Luo Qin sat upright in his seat, his eyes fixed on the center of the hall. At this moment, a group of graceful young dancers were dancing in the spacious hall.

For such a small banquet, the host also sent dancers, which shows how much importance he attaches to the guests. Luo Ci was expressing his respect for Luo Ji. Luo Qin was just a girl, a tool he would use to win over the nobles. The only one who could make him show respect was Aye Luo Ji.

Luo Ji not only has superb medical skills, but he is also Luo Qin's father. Since he is about to sell his daughter, he has to give him some face.

Luo Qin felt bitter in her heart, and her hands placed on her knees clenched quietly. In fact, she had been confused since she was taken away by Jiankang Luo's family, but she understood that the branch could not resist the main family.

Most of the time, the branch still has to rely on the main family for survival, and when the main family needs them, they can't refuse. Luo Qin knows that the main family will take her away no matter what, and she doesn't want to make things difficult for her brother, so she pretends to be calm on the surface, but she is actually afraid and panicked in her heart.

Moreover, in this era, if the main family asks for a daughter from the branch, it is an honor for the branch! Besides, if the daughter goes to the main family and marries with the status of the main family, she will definitely marry better, so why refuse?

Just look at the two daughters, Luo Jin and Luo Rong, and you will know. Since hearing that they could marry into the family, the two girls have been so excited that they have been smiling for several days in a row.

But unfortunately, Luo Qin was not born and raised in Dajin...

The ladies around looked at Luo Qin for a long time, and then tentatively turned sideways to talk to her.

"Is your sister called Aqin?"

Luo Qin turned around when she heard the voice and saw a girl about her age, so she smiled and replied: "Yes, what's your name, sister?"

"My name is A Jiao, and sister A Qin can call me sister A Jiao."

"Sister Gillian." Luo Qin readily followed suit.

"Hey." Luo Jiao responded with a smile, her eyes fell on Luo Qin's face and observed it carefully, and then sighed, "How can there be such a beautiful face like my sister in the world?"

"Sister Gillian is so good at teasing people. Aren't you also good-looking, sister?"

She was telling the truth. Luo Jiao was not bad looking. She was better than Luo Rong and a little bit inferior to Luo Jin. However, she had a gentle, virtuous and confident temperament that came from being born into a prominent family. Luo Jin was too stingy and arrogant. With the blessing of her temperament, Luo Jiao was better.

Luo Qin and Luo Jiao chatted back and forth, during which Luo Qin learned that Luo Jiao was actually Luo Ci's concubine's daughter, the ninth in the order of birth, and half a year older than Luo Qin.

From Luo Jiao, Luo Qin also learned that her older sister had already married, and she herself was also engaged, but her other sisters had not yet arranged marriages.

Luo Jiao is ranked ninth and Luo Xi is ranked seventeen. It’s not because the eldest wife Luo Ci is able to give birth, but also because the children of the three wives on this side of the family are ranked together, with boys and girls separated.

"Aqin, look over there."

During the conversation, Luo Jiao pointed in a direction. Luo Qin looked in that direction and saw a girl in a pink skirt.

"she is……?"

Luo Jiao's eyes curved, and there was a hint of teasing in her words, "She, her name is Arou, she used to be the prettiest girl in our Luo family, but now that you're here, she has to step back."

After hearing what Luo Qin said, she took another closer look at the girl in pink. From her profile, she could see that she had fair skin, thin and curved eyebrows, long and curled eyelashes, a straight nose, red lips and white teeth, and a charming smile.

She is indeed a beautiful woman.

"Is she the eldest master's child?" Luo Qin asked.

Luo Jiao covered her mouth and smiled, then shook her head, "No, she is not my father's child. She is also from a side branch like you."

Luo Qin understood.

Another woman with the same fate as her.

While the guests were chatting, servants shuttled back and forth between the couches and tables, and soon all the dishes were served.

Luo Ci raised his glass and said a few polite opening remarks to everyone. Everyone also raised their glasses to toast him out of respect. Then the banquet officially began. None of the guests ate voraciously or wolfed down their food. Everyone was very polite, chewing their food slowly and behaving elegantly.

Luo Qin observed silently and compared secretly. He found that the upbringing and manners of the Jiankang branch were much better than that of the Nanyang branch.

For the first time, Luo Qin felt that watching the gentlemen in wide robes with big sleeves, broad belts and tall crowns, and the ladies in gorgeous clothes and beautiful figures dining elegantly, was actually a visual enjoyment.
