Chapter 13: In the Late Spring Feast

Qi Changxin listened to it on the sidelines, mocking himself in his heart, he was high and arrogant, not very high-minded, and he was able to see himself in the end.

Although the conversation between Qi Changge and Pan Qingyue was small, the young man who lowered his eyes was very deaf, and he also listened to a word, and his heart was relieved, but he was also a little lost.

Drowning 3,000, I should have only taken a scoop to drink, but I was not good at drinking, is it a good person, or a person I like?

Thinking like this, the young man who stroked the qin was a little inattentive, but fortunately, the minds of the people present were not on this pinyin, but on the minds of three or three, and they were more focused on Miss Childe.

It didn't take long for Lu Qingxun to close the folding fan, get up from the banquet, come to Qi Changge and ask: "Miss Qi, Qingxun heard that the scenery of Xiangfu Garden is beautiful, and it is now the solar term when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, can you have the honor to watch it together?" ”

And Pan Qingyue, who was sitting next to Qi Changge, pulled the handkerchief tightly in his hand, and was very unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled at Qi Changge and said: "This peach blossom was still cut and planted when my father married my mother, and my mother cherished it very much, and I ordered the people in the house to take care of it day and night, so Sister Qi might as well go to the garden with Lu Gongzi." ”

Qi Changxin and Pan Qingyue have the same psychology at this time, but they are still a little jealous that Qi Changge is favored by the audience, not to mention that at the beginning of the banquet, Lu Qingxun, who is a famous person in Huaishui City, was invited.

Qi Changxin couldn't help but stab Qi Changge's words to Lu Qingxun: "Lu Gongzi's kind invitation is really a blessing for Changge's sister, but my third sister is used to treating people with dignity on weekdays, I'm afraid I will feel that it is unreasonable." ”

At this time, Pan Qingyue also echoed: "On weekdays, I have heard that the third lady of the Qi family treats people dignifiedly, and often rejects some admirers. ”

Qi Changge was not annoyed by Qi Changxin and Pan Qingyue's stinging words, hooked his lips and smiled, and said to Lu Qingxun with a dignified face: "What Sister Changxin and Miss Pan said is that men and women are not clear about their teaching, not to mention that this garden has the affection of the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife. ”

Lu Qingxun was slightly embarrassed to hold the folding fan and arched his hand: "It's abrupt." ”

"How can it be, Mr. Lu is not rude, and his words and deeds are also polite to me." Qi Changge still said with a smile on his face.

"That's very good." Lu Qingxun walked back to his original seat and sat down, but he felt a little more disappointed.

Xie Mingyu drank the wine in the cup, propped his elbows on the table, propped his head on his side, raised his eyebrows and said wildly to Lu Qingxun: "The so-called goddess has no heart, the king has a dream, Ziming, this third lady of Qi is cold and arrogant, not your lover." ”

Lu Qingxun also knew that there were many sons who admired Miss Qi San, but he also thought about retreating from the end, and he didn't know what love at first sight was, but then he knew that although he was not deeply involved in it, he couldn't extricate himself.

Lu Qingxun sighed slightly and said to Xie Mingyu: "Mingyu, you don't know what love at first sight is, but as soon as I saw Miss Qi San that day, I knew what love at first sight was!" ”

"There are a few beauties in this world, but there are few people who are beautiful and soulful, Ziming, what you said about love at first sight, and I am just a show." Xie Mingyu picked up the silver kettle and poured himself a drink.

And Qi Changxin and Pan Qingyue waited for Lu Qing to find their seats, and they both said to Qi Changge: "Sister Changge/Miss Qi, it's not good to be conscious, we are abrupt." ”

Qi Changge didn't care much and replied in a gentle voice: "How can it be, thank you to the two sisters for praising me for being dignified and polite." ”

Qi Changge really didn't think there was anything, just now the invitation of the son of the Lu family, Qi Changge didn't know how to shirk it, it just so happened that the words of the second sister and Miss Pan found a good excuse.

"That's very good." Qi Changxin and Pan Qingyue chatted on their faces, and both replied softly.

And when the young man who stroked the qin just listened to Lu Qingxun's invitation, he was distracted, and when he stroked the qin, he almost cut his finger on the strings.

At this time, Xie Mingyu's side was lively, the third lady of the Zhou family this week, but she was a well-known admirer of the Xie family's son in Huaishui City.

No, I saw Miss Wednesday, Zhou Haitang, with the support of the maid, walking with a weak willow and a small step of golden lotus, with only a golden step on his head and a few rose-red flowers, and walked towards Xie Mingyu.

Coming to Xie Mingyu's seat, Wen Wan bent down and saluted: "I have heard that Gongzi Xie likes to be beautiful, but I don't know that Miss Ben can enter the eyes of Gongzi?" ”

Xie Mingyu looked at Zhou Haitang's pitiful appearance, stuffing red rouge on his face and drawing his lips, the plump body he saw some time ago was also a lot more slender, especially the thin waist that Yingying held in his hand.

Xie Mingyu got up unhurriedly, looked at Zhou Haitang, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou can be described as a fat and thin, and she can occupy a name. ”

Although Xie Mingyu said this, there were one or two sons of the family who were happy to see it, Zhou Haitang was unwilling to accept Xie Mingyu's vague words, and asked: "Then the sons of the Xie family think that among the young ladies here, which one can be eyed?" ”

As soon as Zhou Haitang said this, all the ladies present sat upright, with their heads held high, and no matter whether Xie Mingyu saw it or not, one or two of them threw flattering eyes at Xie Mingyu, and they all saw that all the sons had no taste in their hearts.

Xie Mingyu didn't dare to be angry, for fear that there would be no good fruit to eat in the future and offend people, so he had to curry favor and said: "Which young lady here is not a beautiful beauty." ”

Although these words also made the young ladies present not so satisfied, they did not offend anyone, Pan Qingyue, as the master, could not allow Zhou Haitang to mess around like this.

When Zhou Haitang was about to speak, Pan Qingyue got up from his seat and said to Zhou Haitang after cutting off the topic: "Miss Zhou, who is weak and supportive, must be a little tired, why don't you go down and sit for a while?" ”

Zhou Haitang is also an interesting person, after all, today is the late spring banquet, and he can't disturb the atmosphere of the young ladies and young masters because of his selfishness, so he also saluted Pan Qingyue and said: "It's me who is abrupt, please don't blame." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Haitang relied on the support of the maid on his side, walked down with the steps of Ruoliu Fufeng and sat down in the third seat.

Pan Qingyue also sat back on the table, and all the sons and ladies with heads and faces also arrived almost now, and the prime minister's wife and an old lady from a respected German hairpin family walked in and sat in the chief seat.

And the song that was originally a phoenix has also changed into mountains and flowing water, and the old lady was also a woman of the world who was accustomed to elegance when she was young, and she was not surprised to praise when she heard this: "This song is also played to the point of interest." ”

"The old lady praised Miao, today's late spring banquet, the concubine invited a well-known pianist in the Huanlou to help the fun." Mrs. Prime Minister, Yan Rong sat on the table under the old lady and replied.

"I also have a heart." The old lady smiled kindly, looked at these young and delicate, handsome and plump faces, and sighed casually: "It's been decades since I was in a hurry, and the old body was sitting at the table like you juniors that day!" ”

Yan Rong also replied to the old lady: "No, the concubine body was also more than ten years ago, sitting at the table, this day is like flowing water, and half a load has passed in the blink of an eye." ”

The old lady said charitantly: "Today's old body is the matchmaker, if you juniors take a fancy to it, just tell the old body, and the old body will protect the media." ”

"It is also the luck of these juniors to be able to get the old lady's protection, the old lady has protected fifty couples so far, and each one is happy." Yan Rong followed the old lady's words and looked at Pan Qingyue hintly.

When Pan Qingyue was about to get up to answer his mother's words, Zhou Haitang said first: "Old lady, the little woman has taken a fancy to the son of the Xie family, Xie Mingyu, I implore the old lady to protect the media!" ”

After Zhou Haitang finished speaking, he walked out with the help of the maid on his side, and in front of the hall, he curtsied to the old lady and Yan Rong and said: "The little woman is abrupt in front of the hall, please don't blame the old lady and the prime minister's wife." ”

The old lady saw that Zhou Haitang's facial features were very good, although the chin was not so round, a little like a melon seed face, it looked pitiful and painful, but it was also worthy of the Xie family.

The old lady has also heard a little about the rumors of the past few days, and this girl has a good temperament.

It's just that the old lady also understands that this Xie family kid is also famous for his preference for beauty, this matchmaker is a pair of lovers, not a pair of resentful couples, you have to be willing to do it.

The old lady called Zhou Haitang up and said, "Miss Zhou, you get up first." Then he turned to look at Xie Mingyu and said, "Kid of the Xie family, Miss Zhou wants to marry you, do you have a heart?" ”

The old lady's sentence of marrying you as his wife made Zhou Haitang blush, and also made the young ladies present look at it and laugh, I don't know who whispered: "Look at Miss Zhou's blushing face, she really loves Gongzi Xie, if you teach me this, it's really difficult to go for love!" ”

However, everyone bit their ears and whispered about it, and so on: "Brother Xie is also a good blessing, there is a woman who loves him so much, if he is hired as a wife, he must be a husband and wife who raise their eyebrows." ", "Miss Zhou is also surrounded by several sons who are pursued, but it is rare to love Gongzi Xie so much. ”

Xie Mingyu got up, heard the words of the old lady, and hesitated a little, and although the remarks on the side were small, Xie Mingyu could hear them a little.

Looking at Zhou Haitang's delicate face, Xie Mingyu wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear to lose the face of Miss Zhou's family in front of everyone, for fear that it would affect Miss Zhou's marriage in the future.

Xie Mingyu didn't like Zhou Haitang, because he had a different feeling, which was different from the beautiful things he admired on weekdays, but what kind of feeling Xie Mingyu could not say.

Seeing the kid of the Xie family standing there, like a wooden stake, the old lady simply asked Xie Mingyu to come up to the hall and beckoned: "Boy Xie, come forward!" ”

Xie Mingyu stepped forward as he said and said to the old lady and the prime minister's wife: "The kid has seen the old lady and the prime minister's wife. Then he hugged his fist at Zhou Haitang and said, "I've seen Miss Zhou next, it's polite." ”

Zhou Haitang felt that his face was burning, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't dare to meet Xie Mingyu's eyes that looked like fox eyes, and his hands were a little flustered, and he bowed back and said, "Gongzi Xie is polite, Gongzi Xie." ”
