Bai Shuang twisted his wrist.

She whispered to Yan Xin: "That brocade box is very heavy."

Yan Xin did not look back, and continued to walk forward with Bai Shuang, pretending to be chatting about the lingering drizzle.

"How are your hands?" Yan Xin asked.

Bai Shuang: "No injuries, just a little sore. The brocade box weighs about three pounds or ten pounds."

A hint of gloom flashed in Yan Xin's heart.

Bai Shuang said, "Miss, I picked it up and handed it to that person. When he picked it up with one hand, it was as light as nothing."

Yan Xin: "Who is this person? The adjutant of the Guo family?"

Bai Shuang doesn't know.

The Guo family is not Yan Xin's enemy. Bai Shuang's attention is not here and he has hardly inquired about the inside story of the Guo family.

The two of them were about the same height, and they were under the same umbrella. They spoke very softly, so it was impossible for the woman leading the way to hear them.

But Yan Xin was still worried that the walls had ears, so she didn't continue, and just told Bai Shuang: "Go find medicated oil and rub your wrists. Nan Shu and I are safe together."

Bai Shuang obeyed her instructions: "Yes."

We arrived at the West Flower Hall in an instant.

Yan Xin walked in and her eyes were shocked.

The West Flower Hall of the Guo family is particularly large, twice as big as the banquet hall of the Governor's wife. It is decorated with new colorful glass, marble floor tiles, and seven or eight crystal lanterns hanging.

The crystal lamp is bright, the branches are complicated, and it shines brightly, illuminating the floor tiles so that you can identify objects.

The room is full of young men and women, fashionable, elegant, light and pretty, chatting in groups of twos and fours, and laughing happily from time to time.

A musician played slow piano music, and the sound of the piano floated around.

Yan Xin walked in and many people saw her.

Everyone came towards her and greeted her: "Miss, it's been a long time, do you still remember me?"

Yan Xin: "You are Miss Dou, I remember you."

Soon, Guo Qinian arrived.

She was the host of this banquet and wore a milky white Western-style dress. The long skirt reaches the ankles, and there are large expanses of lace on the chest, which is pretty and charming.

"Miss, please go here and drink some wine to moisten your throat." Guo Qinian said.

Yan Xin: "There are many guests today. Miss Guo doesn't need to greet me. I will take care of things myself."

"That's no excuse. Miss, please help yourself." Guo Qinian stopped talking and turned around to greet the others.

Yan Xin looked around and saw neither Sheng Rouzhen nor Zhang Nanshu.

Two young ladies chatted with Yan Xin, and the three of them sat down on the small chairs in the west corner and chatted about the light rain today.

Yan Xin also asked them who they were and what their names were.

One is named Fang and the other is named Meng. They are both daughters of high-ranking military officials. Yan Xin deliberately observed their expressions to easily judge their personalities.

The two ladies were not flattering to Yan Xin, but were generous and generous, and Yan Xin felt comfortable chatting with them.

At this moment, Guo Qinian came over with a glass of red wine.

She held the transparent glass with her delicate white fingers. The dark red wine in the glass swayed as she walked. As she got closer, she could smell a faint fruity aroma.

She handed it to Yan Xin and said with a smile: "Miss, let's talk later."

——Just now, he said that Yan Xin should do as she pleases, and now he specially sent her wine.

Yan Xin smiled and did not refuse her. He went out with her from the back door of the West Flower Hall and walked to the eaves behind.

The drizzle is like silk, densely woven diagonally, and the courtyard seems to be covered with a layer of gauze, filled with water mist.

"I heard my father mention you several times." Guo Qinian spoke first.

Yan Xin: "Mr. Guo probably dislikes me very much."

Guo Qinian was not hypocritical, but laughed: "You are right, he gritted his teeth when he mentioned you.

So I told my brother that Miss Yan must be a very capable person. My father is a snobbish person. If he were an ordinary person, he would not be qualified to be scolded by him.

This time I am hosting a banquet, and he specifically told me to invite you. You are the most powerful girl in Yicheng. Miss Rouzhen is not as good as you. "

Yan Xin took a sip of wine.

Guo Qinian spoke unhappily, and the information in his words was too dense.

He criticized her father openly and secretly, and instigated the relationship between Yan Xin and Sheng Rouzhen.

I heard that the military governor wanted to marry Guo Qinian to Jing Yuanzhao. The warlord must have met Guo Qinian and admired her very much, so he came up with such an idea.

——Not a good person!

"I'm just a widow." Yan Xin smiled.

Guo Qinian’s story.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Someone walked over from the backyard, wearing a dark blue striped suit, a waistcoat of the same color, a pocket watch decorated on the breast pocket, and a shiny chain.

Guo Qinian saw him and said hello first: "Brother."

Then he said to Yan Xin, "This is my brother, Guo Ting."

"Master Guo." Yan Xin nodded slightly.

Guo Ting called her "Miss" and asked, "Where is your maid? She is very strong. Didn't she twist her hand just now?"

Then he said to Guo Qinian, "I just moved things out and a box almost fell. The eldest lady's maid picked it up for me. It was a bit heavy."

He was so open-minded, as if it was just an accident.

Yan Xin smiled: "She didn't know that the brocade box was heavy. Her wrist was injured, so she went to find medicinal wine to apply it."

"I have very good medicine and I will give it to her later." Guo Ting said, "This maid is interesting. What is her name?"

"Hoarfrost."

"The eldest lady will choose the name." Guo Ting said.

The three of them chatted for a while. Yan Xin vaguely heard Zhang Nanshu's voice and was looking for her all over the place.

"I'll go in first." Yan Xin said.

She returned to the West Flower Hall.

Zhang Nanshu and Sheng Rouzhen arrived together. They saw Yan Xin's car at the door, but did not see her person, so they were a little worried.

Under the eaves, the Guo brother and sister stood for a moment.

"Have the arrangements been made?" Guo Qinian asked.

Guo Ting: "It's been arranged. But be careful, it could backfire. The people around Miss Yan are quite powerful."

"Didn't you take care of that maid?"

"I didn't expect her kung fu to be so good. She just twisted her hand, so it's probably nothing serious." Guo Ting said.

Guo Qinian smiled and took a sip of red wine. The wine stains stained her lips red: "It doesn't matter, I can beat a servant."

Guo Ting stopped persuading.

When Bai Shuang returned to Xihua Hall, she met Guo Ting again in the corridor.

Guo Ting apologized to her and took the initiative to bring her a bottle of medicated oil: "Rub it, it will be fine in a few days."

Bai Shuang didn't answer: "I don't have a pocket, and I have to serve the eldest lady later. I accept it with kindness, Master Guo."

"You didn't know me just now, but now you know who I am. You are very capable. Do you think you are showing off your talents by following the eldest lady?" Guo Ting said with a smile.

After hearing this, Bai Shuang didn't get angry or show any strange expression. He just said: "Our eldest lady is a noble person. It is my honor to serve by her side."

Guo Ting smiled: "It seems that Jing Yuanzhao has taught you to be very loyal. Are you from the Young Marshal's secret service?"

Bai Shuang: "No."

Guo Ting: "I think so. You won't tell me, but I can see your skills. I have also been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Did you know that? I have a chance to learn a few moves."

Bai Shuang said neatly: "Okay, I will definitely learn from you when I get the chance. I will go on duty first, Master Guo."

She bypassed Guo Ting and walked quickly towards the West Flower Hall.

The servants couldn't go in to serve, so Bai Shuang only stood in the corridor at the door.

Guo Ting stood there, looking over here.
