Chapter 290 Calculation
Coincidentally, the place where Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi hid was next to the dining room in the mansion, and now it was the old lady next to Le Qianqian and a maid in the kitchen.

The old mother looked around for a few times, then took out a wine jug from her arms and handed it to the maid.

"This is called Jiuqu Yinyang Pot. Press and hold the green bead to pour out good wine, and press and hold the red bead to pour out drugged wine. You must remember that when pouring wine for Mr. Li, hold down the red bead .”

"Good mother." The maid carefully took the jug and said worriedly, "It's that Mr. Li, I don't quite recognize it."

"Mr. Li has an outstanding appearance and is of Central Plains blood. Anyone with a discerning eye can recognize it at a glance. If you have no idea, go to the garden and ask the second lady secretly."

"Yes, Mammy."

"Go, as long as the matter is settled, the madam will not only return the deed of sale to you, but also give you another 200 taels of silver, and you will have a good life in the future."

"Madam and Second Miss, please rest assured that the servants will be safe."

After saying a few words, the two left separately.

Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi hid behind the rockery and listened to everything they said.

"Co-author Le Qianqian fell in love with Mr. Li, and plans to use this trick to catch this wealthy son-in-law?" Xiao Zhixi asked in surprise.

"Otherwise?" Xiao Zhilan rolled her eyes, "Do you think Xiao Shulan has hidden so many love potions, what are you using them for?"

"That's right." Xiao Zhixi scratched her oily little fat face, "It seems that this method is really overused, maybe Le Sisi is also thinking about it."

"It must be." Xiao Zhilan frowned in distress.

Xiao Zhixi anxiously said: "Then what should I do? After a banquet, if several couples are caught on the bed, they should not be suspicious? They are not animals, and they can be in heat together?"
After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhilan said: "Then find a way to interfere with their good business, go, and go to the dining room to have a look."

The two of them came out from a remote place while talking, and went to the dining room.

The women's and men's seats are separated. If you want to tamper with people, you just use things like the Jiuqu Yinyang Pot. This kind of thing doesn't exist in the west, so it's hard to guard against.

So Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi went to the dining room. In front of Le Qianqian, they were ordered by her like maidservants. It was not the first time they came here. In addition, there was a busy banquet in the mansion, and no one was there. Take care of them.

So the two quickly found two "jiuqu yin and yang pots" in two remote corners, and quickly poured out the wine inside without thinking about it, and replaced it with ordinary wine.

After finishing these, the two bought another reliable maidservant, handed her the medicine bag in her hand, and asked her to give medicine to the Kang family's heirs and the Fen family's heirs.

Didn’t Second Master Fen and Third Master Kang despise them? Even so, they still have to marry into their family, and become their wives.

After Zhang Luo settled everything, the two went to the flower hall.

At the moment in the flower hall, Le Peiyan was greeting a group of male guests, drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting, to Xiao Wenzhao, he said "brother", with such affection, those who didn't know thought they were brothers.

Xiao Wenzhao knew that Le Peiyan was using him, but there was nothing he could do.

If he speaks out about Xiao Shulan's shameful actions in Qiganling at this moment, it will only make him look like a fool. After all, that's what Xiao Shulan did, and it has nothing to do with Le Peiyan.

Besides, how can a majestic seven-foot man be as knowledgeable as a woman? If there is a large crowd, he will only appear to be small, so Le Peiyan called him brother, Xiao Wenzhao just smiled and didn't respond, and he never called Le Peiyan A brother-in-law.

However, anyone who knows Xiao Wenzhao knows that his attitude is cold and alienated. It seems that the relationship between Lezhou Mu and Xiao Junshou is not as close as it seems on the surface.

Especially Yu Chixiu, who looked at Le Peiyan calmly, full of suspicion.

In my mind, I couldn't help but think of what Xiao Ningxue once said to him: These Beijing officials are not like my uncle, they treat people from the west as their own brothers. what do you want!
That's right, the court sent Lezhou Mu here, what exactly do you want?
Could it be that the imperial court did not trust them and sent such an official to monitor or control them?
Leaving others aside, Yu Chixiu might not have much trust in Le Peiyan anyway.

After chatting for half an hour, the butler of the mansion came in to report and said that the banquet could be held.

So soon, the guests of honor sat down separately, and the women and men sat in the flower hall together, separated by a curtain in the middle.

There are long tables, and the guests sit cross-legged on the side. There are many people, and the flower hall is not big enough, so the seats are quite compact.

Li Jing and Gongsun Yu are next to each other, and then there are Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi's two 'targets', the elder sons of the Kang family and the elder sons of the Fen family, and then there are Yuchi Yuanbai and Hu Yanmin.

After Le Peiyan said a few opening remarks, the banquet officially started, and the maidservants began to serve the dishes in an endless stream.

The dishes include braised pork, steamed fish, and white-cut chicken, which are Central Plains dishes, as well as hand-caught mutton, which is a favorite of Westerners.

In this kind of west, chicken and pork are rare. This kind of ingredients are all transported from the Central Plains in winter, and then kept fresh in the ice cellar. One can imagine how expensive the price is. It can be seen that for this feast, Le Pei Yan also spent a lot of thought.

It's a pity that there is a language barrier, and the atmosphere is not necessarily very warm.

If it were in the capital of the Central Plains, it would be possible to let the ladies perform their talents to arouse the atmosphere, but the girls in the west don't understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at all, so this item was cancelled.

If it wasn't for Xiao Wenzhao's ability to adjust the atmosphere, he would joke with those lords who don't understand the Central Plains dialect from time to time, it would be even more boring.

And Le Qianqian and Le Sisi stared at Li Jing's figure behind the curtain, waiting for him to drink the drugged wine and leave the banquet.

It's a pity that I waited and waited, but I just couldn't see him leaving.

Even Gongsun Yu was sitting still, and Le Sisi was in a hurry. To be on the safe side, she not only asked the servant girl who served the dishes to prescribe medicine to Li Jing, but also to Gongsun Yu. If Li Jing failed, marry him. It can also be given to Gongsun Yu.

However, seeing that the banquet was about to end, there was still no movement over there, which made people extremely anxious.

Just when the two of them were fidgeting, suddenly Xiao Zhilan's mother, Sun Shi, and Xiao Zhixi's mother, Li Shi, patted their thighs outside and began to cry.

"Brother-in-law Peiyan, brother Wenzhao, you have to make decisions for Zhilan and Zhixi, they have been humiliated."

Le Qianqian and Le Sisi were dumbfounded, and they were all focused on the men's seat, and they didn't notice when Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi left the seat at all.

And Mrs. Sun's crying immediately caused quite a commotion among the people at the banquet, and everyone whispered to each other.
