289 Fate
Li Yong sighed softly, "Forget it, you can go with me. You have to let Madam Chang go back and not say bad things about me in front of her aunt."
After saying that, Li Yong had already made great strides.
Shi An was behind him, looking at his back, his eyes slightly dimmed.
Your Highness is still like this, carefully guarding that secret. Even though he has not dared to look for her for so many years, he is afraid that his search will bring her a crisis. He does not dare to let anyone discover the secret in Lingxi Pavilion, whether it is the princess or the prince Wen Enhou, even if Your Highness may understand in his heart that they are willing to protect this secret like him, but Your Highness dare not bear that if it is.
Even for this, they misunderstood.
"How much should King Yu promised to give?" Yan Rui asked about Qi Shen's gains today.
Qi Shen's expression was faint, "Two boxes of muskets and three bird guns."
"That's all?" Yan Rui was stunned, "Is this too stingy?"
"What he said is the truth. Nowadays, the national treasury is empty, and the coastal defense has been fighting against Japanese pirates every year. Although this bird gun is much more exquisite and powerful than a musket, it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive to manufacture, but also burns money. It is a favor for him to give me three. Forget it, even if all the bird guns in the Shenji Camp are moving, they are far from what I want. Let's find a way for ourselves! But in this way, you have to keep an eye on the people and drawings I want, so don't make a mistake."
"Yes." Yan Rui said in a hurry and said.
Qi Shenyi smiled and asked him, "What about you? What are you doing?"
"It's just drinking and chatting with the confidants of King Yu. Shi Yan was so stingy that he couldn't ask anything. But after he had something to go out, his subordinates found a useful news. Tomorrow, the palace will have a family banquet, and the royal relatives will come to the palace to attend the banquet."
Family banquet? Qi Shen raised his eyebrows, and there was a smile between his eyebrows and eyes.
On the New Year's Eve, Han Mansion has a banquet.
Xie Luan was fortunate to be invited, and when she arrived at Han Ming's private residence in the afternoon, she was not the first time she came back. When she helped Han Ming prepare a banquet, she was already very familiar with this house. Therefore, she stepped away from the maid who led her way and came straight into the garden.
There are dozens of plum blossoms planted in a corner of the garden of Han Mansion. Now, it is the time when wintersweet is fragrant, red plum blossoms spit out and white plum blossoms are as snowy. Therefore, today's banquet is set up in the hidden fragrance hall of the plum garden, enjoying flowers and drinking banquets, and exploring the snow to find plum blossoms, which complement each other.
Because Xie Luan arrived early and not too late, he could hear laughter in the plum forest from afar. It seemed that Lord Han was quite popular in Xi'an City.
Xie Luan was not in a hurry. It was rare to have such a leisurely time. While admiring her eyebrows, she was not too slow and walked into the depths of the plum forest like a leisurely stroll in the garden. She was in the scent of the forest, and she was really relaxed and happy.
And today, in such an elegant occasion, we should do some elegant things.
I walked to the Anxiang Hall with a familiarity and was still outside the hall. I heard someone in the hall sigh, "I didn't expect that, I just thought that Brother Han led his troops to fight, but I didn't expect that this painting of calligraphy and painting was also a master among the masters. If Brother Han had not admitted this picture of Qiongmei, I would have thought it was the original work of Emperor Huijing. It was really fake and wonderful!"
Xie Luanyin still had some impression of this voice. It was the dean of the academy who was very interested in Xia Chengxun, who came from Li Fengshu and Dean Li of the Li family in Longxi.
President Li is a bit obsessed with reading and is obsessed with calligraphy and painting. However, his attainments in this area are also truly high.
He said that he was fake and real, so this picture of Qiongmei...
Xie Luan felt a sudden thrill because she heard it. She had never heard of it. Han Ming was good at copying.
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait any longer, so she carried her skirt and went up to the stone steps. However, she took several deep breaths to maintain her usual calm steps.
The maid next to the door set up a curtain for her. She stepped in and raised her smile and said, "It seems that Luan is late, so you must forgive me."
Hearing the movement, everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked at it, and someone said, "Where is it, now Miss Luan is not only the manager of the Ye family, but also the elder sister of the eldest son Ye. Now, the property under the eldest son's name is all handed over to Miss Luan. You are busy with your noble people, and everyone knows that we don't dare to be surprised, but the master here..."
Everyone looked at Han Ming with a smile, and Han Ming smiled and said, "Of course I don't dare to be surprised. I, Han, have no temper towards beauty. What's more, Miss Luan is not just a beauty, but also a confidant."
Everyone booed.
Xie Luan smiled because she pursed her lips and didn't care.
She is not the former noble girl. She doesn't show up every day, but she often mingles with men. She has heard of the words that are even more excessive than this. The rumors in the past are mostly unpleasant.
If she had to care about every sentence, she wouldn't have to live.
I was told that there was a lot of meat.
At this time, she was glad that she still had memories of her previous life. If she was born as a sweet daughter of the Duke Ding Mansion, she was afraid that even if she escaped the blame for life and death, she would not be able to withstand such humiliation?
When everyone saw that her expression was normal, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Even Han Ming glanced at Xie Luan with complicated eyes.
Although President Li is obsessed with learning and calligraphy and painting, he is also a kind-hearted person. Although he is not familiar with Xie Luan, he is familiar with her adoptive father Xia Chengxun. If his adoptive father is not here, even if he is an elder, he can't watch his younger generation be bullied!
Therefore, Dean Li cleared his throat and came up to rescue him, "The niece of the old generation came just right. I told me that Brother Boyong is still above me in terms of calligraphy and painting appreciation, and his views have always been unique. It's a pity that Brother Boyong is not here today..."
"However, it is said that your family is from the root of your family. Brother Boyong always praises you, a girl, is the most smart person. Come on! Come and take a look at this picture of Qiongmei by Lord Han."
Dean Li is not only the president of the academy, but also from the Li family in Longxi, which is a family of aristocratic families that have been going on for hundreds of years.
However, their family rarely serves officials, but they can survive the changes of dynasties and keep themselves safe. The accumulated reputation and reputation of this family cannot be underestimated.
After Dean Li's words, everyone looked at Xie Luanyin with different eyes.
Xie Luanyin naturally knew Dean Li's kindness, and smiled gratefully, but looked embarrassed, "Director Li said this wrongly. Luanyin is a commoner and does things that are very serious every day. How can he understand these things in his body's odor?"
Having said that, Xie Luanyin took advantage of the situation to turn her eyes to her and wanted to see it early in the morning, but she forced herself to suppress the direction she dared not look, and carefully covered her anxiousness.
What caught my eye was indeed the picture of Qiongmei.
