Nanyang City is the largest city in the north of Jingzhou. Its majestic and grand city gates show the city's former glory.

The afternoon sun covers the entire ancient city. The gray and white ancient walls are covered with mottled marks, showing that this city has gone through countless winds, frosts and wars, like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, leaving behind the marks of time.

There were layers of soldiers guarding the city gates, and with Yu Ke leading the team, they entered Nanyang City smoothly.

The girl kneeling on the couch in the carriage lifted the curtain, revealing half of her fair face. Her beautiful eyes looked at the rows of densely packed streets and houses outside that were receding. Thinking that she could take a rest soon, the fatigue from the days of traveling seemed to be slightly relieved.

The carriage entered the Luo mansion, and Yu Ke led a hundred soldiers away.

The Luo clan members in Nanyang came out to greet Luo Ji and others. The leader here was named Luo Zi, who was older than Luo Ji. According to seniority, Luo Qin called him uncle.

There are nearly a hundred members of the Nanyang Luo family, including many young girls. Upon hearing that Uncle Luo Ji was coming with his daughter Luo Qin, the girls also came out to greet Luo Qin.

When Luo Qin got off the carriage and appeared in front of everyone, there was a silence all around and a faint sound of inhalation could be heard. Everyone froze in place, staring at the graceful and elegant girl who was walking towards them.

The girl walked with graceful steps, wearing a wide-sleeved skirt with a blue and white silver thread embroidered with a pattern of white camellia branches. She had a slender waist, and her black hair was shiny and smooth like the finest silk, tied up in the style of an unmarried nun. In her hair was a pin-pick of an exquisite tasseled camellia that had never been seen before. She had beautiful eyebrows, a jade nose and a rosy face. Her every move was like a light cloud covering the moon or snow fluttering in the wind.

Seeing this, Luo Qi couldn't help but straighten his chest, his lips slightly raised, and pride appeared in his eyes.

This is his sister, the little sister he has pampered for sixteen years!

Luo Qin's eyes swept through the crowd, and finally landed on a rather dignified old man. She took two steps forward, knelt down and saluted, her voice soft and pleasant, "Aqin greets Uncle Zi, and greets all the uncles, brothers, and sisters."

"Are you Aqin?" Luo Zi stroked his beard, his eyes wandering over Luo Qin.

Luo Qin bowed, his brows and eyes gracefully said: "Uncle, that's right."

"Well, well, well, it really is 'the beauty that eclipses the present and the past, the lotus blushes at the sight of the fair face'."

Luo Qin smiled shyly, "Uncle, you are too kind."

"She's a good child," Luo Zi became more and more satisfied as he looked at her. He turned to his granddaughter and said, "Arong, you should play with Aunt Qin more often in the future. Take Qin out for a walk when you have time. Remember to bring your Aunt Qin with you when you have a get-together with your sisters."

Hearing this, the little girl smiled and bowed, "Arong understands."

Luo Rong looked at Luo Qin with amazement and admiration. She stared at Luo Qin for a few seconds before taking a step forward and saying, "Aunt Qin, how are you? I am A Rong."

Luo Qin nodded and said softly: "My niece is fine."

Luo Qin's attitude was gentle. Seeing this, Luo Rong happily walked up to Luo Qin and naturally took her arm. "Aunt Qin, come, A Rong will take you to meet the other sisters."

"Thank you, Arong."

With Luo Rong taking the lead, other girls also came forward to greet Luo Qin.

"Hello Aunt Qin, I am Luo Shi's Asan."

"Sister Qin, I am Luo's A Lian."

"Aunt Qin, my name is Roy..."

……

These unmarried young ladies of the Luo family are all pretty and delicate, just like different delicate flowers in spring. They are indeed the daughters of noble families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and their genes are not bad.

When they saw Luo Qin's stunning appearance, they were stunned at first, then turned into joy and amazement, and had a good impression of Luo Qin, a girl from the same ethnic group.

Luo Qin was well brought up by his father and brother. He behaved in a dignified and elegant manner and was neither arrogant nor impetuous, which made the girls like him more.

Luozi arranged a yard for Luoqin and his family, and held a welcoming banquet that evening.

All the prominent families in Nanyang City were invited to this banquet. When Rufang told Luo Qin about it, Luo Qin could already imagine such a scene, and she subconsciously felt a lot of rejection in her heart.

When she was in Chaoyang, her father and brother wanted to hide her, but here they wanted her to show up more often. Perhaps they wanted to use this opportunity to find her a reliable husband, but she really didn't like everyone's eyes on her.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the house, and the figure of the graceful girl was lengthened. Luo Qin estimated that the time was almost up, and was planning to go out to attend the banquet with her personal maid Rufang.

Before he went out, a young girl came towards him outside the courtyard gate.

Luo Rong wore the popular makeup of the time, with white powder on her face, goose yellow on her forehead, rosy cheeks, blood-red lips, and cinnabar on both corners of her lips.

Luo Qin had also seen this kind of makeup in Chaoyang, but to be honest, it really didn't fit her aesthetic taste as a person from later generations. The color contrast was too obvious, and the thick blush ruined the original good color of her skin. She preferred natural beauty.

"Arong, you..." Luo Qin looked at the little girl's makeup, hesitant.

Luo Rong looked at her, "What's wrong, Aunt Qin?"

Luo Qin swallowed the unfinished words and said, "No..."

It was only the first day she met Luo Rong, and she had already bluntly said that her makeup was too thick, which was more or less too offensive, so it was better not to say anything.

"Aunt Qin, you haven't put on your makeup yet? How about I ask my maid to help you..."

"Ah, no," Luo Qin interrupted her good intentions and said awkwardly, "No need, I don't like putting on makeup."

Luo Rong looked at Luo Qin's face again, with envy flashing in his eyes, "Yes, Aunt Qin is beautiful."

Luo Qin didn't respond, but just said: "Arong came to see me, but do you want to go to the banquet together?"

"Exactly."

"Then please lead the way, Arong."

"Aunt Qin, please follow me."

Luo Qin and Luo Rong walked side by side, followed by several servants. In a short while, they arrived at a spacious hall where servants in brown or black short clothes were coming and going.

Luo Rong brought Luo Qin to the banquet and arranged for her to sit on the Luo family girls' couch.

Luo Qin took a quick glance and saw that there were about a hundred mats placed there, which meant there were quite a lot of people coming.

When the other Luo family girls saw that it was Luo Qin and the other person who came, they all greeted them in a friendly manner. However, a girl in the front row who seemed to be the same age as Luo Qin just glanced at the two of them coldly, but her gaze did not stop for a moment at Luo Qin's face. Then she was surprised and shocked, and there was a hint of obvious disbelief in her eyes. The next moment, she turned her head away and ignored them.

Luo Qin's mind was full of questions. She had never seen this girl before. She looked at Luo Rong beside her. The little girl immediately answered: "That girl is my aunt Luo's Auntie. She is my grandfather's (grandfather's) illegitimate daughter. She is the grandfather's favorite concubine. She is beautiful and is quite loved by the grandfather. She is used to being arrogant. Aunt Qin, please don't bother with her."

Luo Qin glanced at Luo Jin's back and nodded in understanding. Then he stopped looking at her and turned his gaze to his brother Aye at the men's table.

Brother Aye came here to save people, and was highly favored by the Lord of the Nanyang Luo family. He specially arranged Aye's seat to his right. The person on his left must be the general that Aye wanted to save this time.

Although the man was not in military uniform, he was only wearing a long indigo-colored robe embroidered with gold, a gold leather belt around his waist, and his hairstyle was that of a young man, tied up high with a headband. He had handsome features, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his manners were elegant, but there was a bit more fierceness between his eyebrows than that of an ordinary man, and this fierceness must have come from fighting on the battlefield.

Luo Qin observed that the young man was very unnatural in holding things with his right hand, as if he had no strength. He thought that he must be the injured general, but he never thought that the general was so young and promising.
