Xu Jinyu secretly doubted in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face, smiled and greeted everyone before she sat down with Ji Yu.

Ye Qiuyun was slightly inferior in the appearance competition, and he was angry and angry, so he decided to save face from other aspects: "Today's chrysanthemum banquet, they all brought famous chrysanthemums, I don't know if Miss Ji and Miss Xu brought flowers?" ”

Ji Yu was afraid that Xu Jinyu would regret it, so she hurriedly said, "I brought a pot of ink chrysanthemum." As he spoke, he glared at Ziyue warningly.

Be careful! If you hadn't picked up Mo Ju and something went wrong, you would have died today!

Ziyue trembled when she was stared, and her hands trembled. Fortunately, in early summer, she was quick and quickly stabilized for her. Otherwise, there is a chance that this pot of ink chrysanthemum will end up with Yaotai Yufeng

Ziyue settled down, and carefully stepped forward with Mo Ju for everyone to enjoy.

Ye Qiuyun glanced at Mo Ju casually, then covered his mouth and smiled: "This pot of Mo Ju is opening well." There are just a few pots of chrysanthemums in my flower room, and I just moved these pots and put them together for everyone to enjoy later. ”

It turns out that the chrysanthemums under the cloister in the courtyard are not the protagonists of today, and the real place to enjoy the chrysanthemums is in the flower room.

A maid with a double bun walked over, took the ink chrysanthemum in Ziyue's hand, and then sent it to the flower room.

Ye Qiuyun looked at Xu Jinyu with a smile: "Miss Ji brought Mo Ju, I don't know what Miss Xu brought?" Obviously seeing that the maid behind Xu Jinyu was empty, he wanted to ask knowingly, clearly wanting to embarrass Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu smiled calmly: "Don't hide it from Miss Ye, I brought a pot of Yaotai jade phoenix today. It's a pity that I accidentally broke it when I got out of the carriage. I had to come empty-handed. ”

Ye Qiuyun smiled pointedly: "It's okay to come empty-handed, but when the guests come to enjoy the chrysanthemums later." I'll get a small penalty for you. ”

What exactly will be punished and how will be punished, but it is not clear to say.

This is trying to dig a pit for her to jump!

Of course, Xu Jinyu would not be stupid, and said with a smile: "I am only a shallow learner, so Miss Ye should not embarrass me." ”

"How can this be considered a dilemma?" It was not Ye Qiuyun who opened her mouth, but Zuo Jiaoniang, who obviously helped Ye Qiuyun speak: "Sister Ye mentioned yì like this, also to make today's chrysanthemum banquet more lively." The so-called punishment. It's not too much to think about, at most it's a poem. ”

Without waiting for Xu Jinyu to speak, Zhao Hui took over the conversation with a smile: "Yes." It's a trivial matter, I don't think Miss Xu will object! ”

The two sang and harmonized, with a posture of not agreeing and not working.

Xu Jinyu replied lightly: "I didn't know that there were such rules for appreciating chrysanthemum banquets. If I had known in the morning, I should have politely refused. Don't come. ”

As soon as this statement came out. Zuo Jiaoniang and Zhao Hui looked stiff. As the owner, Ye Qiuyun's face didn't look good.

This Xu Jinyu spoke so hard and sharp, without any face.

Those who are qualified to sit here are all first-class family backgrounds. Xu Jinyu is just the daughter of a five-rank official, her father died early, and now she lives in the Weining Hou Mansion. How dare she talk to them like that?!

Xu Jinyu changed her tone at this time, and sighed softly: "I am originally from Lin'an. Because his brother wanted to participate in the Autumn Festival, he went to the capital with him to join his aunt. There are a lot of famous chrysanthemums planted in the Hou Mansion. I borrowed a pot to save my face, thinking that when the banquet was over, I would bring the pot back to my aunt. Unexpectedly, the flowers were broken at the door of the Ye Mansion. Although my aunt is kind and will not care about these things with me, I really don't want to go in my heart. I knew it would be like this, I really shouldn't have come. ”

is self-blame and apology, who is embarrassed to insist on "punishing" her?

It's so good at acting and so cunning!

Ye Qiuyun thought hatefully in her heart, but she had to squeeze out a smile on her face: "I didn't expect Miss Xu to have such a hardship, it was all because I didn't think about it thoroughly, and I shouldn't talk casually, which made Miss Xu sad." This punishment is to be stopped. ”

If Xu Jinyu really brushed his sleeves away in a fit of anger, today's chrysanthemum banquet would have become a joke.

Xu Jinyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and thanked politely.

In the second round of verbal confrontation, Xu Jinyu won easily!

With this episode, no one dared to underestimate Xu Jinyu anymore, Zuo Jiaoniang and Zhao Hui were bored, their expressions were a little stupid, and they all stopped talking.

After a while, the guests arrived one by one.

One of the girls caught Xu Jinyu's attention.

This girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was born with white and delicate skin, gentle and gentle, and a bookish air. Although it is not particularly beautiful, it has its own moving charm.

The girl's name is Cao Ying, and she is the pearl of the palm of the country's eunuch Cao.

After Cao Ying sat down, she seemed to notice Xu Jinyu's gaze and smiled at Xu Jinyu. The eyes are soft and clear, and people can immediately feel good.

Xu Jinyu also smiled politely back. The two were separated by a distance, and it was inconvenient to talk, so they could only smile and nod.

Roughly counting, there are about eleven or twelve girls who come to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet. Everyone brought the maid who was waiting, and the main hall was full of people, and it was quite lively when you said something to me.

Ji Yu glanced around, but didn't see Chen Lingxue's figure, and couldn't help asking, "Miss Ye, is Cousin Chen here today?" ”

Ye Qiuyun said with a smile: "Cousin Ling Xue, I wanted to invite her, and she promised to come at that time. It's probably because something is delayed, so it will come late. Maybe we've arrived at the door of the Ye Mansion now."

As soon as the words fell, I heard the maid come in and report: "Miss Chen Si is here." ”

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Ye Qiuyun pursed her lips and smiled, and got up to greet him. Unexpectedly, it was not only Chen Lingxue who appeared at the door, but also a handsome and hearty young man.

Chen Yuanqing!

How did he get here?

Xu Jinyu was stunned and subconsciously looked over. Roughly calculated, she and Chen Yuanqing haven't seen each other for two months. Now looking at that familiar handsome face, it is a little unfamiliar

Chen Yuanqing didn't look a little rusty, the moment he saw Xu Jinyu. The dark eyes suddenly lit up, overflowing with smiles. In this smile, there is a little less subtle admiration in the past. It's just the joy of seeing her.

"Cousin Yuanqing. I didn't post to you, why are you here today? Ye Qiuyun said half-jokingly: "The chrysanthemum banquet I held today, the people invited are all famous ladies, it's not appropriate for you to mix!" ”

Chen Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I have been reviewing books every day recently, and I am dizzy and tired from reading. Please forgive my cousin! ”

said. Grinning and clenching fists.

caused the girls to cover their mouths and chuckle.

Same-sex repels opposite-sex attracts, and the girls originally competed secretly with their own thoughts, but now there is a cute boy who loves to laugh. But they are a lot more reserved.

Ye Qiuyun couldn't help laughing: "That's it, you're here, I can't let you go." ”

However, so many boudoir daughters. There is only one man, Chen Yuanqing. It's not quite appropriate either. Ye Qiuyun thought about it, turned his head and instructed the personal maid: "You go and call the sixth brother over, just say that Cousin Chen is here, and ask the sixth brother to accompany you." ”

There are eight brothers in the Ye family's generation, and the sixth one is called Ye Ling, who is a three-room family, only two months younger than Ye Qiuyun.

The maid took the order and hurried away.

Soon, Ye Ling came.

The children and grandchildren of the Ye family are all born with good looks. Ye Ling is no exception. The sixteen-year-old boy has good facial features, is handsome, polite, and quite appealing. Ye Ling and Chen Yuanqing are very familiar. I didn't pay attention to any hypocrisy when I met, I smiled and patted each other on the shoulder, and I was very affectionate.

The girls present seemed to be reserved, but in fact, they were secretly looking at the two teenagers. Xu Jinyu didn't hesitate much, and glanced at Ye Ling generously.

This Ye Ling is actually a little similar to his brother Xu Zheng. This similarity does not refer to appearance, but to similarity in temperament and conversation. Of course, Xu Zheng is excellent, and Ye Ling is much inferior to Xu Zhenglai.

Ye Qiuyun has been paying attention to Xu Jinyu's every move. At this time, seeing that she was paying special attention to Ye Ling, she was inexplicably annoyed in her heart.

She already has Yuan Zhao's cousin, ah, Yuan Zhao's cousin is not Xu Jinyu's. However, doesn't Xu Jinyu like Cousin Yuan Zhao? How can you face Qin and Chu at dusk and four times?

Of course, Ye Ling also noticed Xu Jinyu.

Among a bunch of girls, the one with the most outstanding appearance and temperament makes it impossible for people not to pay attention to it. What's more, that girl also looked at him one more time, she had a good impression of him?

Ye Ling secretly rejoiced in his heart. It's a pity that I don't know who the girl's name is. Fortunately, I will go to the flower room to enjoy the chrysanthemums later, and I can create an opportunity to talk to the beautiful woman

All the people are there.

Ye Qiuyun cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Please come with me to the flower room to enjoy the chrysanthemums." After a pause, he smiled and said: "Most of the chrysanthemums in the flower room are from our house, and some of them are brought by the sisters who came today." Since you want to appreciate the chrysanthemum, you naturally want to judge the leader. When you enjoy the flowers, you have to keep your eyes open and write down your favorite pot. In the end, everyone voted together to choose the best pot of chrysanthemums. Those who are selected can pick a pot of chrysanthemums to take away when they leave. ”

No one objected to such an elegant thing, and they all responded with a smile.

Everyone followed Ye Qiuyun out of the courtyard together.

The flower house is located in the garden. It is made of trees and is surrounded by many vines. From a distance, green vines crawl all over the trunk of the tree, and pink or purple flowers bloom among the vines, which are not precious and rare flowers, but they are pleasing to the eye.

The flower room is about five meters wide and more than ten meters long, which is more than enough to accommodate more than a dozen people. Walking into it, a burst of floral fragrance will rush to you. There are many potted chrysanthemums scattered in the flower room. At a glance, there are no less than hundreds of pots. The posture is different, and the beauty is boundless.

Everyone almost unanimously admired, and soon dispersed, admiring the chrysanthemums with great interest.

Every house has a garden, and flowers and trees are indispensable in the garden. It's really rare to have such a big flower house like Ye Mansion. There are all kinds of chrysanthemums in this flower room, and probably all the chrysanthemum varieties are included. Those who look are dazzled.

Ye Qiuyun listened to everyone's admiration, and was secretly complacent, and glanced at Xu Jinyu proudly.

It's a pity that Xu Jinyu didn't look at Ye Qiuyun at all, and she didn't care about her being in the limelight.

Ye Qiuyun felt a little heavy punch but hit the soft cotton-like feeling, and he became more and more angry in his heart, and secretly vowed that he must make Xu Jinyu "look good" today.

Ji Yu glanced at a few pots of ink chrysanthemums, and happily pulled Xu Jinyu to enjoy them. At this look, Ji Yu was suddenly deflated.

Originally, I thought that the pot of ink chrysanthemum I brought was good enough, but now that I look at it, a few pots of ink chrysanthemum in this flower room can be picked out at random, and it is better than what they brought. No wonder when Ziyue took out the ink chrysanthemum before, Ye Qiuyun's eyes were full of ridicule

"This Zhou Yong, it's really useless, even Mo Ju can't take care of it." Ji Yu was not happy in her heart, and immediately turned her anger on Zhou Yong: "After I go back, I will reprimand him severely." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled dumbly, and said with a smile at Ji Yu's words: "Yes, yes, not only to reprimand Zhou Yong, but also to instruct a few florists to build a flower room together, it must be bigger and more beautiful than this flower room, not only chrysanthemums should be placed in it, it is best to have all kinds of flowers." In short, it is necessary to overcome this flower house. ”

Ji Yu's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "Cousin Jin, the construction you mentioned is too good." How I didn't expect that! I'll give them a command when I get back today. ”

Xu Jinyu: ""

She deliberately ridiculed just now, how could Ji Yu still take it seriously!

"Cousin Yu, cousin Jin," a familiar voice sounded behind him: "It's been a long time, don't come unharmed?" ”

When Ji Yu heard this voice, her heart instantly burst into joy, and she turned around with a sweet smile: "Cousin Yuanqing, we haven't seen each other for some days." We're all good, but you, you look a little thinner than before. ”

After Chen Yuanqing fell seriously ill, although he quickly recovered his health, he was injured in the end, and his face was a little thinner than before.

Xu Jinyu also turned around and called out softly to Cousin Yuanqing. Chen Yuanqing also looked over. The eyes of the two touched slightly in the air, and they quickly looked away.

Some people are destined to miss out. Even if there is no fate, they can only secretly feel nostalgic and sigh for themselves.

After a short moment of distraction, Chen Yuanqing quickly cheered up and smiled: "I'll accompany you to enjoy the chrysanthemums." He came to Ye's house with a cheeky face, of course, not only to enjoy the chrysanthemums, but also to have an important "mission".

Without waiting for Xu Jinyu to open her mouth to speak, Ji Yu was already full of joy and responded: "That's great." Cousin Yuanqing, come and see these pots of ink chrysanthemum, the color of each pot is different."

It's noisy!

Chen Yuanqing was impatient in his heart, and nodded perfunctorily. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ye Lingzheng smiling and greeting Xu Jinyu, and Chen Yuanqing suddenly became angry in his heart.

Ye Liu, you dare to pry into the corner of my second brother! (To be continued......)
