The missed was irretrievable, and Zeng Mohan finally lost his soul and left. Music-Text-

I don't know if he said anything to Zeng Yuwei afterwards, not only Zeng Mohan did not appear in the whole day after that, but also Zeng Yuwei, who had always been clingy to He Zhi. When it was time for dinner, the dishes sent by the maids were still He Zhi's favorites, which showed that although Zeng Mohan was disappointed and melancholy, he did not have any problems with He Zhi because of this.

After the matter passed like this, the next day was Zeng Yuanzhi's birthday. The Zeng family was originally a famous family, and Zeng Yuanzhi was a prefect, so naturally there were many people who came to celebrate his birthday on this day, and the entire Taishou Mansion was also busy early.

Wei Lai and He Zhi didn't arrive too early, although they were guests in Zeng's mansion, but the two of them didn't bother to join in the excitement that day. He Zhi was too lazy to deal with that much, and Wei Lai and the Zeng family had little friendship, so the two of them chose a time that was neither early nor late, and the least noticeable to go to the front hall.

Xi Qiu followed behind the two of them with He Zhi's painting, and as soon as they arrived in the front hall, He Zhi instructed her to send the painting as a birthday gift. It's just that it is coming, but He Zhi unexpectedly admonished: "Remember, it was sent in the name of General Wei." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other two were stunned, Xi Qiu seemed a little unhappy, and Wei Lai even asked, "Why do you want to send it in my name?" I don't have much friendship with the Zeng family, so I'm just accompanying you today. ”

He Zhi blinked, naturally she would not say that she was going to take this opportunity to spread the news of the marriage between the two, but only explained: "This time I came to celebrate my birthday was an accident, and this congratulatory gift was not specially prepared. But in my own name...... I'm afraid that something is wrong, so it's better to send it in your name, after all, the Zeng family also knows about our marriage. ”

People are sophisticated or something, Wei Lai really doesn't have much contact, especially the exchanges between these high-ranking families, she is even more unclear. Since He Zhi said so, she seemed to believe it when she heard some truth, so she nodded and said no more.

The two of them just decided, turned their heads and saw Zeng Mohan coming in from outside, and coincidentally, the other party was also looking up, so each other's eyes met all of a sudden.

He Zhi's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled at Zeng Mohan as usual, showing her gentleness in her demeanor. Wei Lai also nodded at him slightly, obviously putting down the mustard after saying it. It's just that Zeng Mohan still felt a little embarrassed, and even paused when he stepped into the door, but after hesitating, he still raised his feet and walked over.

"Ah Zhi, General Wei, you are here." Despite his efforts to restrain his feelings, when facing Wei Lai and the two, Zeng Mohan's face still couldn't help but bring a little embarrassment.

He Zhi nodded slightly and smiled: "Today's Uncle Zeng's birthday, Mo Han is probably busy." ”

Seeing that He Zhi's attitude was really as usual, Zeng Mohan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the previous feeling of embarrassment was also slightly reduced. He looked around and smiled helplessly: "Yes, there are quite a lot of people here, and it is even more lively than when I was in the capital." ”

He Zhi heard the slight sarcasm and complexity in his words, but it was not easy to answer. Coincidentally, at this moment, today's birthday star Zeng Yuanzhi finally came to the front hall.

Today is Zeng Yuanzhi's fiftieth birthday, although it is not a big birthday, but after all, it is also every ten, and there are many people who come to celebrate his birthday. It's just that he doesn't seem to pay much attention to himself, and he only changes into new clothes, and he doesn't pay special attention to it. Zeng Yuwei, who was following him, deliberately changed into a festive red dress today, looking a little cute and cute.

As soon as Zeng Yuanzhi appeared, the people in the front hall who were originally gathered together to greet each other gathered around to congratulate him. As the protagonist of today, he naturally responded one by one with his hands arched, and the room was full of excitement for a while.

Seeing this, He Zhi and Wei Lai waited for a while, and only after the people surrounding Zeng Yuanzhi dispersed a little before they greeted them.

After all, he didn't have much friendship with the Zeng family, and he was even less familiar with Zeng Yuanzhi, so Wei Lai just said a few festive words at the beginning, and then silently retreated to the side as a background board. As for the polite words after that, it was naturally up to He Zhi to speak.

Politeness, greetings, greetings, the conversation between the people of the world is nothing more than that. When Zeng Yuanzhi and He Zhi had almost finished talking, Zeng Yuwei, who had been quiet for a long time, took over and said with a smile: "Sister He looks good today, but she finally rested yesterday?" ”

Looking at Zeng Yuwei's smile as close as usual, He Zhi really couldn't see what kind of thoughts she had. If everything she did before was for her brother, then Zeng Mohan obviously gave up and quit at this moment, what is she still doing with such an attitude? Or is there something else she wants to do with such an attitude?

However, if you can't see through it, you can't see through it, and the surface work is always indispensable. He Zhi still had a smile on her face, and replied: "I was tired from rushing before, and I was rarely free yesterday, so I naturally rested." Speaking of which, I also have to thank my great-uncle for his blessings. ”

Listen to such polite words, forget it, Zeng Yuwei's eyes turned slightly, and her eyes fell on Xi Qiu, who was behind the two opposite. Or more precisely, it should have fallen on the picture scroll in Xi Qiu's hand that he hadn't had time to send out: "Hey, Sister He, what the maid behind you is holding in her hand is the birthday gift that she is going to give to your uncle today?" ”

When He Zhi heard this, she looked back, only to find that Xi Qiu hadn't sent the painting yet. However, she didn't care too much, so she took it casually, turned around and handed the painting to Zeng Yuanzhi with a smile: "I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare anything." Just a heart, I hope my uncle will not be surprised. ”

Zeng Yuanzhi was a literati, and he was a literati who had never been short of money from a big family, and things like gold, silver, and money were worthless in his eyes. At this moment, when he saw the picture scroll sent by He Zhi, he didn't feel that he was being slighted, but took it with some joy, and then opened the picture scroll on the spot to see it.

The pine is tall and lifelike. The layout is ingenious, and the word longevity looms. Almost as soon as the scroll was opened, Zeng Yuanzhi liked it when he saw it for the first time, and even the smile on his face couldn't help but be a little real: "This is painted by Zhi'er, right?" Sure enough, the ingenuity is unique, the pen is good, and it is worthy of the name of your talented woman. ”

When the people next to him heard this, they didn't know He Zhi, and they hadn't seen the painting yet, so they had to say a few words of praise along with Zeng Yuanzhi's words at this moment. For a moment, the sound of admiration filled the hall.

Zeng Yuwei raised her eyebrows when she saw this, and was about to say something, but she heard He Zhi smile and said, "It's Uncle Zeng who praised it." This painting is just a thought of Wei Lai and me, as long as my uncle does not dislike it, it is an honor for both of us. ”

Others didn't know He Zhi, and when they heard it, they only regarded it as her humble words, but Zeng Yuanzhi and Zeng Yuwei understood the deep meaning of her words - she tied herself and Wei Lai together in front of everyone, and it was also a disguised declaration of the relationship between the two.

Zeng Yuanzhi was not surprised, but Zeng Yuwei's face changed slightly, and she only felt that looking at Wei Lai became more and more unpleasant.
