Chapter 61: The Feast
"Mother, during this time, my daughter has no time to take care of the pharmacy because of her head disease, so today I specially invited my husband to my house as a guest to thank him for his recent care. Xiao Qi turned sideways and gave a place to the gentleman behind him.
At this time, Mr. has already reminisced, Xiao Qi asked him to accompany him, the reason why he came to Yuefu to pick up things, presumably Xiao Qi went out of the house without permission, let him be a witness.
For a while, he looked at Yueqi's eyes uncertainly, but he still stepped forward and saluted the old lady with a smile: "I've seen Madame, Miss is serious, taking care of the pharmacy is my business, but Miss must not be tired anymore, there is an old guy like me in the pharmacy, Madame and Miss can rest assured." ”
"Of course, it is natural to have an old gentleman to help Xiaoqi take care of it. The old lady took Xiaoqi's hand affectionately and gently rubbed her hand in the palm of her hand.
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Sir, let's stay here for dinner today, this is also Xiao Qi's intention." ”
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, so Mr. did not refuse, and stayed in Yuefu for a dinner.
After the dinner, Xiao Qi personally sent Mr. outside the gate of Yuefu, cutting off his opportunity to be alone with the old lady.
Although there is no need to be so polite to treat the subordinates, but the gentleman is also different from ordinary subordinates, he is the sitting gentleman of the pharmacy, and he also has some connections with the city lord, so he is also half a guest in the Moon Mansion.
Xiaoqi sent him personally, but it was reasonable.
Following.
On the day of the Du family's banquet, the three nobles of Bailu City all gathered in the Du family and Manfeng Court.
There are four major families in Bailucheng, the Yue family in the north city, the Yu family in the south city, the Li family in the west city, and the Du family in the east city. Among them, the strength of the Du family in Dongcheng is the weakest, and the Yue family in Beicheng ranks first.
And the City Lord's Mansion is above the four major families, and the Yue family is related to the City Lord's Mansion this time, and the families who were still eyeing the Yue family are afraid that they have disappeared at this time.
The guests who came and went, all of them were courteous to Yueqi and the old lady, and even the Li family in Xicheng was polite and courteous to Yueqi and the old lady, and some other small families needless to say, lined up to give Yueqi expensive gifts, and then said a few words of flattering praise, which made the old lady smile.
There is also a woman wearing gold and silver, holding Xiaoqi's hand familiarly, wishing her a hundred years of good luck and an early birth of a noble son.
Xiao Qi listened annoyedly, and didn't say a word, just nodded in a wooden voice.
But he secretly laughed in his heart, marrying a fool, I really don't know what these people have to be happy about?
Isn't it glad she's married to a fool?
The woman didn't notice it, and still chattered to Xiaoqi about the benefits of marrying into the City Lord's Mansion.
On the old lady's side, there was a large group of people surrounding her to congratulate her, and she didn't have time to take care of Xiaoqi, maybe she didn't pay attention at all.
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted "The city lord has arrived!" As soon as the woman who was holding Xiao Qi's hand and talking endlessly heard this voice, her expression changed, and she no longer said more to Xiao Qi, and after a simple goodbye, she left Xiao Qi aside, and turned to greet the high city lord with a smile on her face.
Xiao Qi was also happy alone, looking at this huge family event, in fact, there were only five or six round tables, the distance was very open, and each table was more than enough for ten people.
And Xiao Qi's seat had already been arranged by the Du family at the table, sharing the table with the city lord.
There are not many guests coming and going, but each of them is a nobleman with a good name in Bailu City, although it is not as good as Yuefu, but it is not bad in Bailu City.
Xiao Qi's eyes wandered on the young talents in the banquet, they gathered together to talk, but they didn't see the young man's figure.
Manfeng Garden, as its name suggests, most of the plants in the garden are fruit trees in season, and there are some unknown flowers and plants, and there is the fragrance of green black seeds in the air.
Before Xiao Qi could take a look at the garden, he saw that in the midst of everyone, a woman with an elegant temperament, dressed in a white coat and a red bead like a drop of blood hanging on her collar, walked in the direction where Xiao Qi was.
With the appearance of the woman, time seemed to stand still, and everyone's eyes were on the woman.
The woman's black eyes, with a little coquettishness, and a little loneliness that repelled people thousands of miles away, stared at Xiao Qi so directly.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, do you still remember your sister?" The woman's posture was like a willow branch floating in the wind, and even Xiao Qi was stunned for a while.
The old lady secretly pushed Xiao Qi with her elbow, and seeing that she still didn't react, she couldn't help but laugh teasingly: "Xiao Qi, this girl has not been in good spirits recently, don't be surprised, Lord City." ”
"Mrs. Yue, how can I blame Xiao Qi, in a few days Xiao Qi will be a member of our Mu family, it's too late for me to be happy. Mu Xuelian gently reached out and touched Xiaoqi's head, as if a sister loved her sister.
But in the space where no one found it, the red beads on Mu Xuelian's collar suddenly emitted a subtle light, which was imprinted on Xiao Qi's eyes.
It wasn't long before there was a cacophony of footsteps at the arch of the garden, and someone at the banquet couldn't help but hear a burst of excitement, "It's coming!"
Xiao Qi sat on the chair with calm eyes, while Mu Xuelian sat on her left side, smiled and put her hand on her shoulder, put the other hand under the table, and secretly stuffed a dagger into Xiao Qi from her sleeve.
A dozen servants came out of the arch carrying a large iron cage containing a large tiger with white wings.
The big tiger's original orange hair is now with blood-red strokes, the orange is translucent red, sticky and overlapped together, and a pair of eyes are full of lifelessness, completely lacking the heroic posture of the past.
"Mother, I remember! It was this tiger who forced Xiao Qi down the cliff!" Xiao Qi staggered to his feet, staring at the little flying tiger in the red sky with empty eyes, cold and without half emotion.
Xiao Qi raised the dagger, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.
"Stupid woman, it's me, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Qi only had a bloodthirsty cold glint in his eyes, raised the dagger in his hand high, and resolutely stabbed dozens of knives into the ribs of the Chitian Little Flying Tiger, splashing blood all over her face.
The Red Sky Little Flying Tiger was instantly stabbed into a plug, and his body was full of dense blood holes.
"Stupid woman......" Chitian Xiaofeihu looked at Xiao Qi with a dying breath, his pupils were full of fear, and tears couldn't help but blur his eyes......
Xiao Qi's bloodthirsty eyes flashed a trace of dazedness, his heart suddenly tightened, and his lips squirmed silently: "Big pig ......"
Xiao Qi couldn't stand the blood in front of him anymore, and knelt on the ground with a headache and roared.
It was as if thousands of fierce horses were about to gallop out of her head, and she rolled on the ground with her head in her hands.
Before Xiao Qi fell unconscious, he only heard a woman's anxious voice: "Medicine! Hurry up!"
