl, if you look back now, you can see how hideous your father's expression is......
Zhou Xinyi shook hands with him, "Hello, Young Master Ji An." ”
"I really didn't expect that I would be able to see this famous judge with my own eyes," Young Master Ji An finally adjusted his expression and patted his daughter's head with a smile, "Ji Lika, I'm very happy. ”
He glanced at Zhou Xinyi and said to everyone, "I think it's almost time, it's time to welcome the people who have been waiting for a long time. ”
With a wave of his hand, the door of the banquet opened again, and the civilians walked in with excitement and restraint.
They did not dare to step into the territory of the VIPs, or even make loud noises, so they could only sit in surprise and sit in their seats, each tasting expensive delicacies, and occasionally secretly looking at the glamorous officials.
Among them was a beautiful black-haired woman, it was Jiang Yi, she squeezed in with her waist bent and secretly blended into the banquet belonging to the VIPs.
Brandy stood on the edge to meet her.
Jiang Yi pretended to be profound, "How is it, has the contact been successful?" ”
"Contacting."
Jiang Yi looked fixedly, and beside Zhou Xinyi, there was a beautiful woman with a hot figure holding his arm!
"Zhou Xinyi actually had an affair!"
Brandy didn't say he had it, and he was almost pulled back for supper by the excited "old man", ...... "It's also good to relax once in a while." ”
Jiang Yi looked at himself a few times, and quickly "tsk" twice, and said with a regretful face, "It's a pity that she can't get into that kid's eyes." ”
Brandy asked curiously, "Why?" ”
Jiang Yi said seriously, "Because of him, he is a sister control!" ”
