Chapter 472: Go to the County Lord's Mansion for a banquet
"It's the imperial concubine today! I also found out about it not long ago. β
Qin Lian didn't know much about these things, she only briefly told Su Liuye, and she hadn't even seen the imperial concubine.
Su Liuye didn't think much about it, she just asked casually, after all, she also knew that it was impossible for the imperial concubine to help deal with this matter. Looking at Qin Lian's current dress, she was faintly worried, and couldn't help but ask again, "Lianlian, you and Liu Gongziβ"
"I really don't have anything with him! Aliu, don't think about it! Qin Lian's eyes widened and she hurriedly interrupted her.
Seeing that she reacted so much to this question, Su Liuye sighed and didn't ask any more.
Knowing that Qin Lai was well, she was relieved, and then took out the invitation given by the county lord of Anyang and asked, "This is the invitation brought to me by the lord of Anyang County, and there will be a banquet in the county lord's mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve, do you want to go with me?" β
"Why would the county lord of Anyang invite you to a banquet?"
Qin Lian was curious, took the post, and sure enough, Su Liuye's name was written on it. Seeing this, she was surprised, "Didn't you already have a discord with the county lord of Anyang last time?" Why did the county lord of Anyang take the initiative to entertain you? Is it because something happened? β
"That's what I thought, so I wanted to go over and have a look." Su Liuye sighed, after all, the post had been sent to her, and it was not good for her not to go, so she simply went to see what happened.
"Can I come with you, then?" Qin Lian was a little worried, "Ah Liu, the county lord of Anyang only sent you a post, and I don't seem to be able to follow along." β
After spending a few days in Liu's Mansion, she also learned some rules.
Su Liuye's name is clearly written on the post, and there is no one else. An invitation can only allow one guest to enter, unless it is accompanied by a maid.
Thinking of this, Qin Lian's eyes lit up slightly, "Ah Liu, I can say the maid you brought here, so that I can follow you in to see what the county lord of Anyang still wants to do!" β
"Miss Qin, I'm afraid this won't work."
Xiao Wu, who had been listening to the side, suddenly spoke, and her cold voice interrupted Qin Lian's thoughts, only to hear her say, "The sticker sent by the county lord of Anyang can only let Mrs. Chu bring one to go in, and now the people of the fifth princess are still ready to move, and I will follow Madame." β
Hearing this, Qin Lian was disappointed for a while, but she had no choice but to repeatedly tell Su Liuye to be careful on the road. If it doesn't work again, she will stay directly in Liu's mansion, anyway, Liu Yuan's aunt is the imperial concubine, I believe that the fifth princess also knows this, and she will definitely not dare to do anything.
"No need, Ah Liu, I'm not familiar with Young Master Liu, I won't be used to living here." Su Liuye shook his head and refused, and said, "Besides, I'm in Lord Xiao's mansion now, and those people don't dare to break in." To put it bluntly, they are all secret guards around the five princesses, and they dare not come blatantly. β
"Alright then......"
Qin Lian sighed, still worried.
But Su Liuye said so, and she had no way to force people to stay.
Seeing that all the people here were from the Liu Mansion, Su Liuye was not used to staying there, and seeing that Qin Lian was indeed fine, she found an excuse to leave.
"Miss Qin, you are here!"
Qin Lian was thinking about sending someone away, but who knew that a subordinate came in a hurry, "The young master is looking for you, please come with me." β
"What is he looking for me for?" Speaking of Liu Yuan, Qin Lian was irritable.
She really didn't have to work when she came to Liu's Mansion, but Liu Yuan didn't know what nerves to make, and he often wanted to look for her.
"The villain doesn't know, the young master just let Miss Qin go over." The subordinate was scolded by her like this, and the whole person shrank.
Qin Lian looked at this subordinate who should also be in his teens, his body was very thin, and he suddenly couldn't say anything to refuse. I'm afraid that if I say it, I will be reprimanded when I go back.
Qin Lian couldn't bear to look at it like this, and after saying a word to Su Liuye, she went over to see what happened to Liu Yuan looking for her.
Before leaving, she repeatedly told Su Liuye that if there was anything, remember to tell her.
Coming out of Liu's Mansion, Su Liuye would think about Fang Cai's affairs and sighed leisurely.
Xiao Wu heard it next to him and asked, "Mrs. Chu, what's wrong with you?" Is there something wrong? β
"Xiao Wu, what kind of people do you think the Liu family is in the capital?"
"The Liu family?" Xiao Wu was slightly stunned, thought for a moment and said, "There is more than one Liu family in the capital, but the Liu family with the imperial concubine in the family is now only the Liu family in Luoxi Town. There are indeed people in their family who live in the capital, but they are not their own family, so I didn't recognize who Young Master Liu was at first. β
"If Madam asks me how Young Master Liu is doing, I don't know." Xiao Wu saw through Su Liuye's mind at once, it was nothing more than wanting to know what kind of person Liu Yuan was, for fear that Qin Lian would suffer at his hands.
But Xiao Wu really didn't know.
Su Liuye sighed, she had expected this result a long time ago.
She didn't ask too much, and bought some gifts on the way back, thinking that she would give them to the county lord of Anyang when the time came, so as not to get an empty-handed past.
The banquet of the county lord of Anyang was on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Su Liuye arranged it in advance, and when it was Chinese New Year's Eve, she took Xiao Wu over.
In the past few days, Xiao Yun has only occasionally sent people to deliver letters, and there is no important content in his heart, just asking Su Liuye to stay in the capital and not walk around.
Su Liuye replied to the letter and asked about the mine, but Xiao Yun never replied, perhaps deliberately not replying, not wanting her to interfere in these matters.
Su Liuye could only continue to wait.
When I went to the Anyang County Lord's Mansion, there were already many festive decorations hanging in front of the main gate, and the red lanterns were hung high above, swaying with the cold wind.
She handed the post to the person in front of the door, and when the other party saw it, he immediately respectfully invited her in, "Shopkeeper Su, the banquet has not officially started, please follow me here to rest." We'll let you know when the banquet starts. β
"Okay."
The subordinates led her and Xiao Wu to the side hall to rest.
It can be seen that this place is specially cleaned for guests to rest. Immediately, not only did the charcoal stove be prepared, but there was also a fragrance next to it, and bursts of aroma wafted from the side, which made people feel refreshed.
"Shopkeeper Su, please use tea."
Soon after the servant left, a maid came over to serve hot tea, and the faint tea fragrance was matched with exquisite pastries, which made people feel good when they looked at it.
"I'm tired."
Su Liuye nodded in response.
When the maid went out, she looked at the hour, there were still several hours before nightfall, but the invitation was written to let her come at this time, is there anything hidden?
Just thinking like this, there was a knock on the door, "Shopkeeper Su, it's me, Yuqiao." β
Hearing the sound outside, Su Liuye's eyebrows moved slightly.
Yu Qiao is the maid next to the county lord of Anyang.
