Chapter Seventy-Three
Mrs. Wang has read countless people in her life, and she knows at a glance that Cen Xijun is a gentleman. Although he is a young man, Xie Yuan does not see impetuousness and arrogance, and he is a good man worthy of trust. Master Wang was very satisfied with Cen Ximian, so his attitude was very intimate.
"Yes, thank you for the late life, old lady."
When Cen Xihuan saw that the old lady Wang had such an attitude, he also knew that the old man was satisfied with himself, and some of the anxiety and tension in his heart eased. He bowed again and thanked Mrs. Wang before taking his seat.
This time, the banquet of the old lady Wang was held very grandly. The house has been redecorated again, from the stage courtyard to the flower ornaments, which have been carefully repaired and maintained. Dozens of tables were set up for the banquet, straight from the hall to the courtyard outside the hall, and the dishes were chicken, duck and fish, and the hot and cold dishes were all available.
As soon as the meal was finished, the old lady Wang led everyone to the courtyard next to listen to the play. The old lady loves to listen to operas, so he has set up a courtyard, and with so many people accompanying him at today's birthday banquet, the old lady wants to listen to it for a while. It's just that the old lady looked at the large number of people behind him, and there were many young boys and girls, but he didn't want to detain them, so he asked a group of young people to go to the Wang's Horse Farm to play.
"Hua Qian, can the horse farm be settled? Let those young masters and young ladies go to the racecourse to play, and they will fall asleep listening to the drama later! ”
Old lady Wang was in a very good mood today, turned her head to the middle-aged man next to her and ordered, and made a joke when she spoke.
The Hua Qian in the old lady's mouth is his eldest son, Wang Huaqian, the eldest master of the Wang family. Today's banquet was organized by him and his wife.
"Back to my father, it has been arranged over there, and my son will send a housekeeper to lead them over."
Wang Huaqian still carried the old lady to the theater very wholeheartedly when he replied, and handed over the matter of the racecourse to the housekeeper.
"Hmm."
When the old lady Wang heard this, she nodded slightly, but she didn't say anything. His eldest son acted steadily, and he didn't need to worry about this little thing. At today's birthday banquet, Mrs. Wang wants her son to be by her side, and it is okay for the housekeeper to watch it at the racecourse.
The elders here have already sat down in the theater and listened to the play. And the young masters and young ladies who came to celebrate their birthdays with their parents were taken to the Wangjia Racecourse by the housekeeper. As Mrs. Wang expected, few of these young masters and ladies were really willing to listen to babbling songs in the opera garden, and now they said that they were going to the racecourse to play, and they all followed the housekeeper with great satisfaction. Even if there were those who didn't want to go, because most of their peers went, they followed, and Yu Jin and Cen Xijun were among them.
The Wang's Horse Farm is not far from the palace, and the housekeeper walked with everyone for about a quarter of an hour. The racecourse covers a very large area, and it can be encircled a whole piece of land, just behind the palace. It was originally the Wang family's private horse farm, but it was built on a larger scale than the horse farm outside.
When the group entered the gate of the racecourse, they saw a large meadow with a gravel paved racetrack in the middle. Now there were four riders galloping on their horses, and the hooves of the horses kicked up a puff of dust on the ground.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Yu Jin was originally held by Wang Feifei to stand in front of the group, and now Wang Feifei went to another place to talk to a young lady, Yu Jin stood in place, not noticing that he was choked by the dust for a while, and because he did not want to attract everyone's strange eyes, he hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, suppressing the itching in his throat.
"Xiaojin, it's okay, otherwise I'll go back with you?"
The group was faintly divided into two groups because there were men and women, in order to avoid suspicion, Cen Ximian was originally standing on the grass a little farther away, but he kept an eye on Yu Jin, so he found Yu Jin coughing for the first time, and seeing that her little face was flushed, Cen Ximian was worried and walked over quickly.
"Ahem...... Brother Xi's ...... I'm fine......"
Yu Jin was holding back hard, and someone suddenly spoke up beside him, and subconsciously turned his head to see Cen Xijun standing aside with a frown. Knowing that he was worried about himself, he couldn't help but explain out loud, but as soon as he spoke, he coughed.
"Don't talk just yet, it'll be better if you eat this."
Cen Xi's brows furrowed even tighter when he saw her like this. However, he still didn't say anything, only took out a small balls wrapped in oiled paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Yu Jin.
Yu Jin blinked at the things Cen Xijun handed over, a little curious. Reaching out and taking it, I opened the oil paper and saw that it was a honey grapefruit peel candy pill. Yu Jin raised his eyes and looked at Cen Ximi, smiled slightly, and took the sugar pill into his mouth. Honey and grapefruit are both cough and lung moisturizers, and after a while of sugar, Yu Jin really didn't cough.
Cen Xijun was also a little uncomfortable when he was looked at by Yu Jin. He knew that Yu Jin's eyes were curious that he would carry some sugar pills that his little daughter's family loved to eat. Except for the occasional bickering in front of his parents, Cen Xijun has always been a serious and serious appearance, like those old-fashioned old pedants, Yu Jin feels that it is not surprising.
Cen Ximian doesn't like sweets, this sugar pill is a snack snack at the banquet, Cen Ximian saw that Yu Jin didn't eat much food but used two more pills of honey grapefruit peel candy, so he also secretly brought two over, thinking that it would be good to use it as a pastime when Yu Jin was hungry later, but he didn't want to use it as a cough pill right now. Cen Xi looked at Yu Jin's satisfied expression, smiled in a low voice, and shook his head slightly, but he didn't explain.
"Sister Jin'er is okay, right? …… Cen Gongzi is also here! ”
Wang Feifei originally deliberately hung Yu Jin to find another young lady to talk, just looking at her coughing and laughing, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Cen Xijun coming over, and greeted Yu Jin coldly, and immediately turned cold, and her expression was so cruel that Miss Zhou, who was talking to her, was bluffed.
Wang Feifei was angry, hurriedly appeased Miss Zhou, and then moved over and lightly blocked between Yu Jin and Cen Ximian, first holding Yu Jin and frowning with a concerned look, and then turned his head as if he had just seen Cen Ximian, and greeted softly. looked at Cen Ximian's eyes were shining, very pleasing.
It's just that Cen Xijun didn't buy it. He was already dissatisfied with Wang Feifei's action of forcing Yu Jin to come to the racecourse, and now he was even more disgusted when he looked at her pretentiousness.
"Miss Wang, Xiaojin is unwell, I'll send her back first."
Cen Xijun hated Wang Feifei, so he didn't want Yu Jin to stay in the racecourse and be disgusted by her, so he said coldly and wanted to take Yu Jin away.
"Sister Xiaojin, the horse race is about to start, you are here, wouldn't it be a pity to go now! Look over there, there's a shed over there, and there's a candy and a snack, so you can just sit there and play! You can't get the sun and you can see the game. ”
Wang Feifei is not stupid, she knows that she can't speak in front of Cen Ximi, so she turned her head and persuaded Yu Jin directly. Wang Feifei blinked his big eyes and looked at Yu Jin with some coquettishness, and the hand holding Yu Jin's arm also swayed, begging Yu Jin to stay like a child.
Yu Jin has always had soft ears, she looked at Wang Feifei's appearance, and suddenly remembered the scene when she was a child and played with this cousin, at that time she also loved to pester herself to play, and she felt a little emotional, so she couldn't help but agree to her.
