Before Xinzhizhou arrived, Ge Yong and others had already sent people to inquire about it, and the story of Sizhou Lu Yongfu's group of people flattering the horse's legs had already reached their ears.

Therefore, there was no red card to add to the fun at the banquet in Kaiming Building that night. The adults also brought their wives, and even the young servants who served the dishes were pretty and upright. After entering the table, men and women sat in separate rooms, socializing with each other.

Don't interfere, just like a righteous wind.

Xin Yi dressed up slightly before going out, lightly swiping her eyebrows and stroking her red lips. However, as she was pregnant, she did not wear too bright clothes. She was dressed in brocade and soft satin, which was mainly comfortable, simple and generous, without losing etiquette, and

It complements her bright eyes, white teeth and pink makeup, which is just right to attract people's attention.

The magistrate here is the eldest, and she is the princess of the county, so the ladies naturally surround her.

Chen, the wife of Tongpan Ge Yong, is the most mature and sophisticated. She praises her every word without showing off, and her sincerity cannot be seen under her smile, but it does not make anyone feel uncomfortable at all.

The husbands of the other wives have slightly lower official positions, and they are a little bit careless when sitting with them, but they all have their own strengths and have different personalities. Some are straightforward and bold, some are flattering and scheming, some are cautious, and some are gentle and quiet.

What is said on the lips are words, and what is performed on the table is a play.

The adults' drama is in the court hall, and the ladies' drama is in the backyard.

Xin Yi only sat there for less than half an hour, and felt like he was watching a Yangzhou official version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan."

She did not want to make friends with these ladies, and her husband had no plans to get promoted or make a fortune. He politely met all the ladies. After dinner, he felt full, rubbed his belly and stood up. In the friendly atmosphere of "having a great time chatting"

Say goodbye and leave.

The ladies were a little disappointed.

Some people showed it on their faces, some didn't, but they all smiled.

Xin Yi saluted and said: "It's my fault for spoiling the mood of all the ladies. It's just that my body is sinking now. After riding the boat for these days, I came here dizzy. I feel very uncomfortable sitting for a long time. I'm afraid I'll offend you all, so I have to

Take the first step."

Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "What did the princess say? You are a noble person, and you come to the banquet even though you are pregnant. You have given us enough face, so why should we be surprised? We women, who are women, have to have free time all year round.

There will be plenty of time to get together in the future, so you can take a good rest and don’t be exhausted. If there are any local customs and customs that are useful to us, just use them..."

Another woman rushed to say: "Yes, we are all idlers, we can come whenever we are told!"

Xin Yi thanked him again.

The ladies took her to the door of Kaiming Building, where a carriage was already waiting.

They each bowed and said goodbye, and Xin Yi slowly got into the carriage with Xing Yuan's support.

"Go back, everyone, go back..."

She waved her hand, lowered the car curtain, let out a long breath, and rubbed her cheeks that were sore from having to laugh.

"But you pretended to be bad..."

Xingyuan smiled and handed the hand warmer to her hand.

"My maid feels that life is better now."

Xin Yi glanced at her, "What should I say?"

Xingyuan said: "As the saying goes, it's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. In the capital, there are officials, the eldest princess, elders, relatives, admonishers and ministers. There are people in charge of everything, but the restrictions are tight.

It's different in Yangzhou. Everyone has to listen to the king, but the king has to listen to you, so our master is the biggest..."

Xin Yi was amused, "Shut up, I will tear your mouth open carefully."

Xingyuan stuck out her tongue in fear and whispered: "My maid is not talking nonsense. It's not like you haven't noticed that the ladies just came up to each other and fawned over each other. I was even ashamed of them..."

"

Xin Yi shook his head.

"From now on, I will open my medical clinic and have less official entertainment. If I eat too much at this kind of banquet, I won't be able to bear it and my life span will be shortened... Don't call me master one after another. Just call me ma'am."

"My maid understands, Madam."

Xingyuan laughed, "Master, do you want to see Yangzhou City?"

Xin Yi:……

Xingyuan has been with Xin Yi for some time and knows her temperament fairly well.

She may seem indifferent, but she actually has a playful heart. When she first came to Yangzhou, she must have been interested in the night view.

Sure enough, Xin Yi motioned for her to open the curtain.

“Look at the night view of Yangzhou.”

Kaiming Building is on the bank of the canal. The night lights in this area are as bright as day, and it is extremely prosperous. Horse-drawn carriages drive to the middle of the street. Outside the bead curtains are countless dancing pavilions and singing stages, which stretch along the shoreline of the canal, as if they are thousands of miles away.

Far away, never exhausted.

"The world is divided into three parts on a bright moonlit night, and two parts are Yangzhou's scoundrels."

"The spring breeze is ten miles away on Yangzhou Road, and it is better to roll up the bead curtain..."

Xin Yi couldn't help but uttered the sentences of the great poet in his memory, which made Xing Yuan sigh with emotion.

"My wife is truly a husband among women. She is full of knowledge and has learned a lot from the past and the present. No wonder the prince treats you like a baby and loves you..."

Xin Yi was so embarrassed that he almost dug out a piece of Yangzhou Prefecture on the carriage with his toes.

"I just have a good memory and can memorize a few poems."

"That lady is not comparable to others. Taoyu and I can't carry it..."

When Xin Yi heard something was wrong, he suddenly looked over with a cross eyebrow.

"Why do I feel like your mouth is covered with honey?"

Xingyuan chuckled softly, "I didn't learn it from those ladies. They are really good at complimenting people. They praised me more in one night than I did in a year..."

Both of them laughed.

At this time, the carriage suddenly bumped. Xingyuan rushed forward and almost fell on Xin Yi. In order to avoid accidentally injuring her master, she chose to roll out on the spot and become Xin Yi's flesh cushion, and then she hit the seat heavily.

, making a banging sound...

Fortunately, Xin Yi had to catch Xing Yuan who was lying on the ground, and was able to stabilize his body and avoid an unnecessary disaster.

The carriage stopped.

Xin Yi looked around and bumped into the drainage stone channel on the roadside.

She took a deep breath and asked Xingyuan, "Are you okay?"

Xingyuan hit her forehead, but she didn't care about herself. She crawled over and checked Xin Yi's body, "My servant is fine. Princess, how are you? Did you hit anything? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Xin Yi shook his head, opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"

The coachman was arranged by the prefectural government office. He was a fat middle-aged man, about forty years old. The sudden accident also frightened him. He checked the carriage like a pee and then kept apologizing to Xinyi.

"Madam, the axle of the carriage is broken, and we can't travel now. I will try to find a way to find a carriage to take you back home..."

It was a blessing that he didn't hit a pedestrian. Xin Yi didn't care about any unexpected glitches.

"Okay. Don't be anxious, take your time..."

If night had not fallen and she didn't know the way, she would probably have taken the girl and walked back to her house slowly, but now she could only sit obediently in the car, looking at the bustling ten-mile Yangzhou Road, and waiting silently.

The driver came and went very quickly, and in the blink of an eye he brought back a man who looked like a craftsman.

The man looked at the carriage and pointed to the shop in front.

"Take it to my car dealership and replace a bearing. It won't take a long time..."

The coachman discussed with Xin Yi, and Xin Yi agreed.

The dealership was right on the street. She got off the car and walked, accompanied by two girls, and quickly walked over.

The car dealership provided tables and chairs for customers, and Xin Yi sat inside and looked at the various vehicles on sale.

The coachman was so nervous that he crashed the carriage on the first day he took office and asked Mrs. Zhizhou to get off the car and wait for her. He was covered in sweat and did not dare to face Xin Yi. He only went to talk to the craftsman who was repairing the carriage.

"Alas……"

The craftsman took the tools to unload the car and suddenly made a surprised sound.

"How could it be this car?"

Across a curtain, Xin Yi caught the meaning of his words and winked at Xing Yuan.

The driver asked: "Have you seen this car?"

The craftsman frowned, looked at his clothes, then looked at the compartment of the carriage, shook his head, "That shouldn't be the case, maybe it's because of the little man's eyesight."

The driver didn't say anything, but Xin Yi slowly stood up, put his hand on Xing Yuan's arm, and walked out.

"Brother, could you please tell me in detail what is unusual about this car?"

When the craftsman looked up and saw such a beautiful lady, he didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head and repeatedly clasped his fists and begged for mercy, "I was dazzled for a moment and made a mistake. Please forgive me..."

Xin Yi smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a judge in the yamen. How can I easily inflict crimes on others? I'm just curious."

Xingyuan quickly took over the words, "Just tell me if there is anything weird. Our wife is the most tolerant and will not care about it..."

The craftsman hesitated for a moment and said, "Looking at the lady's extraordinary demeanor, I don't think anyone will use this kind of carriage again. It's just a dazzling thing."

Xingyuan stepped forward and put a small piece of broken silver into his hand.

"My lady asks you to say it, just say it. If it's not right, just treat it as a funny thing..."

With money and laughter, the craftsman became bolder, "To tell you the truth, Madam, I have been in the Wei family car dealership for more than ten years. Every car that passes through my hands will have an impression. This one..."

He took the iron pliers and gently tapped the broken axle.

"It's very similar to the soul-locking car that the villain repaired a few years ago..."
