As soon as he entered the room, Liu Zhongkui carefully put the scroll on the table, and quickly stood back beside Xie Yao, Xie Yao held the wooden box, only felt that his hands were hot, and he was about to learn from him, Chu Zhao sat on the chair, looked at her, and asked, "What?" ”

His eyes fell on Xie Yao's hand, and she handed it over and said, "My lord, it's a gift from the small one." ”

When I first entered the door, although I didn't really see it, this Chu Mansion was full of antique fragrance, even the door was extremely luxurious wood, the cups on the table, the tables and chairs of this Nanmu, and Chu Zhao's body was an excellent cloth at first glance...... Even the flowers and plants hinted that the Chu family was very rich, and even the door was Nanmu.

She suddenly felt that this five-tael fan was a little out of her hands.

Chu Zhao took the wooden box, opened it with his hand, and saw that there was a jade-handled fan inside, so he couldn't help but pick it up.

He played with the jade-handled fan in his hand, turned it twice, unfolded the fan, and his eyes fell on the fan.

There is a picture of landscape painting on the fan surface, fish jumping on the water, tired birds playing in the water, and the sunset is sinking in the sky.

Chu Zhao looked at it for a long time, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xie Yao's gaze also fell on the fan, tangled and slightly distorted.

Five taels of silver! More than two months of monthly money!

She's really in pain!

With a slight groan, he raised his head and was about to speak, when he caught a glimpse of Xie Yao's somewhat tangled gaze, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered the folk customs of the capital.

Kindness?

Chu Zhao's gaze suddenly fell on this folding fan again, and his gaze was dark.

To be honest, this fan was the most inconspicuous of the things he received, but now it seems that this folding fan is more than just a birthday gift.

Chu Zhao quietly accepted the fan and said, "Thank you." ”

Xie Yao smiled and said, "If the adults like it, the little ones will retreat first." ”

Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui saluted, and were about to withdraw, when Chu Zhao said, "Wait." ”

He stood up and asked, "Have you two eaten?" ”

The two played for a day, where could they take care of eating, Xie Yao didn't know what he was asking for, and said, "Not yet, I'm about to eat."

Chu Zhao said, "You have a heart, and you are not familiar with life, so you can sit at a table with me." ”

Is this to keep the meal?

Xie Yao was originally very happy, after all, the Chu family's food must be very rich, but as soon as he heard the second half ......of the sentence, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, my lord, the two of us have a low status, just sit at a table, and I don't deserve to sit with adults."

Chu Zhao glanced lukewarmly.

Xie Yao's words suddenly turned around, "Being able to sit at the same table with adults is really a blessing for the two of us in my life!" Sit sit, sit, sit! ”

"Let's go, take a seat."

The two followed behind Chu Zhao, Liu Zhongkui couldn't help but bump into her, and said in a low voice, "I said aunt, didn't you just be a little too spineless?"

It's full of schadenfreude, and it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Xie Yao also wanted to be tough, but people were divided into three, six and nine, she couldn't even count three, Chu Zhao's identity and status, how dare she openly refuse, at this time, she lost face in front of her brother, coughed lightly, and said, "I thought about it, it doesn't cost to sit at a table with him, maybe the food at his table is better than other tables, isn't it, eat back and eat back......"

"You dream of eating back, you."

It cost more than a dozen taels of silver, which is enough to charter a few tables of good banquets in Cangxian.

Xie Yao hissed and pretended to hit him, Liu Zhongkui smiled and didn't care, seeing her make a gesture, he clenched his fists and put them down, looked around, and said, "But this yard is really big." ”

The three of them walked for a while, but they didn't even reach the banquet hall.

Thinking like this, walking through the courtyard, the situation in the banquet hall was already faintly visible, and the sound of music was faintly heard, like Qin Yao.

Chu Zhao walked in front, the two followed into the hall, there were male and female musicians playing the piano and flute ensemble in the center, there were only two tables on the left and right in the banquet hall, a total of more than ten people, there was a table with seven or eight people, and the table had already opened, Chu Zhao pointed to the table that had not been opened, and instructed, "You just sit there, I'll come over immediately." ”

There were only two people sitting at that table, and Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui nodded hurriedly and went over to sit down.

Chu Zhao walked to the other table, Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui sat down, as soon as they sat down, they looked in the direction of Chu Zhao from a distance, and when they saw him bowing, he seemed to be saluting, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised in his heart.

Before she could react, Liu Zhongkui next to her poked her elbow, her voice was like a fly, and she was still a little stiff, "Yaoyao...... Look at ...... across from you."

Xie Yao swept away, and there was a man sitting opposite her, about thirty years old, dressed in very good clothes, drinking tea, wrong, wrong...... It's a cup of tea, Xie Yao corrected his words in his heart, and his movements were gentle and calm, which was pleasing to the eye.

Xie Yao cast a puzzled look at Liu Zhongkui.

Liu Zhongkui sat up straight, approached her slightly, and several households were gritting their teeth and talking, and said, "This person is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, I have seen it in the portrait, absolutely yes!" And the one next to him, is the waiter of the Ministry of Works, from the second grade! and Lord Chu at the same official level. ”

Xie Yao, "......"

！！！

Looking at the situation at the other table, it is estimated that the official position is only higher than Chu Zhao.

She was still wondering when Chu Zhao stayed for dinner just now, since he stayed for dinner, it meant that the Chu family had set up a banquet, but why didn't the Chu family welcome so many guests who came to congratulate her?

Ministry of Rites Shoshu ...... Ministry of Works......

Xie Yao now finally knows what kind of dinner table he is sitting on!

It turned out that the people who could sit on this table were all big people with heads and faces, and the two of them ...... Xie Yao can only be described as mud on the ground.

Could it be that those who can enter the Chu family banquet have to look at the official grade?

Xie Yao once again deeply sighed that the metaphysics of reincarnation is so profound!

The two couldn't help but sit up straight, and Yu Guang went to look at Chu Zhao, and saw that he had already walked over and sat on Xie Yao's right hand.

Chu Zhao smiled slightly, "Brother Liu, Brother Wang." ”

Wang Huaili didn't say much, nodded in response, "Brother Chu." ”

Liu Sang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, nodded slightly and said, "You kid did this beautifully. ”

Chu Zhao waved his hand and ordered the food to be served, and said, "Just do your best, today is my birthday, Brother Liu and Brother Wang can come to enjoy the face, Chu Zhao is very moved." ”

"What's polite, if the two of us don't come, I'm afraid you will have to come to the door tomorrow to ask for the guilt."

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.

It seems that the relationship between the three is excellent.

Xie Yao silently took a sip of tea.

There are only five people at this table plus Xie Yao, but there are eight people at the other table, and there are standing next to them, and I don't know what the name is.

Liu Sang glanced at the other side with a smile and said, "Your kid's twenty-third birthday, you actually made Grandpa Chu run hard, but it cheapened that group of people." ”

As he spoke, the waiter brought the food to the table, served the wine, and soon the dishes were ready.

The three of them didn't move their chopsticks, they were about to drink when they raised their glasses, Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui hurriedly lifted the wine glasses, she was about to drink them all in one gulp, but Chu Zhao on the side pressed down her hand and stopped, "This wine is very strong, don't drink it." ”

He pressed down Xie Yao's wine glass, and the four of them raised their glasses and drank them all.
