The wedding banquet is placed in the main hall of the courtyard and the side halls on both sides, so after Wang Kunjun left the table, he went out of the main hall and came to the courtyard along the corridors on both sides. There are five main rooms in the back courtyard, and there are wing rooms and ear rooms on both sides. In the middle of the main room, a small conference room was used for committee meetings, with two rooms on the left being Wang Kunjun's residence and two rooms on the right being Li Junwu's residence.

After Wang Kunjun solved his gastrointestinal problems in the thatched toilet in the backyard, he did not immediately return to the banquet in front of him, but drank a few sips of tea in his room to relieve his hangover.

After resting for a while, Wang Kunjun felt better, thinking that his mother-in-law's master couldn't leave the banquet for too long, so he tidied up the clothes on his body, came out of the house, and prepared to return to the banquet in front. At this time, I saw a woman walking out of the east cross courtyard next to him, it was the little sister of the Han family, Han Qingwen, whom he had just talked to Zhang Weixin about.

Han Qingwen obviously didn't expect to meet someone here, and when she saw Wang Kunjun at first glance, she was shocked at first. After seeing that he was the cousin of the groom's official, he hurriedly blessed him, and said with a little embarrassment: "It turned out to be the head of the king, and the little girl is so polite." ”

Wang Kunjun also recovered from a short stunned moment at this time, and said politely: "Miss Han doesn't need to be polite, she is just a Taoist priest who has returned the vulgarity, a common people, where do you dare to call any leader, Miss Han can directly call her name." ”

Han Qingwen said: "Leader Wang is too modest. The little woman heard from her uncle that the leader of the king and your companions were all men of great talent. You are the leader of these dozens of returnees, and it is appropriate to call you the leader. ”

Wang Kunjun continued to humbly say: "Miss Han is overrated. Our overseas returnees are just ordinary people, and the so-called great talent is just a false praise from Zhong Yuan, and we really dare not be. Moreover, all of us are brothers, there is no distinction between high and low, this title of leader is just a miscommunication, Miss Han can call her name directly. ”

Han Qingwen shook her head and said, "How can it be done." The leader of the king is more than ten years older than the little girl, and he is almost ready to be the elder of the little girl. Besides, even if it is counted from Ziqi's sister, the leader of the king is also the brother of the little woman, how can he call you by your name. ”

Seeing that Han Qingwen was still polite, Wang Kunjun didn't think much about it, and said with a grin: "In this case, then according to what the girl said, just call Brother Wang in the next voice, or call Brother Wang and Brother Kunjun, don't mention any leader or not." ”

When he finished speaking, he also reacted and felt that it was a bit of a misnomer. In this era, it doesn't seem appropriate to talk about brothers and sisters with little girls who have not been out of the cabinet. But if you say it, it's like spilled water, and it's too late to recycle it. Seeing Han Qingwen's pretty face flushing, this originally harmonious conversation was about to end in embarrassment, Wang Kunjun hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Cough, that, why didn't Miss Han drink the banquet in front, but the food was not appetizing?" ”

Han Qingwen, who was a little embarrassed by Wang Kunjun's brainless words, saw that the other party had changed the topic with interest, so she got off the donkey down the slope and waved her hand: "No, no." The meal was very delicious, but the banquet was noisy in front of it, and the little woman was more quiet, so she felt a little bored. Just now, I asked Sister Ziqi about Wang ...... There is a small garden in the backyard of Brother Wang's house, so I want to come here to breathe and be quiet. ”

Wang Kunjun saw that the other party did not leave the table because of poor hospitality, so he was relieved. Originally, the east cross courtyard of this "quiet garden" was not built as a house for residence, but was transformed into a small garden. Some trees and flowers were planted in it, a small pavilion was built, and a small pond was dug. When the weather is warm, it is lush and green, and in the summer, it is even cooler. It's just that it's winter, the trees and flowers have basically withered, and the small pond is frozen, so there's really nothing to see. It is estimated that this little sister of the Han family also felt bored, so she came out of the garden.

So, Wang Kunjun said again: "I see. It's just that it's the middle of winter, and there's really nothing to play in this small garden, so I think Miss Han feels bored. ”

Han Qingwen said a little embarrassed: "That's not it." Although this small garden is not large, the scenery design everywhere is just right, and I think it is the work of a famous architect. Although it is winter, I can also taste a different artistic conception. The little woman had planned to watch it for a while, but it was just ......, but the little woman was in a hurry from the banquet just now, and she didn't wear a thicker dress to keep out the cold. At this moment, I felt a little cold, and I wanted to go back to the banquet to get a coat to wear. ”

Only then did Wang Kunjun understand what was going on, and then look at the little sister of the Han family, who was indeed not wearing much. The slender body trembled slightly in the cold wind, and the little nose was also red from the cold, looking pitiful. The great leader of the king, who had always been pitiful and cherished the jade, immediately overflowed with sympathy, and began to speak without thinking anymore, and waved his big hand: "It's the middle of winter, even if you put on your coat, it won't be warm to stay in that uncovered garden. Miss Han doesn't like the noise at the banquet, so she might as well sit in the meeting room of our brothers. It's warm and there's plenty of gadgets to play with. ”

The little sister of the Han family was obviously interested in his proposal, but also a little hesitant, after all, it was not suitable for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room. However, as a relative of the Zhong family and Zhong Ziqi's best friend, Han Qingwen has long heard her cousin talk about these strange people who have returned from overseas. Zhong Ziqi told her many so-called legendary stories that they had heard from Wang Feng and that they had experienced overseas. Although Han Qingwen was born in a family of eunuchs, with dignified manners and a quiet personality, she is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all, and she is naturally full of curiosity about these unusual outsiders, hoping to contact them and understand their experiences and talents. Besides, although the leader of the king in front of him is not very handsome, he is a harmless and kind appearance, and he doesn't look like a villain who seduces a girl from a good family.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he asked with some concern: "Although Brother Wang's proposal is good, but Brother Wang is the master of the groom's family, and he has been away from the table for a long time, aren't you afraid that the guests will say that you are not well entertained?" ”

Wang Kunjun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Miss Han doesn't have to worry. Because I live overseas for a long time, I am not familiar with the etiquette of the Central Plains. Therefore, many etiquette things are Zhong Yuanwai and the next brother who knows more about the customs of the Central Plains are entertaining, and even if he is present, he will not help much, but is prone to mistakes. Even if he returned to the banquet, he was just being pulled and drunk. You don't know, but those brothers below must have discussed it today, and they will never give up until they lie down. For the sake of the lower body, it is better not to go back. ”,

Wang Kunjun's words, coupled with his deliberately slightly exaggerated expression, made the little sister of the Han family can't help but laugh "poof", and then she felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands. This well-behaved appearance with a clever smile made Wang Kunjun feel like a heartbeat for the first time since he crossed over.

Previously, for various reasons, there were very few women who could be contacted by the crossing crowd. In addition to the four ladies who crossed together, there were only the little sisters of the Zhong family and the Yang sisters. Due to the fact that there are many monks and few porridges, coupled with the longing for his beloved wife, Wang Kunjun has no special feelings for these women, let alone the idea of pursuing. Even Yang Xiaoyun, who can be called "sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers", only had an amazing feeling when he first saw him. However, it's just amazing. After the two sides started talking, the feeling quickly faded until it disappeared. After that, he thought more about the impact of this woman on the team, and what pros and cons the team members would associate with. It can be said that Wang Kunjun's mind is now focused on work, and he cares about the emotional problems of other team members far more than his own emotional problems.

However, today was different, first he met Han Qingwen and then talked to him to feel comfortable, and then he said some things that were not brainstorming one after another. At this time, I was even more touched by the other party's laughter, which made the heart that was almost as calm as water for men and women set off waves. This feeling was both strange and familiar to him, and at the same time a little hesitant. It's strange because it hasn't been seen since it crossed. I say familiar because in my previous life, from falling in love to getting married, and even in the past few years after marriage, this feeling will often appear in the face of my lover. He said hesitant because this feeling came so suddenly, that he was a little unsure whether it was loyalty at first sight or a primitive impulse.

The little sister of the Han family didn't notice Wang Kunjun's abnormality, she was waiting for the other party to show her the way. This gave Wang Kunjun a chance to hide his gaffe, he hurriedly retracted his mind, calmed down his emotions, and decided that everything should follow his feelings. So, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Miss Han, please come down." ”

Han Qingwen followed Wang Kunjun into the conference room, and saw that the furnishings in the spacious room were very simple. There is a rectangular table in the middle, with some paper and pen and other supplies on it, and five chairs around the table, which should be the place where the meeting was held. It's also simple and intimate. It seems that what Brother Wang Shi said just now is that these people are like brothers, and it is not a lie that everyone is on an equal footing.

On the wall facing this rectangular table, there is a large tiger character. The font is strong, the pen is profound, and there is really a feeling of tiger and tiger, presumably it is written by a famous artist. There were also two square tables on each side of the room, on which were placed Go, Xiangqi, and some other pieces of paper, wooden blocks, and small balls that could not be named and whose purpose were unknown, and which were probably all kinds of gadgets that Wang Shige said. There are two chairs next to each square table, which are supposed to be for gamblers. Originally, these square tables were placed in the side hall of the Zhongjin Yuan, as the usual entertainment and leisure of the people, but today because there is a wedding banquet there, so they are temporarily placed in the conference room of the committee. In addition, several large charcoal braziers are burned around the room, which bakes the room extremely warm.

The servant who had been taking care of him here saw that his master was coming, and he hurried over to say hello. After Wang Kunjun instructed him to bring in a pot of tea, he asked him to take care of it elsewhere and call him again if he had something. The servant agreed, and Wang Kunjun led Han Qingwen to the square tables on both sides to look at it, and introduced the various chess games and other games on the table to her.

Among them, Go and Xiangqi needless to say, Han Qingwen knows them, and this little sister's Go level is not low. She was curious about the new games that she didn't know and were called checkers, mahjong, playing cards, and so on by Wang Kunjun that she had never heard of before. After listening to Wang Kunjun explain the rules of various games, I couldn't help but have itchy hands. So he picked a kind of checkers that could be played by two people, and asked Wang Kunjun to give him some advice.

This is a bit difficult for the king to be the leader, to talk about mahjong, poker, he is still very proficient, and he is also handy to play, playing checkers is a bit not enough. This set of checkers was originally made by Wang Feng to find a carpenter in the city, in order to please the little sister of the Zhong family after getting married. Usually only the four ladies who crossed the crowd occasionally played a game, but they were big men who never participated in it. The last time Wang Kunjun played checkers was when he was in elementary school.

However, since the little girl has this request, he, the host, can't refute the face of others. So he reluctantly asked Han Qingwen to sit down, and said humbly: "Since Miss Han likes this kind of game, then I will play two games with the girl." However, I am not proficient in playing this chess, and I am not good at playing, so please forgive Miss Han. ”

Han Qingwen only thought of him as humble and didn't take it too seriously. I thought, no matter how bad you are, it's better than me, a beginner, and you don't have to worry about losing face, so let's lay the foreshadowing now. So he also said politely: "Brother Wang is too modest, the little girl is a beginner, and she also asked Brother Shi for more advice." In addition, Brother Shi just repeatedly told the little girl not to be polite, but Brother Shi, you are down one by one, and it sounds very obvious. ”

Wang Kunjun saw that the little sister of the Han family was not formal, so he relaxed and said, "What Miss Han said is true. Since this is the case, then Wang is full of bigness, and calls the girl 'foolish brother' in front of the girl, and calls the girl a virtuous sister. ”

Han Qingwen nodded and said, "This is the best, it is exactly what the little sister wants." ”

Immediately, the two of them began to play checkers. Although Han Qingwen is a beginner, she is talented and intelligent, and she has a high level of understanding, and she quickly found the trick. The first two or three sets were a little jerky, but the rest was much smoother. After playing a few games, the little sister of the Han family found that she was wrong, the Wang Shi brother in front of her was really not humble just now, he was indeed a so-called "stinky chess basket" as he later admitted. He had only studied for less than half an hour, and he could already throw him off his armor. So much so that when she came to the back, the little sister of the Han family won consecutive battles, and she was not too embarrassed to continue to play with the eldest brother of the Wang family. So, after winning again, Han Qingwen took the initiative to say that she wanted to learn other games again, so that Wang Kunjun, who was full of embarrassment, could get some face. ,

Wang Kunjun couldn't ask for this proposal, so he hurriedly led the little sister of the Han family to the playing cards and taught her to play poker. From "running fast" to "fighting landlords", from "upgrading" to "bridge", I almost talked about how to play poker. Seeing the little sister of the Han family listening attentively to her explanation, she finally regained a little self-esteem of the master in front of her apprentices.

It's a pity that there are many ways to play poker, but it is suitable for two people to play very little. He only knows the kind of stud that is common in gambling movies, and the so-called "Zakin Flower" with an unlimited number of people. Both of these games are gambling in nature, and it is not appropriate to teach a pure little sister to others. So I taught for a long time, but because there was no suitable way to play, it was difficult for the "face-finding" jihua of the leader of the king to implement.

Just when Wang Kunjun was about to teach the little sister of the Han family, which can be called the "quintessence of the country", the Chinese mahjong game, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and his good brother and iron buddy, Zhang Weixin, walked in from outside with a red face. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Lao Wang, I can find you, you are too unauthentic." Hide here and throw me on the wine table to block the wine for you. Those guys can't find you, so they hold me down. If it weren't for Senior Brother Yuxuzi to help me block it, buddy, I would have been lying under the table a long time ago. Come with me, I can't stand it. ”

As he spoke, he was going to come over and pull Wang Kunjun. As a result, as soon as he looked up, the hand that wanted to pull the person stopped halfway, because he suddenly found that the iron buddy was staring at him with a tangled face, and he hated to eat himself. And next to her, the little sister of the Han family, who had been praised by herself in the ears of her iron buddies for a long time, was standing at the table with her head bowed in embarrassment, so ashamed that her neck was red.

After a moment of coldness, Zhang Weixin also woke up, his thinking also returned to agility, and he had a correct judgment of the situation in front of him, knowing that it was a good thing for him to break into the iron buddy's little sister. So, while secretly scolding the servant who pointed him out in his heart for not explaining the situation clearly, he pretended to be drunk and said, "Oh, it seems that I drank too much and was dazzled." Lao Wang is not in this house at all, I will look elsewhere. ”

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. However, in this situation, how could the little sister of the Han family still stay here, so before Zhang Weixin's legs stepped out, Han Qingwen hurriedly said to Wang Kunjun: "The little sister will ask the younger brother for advice another day, I will go back to the banquet first", and then rushed out of the room in front of Zhang Weixin, and ran away as if she was running away.

Looking at the slender and pretty figure of the little sister of the Han family disappearing at the end of the corridor leading to the middle courtyard, Zhang Weixin turned his head in embarrassment, looked at Wang Kunjun with black lines on his face, laughed twice, and ran away. Only the depressed Wang Kunjun sat there, competing with a table of mahjong cards for a long time, and finally had no choice but to return to the banquet, and said in Zhang Weixin's ear "When the banquet is over, our brothers and sons have to have a good chat", and then began to be drunk by their companions again. And Zhang Weixin naturally would not give Wang Kunjun the opportunity to "have a good chat", he only used a little trick, and successfully let himself get drunk, so that Wang Kunjun had to give up the plan to "talk to his heart" with him.

After the banquet, the guests said goodbye to the host, and Wang Kunjun, Wang Feng and others thanked them again and again, and sent the guests outside the mansion one by one. When sending Han Deyi's family, looking at Han Qingwen who was shyly hiding behind her mother, although Wang Kunjun wanted to say a few more words to her, but because of etiquette, he could only smile and greet her when others were not paying attention. As a result, it was such a small action, which still made the little sister panic, and while nervously observing whether her parents noticed, she blinked her beautiful big eyes to signal that Wang Kunjun could not make a mistake.

Looking at the cute expression of the little sister of the Han family, Wang Kunjun once again had a feeling of heartbeat. Fortunately, he covered it up well, Han Deyi and his wife didn't see anything abnormal, and after saying a congratulatory polite word, they left. Looking at Han Qingwen's beautiful and delicate back, Wang Kunjun had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if he had lost something, and as if he had found something.

After sending off all the guests, Wang Feng's children's shoes naturally went through his cave room and candle night. Due to the consideration of the receptivity of the little sister of the Zhong family, the committee specially announced a resolution, that is, to prohibit everyone from going to the cave room. Despite the lack of fun, the team members persevered in carrying out the resolution. There is no other reason, mainly for the sake of his future marriage. You go to toss others now, and when you get married, others will definitely give you back, instead of tossing each other, it is better to let others go. Therefore, Wang Feng's children's shoes were quite comfortable this night, well, it is estimated that it was too comfortable, and he didn't get up until three o'clock the next day, and brought the little sister of the Zhong family to greet everyone, so Zhong Ziqi officially became a member of the team.
