Xue Zhen cleared his throat: "I don't know what kind of jealousy you have, Jiu'er."

Ah Jiu looked at Xue Zhen as if he were looking at a fool: "It's easy to say, right? I'll let you squeak these days, but master will punish you later."

After saying that, Ah Jiu stepped into the Marquis Mansion and handed over the invitation in his hand.

The little boy outside the door suddenly shrank his pupils: "It turns out that it's the distinguished guest invited by the eldest princess herself. Come on, Zhang Cai, the distinguished guest Miss Meng is here..."

A boy of sixteen or seventeen years old ran up to him in the crowd of people. He stroked his hat that almost fell off and made a gesture of invitation:

"You are an honored guest. Please come here. The upper room in the Marquis Mansion is specially set up for distinguished guests from afar. This is..."

Ah Jiu glanced at Xue Zhen: "This is my fiancé."

Xue Zhen was particularly cooperative. He held Ah Jiu's thin shoulder with one hand and nodded to Zhang Cai as a salute.

Zhang Cai took a second look and couldn't help but praise: "Ms. Meng really has good eyesight. Mr. Meng has a face as good as a jade and shows his talent."

When Ah Jiu heard this, he looked at Xue Zhen's happy face: "Am I ugly?"

Zhang Cai suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. His master told him to learn to speak sweetly, but this time he was entertaining guests and he became clumsy:

"What a beautiful man. The two men are talented and beautiful. The girl is as beautiful as a fairy. It is a perfect match between a talented man and a beautiful woman."

"That's pretty much it."

Ah Jiu looked around and saw that the entire Hou Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and a huge stage was set up. On the rockery in the garden was actually a luminous pearl as big as the mouth of a bowl inlaid on it.

Zhang Cai introduced along the way: "This luminous pearl was awarded by the Queen."

As he said this, Ah Jiu glanced at the kid named Zhang Cai, with a proud expression on his face, as if being able to work as an errand boy in the Hou Mansion was the greatest honor in his life.

Ah Jiu curled her lips in disgust: "It's just an external thing, what's the use of it."

Zhang Cai shut up immediately, led the people to the east courtyard and opened the door of the guest room: "Take a look and see what else is missing."

Ah Jiu stepped into the threshold and saw that the guest rooms were so gorgeous?

The tables, chairs and benches are all inlaid with gold pieces, and even the tea set on the tea table in the flower hall is inlaid with gold and jade.

This... is really too extravagant.

Ah Jiu saluted and said with a smile: "The Hou Mansion is really wealthy and willing to entertain guests, so naturally I am very satisfied."

Only then did Zhang Cai feel that he had completed his task and stepped back.

Xue Zhen closed the door and said, "This thin tea cup with cicada wings is the craftsmanship of Liuli Pavilion."

Ah Jiu had been to Liuli Pavilion, so she naturally knew about it. She turned around and sat on a chair and poured a cup of tea: "Tomorrow I will ask the eldest princess in person what she wants to do."

"No matter what you want to do, Jiu'er and I are already here. Once you get there, you'll be in peace." Xue Zhen had a breeze in his sleeves and no pressure on his buttocks.

Ah Jiu crossed her legs, seemingly relaxed, but in fact she was extremely uneasy inside. She knew clearly that the eldest princess wanted her to come and see them getting married in person.

The attack power was insufficient and the insult was too strong. Ah Jiu's excellent character still couldn't calm herself down. She didn't even know how she would face all this tomorrow.

"Don't take advantage of Master when there is no one around." Ah Jiu put down the tea bowl and dragged her chin.

"Yes, Master." Xue Zhen politely held the paper fan in his hands and bowed in salute. Seeing her uneasiness, he suggested:

"Tomorrow is the big wedding. Do you want me to accompany Master to Qingfeng Yage tonight?"

As soon as these words came out, Ah Jiu jumped up and said, "Yeah, why am I wandering around thinking about their marriage? What a waste of time, just walk around, maybe, Miss Yaoyao's eyes have healed."

Just leave.

The main entrance of the Hou Mansion was used to welcome guests. Ah Jiu said hello and left the Hou Mansion through the back door.

The feeling of walking struttingly on the street made the air feel much fresher. Ah Jiu said to himself:

"I really didn't expect that I just left Kyoto and said I would never come back, and now I'm back."

"So what? Practitioners are not bound by etiquette and morality." Xue Zhen walked on the street with one hand behind his back.

People passing by on both sides always glanced at him. Ah Jiu suddenly turned around and found that several women were following him.

Xue Zhen followed Ah Jiu's gaze and turned his head, and the young women immediately dispersed shyly.

"You said you are so good-looking and you haven't broken the precepts after practicing for more than a hundred years?" Ah Jiu asked a thousand-year-old doubt.

"My heart may change according to the circumstances, but my disciple has already mastered the ability to change his surroundings according to his heart, so these things cannot enter my eyes yet."

Xue Zhen shook his paper fan coolly, which was completely different from Ah Jiu who was very worried at the moment.

"Tell me, how can I change my situation as I wish?" Ah Jiu was referring to the fact that she still doesn't know how to face tomorrow. What's more, Tuoba Yan drove her out of Kyoto, and now he has come back. It is inevitable that they will meet tomorrow, and she doesn't know how to face it tomorrow.

Don't know how to face it.

Just as I was thinking about it, Qingfeng Yage arrived, and the familiar sundial had completely fallen into darkness, with only the overlapping shadow of the iron pestle shattered by the light of the lanterns.

"What a coincidence, today is another trade fair." Xue Zhen suddenly closed the paper fan and pulled Ah Jiu in with interest.

As soon as Ah Jiu met Zhang Yuanfang, a look from the second floor caught his attention, and a chill ran down his back.
