"Daddy, the wine is here."
The woman, Pingping Tingting, held the hot wine and saluted Mr. Wang first.
Then he bowed slightly to everyone, and immediately filled the wine glasses one by one.
When the wine was poured in front of Wang Bodang.
Wang Bodang quickly stood up and thanked him.
The woman's face suddenly turned red and she quickly hid in the kitchen.
Wang Ke was sitting aside. When he saw this scene, he looked at Hong Fu Nu and both of them showed tacit smiles.
Since this day.
Everyone stayed in the Wang family's old store.
This old man Wang has seen many merchants who traveled north and south, and also heard many stories about Qin Qiong.
now.
He was naturally overjoyed when Qin Qiong himself arrived.
The rent for everyone's residence was waived if possible, which made Qin Qiong quite touched.
soon.
It’s the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
There are gradually more tourists inside and outside Daxing City.
This morning.
Wang Ke, Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, and Li Shimin were neatly dressed, each brought their gifts, and walked into Daxing City.
These people had official duties, so they went to the city one day early for business.
As for Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, Qi Guoyuan, and Li Rugui, they stayed in the Wang family's old store and waited until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to go to Daxing City and meet everyone at the Hero Building.
Let’s talk about Wang Ke and others.
All the way into Daxing City.
Then Chai Shao and Li Shimin said goodbye to Wang Ke and others, and went to visit Li Yuan at the house of an important minister who was familiar with him.
Qin Qiong and Wang Ke walked towards the residence of Duke Yue.
Along the way.
Qin Qiong raised his eyes to watch.
I saw carriages driving slowly on the main road, and behind the carriages, there were also some servants.
These servants were picking and carrying gifts. Listening to their speech, it was almost as if they had accents from all over the country. It was obvious that they were all from other prefectures and counties.
Seeing this situation, Wang Ke did not reveal his identity easily, so he followed everyone to the door of the Duke of Yue's mansion.
Here we are.
Qin Qiong saw so many people, so crowded that not even people could pass by, let alone by car.
"Master Hou, look at this..."
Qin Qiong frowned slightly and asked Wang Kedao in a low voice.
"I didn't expect that today, the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, there would be so many people giving gifts...Brother Qin, come with me!"
Wang Ke nodded and whispered to Qin Qiong.
As he spoke, he led Qin Qiong to the side, bypassed an alley, and came to a large archway.
On the top of this archway, there is a big unicorn. On the unicorn's head, there is a word "longevity", with various animals on the left and right.
But it is a big lantern, called "Hundred Beasts Facing Qilin".
Go further inside.
It is a corner gate on the east side of the Duke of Yue's mansion.
Wang Ke smiled slightly, walked to the door, stretched out his hand, and knocked gently.
Bang bang bang!
After three soft sounds.
The corner door opened from the inside, and an old servant in green clothes and a small hat stuck his head out and asked: "Who are... the Marquis of Dingbei?"
When the old servant was about to ask, his eyes fell on Wang Ke's face, his face changed slightly, and he asked with surprise and joy.
"Exactly."
Wang Ke nodded slightly.
"Ouch! My Lord Marquis! How come you have condescended to come to this corner door? Please come in quickly! Please come in quickly!"
The old servant was surprised and immediately stepped aside and invited Wang Ke and others to come in.
Subsequently.
He led Wang Ke to the main hall and sat down.
Not long after.
Several maids brought refreshments.
Wang Ke was picking up the tea cup and just put it to his lips when he heard footsteps and a man in green robe turned from the back of the main hall.
"Hahahaha! Marquis Dingbei, Yang Tuo is so polite!"
The man walked up to Wang Ke, bowed his hands and said with a smile on his face.
"Yang Tuo?"
Wang Ke was slightly stunned.
He then recalled the man's identity.
turn out to be.
This Yang Tuo was a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, and because of his talent, he was favored by Yang Su.
at present.
This person is serving as a counselor under Yang Xuangan.
"It turns out to be Brother Yang Tuo... I wonder if Brother Xuangan has already arrived in the capital?"
Wang Ke also stood up and returned the greeting and asked.
Yang Tuo replied: "Lord Xuangan has arrived in Daxing City, but now he and Duke Yue are meeting with many ministers in the Jin Palace... Therefore, I am responsible for all affairs in this palace."
Wang Ke smiled and said: "Hahahaha! Congratulations to Brother Yang, you are quite powerful now!"
Yang Tuo waved his hand and said: "The Marquis is ridiculous, I'm just trying my best... But what is the purpose of the Marquis coming to Daxing City this time?"
Wang Ke said: "I am just here to celebrate the birthday of Duke Yue!"
Yang Tuo said: "In that case, where is the Marquis living now? Why not live directly in Yue Gong's house and go to the banquet tomorrow?"
Wang Ke shook his head, pointed to Qin Qiong on the side, and said: "I came here with a few brothers this time, so I won't disturb Mr. Yue... I have my birthday tomorrow, so I'll come and see you again!"
"Oh? Who is this brother?"
Yang Tuo followed what Wang Ke pointed and looked at Qin Qiong.
When he saw Qin Qiong's extraordinary appearance, he didn't dare to neglect her and raised his hand to ask.
"I am Qin Qiong, a deputy general under the command of Tang Jun, the governor of Yanzhou. I came to Daxing City today to wish the Duke of Yue his birthday!"
Qin Qiong quickly stood up, bowed her hands and replied.
"Qin Qiong? Could it be the Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao who are so powerful in Shandong?"
Upon hearing this name.

Yang Tuo looked solemn and asked.
"That's right!"
Qin Qiong nodded slightly and replied.
"Hahahaha! I live in the south of the Yangtze River and have met merchants from Shandong. I have heard of Brother Qin for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today!"
Yang Tuo said with a smile.
Subsequently.
A few people chatted a few more words.
Soon.
It was getting late.
Wang Ke and Qin Qiong saw that their master was not at home again, so they said goodbye to Yang Tuo and left the Yue Gong's mansion.
Out of Yue Gong Mansion.
Wang Ke, Qin Qiong, Wang Tianyou, and Hongfu Nu were wandering on the street.
When they arrived at the hero's building, they found a seat at random and sat down, preparing to have some food and wine while waiting slowly for Chai Shao and Li Shimin.
Ordered.
Everyone sat around the table and chatted freely.
We chatted for not long.
The waiter also brought food.
then.
Everyone had a great time chatting while eating.
And at this moment.
Downstairs from the hero, another young man walked up.
But when I saw this man, he was wearing a blue satin gown, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was high-spirited. Step by step, he walked up to the second floor of the Hero Building, glanced around, and unconsciously landed on the desk of Wang Ke and others.
"Um?"
Saw these people.
The young man frowned slightly and unconsciously came to the table.
"who!"
I saw someone bullying me unexpectedly.
The Hongfu girl who was sitting nearest stood up suddenly, unsheathed her long sword in her hand, and pressed it against the man's neck like a thunderous giant.
"Chuchen, wait!"
Seeing such changes.
Wang Ke was slightly stunned.
Then, he raised his head, stared at the young man in blue shirt, and asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
With a smile on his face, the young man raised his hand gently, removed the long sword that Hong Fu Nu held around his neck, and asked, "Are you the guests from the north?"
"Exactly."
Wang Ke nodded and replied.
"In that case, I have something to say. I wonder if some of you can listen to it?"
The young man nodded slightly, then raised his hands and said to Wang Ke, Qin Qiong and others.
"Sir, it's okay to say it."
Wang Ke nodded slightly and said immediately.
The young man paused and then said: "I have been practicing physiognomy since I was a child. When I just went upstairs, I saw that you were in charge of Yintang, but there was a black energy intruding. There must be a panic. I have to say... It happened to be the time before. Watch the Qianxiang day and night. At the third watch on the 15th day of the first lunar month, there will be a disaster of weapons, fire and robbers. It is the transition of the Tiangang star. You must not come to Daxing City to watch the lanterns and play with the moon. You may be in trouble and find it difficult to escape. Please hurry up. It’s better to leave.”
