Chapter 273
Everyone walked out of the hall. Ye Xiaozhou was already floating here by the lake. There were three people on the boat, one standing at the bow of the boat, with an ugly face and shouting for the cute boy, and the other one was a soldier, holding a box in his hand, and finally a family member of the boat.
Commander Murong saw a group of people walking out of the hall, regardless of whether he saw Xu Jiaotong or not, immediately raised his hand and waved it. Seeing that everyone refused, he put it down in embarrassment.
The boat leaned against the shore. Before the boat could stand firm, Commander Murong jumped down, stepped forward quickly, waited to get closer, looked around, and asked, "Who is Uncle Xu?"
At this time, his eyes lit up. Seeing Xu Jiaotong huddled behind the man, he shouted, "Jiaotong, look at you, you're too polite. Since my father-in-law has come to Jingyue City, why didn't you tell me earlier? I've prepared a generous gift and come to pay my respects. I'm here in a hurry and I'm not ready, so don't be surprised."
At this time, the family and soldiers also came over. The family was very panicked and said, "Master, I can't stop you, and I dare not offend this military officer, so I have to bring him here."
King Xu Jiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go."
Commander Murong's eyes lit up immediately and he bowed to King Xu Jiao and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm taking the Murong sword, and I have long admired the reputation of King Xu Jiao. I'm very honored to meet today. I've been in a hurry to come down and prepare a small gift to show my heart."
King Xu Jiao looked at the box in the soldier's hand and said lightly: "I have heard of Commander Murong's reputation for a long time. I have always wanted to meet him. But the old man's affairs are complicated and there is no time to spare, so I put it aside. Now Commander Murong is coming to the door, and he is rude. Please, please, please come in."
When Murong Jian heard this, he looked happy and said, "Really, Uncle Xu, you said it a long time ago. If you knew you wanted to see me, I would have come long ago." Then, he looked around and said, "I have been here a few times, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big deal in this backyard. If it weren't for Qi..." He seemed to realize something, and immediately changed his words and said, "If I hadn't heard that my uncle came to Jingyue City today, I would not have come here to pay my respects."
This was full of loopholes, and even Zhang Xiaohua could understand it, and she smiled in her heart: This guy is really a slutty guy.
After hearing this, King Xu Jiao smiled faintly and said, "Since Commander Murong is here, he is a guest. By the way, Commander Murong, meeting today is fate. I will introduce it to you..."
Murong Jian waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't be fine, uncle, they are all their own family, you're welcome."
Having said that, I had already stepped into the hall.
The family had already set up a new wine table in the upper head of the hall, and there were five tables directly above. Maybe it was because of the guidance of King Xu Jiao, or maybe it was because his family had the strength to see. Qin Shiyue's table was placed in the middle, but the newly placed table was next to the middle.
Murong Jian walked up to the front, looked at the wine table with some leftovers in the middle, frowned slightly, and smiled at Xu Jiaowang, "Uncle Xu really knows my heart. My nephew wanted to be polite, but I didn't know that my uncle really treated my nephew as his family. This seat is still left for my uncle. Please invite him to sit down. Although my nephew is a guest from afar, there is no need to be polite from now on."
King Xu Jiao's nose was crooked and said, "You are really not an ordinary second. He had to say embarrassedly: "This, Commander Murong, my family has a VIP coming to my house today. I don't know that Commander Murong is coming today, but he is negligent."
Murong Jian was stunned and said in surprise: "Hey~ There is a distinguished guest, who? Let me pay a visit to you too!"
Qin Shiyue was so angry, uncle, I am right in front of this crowd. Your eyes either look at the beauty or the beauty’s father. How can you pay attention to basic etiquette?
In fact, when Murong Jian came, the seats in the hall must have changed. Outside the hall just now, Xu Jiaowang wanted to introduce Qin Shiyue, but Murong Jian stepped into the hall and cut off his words. When he mentioned it again, Xu Jiaowang felt a little rude to Qin Shiyue.
King Xu Jiao spread his left and right, respectfully signaling to Qin Shiyue, and said, "This is the one from my Tianlong Sect, Lord Qin Shiyue."
Murong Jian had never heard of the name of the Tianlong Sect. The South China Sea Jiao Palace was so obsessed with Xu Jiaotong. He thought that the Tianlong Sect was like the South China Sea Jiao Palace, but they were all small characters in the grass, and how could they compare to his serious court officials? He couldn't help but feel a little bit of contempt. He looked up and down at Qin Shiyue, bowed and said, "My nephew Murong Jian paid homage to Uncle Qin. Although he was the first meeting, he was well-known to Uncle Qin's name and admired him for a long time. By the way, although Uncle Qin is old, his skin is well maintained and he looks very young. I wonder how much Gui Geng is? Do you already know the destiny?"
Qin Shiyue's face turned red and she smiled and said, "Good nephew, your uncle, I just knew my destiny, and I was so comforted to see a good child like you."
Murong Jianxi said: "Is that true, Uncle Qin, you can actually see my essence. You are really a god. Come and sit down, please sit down."
After saying that, Qin Shiyue respectfully sat in the chief.
Everyone in the Three Seas and Seven Waters was stunned, a little at a loss, and a little laughed. Seeing that the two of them were sitting, they had to sit down.
Everyone sat down and started the banquet again. Because outsiders came to the banquet, the scene was not as enthusiastic as before. How could Murong Jian care so much? After eating a few bites of food, he toasted Qin Shiyue and Xu Jiaowang. After a few rounds of wine, he talked too much. It was a pity that Murong Jian's words were all about the government affairs, and his words were filled with the pride and pride of the government people outside. He couldn't talk to Qin Shiyue and Xu Jiaowang at all. Both of them laughed secretly, both of them perfunctorily with this good nephew, waiting for the show to begin.
Sure enough, after a while, Murong Jian couldn't help but look at Xu Jiaotong who was bowing his head next to him, and carefully said, "Uncle Xu, my nephew came to the door several times, but he could not see his uncle's face. This time he came to the door, but he had something to ask for."
King Xu Jiao glanced at Qin Shiyue and thought to himself: Lord Qin, this matter is coming, you can support me.
Qin Shiyue nodded slightly, Xu Jiaowang relieved and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Commander Murong? Just come on."
Seeing that Xu Jiaowang was so excited, Murong Jian was overjoyed and waved his hand to the back. The soldier standing behind him held the small box next to Xu Jiaowang and placed it squarely on the wine table.
Murong Jian smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, since he saw the cute girl, I miss you day and night. I feel that she is not the one whom she doesn't marry in this life. I have always wanted to come to propose marriage, but I have never seen my uncle. Today, things are in a hurry. This is my nephew's engagement ceremony. After today, I will invite my uncle seventh, oh, that is, the garrison of this city, to come to the lobbyist in person. What do you think?"
King Xu Jiao looked at the small box with interest and said, "General Murong, I seem to have heard from someone that you already have a concubine of seven families in your family. How can you still be obsessed with your little girl? Even in this life? Do you marry the baby back to be your main wife or your concubine?"
Murong Jian's face did not flush, his heart kept saying calmly: "Uncle, this is a bad thing. There is no end to love in this world. The concubine I married before was sincere. This time, he married a beautiful child. It cannot be said that he had a lover before, but now he can't fall in love with a beautiful child. Besides, if we have true love between us, the beautiful child will not care about his status. My nephew's wife is the daughter of the Tongzong of Shayu City. She has a noble status, but she is the lord of the backyard. The partial wife is also the daughter of an official, and she is very virtuous. My nephew thinks that if she marry a beautiful child, as a partial wife, she will not be humiliated. What do you think?"
When King Xu Jiao heard this, he laughed in anger and said, "My nephew is really meticulous and has very thoughtful arrangements."
Murong Jian was overjoyed after hearing this, "So, Uncle Xu agreed. The gift box contains one thousand taels of gold tickets, which is a betrothal gift. I also asked my uncle to accept it. This gift is much more than when my nephew married my wife. I hope my uncle knows my nephew's sincerity."
King Xu Jiao laughed to the sky and said, "Mr. Murong, you are really grateful for your feelings. I'm sorry that you respect your daughter and actually gave such a generous gift. It's a pity that the girl has already betrothed others, but Commander Murong is late."
Murong Jian's ugly face turned pale and said, "Did Uncle Xu bully me? My nephew had already inquired about it. The young boy did not betroth others. If he betrothed others, why didn't he tell me about it earlier?"
Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Xu, even if he betrothed others, hasn't he been married yet? Who is the other party? My nephew asked Uncle Qi to take action and go and say, "That guy must have regretted this marriage. Do you think?"
The dishes Zhang Xiaohua almost vomited out, but she couldn't understand them. She obviously refused, but she thought they were in a dilemma.
Seeing Murong Jian retreating without knowing the difficulty, King Xu Jiao couldn't help but feel embarrassed and hesitated: "This..."
At this time, Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "My good nephew, you did this to make your Uncle Xu embarrassed, because this person is far away from the sky and near in front of you."
Murong Jian was stunned and quickly looked around. There were middle-aged and elderly people around him. Then he saw Zhang Xiaohua and Yingfei next to Xu Jiaotong. He couldn't help but ask fiercely: "Uncle Qin said that they were the two people sitting next to Jiaotong? But that young man was just a servant. It shouldn't be. Could it be that ordinary man? This guy is so ordinary that he can't recognize him even if he falls into the crowd. How could Jiaotong fall in love with him? Is this guy's aunts and aunts also a member of the government, so you can't let go of your face? That's why he was reluctant to do so."
Then, he whispered: "If this is the case, why not tell my nephew that there are ten thousand ways to make him regret it. He actually wants to compete with me for a woman. He is so tired of living."
Qin Shiyue smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, no."
Murong Jian was stunned and asked, "Who can that be?"
