The spring night urged Lin Xi to go quickly.

Lin Xi glanced at her and said slowly: "It's too late to show my importance." ”

Xia Feng covered his mouth and smiled: "The girl is really good at laughing." Today's Houfu family banquet, for the girl to pick up the wind and wash the dust, if the girl is late, wouldn't it be a joke. ”

Lin Xi smiled: "I have the support of the Hou Ye, who dares to laugh at me." That being said, the pace of his feet quickened.

The family banquet was set up in the water pavilion in the northeast corner of Zixia Lake, and Lin Xi entered the pavilion, only to see two bamboo cases placed outside the railing, one with cups and chopsticks and wine utensils, and the other with various tea sets such as tea whisks.

There are two mahogany round tables in the pavilion, and the four hexagonal high tables on the side of the table are full of various melons and fruits. In the corner, there are several pots of ice cubes. Everyone in the Hou Mansion was already seated, waiting for her, who was late.

Lin Xi smiled, was led by his mother-in-law, and sat on the edge of the Xiaoyao Mansion.

Lin Xi looked around and saw that there were still two vacancies on the table, and there was someone who was later than her. Zhenghu was suspicious, but saw a pair of men and women, hurriedly entering the water pavilion.

Lin Xi saw that these two people were angry, and was speculating about who they were, but he heard Qian Shi say coldly: "People from Yifu, just wait for the two of you, go out early next time." ”

As soon as Lin Xi heard Qian speak like this, he knew that the couple must be the second master and his wife, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

But I saw that Li was tall and slender in his early twenties, with a graceful demeanor, and only a pair of gloomy eyes, which made people dislike.

The second grandmother, Jiang, whose name is Bo Jing, is quite beautiful, but her body is slightly thinner.

Jiang lowered his head and said, "It's not a daughter-in-law, lord, forgive me." ”

Qian was about to say more, but Hou Ye coughed lightly. "Sit down." Xi'er, this is your second uncle and second aunt, you go and salute. ”

Lin Xi got up and walked to the two of them, and was deeply blessed: "Second uncle, second uncle and mother are good." ”

The couple glanced at Lin Xi deeply, and said a few polite cold words, letting Lin Xi sit down.

For a while, the people are complete. Servant girl. The mother-in-law began to serve the food, poured wine, and more than 20 dishes were spread out on the table. It looks very good.

Lin Xi had eaten with so many people for the first time, and he was afraid of being foreign, so he secretly watched the every move of everyone in the Hou Mansion, although it was not as strict as the rules of the Gao Mansion. But it also has its own charter, and it is boring in my heart.

The world is silent. Sleep is silent, but this rule is just a decoration in the Lin family. Dad puts on his face on weekdays, but when it comes to dinner, he always likes to talk and laugh with them. Over time, the Lin family's dinner table was very lively.

The Lin family's usual three meals a day. Lin Nan is in charge, although there is not much skill to speak of. It is better to be attentive, and when you eat it, you will feel delicious. If Lin Bei is in a good mood one day and goes down to the kitchen to show his cooking skills, on the table that day, you will compete for me, and there will be joy.

Youdao has never eaten pork, and has you never seen a pig run?

When Lin Xi was waiting for his master to eat in the Gao Mansion, he knew the rules of the dining table very well, and he had three months of experience in the palace, so he was familiar with imitation.

Lin Xi's appearance fell in Li Yingjie's eyes, and he sighed in his heart. In the end, it is her granddaughter, although she is from the countryside, her words and deeds are very regular, compared to those noble ladies, half a point.

Thinking of this, Li Yingjie personally took a chopstick dish and sent it to Lin Xi's bowl.

Lin Xi tilted his head, and his beautiful eyes like black grapes winked at Li Yingjie twice: "Thank you grandfather!" ”

Li Yingjie smiled faintly and said softly: "Use more!" ”

Qian looked at the movements of the grandfather and grandson, although there was a slight sour feeling in his heart, he still smiled and gave a chopstick dish to Lin Xi, and said: "These dishes today are all made by the master himself, and the first time you eat it, you must taste it well." ”

Lin Xi was so clever and smiled faintly: "Thank you grandmother!" Grandmother, you eat too. ”

Qian's face was bitter and said kindly: "What a good boy." ”

Uncle Li Congde's heart moved, raised his glass and smiled: "Xiaoxi, uncle is a cheerful person, in the future, just treat this house as your own home, don't be restrained, often go to your uncle's courtyard to walk around, what is missing, the next person is not thoughtful, just tell your uncle." ”

Seeing him talking, Lin Xi looked at the spring night and Xia Feng, and his heart moved a lot, I was afraid that my four seasons would become your meal sooner or later.

Lin Xi covered her lips with her sleeves and chuckled: "When the time comes, the eldest uncle will not be annoying to his niece." ”

Zhou Shunying's eyes were as bright as water, flowing waves, and it was obvious that the spring in the afternoon had moistened her long-dried heart. She smiled and said, "Silly boy, your uncle doesn't have time to hurt you, how can he annoy you." ”

"Exactly, exactly!" Li Congde nodded busily.

Lin Xi hurriedly said: "Thank you uncle, aunt!" ”

Zhou Shunying immediately laughed and said: "Thank you, it's all a family, thank you and thank you, it looks raw." ”

Li Fengjin, who had not spoken for a long time, saw Zhou's flattery with a smile on his face, and his heart was disdainful, and he coldly skimmed his eyes.

The third master, Li Congwang, put down the chopsticks and said loudly: "Father, tomorrow my son wants to take Xiaoxi to the street, and buy some rouge gouache and bead hairpin accessories for her, which can be regarded as a son's heart." ”

Linsey's heart moved when he heard this. She was trying to find an excuse to go out of the house to take a look at her senior sister and brother, Li Congwang mentioned yì like this, wouldn't it......

No, how could this gentleman be so kind, he must have figured out guò to hook up with his senior sister. Lin Xi suddenly realized, and there was some hesitation in his heart.

Li Yingjie has always liked Mozi the most, and when he saw Mozi say this, he smiled and said: "It's so good, so it's like being an elder." Ming'er went to the account room to pay the silver, and he didn't care about anything, but if Xiaoxi took a fancy to it, he just bought it. ”

When Li Congwang heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to respond, but was intercepted by others.

"Father, I'm going to go to the street tomorrow, and I'm going to buy it!" Li Fengjin raised his eyebrows and pouted.

Li Congwang wanted to take Lin Xi out of the house, so that he could meet Lin Nan in a bright and bright way, how could he make Li Fengjin ruin her good deeds, and said unceremoniously and coldly at the moment: "What are you going to make a fuss, are your rouge gouache and jewelry too little?" ”

Li Fengjin dropped his chopsticks when he heard it and said, "It's not your silver that was spent, why are you in a hurry?" ”

Li Congwang sneered: "I don't care how you like to make silver, master." Don't follow me tomorrow. ”

Li Fengjin has always wanted wind and rain in this mansion. came a Linsey, and everything stole her limelight. has made her extremely unhappy, this time even her own brother dislikes her, how can she bear it, so she said angrily: "You don't let me follow, I want to follow." ”

Lin Xi's heart moved, and he smiled lightly: "Little uncle, don't bother." Tomorrow you will accompany your aunt to the street. I want to go see my sister and brother tomorrow. My father died, and all these years were thanks to their care. Grandfather, you see......"

Li Yingjie saw a pair of watery eyes looking at him. Xindun was soft, how could he not, so he said: "It's hot outside, bring a few more people to follow." ”

Lin Xi smiled. The hand placed under the table gently tugged at Hou Ye's sleeve. He smiled and said, "Thank you, grandfather!" ”

"What's polite to grandfather, come, taste this fish, it's the most tender." Li Yingjie smiled and sandwiched another chopstick dish for Lin Xi.

Qian looked at the chopsticks dish. My heart felt as uncomfortable as swallowing seven or eight flies, and my face was scornful.

Li Congwang saw that good things were disturbed, and glared at Li Fengjin through gritted teeth. Suddenly lost his appetite.

Not to be outdone, Li Fengjin glared back, and his breath was blocked. Took a big sip of wine.

Li Congde and his wife had nothing to do with it, and hung high. Li Conggao and his wife didn't hear about it, and drank and ate food by themselves.

The aunts at that table listened to the movement of the main table and listened attentively with their ears propped up. After listening for a long time, I didn't hear anything Mingtang, so I looked at each other in my heart and ate silently.

For a while, there was silence in the water pavilion.

……

"Miss, the eldest young master has just returned home, and this will be in the master's room." Lamei

Lifted the curtain and came in, wiped his sweat and said.

Gao Iris put down the book in his hand and said with a happy face: "Ziwei, quickly help me bring those purses, I'll take a look." ”

Lamei said softly: "Miss, don't worry, the eldest young master will definitely go to the eldest lady's courtyard before returning to the room." It's too early to go, and it's boring to wait. ”

Gao Iris was stunned and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go slowly all the way, take advantage of the cold, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait long." ”

……

The sound of cicadas chirping on a summer night in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a few of the high iris masters and servants carried lanterns and walked unhurriedly.

"Fourth sister, where are you going?" A voice as gentle as jade suddenly sounded.

"Big brother!"

Gao Iris raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I was about to go to the eldest brother's room, but it was a coincidence that I met here." ”

Gao Zizhan saw that she was wearing a pink bright satin round-necked thin gown, embroidered with a few chrysanthemums, and there was no half-decoration on her head and body, only the water-green jade drop earrings on her ears were smartly attached to her cheeks.

"What's the matter with me?"

The moonlight sprinkled countless points of light behind Gao Zizhan, like a mist, and Gao Iris sighed slightly in his heart: "I haven't seen my eldest brother for a few days, and my eldest brother is becoming more and more prominent." ”

Gao Zizhan smiled dumbly: "Fourth sister, you ran to the eldest brother's courtyard in the middle of the night, could it be that you came to praise the eldest brother?" ”

Gao Iris glanced at him with disgust and said with a smile: "Sister to tell the truth, just now the eldest brother stood under the moonlight, and my sister looked back, as if she saw the fairy shadow in the illusion for herself. ”

"Cheng Fourth Sister boasts, the eldest brother has nothing to reciprocate, the moonlight is bright today, the breeze is gentle, and let me, the fairy shadow, accompany the fourth sister for a walk, how about it?"

"I can't ask for it!" High Iris smiled.

The two brothers walked side by side, and after a few steps, Gao Iris whispered: "Big brother, can you see people today?" ”

Gao Zizhan looked sideways, looked at her fixedly for a long time, and said with a smile: "How do you know?" ”

Gao Iris spoke quietly and said with a light smile: "The oranges in my courtyard are the best with Na Linxi, and if there is any news about her affairs, the oranges will be inquired clearly." She has been recuperating for three months, and she is out of the palace today, and I have known about this for a long time. ”

"Then how do you know that when I leave the palace today, I will go to the palace?" Gao Zizhan raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"In the autumn year, if it is not an important matter, an important person, how can the eldest brother be willing to go out of the house. Have you ever forgotten the bowl of antipyretic medicine that fell to the ground in front of the courtyard of the firewood house that day? "The high iris eye waves are circulating.

Gao Zizhan didn't see anything unusual on his face, but his eyes were sharp.

He said lightly: "Who else knows about this?" (To be continued)
