"Comrades, eat well and drink well!"
Su Xibai stood behind the two of them, exuding air-conditioning. She tied her hair high, wore armor, and raised her eyebrows at Mo Lan, who was not far away.
"The two adults sound dissatisfied with this dish. Come on, please change the wine for the adults at this table."
Su Xibai's hands pressed on their shoulders. The two civil servants, even with some cultivation, could not withstand the military commander's slap.
Immediately, he choked on the wine and his face turned red and he kept coughing.
Su Xibai left with satisfaction, walked to the main seat of the male guests, and sat down next to her husband.
Song Qinglin took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped the hands she had patted with others. Qin Wenping, who was at the same table, shook his head and turned to the side.
The old master stroked his beard, sipped the fine wine, and exclaimed from time to time.
"Xiao Su, I heard that you have been recruiting troops in the military camp for several days. How is the progress?"
Su Xibai withdrew his hand and nodded to the old master, "Back to the old master, the progress is going well. Although the mainland's spiritual energy is getting thinner and thinner, the qualifications of those who joined the army in recent years are not high, and most of them are mid-level spiritual masters. There are also many great spiritual masters, but fortunately, the number of people joining the army is dominant, and the number of people joining the army this year is twice that of last year."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, good wine. When it comes to leading troops to fight, I am very impressed by this young man, King Qi. There is also that elegant young man who can determine the world in three steps. Hahaha, he is so talented. It's just that I haven't heard of him again after so many years. According to the news, I don’t know what kind of person he is.”
When Qin Wenping mentioned the elegant young master, he buried his head in the wine glass and remained silent.
"Master Qin, don't you think it's a pity!"
When his name was suddenly called, Qin Wenping raised his head. He didn't listen carefully to what they said just now, "Ah, it's a pity, it's a pity."
Qin Jiyan turned his back to his father, holding a wine glass and laughing heartily.
Zhao Mingzhou kept pouring wine for his father, "Instead of the elegant young master, there is now the young master Lan Feng. Stories about him are being spread everywhere in the capital recently. He is a young master from a reclusive family and a senior alchemist."
"Oh, why didn't I know?"
Zhao Mingzhou's head was full of black lines, "Father, you and your mother just came back not long ago, and before they could catch up with the excitement, he opened a Judan Tang in the south of the city, specializing in selling elixirs."
The old master stroked his beard and said, "I will go and join in the fun tomorrow. Xiao Shen, let's go and have a look together."
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, you know better than us about things in this shopping mall. This alchemy requires a lot of medicinal materials, and the Shen family is the largest medicinal material merchant. I believe you have already met Mr. Lan Feng." .”
Shen Shiyuan put down his wine glass and looked at the old master with a smile, "The old master guessed wrong this time. This Mr. Lan Feng is quite mysterious. Not only have I never seen it before, but the elixirs in his Judan Hall are not from my Shen family." .”
"Hey, I'll have to take a good look at it tomorrow."
Zhao Mingzhou refilled his glass and said, "Father forgot, you and Yunan are going fishing tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter, Yunan will go with me tomorrow. If Mr. Lan Feng is really a talented person, he will be a great grandson-in-law for me."
"puff!"
Mo Lan, who had been listening to the noise here, took a sip of wine and coughed twice.
Mo Ran immediately stretched out his little hand and patted her back, "Don't you drink this wine every day? Slow down, no one will compete with you."
Song Ying held her chopsticks in her mouth, "Listen to what they said, I'll go and see the excitement tomorrow."
Mo Ran rolled his eyes when he heard what she said, "Cousin, the Judan Hall has been open for almost a month, and no one has seen him, and he may not be able to see him tomorrow. Didn't we agree to go to the suburbs? Yes!"
Mo Lan smiled and shook her head. She knew what Mo Ran was thinking.
If Zhao Yunan goes to Master Lan Feng on the bridge tomorrow, no one will compete with her for the seventh prince.
But if Song Ying also goes, if Mr. Lan Feng doesn't like Zhao Yunan but her, then her Gong Xiaoqi will still be attracted by others.
"They are all daughters who have not left the government. It is shameless to discuss a man here!"
"Qian Jiyun, no one welcomes you. If you don't want to listen, go to another table."
Everyone looked at Qian Jiyun with disgust, which made her feel ashamed. She stood up, stamped her feet and walked away.
"Why is the princess so angry today?"
Gong Jinxiu took a long breath and said, "Qian Jiyun's aunt, Qi Ji, is the concubine of the supervisory censor Qichuan. A few days ago, Qichuan sent her daughter to my father's account. For this reason, my mother asked There was such a big fire.”
"The prince also went to recruit soldiers?"
Gong Jinxiu pouted, "Yes, not only my father, but also two generals of Qin, General Su, and even Duke Pei are here, oh, and the emperor's uncle is also here."
Mo Lan drank in silence. Chaozhong would recruit troops every year. There was a certain number every year. This year, almost all military generals were mobilized. Even Gong Yi went to recruit troops in person, which was a bit disturbing.
Gong Jinxiu mysteriously waved people closer, "The Emperor issued an order yesterday and my uncle has been transferred south again. Do you think there will be a war?"
Mo Lan watched Qian Shuyu approaching with sharp eyes, and immediately sat up straight, "Of course not, yo, Shuyu is here!"
Qian Shuyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood behind Mo Lan holding the wine glass, "I thought my sister would ignore Shuyu from now on."
Mo Lan smiled and said, "How could it be? I no longer have any relationship with the fifth prince. We sisters are still the same as before."
Qian Shuyu wiped the non-existent tears from the corner of his eyes, "It's good that my sister still recognizes me. This glass of wine is my sister's apology, and I invite her to drink it."
Mo Lan looked at the wine in front of her. It was the same poison that had poisoned Su Jingwan and Zao Man. It was Qian Shuyu who had poisoned her for many years.
Just like algae floating on the water, algae vines will float in the blood and cannot be eliminated from the body. They are colorless and odorless. Over time, the organs in the body will not receive enough oxygen, and eventually they will die of exhaustion.
There was no way anyone could find out, it looked like a natural death.
One hand reached over, grabbed the wine glass, and poured it on Qian Shuyu's face.
"You don't have a long memory, do you? Although Mo Lan is annoying to me, you make me sick. You pretend to be weak all day long to seduce my cousin. You are so dark in your heart that you instigate quarrels at various banquets. If I don’t teach you a lesson, I’m afraid you won’t know what the sky and the earth are.”
Everything happened so fast that Mo Lan didn't even react. Su Jingwan slapped Qian Shuyu a few times.
"Su Jingwan!"
Gong Shaoqian rushed over, hurriedly protected Qian Shuyu behind him, and yelled at Su Jingwan.
"You actually yelled at me, I'm going to complain to my aunt!"
Su Jingwan's eyes turned red and she turned around and ran away.
Gong Shaoqian had no one to vent his anger on, so he turned to glare at Mo Lan, "You know Shuyu is weak, why don't you protect her? Let me tell you, the more you bully her, the less likely this prince will marry you!"
Mo Lan laughed angrily at his words, "Ha! The fifth prince may have misunderstood something. I have never thought about marrying you since I was born. It was just for the sake of the royal family. You have gone too far, and I have tolerated it till now. Also, don’t forget, the emperor has already issued an edict to cancel our engagement, why, do you want me to show the edict to the fifth prince?”
