Ling Ping'an chuckled and hugged his cat. He found a secluded place and squatted down to browse WeChat read.
Qin Ming took a look and understood what the other party meant.
"Country bumpkin!" He shrugged and turned to walk towards the others.
For Qin Ming, this sorority was a very good opportunity.
For the first time in decades, the imperial family had summoned all the unmarried descendants of meritorious deeds in the entire Federation to gather together.
This was a rare opportunity.
Not to mention anything else, just the contacts that he might make at the gathering was enough to benefit a person like him endlessly.
Thus, he quickly found a few people. Everyone introduced themselves to each other and became familiar with each other.
He didn't know who had suggested it.
Soon, the people who gathered together began to compare, intentionally or unintentionally.
Most of them were talking about the glory of their ancestors.
Or they were talking about who they knew.
Ling Ping'an listened and sighed.
In this day and age, it was not easy to rely on one's father. Why bother to rely on one's ancestors?
Moreover...
Other people were powerful, but they were still others, not themselves!
So what if they knew each other? So what if they didn't know each other?
In the eyes of others, they were probably just passers-by.
However, these were other people's fun. He couldn't interfere, nor did he want to interfere.
He wasn't a school teacher!
Perhaps he had also noticed that all this talk about ancestors and relationships was ultimately just empty words.
Soon, people began to compare in a more practical way.
Someone took out his invitation and pretended to say casually, "Aiya, why is there such a seal on my invitation?"
"The Federal Empire's Royal Internal Affairs Administration?"
"What kind of organization is this? Why haven't I heard of it? "
Immediately, people looked at him enviously.
"Royal Internal Affairs Administration?"
"Is your ancestor a relative of the imperial family?"
"I'm ashamed... My ancestor was once recruited as the Prince Consort by the Virtue Sect..."
"Aiyaya... So it's the descendant of the Prince Consort!"
Thus, the atmosphere changed.
Everyone took out their invitation cards and looked at them carefully.
Naturally, the crowd was divided into two groups.
Hierarchy and order were also established.
The people at the top of the pyramid were also automatically determined by the invitation.
The crowd involuntarily gathered around the descendants of the real bigwigs.
This was because their invitation was stamped with the seal of a cabinet minister or a retainer of the imperial family.
This meant that their names were remembered by the big shots.
At the very least, he would be willing to stamp a seal to endorse them.
This was incredible.
In particular, there was one person whose invitation letter had the official seal of the second minister, Li Daofu.
This was incredible!
Sh * t!
Even the Grand Secretary had to give face to an important figure whose words carried enormous weight!
Qin Ming was a little jealous.
Because on his invitation letter, other than the usual few stamps, the extra one was only the official seal of the Cabinet Central Committee of Meritorious Officials.
This meant that he was only invited out of bureaucratic inertia.
His name was not on the list of people who were currently in power.
He couldn't even get on the list.
He was practically invisible.
When it came to his son's generation, if they could not afford to pay the 'protection fee', the central government might just forget about his family's existence when there was such a gathering again.
This was a little fatal.
He looked at the few people who were surrounded like stars around the moon.
He wanted to lean over and show his face.
However, just as he was about to go over, he realized that those people were already surrounded by people.
Moreover, there was a clear hierarchy!
If he went up, he was afraid that he would be asking for trouble.
He shook his head and planned to go to the side to get some fresh air.
At a glance, he saw Ling Ping'an, who he had just met in the car, sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree. He seemed to be playing with his phone.
At his feet, a black kitten was lying quietly. It looked like it was living a peaceful life and it was alone.
It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.
It was as if he didn't care about anything when he came here.
But the problem was that the other party's clothes were really shabby!
Qin Ming took a closer look and knew that the clothes on this person were very simple.
They were basically all mainstream goods from the supermarket.
Perhaps he bought them while they were on sale.
Shouldn't such a person be full of curiosity when he came to the foot of the royal palace, handing out business cards everywhere to get familiar and build relationships?
Qin Ming blinked, "What a strange person!"
Out of curiosity, Qin Ming walked over and walked under the shade of the tree.
"Bro!" He called out, "Why don't you go talk to everyone?"
Ling Ping'an raised his head and shook his head kindly. He didn't say anything.
But from Qin Ming's perspective, the moment Ling Ping'an raised his head.
His plain, ordinary face clearly had the question: Why?
That attitude, in Qin Ming's eyes, was inexplicably arrogant.
It could even be called arrogant.
It made Qin Ming feel that in the eyes of this person in front of him, all the people waiting in the square were just insignificant people.
In fact, in this person's eyes, talking to him might be a waste of saliva!
Qin Ming smiled awkwardly.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Quite arrogant!"
But on the surface, he was smiling, "Bro, where's your invitation letter? Can you let me broaden my horizons! "
But in his heart, he already had a plan.
When this person took out the invitation letter, he would definitely complain.
Suppress his arrogance.
Ling Ping'an didn't quite understand why this' friend 'who he met by chance wanted to see his invitation letter.
But he shouldn't have any ill intentions.
So he reached into his pocket and searched.
After searching for a while, he didn't find anything.
"Where's my invitation letter?" Ling Ping'an frowned and searched.
Qin Ming chuckled.
"Pretend!" He understood it too well.
Didn't he just fend off the request of others who wanted to 'broaden his horizons'?
In the end, this was because of inferiority!
He could understand it.
After all, everyone's ancestors had been rich before.
But now, they were all the old Wang Xie Tang Qianyan.
However, they had no choice but to maintain the face of their ancestors in front of outsiders, especially in such an occasion.
Just at this moment, the sound of an engine could be heard.
Qin Ming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a long sightseeing car driving down the mountain.
"The royal family has come to pick us up!" As he spoke, he followed the crowd and walked in the direction of the sightseeing car.
Ling Ping'an finally found his invitation letter. It was stuffed into his butt pocket and there were even creases. Fortunately, the royal family's invitation letter was of good quality and didn't look wrinkled.
He raised his head and saw that his' friend 'had already walked into the distance.
So he smiled and stuffed the invitation letter back into his butt pocket.
"Let's go!" Ling Ping'an said to his cat and picked up the little guy. He carried his simple luggage and slowly walked forward with the crowd.
… …
Qin Keqing held the list in her hand and sat next to the driver's seat of the sightseeing car.
"Secretary Qin, it's really been hard on you today!" An official said beside her.
Qin Keqing's exquisite little face chuckled, "For His Majesty! It's not hard at all! "
The official said, "Actually, you don't have to do this kind of thing personally..."
Qin Keqing listened and only smiled. She didn't answer.
The official could only shut his mouth and sigh in his heart: It's tough!
Originally, he didn't have to do this kind of thing at all.
He could just send someone to pick him up.
He could comfortably blow on the heater in the office of the villa and tease the female secretary.
But who would have thought that the personal secretary of the eldest princess would personally greet him every time.
He didn't dare not to come.
Otherwise, if the higher-ups asked, he wouldn't be able to explain.
The car stopped at the waiting area.
The official tidied up his clothes, then picked up a piece of paper and bade farewell to Qin Keqing, "Secretary Qin, I'm going!"
"Okay!" Qin Keqing nodded, but her beautiful eyes didn't look back at all. She looked seriously at the bustling crowd of more than a hundred people in front of her.
… …
The sightseeing car stopped.
The crowd also gathered over.
Everyone saw a man wearing an official uniform from hundreds of years ago walk down.
He smiled, held a piece of paper, and walked in front of everyone. He bowed deeply and said, "Young Masters, Young Mistresses..."
"I'm Xia Qiu, the royal family's special envoy to welcome guests..."
"Because it wasn't easy to get here, I apologize to everyone for making you wait for a long time!"
The crowd returned the greeting, "You're too kind!"
Xia Qiu smiled and picked up the paper in her hand. She looked at it and bowed again. Then, she asked, "May I know if any of you young masters and young mistresses have a golden invitation letter?"
The crowd looked at each other, and finally, someone stepped forward.
It was the holder of the invitation letter issued by the second assistant minister of the cabinet.
The invitation in his hand was dark gold in color.
"This junior is Ouyang Jin from Changye County of the Western Song Dynasty!" This person looked to be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He was tall and spoke politely.
When Xia Qiu heard that, she immediately chuckled, "Changye County? So it's the son of Ouyang's political advisor family! "
Political advisor was a title that only important officials above the cabinet minister of an independent kingdom who had retired could enjoy.
And there was only one political advisor with the surname Ouyang, and he was from the Western Song Dynasty.
The Western Song Kingdom's 30th Inner Pavilion's Second Assistant Minister, Ouyang Qin.
After this person retired, he successively served as a State Counselor in the central government, a member of the Cabinet's Economic Committee, and other positions. He assisted the state affairs and assisted the cabinet for two terms.
Therefore, he was awarded the 'A-Class Bauhinia Medal'.
This was an honor specially prepared for meritorious ministers!
Therefore, Xia Qiu's tone became enthusiastic, "Young Master Ouyang, please board the bus..."
After retiring from office, he was still specially hired by the cabinet to be an important official of state affairs.
This was the descendant of a true noble.
Ouyang Jin bowed again, then carried his luggage and walked onto the sightseeing car.
Immediately, someone stepped forward and guided him, "Young Master, your seat is here..."
Ouyang Jin was brought to a golden seat.
The seat was very soft and wide, and there were dragon and tiger carvings on both sides of the armrests.
Ouyang Jin leaned comfortably on it, and his heart was filled with joy, "It's not in vain that I gave up on driving here!"
He knew that if he drove the car that his family bought.
He definitely wouldn't be able to be as awe-inspiring as he was now.
Perhaps, he would even be ostracized, ridiculed, and even ridiculed.
However, taking the bus was different.
Among a group of impoverished families, he stood out from the crowd.
He was flattered and surrounded by people.
This was very cool!
Ouyang Jin couldn't help but think of the feeling he had when he was playing games, driving a high-level account with full equipment in the novice village.
When he raised his head, he saw a beautiful figure sitting in the front seat of the driver's seat.
He swallowed his saliva.
Her slender thighs, the exposed part, were plump and fair. Her slim figure was incomparably perfect.
A small part of her side profile could be seen, exquisite and flawless.
More importantly, it was her aura!
That arrogant and independent aura that didn't give in to others was extremely powerful.
Even from afar, Ouyang Jin could still feel it.
"Who is it?" He thought.
Just as he was about to go forward to strike up a conversation, the beautiful figure seemed to have seen something.
She stood up.
A pair of long legs crossed the driver's seat, and a look of joy, even surprise, appeared on that cold and beautiful face that was as exquisite as an iceberg.
At this moment, a few people happened to be carrying their luggage and boarding the bus in succession.
They directly bumped into the woman at the door of the bus.
When these people suddenly met, they couldn't help but move to the side.
Ouyang Jin stood up and wanted to greet her, but he caught a glimpse of the phoenix brooch on her chest.
"Phoenix emblem?" Ouyang Jin frowned.
The phoenix emblem was a symbol that only the retainers of female members of the royal family could wear.
Now that the Emperor had no descendants, naturally, the person who could wear this symbol could only be the retainers of the eldest princess.
And it was an extremely close confidant.
So …
She was someone by the eldest princess's side?
But why was the person by the eldest princess's side here?
Ouyang Jin lowered his head. "Could it be that there's someone like me?"
"And it's someone that even the eldest princess has to pay attention to..."
He was horrified.
His mood was like when he was eating chicken, happily lying in the grass, waiting for the poison circle to shrink and the other opponents to be poisoned to death.
He suddenly realized that in the grass opposite him, a sniper rifle was aimed at his head.
The fake old silver coin had met the real old silver coin!
Ouyang Jin understood. If that was the case.
Then, this sorority …
He should tuck his tail between his legs.
Because, if he wasn't careful, he would be eaten instead of pretending to be a pig!
At the same time, Ouyang Jin also mourned for the other sorority members for three seconds in his heart.
An old silver coin that even the eldest princess had to send someone to pick up came here.
It was hard to say when he would sneak into the crowd.
Then, slap slap slap slap slap.
Even face slap!
But the problem was …
Who was that person?
Ouyang Jin couldn't help but walk to the window and take a closer look.
As for the few people who boarded the bus with silver cards and luggage, they were a little baffled.
"Brother Ouyang..." someone asked, "Who is the beauty who just got off the bus?"
Ouyang Jin licked his lips and chuckled. With a perverted look, he said, "I don't know..."
"But she's really beautiful!"
The others smiled in tacit understanding.
Ouyang Jin chuckled.
He looked in front of him. The person beside the eldest princess who had already gotten off the bus came to the side of the greeter. He didn't know what he said to the greeter, but the greeter nodded.
Then, the beauty stood to the side with a smile.
Ouyang Jin looked carefully. He didn't want to miss even a single detail.
