At this moment, he only felt a burning gaze clinging to him.

It made him feel uncomfortable.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed twice:
  "Have you seen enough?"

"No."

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Chuchu was stunned, and she touched her nose awkwardly.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could he see it or not?
  Jingchu rarely heard anyone compliment his appearance.

When I suddenly heard this, my ears turned red unconsciously.

"I mean, aren't you cold here?"

Zhong Chuchu tried hard to find a topic, just wanting to avoid the embarrassment just now.

"Are you here for the banquet too?"

"Do you know how to get there?"

She said a lot, but Jingchu still sat beside her and didn't respond.

"I mean, if you want to go, can we come together?"

Her voice gradually became quieter:

"I'm probably lost..."

When Jing Chu heard the grievance in the woman's tone, he couldn't help but picture a woman pouting in anger.

After waiting for a while, Zhong Chuchu couldn't wait any longer. The banquet was probably about to start, so she stood up and prepared to leave.

"You'd better go back quickly, don't catch a cold!"

Somehow, he exuded a cool aura, and before he knew it, he was already being rejected thousands of miles away.

Zhong Chuchu turned her head and took one last look at him, but only saw a feeling of loneliness.

It's like being out of tune with this world.

At this moment, she seemed to see her own shadow in him.

"Exit the front door, follow the path to the end, and turn right."

Jingchu's voice was still cold.

"thanks!"

Zhong Chuchu smiled and thanked her.

He turned back and put a piece of chocolate into his hand.

"Thank you."

Lu Mansion Banquet Hall.

She followed the path pointed by Jing Chu and arrived here smoothly.

Song Yan had already arrived. When he saw her, he waved to her quickly.

She smiled gently and looked at the entire banquet.

This winter feast is held in the open air.

The venue was in the huge back garden of Lu Mansion.

At this time of year, there are actually many flowers blooming.

A huge vermilion carpet was spread in the middle of the garden, and the carpet was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, which was extremely exquisite.

In addition to the chairman at the north end, there are several guest seats on the left and right, obviously reserved for guests.

Men and women sit separately.

The men sit on the left side, and the women all sit on the right side.

Song Yan was already sitting in the guest seat in the last row on the left.

Wearing a green gown and having a handsome face, he attracted the attention of many little girls.

She looked around and found that Mo Yu was here too and was sitting on the front row of guest seats on the left.

Wearing a silver fox fur coat, the fur exuded a jade-like luster, making him look very dazzling.

Mo Yu's gaze suddenly came over and fell on Zhong Chuchu.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an unknown smile.

Song Yan was just about to come over and ask her why she was late, but she only heard the boy say from a distance: "Magistrate Lu is here."

He had no choice but to give up and quickly returned to his seat.

Zhong Chuchu also found a place to sit down.

Turning around, I saw the end of the long corridor. Magistrate Lu stood at the front, followed by the magistrate's wife and his youngest daughter Lu Ruyi, and at the end were a group of servants and maids.

Mrs. Lu wore her hair in a high bun with a golden plum blossom hairpin, and looked dignified.

Zhong Chuchu sighed softly in her heart.

Mrs. Lu took good care of her face, and there was no trace of time left on her face at all.

Magistrate Lu arrived at the banquet hall and sat down with Mrs. Lu with a smile on his face.

Everyone present stood up and saluted.

This is the head of Yuyang County, and none of them dare to neglect him.

Zhong Chuchu saw Magistrate Lu smiling and nodding to everyone, as approachable as an old man next door.

"We in Yuyang County have held this winter banquet for three years!"

He opened his mouth and said:
  "This is to give everyone the opportunity to get together here, so don't feel restrained and just act as usual!"

Everyone present agreed.

But no one really treats it as an ordinary banquet.

All of you here are prominent figures in Yuyang County.

This winter banquet was, to put it bluntly, a donation meeting organized by County Magistrate Lu.

Every year at the winter banquet, everyone takes the initiative to donate some items.

These items will be converted into silver and used to relieve disaster victims or the poor.

In order to increase everyone's enthusiasm, Magistrate Lu even set up a lottery.

The person who donates the highest value each year will be exempted from all taxes in the coming year!
  Not only are there these substantial rewards, but more importantly, you can have a good relationship with Magistrate Lu!
  Even if we put all this aside, who can have the power to gather all the prominent people in Yuyang County?

All those who are doing business are thinking that as long as they make friends with one or two powerful people at this banquet, they can take off right where they are!

The young gentleman and the girl can take this opportunity to look at each other.

It's not easy to get an opportunity to show yourself, but you have to seize it.

Therefore, this banquet where everyone gets what he needs lasts for three years.

After everyone was seated, dancers filed out from behind the pavilion.

The enchanting dance made everyone mesmerized.

She sat in the last row on the right, surrounded by people she didn't know.

After a dance song was performed, I was full of curiosity from the beginning.

She was so listless at the end that she really regretted accepting the invitation.

When he was half drunk, Magistrate Lu suddenly clapped his hands and said:

"Thank you for your support of today's banquet."

"The day before yesterday, I accidentally found a musician with superb piano skills. Let's ask her to play a song for everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a young girl sitting in the pavilion. She was wearing a bright red gauze dress, a fox fur of the same color, and a veil on her face.

She bowed respectfully to the guests and began to play.

Her music is melodious and melodious, like a splashing waterfall from a high mountain. Sometimes it is magnificent, and sometimes it is like big and small beads falling on a jade plate.

The beep-dick-dong-dong knocks on people’s hearts, making them unable to remain unmoved...

When the song ended, everyone was still unfinished.

After a while, everyone applauded again.

"The violinist that Magistrate Lu is looking for is really a master of piano at such a young age!"

Someone who knew music touched his palms and praised.

Magistrate Lu smiled, his face full of approval.

Mrs. Lu raised her lips and said:

"Since everyone likes to listen, let's play another song to add excitement to the following activities!"

"Everyone has already participated in this winter banquet, so please register your donations to the servant behind you!"

"On behalf of the people of Yuyang County, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone!"

Magistrate Lu stood up, clasped his fists and bowed personally to the guests.

Everyone stood up and returned the courtesy.

No one dared to really accept this gift.

Zhong Chuchu secretly took a look at Mo Yu who was sitting next to the county magistrate.

He was holding a wine flask in one hand, filling himself up with a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
