Chapter 12: Gifts

During the banquet, Duan Jingya did not come, and after greeting Mrs. Li, I saluted Li Yuan and several of his wives, and then sat down in the position that had been arranged.

I really don't want to come to anything! Sitting across from me was Mrs. Zheng from Li Jiancheng! When she saw me, she smiled and said, "Sister Yue'er, didn't your sister come?" Today is the son's birthday, and now although his father advocates not to be extravagant and wasteful, it is just a simple banquet, but Sister Lan should also attend the appearance. ”

I saw that as soon as her voice fell, she thought of all kinds of discussions, most of which said that Duan Jingya and Li Jiancheng were incompatible, and that the young lady of the Duan family was unruly and unsociable.

I sneered: "Mrs. Zheng, it's not that Sister Ah doesn't want to come, it's that Sister Ah was infected with a cold yesterday." ”

This Zheng Guanyin is really a living White Lotus, and the scheming is still the kind of person who has no brains and no IQ. It's not a rush to slap yourself in the face.

After hearing this, Zheng Guanyin frowned and said worriedly: "Really? But why don't you see my sister summoning the doctor, this can't be done, Xiaowei. ”

I saw the girl named Xiaowei behind her replied proudly: "Here, what does Madame command?" ”

Zheng Guanyin hurriedly said: "Go quickly, go and pass Dr. Zhang to take a look at Sister Lan'er." ”

It's really disgusting for me to watch, this white lotus is deep in the bone marrow, and when I saw that the little girl was about to go, I got up and stopped her, smiled and turned to Zheng Guanyin and bowed slightly.

Zheng Guanyin obviously didn't think that I would come to this trick, a little stunned, I took the opportunity to say: "Thank you Madame, Sister A has already asked the doctor to see a doctor today, although Sister A can't come, but I really haven't forgotten the birthday of the eldest son, even if I am sick today, I have explained Jinghao with thousands of instructions, and prepared a gift for the eldest son." ”

After that, I didn't give her a chance to speak again, I glanced at Xiaofu, Xiaofu nodded understandingly, and then walked away, I also turned around and walked to the middle of the banquet hall, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you, because my sister is unwell today, so I specially ordered me to give a special gift to the eldest son." ”

Everyone looked at me suspiciously, I turned around and clapped my hands, and all of a sudden the candles in the entire banquet hall were extinguished, and there was a panic around, "Don't panic, everyone, this is part of the little girl's birthday ceremony." After saying that, the surroundings were a lot quieter, I clapped my hands again, and there was a band in the center of the banquet hall, and the music sounded, and a "Birthday Song" sounded.

The whole band sang this song, Xiaofu held a wrist-thick red candle in her hand, and two people in the back carried a fifty-inch two-tiered cake, yes! It's cake! I walked up to Xiaofu and turned out the candles, the next person carried the cake and followed me, the music stopped, the candles in the banquet hall were also lit, I walked in front of Li Jiancheng, there was surprise and joy in his eyes. Everyone in the room stared at the big cake behind me, no one had ever seen this white thing with all kinds of melons and fruits on it, and I smiled and said, "Make a wish, and blow out the candle." So that your wishes can be heard by the Buddha. ”

Li Jiancheng smiled and did so, then blew out the candle, "This is the most special gift I have ever received." ”

I asked Xiaofu to tell her subordinates to divide the cake among everyone in the room, "Let's try it, this pastry is made of eggs and white flour." ”

Seeing everyone carefully tasting it, everyone was surprised when they took a bite, and I knew it!

"Stinky girl, how do you do this, it's so delicious!" Li Yuanji looked at me with a creamy mouth, and I shook my head and looked at him helplessly.

"Moon girl, come, come to me, you did this?" Mrs. Li smiled and beckoned to me, I walked over quickly, and the old lady took my hand.

I stood in front of her and replied with a smile, "Back to the old lady, yes." ”

"Well, that's good." Li Yuan on the side tasted it and nodded.

It seems that this gift has been very successful and has been recognized by everyone.

Just halfway through the banquet, a black figure appeared at the door, and the momentum... I looked at the man, and when he approached, I could see his face clearly by the candlelight, and the whole man exuded a kind of king air that was mighty in the world, and his handsome features seemed to be carved out of marble. I can't help but look at it twice every time.

"Second brother! You're back! Li Yuanji ran to the man excitedly, laughed and said, "You're late, you missed the pastry made by the stinky girl, but fortunately, I kept one for you." ”

"Hmm." just replied indifferently, and then he looked in my direction, and the invisible sense of oppression made me a little uncomfortable!

"The people of the world are back, come and sit down." Li Yuan greeted his second son with a smile.

I secretly looked at the three brothers of the Li family, and couldn't help but sigh that the genes of the Li family are really good, one or two are so good-looking, but although this Li Shimin has seen it, this is really different from what I imagined, shouldn't Li Shimin be a gentle and virtuous good emperor? It should be quite gentle in the books, how to give people a tyrant's rush! But also, how can the emperor who killed his own brother and his whole family be gentle, and how can he be gentle after many years of fighting, fighting, killing and killing things that are accustomed to blood. I looked at him secretly, but I didn't expect that he was also looking at me just now, looking at each other, and the next second he looked away, his dark eyes were emotions that I couldn't understand, and I couldn't help frowning.

Why did he come back today, thinking about it, he looked at him again, and saw that he took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Li Jiancheng, and said a few words of blessing in his mouth, it seemed that he had made a special trip back to attend the eldest brother's birthday banquet.

It's strange to me, the three brothers are obviously very compatible! How is it that historically it is not compatible?

Finally, after eating, everyone dispersed, I said goodbye to Mrs. Li, and asked Xiaofu to go back and explain to Duan Jingya first.

Came to the lotus pond to breathe, the meal just now was too breathless, then Zheng Guanyin is always looking for trouble, but tonight is also to help Sister A breath! I held a wicker stick in my hand and waved it against the flowers and plants on the side of the gravel road.

The bright moon hangs in the sky, because it is close to the middle of the moon, the moon is round, the sky is cloudless, the moonlight shines on the water surface of the lotus pond and reflects the waves, I walked to the pavilion in the lotus pond, I lie on the wooden chair of the pavilion and look up at the moon "No matter how long it takes, you are still the same, every month changes the full moon and the moon is missing, and the sun appears in the sky alternately." I don't know if what I see you is the same as what my mom saw years later. How stupid! How could you change. ”

The weather is getting cooler and colder, looking at the fish swimming in the pool, I've been here for more than half a year, I tried it last time, and I definitely can't go back, but I always have to plan for my future.

I got up, stood on a chair, and yelled at the pool, "Come on!" Can't give up! ”

"What can't you give up?"

"Mom!" The cold voice frightened me a little and couldn't stand up and fell into the pool, and when I saw that I was about to have a close contact with this lotus pond again, a force on my waist circled me and pulled me back, turning me around and I fell towards that person, my eyes widened in surprise, it was him! Li Jiancheng! Seeing his face getting closer and closer to me, "Boom! I fell to the ground with him like this, only to hear a muffled snort "um" after a stinging pain on his lips, a smell of blood came from his mouth, time seemed to stand still, I lay on him like this, he hugged me tightly with one arm, I looked up in panic and looked at his broken thin lips with bright red blood, I quickly got up, covered my lips and was a little overwhelmed by him, he also widened his eyes, sat up from the ground with a surprised face, raised his hand to touch the broken lips, frowned, and said, "What were you doing just now?" ”

I didn't answer him, because I didn't know how to explain what he had just done at the moment, and suddenly I saw that there was also some scraping on the back of his hand, was it just when he fell to the ground? I immediately took my handkerchief out of my bosom and wrapped it gently for him.

"That brother-in-law, remember to take the medicine when you go back, and... Thank you. ”

I stood up, he also stood up and patted the dust on his body, and didn't say anything, I felt that he looked so good and a little unreal, completely forgetting the accident just now, this is simply a character who came out of the comics!

I was about to leave, but after thinking about it, I stopped beside him and added, "That... Today's incident is just an accident, thank you, Sister A is still waiting for me, you can go to Sister A's house to accompany her more when you are free, one day, she will understand. Without waiting for him to speak, I walked out of the gazebo.

The person in the gazebo watched the slender and stubborn back leave his sight, and then raised his hand to touch his thin lips, what was the soft sweet taste just now? Why do you have some greed?

When he returned to the room, he collapsed on the quilt and covered his face in the quilt, "Shame on the dead, shame on the dead!" ”

The scene just now kept coming to mind, that gentle face, those watery eyes, and my pounding heart. I raised my hand to touch my lips, and the soft and slightly cool feeling just now still lingered on my lips, oh my! Duan Jing is good! He's your brother-in-law! I shut up and try not to let myself think!
