"Brother Xu, you came very early too." Bai Yan greeted with a smile.
"Today is my brother-in-law's promotion banquet. How dare you not come earlier? I hope you will be promoted more in the future. You don't need to be promoted. Just give me a seventh-grade petty official." Xu Sang said carelessly.
His father was the general magistrate of Yanzhou City, but he was only a sixth-rank official and could not enter the main hall here.
"Brother Xu is a talented person, both civil and military, so why do you need me to support him? What's more, it's hard to say whether the marriage between Miss Qin and I will work out," Bai Yan responded.
"Is it possible that Miss Qin wants to break the contract? Miss Qin sent us separate invitations and said what she would hold. Could it be that her family wanted to regret the engagement after they were promoted?" Xu Sang asked.
"Miss Qin has great ambitions, and it's normal to have other ideas." Bai Yan responded with a smile.
Not far away, Qin Mo Sheng and his best friend Chu Xiang Ning were looking at Bai Yan.
Beside, the maid kept reporting.
"This guy is so shameless. My engagement with him has ended, and he still wants my father to support his friends. He is really shameless." Qin Mosheng said angrily: "Go and invite them to the back garden."
The maid responded and left quickly.
"Sister, have you really met the God of Fire? Is the God of Fire really called a cup bra?" Chu Xiangning didn't believe Qin Mo Sheng's words.
"This is natural. No one can change the engagement between Yan Sheng and I." Qin Mosheng said swornly.
"But you have an engagement with Bai Yan. Although he is a dandy, how can the engagement be canceled at will? Moreover, I heard that Bai Yan did a great thing in Lucheng and was deeply supported by the local people. His father also praised him.
." Chu Xiangning persuaded.
She has much better information than Qin Mo Sheng. She knows that Bai Yan is cleaning up houses in Lucheng, selling grain at low prices, and returning people's houses.
"He is just a playboy who does all kinds of evil. Since you think he is good, why not marry him." Qin Mosheng joked.
"Sister, please don't talk nonsense. My father has to make the final decision regarding the marriage." Chu Xiangning waved her hands in shock.
Looking at Bai Yan's handsome appearance and listening to those deeds, I felt that Bai Yan was a good man.
It's just that she is a traditional girl and has never considered marriage on her own.
"I'm kidding you. This guy is very bad. If anyone marries her, it will be really bad luck." Qin Mo Sheng pulled Chu Xiangning towards the back garden.
Today, the Qin Mansion banquet was divided into three parts according to the age of men, women and children.
The back garden was specially used by Qin Mo Sheng to recruit wealthy young masters from various families.
By the time Qin Mo Sheng and the others appeared, they were already in the dozens.
In addition to Bai Yan, Bai Xu also arrived at the Bai family and was chatting with several scholars.
As soon as Qin Mo Sheng appeared, she became the center of attention and attracted everyone's attention. Not because of her beauty, nor because of her status as host, but because of her dress.
"Hey, my sister-in-law hasn't married Brother Bai Yan yet, so why did she dress up as a woman? Could it be that my sister-in-law is so hungry and thirsty that she can't wait to consummate the marriage with me, Brother Bai Yan?" Xu Sang started teasing when he saw Qin Mo Sheng.
.
"Xu Sang, watch your mouth." Qin Mosheng said angrily.
This one sounds like a sister-in-law, which is very harsh.
"Why are you so shy, Miss Qin? This outfit of yours is really stunning. It makes our hearts flutter. It's really an advantage for Bai Yan."
"That's right, it's a pity that my family has little contact with Magistrate Qin, otherwise we would have come to propose marriage early and marry Miss Qin."
"Bai Yan, you and Miss Qin have been engaged for so long, why don't you marry Miss Qin quickly? Isn't it a waste of natural resources to leave such a delicate flower unused?"
Several other dudes started teasing him one after another.
Some people are dissatisfied that Qin Zhifu has been promoted to three levels in a row, and the villain has succeeded.
Some people knew that the Qin family was going to break off the engagement and deliberately provoked Bai Yan to see Bai Yan make a fool of himself.
Others were also whispering and talking about Qin Mosheng's dress.
Girls and women dress differently. Qin Mo Sheng's dress is a typical woman's dress, which will inevitably arouse discussion.
Qin Mo Sheng was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She wanted to tell these people that she was now a married woman. But even if she told these people about these playboys, they would not believe her and would only get worse.
"When the imperial edict arrives, how dare you still tease me like this?" Qin Mo Sheng groaned angrily in his heart.
"Today is a banquet hosted by the Qin Mansion, and Miss Qin is the host. Isn't it inappropriate to speak like this?"
"Do you think you don't take Miss Qin seriously, or do you think you don't take Magistrate Qin seriously?"
Several young men and women stood up to defend Qin Mo Sheng.
One person pointed at Bai Yan and said, "Bai Yan, you are engaged to Miss Qin after all, so do you condone these people's verbal abuse?"
Bai Yan looked at this person, he recognized him, Qi Wenjie, his father was a subordinate of the Qin Prefect.
"What Young Master Qi is saying is wrong. My family is a merchant. Which of these young men is not more noble than me? How can they listen to me? What's more, if Miss Qin wants to cancel our engagement, we will probably become strangers in the future." Bai Yan said calmly.
said.
Everyone suddenly showed a look of disgust. They all heard that the Qin family was going to break off the engagement, but neither party acknowledged it.
Bai Yan said it directly, which was acknowledging the truth.
Many people's eyes changed when they looked at Qin Mosheng. To break off the engagement at this time would be to worship someone higher than others and betray one's trust.
Qin Mo Sheng was also extremely embarrassed. He glared at Bai Yan and said coldly: "I will not marry someone who beats his brother and wastes his mother, who is unfaithful and unfilial."
"Exactly, I heard that Mr. Bai has been very powerful recently. He not only beat his younger brother, killed his uncle, but also deposed his own mother. It is really unheard of. How could Miss Qin marry such a person?" Qi Wenjie said
.
Hearing this, all the people, young and old, began to discuss it.
After receiving Bai Xu's confirmation, everyone secretly smacked their lips.
"Brother, what a cowhide!" Xu Sang gave Bai Yan a thumbs up.
He is also a stepmother, and he has long been dissatisfied with her stepmother. But he has never dared to think about getting rid of her stepmother.
"This is my family matter, not something to talk about. Today is Lord Qin's promotion, and Miss Qin also has arrangements. Don't ruin the pleasure of Miss Qin and everyone else." Bai Yan said lightly.
Do you think you are so arrogant that you still compromise? You are still far behind in a fight with me.
Qin Mo Sheng snorted proudly and said: "Everyone, we really can't interfere with other people's family affairs. I invite you all to come today. First, I have just arrived in Yanzhou City and want to get to know you. Furthermore, I heard that you are all talented.
Outstanding, I want to see it. I wonder if it is possible?"
"I heard that Miss Qin is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is our honor to compete with Miss Qin. I wonder how Miss Qin wants to compete?"
Someone agreed on the spot.
"I have prepared some lottery prizes here. Whoever can win can take it away to entertain everyone. As for what to compete with, it is up to everyone."
Qin Mo Sheng asked someone to bring over several boxes, which contained jewelry and swords, all of which were of fine quality.
Everyone immediately became interested. Bai Xu stood among the crowd, his eyes shining.
"How about comparing chess skills? This is something that both men and women love." Qi Wenjie suggested.
