Chapter 145
at dusk.
Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, on the spacious avenue, cars are like flowing water and horses are like dragons.
In order to make the princess's dinner more lively tonight, the city lord Meng Jinnan invited many nobles from Mocheng, as well as some members of the big family.
The members of the four major families and the meritorious family all sent representatives to the banquet with gifts.
On both sides of the door, stood two rows of armored soldiers.
Outside the four walls of Fuchu, there are guards of various warriors patrolling all the time
Under the gate steps.
Meng Jinnan’s younger brother Meng Beiwang greeted the guests in person with a smile on his face and a list in hand.
Each invited guest can only bring up to five family members to the banquet, and the name of each family member must be reported in advance.
A luxuriously decorated carriage stopped on the road not far away.
Immediately, Wang Lun, the Patriarch of the Wang family, strode forward with several brothers and family members, holding gifts.
Next.
Zhang Song, the head of the Luo family in Chengguo Mansion, Luo Yannian, and the head of the Song family, Song Fu, all came with their families.
At first, everyone was smiling and talking at the door, but after seeing Song Fu bringing his family over, the smiles on everyone's faces faded slightly, and their voices became much quieter.
The Song family had just passed away their son and daughter. Even on such a day, it was hard to laugh.
Sun Qiaoxiang, Song Fu's wife, is even more dull-faced.
Song Fu knew that tonight was not the time to be sad, when he saw the heads of other families at the door, he immediately smiled and quickened his pace.
Several old friends met each other, exchanged some pleasantries at the door, and then brought their family members into the mansion.
After a while.
The carriage of the Qin Mansion, Fang slowly turned in from the street not far away, and stopped on the side of the road.
Qin Wenzheng got out of the carriage first.
Immediately, Qin Chuan, the second son of the Qin family, jumped down lightly, and then went to help Song Ruyue down.
The last one to come down was an extremely weak and beautiful girl in a plain white dress.
The Qin family did not bring anyone else here today except for these people.
When Meng Beiwang saw them, he opened the list and took a look, then immediately went up to greet them, cupped his hands with a smile all over his face, and said, "Brother Wen Zheng is busy with work, so it's a bit late to come today."
Qin Wenzheng clasped his hands and said with a smile: "There are too many people on the road, so it took some time. Brother Beiwang came out to greet the guests in person today, which is a bit condescending."
Meng Beiwang laughed quickly and said, "Where is it? Today is the princess's banquet. If it wasn't for my elder brother who needed to accompany me to answer the questions, how could it be my turn to come here to welcome you distinguished guests?"
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Meng Bei looked at Fang with a smile on his face and glanced at the family members behind him. Seeing that there was no one else, Fang cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wen Zheng, please bear with me. For the safety of the Eldest Princess, my brother has orders. All the gifts brought by the guests tonight will be delivered to you." Take a look ahead."
Qin Wenzheng smiled and said, "It should."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said to Qin Chuan, "Chuan'er, bring the things here."
Qin Chuan immediately held a rectangular brocade box with both hands and handed it to him.
Qin Wenzheng opened the brocade box, put it in front of Meng Beiwang, and explained: "My mother got this jade ruyi from other places, and kept it at home. I came to visit the princess today, and I didn't have any other gifts, so I just took it away. It's here, let's talk about it."
Meng Bei took a look, nodded and said with a smile: "The color looks good, it's a good thing."
Then his eyes turned to the roll in the hand of the weak girl.
Qin Weimo raised his hand, handed the framed scroll to Qin Chuan, and said softly, "Second brother, these are some poems and paintings written by Weimo, show them to Uncle Meng."
Qin Chuan quickly took it, held it in both hands, and handed it to Meng Beiwang.
Meng Beiwang just glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Since it's poetry, calligraphy and painting, there's nothing to check, anyway, I can't understand it. Haha, brother Wenzheng, your little daughter looks like a talented girl at first glance, yes, good."
Qin Wenzheng resigned a few words, Fang took his family and went up the steps.
Song Ruyue supported her daughter.
Qin Chuan followed on the other side and kept an eye on it.
Just going up the steps, Qin Weimo blushed, panting, looking like she was about to fall at any time.
Song Ruyue not only reproached in a low voice: "Mother has already said, what are you doing on this occasion? Your precious poems, when the time comes, Mother will help you give it to the eldest princess. Why do you have to do it yourself? Come on, if you faint later, hey..."
Qin Weimo clenched the thing in his hand, but did not speak.
Qin Chuan on the side hurriedly comforted: "Mother, it's okay, I'm watching Wei Mo. Wei Mo stays at home all day and has never come out. It's not a bad thing to be able to come out this time to get some air. .”
Song Ruyue sighed again and did not speak again.
The servant led them into the spacious hall.
In the hall, members of other families were already drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Qin Wenzheng coming in, they all stood up and exchanged warm greetings.
The female relatives were taken to the next room.
Song Ruyue quickly found those ladies who often played together.
Several people quickly became one.
Qin Weimo sat quietly on a chair in the corner, holding the picture scroll full of poems tightly in his hand.
After greeting several young men he knew, Qin Chuan came to accompany her.
Song Ruyue was sitting by the side. Although she was chatting and joking with those ladies, she would glance at this place from time to time.
"Wei Mo, did you write all the poems on this scroll?"
Qin Chuan asked softly.
Qin Weimo smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Second Brother."
Qin Chuan stretched out his hand and smiled, "Second brother, can you take a look?"
Qin Weimo shook his head, and said softly: "Weimo will give it to the eldest princess later, and the second brother can't touch it casually. If it is accidentally broken, it will be miserable."
Qin Chuan smiled and took a few candies from the plate next to him, handed them to her and said, "Look at your baby, don't you dislike second brother's dirty hands?"
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "I won't eat, second brother, how is your martial arts training going?"
Qin Chuan peeled the candy and said, "It's okay, that's it. Tell you, maybe you don't understand."
Qin Weimo pursed his lips slightly, and thought to himself: Brother-in-law is also practicing martial arts.
Qin Chuan put the candy into his mouth, stared at her face, and said, "Wei Mo, you seem to be in good spirits these two days, and I didn't see you coughing on the way tonight. It seems that those medicines The effect is good, you have to remember to eat it every day, you can’t stop.”
Qin Weimo pursed his lips and smiled lightly, nodded and said: "Well, Weimo also wants to eat every day, and Weimo doesn't want to stop."
Qin Chuan asked a little strangely: "What's the matter? Is there not enough medicine? The second brother will go out to buy it tomorrow. If there is no one in the city, the second brother will go out of the city to buy it elsewhere."
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "It's enough for now."
She thought to herself: For the time being, brother-in-law is still willing to stay with her, but he doesn't know how long he will be with her.
Qin Chuan glanced at his mother, and suddenly approached her and asked, "Wei Mo, tell the second brother the truth, after you fell into a coma that night, you woke up the next day, when Qingzhou went to see you, why did mother suddenly Pulled Qing Zhou into your room? This... seems to be against the rules, right? And mother doesn't let any man enter your room? Neither me nor dad have ever entered your room, what's going on?"
Qin Weimo smiled, and said softly: "Second brother, you should ask your mother about this matter, Weimo is not too clear."
Hearing this, Qin Chuan could only shake his head: "Forget it, mother wouldn't tell me this kind of thing. And this kind of thing seems a bit embarrassing, so I'd better not ask. I'm just a little strange, Qingzhou that The kid looks dumb, why does he seem to please his mother so much, it's really strange."
Qin Weimo said softly: "Second brother, in fact, brother-in-law is very powerful, but you don't know it."
"Oh?"
Qin Chuan was slightly stunned, and said: "What's so good about that kid? Isn't he just a scholar, can he read a few books and compose a few poems?"
Qin Weimo smiled and said: "Second brother, you can't underestimate anyone. You will take the exam at Dragon and Tiger Academy next year, and you can't underestimate any opponent, otherwise you will definitely suffer."
Qin Chuan nodded and said: "Of course I know this, but that kid Qingzhou really can't see what is so powerful. The second brother can push him down with one finger, do you believe it?"
Qin Weimo smiled and shook his head, "Weimo doesn't believe it."
She thought to herself: Brother-in-law can kill a person with one punch, so he won't be pushed down by you.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Did you underestimate the second brother? Why don't we go back tonight to find Qingzhou, and let you see how powerful the second brother is, okay?"
Qin Weimo immediately said: "Not good. Second brother, you are not allowed to bully brother-in-law."
Qin Chuan laughed and said: "Just kidding, just kidding. Qingzhou is a scholar, and the second brother is a warrior. How can he bully him. Even if the second brother wants to bully, he is bullying outsiders. How can he bully his own brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law..."
Hearing this word, Qin Weimo's heart immediately rippled.
While the brother and sister were talking, the noisy chatter in the hall outside suddenly stopped.
Immediately, the voice of the city lord Meng Jinnan sounded outside: "The eldest princess is here."
In the hall.
Everyone hurriedly stood up, lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and fell silent.
In the side room, the female relatives also hurriedly stopped chatting, stood up from their chairs, stood upright, and waited quietly.
not long.
A tall figure in a red dress, surrounded by four maids and some servant girls, and accompanied by Meng Jinnan, walked into the hall from the courtyard outside.
Everyone in the hall was shocked by the gaze of the girl in the red skirt, they all held their breath, bowed their heads, and did not dare to move.
Even those aristocratic elders who are over half a hundred years old are nervous and dare not speak out.
This girl has joined the army since she was thirteen years old, and she has shown amazing military talent. In the past five years, she has killed countless enemies. She even personally beheaded the king of Jin and other royal family members. A total of 100,000 soldiers have surrendered, and even the army of the enemy countries has changed their expressions, let alone those who have never even been on the battlefield.
This young girl is not angry, she has a chilling aura all over her body, no one dares to look up.
"Princess, please sit up."
The city lord Meng Jin Nanmeng, who covered the sky with one hand in Mo City, was also cautious at this time, with his body slightly bowed, showing extreme respect.
Nangong Huoyue walked up to the main seat, lifted the red dress, turned around and sat down on the chair. The wide red dress was like a flame, adding a more intimidating aura to the girl.
Meng Jinnan cupped his hands beside him and said with a smile: "Eldest Princess, today I have invited many guests to welcome the eldest princess and celebrate her victory in this battle. Let me show off my great power and protect the people of Great Yan. Everyone They all prepared some small gifts for the eldest princess to express their feelings, and hope that the eldest princess can take a look."
Nangong Huoyue glanced at the people below indifferently, but did not speak.
Meng Jinnan immediately winked at the people below.
Zhang Song's family advocated that Song immediately come out of the crowd, came to the middle, bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Zhang Song pays homage to the eldest princess. This time the eldest princess defended against the enemy at the border and won a complete victory, which not only showed my great power , and also protected the people of our Mo city. I know that the eldest princess does not like extravagance and waste, so I dare not bring other things here today. I only took a sword and gave it to the eldest princess. I hope that the eldest princess will not dislike it. .”
As soon as the words were finished, a person walked out immediately, holding a long wooden box in both hands, and handed it to him.
Zhang Song took it, bent down and lowered his head, and raised the wooden box in his hands with both hands.
Meng Jinnan immediately came down and took it in his hand, and presented it respectfully in front of the eldest princess.
A maid came out from behind Nangong Huoyue, opened the wooden box, took out a sword from inside, held it in both hands, and handed it to her.
Nangong Huoyue glanced at it, took it in her hand, held the hilt of the sword, and pulled out a section with a "clang".
Suddenly, a cold light burst out, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly!
"Good sword!"
Meng Jinnan praised with a smile all over his face: "The sound of this sword is like a clear spring, the blade has a cold light, and the sword energy is restrained. It is obviously made of high-grade black iron. I am afraid that the master of the sword has added some other materials. .Even if it is a good iron armor, I am afraid it can be cut to pieces with a single sword."
Nangong Huoyue put away the sword, without any other expression on her face, nodded and said: "It is indeed a good sword, Mr. Zhang has a heart."
Zhang Songzu was an official in the imperial court, and now he still has a vain job. The eldest princess has come to Mocheng several times, so she naturally knows him.
Hearing the princess's compliment, Zhang Song was immediately overwhelmed by flattery. He quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands, bowed deeply, but didn't dare to say any more, and immediately stepped aside to make room for others.
Luo Yannian of the Chengguo Mansion stepped forward, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Your official, Luo Yannian, pays homage to the Eldest Princess. I heard that the Eldest Princess is coming to Mocheng, and the officials prepared a strong horse for the Eldest Princess and kept it in the stable. We will wait for the Eldest Princess tomorrow." The princess has time, and the next official immediately sent it to the eldest princess to tame it herself. Today, Jiannei also prepared a moonlight pearl for the eldest princess. If the eldest princess reads at night, she can put it in the tent, which is many times brighter than the oil lamp. "
As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang, immediately bowed her head, holding a brocade box in both hands, and walked out cautiously from the side, then bent her knees, kneeling respectfully on the ground, holding the brocade box in both hands. The box was raised above his head, his eyes always lowered to the ground.
The maid behind the eldest princess came down immediately, took the brocade box, opened it for a look, then walked up, and handed it to the eldest princess.
Nangong Huoyue took a look, did not comment, but looked down and said: "Master Luo, I heard that your eldest son is now in the Imperial Forest Army of the capital, and he is doing well, and his cultivation is improving rapidly, isn't it?"
Luo Yannian hurriedly said respectfully: "The eldest son of the lower official, Changtian, is indeed serving in the Royal Forest Army. As for performance and cultivation, it is not worthy of the princess's praise."
Nangong Huoyue suddenly said again: "I remember that next year Dragon and Tiger Academy will recruit exams, and Mocheng seems to have a few places. Your eldest son was admitted to Dragon and Tiger Academy with the first place in Mocheng, right? Next year, you Do you have any sons to attend?"
Luo Yannian lowered his head and said, "I still have a son, and I will indeed take the entrance examination for Dragon and Tiger Academy next year."
Nangong Huoyue nodded and said: "If every meritorious family is like Master Luo's family, studying hard, serving the country, and relying on their own strength to be an official, how can I propose to the Holy One to abolish the three generations of titles and other suggestions."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yannian bowed his head and did not dare to answer.
Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "I remember that your title of Cheng Guofu has been hereditary for three generations, right?"
Luo Yannian's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and said respectfully: "Including the lower officials, there are indeed three generations."
Nangong Huoyue nodded slightly, but did not speak again.
Luo Yanhou's back was dripping with cold sweat, and after waiting for a while, he quickly pulled Wang who was still kneeling beside him, bowed and retreated.
Then, the Wang family, Song family and other families all sent gifts.
Song Fu, the Patriarch of the Song family, after presenting a pair of strong bows, also presented a picture scroll, and said respectfully: "The poems on this painting are all written by the nephew Zhengming of the Cao nationality, and they are specially written for the eldest princess."
Nangong Huoyue opened it and looked at the two works casually, nodded and said: "The literary talent is good, good poems, good words."
When Song Fu bowed his head and stepped back, he calmly glanced at Qin Wenzheng next to him.
It was Qin Wenzheng's turn.
Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "Master Qin, your family has three generations of titles, right?"
Qin Wenzheng bowed his head and said, "Indeed there are."
Nangong Huoyue said indifferently: "If I remember correctly, the eldest son of your family is still studying at Kyoto Dragon and Tiger Academy, right?"
Qin Wenzheng said: "It is true that Quanzi has been studying at the Dragon Academy for more than two years."
Nangong Huoyue nodded and did not speak again.
Meng Jinnan on the side quickly reminded: "Brother Wenzheng, what gift are you going to give the eldest princess today?"
at this time.
Song Ruyue supported the weak girl in a plain white dress, and slowly walked out of the next room.
The young girl held a thick picture scroll in her hand.

A luxuriously decorated carriage stopped on the road not far away.
Immediately, Wang Lun, the Patriarch of the Wang family, strode forward with several brothers and family members, holding gifts.
Next.
Zhang Song, the head of the Luo family in Chengguo Mansion, Luo Yannian, and the head of the Song family, Song Fu, all came with their families.
At first, everyone was smiling and talking at the door, but after seeing Song Fu bringing his family over, the smiles on everyone's faces faded slightly, and their voices became much quieter.
The Song family had just passed away their son and daughter. Even on such a day, it was hard to laugh.
Sun Qiaoxiang, Song Fu's wife, is even more dull-faced.
Song Fu knew that tonight was not the time to be sad, when he saw the heads of other families at the door, he immediately smiled and quickened his pace.
Several old friends met each other, exchanged some pleasantries at the door, and then brought their family members into the mansion.
After a while.
The carriage of the Qin Mansion, Fang slowly turned in from the street not far away, and stopped on the side of the road.
Qin Wenzheng got out of the carriage first.
Immediately, Qin Chuan, the second son of the Qin family, jumped down lightly, and then went to help Song Ruyue down.
The last one to come down was an extremely weak and beautiful girl in a plain white dress.
The Qin family did not bring anyone else here today except for these people.
When Meng Beiwang saw them, he opened the list and took a look, then immediately went up to greet them, cupped his hands with a smile all over his face, and said, "Brother Wen Zheng is busy with work, so it's a bit late to come today."

Then his eyes turned to the roll in the hand of the weak girl.
Qin Weimo raised his hand, handed the framed scroll to Qin Chuan, and said softly, "Second brother, these are some poems and paintings written by Weimo, show them to Uncle Meng."
Qin Chuan quickly took it, held it in both hands, and handed it to Meng Beiwang.

Qin Wenzheng resigned a few words, Fang took his family and went up the steps.
Song Ruyue supported her daughter.
Qin Chuan followed on the other side and kept an eye on it.
Just going up the steps, Qin Weimo blushed, panting, looking like she was about to fall at any time.
Song Ruyue not only reproached in a low voice: "Mother has already said, what are you doing on this occasion? Your precious poems, when the time comes, Mother will help you give it to the eldest princess. Why do you have to do it yourself? Come on, if you faint later, hey..."

Song Ruyue sighed again and did not speak again.
The servant led them into the spacious hall.
In the hall, members of other families were already drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Qin Wenzheng coming in, they all stood up and exchanged warm greetings.
The female relatives were taken to the next room.
Song Ruyue quickly found those ladies who often played together.
Several people quickly became one.
Qin Weimo sat quietly on a chair in the corner, holding the picture scroll full of poems tightly in his hand.
After greeting several young men he knew, Qin Chuan came to accompany her.
Song Ruyue was sitting by the side. Although she was chatting and joking with those ladies, she would glance at this place from time to time.
"Wei Mo, did you write all the poems on this scroll?"

She thought to herself: Brother-in-law can kill a person with one punch, so he won't be pushed down by you.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Did you underestimate the second brother? Why don't we go back tonight to find Qingzhou, and let you see how powerful the second brother is, okay?"
Qin Weimo immediately said: "Not good. Second brother, you are not allowed to bully brother-in-law."
Qin Chuan laughed and said: "Just kidding, just kidding. Qingzhou is a scholar, and the second brother is a warrior. How can he bully him. Even if the second brother wants to bully, he is bullying outsiders. How can he bully his own brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law..."
Hearing this word, Qin Weimo's heart immediately rippled.

I am afraid that the master of the sword has added some other materials. .Even if it is a good iron armor, I am afraid it can be cut to pieces with a single sword."
Nangong Huoyue put away the sword, without any other expression on her face, nodded and said: "It is indeed a good sword, Mr. Zhang has a heart."
Zhang Songzu was an official in the imperial court, and now he still has a vain job. The eldest princess has come to Mocheng several times, so she naturally knows him.
Hearing the princess's compliment, Zhang Song was immediately overwhelmed by flattery. He quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands, bowed deeply, but didn't dare to say any more, and immediately stepped aside to make room for others.
Luo Yannian of the Chengguo Mansion stepped forward, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Your official, Luo Yannian, pays homage to the Eldest Princess. I heard that the Eldest Princess is coming to Mocheng, and the officials prepared a strong horse for the Eldest Princess and kept it in the stable. We will wait for the Eldest Princess tomorrow." The princess has time, and the next official immediately sent it to the eldest princess to tame it herself. Today, Jiannei also prepared a moonlight pearl for the eldest princess. If the eldest princess reads at night, she can put it in the tent, which is many times brighter than the oil lamp. "
As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang, immediately bowed her head, holding a brocade box in both hands, and walked out cautiously from the side, then bent her knees, kneeling respectfully on the ground, holding the brocade box in both hands. The box was raised above his head, his eyes always lowered to the ground.
The maid behind the eldest princess came down immediately, took the brocade box, opened it for a look, then walked up, and handed it to the eldest princess.
Nangong Huoyue took a look, did not comment, but looked down and said: "Master Luo, I heard that your eldest son is now in the Imperial Forest Army of the capital, and he is doing well, and his cultivation is improving rapidly, isn't it?"
Luo Yannian hurriedly said respectfully: "The eldest son of the lower official, Changtian, is indeed serving in the Royal Forest Army. As for performance and cultivation, it is not worthy of the princess's praise."
Nangong Huoyue suddenly said again: "I remember that next year Dragon and Tiger Academy will recruit exams, and Mocheng seems to have a few places. Your eldest son was admitted to Dragon and Tiger Academy with the first place in Mocheng, right? Next year, you Do you have any sons to attend?"
Luo Yannian lowered his head and said, "I still have a son, and I will indeed take the entrance examination for Dragon and Tiger Academy next year."
Nangong Huoyue nodded and said: "If every meritorious family is like Master Luo's family, studying hard, serving the country, and relying on their own strength to be an official, how can I propose to the Holy One to abolish the three generations of titles and other suggestions."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yannian bowed his head and did not dare to answer.
Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "I remember that your title of Cheng Guofu has been hereditary for three generations, right?"
Luo Yannian's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and said respectfully: "Including the lower officials, there are indeed three generations."
Nangong Huoyue nodded slightly, but did not speak again.
Luo Yanhou's back was dripping with cold sweat, and after waiting for a while, he quickly pulled Wang who was still kneeling beside him, bowed and retreated.
Then, the Wang family, Song family and other families all sent gifts.
Song Fu, the Patriarch of the Song family, after presenting a pair of strong bows, also presented a picture scroll, and said respectfully: "The poems on this painting are all written by the nephew Zhengming of the Cao nationality, and they are specially written for the eldest princess."
Nangong Huoyue opened it and looked at the two works casually, nodded and said: "The literary talent is good, good poems, good words."
When Song Fu bowed his head and stepped back, he calmly glanced at Qin Wenzheng next to him.
It was Qin Wenzheng's turn.
Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "Master Qin, your family has three generations of titles, right?"
Qin Wenzheng bowed his head and said, "Indeed there are."
Nangong Huoyue said indifferently: "If I remember correctly, the eldest son of your family is still studying at Kyoto Dragon and Tiger Academy, right?"
Qin Wenzheng said: "It is true that Quanzi has been studying at the Dragon Academy for more than two years."
Nangong Huoyue nodded and did not speak again.
Meng Jinnan on the side quickly reminded: "Brother Wenzheng, what gift are you going to give the eldest princess today?"
at this time.
Song Ruyue supported the weak girl in a plain white dress, and slowly walked out of the next room.
The young girl held a thick picture scroll in her hand.

Chapter 145 at dusk. Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, on the spacious avenue, cars are like flowing water and horses are like dragons.In order to make the princess's dinner more lively tonight, the city lord Meng Jinnan invited many nobles from Mocheng, as well as some members of the big family.The members of the four major families and the meritorious family all sent representatives to the banquet with gifts.On both sides of the door, stood two rows of armored soldiers. Outside the four walls of Fuchu, there are guards of various warriors patrolling all the timeUnder the gate steps.Meng Jinnan's younger brother Meng Beiwang greeted the guests in person with a smile on his face and a list in hand.Each invited guest can only bring up to five family members to the banquet, and the name of each family member must be reported in advance.A luxuriously decorated carriage stopped on the road not far away. Immediately, Wang Lun, the Patriarch of the Wang family, strode forward with several brothers and family members, holding gifts. Next.Zhang Song, the head of the Luo family in Chengguo Mansion, Luo Yannian, and the head of the Song family, Song Fu, all came with their families.At first, everyone was smiling and talking at the door, but after seeing Song Fu bringing his family over, the smiles on everyone's faces faded slightly, and their voices became much quieter.The Song family had just passed away their son and daughter. Even on such a day, it was hard to laugh.Sun Qiaoxiang, Song Fu's wife, is even more dull-faced. Song Fu knew that tonight was not the time to be sad, when he saw the heads of other families at the door, he immediately smiled and quickened his pace. Several old friends met each other, exchanged some pleasantries at the door, and then brought their family members into the mansion. After a while.The carriage of the Qin Mansion, Fang slowly turned in from the street not far away, and stopped on the side of the road.Qin Wenzheng got out of the carriage first. Immediately, Qin Chuan, the second son of the Qin family, jumped down lightly, and then went to help Song Ruyue down.The last one to come down was an extremely weak and beautiful girl in a plain white dress.The Qin family did not bring anyone else here today except for these people.When Meng Beiwang saw them, he opened the list and took a look, then immediately went up to greet them, cupped his hands with a smile all over his face, and said, "Brother Wen Zheng is busy with work, so it's a bit late to come today."Qin Wenzheng clasped his hands and said with a smile: "There are too many people on the road, so it took some time. Brother Beiwang came out to greet the guests in person today, which is a bit condescending."Meng Beiwang laughed quickly and said, "Where is it? Today is the princess's banquet. If it wasn't for my elder brother who needed to accompany me to answer the questions, how could it be my turn to come here to welcome you distinguished guests?"The two exchanged a few more pleasantries.Meng Bei looked at Fang with a smile on his face and glanced at the family members behind him. Seeing that there was no one else, Fang cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wen Zheng, please bear with me. For the safety of the Eldest Princess, my brother has orders. All the gifts brought by the guests tonight will be delivered to you." Take a look ahead."Qin Wenzheng smiled and said, "It should." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said to Qin Chuan, "Chuan'er, bring the things here."Qin Chuan immediately held a rectangular brocade box with both hands and handed it to him.Qin Wenzheng opened the brocade box, put it in front of Meng Beiwang, and explained: "My mother got this jade ruyi from other places, and kept it at home. I came to visit the princess today, and I didn't have any other gifts, so I just took it away. It's here, let's talk about it."Meng Bei took a look, nodded and said with a smile: "The color looks good, it's a good thing." Then his eyes turned to the roll in the hand of the weak girl.Qin Weimo raised his hand, handed the framed scroll to Qin Chuan, and said softly, "Second brother, these are some poems and paintings written by Weimo, show them to Uncle Meng."Qin Chuan quickly took it, held it in both hands, and handed it to Meng Beiwang.Meng Beiwang just glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Since it's poetry, calligraphy and painting, there's nothing to check, anyway, I can't understand it. Haha, brother Wenzheng, your little daughter looks like a talented girl at first glance, yes, good."Qin Wenzheng resigned a few words, Fang took his family and went up the steps.Song Ruyue supported her daughter.Qin Chuan followed on the other side and kept an eye on it.Just going up the steps, Qin Weimo blushed, panting, looking like she was about to fall at any time.Song Ruyue not only reproached in a low voice: "Mother has already said, what are you doing on this occasion? Your precious poems, when the time comes, Mother will help you give it to the eldest princess. Why do you have to do it yourself? Come on, if you faint later, hey..."Qin Weimo clenched the thing in his hand, but did not speak.Qin Chuan on the side hurriedly comforted: "Mother, it's okay, I'm watching Wei Mo. Wei Mo stays at home all day and has never come out. It's not a bad thing to be able to come out this time to get some air. .Song Ruyue sighed again and did not speak again.The servant led them into the spacious hall.In the hall, members of other families were already drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Qin Wenzheng coming in, they all stood up and exchanged warm greetings.The female relatives were taken to the next room.Song Ruyue quickly found those ladies who often played together. Several people quickly became one.Qin Weimo sat quietly on a chair in the corner, holding the picture scroll full of poems tightly in his hand. After greeting several young men he knew, Qin Chuan came to accompany her.Song Ruyue was sitting by the side. Although she was chatting and joking with those ladies, she would glance at this place from time to time. "Wei Mo, did you write all the poems on this scroll?"Qin Chuan asked softly.Qin Weimo smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Second Brother."Qin Chuan stretched out his hand and smiled, "Second brother, can you take a look?"Qin Weimo shook his head, and said softly: "Weimo will give it to the eldest princess later, and the second brother can't touch it casually. If it is accidentally broken, it will be miserable."Qin Chuan smiled and took a few candies from the plate next to him, handed them to her and said, "Look at your baby, don't you dislike second brother's dirty hands?"Qin Weimo smiled and said, "I won't eat, second brother, how is your martial arts training going?"Qin Chuan peeled the candy and said, "It's okay, that's it. Tell you, maybe you don't understand."Qin Weimo pursed his lips slightly, and thought to himself: Brother-in-law is also practicing martial arts.Qin Chuan put the candy into his mouth, stared at her face, and said, "Wei Mo, you seem to be in good spirits these two days, and I didn't see you coughing on the way tonight. It seems that those medicines The effect is good, you have to remember to eat it every day, you can't stop.Qin Weimo pursed his lips and smiled lightly, nodded and said: "Well, Weimo also wants to eat every day, and Weimo doesn't want to stop."Qin Chuan asked a little strangely: "What's the matter? Is there not enough medicine? The second brother will go out to buy it tomorrow. If there is no one in the city, the second brother will go out of the city to buy it elsewhere."Qin Weimo smiled and said, "It's enough for now."She thought to herself: For the time being, brother-in-law is still willing to stay with her, but he doesn't know how long he will be with her.Qin Chuan glanced at his mother, and suddenly approached her and asked, "Wei Mo, tell the second brother the truth, after you fell into a coma that night, you woke up the next day, when Qingzhou went to see you, why did mother suddenly Pulled Qing Zhou into your room? This... seems to be against the rules, right? And mother doesn't let any man enter your room? Neither me nor dad have ever entered your room, what's going on?"Qin Weimo smiled, and said softly: "Second brother, you should ask your mother about this matter, Weimo is not too clear."Hearing this, Qin Chuan could only shake his head: "Forget it, mother wouldn't tell me this kind of thing. And this kind of thing seems a bit embarrassing, so I'd better not ask. I'm just a little strange, Qingzhou that The kid looks dumb, why does he seem to please his mother so much, it's really strange."Qin Weimo said softly: "Second brother, in fact, brother-in-law is very powerful, but you don't know it." "Oh?"Qin Chuan was slightly stunned, and said: "What's so good about that kid? Isn't he just a scholar, can he read a few books and compose a few poems?"Qin Weimo smiled and said: "Second brother, you can't underestimate anyone. You will take the exam at Dragon and Tiger Academy next year, and you can't underestimate any opponent, otherwise you will definitely suffer."Qin Chuan nodded and said: "Of course I know this, but that kid Qingzhou really can't see what is so powerful. The second brother can push him down with one finger, do you believe it?"Qin Weimo smiled and shook his head, "Weimo doesn't believe it."She thought to herself: Brother-in-law can kill a person with one punch, so he won't be pushed down by you.Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Did you underestimate the second brother? Why don't we go back tonight to find Qingzhou, and let you see how powerful the second brother is, okay?"Qin Weimo immediately said: "Not good. Second brother, you are not allowed to bully brother-in-law."Qin Chuan laughed and said: "Just kidding, just kidding. Qingzhou is a scholar, and the second brother is a warrior. How can he bully him. Even if the second brother wants to bully, he is bullying outsiders. How can he bully his own brother-in-law." "Brother-in-law..."Hearing this word, Qin Weimo's heart immediately rippled.While the brother and sister were talking, the noisy chatter in the hall outside suddenly stopped. Immediately, the voice of the city lord Meng Jinnan sounded outside: "The eldest princess is here."In the hall. Everyone hurriedly stood up, lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and fell silent.In the side room, the female relatives also hurriedly stopped chatting, stood up from their chairs, stood upright, and waited quietly. not long.A tall figure in a red dress, surrounded by four maids and some servant girls, and accompanied by Meng Jinnan, walked into the hall from the courtyard outside.Everyone in the hall was shocked by the gaze of the girl in the red skirt, they all held their breath, bowed their heads, and did not dare to move.Even those aristocratic elders who are over half a hundred years old are nervous and dare not speak out.This girl has joined the army since she was thirteen years old, and she has shown amazing military talent. In the past five years, she has killed countless enemies. She even personally beheaded the king of Jin and other royal family members. A total of 100,000 soldiers have surrendered, and even the army of the enemy countries has changed their expressions, let alone those who have never even been on the battlefield.This young girl is not angry, she has a chilling aura all over her body, no one dares to look up. "Princess, please sit up."The city lord Meng Jin Nanmeng, who covered the sky with one hand in Mo City, was also cautious at this time, with his body slightly bowed, showing extreme respect.Nangong Huoyue walked up to the main seat, lifted the red dress, turned around and sat down on the chair. The wide red dress was like a flame, adding a more intimidating aura to the girl.Meng Jinnan cupped his hands beside him and said with a smile: "Eldest Princess, today I have invited many guests to welcome the eldest princess and celebrate her victory in this battle. Let me show off my great power and protect the people of Great Yan. Everyone They all prepared some small gifts for the eldest princess to express their feelings, and hope that the eldest princess can take a look."Nangong Huoyue glanced at the people below indifferently, but did not speak.Meng Jinnan immediately winked at the people below.Zhang Song's family advocated that Song immediately come out of the crowd, came to the middle, bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Zhang Song pays homage to the eldest princess. This time the eldest princess defended against the enemy at the border and won a complete victory, which not only showed my great power , and also protected the people of our Mo city. I know that the eldest princess does not like extravagance and waste, so I dare not bring other things here today. I only took a sword and gave it to the eldest princess. I hope that the eldest princess will not dislike it. .As soon as the words were finished, a person walked out immediately, holding a long wooden box in both hands, and handed it to him.Zhang Song took it, bent down and lowered his head, and raised the wooden box in his hands with both hands.Meng Jinnan immediately came down and took it in his hand, and presented it respectfully in front of the eldest princess.A maid came out from behind Nangong Huoyue, opened the wooden box, took out a sword from inside, held it in both hands, and handed it to her.Nangong Huoyue glanced at it, took it in her hand, held the hilt of the sword, and pulled out a section with a "clang".Suddenly, a cold light burst out, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly! "Good sword!"Meng Jinnan praised with a smile all over his face: "The sound of this sword is like a clear spring, the blade has a cold light, and the sword energy is restrained. It is obviously made of high-grade black iron. I am afraid that the master of the sword has added some other materials. .Even if it is a good iron armor, I am afraid it can be cut to pieces with a single sword."Nangong Huoyue put away the sword, without any other expression on her face, nodded and said: "It is indeed a good sword, Mr. Zhang has a heart." Zhang Songzu was an official in the imperial court, and now he still has a vain job. The eldest princess has come to Mocheng several times, so she naturally knows him.Hearing the princess's compliment, Zhang Song was immediately overwhelmed by flattery. He quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands, bowed deeply, but didn't dare to say any more, and immediately stepped aside to make room for others.Luo Yannian of the Chengguo Mansion stepped forward, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Your official, Luo Yannian, pays homage to the Eldest Princess.

The princess has time, and the next official immediately sent it to the eldest princess to tame it herself. Today, Jiannei also prepared a moonlight pearl for the eldest princess. If the eldest princess reads at night, she can put it in the tent, which is many times brighter than the oil lamp. "As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang, immediately bowed her head, holding a brocade box in both hands, and walked out cautiously from the side, then bent her knees, kneeling respectfully on the ground, holding the brocade box in both hands.
