Chapter 109: The Xia Family's Birthday Banquet (2)
"She is Li Yashu, she is ...... The daughter of the second room of the family. Li Muyun whispered in Xiao Ruo's ear, his voice slightly hesitant.
Two bedrooms in this family?
Xiao Ruo's heart was shocked, a few days ago, he was thinking about how to teach these people a lesson, and someone sent it to the door at this time? But looking at this woman's gaze, why does it seem familiar?
Looking at Li Xiaoning sideways, Xiao Ruo suddenly realized that she had seen this kind of gaze countless times, no wonder it felt familiar.
Who recruited it this time? Xiao Ruo rolled his eyes in his heart, could it still be Li Muyun? She glanced at the people around her dangerously, which made Li Muyun inexplicable. Then she came back to her that this guy and this woman seemed to be related, and the ...... she had just mentioned Looks like Xia Guoqiang?
It's really a disaster, there's nothing good between the two of them at all, right? Except for that ridiculous engagement contract.
There were a lot of thoughts in his heart, but Xiao Ruo's reaction was not slow, with a just right smirk on his face, he nodded at Li Yashu and said, "Hello Li Xiu, it's a pity that I don't know a beauty like Li Xiu."
Li Yashu is as her name suggests, and her bookish atmosphere is very strong, but unlike Helian Ruxi's tranquility, she seems more atmospheric, showing a good upbringing between her gestures, the so-called lady show, it is estimated that this is the case. But what she said just now was very gunpowder.
Realizing his gaffe, Li Yashu stabilized his senses, regained his composure, said hello to Yang Shide, and nodded to Li Muyun with a slightly indifferent expression by the way, and finally turned to Xiao Ruo: "In front of Xiao Xiu, I don't dare to call myself a beauty, or Muyun will be the first to disagree."
When she mentioned Li Muyun, her tone was obviously a little strange, some disapproving or disdainful, but she just hid it well, but when facing a woman like a "love rival". Xiao Ruo was used to turning on the "real induction" to a great extent, so he heard it immediately.
secretly gave Li Muyun a look, motioned him to go back and talk about it, Li Muyun immediately understood after receiving it, and gave her a wry smile, which made her feel strange in her heart at the same time, but also a little weird, when did they get so tacit?
It's actually very comfortable to talk to Li Yashu. She has a strong ability to observe words and feelings, although Xiao Ruo's expression has always been perfect, so she has no choice but to play Tai Chi with her. However, she did not forget Yang Shide and Li Muyun, especially Yang Shide, he didn't know much about the events of the year, so he obviously showed a good impression of Li Yashu.
Li Xiaoning next to her looked at Li Yashu with a look of admiration, this sister of the family is her idol.
The few people actually didn't talk for a long time, and it didn't take long for Yang Xinghong's car to come over. So Li Yashu and Li Xiaoning said goodbye to Xiao Ruo and the others, of course, the latter was very reluctant.
"Mu Yun. You'd better go over to your house, it doesn't seem appropriate to follow me, others will gossip. Seeing Li Yashu and the two leave, and when they followed them to the parking passage, Xiao Ruo pulled Li Muyun and whispered to him.
Li Muyun was stunned for a moment, and then realized. Xiao Ruo seems to be thinking about him? Suddenly excited, he tightened her to his side, and then said, "You don't have to worry." Anyway, everyone knows my identity, and I'm not a person who follows the rules. And ......"
He smiled evilly and leaned close to Xiao Ruo's ear: "If you are afraid that others will say that I am afraid of my wife?" You really care about me. But they just say it's true. ”
As soon as the words fell, the familiar pain in her waist came, Li Muyun looked at Xiao Ruo and smiled as if she didn't feel anything at all, she was embarrassed at first, put down her hand, snorted and turned her head away.
"Ruoruo! Mom wants to kill you!"
Seeing Yang Bing coming, Li Muyun let go of Xiao Ruo with interest, and sure enough, as soon as he let go, he saw his mother-in-law rushing over and holding Xiao Ruo in his arms, and he let go for a while.
"Mom, we only met three days ago, right?" Although Xiao Ruo enjoyed the warmth of this family affection, she still couldn't bear Yang Bing's enthusiasm. After so long, she still seems to be afraid that she will disappear again as when she first saw her.
After Yang Bing let go of Xiao Ruo, he still held her hand, and his face was happy: "You girl, don't you know that if you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn?" And Mom has done a big thing in the past few days, and I'll tell you when I go back. ”
Seeing that she was so happy, and there was still a bit of happiness in her tone, Xiao Ruo became curious. But how to listen to and feel awkward if you don't see anything for a day, how good does this mood have to be for the quiet Yang Bing to say something that doesn't fit the scene?
"Okay, okay, Bing'er, you see Ruoruo, let's go in quickly, it's not good for so many people to block the way here." Han Qi stepped forward to persuade.
"Grandma is right, Mom, let's go in first." Although Xiao Ruo was curious, this was not the place to speak, so he helped to calm Yang Bing, who was obviously overexcited.
"Okay, okay." Yang Bing is daughter control, Xiao Ruo said that she nodded, took her daughter's hand and was about to walk forward, as if she had just seen Li Muyun, and did not forget to care: "Muyun is better, right?"
Li Muyun watched her mother-in-law ignore her and take Xiao Ruo away, and she was very helpless. Later, when I heard her question, I hurriedly replied: "It's all right, Aunt Yang doesn't have to worry."
"You, don't always be brave and ruthless in the future, you can be regarded as a family person, pay attention in the future."
After Yang Bing finished speaking, he turned his head to talk to Xiao Ruo, not noticing Li's expression of excitement because of her "family".
Xiao Ruo first stopped Yang Bing, who was about to talk to him, and greeted Yang Xinghong and the others one by one, before following Old Man Yang and Han Qi to follow the guide inside.
The Xia family's mansion is somewhat similar to the Xiao family's old mansion, but the Xiao family has been civil officials for generations, and the mansion is more elegant, while the Xia family is very strong in military and political affairs, and the ancestors of the Xia family in the capital are the descendants of the Xia Dynasty, the oldest dynasty in China, so there is a trace of imperial spirit in the bones, and the whole mansion is very atmospheric. Although you can occasionally see some pavilions or corridors with the style of Jiangnan, the overall architectural style is still northern.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I arrived at the place where the birthday banquet was held, and the plaque at the gate of the courtyard was inscribed with the word "Summer Garden", and it was an open field to enter. The garden is really not small, and there are already many people in it, and they are already late.
The birthday banquet of the old man of the Xia family, of course, was the earliest to come, of course, the people of the Xia family, and Yang Xinghong's level must be the last, and it was definitely in order. Because Xiao Ruo didn't see Xiao Wangshan inside, the rest of the core bosses didn't see it either.
After greeting a few people who arrived first, Yang Xinghong led a large group of people inside.
"Old Xia, you are really old and strong, this style is better than usual, could it be that people are in good spirits on happy occasions?" Yang Xinghong said a few rare words, which made Xiao Ruo extremely suspicious that this was a draft that Han Qi had prepared a long time ago.
"Haha, Lao Yang, you really didn't come early, don't blame my old man for punishing you for drinking when the time comes." Xia Guoqiang's grandfather Xia Hesong is of medium height, and his appearance is not good, but he can stand there in the depths of the mountains, with the demeanor of a grandmaster.
Xiao Ruo, who had left Anthony and Bai Ze outside, shrank her pupils, this was the first super-level grandmaster she had seen when she returned to China. Moreover, one Xia Lao and one Lao Yang, the title explains the identity.
"I can't ask for that." Yang Xinghong revealed his original form in just two sentences.
Xia Hesong laughed: "Lao Yang, you are still like this, what you said just now made me think that you have changed."
Yang Xinghong scratched his head embarrassedly: "Old Xia said it was funny, don't you know what kind of character Old Yang has?"
Xia Hesong smiled and nodded, looked past Yang Xinghong and looked behind him, paused for a moment on Xiao Ruo, and then said, "Old Yang, you dragged your family to my old man, don't you want to make me poor, right?"
"Where, Xia Lao's birthday, they are all juniors, and they should come to congratulate." Yang Xinghong waved his hand, "Don't you give Xia Lao a salute?"
When the people behind him heard it, they bent down and saluted Xia Hesong, and said the words of congratulations on his birthday.
"Well, Lao Yang, your sons and daughters are good, and your grandson's generation is also very good, my old man is very envious. By the way, I heard that your granddaughter has found it, is it with you today, or with Lao Xiao?"
"Bing'er is in pain, and I wish I could be by my side every day, so Ruoruo came with us today. Ruoruo, come over and let your Grandpa Xia take a look. Han Qi grabbed Yang Xinghong, who wanted to speak, smiled and said to Xia Hesong, and then beckoned Xiao Ruo to come over.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ruo walked through several cousins and Yang Huaisheng and his wife in front, came to the front, and bowed to Xia Hesong, with a respectful tone: "Old Xia."
Xia Hesong's eyes lit up, this bearing, such a look, and a little pressure he faintly felt, alas, there is no blessing for Guoqiang.
"Good, good. Your name is Ruoruo? What a good boy, I've heard a little bit about you, and I have to thank you. ”
Xiao Ruo also understood that what he didn't say should be the matter of desert plants.
"Old Xia said with a smile, where is that little thing worthy of your personal thanks, it is all I should do." Anyone can say anything about the scene, and she is already very proficient in this.
"Well, that's a good boy." An old woman walked out behind Xia Hesong, looking at Xiao Ruoxiao's kindness, her eyes were full of satisfaction, "Sit with me later." I like you kid when I see it. ”
Xiao Ruo was stunned, what is this? hurriedly excused himself and said: "The old lady's kindness Xiao Ruoxin has received it, but this is not in accordance with the rules."
"What's the rule?" The old woman crossed Xia Hesong and came to Xiao Ruo, took her hand and led her to one of the side halls, "It's just a birthday." I've heard of you with my grandmother, but I'm very curious. ”
Xiao Ruo was very helpless, his eyes turned to his grandmother and mother as if asking for help, Han Qi frowned slightly, spread out for a moment, and walked forward with a smile: "Old Zhou, if she has a cold temperament and can't speak, it is better for us to go over together, there are more people, it will be more lively."
The old lady surnamed Zhou didn't object, but still pulled Xiao Ruo and walked to the side hall next to her. Li Muyun wanted to follow, but he stopped after walking half a step, it was really inappropriate for him to go.
Standing helplessly, listening to Yang Xinghong and Xia Hesong's politeness, Li Muyun saw Xia Guoqiang coming over after a while.
