Yingzhou is not so much a continent as a real island. It is hard to imagine how an area surrounded by sea has this prosperity.

Lan Hejin sat in the pleasure boat, serving the beauties on both sides, pouring wine and rubbing their shoulders, feeling very comfortable. He opened his mouth and picked up the apples handed over by the beauties. Lan Hejin was obviously in a good mood and looked at Qiuhong sitting next to him, "Mr. Qiu is so polite, it's really a tragic death!"

"Not to break the evil! Nothing to break the evil!" Qiuhong quickly took over Lan Hejin's words, and his old face almost burst into wrinkles. "It is a blessing for the officials to be able to meet Lan and Prime Minister. If Lan He said this, it is really a great official!"

"You are kind to you, Lord Qiu!" Lan and Jin patted Qiuhong's shoulder with a smile, then turned their heads to the side, chewing the tongue in Qiuhong's ears, "Lord Qiu also knows that this is just a matter of face. The grand tutor is really too tight, otherwise Jin wouldn't have caused trouble to Lord Qiu!"

The Qiu family was originally a governor sent by the dynasty to guard Yingzhou. Because it was far away and over the years, it broke away from the jurisdiction of the court and became a small island managed by the Qiu family. Recently, Qiu Hong seemed to have colluded with the pirates on the sea again, hijacking cargo ships from Dongwu everywhere, causing local merchants to suffer...

Qiu Hong thought that this young prime minister would give him a warning first, but she didn't expect that she had been convinced by herself from the beginning...

Qiuhong felt a little fluttering in her heart, but she was still quite guarded against Lan and Jin, but she still had enough roles on the surface, and she bowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Lan and the Prime Minister, for showing mercy. I am very grateful..." Although she had respect, the falsehood in her words was undoubtedly exposed.

A gleam flashed in Lan Hejin's eyes, he lowered his head to drink tea, covered it without any trace, reached out to put his hand on the waist of the pink-clothed beauty on his right, and pulled it into his arms.

The beauty in pink exclaimed and fell into Lan Hejin's arms, her little face red with shame. The man in front of her was handsome and elegant, and she was the dignified "the most beautiful girl from Dongwu". How could she not let her be so excited?

The beauty was in her arms, and the intoxicating powdery anger made Lan and Jin frown. She slapped the beauty's waist badly and smiled at Qiu Hong, "I am very happy with the gift given by Lord Qiu. I hope Lord Qiu will not dislike Jin's little intention!"

Lan Hejin waved his hand, and the guards around him immediately understood and opened the several large boxes they brought from Fengcheng. They were all full of gold, silver and jewelry, and they had never seen them in the palace.

Qiuhong is a person who knows the goods. When she saw such a high-end product, her soul was attracted by the golden light. She didn't notice the sneer on the corner of Lan and Jin's mouth at all.

"Lan and Prime Minister are so dissatisfied!" Qiu Hong said this, and his hands were indeed wandering around the jewelry for a long time before he ordered someone to close the lid and lift it down. He smiled generously and said, "Qiu prepared a welcome banquet for Brother Jin without authorization, and he didn't know whether he would like to Brother Jin!"

Just a few boxes of jewelry, even the title changed... I despised Qiu Hong for a moment, but the kind smile on my face was still there, "I'm sorry, Brother Qiu!" Lan Hejin held back his disgust and called Qiu Hong brother. She was a very good boy in her teens. She actually called an old man in his forties or fifties, how could he feel...

The welcoming banquet is very ordinary, with no gorgeous singing and dancing, and no beauties and poets to accompany you. There are just four simple people, accompanied by a full fish banquet, and the food is also a great pleasure.

Lan Hejin picked up the salmon made into braised quilt and said, "This fish must be eaten raw to taste delicious!"

"Can fish be eaten raw?" Qiuhong was shocked by Lan Hejin's words. He grew up by the beach and had never heard of such a way to eat it.

"Get raw fish, peel it, and cut it into thin slices." Lan Hejin looked up and winked at Hua Yuewu. Hua Yuewu got up and walked out. After a while, he brought in a plate of crystal clear fish fillets.

But seeing the fish fillet as thin as a cicada's wings, the tiny holes could cast the afternoon sunshine. Add a piece and put it in your mouth. The meat was delicious and the lips and teeth were fragrant. Qiuhong couldn't help but smack her lips twice and savored the unique taste.

Qiuhong's stunning Lan and Jin were naturally in mind, so they drank quietly and deliberately spread the topic, "The wine in Yingzhou is very fragrant and is comparable to the pear blossom dance in Fengcheng..."

Lan Hejin played with the white jade wine glass in his hand, looked at the beautiful jade without any flaws, and his right hand was filled with a white silk fan and swirled beautifully.

"This is Yingzhou's sauce-flavored wine, which is quite famous in Dongwu!" When he heard Lan and Jin speak, Qiuhong naturally continued to walk down. People are in high positions and always like to listen to people blowing their ears. Qiuhong can do this trick...

"Does Brother Qiu have a wife and children?" Since he tasted Hongli's rouge, the other wines seemed to have turned into boiled water. Unwilling to be entangled with Qiuhong about the issue of soy sauce, Lan Hejin changed the topic, and seemed to have not seen Qiuhong's family at the welcoming banquet...

"One wife, two concubines, two sons and two daughters!" Qiuhong replied after drinking a glass of wine.

"Brother Qiu is also a successor, and he can enjoy the joy of family!" Lan Hejin sighed, with infinite yearning in his eyes. He glanced at Qiuhong with a look, raised his wine glass, and nodded to him.

"Brother Jin..." Qiu Hong immediately reacted, smiled embarrassedly, pretending to slap himself, "It's because Xia Guan is negligent. The Prime Minister and Xia Guan are so different from each other, and they are called brothers. It's really a confusing..."

...

Ning Fan next to him looked at him and greeted each other more and more angry. The white jade in his hand was almost crushed into two halves. His eyes were full of loss when he looked at Lan and Jin: What he said was to serve Dongwu...

Just as I wanted to get up and compete with Lan Hejin, I was pressed by Hua Yuewu beside me, "Qiuhong is definitely not something you can fight against..."

Hua Yuewu's eyes were as deep as the water in a deep pool, so faintly that it was invisible. The joyful waves reflected the man in white.

"Brother Qiu said this really happened. You and I hit it off at first sight, so why are you confused or not?" Lan Hejin chuckled, shook the wine in the glass, and looked deeply at the layers of ripples of the liquid, covering up the cunning flashing in his eyes, "I wonder if Brother Qiu's two daughters can get married?"
