After a while.
Just as the servants in the mansion looked at Yan with increasing suspicion, after all, looking at his outfit, this young man did not look like someone who could afford a banquet.
At this moment.
There were hurried footsteps inside the mansion.
When several servants turned around to look, they saw Lu Qi quickly leading the servants to the door.
"You're finally here!"
Lu Qi said as he walked.
Seeing this, several servants in the mansion were really dumbfounded. When they looked at the young man who had just visited again, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
After all, who would have thought that a young man dressed in civilian clothes and with an unattractive appearance could actually be welcomed by Lu Qi, the most respected person in the house now.
Outside the mansion.
Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi with a smile on his face, raised his hands in a salute.
"Go, go, go!"
After Lu Qi returned the courtesy, he quickly asked Yan to follow him into the house.
Bai Yan nodded, then followed Lu Qi and entered the Lu family's mansion under the watchful eyes of several servants.
Inside the mansion.
When Bai Yan came to the backyard, he saw the number of servants and maids in the mansion, which was jaw-dropping.
In this small garden alone, at first glance, the number of maids alone is no less than twenty.
Follow Lu Qi.
Bai Yan walked all the way, and when he came to the corridor, he saw countless huge charcoal braziers erected in the corridor, and many young people in luxurious clothes were warming themselves by the fire in groups and chatting.
"I don't know what luck Lu Qi had, but he actually took root in Yingchuan County."
"No, now Lu Qi alone can sit on Yingchuan Baoshan. It's so enviable just thinking about it."
"I heard about your Wei family"
During the conversation, a young man from the Mingshi tribe looked at Lu Qi one after another when he saw him coming back.
In other words, he looked at the young man next to Lu Qi with curious eyes.
And when they saw the boy in cloth clothes saying "clothes in cloth", many people's brows instinctively frowned.
Just now they saw Lu Qi going to greet him in person, and they were very curious that it was that person from the noble family that Lu Qi paid so much attention to.
I never thought that he would be such an ugly young man.
Just when all the noble youths were wondering why Lu Qi paid so much attention to that commoner youth.
Lu Sheng, who was originally talking to several young men, suddenly said something to them, and then saw Lu Sheng walking towards Lu Qi with a maid.
"Look!"
"Is Lu Sheng paying so much attention to it?"
In the corridor, many noble men started talking when they saw Lu Sheng and his maid going to greet the commoner boy.
At this time, many people had already speculated whether Lu Qi, who had such a smooth life in Yingchuan County, might have something to do with that commoner boy.
But then no one was sure.
Because just from the young man's clothes, he couldn't tell that he was such a powerful person.
"Master Xu, please accompany Mr. Yan!"
In the corridor, after Lu Sheng and Yan exchanged polite greetings, they saw Yan's eyes and had vaguely glanced at the maid beside him several times, so Lu Sheng smiled and gave instructions.
"As you command!"
The maid Xu Shi was the young woman who played Qi Zheng in the restaurant that day. She was also a well-known artist in Xianyang City.
After being at the restaurant that day, he learned that Lu Qi was hosting a banquet at the house. Lu Sheng knew that Yan would be on the invitation list, so as the young shopkeeper, Lu Sheng brought Master Xu to the house. Just let Yan see Master Xu.
Lu Sheng understood that as long as Lu Qi was not stupid, he would definitely invite Yan to the mansion.
Even if Lu Qi doesn't invite Yan, he can't help but push Yan to him, and if word spreads, Lu Qi's reputation will be damaged.
"this!"
Bai Yan felt a little embarrassed when he saw the woman coming to his side.
Then he looked at the noble men around him, and it seemed that the woman next to him was the most beautiful.
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Sheng smiled and said, the more embarrassed Yan is, the more satisfied he is.
Then Lu Sheng looked at Lu Qi.
"It doesn't matter!"
Lu Qi also said to Yan at this time, and looked at his eldest brother Lu Sheng thoughtfully, seeming a little unhappy.
But in Lu Qi's heart, he was not as worried as he expressed.
Later, Lu Qi took Yan to introduce some other young noblemen one by one, including twelve who were businessmen in their families and seven whose elders were officials.
At first, when those teenagers heard Lu Qi's introduction, they thought Yan was Bai Yan and were filled with shock.
After all, the previous battle to destroy Korea was well known to the whole world. Korea was one of the Seven Heroes after the Zhou royal family. Now that it was destroyed, its significance was immeasurable.
To this day.
In teahouses and taverns throughout Xianyang City, countless people were talking about what they heard about that battle.
in.
And Bai Yan, the descendant of the Bai family who was ordered to do so in critical situations and made many meritorious deeds! It has been mentioned by countless people.
The first is ability, the second is surname, and the third is achievements.
Bai Yan, who possesses all three, is naturally a person talked about in teahouses and restaurants.
So now.
Everyone put aside their contempt and greeted Bai Yan politely.
Later, Lu Qi quickly explained that this Yan was not Bai Yan.
After hearing the explanation, the noble and powerful young men nodded in astonishment.
Not Bai Yan!
This young man just happens to have the same name as Bai Yan!
Thinking of this, these powerful young men breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if this young man is really Bai Yan, then they, who are not prepared at all, will feel a lot of pressure in their hearts. After all, Bai Yan's title is the fifth doctor, and they heard that Bai Yan will soon go to Shangjun Gaonu to take up the post of city guard.
This is a general who requires military power and a position.
While talking.
Introduced to the circle where Lu Sheng was just now.
At this time, Lu Sheng spoke for Lu Qi and introduced an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man to Bai Yan.
"Yan, this is Gan Si. After the Prime Minister Gan Mao, he will go to Yuzhong City, Shangjun, and appoint a chief official at that time. If you pass by Yuzhong City in the future, remember to visit Gan Si."
Lu Sheng said with a smile.
At this time, Lu Qi looked at his brother's appearance. Compared with the Xu Master's woman just now, Lu Qi really felt that his face was a bit embarrassing.
Logically speaking, Yan is the guest he invited, and he should be the one to introduce people.
The eldest brother Lu Sheng, however, took advantage of the fact that Gan Si was in his circle and introduced him first.
This is equivalent to the fact that when Yan really needs Gan Si in the future, this favor should also be remembered by Lu Sheng, not Lu Qi.
"Yan has met a gentleman!"
Bai Yan did not brush off Lu Sheng's good intentions and bowed his hands to Gan Si.
Although Bai Yan has already seen that in these circles in the courtyard, whether they are children of noble families or children of powerful people, they are not the eldest son in the family, and their status in the family is not high.
Or.
A few months ago, when Lu Qi didn't go out for trials, these people were Lu Qi's circle, and most of them were unhappy.
Only in Lu Sheng's circle, although he is still not the eldest son, his background is stronger.
"Gan Si has met Mr. Yan!"
Gan Si looked at Yan without looking down on him and returned the favor with both hands.
Don't underestimate this move.
This is equivalent to Gan Si agreeing that in the future, if Bai Yan, a small soldier, passes by Yuzhong City, he can visit him as a friend.
"Haha, who are these people?"
Lu Sheng introduced several other men to Yan with a smile on his face.
Wu Qi, Yang Shang, Xue Hui.
More or less, these men have produced celebrities and ministers throughout their ancestors.
Although the branch line has been divided into several branches, they are indeed the descendants of those famous ministers.
In the corridor.
Bai Yan returned the gifts very politely, without any slightest contempt.
Bai Yan knows very well that no matter how small a person is, if the time is right, the role these people can play at critical moments may be greater than others.
After a while.
Lu Sheng watched Lu Qi leave with Yan, smiled and nodded.
"Lu Sheng, why do you and Lu Qi value that young man so much?"
Xue Hui asked after seeing Lu Qi leaving.
Wu Qi, Gan Si and others also looked at Lu Sheng.
Especially Gan Si, the reason why he acted like that just now was almost all for the sake of his good friend Lu Sheng. Otherwise, to be honest, he, Gan Si, would really look down on a small soldier.
"An acquaintance, I have some connection with my eldest aunt!"
Lu Sheng explained with a smile without saying too much.
the other side.
Bai Yan, who was walking towards the lobby together, heard Lu Qi mention that he had gone to Pingyang yesterday to marry 'Bai Yan', and he immediately looked at Lu Qi dumbfounded.
At this moment, Bai Yan was really shocked by the thoughts in Lu Qi's mind.
At this time, Bai Yan remembered that before Lu Qi left Yangcheng, he once said that as long as he went to Qi State, he would definitely be on good terms with 'Bai Yan' when he came back.
As time went by, I didn't take this matter to heart anymore, so I didn't ask about it two days ago.
Never thought about it.
Lu Qi actually went to Qi State and arranged a marriage for him!
"It's a pity to say that Bai Yan's uncle, General Bai Yu, personally said that Bai Yan is young and doesn't care about men and women for the time being!"
Lu Qi shook his head and said with regret.
The eldest brother Lu Sheng already knew about this matter and had to keep it a secret.
But now thinking about the experience of going to Bai's yesterday, and thinking about the looks of General Bai Yu, Bai Yan, Uncle Bai and others, there were some words that Lu Qi did not say.
Because Lu Qi always felt that General Bai Yu seemed to have a hint of hidden hostility when talking about this marriage in the Bai family's mansion.
But this makes no sense and cannot be justified.
After all, he obviously had good intentions and traveled thousands of miles to find a well-matched match for Bai.
The identity, status, and beauty of Ms. Chen were not a choice.
How could Bai be so dissatisfied!
Why is there any blame?
And even if the matter of men and women is not considered, this does not prevent Bai and Chen from making a marriage contract first.
When Lu Qi thought of this, he sighed in confusion.
