The so-called family banquet is just a family sitting together eating a meal and talking, unlike the palace banquet rules and cumbersome rules, and there is no need to be as formal as going to other homes as a guest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of Cui Jiawan's matter, the atmosphere at the banquet was a little awkward, but with Lu and Cui Jiayin deliberately funny, Mrs. Zheng was in a good mood, and she stayed with them for a while after eating.

When Cui Jiayin got Mrs. Zheng's words, when he returned to the Yutang Pavilion, it was already three o'clock.

Seeing Zhu carrying a lamp and lighting the way for her in front of Cui Jiayin, the sound of frogs along the way continued, and occasionally Xia Cicada followed a few calls, making it more and more silent at night.

When he turned around Yixiu Garden, Cui Jiayin vaguely saw a figure, and disappeared in an instant.

Is it his own delusion? Or maybe the girl in the courtyard has just returned? Cui Jiayin thought, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Back to the Yutang Pavilion, I watched Zhu blow out the flickering candles in the glass lamp, and after putting her away, he waited for Cui Jiayin to bathe and change clothes.

Listening to the rain, Cui Jiayin's clothes were put away, and when he was about to withdraw, Cui Jiayin asked, "Where did Chengbi go?"

Cheng Bi looked at Zhu Du as the big girl next to Cui Jiayin, in the past, when Cui Jiayin came back, Cheng Bi must have wanted to show up, but she didn't see anyone tonight, so it was a little strange.

Sister Chengbi said something was wrong and went out. When the slave saw that she was in a hurry, she didn't dare to ask more. "Listen to the rain.

"Got it," Cui Jiayin took off the last hairpin, put it in the makeup dowry casually, turned his head to Tingyu and said, "When she comes back, come to me and say something, it's so late, it's worrying." ”

Tingyu said respectfully: "The slave knows." ”

"Alright, you go down first. Cui Jiayin said.

Listening to the rain, he silently went out of the inner room.

"The girl is too used to Chengbi. Seeing Zhu untie Cui Jiayin's belt, he complained: "If something goes wrong, who do you go to cry?"

"How can there be so many complaints? I'm used to her, and I'm used to you. Cui Jiayin smiled indifferently, and then asked: "What's wrong with Cheng Bi lately? But what happened? I haven't seen her much recently, and the few times I saw her, my face was not very good." But are you sick?"

"Where does the slave know!" looked at Zhu Dao: "The slave also asked, but she refused to say." ”

"Well, let her go. Cui Jiayin sighed, what kind of cause is planted, what kind of fruit will be born, she only hopes that they will not regret it in the future.

thought that Cheng Bi would come back soon, but it wasn't until Hai Shizheng that Cui Jiayin was ready to fall asleep, and Cheng Bi didn't talk back.

"Miss Lao remembers, the slave and maid are fine. Cheng Bi lowered her head, her face buried in the shadows, which made it difficult to see.

"Is it really okay?" Cui Jiayin asked: "If there is something, don't hold it in your heart, our master and servant have been for many years, as long as I can help, I will definitely not stand idly by." ”

"It's really fine, don't bother the girl. Cheng Bi's voice was low and hoarse, not as smart and pleasant as in the past, but now it sounds like a person in the twilight.

"You don't want to say, and I don't ask any more. Cui Jiayin stared at the shaking bead curtain with an uncertain expression.

"I'm sure you're tired, go back and rest. Seeing that Zhu is worried about you, I will also say a few words to her to make her feel at ease. ”

"The slave knows. Cheng Bi said, bowed out of the room, and when she was about to go out, she paused, looked at the figure at the other end of the bead curtain, and asked:

"Girl, if one day ......," she bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "What would you do if someone turned their backs on you?"

Cui Jiayin was silent for a long time, so long that Cheng Bi thought she wouldn't answer, but she spoke up.

Her voice was calm, without ups and downs, and said, "It depends on the mood, the left and right will not make her feel better." ”

Cheng Bi was silent, quiet, and said "The slave and maid retire", and then gently closed the door and retreated.

Cui Jiayin looked at the dark beams of the house and couldn't sleep for a long time.

～～～

Soon it was May 15, the day of Mrs. Zheng's birthday.

According to the usual practice, Cui Fu donated a large amount of sesame oil money in Ganzhe Temple, and gave porridge and noodles at the foot of Yuntai Mountain, trying to celebrate.

Because of the large number of people coming, the Cui Mansion was very busy, and Cui Jiayin also followed the Lu family and greeted those ladies and ladies.

The Lu family is good at interpersonal communication, and the ladies who came here are either good friends with the Lu family or want to have a relationship with Cui Jiapan, so it is not difficult to greet them. Cui Jiayin only needs to follow the shouting and listen to their greetings behind the Lu family obediently.

As soon as Madame Bai entered the door with a pair of children, Lu personally greeted her. Cui Jiayin also had to follow.

"Brother Jing, why didn't you bring him here?" Lu asked.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's all coming. Madame Bai smiled and said, "Follow his father in front! You also know that now, he is not as comfortable as Brother Yi." ”

Bai Jing is the eldest son of Mrs. Bai, and now he is eighteen years old, it should be time to get to know some uncles and uncles, make some contacts, and help him in the officialdom in the future.

Knowing this, the Lu family didn't say anything, and only invited Mrs. Bai to sit down for a while.

When the Lu family was talking to Mrs. Bai, Bai Shu also walked to Cui Jiayin's side and said with a smile: "I haven't had time to invite you to play, but who knows that I came to your house first." ”

Cui Jiayin looked towards Bai Shu, and happened to see Bai Yi next to Bai Shu, only to see the other party smiling at her, but his eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at her. Cui Jiayin felt strange, Bai Yi was not a cowardly character on weekdays, but now what is going on?

She asked Bai Shu, "What's wrong with your second brother?"

Bai Shu later knew the reason, and felt a little pity in her heart, and saw Cui Jiayin looking completely unaware, and also knew that her second brother and Cui Jiayin were probably "Lang has no intention of concubine", and they couldn't do it.

Bai Shu didn't want to embarrass Cui Jiayin because of this incident, so she didn't tell the truth, and said perfunctorily: "My second brother is such a character, what does he do?"

Cui Jiayin just asked casually, and seeing that Bai Shu didn't want to say it, he also left the matter behind.

"You sit with your aunt for a while, and I'll look for you later." Cui Jia was worried that the girl next to her would think that Bai Shu was not close and would not play with her, so he said more.

"Okay, you and your aunt are busy, don't you worry, where will I be polite to you?" Bai Shu smiled, pressed Cui Jiayin's hand, and sat down with his mother, talking and laughing with the girls around him, and he was very comfortable.

Cui Jiayin smiled, and also felt that his worries were really a little unnecessary. With Madame Bai's words and deeds, where can Bai Shu not understand human relations? The girls are all very well educated, even if they are not familiar with each other, they will never embarrass people with a cold face.

Thinking of this, Cui Jiayin also put his mind at ease and followed the Lu family wholeheartedly to deal with those visitors.
