When someone was talking outside the door, the three of them looked out of the door together, only to see a lotus dew, apricot blossoms and smoke, wearing a white dress, a sandalwood hairpin on the head, a round pearl hanging from it, lightly drawing eyebrows, slightly applying lip red, smiling, and looking like a fairy.

The woman actually didn't speak loudly, and Xia Fengyi passed by the door of the hall, Xia Fengyi looked sideways and smiled at the three people in the hall, but the woman didn't turn around, only concentrating on what to say to Xia Fengyi.

Xu Wei thought that this woman was probably the Xue'er that Xia Fengyi said before, and he wanted Meng Tianchu to introduce him, but he was afraid that the exit would make people feel a little rude and abrupt, so he had to watch the figures of the woman and Xia Fengyi disappear from sight.

After a while, Xia Fengyi walked to the door, but she didn't see the woman following.

Xia Fengyi first smiled at Xu Wei and Sima Ru, and then said to Meng Tianchu: "Xue'er said that she has something to tell you, master, can you be convenient now, master, she is ready to go back." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Why did you come and leave?" At least stay for a few days to accompany the good news. ”

Xia Fengyi: "I said the same thing, but Xue'er has something at home, saying that she will come back in a few days, you see..."

Meng Tianchu stood up and said to Xu Wei and Sima Ru: "I'm really embarrassed, I'll come when I go down." ”

Xu Wei said: "You go, just don't have any other arrangements, I have already set a place in Juxian Building at noon." ”

Meng Tianchu: "That's certain, I'll come when I go." ”

Xu Wei: "Is it a relative of the third lady?" ”

Meng Tianchu remembered that he had not yet introduced Xu Wei and Sima Ru, so he asked Xia Fengyi to call Xue'er to the hall to talk.

Not much. Xia Fengyi came back, smiled and said that Xue'er was embarrassed to come, Meng Tianchu had to get up and leave, Xu Wei was somewhat disappointed in his heart.

Sima Ru saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "What? That lovely person just made Lord Xu tempted? ”

Xu Wei hurriedly concealed his gaffe, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Where did Master Sima go, women are like flowers. If you look good, take a look at it. This is not surprising. The ancestors said it well. A look at the city. Gu Qing Renguo again. Rather than know the city and the country. Beauty is rare. ”

Sima Ru: "No wonder, I found that this old brother Meng is not shallow, although I have only seen the eldest lady, but I almost lost my temper yesterday." The lovely man just now, although he was still holding the pipa and half-covering his face, he could still see some clues, and he was definitely a beautiful person. ”

The two men were talking. I saw Meng Tianchu come over with a smile and said, "I'm really sorry to make the two adults wait for a long time." ”

Xu Wei put down the tea, raised his eyebrows and said with a low smile: "Brother Xian's family is full of beautiful women." ”

Meng Tianchu sat down, first took a sip of tea, then spread his robe with his hand, and said, "That's just Jiayin's godsister." ”

Seeing Xu Wei's stunned look, Sima Ru looked at Meng Tianchu. I didn't notice it. He nodded Xu Wei with his hand, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Your sister is gone?" Don't you want to introduce us to Lord Xu? ”

Meng Tianchu suddenly understood. Oh, he patted his head hard, and laughed: "Look at me, I'm getting more and more stupid." But Cher is gone, so I'll be here in two days. ”

Sima Ru: "I'm afraid some people can't wait for those two days." ”

Xu Wei looked at the ambiguous expressions of Meng Tianchu and Sima Ru, and was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Look at what Lord Sima said, it seems that I, Xu Wei, am a disciple, where is it as urgent as you said." ”

Meng Tianchu only smiled, but he had an idea in his heart, Xue'er has been living in Yulan Village, and she has been looked down upon from time to time, and now the patriarch is still there, and when the patriarch is gone one day, Xue'er has no one to rely on, since Xu Wei has a heart, if it really happens, it can be regarded as finding a support for Xue'er, and he has also achieved a good thing.

Xu Wei: "Okay, it's time to go out to eat, I made an appointment with Master Jian Qi Jian yesterday, let's not be late." ”

Meng Tianchu thought that it was better not to join in this excitement, all the people who went were court officials, which onion was counted, besides, although He Ding's case was revealed, if he didn't give an explanation, Wu Zhe Lao'er would definitely come to find trouble. So he said: "Two adults, I won't go down, and the yamen still has some trivial matters to deal with..."

Xu Wei didn't wait for Meng Tianchu to finish speaking, then waved his hand and said: "In the past, when I was the military advisor of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, I was your brother, and now, do you mean to leave the distance between you and me, for fear of provoking something and saying how you are, right?" ”

Meng Tianchu knew Xu Wei's character, and like himself, he was not a person who could hide his words, so he hurriedly wanted to explain.

Xu Wei: "If you really breached with me Xu Wei at the beginning, then you shouldn't have drilled out a lot of inexplicable thoughts, if you weren't sincere, I, Xu Wei, would leave immediately, and I wouldn't meet people again and say that Meng Tianchu, the master of Renhe County, was my Xu Wei's brother." ”

With that, he got up and left. Meng Tianchu hurriedly stopped, Sima Ru stepped forward, patted Xu Wei's shoulder with a smile and said: "It's probably only now that I can see you Lord Xu angry like a child, it's not unreasonable for Meng Ye to have his considerations, you are too anxious, if you really leave like this, then the good wine and food on the table upstairs in Juxian will be wasted again." ”

Xu Wei was still angry, and said coldly: "How can it be wasted? ”

Sima Ru: "I don't believe that you still eat the ground?" I advise you to be calm, you have invited so many guests today, if everyone looks at your face, then this meal will not be interesting. ”

Then he turned to Meng Tianchu, and looked at him meaningfully, Meng Tianchu understood, and quickly bowed down and said, "Okay, okay, it's good." ”

Xu Wei pointed at Meng Tianchu, then looked at Sima Ru and said: "Look, as soon as I saw him, he didn't look at me Brother Xu, what kind of adult, I really can't help it, does the family still need to be so polite?" ”

Sima Ru immediately said: "That's people's respect for Brother Xu, if you do this again." I, Sima, am going to be upset for Meng Ye, you just have to be unforgiving! ”

When Xu Wei heard it, this was it

laughed, looked at Meng Tianchu, solemnly patted him on the shoulder, and said How can it be a worship, I treat you seriously, and you must treat me seriously. ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but be moved. hurriedly shouted Brother Xu. Lianlian compensation is not.

Sima Ru saw that the two of them were fine. He said, "All right, let's go." ”

The three of them walked out of the hall and saw Xia Fengyi and three young women of the same age sitting under the gazebo and talking softly, doing needlework in their hands.

Sima Ru sighed, and Xu Wei said: "I know what Lord Sima sighed. ”

Sima Ru: "Yes, I just don't understand, is Meng Ye this house itself feng shui is to attract fortune and beauty." Lord Xu, take a look, which of the four women sitting under the pavilion is not Jiao Liyou? ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and did not speak.

Xu Wei said: "I have seen these people, you have also seen the eldest lady, the woman wearing a yellow dress on the left side of the eldest lady is the second lady of the virtuous brother, just now we passed by her yard, because her piano sound stopped." Her father is Lord Diwen of Zhan Shifu. Needless to say, uncle, you know it too. ”

Sima Ru looked over and saw that this woman was indeed gorgeous, although she did not have the dignified and virtuous air of the eldest lady. But it's a little more heroic and coquettish.

Xu Wei: "The one sitting on the right side of the eldest lady is the fourth lady Feiyan, I have a very good impression of the fourth lady, she is a virtuous and virtuous woman, I told Lord Sima that the fourth lady makes a good dish." ”

Sima Ru nodded again and again, it seems that most men are still delicious, or how to say that they want to keep the heart of the man, they must first keep the man's stomach, it seems that men are the same regardless of ancient and modern.

Sima Ru: "Who is the woman in a light blue dress?" I remember that Meng Ye seems to have only four ladies, and the three ladies are definitely not among them. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go." Otherwise, it's too late. ”

Xu Wei: "Look, my virtuous brother is still embarrassed, if I am not mistaken, this Murong girl will probably be the fifth lady of the virtuous brother soon." ”

Sima Ru looked at Meng Tianchu enviously, and laughed at himself: "After seeing Meng Ye's wives, my Sima doesn't want to go back to the capital?" ”

Xu Wei ridiculed: "A gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of people!" Lord Sima, don't move your mind. ”

Sima Ru said with a smile: "Look at where Lord Xu said, I mean to say, none of the three ladies in my family can match the one of the ladies of Meng Ye, and when I go back to see him, isn't it sad and sad?" ”

Meng Tianchu and Xu Wei immediately burst out laughing when they heard this.

Xu Wei: "Okay, okay, as long as you say such a witty thing, let's go." ”

Juxian Building

The shopkeeper saw Meng Tianchu and the other three getting down from the carriage, except for Sima Ru who didn't know, Meng Tianchu and Xu Weidian's second boy were common, although they didn't know that Xu Wei had been promoted, but on weekdays, these two people were ostensibly said to be masters, who didn't know that they were sometimes much more beautiful than the landlords around them, and these were guests who couldn't be offended.

The shopkeeper hurriedly put a clean white handkerchief on his shoulder, revealing a small face, before the person arrived at the door, he had already bowed forward to greet him, and humbly shouted: "Xu Ye and Meng Ye are good, I haven't seen the two masters come to the shop for a few days, it really makes Xiao Er miss it very much." ”

Meng Tianchu pointed at Xu Wei and said, "Now you can't call you a master, you have to call an adult, you know?" And the one next to him is Lord Sima, so I haven't seen it yet. Although Meng Tianchu didn't say why he was called an adult, but how smart a person the shopkeeper is, take a closer look, Xu Wei's dress is indeed slightly different from the past, and the jade plate on his waist has already explained the identity of the owner, which is not the same.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Oh, it's a little clumsiness, and I hope Lord Xu and Master Sima will forgive me." ”

Xu Wei and Sima Ru waved their hands gently, and the shopkeeper hurriedly welcomed the three of them to the private room upstairs.

Xu Wei: "I decided on the location yesterday, have you arranged it?" ”

Shopkeeper: "Okay, okay, don't worry, Lord Xu, we also posted a post early in the morning to invite the people you asked us to invite." ”

Xu Wei sat down, cocked Erlang's legs, put down the robe in a chic manner, and said slowly: "The time is not wrong, in addition, the dishes must be of high grade, you know the people I invited today, if you don't have fun, I will ask you." ”

The shopkeeper nodded tremblingly, and after serving the tea for the three of them, he said carefully: "Lord Jian, the political envoy of the right Bu, Lord Cheng, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Lord Ke, and Lord Song, the political envoy of the left Bu, and Lord Tongzhi Sun, I will send the post down." Please rest assured. ”

This is the rule in Hangzhou, it doesn't matter if you send someone to post yourself, you have to send someone from the restaurant to post again to show your grandeur.

Meng Tianchu secretly thought, today's guests really have a lot of background, listening to the meaning of the shopkeeper, even Cai Zhao has no share, it seems that Xu Wei really regards himself as his own family.

Xu Wei: "Then you go down and prepare, when Lord Cheng comes, tell me, and I will go down to pick it up in person." ”

After all, he was the former master, Xu Wei naturally couldn't forget the grace of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, as for others, he didn't bother to care, although Jian Qi is now relying on his niece to be powerful, but who doesn't know that a man's love for women is shorter than the blooming flowers, so there is no need to flatter him at all.

The three of them drank tea upstairs, and they were bored, they had already drunk a lot in Meng Tianchu's house before, and although this tea was the best Longjing in Juxian Building, it was not as good as the new tea that Meng Tianchu's family bought directly from Yunnan.

Sima Ru: "I thought it would be late, but it was still early, so let's go to the balcony outside to sit and sit cooler." ”

The outside that Sima Ru said is actually the balcony on the second floor, which is equivalent to a modern balcony.

When Meng Tianchu and Xu Wei heard it, they both felt that the proposal was very good, so they got up and came to the top of the platform.

The three of them sat down, just in time to see the scenery of West Lake, but there were very few people in the market outside, and it was the hottest time of the day, and no one wanted to come back at this time to see what scenery.
