Pear blossoms behind Qingming

Chapter 17: The Grave

Ever since the red lotus makeup became popular with Qin Yuanxi, Lan Qi has become a little swollen.

It's not that his nostrils are pointing to the sky and his chin is abusive, it's just that he has become more and more shameless...

For example, she insisted on drawing something on Qin Yuanxi's face every day...

One day, just when Qin Yuanxi couldn't bear it anymore and was about to roll his eyes, he heard the courtyard door opening and closing.

Qin Yuanxi reacted immediately, pushed Lan Qi aside, and said: "Someone is coming, you hide."

Although he has experienced countless times such a scene similar to having an affair and stealing half of his original partner and returning, Lan Qi still hides on the beam of the house without any burden.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

"Sir, there is a message to hand over."

post?

Qin Yuanxi frowned slightly.

Qi'an is a smart mind, he will screen all the posts that come in first, and he will not accept any posts that can not be accepted.

As long as Qi'an handed it in, Qi'an felt that he couldn't make up his own mind.

For example, Uncle Ning last time.

Qin Yuanxi borrowed the post in Qi'an's hand and opened it to have a look.

His face changed instantly.

Zheng Anlu celebrated his birthday and asked him to go to Zheng's mansion for a banquet.

Qin Yuanxi knew that she had to go.

Although Zheng Anlu did not specifically support him, but without Zheng Anlu, it is impossible for Qin Yuanxi to be in Lihualuo.

Qin Yuanxi didn't feel that she owed Zheng Anlu.

He is not afraid of what Zheng Anlu will do to him, after all, Zheng Anlu is powerless now.

The problem is that Zheng Anlu knows his real origin.

It's not that I can't give up fame and fortune, but I'm afraid to face it after all.

In the final analysis, who is not a mortal, cannot get rid of the five aggregates and six dusts.

Qin Yuanxi closed the post, and said softly: "Go and write a post, I will go."

Qi'an nodded, and trotted back to reply to the post.

Qin Yuanxi closed the door, took a deep breath, turned around, and said, "Come down."

Lan Qi jumped off the beam and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Yuanxi said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just... I just went to my adoptive father's invitation to attend his birthday banquet."

"Oh, so, when?"

"Tomorrow, you stay at home, and I will go by myself."

"Ah? Can't I go? Didn't I go out with you last time too! I won't cause trouble!"

"Last time it was Uncle Ning, this time it's my adoptive father, can it be the same? Well, don't make trouble, just stay at home and play by yourself, don't run around and be discovered by others."

Lan Qi resentfully said: "Oh..."

The next day, Qin Yuanxi went out early, just like what she said yesterday, without Lanqi.

For the first time, Lanqi didn't make a fuss.

After arriving at Zheng's Mansion, Qin Yuanxi didn't look sideways, went directly to the banquet, and sat down in his seat.

No matter what those people looked like, he didn't want to look at them.

Not long after, Zheng Anlu also arrived.

He is only 50 years old, but because he was addicted to sensuality in his early years, even at the age of knowing his fate, his health is already very bad, and the oily flesh of the past has disappeared into a skeleton with dry skin. No matter how indulging in sensuality, even if you take good care of yourself, you may not be able to live long.

At this time, the guests had arrived one after another, Qin Yuanxi had no expression on his face, and Zheng Anlu was also smart, so he didn't bother himself.

More than half of those guests came for Qin Yuanxi. Seeing that Qin Yuanxi had really arrived, they were all staring at each other, but they couldn't really leave Zheng Anlu alone. Qin Yuanxi had no intention of talking, so they had to talk to Zheng Anlu chatted.

It didn't take long for the food to start serving.

The first dish is whitebait tofu, a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zheng Anlu's only son, Zheng Weisi, was chatting with the guests. Seeing the food being served, he immediately laughed and said, "Everyone! This whitebait tofu dish is made by a chef hired at a high price from Jiangnan. They came here! The fish fry here were all filled with clear water in a jade bottle when they were still roe, and they hadn’t hatched when they were brought here! You have to find someone to watch them day and night, and change the water three times a day. When it hatches, take it out immediately, wrap it in tofu and steam it over high heat, and you will eat the whole fish, which is absolutely clean and nourishing!"

When the guests heard the words, they immediately praised: "That's really delicious in the world! You must experience it!"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes, thanks to Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zheng, let's get a taste of this Jiangnan flavor!"

"If you say you can enjoy it, then the whole capital really can't find a second person who can enjoy it more than Mr. Zheng, hahaha..."

Listening to the noisy sound in her ears, Qin Yuanxi remained silent, and looked down at the small sky-blue cup in front of her, which contained half a cup of clear soup and tofu cubes the size of a palm.

It was a white tomb where lost souls were buried.
