Xie's treasure hunt banquet was held in Xie's house. The four main streets leading to Xie's house were decorated early with lights and flowers on both sides of the streets.

Halfway through, the road was blocked.

Ming Ge poked his head out of the car window and saw that the luxury carriages were jammed with water, and everyone was cursing.

"I wouldn't have taken this street if I had known it. It was completely blocked in front."

"That's impossible. The street is so wide that two carriages can pass through it. How can it be blocked?"

"I heard that we were changing camps at the border. I don't know what happened. One or two hundred people blocked the road. It's really unlucky. Our road is blocked. We will definitely be late now."

"If you can't, just get off the carriage and walk over. We won't be embarrassed. There seems to be Feng's carriage behind us. It would be a bit shameful to walk over."

"I guess this is the power that the Xie family gave to the Feng family. Who made the Feng family so arrogant that they brought a girl to collect debts in the middle of the night, making the Xie family lose face?"

"A show of force?" Ming Ge felt very bored after hearing this, and sneered, "As if no one wants to go. Let's go back."

Feng Mianzhou was sitting in the carriage. Seeing her rare cold face, he seemed to be angry. He nodded and said, "If you don't want to go, I will let Feng San go back."

Feng Mianzhou said and knocked on the car door.

Feng San: "Lang Jun, do you want to go back?"

Feng Mianzhou responded in a deep voice: "Go back."

Originally, it was the eldest brother who came to the banquet this time. As long as the eldest brother went, it would not be considered rude of the Feng family even if he did not go. What's more, the Xie family is treating their face like this, why should they rush to show their affection to others but not their butt?

As a result, as soon as the carriage turned around, a shout was heard from behind: "Is this the carriage of Feng Langjun and Yue Niangzi? I have been ordered to come and inform you that the road ahead has been opened. Please wait a moment."

While he was talking, he saw Xie Jinghuan coming angrily with a group of Xie's guards in fresh clothes.

"Mr. Feng Lang, Lady Yue, the old lady ordered me to come and greet you two personally." Xie Jinghuan, dressed in a blue brocade robe, came galloping on his horse. He turned over and dismounted. The Xie family guards behind him all dismounted, their aura was shocking. The whole street.

The children of the aristocratic families who were still taunting Feng just now all hunched their necks and shrank into the carriage.

Ming Ge opened the car window and saw the shy husband of the Xie family in his charming appearance. He bent his eyes and said with a smile: "Xie Xiaolangjun, you are fine. How can I bother you to come and greet him in person?"

Xie Jinghuan saw her cute little face with a sweet smile, and recalled that day when she came here on a moonlit night, which made Xie's chickens and dogs restless, and made him suffer thirty lashes, and was thrown into the dungeon covered in blood. As a result, he was tortured in the night. The old man fished it out and became one of the most popular candidates for the head of the Xie family.

This experience of going from hell to heaven, coupled with her bright and lively face, is like the most poisonous poison in the world, making people addicted and frightened.

Xie Jinghuan lowered his eyes and bowed: "Today, there was a conflict during the shift change of the Quancheng garrison, which blocked the intersection. I have sent people to detain all the troublemakers and wait for them to be punished. Mr. Xie and the old man treat the girl and husband as distinguished guests. There is no reason to be negligent, I will let others clear the way."

The onlookers were shocked. On a day like Xie's Treasure Hunting Banquet, it was impossible for Quancheng's defenders to dare to cause trouble. They just made trouble, but they blocked the street that Feng had to walk on. This was clearly someone from the Xie family who was trying to intimidate Feng. , but in the end, the old man of the Xie family actually asked Xie Jinghuan to come and persuade him to stay, which gave the Feng family enough face.

What is Xie Jinghuan’s status now? If Xie Shu gets married, Xie Jinghuan may become the head of the Xie family in the future.

This is simply a shameless face.

Feng Mianzhou smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. Thank you very much, old man."

Ming Ge asked: "Xie Jinghuan, are the whip wounds on your body feeling better?"

Xie Jinghuan lowered his head and said, "I'm fine now. Thank you, madam."

"I shouldn't have deceived you and asked you to take me to Xie's house that day. I apologize to you. Come on in the carriage and go with us." Ming Ge leaned against the car window and said with a smile.

Xie Jinghuan was stunned. The young man's heart felt faintly hot. The difference between riding a horse and riding a carriage was a world of difference.

Riding a horse to go to Xie's house, he was just a servant who cleared the way, and his status was lowered. If he rode in Feng's carriage, he would be on an equal footing with Feng Mianzhou. In the future, no one would use what happened today to laugh at him or suppress him.

She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she knew people's hearts well and knew his situation. Xie Jinghuan even wondered whether Ming Ge deliberately asked him to take her to the Xie family that day.

She could go alone with Feng Mianzhou.

The road from hell to power and fame now seemed like a gift from her.

"Thank you, madam, no need." Xie Jinghuan declined in a low voice. He has suffered enough cold looks and suppression since he was a child, especially after the old man wanted to adopt him into his direct lineage, the suppression he received was like a thunderstorm. He can bear it and is not afraid of the storms in the future.

Just because he hoped that in the future when people in Mingge heard people talk about the Xie family and Xie Jinghuan, they would hear praise instead of infamy.

“Mr. I can only accept the old man's kindness and support Xie Jinghuan to ascend to the throne.

Even if the young man of the Xie family occasionally looked at Ming Ge in a daze, Feng Mianzhou just pretended not to see him. Anyway, they would leave Quancheng tonight, and Ming Ge and he would probably never see each other again in the future.

Ming Ge opened the car door and said with a smile: "If Mr. Lang doesn't come up, then I will go down and ride a horse."

Xie Jinghuan hesitated for a moment and got into the carriage.

The carriage is full of aroma, with soft couches covered in silk embroidery, and a complete set of snacks on the tea table. The fragrance of tea is refreshing. Due to the large space, it is more than enough to seat three people, and it is very spacious.

After Xie Jinghuan got in the car, he saw that Feng Mianzhou and Ming Ge were wearing clothes of the same color and pattern, and his pupils narrowed, and he suddenly understood why Feng Mianzhou invited him up.

"Thank you, Madam and Sir."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "No thanks, we would like to thank you more. Xie Zhai must be very busy today. Xie Xiaolangjun must not have eaten yet. He will have some tea to cushion his stomach."

Ming Ge handed Xie Jinghuan his favorite tea snacks and fruits. Seeing his slightly red cheeks, his smiling eyes curved into small crescents.

Feng Mianzhou snorted coldly.

Ming Ge quickly sat down, forget it, stop teasing the husband of the Xie family, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Xie family. After helping the elder to collect the debt, Dayue Kingdom and the Xie family would no longer have anything to do with each other.

With Xie's bodyguards clearing the way, the road was quickly cleared. Other carriages gave way. Soon, Feng's carriage stopped at the door of Xie's house.

When the three of them got off the carriage, on the opposite street, the Qiu family brothers and sisters happened to get off the carriage as well.

The person who greeted the Qiu Mubai brothers and sisters was Xie Tianyu, a collateral descendant of the Xie family. He was also pushed out by the head of the Xie family after the Xie family's internal strife, and became the candidate for the head of the family at the same time as Xie Jinghuan and Xie Shu.

It can be said that Xie Jinghuan is from the old man's family, and Xie Tianyu is Xie Shu's replacement. Once Xie Shu gets married, Xie Tianyu will take over.

"It's Ming Ge." Qiu Yuxiu got off the carriage, feeling a little happy.

Qiu Mubai glanced at Ming Ge who was walking with Feng Mianzhou and Xie Jinghuan from a distance, and saw that she had a bright smile, wore the same color as Feng Mianzhou's skirt, and her eyes were slightly dark.

When a group of people entered the mansion, men and women were seated at separate tables. Ming Ge and Qiu Yuxiu went to the courtyard where the female family members rested.

In the small attic, Xie Shu put on a gorgeous red palace dress, outlined a charming peony flower between her eyebrows, attached pearls, and combed her silky long hair, making people also outline a pattern between her collarbones. Peony flower.

"Young lady will definitely shock everyone today and make the children of the Jiuzhou family go crazy."

Xie Shu's red lips curled up. She used to think that she had a noble status and disdained this flirtatious style, but after seeing Yue Mingge's shameless style, she felt it was necessary to win back.

Now that she has entered his cage today, he tells her to see the outside world. Don't dare to offend anyone easily just because she has the support of a man.

*

Xie's house is larger than Mingge expected. It is a standard for a wealthy family. The house is surrounded by a forest garden, and there is a forest garden behind the forest garden. If you are not a person who knows the way, it is easy to get lost in it.

The female family members were all arranged in Chimei Garden. Mrs. Xie invited Mrs. Zhao Guogong, who lived here as a widow, and also invited the ladies of officials from Quancheng. A group of noble ladies dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes, drank tea without smiling, and compared each other crazily. There were not many girls, all the local officials and daughters of Quancheng came.

Qiu Yuxiu's status is already the highest.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this treasure hunting banquet was hosted by Xie Shu, and all the guests were wealthy men. Whose girl would come to serve as a green leaf to set off the delicate flower of Xie Shu?

So when Ming Ge and Qiu Yuxiu entered the Wintersweet Garden, the eyes of the ladies enjoying tea in the courtyard lit up and they were secretly surprised. This girl was too beautiful. Even the county head, who was famous for his talent, was also a Xiaojiabiyu type beauty. , one is like the bright moon in the sky, and the other is like the stars beside the bright moon, which make the girls in the garden dim.

Mrs. Zhao Guogong came forward with a smile and took Qiu Yuxiu's hand: "This must be the county lord. I hugged you when you were young, but I didn't expect that you look like a flower now."

When Qiu Yuxiu was young, Duke Zhao was not yet dead, and his wife was still living in Shengjing. Unlike now, when her husband passed away and she lived as a widow in this small spring city, she could only remember the glory of the past.

Qiu Yuxiu smiled and said, "I have met the Duke's wife. Madam, this is the daughter of the Yue family."

Qiu Yuxiu is much bolder now. She knows that today's treasure hunt banquet is a Hongmen banquet for the girl. Naturally, she has to promote Ming Ge. With Ming Ge here, Xie Shu's desire to be more beautiful than others is simply a dream!

Mrs. Zhao Guogong looked at Ming Ge carefully and saw that Mrs. Xie's face was not good. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What a handsome girl, she looks like a concubine of the gods in the sky. Are your clothes a work of Shengjing Jinxiu Workshop? The green embroidered clouds on it are The pattern is lifelike, this one is worth a lot of money."

Other ladies and young girls all looked at the skirt she was wearing. The white cloud patterns were like flowing light, the green bamboo embroidered on it was as elegant as jade, and the texture was as soft as clouds. Plus there were more than a hundred pearls embroidered on the skirt. It was so beautiful. A woman with restrained brilliance and overwhelming nobility. No wonder the well-informed Mrs. Zhao Guogong lamented the dress she was wearing.

Everyone secretly speculated, didn't this girl come from the countryside of southern Xinjiang? How could you be so extravagant? Are the rumors true? She is the concubine of Feng Mianzhou, the heir to the Feng family. No, she must be the beloved. Otherwise, how could she be able to wear such an elegant and noble dress?

Ming Ge didn't know that this dress was from Jinxiufang. He had never heard of it, so he smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Duke, for your compliments. What is the treasure hunt banquet for today? Why don't you see a letter of thanks?"

Mrs. Xie forced a smile and said, "Shu'er will be here soon. Today's treasure hunt banquet is organized by the Xie family to thank various families for their support over the years. They invite everyone to taste seafood and view some rare things from South Asia."

All in all, it was a banquet hosted by the Xie family to show off how powerful and wealthy the Xie family was.

If it had been before, no one would have said that the Xie family was awesome, but a few days ago, the Xie family was asked to pay for debts in the middle of the night. Today, the creditor came to the door in person and showed off his beauty. The banquet was a little different. The Xie family felt a sigh of relief. I was so nervous that I couldn't get up or down, and most of the others were laughing.

Ming Ge smiled and said, "That's it."

While talking, I saw someone coming over there to announce that before the banquet started, the Xie family held a treasure hunting game and invited all distinguished guests to hunt for treasures in the Xie family garden. All treasures found belong to the guests.

"The treasures in the garden this time are divided into chalcedony, gold, antiques, and paintings and calligraphy. There are a total of twelve treasures and sixty-six antiques, calligraphy and paintings. All ladies are invited to come to the garden to participate."

The person who came to deliver the message was Xie Jinghuan.

As soon as Xie Jinghuan finished speaking, the young women all wrung their handkerchiefs excitedly, not because of the antique calligraphy and paintings, but because this was an opportunity created by Xie for the children of the aristocratic family and the women.

The elders and ladies of the aristocratic families maintain their own identities and naturally do not go into the garden to hunt for treasures, so only young men and ladies go there. If they go together on the treasure hunt, isn't it a good chance to get along?

Xie Shu could only choose one good husband, but with so many children from aristocratic families coming to the treasure hunting party this time, they could also take the opportunity to find the remaining good husband.

"Xie Langjun, which garden should we go to? Is it big?"

"Xie Langjun, will you also participate in this treasure hunt?"

"Xie's house is so big, what if we get lost?"

The eyes of the girls in Lamei Garden were almost glued to Xie Jinghuan. He was one of the young and handsome candidates from the aristocratic family. He was in Quancheng and did not need to marry far away. Compared with the noble Prince Zhaohe, Feng Mianzhou and Qiu Mubai, etc. Xie Jinghuan, in the eyes of the officials and daughters of Quancheng, was a first-class beloved man.

Xie Jinghuan lowered his eyes and whispered: "This time, Huan will not participate in the treasure hunt, but will enter the park to protect the safety of all the girls."

Xie Jinghuan glanced at Mingge as he spoke, and saw that she was secretly eating refreshments. A smile flashed in her eyes. The most dangerous person this time was Yue Mingge. She had betrayed the Xie family before, and the treasure hunting party was blatant. Di came to participate, and the one Xie Shu and Xie Tianyu wanted to deal with most now was her.

But she still secretly ate the tea without realizing it.

It doesn't matter, today, he is here to keep her safe.

A trace of tenderness flashed through Xie Jinghuan's heart. Even if he was just a passerby to her, he didn't want her to get hurt in any way.

All the girls became happy and stood up one after another to follow Xie Jinghuan into the garden.

Before Mingge finished a bite of green tea cake, Qiu Yuxiu pulled him up: "Mingge, let's go and have a look. If we find the treasure, Xie Shu will be even more angry."

Qiu Yuxiu felt faintly excited when she thought of the treasures buried throughout the garden by the Xie family. These could be used as additions to her dowry.

Ming Ge smiled and nodded without saying a word. How could the Xie family's garden be so easy to break into? Let's see what the Xie family's tricks are.

Seven or eight young girls followed Xie Jinghuan from Wintersweet Garden to the Orchid Garden where the treasure was hidden.
