Nightwatcher

The sun was gradually moving to the west, Xu Qi'an was wearing an official consort's uniform, and with a few servants, he and his second uncle waited at the gate of the mansion to welcome the guests attending the banquet.

Soon, he saw a group of acquaintances, the magistrate Zhu of Changle County, Li Dianshi, Wang Butou and others.

Xu Qi'an's mind instantly flashed back to the time when he first came to Dafeng, Wang Butou and Li Dianshi were his enlightenment people who listened to music in Goulan, during that time, Lao Wang and Lao Li lost a penny every day.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Ming, pay my respects to Xu Yinluo."

Magistrate Zhu stepped forward quickly, bowing and bowing.

Wang Butou and the others bowed cautiously.

Xu Qi'an greeted him with a smile on his face:

"Why are you still staying in the Changle county government? Old Zhu, the imperial court has supported scholars for a hundred years to let you devote yourself to the society, so don't slack off."

County magistrate Zhu was elated, suppressed the joy in his heart, bowed and said:

"Xu Yinluo taught me a lesson."

After chatting for a while, County Magistrate Zhu led Wang Butou and others into the mansion following Xu's servants.

Old Zhu's pace was about to flutter. He had worked hard in Changle County for many years, but he still could not see the hope of promotion. Xu Yinluo's words just now were intended to help him.

After welcoming everyone from Changle County, Xu Qi'an ushered in the second batch of guests not long after. A large and luxurious carriage was parked on the side of the street. The driver moved a small stool, and three people came down from the carriage one after another——Wang Simu and the two princes of the Wangfu.

"Father is ill and can't go out. Let the three of us, brother and sister, go to congratulate Xu Yinluo on his wedding." Wang Simu bowed to his uncle and nephew.

"Siblings are separated, just call them big brother, please come inside." Xu Qi'an enthusiastically led Wang Simu inside, smiling all over his face:

"Go back and arrange a special seat for your siblings, don't refuse."

Wang Simu was smiling, but her heart sank inexplicably, and she felt that Xu Yinluo's smile was somewhat disturbing and treacherous.

He had just let his servants bring Wang Simu and her two elder brothers into the mansion, when he turned his head, he saw his second uncle welcoming the third group of guests.

Those were the sect masters and sect masters of the Wulin League. Among them, Xiao Yuenu, who was covered in light gauze and with flying skirts, was the most eye-catching. Even without looking at her appearance, her temperament and figure were already top-notch.

After they received the invitation, they rushed to the capital a few days in advance and stayed in the post station in the capital.

These sect masters and sect masters now have official positions. Although they are vain positions without power, with official positions on the surface, they can do things cheaply anywhere and can stay in post stations.

"Senior Kou didn't come?"

Although Xu Qi'an had expected it, he still showed displeasure.

"Senior Kou is in retreat, please come and congratulate Xu Yinluo." Xiao Yuenu said softly.

Xu Qi'an glanced at her, nodded and said:

"Everyone, please!"

He didn't say any more, and asked his servants to lead everyone from the Wulin League into the mansion, because he saw Song Qing and Chu Caiwei of Si Tianjian, and Yang Qianhuan, who had their backs to Xu's mansion, teleported a small distance instead of walking.

After all, turning your back to all living beings is a force, but if you walk backwards, it becomes ridiculous and has no image at all.

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Yang, Caiwei, you are here!"

With a smile on his face, Xu Qi'an greeted him enthusiastically.

Chu Caiwei looked in frequently, and said softly:

"Is the table open?"

Song Qing smiled and said:

"Junior Sister Caiwei has been hungry since last night."

Absolutely, it's exactly the same as Lina's ringtone, did the three of you agree? Xu Qi'an smiled and said:

"Wait for the sunset, wait for the sunset."

Song Qing said in a deep voice:

"Young Master Xu is getting married, why don't you let me give you a gift?"

Do I dare to accept what you send? Either it is a weird alchemy product, or it is a real-life doll. Xu Qi'an is full of troubles, and said with a smile:

"Based on our friendship, Senior Brother Song doesn't need to see outsiders."

Finally it was Yang Qianhuan's turn. He cleared his throat and recited:

"Hand invites the bright moon to pick up the stars, the world"

Before the words fell, Xu Qi'an interrupted him:

"Senior Brother Song, Junior Sister Caiwei, go in, go in! Senior Sister Zhong is waiting for you inside, huh? Isn't this Senior Brother Yang, why are you still sticking there?"

Dog thief, new and old grudges, I'll make it clear with you today, you wait for Yang Qianhuan to swear secretly, and follow Song Qing and Chu Caiwei into the mansion with a flash of light.

After seeing off the disciples of the supervisor, Xu Qi'an looked towards the end of the long street, his face froze, he breathed out slowly, and went up to him.

"Miaozhen, Holy Son, welcome."

Li Miaozhen was wearing a Taoist robe with a sword on her back, and her face was expressionless.

The Holy Son greeted Li Miaozhen with a smile on his face, and congratulated him first, then turned his head and reprimanded Li Miaozhen:

"Junior Sister, who are you showing your ugly face to? Isn't Xu Yinluo's wedding a great joy? Are Xu Yinluo and His Highness Lin'an a match made in heaven? Xu Yinluo just saved your life, and you still It's really ignorant to put on a bad face."

Li Miaozhen glanced at Xu Qi'an and said with a smile:

"Congratulations to Xu Yinluo for embracing the princess!"

She seldom smiles without a smile on her face.

Li Lingsu said solemnly:

"When you turn around and make trouble in the bridal chamber, junior sister should be merciful."

I guessed it right, Li Lingsu and Yang Qianhuan really had bad ideas. Xu Qi'an sneered inwardly, and sent his brothers and sisters into the mansion.

The guests arrived in batches, and the night slowly shrouded.

When the lights first came on, he finally saw Wei Yuan's carriage slowly approaching. The driver was Nangong with a feminine temperament, Jiang Lvzhong Zhang Kaitai and other golden gongs were riding on horseback, and behind them were silver gongs and copper gongs.

Xu Qi'an took a breath and took the initiative to meet him.

Nangong Qianrou parked the carriage on the side of the street, and when she saw him coming, she instinctively moved out of the way.

I can't afford to mess with this guy now.

Xu Qi'an put the stool down, opened the car door, led Wei Yuan out of the car, and said with a smile:

"Wei Gong, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Wei Yuan basically doesn't attend weddings and funerals, but for Xu Qi'an's marriage, he must come.

After Wei Yuan got out of the car, he turned his head and glanced at the compartment behind him.

In the carriage, a cold and picturesque face protruded. She was dressed in men's clothes without makeup, but this did not damage her beauty, but added a bit of neutral charm.

Since ancient times, beautiful women wearing men's clothing have a moving style.

Xu Qi'an's face froze slowly, "Your Majesty?"

He said in his heart that you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, you are not staying in the palace, what kind of wedding are you here for?

This is out of etiquette!

Huaiqing said lightly:

"Lin'an is my favorite sister. On her wedding day, Xu Yinluo seemed unwilling when I came over to ask for a cup of wedding wine?"

It's coming after all, I can't hide it, Xu Qi'an forced a smile:

"Welcome!"

Wei Yuan patted him on the shoulder, speaking slowly, "During the banquet, I will sit near His Majesty."

Xu Qi'an nodded first, and then asked:

"Why?"

Wei Yuan smiled gently, said two words silently, and walked into the mansion with his sleeves fluttering.

Watch a play!

Xu Qi'an suddenly didn't want to send him into the mansion, so he asked his second uncle to do it for him.

After a while, Daoist Jin Lian arrived late with the members of the Tiandihui.

Chu Yuanzhen saw Xu Qi'an's first words:

"I'm going to sit with number one and number two."

Are you here to see the show too? Xu Qi'an cursed in his heart, keeping an elegant and polite smile on his face, and sent the members of the Tiandihui inside.

Then Zhao Shou arrived with the four great scholars from Yunlu Academy.

Xu Qi'an looked at Yang Gong and smiled knowingly:

"Congratulations teacher, you have been promoted to extraordinary."

Yang Gong

Xu Mansion has four courtyards and three halls, which are arranged in different positions according to their status and official positions.

For example, members of the Xu clan are arranged in the hall between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, while officials from Changle County and officials with low official positions are arranged in the outer courtyard.

Those above rank six are arranged in the east courtyard of the inner courtyard, and the gongs and silver gongs used by watchmen are arranged in the west courtyard, adjacent to the members of the Wulin League.

As for Xu Qi'an's relatives and friends, they sat in the inner hall of the core.

There are five tables in the inner hall.

At the same table were Wei Yuan, Nangong Qianrou, Jiang Luzhong and other golden gongs. Song Tingfeng Zhu Guangxiao made an exception to sit with the golden gongs because of his deep friendship with Xu Qi'an.

As for Li Yuchun, for his physical and mental health, Xu Qi'an was sent to the west courtyard to sit with all the silver gongs and gongs.

At one table was the Xu family, second uncle, aunt, Ji Baiqing, brother Xu Yuanshuang, and sister Xu Lingyue.

Sitting at a table were the four great scholars of Yunlu Academy, Zhao Shou, Xu Erlang, Song Qing and Yang Qianhuan.

Daoist Jinlian, Asuro, Master Hengyuan, Chu Yuanzhen, Miao Youfang, Li Lingsu, and Lina's brother Mosang sat at a table.

It is worth mentioning that after the war, Mosang was awarded an official position by the court and was unwilling to return to southern Xinjiang. He is currently serving in the Imperial Army.

The last table was amazing, Huaiqing, Zhong Li, Li Miaozhen, Mu Nanzhi, Lina, Chu Caiwei, Wang Simu.

Wang Simu looked left and right, feeling that he was out of tune with these women.

Li Lingsu laughed like crazy in his heart, thinking that this bastard Xu Ningyan actually arranged me with these women, he thought he didn't die fast enough.

He originally thought that Xu Ning would send him and Brother Yang to a secluded corner at the banquet, and he was ready to go to the "home court" with the cheek.

How could the Holy Son let go of such a good opportunity? The happiest thing in life is to sit with his confidante at the wedding of the "enemy" and stir up the flames.

The atmosphere in the hall is a bit weird.

Xu Erlang questioned via voice transmission:

"Brother, why do you arrange Simu next to your sisters-in-law?"

"I always need a clever person to make muddy mud." Xu Qi'an replied like this.

"Father, why do I feel that the atmosphere is not right?"

Nangong Qianrou glanced at the women at that table, and then at the other tables. He found that Li Lingsu, Chu Yuanzhen, Xu Erlang, Miao Youfang and others would sneak glances at that table from time to time, with secret poking eyes hidden in their eyes. expect.

Wei Yuan smiled.

"Second brother, what's the matter with these girls?"

Ji Baiqing's eyes were vicious, just looking at the expressionless faces of the women at the table, she knew something was wrong.

Well, it's not all expressionless, the little girls in southern Xinjiang and the girls in yellow skirts, they eat boldly, and their mouths are full of oil.

In addition, she wondered why Mu Nanzhi also sat down.

Shouldn't Xiaoru's sworn sister sit at their table?

Uncle Xu thought for a while, and Transsion replied:

"This, this

"A few of them are quite close to Ning Yan, um, including His Majesty."

Ji Baiqing suddenly realized.

The Great Confucianists in Yunlu Academy are the most normal, they should drink and eat.

"Hey, there are still two positions vacant."

Li Lingsu glanced at the two vacant seats beside Li Miaozhen, and said with a smile: "Ning Yan, whose seats are these?"

As the groom, Xu Qi'an was sitting beside Wei Yuan at this time, upon hearing this, he replied:

"Oh, it belongs to the national teacher. She guesses it will be here soon."

Just as he was speaking, a golden light descended from the sky, floated into the inner hall, and turned into Luo Yuheng's appearance.

Beautiful and beautiful, like a fairy.

Huaiqing, Li Miaozhen, Xu Lingyue, Zhong Li and the others glanced lightly at the terrestrial gods, but did not speak.

The smile on Li Lingsu's face inevitably widened. He was even more enthusiastic than the groom. He hurriedly stood up, with the corners of his mouth cracked to the base of his ears, and said:

"Master, come, sit down!"

After Luo Yuheng took his seat, he glanced at Xu Qi'an and said nothing.

Seeing that everyone was here, Li Lingsu cleared his throat.

Yang Qianhuan at the other table received the horn to enter the palace, and sighed loudly:

"Ning Yan is a romantic young man with a good-looking talent. Now that he is married to Lin'an, I don't know how many resentful wives will cry in secret, heartbroken, poor, poor!"

After Yang Qianhuan, the leader of the group, finished speaking, Li Lingsu, the make-up player, put down his glass and retorted:

"Brother Yang, what did you say?

"Ning Yan has a deep affection for His Highness Lin'an, and is dedicated to his love. Other women cry when they cry. What does it have to do with Ning Yan? They are all vulgar fans who want to climb high."
