Riding the Pheonix Chapter 39: Night banquet

The carriage was speeding through the quiet night.

Su Jie's nervousness eased a little, and then she realized something was wrong: "Madam, you didn't use any powder?"

After a breath of silence, a voice came from under the power fence that made her heartbroken: "Sujie, it's me."

Su Jie was stunned for a moment and quickly lifted up the gauze on the power fence.

Mingwei simply took off the gauze covering his face.

The lights in the car were dim, but it did not prevent Sujie from recognizing the differences between mother and daughter.

Su Jie opened her mouth and was about to cry.

Fortunately, she still has some sense and knows how to suppress her voice: "Miss! How come you..."

What's going on? When was the substitution made? It's definitely not what Madam wants, then Miss...

Ming Wei said calmly: "The matter is over now. Don't worry about the reasons. Please help me see first. Are there any flaws?"

Sujie shook his head: "No, if you do this, my wife will die of panic."

"She won't wake up for at least an hour." Mingwei said, "An hour later, I have already entered Xinyuan. Or do you want to call this matter out?"

The driver outside is the second master’s confidant.

If you shout out, the second master will know that the young lady is involved.

No, we can’t let the second master know! Otherwise, who knows if the second master will have evil thoughts again? The young lady looks very much like the madam, and she is very young...

"Hurry up, there isn't much time left." Mingwei urged.

Sujie had no choice but to help Mingwei dress up. I combed my hair into a bun again, trimmed my face a little, applied lipstick and powdered it.

After finishing grooming and covering her face again, Su Jie took a look under the light. It was so late at night that she could no longer tell the difference between mother and daughter just by looking at their facial features.

Helping Mingwei put on the power fence, Sujie whispered: "Miss, since you know what Madam is going to do, you must not get in front of Young Master Yang until the time comes. If something happens to you, Madam I definitely don’t want to live anymore.”

"Yes. Don't worry."

How can you rest assured during Su Jie? But now, there is no way out, so I can only pretend to be calm and watch the carriage drive to its destination.

……

The second master returned to the small courtyard.

When he opened the door, he saw the man sitting at the desk next to the window, facing the open window. He held a book in his hand, but his eyes were cast into the dark night.

"Is someone sending it there?" He didn't even look back.

"Yes." The second master said, "I promise her that I will let her go to the capital after we are done."

Knocking his pale knuckles on the armrest, the man said: "At that time, arrange for someone to follow the mother and daughter, just in case."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." The second master said.

"It's best not to take this step." He turned around and threw the book in his hand on the table, half worried and half sighing, "It's better to be soft-hearted. She knows too many of our secrets and shouldn't let her She left."

"Who wants to call Xiao Qi?" The second master sat down opposite him, "She must get Xiao Qi married."

The man remained silent, as if by default.

The second master noticed the book he just read, picked it up and flipped through it a few times: "How to summon souls? Why are you reading this? Are you worried that Xiao Qi's soul is unstable?"

The other side said: "Gods don't care about mortal matters, and Xuannv's idea of ​​collecting souls always seems weird."

"Besides this, there is no better explanation. After she regained consciousness, she still stayed with her mother every day. She didn't do anything extraordinary, she just knew some magic tricks. Didn't the Fourth come to ask you? You I say those techniques are useful, but not surprising."

"I hope I'm overthinking it." He asked again, "Is her illness cured?"

"Okay." The second master said, "Just stop being surprised. I have been drawing some talismans these past two days, and I want to provide them to Empress Xuannv."

“Drawing talismans?” He frowned and murmured, “She even knows how to draw talisman?”

……

The carriage drove all the way into Xinyuan.

Su Jie served Mingwei and got out of the car, and someone led them through the corridors and finally arrived at a wide courtyard.

The buildings are decorated with carved railings, embroidered brocades, gold and jade carvings, and beads and jade.

The thick tallow candles illuminated the courtyard like daylight.

Mingwei raised his eyes and saw no young master. Except for the maids, there were only beautiful women in brocade and gauze, either showing off their graceful figures and practicing dancing, or playing the musical instruments in their hands and singing softly.

Her arrival just gave them an indifferent look and continued to do their own thing.

It’s not a big deal to wear a power fence. There are all kinds of costumes among them, aren’t they all to please the one?

Su Jie stepped aside and stood with the maids. The maid who led them over pointed to a piano and said to Mingwei: "Practice your skills first, and don't make mistakes in front of the young master later."

Seeing this situation, Su Jie broke into a cold sweat.

The young lady has never learned the piano, and now that she has revealed her secret, it will be hard to explain to the second master.

Mingwei has already sat down.

Under Sujie's nervous gaze, she reached out and plucked a few notes, then slowly connected them into a tune.

Hey, Miss, you can actually do it?

Of course Mingwei will. The master is the best at playing the piano. She can't be called a proficient one, but she is comparable to the average violinist.

Not long after, the steward came over, gathered the women together, and loudly announced the arrangements for tonight.

This Young Master Yang has a very special way of playing.

When others drink and have fun, they all sing and dance together, and play a piece of music at the same time.

It's good for him, he just listens to music, steps and dances, and watches the dance and music.

What does it mean?

It's just a random selection of people. The singer and the dancer come on stage at the same time. You can choose any song or dance at will.

Because I have not practiced before~IndoMTL.com~, there are many more variables.

If you have good skills, you can excel, and if you make mistakes, you can still have fun.

Mingwei mixed in with the singing and dancing girls and entered the main room.

The embroidered curtains were layered one after another. After walking for a long time, my eyes suddenly became clear.

In the spacious hall, the seats are divided into two rows.

There are not many people there. Judging by their clothes, they are all wealthy young men.

They were all in a wild mood, holding the beautiful actress in their arms.

"Master, everyone is here."

Covered by the power fence, Mingwei raised his eyes and looked directly.

But at the top of the table, a young man was leaning half-leaning, holding his head with one hand, lazily drinking wine from the glass.

Hearing the voice, he looked up.

Ming Wei heard it clearly, and a low exclamation sounded in his ears.

This Mr. Yang is indeed so handsome that it makes people look at him. Especially the cinnabar mole on his eyebrows made him look fairy-like and gorgeous.

It is not easy for her to remember her appearance, but her contradictory temperament makes it difficult to recognize her.

Young master Yang quickly looked away and said in a lazy tone: "Guard Lei, just now you disliked the vulgar and vulgar fans, but now you can't ignore them, right? Let's pick one first?"

After hearing this, Mingwei noticed that a young man was sitting in the seat nearest to him.

He was wearing regular clothes, with a tight expression and a straight posture, which was in sharp contrast to the **** in the seat.

This person seems to be...

By the way, Lei Hong. The guards around Jiang Wenfeng.

Why is he here?

The guard Lei wanted to stand up, but Young Master Yang spoke again: "We are not in court, why are we so reserved? Just sit down and answer."

Lei Hong had no choice but to sit down: "Yes." After a pause, he replied, "The lower official doesn't like this, so please show me your noble hand."
