Lan Xi sent someone to pick up Shen Yinxiao to accompany her to a banquet in Shanggu County.
Except for the officials of the Yin Dynasty and the Beidi family, the rest of the guests present were all Qiang nobles.
The Qiang people live nomadically. The Qiang people are divided into dozens of ethnic groups. They are large enough. Only the Beinan Qiang and Xianling Qiang dare to call themselves royal court. In addition to the nobles of the Beinan Qiang, there are other people present today. Qiang nobles.
This banquet was very grand. Shen Yinxiao got off the carriage and saw the Wei family's banner from a distance, and was shocked to realize that Wei Cheng might be here too.
She didn't want to go, so she turned around and walked away. As she walked, she covered her forehead and said weakly: "There was a cold wind last night and my head hurts a little now. You can go to the banquet. I won't go. Please arrange a wing for me." I'll take a nap, or I'll just go back."
Lan Xi grabbed her and saw through her expression: "Wei Cheng can't come up tonight. The one who comes is the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Zheng."
Chen Yin felt a little guilty and licked his lips.
"It was a coincidence that the Wang Yuanjun he brought with him was also ill for some reason. She lay sick for two days and got better today. She said she wanted to go riding and Wei Cheng was probably sending her back right now. No time to come.”
When it comes to Wang Yuanjun and Wei Cheng, Lan Xi doesn't have a good expression, especially when she sees Wei Cheng calling Shen Yinxiao and leaving immediately, with the stinky face of a grown man lingering in her mind. Then she thinks about the possibility that she She was about to marry him and form a couple, and she was even more furious: "I'm afraid I got sick because I was exhausted from serving the man at night. I have to come with him when I come to sign the peace treaty. I can't live without a man."
Shen Yinxiao's throat was dry, as if he had lost his voice.
After hesitating for a long time, he still said in a hoarse voice: "He stays with Madam Wang every day?"
"It's still fake. People have seen them coming and going in pairs in the past few days."
Lan Xi took her arm to go to the post house where the Qiang nobles were staying. Shen Yinxiao felt like he had swallowed a needle in his throat and couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out. After a while, he calmed down a little: "Lan Xi, I still won't go. What's the matter? It’s not appropriate for me to go to the banquet between you and Youzhou officials.”
"There is nothing inappropriate!" Beigong Lanxi raised her eyebrows, "Wang Yuanjun can come to both big and small banquets in the past few days. You are my good friend and my brother's benefactor. Why can't you come? You just keep it in your heart." , Wang Yuanjun knows that I will come up tonight, and she will definitely not come. Wei Cheng, that bitch, stays with her every step of the way, what are you feeling guilty about?"
Shen Yinxiao was stabbed in the heart again, and felt a little confused about the "brother's benefactor" in her mouth, and murmured: "I have never met King Beinan, how can I dare to call myself a benefactor?"
Lan Xi opened the door and said, "You saved me and my nephew. You are my brother's biggest benefactor."
She smiled and said, "It's so boring to stay in the store all day. I remember that your birthday is on the 25th of the winter lunar month? The moon pillar, sun pillar and hour pillar all have Gui water. You are born with a peach blossom destiny. Will you marry a rich prince in this life? Question, but no matter how good the marriage and financial fortune are in your life, it is hard to stop the Lord from hiding behind closed doors! Today is the best opportunity, and those who come today are all famous people inside and outside Youzhou, even if they can't succeed, It doesn't matter if you look familiar, the best way to end a bad relationship is to immediately invest in the next relationship. You just know too few men, so you will be emotionally affected by a man!"
Lan Xi took her into the house. All the furnishings were carefully arranged by the post master. Seeing that the Qiang princess in front of her was about to marry into Youzhou, everyone in the post house was careful to fawn over them. The teapots and basins they used were all decorated with inlays. to Phnom Penh.
There was a tray on the table with a set of Chinese clothes. Lan Xi thought carefully and prepared the clothes for her in advance. Shen Yinxiao didn't want to be too conspicuous, but Lan Xi also understood that what was prepared for her was A set of moon-white fairy skirt. The deep neckline is embroidered with lotus pattern with silver thread. The cuffs are fully embroidered with Ruyi swallow pattern with silk thread of the same color. The jade belt around the waist outlines the delicate waist. It is covered with a light and wide plain gauze. unlined garment.
Looking from a distance, it seems to be covered with moonlight, but under the lamp, reflecting the slightly swaying candlelight, the silver embroidery on the clothes shines like a stream of light pouring on the brocade.
Lan Xi pressed her in front of the dressing table again and put on pink and pink. She didn't like the dimples that were fashionable nowadays. The two red dimples paired with the yellow on her forehead made her look like a Bodhisattva in the temple, with a graceful appearance. , especially the pair of fairy eyebrows that were almost connected together, made her feel exaggerated and couldn't help but think of Wang Yuanjun.
She held the hand that was holding the rouge and was about to put it on her face: "It doesn't have to be too troublesome. I'm not used to heavy makeup. I just put some lead powder on my eyebrows and I'll do it myself. "
Lan Xi didn't give up and took out a set of white jade hairpin rings while she was powdering her eyebrows, and gave her a relatively simple pony bun.
After she was done, Lan Xi took a few steps back, looked at her carefully, clapped her hands and smiled: "How beautiful! If I were a man, I would definitely marry you so that you can only smile at me every day."
Shen Yinxiao had long been accustomed to her sarcastic remarks from time to time, so he didn't say anything.
The banquet was also held in the post house. The banquet was filled with men and women in rich clothes. Dozens of tables were placed from the open room to the waterside pavilion. Lan Xi was now a key figure in the marriage, and Shen Yinxiao, who followed Lan Xi, was also included in the banquet. Gao took a quick look, and from time to time someone would come up to chat with him.
Wei Cheng also took her to such a banquet not long ago. She knew the etiquette that should be followed, and with Lan Xi's intention to take care of it, Shen Yinxiao thought it would be difficult to cope with it, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"My brother is here too." Lan Xi squinted at the men in Hu clothes who were surrounded not far away, and pulled Shen Yinxiao over.
"Brother, I would like to introduce you to my friend, Yin Xiao, who I often mentioned to you, saved us." Lan Xi smiled and pulled Beigong Boyu's sleeve and winked at him.
"Yinxiao, this is my brother."
Shen Yinxiao gathered his trousers and saluted: "Well, King Beinan is well."
Beigong Boyu was taken aback, and he clasped his fists and saluted regardless of his status: "Ms. Shen is so polite. We should have come to thank you long ago."
Shen Yinxiao smiled sheepishly.
Lan Xi added words on the side: "It's not too late to say thank you today."
Beigong Boyu smiled heartily: "What Lan Xi said is that after the banquet, I will thank you properly. Madam Shen, please don't be restrained tonight. If you have anything to do, just come to Lan Xi or me. It's the same."
Lan Xi pulled her hand and teased: "My brother has always been polite towards women. This is the first time I have seen him smile so gently towards a girl other than me."
Beigong Boyu smiled helplessly, looked at Shen Yinxiao again, and felt slightly soft in his heart.
Shen Yinxiao bit her lip, and the people who were originally gathered around Bei Gong Boyu looked at Shen Yinxiao. Her face was reddish, she lowered her head, a strand of hair on her temples was scattered beside her ears, and her eyelashes were hanging down. Flickering and flickering.
Beigong Boyu turned around and started talking in a low voice with the man beside him. During the conversation, Shen Yinxiao vaguely heard what they said about "General Wei".
His surname is Wei, and he can also be called a general. The only person attending the banquet was Wei Cheng.
Shen Yinxiao stood stiffly on the spot, feeling as if acupuncture points had been tapped all over his body, unable to move. The tight string in his mind tightened tighter and tighter, breaking and continuing in an instant.
