Chapter 171 The Taste of Generals and Scholars (1)

The more he walked into the yard, the more things Rong Xia could see that were unlikely to appear in other people's houses.

There are deck chairs with soft cushions, swing sets, hammocks, upholstered chairs, and fresh fruits on the table. The most obvious thing is that there is a table in the middle of the yard, which looks a bit nondescript.

"There are a few singers and storytellers in the mansion, and sometimes the wife and princess will ask them to perform a part," the butler noticed Rong Xia's eyes, and explained with a smile, "Uncle, please."

"Very good," Rong Xia nodded, and then said, "After I go back, I'll ask someone to set up a platform in the inner courtyard."

The butler smiled and didn't say a word. There were many things that he should not say as a servant: "Uncle, this is the place. Usually the masters like to eat together, and they don't need people to wait on them." He led Rong Xia into the inner door, Standing on the stone steps, he said, "My lord, Cheng Amber has arrived."

Rong Xia looked up at the plaque hanging on the house, on which was written the words "Tao Tie Pavilion", the font was very beautiful, grand but elegant, like a woman's font.

"Please come in."

Ban Huai's voice came from inside, Rong Xia straightened her robe and walked in the door.

"The younger generation has met uncle and aunt." When Rong Xia saluted the elder, seeing Ban Hua smiling at him, she couldn't help but smile back at her.

After laughing, he suddenly came back to his senses. How long has it been since he has done such a rude move?

"Sit down, our family is not a person who pays attention to these common etiquettes," Ban Huai saw that the clothes on Rong Xia's body were not changed, and they were still the same as before, "Have you eaten?"

According to the rules of scholars, even if this meeting is useless, it must be said to be useful.

Rong Xia glanced at Ban Huai and Ban Hua, shook her head slowly and said, "I just went to Dali Temple, and I haven't eaten yet."

"How can young people not eat?" He summoned his servants and asked them to prepare immediately.

"Uncle, how embarrassing this is," Rong Xia hurriedly said, "I..."

"Didn't you just say that our family doesn't follow those useless rules," Ban Huai got up and patted him on the shoulder, "Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, no matter how reasonable you are, you can't wrong your stomach. Fortunately, our family didn't have a good meal just now, so we just treat it as you accompanying us."

Half an hour later, several bowls of hot plain noodles and a bunch of side dishes were placed on the table.

Food is indeed not particular, but Rong Xia's appetite is exceptionally good. It seems that he hasn't sat with anyone for a long time, he just eats a bowl of noodles so simply, he doesn't even pay attention to the rules of not talking when eating, and he can talk while eating.

"Sister, why do you eat so much?" Ban Heng sat next to Ban Hua, separating her from Rong Xia, "Did you eat it in the palace?"

Banhua nodded: "I'm just bored, so I can have something to eat with you." She looked up at Rong Xia, "Did you just say you went to Dali Temple?"

"Yes, I have some friendship with the people in Dali Temple, so I talked to them a few more words about this case." When Rong Xia saw Ban Hua smiling, she couldn't help laughing, "You go to the palace, it's going well." ?"

Ban Hua nodded: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty both said that this matter must be thoroughly investigated."

Rong Xia chuckled when she heard the words: "If I had known that Huahua was so powerful, I wouldn't have made this extra trip to Dali Temple."

"You can't say that, it's a two-pronged approach." Seeing that Rong Xia was so troubled by her father's affairs, Ban Hua pushed the side dish in front of her to Rong Xia, "Here, this is for you."

"Thanks."

Ban Heng, who was sitting between the two of them: ...

At this moment, he felt that he was a galaxy separating the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

After eating, the four members of the Ban family sat lazily on the soft chairs, their backs straightened, and they almost sat crookedly with them. Fortunately, many years of living habits stopped him in time, and he was still the elegant young man who could sit down to the extreme.

The case had just happened, and it was hard for Rong Xia to guess who the murderer was. He had guessed before whether the person who assassinated Ban Huai was the same person who assassinated Zhao Jia. But he quickly overturned this idea. The killer who assassinated Zhao Jia was very professional, and even the murder weapon was deliberately chosen to be one commonly used by foreigners. One is to make people unable to guess his specific identity, and the other is to make His Majesty dare not investigate with great fanfare.

Although the Aipo tribe is a small place, there are many affiliated countries of Daye. If this incident becomes serious, it will have a great impact on the stability of the surrounding area of ​​Daye. Daye's current soldiers and horses are not as strong as before. If many countries unite against Daye, whether Daye can win or not is another matter.

I am afraid that even if it is a victory, it will be a miserable victory.

So Your Majesty dare not fight.

The murderers who assassinated Ban Huai this time were different. They were all unscrupulous gangsters. They usually did sneaky things. Anyone with scheming and means cannot use such a gangster to do things.

Zhao Jia's case may involve important national affairs, while Ban Huai's case is more likely to be a personal enmity.

He already knew what kind of person Ban Huai was. He has a lazy personality and doesn't think about making progress, but this person has an obvious characteristic, that is, he has a sense of humor. I never do things that shouldn't be done. Although I am not a kind person, I have never done bad things, and I have never even tasted flower wine.

In fact, when he learned that Ban Huai had never drunk flower wine, he was quite shocked. The famous dandy in Daye Dynasty has never entered Fireworks and Willow Lane, never entered a gambling house, and is not good at drinking. How did such a person get his reputation as a dandy?

Rong Xia didn't understand it before, but he didn't know why until he asked to see the eldest princess and saw what the eldest princess left him.

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, and the wealth and wealth are poisonous, and the Ban family is just looking for a safe life.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere of the Ban's house was too friendly, Rong Xia stayed at the Ban's house all afternoon without knowing it, and had dinner at the Ban's house before getting up to leave.

When he reached the door, he saw Ban Hua chasing after him.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that he only brought a few guards, Ban Hua said, "I don't know who is plotting against the Ban's family, and I don't know what he wants to do. You are engaged to me, so be careful some."

Rong Xia didn't expect that she came after her specially to talk about this matter, she was stunned for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay."

Banhua smiled, then clapped her hands, and four guards walked out behind her: "The four of them were all chosen by my grandfather for me back then. It's dark and the road is slippery. Let them go back with you."
