"The lanterns that the Chen family has begun to arrange in the past few days are colorful, and in the words of the summer solstice, it is to describe which girl wants to **. Of course, this description can only be stuffed in my heart, and I must not say it outside.

However, the Chen family's financial resources are several times higher than that of Tongxiangyuan, and they are also willing to spend their money, and the entire Chen family's mansion feels completely new, from the decoration to the decoration of the subordinates. Moreover, in the past few days, relatives and friends who are close to each other have moved in, and Mr. Chen's main courtyard, Chen Heng's east courtyard and Chen Huan's west courtyard have visitors to move in, and it is lively and lively every day.

Xia Zhi is the focus of Mrs. Chen's care, and she can only be active in the West Courtyard, so she temporarily came into contact with the two cousins who lived in the West Courtyard and were good friends with Chen Huan. Because the age difference is not big, they can usually talk together, but this time, with Mrs. Chen's birthday, several young people almost flew up every night. The attitude towards the summer solstice is also mostly teasing and ridiculing, and generally getting along is quite harmonious.

This day is finally Mrs. Chen's birthday, and early in the morning, the main courtyard begins to set up a stage to sing, beating gongs, drums, and pianos to create a celebratory atmosphere. The opera troupe is specially invited to the Qingyu class, the most prestigious local troupe, even the pillars have set the program, and they will perform on stage in the evening, which can be described as earning enough face.

Guests from all walks of life came to celebrate one after another, the pomp and circumstance of the big drag family with the mouth of the carriage long dragon mighty, the pomp and circumstance is smaller is also a lot of gifts do not fall behind, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magnificent scene of a sea of people. Outside the gate, people were also arranged to scatter copper coins on the hour, so many people were looking forward to it, and it was even more impassable.

Xia Zhi took the copied scriptures early in the morning, and of course Mrs. Chen didn't have time to deal with her, so she asked the Fang steward to supervise and inspect on her behalf. Steward Fang flipped through it hastily, and it was of course easy to see that there were several kinds of handwriting mixed in it, but Mrs. Chen's original intention was just to trap Xia Zhi and not let her run around, so seeing that the number of transcriptions was passable, Steward Fang didn't make any more trouble, and waved his hand to let her go. However, before Xia Zhi left, he still solemnly reminded him, saying that he should not run around and conflict, and the other guests were not joking, although Xia Zhi did not want to cause trouble, he repeatedly said that he was perfunctory and retreated.

All the way from the main courtyard to the west courtyard, I met a lot of guests dressed up, gathered together before the banquet began, or contacted feelings or talked about business, and the leisurely stroll had the atmosphere of a garden party. Everyone didn't know each other, and after a few words of meeting, Xia Solstice couldn't help but speed up his pace, which can be said to be an escape back to the West Courtyard.

Chen Huan's Baihuan Garden had already been set up early, and the two cousins and several other noble sons gathered together to drink first. They are all gentlemen who will enjoy having fun, and everyone here knows the relationship between Chen Huan and Xia Zhi, so as soon as Xia Solstice arrived, he was poured a few cups under various names, but fortunately, Chen Huan was biased and stopped, so he would not be drunk all the way.

Taking advantage of the interval, Xia Zhi quietly asked Chen Huan,

Chen Huan replied.

The sons and brothers present were not happy, and they coaxed together and let the gaffe Xia Zhi drink a few glasses in a row.

When the wine was drunk, someone came over and said something in Chen Huan's ear. Chen Huan got up and said goodbye,

Xia Zhi saw where she could do this, if she was left alone in the wolf's den, it was estimated that she would not be able to survive the opening of the banquet and die of drunkenness, so she hurriedly stuck to it,

Another joke. However, in the end, Xia Zhi still followed Chen Huan out as he wished, got into the carriage from the small gate of the west courtyard, and drove away from Chen's house with a shout.

The summer solstice was dizzy,

Chen Huan went out just now and brought a small pot of wine by the way. On top of this kind of banquet, many merchants who sell wine regard it as a business opportunity to promote their own wines, and they also do favors, so why not kill two birds with one stone.

Xia Zhi understood, but Old Man Zhang's strange temper was not accurate.

Because of the last time, Xia Zhi did not follow up recklessly, and obediently waited for Chen Huan's good news outside the door. However, she was not idle, distributing snacks such as candies and candies to the workers in the workshop, and everyone was happy.

It didn't seem to be going very well in the utility room, and Chen Huan didn't come out for a while. Xia Zhi was a little impatient, thinking that it would be good to be careful not to be discovered, so he sneaked to the door and listened to the movement inside.

Who knew that the house was also drunk early, a plate of peanuts and a pot of hot wine, and it was actually possible to drink it with relish. Chen Huan is still the role of the little brother who pours wine, and poured a glass of wine for Old Man Zhang, with the same respectful attitude as ever.

Old man Zhang tasted it and smacked his lips,

Sure enough, it is still a critical attitude, as if every wine can find its shortcomings. Even if you really have real talent and real learning, there is no need to always step on someone.

Chen Huan once again mentioned the topic of banquets.

Old man Zhang raised his eyebrows, looking at it with the intention of going, but he kept twisting his posture.

Chen Huan's sworn guarantee.

The hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again, and Old Man Zhang's angry kung fu was even more clever than hanging the top card of the guest. Xia Zhi couldn't help but snort outside the door.

Old man Zhang sneered. “
