General Dingguo's Mansion——
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Xie Yu'an was practicing in the backyard. He held a sword in one hand, his body was like a dragon, and his momentum was like a rainbow. He practiced the sword technique smoothly, sweating profusely.
Xie Yu'an unbuttoned his shirt and was about to continue practicing, when suddenly the sound of 'shashasha' came from the wall.
He was immediately alert, raised his sword and flew towards the sound. He saw a young girl in goose-yellow clothes lying on the wall. She had a small head, big eyes, and her cheeks seemed to be dyed with the reddest glow.
Qiao Yin sucked the halogen in his mouth, his eyes lingering on Xie Yuan's looming abdominal muscles.
Xie Yuan's clothes were half unbuttoned, revealing half of his chest and his thin waist. There was even a thin layer of sweat hanging on his looming waist.
She was still worried along the way, worried that Xie Yu'an was a rough-looking, greasy man. If so, she would just lie down and die.
Unexpectedly, the system treated her well. Send her such a male Bodhisattva.
Look at this figure, it's more eye-catching than any other male model she saw on her phone during her lifetime, and this face -
With sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and temples as sharp as a knife, she is extremely handsome and extraordinarily heroic. It is simply a masterpiece of Empress Nuwa showing off her skills. It is perfect.
"Who?" Xie Yu'an put away his sword and asked aloud.
"Ah wu——"
Not only is she good-looking, but her voice is also so good.
Xie Yu'an frowned, raised his sword again and drove away: "Get down."
"Etc., etc."
Qiao Yin finally recovered from her beauty. She stretched out her hand and waved to Xie Yuan, "General Xie, I have heard about General Xie for a long time, so I came here to visit you. General Xie, are you free tonight?"
Xie Yu'an looked at the woman on the wall in confusion: "Isn't Miss Qiao going to celebrate Prince Lu's birthday tonight? Why do you have time to lie on the wall here?"
"you know me?"
Qiao Yin was startled, but then she thought about it. She had made so many jokes by following Lu Jinzhi every day for the past four years. It was not surprising that Xie Yuan knew her.
"Hey, rumors are all rumors! General Xie, please don't listen to the rumors outside. Tonight's banquet is not prepared for Lu Jinzhi, but I prepared it specially for you, General Xie." Qiao Yin said without changing his expression.
"For me?" Xie Yuan's face was filled with question marks.
"Yes, just for you, the general's heroic performance against a hundred armies is worthy of being called the reincarnation of the God of War. The little girl admires him so much that she has specially organized a banquet for you tonight to celebrate your victory."
Xie Yu'an looked at her like a fool: "It's hard for Miss Qiao Er to remember her military exploits four years ago."
Qiao Yin was stunned, not feeling embarrassed, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
"Is today the general's birthday?"
"no."
"Is today the birthday of someone in the general's family?"
"no."
"Did anything special happen to the general today?"
Xie Yuan thought for a while: "I picked up a dog on the roadside today."
Qiao Yin curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, then I am organizing this banquet for your dog, General Xie, to celebrate it... to celebrate it no longer wandering and regaining a new life."
Xie Yu'an couldn't help but burst into laughter. He raised his eyes and looked at her, "Miss Qiao Er, are you no longer pursuing Prince Lu?"
Qiao Yin was dazzled by his smile, "Well, I won't chase him anymore, I will chase you."
Xie Yuan was startled, and the smile froze on his face.
"Do you dare to let me chase you?"
Qiao Yin lay on the wall and looked at him with burning eyes.
Xie Yu'an only felt that the glow was particularly dazzling today, so dazzling that he couldn't even see the face on the wall clearly, leaving only the words "do you dare" echoing in his ears.
Xie Yu'an walked over, walked to the corner of the wall, and stretched out his hand towards her.
"Want to come down?"
Qiao Yin looked at Xie Yuan's hand stretched out towards him, like an open hug, more like a call than a test.
The corners of her lips raised, her eyebrows arched, and she jumped off the wall without thinking.
She was a little nervous, but when Xie Yu'an caught her steadily and held her in his arms, she saw not only Xie Yu'an's unreasonably beautiful face, but also unlimited hope.
She loves this new guy!
…
At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, the carriage stopped. Lu Jinzhi, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, got off the carriage. Suddenly, the voice of his friend Chu Wenjing came from behind.
"Did Jinzhi just come out of the palace?"
Lu Jinzhi nodded, "Today is my birthday. My aunt summoned me to the palace and gave me some gifts."
Lu Jinzhi's aunt was a noble concubine in the palace, and she was very favored.
"Are you done with your work? Come with me when you're done."
Chu Wenjing pulled him towards his carriage, and Lu Jinzhi asked, "Where are you going?"
"Ask you knowingly!" Chu Wenjing said with a smile, with a hint of joking in his smile, "Where else can we go? To Jifang Garden, of course. I don't believe you don't know that that nympho Qiao Yin is making such a big fuss this time. "
A hint of disdain appeared on Lu Jinzhi's face, "What's the benefit of accepting that woman again?"
Chu Wenjing smiled and said, "Qiao Yin gave me a fine inkstone and asked me to take you to Jifang Garden today. Let's go, let's go. You are bored at home anyway, so why not go see her today?" What new tricks will come out again?"
Chu Wenjing pulled Lu Jinzhi into the carriage, and Lu Jinzhi was used to this.
Over the years, in order to win his favor, Qiao Yin had been particularly attentive to the people around him. Not to mention Chu Wenjing, even the concierge of their Duke's Mansion had received heavy gifts from Qiao Yin.
Really ignorant and shameless.
The carriage drove forward leisurely, and Chu Wenjing couldn't help but say: "Jinzhi, after your birthday, it's time to discuss your marriage. Let me tell you, although Qiao Yin's behavior was a little outrageous, he was sincere to you. In the past four years, she has been chasing you fiercely, but you have never given me a good look, and she has never given up. It is better to wait for you to get married and accept her."
"Qiao Yin must be grateful to be your concubine and serve you, and he will become more and more devoted to you."
Lu Jinzhi sneered, "I don't accept vulgar things around me."
Chu Wenjing laughed and said, "You're going too far! Qiao Yin was lost and grew up in the countryside. It's normal for him not to know poetry and books. Besides, it's just a concubine. It's just pleasing to the eye. What kind of poetry and books do you want to be elegant? Ask yourself. , you have let Qiao Yin pester you for so many years, do you also think her face is beautiful and moving?"
Even if he doesn't like having a stunning beauty following him around every day, which man can resist such vanity?
Men know men best, and Chu Wenjing sees through it without saying anything.
Lu Jinzhi did not refute.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Jifang Garden, and the streets were busy with traffic. All of them were invited by Qiao Yin to congratulate Lu Jinzhi on his birthday.
Chu Wenjing couldn't help but complimented: "Jin Zhi, you still have a lot of face."
Lu Jinzhi felt affected, but deliberately kept a cold expression on his face.
Chu Wenjing got off the carriage and turned around to see Lu Jinzhi still sitting safely on the carriage, "Jinzhi?"
Lu Jinzhi's expression turned gloomy again.
Normally, whenever he showed up, Qiao Yin would come up to him with all his might, but today she was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Jinzhi walked into the gate of Jifang Garden with a sullen face. Suddenly, the boy at the door stretched out his hand to block his way.
"Master, please show me your invitation."
Lu Jinzhi's face froze, and Chu Wenjing stepped forward and scolded him: "Do you know who he is? He is the distinguished guest at today's banquet."
The boy looked at the two of them without changing his expression, and said businesslikely: "My second lady said that you can enter the banquet by invitation. No one without an invitation will be allowed to enter."
