After rebirth, the leader only wants to be with the shadow guard

After arriving in Beijing, Lou Jingyu spent several days inspecting the capital's industries, looking through the account books, meeting with several managers, and finishing his official business.

There was nothing left for him to do after that.

He had already finished discussing official business with Zhao Buchi. Duan Chunhui was also currently treating the King of Qin. So, over the next few days, he took Ying Shiyi to travel around the capital.

The two went to the most famous temple in the capital to burn incense, went to a farm on the outskirts of the city to race horses, and took a boat trip on Tingyan Lake.

On a fine night, Lou Jingyu took Ying Shiyi to the tallest observatory in Beijing to watch the stars all night, and they snuggled together and talked under the bright Milky Way.

Later, they went to see shadow puppetry and Peking opera. The golden melon seeds on Ying Shiyi's body finally had a place to go, and they were all thrown on the stage.

The weather is not hot at this time, but not so cold as in winter that you can't go out, so it's the perfect time to go out and play.

When the two of them were traveling, they took their time and were not in a hurry, which was quite pleasant.

Manager Li finally saw that Lou Jingyu had some free time, so he hurried to report to him and asked him if he had time to attend the banquet.

These managers in the capital wanted to invite Lou Jingyu together to a banquet as a welcoming party.

Some officials and businessmen also heard that he was coming to Beijing and wanted to pay a visit to him.

These managers in the capital have not seen Lou Jingyu for many years, so they naturally want to show up when they see this opportunity.

This kind of socializing is actually considered official business.

Since they were employing people and the work they were doing was beneficial to both parties, Lou Jingyu naturally gave them this face and let Manager Li make the arrangements.

The banquet was scheduled to be held at the Babao Tower under the name of the Chiyang Sect.

The roast duck here is one of the best in the world. Many diners come here just for this and would rather queue for several hours just to have a taste of it.

Manager Li specially cleared out the entire top floor and served all the signature dishes there.

Night had fallen. Lanterns were hung high on both sides of the red building. The lights were as bright as day, and the coming and going of people and horses was very lively.

Lou Jingyu brought Ying Shiyi over from the mansion. Lian Jue was waiting for his instructions behind Lou Jingyu, while Duan Chunhui just went there to join in the fun.

Manager Li, the owner of Babaolou, and many other people behind them were waiting at the door. When they saw someone getting off the carriage, they went over to greet them.

"Congratulations, Sect Master!"

"Hello, Master."

"Master!"

……

Lou Jingyu nodded lightly, responded with a few words, and then took Ying Shiyi upstairs.

A group of people followed behind. Although these managers and shopkeepers often lived in Beijing, they all knew the cold temperament of their boss and did not dare to be presumptuous.

When we arrived at the banquet hall, everyone was already there and Manager Li had arranged everything in perfect order.

No one dared to be late for such an occasion. Everyone arrived early and waited for Lou Jingyu. When they saw him arrive, they all stood up and greeted him.

"It's just a casual meal, there's no need for so much formality."

Lou Jingyu dealt with another wave of attacks before taking Ying Shiyi to sit at the main seat. Lian Jue and Duan Chunhui sat beside them.

Lou Jingyu was wearing a steel-blue brocade suit today. On his chest was a group of sharp and winding Qilin auspicious beast embroidered with gold thread. It looked lifelike, as if it would come alive from the cloth at the next moment, revealing an irrefutable majesty.

The weather was getting colder, and she wore a long robe with wide sleeves and an open collar in the same color. The color was deep, and it glowed with the cold light of silk under the candlelight.

She had a dark purple jade belt tied around her waist, which looked very luxurious.

But there was also a peace amulet on the jade belt, which he had obtained at Dajue Temple. He always wore it or kept it in his arms.

The existence of this thing broke his usual coldness and weakened his coldness a bit.

Some young managers didn't dare to look again after taking one look, as they felt extremely oppressed.

I had to divert my attention.

Then he saw Ying Shiyi beside Lou Jingyu again.

The boy was wearing a simple maple red outfit, which was really eye-catching.

Although it is red, maple red is much more low-key than bright red. Not only does it not make him look vulgar when he wears it, but it collides with his cold temperament and makes him look very charming.

The boy had a distant look and a cold expression, as if he didn't like to talk.

He wore a pair of black leather wrist guards, a sword at his waist, and an amulet on his belt. They looked like a pair with the one the leader was wearing.

As I was thinking this, my eyes suddenly met with the young man's.

The young steward was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.

The person following the leader must be of an important status as well, so he quickly lowered his head.

Ying Shiyi is very vigilant, so he will naturally notice if others look at him like this.

But he didn't care and poured tea for Lou Jingyu. He tested it for poison before handing it to him.

There are a lot of people here tonight, and you'd better be careful in case someone does something wrong.

Lou Jingyu took the tea, smiled at him, and took a few sips.

Such occasions are nothing more than for subordinates to show their loyalty and talk about various matters at random. No important matters will be discussed at such occasions.

Lou Jingyu sat in the main seat and listened with a cold expression, but he did not interrupt. He just listened and occasionally replied a few words.

When he had time to talk to the people below, he could also take time to pick up some food for Ying Shiyi and talk to him. He was afraid that he would go hungry, so he took good care of him.

"The roast duck here is delicious. I didn't bring you here to try it a few days ago. Today is a good opportunity."

As he spoke, he put a few pieces of bread into the pancake and fed it to him.

In public, Ying Shiyi was still a little embarrassed, but when he found that no one dared to look at them, he opened his mouth and started eating.

The skin of the roast duck looks very crispy, shiny and rosy in color. After being roasted over fruit wood charcoal, there is no fat at all. The meat is fat but not greasy, and it is very delicious when wrapped in a pancake.

Ying Shiyi felt that his master was working too hard. He had to listen to these unnecessary words from his subordinates even when attending the banquet. This was very incomprehensible in the eyes of the shadow guards who had a clear goal of pursuing efficiency.

But I also know that this is how the world works and no one is immune to it.

What's more, the Chiyang Sect is so large that it needs countless people to maintain it.

He felt sorry for Lou Jingyu as he hadn't eaten much since he sat down, and was also afraid that he would drink without eating, which would be bad for his stomach, so he served him a bowl of braised shark's fin, and also picked up a few chopsticks of boiled pork and fried meatballs for him.

Lou Jingyu would naturally eat the dishes he picked for him, and he ate them with great relish.

Just after eating for a while, someone came to toast us.

Drinking was inevitable in such occasions. Since Lou Jingyu had come, the banquet was naturally prepared for this, and he drank some to give them face.

The people below were respectful and awed by him, and did not dare to force him to drink too much. They just toasted him a few times and then stopped.

The banquet was in full swing when singers and dancers pushed the door open to add to the fun.

She was specially arranged for Lou Jingyu by the official who was attending the banquet, saying that she was the most talented singer and dancer in the Beijing singing house.

The lyrics played and the songs sung were all clear and graceful, and the timbre was like the lingering sound of an oriole.

The dancers' skirts fluttered and the ribbons they waved in their hands intersected like falling rainbow light, spinning like blooming flowers.

It was indeed ingenious and drew cheers from everyone at the banquet.

Ying Shiyi went to watch the performance with an appreciative attitude and thought the singing and dancing were quite good.

However, the dancer in the middle was dancing closer and closer from the center of the banquet hall, and her waving sleeves were almost waving in front of Lou Jingyu.
