Three days later in the evening, Luo Yan and the others arrived at the city lord's mansion as promised. The lanterns were lit, and the tapestry stretched to the gate. Every distinguished lady covered her face with a curtain, but her eyes hidden behind the gauze were curious.
Looking at this lively scene
Luo Yan wore a tight-fitting samurai suit, a wide-sleeved white coat, a moire wide band around his waist, a light green silk ribbon woven into a wishful buckle, and a piece of jasper hanging from his waist. He stood next to Ye Chonghua with a faint smile, watching him greet all the distinguished guests at the gate.
, the other three followed Huo Guang and worked in the mansion.
"Hey, is this little brother a relative of Lord Ye? He's so handsome!" An old man walked up the steps tremblingly on crutches, looked Luo Yan up and down, and said to Ye Chonghua.
Ye Chonghua wiped his sweat and hurriedly explained the explanation he had given countless times: "No, this is my brother. You are here to help. Come in quickly. Young Junyan is also inside! What? Oh, you sir
It's better to go inside and take a look, it's better inside. Miss Liu's appearance and temperament are both first-class, why don't you worry about not finding something to like!"
After sending the old man and his granddaughter in, Ye Chonghua glared at Luo Yan fiercely: "I am standing here to block your engagement!"
Luo Yan said happily: "Hey, weren't I afraid of embarrassing you, so I specially made new clothes, but you still criticized me!"
Ye Chonghua looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh my God, my earth, why am I not so blessed?"
Luo Yan said contemptuously: "Why didn't you say you got engaged when you were twenty, and now the child is eight years old!"
"Oh, yes! I'm old!" Ye Chonghua looked up at the full moon in the sky, vaguely remembering the scene when he met his wife during the Moonlight Festival, and suddenly missed the bustling Moonlight Festival in previous years.
"Hey, you've come to your senses!" Looking at more and more carriages coming towards the gate, Luo Yan poked him to remind him that it was time to receive them.
Ye Chonghua lowered his head, looked at the gorgeous carriages slowly approaching on the stone road under the steps, and smiled bitterly: "I am the city lord..."
As the number of people increased, the entire city lord's palace was filled with various fragrances. Under the night, colorful clouds were weaving, warblers were singing, and rare jewelry that reflected the bright light often appeared. I really don't know how much thought those girls put into it.
Naturally, when girls arrive, boys must also be given some opportunities. No, in the past, those young men who were either domineering or dull were all trying their best to find those fresh and tender flowers.
Standing at the gate, his legs were sore. Luo Yan was lazy and went to the hall first, intending to find something to moisten his throat. As soon as he entered, he felt a little dazed.
The usually solemn hall was temporarily transformed into a banquet hall. Eight large glazed palace lanterns were hung high, which combined with the silk flowers hanging from the ceiling, created a bright but ambiguous atmosphere for everyone. The main seat was a long and low table.
, what is piled on top is no longer those official documents and orders, but pairs of mascots. Under the main seat, there are two rows of short ones, a man on the left and a woman on the right.
It was not lunch time yet, and all the men and women in the room were chatting reservedly. Occasionally, there would be some women who believed that they could outdo the others by singing softly, waiting for the men to respond to the girls.
They are all dressed up carefully, either with heavy make-up or light makeup. They are all charming and charming. As the saying goes, the soil and water nourish a person. Silver Moon City produces beauties as well as handsome men. This sentence is indeed true.
Luo Yan was a little confused. Girls from Liyue Sect also love beauty, but most of the time they still focus on their cultivation. Except for dressing up nicely on festivals, they usually stay very simple. But now, it can be said that dragging a girl over
, Luo Yan couldn’t tell what material her clothes were made of or what style they were.
Bird skirt, eight-piece skirt, albizia skirt, phoenix tail skirt... Looking at the dazzling array of colorful skirts, Luo Yan patted his forehead in frustration, okay, he is almost becoming a country bumpkin!
He didn't pay attention. As soon as he came in, he attracted the attention of many girls. It has to be said that wearing plain clothes also has its disadvantages. Anyway, Luo Yan's white clothes are too conspicuous among the eyes full of green flowers!
Ever since, when he drank half a bottle of light wine without anyone else around and planned to find Ge San to change his shift, the eyes of the men around him could already be described as "murderous"...
"Ha, Ayan, you are here!" Ge San, who was patrolling in the yard, came in, grabbed the silver pot in his hand, poured himself a glass of light wine, drank it in one gulp, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "I'm thirsty.
Kill me!"
"Is there anything going on in the yard?" Luo Yan asked him in a low voice.
"It's okay! I'm just exhausted from following Brother Huo around!" Ge San waved his hand, not politely, and casually took a plate of snacks from the low table beside him and stuffed it.
"How about we switch? My legs were stiff standing at the door." Luo Yan took a piece of meat floss pancake handed over by Ge San, took a bite, and discussed with him.
"Okay, okay!" Ge San nodded quickly, took a bottle of wine from another low table and drank it down, then patted his belly with satisfaction.
"Tsk, country bumpkin!" Looking at Ge San's eating appearance, an aristocratic young man held a silver wine glass with two fingers and sneered in a low voice.
"Who are you talking about!" Ge San had been tired all night and was already full of anger. When he heard this, he rushed forward without thinking, but Luo Yan grabbed him and glared at him: "This is
City Lord’s Mansion!”
Only then did Ge San remember that this was someone else's territory, so he had to swallow his breath, said hello to Huo Guang, who was chatting and laughing in the distance, and went to the gate sadly.
As soon as Ge San left, Luo Yan was too embarrassed to eat anymore, so he avoided the crowd and approached Huo Guang.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, the melodious sound of bells sounded, and the master of ceremonies shouted: "Miss Xinyue is here~"
Following the sound, a girl wore a snake bun, decorated with diamonds of various colors, a coral and black pearl patina on her forehead, a thin layer of powder on her snow-like skin, and a long-sleeved dress made of red silk. In addition, she looked so tall.
Tall and tall, she looks unparalleled in beauty. She shocked most people as soon as she appeared on the stage.
Alas, I am 29 today, but I can only stay in the dormitory alone to guard the empty room... Oh, why can't I buy a ticket to go home on the night of the 29th? I will be on the train all day tomorrow, so I regret to tell you that tomorrow
