The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 70 The old man let go of Jiu'er (1)
Lan Jiu didn't know the fat butler, but the fat butler knew Lan Jiu, because Master Hou had ordered that the protagonist of this banquet was Lan Jiu, and the purpose of holding this banquet was to celebrate Lan Jiu's entry into the Royal Academy.

Although the housekeeper looked down on Lan Jiu so much in the past, now he has to look at it differently. As long as a person enters the Royal Academy, he is half successful. After she graduates from the Royal Academy, she must be a great person.If you want to curry favor, you must take advantage of the present!
"Miss Jiu, your mother is already at the banquet, why didn't Master Lan Shi come?" The housekeeper approached Lan Jiu earnestly, first saluted Wu Xingyun respectfully, and then said to Lan Jiu.

"My brother has something to do and can't come." Lan Jiu replied perfunctorily and walked towards the mansion.

This time, the guards in front of the mansion didn't dare to stop them anymore, they quickly stood respectfully on both sides of Houmen, and solemnly looked at Lan Jiuxing.

"Mr. Wu, please too!" Seeing this, the butler didn't ask anymore, anyway, Lan Shi is a fool, it doesn't matter if he comes or not, as long as Lan Jiu comes!Seeing that Lan Jiu had already entered the Hou's mansion, the housekeeper hurriedly called Wu Xingyun into the mansion.

After Lan Jiu entered the mansion, he quickened his pace. In order to get to Man'er one step earlier, Lan Linghou put on such a big posture to make it clear that he was targeting himself and Man'er. Lan Jiu was worried that Man'er would not be able to handle it if he was too soft-tempered .

Lanlinghou's Mansion occupies a much larger area than Wumuhou's Mansion. Lan Jiu walked through a long bamboo forest path before arriving at the banquet venue. The banquet was held in the main hall in the middle of the Hou's Mansion. This hall is comparable to a royal palace. The white jade steps and vermilion doorposts are extremely luxurious.There are more than ten maids in red clothes lined up in front of the main hall, showing the unique noble demeanor of princes and nobles everywhere.

All the red-clothed maids were beautiful. When Lan Jiu came to the gate of the palace, the maids just glanced at her and then turned away their haughty eyes. In their eyes, Lan Jiu, who was wearing ripped clothes, was simply For a poor beggar, Lan Mansion is not the place she should come to at all.

But after these maids took a first look, they took a second look in surprise, because they saw Wu Xingyun.Wu Xingyun, dressed in white, came from the bamboo forest path. Against the backdrop of the green bamboo forest, he was the most perfect Prince Charming, as if he was stepping on a red cloud, which immediately made these maids blush and warm up, and many maids began to tidy up secretly. Clothes and hairstyle, so as to leave the best impression on Wu Xingyun.

"Jiumei, Mr. Wu, you are here." Lan Fei had already come out from the hall, she cast a contemptuous glance at the self-confident maid beside the door, then walked up to meet Lan Jiu and Wu Xingyun, and said with a cordial smile.

Seeing Lan Fei felt disgusted, Lan Jiu ignored her and walked directly into the hall.Seeing Lan Jiu ignoring her, Lan Fei was instantly furious, but she didn't explode, instead she went to Wu Xingyun and said, "Jiumei's temper is just a little weird."

"Well, my temper is also quite weird." Wu Xingyun smiled lightly, and walked past Lan Fei calmly, and from the beginning to the end, he just gave Lan Fei a casual glance.

Being ignored by the two of them one after another, Lan Fei was extremely angry. For today's banquet, Lan Fei specially dressed up for a long time. She wore a full suit and put on delicate makeup on her face, in order to attract Wu Xingyun's attention.After Lan Fei was repeatedly ignored and humiliated by Chang He, she had already given up on Chang He and set her sights on Wu Xingyun, but now that she was ignored by Wu Xingyun, Lan Fei's psychology was extremely hurt.

"Lan Jiu! Is it because of you? Wu Xingyun belongs to me, you can never get it!" Lan Fei looked at the back of Wu Xingyun following Lan Jiu into the hall, and the viciousness in his heart was like a colorful poisonous snake spit out deadly snake letters.The eyes she looked at Lan Jiu were even more evil like the eyes of a poisonous snake.

"Hahaha, Man'er, you have given birth to a pair of good children! Now that Lan Jiu can enter the Royal Academy is the glory of our Lan family, but I have another idea, Lan Jiu's name is too vulgar, how about changing it?" ?” As soon as Lan Jiu entered the hall, he heard a burst of unrestrained laughter.Looking up, he saw an old man in a purple robe standing in the most honored seat in the middle of the banquet, holding a wine glass and addressing all the guests in the hall.

This purple-robed old man is naturally Lanling Hou Lanxiang. Lanxiang, who is over seventy years old, has a very healthy body, a well-maintained face with fair skin, few wrinkles, deep eyes that seem to splash, and a valuable emerald on his waist. Duan Yudai, wearing an elegant jade ring on his hand, and his gray hair tied up with red jade, made him look rich and honorable.

What Lan Xiang said just now was naturally addressed to Man'er, but his eyes did not fall on Man'er, but looked at the guests in the hall with a smile.Obviously he looked down on Man'er, Man'er was just a little girl in the mansion before!A maidservant!
"Yes! What Master Hou said is right! The name Lan Jiu is really ugly!" Wang Hai, who was at the guest table, stood up first and smiled obsequiously.

"Lan Jiu is just a girl from a concubine, it's a great fortune to be loved by Master Hou!" The other guests also hurriedly stood up to flatter her.

These guests are all famous figures in Wu, and none of them are officials and nobles. Their approval of Lanlinghou's opinion is naturally very important to Man'er.

"Man'er, what do you think!" Seeing that everyone agreed with what he said, Lanlinghou couldn't help but feel happy, and looked at Man'er proudly and asked.

At this time, Man'er did not sit on the seat, but stood beside Lan Xiang, because when the Lanlinghou Mansion prepared the banquet, they did not prepare a seat for Man'er at all, and they felt that Man'er was also the son of Lanlinghou. Daughter-in-law, naturally she should serve her father-in-law standing up.

"I..." Seeing so many pairs of eyes looking at her in the hall, Man'er hesitated immediately, and was also very scared in her heart.The Lanlinghou's Mansion is very powerful, and these ministers at the banquet are not ordinary people, the three of them cannot afford to offend so many people!This banquet is obviously a Hongmen banquet, and all the distinguished guests are helping Lanlinghou to put pressure on Man'er.

Man'er's heart had already begun to shake.Moving back to the Hou's Mansion was just a little bit of anger, but if they violated Lanlinghou's wishes, would something happen to their mother three?
