Chapter 324 is nothing more than that
The banquet was scheduled for two days later. Wen Chengxuan did not mention the location, only saying that he would send someone to pick them up at Lu's house.
On the day, the steward who came to pick them up parked the car outside the Lu Mansion.
The manager is a middle-aged man who seems to be kind and sincere to others.
Yuan Qing put two sets of clothes into the bracelet and followed Lu Zhao into the car.
Apart from the words they spoke when they first met, the steward did not say another word on the way to the banquet hall, and carried out his duties to the end.
Lu Zhao sat in the front of the carriage and Yuan Qing sat on his left.
She fiddled with the accessories around her waist out of boredom.
The car was moving slower and slower, and when it was halfway there, Yuan Qing vaguely heard a commotion outside the car.
She drew aside the curtain and looked around, only to be met with unfamiliar sights.
Lu Zhao was also awakened by the sound. He followed Yuan Qing's gaze and his face still had that unshakable expression.
Yuan Qing raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked outside.
Lu Zhao asked: "Where is this?"
The steward replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, this is Wangyun Street in the West Market."
Although the place where Mu Xiaoxiao treated patients originally belonged to West Market, West Market was too big. When Wangyun Street was mentioned, she still felt a little unfamiliar.
Lu Zhao retracted his gaze and explained to her, "West Market was originally a place where all kinds of people mixed together. It is different from East Market. Especially in Wangyun Street, there are many small businesses on the roadside, but because of their low prices, they are very popular among the people."
She knows this.
Xifang belongs to Xishi. The reason why Mu Xiaoxiao chose to practice medicine in Xifang was to get closer to the actual disease condition.
This place is equivalent to the slums of the Yuan capital and is also a famous refugee camp in the capital.
Most of the people living here are from other places, and many of them do not have household registration, so they can only make a living here.
The flow of people here is so huge and the situation is so complicated that the government has no way to intervene here for the time being and can only leave it to them.
Moreover, the most crucial point is that part of this West Market is located in Yifeng County.
Yuan Qing reached out and lifted all the curtains.
Although the streets are complex, they are not chaotic. Everyone is busy running around according to their own rules.
Yuan Qing understood instantly, "Could it be that here..."
The government is unable to control it, but people can live in peace and order. This is definitely not a coincidence. There must be someone behind the scenes who has replaced the government and is in control of this place.
She suddenly understood why Lu Zhao brought her here.
The county magistrate of Yifeng County cannot be replaced just like that. Not only must the previous conditions be met, but the local situation must also be taken into consideration.
Otherwise, the result may be worse than it is now, and may even break the original balance here, and the people living here will still be the ones who suffer in the end.
Yuan Qing sighed.
This matter is indeed difficult to handle.
It seems that things will have to be postponed for a while.
The carriage stopped in front of a dance hall.
Yuan Qing got out of the car and looked around.
The moment she looked up, she was suddenly surprised that she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this place.
She couldn't remember where she had heard or seen it, but at that moment, a flood of memories flooded into her mind.
Such a huge amount of information, apart from the information that I actively absorbed, most of the rest is related to the information collected in the original book.
Thinking of this, the scattered information in her mind quickly integrated, and all the clues were automatically connected to form a complete chain.
She looked up at the words on the wooden plaque of the flower building, and her mind suddenly became clear.
So this is it!
As soon as he entered the lobby, Yuan Qing was shocked by the scene before him.
It's not because of how luxurious this place is, but...
The decoration and layout here are exactly the same as the Jile Tower in the north city. Although the scale is not comparable, it is also incredible enough.
No one would have thought that within the small county of Yifeng, there was such a large piece of "feng shui treasure land".
Lu Zhao walked in front of her and nodded to the woman who came up to him, "I'm here at your invitation. Please lead the way, young lady."
The woman then realized that it was the distinguished guest from upstairs.
Thinking of this, she quickly put away her smile and led the person upstairs in a proper manner.
Lu Zhao also politely replied: "Thank you."
Wen Chengxuan was waiting at the door himself. When he saw someone coming, he took two or three steps forward and said enthusiastically, "You're finally here!"
As he said this, he was about to pull the person behind Lu Zhao.
Yuan Qing kept shrinking back.
Lu Zhao blocked her way and said with a smile: "My little follower is not good at talking, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
Yuan Qing: "..."
Find an excuse, but don't find a good one.
She is not good at speaking, who would believe it if she told others? Not long ago, she scolded someone in the street. She doesn't look like someone who is not good at speaking, as so many eyes were watching her.
Hearing this, Wen Chengxuan laughed even more happily, "You little brother are quite interesting."
After saying this, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, set up a seat."
Thinking of the secret conversation a few days ago, he suppressed the cruelty in the corners of his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, they were full of magnanimity that did not hold grudges.
Wen Chengxuan smiled and said, "If I had known that Lord Gong was coming, I should have arranged a seat earlier. If you don't mind, please sit next to me."
Yuan Qing knew it was difficult to refuse, so he lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wen Chengxuan never concealed his ambition to seize power, and he never thought of hiding his love for alcohol and women.
He was surrounded by a beauty on his left hand side, and laughter and joy were heard continuously.
Originally there was supposed to be a beauty on his right, but because of Yuan Qing's arrival, she was squeezed out of her original position, causing the beauty to glare at her fiercely before leaving.
Yuan Qing lowered his head and touched his nose.
Such seating for three people might not be a big deal at a normal banquet.
But this is a place of pleasure, and those who usually surround Wen Chengxuan are either servants or beauties for his enjoyment.
Now he keeps a young man who has just entered the officialdom by his side. The meaning behind this is very intriguing.
Is she treating him as a slave to be ordered around at will, or as a beauty who makes a living by selling her body?
Everyone looked like they were enjoying a good show.
Furthermore, after calling him over, he didn't say anything to him and just left him alone, as if he had forgotten about him.
If any other inexperienced scholar were in such an embarrassing situation, he would probably feel uncomfortable.
But who is Yuan Qing?
She is in charge of Yuanshi Group and several companies under her name. She deals with all kinds of people every day. She has attended hundreds, if not thousands, of occasions like this.
There is no shortage of young masters and young ladies who know how to have fun in the upper class circles. She has been in it for a long time, and even if she has not been influenced by it, she has learned a lot.
Yuan Qing picked up a piece of cake and crushed it, watching the crumbs from his fingertips fall onto the plate bit by bit.
If you think you can intimidate her with just this little trick, you are really underestimating her.
Nothing more than that.
