The father smiled and said, "Since we are friends, please come in." ”

I only heard the little guy reply, "But there is no such person on the list in the house, and the little one is also angry, and he doesn't dare to make his own decisions, so he can only ask the master to show it." ”

"You go to the good life, please come!"

"Yes!"

I saw that the little guy ran out of smoke, I saw that this was not the best time to slip away, so I had to sit down peacefully, I was talking to Yu Yi, only to hear a sudden uproar around, looked up and was shocked.

Just now, the little guy brought in a son, who was dressed in white, with an upright posture, indifferent between his eyebrows, and a shallow smile in his eyes.

This person is not someone else, but Lian Gongzi.

I saw Gongzi Lian come forward and smile at his father, "Today, Master Ye is on his birthday, I am uninvited, it is really abrupt." I don't know what Master Ye likes, so I prepared five or six holy grasses from the Western Regions and gave them as a congratulatory gift. ”

There was an uproar at the banquet again, the holy grass of the Western Regions is a tribute to the country in the Western Regions over the years, this grass is precious, it is not easy to grow, and it is not easy to pick, it can only be offered to one plant in two or three years, and he has five or six plants in his hand, which shows that the origin is not small.

After speaking, a little guy walked out from behind him, holding a congratulatory gift in his hand and stepped forward, his father was puzzled, "Childe and I don't know each other, how can I accept your gift, just now the little guy said that a friend came to ask to see, and I have no negotiation with Childe, dare to ask Childe's surname, where does this friend's name come from?" ”

"I don't dare to be a big name, I'm just a little girl in the Qingzhu Courtyard, Miss Chengye doesn't give up and makes friends. I heard that Master Ye was doing a birthday, and the time was pressing, so I didn't have time to deliver the post, so I asked to see him directly, so abrupt, I hope Master Ye will forgive me. ”

The banquet was instantly quiet, and a lot of eyes swept towards me, I looked up to see my mother, only to see that my mother's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, my father was stunned in place, and Erniang saw that the situation was not good, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, this gift is too heavy, how do we accept it, if the son is not busy, you can sit down and have a glass of wine together." ”

I was panicking in my heart, only to feel a chill behind me, the chill along my spine all the way to the back of the head, I looked up, only to see the fox lazily leaning on the table, although there was a smile in the eyes, but the smile did not reach the bottom of the eyes, the peach blossom fan has been put away, in the hand of a pair of knocks.

It seemed to feel that I was looking at her, raised her eyes to glance at me, and suddenly laughed, and the mocking sneer made me shiver, and I was puzzled, and I looked at him in the past, and instantly understood everything.

Lian Gongzi wears a jade pendant around his waist, the size of a palm, and a style inlaid with gold and jade. There is also a lotus flower carved on it, which is exquisitely carved and lifelike. Jade species are rare and hard to find in the world.

What Lian Gongzi brought was the stone crisp mountain gold inlaid jade pendant that the fox gave me before.

The chill around me became heavier and heavier, and my heart trembled like a helpless person falling into the abyss. I kept comforting myself that it was he who said it, let me deal with it myself, give it away, throw it away, I just acted according to his words, I can't really be angry with me!

I only heard Lian Gongzi smile lightly, "Thank you for the kindness of the second lady, but I can't help myself, I can only be independent in my words and deeds, just eat and drink." It's just that this gift is a piece of my heart for my uncle, and there is nothing to say that I can't afford to bear, so I will leave here! ”

Erniang instructed the little girl to send it away, and said some jokes, which almost broke up the atmosphere that was almost solidified, and the mother's face eased a lot, and the father said something more along with Erniang's words, and there was laughter at the banquet, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

I buried in the tea cup and ate tea vigorously, I wanted the whole person to get into the cup to hide, Yu Yi pulled my sleeve, signaling that it was time for me to withdraw, I looked left and right, and found that the fox's seat was empty, others did not know when to leave, the loss and uneasiness in my heart could not be dispersed for a long time, this fox was not really angry with me!

I slipped out of the birthday banquet quietly, and Yu Yi also slipped out later, and the people in the house were busy with the birthday banquet, and there were two small people watching at the door, and they were still chatting with melon seeds in one place.

The two of us quietly slipped out of the door, and the little guy in Yu Yifu was sitting in the carriage basking in the sun, and when he saw Yu Yi coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Oops! My lord, why did you come out at this time, didn't this banquet just start! ”

"What so much nonsense, drive quickly!"

I snuggled in the carriage for a while, and finally cleared my head, I hugged my head and asked Yu Yi, "Just now, how do you look at my father and mother's face!" ”

Yu Yi thought about it, pinched his handkerchief and smiled, "It's okay!" It's a little darker than the bottom of the pot! ”

"I'm dead, I'm dead. But that's nothing! Lian Gongzi is an exception from his background, and nothing else is worse than his sons in Beijing, their thinking is really old-fashioned! ”

Yu Yi wrapped his handkerchief, shook his head and said, "You really can't say that this matter is old-fashioned uncle and aunt, although now that the national style is open, it is common for everyone to have a confidant, but if you think about it carefully, who is not hiding this kind of confidant, dare to say it on the bright side!" This is true even of the Holy Beings today. I remember that there was a rumor in the palace, saying that His Majesty had a love affair with a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River, and wanted to receive the concubine in the palace, but Lafayette disagreed, and then went around a few circles, changed his identity, changed his name, and was able to take him back to the palace. What you don't even dare to do today's saints, you actually did it, what a hero! ”

"You still dare to tease me, you don't think about it, my father didn't pull out my skin after today's birthday banquet."

"Uncle Ye, you don't have to worry so much, after all, blood is thicker than water, and no matter how angry you are, you won't want your life, you should be worried about so many pairs of eyes today, if someone spreads it, your reputation will be damaged!"

"I never care what other people say, anyway, I can't care what the tongue says. It's just that my mother is just the opposite of me, and now she is pregnant, in case I get angry, wouldn't my sin be great! ”

"This is indeed a problem, however, your second mother is a transparent person, she is very close to your mother, she should know how to explain Aunt Ye, with her by her side to persuade her, Aunt Ye will soon be angry. When that boy came today, he inadvertently did you a favor. ”

I asked, confused, "What's the hurry!" ”

"Silly you! The reason why you are dressed up to attend today is not because Uncle Ye and they want you to choose a husband who is pleasing to the eye. As soon as that son comes today, who dares to propose marriage to Uncle Ye, those individuals live on face, and if you don't say anything, you will also criticize you in your heart. Uncle Ye can also understand it. In this way, your marriage can be pushed back, isn't it just what you want! ”

"Indeed, I almost forgot about it!"

Yu Yi pulled the handkerchief, smiled coquettishly, lowered his head shyly and said, "In this way, it not only meets your mind, but also solves my heart." ”

I poked my head out and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Yu Yi took a handkerchief to hide his face and smiled, and said embarrassedly, "Originally, I was worried, not only worried about whether you would fall in love with a son-in-law at first sight at the banquet, but also worried about which powerful son-in-law would take a fancy to you, and finally worried about whether Uncle Ye would casually point you to a son-in-law who would make him happy." I was worried about what should have happened and what shouldn't have happened, and I couldn't let go of it for a moment. Okay now, no one will rob you with me now, and when Uncle Ye is angry, I will let my father go to the door to propose his relatives, what do you say? ”

I nodded in agreement, "Yes! When the time comes, I will ride a horse in a wedding dress to pick you up, you will wait for me in the house with a hijab, and after we get married, we will go incognito to the rivers and lakes, meet the mountains and cross the mountains, meet the water and cross the water, and finally choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down. Let's work at sunrise and rest at sunset just like ordinary people, how! ”

Yu Yi and I have known each other for many years, and the proposal has not been mentioned more than 9,000 times 100,000 times, at first I thought he was serious, but after a long time, I realized that he was just joking with me.

Yu Yi gave me a blank look and said, "I'm serious!" ”

I clutched my chest and emphasized, "I'm serious too." ”

Yu Yi shook his handkerchief, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

I lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, and some vendors were already setting up stalls on both sides of the street, and I asked without looking back, "Where are we going?" ”

"Yu Fu."

"What are you doing back home?"

Yu Yi's sigh came from behind him, "Change your old man's clothes!" Otherwise, are you going to play in this outfit? ”

"Don't!"

Come over for a while, the carriage trembled and then stopped, Yu Yi got off the car first, I followed Yu Yi into the Yu Mansion together, the little maids and maids who cleaned in the house stared at me with round eyes, I was looked at uncomfortable, secretly hiding behind a person, Yu Yi noticed it happily cocked the orchid and pointed to the people in the house.

"Look at what! Look at what it looks like to scare people, this is the future young grandmother, and you will see it after passing the door, hiss! ”

I withdrew my hand from Yu Yi's arm, smiled as if warning, and took a step forward to the main hall. Yu Yi grinned and rubbed his arms, hurriedly took two steps to catch me, told the housekeeper to prepare some pastries and send them, and asked the personal servant to fetch a set of clothes.

I rarely come to Yu Mansion to play, are all in a fart to go to Ye Mansion to find me, the last time I came to Yu Mansion was two years ago, I looked at the Ye Mansion in the maid and wife than in the past, so I asked Yu Yi why to place so many people at home, the master of the house left and right on him and his father, there are too many people, and the city of Kyoto is not as good as other places, people outside are waiting with red eyes to say right and wrong, isn't this to the crest of the waves?

Yu Yi explained to me that these sons and daughters-in-law were not bought from outside, but because the current Shengshanglong was not in good health, and the palace was released from the yin, these people were sold into the palace since childhood, ruthless, reliable, and homeless.

His father-in-law took the initiative to take them in, and he also put down his words, saying that as long as he found his family or wanted to get married, he could leave at any time. If you can't find it and just want to find a place to live, just stay in the house.

Yu Yi's father also instructed Yu Yi, saying that these people would pay a day's money in the palace, and if anyone wanted to leave, they would have to prepare enough entanglement for them, saying that everyone was already working hard as slaves and maids in the palace, and now that they are out of the palace, they must not be treated badly.

I heard a shock in my heart, Yu Yi's father is really a terrible character, these words are those princes and princes may not be able to say, this righteousness and open-mindedness are not comparable to ordinary people, no wonder it will be respected by everyone in the rivers and lakes,

The little guy took a set of clothes and ran in from outside, and said with a smile, "Young master, Miss Ye, the clothes are taken, Miss Ye, you can still see if you can still fit your eyes, if you don't like it, the small ones will pick up a few sets for you." ”

I looked at it, nodded and said, "No, this is it!" You're a clever one, and the clothes you choose are just what I want, the colors are not ostentatious, and the styles are simple. Yu Yi, this kid next to you is very clever and really discerning. ”

Yu Yi pursed his lips and smiled, and said to the little guy, "Did you hear it, Miss Ye praised you!" I've been with Zhen Zhen for many years, and I don't necessarily have her praise me for half a word, but you have come forward to get good words, which is really blessed. ”

"Thank you Miss Ye for your love!"

Yu Yi smiled and said, "Come on!" For the sake of this rejoicing, go down to the steward and receive the reward. ”

"Young Master Xie!"

"Little peach, green branch."

Two little maids walked in and asked, "Young Master, what did you call us?" ”

Yu Yi smiled and said, "You serve Miss Ye to change your clothes." ”

"Yes."

The two little maids stepped forward, and the girl named Green Branch picked up the clothes placed on the side, saluted me with a smile, and said, "Miss Ye, please come with me." ”

I went to the cabinet with them, and changed the ice silk blue feather skirt, and the little guy brought a placket rain gauze dress, which was extremely comfortable to wear, and it fit much better than the clothes brought by Erniang.

Today is the dragon raised its head, many hawkers in the streets and alleys set up sheds, enclosed the territory, and the performers placed their big knives and spears at the corner of the street early, and those vendors who sold pastries and pear soup prepared charcoal fires and tables and stools in advance, shouting and selling high and low.

I ate with Yu Yi from the street to the end of the street, both with round stomachs and hiccups, Yu Yi's brain melon seeds are naturally better than me, the lantern riddle is a guess and an accurate, the vendor who sets up the lantern stall is depressed when he sees us every year, we will win away the water lantern on his stall finale, without the gift of the finale, there will not be so many people willing to stay in front of his stall.

The two of us ran to the water's edge with a half-meter-high lotus lantern diameter, there is a wishing stall set by Cai Bo by the water, there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the stall, you can write down your wishes, fold them into a small square and hide them in the lantern, and when the lights in the lamp are burned out, the paper will be burned out together, meaning that your wishes can go up to nine days, and the immortals will receive your expectations and then realize your wishes for you.

Cai Bo is an old talent, because of his age, he has long lost the heart to gain fame, and he writes letters and paints landscapes and birds on weekdays, and his life is very comfortable. He is very good, and on a good day like today, he doesn't take anything for what he writes. If you are illiterate, come to his stall and he will take the initiative to write down your wishes for you.

"Cai Bo!"

Cai Bozheng bowed his head to ghostwrite for others, and when he heard Yu Yi shouting at him, he didn't raise his head and said, "Yu boy is here again, there is pen and paper here, you can do whatever you want, you can do it yourself, the old man is busy this time, and he can't take care of you!" "Because we come every year, Cai Bo and we are already very familiar with us.

Yu Yi took the pen and paper, wrote down his wish and handed the pen to me, in previous years I wrote the most is to hope that my parents are well, the family is happy two sentences, and this year I added a new sentence, jade thin paper, written two small wishes.

May my family be safe and healthy, and you know my intentions.

Yu Yi and I folded our wishes into small squares and put them together in the lantern, and the huge lotus lantern gradually faded away with the water waves, and finally floated into the night, and the bright lamp trembled in the dark night, and then completely disappeared in the darkness.

Yu Yi and I calculated that the birthday banquet at this time was over, so we let the kid drive back to Yefu, and when I arrived at the main gate, I didn't dare to go in, so I let the carriage turn around and quietly entered through the back door.

I didn't dare to go back to the room from the avenue, I went around a lot of small roads and entered the house, as soon as I entered the room, I noticed that something was wrong, there was a faint trace of cold sandalwood in the dark light of the room, the strange and familiar smell made me shiver, I rubbed my eyes and groped for candles in the darkness where I couldn't see my fingers, and suddenly felt a piece of sleeve, the fragrance was clearer.
