99. Chapter 100
It turned out that he had experienced life and death at a young age, and he was warm and cold, so he showed such a sad and vicissitudes of expression on the night of the night banquet. Looking back at his figure surrounded by the crowd, even in the hustle and bustle, he was so lonely, Ye Xiyan couldn't help but sigh, and smiled softly, "Yo, I can't see that you still care about him!" β
"Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Situ Jingyi's cheeks flushed.
Ye Xiyan held his chin with his hand, and said with experience, "Actually, it's nothing, if you like him, you can boldly confess!" β
She had already seen that Shen Qingyue had a deep love for Jingyi, but Jingyi secretly promised Bai Yunxi. A tangled love triangle!
"Will it work?" Situ Jingyi broke out according to the temperament of a woman, and boldly asked, "Sister, how to confess?" β
Ye Xiyan coughed, pretending to be deep, "Well, according to my experience, it still has a significant effect on getting straight to the point." The implication is that this trick really doesn't work for some people. "She's talking about her own one.
Situ Jingyi nodded again and again, "But, will he think I'm too unreserved?" β
"Ahem" Ye Xiyan's face was not very comfortable, and he complained, "Then do you want love or face?" β
"Love!"
"That's it!" Ye Xiyan made a final decision, "That's good, tomorrow Nianqing will celebrate my birthday, and I invite Bai Yunxi to participate and create opportunities for you." β
Shen Qingyue, don't blame the second sister-in-law for being ruthless, I also did this for the sake of your happiness, Jingyi this girl, if she was not rejected by Bai Yunxi clearly, it was impossible for her to forget Bai Yunxi. Even if she can't forget it, you can still take advantage of it! Ye Xiyan smugly in his heart.
From the professional perspective of a senior gossip, she was sure that Bai Yunxi was not interested in Situ Jingyi, otherwise she would not have encouraged Jingyi to confess.
The next day, Ye Xiyan applied for special approval from Master Shen and the Liu family, allowing the juniors of the Shen family not to go to the hall for dinner, but to have a birthday party in the courtyard where Nianqing lived.
Worried that Nian Qing was tired, after Ye Xiyan had lunch, he sent Shi Jian and others to her to help her arrange the dinner. Subsequently, he instructed Yue'er to invite Shen Qingyue and Bai Yunxi, and he taught Shen Mofeng to play backgammon for a while, and then lay down on the bed to take a nap.
When I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, there was no one in the courtyard, and Shen Mofeng didn't know where to go.
Ye Xiyan wondered in her heart and wanted to ask someone to ask, but the girls were all sent out by her, and there was no one to call, so she only touched a novel in the study, leaned on the bamboo collapse, and read it absentmindedly.
Another hour passed, Nian Qing had already sent someone to invite, but there was still no trace of them, and Ye Xiyan became more and more strange. She changed into the new clothes she had just made two days ago, combed her simple and delicate hairstyle, painted light makeup, and followed the girl to Nianqing's courtyard.
The living room is very festively decorated, with two red lanterns with the word "Shou" hanging under the eaves, and two pots of evergreen in the corner, adding a little greenery to the red eyes.
The girl helped Nianqing to be at the door early, and when she saw Ye Xiyan coming, she stepped forward with a smile and held her hand and pulled her into the house together.
In the room, Yun Luo and Shen Qingshu sat quietly, and the two little girls were busy serving them tea, and it seemed that they had just arrived for a while.
Shen Qingshu asked, "Brother and sister, hasn't the second brother arrived yet?" β
"He may come here with the third brother."
As soon as the words fell, Situ Jingyi's big grinning voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Be careful, don't break it!" β
Everyone was curious, looked up, Situ Jingyi smiled and walked in the door, she was followed by two family members, family members carried the screen, to see the screen clearly, Ye Xiyan stood up excitedly, walked quickly in front of them, and stroked it with bright eyes, this screen is made of agarwood as the base, and the front is embroidered with snow silk Ruixue Hongmeitu, I want to be in Guyi Zhai when I was shopping for antiques, I liked it at first sight, but it was too big to take it away when she ran away, so she couldn't bear to cover her wallet.
Ye Xiyan hugged Situ Jingyi excitedly, "Jingyi, I love you so much, this is the best gift I have ever received!" β
Situ Jingyi also hugged her with a smile, "It's good if you like it!" β
However, Ye Xiyan always felt that something was wrong.
She knocked on the base, the agarwood is right, the snow silk is no problem, and she also recognizes Ruixue Hongmei, touching her chin and turning around the screen, and suddenly with a frightened face, she pointed to the extra man and woman on the screen, "What's going on with them?" I remember that screen had no figures! β
"Hey, take a closer look at who they are?"
Ye Xiyan's eyes widened, the men and women embroidered on the screen were himself and Xiao Feng, and the scene of the two sitting embracing each other was painted in Xiao Feng's painting.
"Oh, this is the painting I borrowed in your room, don't put it in the box so casually in the future, such an important thing, you should collect it well!" Situ Jingyi took out a painting out of nowhere and stuffed it into her arms.
I said girl, you are a heroine, not a gentleman on the beam, okay! Ye Xiyan glanced at her, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with her, snorted, and joked, "If it is placed in a box, plus a lock, and it is said to be placed casually, then only the airtight treasury is the final destination of this painting!" β
Situ Jingyi smiled and said, "Ah, Sister Xiyan, don't be so stingy, it's just a bit of a borrowing!" β
Yun Luo smiled, watching the two of them playing, his gaze occasionally slid to the painting of the screen, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the teacup turned slightly white.
It was almost time for dinner, and Bai Yunxi and Shen Qingyue finally appeared at the gate, but Shen Mofeng was nowhere to be seen. Ye Xiyan was a little worried and asked, "Third brother, isn't your second brother with you?" β
"Hasn't the second brother come back yet?" Shen Qingyue looked surprised, "This afternoon he said he was going to buy something, but he didn't go to Dingxiangju with me!" β
Ye Xiyan was anxious, "Why don't you follow him!" As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly explained, "I mean he may be lost alone!" β
Shopping alone, who knows what kind of oolong that guy will make and get lost? Forgot to give money? The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, Ye Xiyan smiled apologetically at everyone, "I'm sorry, you guys have a table first, I'm going back to Suiyanju to see if Xiaofeng has come back." β
Yun Luo smiled and nodded, a haze flashing under his eyes.
Nian Qing looked worried, "Xiyan, let Zhu'er and Qing'er go back with you." β
Bai Yunxi and Shen Qingyue glanced at each other, the two who were originally standing side by side slowly separated, Bai Yunxi hugged his shoulders and said casually, "Okay, I'll eat your share for you." β
"Thank you very much!"
"As it should be!"
Ye Xiyan decided not to talk to him anymore, and walked sideways between him and Shen Qingyue, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, the whole person was stupid.
In the courtyard, the very cheesy and cheesy three words "I love you" surrounded by red candles must be her hallucination, and Shen Mofeng, who was holding a ball of suspicious things, his face was painted with flour like a flower cat, and standing stupidly next to the red candle must also be her hallucination.
"Haha......"
A loud laugh came from inside the room.
Situ Jingyi's little head sneaked to the door, "Look at Sister Xiyan, the second brother suddenly appeared, and she was stupid." β
Nian Qing's head also went up, "I think she was frightened by the words that the second brother spelled out with candles!" β
"No, the second sister-in-law was shocked by the flour on the second brother's body." Shen Qingyue's gentle smile ranked third.
"Neither nor not!" Bai Yunxi also came to join in the fun, her slender eyes smiled like a fox, "What scared her was the cake in Xiaofeng's hand." β
"She's just scared by it all!" Shen Qingshu had a serious face, leaned next to the four heads, and summarized very creatively.
Ye Xiyan felt that she didn't say anything more, she was really sorry for the enthusiastic onlookers, she moved her fingers and asked the doubts in her heart, "Xiaofeng, that weird-looking thing in your hand can't be a cake, right?" β
"It's cake!" The five of them said in unison.
"You made this yourself?"
"It's just handmade!" The five of them spoke in unison again.
The boring gossip five, the collective disappearance in the afternoon, and the unexpected birthday present must have been planned by them, although it was to surprise her, and she was indeed very touched, but she still couldn't bear to be visited like a monkey.
So, she turned her head sharply and threw a few eye knives at them, and they were not afraid at all, but ran into the courtyard to watch closely.
Shen Mofeng blinked stupidly, walked up to her with the large disk in his hand, lowered his head and kicked the floor, "Little daughter-in-law, this is my birthday gift to you!" β
The oddly shaped thing in the disk, which the Gossip Five called a cake, resembled a fat head that had been punched in the face and grinned a few broken eggshells.
Oh, is this thing called cake really edible?
Shen Mofeng's cheeks and nose were stained with flour, and his clothes were dirty, Ye Xiyan reached out and tore off a small piece from the big steamed bun, picked off the eggshell inside, put it in his mouth, and nodded with a serious face, "It tastes good, it's just a little salty." β
Burst! Five people squirted together.
Shen Mofeng's face full of anticipation suddenly fell, and he touched his head in frustration, "I treat salt as sugar." β
"It's okay, I love it!" Ye Xiyan smiled lightly, took the "cake" from his hand, glanced at the circle of fiery red candles, and his cheeks flushed slightly, "You also got the candles?" β
"Yes"
"You spelled those three words out of the same way?"
"Yes"
I didn't expect him to do such a thing, Ye Xiyan was greatly moved, and after a while, she coughed and asked curiously, "Did you come up with it yourself?"
Shen Mofeng shook his head honestly, "My cousin taught me!" β
When Bai Yunxi heard this, he shook his hair very chicly, and threw a very ecstatic wink, "How about it, do you like the birthday gift I gave you?" By the way, and thisβ"
