"Master, you're here. Xi Mengyao greeted her from the water pavilion with a smile, and the decent Chong Linyang and the others made an ancient woman and asked haode etiquette.

After Lin Yang looked her up and down, he praised her sincerely: "Meng Yao, you look so good in ancient costumes." ”

"A compliment from Master Xiexie. A flush appeared on Xi Mengyao's pretty face, and this delicate and infinite appearance made everyone's hearts flutter.

Liu Xiangcheng said half emotionally, half jokingly: "Meng Yao, I really regret it now, why didn't I pursue you in the first place? Hey, what a pity." ”

"Yes, Brother Liu, I think you are really going to regret it. Xi Mengyao smiled narrowly, very schadenfreude.

"Huh?" Liu Xiangcheng was stunned when he heard this.

Do you really want to regret it? What does that mean?

Just when he was wondering, a familiar voice suddenly floated out from behind him: "Why regret it, you can also pursue Meng Yao now, as long as you have that ability"

Liu Xiangcheng's face changed suddenly.

He finally understood what Xi Mengyao meant by the regret he just said.

He didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly put on a flattering smile, turned around and said: "The sentence I just said was to compliment Meng Yao, who made her the birthday star and the protagonist today? Hey, why are you wearing a costume too?"

There is no doubt that the one who appeared behind Liu Xiangcheng was his girlfriend Diao Nina.

At this moment, Diao Nina, like Xi Mengyao, also changed into an ancient costume. It's just that compared with Xi Mengyao's pink high-waisted Confucian skirt, the dress she wears, although it is a little less elegant, but it has more flavor of Yu Lian. And the bright red color is also very in line with her spicy and straightforward character.

"Count your mouth sweet. After glancing at Liu Xiangcheng, Diao Nina took her skirt around and asked with a smile: "How is it, do I look good in ancient costumes?"

"It's good-looking, it's really good-looking, it's like a fairy going down to earth. Liu Xiangcheng nodded vigorously and praised as much as he could.

Lin Yang and the others couldn't see it, and laughed and coaxed: "Boss, you're too cowardly, aren't you?"

"What do you mean by being ashamed? I'm not good at it," Liu Xiangcheng protested.

Cai Qiuya and Tao Lin also appeared in front of everyone at this time.

Like Xi Mengyao and Diao Nina, these two also changed into ancient costumes. Four girls in ancient costumes stand together, pure and beautiful but with different styles, which contrast with the surrounding lake and light buildings, which is amazing.

Zhang Shaojie's eyes were straight, and he asked with a smile: "Four sisters, why are you all wearing ancient costumes? Could the theme of today's birthday party be dreaming back to the Tang and Song dynasties? Why didn't you say it earlier? Let's go and get a set of ancient costumes to wear." ”

Diao Nina, Cai Qiuya and Tao Lin said with a smile: "This is all Meng Yao's idea, and we are also sacrificing our lives to accompany the gentleman." ”

Everyone talked and laughed and walked into the water pavilion.

Standing in the middle of the lake, the pavilion is large and has enough space for hundreds of guests on two floors.

Although it is still early at this moment, there are already many guests in the Water Pavilion Tower. Everyone held wine glasses, gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing in the gentle and melodious sound of silk and bamboo.

Lin Yang and the others had just walked into the Water Pavilion Building, and a middle-aged man who was a little similar to Xi Mengyao and looked quite attractive greeted him, and while looking at everyone, he said with a smile: "Yao'er, these are all your friends, right? ”

This middle-aged man is Xi Mengyao's father, the head of the Xi family's generation, and Xi Yuan, who has a nickname in the antique jade circle.

After Xi Mengyao introduced everyone's identities, Xi Yuanyao's eyes fell on Lin Yang, and he said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Lin Yang." These days, I have heard Lao Wang and Meng Yao mention your name. Speaking of which, I still have to xiexie you, to help us find a lot of good jade in Baishitang. Among young people, there are not many people with such good vision as you. ”

Lin Yang was a little embarrassed to be praised: "Uncle Xi has won the award, in fact, I don't know much about Xiangshi."

"If you don't know much about this, then who dares to say that you do? Modesty is a good character, but excessive modesty is hypocrisy. Xi Yuan waved his hand, obviously not believing Lin Yang's words.

In this regard, Lin Yang could only smile bitterly.

Xi Yuanyu said again: "Hey, by the way, I heard Lao Wang say that you not only have a rare treasure Xiongbo seal in your hand, but also the famous Chen Yuanyuan jade statue in history?

Before Lin Yang could answer, Xi Mengyao was already angry: "Dad, you're here again, why do you want to see the baby everywhere?"

Xi Yuan patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sick." Today is Meng Yao's birthday, let's not talk about these things. Xiaolin, when today is over, how about we make an appointment to see the baby?"

Lin Yang nodded, and replied with a smile: "Uncle Xi wants to see it, how can the juniors say no?" ”

Just when Xi Yuanyu and Lin Yang were talking and laughing, at the entrance of the Yanyu Pavilion Club, Huang Zonghan looked frowning.

As Uncle Wang said, he has always liked Xi Mengyao and has been trying his best to pursue Xi Mengyao. Although it didn't work well, he never gave up.

Today, Huang Zonghan is busy in the Yanyu Pavilion, in order to be able to make a good impression in front of Xi Mengyao, Xi Yuanyu and other Xi families. If Lin Yang hadn't appeared, he would have been so busy all the time, as if he was the master.

But Lin Yang's appearance disrupted his jihua.

In Huang Zonghan's opinion, Lin Yang has probably entered the Water Pavilion at this moment and stayed with Xi Mengyao. If he still stayed at the door to help receive guests, he might be exploited by Lin Yang, who was close to the water-these days, he learned from some sources that there seemed to be an inexplicable relationship between Xi Mengyao and Lin Yang. It was precisely because of this that he was very wary of Lin Yang.

"No, I'm going to the Water Pavilion too, and I'm going to stay by Meng Yao's side. I can't let that kid surnamed Lin take advantage of the loophole. ”

After a short hesitation, Huang Zonghan made up his mind, and after handing over the work of receiving guests to the two disciples of the Xi family, he turned around and strode towards the Water Pavilion Tower.

Just a few minutes after he left, a person wearing a wide windbreaker, a big felt hat and a mask, with only a pair of eyes showing outside his body, appeared at the door of the Yanyu Pavilion Club.

Although this person's dress looked a little strange, the two Xi family children were also well-informed people, and they didn't show their surprise in their hearts, and still greeted each other with a smile: "Hello sir, but are you here to attend Xi Mengyao's birthday party?"

"Yes. The man's voice was hoarse, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to.

"Please show me your invitation. The two Xi family children said.

The man pulled out the hand that was in his pocket, and his complexion was gray and dark, and he looked very abnormal. In his hand, he held a bright red invitation.

After taking the invitation card and opening it, the two Xi family disciples immediately made a gesture of invitation.

The one on the left said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Meng from the Department of Archaeology, and I ask for forgiveness if I missed the distance." Quick, come in. Meng Yao and they are all in the Water Pavilion at this time, and I will lead you over. I believe that your arrival will definitely make Meng Yao feel very happy. ”

Teacher Meng politely refused: "No, I can find it myself." You're busy, yours. ”

He spoke in a strange tone, as if he was spitting out word by word, and it was very difficult to spit out.

The two children of the Xi family are also well-informed, but before this, they really haven't seen anyone talk like this.

However, although they were puzzled, they didn't ask too much, and invited Teacher Meng into the door with a smile, and let him walk towards the inside of the clubhouse by himself.

After this Teacher Meng walked away, the two children of the Xi family couldn't help but get together and muttered in a low voice:

"This teacher surnamed Meng is so strange, he doesn't mention the dress, and even his tone of speech is weird. Such a person can actually be a teacher to teach and educate people? Tsk, aren't you afraid of teaching students problems?"

"I originally thought that there were many weirdos who played antiques, but I didn't expect that there were also weirdos among the teachers at the university. Hey, have you noticed, his eyes are gray and dark, and he doesn't look at all bright, like a dead man. When I first saw his eyes, I was really shocked. ”

"Hearing you say that, I do remember something. When I took the invitation from his hand just now, I felt that his hand was very cold. It stands to reason that his hands have been in his pockets of clothes, and they should be very warm. But those hands were as cold as if they had been frozen in the freezer......"

"Stop, stop, stop, stop talking. If it continues, it will become a ghost story. If Xi Mengyao knew that we were arranging her teacher like this behind our backs, I don't know what it would be like to be angry. ”

The two children of the Xi family didn't know that after Mr. Meng walked into the Yanyu Pavilion Club, he did not go to the Water Pavilion Building, but turned into a gravel path without anyone noticing, and went straight to the lake where the Water Pavilion was located.

Immersed in a green bush, Mr. Meng looked at the antique wooden building in the middle of the lake in the distance.

Looking from this direction, you can just see the figure of Xi Mengyao in the Water Pavilion Building.

"Today...... Be sure to ...... Success ......"

Yu Shi's ugly voice came from under the mask.

Teacher Meng's originally godless eyes suddenly burst out with two faint blue rays of light.

He turned, walked briskly, and soon disappeared into the bushes, not knowing where he had gone
