At noon of the birthday banquet, it was a banquet meal, and Zhao Shinan invited important people from the political and military circles of Yangzhou City, as well as colleagues in the business circles, and even people who were related to the deceased. Du Zhong and Pei Lan were also invited. Pei Lan took advantage of the lack of people and secretly pulled Du Heng over: "Your brother and I found a home remedy and grabbed a few pills, you have to drink it and try it, they all say that this works." Du Heng's heart was bitter, but there was also a glimmer of hope.

The banquet of the Zhao family is eye-opening, in addition to the traditional Huaiyang dishes such as drunken crab and lily crispy pork, there are also many famous dishes from the north and south, and the most special thing is that after the banquet, everyone was served a French-style foie gras, which earned enough eyeballs. The people of Yangzhou are no strangers to the brine foie gras, but the French method, not to mention eating at that time, even if you have never seen it. Some of the brave ones had already tried it first, praising the taste as excellent, and the rest followed suit, waving their knives and forks awkwardly.

After tasting it, it was praised in various ways. It's not necessarily that the taste is wonderful, but the French chef specially invited from Shanghai, the chic and novel tableware, is the icing on the cake for this meal.

During the luncheon, Mallow also changed into a rose-colored dress, although it was not as gorgeous as Cheng Yuejin on Du Heng's body, but she was confident that she looked better in this color than Du Heng's haggard face. Sure enough, from time to time, a few ladies stopped to look at the mallow and said with a smile: "This girl pours water." Mallow only smiled and said nothing.

After the luncheon, the church began at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. This time, Du Heng invited a well-known Kunqu opera team in Yangzhou. As soon as the opening was interesting, a few martial artists came to a "Pan Tao Club" lively, and after the performance, a few somersaults, jumped up and down, and pulled out a big "Shou" word in colorful brocade. There was a round of applause and applause at the table, and they all sighed that it was worthy of being a silk family, this piece of Chengyue colorful brocade, Yangzhou City except for the Zhao family to make such a brilliant appearance, there is no other.

After the first few hat shows, the performance began. The head of the class handed the excerpt to the old lady and asked the old lady to order the play. The old lady gave up to a few dignitaries' wives and asked them to play. pushed back and forth a few times, and finally ordered the traditional "Peony Pavilion" excerpt "Garden", and the most difficult "Knife Meeting" in "Single Knife Meeting".

The Zhao family has a stage at the back of the garden, and it is idle on weekdays, which comes in handy at this time. Not only did all the invited guests sit down, but there were even a lot of people who came from near and far to listen to the play.

The important people have gone back in the afternoon, and the flowing water banquet in the evening is basically the relatives and friends of the Zhao family, Zhao Shinan's calmness at noon gradually dissipated, and he had a good drink with a few people in the same sect. The old lady saw from a distance that he was drinking, and told Malvac to call Heather over.

When the mallow arrived in the middle of the table, Zhao Shinan was drinking with a few close friends, an enamel pot, hanging three feet, and letting the wine fall vertically into his mouth, Zhao Shinan's blue neckline was slightly open, indescribably chic and dignified. Mallow has only seen a serious Zhao Shinan, and the handsome man in front of her shook her heart even more, and she was stupid.

Until the cheering "good" sound around him, Zhao Shinan ran out of pots, flicked his sleeves and sat on the table, lifted his robe, his narrow eyebrows and eyes were three points drunk and seven points bewitched, and the mallow could barely breathe, but saw Zhao Shinan's lips hooked and said to her: "What's the matter?"

Only then did Malqueck come back to her senses, looked at Zhao Shinan and said, "The old lady asks the young master to come over." ”

Zhao Shinan got up and walked with the mallow, came to the old lady Zhao's side, and called respectfully: "Mother." ”

The old lady smiled: "It's okay, I just advise you to drink less." At night, I had to settle down and send my relatives and friends back. Several ladies around him took the opportunity to praise the mother and son's filial piety.

Suddenly, a Mrs. Dong saw the bracelet on Mallow and said, "Huh?", and said to another person next to her: "The bracelet on that girl's hand looks like the one I bought a few days ago." He beckoned to the mallow and said, "Girl, come and take a look." ”

Zhao Shinan was about to retreat, but when he heard this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but stop. looked at Mrs. Dong. She carefully looked at the bracelet of the mallow, smiled lightly and shook her head: "It's too late, I can't see it, it's like a piece of material." ”

The man next to him asked, "Is that the bracelet you picked up at Li Kee's pawnshop?"

Mrs. Dong said with a smile: "It's not, it's all fate, if I hadn't gone to collect the accounts that day, I wouldn't have met the one who was a bracelet, I fell in love with it right away, Li Ji was still there grinding whether it was 20 oceans or 30 oceans, I immediately gave 100 oceans and grabbed it, such a good thing, Li Ji also pressed it too hard." After speaking, he looked at the mallow, "Girl, where did you get your bracelet? I bought it for 200 oceans and made a pair." ”

Malqueck was thoughtful and said with a smile: "I gave it to my sister, it was originally a pair, and I lost it." It's just not for sale. I wonder who you bought it from?"

When Mrs. Dong heard this, she couldn't buy it and would have to buy it back to her own, so she hurriedly said: "A woman in her forties only said that she came from Zhaozhuang in the south of the city. I don't know. By the way, what's the play at night?"

Old Lady Zhao frowned lightly and asked Mallows in a low voice: "Do you still have a sister?"

Mallow glanced at Zhao Shinan, who was standing next to him, his face was prematurely green, and smiled lightly: "The relatives of the side branch are rich in their families. The old lady didn't ask again.

The pawnshop, Chengnan Zhaozhuang, and the bracelet are very good. Zhao Shinan suddenly felt that there were still a lot of things he didn't know. I thought I could see clearly, but how did it become a fog to see flowers again? When will these pulling and pulling messes be over? Du Heng, what is in your heart!

Zhao Shinan's mind was a little confused, and while thinking about this, he returned to the banquet, his heart was upset, and he couldn't stop drinking the wine jug. The old lady frowned beside her: "I might as well have rested him if I knew this, and look, he drank even more." ”

Malallow looked at Zhao Shinan who was drunk next to the old lady, and looked at Du Heng, who was busy with his footsteps, it was really a good dish that was arched by pigs. Such a good young master, how can he be worthy of a woman like Du Heng. She didn't know where the other bracelet was, but she was afraid that the young grandmother gave it to someone who shouldn't have given it, and she was taken by others. As for who it was, she couldn't guess. But it must be someone that the young master doesn't want to see, otherwise he wouldn't have drunk like that.

Zhao Shinan was drunk, and the two brothers from the west courtyard carried him to the rest room in the east attic, which was divided into two parts for male and female guests, with two doors open respectively. If you need to change your clothes or take a break, you can take a break with tea here.

The old lady saw it in her eyes and instructed the mallow: "Send some sobering tea to the young master." Mallow understood, took the tea tray and walked to the lounge. Originally, there were two girls in the lounge who served specially, and Mallow firmly ordered: "You guys go out." The old lady told me to take care of the young master. ”

The two girls looked at each other, but the old lady had to pout and walk to the door of the woman's room. It happened that Futaba took a cloak from the room and gave it to Du Heng, and when he saw the looks of the two girls, he asked, "Just now I saw that the young master was carried into the house drunk and smoky, and you didn't serve in front of you, and came here to grind foreign workers?"

A girl said aggrievedly: "Sister Shuangye, Miss Mallow was ordered by the old lady to serve, and when it came to us, we were all blasted out." ”

Futaba gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of flirtatious girl is she? So saying, he walked to the door and pushed it slightly, but the door closed tightly from the inside. She coughed lightly: "Young master, do you need to send tea?"

Shuangye was a little anxious, but Zhao Shinan was inside, and she didn't dare to push the door in, thinking about it, she stomped her foot and quickly ran to find Du Heng.

Zhao Shinan was already drowsy and asleep, and she didn't hear Futaba's voice at all, mallow heard it, but she smiled faintly, her fingers crossed Zhao Shinan's eyebrows, the corners of her eyes, she was so close to Zhao Shinan for the first time, and she would be closer in the future. She shuddered and unbuttoned her collar, revealing a smear of snow on her neck and chest.

Just as he was about to continue to explain, Zhao Shinan's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes were a little blurry, and the rose-colored dress on the mallow made him stunned for a moment, and pulled the hand of the mallow over: "Heng'er?"

Mallows didn't support a single one, and lay down on Zhao Shinan's chest, Zhao Shinan's hand touched the bracelet on Mallow's arm, and she was a little sober, not Du Heng, she had no bracelet on her hand for a long time. That could only be mallow moly. Zhao Shinan played with the bracelet on the mallow arm and looked at the water color in detail.

Malallow didn't know what Zhao Shinan was thinking, and was even more emotionally teased by him, and couldn't help lowering her head: "Young master." Lying on Zhao Shinan's chest, his fingers began to scratch restlessly again, Zhao Shinan's heart was upset, and he ripped off the coat of the mallow, revealing his snow-white arms and low-cut shirt, which pierced Zhao Shinan's eyes. He said coldly, "You like this?"

Mallow's face turned red, she didn't know what Zhao Shinan was going to do, whether she wanted her or not, and said in a low voice: "Young master, I'm sincere—"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shinan had already said coldly: "Let's go out!" There was a bit of heat on his body, and after drinking, with fragrant vision, Zhao Shinan stroked his forehead.

Mallow's hand gently rubbed Zhao Shinan's sideburns, and his voice was a little stubborn: "Young master, I can serve you well." Zhao Shinan raised his hand and pulled away from Mallow's hand.

In the middle of the entanglement, the door opened, and Du Heng stood at the door with a shocked face. Shuangye played a trick, she was afraid that Du Heng would know that Malallow was not able to wipe his face, so she only told Du Heng that the young master was uncomfortable in the lounge after drinking too much, so Du Heng rushed over in a hurry, but she didn't expect such a fragrant scene after opening the door: Malvac was sitting next to Zhao Shinan wearing only a shirt on her upper body, and the hands of the two were intertwined.

Du Heng only felt cold from head to toe.

Zhao Shinan looked at Du Heng and remembered the bracelet, but he was not in a hurry to let go of Mallow's hand. just looked at Du Heng coldly, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.

I don't know how long it took, Du Heng seemed to come back from the shock, her eyes gradually darkened, she didn't speak, just silently closed the door again.
