Chapter 44: Invitation

"When Mrs. Nawei left, she said that she lived at No. 75 South Third Street......"

Zhang Lao looked at the tightly locked door in front of him and frowned slightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, the little lady left and turned back, her face was a little hesitant but she said her address very seriously, which didn't look like a deliberate joke.

"Why don't I look it up?"

Lao Peng was slightly shorter, with a bit of gloom in his eyes, since He Yi came, Wei Yuan's words have been tightly wrapped in his heart.

You're not supposed to be like this.

"Forget it, since you didn't have a chance...... She didn't say anything clearly, maybe I was thinking too much. ”

Zhang Lao's eyes were fixed on the rusty copper lock for a few seconds, paused, shook his head slightly, and then smiled dumbly, such a haste is not his character.

If you really care, it's messy.

"Yes."

Lao Peng lowered his head, but his eyes seemed to fall on the dusty steps inadvertently.

"Lao Peng, that lady also said that your life shouldn't be like this, why don't we go to Xiangmen to find an old man?"

After a pause, Zhang Lao remembered that he was not the only one who was faced, and turned his head to look at Lao Peng, his eyes were a little annoyed, how could he ignore this matter.

Lao Peng smiled and shook his head: "It's just a little lady who can speak." ”

Zhang Lao also nodded approvingly, his expression became more relaxed, indeed, it was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

"Let's go directly to the chess stall today, this kind of idle life won't last for two days."

Zhang Lao's face was filled with a little smile, and he was in and out of the picture, which was almost every official's dream.

I didn't expect him to reach this age, he has been old for three years, and he can still take that step.

"Yes, the master is busy now, and when the time comes, transfer the young master back......"

Lao Peng nodded, he was also sincerely happy for Zhang Lao, and the last few words were said almost subconsciously, and he stopped halfway through speaking.

Zhang Lao's face was a little bad.

The Zhang family has few heirs, and Zhang Lao has only one son, but when he said goodbye three years ago, he was transferred to the west by his former old rival with a piece of paper.

I heard that the place was extremely desolate, full of yellow sand, and that the wizards there all did things according to their hearts, and if they did not do well, they would take people's lives.

The wizard of the West, that is, the warlock as everyone calls it.

His poor son!

I don't know how I survived in that kind of place.

Fortunately, fortunately, he asked for the emperor's favor and left his grandson by his side.

"Then Liu Shuhua is also deeply rooted in the emperor's heart now, and he has good contacts with many people in the court, I just returned to the court, and I shouldn't be able to ...... him now."

When Zhang Lao mentioned Liu Shuhua, his face was a little more disgusted.

When he was the crown prince, he hated Liu Shuhua for often messing around with the emperor's temperament, so he scolded him for this, but he didn't expect him to be jealous!

In the year when he said goodbye, he didn't know what to say to the emperor, so he forcibly transferred his only son to the west.

It's disgusting!

"After all, the master is the prince and the prince, so Liu Shuhua is just one...... The emperor will eventually transfer the young master back in the face of the master. ”

Zhang Lao smiled, with a little more expectation in his eyes, and finally be able to reunite as a family.

***

Wei Yuan's favorite thing now is the old pomegranate tree in the yard.

Put a small table, and chat with the old man in the jaw of the pomegranate tree every afternoon, and kill a few dishes by the way.

Ever since he met Old Man Bi, a stinky chess basket with an unusual fanaticism for Go, Wei Yuan felt that he was simply a master among the masters who could memorize the remnants.

"Old man Bi, you lost again."

Wei Yuan dropped lightly, with a strange smile on her face, this was the seventh set she had won today.

"No, no, no!" Old man Bi saw that he had been eaten a large piece of chessboard, and directly stretched out his hand to disturb the chessboard, "I didn't see this place, it doesn't count!" ”

Wei Yuan had long been accustomed to Old Man Bi's style, shrugged his shoulders and put away the chess pieces: "If you do this again, I won't play chess with you next time!" ”

"Qi," Old Man Bi sneered disdainfully, "Who else can you play chess with besides me?" Who else can you win in this yard but me? ”

Old man Bi was still a little self-aware of his chess skills, and when he saw Wei Yuan like this, he immediately smiled like a hickory.

"Lady, this is an invitation from the prefect."

Ah Xun entered the courtyard and strangely handed Wei Yuan a beautifully made invitation post, which was not signed, but only wrote that Wei Yuan should participate in a flower appreciation banquet.

"With the prefect?" Wei Yuan strangely picked up the invitation card and looked at it, his other hand was still cleaning up the chessboard, "We don't seem to know anyone in Yangzhou, right?" ”

Seeing Ah Xun shaking his head, Wei Yuan put the invitation aside and said with a smile: "It should be sent by mistake, with the prefect?" When I came to Yangzhou, I saw Zhang Hansheng, the highest status. ”

Wei Yuan joked, Ah Xun frowned, and disagreed with Wei Yuan's words: "Lady, you are the eldest daughter of the Wei family, and your mother's family is the Chen family, your identity is ......."

They didn't deliberately hide these things, so almost everyone in this courtyard knew about it, but they didn't say what status Wei Yuan's biological mother had in the Chen family.

Those who understand can think of it in a few words, and those who don't understand it naturally don't think much about it.

"Alright, alright, I got it." Wei Yuan interrupted Ah Xun's words, his eyes drifting over the invitation post, "It should have been given to the people who lived here before, right?" ”

"Lady," Ah Xun smiled dumbly, "what do you think those mothers-in-law and little servants do, they are the same prefect, if they couldn't even find out the people who live here, then they would have been kicked out by the master's family a long time ago." ”

Old man Bi glanced at the invitation card curiously, and sighed: "That's good, it's been melted into Yangzhou's flower-viewing banquet so quickly, and I heard that only some famous ladies are invited." ”

"Really?"

Wei Yuan picked up the invitation again, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "Only a noble girl can go?" Looking at it this way, it is estimated that it may really be sent by mistake. ”

"The wife of the same prefect is also from the Chen family, maybe she is related to you."

Old man Bi slowly put down the chess pieces, and unexpectedly highlighted another sentence.

Wei Yuan paused slightly, and glanced at Old Man Bi up and down: "You know a lot, you only invite famous ladies to the flower appreciation banquet, and you also know that Mrs. Tongzhifu is the Chen family, tsk, so capable, I cried and said that I was alone......"

"These are common sense, but anyone who has been in Yangzhou for a period of time knows it, besides, you don't suffer a loss if you eat a bite of old man! I can talk, I can talk about books, I can talk about faces, and I can play Go with you......"

As he spoke, Old Man Bi began to sigh what a perfect person he was.

"This flower-viewing banquet is not bad."

After sighing, the old man commented again, as if he remembered something, and his face was full of aftertaste.

The idler Xiaoliu said

I watched the movie "Tunnel" today, and I was a little late, but it was really good-looking, so I recommend it to everyone.
