Zhou's, Fang Yuting, and Fang Yulu surrounded Fang Yuhe and asked for warmth, Fang Yuyan and Fang Yujing talked quietly, but He Jiaxian seemed to be isolated from the world, looking at the mouth and mouth, and everything had nothing to do with her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When they were bored, someone from outside came to spread the word that the auspicious time had arrived, and let them go out.

Zhou, He Jiaxian, and Fang Yuhe went out together to kneel and worship to congratulate Chen's birthday.

He Jiaxian saw Fang Qizong at this time, he was a weak, tall and thin, pale young man, wearing a wide brocade robe, coughing twice from time to time, if the cough was serious, he would bend down and toss for a while, and Zhou was considerate and gentle on the side.

They gave an embroidered screen of Shoubi Nanshan, which was worth a lot of money.

Fang Qirui sent an account book, but the pages were made of gold leaf, and when he turned it, he knew the crisp sound of Suosuo, which made many guests praise him and praise him for his filial piety.

When it was the turn of the old three parties, a weak scholar on the side sent a box of East China Sea pearls, a total of twelve, each of which was as round and as big, and it was extremely rare, and the guests who looked directly at it were dumbfounded.

"The third young master is studying in Beijing, and there is no way to come back, so he ordered his subordinates to send this pearl and wish his wife a long life. Suddenly, the surrounding praise was endless.

He Jiaxian knew that the third young master Fang Qiye was outside to learn to do business, but at the age of more than thirteen, he was sent to the capital far away, and it was said that he would study for two years, and he should come back in half a year, and when he came back, he would slowly take over some of the Fang family's business.

Fang Qikai was young and didn't prepare any gifts, but only knelt down and kowtowed respectfully three times: "The son wishes his mother happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and her longevity is better than that of Nanshan Immortal Pine." ”

He Jiaxian stood aside after the ceremony, his eyes wandered among the guests, but he never saw his father and mother, and couldn't help but wonder, his father has always paid the most attention to etiquette, and it is impossible not to come to his mother's birthday today.

But he could only hold on, wait for the ceremony to be completed, and then lead the ladies to the backyard flower hall to gather.

A tall man came to meet him, and put a little brother carved in pink and jade into the hands of an aunt, and Fang Yuhe shook his hand with a smile: "Daddy has something to do, go play with my mother and grandmother." ”

He Jiaxian felt that the man was a little familiar, and the man's eyes happened to glance at her unconsciously, and he actually smiled at her kindly.

He Jiaxian nodded respectfully and called, "Brother-in-law." ”

Fang Yuhe came back to his senses and looked at the two of them, and said to Brother Han: "This is the second aunt." ”

He Jiaxian hurriedly took out a flower-shaped gold coin from his purse, saw that the child was really cute, took another one, and stuffed it in his hand: "Take it and play with it." ”

Fang Yuhe smiled weakly at her, ordered the girl who was with her to accept it, and then slowly followed everyone to the backyard.

He Jiaxian looked at those aunts and uncles who regarded her as nothing, and only took Zhou's hand and made love, thinking that his husband was a concubine, and he was not close, so he simply followed at the bottom of the back, but saw Gu Qingrang get up from the banquet and hurriedly walked out.

The Gu family and the Fang family are relatives, it is not strange that he came to He Jiaxian, but it is about to start the banquet, where is he going?

There was no time to think about it, and Jixiang behind him urged He Jiaxian to hurry up, so he had to spread his steps again to keep up with the team.

The flower hall was already bustling with a bunch of girls, the small ones playing with the small ones, and the big ones going to the big ones.

Fang Yuting, who is of the right age to get married, all sit on the chair and act shyly.

Uncle Xue and Chen's words were smiling, the atmosphere was lively, and Chen took out He Jiaxian's birthday gift to read it to everyone, Xue was naturally disdainful, but other ladies praised each other, and it was very lively for a while.

Miss Min'er is about the same age as Fang Yujing, but she looks down on Fang Yujing as a concubine, and only plays well with Fang Yulu, and Fang Yuyan also has close girlfriends.

Because Fang Qikai was young, Aunt Shen dragged him in and guided him to play with Brother Han.

The two little boys went to the corner and played marbles together.

He Jiaxian looked at the house full of children and dependents, he was alone, no one greeted her, no one played with her, and there was no gap for her to intervene in Zhou's guests, but he was happy to observe freely.

Brother Han tugged at her skirt: "Second aunt, do you know how to play marbles?" He pointed at Fang Qikai: "He likes to play tricks, I don't play with him." ”

This He Jiaxian is a strong point, and it is also her duty to entertain small guests, so she squatted down to play with Brother Han.

Aunt Shen came over to take a look for a while, and said hesitantly: "I remember that you have this set of heads, and Aunt Mei also has a set." ”

He Jiaxian got up and smiled embarrassedly: "This is from Aunt Mei." ”

Aunt Shen said loudly: "I said it." The second master was born in Aunt Mei's womb, even if the lady has raised her for more than ten years, she is still her mother's mother in the end. ”

Chen's face turned white, and before he could speak, Aunt Xue had already gotten up and glared angrily: "It's still so unruly!"

He Jiaxian was secretly glad that he had taken out all the old books in his clothes today, and finally no one said that she was shabby and ashamed, but he didn't expect to come out like this, and he was caught off guard all of a sudden.

Da Chen narrowed his eyes and hugged his sister: "At my mother's birthday banquet, I am not afraid of taboos for the things given by Aunt Dai. In the end, it is a lady from a scholarly family, there is no concept of respect and inferiority, do you really think that it is the king of the whole world, and everyone is the same person?"

The two of them sang and harmonized, and the eyes of many ladies and daughters-in-law and girls looked over here, and He Jiaxian knew that he had committed a big taboo, every pore on his body was like a thorn, and he couldn't pull out the uncomfortable diaphragm, so he could only be cheeky and pretend to be stupid and innocent.

The little aunt was still dressed up, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile at this time: "I have a different opinion from you, I look at this child as honest, I'm afraid this is the best set of faces." ”

He Jiaxian was grateful for her emergency at this time, nodded busily, and said obediently: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know that there is such a taboo, I just think about the person who can't lose her mother......"

Chen forced a smirk on his face and said softly: "Are you saying that I treated you harshly and never even gave you a set of jewelry?"

"Daughter-in-law doesn't mean this......" He Jiaxian didn't expect her to misunderstand more and more in a few words, although Chen had a smile on the corner of his mouth, it was a questioning tone. The little aunt covered her mouth and smiled: "The second aunt is really unforgiving, look at this child." She took He Jiaxian's hand: "What is taboo or not, just look at what people think, everyone knows it." ”

Da Chen's mouth moved, and Chen held his hand down, so he didn't speak again.

He Jiaxian saw that the turmoil was about to pass, and breathed a sigh of relief, she understood what her little aunt meant-this rule is an unspoken rule, not on the surface, she did not make a mistake.

Chen adjusted his mood, made the fake smile three points realistic, squinted and said: "What are you doing in a daze, your little aunt likes you so much, why don't you add some tea to her." ”

He Jiaxian was busy going over, Brother Han squirmed around on the nurse, and reached out to grab her shoulders and shirt: "Brother Han wants to play with the second aunt, Brother Han wants to play with the second aunt......

Although the people here are either rich or expensive, the best of them is none other than the Weichang Hou family, and Brother Han is the center of the stars holding the moon, and only the house full of children is embarrassed to please a child, so they all surround Fang Yuhe.

At this moment, his voice was crying, and Chen got up and hugged him: "Good boy, don't cry, it's all because the second aunt is not good, make our brother Han cry, and my grandmother has sugar candy here." He winked as he spoke.

Before He Jiaxian understood what was "bad" about him, he was pushed out by a few maids and squarantined out of the crowd. She was already used to it, and shook her head senselessly, so she couldn't leave without permission, so she leaned on the pillar and summarized how to avoid these inexplicable "thunder" next time.

Behind her, a girl's silver bell-like laughter came over, and her back slammed into her back, He Jiaxian hurriedly came back to her senses, and the girl didn't apologize, only stared at a pair of round and clever eyes: "Why are you standing here, blocking the way of this county lord!"

This is the title of the Heavenly Family! Where did He Jiaxian dare to care about her bumping into herself first, and hurriedly explained: "I was thinking about things, and I didn't pay attention." She didn't know what to call in the face of the county lord, so she said to me casually, pointing to the pillar: "Actually, the county lord should thank me, if I didn't block the pillar, you would have hit it more painfully." ”

The county lord was amused when he heard this, tilted his head and looked her up and down, and found that he was a few years older than himself, and sighed: "It's interesting for you to talk, but it's a pity that you are older than me, so we can't play together." ”

and inexplicably got an accusation, He Jiaxian saw that she spoke casually, there was no arrogance, and there was no intention of settling accounts with herself, so he said casually: "Who said that you almost can't play together when you are old? She pointed to the girls and ladies in the middle of the flower hall: "There are many people over there who are the same age as the county lord, and I haven't seen the county lord play with them." ”

If you can play together, you won't be in a boring and mentally retarded game like "walking backwards" with the two maids you bring.

The county lord smiled: "I think in my heart what you said is true, but I don't admit it." This was said by my mother, and I don't want to admit that she was wrong. She said she was about old enough to play together. She saw He Jiaxian combing the woman's bun and knew that she was married: "What's more, you are already married, and I am still in the boudoir." ”

He Jiaxian was also interesting to listen to her, but he was snubbed again, and seriously argued with her: "What your mother said is not wrong, she is right." ”

The county lord was stunned and a little puzzled.

He Jiaxian grinned, looking at the girl in front of him who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, the same age as Jiahui, and became a little more compassionate: "Common sense is that people of the same age can get together. She paused for a moment, and saw that the county lord was very interested, before she continued: "But there are always exceptions to things in the world. ”

"We all say that parents love their children, and your mother naturally loves you very much. ”

The county lord nodded hurriedly.

He Jiaxian smiled: "But do you know that among the people, there are many people who can't eat, so they sell their sons and daughters." She saw Chun Xing waiting on the side, so she beckoned her over: "How did you come to the mansion?"

"There are too many children in the family to support, so my father and mother sold me to the Fang family. Chun Xing had just finished answering, and before she stood for long, Mother Hu asked her to boil water and add tea, and she was busy looking at He Jiaxian.

He Jiaxian nodded at her, and Chun Xingcai pouted and whispered: "I just can't see us idle......"

The county lord over there was already dumbfounded: "There is no one around me who sells his children." ”

"Therefore, it is natural that the county lord and that group of people can't go together. He Jiaxian smiled gently: "Your mother is not wrong, it's just that what she said is common sense, and the county lord is not an ordinary person." ”

He Jiaxian thought about it, and it seemed that he couldn't explain the mysterious concept of biological age and mental age to her, so he could only choose some more easy-to-understand metaphors: "For example, I don't like needlework, and those who like needlework don't like to play with me." ”

"Like-minded!" He Jiaxian concluded: "Two people have to be like-minded to play together, age is only a very small factor, after all, for us, the same age, like-minded like-minded is more likely." ”

She pointed to the busy figure of another little maid: "She is about the same age as you, but you can play, but she has to serve people, and her identity is very different, and she can't play together." ”

The county lord smiled at his fingers: "I understand what you said, you mean, there are always exceptions to everything, they can play together, proving that my mother's words are right, I don't like to play with them, it means that I am the exception, and I don't have the same interests as them, right?"

He Jiaxian couldn't help but smile and said: "The son can be taught." ”

The county lord also smiled: "Of course, I'm smart." Then he asked, "Then who are you? Whose daughter-in-law is it, and can't you play with those daughters-in-law?"

He Jiaxian glanced at her and said indifferently: "Like-minded people." The two men looked at each other and smiled, covering their mouths and clucking against the pillar.

The huge crowd began to stir, He Jiaxian and the little county lord looked over together, and saw a woman who was slightly plain dressed among the many jeweled ladies, followed by a girl, and saluted towards the Chen family: "Sister-in-law, I'm late to come back, forgive my sins." ”

Chen Shi hurriedly got off his seat, stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "Not too late, not too late, I received a letter a few days ago saying that you have encountered bandits, but you and your eldest brother are worried, and now it is good to return safely, and it is good to be safe." ”

The woman called the girl behind her to come out and salute, and the girl bowed down, with a graceful posture and elegant action: "Yuzhu greets the uncle, and wishes the uncle eternal youth." ”

Chen smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was busy rewarding her, picked up the woman and sat down, and asked the sisters to come over one by one to meet her.

He Jiaxian knew that this was the second room of the Fang family, the second master of Fang became an official through the imperial examination, and the family was released for seven or eight years, and hurried back to celebrate Chen's birthday.

Fang Yuzhu was about to be stunned, but she didn't seem to be interested in the other party's Yuyan, but she only saw that He Jiaxian seemed to have spirit: "I have heard that my second sister-in-law has poetry and books, and her talent is extraordinary, and my sister has admired her for a long time." ”
