Chapter 357 We Are All Country People
Lord Shi sent his wife and daughter back and asked them to promise again and again not to come out.
But the people here began to take action.
When Lord Shi arrived, Lord Qiu's family members had just sat down.
Another person, Lord Zhu, who was close to Lord Qiu, also came with his wife, daughter and son.
When these people entered the room, they couldn't help but look at Qin Yan who was sitting at the top, and then at Shen Nuo.
Shen Nuo was eating quietly the whole time and was not affected at all.
However, Qin Yu and He Fang, who were standing by, immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Qiu Wenchao began to introduce his brothers and sisters.
"These are my three daughters and two brothers. Why don't you come and see the general?"
Several people walked to the middle and saluted Qin Yan.
"Meet the general."
The voice was so soft and weak that most men would not be able to bear it.
Qin Yu just felt that this scene was like asking Qin Yan to pick cabbage.
His eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but look at his fourth cousin standing beside him.
Hearing this, Qin Yan frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Shen Nuo without even glancing at those people.
However, after Lord Qiu finished the introduction, others also began to introduce their own girls and boys.
The men below all understood what this meant, but since it wasn't said explicitly, they didn't want to get angry.
Moreover, this matter mainly depends on what the general himself thinks.
Some people have already made up their minds that if the general really dares to betray the national master, then they will take the national master away themselves and not leave any ship for Qin Yan.
They thought General Song was a good guy, so if that didn't work out, they would send the Imperial Master to General Qi.
At least General Qi is sincere to the Imperial Master. Even if she is a girl, it is better than a heartless man.
Qin Yan looked at them and waved his hand, asking them to sit down.
Qiu Wenchao's eyes became brighter.
See? This matter is almost exposed, but the Imperial Master dares not say a word. I guess he has tacitly agreed that Qin Yan will find a concubine.
He couldn't help but cast a smug look at Lord Shi and the others.
See, you don't listen to him? After this, he can go back to the capital in glory.
The girls and guys below were all overjoyed. Did the general have any intention of rejecting them?
Although this kind of thing is not made public, even a fool can see what it means.
The looks they gave Shen Nuo were somewhat provocative, as if they had already seen what Shen Nuo looked like after he fell out of favor.
As a brother, why do you pretend to be so noble?
Shen Nuo felt the gazes of those people, looked up, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
Mr. Qiu's daughter picked up the wine glass and said to Shen Nuo:
"Master Imperial Master, I, Qiu Su, have long admired your name. Would you be so kind as to have a drink with me?"
Shen Nuo lowered his eyes, tugged at Qin Yan's sleeve, and signaled him to calm down.
"I am not feeling well, so drink it yourself, girl."
The girl opened her eyes wide, and the smile on her face gradually turned into aggrieved, as if she was about to cry:
"Well, well, it's my fault..."
She looked at Qin Yan lovingly and said:
"I don't know what to do..."
"I'll drink with you. Come on, pour the wine."
Before she could finish, He Fang spoke directly.
Although He Fang is not a female soldier under Qi Ling, she has accumulated some military merits in this battle and is now a seventh-rank Yihui captain.
Drinking with the daughter of a prefect was considered a compliment to Qiu Su.
However, Qiu Su herself did not think so. She even looked down on this ordinary-dressed peasant girl.
Even if they can fight, so what? They are still rough-skinned and not presentable.
But in front of Qin Yan, she still said aggrievedly:
"Well, well, thank you for your kindness, young lady."
He Fang kept looking at her with sharp eyes.
She drank the wine in her hand, turned the bowl upside down, and looked at her:
"Miss Qiu, it's your turn."
Qiu Su didn't want to drink at first, but seeing He Fang was like this, it would be inappropriate for her not to drink.
She could only bite the bullet and raise her head to drink, and the person she was facing was always Qin Yan. Tears flashed in her eyes, and she was full of grievances. Others would definitely think that He Fang bullied her.
"Cough cough cough..."
Qiu Su drank the wine and immediately started to cough. His already aggrieved look now looked even more pitiful.
Even the other officers and soldiers from Haicheng nearby couldn't help but want to hug this adorable beauty in their arms and coax her.
He Fang didn't let her go just because of this, instead she sneered:
"Miss Qiu's alcohol tolerance is not that good. It seems that you need to practice more. If that doesn't work, drink more green tea. Green tea won't make you drunk, right?"
Qiu Su clenched her hands tightly on her sides. The key point was that she was really choked. She was coughing and gasping for breath and couldn't say anything.
He Fang ignored her and started chatting loudly with Qin Ruan next to her.
"Brother Ruan, if you can't drink, don't follow others and toast casually. This is not a good thing. Don't let yourself get choked to death."
Qin Ruan immediately answered:
"That's right, this is in front of so many people, it's so rude and ugly..."
After saying that, he covered his mouth as if he had said something wrong, and said with a smile:
"Look at me, I'm just a country boy, I don't know the rules here, I just spoke the truth carelessly, please forgive me."
Lord Qiu, who was about to get angry, was interrupted by Qin Ruan's words, and his face turned red.
There is nothing we can say. If we say that they don't know the rules, then we are directly scolding the general. These people are from the same hometown as the general.
But if he didn't curse, he couldn't swallow his anger, so he could only pick up the cup and drink water.
The next second: "Cough cough cough..."
Lord Qiu gulped down a large glass of liquor before he realized that he had picked up the wrong glass.
He Fang almost laughed out loud:
"Oh, I was wondering why Miss Qiu's alcohol tolerance is so poor. It turns out that she inherited it from Master Qiu. Master Qiu should take care of his health. Don't drink so much next time."
"That's right, the way you eat is really ugly."
Qin Ruan chimed in again, then covered her mouth again:
"Oh, I'm such a bad mouth. Sir Qiu, please don't bother with peasants like us."
"Cough cough cough..."
The father and daughter looked like they were about to cough to death, and Mrs. Qiu hurriedly helped Mr. Qiu to calm down.
She looked at Qin Ruan with some resentment, but Qin Ruan and the others didn't even look at them.
They continued to eat and drink as if they didn't exist.
Shen Nuo watched them talking without interrupting. He Fang and Qin Ruan were not the kind of people who would suffer a loss. When it came to quarreling, he dared to say that no one present could beat them.
Shen Nuo has been eating the steamed fish on the table. It is not as delicious as the one made by A Yan, but the plum sauce is good. Next time, he will ask Qin Yan to try making the same.
