Princess Feng Qinghua is a rich man

Chapter 372: The Beginning of the Banquet
Whether it's the recent reputation or the uproar every time he goes to the Hou's Mansion, anyway, Mu Huaqi's coming to Xuanhu Hou's Mansion at this time is no longer as non-existent as it was the first time.

Naturally, in order not to meet Nangong Han alone, Mu Huaqi asked Yao Xin to slow down the car.

As soon as the carriage party arrived at the gate, the butler who was there to welcome the guests led a group of people forward, all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Welcome Miss Qi!"

Make her speechless.

This battle, to be honest, is too exaggerated.Fortunately, she was wise enough to come so early, and there were not many guests around, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to go out like this.

Shuiyu's face was confused, "When did this Xuanhuhou's mansion become so enthusiastic?"

Junyi spread her hands helplessly, and joked, "Since our master appeared."

In exchange, Mu Huaqi rolled her eyes.

Yao Xin gave a big praise in his heart, as expected of the honorable lord, even the indifferent attitude of the Marquis of Xuanhu Mansion towards her, unexpectedly they are so enthusiastic towards her.

In order not to attract more people's attention, Mu Huaqi had no choice but to get out of the carriage first, "Get up."

Then she shouted again, "Thank you Miss Qi!" The corners of her mouth twitched.

After those people stood up, they all retreated to both sides, leaving a path in the middle for her. She felt that this welcome gift from Xuan Huyi's house was a bit heavy.

She couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, someone showed up in time to clear the siege, otherwise, under the strange stares of those guests in twos and threes, she really wasn't sure if she would have used lightness kung fu to fly directly to Xuanhuyi's Lanxi Garden.

"Qi'er is here? Why don't you let someone come to inform you in advance, so that my aunt can let someone out to greet you." Mrs. Xuan Huhou was half-supporting a hand by a maid beside her, and behind her was a group of nobles from unknown families. Miss Madam, she looks very stylish.But Xu Shi had never put on such a pretentious gesture before, and Mu Huaqi could see that she was a little unnatural.

As for what she said about having someone come out to greet her, she couldn't handle it just by looking at this "casual" posture. If a group of people came here on a special trip, the scene would be too simple.

He took a few steps forward, squatted down and made a standard salute, "I've seen my aunt, I've seen all the ladies."

With her standard etiquette, the people in front didn't notice anything, but the eyes of the three who followed her widened one after another.

Who can tell them that this white-clothed woman who is dressed in a standard aristocratic family etiquette is really the one they know?

But the surprise was the surprise, the master saluted, and they couldn't stand still, so they also followed a standard salute. Naturally, no matter who they were, the three of them would not kneel down to these people in front of them.

Seeing her salute, Mrs. Xuan Huhou hurriedly took out the hand that was placed in the maidservant's palm, and quickly stepped forward to support her, "Seeing that my aunt pays so much courtesy, don't you mean to think that my aunt is an outsider?"

But in fact, even though she said that, she was happy for Mu Huaqi in her heart. She was so polite and considerate, so demeanor, how could she tell that she was a concubine who lost her mother since childhood.Over the years, she has raised herself well.It was her aunt who, seeing her, would always think of her younger sister who died young, so as time passed, she gradually became estranged, which made her live such a hard life.

"All these years, it's my aunt who has been sorry for you."

As tears were about to fall, Mu Huaqi hurriedly patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "Auntie doesn't need to be like this. After all, it's inconvenient for you to interfere with Mu Hua's family, so there's nothing wrong with me. , I have been taken care of by my cousin all these years, I should be the one to thank you."

For Mrs. Xuanhuhou, she really can't say whether she has any complaints or not.If there is no Xuan Huyi, even if there is this title of "aunt", she would not treat her as a family member, so what is there to talk about?
She had never been the kind of person who would live off others.

But this time she said this, Mu Huaqi felt a little relieved.Regardless of whether the original owner's mother, Liu Shi, is her biological mother or not, she has truly loved her. As the only family member of the Liu family, Madam Xuan Huhou will naturally treat her as a relative, not to mention she is Xuan Huyi's mother .

Seeing her mentioning Xuan Huyi, Mrs. Xuan Huhou thought of the relationship between the two of them, so she held back her tears and nodded in relief, "Your cousins ​​can take care of each other, so my aunt can rest assured."

The fact that she rescued Xuan Huyi several times was no secret in the entire Hou Mansion.Besides, she has such abilities, Madam Xuan Huhou has nothing to worry about.

After confirming that she was no longer crying, Mu Huaqi turned her attention to the woman standing on the other side of her.

The woman didn't drag a long skirt and comb her beautiful hair like other ladies from aristocratic families, but had tall hair, tights and boots, very similar to the horse riding outfit of this era.Dressing up like this is actually a bit rude at such a banquet, but even with such a bold posture, she can still be pleasing to the eye and can't find any faults. In this world, she is probably the only one.

"Princess Li, it's a pleasure to meet you." It was a sassy Jianghu ceremony.

Lin Jieli raised her eyebrows at her, which was also a standard Jianghu etiquette, "Miss Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you. Speaking of which, this princess should also thank you for your proposal that day, if not..."

Mu Huaqi smiled, and interrupted: "Princess, you don't have to be polite, if it's not that person, I wouldn't meddle in that business."

Hearing this, Lin Jieli was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.That's right, if she hadn't been really pleasing to the eye, how could Mu Huaqi, as the Lord of Moxie Pavilion, meddle in such nosy matters?
But anyway, she is very grateful to her.If it wasn't for the wake-up call she made at the beginning, she wouldn't have such a good relationship with Mrs. Xuan Huhou now, and she wouldn't have such a fast progress with Xuan Huyi.At least currently in Xuanhuhou Mansion, everyone else knows that she is Xuanhuyi's sweetheart, although Xuanhuyi's stinky temperament has never admitted it.

However, if he really didn't have that kind of heart, how could Mu Huaqi intervene?
Thinking of this, she laughed silently again.

In any case, it is a happy thing to be able to go further with Xuan Huyi.

Mrs. Xuan Huhou was also happy to see that they could chat well. "Okay, you young people can wander around the mansion at will. Li Li and Ruo'er greet you, and I and the other wives will not bother you."

When the other wives heard her calling Nanjiang Princess so affectionately, they suppressed their surprise and agreed.

After they walked away, the other ladies present dared to look at Mu Huaqi seriously.It turned out that this was the concubine daughter of Mu Hua's family who was favored by His Royal Highness King Xiu, and her reputation almost doubled in a short period of time.Although there were a few timid ones who didn't dare to stare at her directly, there were also quite a few brave ones.

Mu Huaqi didn't point it out, she just stood there and let them look at her.On the other hand, Xuan Huruo who was next to him was very angry.

Cousin Qi is someone whose father, mother, and even brother would not dare to treat her like this easily. What qualifications do these people have?
Taking two steps forward, he squatted down and saluted, "Cousin Qi is well. Mother and all the wives were present earlier, if my son failed to salute my cousin, I hope she is not to blame."

Although Xuan Huruo is a concubine, she is the only lady in the Hou Mansion, and the mistress and elder brother treat her very well, so her status among the ladies of these families is no worse than others, and there are even many people who deliberately try to curry favor with her. .So seeing her treat Mu Huaqi with such an attitude, while others were surprised, they also regretted it.

So they saluted one by one, "Miss Qi is well."

It can be said that Mu Huaqi received this gift for the first time, and she was a little flattered.

Think how good her character must be if a concubine with no status can get so many ladies from aristocratic families, and most of them are from aristocratic families to salute her?

Looking at her master's appearance of wanting to be embarrassed but having to hold back, Jun Yi stroked her forehead silently.

Sure enough, the more you are promoted, the more you will be frightened, which is the style of your master.

However, no matter what she thinks in her heart at the moment, Mu Huaqi also knows that she is still a concubine in her current status, she deserves this gift, but she has to pay it back.

She also has to respect this era, right?Although she often doesn't take the norms of this era very seriously.

Return a salute, "Good morning ladies."

In fact, she didn't know any of these people.

Lin Jieli, who was nearby, saw her so solemnly returning the gift, and "tsk tsk" in her heart.Who can believe that this harmless-looking woman in front of her is actually the leader of the killer organization rumored to kill without batting an eyelid, Mo Xiaoyu, the lord of the Moxie Pavilion?If she hadn't seen that scene at the banquet in the palace that day, she would not have believed it.

"Sister Qi! Sister Qi!" Everyone looked at the source of the voice, and saw a carriage slowly approaching, and one person was pushing his head and arms out of the window, shouting at her.

But he was dragged in by someone in just a moment, "I told you not to stick your head out like this, what if it falls?" This scolding, although it is scolding, but the deep pampering is hidden. I can't hide it either.

"Oh, I see. It won't be like this next time. Am I happy to see sister Qi? Don't be angry, okay?"

"Forget it this time, if there is another time, I will send you back directly."

"Don't, don't, don't... I finally came out once, don't send me back, I'll listen to you."

Mu Huaqi secretly supported her forehead, this way of getting along, there will be no one else except Xi Qianhuan and Xi Xiaozhi.

"Huan, I listen to you, don't send me back, okay? Okay?"

"Okay, let's get out of the carriage first." Xi Xiaozhi ordered, jumping off the carriage with cheers.

Xi Qianhuan looked at his back, and sighed silently with deep helplessness, "This guarantee is only worth two days." Whenever you make a mistake, you promise it, and then make it again within a few days, but it happens There is no way to take him.

Forget it, let him go, as long as he is happy.

"Sister Qi, I heard that you went to Zhushan some time ago, why didn't you invite me to go with you, I haven't been to Zhushan yet!" As he said that, he was about to go to grab her sleeve, but someone pulled her away. went back.

Looking funnyly at Xi Qianhuan, who wanted to get angry but was reluctant, Mu Huaqi slowly picked up Xi Xiaozhi's words, "The last time I went to do business, I will take you with me when I have a chance next time, how about it?"

Xi Xiaozhi couldn't get rid of Xi Qianhuan, so he was too lazy to make any effort, "Then you have to remember, and you must not go back on your word when the time comes!"

"I will never go back on my word. Besides, isn't your Jiahuan here? If I dare to go back on my word, how could he let me go?"

Xi Xiaozhi snorted arrogantly, "That's true, Huan's martial arts is so high, if you go back on your word at that time, you will definitely be beaten all over the floor."

This bear boy.

"That Zhushan, have you really walked through it?" Xi Qianhuan said suddenly, with some uncertainty and worry.After all, Yixu's temperament, although he has not been in touch with it for many years, he has heard a lot about it.

He wasn't joking. Although Mu Huaqi smiled lightly, she should be serious, "Well, there are some connections in the early years."

This answer, not to mention the people present, even Xi Qianhuan was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered, "I don't know what good things you did in your previous life."

What good deeds did you do in your previous life?That's a lot, make money, support a family.

The occasion was not right, Mu Huaqi didn't want to linger on this topic, so she asked: "It's so early, according to your usual style, not to mention coming so early, even if you don't want to participate in this kind of banquet, how come today?" So abnormal?"

"Hmph! Do you think I want to? Didn't I hear that someone is coming, and Xiaozhi is clamoring to follow him!"

Mu Huaqi understood.

The young master of the Xi family will never refuse any request from the young master of the Xi family.

"Since you're here, it's not a big deal to hang out with us like this. Let's go and see Xuan Huyi first. If we miss this time, we don't know when we will be able to see his jokes."

Hearing this, Xi Qian showed such an expression.

"Ruo'er, take us to find your brother."

Xuan Huruo was in shock.These two people in front of you are the two young masters of Xiyang family, right?The eldest son of the Xi family is rumored to be vigorous and vigorous. Since taking over the Xi family, the business has grown bigger and bigger. Even though the Xi family is a businessman in Qiyang, it is already an existence that even the emperor of Xiyang dare not easily offend.The eldest son of the Xi family is arrogant, let alone in Lingcheng, the Three Kingdoms and even Fengcheng, he has never heard of anyone who can make friends with him, but seeing him talk to Cousin Qi this time, it is not a day or two There can be friendship.

"Joe?"

"Ah? Oh, Cousin Qi, you call me?"

Mu Huaqi knew what she was thinking, but didn't point it out, and said with a light smile, "Well, since the young master of the Xi family is here, I should go and see your brother first."

Xi Qianhuan didn't care about her rhetoric.The purpose of his coming here is not for the banquet, and he doesn't care so much about seeing the master's family.

Except for Mu Huaqi's own people and Lin Jieli who had seen the young master of the Xi family get along with Mo Xiaoyu in Wuxi Town, everyone present was shocked even more than Xuan Huruo.

"Cousin is right, Ruo'er was rude, young master Xi and this young master please."

Xi Xiaozhi finally broke free from Xi Qianhuan's grasp, and dragged Mu Huaqi away, "Sister Qi, let's go!"

Seeing this situation, the eyes of Shuiyu who followed behind flickered again.If she was surprised by Ling Jiabo's attitude towards Ms. Qi before, she can only describe her feelings as shock when she saw the young master of the Xi family behave like this.

The crowd came to the back garden of the Hou Mansion in a mighty manner. As soon as they approached, they heard arguing from the pavilion not far away. Because there were many trees planted in the garden, the dense branches and leaves covered the crowd and they couldn't see clearly. Who is in dispute.

"What are you doing here at Ben Xiaohou's house? Are you looking for trouble?"

"Hmph! You think the Patriarch is happy! If it wasn't for hearing that you were about to die, the Patriarch would be willing to make this trip? If you die, who will the Patriarch ask for the money owed to the Patriarch? You should take advantage of your life It’s time to pay back the money you owe!”

"Hey! Is your Nangong family going to lose? Are you reduced to collecting debts to make a living? But, did this Xiaohou ever owe you any money?"

"How dare you say no! If you hadn't been tricked by my master, I don't know how much I can sell for those few high-quality herbs!"

"Heh... I can blame this Xiaohou, but if you want to blame it, you are stupid and rich and haven't seen it yet."

"You want to fight, don't you?"

"Hit it! Whoever is afraid of him!"

As he spoke, he didn't know who made the move first, and after a while, he really used Qinggong to fight on the nearby lotus pond.

Hearing this, Mu Huaqi was secretly silent, this childish conversation, have they not grown up yet?
Xuan Huruo also heard his brother's voice, and was quite surprised.In her eyes, although her elder brother acts a little uninhibited, he is always mature and stable in front of his family. He has never seen such... er, such a lively side.

Compared to Xuan Huruo's accident, Lin Jieli didn't have a particularly big reaction.Speaking of which, when she first met Xuan Huyi, he was like this.At that time, he used the idea of ​​mother-like Gu in her hand, exhausted all kinds of tricks and abductions, and once even used the beauty trick, which made her refresh her understanding of him again.At that time, she even once asked herself, is this person in front of her who is so disregarding face only to achieve her own goals, really the rumored young master of Xuanhu who is one of the top ten sons of Daling and one of the top four? what?
However, after fighting more times, she gradually felt that his appearance was actually a bit cute.

She has raised the mother-like Gu since she was nine years old, and she has only raised one for so many years. In the end, she couldn't stand his various soft and hard things, and even if she didn't want to, she still gave it to him.For this reason, she regretted it more than once, but fortunately there is nothing serious now, otherwise she might never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Many people present were curious about the identity of the person who dared to fight with the young master in the Hou's mansion, but no one dared to ask easily.On the contrary, Xi Xiaozhi asked after looking around for a few times and seeing no one: "Huan, do you know who is fighting with that playboy over there?"

Everyone fell silent, Playboy?There are really not many people who dare to say that about the young Lord Xuanhu.

Xi Qianhuan rubbed his head, and said seriously, "Since you know that he is a playboy, why should you care about his affairs?"

Xi Xiaozhi thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, "You are right, that playboy is not a good person. But I am still very curious about who dares to fight him in his territory."

"If you want to know who it is, go over and have a look and you'll know." Mu Huaqi shook her head, this stubborn child looked at the helpless look on Young Master Xi's face.

Walking to the gazebo, seeing that "Brother Qi" sitting at the stone table leisurely sipping tea, Mu Huaqi suddenly realized.She had heard that the current Patriarch of the Nangong Family had a right-hand man named Qi You, but she forgot about it.

It's just that Nangong Han and Xuan Huyi are fighting fiercely, isn't he looking a bit too leisurely?
Seeing a group of them approaching, Qi You got up and said hello, "You are all polite."

As soon as Lin Jieli saw him, her expression became a little more solemn, "May I ask you, Mr. Qi from the Nangong family?"

"Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness still remembers me. It's really an honor for me."

Just last year, Lin Jieli and Xuan Huyi went to Dongchu together, and met Qi You once in the Nangong Family's auction house.

"Mr. is a popular person next to Patriarch Nangong. It's hard for the princess not to remember. Since sir is here, the person who fought with Xuan Huyi this time should be Patriarch Nangong. But I don't know that Patriarch Your Majesty is coming to the Hou Mansion at this time." Come, what is the purpose?"

Qi You continued to sit down and said with a light smile: "Princess, don't be nervous. Our Nangong family has never participated in the political affairs of other countries, and we also have a lot of business in Daling, so the battles between those countries have nothing to do with us. Then, the Patriarch came here this time only because he heard that the young master Xuanhu was seriously injured, and he was worried that he would not be able to get back the money he owed, so he came here to beg for it, and had no other intentions."

Everyone who heard the conversation between the two from a distance just now believed this statement.

However, after learning the identity of the person who came, there were indeed many people who began to whisper. After all, Dongchu and Daling are incompatible.

"The young master of the Xi family is here?" Qi You looked at Mu Huaqi who was standing next to Xi Qianhuan, seemingly absent.

Xi Qianhuan glanced at him, nodded and responded with a very cold "Yes."

But Qi You didn't feel that he had been slighted or anything else. The young master of the Xi family has always treated people like this. If he suddenly becomes enthusiastic about you, you should worry about whether he has some bad ideas again.

Focusing on Mu Huaqi, "Who is this?"
