The West Lake Banquet was held on the edge of the West Lake. This time it was a big deal. A total of eight boats were connected together on the lake.
Wooden boards were laid in the gaps to secure them, enclosing hundreds of square meters of space.
At this time, many people had already boarded the boat, chatting among themselves, looking complacent and arrogant.
"Are you here to attend the West Lake Banquet? Do you have an invitation?" The four of them were stopped at the entrance.
"Yes." Zhou Ying directly took out two invitations.
One is for inviting Teacher Ji, and the other is naturally for a banquet for the head of the Zhou family.
"There are four of you. Since you have invitations, you can bring people in for only one thousand taels of silver per person!" The steward said greedily when the four of them met each other.
Such a high-end banquet was attended by high-profile people. I don't know how many big shots in Canghai County wanted to squeeze in to get to know some people and expand their circle.
"One thousand per person is so expensive!" Zhou Ying couldn't help but say.
Although he comes from a wealthy family, his business acumen has been instilled in him since childhood.
He originally wanted to bargain.
At this time, someone behind him smiled and said: "If this girl doesn't give up, I will pay for you this thousand taels?"
"Master Qin, I didn't expect you to come so early!"
"You just want to say a word, how much more money do you want?" A look of respect appeared on the steward's face.
This Young Master Qin is none other than Qin Ao, the Young Master of Canghai County. He was also a figure on the list of Beiyu's Prodigies and was quite famous.
"Then let me pay for the other girl's thousand taels."
At this time, another man next to Qin Ao pointed at Zhou Jin and said.
Zhou Ying and Chen Longxuan turned around and saw that they were enemies. The person who came with Qin Ao was none other than Weng Zhenxuan.
When he said this, he naturally laughed at the two of them on purpose.
"One thousand taels, we can pay for it ourselves." Naturally, the two women paid the money not to be outdone.
"You can't bear to part with a seven-foot-tall man even for a thousand taels!" Qin Ao snorted at Zhou Ying and Chen Longxuan at this time, and walked in with great disdain.
But Weng Zhenxuan obviously had a backer this time. He looked at Chen Xuan, feeling uneasy and unhappy.
"Ignore them." Bai Qingqing said hurriedly at this time, fearing that Chen Longxuan would take action if he got angry.
If they take action in such a situation, they will naturally suffer the loss.
"I'm just here to join in the fun, and at most, have a meal!" Chen Longxuan smiled and said nothing.
The four of them quickly entered the boat and found a seat to sit down!
Because Teacher Ji is a strong master and has connections with the Zhou family, their invitations were arranged in the second level.
When Qin Ao and Weng Zhenxuan entered, Chen Longxuan saw that their sign was Grade A, which should be the best location.
There are twelve counties in Beiyu State, and this county guard is actually equivalent to the lord of a city.
However, those who can be assigned to areas A and B are considered well-known figures.
Soon, because of their position, many people respectfully came forward to introduce themselves and wanted to make friends.
"I am Chen Xuan, a student of Canghai Academy's Xuanjia class..."
"I am Zhou Ying, a student of Canghai Academy's Xuanjia class..."
The two of them also responded sincerely.
"Xuanjia class? Xuanjia warriors can actually be arranged in such a good position?"
Those people were stunned for a moment, and the enthusiasm on their faces suddenly disappeared.
"Let's go and pay a visit to Mr. Qin and Mr. Weng first." The few of them ignored them and left without saying a word.
"No matter where he is, this person is still realistic."
Chen Longxuan and Zhou Ying looked at each other and were suddenly stunned.
"You still can't be too down-to-earth as a human being! The way to live in the world is to know and understand people, and you will gain wisdom every time you go through it!" Bai Qingqing also said with a smile.
Chen Longxuan didn't expect Bai Qingqing to have such insight.
Considering his own situation, even if Chen Longxuan succeeds in revenge by killing Xia Yi and Bei Yu Wushuang in the future, it will only be on a personal level. If he wants to clear Chen Yuanzhi of treason, he needs background and identity.
Unless he controls the power of a country, no one will work for him.
"If you look at it from this perspective, I should start taking precautions now and conquer some people and forces for my use!" Chen Longxuan thought to himself.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in ten days! Brother Chen, where is your home? Are you homesick?" Zhou Jin suddenly asked.
In fact, what she meant by this was that she hoped that the other party would extend an invitation and let her come as a guest.
It's a pity that Chen Longxuan's family has been destroyed, so there is no such thing as a family.
He is full of hatred, not to mention the love between his children.
At this moment, the number of people in the boat slowly began to increase, and most people took advantage of this rare opportunity to make friends.
"Brother Xuan, it's really boring here!" Zhou Ying felt quite uncomfortable at this time.
After all, a rough man sees everyone around him pretending to be so elegant and elegant, speaking in a coherent manner.
Even if you want to drink tea, you have to taste it carefully with your mouth, which is very uncomfortable.
"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it!" Chen Longxuan said calmly.
What does the so-called scholarly elegance mean? After all, he is a modern person who has been influenced by Tang poetry and Song lyrics.
The talents of these people were pitifully insignificant in front of him.
"Prince Rong is here, the governor is here!"
At this time, someone shouted, and the whole place suddenly became excited.
There are also impressive officials who come in with guards, but they wear civilian clothes to protect them secretly.
Several of them are obviously already at the master level.
When the county guard came in, there were naturally many people following him.
The most conspicuous one is a woman.
She is tall, fair-skinned, and a stunning beauty.
As long as you look at her a few more times, you will feel an indescribable sense of coquettishness, which makes people fall deeply into it and cannot extricate themselves.
"The talented and beautiful Zixuan actually deigned to come to our Canghai County."
At this time, everyone was crazy with joy.
Zixuan is undoubtedly the oiran in the brothel!
But if an oiran is given the name of everyone, he is the best among oirans and is famous all over the world.
This is similar to modern popular celebrities.
"Is this Zixuan famous?" Zhou Jin wondered with some jealousy.
"More famous than you think! It is rumored that Prince Rong once invited Zixuan and everyone to come to the mansion to talk, but she refused! And Prince Rong had no choice."
Bai Qingqing looked at Zixuan and the others, and her beautiful eyes actually showed a star-chasing look.
Prince Rong is the boss of the royal family. He was once the empress's strongest political opponent, but now he has been suppressed to the point that he has no real power.
However, Zixuan is a woman with great courage and wisdom who dares to reject him.
"Even Prince Rong can't do anything. Is that impossible?" Zhou Jin couldn't help but show doubts.
"If Prince Rong wants to use force, he will be criticized by thousands of people and scolded by the whole country! When a person's reputation rises to this level, it is a bit scary!" Chen Longxuan said lightly.
In fact, he can also guess that there must be a backstage behind this Zixuan.
"Brother Xuan said that!" Bai Qingqing looked at Chen Longxuan in surprise, not expecting him to see the problem so thoroughly and keenly.
