Xu Yuan's eyes were quick, and he reached out and grabbed Cheng Jingyun almost immediately.

Cheng Jingyun stabilized her figure, her little face turned pale, looked at Xu Yuan and smiled reluctantly, and said, "Thank you, sister." ”

If Xu Yuan hadn't dragged her this time, she might have really fallen into the water. Even though the mother-in-law arranged nearby is all good at water, but on such a cold day, when she is fished up, a wind chill must be inevitable.

Only Xu Yuan, Cheng Jingyun, and Cheng Jingqiu sat together on this small boat, Cheng Jingqiu was still sitting in the corner, and the mother-in-law who drove the boat was even farther away, so she couldn't stand Cheng Jingyun.

Sure enough, as soon as she went out, Xu Yuan had a headache, and couldn't help asking, "What happened to my sister just now?" Why did he suddenly fall to the side. ”

Cheng Jingyun didn't know it herself, but she felt that her head was suddenly a little dizzy, causing a gust of wind to blow, she didn't sit still, and she almost rolled down the boat. She said: "It's nothing, maybe it just blew a cold wind, and I couldn't stand it for a while." It worries my sister. ”

Xu Yuan said: "My sister is unwell, so let's go back first." ”

Coming to get acquainted with this cousin is the task assigned to her by her mother, Cheng Jingyun hurriedly said: "No need, I'm fine, it's almost here." ”

Xu Yuan just mentioned it casually and didn't insist anymore.

But Cheng Jingyun couldn't relax, and for a while, countless thoughts were entangled in her heart, and she naturally didn't think it was an accident. The relationship between the Cheng family is not as pure and simple as that of the Xu Mansion, several rooms live together, and the population is complex, Cheng Jingyun can hardly help but figure out everything with the heart of a villain.

It's just not the time to think about that. Cheng Jingyun's face was as usual, as if it wasn't her who almost fell into the water just now, and calmly continued to talk to Xu Yuan.

And Cheng Jingqiu also continued to be a transparent person next to her, she would make a noise when she talked to her, and she didn't jump out a word when she spoke.

Seeing the ladies coming up, the little maids in the pavilion who were weak willows supporting the wind and were playing the stove hurriedly came out to greet them.

Xu Yuan secretly said in her heart: This little girl is beautiful one by one, and she is really wronged by the fire in the pavilion.

After going to the pavilion, Xu Yuan found that it was indeed a good place with a wide field of vision, and said to Cheng Jingyun: "If it snows, it must be very beautiful." ”

"I just wanted to tell my sister this, this is the best place to see the snow."

"If it's summer, the scenery here is nice and cool, but there are a lot of mosquitoes, so you have to burn mugwort. If my sister wants to see it, she can come back in a few months. Cheng Jingyun added, and instructed the maid to set up a small oven.

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Then thank my sister for your kindness." ”

The three of them stayed here until noon.

After that, we get together for lunch.

Unlike the Xu family, where everyone is lively and lively, the banquet in Cheng's Mansion looks more serious, with men and women seated separately, and a screen in the middle.

Naturally, there was a lot of wine at the man's table. Cheng Guogong and his son-in-law Xu Qingyu are both characters who eat meat and drink a lot, and they are drinking heartily on their shoulders and backs, talking about everything from military affairs to folk customs and customs, anyway, they don't talk about anything elegant.

Although the three brothers of the Xu family did not drink as much as the two elders, they could not be underestimated, and at this time, the brothers were single-minded and lined up to pour their uncle's wine.

Several brothers of the Cheng family were a little dizzy from their drunkenness before, and they gave them a thumbs up in a daze, and stammered: "Powerful...... Terrible! ”

On the side of the female dependents, the Li family and the Cheng family sat together and chatted happily, and the two princes' wives, Yu and Du, were also in the excitement, and they also interjected from time to time.

No matter what era, a man drinking a little alcohol is nothing, and a deep amount of alcohol can become an advantage.

Yu glanced at the man's table, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, the men in Xu Mansion drink really unusually, and they have the demeanor of our father!" It's the juniors of our Cheng family, and the amount of alcohol is not good. ”

Yu is only two years older than Cheng, but he looks much older than her, with several wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and weathered sideburns.

Cheng frowned slightly when he smelled the wine, but still smiled: "What is this?" Speaking of wine, don't let the prince get too much of it, as the doctor said before. ”

Li Shi said: "I said that your father, now he has restrained a lot, today is happy, let him drink." ”

The men served the spirits, and the women also served a few amber plum wines.

The plum blossom wine is clear, the fragrance of flowers is greater than the smell of wine, and it is not intoxicating, but it is often drunk by women nowadays.

The people of Chengfu are thriving, but there are not many girls. In addition to Xu Yuan and the previous two ladies of the big house, there are only a few cousins at this table.

These young ladies just kept smiling at the table, not talking or moving chopsticks, and their sense of presence was worse than that of Cheng Jingqiu.

They have no sense of existence, and Xu Yuan feels that her sense of existence is too strong. After a meal, she didn't mention the care and greetings of Cheng and Li, just the envious eyes of those young ladies secretly made her a little unbearable.

It's just that this is in the home of an outsider, although it is uncomfortable, but it can't show anything unusual. Xu Yuan ate this meal quite painfully, and she didn't like the feeling of being the center of her vision.

Cheng Jingqiu and several other sisters toasted Xu Yuan's wine, Xu Yuan drank it with a smile, and also gave them a few glasses in return.

After a few glasses of wine, the meal was almost over.

Before they could rest for long, Cheng planned to return to Jinju and rejected Lee's idea of keeping them for dinner.

"Mother is good here, but there are many affairs waiting to be dealt with in the house, so I won't bother you here. If you have dinner and then leave, it will be difficult to walk in the middle of the night, and it will be inconvenient to walk. ”

Although Li was reluctant, he still sent his daughter and son-in-law's family out, and said when he parted: "It must be the second year of junior high school, if you are free, you can often walk around with me." ”

"This is natural," Cheng's eyes were also full of reluctance when he looked at Li, "Mother must pay attention to her body, and so does her father." ”

Men's nerves are always much thicker, and they are not as sad as women. Cheng Guogong smiled and said, "That's nature." You don't have to be sad, you will have a long time to come, and you will drink together in the future! ”

The originally sad atmosphere was diluted a lot by Cheng Guogong's words.

Thinking that his children were still behind, Cheng cheered up, looked upright, and made another solemn salute to his parents with Xu Qingyu.

The juniors followed closely behind, and they did not dare to slack off in this big gift.

Subsequently, the Xu Mansion and his entourage embarked on the road back to Jinzhou under the eyes of seeing them off one by one.

It wasn't until he saw the carriage gradually disappearing at the end of the road that Li reluctantly returned home.
