Chapter 64 Xin'er's Invitation
Chapter 64 Xin'er's Invitation
"Master Zhi, I have lived in seclusion with my father and mother for many years. I am not familiar with worldly affairs and I don't know what other people in the Gongsun family are like. But I guarantee that Master Shouli is definitely not the kind of person Master Zhi said."
"So what kind of person do you think he is?"
"I can't say for sure about this matter, so you can do it yourself. Okay, let me introduce them to you again. This one is Le Zheng's uncle Li, this one is Master Zhi, and the other three are his disciples. The eldest disciple is Le Zheng Yuhua, the second disciple is Le Zheng Qiming, and the youngest disciple is Le Zheng Shuiling. This is my sister Yaoyao, the proprietress of this restaurant, Lian Yi."
Lian Yi hurriedly stood up and saluted. Yaoyao had made him suffer before, so she didn't have so many etiquettes to him, and she hated these etiquettes the most. She always thought that when you meet, just say hello. If you don't know each other, just introduce yourself. You salute and I salute, why do you have to be so polite?
"Master Shouli, you won't forget me, right?"
"Don't dare."
Thinking back to when she got him covered in stinky footwash water, he felt so embarrassed and at a loss. Fortunately, he was alone at the time. If this matter were to spread, it would definitely affect the harmony between the Gongsun family and the Mu family.
However, yesterday was not just embarrassing. On the contrary, I had a good experience. If Yaoyao had not deliberately made things difficult for me, I would not have been able to see that lady.
"Why don't you see Miss Xin'er?"
"Oh, you've only seen her once, and you're already thinking about her? Our hearts are naturally with the Mu Mansion. Besides, there are so many people in the city now, how can we leave our precious heart on the street without any worries?"
"Miss Yaoyao is absolutely right."
"They keep calling her Xin'er, could it be Mu Xin?"
Thinking of this, the bracelet reacted again, making Le Zheng Yuhua want to meet this Xin'er.
"Look at me, I forgot the important things. Thanks to you for reminding Xin'er. Master Shouli happens to be here too, so I will give you Xin'er's invitation as well."
As he spoke, Qin Chu took out a few invitations from his arms. The thin invitations were stacked together. Le Zhengli took a sidelong glance and saw that there were six in total.
"Le Zheng gets four and Gongsun Shou gets one. Whose is the remaining one? Could it be mine?
Le Zhengli knew that this post was brought by Qin Chu, which meant it was prepared in advance. If it wasn't strange to have the four of them, it was amazing to have him.
First, how did they know they would come? Second, even if they knew they were traveling together, how did they know they would travel with them? Unless they had prepared for the journey from the city gate, they would have predicted it. Le Zhengli could only wait until she finished distributing the gifts to find out whether it was his, so he waited quietly.
I don’t know if Qin Chu was aware of Le Zhengli’s thoughts or if it was really because of the order of seniority, but he actually handed the invitation to Le Zhengli first.
"If Uncle Master Li could come, Xin'er would be very happy."
Le Zhengli looked at Qin Chu. The perfect smile on her face was both polite and seemed to tell Le Zhengli that they were fearless.
"Why not have good food and good wine?" Le Zhengli took the invitation and opened it. His name was even written on it. "I didn't expect Miss Xin'er to be so thoughtful that she even prepared my invitation."
Everyone present was not stupid and understood what Le Zhengli said. Indeed, since Qinchu knew Le Zhengzhi, Le Zhengyuhua, Le Zhengqiming, and Le Zhengshuiling, it was not surprising that Xiner knew them. It was reasonable to invite them after Qinchu invited them, not to mention that the mysterious lady was suspected to be Miss Xiner.
As for Gongsun Shouli, from what he just said, he had also met this Xin'er, so it was normal to invite him. But Le Zhengli was different. Even if he knew this Xin'er because he lived next to the Mu family before, how could he know whether he would come today? So everyone was waiting for Qin Chu's answer.
"Xin'er learned that Master Uncle Li would come with us. I was deeply cared for by Master Uncle Li and my ancestors and master in the past, so I just wanted to do my best to be a good host."
"The Mu family is really amazing." Le Zhengli picked up the wine glass, toasted first, and said: "Thank you Miss Xin'er first."
"Qin Chudai Xin'er received it."
Facing their tacit conversation, although Le Zheng Shui Ling was curious, after all, judging from Le Zheng Li's performance, he must know a lot about the Mu family, but now was not the time to ask questions. She glanced at Gongsun Shouli, smiled sinisterly, and ran over to snatch the invitation from Qin Chu's hand.
"Isn't it Miss Qinchu who is inviting us? Miss Xin'er's banquet will be held next time, and we will definitely go, but we can't let Miss Qinchu's efforts go to waste. Look, how can we let this new guest stand there? Come on, come on, Master Gongsun, please take a seat."
"Thank you."
Gongsun Shouli was a little overwhelmed by Le Zheng Shuiling's sudden enthusiasm.
"Why should we be polite? I, Shui Ling, am a rude person and don't like etiquette. Etiquette is a poison that hinders fate, so let's not talk about it. Today, we are just idle people eating and drinking together. Let's put aside Gongsun, Le Zheng, Daomeng, and the rules and etiquette, and just eat and drink happily."
As she spoke, Le Zheng Shuiling picked up Le Zheng Yuhua's bowl. Originally, these were the bowls and chopsticks of Le Zhengzhi and Le Zheng Biming, but they were all covered with food residues. Only Le Zheng Yuhua's looked clean.
"Master Shouli, Shui Ling will offer you a bowl first."
Shouli had no time to stop her. Le Zheng Shuiling gulped down the whole bowl. Now he had to drink some too.
Lian Yi knew that Le Zheng Shui Ling was taking the opportunity to force him to drink, so she stood up and walked out, calling the waiter over and saying, "Prepare some clean bowls and chopsticks, and bring up a few pots of wine and some side dishes."
When Yaoyao heard this, she knew what Lezheng Shuiling was thinking. Since it was going to be fun, she came over to join in the fun.
"Yaoyao also offers a bowl to you, young master."
"Demon..."
Qin Chu stepped back a few steps, glanced at Le Zheng Yuhua, and shook his head helplessly.
"I just wanted to ask Master Shouli to come up so that you can have a chat. Now that's good."
"Shui Ling doesn't seem to like people from the Gongsun family."
"I have also heard that the Gongsun family is arrogant and domineering. Many Taoists dare not speak out, but Miss Shui Ling is a very honest person. However, Master Shouli is definitely not the kind of person that Taoists say he is."
"Rumors on the street are often exaggerated. If one person is arrogant and domineering, as long as he uses the name Gongsun, it is common for the entire Gongsun family to be said to be arrogant and domineering. It is also possible that most of the people in the Gongsun family are arrogant and domineering, and we cannot rule out the possibility that there are other humble Gongsun family members. Yuhua naturally understands this."
"Master Yuhua is really a wise man."
"But there is one thing Yuhua really doesn't understand."
"What's the matter?"
"Miss Yaoyao's words, maybe I and the Mu family have known each other for a long time?"
Qin Chu thought back and realized that Yaoyao had indeed warned Le Zheng Yuhua to be careful in the Mu family, and he couldn't help but frown.
"We don't really know Master Yuhua, we just know that there is someone like you, the one she has been waiting for. You are the one she is waiting for, and you are the one we are waiting for, so there are many people who want to meet you. As for whether you know each other, the story between you two should not be told by outsiders like us who don't know the inside story."
"Then how can I meet her? Attend her party?"
"Master Yuhua seems to have misunderstood."
"What do you mean? Isn't the person waiting for me that Xin'er girl?"
"Yes and no, no and yes." Qin Chu couldn't help but sigh and walked towards the balcony. Le Zheng Yuhua followed her. She turned around and continued, "We can't even explain what's going on here. However, it's not difficult to see her. The difficult part is that she can't tell you anything. As the saying goes: Mirror images in water, come and go without intention."
