Chapter 420: A Small Banquet
Pei Jieming stood in the gazebo, looking up at the few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and felt irritable. He knew that Miss Jade was not a person who dragged mud and water, she could do what she said. He also had to make a decision before Shen Shi, but he was always entangled in his heart, and it was always difficult to choose between staying and leaving. He squinted his eyes slightly, thinking back to the conversation in the front hall just now, and always felt that the words of the jade girl still contained deep meaning. It's just that he can't figure it out for a while.
Today's banquet can be regarded as a celebration banquet. Although Meng Youfa and several people unanimously demanded that everything be simple. However, chicken, duck and fish meat should be there, and they are all there. Lan Xin sat on the main seat, Pei Jieming sat on the seat on Lan Xin's left, and Meng Youfa took Meng Zhuo to sit on the right hand. His subordinates are Guo Xi's father and son. Pei Jieming's subordinates are sister-in-law Huang and Huang Heng······ All nine children in the school arrived, and each family was accompanied by a parent.
Lan Xin sat on the main seat, swept his eyes around, and said with a smile: "We have this opportunity to gather here today, and we should still thank these children in our school." This time, these children did very well in the exam. Of course, this should be thanked to our sir. If it weren't for his teachings, these children wouldn't have had such good grades. So I suggest that we toast Mr. with a drink. ”
"Thank you, sir. As soon as Lan Xin's words fell, everyone present picked up the wine glasses on the table and thanked Pei Jieming with a smile. Benjamin Pei couldn't, so he could only pick up the cup, raise it to everyone, and drink the wine in the cup.
Putting down the cup, he smiled and said, "I understand your kindness." But Pei felt that we should be most grateful to the jade girl. If it weren't for the girl's kindness, Pei would still be the nameless junior who worries about three meals! Because of the girl's kindness, these children have a bright future, and it has changed Pei's fate!" He held up the wine glass with both hands and said respectfully, "Pei Mou thanks the girl for her kindness! Pei Mou did it, the girl please feel free." ”
Lan Xin picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pei is polite. I just got a head start. With Mr.'s talent, ups and downs are a matter of time. ”
Chen Hansheng rolled his eyes, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Girl, our family ······"
"Wait!" Lan Xin snapped off his words, looking at the wine glass he picked up with a smile, but his bland eyes gave people an invisible pressure. Chen Hansheng's heart sank, and the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble, and the wine flowed down the glass. He clenched his tooth sockets, holding on to keep himself from showing his timidity.
Hmph, Lan Xin said in a cold voice, "My original intention of founding this school was just to let these children in the house be able to read and reason. Then you came looking for you. For the sake of the sincerity of being a parent, I didn't say much and enrolled them in the school. But I never thought that you would treat my good temper as no temper, and the school as a good hall, and take everything for granted. ”
"No, no, I······ We ······" Wang San hurriedly retorted. Originally, I heard that the children in the school were all the children of Zhuangzi's slaves, and Mr. was also a lame talent. He was dissatisfied with the school in his heart. When he said this to Chen Hansheng, Chen Hansheng was also angry.
So that day, when Chen Hansheng complained, he was used to it, and he also echoed a few words. Coincidentally, it happened to be heard by the people in the Jade Mansion. I felt quite uncomfortable, but when I saw the list, my heart became even more angry. If it is said that Mr. is not talented and incapable, then why are other people all admitted to Tongsheng? If it is said that Mr. is biased, but Huang Heng and Chen Mingliang have both passed the examination.
He sat down at the table with a grim face, and when he heard the Jade Girl mention the events of that day, he instinctively retorted. But to the perceptive eyes of the jade girl, he suddenly couldn't say anything. "We'······· I ······ Actually, that ······"
Lan Xin glanced at it lightly, ignoring his explanation. just continued: "I know that my temple here is too small to accommodate you two big Buddhas. That being the case, I will not stop you, lest I delay your good future. ”
Wang San was completely dumbfounded, he is not leaving now, nor is he staying. pursed his lips tightly, looked at Chen Hansheng, wanted him to open his mouth, and begged the jade girl to keep Wang Xin, after all, what happened that day was caused by him.
Chen Hansheng clenched the teacup in his hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand jumped violently. Since yesterday's words were heard by the people in the Jade Mansion, he has been uneasy in his heart. Although he usually yelled in front of Wang San, he didn't take the school seriously, but he never thought of leaving the school in his heart.
Today, he was told to come over to the feast. His tense heart couldn't help but relax, but he didn't dare to let go completely. After coming to the school, I looked at the people of the Yu family, who only cared about killing sheep and chickens. No one came to greet him, and no one embarrassed him. This made his hanging heart rest in his stomach peacefully.
I was a little complacent in my heart, hehe, it seems that those people in the Yu family didn't tell their girls about it at all. Or rather, the girl didn't take it to heart at all. When I had dinner later, I saw the opportunity to act and be polite to the jade girl, and this matter is probably over. Even if I can't get by, when I ask later, I will give him a death and not admit it, see what they can do to me?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and if it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have laughed three times! At the banquet, after seeing everyone's greetings, he actively raised his wine glass, with a smile on his face that he thought was amiable. I didn't expect that my face was so low, but the other party directly attacked without appreciation, embarrassed at the same time, a little annoyed in my heart, and even a little resentful. Even if you want to pursue yesterday's events, you can find a clean place and two people talk alone, how can you put it on the table and hype it up?
Lan Xin looked at Chen Hansheng's whole face, and his eyes were purring. In that angry eye, a touch of fierceness flashed from time to time. Lan Xin knew that she was hated by Chen Hansheng, but she was not afraid at all, and greeted the others with a smile: "Everyone, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
