This look made the beautiful concubine stunned for a moment, and her movements that were about to come up to serve him again froze.
Marquis Jing'an scolded: "What are you talking about? What is your identity? You also went to entertain guests. If word spreads, where will I put my face? There is no one at home. I want a concubine to come forward?"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, took the clothes next to him and put them on the outside, and called out: "You guys come here and tie my hair."
The maids hurriedly followed: "Yes."
After tidying up his clothes, Marquis Jing'an hurriedly walked towards the tent at the back.
Hearing the noise, Xia Zhaoyi and Shitou on the hillside turned to look down.
The lights were bright, Marquis Jingan was walking very fast, and there were many people behind him, and he was in a panic.
The lantern hit Jingan Hou, and his body cast a shadow on the ground. Due to the angle, his supposed tall shadow was folded into a small one.
"The Marquis finally woke up," Dai Yu threw away the fruit core in his hand and said, "If he doesn't have a feast of wine and meat, I will scold him every time I meet him from now on!"
Xia Zhaoyi laughed, raised his hand and touched Qingyun's neck, and said: "There will definitely be something delicious and delicious."
"Absolutely?" Dai Yu shook his head, "I heard that Marquis Jing'an has become more and more stingy in recent years."
"Not this time. Shitou said that the Marquis of Jing'an has nothing to ask for from Mr. Shen, but judging from the woman's behavior, it seems that she wants a lot of things. She wants to ask for something, but she has left him alone for so long.
I’m afraid even one banquet is far from enough.”
Speaking of this, Xia Zhaoyi paused and said, "Marquis Jing'an, are you getting more and more stingy?"
"yes."
The smile on Xia Zhaoyi's lips faded, and she raised her eyes to look back at the tent over there.
In the past, Tao Daizhuo was a well-known dandy in the capital when people mentioned him. He would spend a lot of money or enjoy great achievements, but he would not take money seriously.
Nowadays, I am becoming more and more stingy, which means I am starting to worry about food and clothing.
"Ah Li," Dai Yu looked at her, "What are you thinking about?"
"I feel a bit sad just thinking about the past." Xia Zhaoyi replied.
Dai Yu burst out laughing at how big of a brat she was.
"Nephew Shen!" Marquis Jing'an entered the tent and went straight to Shen Lie, "It's rude and disrespectful to keep you waiting for so long. My concubine is so ignorant!"
Shen Lie's face was dull and he did not stand up. He kept his original posture and raised his eyebrows to look at him: "Master Hou, it seems that you slept well?"
A meal for the Marquis of Jingan.
Those following Marquis Jing'an couldn't help but frown.
And as they got closer, everyone realized that he was sitting cross-legged, casually and lazily, without any manners or manners.
Marquis Jing'an smiled: "I slept well, I kept making my nephew wait longer. This is an old habit of mine."
"It won't be long," Shen Lie said, "it will only take more than three hours. If I hadn't been delayed at your place, I would have eaten and slept with plenty of wine and meat in Xitao Town tonight."
"It doesn't matter. I also have good wine and meat here." Marquis Jing'an said, "I will hold a banquet to apologize to my nephew."
After speaking, he turned back to look at the guards and maids on the side: "What are you doing standing still? Go down and give me orders. Bring me all the good wine and meat!"
The two maids responded, turned and left.
Marquis Jing'an came forward and sat down on the main seat. He still had a smile on his face, but he felt unhappy in his heart.
"Is my nephew's trip to Chongyi related to the suppression of bandits?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm just accompanying my brother." Shen Lie replied.
"Then you should have seen the scene of suppressing bandits over there, right? Is General Song Lang majestic and killing everyone?" Marquis Jingan said with a smile.
Shen Lie shook his head: "No, they were all dead when I went there, and they were all dead when I came back."
"Ah? Is that nephew scared?"
Shen Lie smiled: "Why, Master Hou thinks I am so timid."
"Hahaha, that's not possible, but speaking of Ruren, why didn't he come with you?"
"We separated in Shoushi. He wants to go back to Yunliang."
Marquis Jing'an nodded: "That's a pity. I haven't seen Ru Ren for a long time."
Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and looked outside the tent.
Dai Yu and Shitou were walking in.
Xia Zhaoyi followed them, paused for a moment, raised his eyes and met Marquis Jing'an's gaze.
Marquis Jingan blinked and looked at the girl blankly.
The tent is huge, and so is the tent door.
The girl was standing a little further to the right. Outside were high-hanging lanterns and dark distant mountains. Her face was whitened, and her black eyes were clear and bright, like autumn water under the moon.
Her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and the small strands of hair on her forehead were blown a bit messy by the wind outside the tent. Her face was quiet, and her eyes were as far-reaching and deep as the mountains behind her.
Marquis Jingan felt a chill rush up his back for no apparent reason, and even his fingertips couldn't help but tremble.
The beautiful concubine who was pouring wine on the side said: "Master Hou?"
"Ah Li," Shen Lie said, "come here."
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi responded with a slight smile.
Everyone in the tent looked at the girl.
The little girl was neither humble nor overbearing, walking quietly.
Shen Lie stood up and took a step to the side to make room for her.
Several captains and military advisors frowned, this was really against the rules.
Marquis Jing'an didn't seem to be offended. He looked away from the girl and looked at the wine cup in front of him, his eyes dazed.
"Master Hou." The concubine shouted again.
"I've seen it somewhere." Marquis Jingan said in a low voice.
"What?"
This look in his eyes seemed familiar. He must have seen it before. If he hadn't been deeply impressed, he wouldn't have felt this way.
"This girl is..." Captain Lin asked Shen Lie.
"My name is A Li," Xia Zhaoyi said, "the pear of Li Hua."
Ah Li?
Marquis Jing'an muttered to himself and looked at her again.
Xia Zhaoyi also raised his head at this time and met his eyes again.
Marquis Jing'an looked at her deeply, but the girl sat quietly all the time, with a plain face. The smile that she had just faced at Shen Lie had disappeared from her face.
Moreover, everyone discovered that her legs, like Shen Lie's, were also crossed.
She is small, and sitting in this posture, her small body is made even smaller by Shen Lie next to her, but her shoulders are straight, like a pine tree that has just sprouted.
"What's your last name?" Marquis Jing'an asked casually.
"My surname is Xia."
"Spring and summer of summer?"
"Yes, that Xia from Duke Dingguo's Mansion."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Lieutenant Lin slapped the table: "I ask you if it is spring and summer. You only need to answer yes or no. How come there are so many words!"
"What, the captain means that the Marquis was interrogating my guest just now?" Shen Lie said immediately.
Marquis Jing'an sat there without speaking, his face turned pale.
He looked at Captain Lin, then at Shen Lie, and finally his eyes fell on the girl.
Lieutenant Lin had killed people and was stained with blood. That roar just now would have made an ordinary child cry.
"Did I say something wrong?" Xia Zhaoyi blinked innocently and looked at Lieutenant Lin, "Why are you so excited when the Dingguo Palace is mentioned?"
