The Cui family and the Yan family have a good family, the old lady Cui and the old lady Yan grew up small, and the two old men celebrate their birthdays every year, and they all come to congratulate each other, and the feelings can be seen.

Mrs. Yan has not been smooth for most of her life, after the township test has been beaten to a person's background, she has repeatedly planted her head in the examination, there was an opportunity to go out to know the county, but she missed it because of a serious illness, and then the clan gave birth to various incidents one after another, nothing more than the struggle for power, property and face, and the bad thing, and finally made a fuss for several years, and finally made a split, and the vitality of the family was greatly damaged, and the old lady Yan was even more unable to spare the energy to take the exam, and when he was ready to go all out to take the exam, he made a bad thing of Shouwang's rebellion, and he implicated hundreds of people in the court, everyone who is an official is in danger, and they are still in time for the big exam, and they have been delayed for a while.

Mrs. Yan's career has repeatedly been hindered and hit by natural disasters*, and she was disheartened for a while, so she simply sought a scholar to be a scholar, and was arranged to go to Splendid Academy as a professor.

After teaching for decades, Mrs. Yan saw that her family business was prosperous, and it didn't matter if she had his idea of salary to supplement the family, and she was happy to have an old man, so she simply resigned from her position as a professor and concentrated on raising her children and grandchildren at home.

Contrary to Mrs. Yan's career is his good friend Mrs. Cui, the two of them were raised at the same time, when Mrs. Yan lingered on the sickbed, Mrs. Cui was advancing all the way, passed the meeting test and the palace test, survived decades of external experience, survived the most terrifying period of the Shouwang Party rebellion, and finally climbed to the position of Dali Siqing of Zhengsanpin, sat down steadily, and then boiled his qualifications year after year.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cui is also a very emotional person, and he did not neglect to alienate Fa Xiao because of his high position, and the two families have been very close for decades, and Mrs. Yan first felt that he was gradually parting from his friends and losing face, and then after his eldest son was nervous and jumped to the position of the waiter of the Zhengsanpin Criminal Department at a young age, the old man's psychology was immediately balanced - Lao Cui mixed for most of his life to become a positive third product, and Lao Tzu's son reached the point of being equal to him in the blink of an eye, what happened to the third product? Zhengsanpin is my son, and Zhengsanpin calls me father.

More and more with the old lady Cui is so good that she can wear a pair of pants.

Yan Qi's actions are not taken seriously, and the number of times he has been a guest in Cui Mansion from childhood to adulthood can be so many that he vomits, which shows how familiar the relationship between the two families is.

Cui Mansion and Yan Mansion are not too far apart, both in the eastern Jumang District, close to the Jinting Fang of Ruoye Fang, the door is adjacent to Dendrobium Street, and opposite is the Xinguo Mansion.

At this time, half of the street has been lined up with the carriages of the guests who came to celebrate the birthday, fortunately, there are basically no pedestrians on this street on weekdays, and it can basically be regarded as a private street between the Cui family and the Xinguo Mansion, so this congestion will not hinder the traffic, but the guests who come behind have no way to continue to move forward by car, so they can only park in place and walk to the gate collectively.

When the Yan family walked outside the gate of Cui's mansion, there were several families in front, because they had to hand over posts when they entered the door, and the doormen of the Xiangfu had to sing posts, and the Xiangfu family members who were responsible for receiving distinguished guests at the door had to have a few words with the guests.

Yan Qi stood in the crowd and looked up at the door, the entrance was a large piece of jeweled back of the head and colorful gorgeous brocade, this angle can not see anyone's face, but you can see the sky-high extravagance, the red beam and the blue tile of the high gate, the majestic and heroic stone lion guarding the door, the expensive and gorgeous welcome red carpet, and the laughter and noise of the BMW incense car, the scenery and wealth of the upper circle are all in front of him, and the glitz and luxury of the peaceful and prosperous world are all in front of him.

In the back of a colorful back, a person turned his face to look at this room, wearing an ultramarine brocade robe, gold thread embroidered with curly grass and banana leaf patterns, lined with a plain face like the spring snow of Daishan sprinkled with sunshine, startled behind a low inhalation and coquettish smile.

Neuropathy is also so popular. Yan Qi raised his hand to cover his forehead, blocking the extraordinarily dazzling sunlight today.

Neuropathy also raised his hand to shield himself from the sun, then turned his face back.

The flow of people followed the sunlight into the gate of Cui's Mansion, the doorman hung a flower and sang a post, and several masters of Cui's Mansion stood in the gate to greet the guests, greeting everyone who entered the door. After entering the gate, you will walk through a sandwich road, and when you enter the Yi Gate, you will be greeted by the young masters and daughters of the Cui Mansion, who are responsible for personally leading the guests to the place where they are entertained.

It was the eldest couple of the Cui family who took the Yan family, Mrs. Cui held Mrs. Yan in her arms, greeting and greeting, the smile was crisp and refreshing, Mrs. Yan was coaxed by her for a while, and sure enough, the relationship between the two families was excellent. The two sides talked and laughed inside the door for a while, and then the Yan family was led to continue inside. All the way through the corridor through the courtyard, turn around the pavilion, pass by with the guests who do not know each other, and work hand in hand with the old acquaintances, and finally arrive at a wide open place, the male guests stay in the main hall, and the female dependents continue to go deeper, bypassing a large rockery, and another open space, this side is the activity of the female dependents.

Mrs. Yan was directly invited to the small hall occupied by Mrs. Cui to talk about herself, Mrs. Yan took Mrs. Yan San and the girls to invite an out, and after returning to the hall, she began to walk generously between the female guests in the Xuan, and met this group of jokes and laughed a few words, caught the fun for a long time, and showed her communication skills with ease, and the other female guests were also the same eight-sided exquisite talk and laughter, for a time the whole Changxuan laughter was very lively, full of colorful clothes and embroidered shoes, ears full of hairpin rings, two or three gangs, four or five groups, there are talking points everywhere, there is no cold field, the atmosphere is harmonious, but if you observe carefullyThe reason for this is not because everyone is taught in women's studies, and women's studies in the world are similar, all in order to mash women into mud and press them into the mold designed by men, and then create thousands of ladies and ladies who are no more standard in the eyes of men, and finally become a tool that can be used in men's social circles.

Mrs. Yan greeted her circle, and finally took her and the children to find a seat to sit, and got together with a few familiar female relatives to eat tea and laugh slowly, the topic was nothing more than jewelry, clothes, cosmetics, and short new gossip in the parents, after chatting for ten years, Mrs. Yan San couldn't sit still, got up to talk to the wives she had befriended, and Mrs. Yan also sent the children to find friends to play- The times are open, and the ability to communicate is the most important skill that the nobles and celebrities should master, and on such occasions, the elders will always not miss the opportunity to exercise their children.

It is precisely because of the loose connivance of the social atmosphere, the party banquet of various names has also become the favorite and most popular leisure activity of the people of this dynasty, the host is proud of holding a lively and successful party, so there are always a variety of entertainment items for the guests to entertain, which if a successful party is held, it can even be talked about for a long time, and it also has a good packaging and dissemination effect on the reputation of the host's family.

People always think about fame and fortune, power and wealth, and enjoy others and self-benefit and win-win things, who is not willing to do it?

The sisters of the Yan family really went to call friends and went out of the hall to play together. Adults are not moving, so sit and drink tea and chat, children can't be idle, then go to the garden to enjoy the scenery, while they have not yet set foot in the vanity fair, right and wrong circle, while they have not yet dedicated themselves to the family and husband, while they are still the daughters of their parents, while there is still a heart that has not been completely educated and brainwashed, take advantage of the good times, take advantage of the youth, be happy in time, and be youthful!

Yan Qi, whose face was like a tree, also walked out of the living room with the boiling rain, and she had already cooked the flowers and plants of the Cui family, and she was so ripe that she was like a stream, and she came out just to breathe, and by the way, she cut off Wu Yue and Lu Lotus who had not yet arrived.

"Girl, look, that magpie's nest is still there!" Boiling Yu has followed Yan Qi to Cui's house n many times, and this time he is busy looking for déjà vu, "Oh, I don't know if Shi Cui'er has grown up, I compared with her last year, only one inch taller than her, and she also said that she must be longer than me this year, otherwise give me her purse with a royal blue satin embroidered with a hundred butterfly patterns!"

Shi Cui'er is the maid of Cui's Mansion, and she can talk to Boiling Rain quite well.

"Girl, do you remember, last year you accidentally sprinkled a bag of flower seeds under the south flower wall, and you can't say that they will bloom this year!"

My head hurts.

Yan Qi took Boiled Rain back to the hall again, and Boiled Rain immediately shut down, pretending to hang his head and stand behind Yan Qi, just like the top ten little maids in the country.

Picking up the corner by the window and sitting down, Cui's subordinates brought up a cup of Huading clouds and mist, and two plates of dried fruits and two plates of candied fruit, Yan Qi took a dried apricot and handed it to Boiling Yu, who took it with a smile and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

Yan Qi drank himself here, turned his head to look out the window, and saw a rockery standing craggy, with a huge plantain covering half of the light, and someone was talking on the other side of the rockery:

“…… Really? Oh my God! I'm scared to death, I said why I haven't seen her since the academy opened!" a voice said.

"Of course, this matter was suppressed, in the first place, Liang Xianhui was killed by someone is not something that can be exported, who will harm her for no reason? Another voice said.

"That'...... Li Taoman was really sentenced to death?"

"What else can I do, I heard that his family is eager to execute her quickly, so that I can cover it up as soon as possible, so as not to spread the word...... Li Taoman also has three brothers and two younger sisters, and it is inevitable that his reputation will be damaged. ”

"Alas, tell me, she is still called a talented woman like her, and her brain is not clear at all! Even if she dies by herself, she doesn't want to think that her family still has to ask for face!"

"That's not what I said!"

Yan Qi got up, walked towards a windowless corner, and found a new seat to sit down.

It is really hard for women in this era to take care of their family's face even when they die.

And what is even more tragic is that it is also a woman who refuses to say anything about the dying person.

Fortunately, the topic of conversation between the two young ladies next to Yan Qi this time is still more attractive, and they are talking about eating: "Ten catties of noodles, three taels of honey, four taels of mutton fat oil, half a catty of lard, after dissolving, mix well with honey, knead into the noodles, put it in the stove and roast it slowly, baked out is fragrant, crispy and sweet, it is the practice of crispy honey cake......"

Where can I sell such delicious cakes?

After listening to the kung fu of the three teas, Wu Yue and Lu Rong came back and forth, followed their respective families to socialize first, and then came to meet with Yan Qi, Wu Yue first explained why he came late: "It's not because of my twelfth uncle, a few small arrows in the family have not been practiced well, and I got up early this morning and was punished by my twelfth uncle, all of them were punished by ghosts and wolves, and if they didn't practice well, they were not allowed to go out, and they didn't come so late." Xiaoliu, why are you so late?" asked Lu Rong.

Lu Rong only said lightly: "Aunt Xu is not feeling well. ”

Wu Yue snorted annoyed when she heard this: "I think she is pestering her uncle again and not going out?!"

"Ah Yue, taste this honey-stained plum. Lu Lotus picked up a plum and stuffed it into Wu Yue's mouth to interrupt her words, and glanced at her by the way, Wu Yue saw Lu Lotus's sister sitting not far away, although her eyelids were drooping, she could see that the corner of her eyes was frequently sweeping towards this side.

“…… I want my father to take this opportunity to show her other people......" Lu Rong said in an almost inaudible voice.

"I'm sorry!" Wu Yue said angrily.

"What's wrong?" asked the elder of the next family when he heard this.

"I'm spitting plum kernels, hehe. Wu Yue was busy smiling to hide.

Lu Lotus was amused and laughed, patted the back of her hand, and said in a low voice: "That's it, it's better to send it out early, so as not to be a demon at home every day." After all, he sighed softly.

Wu Yue didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to be silent, and stepped on Yan Qi under the table, and Yan Qi said: "Eat more snacks at this time, so as not to have enough to eat after the banquet." ”

But for this kind of large-scale banquet, entertainment and reserve are the first, and no one can eat with chopsticks, most of them can't be filled, and can only be filled by refreshments in advance or afterwards.

Wu Yue said: "You don't believe it, my twelfth uncle is here today!"

Yan Qidao: "The chef of the Cui family has a few dishes that are particularly good, such as stewed pigeon with Huaishan wolfberries, mutton crystal horns, and spicy rabbit shreds. ”

Wu Yue said: "My second brother got a new horse, with rouge spots on the snow-white skin, thinking about what to name." ”

Yan Qidao: "The clothes cake I ate this morning is a bit heartburn." ”

Lu Rong laughed and said, "Okay, you two, the conversation is too blunt not to say, so you have to talk about it together, each of them has their own words, and everyone is big to hear." ”

Just talking and laughing, in a blink of an eye, it was time to use the banquet, a large group of old girls came out of this hall, and went to the banquet hall, five rooms and six large open halls, all the interior was opened, a total of more than a dozen large tables were set up, the male guests were on the left, the female guests were on the right, and the top table sat on today's birthday boy Lao Cui and the guests in the middle of the high-ranking power.

For a while, both male and female guests rushed towards the banquet hall, laughing and crowding, Yan Qi was mixed in the crowd and moved slowly, and saw that everyone in front of him suddenly separated to both sides, and a person rode the wind and waves to the front of him, looking at her with his eyebrows wide and smiling: "Xiao Qi." ”
