Zhuang Jue entered the inner room. looked around, but didn't see anyone in Ku Qi.

He thought to himself, maybe Yu Qi had taken the medicine to rest? Turning to go out, he suddenly heard a low sound of sobbing from the bedroom.

Zhuang Tortoise tiptoed up the curtain and walked into the bedroom.

Near the door, the door behind the curtain was closed.

Zhuang Jue felt strange, on weekdays, the door of this house was never closed, and it was closed at this time. What's even more bizarre is who is crying inside? He looked through the crack in the door, and just saw Yu Qi wiping his tears and sitting opposite Zisu, who frowned and looked at Yu Qi.

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but be very puzzled in his heart, and it was not easy to call and disturb.

I only heard Yu Qi solemnly give Zisu and said: "Just this matter, you have to rely on me." ”

After a while, Zisu replied, "I'll depend on you." ”

In this way, seeing Yu Qi laughing, Zhuang Jue heard the laughter, and was swayed, happy and pityful. The gesture was a little uncontrollable, and it made a noise when it touched the knocker.

Yu Qi was startled and let out: "But Sanxi? ”

Zhuang Jue took a step or two back, woke up his throat, and replied, "Sister, it's me." ”

As he spoke, Yu Qi had opened the door and came out, his face was a little blank, and he was smiling, the pearl of his eyes, and there were a few tears.

Zhuang Jue had just heard some words, and in order to show respect, he smiled: "Why is my sister closed the door?" So he stretched out his head inside, looked at Zisu, and said, "Didn't she make her sister angry and scold her angrily when she closed the door?" ”

Yu Qi wanted to fight back.

Zhuang Jue didn't say, and said: "My sister is a very ordinary person on weekdays, so it's hard to be hungry at the old lady's, and I'll come back to find the girl to vent my anger." Yin Xiangzi said: "But there are still pastries?" Take it and eat it again. ”

In this way, without waiting for Yu Qi to reply, he pulled out and sat down by the kang in the middle.

Just after sitting down, Zisu had already gone to bring out the pastries and served another pot of tea. Zhuang Jue told Yu Qi that he didn't have to go to school in the near future, and he wanted to take this opportunity to go out and have fun, and call Su Yuan, Cao Yingguan and a few close friends together. Based on where to go and what to play, there is no name. Yu Qi didn't ask her, only responded lightly, and didn't refuse or nod.

Yu Qi is mostly worried about Huiyuan, where to care about Zhuang Jue's play.

Zhuang Jue then said: "When the time comes, I will call He Hongzao and the young master in the Tong Mansion as well." If you don't feel hot enough, I'll call the brocade girl. Isn't Mr. Kwan leaving? We had a lot of fun, and he couldn't find his way back. In this way, you can stay, and Sister Ayu can also stay to help you take care of your body. How nice! ”

Zhuang Zhuang was thoughtful.

If Zhuang Yu wants to play, he just wants to keep Ayu, right? Yu Qi thought in his heart, after all, this is what he meant.

Therefore, Yu Qi said: "When Mr. Guan comes back, he will return to Shudi." What do you have to leave behind? ”

Zhuang Jue smiled and said, "You are doing your best, you can control where Mr. Guan goes." Sister, you know what I mean. ”

Yu Qi smiled gratefully, picked up the tea and wanted to eat, so as to hide the unbearable under his smile.

At this time, Ayu walked in with tears in her eyes, followed by Sanxi and Huiyuan one after the other, in the shape of comfort and fruitlessness.

Yu Qi saw it first, and Zhuang Jue turned his head to look back.

Seeing Ayu like this, Zhuang Jue got up lightly and asked softly, "Sister Yu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ayu burst into tears and said nothing.

Yu Qi got up, went to support Ayu, and sat down. Seeing that Ayu was reluctant to speak, he said to Zhuang Jue: "Third brother, you go back first!" ”

Zhuang Yu didn't want to leave, so he asked Ayu what was wrong. Ayu refused to speak, and cried to herself. For the rest, Zhuang Jue and Yu Qi looked at each other, and Yu Qi signaled that he would return first. In desperation, Zhuang Jue shook his sleeves and said: "It must be that the second brother has made a mistake again and bullied others." I'll go back and talk about the second brother. ”

After saying that, he shook his head and lifted the curtain.

Ayu turned around and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Yu Qi looked at Sanxi and Huiyuan, and had the meaning of solving. Sanxi couldn't bear to speak, and Zhang Ba'er wanted to speak and stopped. Seeing this, Yu Qi shook her head and asked her not to say anything, and motioned to buy tea. Sanxi went.

After a while, the tea came, and Yu Qi took it from Sanxi's hand, poured it for Ayu in person, and sent it to him. Again: "The girl drinks tea." ”

Ayu wiped away her tears, took it, and said embarrassedly: "Let the girl smile." ”

How could you ever laugh? Yu Qi's heart was shocked. If it weren't for the unexpected situation of relatives and friends, maybe there would not be such grievances. Why not? But how can he be so justifiable and cry in front of others?

When Yu Qi thought of himself, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but be born.

Ayu felt a little out of shape, so she restrained her emotions and said, "Let the girl worry." ”

Yu Qi reached out to hold the back of Ayu's hand and shook his head.

Ayu said: "It should be said that my own affairs don't bother others, and now I have to live here for the time being." It's going to cause trouble for the girl. ”

From what I said, I guess Mr. Guan had an accident, and Ah Yu couldn't walk right now, or Mr. Guan's incident was serious, and Ah Yu was so sad.

Thinking of this, Yu Qi didn't want to ask, but only reassured Ayu.

Ayu had a story in her heart, but she didn't say it, and a few people sat down for a while. After appeasing Ayu to rest, Yu Qi called Huiyuan and Sanxi in to ask carefully, and both of them shook their heads and said they didn't know. Yu Qi wondered in his heart, hadn't the two of them been waiting outside? How do you not know? Sanxi said that the second master asked him to go to the courtyard gate to guard, for fear that the old lady would come to catch him, so he didn't hear anything.

And Huiyuan understands etiquette, don't listen to incivility, she doesn't want to approach, and she doesn't need to ask her.

The next morning.

Wake up from the morning. Zhuang Hu's husband Juste went back and forth, saying that the second master's wedding date was set for the Double Ninth Festival in early September. The second old man, Zhuang Lu, was busy with outside affairs and did not come back to the old lady, so he sent him. The old lady said that she knew, let them prepare, and told them to do a small thing, and took the matter of the eldest lord borrowing silver for the imperial court. It is more or less to maintain the face of the Cao family, so that the second master can't do a big deal.

When Cao learned of this, he was overjoyed. I can't wait to throw a banquet to celebrate. But I can't think of the beginning. Coincidentally, I heard Zhuang Ying mention that Mr. Xueli was on leave, they didn't have to go to school, and wanted to ask everyone out to enjoy the autumn. Cao Shi thought about why not use this as an excuse to hold a banquet and celebrate it.

It's not good to think about it again, because on weekdays, the old lady thinks that she worships gold and silver, and she is so high-profile for fear of provoking them to gossip. So, put the reason on her daughter Zhuang Xuan's head.

It's afternoon.

After Cao finished his work, he asked Guiyuan to call Zhuang Xuan, and said to her when they met: "I see that you don't know where to put your mind for a day or two." A whole family of sisters love to go to the mirror to thank you, so you won't win people over to the old lady to see. When you get out of the cabinet, see what the old lady will do to support you with a façade. ”

Zhuang Xuan disagreed, and said: "Don't want gold or silver, you can also live." Look at how many people out there are not enough days and nights, and they can still live to ninety-nine. It can be seen that the façade is not very important. ”

Cao Shi grabbed a head ruler and gently knocked Zhuang Qi, and said, "Do you have the appearance of a young lady when you speak?" ”

Zhuang Qi said arrogantly: "The eldest sister is the eldest lady, and I am the second miss." ”

Cao's successive "you" were so angry that they couldn't answer. Zhuang Qi was very happy at this time, and then turned a smile to comfort Cao's family, and said, "Madam, why bother here." Call me, what's the matter? ”

Cao Shi looked at her stunned, "Yo" exclaimed: "Have you learned to guess what is on my mind?" You're a good girl! He pulled Zhuang Qian to sit down, and said happily: "You didn't hear about it last night?" Xifu quietly honored the old lady and left, leaving a room of people, are you and the three girls here? ”

Zhuang Xuan didn't know that Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Jue went to Shouzhongju for dinner last night. Therefore, he wondered: "Who said that?" How do I know? ”

Cao Shi laughed: "If you don't say that people are clever." Sigh once, and then say: "So, I have thought about it for you, and you will be the east." Invite the old ladies and all of them to our house. Last time, I went to Xifu Loutaiyue, didn't I eat sea crabs? This time you're back to one. Let's not be so stingy and invite more people. ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Can anyone outside be invited?" ”

Cao said: "Naturally, if you have a head and a face, please us." Let's just say that He Chongyang will add longevity to the old lady. ”

When Zhuang Xuan heard Chongyang, he suddenly realized that it was his mother Cao who wanted to show off her martial arts and do happy events to relieve herself.

Zhuang Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile at the corner of his eyes: "Yo, Mrs., this is ...... But it's not Chongyang yet! ”

It's sarcastic. Where could the Cao family endure it, and slapped Zhuang Xuan's body and said, "Dead girl!" I'm thinking about it for you, but you don't feel at ease. ”

Zhuang Xiu smiled secretly in his heart, and his mouth was still unforgiving: "I'm afraid that my wife wants to do this!" Why bother to pull me in. I do this, but I don't have any money. ”

Cao said: "Dead girl, which item of money you are making now is not given by me?" None of the ones you wear are mine? I've thought about it for you, I'll invite you tomorrow, you go and tell your second brother and third brother first, and let them go with you to ask the old lady to ask for an invitation, it's all right, just send someone to the mansion to say it. Please also ask for those outside and Hongzao and Tongfu. ”

Zhuang Qi said strangely: "Su Yuan, please don't please?" ”

Cao suddenly remembered and said, "He? If you want to ask them to ask, we don't mind. ”

Zhuang Xuan said coldly: "If you want to invite someone, you should give people a bright post." Asking people to send a message to invite a banquet, which is separated by several floors, is not a reason. ”

Cao Shi said "yo" again and again, and said: "Who called you a girl, not a gentleman." If you give people a post twice in three days, I'm glad to do it! You want to place a post, how to do it? Something that knows no shame! ”

Zhuang Xuan sneered: "Mrs. doesn't have a conscience. You ate two large plates of sea crabs that day! ”

After hearing this, Cao pointed his finger and poked it on Zhuang Xuan's forehead.

The banquet in Beifu was decided, and the mother and daughter planned like this. According to his mother's wishes, Zhuang Ju first went to Xifu to tell Zhuang Pu Zhuang Jue brothers that the first was to Qingzhuang Jue to take leave, the second was to celebrate Chongyang, and the third was to return to the crab table ceremony in Suyuan last time.

Zhuang Jue felt that it was very appropriate and agreed.

Zhuang Pu didn't have much thought. In fact, when Zhuang Jue came back that night, he asked Zhuang Pu what he had said to Ayu, and he actually made Ayu cry. Zhuang Pu said that Mr. Guan had an accident, but refused to say what the accident was. Therefore, he helped Zhuang Pu answer Zhuang Ju's words and said that the second brother knew. When I went to invite the old lady, Zhuang Pu didn't go, only Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Yu accompanied, and the three of them went to Shouzhongju.

I invited the old lady, and I went to Jinghuaxie to sit for a while, and I also invited. The rest of the prefectures sent a girl to invite, and there was nothing else to say.

Everything was in order, Zhuang Yu asked Zhuang Yu to post to Su Yuan.

Zhuang Yu was big-hearted, and he didn't understand what he meant, so he only said to Zhuang Xuan: "The second sister didn't post to ask Master Tong, please don't ask for it." I'll just say it, why bother. ”

Zhuang Xuan ignored it and insisted that Zhuang Yu give Su Yuan a post. The young master Tong mentioned by Zhuang Ying is the person who Zhuang Yu married.

However, here, Zhuang Xuan's eyes are clear about Su Yuan.

Of course, this banquet is also the first time she has seen Young Master Tong in many years. Thinking about that year, the first time the two met was unpleasant, and I don't know how to meet this time.

Zhuang Xiu thought, I really shouldn't invite Young Master Tong, why bother myself. As everyone knows, how can the people of Jinghua Xie Li be willing to embarrass themselves and go to Beifu to take a walk? I don't know what will happen to Beifu tomorrow!

Bojing Lao Ni once said: Some people make things for no reason, and some things do nothing to make things. I'm afraid that I can't avoid this kind of thing, but I can't avoid it.

Yu Qi thought: I wish you to be cautious in your words and deeds tomorrow.
