After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

The two chatted in the small reception room for a long time, until it was almost noon, when Huang Yanchu, Gao Chongwen, Shen Yong, Li Ji and others came in one after another.

Qi Min was the last one to arrive, and he hasn't turned from darkness to light yet.

Therefore, he still maintains the image of a weak scholar in front of others.

He also spoke in a gentle and polite voice, and occasionally uttered a few words.

"Is Ali with the ladies?" Su Qin stretched his neck and looked into the courtyard through the translucent door curtain.

At this time, many officials' wives had already arrived in the courtyard and it was lively, but Li Yi was the only one missing.

"Ali is pregnant, and we don't want to offend the newlyweds, so we let her stay at home."

"I actually forgot about this." Su Qin patted his forehead as if he suddenly realized something.

According to the rules of Chang'an, pregnant women are not allowed to attend wedding banquets, otherwise it will hinder the newlyweds from giving birth to children.

As to when this saying began and why it happened, it is unknown.

However, for the sake of offspring, every family will subconsciously avoid this issue.

Su Qinchao originally wanted to take this opportunity to look at Ahri and complain to her about how dangerous this time was and how...

As a rank of fourth grade official, he was personally appointed as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards. Most of the time he had to maintain an appearance of being fearless of life and death and moving forward courageously.

This is true even in front of Ling Qi.

At home, he is the son of his parents, the husband of his two wives, and the father of his three children.

I was afraid that they would worry about me, but I couldn't show too much weakness.

Only Ali knew her original appearance, so she could let him be himself for the time being.

It’s better to wait until I’m on duty before going. Ali is due to give birth in more than a month, so why hasn’t Bian Que returned yet?

They even counted on him to escort Ahri during childbirth. How weird!

Do I have to look for it again, or make second-hand preparations?

"Why do I feel like this county horse master seems familiar?" Seeing Qi Min being so familiar, he sat down next to him.

Gao Zhili turned his head with some confusion and asked Su Qinchao in a low voice.

"People with good looks are probably all the same." Su Qin glanced at him.

Qi Min, who had been listening to their conversation with his ears perked up, couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Doesn't he look familiar? When I went to the coastal area to investigate the affairs of the Maritime Customs, although Qi Min had his face covered, we had spent quite a while together.

"Really?" Gao Zhili turned his head and looked again and again, but didn't find anything wrong.

He has always had a good memory. He can't say that he has a photographic memory, but he will always have some impression of everyone he has met.

What's more, this county horse master is so handsome, it is reasonable that he should not forget him.

But he thought about it again and again, and still couldn't remember it until the servants from the Su Mansion came to invite them to the banquet.

...

Listening to the faint sound of drums coming from the garden in front and the noisy cheers of the crowd from time to time.

Su Qinchao looked at Xingxian, who was sitting next to him and cracking walnuts with a small hammer.

"Why don't you go and take a look? If you're afraid of other people, you can go to the attic behind the yard and take a look."

Although the attic was built in the backyard, it was only separated from the garden by a wall.

Standing on it, you can see everything in the garden clearly.

It is just right for Xingxian who is afraid of others.

Originally, he thought that since there were so many people here today, Xingxian would hide in the courtyard and not come out.

Unexpectedly, he came over just as Gao Zhili, Qi Min and others were invited to the banquet.

It really made him look at him with new eyes.

"I want to stay here with you, and as long as I can hear you, that's enough." Xingxian raised her head with a sharp look in her eyes.

It was a rare occasion for her to attend the return party, so she tied up her long hair, which flowed all the way down to her waist.

Although he likes opera, what he wants to do most at this moment is to be with his sweetheart.

This was also what the Madam had instructed early in the morning. She was afraid that the servants would secretly go to join in the fun and there would be no one to serve.

Moreover, after being immersed in opera for many years, the movements of those characters will automatically emerge in my mind just by listening to the lyrics.

There is no need to go out of your way to see him; being able to listen to him from afar is enough to satisfy you.

"You really don't want to go?" Su Qinchao touched the beautiful eyebrows of the person in front of him and asked again.

Because of what happened before, I can’t go out on weekdays, so I can’t watch the business outside.

Now that I have finally gotten my own business done, it would be a shame if I didn't go.

"Can I sing a song with the general, the same as what they are singing over there?" Xingxian shook her head.

Then he took his beloved's hand and leaned his face against it happily.

He had never sung for the general before, and he wanted to give it a try.

"it is good."

"The song being sung now is Yao Niang Sending Blessings..." With her lover's permission, Xingxian listened attentively for a while.

Then he lowered his voice and sang along with the rhythm.

"Old lady! Look at the red lights on the Toad Tower, and then look at the magpie...

Today I give you red pomegranates, tomorrow I will give you…"

It was obviously a play with multiple roles, but he played all of them by himself.

The singing was very lively, sometimes like the chirping of young girls, sometimes like the calm and vicissitudes of life of old ladies...

When changing scenes, he even imitated the drum sounds perfectly, showing off his great voice.

It sounds better than the singing in the garden over there. She is worthy of being the most famous female role in Yangzhou Prefecture.

"You sang really well." When the song ended, Su Qinchao hurriedly praised.

...

"Finally I'm done with my work." Yunniang returned to her room and collapsed on the rocking chair.

At this point I didn't want to move even a finger.

Just now, she had accompanied Rong and sent the female guests out one by one, watching them get on the carriage one by one.

He also watched the servants tidy up the garden, put everything that needed to be stored in the warehouse, and put everything back in tact.

The flowers were also delivered to each courtyard in batches, and this banquet was finally successfully completed.

Fortunately, according to the rules of Chang'an, newlyweds are not allowed to stay overnight when they return to their parents' home for the first time.

Therefore, although the banquet lasted a bit long, it did not drag on into the evening.

Otherwise she would have been unable to bear it long ago.

It's not just her. Everyone in the mansion has lost weight due to busy work, except Su Qinchao who has gained some weight due to recuperation.

Even Xiaoyu, who originally had a round face, seemed to have a pointed chin.
