Chapter 270 Look What Guests I Have Invited
Lin Junting followed Fan Laiheng, "Brother Fan, where are we going?"
Fan Laiheng looked at him sideways with a smile, "What do you think?"
Lin Junting felt a little uncomfortable. If it were before, who would have dared to give him such a pass?
But thinking of his current situation and Fan Laiheng's rescue of him, Lin Junting was silent for a moment and then smiled, "How could I guess that?"
After all, because he rarely forced a smile, the tone of this sentence was a bit harsh.
Fan Laiheng didn't seem to notice it, and laughed, "Forget it if you can't guess it. You will know when you get to the place."
Lin Junting silently closed his mouth and didn't speak all the way.
Fan Laiheng was in high spirits. He kept talking and laughing as he walked, as if he was in a good mood.
Lin Junting almost didn't hear clearly what he said along the way. In his mind, all he thought about was what he would do in the future, where his father, mother, and brothers and sisters were now, and what they were going through...
He just mechanically followed Fan Laiheng through the courtyards. He didn't know how long it took, but there was a faint fragrance of flowers and laughter in front of him, and Fan Laiheng finally stopped.
"We're here." Fan Laiheng's voice interrupted Lin Junting's fugue.
Seeing Lin Junting just staring ahead without saying a word, Fan Laiheng twitched his lips, with undisguised excitement in his eyes: "Please, Brother Lin."
Lin Junting didn't understand what he meant and nodded to him, then Fan Laiheng held his arm and dragged him forward.
This is an exquisite courtyard. Even at night, under the pale yellow light emitted by the plain lanterns, you can still see the exquisite layout of the courtyard, and the flowers, trees, mountains and rocks have all been carefully selected.
Lin Junting politely praised, "Brother Fan's manor has a Jiangnan style that makes you forget the customs."
Fan Laiheng laughed loudly, "It's a reward, it's a reward. It's a simple home, but to be praised by Brother Lin like this is really a plus."
Passing through the corridor and bypassing the screen wall, the lights in front are bright, and the figures of several women are projected on the flower windows.
Lin Junting quickly stopped and said, "Brother Fan, is this the inner courtyard? Isn't it appropriate for me to come in?"
Fan Laiheng pulled him forward with force, "Although I am a merchant, I can't bring Brother Lin into the inner courtyard. This is a place for entertaining guests. Although there are female guests today, they are not outsiders. Brother Lin, don't worry.
"
Lin Junting was hesitant, but was unable to withstand Fan Laiheng's force. Several of his servants also followed suit, and they all tried to persuade Lin Junting to go in without worries.
"That's the case, then please do it." Lin Junting thought, if Fan Laiheng hadn't saved his life at that time, he would have fallen into the hands of the court;
Now that he was a prisoner of the imperial court, there was no need for Fan Laiheng to go to great lengths to deal with him. All he had to do was send him to the government, so why bother setting up a trap?
Lin Junting calmed down and followed Fan Laiheng forward.
"The uncle is here." When the two maids guarding the door saw Fan Laiheng, they saluted and said hello delicately, and raised the sky-green gauze curtain.
Fan Laiheng looked very familiar with these two maids. He put his head to the neck of the girl closest to him and smelled it. He laughed softly and said, "What kind of fragrance is Sister Yanhong using today? It smells so good?"
The maid's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Fan Laiheng coquettishly, "The uncle is here to make fun of me again! She is not Xiao Jinyu, nor is she the elder sister Mei Lu who is beside the uncle. Where does this fragrance come from?"
Fan Laiheng touched his palms and blinked at Yan Hong, "This belongs to the uncle!" He took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to the maid, "This is the new Cheng'en Dew from Yinyun Pavilion.
How about I apologize to my sister Yanhong?"
The maid blushed, but quickly reached out and grabbed the small box tightly. As for Fan Laiheng taking the opportunity to touch her delicate and white hands, she obviously did not take it seriously.
Lin Junting was standing in front of him. Seeing the extremely familiar scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Among their group of distinguished sons, eight out of ten behave in this way.
However, Lin Junting is different from them. He is not addicted to women. He prefers cockfighting, hunting, and riding horses.
Seeing Fan Laiheng's behavior now made him feel a little more intimate.
His mood improved slightly, and there was a smile on Lin Junting's face when he followed Fan Laiheng into the flower hall that was as bright as day.
As soon as Fan Laiheng walked in, he raised his hand and tapped several times to attract everyone's attention. "Everyone, come and see what distinguished guests I have invited!"
Lin Junting frowned. He was now an imperial prisoner arrested by the court. It was too late to hide his name. How could Fan Laiheng introduce him to his guests so openly?
If someone reports this, the Fan family will be implicated!
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a stunned girl in the table and couldn't help but pause.
"Why is Chu Xianyu here?" Lin Junting stared at that sweet and innocent face, with questions in his mind.
Just after such a pause, Fan Laiheng had already grabbed Lin Junting's arm and pushed him in front of him, making him face a group of young men and women in the flower hall. "This is an honored guest that I can't even invite on ordinary days!"
Apart from anything else, Lin Junting's appearance is indeed very eye-catching.
