Chapter 388 Banquet

Qin Chi did not interact with people from the palace after he came to the capital.

Prince Rui’s connections in the court.

Qin Chi didn't seem to have any contact with them either.

No, there is a Duke of Ningguo.

Duke Ning had invited Qin Chi to attend the wedding banquet at his mansion. But Duke Ning had invited a lot of people, so adding Qin Chi was not a big deal, especially since they had received news that the eldest grandson of the emperor, Helian Mian, had privately met Qin Chi by using Duke Ning's relationship.

Perhaps it's the intuition of people of the same kind.

Yan Jiangnan had his eyes on Qin Chi.

Helian Kai said: "How could a rookie like him see through your plan last night?"

"My lord and I were also twenty years old back then."

If Yan Jiangnan's relatives had not made mistakes that cut off his path to the imperial examination, he would not have chosen to serve as the prince's aide after being rescued by the prince. He would have taken the formal path to the imperial examination and entered the court as an official.

But there is no "if" in life, regrets are everywhere.

Helian Kai asked again: "How do you plan to solve the Zhang family's problem?"

"Send someone to transfer the medicinal materials and grains that the Zhang family has stockpiled. Even if something happens to the Zhang family, the medicinal materials and grains will not be a problem." To put it bluntly, for them, the greatest role of the Zhang family is the silver, grain and medicinal materials they provide.

This is to ensure the supply of the army after the uprising.

Helian Kai immediately understood what Yan Jiangnan meant, "You are not going to manage the Zhang family anymore. The Zhang family has been with me for decades. If you abandon them like this, will others be disappointed?"

"My lord is a man who can accomplish great things."

Yan Jiangnan was aware of his lord's cruelty.

Especially recently, he has become more and more impatient. This is just talk.

In fact, when he came here, Helian Kai was in a strangely good mood.

Mainly because he heard that nothing happened last night, Yan Jiangnan, who was known for his perfect plan, was once again defeated. As for Yan Jiangnan's statement that Qin Chi was the man behind the scenes, he believed it to 80%.

He sent so many people to kill Qin Chi and his wife and children.

Qin Chi failed every time. Who else could he be suspicious of? Even his wife Song Jin was very suspicious. According to the investigation, this woman was incredible. She had developed such a big business in just a few years and became one of the best drug dealers in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Yan Jiangnan took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and asked, "I heard that the Lord sent a message to Fuzhou a few days ago, asking someone to bring Song Kuan to the capital? But the journey is long, I'm afraid it will take some time."

"We received news that Qin Chi's wife has been looking for her family. This is a very useful chess piece. If used at a critical moment, it may be able to surprise the enemy."

"really."

“…”

When the other party is plotting.

The day for the Qin family’s new banquet has arrived.

Many things, such as ingredients and contacting chefs, need to be prepared in advance. Song Jin only asks about them occasionally, and the rest of the matters are handled by Old Li.

Song Jin took his servants with him the day before to clean the house inside and out. The places that needed repairs earlier were also repaired. The renovated house looked brand new.

The day of the banquet.

The whole family put on new clothes.

The morning was filled with joy.

Only Song Jin kept sitting in front of the mirror, applying makeup over and over again, but she was never satisfied with the makeup she put on. It's not that she didn't make herself ugly, but no matter how she put on the makeup, she still looked good.

Qin Chi sat aside and watched.

I tried several times to get her to stop bothering.

But when he thought about her stunning appearance being revealed, he felt somewhat unhappy. Why should he let others see the treasure he had treasured for so long?

So, he supported Song Jin's approach.

After waiting for half an hour, Song Jin still had a frown on her face. Qin Chi stood up, walked to the dressing table, and took the specially made rouge from Song Jin's hand.

"What kind of makeup do you want, ma'am?"

Qin Chi asked in a low voice.

Song Jin thought for a moment and said, "I put on a light makeup over the plain makeup I wore in the past. After putting on the makeup, I look a bit pretty. It's a rare opportunity for me to show my face, and I can't embarrass my husband."

"Okay, I understand."

Qin Chi is not good at putting makeup on women, but he is good at painting.

After studying several tools made by Song Jin himself, when Song Jin went to wash off the makeup on her face, Qin Chi had already figured them out and quickly got the hang of it. Then he asked Song Jin to sit down, and he began to concentrate on drawing on Song Jin's face.

There is a rumor that his wife is ugly.

Qin Chi felt uncomfortable listening to this, but he couldn't refute it. After all, the person who was talking about it wouldn't say it in front of him, so he didn't have a chance to refute it.

Today is a good time.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Chi's calm and focused face. "Husband, how is the Jinyiwei investigating the Zhang family?"

"The Royal Guards were blocked."

Qin Chi told Song Jin about the news he had recently received. "Don't you think it's strange? The people sent by the Jinyiwei to investigate the Zhang family have encountered accidents many times. Either the horses have gone crazy or the Jinyiwei have diarrhea. There are always some problems when they go out. It's very strange. The commander is not investigating the Zhang family now, but another round of investigation of the Jinyiwei traitors."

The last time Qin Chi was attacked, the Jinyiwei was purged internally.

How long has it been?

Another half hour passed.

Qin Chi drew the last stroke between Song Jin's eyebrows, and then put down the eyebrow pencil in his hand, "Okay, my lady, take a look."

Song Jin looked left and right in the bronze mirror.

The woman in the mirror was blurry, and he could only see a rough outline of her. Qin Chi asked Mu Ting to fetch a basin of clean water, "I think it will be clearer if I use water."

Song Jin took another photo and praised, "My husband, your craftsmanship is good."

"My lady, you are too kind."

Qin Chi humbly waved his sleeves and saluted Song Jin in a formal manner, which made Song Jin unable to help but smile with her hands covering her lips. Her eyes were misty, clear, charming and alluring.

Qin Chi was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, he felt a little regretful. Did he draw his wife too pretty? In fact, she was not stunning.

In the capital, after putting on this kind of makeup, her appearance could be considered average at best, but her beautiful eyes, as bright as autumn water, could not be concealed by makeup.

An ordinary face with these eyes.

Her appearance improved a lot instantly. She was originally of average appearance, but when she looked at him with smiling eyes, his heart was still pounding and he was dazed for a while.

"That was a bad idea, my lady."

Qin Chi stretched out his big hand in distress and covered Song Jin's eyes, "Learn to restrain your eyes, and it's better not to smile like that. When you smile, you look completely different..."

Still beautiful and enchanting.

Song Jin smiled even more when he heard that, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light.

Qin Chi finally understood clearly.

His wife is beautiful not only in appearance, but also in her unique aura.

Fortunately, the guests were men, so he was in charge of entertaining them. My wife only needed to entertain the female family members in the backyard.
