Chapter 273 2
Everyone walked out of the hall. There was already a leaf boat floating towards the lake. There were three people on the boat. One was Commander Murong, who was standing on the bow of the boat with an ugly face and shouted "Jiaotong". The other one behind him was a soldier holding a hand. A box, and finally a family manning a boat.
When Commander Murong saw a group of people walking out of the hall, regardless of whether he saw Xu Jiaotong or not, he immediately raised his hands and waved them. When everyone didn't respond, he put them down in embarrassment.
The boat reached the shore. Before the boat could reach a stable position, Commander Murong jumped out and walked forward quickly. When he got closer, he looked around and asked, "Who is Uncle Xu?"
At this moment, his eyes lit up and he saw Xu Jiaotong huddled behind others. He shouted, "Jiaotong, look at you, you are too polite. Since your father-in-law has come to Jingyue City, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Me? I’ve prepared generous gifts and come to see you. Don’t be surprised if I come in a hurry and lack preparation."
At this time, the family and soldiers also came over. The family was very panicked and said: "Master, I can't stop him, and I don't dare to offend this military master, so I have to bring him here."
King Xu Jiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can go."
Commander Murong's eyes immediately lit up and he saluted King Xu Jiao: "Uncle Xu, I'm Murong Jian. I have admired the reputation of King Xu Jiao for a long time. It's a great honor to meet you today. In the rush to come down, I prepared a small gift to show my sincerity. "
King Xu Jiao looked at the box in the soldier's hand, and said calmly: "I have heard of Commander Murong's reputation for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet him. However, the old man has complicated affairs and has no time to spare, so he put it aside. Now that Commander Murong is here, it is I'm sorry, please, please come inside."
After hearing this, Murong Jian's face lit up with joy and said: "It's true, Uncle Xu, if you had told me earlier, if I had known you wanted to see me, I would have been here a long time ago." Then, he looked around and said, "I'm here too. After a few times, 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 at this point, and immediately changed his mind and said, "If I hadn't heard that uncle came to Jingyue City today, I don’t have a chance to come here to see him either.”
This statement was full of loopholes, even Zhang Xiaohua understood it clearly, and smiled in her heart: This guy is really good at it.
After hearing this, King Xu Jiao smiled faintly and said: "Since Commander Murong is here, he is a guest. By the way, Commander Murong, it is fate that we meet today. Let me introduce you..."
Murong Jian waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Goodbye, uncle, we are all members of our family, you are not welcome."
Having said that, I have already stepped into the hall.
A new wine table has been set up by family members at the upper end of the hall, and there are exactly five tables directly above it. Perhaps because of King Xu Jiao's advice, or because his family members were discerning, Qin Shiyue's table was placed in the middle, but the new table was placed next to the middle.
Murong Jian was not polite. He walked to the front and looked at the wine table with some leftovers in the middle. He frowned slightly and turned back to King Xu Jiao with a smile: "Uncle Xu really knows my heart. My nephew wanted to be polite. But I don’t know that my uncle really regards his nephew as one of his own family members. This seat is reserved for my uncle. Please come and take a seat. Although my nephew is a guest from afar, there is no need to be polite from now on."
King Xu Jiao had a crooked nose. He said you are second-rate, but you are really not an ordinary second-rate. He had to say awkwardly: "Well, Commander Murong, I have a distinguished guest coming to my house today. I didn't know that Commander Murong was also coming today, but he was being negligent." ”
Murong Jian was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Hey~ there is another distinguished guest, who is it? Let my nephew also pay his respects!"
Qin Shiyue was so angry, uncle, I am right in front of this crowd. Your eyes are either looking at beautiful women or their fathers. How can you pay attention to basic etiquette?
In fact, as soon as Murong Jian came, the seats in the hall must have changed. Just outside the hall, King Xu Jiao wanted to introduce Qin Shiyue, but Murong Jian stepped into the hall and cut off his words. Mentioning it again at this time already made King Xu Jiao feel a little rude to Qin Shiyue.
King Xu Jiao stood on the left and right sides, respectfully motioned to Qin Shiyue, and said: "This is the person from my Tianlong Sect, Mr. Qin Shiyue and Qin."
Murong Jian had never heard of the name of Tianlong Sect. It was because of his admiration for Xu Jiaotong that he paid attention to the Nanhai Jiao Palace. He thought that the Tianlong Sect was just like the Nanhai Jiao Palace. They were just small characters in the wild. How could they compare? A serious court official like him? He couldn't help but feel a little scornful. He looked at Qin Shiyue up and down, raised his hands and saluted: "My nephew Murong Jian paid homage to Uncle Qin. Although it was the first time I met him, I still remember Uncle Qin's name like thunder. I have admired him for a long time. By the way, Uncle Qin." Although he is old, his skin is well maintained and he looks very young. I wonder how old you are? Do you already know your destiny?"
A blush appeared on Qin Shiyue's face, and she said with a smile: "Good nephew, your uncle has just learned about his destiny. I am so relieved to see such a good child like you."
Murong Jian said happily: "Really, Uncle Qin, you can actually see my true nature. I am truly a god. Come and take a seat. Please take a seat."
After saying that, the respectful Qing Qin Shiyue took the seat of chief.
Everyone in Sanhai Qishui was stunned, a little at a loss, and some were laughing inwardly. Seeing the two people sitting down, they had no choice but to sit down too.
Everyone sat down and started the table again. Because there were outsiders at the table, the scene was not as lively as before. How could Murong Jian control so much? After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he toasted to Qin Shiyue and King Xu Jiao. After a few rounds of drinking, he started to talk more. It was a pity that Murong Jian's words were all about the government, and his words were full of the officialdom. People's pride and pride are completely different from Qin Shiyue and King Xu Jiao. They both laughed secretly in their hearts and just waited for the good show to begin with their good nephew.
Sure enough, after a while, Murong Jian couldn't help but look at Xu Jiaotong, who was bowing his head in silence next to him. He considered his words and said: "Uncle Xu, my nephew has come to visit several times, but he has never been able to see his face. This time, he came here specially. But I have something important to ask for."
King Xu Jiao glanced at Qin Shiyue and thought to himself: Mr. Qin, if this matter comes up, you can support me.
Qin Shiyue nodded slightly. King Xu Jiao felt relieved and asked with a smile: "If Commander Murong has anything to do, just tell me."
Murong Jian was overjoyed when he saw King Xu Jiao's straightforward question. He waved his hand behind him. The soldier standing behind him took the small box in his hand to King Xu Jiao and placed it squarely on the wine table.
Murong Jian smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, my nephew has missed Jiaotong girl day and night since he saw her. He felt that she was the one to marry in this life. He always wanted to come to propose marriage, but he never saw his uncle. What happened today? Hurry, this is my nephew's betrothal gift. After today, my nephew will ask my seventh uncle, oh, the Lord Guard of this city, to come to the door in person to lobby, what do you think?"
King Xu Jiao looked at the small box with great interest and said: "Commander Murong, I seem to have heard someone say that you already have seven concubines in your family, how can you still miss your little girl, even in this life? When you marry the sweet boy back, are you going to be your main wife or your concubine?"
Murong Jian didn't blush, his heart kept calm, and he said calmly: "Uncle, this is wrong. The love in this world has no end. The concubine I married before was also true, and this time I married the sweet boy, it is true. I can't say I had a lover before, so I can't fall in love with Jiaotong now. Besides, since we have true love, Jiaotong doesn't care about status. My nephew's first wife is the daughter of the Tongpan of Shayu City, and she has a distinguished status. But as the master of the backyard, his partial wife is also the daughter of an official, and she is very virtuous. My nephew thinks that if he marries a sweet boy, being his partial wife will not disgrace her. What do you think?"
When King Xu Jiao heard this, he laughed angrily and said, "My wise nephew is really thoughtful and has made very thoughtful arrangements."
Murong Jian was overjoyed after hearing this and said: "So, Uncle Xu agreed. There are one thousand taels of gold in this gift box, which is my betrothal gift. I asked my uncle to accept it. This kind of gift is more than when my nephew married his first wife." I have learned a lot, I hope my uncle knows how sincere my nephew is."
King Xu Jiao looked up to the sky and laughed, saying: "Commander Murong, I really understand your thoughts. I'm sorry that you think highly of my daughter, but you actually gave me such a generous gift. It's a pity that my daughter has been betrothed to someone else, but Commander Murong came too late." ”
Murong Jian's dark ugly face actually turned white, and he said, "Uncle Xu, could it be that he was deceiving me? My nephew has already inquired about it, and the sweet boy was not betrothed to anyone else. If he was betrothed to someone else, why didn't he tell me about it earlier?"
Then, he gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Xu, even if you are betrothed to someone else, you are not married yet. Who is the other person? My nephew asked his seventh uncle to come forward and said, that man must regret this marriage. Do you think it is possible? good?"
Zhang Xiaohua almost vomited out the food he was eating. He couldn't understand what he was saying. He was clearly refusing, so he thought he was in trouble.
King Xu Jiao couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw Murong Jian retreating without any difficulty. He hesitated and said: "This..."
At this time, Qin Shiyue said with a smile: "My good nephew, if you do this, your Uncle Xu will be in trouble, because this man is far away and right in front of you."
Murong Jian was stunned and quickly looked around. There were middle-aged and elderly people all around him. Then he saw Zhang Xiaohua and Ying Fei next to Xu Jiaotong. He couldn't help but asked fiercely: "Could it be that Uncle Qin said he was sitting next to Jiaotong over there?" Two people? But that young man is just a boy. He shouldn't be. Could it be that ordinary-looking man? This boy is so ordinary that he can't be recognized even if he falls into the crowd. How can a charming boy like him? Yes Isn’t it true that my seventh aunt and eighth aunt are also members of the government, making you embarrassed? This is why you are so reluctant."
Then, he whispered: "If that's the case, you might as well tell my nephew. There are ten thousand ways to make him regret it and even want to steal a woman from me. I'm really tired of living."
Qin Shiyue smiled and shook her head and said, "No, no."
Murong Jian was stunned and asked, "Who could that be?"
