Under the vast starry sky, thousands of houses in Qingzhou City are brightly lit.
The prefect’s mansion is even more brightly lit and steaming!
Tonight, the Grand Administrator, Mr. Yan Zhenyan, is hosting a banquet in the Prefecture’s Mansion! The purpose is to cleanse the world for the Deputy Envoy!
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Department sent your Excellency to Qingzhou in person. What a big deal that is!
The royal power grants me the privilege of being here in person!
If you can meet the deputy envoy once or be noticed by the deputy envoy, you will be very successful in your life! Who wouldn't want to take advantage of this opportunity? Even if the prefect cannot accept the invitation, everyone will be eager to get in!
Prominent people from all walks of life have submitted their posts, even Zhang Dejun, the deputy general of Qingzhou, who usually can't even fight with eight poles, has submitted his posts!
But this time the eunuch was cruel and refused to call outsiders. He only allowed in those who had met and spoken to Feng Jiuxiao during the day. The reasons he gave were very speechless!
Not enough tables and chairs!
That is to say, the reception capacity of Yan Mansion is too limited!
Some people said they would bring their own tables and chairs, but they said there was no room.
Some people said they could provide a place, but they said it was unsafe.
In short, no one is allowed in! No one is allowed in even if they are scolded for eating alone!
In the end, Feng Jiuxiao asked Pang Shishi to come forward, clarifying on his behalf that he was tired and didn't want to be disturbed, so the people blocking the door dispersed!
Feng Jiuxiao, Pang Shishi, Yuan Zishan, Chili Pepper, Xiong Mengyan and two piano slaves, Wang Sheng, Duan Muyan, Ye Liqing, Lao Zhang, there are already eleven people, plus Han Tang, Lao Ba, Cai
The general and one of his soldiers, two masters and servants of Yang Buyue, and two masters and servants of Xiao Rengui, these are eight people again. Naturally, thirty little girls could not be left behind and they all were brought in. Nearly five people came at once.
With ten people, the prefect's mansion was almost overcrowded!
There were not that many big tables, so small tables were used to make up the space. Finally, coffee tables and desks were all used, and they were lined up from the lobby to the courtyard. Although it looked messy, it was very lively!
According to the prefect Yan Zhen, this is so down-to-earth! He said that when he was a child, his grandfather was still alive and four generations lived under the same roof. It was so delicious to have dozens of families eating together! Now that he has entered the official career, he has not encountered such a person for many years.
What a scene, it really makes me happy!
Those little girls were at an age full of curiosity and were looking around non-stop, almost unable to stop. Over the past few days, under the care and guidance of Yuan Zishan and Chili Pepper, they gradually let go of their fear and dispelled the fear and haze in their hearts.
Gradually he became lively and cheerful.
They are still full of love and trust for this world.
Seeing their energetic appearance, everyone seemed to be infected and felt younger!
Mrs. Yan Zhen had been observing these little girls from behind the door. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them. She signaled to Yan Zhen, who immediately rushed over.
"Ms. sir, those little girls are very smart. I would like to take them in as my maids. How about that?"
Yan Zhen was startled and said in deep thought: "They are both mute, do you mind?"
Mrs. Yan frowned, feeling even more distressed, "Why are you so mute?"
Yan Zhen explained the situation.
Madam Yan immediately said with hatred: "That Great Hero Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty is really a goddamn man! And that Japanese dog! He should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"
Yan Zhenzhen said: "Do you still want it?"
Mrs. Yan looked resolute, "Why not! I wanted to take them in because I felt sorry for them, but now I have to take them in! I originally wanted to keep three, but now I want six!"
Yan Zhen was a little confused, "With my situation, I can raise six more maids..."
Mrs. Yan's face darkened, "It's not like I asked you to take six concubines, why are you worried? Your money is not enough for me! My mother-in-law gives me money every year!"
Yan Zhen looked around and his face turned red, "Please lower your voice, I agree, I agree!"
Pfft! A woman laughed out loud! She couldn't hold it back!
When the prefect Yan Zhen saw that it was the little girl dressed in black and pretending to be a man, he had no choice but to smile awkwardly. What else could he do? The little girl looked like someone close to the deputy envoy. How dare he glare at her?
However, Yuan Zishan knocked Chili Pepper on the head and scolded: "Be polite!"
Chili covered his head and let out a loud "Oh!"
Yan Zhen said to his wife: "I still have to ask the deputy envoy for instructions. Please wait for me."
"No need for you, I'll go!" Mrs. Yan rolled her eyes at him!
Yan Zhen chuckled twice, and saw that the boy next to him kept looking at him sideways. He probably despised himself in his heart, so he immediately straightened his back and said to him: "Clean this area, it's so dirty, can't you see it?"
"The boy said: "I'm going to get the broom." After saying that, he turned around and left, but started to mutter: "I'm just afraid of my wife because I'm afraid of my wife, and I'm pretending to be a hero!"
Yan Zhen immediately glared and said, "You brat, what are you mumbling about?"
The young man continued walking without looking back and said: "Nothing, I just miss my wife!" Yan Zhen snorted and said softly: "You little bastard, you are really worthless!" He turned around to see what the wife was doing with the deputy.
What did the master say? Suddenly he was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked at the background where the young man was walking away. "You little bastard, where did you get your wife before we got engaged? You must have scolded me again just now! This little bastard!" He was very worried.
I want to beat up the little bastard, but I dare not, because the little bastard is his wife’s distant nephew!
Madam Yan came to Feng Jiuxiao and made a blessing gift, and Feng Jiuxiao quickly returned the gift. Madam Yan said directly, "My lord, deputy envoy, I want to keep a few girls as my maids. I wonder if you have any opinion?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then it depends on their own wishes!" Yuan Zishan was beside him, and she said: "I'll go and ask."
Mrs. Yan stared at Yuan Zishan for a long time, showing doubts, but stopped talking.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Madam, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it!"
"He seems to be a woman?"
"Um."
"real?"
"Um."
"Oh, I see."
Madam Yan's eyes immediately returned to normal, and she no longer looked at Yuan Zishan! The deputy envoy said everything with two words! That person was indeed a woman, and the reason why she disguised herself as a man was naturally because she didn't want others to know her identity! Then I would like to ask one more question
It seems so ignorant and rude!
Yuan Zishan finally made it clear by writing and making gestures. The little girls didn't agree at first because they still wanted to see their parents! But Yuan Zishan said that her parents could meet again in the future, and anyone who was favored by Mrs. Yan should
Fortunately, this trip to the Southern Tang Dynasty is full of risks. If something unexpected happens, let alone meeting your parents, you will have to worry about whether you can make it to the Southern Tang Dynasty alive! Stay and stabilize yourself. After a while, you can either go back to visit relatives by yourself, or bring your parents over to get together.
, all are possible.
After Yuan Zishan's enlightenment and the fact that Mrs. Yan would stay with six people, everyone would have a companion so they would not be lonely, so the girls finally agreed.
The other little girls all expressed their envy. They were not jealous. They wanted to go home in a hurry. If they didn't stay, it didn't matter.
