Chapter 22: A Little Banquet

Hearing this, Xiliu opened the folding fan with a bang, first fanned away the uneasy look on his face, and then learned to listen to the glutinous tone of the south, and smiled back: "But isn't it?" It's a big loss, Shen Gongzi, you remember to pay me back my silver, I see, we don't need to prepare a dowry, talk about a business, become a marriage, so rare, it's good to get married quickly, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to take advantage of now, all the bosses are present, so as to receive gifts, you ......"

Xiliu and Shen Ting have an inexplicable tacit understanding, when they met for the first time, they hit it off at first sight, this tacit understanding came from nowhere, but it has been there since the day they met. Therefore, after listening to the explanation, Xiliu understood that instead of arguing, it was better to disrupt other people's doubts in a joking tone, and now was never the time to be angry. Obviously, after Shen Ting threw out such a paragraph, the effect was very good, and everyone in the hall didn't know how to answer for a while. Xiliu also knew what direction to lead the matter, she only needed to take Shen Ting's words first, and said without a trace that she and Shen Ting had no personal relationship at all, and at the same time threw a joke to everyone, so that everyone could have a stage, and then turn their attention to the matter of entering the Ministry of Commerce. But before she finished speaking, she heard a bang in the hall, and everyone was frightened.

Ji Liu got up, pulled his warm and jade-like voice, and said, "Ah, the tea is too hot, and I accidentally knocked over the pot." ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, he continued: "Xi Shaodong's words, I thought about it carefully, indeed, the road taken by my Ji family's caravan is not as long as the road taken by the Xi family's caravan, in the future, I will be annoyed that Xi Shaodong's family will tell the partners of the caravan to bring some strange things to my family." After speaking, he turned his head and asked Shen Ting: "Minister Shen, is the time to vote?" ”

At the Ministry of Commerce assembly, the outcome is often determined by voting, with the green head signing indicating agreement and the red head signing indicating disagreement.

Shen Ting turned his head to look at Shi Xin on the side: "Is it time to vote?" ”

Shi Xin glanced at the burning incense and said, "It's almost." ”

So Shen Ting continued to speak: "Do you have any other questions you want to ask Xi Shaodong?" If not, let's start voting. ”

The crowd did not answer, so the casting began. No more, no less, the green sign accounted for exactly half, and the Xi's Tea Shop pressed this half into the South Water Ministry of Commerce.

When everything was done, it was time for the small feast, because the great event had been settled, and everyone was happy at the small feast. The small banquet is different from the formal assembly, not only inviting singing and dancing to help the music, but also allowing each family to bring their own family members to have fun, of course, at the banquet, there is no specific seat, everyone is very casual, any acquaintance or want to know people, you can talk at will. On the day of the small banquet, Xiliu originally wanted to take Xixun to have fun, but due to the schoolwork of the academy, Xixun had no leisure, so Xiliu had to take the finch to the banquet, which was a little lonely. Xiliu is a newcomer to the Ministry of Commerce, and he doesn't know a few bosses, let alone their families. However, looking at it, the bosses she knew before were also very active in talking to others at the moment, and there was no place for her to talk to at all, and she didn't think about whether she needed to make friends, or who she was going to befriend, so she didn't dare to act rashly, and only sat at her small table drinking and eating tea.

The small banquet is set up in the courtyard on the first floor of Wangyan Pavilion, and a small singing and dancing platform is set up in the middle of the courtyard. Xiliu glanced left and right a few times, and saw that Ji Liu, who was not far away, was also sitting and drinking alone, and did not talk to others. She remembered that at yesterday's rally, Ji Liu did her a great favor, so she thanked her. So she picked up a glass of wine, walked to Ji Liu's side, came to him, bent down and saluted, and said, "Hello Ji Xiaogongzi, I was in a hurry yesterday, and I ...... it."

Before she could finish a sentence, Ji Liu got up and left, leaving her with a very arrogant back.

Xiliu touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and asked Que'er, "Que'er, have I offended him again in the past two days?" ”

The finch shook her head, indicating that she had no way of knowing.

Seeing that Ji Liu didn't care about herself, Xiliu was a little embarrassed, but she was not surprised, after all, she also knew that Ji Liu was capricious. Looking up and looking to both sides, Xiliu found that Shen Ting was also drinking by himself, so his heart moved, and he walked towards Shen Ting, saying, "Brother Shen, it is really very reliable." ”

As he spoke, he bent down to toast.

Shen Ting naturally understood what she meant, this is the matter of the Ministry of Commerce, she came to thank herself, Shen Ting raised her glass very cooperatively, drank with Xiliu, and said with a smile, "You don't look at what friendship we have, it's a trivial matter, you don't have to be polite." ”

Shen listened to this without Nanshui's glutinous accent at all, but a serious official dialect, with some arrogance and uninhibited, very casual, as if these were not things, coupled with his pair of peach blossom eyes, and the shining black mole under his eyes, under the light, it suddenly shook Xixin's heart and skipped a beat. The beauty of Shen Ting is too public, no matter how many times he has watched it, if he is not careful, he will still beat people into a trance, Xi thought to himself, fortunately, he is extraordinary. Suddenly remembering Shen Ting's glutinous accent at the rally, Xiliu asked curiously: "Shen Gongzi, why do you want to talk about that glutinous Nanshui dialect at the rally?" Aren't you speaking well? ”

Shen Ting's hand raised his glass paused, and replied: "Ah, I forgot to tell you one thing, that is, at the rally, everyone usually speaks Nanshui dialect to show closeness." ”

Keiliu: ........................

Shen Ting: "But ...... You won't say it, and it doesn't seem to matter much if you don't tell you. ”

Kei thought about it too, but ...... Will it be said that it is one thing, do you know that it seems to be another matter, but she can't blame Shen for not saying it, so she has to silently blame herself for not probing well, and in a trance, she actually bumped into a girl next to her.

The girl let out an "ah", and then the soles of her feet slipped and fell straight to the ground. The teapot in her hand was thrown straight towards Keiliu's side, just to Keiliu's shoulder. The tea overturned and fell down the shoulder.

The tea seemed to have just been boiled, and when it was splashed on people's shoulders, it made people feel that the meat in their shoulders was going to be cooked, spicy and painful, and Keiliu had to reach out and undo the small button around his neck, and tear the clothes on his shoulders slightly, for fear that the meat would stick to his clothes like this. Because the girl was so close to Keiru, the tea splashed all over her, but it was certainly not as hot as the tea that had been spilled on Keiru's shoulder.

She shouted "Childe~" and then burst into tears, full of grievances.

The people around him were all shocked, and the finch didn't know whose windbreaker he borrowed, so he hurriedly put it on Xiliu. Shen Ting hurriedly ordered the attendant to leave the stream and take it down to deal with, while instructing the servant to find the doctor, while he personally helped the girl who fell to the ground up, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted: "It's okay, don't be afraid, the son is here, are you hurt?" ”

Although the situation was panicked, Keiru suddenly remembered that she had seen the girl she had knocked down. When she went to see Shen Ting for the first time, a group of ladies came down from the painting boat, and one of them gave her a cold look. She also knew that if she hadn't turned her head in time, the teapot would not have spilled on her shoulder, but on her face or neck.
