The banquet lasted until dusk, and the guests of the Dongjing Mansion dispersed.

Mrs. Wei Guo sat cross-legged on the couch, her heavy auspicious clothes were changed, only a soft cotton robe, and the two maids waited one after the other to remove the hairpin ring jewelry for her, comb her hair, and then wait for her to bathe and change clothes.

Jiang Huan was clubbed in front of her eyes, and said with a tiger face: "Why didn't you tell me about the riddle in advance?" How to bring out the ancestors' training shoes, I don't know anything about it. ”

Mrs. Wei Guo raised her hand and unscrewed the wrench on her finger, glanced at her, and said: "Your careful thoughts, can't you see it when your mother, if I tell you, you will definitely leak it out in advance, this is a big matter for your brother to choose a wife, not for you to mess around." ”

"I didn't mess around," Jiang Huan was unconvinced, "Didn't you promise me, you want to take a good look at the person I chose, as a result, you have already made arrangements, and you gave the bracelet given by your brother to others, and you don't ask me if I like it or not." ”

Seeing that her daughter made her small, Mrs. Wei Guo smiled and said: "It's just a bracelet, and it's not really about her, as for the Lianfang girl you said, I've also seen it, to be honest, it's not as good as you said, you see, she didn't guess any of the four puzzles I gave, didn't she?" ”

"I think it's because people don't want to cling to our Dongguan Palace, unlike some powerful women, who are delusional about flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes, hum." Anyway, she didn't like that Miss Situ, she looked pretentious, and she looked unappetizing.

Mrs. Wei Guo smiled more and more, and her shoulders shook slightly.

"Mother! What are you laughing at, am I not right? I just can't look down on those villains who are coming at our Jiang family's strength. Jiang Huan couldn't help but step forward and squeeze to Mrs. Weiguo's side. Holding her arm and coquettish.

Mrs. Wei Guo shook her head, slowly stopped her smile, wiped the corners of her eyes, and asked her: "Then what kind of woman do you want to find for your brother, jealous of wealth and wealth, and not eating fireworks in the world?" Hua Lan, you are the daughter of our Jiang family, why are you so short-sighted, okay, I won't talk about it. Don't mix it up anymore. Mother has her own plans in mind, and she will always find a good girl that your brother will definitely like—"

After a pause, she poked the tip of Jiang Huan's nose lightly and said jokingly: "She is also a good sister-in-law who doesn't dare to bully you." ”

Jiang Huan saw that she couldn't move her mother. I was annoyed. But he didn't mess around anymore. It's just that whether she listens to Mrs. Wei Guo's words or not, it's another matter.

***

Xue Rui sent Aunt Xue and Xue Jinxun back to the mansion separately and changed into light clothes. Rode out again.

Yu Shu and he made an appointment to meet at the market in the east of the city, one of Xue Mansion and Yu Mansion was at the foot of the imperial city, and the other was on Baochang Street, a little far away, because both of them went home to change their clothes, and then they met, it was already evening.

There is no curfew in the north of the city in September, and there are only a few small shops, restaurants, dance houses and music halls closed on the north and south streets, which is the best time of the day when business is at its best.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Yu Shu and Xue Rui led their horses in the endless crowd, occasionally attracting people to look back, but they didn't recognize who they were.

"Mrs. Wei Guo has four puzzles, the puzzles are all the same item, whoever guesses it will give it to whom, and there is also an heirloom of the Jiang family, guess what it is?" Yu Shuman thought it was hard to guess, and gave him a few more hints:

"There's a piece of jade, a dagger, a pair of shoes, and a box of sugar."

Who knew that Xue Rui replied without thinking about it: "It's shoes." ”

"Yo," Yu Shu was surprised and looked at him suspiciously: "Did you listen to what your second aunt said?" ”

Xue Rui shook his head, he escorted the female dependents back to the house without stopping, afraid that she would wait for a long time, how could he have the time to ask these questions.

"The heirloom of the Jiang family is a pair of shoes, which I have known for a long time." He smiled and didn't tell Yu Shu, there was still a time when Jiang Huaiying asked him to fight for wine, and he was drunk and leaked.

Yu Shu thought of his "ulterior" relationship with the King of Dongjing, so he didn't ask much.

It was Xue Rui who asked her with some concern: "Which of those four puzzles have you guessed?" The heart said don't let her guess the shoes, otherwise the fun will be great.

"I didn't even guess any of them." Yu Shu shrugged.

Xue Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then was in the mood to tease her: "What kind of riddle is so difficult to guess, can't you even guess?" ”

He remembered that she was very good at riddles, and on the day of the opening of the Wangji Building, it was the Lantern Festival.

Yu Shuping said bluntly: "It's not that I can't guess, I just don't want to be that bird," she muttered: "I always feel that today's birthday banquet is not so simple." ”

It seems that the young lady who came was a little too much, and the guessing link at the end of the most abrupt came, and she took out the heirlooms in a good manner, and she didn't believe it if she wanted to say that she was not tired.

"You say, is Mrs. Wei Guo making an idea and giving them a daughter-in-law to see the Jiang family?" Yu Shu is not guessing out of thin air, King Dong Jing is still a bachelor when he is over thirty years old, and there were rumors that the emperor intended to marry the daughter of King Xiang Xiwen to the Northeast, although it was not done later, but the position of Princess Dong Jing has been hanging.

Xue Rui's eyelids jumped, and he turned his head to look at her, not knowing whether to answer right or wrong.

Yu Shu caught the movement of his eyes, and when he saw that there was a ghost, he immediately stopped and said unhappily: "It's really what I thought, it seems that you have already counted, why don't you talk to me?" ”

Xue Rui saw that he couldn't hide it from her, so he confessed leniently: "I thought before, there is nothing for you here, it's just that you come to the door to pay homage to your birthday and have a banquet, and then you will be fine, there is no need to say it to annoy you and cause you to misunderstand." ”

Yu Shu'er has been strange since she saw Jiang Huan today, and she couldn't figure out why she was so enthusiastic about treating herself, so she led her to Mrs. Weiguo as soon as she met, and when she heard Xue Rui's explanation, she instantly bypassed the corner.

Co-authoring Jiang Huan is to draw her into the reserve army of her sister-in-law's candidate! This Jiang Huan, the county lord of Chunwei, is really good, in vain she has appreciated her true temperament, it turns out that she is also a ghost calculating.

Thanks to Xue Rui, he thought that there was nothing to do with her here, so he didn't stop her from delivering it to the door at all.

"What am I bothering about?" She squinted at him, suppressing an evil fire. "Tell me, I'm afraid I'll misunderstand something?"

Xue Rui sensed her anger, but he didn't know where it came from, because he couldn't talk on the street, he had to pull her by the sleeve and lead her to a nearby alley against the crowd.

"Ashu, don't be angry, where did I say the wrong thing, you tell me." He lowered his voice, as if he knew what he was wrong and changed it.

Yu Shu said sullenly: "You might as well ask your good sister-in-law." ”

After the fatebreaker. She fell out with Jingchen. Since then, I hate others for ignoring her wishes and trying to manipulate her life. Jiang Huan's move can be said to have violated her taboo.

Thanks to her careful attention, she did not steal the limelight at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Weiguo. But even so. Jiang Huan pretended to treat her intimately like that. fell in the eyes of those who care, and it has already caused her trouble.

Xue Rui is so smart, listen to her voice-over. I figured out the key in an instant, and suddenly my face darkened, and I said in a deep voice: "You mean, Jiang Huan invited you to the banquet, not just to accompany you?" ”

Yu Shu was silent, but she told Xue Rui the answer with annoyance on her face.

Xue Rui's heart was on fire, and he figured out that according to Jiang Huan's disregarding character, he had done such a self-asserted thing, and the origin of Yu Shu's name was already on the desk of Mrs. Weiguo at this time.

Yu Shu saw that he was silent, looked up, and saw the faintly beating sparks in his dark eyes, showing anger, and his heart palpitated, he felt that it was unreasonable to be angry with him just now, with his cherishment of her, if he found out what the hell Jiang Huan had played, I am afraid that even today's birthday banquet would not let her go.

Her heart softened, she moved her fingers that were clenched by him, and said: "Okay, don't be upset, I'm not nothing, I look at Mrs. Weiguo's appearance, and I don't look like I would like a girl like me, I didn't guess any of the four puzzles, I didn't expect me to be able to get into other people's eyes." You see, I have no family background, and I am not beautiful, and there are many smart and beautiful young ladies at the banquet. ”

She was angry, but because Jiang Huan calculated silently, not really thinking that Mrs. Wei Guo liked her. Besides, even if Mrs. Wei Guo and Jiang Huan have the same brain cramps as they fall in love with her, they still have the ability to take her down.

The emperor will let her, a lifebreaker who is very concerned with the society, go to be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, who he is afraid of, don't be funny.

Xue Rui listened to her self-loss, unconsciously extinguished her anger, and pressed one hand on her shoulder, if it weren't for the fact that someone would pass by here at any time, I was afraid that she would not be able to help but hold her in her arms, so that she could know that the self in her mouth, in his eyes, was the most satisfactory good girl in the world.

"Then don't you blame me?"

"What do you blame, it's not your fault for this," Yu Shubai glanced at him, slapped him in the chest, and said, "At most, I won't care about Jiang Huan in the future." ”

Xue Rui thought for a while and said, "Jiang Huan is very stubborn, although I don't know why she is eyeing you, but if you want her to give up, just if you ignore her, I'm afraid she won't give up easily." ”

"What can she do to me?" Yu Shu disagreed, before today, she was Jiang Huan her friend and was willing to give her face, but after today, how old is that girl?

Xue Rui smiled and sighed, and patiently said to her: "You have also seen it in the Cui family's big gambling house before, Jiang Huan is a temper who is afraid of the world, she is used to making trouble, if others follow her, it is fine, if they don't follow her, she will turn the world upside down, and she will not give up until she achieves her goal." In my opinion, you don't rush to turn your face with her first, and tomorrow I will make it clear to her face to face, so that she doesn't beat your idea. ”

Yu Shu listened to him count Jiang Huan's temperament like this, and looked like he understood it very well, although he was a little unhappy, he didn't go to his heart, and only asked him:

"How are you going to tell her that if she doesn't listen?"

Xue Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, his handsome face glowed softly under the dim street lamp, he pinched her flexible shoulders, and said, "If she doesn't listen, I will think of sending her back to Ningdong City, so that she can't stay in the capital." Shu, don't you believe me? ”

Under his affectionate gaze, Yu Shu couldn't afford to refute the slightest, muttered, and said:

"Just as you say." (To be continued......)
