One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 125 Forced Marriage?

the next day.

The Cuishan mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the servants all had smiles on their faces.

Today is Cuishan's birthday banquet, his 46th birthday.

On such a festive day, the servants were indeed a bit busy, but there were also rewards.

At this time of year, they can get the red envelopes from Cuishan, and the amount is quite considerable.

"Mr. Qingfan."

Yun Shang came to the top floor of the small building and knocked on the door of Lu Qingfan's room.

"come in."

Lu Qingfan sat up from the bed.

Yun Shang pushed the door open and walked in, standing stiffly.

"sit down."

"it is good."

Yun Shang found a chair and sat down, "Mr. Qing Fan, the birthday banquet is about to begin, shall we go to the table?"

"Row."

Lu Qingfan got out of bed.

"I know you don't like excitement, our table is in the back, and it's just the two of us."

Yun Chang took a careful look at Lu Qingfan, "If you really don't like it, I'll ask someone to bring over the food, and we'll eat here."

"It doesn't have to be like this."

Lu Qingfan smiled, "And you don't have to try to please me, just be yourself."

"I was too deliberate."

Yun Shang also felt that it was too tiring and a little hard work, and after hearing what Lu Qingfan said, she immediately relaxed.

"Then I'll call you Qingfan?"

"It's all right."

Lu Qingfan never cared about the address.

"Let's go then."

Yun Chang got up and went out first.

Lu Qingfan followed behind her unhurriedly.

The two went downstairs and walked out of the courtyard.

I met many servants along the way, and they greeted Yun Shang one after another.

"Miss!"

Xiao Dai chased after her, "Why didn't you call me?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't come, I'm here."

Yun Chang turned her head and smiled, "You have been tired with me during this time, so take a rest today."

"No."

Xiao Dai also smiled, "Today is a big event, I can't miss it."

"Ok."

Yunshang and Xiaodai looked at each other and smiled, but they both caught the trace of worry in each other's eyes.

The stakes are high today.

This home is doomed if not handled properly!
The people in this family naturally dispersed.

Can only rely on him!
Yun Shang and Xiao Dai turned their eyes to Lu Qingfan at the same time.

Lu Qingfan's expression was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

The three walked through several courtyards and came to the main courtyard.

This is Cuishan's residence.

Dozens of tables are set up in the courtyard.

There were a few people scattered around the table, and it was half an hour before the banquet started, and the guests hadn't arrived yet.

"what?"

Yun Shang saw a familiar face, and her expression changed, "Why is she here?"

"willow?"

Xiao Dai was also stunned.

"Ok?"

Yang Liu was sitting there in a daze, when she heard the voice, she turned her head and saw Yun Shang and Xiao Dai, she was only slightly startled.

But when she saw Lu Qingfan, her eyes suddenly widened.

"It's you?"

Yang Liu stood up in shock.

"Let's go."

Yun Chang didn't want to talk to Yang Liu, let alone Lu Qingfan, so he gently tugged at Lu Qingfan's clothes.

Xiao Dai moved her body, just in time to block Yang Liu's gaze.

The three entered the house.

Yang Liu wanted to follow, but stopped after only a few steps.

Forget it, we'll talk about it later.

Yang Liu changed her mind.

There are more than a dozen tables in the room, but no guests have come yet.

Yun Shang led Lu Qingfan through the lobby and into the innermost room.

The room is big, there is only one table, no one.

"Please sit down."

Yun Shang smiled and said, "There are only three of us at this table."

"Miss, I am not qualified to be on the table."

Xiaodai stood by the table and smiled, "I'm in charge of serving you today."

"fine."

Yun Shang sat down, "Just eat with us, don't care what others think."

"Mr. Qingfan, please sit down."

Xiaodai glanced at Lu Qingfan, "I'm going to make a pot of tea."

This table is very big, and Lu Qingfan and Yunshang are sitting face to face.

Xiaodai brought the teapot and poured tea for the two of them, and then she stood by the table, no matter what Yun Shang said, she just refused to go to the table, and she refused to even sit down.

Although she and Yun Shang are like sisters, there are some rules that she cannot break.

A maid is a maid!

Yunshang and Lu Qingfan chatted casually, and the outside gradually became lively.

The guests are slowly arriving.

At noon, the banquet officially began.

First, eight cold dishes were served on the table, followed by hot dishes one after another.

The whole table was filled in no time.

Xiaodai is responsible for serving tea and water, serving and removing dishes.

"Qing Fan, I offer you a toast."

Yun Shang picked up the wine glass.

"it is good."

Lu Qingfan clinked glasses with Yun Shang and took a sip of the wine.

The room next door was very lively, and various sounds could be heard clearly.

Cuishan was in the next room, and those who shared the wine table with him were all his most distinguished guests.

Including the city lord, the business owner, the patriarch of the big family, and the master of the sect.

Each tribe of the Yi nationality is equivalent to a country, and each city has a city owner, and the city owner is under the control of the tribal leader.

This is equivalent to official power.

The power of the people should not be underestimated either.

The greatest power among them comes from various sects.

Different from the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sects of the Yi nationality are prosperous, and there are countless sects, large and small.

There are even some super martial arts.

The city where Yunshang is located is called Caishi City. It is a small border town and is famous for producing spirit stones.

There are many spiritual stone mines here, and a large number of people have become rich because of this.

Cuishan is the largest spirit stone mine owner in Caishi City.

He has good strength and is a good person, and many people under his command work hard for him.

More importantly, he has a backer.

Although Xingyu Pavilion is only a second-rate sect, it can be regarded as the largest sect within a few hundred miles around here.

Cuishan is backed by the Xingyun Gate, and has a good relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. In addition, he has good strength and capable generals by his side, so he can gain a firm foothold here.

"Everyone, let me toast a glass of wine."

Cui Shan stood up holding the wine glass, and looked around with a smile on his face, "Thank you all for coming to the humble house today and wishing me a birthday, I will do it first to respect!"

After finishing speaking, Cuishan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"it is good."

Everyone stood up and toasted.

After drinking, everyone sat down.

The person on Cuishan's left is the lord of Caishi City. He knocked on the table suddenly, drawing everyone's attention to him, and said, "Cuishan, I heard that your daughter is back?"

"Yeah, I just came back yesterday."

"That's good."

The city lord nodded and asked with a smile: "How do you think about the marriage of the two children?"

"Of course I have no opinion, but the little girl just came back, and I haven't had time to ask her opinion yet."

In fact, Cuishan hasn't thought about it yet, so he can only perfunctory first.

"As long as you agree, it's fine."

The city lord smiled, "Why don't we use today's opportunity to finalize the children's marriage?"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Cuishan continued to perfunctory.

"Ok?"

The face of the city lord changed, and when he was about to speak, the door opened suddenly, and a servant ran in, "Master, someone is looking for you outside!"

Cui Shan frowned, "Who is it? You're here at this time?"

"It's the head of the Qingshan Sect."

The servant ran to Cuishan and whispered, "He also brought a lot of betrothal gifts!"
