I was so happy to see this man that I forgot about the good guy I just met...
Wang Jin hurriedly made amends by pulling Yuan Heng and Pan Yue over to present themselves to Shan Bo, and solemnly introduced Yuan Heng to Shan Bo.
Shan Bo had been silently paying attention to Yuan Heng since he showed up, watching him obey Wang Jin's words and accompany Wang Jin with great patience... He had long felt that this man was more suitable for Wang Jin than Young Master Cheng, and when he saw him coming forward, he was also very kind to him.
Seeing that the old man was very kind to Wang Jin, Yuan Heng became even more respectful to him.
Shan Bo glanced at the two and said, "You should change your clothes quickly. You are covered in mud. It will be dark soon and you will have to go to the night banquet. This will make people laugh."
Wang Jin looked down at his clothes. This set of clothes was found for him by Shan Bo. It was a light green robe, which was extremely comfortable to wear, but a little old and had turned pale due to washing. At this moment, the clothes were covered with brown mud... It had even stained the green and white clothes with a hint of yellow. The man next to him was not much better, as the hem of his clothes was covered with brown mud.
Going to the night banquet like this would naturally be considered impolite, but looking at the city lord's attitude towards Yuan Heng and Zhao Xiang's attitude towards him in the attic, Wang Jin felt that even if they went there in a proper manner, it would not be an easy experience.
He looked up at the sky. It was getting dark, and there was only one small step left for the gift they prepared... Wang Jin lowered his brows and thought about it. A hint of calculation flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind to take a step closer to Shan Bo and whispered a few things into his ear.
That night, a banquet.
The event was held in a huge and exquisite palace in the center of the city.
This is where the city lord Xining usually works. It is also the place where the hall masters gather to discuss what happens in the city on weekdays. It is also the venue for large banquets.
Entering the palace through the main gate is a spacious front yard with some potted plants, which makes it look not too monotonous.
There is only one huge room dividing the front yard from the back yard. That room is where Xining and the hall masters usually have meetings. At this moment, the door of the room is closed and there is no intention of letting anyone in.
Walking along the corridors on both sides of the room is the backyard, which is larger than the front yard. It is planted with some plants and more potted plants, and looks extremely elegant. Tonight's dinner will be held in this backyard.
The empty backyard was already filled with tables and chairs, with all kinds of snacks and fruits on the tables. The table at the front was longer and taller than the other tables, and that was the place for the city lord Xining to sit.
There were two seats on the side close to him, one for Deputy City Lord Zhao Yu and the other for Wang Jin.
Below that are the seats for the hall master and some young masters of noble families...
The purpose of this night banquet is to celebrate the safe return of 'Xi Yao'...
Although Xi Yao didn't have many friends, he was the city lord's younger brother. When the city lord Xining held a banquet for him, many people actually came just for the city lord's sake.
Celebrating Xi Yao's return can be considered a private matter, so Xining did not hold a big celebration this time. The banquet was rather simple, a bit like an ordinary party, just inviting everyone to have a good meal and drinks.
The sky was getting darker, candles were lit in the backyard, and the seats were gradually filled... City Lord Xining also arrived...
