Chapter Twenty-Nine: Miss Zou's Birthday

Chen Zui wanted to step forward and knock on the door, but Duan Shaoling walked in front, "I'll come." This knocker looks heavy, and Chen Zui's injuries have just healed after all.

Chen Zui secretly thought that Duan Shaoling regarded him too weakly, but he cared about himself in the end and didn't fight with him.

Boom, boom, boom ......" knocked on the heavy knocker, and the rumbling sound shook the sawdust on the door panel and shook off, and after five knocks, I heard the sound of someone running towards the door.

"Here ......" The one who opened the door was a middle-aged uncle, seeing that he was dressed in the clothes of a subordinate person, and he was more decent, and he guessed that he was the head of the Zou family, "How many are you?" "It's polite to speak, I don't know if it's because of this uncle's personality, or if it's a habit that has been cultivated for a long time.

Duan Shaoling stepped forward to greet him: "Uncle, we are Baoyi... It's your young master's classmate, and it was he who invited us to your young lady's birthday party. ”

"That's right......" looked at them with some doubt. Duan Shaoling took out the school's number plate and gave it to the uncle, but the uncle recognized the words, and read the words on it lightly in his mouth, 'Infantry student Chen Zui', and knew that what they said was true.

At this time, he had a more suspicious expression and asked: "Just now the young master said that all the classmates he invited have arrived, so let's close the door, a few classmates who seem to be the young master's are right, why doesn't the young master know that you are coming, and why are you here now?" ”

They thought to themselves, Lu Baiting, they would come quickly.

Duan Shaoling said with a smile: "We were originally entangled in trivial matters and couldn't come, but we were able to get out temporarily, so even your young master didn't know about it." If the uncle still has concerns, you can take my number plate and ask your young master to know. ”

The uncle looked at them carefully, "That's not necessary, a few of you, please come in." ”

Lead them inside. A wide turquoise path leads to the hall, lined with their home-grown flowers, which are so varied and fragrant. On either side, there were several stooping maids, holding scissors, trimming flowers and pruning, and the housekeepers followed them to clean.

"Why is there no one in the living room? Where have they all gone? Chen Zui asked.

"Young Master, they are all playing in the backyard now." As he spoke, the uncle led them through the screen to the right of the main hall, and the houses behind them were the bedrooms where the master slept. There is also a small road on the left and right sides that leads to the guest rooms on the east and west sides, and there is a passage directly opposite to walk through the road to the back garden.

Chen Zui smiled and sighed: "Shaoling, the Baoyi family has more land than yours, and it is also much more magnificent. "Duan Shaoling's family can only be said to be a rich man in their town, but it is still far from these real big families in the city, and it is not comparable to Zou Mansion.

"Aren't you kidding, our town is just a small place compared to Guicheng, how can our family be compared to the richest man in Guicheng."

The big man let them compare and comment, and didn't say a word.

Walk down this path out of the bedroom, there is a long corridor on the left, and when you approach it, you can see that at the end of it is a half-moon arch with a wooden board attached to it, 'Back Garden'. The apricot blossoms in the garden extend out of the wall, the rouge is ten thousand points, the pink and white are alternate, the wind blows, dances like butterflies among the flowers, it is extremely graceful, and it looks full of vitality. The Zou family seen in front of it is prominent, and the back garden also has a unique scenery.

Chen Zui said: "Uncle, they are in the garden, we can walk over by ourselves, and we won't trouble you to lead the way." ”

The uncle hesitated for a moment, Chen Zui smiled, and explained: "We just want to surprise them, and we don't want to bother you if we don't mean anything else." ”

The uncle thought for a moment and smiled, his smile was as humble and kind as he saw on the outside, "Then you go in and find the young master." A man walked back the way he came.

Chen Zui proposed: "Let's see what they are doing in there first."

On the wall next to the arch there is a carved pattern of hollowing, and you can see the scene inside when you stand below.

The expansive pool meanders and flows, and the long blue boardwalk connects the north and south. On the edge of the pool, the grass and vines are clinging, and the dense willows hug each other, swaying and draping, showing the graceful style. No matter how big the sun is, it can only shine on the ground through the willows, and there is a pavilion in the center of the pool, which is really an excellent place to escape the heat and cool down.

Strange is that today is not Zou Baoyi's sister's birthday party, why are there only the four of them, don't talk about his sister. Can't even see a girl? The four of them each sat at one end of the pavilion, like guards guarding the four directions, holding a slender fishing rod in their hands, hanging into the pool with a long line, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Their concentration is more than a star and a half worse than Jiang Taigong's, and the four of them are sitting on the side, still pulling their throats to compare and see who is fishing for Deduo today, is it because they are afraid that the fish in the water don't know what they are doing?

"Coming, coming......" Liao Zhongying suddenly felt his fishing rod tremble, and when he lifted it lightly, he felt a little heavy, it was his fish that had taken the bait.

He was obviously very excited, but he slowly stood up, but he didn't pull the lever, and waited a little longer, he wanted to wait for the fish to chew the bait with all his might. Seeing that Liao Zhongying's fish was about to be baited, the three of them remained silent and never interfered.

At the critical moment, a few of them are very upright and gentlemen.

Liao Zhongying's body moved back suddenly, his right hand raised, and a struggling koi fish was sandwiched between the hook, and he took it down and placed it in the basket beside him.

Shen Hong praised: "It's amazing Zhong Ying, I caught the first fish of the day." ”

Lu Baiting said with a smile: "Baoyi, how did you act as a young master, why didn't you even listen to your family's fish, but let Zhong Ying win the first prize." ”

Zou Baoyi said angrily: "My family feeds them every day, so they don't buy my account, if you don't let me catch them today, I will catch them all tomorrow and share them with my subordinates." ”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk...... I don't have the ability, I can't catch a fish, I still have to take a fish to get angry, I'm really not ashamed, Master Zou is really broad-minded, and he can support a paper boat. ”

The four of them came in.

The four people inside were surprised when they heard Li Chengjing's voice, and when they saw all four of them present, they all put down the fishing rods in their hands and walked over, overjoyed, "You guys...... How did you guys get here? ”

Li Chengjing smiled: "I knew you wanted us to come, so we came." ”

Zou Baoyi didn't believe it: "You weren't arrested and punished by the instructor, how did you get out?" It's not going to sneak out again, is it? ”

Li Chengjing was speechless and said, "Can we escape three people in front of the instructor?" And what are we sneaking out for? It's just to come and see you fishing, which is a bit unworthy. ”

"Then tell me how it came out? Is the instructor just letting you go? There's no reason for that. Liao Zhongying was puzzled as to how they could suddenly get out.

Li Chengjing said again: "We were not punished, you seem to be very disappointed." ”

Lu Baiting smiled and said: "No, no, how dare we think so, it's just curious." ”

Chen Zui explained to them the rhetoric they had made up in a very sincere tone.

Lu Baiting still couldn't believe it: "It's really fake? Is it that simple? ”

Chen Zui said: "Really, if you don't believe it, you can go to the school and ask the instructor now." ”

When they saw that Chen Zui was swearing, they were silent for a while. Li Chengjing diverted the topic, "Isn't it your sister's birthday today?" Where is she? Why are you here? ”

Shen Hong said: "Don't say that you just came, we didn't see his sister when we came." ”

"Didn't you say that? My sister had just finished lunch when you came. She has a habit of taking a nap, and she is probably still sleeping at this time, and her classmates will not come until about half past two in the afternoon. ”

"How's your fishing? Can we join? Last week we all wanted to go fishing in the river. Chen Zui was afraid that they would talk about the morning again, so he ran directly to the front of the pool.

"Chu Xian, let's go and have a look." Li Chengjing also ran to the front with Leng Chuxian, "How much have you fished now?" ”

"We also came here not long after we started, and Zhong Ying just caught the first one." Sure enough, they didn't bother with that question anymore.

"Now how are the eight of us on sides?"

Li Chengjing said: "Isn't that simple? Feel free to form a team, Baoyi, I'll join you. ”

"You and me?" Zou Baoyi asked in disbelief.

"What? Aren't you happy? ”

"No, no." Zou Baoyi hurriedly explained: "How can you be unwilling, this is too honorable, I thought you had other ideas." When he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Zui, and the eyes of others drifted coldly.

Li Chengjing said: "I want to watch you, I'm afraid that you won't be able to catch it." Tomorrow I really caught all the fish here and cooked them. ”

"I'm just talking, you really think I'm such a stingy person."

Before they came, the four of them had already divided their sides. Chen Zui was embarrassed to be in a group with Duan Shaoling again, so he went over to a group with Shen Hong.

Now there are Liao Zhongying and Lu Baiting left. Duan Shaoling said: "Chu Xian, let you choose, do you want to be in a group with Zhong Ying or with Bai Ting?" ”

Leng Chuxian felt that it was not good to choose anyone, "It's better for you to pick first." ”

"Then I'll be in a group with Bai Ting."

"Then I'll be in a group with Zhongying." Leng Chuxian walked to Liao Zhongying's side, "You don't mind having multiple useless people next to you, I don't know anything about fishing, and I can't help you for a while." ”

Liao Zhongying looked like a man and said: "It's good for you to watch from the sidelines, see how I catch the most." ”

Shen Hong said: "You are worried that you will flash your tongue when you say big things." ”

"We'll see......

The eight of them divided into four groups and began to compete to see who could catch more. Chen Zui felt that it was really troublesome to fish like this, and with his ability, he really wanted to jump directly into the pool with a basket and bucket to fill it up and come up.
