CHAPTER XXIII
In the past few days, I have to go out for a walk a few times after breakfast, a few laps after lunch, and I have to go out after dinner.
Ai'er asked me with an unknown look, "Sir, aren't you tired of going on such a trip, are you worried about Xuanxuan, afraid that he will fall off the list?"
Actually, I'm not worried about Xuanxuan, with my careful teaching, Xuanxuan is talented and intelligent, and there should be no major problems in winning the top three on the list.
I still have faith in mysteries, and I also have faith in myself.
It's just that I've been eating for the past few days.
A few days ago, I don't know who gave Xuan Xuan a box of rice cakes, and Xuan Xuan brought it to me, not only to stuff it into my mouth, but also to watch me finish the box.
I couldn't resist him, and then I ate it.
And then it was time to eat.
Although this method is simple and effective, it is very good, but I always feel tired and a little overwhelmed.
Sometimes, after I finished the circle, I was not in a hurry to go back to the room, ran to the back mountain, took a book and sat down against the tree to read, and it was an afternoon to look at it.
Bai Qingrui watched the ants move next to me, and said as she watched, "Sir, it's strange that an ant with such a small body can hold up food much bigger than himself."
I told her that "ants have very strong muscles in their legs and can carry food that is 5,000 times heavier than their bodies."
Bai Qingrui looked disbelieving and said, "It's so heavy, sir, you fool me."
I was stunned and said, "When have I fooled you, what I said is true, this is what I saw in the book."
Bai Qingrui raised her head to look at me, her eyes were full of admiration and said, "It's not a shame that my aunt recognized the literate gentleman, who knows so much."
I said very proudly, "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book."
Bai Qingrui was a little stunned, looked at me, saw that I was looking at the sky motionless, and swallowed back what I wanted to say.
Suddenly, there was a giggling laugh from the front, and I was looking at two young men I had never met.
The one who walked in front was wrapped in a purple shirt, trimmed with a jade belt around his waist, holding an ivory folding fan, and was of a medium and slightly chubby figure.
The one who walked behind was tall and elegant, wearing an elegant bamboo leaf pattern gown embroidered with ice blue silk, and a mutton fat jade hairpin, which set off his whole person very noblely.
The man in the purple shirt said with a smile on his face, "Fourteen, I'll just say, bet with me, every bet will lose." He stretched out his hand and said to the man behind him, "Bring it quickly."
The corners of the man's mouth moved, and he took out a piece of crimson jade from his arms and gave it to the purple-shirted man.
Bai Qingrui stood up and shouted, "Fourteenth Uncle, Seventeenth Uncle, were you betting just now, what to bet on, I'll listen to it."
The purple-shirted man said, "I'll bet with Fourteen that you'll watch ants in the backyard."
Bai Qingrui screamed, "Uncle Seventeen, you are cheating, obviously I told you first, this gamble is not counted, quickly return the jade pendant to Uncle Fourteen."
The man in the purple shirt rolled his eyes, looked at me, put his hand on his chin and pinched it, as if with a sense of surprise, "This good-looking girl is."
Bai Qingrui hurriedly said, "Fourteenth uncle, seventeenth uncle, this is Mr. Su who taught Xuanzhi literacy, this Mr. Su is a hero, and he also sacrificed his life to save my fourth uncle."
Then, Bai Qingrui set her eyes on me and said to me, "Mr. Su, the one in the purple shirt is my seventeenth uncle, and the other elegant and funny one is my fourteenth uncle."
I smiled at them and greeted them, "Fourteen is good, seventeen is good."
Seventeen Shao laughed, "If Qingrui hadn't told me, I really couldn't believe that such a weak woman could stand up and take the knife for others, it's really impressive."
I smiled embarrassedly, glanced up at the fourteen young man behind me, and saw that he was also looking at me.
The two looked at each other for two seconds and then looked away, and I grinned boredly and squeezed out a dry smile.
Seventeen Shao asked Bai Qingrui, "I saw you in a daze just now, did you encounter something that you didn't understand?" ”
Bai Qingrui said seriously, "Uncle Seventeen, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and what does it mean to have a golden house in the book."
Seventeen Shao grabbed the back of his head, held his face, rolled his eyes around, and shouted in his voice, "Who is Yan Ruyu, where is Yan Ruyu from, and where is the golden house from which he came."
Bai Qingrui hurriedly said, "In the book, didn't you say that there is Yan Ruyu in the book."
I said" "Yan Ruyu" refers to a young and beautiful woman, and "Golden House" refers to a prosperous and wealthy life.
Seventeen Shao smiled embarrassedly and said, "It turns out that this is the meaning, young and beautiful woman, do you have it in this book?" How to write it". When he finished speaking, he came to me and took the book in his hand and flipped it over.
The fourteen young man behind him finally couldn't help laughing, patted the seventeen young man on the shoulder, and said, "Seventeen, you should really read more books."
Seventeen Shao flipped a few pages from the middle, then threw them to me, pouting, "What, there are no young and beautiful women at all, they are all long texts that educate people, and I feel sleepy when I read such a book."
Then he looked at me and asked, "What's your name?" ”
I smiled and said, "Su Feifei."
He looked at me and smiled, repeating "Feifei". I still wanted to say something to me, but the fourteenth young man behind him said, "We should go, the eldest brother is still waiting for us in the hall."
After speaking, he put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked, and the pace was very fast.
Seventeen shouted, "Fourteen, wait for me." Hurriedly chased after him a few steps, and the two disappeared together under a yellowed forest.
In order to wash the dust for the fourteenth and seventeenth, and the eleventh youngster, Bai Zhanqi specially prepared a banquet.
Invite the young masters, young ladies, and wives in the mansion to the front hall.
I missed the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner on the grounds that I was not feeling well, and I couldn't make up any other reason for this today, so I had to go too.
As soon as it was dark, the banquet was set up, and there were three full tables, one table for the general, Mrs. Mu, his wife, and the major generals.
I shared a table with Bai Qingrui and the ladies in the house, and Xuan Xuan and a few children were at a table plus the mothers who were feeding.
Mrs. Mu's table was crowded, and Seventeen spontaneously came to our table and sat in the empty seat next to me.
Surrounded by a group of our women, it can be regarded as a little green among thousands of flowers.
Bai Qingrui teased him, "Uncle Seventeen, listening to the nagging of a group of us, do you still have the heart to eat?" ”
Seventeen Shaomu was leaning up, his face was slightly red, he looked at me and smiled at me.
It can be seen that he is also very embarrassed.
heard the fourteenth young man shouting at him, "Seventeen, what are you doing in the women's pile, you are still a dignified major general."
The maidservant who was waiting on the side seemed to notice something unusual, and hurriedly moved a round stool out of the inner room.
The seventeen young man couldn't wait to get up from me and sit down on the round stool.
It caused everyone present to laugh.
On the table are all kinds of precious foods in the mountains and seas, such as dragon liver and leopard gall, mountain delicacies and delicacies.
Not only that, for this family banquet, Mrs. Mu also lit a lot of candles in the mansion, and the whole Baifu candles were bright, dazzling, and full.
Bai Zhanqi only said vigorously, "My younger brothers have worked hard, they have been stationed in the frontier all the year round, and they have suffered a lot of hardships through wind and rain, if it weren't for this festival, thanks to the grace of the saint, I really don't know when I will be able to come back." After finishing the talk, his eyes were hot.
Mrs. Mu hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe it for the general.
Bai Zhanqi said, "In front of my younger brothers and sisters, I lost my temper and punished myself with three cups." Pick up the wine cup and drink it.
Mrs. Mu greeted everyone, "The food is cold, hurry up and eat the food, eat it while it's hot."
Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the food and drink were in full swing.
After a few glasses of wine, Chu Lianwei got up from the chair with a wine cup, walked to my side, looked at me, and said, "Mr. Su, there is a sentence that has been holding in my heart for so long, it really makes me curious, the last time Qingrui asked you, you didn't answer." Can you tell us today what kind of power can make Mr. Su willing to risk his life to save a stranger you have never met?"
I secretly said in my heart, what kind of trouble is this Chu Lianwei going to make today, in front of so many people, fighting with me, she is not ashamed, I can't afford to lose this person.
The last time Emperor Jin was here, he wanted to see me make a fool of myself, but I didn't succeed, and I was rewarded, this time, I don't think of you.
Calming down, I also got up from the chair and touched Chu Lianwei's cup with the wine cup.
This is called saluting first and then soldiers, doing first for respect, and the words are still behind. Don't rely on Bai Xiaoqiu to spoil you and love you, you can show off your power in front of me and do nonsense.
Knock smack. Let's give her something nice first, see her reaction, I cleared my throat, and said, "I often hear people in the house say that the young lady is a good housekeeper, ingenious, and cultivates both inside and outside, which is simply a sonorous rose in the white mansion."
That Chu Lianwei didn't appreciate it, and still didn't give up, "Mr. Su, don't come with me, I'm still waiting for your reply, where did you get the courage."
Since it can't be soft, then I'll come with some hard ones, and see what you can do to me, break the jar and break it.
So, I said the following sentence that even I couldn't believe, and I said, "Don't you know, young lady, I have long had a soft spot for your husband and secretly have feelings for you. When I was very young, I wanted to marry him when I grew up, but unfortunately he didn't hear from him later. I couldn't help but sacrifice my life to save me that time."
As soon as I said this, a room full of people booed.
Glancing at Bai Xiaoqiu again, he saw that the piece of chicken he had just picked up fell on the table, and Bai Yan Leng next to him was also trembling in shock.
One of the seventeen did not sit firmly, fell to the ground, and hurriedly helped up the stool and sat down.
The lively dinner just now suddenly became silent, and everyone swept their eyes towards me, even Bai Xuanxuan stared at me with a pair of big eyes.
Instantly, I felt like a duck grilled over a fire, hot from the roots of my hair to my toes.
Chu Lianwei giggled, "Mr. Su, what is the truth?"
Then she walked up to Bai Xiaoqiu, sat on his lap with a crooked body, and said fiercely, "But, Mr. Su, you don't have a chance anymore, Xiaoqiu, he won't want you, the person he loves is me, otherwise he wouldn't let you lose face in front of so many people, I think you still have this heart."
Looking at the beautiful wife in her arms, Bai Xiaoqiu said softly, "What Weiwei said is that I only love you alone in my life, you are drunk, let's go, I will send you back."
The room became quiet again, and everyone just ate the rice in their mouths, and there was no extra word.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mu hurriedly asked Ai'er to help me back to my room to rest.
