Chapter 817 – The Group Opener and the Mending Blade Player

As the sun gradually moved towards the west, Xu Qi’an, dressed in his official uniform as emperor’s son-in-law, brought along a few household servants and waited with his second uncle at the gate of the mansion to greet the guests attending the banquet.

Soon, he saw a group of acquaintances, Magistrate Zhu, Li Dianshi, and Sheriff Wang from Changle County Office.

Xu Qi An’s mind instantly flashed back to the time when he first came to Dafeng, Wang sheriff and Li Dianshi were his hooker listening to music initiators, and during that time, the old Wang and the old Li dropped a penny of silver every day ………

“My humble servant, Zhu Ming, pays his respects to Xu Yinluo.”

County Magistrate Zhu sprinted forward and bowed.

Sheriff Wang and the others bowed in a formal manner.

Xu Qi’an greeted him with a big smile:

“Why are you still staying at the Changle County Yamen? Old Zhu, the court has been raising soldiers for a hundred years in order for you to bow and scrape for the gods of the earth and grain, so you must not slack off.”

Zhu magistrate’s heart blossomed, suppressing his inner joy, he made a bow:

“Xu Yinluo taught me a lesson.”

After a few moments of idle chit-chat, Magistrate Zhu led Sheriff Wang and the others into the mansion behind the Xu family’s servant.

The old Zhu pace are almost floating up, he in Changle County diligently simmering for many years, never see the hope of promotion, Xu Yinluo Fang’s words, is intended to fulfill him.

After welcoming the crowd from Changle County, it wasn’t long before Xu Qi’an ushered in the second batch of guests, a wide and luxurious carriage parked on the street, the driver brought in small stools, and three people came down from the carriage successively–Wang Simu and the two dukes from the Wangfu.

“Father is physically ill and is unable to travel, so he asked the three of us siblings to travel to congratulate Xu Yinluo on his wedding.” Wang Simu bowed towards his uncle and nephew.

“Disciple sister is too formal, just call big brother, inside please.” Xu Qi’an enthusiastically guided Wang Simu inside with a big smile:

“Turn around and arrange a special seat for the younger siblings, don’t refuse.”

Wang Simu wore a smile on his face, but his heart inexplicably sank, feeling that Xu Yinluo’s smile was permeated with a bit of disturbing treachery.

He had just asked the household servants to bring Wang Simu and her two older brothers into the mansion when he turned his head and saw Second Uncle welcoming the third group of guests.

Those were the sect masters and gang masters of the martial arts alliance, among them, the light veil masked, skirt flying Xiao Yue Nu was the most eye-catching, even without looking at the appearance, the temperament and figure were already top-notch.

After they received the invitations, they came to the capital a few days in advance and have been staying in the capital’s stagecoach station.

These gate masters and gang masters, now have official positions in their bodies, although they are unpowered and imaginary, but with an explicit official position, they can act cheaply in any place, and they can stay in the stagecoach station.

“Elder Kou didn’t come?”

Although Xu Qi’an had expected it, he still wore a displeased expression.

“Elder Kou has closed his doors and entrusted us to come and congratulate Xu Yinluo.” Xiao Yuenu softly said.

Xu Qi’an glanced at her and nodded:

“Gentlemen inside!”

Without further ado, he allowed the household servants to lead the Wulin Alliance’s crowd into the mansion, as he saw Song Qing and Chu Caiwei from the Si Tian Supervisor, as well as Yang Qianyi, who had his back turned to the Xu Mansion’s side and was teleporting over small distances in lieu of walking.

After all, turning your back on all beings is pushing it, but if you walk backwards, it becomes comical and unimaginative.

“Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Yang, Caiwei, you’ve come!”

Xu Qi’an’s face was piled with smiles as he enthusiastically greeted them.

Chu Caiwei’s gaze frequently looked inward, and she delicately said:

“Is the table open?”

Song Qing laughed:

“Senior Sister Caiwei has been hungry since last night.”

It’s the same as Lina’s ringtone, did you three make a deal? Xu Qi’an laughed:

“Wait for sundown, wait for sundown.”

Song Qing said in a deep voice:

“Why don’t you let me send a gift for Mr. Xu’s big wedding?”

Do I dare accept anything you send me? Either it’s a rare and weird alchemy product, or it’s a real life doll ………. Xu Qi An was full of grooves and laughed:

“With our friendship, there’s no need for Senior Brother Song to be outgoing.”

Finally it was Yang Qianyi’s turn, he cleared his throat and chanted:

“The hand invites the moon to pick the stars, the world ………”

Before the words left his mouth, Xu Qi’an interrupted him:

“Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister Caiwei, go inside go inside! Senior Sister Zhong is waiting for you inside, eh? Isn’t this Senior Brother Yang, why is he still standing there.”

Dog thief, new hatred and old hatred, today with you to count clearly, you give me to wait ………. Yang Qianyi secretly swore, clear light flickered and flashed, following Song Qing and Chu Caiwei into the mansion.

After sending off the disciples of the Supervisor, Xu Qi’an looked toward the end of the long street, his face stiffened for a moment, slowly exhaled, and greeted them.

“Wonderful truth, holy son, welcome welcome welcome.”

Li Miaozhen was carrying a sword and wearing a Taoist garment, her face expressionless.

The Holy Son greeted him with a big smile, first saying joy with a pile of words, then twisting his head to reprimand Li Miaozhen:

“Elder sister, who are you putting on this stinky face for? Isn’t Xu Yinluo’s wedding a great joyous occasion? Isn’t the wedding of Xu Yinluo and His Highness Lin’an a match made in heaven? Xu Yinluo just saved your life, and you’re still making a stinky face, you really don’t know any better.”

Li Miaozhen glanced at Xu Qi’an and laughed:

“Congratulations to Xu Yinluo for winning the princess!”

She rarely looked like she had skin on her face.

Li Ling Su said in a serious manner:

“When you turn around and make a mess in the bridal chamber, senior sister should be merciful.”

I expected it right, Li Lingsu and Yang Qianyi really held back bad ideas ………. Xu Qi’an sneered in his heart and sent his senior siblings into the mansion.

Guests arrived in batches and the night slowly drew in.

At the beginning of the Chinese lights, he finally saw Wei Yuan’s carriage slowly approaching, driven by the feminine temperament of Nangong, Jiang Luzhong Zhang Kaitai and other golden gongs rode on the two sides, and further back, there were silver gongs and copper gongs.

Xu Qi’an took a breath and took the initiative to welcome him.

Nangong Qianlou parked her carriage on the street, and when she saw him come over, she intuitively stepped aside.

Can’t afford to mess with this guy now.

Xu Qi’an placed the stool, opened the car door, guided Wei Yuan out of the car, and laughed:

“Lord Wei, humble servant has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Wei Yuan basically didn’t attend red and white ceremonies, but for Xu Qi’an’s wedding, he was sure to come.

After Wei Yuan got out of the car, he twisted his head to look at the carriage behind him.

In the carriage, a cool and picturesque face peeked out, she was dressed in men’s clothing, without powder, but this did not detract from her beauty, but rather added a few points of unisex charm.

Since ancient times, beautiful women dressed in men’s clothing, all have a moving flavor.

Xu Qi’an’s face slowly stiffened, “Your Majesty?”

He said to himself, “You’re the Honorable One of the Nine to Five, why don’t you stay in the palace and come to the wedding?

It’s not polite!

Huaiqing said faintly:

“Lin’an is my favored sister, on her wedding day, I came over to ask for a cup of wedding wine, Xu Yinluo seems unwilling?”

After all, it has come, but it can t be avoided ah ……… Xu Qi an forced a smile:

“Welcome!”

Wei Yuan patted his shoulder, his tone slow, “During the banquet, this seat will sit near His Majesty.”

Xu Qi’an nodded his head first and then asked:

“Why is that?”

Wei Yuan smiled gently and said two words wordlessly, walking towards the mansion with big sleeves.

Watching the play!

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

After a few more moments, Daoist Master Golden Lotus arrived with the members of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Chu Yuanzhan’s first words when he saw Xu Qi’an:

“I’m going to sit with number one and two.”

Are you damn well here to watch the show too ………. Xu Qi’an cursed in his heart, keeping an elegant and unobtrusive smile on his face, he sent the members of the Tiandi Association inside.

Next was the arrival of Zhao Shou with four great scholars from Yunlu Academy.

Xu Qi’an examined Yang Gong and smiled knowingly:

“Congratulations, Teacher, on your promotion to Transcendent.”

Yang Gong (585-658), famous Tang dynasty poet

…………

The Xu Mansion had four courtyards and three halls, which were arranged in different locations according to status and official position.

For example, members of the Xu clan were arranged in the hall between the inner and outer courtyards, while Changle County, and officials of lesser rank, were arranged in the outer courtyard.

Above the sixth rank, they were arranged in the east courtyard of the inner courtyard, while the gongs and silver gongs of the watchmen were arranged in the west courtyard, adjacent to the crowd of the Martial Arts Alliance.

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

There are five tables in the inner sanctum.

One table was Wei Yuan, Nangong Qianru, Jiang Lvzhong and other golden gongs, Song Tingfeng Zhu Guangxiao, because of his deep friendship with Xu Qi’an, made an exception and sat with the golden gongs.

As for Li Yuchun, for the sake of his physical and mental health, Xu Qi’an sent him to the west courtyard to sit with the silver gongs and bronze gongs.

At one table were the Xu family, Second Uncle, Auntie, Ji Baiqing, Xu Yuanfeng’s siblings, and Xu Lingyue’s sisters.

At one table sat the four great scholars of the Cloud Deer Academy, Zhao Shou, Xu Erlang, and Song Qing and Yang Qianyi.

At one table sat Daoist Master Jinlian, Asura, Master Hengyuan, Chu Yuanzhuan, Miao Youfang, Li Lingsu, and Lina’s brother, Moxan.

It’s worth mentioning that after the battle, Mo Sang was granted an official position by the court, not willing to go back to the southern border, and is currently serving as an officer in the forbidden army.

The last table is awesome, Huaiqing, Zhong Li, Li Miaozhen, Mu Nanjian, Lina, Chu Caiwei, Wang Simu.

Wang Simu looked left and right, feeling out of place with these women.

Li Lingsu laughed madly in his heart, saying Xu Ningyan, this dog thief, actually arranged me with these women, he is afraid that he will not die fast enough.

He thought that Xu Ning Banquet sent him and Yang brother to a secluded corner, he was ready to cheeky to the “home”.

How could the Holy Son let go of such a good opportunity? The most enjoyable thing in life is to sit with his confidants at the wedding of his “enemy” and fan the flames.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit odd.

Jiro Xu transmitted his voice to question:

“Big brother, what are you doing putting Simu next to your sisters-in-law?”

“There’s always a need for a resourceful one to smooth things over.” Xu Qi’an replied so.

“Righteous Father, why do I feel that the atmosphere is a bit off.”

Nangong Qianruo swept a glance at the women at that table, and then swept a glance at the other tables, and he noticed that Li Lingsu, Chu Yuanjian, Xu Erlang, Miao Youfang, and the others would steal a glance at that table from time to time, with a dark poke of anticipation hidden in their eyes.

Wei Yuan smiled.

“What’s the deal with these girls, Second Brother?”

Ji Baiqing had a sharp eye, and just by looking at the expressionless appearance of the women at that table, she knew that the situation was not right.

Well, it wasn’t all expressionless; the little girls from the Southland and the yellow dress girls, they just ate with a big, bold, full mouth.

In addition, she was puzzled at how Mu Nanjian also sat over there.

Shouldn’t this Ru’s sworn sister be sitting at their table?

Uncle Xu thought for a moment and transmitted his voice to reply:

“This, this ………

“A few of them are quite close to Ning Banquet, well, including His Majesty.”

Ji Baiqing came to a realization.

The great scholars of the Cloud Deer Academy were the most normal, drinking and eating as they should.

“Huh, there’s still two seats open.”

Li Lingsu glanced at the two empty seats beside Li Miaozhen and laughed, “Ning Banquet, whose are these two seats?”

Xu Qi’an, as the groom, was sitting by Wei Yuan’s side at this moment and, hearing this, replied:

“Oh, that’s the State Master’s, she reckons she’s coming soon.”

As he was speaking, a golden light descended from the sky and floated into the inner hall, transforming into Luo Yu Heng’s appearance.

Clear and absolutely beautiful, just like a heavenly fairy.

Huaiqing, Li Miaochen, Xu Lingyue, Zhong Li, and the others, gently swept a glance at the Land Goddesses and did not speak.

The smile on Li Lingsu’s face inevitably widened, more enthusiastic than the groom, and he was busy getting up, the corners of his mouth cracking to the roots of his ears, saying:

“State Master, come, come and sit!”

Luo Yu Heng took his seat, looked at Xu Qi An, and didn’t say anything.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Lingsu cleared his throat.

Yang Qianfeng at the other table received the trumpet call to enter the palace and lamented aloud:

“Ning Banquet is a young man with a flamboyant and talented personality, and now that he has married Lin’an, I don’t know how many complaining women are going to cry in secret and be heartbroken, poor na, poor!”

After the opening hand Yang Qianyi finished speaking, the mending hand Li Lingsu put down his wine cup and retorted:

“What are you saying, Brother Yang?

“Ning Yan is in love with His Highness Lin An and is devoted to his love, so other women can just cry, what does it have to do with Ning Yan? They’re all mediocre fans who want to climb up the ladder.”
