Chapter 30: The Family Feast (3)

 、、、、、、、、、、

On the side hall, the banquet has been arranged, there are two seats, the large round table carved with the pattern of flowers and birds has been placed on all kinds of exquisite dishes, and the girls are busy back and forth, so lively.

At first sight, I guessed which guest Madame Yu would invite, but I never thought that that person would be Cui Yin.

Obviously, Yu Jingxiang and Yu Xueling also didn't expect to see Cui Yin here, looking at the expressions on their faces that changed instantly, they were sure that Mrs. Yu invited Cui Yin to the banquet at first sight, and no one knew about it.

"Mother" walked up to Mrs. Yu when she first saw her, bowed softly, and smiled at Cui Yin when she raised her mantis.

"Here, come and sit down, today my mother invited Master Cui to have a light meal together, Lord Cui is now the editor of the Hanlin Academy, I met Lord Cui for the first time." Madame Jade maintained her noble and dignified temperament, and her voice was gentle.

Cui Yin looked at the first meeting in a daze, it had been a month since the last time they met, and the beloved he had been thinking about day and night was in front of him, but he felt that she was far away from him.

"Master Cui" looked at Cui Yin for the first time, and when he saw his burning and infatuated eyes, he sighed secretly in his heart.

"At first sight, it doesn't have to be this way." Cui Yin hurriedly stood up, his elegant face turned red, he would take it for granted when others saluted him, but he only felt embarrassed to accept such a big gift when he first saw him.

"Master Cui" Yu Jingxiang and Yu Jingjun squeezed away Yu Xueling, and the two came to Cui Yin with very gentle, sweet smiles on their faces, and bowed elegantly.

When she first saw standing behind Mrs. Yu, she glanced at Mrs. Yu with a smile, she guessed her mother's thoughts, what did she want to invite Cui Yin to do? It's not as simple as wanting to fall into Yu Xueling's face, I believe that my mother hasn't put Yu Xueling in her eyes yet.

"Don't be polite, two girls." Cui Yin sweated on his back, he didn't recognize the two girls in front of him, maybe he had seen them before, but now he didn't have any impression at all, but what appeared here was about a guest or relative of the Yu family, and he still treated it politely.

"I really didn't expect my aunt to invite Master Cui, I have heard of Lord Cui's elegance for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really true." Yu Jingxiang deliberately lowered her voice, softly, and looked at Cui Yin with affection.

I almost laughed at the first sight, this Yu Shizuka's voice is really like the sweetness brewed after eating two catties of sugar and drinking half a bucket of honey.

"Yes, yes, Master Cui, you really know everyone in Ningcheng." Yu Jingjun secretly glared at Yu Jingxiang, dissatisfied with being robbed of the limelight by her.

Cui Yin smiled a little reluctantly, there were countless women who showed him favor during this time, but none of them could make him tempted, he looked back at the first time, and saw that her expression was indifferent, as if she didn't mind at all, he felt even more disheartened, it turned out that it was really just him who was amorous, she had always only regarded herself as a friend, just a friend.

Chu Jian avoided Cui Yin's eyes, and turned his head to look at the other people who were walking into the side hall, and they seemed to be about to come over to greet Cui Yin.

This effeminate teenager...... Before you know it, you have become a person that people look up to.

Looking at his natural demeanor, he easily talked with a room of people, greeted, intentionally or unintentionally rejected every lady and girl who wanted to kiss him, there were about twenty people in this side hall, men and women, busy girls back and forth, for noisy, for lively, the first time I sat quietly with Mrs. Yu, like a theater watcher.

"Mother, why would you have invited Cui Yin to come?" said that it was a family banquet, why is there an extra Cui Yin? When I first saw the corner of my eye, I glanced at Yu Xueling, who had been silent on the side since she entered the door, and saw her and Chen Zhenhui standing in the corner, their eyes chasing Cui Yin's figure with sadness and hatred.

"I invited Master Cui before, but he was not free, and today he is rarely free, so he is invited." Madame Yu explained softly, her eyes seemed to be flickering towards Cui Yin.

When I first saw this, I raised my eyebrows and wanted to ask again, but Mrs. Yu had already stood up and beckoned everyone to take their seats, and the banquet should begin.

Master Yu is not there, Mrs. Yu is the head of the family, after she takes the main seat, from the left hand side is the Yu family's uncle and wife, as well as Chengnan Uncle's family, on the right hand side is Cui Yin, the first time I saw and a few cousins and cousins sat at another table.

When Chen Zhenhui heard that she was seated, she took Yu Xueling and walked to Mrs. Yu's table, wanting to sit down.

"Cough" Mrs. Yu coughed lightly and said softly to Chen Zhenhui, "Aunt Chen, this is the position of the aunt, and your position is at that table." Madame Jade pointed to the two vacant seats at the table where she first saw them, and whispered.

Chen Zhenhui's eyes widened. "You want me to sit with a bunch of kids?"

"Aunt Chen, you can already eat at the same table with us, and our concubine is not qualified to eat with us." The eldest aunt snorted and glanced at Chen Zhenhui with disdain.

Chen Zhenhui was angry, but she didn't dare to say more, so she could only sit at another table with Yu Xueling and eat as if she was angry.

Mrs. Yu's resentment and hostility towards Chen Zhenhui only smiled faintly, and turned to Cui Yin and said, "Master Cui, don't dislike it." ”

"Mrs. Yu is polite, how can this be considered coarse tea and light rice." Cui Yin smiled gently, he had gone through a day of non-stop meals, and the coarse tea and light rice in the mouth of the jade lady was simply delicious in the world for him at that time.

Mrs. Yu let go of a smile and glanced at Liniang behind her, and Liniang quietly retreated.

"When I first saw Lord Cui, I knew that you were definitely not a thing in the pool, and today you are really a person who stands out, and you are the champion of Dongning City." The eldest uncle raised his wine glass and looked at Cui Yin flatteringly.

Cui Yin hurriedly picked up the wine glass, a glass of wine fell into his stomach, Cui Yin's fair cheeks floated a layer of drunken red, he didn't drink well or badly, but as soon as he drank, he would blush, making him look more beautiful and charming.

"If it weren't for the Yu family, where would Yin be beautiful today, Mrs. Yu, this glass of wine is Yin to you." He was grateful to Hatsumi and Madame Yu, and had been looking for a chance to repay him, but he didn't know what they needed his help for, and they didn't need him to repay him at all.

"Lord Cui is exaggerating, if it weren't for your own talent and intelligence, how could you be appreciated by the current emperor and handpicked you as the champion." Madame Yu raised her wine glass and touched Cui Yin, she took a sip of wine, and said to Cui Yin in a soft voice.

"Come, let's all toast Master Cui, and congratulate Lord Cui on his bright future." The eldest uncle shouted and asked everyone to toast Cui Yin.

Chu Jian shook his head lightly, and looked at Yu Xueling with some pity, she was rejected by Cui Yin, and now that the two meet, they are like strangers, Cui Yin has not even looked at her, and her infatuation has finally not been answered.

Cui Yin's eyes collided with the first sight, his eyes were bitter and longing, the first time he smiled, raised the wine glass and congratulated him silently, Cui Yin smiled bitterly, and then noticed another burning gaze, he was slightly stunned, and his blushing face was a little embarrassed, it was Yu Xueling...... He smiled at her a little apologetically, he refused her marriage at the beginning, and he didn't think that a woman's reputation was as important as her life, so she became a joke in Ningcheng, he really couldn't bear it, but in his heart, his wife only wanted to see one person for the first time, and he couldn't fall in love with other women.

After a round of toasting, I finally quieted down to eat, Mrs. Yu's table focus has been on Cui Yin, and when I first saw this table, my eyes were mostly looking at Cui Yin...... It's really easy to get indigestion when you eat.

At first sight, she looked down at the amusement, she didn't eat breakfast in the morning, and now that the Five Organs Temple was starting to famine, she decided to ignore the comparison of the turmoil in the side hall, and talk about it when she was full.

"Master Cui, you have a bright future now, why haven't you been married yet? But is there a girl you like? The eldest aunt asked tentatively, and suddenly, everyone quieted down and looked at Cui Yin.

Cui Yin was a little embarrassed, he believed that everyone here actually knew that he had said in front of the matchmaker that Yu Xueling had found that he would not marry for the first time in this life, and now they asked him like this, it was clear that he wanted to ask for certainty here, but what did he say about this? When I first saw him, it was already clear that I would only be friends with him, and if he said here that she would still not marry, I was afraid that it would cause her more trouble.

"Thank you for your concern, Yin will not consider marriage matters for the time being." He sighed and replied with a faint smile.

Mrs. Yu's eyes raised slightly, and she said softly, "Master Cui is a champion and has reached the age of marriage, if you have no wife and no concubine, wouldn't it be a joke, there should be a female servant by your side." ”

"The sound is quiet by nature, and it is difficult to find a suitable maid to serve, and I am used to being alone." Cui Yin replied, deliberately reversing Mrs. Yu's meaning.

Mrs. Yu smiled even brighter, "This is true, when Lord Cui lived in the warm garden, it was only Qiu Yu who served you alone." ”

Cui Yin was stunned, and she didn't know why Mrs. Yu wanted to mention Qiuyu.

At first sight, I understood, mother...... Do you want to give Qiu Yu to Cui Yin? In front of everyone like this, it was said that Qiu Yu was the only one who served Cui Yin at that time, and it was not after Qiu Yu was broken, unless he didn't marry in this life, he could only follow Cui Yin.

Why would a mother do this? I didn't understand at first sight, did Qiu Yu agree? That girl also likes Cui Yin.

"It turns out that Master Cui likes a girl like Qiu Yu, so it's better to ask Mrs. Yu to be a concubine or a girl in a warm house." The eldest aunt is a transparent person, it is clear that she has two daughters, if one of them can marry Cui Yin, it is not bad, she echoed the meaning of Mrs. Yu at this time, but also so that Mrs. Yu can say a few words for Shizuka and Jingjun in the future.

Cui Yin's face flushed, and he didn't know if it was because of alcohol or embarrassment, he waved his hand, "How can this be, Mrs. Yu, Yin ......"

"Why not? You don't have to ask for it, anyway, I originally meant it, Qiu Yu has served you, and it is impossible to serve others again, Master Cui, today I will promise Qiu Yu to you as a concubine, and there is someone around you to serve, isn't it good? "Don't give Cui Yin a chance to refuse, Mrs. Yu has already asked people to pass Qiu Yu over.
