door
A man and a woman walked in one after another.
The man was in his forties and wore a light gray long robe. He had a refined aura and a small chin that was characteristic of scholars of this era. He looked very comfortable and was obviously groomed.
It was obvious that he was knowledgeable.
Of course, after a simple glance at the man, Lin Chen's gaze was attracted by the girl behind him.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her pure eyes were filled with intelligence and glistening.
Her beautiful black hair was combed into a beautiful sideburns, and she was wearing a light white dress that wrapped around her newly grown figure. In this cold winter, she looked a little thin.
Her fair and delicate skin, which was as white as jade, complemented her peerless appearance.
As graceful as a swan, as graceful as a dragon
She clasped her hands together nervously and lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet Lin Chen's gaze.
This girl was a national beauty, like a fairy in a dream, untainted by worldly dust.
Lin Chen never expected that he would accidentally save a beauty.
As expected, the hero saving the damsel in distress really happened unexpectedly and unintentionally.
Ding! The other party has not pledged allegiance to the host yet. Unable to check!
Ding! The other party has not pledged allegiance to the host yet. Unable to check!
He subconsciously checked their physiques and realized that this function could only check on his own people. The two of them were obviously not.
"Qiao Song greets Lord Prefect."
Arriving in front of the hall, Qiao Song tidied his clothes and straightened his body. He placed his hands straight in front of his chest and bowed to Lin Chen.
Qiao Ying, who was behind him, also bent her knees and bowed to Lin Chen in the manner of a woman.
"Qiao Ying greets my lord."
Her voice was soft and gentle. It was very pleasant to hear and made people feel very comfortable.
qiaoying
Lujiang County, surnamed Qiao.
Lin Chen could not help but have a few more pieces of information in his mind.
If it really was her, then it would be too much of a coincidence.
Although Qiao Ying's appearance was shocking, Lin Chen was not someone who would be unable to move after seeing a beautiful girl.
After calming himself down, his gaze returned to Qiao Song.
"Mister Qiao, Miss Qiao doesn't need to be so polite. Please take a seat.”
Lin Chen waved his hand and gestured for the two to sit down.
In this era, everyone sat on the ground. There were banquet tables specially set up for guests on both sides. Mats were laid on the ground, and there was a soft futon on top.
Of course, according to common sense, women should not be at the table. Now that Lin Chen had set up two banquet tables, people would think that Lin Chen had other guests.
Little did they know that Lin Chen was just following the modern thinking, two people, two seats.
Of course, Qiao Song did not have the intention of directly taking a seat. He cupped his hands and explained his intentions.
"Milord, there is no need to trouble yourself. Qiao Song has come this time to thank Milord for saving my daughter on the street.”
As he spoke, he bowed to Lin Chen again.
Lin Chen looked indifferent.
"It's nothing. Since Mr. Qiao is here to repay his kindness, there's no hurry. Why don't you sit down and chat?”
"This official is a new prefect. I would like to ask Mister about the way to govern the Lujiang River.”
Qiao Song's humble face flashed with astonishment.
Before he came, he had thought of many requests that Lin Chen would make. Under the influence, Lin Chen was ignorant and incompetent. He was always idling around. Although he did not commit any major crimes, he was not a person who worked hard to make the country prosperous.
With his daughter's beauty in front of him, he even thought that Lin Chen would use this opportunity to get Qiao Ying to marry him.
For this, he had even thought of an excuse.
However, who would have thought that Lin Chen would actually ask him for advice on how to govern the county at this time?
"Could it be that Mr. Qiao is unwilling to teach me?”
Although Lin Chen didn't know what the other party was thinking, he could roughly guess.
His reputation of being ignorant and incompetent and idling around had long spread throughout the ten miles and eight villages.
If it were anyone else, he would be surprised by the sudden change.
"I wouldn't dare. Although this Qiao is lacking in knowledge, if Milord has any doubts, this Qiao will definitely tell you everything I know.”
Qiao Song hurriedly bowed and glanced at the two seats before asking,"
"Milord has other guests?"
"The other one is prepared for Miss Qiao. The visitor is a guest, so how could this Lin neglect Miss Qiao?”
Lin Chen's gaze landed on Qiao Ying.
When Qiao Song asked this question, Lin Chen also reacted. However, since it had already been arranged, there was naturally no reason to withdraw.
“.......”
Qiao Ying's eyes were like water as she looked at Lin Chen in disbelief. Clearly, she did not expect this seat to be prepared for her.
"This... My daughter is a woman. I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?”
Qiao Song hesitated for a moment. He was really stumped by Lin Chen's words.
"It's fine. It's freezing cold, so it's just nice to warm Miss Qiao's body.”
Seeing Lin Chen's insistence, Qiao Song could only look at Qiao Ying.
"Da Qiao, thank you, sir."
Qiao Ying's pretty face was filled with surprise. Her large, watery eyes looked at Lin Chen slightly, and her face turned slightly red. She could not help but think of the scene in the morning.
Even though she was scared silly at that time, she still remembered the feeling of lying in Lin Chen's arms and the sound of Lin Chen's heartbeat.
Qiao Song's voice rang out, pulling her back from her thoughts. She hurriedly bowed to Lin Chen.
"Da Qiao thanks you for your pity."
Her voice was still very soft, giving off an inexplicable sense of protection.
The father and daughter sat down, and Lin Chen waved his hand in satisfaction. A few maids brought up warm wine.
In this era, there was no such thing as treating guests with tea. They basically drank white wine with low alcohol content. In winter, the wine was cold, and when it was warmed, the taste would be better.
at this time
Qiao Ying stood up again.
When he came to the middle, he first bowed to Lin Chen and then to Qiao Song.
"Milord, father, if it wasn't for Milord, I'm afraid that Da Qiao would have died on the streets. If Milord doesn't abandon him, can you let Da Qiao pour wine for Milord?”
"Hmm?"
Lin Chen was also slightly stunned, but he did not expect this girl to stand up for herself.
Moreover, he called himself Da Qiao?
The correct location and the beauty that could topple a nation were almost certain.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to agree. He looked at Qiao Song. If Qiao Song refused, he wouldn't force it.
