Xue Rui heard that Jiang Huan personally sent an invitation to Yu Shu, his expression was a little subtle, and when he saw the congratulatory gift she made a special trip to pick today, he didn't know how to explain it to her for a while.

Mrs. Weiguo, who quietly entered Beijing, held a birthday banquet unusually, it can be said that the drunkard did not mean to drink, it is said that Princess Changshu came forward, and many famous families in Anling City received the banquet stickers, and they must bring the young lady of the right age in the house to go that day, even their Xue Mansion is no exception, the grandfather also called him the day before yesterday, and asked him to take Jinxun to go when he arrived.

Xue Rui would never let his baby sister marry in Ningdong City, which was far away, even if he had a close relationship with King Dongjing. Xue Lingnan obviously meant the same thing, Xue Jin was good at finding her background, but with such a good appearance and temperament, she didn't expect that Mrs. Weiguo would not like her when she saw her, so it was a good thing to take her there.

But Ah Shu Xue Rui hoped that he thought about it too much, and Jiang Huan invited her on a whim, rather than having ulterior motives.

"Big brother, have you seen Mrs. Weiguo, help me with the staff officer, which set of red crystal and amethyst is suitable for giving away?" Yu Shu opened two square brocade boxes, and placed a full set of crystal jewelry in two colors on the soft flannel, hairpins, hairpins, earrings, hand beads, pendants, rings, a total of six pieces, the first grade of a water head luster, carving craftsmanship, all rare, very handy.

Xue Rui put down his mind and smiled at her: "Mrs. Weiguo is from the Wang clan of Shandong, and her biological mother is the county lord of Yaoguang, the sister of the first emperor and the same sect, she married the previous generation of Dongjing King as a wife, and has lived in Ningdong for thirty years. ”

Yu Shu nodded. If Xue Rui hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have known that Jiang Huan and her mother were actually the cousin of the current emperor.

"Listen to you." Yu Shu put away the purple one, took the red one outside, and told Xu Qing to send it back to Jubaozhai, so as not to forget about it when she turned around.

After saying a few more words, the corners of her mouth twitched painfully, Yu Shu hurriedly took the tea and drank it, and Xue Rui came back to see her secretly baring her teeth along the way. Only when she sits on a horse and eats the wind. Feeling something was wrong under his eyes, he asked:

"What's wrong with your mouth?"

As soon as Yu Shu said this, he became angry, poured a few sips of tea, and said, "It's been on fire for the past two days." There was a froth in his mouth. It hurts when you speak. ”

Xue Rui listened. So he reached out and pinched her chin, leaned closer and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Yu Shu didn't dodge, so he had to open his mouth to let him see. Just a little inside the corner of her mouth, Xue Rui saw at a glance, two fire bubbles the size of sesame seeds, burning white and next to each other, no wonder she bared her teeth.

"Have you had a liver fire, have you drunk the medicine?"

Yu Shu said "no" weakly, and saw him frowning, then got up and went outside, called Guiqi, I don't know what he ordered, and after a while, I saw the cook Xiuqing wiping her hands and coming to the door, and the apron on her body was not undone.

"What's wrong with the girl?" Xiuqing invited Yu Shu to the couch, sat down to check her pulse, looked at her mouth sores, and turned back to Xue Rui and said, "Don't worry, son, it's okay, I'll go ahead and write a prescription and let Guiqi grab the medicine." ”

Xue Rui nodded and advised: "Change a few light side dishes for lunch, remove the fish and shrimp fat soup, and then stew a soup that has failed the fire, and serve it after the meal." ”

Xiuqing responded one by one, and hurriedly left, she was the chef in charge of this forgetting machine building, and the kitchen was without her for a moment, and it was all messed up.

Xue Rui didn't hide it from her, Yu Shu knew that the people who worked in the Wangji Building were all capable people, the cooks would see a doctor and catch medicine, and the people who swept the floor and sprinkled water were all martial arts masters.

I really don't know where Xue Rui recruited these strange things, she never asked him, but hid this curiosity in her heart.

Closing the door, Xue Rui came back, sat beside her, stared at her for a while, suddenly sighed, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Is there anything you can't discuss with me, do you have to be in a hurry by yourself?" You're just too strong. ”

She is not broad-minded, and if she is so angry on the ground, she must have encountered troubles. also blames him, his heart can't be knotted these days, and he avoids her intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Shu hadn't been close to him for many days, and his face was a little thin, but after listening to his gentle voice, he was reluctant to push it away, so he put his hands on his knees, leaned on his shoulders, and said:

"I can solve it myself, why give you a headache again."

She doesn't say it verbally, don't think she doesn't care about him, the official affairs of Dali Temple are much busier than Si Tianjian, she only needs to sit and work every day, as soon as he encounters a case, he runs around, goes to the court to hear the trial and prison torture, isn't it more tiring than her.

Moreover, when there was such a disgrace in Yin Shilang's mansion, she didn't dare to tell him.

Xue Rui didn't ask her in the end, hugged her shoulder, temporarily relieved the lovesickness for a few days, heard the knock on the door, let go of his hand, Yu Shu quickly sat up, cut his hair, and then called someone to come in and set the dishes.

As far as she covered her ears and stole the bell, she didn't know that the people in the Wangji Building had already guessed about the relationship between the two of them, and they were just willing to open their eyes and be blind.

***

In a blink of an eye, on the day of Mrs. Weiguo's birthday, Yu Shu did not take a break today, and went to the Kunling Bureau as usual in the morning, and approved a few official documents before leaving.

Because he wanted to go back to the house to change his clothes, he didn't make an appointment with Xue Rui.

At the beginning of noon, Yu Shu's sedan chair arrived on Huating Street, the road was blocked in front, and Lu Hong asked her outside if she wanted to wait for a while or come down and walk.

Yu Shu thought that he was not a nobleman, so he got off the sedan chair and beckoned to Abe Aoiko, who was following behind on a mule, and the child quickly turned over and trotted forward.

"Master."

"Take the congratulatory gift and come with me."

The sedan chair man found a place to rest, and Yu Shu took a maid and two guards to walk through the crowded streets and came to the door of the Dongjing Palace.

The Jiang family is a prince with a different surname, guarding the domain all the year round, this palace has been vacant for many years, but today it is not down, the big red lantern is hung in the daytime, a pair of white jade lions lying high in front of the door, scrubbed bright and clean, the neck is specially tied with red silk, the doorway is covered with a scarlet felt carpet, extended to the middle of the road, a festive.

The people who greet guests at the door are not ordinary people, and there are only female dependents in the palace. It was not good to come to the front yard to entertain guests, so Mrs. Wei Guo invited a cousin of the Liu clan, Liu Deyong, the prince of Guangping County, to stand at the gate.

Don't look at the person who is almost forty years old, but in terms of seniority, he has to call Mrs. Weiguo a little aunt.

As soon as Yu Shu saw the face in front of the door, he took a few steps back smartly, and waited for other guests to come forward to greet him, before saying that this was a second-class grandfather, leading Abe Aoiko up the stairs, handing over the invitation, and reporting his name. Worshipped the god of the door.

The Duke of Quang Binh County has seen the post. It was inevitable that he left a heart, and said with an amiable smile: "It turns out that this is the Yu female envoy, I really didn't expect that I am so young, I have always loved Yi Xuexuanqi." The most respected is the Yu Nu to make such a stranger. Another day, I will invite you to the house. You don't want to come. ”

Yu Shudao was kind words, so he said a few words modestly and entered the door. Because it was a female guest, a maid was introduced into the backyard, but there were also a few familiar faces on the way, and they didn't mention it.

There is an artificial lake in the east of the garden of the Dongjing Palace, the pavilions and water pavilions on the lake surface, the banquet is placed in the Xuan Pavilion in this continuous chapter, it is full of calculations, there are no less than 100 tables, and the people who come are really called a lot.

Yu Shu was invited to one of the seats, and before he sat down, he looked left and right to find the trace of Xue Xiaomei, yesterday Xue Rui entrusted her, today the Xue family aunt will take Xue Jin to the table, Xue Rui stayed in the front yard, so he asked Yu Shu to take care of his little sister.

Yu Shu is duty-bound, Xue Rui's sister is not her sister.

She looked at others at this time, but someone behind her saw her first, Xin Liu and Situ Qinglan sat together, separated by two carved railings, pointed to the east direction, and said:

"Lan Lan, look, isn't that the lotus room?"

Situ Qinglan turned her head to look, the smile on her face faded slightly, and she said, "Hmm", "It seems to be her." ”

Xin Liu dragged her and said, "Let's go, let's find her." ”

Situ Qinglan sat still and persuaded her: "It's time to start the table, don't run around yet." ”

Xin Liu was reluctant, her mother was sitting on the side, she was talking to the wife of the Qin family and couldn't take care of her, Qin Yuerou was also there, she didn't take advantage of this time to find the lotus room, and the banquet would be held later, let alone think about slipping away.

"Forget it, if you don't go, I'll go."

"Wait, look." Situ Qinglan grabbed her, pointed to Yu Shu's side, and saw a tall girl wearing a fiery red beard suit, a fiery red crown, swaggering and eye-catching, striding towards Yu Shu, holding her shoulders affectionately, the two talked and laughed, and went to the master's seat together.

Who is the girl who is like a fire, they all know it, the sister of Jiang Huaiying, the king of Beijing, the pearl of Mrs. Weiguo, the lord of Chunwei, Jiang Huan.

"Sit down," Situ Qinglan sneered at Xin Liu, "Where can she see us." ”

Xin Liu pouted, sat down, and turned his head to glare at Situ Qinglan: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Situ Qinglan shook her head and didn't speak.

Xin Liu was stubborn, and snorted in a low voice: "Don't think I don't know the way, are you blaming her for not going to celebrate your birthday, I told you a long time ago, she entered the official mansion, she must have been too busy to get out of the body and forgot it, and you didn't go to her to ask for an understanding, so you blamed her first." ”

Situ Qinglan's face stiffened, and she wanted to refute, but she couldn't speak, so she had to smile bitterly, looking up at Yu Shu's back, unable to tell whether she was sad or envious.

In late July, she celebrated her birthday and invited Yu Shu early, and she also promised to come, who knew that on that day, she would not come to her, and afterwards the cousins at home laughed at her behind her back, how could she stand it in her heart.

"Alright, don't think nonsense, we'll ask her later." Xin Liu thought that he knew Yu Shu and didn't want Situ Qinglan to misunderstand her.

While the two were talking, Yu Shu had been led by Jiang Huan to meet Mrs. Weiguo and introduced her to her face.

"Mother, this is the girl Yu I mentioned to you, the first friend I made in the capital was her, you can call her Lianfang."

She didn't mention Yu Shu's official position, and second, she didn't mention her title, so she casually brought it to Mrs. Weiguo.

Mrs. Weiguo glanced at her daughter, turned her head and smiled kindly at Yu Shuci, and said: "My daughter is not particular, it is difficult for you to be willing to play with her, you must have suffered a lot of idleness from her, good boy, do you have small characters, or I will call you Lianfang?" ”

Yu Shu admitted: "Madame, just call me Lianfang." ”

Her background in the oil bottle, and the etiquette were not handled, where did the small characters come from, just such a crooked name, or Xue Rui gave it. (To be continued......)
