This was quite strange. Originally, his master asked him to stop Li Rongsen and An Yan from getting married, but now he just ignored it. However, he had no objection. This was actually a good thing as he didn't have to take any risks. After all, Li Rongsen had just begun to trust him.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Gongze did not plan to stay here for long. He walked outside, but saw Li Rongsen coming to his yard. He strode forward and asked him, "Mr. Li, why are you here?"
"I'm looking for you. Where have you been?" Li Rongsen stopped, turned to look at Xu Gongze, and said to him.
"There is a very quiet place over there, and there is a pavilion. I'll go sit there, hoping to get some inspiration for making jewelry." Xu Gongze told the truth, as he thought this would avoid arousing suspicion.
Li Rongsen nodded and said, "Meidi also wants to make a golden crown, you design it for her."
"Okay." Xu Gongze nodded, and then motioned Li Rongsen to go with him to the gold-making yard.
For several days in a row, lights were on in all the manufacturing places in the city. Everyone worked overtime to prepare for the city lord's wedding banquet, and they had no complaints, all because Li Rongsen gave a lot.
The wedding dress has been prepared and the servants have been ordered to carry it to Anyan's room.
An Yan looked it up and down and said, "This must have taken a lot of effort. How many pearls did you use?"
"One hundred and eight." The old man said with a smile. It took the embroiderer's full efforts to make such a gorgeous dress.
"It's so beautiful. Look at this robe, it's a phoenix and it's made of gold. It's so luxurious." Mei Die was so envious that she didn't even dare to touch the dress for fear of damaging it.
Bei Feng felt that Li Rongsen was very generous and could really do such a thing. It was feared that it would be difficult to find another wedding dress like this one.
"Too luxurious." An Yan frowned slightly.
"I don't think so. On the contrary, I think it's just right. The wedding of our West City Lord must be the best." The old man felt that the money was well spent.
Yan Qingqiu asked: "When will the guests arrive?"
"Before noon tomorrow, they will arrive one after another, and then they will perform the ceremony before dinner. I have already made all the arrangements, and I will definitely not neglect the guests." The old man said with a smile, "We should take this opportunity to have a good gathering."
An Yan said: "Are all of them invited?"
“Except for the Lord of Dark Moon, everyone else has already responded to me and will arrive on time tomorrow.” The old man said with a smile, thinking that West City’s reputation was well-deserved. Even if some of them didn’t want to come, they wouldn’t dare not come, otherwise they would be going against West City. But the Lord of Dark Moon was an exception, he didn’t belong to this place originally, so he wouldn’t force it.
Yan Qingqiu chuckled and said, "It's going to be lively now. I'm really looking forward to the three-day and three-night banquet."
"You're just thinking about eating." Meidie sneered at him.
"Otherwise, would I think that if a woman wants to get married, she will naturally think about food." Yan Qingqiu felt that she was thinking too much.
But Meidie didn't think so and said, "You can think about your disciples. Aren't they worth your consideration?"
"Do you believe I will teach you a lesson?" Yan Qingqiu pretended to attack her.
Mei Die quickly hid in Bei Feng's arms, making faces at Yan Qing Qiu and saying, "That girl named Fei Xue is a good disciple, so it's only natural that I should think of her."
"I don't want to bother with you." Yan Qingqiu sneered, but he had to admit in his heart that this woman named Feixue was very hardworking and ambitious, and she was very talented. He was afraid that he would not be able to teach her in the near future, so he said to An Yan, "Hey, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" An Yan asked.
"Feixue is a smart woman. She can learn things once she is taught. I plan to let her come and learn from you for a while. I'm afraid she will be able to take care of the pharmacy." Yan Qingqiu said to her.
An Yan was a little surprised and asked, "Why, even you can't teach her anymore?"
"That's exactly what I meant." Yan Qingqiu nodded slightly and admitted it generously.
"I can testify that she is indeed a good candidate. Most importantly, she is also very studious and can draw inferences from one example. She is really a good girl." Meidie said this very seriously, and added, "Besides, she is very beautiful."
"You haven't seen her face, so how do you know she must be beautiful?" Yan Qingqiu asked her, wondering if this woman had X-ray vision since she was clearly wearing a veil all day long.
Meidie chuckled and said, "You haven't seen it, but I have. When she took off her veil, she was indeed very beautiful. There was just a small, long scar on her cheek, but I don't think it has any impact."
"You have actually seen her." For some reason, Yan Qingqiu felt unhappy. He was not the first person to see Feixue's face. Mei Die got there first.
Meidie said: "You are jealous."
"Nonsense, I'm not jealous at all, it's not true." Yan Qingqiu frowned and asked, "Why did she want to see you? Did she study medicine to heal her face?"
"She didn't say that. You can go ask her yourself." Mei Die really didn't know. She looked at An Yan and found that An Yan didn't listen to her and Yan Qingqiu, but was only discussing things with the old man.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"I won't sleep tonight. I still have a lot of things to deal with. I have to receive guests tomorrow morning." The old man said, leaving the gift list behind, "Tomorrow I will write down their gifts one by one, and then return them in equal amounts. We in West City don't need to take advantage of them."
"That's true, and it's also our way of reciprocating." An Yan also meant the same thing. She didn't get married to make money.
"By the way, why doesn't Li Rongsen come back? He has been very close to Xu Gongze recently, and the two are always together." Yan Qingqiu said.
"Oh, you are jealous again." Meidie teased Yan Qingqiu again.
Yan Qingqiu frowned and said, "You are such a weird woman. You keep saying the word jealous. Why should I be jealous? One is my apprentice and the other is my friend."
Meidie said: "You can be jealous."
Yan Qingqiu sighed, and then said to Bei Feng: "Please take this woman away from West City as soon as possible. I can't get along with her anymore."
"We will leave after the wedding banquet." Beifeng continued.
An Yan asked: "Have you decided?"
"Yes, we have already discussed it." Mei Die also nodded. Although she was reluctant, she still had to go. After all, she was going to marry him, and she might as well adapt herself earlier.
An Yan immediately said to the old man: "Please prepare another gift and let Mei Die take it over."
The old man nodded slightly and said, "I understand. You don't need to worry about these trivial matters, just be your bride." He added, "Mr. Li should be here soon. He should go to the river tonight. We should set off then. It will be dark soon. How can we set off?"
"Of course he doesn't want to leave early. Maybe he wants to set off early tomorrow morning." Yan Qingqiu could probably guess what Li Rongsen was thinking.
This was exactly what Li Rongsen meant, so he was not in a hurry.
But this made the old man unhappy. He said bluntly: "This is not okay. This is the rule. You can't meet the night before. Let him go quickly. You go with him and take the others to the river."
