、、、、、、、、、、 Jiang Changyi sat down quietly to change clothes, but sneezed again, asked Xiaoba to take the money and reward Cai'er, and asked him to go to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of ginger soup.

The reward he gave was very generous, and his words were gentle, Cai'er glanced at the painting hesitantly, thinking that the dignified Duke of Zhu Guo's Mansion would not move a painting in the future, so he took the money and went forward.

As soon as Cai'er went out with the front foot, Jiang Changyi quickly stood in front of the table with the back foot, Xiao Ba grinded for him, he carried his own pen like flying, and also drew a roughly similar ink plum picture, also wrote a poem, and also left a small seal with him, and then rolled Xiao Xuexi's painting and handed it to Xiao Ba. Hachi went out sneakily, and soon a young man in a white coarse cloth came up to pick him up and whispered a few words to Hachi.

Xiao Ba nodded again and again, handed the painting to the young man, and turned around to pay attention to Jiang Changyi. The young man wrapped an old cloth around the painting and went back. The monkey came out from behind the holly bushes not far away and swaggered after him.

By the time Cai'er came back, Jiang Changyi had already changed his clothes and was waiting for his ginger soup. Xiao Ba glanced at the painting on the table, and when he saw that it was left untouched, he ignored it and sent Jiang Changyi away, so he took advantage of this to shrink his head in the pavilion to warm up, and did not go to other places to receive errands.

But he said that he followed Lu Fang and others to step on Qiong Crushed Jade and walked back, but saw that the sky was blue, lined with the snow in the garden, plum blossoms and strange stones, and there was a pool of blue water flowing slowly from east to west, with a beautiful scenery. Lu Fang looked behind Peony and looked again, he couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice, "Qilang, what about your little guy?" ”

Peony said with some embarrassment: "He said he had abdominal pain." ”

Lu Fang also blushed a little, and said in a low voice: "I went to this conference and didn't come back, could it be that I was lost?" I'm going to have someone find it for you, right? For fear of colliding with the nobles, be careful. ”

Peony thanked: "It's okay, my little guy is very safe, and wait, if you don't come back, I'll invite you again." ”

Xiao Xuexi looked back at Peony and Lu Fang, his brother was right, people like He Peony should actually be matched with Lu Fang, and Lu Fang is the right match. Thinking of the news I received last night, I said that Jiang Changyang was back, and he was in such a hurry to come back overnight, most of it was for her? Thinking of this, Xiao Xuexi's heart was sour, and the more she looked at the peony, the more she hated it, but she pretended to smile affectionately: "What are you muttering in the back?" So happy to say? Speak with me too. ”

Lu Fangdao: "I didn't say anything, I just thought the snow scene in this courtyard was good." ”

"If you don't tell me your secrets, forget it." Xiao Xuexi laughed, took a few steps back, walked side by side with Peony, took Peony's hand affectionately, and said sympathetically: "I didn't have time to tell you that things in you are really terrible." It's really hard for you to run away at a young age. He lowered his voice and was extremely concerned: "Say something that offends people, although you have the help of noble people now, it is difficult for noble people to take care of them thoroughly, and some of them are not properly cleaned up, and it will be difficult to be a person in the future." Raised his voice slightly, looking very cheerful: "But you don't have to worry, my brother will solve it smoothly if my brother tries it for you." He mentioned Liu Chang vaguely, and was filled with righteous indignation: "How can there be such a shameless person who takes advantage of the fire to rob ......"

Peony didn't believe that Xiao Xuexi didn't know about this at all, and this face was really no different from Xiao Yuexi. In terms of pretending, she is really far from being someone's opponent.

This banquet is set up on the water pavilion by the lake, and the partition windows around the water pavilion are all together, leaving only one side facing the snow scene on the lake, and a large copper brazier is erected around it, and the silver silk charcoal is lit, and then the incense is burned with the silver gilt beast incense burner, the warm incense hits people, and the snow is enjoyed at the same time. There are four men in wide robes and big sleeves who are about the same age as Xiao Yuexi, all of them are quoting scriptures and classics, and they are all quoting scriptures and laughing, and they are against the two pots of peony poems, and they are all exported into chapters, and they all seem to be not vulgar things, and they are really different from the banquets that Liu Chang focused on eating, drinking and having fun at the beginning.

It's just a little different from what Peony had expected, no servants are allowed to enter, and they can only serve outside. Peony thought about it for a while, and then entered.

Xiao Yuexi saw the peony, got up and smiled slightly: "I'm afraid you won't come, but fortunately you gave me this thin noodles." He said to everyone: "This is He Qilang." He pointed at Lu Fang again: "I don't need to say this, you all know it." ”

A man in a stone blue robe who was in the main position immediately got up and warmly welcomed Peony and Lu Fang into the table, and said with a smile: "We already know about Qilang's family affairs, and Brother Xiao's friends are our friends, so there is no need to worry." ”

Lu Convenient and Peony introduced: "This is Brother Xi, the master here." He reminded in a low voice: "The eldest father of the Jingzhao Yin family." ”

Xiao Yuexi saw the two of them whispering, so he said: "Shilang, Qilang is not familiar with her here, and I bother you to take care of her more." ”

Lu Fang was naturally obliged, but Peony saw Xiao Xuexi looking at him and smiled slightly, that smile was really annoying, so he turned his face over and went to enjoy the winter peony with Lu Fang. But see the two winter peonies from the south of the Yangtze River, both are single-petal species, their old branches seem to be dry, see the flowers without leaves, one petal purple, the petal base has purple black spots, the other petal pink, the petal base slightly purple spots.

Lu Fang watched it with relish, and even claimed to be surprised, but Peony was extremely disappointed. She thought that the winter peony recorded in the ancient books should be different from the modern one, but now it seems that they are all the same.

Xiao Xuexi said loudly: "I heard that the two of them are the best in the middle, and we don't know the name of this peony, so please don't hesitate to teach." Then he looked at Peony, as if he was fighting for Peony for the opportunity to show his face: "Qilang, you say it first." ”

Peony said softly: "Because its old branches seem to be dry, but they can pull branches and bloom, and when they bloom, they see flowers without leaves, and they seem to be withered branches blooming, so they are called withered branch peony." ”

"So you've seen it?" Lu Fang was greatly surprised, and then he was very impressed. But I can see the disappointment of Peony, thinking that she can't even look down on such a rare species, I don't know what treasures I know and hide, and my heart is itching for a while, and I can't wait to have a long talk with Peony Bingcandle and dig out everything Peony knows. I pestered the peony just to discuss the peony flower.

Xiao Yuexi and Xiao Xuexi glanced at each other, both of them comprehending.

Not long after, a thin and smiling young man came outside, and Xi Gong took a large glass full of wine to punish the young man: "Jiang Lang, you are late!" Penalty for drinking, punishment for drinking! ”

The young man didn't shirk it, took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. And they made him coax, and told him to drink a cup, but he did not push it, but drank it all. Xiao Yuexi smiled: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the younger brother of the Duke of Zhu Guofu, bold and generous!" ”

Peony couldn't help but glance at the young man carefully, guessing that it was probably Jiang Changyi, the first son of the Jiang family. Sure enough, Xiao Xuexi quickly came over and said in a low voice: "This is the first prince of Zhu Guogong, called Jiang Changyi." You don't know, do you? She didn't know Peony.

Peony shook her head, but saw Jiang Changyi walking over slowly, shyly saluting Xiao Xuexi, Xiao Xuexi put on the appearance of her brothers when she was courteous during that hunting trip, with long sleeves and good dancing, coaxing Jiang Changyi to smile, feeling that she was deeply valued.

Some people said that they used wine to persuade wine, and Peony saw that all the cups at the banquet were big cups, and knew that the drinking here was a booze, and he liked to pour himself and others, so he said bluntly: "I am not good at drinking, so I retired first." ”

Xiao Yuexi said: "Don't force it, as long as someone is willing to drink it for you." ”

Lu Fang was afraid that the peony would be at this table, so he hurriedly said: "Qilang, don't be afraid, I'll drink it for you!" Hearing him say that he was going to drink for others, some people covered their mouths and wanted to laugh, but Xiao Yuexi glanced at him lightly and swallowed the laughter back.

Peony refused, and suddenly saw the monkey coming in, pretending to hand her a handkerchief, and whispered: "Just respond." Then he went again. As soon as he went out, he was dragged and persuaded to drink along with other people's retinues.

So the wine Hu turned around, and then pointed to Peony or Lu Fang several times, and after a while, Lu Yi poured six full cups down, drank straight head, and looked a little dizzy. Xiao Xuexi smiled: "Qilang, you see that Shilang is not good, you have to drink a cup by yourself?" ”

"That's nature. Next time I'll drink it myself. Peony responded, sat and waited for the wine to stop, which Cheng thought that he would point to others many times in the future, among which Jiang Changyi and Xiao Xuexi were the majority, Xiao Xuexi drank a cup by himself, and said with a red face: "I can't do it anymore, I'll go to the back to blow the wind." Then he got up and left the table, and went back.

Jiang Changyi drank two more glasses in a row, but he was too strong to drink, and he only had time to confess his guilt, so he flew out and ran out. Xiao Yuexi didn't take it to heart, and only let people continue. Not long after, someone brought wine in, and whispered in his ear: "People are out of the palace, and they will agree as soon as they are invited, and the Tao will come immediately." ”

Xiao Yuexi nodded, signaling that the man was still going according to the original plan. He glanced lightly at the person who turned the wine beard, and the wine beard pointed to Peony and Lu Fang several times.

Peony drank two cups, Lu Fang drank four more cups, the more he drank, the more abnormal it became, his face was like a peach blossom, his eyes were like cold stars, his face was full of smiles, he grabbed the peony's sleeve nearby, leaned over and said with a cute smile: "Brother, you teach me how to plant flowers and recognize flowers." Okay? I also have some housekeeping skills, and I am willing to exchange them with you. I will not make you suffer. ”

Peony was angry and funny, pulled out his sleeve and said, "You're drunk!" Lu Fang was lying on the seat with a smile, just crawling to pull her, and didn't make any other moves, just shouted: "Good brother, good brother, can you teach me......"

"This guy is getting worse and worse." Xi Gong and a group of people just laughed and scolded, pretending to step forward to pull, but they couldn't pull it, he just stubbornly climbed towards the peony. Xiao Yuexi saw that things were not developing in the direction he expected, so he withdrew his hand, and shouted to stop him, but couldn't help but wonder, it stands to reason that Peony should definitely get drunk after drinking the second glass, but how could she not get drunk?

Peony stepped on Lu Fang's hand and kicked hard, poured a glass of cold wine on Xi Gong's face, got up and went out, and shouted loudly: "Expensive! Shun! "It's not expensive who came in, but Jiang Changyang.

Jiang Changyang passed over with a cold face, grabbed and shouted loudly: "Good brother, why are you stepping on me?" It hurts! Lu Fang, who was blowing ......", shook his hand and slammed him to the ground, and then looked at Xiao Yuexi and said coldly: "It seems that there is something wrong with Brother Ling." ”
