Chapter 31: The Dinner
Li Yueshu glanced down at the hand, looked up at Weng Ce with a smile, and the corners of her eyes were full of charm.
"Is it because of me that I am absent-minded?"
Weng Ce held Li Yueshu's hand more and more tightly, smiled evilly, and said, "What do you say? β
The atmosphere in the room was ambiguous for a while. Weird.
When Weng Ce's face got closer and closer, almost touching the tip of her nose, Li Yueshu withdrew her hand in time, leaned back, and cursed in her mouth: "Be in a hurry and be burned to death by hot tofu!" β
Weng Ce also stepped back suddenly, stood up with his hands in his hands, and said, "I have always been calm, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about you for so many yearsββ"
There was some grievance in the words.
If it weren't for revenge on Xia Liyun, Li Yueshu wouldn't have thrown him an olive branch.
Thinking of Xia Liyun, Weng Ce's mood was immediately bad again, he looked around left and right, there was no one else in the house, and Jinxin was also outside the door, so he said with confidence: "Yueshu, didn't Xia Liyun commit suicide in Jinmei Building, why did she come back again?" β
Li Yueshu was a little surprised: "What, are you still thinking about her?" β
Thinking that Weng Ce and Xia Liyun had also rained, Li Yueshu felt very uncomfortable.
Weng Ce frowned: "When is it, are you still in the mood to be jealous?" β
Li Yueshu didn't know why she was jealous.
Probably she and Weng Ce already have a skin-to-skin relationship, Weng Ce has become her person, and she doesn't like to have others to share with her.
Wang Xiaojian is the same.
"Put gold on your face, who is jealous." Li Yueshu muttered stiffly.
Weng Ce was in no mood to flirt with Li Yueshu now, so he asked, "Yueshu, why did Xia Liyun come back again?" β
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Regarding this matter, Li Yueshu was also annoyed, she asked Weng Ce, "Have you met her when you live in the Wang family these days?" What did she say to you? Did you threaten you with the matter of Jin Mei Lou? β
Li Yueshu's words reminded Weng Ce that he should indeed go to see Xia Liyun, and it would be bad if this matter was poked out.
Before, he didn't care, because he thought that Xia Liyun was just a concubine, helpless, and if she was ruined, she would be ruined, and if she died, she would die, but he didn't expect Xia Liyun to have the Shen family behind her.
"Yue Shu, you shouldn't have hidden Xia Liyun's background from me in the first place, why didn't you tell me that she was Shen Sikong's niece?"
There was blame in Weng Ce's words, Li Yueshu was very dissatisfied, and sneered: "What, don't you want to help me if you know it in advance?" β
That's of course, he's going to take a career in office, how can he offend these old officialdom masters?
But Weng Ce smiled on his face and said to Li Yueshu: "Ace is waiting for you to send at any time. β
Li Yueshu laughed at this time, glanced at Weng Ce coquettishly, and said, "After the feast, I will send you." β
Weng Ce understood.
The two looked at each other, many tacitly, and the two of them had hooks in their smiling eyes, and they hooked each other, and Weng Ce took his leave.

Xufu, Qingxue Garden, the scenery is unique.
Xu Wei came in a hurry, and the maids and ladies were busy curtsiedly calling "master", Xu Wei didn't look at them, his eyes were only on the snow-white shadow in the Baihua Pavilion in the garden.
"Dream Snow!"
Xu Wei stepped into the pavilion in three steps and two steps, and the maids all retreated.
Meng Xue got up from the beauty to greet him and said, "Why did the master come back to the house at this hour?" β
It stands to reason that it should be in the barracks.
Xu Wei sat down at the stone table in the pavilion and said, "Ye'er is now a lieutenant, and he helps me with the affairs of the three armies, so I have a lot of leisure." β
"Ye'er is still young, and he still needs to be taught more by the master in everything." Meng Xue had a clear smile on her face, and Xu Wei looked at her, and there was an ethereal and unreal feeling.
"Ye'er, you're capable." Xu Wei's words had the meaning of appeasing Mengxue and reassuring her.
Mengxue didn't seem to care.
She stood upright, a beautiful vase.
It seems that the value of her life is to be a vase, and nothing else has anything to do with her.
For a moment, Xu Wei suddenly felt that his throat was astringent, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Meng Xue stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea: "Master, please drink tea." β
Beautiful, gentle and gentle, but alienated, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Thank you." Xu Wei drank tea and said, "The day after tomorrow, the banquet of the Wang family, you can go together, and Ye'er will also go." β
Xu Wei didn't know that Xu Shaoye was still the initiator of this banquet.
"No, it's autumn, it's cold, I don't want to move around, I'm afraid of the cold."
Xu Wei looked at the Qingxue Garden outside the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, the autumn wind gusted, blowing the maple and bamboo in the garden, since he was afraid of the cold, did he still come to this pavilion to blow the wind?
Xu Wei went to put down the curtain between the pillars and pillars of the pavilion to block the wind outside, and the pavilion suddenly became a lot warmer.
Xu Wei looked back at Mengxue, she sat down on the beauty again, lifted the corner of the gauze curtain to look at the scenery in the Qingxue Garden, and a small maple forest was planted in one place, just like the sunset in full swing.
Xu Wei was unwilling, and said, "Achu will also go." β
Meng Xue really trembled, her eyes flashed a little bright, and she murmured: "Achu is the king of Qi, I don't know if he still remembers me." β
"You went, you saw him, didn't you know?" Xu Wei was full of interest.
Meng Xue shook her head: "On that occasion, no nobleman from the family will bring the aunt of the family, right?" β
One sentence made Xu Wei a little speechless, and for a while he didn't know what else to say, he stood in the Baihua Pavilion for a while, and instructed: "This pavilion is built on a high place, it is colder than in the garden, you are weak and you should go back to the house to rest earlier." β
"I'll sit a little longer, and I'll be back." The light words and the indifferent expression revealed a sense of willfulness.
Xu Wei had no choice but to sigh silently and leave.
Xu Wei left, Meng Xue just turned around, the pavilion was covered by gauze curtains on all sides, and Xu Wei couldn't see the figure leaving.

Wang Xiaojian was busy all day, and when he returned to Renhoutang, he was very tired.
I heard that Xia Liyun was unwell, and he was going to visit, but Qin'er came to invite him, saying that the second young lady was waiting for him to have dinner, so Wang Xiaojian went to Shen Changping with Qin'er.
This Shen Changping has been married to the Wang family for so long, even if he is not allowed to enter her room, he will never dine with him, unless it is at Mrs. Wang's place in the mansion, he can sit at the same table with her.
Only then did Wang Xiaojian feel that he was a family with her.
When he entered the house with Qin'er, Wang Xiaojian immediately smelled the aroma of the food and was immediately hungry.
The maids put dinner on the table early, and Shen Changping greeted him with a smile, and said sweetly: "Xianggong has worked hard, Xianggong come to dinner." β
said, personally led Wang Xiaojian into the seat.
The spoiled daughter of the official family suddenly offered her courtesy, Wang Xiaojian was flattered, and he was still a little hairy in his heart.
"Xianggong, this is your favorite chicken pith shoots, as well as this rouge goose breast, I listened to what my mother said, Xianggong, you eat more." Shen Changping smiled like a flower, and from time to time put vegetables in Wang Xiaojian's bowl.
Wang Xiaojian was so hungry that although he felt strange in his heart, he still ate a lot.
After eating and drinking, sleepiness hits.
Shen Changping helped him to walk inside, and said, "Xianggong will stay with me tonight." She smiled shyly.
Wang Xiaojian trembled, his heart "huh", did not refuse, but let Shen Changping lead him into the inner room, but unfortunately, when he arrived in the inner room, Wang Xiaojian did not have time to change his clothes, only stained the bed eyelids and covered them heavily.
Wang Xiaojian didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up from a dream, he only heard the sound of the beating of the watchman outside.
Three more.
Wang Xiaojian sat up and found himself in Shen Changping's room, where the lights were lit, but Shen Changping was not in bed.
"Lady, lady-"
Wang Xiaojian called the "lady" while getting out of bed and putting on shoes.
Qin'er walked in when she heard the sound and said, "Oh, why did you wake up, second son?" It's still early, so rest a little longer. β
Wang Xiaojian asked, "What about the second young lady?" β
Qin'er said: "Aunt Yun's maid came to report that Aunt Yun suddenly felt unwell, and the second young lady was worried that she had just gone to see Aunt Yun. β
Hearing that Xia Liyun was sick, Wang Xiaojian left without thinking about it, and Qin'er hurriedly followed.
Xia Liyun lived in the west wing of Renhoutang, Wang Xiaojian and Qin'er had only walked a few steps to arrive, but they saw Shen Changping standing outside the door, and when they saw them coming, they stretched out their hands to stop them and refused to let them in.
Wang Xiaojian wanted to say something, Shen Changping hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, looked back at the room from time to time, and shook his head vigorously at Wang Xiaojian, with an anxious and worried look.
Wang Xiaojian was puzzled, but when he saw Shen Changping tiptoeing him into the house, he also made a ghost messenger to follow him and tiptoe in-
