Chapter 21
If it was really because of He Xingqian that he was called over.

Then when I have been in for such a long time, there will be no movement at all.

Because she has been invited into the mansion for a long time, but there is no one she knows here, and no one pays attention to her.

As a result, she began to look around cautiously, but Gu Qian, who accidentally observed this scene, thought.

Looking at the main seat, it seems that she has not been discovered at all.Two people talking and laughing happily.

Gu Qian hesitated for a moment, then silently lowered her sense of existence, and then lowered it.

Quietly return the same way.He returned to his female guest.

After all, the magistrate of the county is a person of status, so his banquet also implements the method of entertaining male and female guests separately.

When Gu Qian returned to the female guest, no one noticed that she had left or returned.

Or someone noticed, but they didn't care where Gu Qian had just gone.

The hostess of the female guest here is the wife of the county magistrate.

When this lady, Gu Qian, came in, she was brought up by the maid to say hello.

The lady's demeanor was very nonchalant, showing no surprise or other emotion.

It seems that she already knew that such a village girl would appear at today's banquet.

He just nodded slightly and looked at Gu Qian from top to bottom.So he asked the maid to take Gu Qian aside to rest and have some snacks.

Not even a word of hospitality was said!
At that time, the lady's attitude made Gu Qian's heart sink inexplicably.

Because she understands that it is definitely not a good thing for the wife of the master to treat her like this.

It can only explain one thing, that is, in the heart of the other party, oneself is just an insignificant thing.

A person who is so insignificant that it would be a waste to even say one more word to himself!
Since it doesn't matter, why invite yourself here?

Gu Qian took a deep breath.I already understood that the reason for the magistrate's invitation to come here is probably not a good thing.

And it was precisely because of this understanding that Gu Qian seemed to be ignorant and uninformed wandering around, looking around curiously.

In fact, it is the behavior of carefully observing the surrounding environment.

At least, even when something happens.

You have to know in which direction you can escape!
However, Gu Qian never thought that she would see He Xingqian at the banquet with such a small act.

The other party seems to be a guest of the county magistrate?
What was going on here, Gu Qian thought about the identity of the other party, but she had no clue.

In the end, she could only think with a thick skin.

I have saved He Xingqian's life anyway, and now the other party still needs her to save those legs.

Well, if I were killed today and asked for help from the other party, the other party should agree, right?
Gu Qian went back to the back garden where the female guests were entertained in wild thoughts, thinking about this matter.

Finally, he set his sights on the guests at the scene again.

No matter whether she succeeds or not, Gu Qian wants to find a chance to ask He Xingqian for help first.

Since she asked for help, Gu Qian was the first to bear the brunt.It is necessary to clarify one's own situation before prescribing the right medicine.

In fact, a stranger appeared here at a banquet, but no one cared about it, which already explained the problem.

Under normal circumstances, the number of people and faces in the same circle in a region are fixed.

And if there are new faces on this occasion, most of the attitude will be curiosity.

Maybe she wanted to know who the other party was, but there wasn't one here. Gu Qian had been here for so long, but no one had asked her name, or had looked at her curiously.

This only shows that most of the people at the scene know their identities.

Or maybe he knew the purpose of being invited by this group of people this time.

Gu Qian originally planned to talk to this group of people to find a breakthrough.

But just as she was about to walk towards the girls, Gu Qian stopped suddenly.

After blinking, Guo decisively changed his route again, and walked towards a woman who was obviously panicked and had red eyes beside the lotus pond.

The reason why she suddenly changed her target was very simple, it was just because that girl was different from the girls who were dressed in gold and silver at the scene, with exquisite and gorgeous clothes.

The woman was only wearing an ordinary peasant sarong.

Combined with the panicked expression of the other party, Gu Qian was sure that this person probably had the same experience as hers.

Then... can I get any information from this person?
The expression of fear and unwillingness on this person's face is too obvious, it doesn't look like he doesn't know anything about this banquet.

"……Are you OK."

Gu Qian carefully handed over a handkerchief, and quietly signaled that the girl was about to burst into tears.

She pretended to be timid and uneasy to remind.

"Don't blame me for being nosy, this girl, just."

Gu Qian pursed her lips, as if she was afraid of something, and suppressed her voice even lower, appearing very timid and uneasy.

"It's just that today is the day of the county magistrate's great joy. I heard that the county magistrate is not a good-tempered master. It might not be appropriate to let him know that you look like this at his banquet."

"I look like this, am I still afraid of him?"

The girl subconsciously replied, her tone was blunt and resentful.

Sure enough, this man knew something.

After the girl finished speaking, she realized that it was Gu Qian, a girl who was dressed similarly to her.

The girl was taken aback for a moment, and her tone softened, as if she felt a little more sympathy and sympathy for Gu Qian.

"You...were also invited by the magistrate?"

"Yes."

Gu Qian pretended to be an innocent girl.

Speak quietly with the other party.

"I was really surprised when I said it. I only met the county magistrate once before when I was beating drums in the yamen, but I don't know why, this county magistrate seemed to remember me. He even called me over."

"Sister, let me ask you a question. Seeing that you are dressed similarly to me, do you know that the magistrate called me over to do something? It's scary to know nothing."

The man was shocked: "You don't know anything?!"

Now, Gu Qian didn't need acting skills, she shook her head sincerely.

"Hey, whatever, since I've already entered this ghostly place, it's okay to tell you. I'm the daughter of a butcher in this county town, and I was called here suddenly."

"But fortunately, I have a relative who works in this mansion, so I can barely know some news."

The girl glanced left and right, seeing that no one was paying attention to their movements, she said mockingly.

"This time, we should be specially recruited by the county magistrate to serve and give away."

"I heard that the county magistrate recently met a man who lost his legs from somewhere. In just a few days, he treated him as a guest of honor, and his attitude was extremely warm."

"I heard that this is the reason why we appeared here this time. It is said that our county magistrate found that the man with both legs was useless had only one servant by his side, and no women to serve him. He specially recruited us to send him over. .”

"As for us appearing here, it's probably because the magistrate of the county has collected too many women, and they didn't get all of them at once. So they didn't bother to bully and lure us one by one, so they put us here first, hoping to wait for others to come. Let's shout together and go elsewhere to toss."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw movement in one direction and squeezed the veil tightly.

"No, look, let's die a sensible person, don't you come now?"
