Mrs. Li set up seven or eight tables in her garden to entertain these sons and young ladies. Chu Lan originally wanted to help her mother, but Mrs. Li said, "Today is your birthday, you can greet these young ladies and gentlemen, it is enough for me and your father to be here." ”

Chu Liang stood on the side, Chu Yaozuo did not smile, and Mrs. Li patronized and talked to Chu Lan and the distinguished guests on the other side. Chu Liang suddenly felt a little lonely, she looked at Mrs. Li and thought of her mother, who had been dead for many years. Mother's voice and smile, Chu Liang couldn't remember clearly. She wants to go home, she wants to go back to Changshan, she misses her father. Shanyan saw that Chu Liang was distracted, and patted Chu Liang gently, Chu Liang came back to his senses, and the surroundings were still so lively.

Chu Lan's family came to a lot of distinguished guests, Chu Li only knew one or two, Chu Lan took the distinguished guests to the garden to sit down. Ruyang wanted to sit with Chu Li, but Chu Li couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree.

Childe, the ladies sat together in twos and threes. Chu Lan said: "It's not interesting for us to just drink, it's better to play a small game, one person comes out of the last sentence, and the other person takes the next sentence, the first word of the next sentence and the last word of the previous sentence must be the same word, and those who can't catch it will be punished with a cup." Everyone said yes and nodded in agreement.

Chu Lan raised his cup, took a sip, and said, "Since it was me who started, I will come first, and the shadow will enter the water flow of the Pingqiang River." ”

Below Chu Lan is Chu Li, Chu Li said: "The flowing water falls and the flowers go in spring." ”

Now to Ruyang, Ruyang said: "There is no wind and rain and no sunshine." ”

……

"The white clouds have been empty for thousands of years."

After saying that, Xie Shaoqing smiled: "I can't even remember the poem." After finishing speaking, after a drink, everyone laughed and said: "It is said that the Seven Princes are rich and have five cars, but today they are poor in words." ”

Xie Shaoqing's face was slightly red, and he said with a smile: "Xie Mou is not talented, which makes everyone here laugh." ”

Everyone made fun of Xie Shaoqing for a while. Chu Lan kept looking in the direction of Xie Shaoqing.

Chu Liang drank two glasses of wine, and his heart was not very comfortable, so he made an excuse to go out and wake up. Xie Shaoqing saw that Chu Liang had gone out, so he followed.

Chu Liang didn't remember the road very well, she wanted to find a place where no one was to sit, and met Chen Yanzhi and Chen Guan in the direction of the turning of the rockery.

Chu Liang wanted to see Chen Yanzhi day and night, and when he saw Chen Yanzhi at this moment, he couldn't be happier in his heart. was about to greet Chen Yanzhi, but Chen Guan said before Chu Liang spoke: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Miss Chu here." Chen Yanzhi gave a salute and said lukewarmly: "Miss Chu is good." ”

The sound of a girl made Chu Liang stunned for a moment, and Chen Yanzhi's face was expressionless, as if he didn't know her.

Chu Liang suddenly understood, it turned out that he was all self-inflicted, no wonder Jiang Yingyue said that Chen Yanzhi was not as good as she thought, no wonder the Chen family has never announced Chen Yanzhi's marriage contract to the public, and let the matchmaker come to the door to talk about the matchmaker. Chu Liang always thought that this was just the meaning of Chen Yanzhi's parents, and never thought about Chen Yanzhi's attitude. I am afraid that everything Chen Yanzhi's parents have done, Chen Yanzhi has acquiesced.

After Chen Yanzhi learned that Chu Liang came to Jiangcheng, he always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Chu Li, so he made it clear to Chu Liang on Chu Lan's birthday, although the Chen family planned to wait for Chu Zhi to return to Linjiang City to deal with this marriage contract.

At this moment, Chen Guan was beside him, and Chen Yanzhi thought that Chen Guan didn't know about his marriage to Chu Li. On the contrary, it was difficult for him to open his mouth to talk to Chu Li.

Chu Liang couldn't help but retreat, Xie Shaoqing didn't know when he appeared behind Chu Liang, and reached out to help Chu Liang.

Chu Liang looked at Chen Yanzhi with a smile, and said word by word: "I heard that Chen Yanzhi and Chen Gongzi have been proud of the spring breeze recently, congratulations." ”

Chen Guan pretended to be surprised and said, "It turns out that you know each other." ”

Chu Liang said: "Chen Guan Gongzi misunderstood, I just heard it. ”

Chen Yanzhi knew that Chu Liang was angry, but he didn't know what to say, so he was silent.

Chu Liang held up an open flame in his heart, and the more he looked at Chen Yanzhi's face, the more angry he became, so he brushed his sleeves away. After Xie Shaoqing, Chen Guan, and Chen Yanzhi exchanged pleasantries, they turned around and walked in the direction of Chu Li. Chen Yanzhi has been paying close attention to Xie Shaoqing's every move since he and Chu Liang appeared, and he secretly thought about it in his heart.

Chu Liang walked to a rockery, and next to the rockery was a clump of bamboo, which just covered her. She crouched down and stared at the sky in amazement. suddenly felt that nothing was interesting, she was told that she had a marriage contract with Chen Yanzhi since she was a child, so she didn't know when she had been silently paying attention to Chen Yanzhi.

Chu Li's heart was empty, with mixed feelings. She kept picking the bamboo leaves next to her, as if she could vent her hatred. She inadvertently looked to the right, and Xie Shaoqing was sitting on the rock, looking at her with his right hand holding his head.

Chu Liang was a little embarrassed when he thought of his gaffe just now, stood up and asked, "When did you come, why didn't you make any sound at all." ”

Xie Shaoqing smiled: "I've been here for a long time, but the girl didn't see it." It's been a long time since we've been out, it's time to go back. ”

Chu Liang was in a bad mood and sneered: "The two of us? I've only met Childe twice, so I'm probably not an acquaintance. ”

Xie Shaoqing walked up to Chu Li, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Once born, twice cooked." What's more, the girl and I have met more than twice in Zuiyue Tower. ”

Chu Liang turned his head and said, "Childe and the girl who have met a few times are acquaintances?" ”

Xie Shaoqing stretched out his right hand, grabbed Chu Li's sleeve, and said, "I am not a frivolous person who accosting girls everywhere. ”

Chu Liang broke free of Xie Shaoqing's hand and said, "What kind of person you are has nothing to do with me. Chu Liang felt very annoyed, suddenly squatted down, and said with a crying voice: "Can you stay away from me." ”

Xie Shaoqing handed a handkerchief from his arms and said, "I, I, I didn't mean to make the girl angry, there is a good saying, the past cannot be admonished, and the future can still be chased." ”

Chu Liang didn't take Xie Shaoqing's veil, she felt very annoyed in her heart, and she couldn't listen to anything: "What do you know." After saying that, he walked to the garden, but fortunately there were not many tears, and the tears dried quickly.

Xie Shaoqing was about to catch up, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, Xie Shaoqing looked back and saw that it was Ruyang.

Ruyang said: "Seventh brother, what did you say just now, and the tears that the girl said came out. ”

Xie Shaoqing was a little upset, and waved his hand: "You didn't say anything, you didn't squeak, just stood behind silently, I want to see your brother's jokes, right?" ”

Ruyang saw Xie Shaoqing touching his nose, he couldn't help but cover his stomach, and smiled flamboyantly: "Seventh brother, you also have today, the girl is sad, you want to take advantage of it." ”

Xie Shaoqing was a little unhappy, and glanced at her sister coldly: "You know a lot." ”

Ruyang put away his smile and said seriously: "Seventh brother, you can't do this, you have to take your time." ”
