Chapter 59: The Hongmen Banquet
Fang Lang saw Aunt Lan when he arrived at their room. He guessed that they must have woken up too late and Aunt Lan couldn't stand it. It seems that he is still a little late. He should discipline these two guys in the future.
Aunt Lan glanced at Fang Lang, then turned around and left the room. Otherwise, her mission has been completed. If they don't show up on time later, it will certainly not be her responsibility. It's better not to meddle in other people's business.
"Brother, good morning!" Kou Zhong jumped off the bed as soon as he heard Fang Lang's voice. In fact, Fang Lang would not let them stay in bed for too long on weekdays, but when they came here, they lived a little far away from each other, so he dared to sleep late.
Fang Lang glanced at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and he couldn't bear it. "Go take a shower quickly, and come with me to see the owner later." He didn't know what the woman wanted to do, but it didn't matter what she did. It just happened to be a chance to talk to her. I'm afraid there will be a lot of people coming later. Fang Lang roughly estimated how many people would attend...
After receiving the order, the two of them immediately ran towards the bathhouse and cleaned themselves up as quickly as possible. They had suspected them inexplicably a few days ago, and now they are invited to have dinner together. It's really a bit strange...
Who cares? Otherwise, it's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided...
On the table are the most famous dishes on the ranch: mango sago, roasted whole lamb, and various chickens, ducks, fish and meats. In addition, Shang Xiuxun's dress today is different from her previous capable men's image. Instead, she changed into a white floor-length skirt and tied a green belt around her waist. She looks like a fairy descending to the earth, making this meal even more beautiful.
"Everyone, pick up your chopsticks." Shang Xiuxun politely made a gesture of invitation. The people at this table are really lively, Fang Lang and Kou Zhong, Song Yuzhi. What surprised Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling the most was that Xu Xiuning and others were also there.
Xu Ziling glanced at Kou Zhong. How could he not know what his brother was thinking? Sure enough, Kou Zhong was leaning his head against the ground at this time, and he didn't know what he was looking at. He was almost in a wandering state.
I didn't expect that Kou Zhong, who was usually careless, would have such a moment. I must make fun of him when I have the chance in the future. Looking at Li Xiuning, she seemed to be indifferent. But that look that didn't drift over had already betrayed her. It was simply impossible to say that she didn't know them.
"Then we won't be polite." In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Fang Lang spoke first. He picked up some dishes and put them in Song Yuzhi's bowl, and everyone started to eat one after another.
Just after eating for a while, Shang Xiuxun said, "Does Miss Li know them?" While speaking, his eyes were obviously looking at Kou Zhong and the others. Then he returned to Xu Xiuning.
Sure enough, this meal would not be so simple, it was just like the Hongmen Banquet. Fang Lang thought to himself, if Shang Xiuxun asked whether Li Xiuning was rescued in Yangzhou, how would they end it?
He was thinking hard. Li Xiuning paused, holding her chopsticks in the air for a few seconds, and then came to her senses, "Oh, we did meet once." It seems that he can't hide it anymore, so he can only get away with it. Li Xiuning doesn't care. Meeting doesn't mean there is no relationship. As long as she doesn't say it, who can force her to do anything?
"I see." Shang Xiuxun was holding a piece of crispy duck and slowly put it into her mouth. Sure enough, watching beautiful women eat is actually a good thing. Her eyes floated among the people from time to time. The seemingly casual questions were actually said by her after thinking for a long time with the most appropriate words.
Fang Lang couldn't help but kick Kou Zhong, and it was so obvious. Are you going to use a loudspeaker to tell others what your relationship with Li Xiuning is? Kou Zhong immediately sat up straight, eating seriously and looking straight ahead. Even when picking up food, he tried to avoid Li Xiuning's direction. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that...
Kou Zhong didn't know what he wanted to do. He always felt uneasy when he saw Li Xiuning. Nothing he did was natural. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why. It seemed that his cultivation was not enough, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
"Owner, I wonder how the war horses at Pegasus Ranch are doing in recent years? Xiuning has loved riding horses since she was a child, but she is not very interested in things from her daughter's family. I wonder if you can take Xiuning to the horse farm to visit after lunch and try out your horse?" Li Xiuning took the initiative to speak. This was the purpose of her trip.
However, in fact, it was just a change of subject. She didn't want to be asked too much about her relationship with Kou Zhong. After all, she was already engaged, and Chai Shao was her only fiancé...
She didn't want to change, and there was no need to change. After all, she just had some inexplicable feelings for Kou Zhong, and it was not worth her changing anything for this. Being in the Li family, many things can no longer be decided by oneself, the Li family represents the world!
"Okay, since Miss Li is interested, I will accompany you. In recent years, our horse farm has also had many fine horses, which will definitely suit the princess's taste." It is better not to offend the people of the Li family. Although this piece of land is his own, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that Li Shimin is definitely the overlord of the time, so how can his sister be neglected?
I just wanted to stay aloof in this troubled world, take good care of my Pegasus Ranch and live a comfortable life here. It's a pity that now is the Warring States Period. What is needed most is good war horses and excellent soldiers. In addition, this is a dangerous military place. No matter which force gets her support, this is undoubtedly a huge help.
She almost never paid attention to the people who came before, but she was optimistic about the Li family.
. Obviously her heart is now a little biased towards Li
Xiuning has to find a way quickly. If the Song family loses this piece of fat, it will be an irreparable loss. ..
