The red sun rises and the sky is clear.

Xiping Street, Xufu. Firecrackers rang out and guests were flooded.

The housekeeper Xu Fu stood at the door of Xu's mansion, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he kept saluting the guests.

The porter was singing loudly on the side—

"Master Li came to congratulate 1

"Master Lu came to congratulate 1

"Young Master Lin came to congratulate 1

"The king's shopkeeper came to congratulate 1

……

In the front yard, more than a dozen round tables, all covered with red silk cloth, were neatly placed in the courtyard. The guests sat around the table of five or six, chatting with each other while knocking melon seeds.

The maids shuttled through it, adding tea and pouring water, so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

In the garden, seven or eight children were running around and playing. The stage was played with drums and sheng, and some guests sat in front of them to watch.

In the wings, the servants are applying grease and powder, preparing for the stage to sing......

In the main hall, Xu Qinghe entertained his uncles and uncles in the clan with a smile.

Li Bozhou entered the main hall and saw his cousin busy in the crowd, so he hurriedly leaned in to pull her aside.

Xu Qinghe had no choice but to confess his guilt to his uncle and uncle first, and called Xu Ya to greet him, and then followed Li Bozhou to a secluded place.

"What does my brother-in-law do? Don't you see I'm busy? Xu Qinghe scolded lightly.

Li Bozhou smiled mysteriously and asked, "Cousin, have you invited Lord Shen to the birthday banquet?" ”

Xu Qinghe immediately shook his head and said, "Lord Shen is in a high position, how can I invite Xiaomin 1."

"Cousin-" Li Bozhou shouted, "In front of the little brother, you still pretend to be strange?" What is the relationship between Brother Ji Yuan and you, others don't know, don't Xu Fu know? ”

Xu Qinghe still shook his head, "I really didn't invite him." Most of the people who came today were relatives of their own family, and some businessmen who had business dealings with the Xu Mansion. ”

"Then if Brother Ji Yuan comes uninvited, how will my cousin be treated?" Li Bozhou looked at her and asked seriously.

Xu Qinghe immediately smiled and said, "How is it possible!" My brother-in-law is really worried. ”

Ordinary businessmen hold birthday banquets, and as a party assassin, they deign to congratulate them, which is simply unbelievable!

Li Bozhou coughed lightly, suppressed the smile in his throat, and said to the woman: "Cousin, I'm afraid that after today, everyone in Meizhou City will know that Lord Thorn Shi likes you——"

Xu Qinghe's apricot eyes widened, and he said in a panic: "Brother-in-law, don't bluff me!" Is he really coming? ”

Li Bozhou nodded, "Cousin, ask for more blessings1."

Xu Qinghe was suddenly flustered, barely stabilized his mind, and said to Li Bozhou: "I'm tired of my brother-in-law running to assassinate Shifu, be sure to stop him!" You must not let him come to the Xu Mansion—"

Li Bozhou shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, "Little brother is a showman, how can you stop Lord Thorn Shi 1."

"Aren't you good friends with him1 Xu Qinghe hurriedly said, "Go and help me stop him.1

Li Bozhou estimated the hour, and then stood there with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "Cousin, Lord Thorn Shi is here in the Xu Mansion, and it is an honor to be full of glory." Why wouldn't you? ”

Xu Qinghe saw that he was watching a play, and refused to help, glared at him fiercely, and scolded: "What's the good thing about him coming!" Today is to celebrate his mother's birthday, and if Lord Thorn Shi comes, all the guests will definitely go to greet him. ”

Li Bozhou laughed and said, "It turns out that my cousin is worried that Brother Ji Yuan will steal the limelight from my aunt——"

Naturally, that's not all. Xu Qinghe slandered.

In the backyard, Su Jingshu was accompanying Mrs. Xu to dress and change clothes.

"Auntie, isn't this new dress made by my cousin?" Su Jingshu asked with a smile while helping Mrs. Xu tidy up her clothes.

Mrs. Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Just look at these crooked stitches." Seiwa is also embarrassed to wear it for my birthday. ”

Su Jingshu smiled and said, "Except for the poor stitches, the clothing styles are the most fashionable. The aunt wore it on her body and looked younger. My cousin's vision is still very good—"

Mrs. Xu dressed up, looked at the figure in the glasses, and asked her, "Are you okay?" ”

Su Jingshu hurriedly responded: "Auntie's charm still exists, and our juniors are eclipsed." ”

Mrs. Xu smiled heartily and said, "You! Like Qinghe, just pick up some sweet words to coax me. ”

Su Jingshu smiled, looked at Mrs. Xu, who was dressed in new clothes, and said, "Auntie, let's go out1."

"Hmm-" Mrs. Xu replied with a smile.

Su Jingshu stepped forward to help Mrs. Xu, and the two walked to the front yard together, and the waiting maids followed quietly.

In the front hall, Xu Qinghe was talking to his brother-in-law, when he saw Lin Cheng walking towards them, he hurriedly smiled and saluted, and said politely: "Thank you Brother Lin for coming to my mother's birthday banquet." ”

Lin Cheng returned the salute and said, "What is the little sister polite to do." On my aunt's birthday, I should bring a heavy gift to congratulate her. ”

He turned sideways and said to Li Bozhou: "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?" ”

Li Bozhou also returned the salute and said politely: "Brother Lin, you and I haven't seen each other for three days, how can we afford not to see each other for a long time." Isn't it that Brother Lin doesn't see me for a day, just like every three autumns? ”

Lin Cheng laughed and responded: "It's not!" I miss Brother Li so much—"

Xu Qinghe listened to the exchange of words between the two on the side, got goosebumps, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, my brother-in-law has a family, you pry the corner of the wall like this, be careful that Mrs. Li does not spare you1."

Li Bozhou suddenly smiled heartily.

Lin Cheng also laughed a few times.

At this time, Su Jingshu helped Mrs. Xu into the main hall, and all the guests hurriedly got up to congratulate Mrs. Xu on her birthday, smiling and saying some festive words.

Mrs. Xu nodded her head with a smile in thanks.

Su Jingshu helped Mrs. Xu to sit down on the main seat, and the three or four ladies who were good friends with Mrs. Xu hurriedly came over and sat down to talk together.

Su Jingshu glanced around and saw her cousin and others standing in the corner, so she said to Mrs. Xu, "Auntie, I'll go talk to my cousin." ”

Mrs. Xu smiled: "Go!" You juniors are talking in one place. He said to Mrs. Sun, who was a good friend: "Our elders are talking in one place. ”

Mrs. Sun immediately said: "The juniors are very restrained in staying with us. ”

Mrs. Xu replied, "Not really! My family Qinghe has never listened to my nagging-"

When Su Jingshu saw the elders chatting, she smiled and saluted, took a step back, and turned around and walked towards her cousin.

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she immediately asked, "Qinghe is eighteen years old this year, right?" Can you decide to be a family? ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately frowned and said, "No! I gave Lang Jun Xiang, she couldn't like it. She herself is busy taking care of business all day long, and she can't meet a lover. ”

"You have to bother about this1 Mrs. Sun said hurriedly, "It's really an old girl if you don't get married again." ”

"It's not 1 Mrs. Xu replied, "My hair is a lot gray!" But she can't like it1

"There is a distant nephew in the Sun Mansion who has not yet started a family, and I see that he is also compatible with Qinghe." Mrs. Sun immediately offered advice, "Why don't you let the two of them meet another day?" ”

Mrs. Xu just wanted to accept it, and then remembered Lord Shen's incident, so she had to say helplessly: "Forget it." She's not in a hurry herself, I'm in a hurry. ”
