Chitose words

Chapter 129 Silence is golden
The sky is clear, the autumn air is crisp, and the Mid-Autumn Festival birthday banquet of the Governor's Mansion is approaching as scheduled.

That day at Princess Pingyang's Qiuyue Banquet, Xie Zhao had already managed to trick Bai Ruzhu, the concubine of the Bai family.

Because there was a family banquet in the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Bai Mansion, the birthday banquet of Governor Bai Mengxian was changed to ten minutes at noon that day.

The biggest surprise for Xie Zhao, Ling Hue and Han Changsheng after they arrived at Zhaoge City was that they somehow boarded the "broken ship" of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion.

So on this day, they naturally and happily decided to hide in the city and follow the crowd. As the younger generation of the Li family, they went to the banquet with the eldest son Li Suining and the second young lady Li Suixin of the Li family.

It's not eye-catching to go in like this.

In this regard, Xie Zhao's original words were: "Sure enough, good people will be rewarded! An An is our lucky star!"

Han Changsheng nodded seriously with deep understanding.

Their luck is indeed good.

Originally, they all thought that this trip to Zhaoge would inevitably involve a night visit to the Bai Dadu Governor's Mansion, which would be as difficult as venturing into a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

Unexpectedly, he rescued Yu An'an in Pingzhou City and agreed to Mrs. Yu's request to take Yu An'an with her. There would be such an opportunity later - the childhood relationship between Yu An'an and the Li family was so close that it made him fight all the time. Li Suhe, who made up his mind to regret his marriage, felt very guilty.

In short, regardless of whether Li Suhe was taking advantage of An An or making a show of it, at least on the surface he really treated Yu An An as a righteous daughter.

They were treated politely and politely, so much so that they could justifiably follow the children of the Li family when they went out as guests.

After hearing this, Yu Anan just pursed her lips and smiled secretly, not taking any credit.

Until they actually followed the Li Suining brothers and sisters and swaggered into the Governor's Mansion, they still felt that everything was as easy as a dream.

The birthday banquet in the Governor's Mansion was not a low-key one.

To put it bluntly, today is just a day for Governor Bai Mengxian to show off his status in the court and accept congratulatory gifts in a legitimate manner.

Because Xie Zhao and others were traveling with Li Suining and others, the garden they were taken to was the "Lotus Garden", the courtyard where the young masters and ladies of the powerful eunuch families in Zhaoge sat down.

In fact, they are not in the same place as the "adults" in each family.

Not only are they not in the same place, but the locations of the two gardens are completely opposite in the Dudu Mansion.

If they only stayed in the "Lotus Garden", they would have no chance to meet Governor Bai.

"I can't go on like this!"

Han Changsheng saw Li Suining and Li Suixin chatting enthusiastically with their acquaintances from Zhaoge City, and did not pay attention to them.So, I took the time to complain to Xie Zhao and Ling in a low voice:

"There's no way we can waste time here! Look at what nonsense they are talking about.

——Which family has an adult who dotes on concubines and destroys his wife regardless of morality, which family has a superb aunt who can win over people's hearts, which family's legitimate son takes action to treat the concubines obediently, and which family's concubine has a young lady who climbed up a high branch and robbed her. My sister-in-law’s fiancé.
What kind of nonsense is this?Hearing it too much makes my heart dirty! "

Han Changsheng urged quietly as he geared up.

"We are here to do important things, not to listen to these trivial gossips."

Oh open?

Xie Zhao was in awe, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"... In my lifetime, I never thought that I would hear such words from your mouth, Young Master Han.

Not to mention, it’s really like ‘I’ve been separated for three days, so I’ll look at each other with admiration’. "

Han Changsheng made a "cut" sound and said with a vicious meaning:
"Did you just realize that? I have grown up a long time ago. I found that Zhaoge's gossip is really boring!
It looks earth-shattering, but in fact it doesn't stir up any excitement at all. It's simply boring! "

This was obviously because he had been staying at the foot of the Shentai Palace Mountain for many days, but in the end he didn't wait for Shen Wei to ask Lu Shangque for the "unparalleled battle", so he had been holding back his idle energy these days, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. .

Xie Zhao and Ling You looked at each other with a smile, and then shook their heads in unison.

Although Han Changsheng said harsh words this time, but if there is such a grand event next time, I'm afraid he will still fight against the wall and not look back, trying his best to get a look.

Xie Zhao's eyes inadvertently passed over the rich and well-dressed descendants of the Zhaoge family in the garden.

When she went out today, she still wore the mask that covered most of her face, and wore an ordinary set of ready-made clothes sent by Li Mansion.

With such a mask that hides the head and tail, and the particularly eye-catching blue-black "birthmark" on the exposed half of the chin, Xie Zhao is like a weirdo who is out of place in this garden.

Almost every young man and woman attending the banquet in the courtyard would look at her sideways when they passed her.

Whenever this happened, Ling You would always block Xie Zhao's inquisitive gaze with a cold face and a calm expression.

But Xie Zhao didn't seem to care much, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

She didn't feel dissatisfied, she was carefree, let alone angry.

It seemed that she didn't find those looks that were filled with disgust, sympathy, contempt, pity, or amusement very offensive or uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Xie Zhao actually enjoyed the scenery in the garden with great interest.

She watched with interest the insinuations and ingratiations among the distinguished guests.

Not to mention, Xie Zhao has indeed been to many places in his life.But in Bai Mengxian's private residence, it was really the first time she came back to "a big girl getting into a sedan chair".

It is said that more than 800 years ago, the Bai family was a famous water bandit in the Minghe generation.

Later, when the world was in turmoil and war, he started his career as a soldier.

The ancestors of the Bai family had accumulated a staggering amount of wealth in the world before the founding of Tianchen.

Now that I see the gardening construction and rare plants and trees in this private residence, I know that this statement is not entirely false.

This Minghe Bai family is really rich and charming.Xie Zhao turned back and said to Yu An'an, who was still a little uneasy when he came to such a powerful and powerful family for the first time:

"An'an, you will follow Miss Li Er later. Don't leave her side easily. Wait for us to come back and then leave together."

Yu Anan knew early on that they had something big to do today, so he was always worried about them.

At this time, the little girl was inevitably a little nervous, but she still managed to stay calm and said:

"I know, Azhao, you don't have to worry about me, I'll be right next to Suixin and I won't run around even half a step."

Xie Zhao raised one corner of his lips in an unceremonious manner, his long black feather-like eyelashes drooped down, and his mouth was not straight, "You're so good."

Then, she calmly raised her eyes, exchanged glances with Ling You and Han Changsheng, and walked away leisurely.

When passing by Li Suixin, she did not forget to say hello generously:
"Second Miss, I just passed by the garden and saw what seemed to be a huge lotus pond over there.

Although most lotus flowers have faded in autumn, I have always loved lotus flowers and wanted to take a look. "

Li Suixin was slightly startled, then nodded and agreed with a smile without much thought.

"Yes, I heard that the lotus pond in the Governor's Mansion is a rare species from overseas. Miss Xie is very discerning.

But we are foreigners, so Miss Xie can just enjoy the lotus pond near the lotus pond, but don't go too far and get lost. "

Xie Zhao nodded with a smile, and agreed with an obedient look on his face. He also accepted Li Suixin's compliment about her "good vision" without any guilt.

Then, the old god wandered away.

Han Changsheng rolled his eyes and thought of the reason.

So he walked a few steps not far away to Li Suining, the eldest son of the Li family, frowned and asked quietly with a troubled expression:
"My lord, please come to Jianghu for help. Do you know where the hut in the governor's mansion is?"

Li Suining frowned slightly.

"Is it possible that Young Hero Han has abdominal pain? Is it serious? Do you need me to find a servant to send Young Hero back home to rest first?"

what?
Send him away?
Of course it won't work!
Han Changsheng blushed and waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's not serious, it's not serious, it's just internal anxiety."

"That's good."

Li Suining breathed a sigh of relief and said politely:

"After leaving the lotus garden, turn left and go about [-] steps to the southwest. There is a mud-red bamboo building there, which is the nearest court room in the outer courtyard."

Han Changsheng clasped his hands into fists with a grateful look on his face, then lifted up his skirt and left without saying a word.

Not to mention, with his anxious and anxious look, he was quite anxious.

God knows that Han Changsheng didn't act like one, but he was so embarrassed that he couldn't stand it anymore!
——He regretted extremely that he had found such an embarrassing reason.

Why is it that Xie Zhao is the "elegant" person who appreciates lotus, but he chose the "elegant person" who is anxious?
hateful!

Hastily!
She actually tricked her again!

Ling You followed Han Changsheng, a man of few words, slightly cupped his hands, and said to Li Suining concisely:

"I'll go see him."

Li Suining would not doubt Lao Jun, who was always calm and polite, and talented as a young man. He nodded repeatedly to signal Ling Shaoxia to walk slowly.

So just like that, the three people left the Lotus Garden where there were many guests one after another for reasons that were not too abrupt but also reasonable.

Then, they all met in an artificial bamboo forest outside the park.

The three of them have been traveling together in the world for more than a year. At this time, there is almost no need to talk nonsense.

The group of people moved in tandem with each other in tacit understanding, specifically choosing a quiet and uninhabited place, and walked toward the southeast of the Governor's Mansion.

——This was also something Xie Zhao had just picked out freshly from Li Suining in the carriage on the way.

Today, the main banquet hall of the Governor's Palace is located in the "Cypress Garden" southeast of the Governor's Palace.

That's where Li Suhe, the admiral of the Nine Sects, and other important ministers of the court and the noble family heads were sitting today.

In this case, I think that the head of the Bai family and the governor, Bai Mengxian, must also entertain guests in the "Bayuan".

On the way, Xie Zhao did not forget his instructions.

“Let’s make a deal first, don’t be impulsive if you see Bo Meng later.

This metropolitan governor holds a high position and is by no means an easy person to get along with, so don’t rush to ask some questions.

Otherwise, even if you reveal your trump card first, the other party may not buy it back and tell you the information you want. "

Although Ling You was a little stubborn in his bones, he was not the right person. He nodded and said calmly:
"clear."

Han Changsheng walked as fast as flying and asked in a low voice:
"What about me? What about me? What do I need to pay attention to?"

Xie Zhao glanced at him with a complicated expression in his busy schedule, and said softly and thoughtfully:

"As for you, Young Master Han, please keep your mouth shut. Silence is golden."

Han Changsheng: "."
