MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 267 mix in
They don't have a single acquaintance in the rivers and lakes. Of course, they are not afraid of being recognized, but they are afraid of being remembered and found in turn.
Chen Zhu didn't know the truth, and praised Gu Jingyun with joy, "You are really thoughtful, Chunxi, let's go."
Chen Zhu took Li Baolu to buy make-up stuff, booked a room at a nearby inn and went in to do her makeup.
People who are mixed in all corners of the world can use makeup, and they are only good at it and not good at it. Chen Zhu has a lot of hands-on training with senior sisters at home, but it is the first time that it is really used in practice.
But she was very confident in her skills, and volunteered to tell Li Baolu, "Chunxi, let me help you."
"No, I do makeup very quickly, I'll help Qing and brother transform first, you first transform your own." Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun didn't use their own names, but reported their characters.
Chen Zhu saw that she was very skilled in choosing makeup items, so she also took her own to the side to make up.
Li Baolu helped Gu Jingyun smear something on his face, neck and hands, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to go?"
"It's a rare opportunity, so there's nothing wrong with seeing it." Gu Jingyun smiled lightly: "And don't you want to see their faces?"
's face after Bai Yitang never appeared.
Li Baolu was scratching like a cat's claws in her heart, so she put on his makeup with a sullen face, turning him from a handsome boy into a silly black boy.
In fact, she just darkened his face and made his cheeks rounder and plumper. In addition, Gu Jingyun looked at the new image in the bronze mirror and deliberately changed his temperament, making him completely another person.
Then Li Baolu smeared something on her body. She dressed herself up in the direction of her old age, made her face yellower, raised her eyebrows, and trimmed her face slightly. A little bit of rouge was put on, and with a sip, the girl who was still childish and round in the bronze mirror turned into a charming young woman.
Chen Zhu turned her head to look for Li Baolu excitedly, she was startled, she said in shock, "Chunxi, why are you so ugly?"
"It's safer that way."
Chen Zhu looked at her for a long time, then turned to look at Gu Jingyun, and sighed: "Hello, you can wear makeup. If I hadn't known the truth, I would have never thought it was you when I met you."
Obviously they didn't smear much on them, but the whole person changed, she asked in amazement: "You are amazing, who taught you this?"
"My master." Bai Yitang is a thief, and dressing up is a compulsory course, so even if Li Baolu doesn't study very well, he is far better than others in the arena.
After putting on makeup, the three of them went to rent a carriage to Zhengjiabao.
Zhengjiabao is outside the city. His family's fort includes a lot of arable land. Many tenants live in the fort. Usually there are servants patrolling the fort, just like a great country gentry in the Wei and Jin eras.
It is said that Sun Zhifu expressed dissatisfaction with this and warned Zhengjiabao not to make weapons privately. Although he did not expressly say that he would deal with the demolition of the wall, his attitude was obvious. He did not like such a military-oriented castle under his rule.
Now the gate of the castle is wide open, and there are two long tables on both sides of the road in front of the gate, extending for about 50 meters, and they are full of food for the villagers to take.
Zheng Jiabao said that there will be running water banquets for ten days. In these ten days, these two long cases will always exist. Everyone eats as much as they eat.
The middle section of the road was vacated for the horses and carriages that came to pray for the birthday. Li Baolu sat on the carriage and opened the curtains to look out. She saw that there were pots of big steamed buns on the long table, all made of white flour, and the dishes were also served in pots. It is as big as a washbasin, and it has all kinds of meat and vegetables, and you can see large pieces of pork belly in the meat dishes.
Gu Jingyun also saw it, he glanced at the mighty villagers who came here with their bowls, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, looking very happy.
Chen Zhu took one look and then looked away, stuck out her tongue and whispered, "These dishes don't look delicious, and Zhengjiabao is too stingy."
Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu looked at each other, but didn't smile, stingy?
Chen Zhu is the eldest daughter who does not know the sufferings of the world.
When the three got off the bus at the door, Chen Zhu was nervous, but handed over the invitation with a calm face.
At this time, there were a lot of people from all corners of the country on horseback and on foot, and everyone lined up to hand over the invitation to the steward at the door.
Zheng Jiabao has widely distributed invitations this time, and even Zheng Hao himself does not know how many people he has invited. Naturally, it is impossible to recognize all the invitations and people one by one. The manager only glanced at the invitations to confirm that the invitations were genuine. They let people in respectfully.
This leave invitation card bought by Chen Zhu is very realistic, the steward opened it and invited people in respectfully.
Chen Zhu took the invitation and stuffed it into his sleeve, heaving a sigh of relief, and winked with Li Baolu after entering the door.
The inside of the fort is completely different from the outside of the fort. Outside the fort are two tables that extend out, but inside the fort is a large open space filled with round tables.
Li Baolu and the others followed the crowd for a quarter of an hour before arriving at the open space. She stomped her feet and glanced at the land on the ground. She knew that the dry land had been filled up, and it was about the size of two football fields. The table is full, and the crowd is full of heads.
There is also a table at the front. There are more than ten round tables on the table, which should be used by the most distinguished guests.
Generally speaking, the host of the birthday banquet will arrange the seats in advance, but because too many invitations are sent out, too many people come. Except for the famous individuals and sects in the rivers and lakes, the rest wait for the Zheng family to let them sit freely. , If someone is dissatisfied with the seat, it is quite simple. There are two tables on the left and right sides of the center table. If anyone is dissatisfied, they will challenge the person sitting there when they see the seat, and whoever wins will take the seat.
As long as both parties are not in trouble.
Everyone is very satisfied with this method, because the martial arts are always respected, and whoever is better has the final say.
And the younger generation and some small sects love this more, because it undoubtedly provides them with the opportunity to make a name for themselves.
They challenge the strong, lose no shame, win but become famous, why not do it?
The powerhouses don't think there's anything wrong with them. Anyway, today is Zheng Hao's birthday, and he doesn't mind any bloodshed. What else can they do?
But Li Baolu and the others did not dare to move forward. Chen Zhu was afraid of being discovered by her father, and Li Baolu was afraid of being challenged. She was the only one of their group who could do well. If she was challenged, would she be able to go up or not?
But it's not too far from the table. The banquet hall is too big. If it's too far away, not to mention listening to the people in front of you, no one can see it.
So Li Baolu digs into the corners. Because of the remote location, people don't like to sit even if they are close to the front of the stage, because everyone comes here to join in the fun and make friends, and sit in the corner with a few tables. What's going on here?
The three of them quickly found a good spot in the most remote location in front.
The reason why I want to add the most is because this table is placed on the farthest edge of the left side, and there is a pillar on the edge to hang a cloth curtain, covering most of the table, not only the people sitting on the table are hard to see on the big table. Even the people in the banquet hall can hardly see this table, only their lower table can see them completely.
This table should not have been placed here again, but there may be unexpectedly many people who came today, so it was temporarily set up again. Now there are only three people on the table, and they are only six, but their subordinates. The table was full of people.
As soon as the three of them sat down, they nodded slightly to the other three people at the same table, and then shook their fists with the people at the next table to say hello.
At this time, there were more people in the banquet hall. At first glance, it was densely packed with people. Li Baolu also saw that some family members were constantly moving tables here, and some people took shovels and filled the soil. Obviously, it was a temporary expansion of the venue. .
Li Baolu felt sympathy for Lord Zheng Baolu, how much would it cost to eat a meal for so many people, and how much would it cost to mix things like them.
You must know that when they came, they just randomly went to the dim sum shop to pack a few boxes of dim sum as birthday gifts. I am afraid that the dim sum is not as good as the ones on the table now.
She coughed lightly, suppressed her laughter, sat down, and said to Gu Jingyun, "I'm looking forward to their expressions when they open our gift box."
Gu Jingyun coughed lightly, and couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes. He glanced at the guests and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, there must be many people like us."
"Why are there not a few?" Chen Zhu probed over and asked.
Li Baolu pushed her head away and said, "Qinghe said that there must be a lot of people coming to the birthday banquet this time."
The other three people at the same table looked over and nodded: "The girl is right. It's still half-morning, and noon has not yet arrived. I think this is an event that has almost disturbed the entire river and lake. Lord Zheng has a lot of face."
The person who got off the table sneered when he heard this. Li Baolu turned his head to take a look, and almost couldn't help turning his head back. It seemed that his luck was a little bad, and he met an "old friend".
Gu Jingyun glanced down the table lightly, then looked back as if nothing had happened, and raised his hand to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Li Baolu, finally allowing Li Baolu to turn his head back as if nothing had happened.
Chen Zhu, who was sitting on the other side of Li Baolu, glared at the man in Tsing Yi who sneered, "What are you laughing at, are they right?"
The man in blue swiped his folding fan and said, "That's right and wrong."
The faces of the three people at the same table were a little gloomy, "How is it right, why is it wrong?"
"This birthday banquet really shocked the whole river and lake. There are many people who came, but no one from Wudang, Shaolin, Huashan, Emei and other major sects appeared. How can it be regarded as a grand event? ," The man in Tsing Yi said meaningfully: "It's too early to talk about this. But I think Fort Master Zheng might regret making such a big mess."
Li Baolu raised her eyebrows and looked at the big stage when she heard the words, but her vision was blocked by the pillars. She didn't see anything, but it didn't prevent her from pricking up her ears to listen. The big stage was still empty. Haven't come out yet.
She turned her head generously to look at the man in Tsing Yi, "That is to say, none of the first-class sects have come to congratulate the Lord of Zhengbao?"
The man in Tsing Yi nodded, feeling that Li Baolu was a little familiar, but he thought about it and found that he was not impressed, and said: "Not only the first-class sect, but also the second-class sect, there are very few people, most of them still send their disciples here."
So the people who come here are all small shrimps, trying to fish in troubled waters. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people just want to eat and drink.
