Chapter 108: The Feast
Ye Xiaoyu was about to go out when he heard the housekeeper Lao Wu standing there shouting at the top of his voice.
couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he finally stayed up until the meal started, and if he stood like this, Ye Xiaoyu would collapse.
The guests all sat down in their respective seats, and it seemed that the question of who would sit and where was probably already arranged early in the morning. Having said that, Ye Xiaoyu didn't see the name ranking on the wall, and she didn't know which table she should sit at for a while, so she had to follow the guests silently, wanting to wait for everyone to take a seat, and then find an empty seat to sit down.
"Xiaoyu, come, sit here......"
Lu Yishou, who was already seated, saw that Ye Xiaoyu was still moving slowly, and shouted.
Hearing the voice, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly ran over, Lu Yishou's table was the main table, and all the people sitting on it were from the Lu family's own family, including Ling Yu and Qinglang, when Ye Xiaoyu passed, it was already full of people, and there was only a place left next to Qinglang.
Carefully moved the chair, and Ye Xiaoyu sat down beside Qinglang. For some reason, sitting beside Qinglang, Ye Xiaoyu was inexplicably a little nervous in her heart. I couldn't help but glance at Qinglang who was sitting next to him, he was the same as usual, without any expression, sitting there, motionless like a stone statue.
"I'm really happy that you're here today. First of all, I would like to thank you all for being so kind and willing to come here and have a light meal with us. Secondly, I still want to thank you for taking care of the Lu family during the time I was out; Finally, I still want to thank you, without your help, there would be no road for me, and there would be no road for today. This glass of wine, I will do it first as a respect! ”
Ye Xiaoyu was thinking about it here, but Lu Yishou had already stood up and said a toast and began to toast. It is estimated that the business in the south is doing well this time, and Lu Yishou is in a particularly good mood today, and he also looks very humorous when he speaks.
"Brother Lu, this little girl, I don't seem to have seen it before?"
After a round of toasting, a middle-aged man who came to toast in the second wave looked at Ye Xiaoyu and asked.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it, this is Ye Xiaoyu, Ye Qing's daughter......"
Lu Yishou pointed at Ye Xiaoyu and said to the middle-aged man.
"Ye Qing? No...... It can't be that Ye Qing, right? ”
After hearing it clearly, the middle-aged man was a little surprised, and asked again.
"That's right, it's my sworn brother Ye Qing. You see, he was a child back then, and now his daughters are so old......"
Lu Yishou looked at Ye Xiaoyu and said to the middle-aged man. Ye Xiaoyu couldn't tell whether it was relief or sadness.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little gloomy, and the middle-aged man did not continue to ask, but raised his wine glass and toasted to Lu Yishou.
Lu Yishou did not shirk, and drank it all very boldly.
The people who came here to toast continued to be continuous, and Lu Yishou did not refuse, not even say anything, just smiled happily, and raised his wine glass and drank it all.
Everyone was chatting, the dinner was already halfway through, because they didn't care about anything, they just cared about bowing their heads to eat, and Ye Xiaoyu had already eaten very well at this time. She found that Lu Yishou was a little strange tonight, maybe it was because the business was going well, he was too happy, he basically didn't eat anything tonight, just drank hard, Jiang Ping, who was sitting on the side, saw him like this, and didn't dissuade him, so he let him drink one cup after another like crazy.
Lu Yishou was a little drunk, holding a wine jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other, and staggered to the other table to toast.
The atmosphere is very lively. I don't know when the sunny day around me has come off the table. Ling Yu on the other side was chatting with Lu Qian at this time, Jiang Ping watched with a smile, she couldn't hear what she was talking about, but she could see that the two were chatting happily. Today's Lu Meijiao is different from usual, and she is silent all the time like her son Qinglang, probably because Jiang Ping is not playing well.
Lu Yishou's amount of wine is good, but he can't stand his crazy drinking today, and after a while, he will drink and lie on the table. Jiang Ping called a few family members to carry him to the house in Beiyuan.
The dinner party also came to an end, although the dishes on the table kept increasing, but they were almost eaten up, and everyone was eating very much, in this case, seeing that Lu Yishou was drunk, everyone gradually dispersed with interest, and as soon as the guests left, the huge dining hall suddenly became empty, only Jiang Ping and a few of them and a table of messy dishes and chopsticks and leftovers.
After explaining and letting Ye Xiaoyu and the four children go back to rest first, Jiang Ping stayed behind and instructed his subordinates to clean up the messy tables and canteens.
Walking on the road, the oncoming cold wind made Ye Xiaoyu shiver several times and shrank her neck. Ling Yu and Lu Qian walked in front, Ye Xiaoyu walked in the middle, Qinglang still walked alone at the end, maybe it was because he ate too much, or maybe he had already talked too much at the table, on the way back, he was silent all the way, and everyone didn't speak again.
When he reached the central garden, he walked towards the east wing, and as usual, did not say anything. But Ling Yu did not return to Lixiang Garden, but insisted on sending Ye Xiaoyu and Lu Qian back to Nanyuan. So, back to the awkward scene of the three of them.
"Brother Ling, when are you going home?"
Lu Qian looked at Ling Yu and asked. It was the last question she wanted to ask.
"Well, in two or three days, I'll be almost going back when Mr. Qianyi comes back for the last lesson......"
Ling Yu's tone was flat, and his expression could not be seen in the darkness.
"Eh, is that if Mr. doesn't come back for the last lesson, you won't leave and wait for him to come back to class......"
Lu Qian seemed to have discovered a new continent, and his voice changed a little.
Ye Xiaoyu, who was walking behind, heard this and felt a little funny, Lu Qian, Lu Qian, what should I say about you.
"Fool, I won't wait for Mr. Qianyi, if he doesn't come back to class in two or three days, then I'll have to leave first......"
Ling Yu hurriedly explained that he needed to make it clear to Lu Qian quickly, otherwise, when the time came, with Lu Qian's temperament, he didn't know what he would do to Qianyi.
"When will you be back?"
Listening to Ling Yu's words, Lu Qian was a little disappointed, but he continued to ask, if he could determine the date of meeting, the short separation would not be so difficult.
"Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I said that next year's Lantern Festival will take you and Xiaoyu to the capital to see the night view, and I will definitely not break my promise."
Ling Yu said, turning his head to look at Ye Xiaoyu who was walking behind.
Lu Qian didn't answer again, she was very happy to see the night scene, but she felt very annoyed when she wanted to go with Ye Xiaoyu, anyway, it was still a long time, and she had to think of a way to prevent Ye Xiaoyu from going with her.
Lu Qian's yard was next door to Ye Xiaoyu, and when Ling Yu said goodbye to Lu Qian at the door of Lu Qian, Ye Xiaoyu did not wait there, but made a "goodbye" gesture to him and walked directly towards his house.
"Xiaoyu ......"
Ling Yu shouted behind him.
