Soldiers come to the world

The two looked at each other for a while, Tao Zhan turned cold, and wanted to ignore him, but seeing his embarrassment, he couldn't help but 'Puchi! 'Laughed out loud, and the frost on his face disappeared.

She gave Liu Jing a blank look, "This is the land of female relatives, what are you doing here?"

Seeing her smile, Liu Jing felt a big stone fall from his heart. He scratched his head, "I was worried about you leaving, so I looked for you everywhere."

"Your words are wrong. First, if you are worried that I will leave, you should not look for me here, but go outside; second, what are you worried about when I leave?" Tao Zhan said with a half-smile look at him.

"From here to Hanshui Wharf, there are still more than ten miles of mountain roads, all in the wilderness, how can I let you go alone on the road."

Tao Zhan heard his words were sincere, he really cared about himself, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart, but she still put her hands behind her back, and said coquettishly: "I remember someone said that I want to socialize with the powerful, do I remember that? is it wrong?"

"Oh! Even if I said something wrong, I'm sorry."

Tao Zhan wanted to catch his words again, what does "even if" mean, but after a second thought, he felt that his sincerity was good, so he decided to give him some face.

"Forget it! For the sake of a certain person's conscience, I won't argue with him."

Tao Zhan rolled his eyes, glanced at him again, pursed his lips and asked with a smile, "Did that work succeed?"

Liu Jing patted his forehead and said happily: "I almost failed. Fortunately, I persuaded Kong Ming by finding Mr. Kuai. It can be seen that he also likes Miss Huang. It's just that he can't let go of face and is very annoyed with us."

"Of course I'm annoyed, how can I propose marriage for others like this."

Tao Zhan's eyes were mischievous again, and he covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Someday I will dress up as you and propose to the Cai family. Didn't you say that Master Cai wants to betroth his niece to you? Maybe you are a perfect match , How about it, is Liu Junhou willing?"

Liu Jing was in a good mood, and joked, "You can't pretend to be me, my figure is too far off, and besides, if I go to see the niece of Cai's family, someone will be furious again..."

"You have a good idea, do you think I will be angry? Don't dream, the girl has not appeared yet!"

Tao Zhan was complacent, her beautiful eyes were full of joy, the sadness just now had been swept away, she glanced at Liu Jing again, and asked with a smile: "I think of one thing, I will go back to Chaisang the day after tomorrow, Didn't you promise my uncle to attend my grandfather's birthday? Should you go with me or go alone. "

"I will definitely go, but I don't know if I can go with you."

After pondering for a while, Liu Jing said again: "I want to invite Xu Shu to go with me, do you find it convenient?"

"Of course you are welcome."

The two of them walked slowly among the crabapple flowers side by side, neither of them spoke anymore, and felt the beauty of "Silence is better than sound at this time" with their hearts.

Liu Jing picked a crabapple with a few buds and handed it to Tao Zhan, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the flowers will fall asleep late at night, so I burned high candles to illuminate the red makeup."

Tao Zhan took the flower branch and savored these two poems carefully. It turned out to be so appropriate and so profound. She was surprised and asked in a low voice, "You wrote this?"

Liu Jing smiled and said nothing, how could he write such a poem.

The two circled around Haitang for a few times. At this moment, a melodious bell sounded from the front yard, which was to notify the guests to take their seats. Other flower-appreciators in the Begonia Garden walked to the front yard one after another.

"Let's go too!"

Tao Zhan said softly, "You haven't eaten since noon, you must be starving."

With a beautiful woman by his side, Liu Jing really didn't feel hungry. As soon as Tao Zhan reminded him, Liu Jing suddenly felt unbearably hungry, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"After your reminder, I found that I was almost too hungry to walk."

Tao Zhan rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Then you still want to find me, because you are afraid that you will starve to death if you go halfway."

Liu Jing hesitated, "If you still want to enjoy the flowers, I will accompany you for a while."

Tao Zhan smiled, "What a fool, let's go!"

Tao Zhan gave him a tug, and the two left the Begonia Garden and walked quickly to the main hall.

. . . . . .

Most of the buildings in the Qin and Han Dynasties are magnificent, spacious and magnificent, and even the main halls of famous families are spacious and spacious, quite imposing.

The main hall of Huang’s family covers an area of ​​seven or eight acres. It consists of the main hall and two side halls. The main hall can accommodate 300 people for dining, and the two side halls can also accommodate [-] people. Today’s guests and their families total more than [-] people. It happened that three halls were filled.

The main hall is mainly for senior Jingzhou officials and famous families, while the side halls are for Jingzhou celebrities and their children, and some low-level officials also sit in the side halls.

The seats in the main hall are very particular. There are strict rules for everyone's grade and status, and the seat they sit in. There are name tags on the seats, and guests need to be seated one by one.

Today's Huang family treat is a family banquet. The biggest difference between a family banquet and an official banquet is that the family banquet is a two-person couch, where the husband and wife sit together.

In official banquets, officials usually sit on one side, and family members sit on the other side. Relatively speaking, family banquets are much more casual.

In addition to the strict rules for the seats in the main hall, there are no rules in the side halls on both sides, and you can sit at will. This is also because it is difficult to distinguish their status, so the guests simply sit in a free combination.

Liu Jing and Tao Zhan entered the hall on the left, most of the guests were already seated in the side hall, and everyone was whispering, making the hall noisy.

"Master Jing, Miss Tao, this way!"

Someone was calling them, Liu Jing turned around and saw Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping, sitting in the last row on the east side, and there was an empty seat next to them.

Liu Jing led Tao Zhan over happily, "Why are the two brothers sitting here?"

Xu Shu smiled slightly, "Sitting in the back is quiet and comfortable, there are not many seats, so I can only trouble the two of you to sit together."

Liu Jing saw that there was a double couch next to him, so he sat down with a smile, and glanced at Tao Zhan, implying that she would also sit down. , there are other men beside her, so of course she won't sit there.

Tao Zhan saw that many seats were shared by men and women, so he reluctantly sat down beside Liu Jing.

But as soon as they sat down, they realized something was wrong. Most of the men and women sitting together seemed to be husband and wife. How could they sit together like this? Tao Zhan was embarrassed and hurried to get up, but Liu Jing grabbed her by the wrist , making her unable to get up.

Tao Zhan was ashamed in his heart, how could he be so rude and forced himself to sit with him, she flipped her hand, and her long nails pierced into the back of his hand, Liu Jing was in pain, but forced to smile and talk to Xu Shu Talk, "Do you want Pang Shiyuan to come over today?"

"Should have come! I saw him just now, it seems that he was with his brother Shanmin."

After a while, Tao Zhan slowly loosened his nails and gave him a hard look. However, she didn't get up and leave again, as if no one else took them seriously, and the embarrassment on her face naturally disappeared.

After thinking about it, I still felt a little embarrassed, and whispered to him: "Let me tell you first! Later, Yueying may let me sit with her, so I won't sit here."

Liu Jing gently stroked the back of his hand that was sore from the nails and said with a smile: "Today is a big day, of course I have to sit with Kong Ming."

"Impossible, people who are engaged, how can they sit together again."

While talking, Tao Zhan's pretty eyes fell on the back of Liu Jing's hand, seeing a red and deep nail print on the back of his hand, he couldn't help but secretly regret it, if someone looked at it, he would know it was him What did you do?Will you say anything nonsense.

At this moment, Tao Zhan suddenly saw Huang She not far away. He squinted and stared at him coldly. Tao Zhan suddenly became nervous, why did he meet him here.

"Young Master Jing, why don't we go to the hall on the right side!"

Liu Jing was startled, he followed Tao Zhan's gaze, and saw Huang She, he didn't know Huang She, but seeing this man's eyes were cold, staring at Tao Zhan without blinking, Liu Jing suddenly became annoyed .

"Who is this person?"

"He is Huang She, the son of Huang Zu."

It turned out to be him, Liu Jing remembered that he killed Huang Zu's nephew, at this moment, he remembered something again, as if Little Baozi said that Tao Zhan's mother was Huang Zu's younger sister.

"Is he your cousin?"

Tao Zhan shook his head, "My mother is just a concubine of the Huang family, separated from them by several generations, even my great-grandfather is different."

After a pause, Tao Zhan whispered again: "This Huang She's brother is called Huang Yong. He is very vicious and domineering. He comes to look for me all day long. I don't see him, so he stays at Tao's house and hurts our housekeeper. , my father didn't dare to offend me, so he had to send me to my aunt's house in Jiangdong to hide, Mr. Jing, it seems that your second brother is here, let's change places!"

Liu Jing also saw that the seats behind Huang She were Liu Cong and Cai Shaoyu. Liu Cong was also staring at this side, but his eyes were full of passion and greed.

Liu Jing sneered, "We'll just sit here and not change!"

At this time, a sound of cloud board sounded, and groups of maids came out carrying wine, vegetables and fruit pulp. In the open space in the middle of the lobby, several beautiful dancers were dancing, and the music was bursting. These maids, dancers Ji and the musicians were invited by the Huang family from Fancheng, and even the food and drinks were prepared by several big taverns, and the preparations were very sumptuous.

With Liu Jing's resolute attitude, Tao Zhan also felt a little relieved, and ignored Huang She and Liu Cong. At this time, if she felt something, when she turned around, she saw Cai Shaoyu appeared in front of her holding a cup of fruit syrup, with a smile on her face. There was a sour smile, but there was also a kind of contempt that couldn't be concealed in the smile.

"Miss Tao, long time no see."

Cai Shaoyu quickly glanced at Liu Jing again, secretly annoyed in his heart, he didn't like himself, so he fell in love with this woman.

She also admitted that Tao Zhan was beautiful, but this person is the daughter of a merchant, can she compare with herself?She was ashamed to be unworthy of carrying her own shoes.

But Liu Jing drank slowly without raising his eyelids, as if he didn't feel Cai Shaoyu's arrival at all.

Tao Zhan couldn't be as cold and arrogant as Liu Jing, she picked up the cup and stood up, smiling and said: "The last time we met was at Wangjiang Tavern during the New Year."

Cai Shaoyu smiled hypocritically: "Miss Tao has a good memory. I can't find anyone to talk to here. I'm so bored. Can Miss Tao sit with me and talk to me?"

Before Tao Zhan could speak, Liu Jing sneered and said, "There is such a stupid woman in the world who is sold and counts the money for others."

Cai Shaoyu's expression changed, "Liu Jing, what are you talking about?"

Tao Zhan quickly smoothed things over: "Mr. Jing is not talking about the girl, I'm sorry, I feel a little unwell, so I won't go there, and I will chat with the girl another day."

Cai Shaoyu touched two nails, one hard and one soft, but she couldn't hold back her face. She didn't dare to offend Liu Jing, so she vented her anger on Tao Zhan, and said with a low face, "Yes! There are people who are lowly in status and are not worthy to be with you. I'm in a relationship, and I'm really cheap, to condescend to invite a businessman's daughter to sit with me, if word spreads, people will die of laughter."

Tao Zhan's face suddenly turned red, she bit her lips tightly, and her eyes were full of humiliated anger. She took a deep breath, restrained her anger, and said calmly, "Miss Cai, it's enough for you to insult me. I don't want to say anything more to you, so let's go!"

Cai Shaoyu took a sneak look at Liu Jing, seeing that he still ignored him, as if she didn't know anything, she became even more angry, and glared at Tao Zhan viciously, "I won't leave, I will insult you, how about it? "

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly turned his head and stared at Cai Shaoyu coldly.

"roll!"
