Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Throwing Flower Arrangements To Lowly Flies
Spreading his gaze, Xiu Qixuan looked at the unfamiliar faces. The women who come today wear their best clothes, what is worn on the head and body is a popular style that shows their status and background.
At the same time, Mr and Mrs Qu came over to greet and invite them to sit down. Men's and women's seats are separated by a curtain into two opposite sections, left for women and right for men, sorted according to their family status and degree.
Xiu Haocun and Mo Ji Gui had already been pulled away by Lord Mayor Qu who looked like a lick to put on a face.
"Come, Big Miss!" Madam Qu said with a friendly smile. On the other hand, Xiu Yue accompanied Wei Guifei to the seat on the podium.
Lady Qu or her real name, Wei Hanque, Wei Guifei's younger sister has a full face and body, his skin was bright yellow and looked darker than Wei Guifei who had skin as smooth and beautiful as the moon. Even so the glow of nobility is seen from the sharpness in the speech of the sentence and his eyes deep.
"Yes, thank you Mrs Qu." Xiu Qixuan responded more sincerely.
"Is Big Miss' body better?" While walking side by side towards the chair, Madam Qu began to ask attentively. "I heard the news of your body becoming weak from being injured two years ago when Nanbao attacked us. That's very heroic and amazing, Miss!" said.
Entap what the intention was in his sentence, but, Xiu Qixuan replied straightforwardly avoiding the heavy ones. "Mrs praise me, my body is much better now thanks to your attention!"
Switching the topic, Xiu Qixuan turned to ask lightly as if she really did not know. "Oh, where is Young Master Qu? Was it absent when the mayor's residence was already full of guests?"
Madam Qu was silent in the smile she maintained, she was able to kink easily; "Aiyaa, that child must still be in the reading room. He's full of passion, too crazy to help his father's administrative work." Immediately Madame Qu waved her hand asking the nearest servant to call Young Master Qu.
Xiu Qixuan only fell silent until she sat comfortably on the chair next to Yao Yunmei. "Oh!" Xiu Qixuan immediately sneered when she saw that Madam Qu had already left.
"Don't act!" Yao Yunmei suddenly let out a threat in his ear.
"Yes, but I don't promise." Xiu Qixuan cleared her throat nonchalantly picking up a snack to chew.
Yao Yunmei simply shook his head.
The banquet began when Wei Guifei started a greeting word for his guests. "The sunny weather in the spring brought me here to meet the family that I long missed. My niece got married, had a wife blooming and showered her with a wonderful life."
Listening to that sentence, Xiu Yue's face flushed red with great pleasure. On the side, it was seen that Qu Ganxun who had returned was hugging her waist warmly.
Wei Guifei again continued by raising the wine glass as he said clearly and loudly; "This is a happy thing. Before I return to the palace, I instruct the people to party in this garden! Please feel comfortable and enjoy this banquet with me."
The entire standing person raised the wine cup to drink with a single gulp as Wei Guifei finished his sentence. "Thank you for Wei Guifei niang niang's kindness." After speaking, and drinking wine in their glasses, everyone sat back down.
Xiu Qixuan placed down the wine cup and began to eat whatever was available on the table. His eyes are waiting, occasionally glancing towards the stage of the show where the dancers are currently displaying the beauty of their dance.
"Where is Second Lady Chu?" Xiu Qixuan threw a question to Yao Yunmei who was speechless watching the show.
"It doesn't seem to come. I heard the news that he locked himself in the room after some time." Yao Yunmei said calmly telling. His tone was indifferent.
With a frown, Xiu Qixuan muttered. "Is there such news?"
"Yes, the rumor is he's falling seriously ill." Yao Yunmei responded.
The season had not passed, but Chu Yu's health had instantly been bad ever since Xiu Qixuan had met him forcibly back then? Ah, was he too surprised to discuss the past?
The music stops, the dance troupe exits the stage, replaced by a flower-scented woman holding an erhu in her hand.
Intentionally, their views clashed. Xiu Qixuan put on a flat face expressionlessly staring at him. And, Hua Yunyan's eyes as if smiling gave a hidden cue.
'Help...' Xiu Qixuan sighed involuntarily feeling a loss.
"What's wrong, Xuan'er?" Yao Yunmei puzzledly asked when she heard the sound of her breathing.
Without turning his face away, Xiu Qixuan said ambiguously. "When I looked at myself, I felt a loss. A lowly fly gets a flower arrangement that I threw for him."
Hearing this, Yao Yunmei did not understand. But he did not expect that, after only five minutes, he would understand the ambiguous meaning of Xiu Qixuan's words.
Xiu Qixuan was not the unreasonable type of person. He not only wanted to avenge Xiu Yue who had already humbled him. In simple terms, she wanted to push Hua Yunyan into the mayor's residence as a concubine as well as her person. He wanted to spread out and implant his eyes and ears in the most important corner of Ping'an City as long as he was going to go to fight to the Capital.
Meanwhile, Hua Yunyan herself wanted a comfortable life. Women are smart and have abilities. Naturally, he was able to survive in the fight against Xiu Yue who had always been jealous.
The song was finished by Hua Yunyan. The men are still looking at her beautiful features. And, the women clucked wryly full of divinity.
Hua Yunyan's face smiled. He got up and bowed respectfully then stepped down from the stage of the show.
When intending to go down the stairs, his steps tripped, lucky an old servant propped his body. However, something rustled down from under her clothing sleeves.
Srakk...
A rare jade stone with noble engravings on it bloomed the image of a mulberry flower that symbolized prosperity. It fell on the ground, the faces of everyone who saw it instantly turned full of bated waves.
"This?" The old servant released his hand on Hua Yunyan's body to retrieve the jade, he carefully kept it from the guests' sight.
Then the old servant ordered the two guards to hold Hua Yunyan, after which he immediately stepped towards the podium to hand the object over to the master. "Mrs! The comfort woman carried this in her sleeves." The old servant whispered to report.
Some of the guests spoke to each other lowly, they were not stupid to realize.
"Isn't that jade that belongs only to the descendants of the Qu man?"
"Only Master and Young Master Qu have it."
"That's a rare mulberry jade flower, isn't it."
"Did the Lord Mayor pick a new flower without Mrs Mayor's knowledge?"
Xiu Qixuan watched closely, she looked at Qu Ganxun's cold sweaty stiff face. It is certain that the foolish man did not realize that his most important thing disappeared when he was busy dealing with his depraved n*fsu.
On the other hand, Mr and Mrs Mayor Qu had a dark expression. And, the restless Xiu Yue bit her lips. Only Wei Guifei chose a calm face on the podium, as intrigue was his daily meal inside the palace.
Mrs Qu first cleared her throat hard to focus everyone's focus. She said with anger to twitch; "The thief woman! Where did your courage come from?! Steal an item that symbolizes our Qu prosperity! So presumptuous!"
Xiu Qixuan could not help but quibble in amazement at the cleverness of Mistress Qu who said to dodge the blow.
