The gossip at the dinner table became more and more lively, and in the end, even Xia Xiaodong and Zhang Wenjuan said a few words, anyway, anyone can beat the side drum.

When I finished my dinner and went downstairs, I saw that the scene had changed again. The exquisite bamboo sheds around have been demolished and replaced with open-air tea seats, all of which are extremely exquisite rattan tables and rattan chairs, where three or five confidants and friends can sit and drink tea.

Starting from the tea house, a dazzling lantern stretches out, and a half-foot-long bamboo slip hangs under the lamp, on which are written numbers on one side and lantern riddles on the other. Every other way, there will be a puzzle solving case, and the numbers and puzzles will be reported in the past, and if you guess correctly, you can get a prize.

"Oh, let's go guess the riddle." Miss Qin Si pulled Xia Xiaodong and was about to go forward.

Xia Xiaodong inevitably followed a few steps, but the sleeve on the other side was pulled.

Lu Yunzhi didn't know when he came over, grabbed the two of them, and said with a smile: "Now is the time when there are many people, why bother to go over and join in the fun." Beware of someone with bad intentions who pulls your earrings! ”

Xia Xiaodong listened to her laugh and didn't feel embarrassed. However, what Lu Yunzhi said was the truth, as with all similar activities, there were the most people at the beginning, and many people were crowded at the beginning of the entrance, and at this time, there was a greater chance of being trampled off.

"By the way, I don't understand it very well," Xia Xiaodong turned his head and asked, "Why are there so many more male guests than female guests?" ”

This question came up at noon, and there were obviously more seats for the male guests than for the female guests, which looked a little weird.

Due to some strange rules, there always seem to be more girls than boys in everyone, and on the way to grow up, boys will always have some strange accidents and some rare diseases. There are always more ups and downs than girls, so when you reach the age when you can go out, it is normal for girls to have more girls than boys.

"Oh. Now it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the new year is spring. Many people will come to the capital in advance. Mix familiar faces everywhere and contribute a poetry article. Lu Yunzhi led Xia Xiaodong and Qin Si to find a remote place to sit, took out a bag of tea from his sleeve, and instructed the maid next to him to light a small stove to boil water.

The maid who followed Lu Yunzhi was obviously proficient in the art of tea, one end lit the stove to boil water, the other took out the tea leaves and put them in the pot, and then watched the head surround the three teacups around the teapot. The movements are stretched and casual, and the sound of porcelain collision is almost not heard.

Lu Yunzhi watched the maid do it, and continued: "These scholars who are preparing for the exam, since they have arrived in the capital, of course they also want to see the Lu family's garden party. But whoever has a way to come with a good friend, so there are naturally more male guests. ”

I see. Xia Xiaodong looked carefully, and sure enough, there were not a few characters who shook their heads over there and looked like merry and talented.

Xia Xiaodong is looking at others here, but she doesn't know that there are also people looking at her.

……

……

Because they had just had dinner, the three girls just drank tea and talked. Didn't eat snacks.

A day passed, and a few interesting things happened in the Garden of Tired Thoughts. Falling into the water is a proper meaning, and it is just a routine. The mothers-in-law guarding the water's edge are busy. There are also a few pieces that are beaten in one place, which is not very sensational.

The most eye-catching, it is said that the Nine Emperors made a big battle in the chrysanthemum garden, used precious chrysanthemums to pose the four words "the hand of the son", and paved the road with colorful stones, and proposed to the eldest granddaughter of Lord Shoufu.

In comparison, Ning Junwu's small dedication to Xia Xiaodong was compared to him. And the result is also very different, it is said that Jiang Yizhen, the eldest granddaughter of the first assistant Jiang Fengshi. On the spot, Fang Yanran smiled and agreed.

Another good story was born.

However, according to Miss Qin Si, an 'insider'. In fact, this matter has already been agreed by Lord Shousuke, and today it is just the Nine Emperors pretending to make such a high-profile play. One is to give his future wife a long face, anyway, he is a prince, no matter how powerful his wife's face is, he can't overpower the royal family.

The second is to let everyone know that the Nine Emperor Princes now have the support of the first assistant, and maybe there is a force to the emperor, hoping to make the biological mother of the Nine Emperor Princes as the imperial concubine.

The fourth girl of Qin said smoothly, Xia Xiaodong was certainly interesting to listen to, even Lu Yunzhi listened to it, and he didn't pay attention to it, and three more people came to the front.

"Sister Yunzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time." A man suddenly raised the fan in his hand and came over to say hello.

Lu Yunzhi turned his head and looked stunned, before he got up and smiled: "It turned out to be Cousin Fa, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Listening to the title seems to be a relative, but the attitude is not close.

This is a distant relative.

This brother has a white face that is a bit of the Lu family's tradition, and his eyes are slender and long, and he doesn't look annoying. At this time, he beckoned the two people behind him to come over and sat down together.

Generally speaking, this kind of style should be intentional to one of the three girls of Lu, Xia, and Qin, so that they will be so cheeky.

However, Xia Xiaodong observed coldly, but he didn't see the clues. Looking left and right, it seems that he is really a distant cousin who has not been seen for a long time, and he has just come to cheer for a little more heat.

Partial branches to this branch, common similar attitudes. However, this cousin, who was later introduced as Lu Xingfa, didn't go to the Lu family's man to set up, but came to Lu Yunzhi, which was a little weird.

Xia Xiaodong only regarded it as the Lu family's family affair and didn't take it to heart.

followed by Lu Xing, but there were two examiners, one named Zhang Shipu and the other named Li Ziqi. These two lifters were not brought by Lu Xingfa to the Garden of Tired Thoughts, but they only met later.

Originally, I thought that there were a few men, and it was not good to continue the previous gossip topic, Qin Si girl was a little flat-mouthed, but soon found that there were more people, and there were actually more topics. Moreover, these newcomers are both well-informed and funny, and everyone talks more happily.

Xia Xiaodong already has all kinds of legends about his heart, so he just listens to it with his heart, and nods from time to time.

"The harvest of silkworms in spring this year is good, and Jiangbei has an interesting thing because of this." Zhang Shipu smiled and told an interesting story about the market.

It was a silkworm farmer who sold silkworm cocoons and had money in his hand, and the man of that family was coaxed to the flower boat.

If you just go to the flower boat and have fun with the girls, who knows that there is a gambling game on the flower boat, and after three coaxes and two persuasions, the man will go to the gambling table again.

"Nine out of ten bets and nine losses, presumably that kid lost quite badly." Li Ziqi said with a smile on the side.

Although Zhang Shipu and Li Ziqi came together, in front of girls, no matter what age the men are, whether they are married or not, they will inevitably have some sense of competition.

What's more, the beginning of the story that Zhang Shipu said was inevitably bland, and it was so common that it couldn't be more common.

"Brother Li Shi don't be impatient, the interesting part of this matter is behind." Zhang Shipu said with a smile.
