Everything is renewed in the new year, and everyone's face is filled with a happy smile.
Qin Zhao passed the examination this year, and since the first day of the new year, guests have been coming over to pay New Year's greetings.
Qin Zhao's gatherings have been going on since the first day of the new year.
But today is different from the past. It's Lord Zhizhou's invitation, and it's not easy to refuse.
Qin Zhao could only pack himself up and go to the banquet.
When Qin Zhao arrived, the hall was already full of guests. He originally wanted to find a corner to sit and count himself as a participant.
But before he could find his place, he heard a familiar voice calling him.
"Qin Zhao, here, come here and sit here."
Qi Qige was sitting in the third row of the hall. He kept waving to Qin Zhao because he was afraid that Qin Zhao wouldn't see him.
Qin Zhao, who wanted to keep a low profile, could only walk to Qi Qige's table despite the glare of the people around him. When he got closer, he discovered that Li Chenqi was also sitting next to Qi Qige.
Qin Zhao was helpless: "Why are you sitting so far forward?"
“This is still ahead”
Qi Qige pointed to the front row, "Look over there, can you see the difference?"
Qin Zhao discovered that the first three rows were all young people, the fourth row were scholars, the fifth row were young men from aristocratic families, and so on. This party was a little strange.
Qin Zhao was confused, "Master Zhizhou, what is this?"
Chiqige pinched a grape and still put it in her mouth, "Who knew that it would be like a marriage selection meeting."
Qin Zhao was thoughtful, looked around and suddenly stood up, dragging Qi Qige to go out.
Qi Qige was dragged and staggered, barely missing her fall.
Just as he was about to ask what was wrong with him, he heard a loud sound at the inner door.
"Master Zhizhou has arrived"
Unable to leave, Qin Zhao could only sit back down with Qi Qige.
Li Chenqi was still a little confused, "Where are you going?".
Qi Qige, who had the same question, also turned to look at Qin Zhao, as if if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll fight you forever.
Qin Zhao rolled his eyes as if he was looking at a fool.
"I'm anxious"
"Che" Qi Qige also despised Qin Zhao.
Master Zhizhou was wearing a blue robe, his belly was slightly bulging, and he walked to the main seat with his eight-character steps.
Everyone stood up and saluted.
Zhizhou waved his hand and said, "Everyone sit down, everyone sits down. Private gatherings don't have to be so particular."
Zhizhou told the boy next to him, "Let's serve the food."
The servant received the order and went down to make arrangements. Soon a group of maids removed the fruit plate and put the wine and delicacies on it again.
Lord Zhizhou raised his wine glass, "This gathering is mainly to bring together you young people with ambitions, for no other reason than to have a better future for Qizhou City. A strong youth will make the country strong. You are all Qizhou." The future of the city”
Lord Zhizhou's few words made everyone excited, and they raised their glasses in response.
As the banquet was getting better, a musical instrument sounded, and a group of dancers in red gauze and thin clothes, with their faces covered by feather fans, came in one after another.
Their waists twisted and their eyes were charming, attracting the attention of everyone present.
No one noticed that there was an extra person at the screen behind Mr. Zhizhou.
Master Zhizhou smiled and looked at the expressions of everyone at the table. Some were obsessed, some were shy, and some even wanted to go up and dance with them.
Qi Qige shook her fan, put her head on Qin Zhao's shoulder, and stared at the group of dancers.
"Lord Zhizhou, have you spent a lot of money?"
Qin Zhao pushed his head away with his hand.
"Just stare with those squinting eyes of yours, that's all."
Qi Qige slapped Qin Zhao's hand and said, "This is a strategy. What do you know, you country bumpkin?".
Qin Zhao saw that his hand was red and slapped Qi Qige on the head.
The person behind the screen accidentally saw the two interacting and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
However, due to the peaceful singing and dancing in the room, only Lord Zhizhou, who was sitting in front of the screen, could hear it.
When Qin Zhao saw the group of dancers in red gauze and thin clothes, he felt ashamed, angry, annoyed, and immoral, so he subconsciously turned his head to avoid them. However, when he met Master Zhizhou's half-smiling eyes, his heart dropped, and he hurriedly turned his head away.
After the dancers finished dancing, they were no longer so calm. After receiving the signal from Master Zhizhou, they all sat down next to the guests.
The dancing girl is enchanting and charming, holding up the wine glass and feeding it into the mouths of the guests. How can a group of strong-blooded men withstand their temptation.
Everyone was indulging in it, laughing and playing, and some even wanted to kiss the dancer's feet, making all kinds of ugly appearances.
The dancer in charge of Qin Zhao was very worried. Seeing that the dancers at other tables could all complete their tasks well, she was the only one who encountered a bottleneck in her career. This old man couldn't get ahead.
She refused to drink wine, refused to eat the food, and from time to time she would look at people with blank eyes. If Lord Zhizhou hadn't told her, she would have thrown away her sleeves and left long ago.
Qi Qige did not reject anyone who came, and he served them all with wine and food. However, the dancer came close to her many times, but he skillfully avoided them.
Qi Qige successfully aroused the competitive spirit of the dancer. The dancer came up with endless tricks, but none of them were successful.
In the end, I could only accept my fate, serve food, pour wine, and start working as a boy.
Li Chenqi, on the other hand, has a rather elegant charm. He orders the table with one hand, his face is slightly red from drinking, and his eyes are blurred. He seems to be elegant and elegant.
But if you look closely, you will find that his other hand is caressing all the way up the dancer's ankle.
Qi Qige motioned to Qin Zhao to take a look.
"I usually look polite and polite, but I didn't expect him to be so playful at the banquet."
Qin Zhao frowned slightly. Usually he only thought he was a bit rigid, but he didn't expect that he still had this side.
The banquet didn't end until late in the evening. Qin Zhao and Qi Qige supported each other and waved goodbye to everyone. They didn't let go of each other until no one was around.
"You were more or less showy at the banquet. Look, you forced the dancing girl to death. You looked at you as if you were the enemy who killed your father."
Qi Qige was a little helpless, knowing that he didn't like this kind of situation, but he couldn't help himself in the world.
"I can not do it"
Qin Zhao took a deep breath and shook his robe in disgust. He smelled of alcohol mixed with rouge, which was extremely unpleasant.
"Then just wait for trouble to come to your door."
Qi Qige reluctantly left Qin Zhao and returned to Runxiang Garden alone.
Cao Xi had already gone to bed when Qin Zhao came back. He went to the kitchen to boil water, washed himself from head to toe, smelled it again, and found that there was no smell before he dared to go to bed.
Cao Xi felt the bed sinking in confusion. She reluctantly opened her eyes and asked, "Back?"
"Well, I woke you up, go to sleep now."
Qin Zhao slowed down and gently hugged Cao Xi, and his heart, which had been agitated for a day, calmed down.
In the early morning, Cao Xi woke up in a warm embrace. Qin Zhao's eyes were blue next to him. It was obvious that he had not slept well last night. She carefully touched the corners of Qin Zhao's eyes.
"Dishonest as soon as you wake up"
Qin Zhao accurately grasped the troublesome hand. As soon as she moved, Qin Zhao woke up. It was just that he was too tired to move because of his fatigue last night.
"Why did you come back so late last night?"
Looking at Qin Zhao's confused eyes, Cao Xi wanted to take action again, but was unable to pull his hand out, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Master Zhizhou has never let people go."
Qin Zhao put her troubled hand under her arm and took her into his arms with one hand.
Cao Xi was forced to bury herself in his arms, struggled to squeeze her head out, raised her head and asked, "What did the party say?"
Qin Zhao: "I didn't say anything. I just praised a few words and started eating, drinking and having fun."
When Cao Xi heard this, he knew it was not that simple. He stretched out his hand and pinched his waist. Qin Zhao was so painful that he suddenly woke up.
He looked at Cao Xi in confusion, wondering why he was pinched. "What's wrong?"
Cao Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Eating, drinking and having fun?"
When Qin Zhao heard this, he quickly expressed his loyalty, "It's them, I didn't participate."
Cao Xi looked sideways at Qin Zhao and didn't dare to measure him.
