The next day, Bai Yuan greeted Ning Yan and others and went to Zilanxuan for the banquet.

Bai Yuan did not go to the banquet alone this time, but was accompanied by Yan Lingji and went to the banquet together.

Ning Yan and Jimo Huaxue were not very interested in going to Zilanxuan for dinner, but only Yan Lingji was very interested.

Of course, her main purpose is to watch the fun, not to get a meal.

As for Concubine Yan and Moon God, they have nothing to do with Zi Nu, so they will naturally not go to such a banquet.

"The Purple Orchid Pavilion is the most famous romantic place in Xinzheng and one of the most famous gold-selling caves in Xinzheng. I heard that the dancers inside can make people linger, and the owner of the Purple Orchid Pavilion, the purple girl, is even more She is charming and charming, and I am quite curious whether she is really like the rumors."

Sitting in the carriage, Yan Lingji naturally held Bai Yuan's arm and leaned against Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan felt the warmth in his arms, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"When did you know Zilanxuan so well?"

Yan Lingji raised her chin with a hint of joking in her eyes.

"Yesterday, I saw that you were staying at Zilanxuan for a whole day, so I went to inquire about it. I wanted to see what kind of beauty could make you so fascinated."

"Girl Zi Nv is indeed a first-rate beauty, but if you say that I am obsessed with her, you would be wronging me."

Bai Yuan gently pinched Yan Lingji's face and gave her a funny smile.

Yan Lingji narrowed her eyes slightly and swatted away Bai Yuan's hand that was making trouble on her face: "If it's not Zi Nu, then there is someone else? I remember you said that there is a Qin girl in Zi Lan Xuan, named Qin Ji. For Nongyu, you seem to appreciate her quite a lot, and you seem to have given her the piano score of "High Mountains and Flowing Waters"."

Bai Yuan shook his head and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed: "Do I already have this image in your eyes? Nongyu and I have a pure friendship."

Seeing Bai Yuan's helpless look, Yan Lingji let out a sigh, covered her mouth and laughed.

She was naturally joking with Bai Yuan when she said this.

While the two were talking and laughing, the carriage had arrived at the door of Zilanxuan.

After getting off the carriage, they found that Zilanxuan was different from the crowds of guests in the past. There were only two maids at the door responsible for welcoming guests, but there were no guests.

Bai Yuan thought for a moment and guessed that Zi Nu might have given special instructions. Zi Lanxuan probably didn't plan to open today.

Although Bai Yuan himself didn't care whether Zi Lan Xuan's camp was open today, the attitude shown by Zi Nu made him feel very comfortable.

In order to entertain Bai Yuan, she did not hesitate to refuse all the guests, which is enough to show how seriously Zi Nu takes this banquet.

Bai Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took Yan Lingji's hand, and walked towards Zilanxuan.

When the two maids saw Bai Yuan, they bowed slightly and saluted: "Sir, Sister Zinu is preparing a banquet. Sir, why don't you go in first and wait for a while, and we will inform Sister Zinu right away."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly.

Then a maid ran to report the situation to Zi Nu, while another maid took Bai Yuan and Yan Lingji to a private room behind Zi Lan Pavilion.

Not long after the two sat down, Zi Nu rushed over.

As soon as she saw Bai Yuan, Zi Nu pretended to be resentful.

"Mr. Bai Yuan came so early! Zi Nu is far away, but she still looks forward to Haihan."

"Girl Zi Nv's words are a bit out of line."

Bai Yuan waved his hand, he didn't care about these empty things.

Zi Nu smiled slightly, and then turned her gaze to the woman in red sitting next to Bai Yuan.

With her intelligence skills, she would naturally recognize Yan Lingji.

Today Yan Lingji is wearing the fiery red dress that Bai Yuan customized for her at the Jade Silk Shop, which complements Yan Lingji's white and tender skin.

That natural charm makes Yan Lingji exude charming charm all the time.

She doesn't need to deliberately express anything, every smile, every move can firmly attract others' attention.

Even Zi Nu secretly sighed that Bai Yuan was so lucky.

However, Zi Nu was also mentally prepared, and she quickly put away her surprise and smiled at Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji also had a smile on her face: "I have long heard that Miss Zi Nu is stunningly beautiful. Bai Yuan has also mentioned you many times in front of us. Today, you are truly worthy of your reputation."

Bai Yuan couldn't help feeling a little weird when he heard Yan Lingji making up a story seriously in front of him.

In fact, he rarely mentioned Zi Nu and Nong Yu in front of Ning Yan and the others.

However, Bai Yuan did not go to demolish Yan Lingji's stage. He sat silently and watched quietly.

Zi Nu glanced at Bai Yuan and smiled softly.

"That's too much praise. According to Zi Nu, she is the real beauty. I heard that your husband loves you very much."

Yan Lingji is very special.

This has long been confirmed based on Liusha's intelligence.

After all, Tianze was released because of Yan Lingji.

Unfortunately, Tianze was eventually killed by Bai Yuan.

Yan Lingji raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard Zi Nu's words, but did not refute.

Bai Yuan really doted on her.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Zi Nu asked Nong Yu to accompany them.

"I have some preparations to do here, so let Nongyu accompany you here first!"

Bai Yuan nodded lightly and winked at Zi Nu: "Then Zi Nu, let's get to work first! I'm really looking forward to Zi Nu's craftsmanship."

Zi Nu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and there was nothing to hide.

"Then sir, just take your time and look forward to it!"

After Zi Nu left, Bai Yuan asked Nong Yu to play some of his favorite songs for them as usual.

Nongyu is good at everything, and after letting someone set up the piano, she starts to show off her superb piano skills.

Nongyu's piano skills were naturally impeccable, and Yan Lingji also calmed down and soon became immersed in the sound of Nongyu's piano.

The sound of the piano has a power to cleanse the soul, like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing through the ears, and then echoing endlessly in the mind.

After the song ended, Yan Lingji realized that she had shed tears.

A drop of crystal tear slipped from her cheek and landed on her chest.

Yan Lingji quickly wiped her eyes.

Nong Yu felt a little embarrassed when she saw Yan Lingji's appearance.

"Sorry, wasn't the song just a little sad?"

"No, it's not your problem. Miss Nongyu is really amazing. This is the first time I've heard such a touching song."

Yan Lingji shook her head slightly and did not hesitate to praise her.

Before hearing Nong Yu play the piano, Yan Lingji thought Bai Yuan's praise of Nong Yu was just an exaggeration.

But after listening to the song played by Nong Yu, Yan Lingji had to admit that she was superficial.

So she praised Nongyu generously.

Nongyu smiled shyly when she heard someone recognizing her piano skills.

Then Yan Lingji started chatting with Nong Yu, as if she had forgotten Bai Yuan, which made Bai Yuan dumbfounded.

Bai Yuan didn't intend to get involved, so he just sat aside and drank tea quietly.

However, when Nong Yu was chatting with Yan Lingji, his eyes would secretly glance at Bai Yuan from time to time.

How sharp is Yan Lingji's perception?

Naturally, she had a clear view of Nongyu's little moves.

Yan Lingji smiled, sat next to Nongyu, lowered her voice and asked in a low voice: "Sister Nongyu, what do you think of Bai Yuan?"

At this time, Yan Lingji and Nong Yu had begun to treat each other as sisters, and the speed at which their relationship had grown closer was simply incredible.

When Nong Yu heard Yan Lingji's sudden question, she pinched the corner of her skirt with her fingers and glanced at Bai Yuan quietly, finding that he didn't seem to notice the conversation between the two.

"Mr. Bai Yuan is not an ordinary person. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he is also humble, gentle, and approachable. Among the people I have met, Mr. Bai Yuan should be quite special."

Yan Lingji guessed that Nong Yu must have praised him a lot and snorted softly.

"Sister Nongyu, don't be fooled by this guy Bai Yuan."

"Eh?"

Nong Yu lightly covered her red lips, a little curious as to why Yan Lingji said this.

Yan Lingji hadn't realized this yet, so she continued to lower her voice: "Do you know how carefree this guy is?"

"Is this gentleman very carefree?"

Nong Yu paused, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Of course! There are quite a few women around this guy, he's a real playboy!"

Nong Yu frowned slightly after hearing this.

"But this."

"It shouldn't be too fussy, right?"

Nong Yu also learned from Zi Nu that there were many women around Bai Yuan, but most of them were actually maids and guards. Those who could truly be called mistresses were those few.

And from the conversation she had just had with Yan Lingji, Nong Yu could also infer that Yan Lingji and Ning Yan had a very harmonious relationship, and their statuses were equal, and there was no saying that anyone was more noble than the other.

In other words, although Bai Yuan is fickle, he is not partial.

Compared with most people, it is already commendable.

Besides, in this era, it is not uncommon for men to have many wives and concubines.

For example, among the nobles in Xinzheng City, which one does not have many wives and concubines?

This is just an ordinary noble. If it were a monarch of various countries, it would be even more. You must know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was even a matter of "one prince hired nine women."

Yan Lingji almost choked at Nong Yu's words, "It's not too fussy."

Bai Yuan sat aside, drinking tea calmly, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Yan Lingji coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment, but then she looked at Nongyu with a teasing look, as if she had discovered something.

"Sister Nongyu, I think you have been deceived by Bai Yuan. Will you also treat him?"

"Well, please don't make such a joke."

Nongyu was rather thin-skinned, so when Yan Lingji asked her this question, her eyes dodged.

When Yan Lingji saw Nongyu looking so shy, she couldn't continue teasing her.

"Okay, I won't ask, but I think sometimes you still need to be brave. Maybe there will be surprises."

Yan Lingji blinked at Nong Yu, then stood up and returned to Bai Yuan.

"Eh?"

Nong Yu didn't expect that Yan Lingji would actually encourage him, and couldn't help feeling a little weird. He glanced at Bai Yuan secretly, and Nong Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Yan Lingji returned to Bai Yuan and saw Bai Yuan smiling at her.

"Am I a playboy?"

Bai used Tianlai to transmit sound to Yanling Jiyuan.

Yan Lingji looked like I knew it and snorted.

"You bad guy, I was chatting with Nongyu just now, you should have heard everything, right?"

"No way, to me, there is no difference between your whispering and normal talking."

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little proud.

It's impossible for Yan Lingji not to know this, so she did it on purpose just now.

"I'm right in saying that you are a playboy, right? Do you still dare to say that you and Nongyu are just a pure friendship now?"

Bai Yuan didn't expect Yan Lingji to be waiting for him here.

"That...it's all my damn charm!"

Yan Lingji opened her eyes wide and looked very shocked when she saw Bai Yuan shaking his head and sighing.

This guy is so thick-skinned!
Time passed quickly, and it was almost time for dinner.

Zinu led several maids and served the prepared meals.

"I made you wait so long!"

Bai Yuan waved his hand: "I'm not afraid of waiting for this delicious dish, but Miss Zi Nv has worked hard for this meal!"

Zi Nu smiled softly: "It's good to know."

As she spoke, she picked up the wine bottle and poured Bai Yuan a glass of wine.

After Bai Yuan thanked him, he took the wine bottle.

This meal is naturally a feast for both host and guest.

Although Zi Nu's craftsmanship is not as good as Bai Yuan's, she is still top-notch among ordinary people.

Bai Yuan was full of praise after eating it.

In order to entertain Bai Yuan, Zi Nu got up before dawn and was busy all morning.

Now that she can get Bai Yuan's recognition, her hard work is not in vain.

After eating, everyone sat in the room chatting.

Zi Nu suddenly remembered something.

"Mr. Bai Yuan, will you go to Xianyang after leaving Xinzheng?"

Bai Yuan was a little confused.

"Why do you ask that?"

Zi Nu paused and sighed slightly.

"Han Fei discussed Quicksand's future plans with us last night."

"His entry into Qin has become a foregone conclusion. Naturally, there is nothing to say. Wei Zhuang plans to return to Ghost Valley after Han Fei enters Qin to find ways to become stronger."

"And Zhang Liang chose to quit Quicksand. His family has been prime minister in South Korea for five generations. It can be said that his roots are in South Korea, so we can all understand that he would make such a choice."

"In the end, they all left. My Zilan Xuan has no backer. It may be dangerous to continue operating, so I also plan to close Zi Lan Xuan."

When Zi Nu talked about this, her eyes were still a little unwilling.

After all, Zilanxuan was her hard work for so many years. Now that it has to be closed, she will naturally not be very happy.

"I said before that I would protect Zilanxuan. In fact, you don't have to worry about anyone targeting you."

Bai Yuan was a little surprised by Zi Nu's decision, so he reiterated his promise.

Zi Nu smiled and shook her head: "Of course I believe you, sir, but he is far away in Qin. If something happens to Xinzheng, I'm afraid it will be too late to provide support."

"So I'm thinking of going to Qin to open a new Purple Orchid Pavilion. Although this will give up the contacts I accumulated in Xinzheng, but as long as my husband is willing to help with a little help, it won't be a problem at all." (End of Chapter)
