Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi
Chapter 42 Crisis
After Helian Qing finished the last piece of hibiscus cake, she was about to get up to attend the banquet. Helian Yun saw that there was still one third of the food left on the table, so he asked her to sit down and eat a few more bites.
In Da Yun, people usually eat some snacks before going to a banquet. This is to avoid looking too ugly when eating at the banquet, and it is a default etiquette.
"Brother, I have to save food for the wedding banquet. Yaoyao said that the chef from Shuiyunjian will be in charge of cooking today." As he spoke, he couldn't help but salivate and raised his delicate nose.
Helian Yun did not force her, but the dress was too dazzling, so he took her to the "Lan Yi Pavilion" next door to change into a Xiangye yellow dress, which looked both fresh and generous. This dress was a new model from Lan Yi Pavilion. Seeing that it looked good on her, Helian Qing suppressed her joy and looked at Helian Yun and said, "Brother, you can let me wear this dress, but you have to accompany me to the banquet."
Helian Yun's eyes flashed with complexity that was difficult to discern, and he nodded slightly.
The two of them met up with Helian Qing's father Helian Zhongzheng and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together. This was Helian Zhongzheng's first time dealing with the Xu family. When his daughter brought back the invitation, he couldn't help but think of Xu Licheng, the second son of the Xu family. He had always admired the talent of "Mr. Qinglan". He heard that his long-term leg had improved under the treatment of a certain master and would be healed soon. If that was true - he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Helian Qing.
After they arrived at Xu's house, Helian Qing spotted Zhao Huaian wandering at the corner of the gate.
He said something to the two servants beside him, but the two of them held him down tightly and wouldn't let him move forward even a step.
Zhao Huaian was holding an exquisite golden nanmu eight-treasure box in his hands, and was struggling to break free from the restraints of Steward Wang and Steward Chen.
"You two, let me go now. If you don't, I'll let you pack up and leave when I get back."
The situation was urgent and Manager Wang ignored his threats.
"Pavilion Master, we can't go! Firstly, you don't have a wedding invitation, so we can't afford to lose face. Secondly, each of the muscle-growing pills in the box costs 5.8 million taels, and there are only three in the entire Fuguang Pavilion. If we send them away, I'm afraid the old man will have a heart attack when he returns!"
Zhao Huaian glared at Manager Wang fiercely: "Idiot! If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how can the Grand Master know! He has so many treasures, so what's wrong with missing a muscle-growing pill? Yaoyao is getting married today, and I think it's an insult to her if I give her one."
He was anxious and angry. He was anxious because every time he took something good, Lao Wang would notice it immediately. Sometimes he really suspected that Lao Wang was born in the Year of the Dog. He was angry because Yaoyao actually missed his wedding invitation. How could she leave him out when they were so close? The beauty was ruthless, but he, Zhao Huaian, could not be unfaithful. After several days of thinking hard in the treasure house, he finally took a fancy to this pill of regenerating muscles. This is a magic medicine for repairing skin injuries. After taking one pill, even if the wound is exposed, new flesh will grow within three days and it will be as good as new.
Suddenly he saw Helian Qing tilting her head and looking at him curiously, and he shouted her name excitedly.
The sound alarmed the crowd that was entering the mansion outside. Those who knew Zhao Huaian nodded and greeted him, forcing Steward Wang and Steward Chen to let go and step aside.
"Helian Qing, please give this to Yaoyao for me." After saying that, he stuffed the treasure box into her arms.
"Why don't you give it to her in person?" Helian Qing asked in confusion.
"I have something to do and can't go. Can you give it to her for me? Don't forget, it's very expensive!" Before Helian Qing could react, Zhao Huaian walked away with his head held high and in an elegant manner.
Manager Wang sighed heavily and had to give up and follow him.
Helian Qing stared at the exquisite treasure box with curiosity, wanting to open it and take a peek, but Helian Yun instantly patted her eager hand and said, "Don't be rude."
She turned her head and saw her brother's sharp eyes, and her thoughts were instantly put to rest.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was ablaze with red, and fifty banquet tables were arranged in an orderly manner in the "Songbai Garden". The scene was solemn and warm. Each table could accommodate twenty people for dinner, and the tableware was all made of rare imperial jade. In the center of the huge round table were two bottles of "Jiuyun Golden Phoenix Wine", which shocked many guests.
"What a lucky groom!" Helian Zhongzheng sighed, with an extremely envious look in his eyes. This wine has probably not been available for hundreds of years. I didn't expect that I could taste this long-lost fairy wine in my lifetime!
Although he and his wife have been in love for more than ten years and have no other ties at home, his wife had seven or eight maids before she got married.
He turned to Helian Yun and whispered, "Yun'er, Miss Mu is dignified and beautiful, it's rare! You must hold on tightly. Did Master Li agree?"
Helian Yun stared at the red-glazed pot in a daze, with huge waves of emotion in his heart.
It was almost unimaginable for Lady Mu to marry into the Xu family with her beauty and talent. It was hard to imagine what kind of family could raise such a pure girl, and I was even more glad that I went to the Spring Banquet that day.
"Ayun, uncle is asking you!" Helian Zhongzheng saw Helian Yun standing there in a daze, and spoke again.
"No reply yet."
"Keep an eye on it, decide on it as soon as possible, get married as soon as possible, don't be as slow as the Xu family." Helian Zhongzheng urged. Then he looked at Helian Qing again, and saw that his daughter was looking around cautiously like a little squirrel, and couldn't help asking: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
The sudden question instantly brought Helian Qing back to her senses. She smiled awkwardly at her father and said, "Nothing. I just wanted to see if there were any acquaintances so we could have a chat later."
Helian Zhongzheng moistened his throat, pointed at Xu Licheng's seat with his eyes, and said meaningfully: "It's been many years since we last met, and Young Master Qinglan is even more charming than before. Yoyo, didn't you like her poems very much in the past? Dad will take you to meet her later."
Xu Licheng?
Following his father's gaze, Helian Qing looked towards the main table. There sat a handsome young man in a royal blue satin gown with a pattern of pine, cloud and water. His black hair was half tied up and tied with a red ribbon, hanging casually on his shoulders. He had bright eyes and a handsome face. He had the elegance of a scholar and a vigorous spirit. He looked very friendly. He sat upright in a specially made wheelchair, surrounded by several friends, chatting eagerly.
Helian Qing's gaze stayed for two breaths and then moved away, continuing to quietly search for Xie Ci's figure.
Seeing that his younger sister looked like a loser, Helian Yun pointed behind her.
Xie Ci and two foreign officials were seen walking into Songbai Garden at an unhurried pace. When passing by their wedding table, Xie Ci stopped, bowed to Helian Yun and said, "Master Helian, I haven't seen you for many years. You look the same, even better than before."
Helian Yun smiled and replied, "You are too kind, Imperial Master. I am just blessed by heaven. Imperial Master and the third son of the Xu family have a deep friendship. Among the thousands of disciples of the National Yun Hall, only the Imperial Master attended the banquet for him."
Xie Ci's eyes were gloomy, but he smiled without saying anything. He turned to look at Helian Zhongzheng and Helian Qing beside him, and said with a bow, "Senior Zhongzheng, Miss Helian."
Helian Zhongzheng looked at the young man in front of him with a sharp gaze. He was dressed in a white robe, with flowing sleeves, a heroic figure, clear eyebrows, a straight nose, and beautiful bones. He was an extremely rare handsome man. No wonder his daughter was so fascinated by him and felt uneasy. He smiled warmly and said kindly, "The Beiming State Master is indeed handsome and dignified. I am honored to meet him today." Then he looked at Helian Qing and said, "This is my daughter Helian Qing. I have long admired the reputation of the first son of Yunqi. I praise the "Ode to Yangyang" written by the son and can recite it by heart."
"Dad——." Helian Qing called out in a tender voice. Seeing her beloved so close for the first time, her body was as tight as a string, and her beautiful eyes wandered around, finally landing on his slender and exposed snow-white neck. The sexy Adam's apple protruded, making her pretty face as bright as the sun, and she was full of imagination. She bit her lower lip hard and said hesitantly: "Thank you... Thank you, Master... OK."
Xie Ci's face was calm, and he bowed politely and said, "Senior Helian, thank you for your praise. I have heard for a long time that Miss Helian is elegant and intelligent. Seeing her today, I find her even more beautiful and charming. It is a pleasure to meet you."
After the greetings, Xie Ci led two of his subordinates to take the first step and sat down. Many people around cast surprised glances at them. They didn't expect that Bei Ming State Master would come in person to show his support. For a moment, the noble ladies present all had their minds aroused. They stopped chatting, stopped laughing, sat up straight, and many even took off their veils to show off their pretty faces, which immediately aroused the interest of many unmarried men.
"Dad, why did you say that in front of Master Xie just now!" Helian Qing complained. She felt that her inner shirt had been taken off, completely exposing her inner self. "
Seeing his daughter's silly look, Helian Zhongzheng said speechlessly: "Dad is testing his reaction to you."
Helian Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What do you think?"
Helian Zhongzheng said frankly without any hesitation: "No hope. Dad advises you to take a look at the other outstanding handsome men present."
"What makes you say that? Mr. Xie just praised me for my extraordinary beauty and intelligence?" Her voice became softer and softer, until she could hardly hear it.
"Huh, you know I'm sorry."
After all, she was his beloved, so Helian Zhongzheng still patiently enlightened her: "Dad knows your mind better than anyone. Dad said you have no chance, so there is no chance. Can't you hear such an obvious polite words? Or are you trying to numb yourself? He praised her with those beautiful words without even taking a breath, and there was no ripple in his eyes. What does this show? Some people are like the bright moon in the sky, you can only look up to them. Dad advises you to be more realistic and be content with what you have! Oh, the second son of the Xu family is twenty-six years old this year, he is in the prime of his life!"
Alas, it's hard to explain to this old man. Helian Qing turned away, turned to the side, and silently observed the movements in the garden. Dozens of wedding tables were almost full. The auspicious time was approaching, and everyone poured wine and exchanged pleasantries with each other. Many children were jealous of the delicacies on the table, and when the adults were not paying attention, they quickly picked up the jade chopsticks to secretly taste a bite.
"The auspicious time has arrived, the newlyweds are coming in!"
As the host's voice started, Xu Qingcheng and Mu Yao entered the venue slowly amid everyone's blessings.
Fenghuanghuo's wedding gown was as long as three feet like a scarlet silk thread, and its peerless bright red color instantly made all the flowers in the garden lose their spring color.
Xu Qingcheng held the soft hand tightly, and the surging excitement in his heart caused a thin layer of warm and wet sweat to seep out of his palms.
He walked step by step onto the hundred-meter long red brocade road, sideways glanced at the pretty girl beside him, recalled the scene of their first meeting and every little detail that followed, it seemed like a dream, like reality, like falling into the clouds.
Mu Yao felt Xu Qingcheng's determination and smiled knowingly under her red veil.
The red brocade carpet was covered with jade flowers and the sound of firecrackers was endless.
Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, the two bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and became husband and wife.
Helian Yun looked at the back of the beauty who was sent into the bridal chamber and drank the last sip of "Nine-Fermentation Golden Phoenix Wine" in the cup. He felt that his uncle was right and it was time to urge Master Li.
The Princess, Prime Minister Xu and Xu Qingcheng received blessings from all sides. Undoubtedly, today's scene and the "Nine-Yin Golden Phoenix Wine" gave the Xu family great face. Ye Jingshu's face was flushed, and she even felt that she was not so happy and comfortable even when she got married.
The successive toasts made Xu Qingcheng's consciousness a little hazy. Seeing that there were still ten tables to be toasted, she forced herself to drink another glass.
Xie Ci noticed that he was drunk, stood up and walked towards him, quietly handing him a "hangover pill". This pill was different from the ordinary hangover pills, it contained the Beiming Palace's secret medicine "Ice Ginseng", which had a great effect in sobering up and refreshing the mind.
"Qingcheng, don't hurt yourself and keep your wife waiting for a long time." Xie Ci patted his shoulder gently and reminded him.
Xu Qingcheng shook her body twice, took the pill and swallowed it, smiling gently, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Xie Ci propped up his half-shaky body, chuckled softly in his ear, and said in a hoarse voice: "We are family, there is no need to be polite." Then he handed him to the servants behind him and asked them to help him wake up again.
There was joy and jubilation in Songbai Garden, but the dim lights that suddenly appeared in the darkness outside the palace foreshadowed that tonight would be uneasy.
"Pavilion Master, Miss Mu has entered the bridal chamber." Lu Shen half-knelt on the ground and asked respectfully.
Han Qi stood on the eaves of a side garden near "Songbai Garden" facing the wind, gazing at the dazzling red and noise with cold eyes.
"Little liar!" The delicate face beneath the half mask raised a bloodthirsty smile. The red eyes were filled with death and morbid obsession.
After parting that day, he ordered Qian Bozhou to quickly calculate all the assets under his name. However, this idiot still couldn't calculate it clearly after seven days.
Zhuo Wangshu, the top-ranked assassin in the pavilion, happened to run into trouble when he was on a mission to assassinate Beiming. After he dealt with it, he heard the news that "Lotus Goddess" was about to get married. In the past few days, the Xu Mansion has been protected by the No. 1 Zhuang in the world and Wang Yanzhi, so he is a little overwhelmed. In addition, he has a new injury and cannot exert his full strength for a while.
"The Goddess of Luo River" is destined to be his woman.
Now that his injuries are no longer serious, hundreds of top masters from various branches of the Yunqi Bloodthirsty Pavilion have returned one after another.
Liu Huifeng, Wang Yanzhi and others are now firmly controlled by him and cannot move.
Even if he has to kill everyone today, he will take "Shen Luo" away.
