Tibetan beads

Chapter 377

The feast is on.

King Haheung appeared in the garden with his concubine.

Looking at his smiling face, he didn't seem to be affected by Cai just now.

"My lord is well."

"Excuse me quickly. Master Qian is so happy, is there something good?"

"Thanks to the prince, the family has a grandson."

"Congratulations! Drink two more glasses later."

"Thank you, Lord."

"Isn't this the Marquis of Jiading? It's rare to see you go out."

"My lord's invitation, of course the old man will come in person..."

King He Xing came all the way, greeted him all the way, and finally sat down at the main seat, while Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Xiang were on the left and right.

Then came the toast speech, the content was nothing new, Xu Yin was distracted while listening to it.

The banquet is set in the main garden, separated by flowers and trees, and male and female guests sit separately under the corridors on both sides.The main position is set in the middle, with a slight distance.

Xu Yin sighed in his heart.Sure enough, etiquette and law have been abandoned in the Hexing Prince's Mansion. It is not uncommon for concubines to serve wine at banquets, but what's the point of sitting on the left and right in such a serious manner?
Look at the posture of these people at the banquet, all of them are frivolous and frivolous, and some even pulled the maidservant to sit with them on the spot.

However, King He Xing seemed to have not seen it, so he called people to dance with great interest.

Looking at the female customers, no one thinks it's wrong, and those who are more particular will at most not look at it.

Xu Yin is a casual person, but seeing this scene made her frown.Everything should be appropriate, if this is a few friends drinking and having fun in private, they can play as they like, but today is clearly a public occasion, and there are still girls who have not left the cabinet at the banquet!

She turned her gaze and saw that Mr. Chu Jiu was sitting beside him. Although there were many people around him, they were all talking normally, and she was relieved.

At least it's a normal person.

"Miss Xu San?"

Xu Yin came back to his senses, and the lady on the opposite side raised his glass to her, with a smile on his face: "It's really a fate to meet you here today, I would like to toast you."

She smiled immediately, and said affectionately: "Miss Zhou is polite, I should respect you, come here!"

After the two finished drinking, another lady followed.

Xu Yin didn't have time to express his feelings as he exchanged cups at the table.

After three rounds of drinking and bustling, many people left the table, some went to enjoy the flowers, some went to swim in the lake, just looking for fun.

Xu Yin was accompanied by the head of Kangle County to change clothes, and after coming out, he wobbled and didn't want to go back.

Seeing that her footsteps were unsteady, the county magistrate Kangle asked, "Miss Xu San, would you like hangover soup?"

Xu Yin waved his hand: "It's just fruit wine, you don't need it, just find a place to rest."

The head of Kangle County looked up and said, "Then we..."

"Just over there." Xu Yin stretched out his hand and pointed, "It's close, and I can see the scenery."

She was referring to the small pavilion on the covered bridge, and County Lord Kangle didn't object: "Okay, then I'll ask someone to bring some tea."

The two of them arrived at the small pavilion and sat down by the window. The servant girl quickly brought refreshments.

Xu Yin looked up and nodded with satisfaction.

The view here is excellent, the entire lake can be seen in the eyes, and the side is facing the Misty Rain Building, so people can see clearly when they come in and out.

Kangle County Lord saw her staring at the Yanyu Tower, and said, "This Yanyu Tower was built by my father at the request of Dongjiang's famous teachers. When it rains lightly, sitting upstairs to enjoy the lake view is the most beautiful."

Xu Yin said: "I came at the wrong time, it hasn't rained for a while."

The head of Kangle County nodded and said: "If Miss Xu San is not busy, stay a little longer, maybe it will rain one day."

Xu Yin was noncommittal, but thought in his heart that it is not a good thing if it does not rain. Now it is the season of spring plowing. If it does not rain for a long time, there may be a drought.

While chatting, someone came over there.

The covered bridge is transparent, and the small pavilion is wide open at the front and back, and guests can come in and rest at will.

Because it is a place to enjoy the scenery, the Lord of Kangle County didn't order anyone to guard it, so the visitor just walked in front of it swaggeringly.

These are two young princes, seeing their eyes brighten, they came over to say hello: "Master Kangle, Miss Xu San."

The head of Kangle County stood up and returned the salute: "Young Master Xia, Young Master Wu."

Then he introduced to Xu Yin: "This is the son of the Marquis of Jiading, and the son of Wu Sima."

Xu Yin got up to return the salute, and said with a smile: "You two young masters, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Mr. Xia came over with a smile: "Miss Xu San is here to enjoy the scenery?"

"Yes, I heard that this garden was built by a famous teacher from Dongjiang. It's a rare opportunity. Of course, we must take a good look."

"It's a coincidence, I happened to know about this..."

This Mr. Xia was extremely enthusiastic, and his words were obviously flattering, and Mr. Wu was also helping him.

Xu Yin listened with a smile, interjecting a few words from time to time, looking like they were having a good time.

While chatting, someone came over there again, and the Lord Kangle introduced Mr. Qian and Mr. Lin.

Then people came one after another, and Xu Yin was surrounded after a while.

The county magistrate Kangle sat with her, occasionally looking up, her eyes full of confusion.

It stands to reason that it's really impolite for so many foreign men to court a young lady, but the atmosphere at the scene was not romantic at all.These young masters sat neatly, their eyes did not look around, and the topic of discussion had long been removed from the garden, some were talking about weather, some were talking about farming, and some were talking about products... The Lord Kangle remembered meeting him when he was a child The way the father was discussing matters, it seemed that those officials were trying to curry favor with Shangfeng.

For example, when Ms. Xu San mentioned more about Shagang's mineral products, a young man whose ancestral home was from Shagang immediately began to explain it endlessly, as if... the shopkeeper was selling his own goods.

What the hell are they trying to do?
Before Kangle County Master could figure it out, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"Brother Nine!" She stood up.

Master Chu Jiu is here.

All the sons looked like they were caught, some felt guilty, some laughed.

"Why is the ninth son here?"

"Aren't you throwing pots?"

Young Master Chu Jiu smiled lightly: "Father ordered me to treat Miss Xu San well, how can I be negligent?"

He swept his eyes away: "By the way, Miss Mu Binger from Baihualou is performing a dance, why don't you go and have a look?"

Although the young masters were reluctant, they still stood up one after another.

"My lord invited Miss Mu? This is really rare, you must not miss it."

"That's right, Miss Mu rarely comes out, so it's hard to decide on a seat in Baihualou."

"Let's go, let's go and have a look."

"Miss Xu San, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Everyone walked away step by step, and they were the only ones left in the small pavilion.

Xu Yin leaned against the window sill and said with a half-smile, "Ninth Young Master, it seems that you are quite hated, and everyone wants to poach you."

Young Master Chu Jiu smiled wryly: "They didn't want to poach my wall, they wanted to poach the wall of King Hexing's mansion."

Xu Yin nodded: "Anyway, your family is hated."

There is a pack of wolves outside, and there is Mrs. Xiang inside. The father and son still don't trust each other. No matter how you look at it, you feel that the huge palace is crumbling due to internal and external troubles.

Young Master Chu Jiu sighed silently, looked up at the garden full of purples and reds, the ladies were playing around under the flower trees, the young masters were chatting and laughing on the boat, there was a lot of singing and dancing everywhere, and there were a lot of flowers.

"It's almost time." He said in a deep voice, "It's time to work."
