Yu Shu went home in the evening, and Pei Jing was also there, specially to convey the news that Mrs. He and Aunt Qin had crossed the river, and that they would be able to enter Beijing by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

Zhao Hui and his wife were naturally happy, discussing going to the city gate tomorrow to pick up people, Yu Shu took the initiative to ask Ying, to take Yu Xiaoxiu with him, not for anything else, Zhao Hui and He Fangzhi went to Beijing to find her without hesitation, and Grandma He was willing to nod and agree, which was enough for her to respect this elder.

So the next day, Yu Xiaoxiu didn't go to the school, so he followed Yu Shu and He Fangzhi and Pei Jing to wait outside the city, and Zhao Huiting didn't go out with a big belly.

It was almost noon, the carriage team from Yiyang arrived, pulling the goods in front, followed by the dart team, and the female dependents sat in the two carriages in the middle.

A large family met next to the city gate forest road, separated for several months, saw their son and husband, Mrs. He and Mrs. Qin all shed tears, but did not ignore the Yu Shu sisters and brothers who were standing on the side, and beckoned to the front to hold hands and touch the little face, praising and praising them, very intimate.

Yu Xiaoxiu was uncomfortable, but Yu Shu listened to the old man with a smile:

"God has mercy, fortunately your two children are safe and sound, look at this good man, my old wife can still pick up one more pair of grandchildren and grandchildren, I don't know how to be happy, hey, hey."

Qin also smiled: "What the old lady said, I also picked up an aunt to do." ”

Pei Jing also has an only daughter, who will be seven years old, with a milk name of Nini, born white and ruddy, held in her father's arms, and taught her to call her sister and brother.

After the meeting, the group entered the city, and on the way home, they crowded in a big carriage to talk, which was lively and lively, so that these two relatives were halfway away. Invisibly closer.

***

Pei Jing asked Xing Qi to pull the goods and luggage back first, and the couple went to He Fangzhi's house to settle down first.

Washing off the dust, seven or eight people sat in the big house in the backyard, and Yu Shu pulled Yu Xiaoxiu to kowtow to Mrs. He for tea. asked the Qin family seriously and called his aunt.

The two women had already prepared, and one of them gave their sister and brother two pieces of pressing the bottom of the box, both of which were good things for many years.

Yu Shu happily accepted it, and asked Kidney Bean to take the sachet she had prepared and stuffed it into Xiao Nini's hand, which contained a piece of Fushan auspicious jade that was given by the last saint, a real treasure.

The Qin clan didn't know what was inside. I let the child accept it, and when I turned around, I found that it was valuable, and I couldn't return it if I wanted to.

Zhao Hui sighed at the hard work of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law on the road, and as she spoke, she somehow got to the day when Yu Shu held a banquet.

"The place at home is not big enough, so we thought about booking the banquet to the restaurant, which also saves time and trouble. Xiao Yu said that the end of the month is auspicious, and it is set on that day. It just so happened that the old lady and you were back, and you could still celebrate together. ”

On the way back, Mrs. He and the Qin family heard Pei Jing talk about the happy event of Yu Shu's high school operator, and Mrs. He was fine. Qin's family, as a businesswoman, is familiar with it, but she knows how good her identity is, thinking that her husband was admitted to the university arithmetic master that year, he would have ten miles of scenery and a glorious lintel, not to mention the top one.

The Qin family had a heart, and waited until they had eaten the wine and food, said goodbye to Zhao Hui's family, and returned home with Pei Jing. On the way, he sighed:

"At that time, she was just a homeless little girl, who knew that this would be a straight up. It's still the master's discerning eye, and he recognizes such a niece, there is no brother on Nini, and he will be recruited in the future, waiting for us to be a hundred years later. With such relatives to take care of, they are not afraid of being bullied. ”

Pei Jing hugged the sleeping only daughter on his lap, glanced at the Qin family, and said with a smile: "It's not too early for Madam to think about this now, you and I have good bones, can't we live to be one hundred and eighty years old." You, don't worry, wait for our husband and wife to grow old together, and then see the children and grandchildren full of people. ”

Qin's eyes turned red, nodded slightly, and leaned on Pei Jing's shoulder.

"It's all up to you."

***

The next day, Pei Jing asked someone to send a batch of printed invitations to Yu Shu, only to fill in the names of the invited guests, and then send them out.

Taiheng Chamber of Commerce under the shop north and south department store everything, this invitation is very exquisite, two layers of embossed red paper, the four corners of the paint on the gold powder, in addition to the invitation to the distinguished guests, on the top of the more painted fish leaping dragon gate ink shadow map, scented through the elegant fragrance, in the hand to make people like.

At the time of the banquet, the banquet site was all typeset, and the invitations sent to the distinguished guests were left half free, which needed to be filled by Yu Shu.

Yu Shu's handwriting was difficult to be elegant, and after writing two bad invitations, he lost his pen and stopped doing it, took out the manuscript and continued to memorize her books, and when Yu Xiaoxiu came home from school in the afternoon, he called his companion Bai Ran over.

This kid writes beautifully, and he won't be ashamed to take it out.

"Bai Ran, come here, sit here, how can I say how you write."

Yu Shu leaned on the edge of the table with his back and crossed his arms, the first thing that came to mind was Xue Rui, then Liu Tan and He Lanchou, Feng Zhaomiao, Xin Liu, and one sent to the Xiajiang Annex.

After writing all the acquaintances and distinguished guests, Yu Shu is thinking about inviting some more people she has friends with after entering Beijing, such as the shopkeeper Sun who she met in Qiu Guifang's stall fortune telling, Zhao Da of the Fu'an Dart Bureau and Boss Zhou.

In addition, Pei Jingzao said that there are several big families to invite, and He Fangzhi also has some old friends.

"Sister, and Brother Jing, have you forgotten?" Yu Xiaoxiu lay on the table and watched Bai Ran write, and said a word.

Yu Shu "snorted", how could he forget that there was still Jingchen, but he turned his face with him a few days ago, said a few unpleasant words, and drove people away.

Thinking that she was deliberately dragged into a storm by Shui Yun and almost lost her life, she didn't want Jing Chen to be in a dilemma, she was going to swallow this breath raw, but she couldn't stand Shui Yun's repeated provocations in the air, so she was angry and ready to make a clear statement with Jing Chen, and beat Shui Yun out of her original form, lest she behave in front of Jing Chen, and instigate their relationship in the future.

Yu Shu didn't expect Jing Chen to ask what was going on from Shui Yun's mouth, just waited for him to hit the wall, and then came to her to ask, who knew that there was no news as soon as the nerd left, and there was no word back to her until now, probably because he was tripped by the little junior sister again.

After these two days, Yu Shu'er's anger also disappeared, muttering that she couldn't delay this matter, Jingchen didn't come to her, and she couldn't pull off the princess's mansion on her face, so she just took this opportunity to find people out.

So he knocked on the table and motioned to Bai Ran: "Write it, please Daozi Jingchen." ”

The next day, the invitations were prepared, and some of them were sent to the nearby neighbors by the servants, Xue Rui and Liu Tan sent these letters, and Yu Shu personally sent them.

***

In the evening in the forgetting machine building, Xue Rui took the invitation card handed to him by Yu Shu and looked at it, smiled, shook his head and said:

"You just give me this one, are you underestimating my eldest brother's connections?"

Yu Shu was puzzled, Xue Rui asked her to sit down first, and patiently explained to her the reason:

"Now that you have such a title, your identity is enough, but your face is not enough to talk about, and you are far less than those who have a family background. The Yi Shi in Anling City is secretly fighting fiercely, and if you are as famous as you, your status will inevitably be embarrassing and you will be red-eyed. At present, this banquet is a good opportunity to condense a proper name, the more guests invited, not the more the better, but there are all kinds of roads, even if you can't make friends one by one, with my introduction, at least you can mix a familiar face, and the benefits naturally don't need me to mention more. ”

Yu Shu's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Then I'll go back and get a few more invitations for you." ”

Or she didn't have enough knowledge, and she thought that this banquet could be mixed up, but fortunately, Xue Rui had the heart to sum it up for her.

Xue Rui saw that she was about to leave, and hurriedly stopped, "What's the hurry, it's not too late for you to come back tomorrow." ”

Yu Shu also felt that he was a little anxious, and sat back embarrassed.

"How many more stickers do you have there?" Xue Rui had a wine jug on the table, and he poured a glass himself, but he didn't ask her to drink it.

Yu Shu tried to pull the wine jug from under Xue Rui's hand, and replied, "There are twenty or thirty left." ”

Xue Rui held down the wine jug, calculated it, and said, "Give it to me." ”

Yu Shu hissed and said suspiciously: "Do you want to finish sending so much?" ”

Xue Rui glanced at her, hooked the wine jug with his fingers, shook the cup in one hand, leaned on the armrest, and said lazily: "Dali Temple, Honghu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Academy of Literature, Nanfu Beiya, plus six departments, I can't find a few people." ”

"Hehe," Yu Shu laughed dryly, took advantage of his distraction, grabbed the bottom of the bottle and snatched it, and before he could pour it into the cup, Xue Rui flicked it on the corner of her forehead across the table.

"Bring it, this is Hengshui white liquor, the wine has a strong smell, you drank the smell of alcohol, go back and let the elders smell it, I thought that when I came back to find me, I was drinking and messing around, and I didn't think I was bad."

After speaking, he couldn't help but take the wine jug from her hand and put it far away on another table, so that she would not be allowed to touch it, and he would not drink it.

Yu Shu didn't know that this was the last time she won the championship and asked him to drink, and she was drunk and sent home by him at night, she didn't have anything to do, but He Fangzhi kept Xue Rui drinking tea in the front yard, although he didn't blame him for anything, but he also revealed some dissatisfaction in and out of his words, telling Xue Rui to be vigilant.

Before this son-in-law could do it, he was disgusted by his father-in-law first, where can he succeed.

"Let's go, it's cool in the evening, we don't eat in the restaurant, ask someone to load the food box and take the hot food in the carriage, take a walk near the Chunlan River, and we can walk a little way back, and send you home just to eat."

Xue Rui patted the folds of his clothes, stood up and waved his hand at Yu Shu, and walked out the door.

Yu Shu didn't taste the good wine, he followed his footsteps stupidly, the night outside the building was hazy, the lantern at the corner of the stairs was extinguished at some point, and the vision was unknown, Yu Shu frowned and struggled to identify the steps under his feet, at this time, the figure walking in front suddenly turned around, stood under a few steps of steps, stretched out a palm towards her, and said in a low voice:

"Come with me, don't fall."

Yu Shu's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and she raised her arm and handed it over, and when she reacted again, he had firmly held her wrist, and with a gentle pull, she took a step along the way. At first, she was a little flustered, not used to being controlled by others, but with each step out of the road, she could step on the right steps, so she unloaded her guard layer by layer, and followed his powerful footsteps, out of the darkness, step by step.

When he was almost in a bright place, Xue Rui retracted the smile on the corner of his mouth, quietly, without being noticed by her.
