The Duan family invited people to be guests, but it was actually for the sister-in-law Liu Gu. The latter rarely comes back to save a kiss, and it is good to take this opportunity to meet his mother's family. A big family can't keep when they need help from their relatives, so Duan's sent a post under the instructions of his mother-in-law.

Of course, not all the people of the Gu clan are qualified to see Mrs. Sangu and Mrs. Shangshu, only the wife of the five-room family who settled in Guzhuang brought one or two children to visit the family, and the only one who can be regarded as an elder is the old lady of the sixth room.

Originally, there were still a few old ladies alive in the older generation of the Gu family, but except for the old lady Yu in the long room and the old lady Lu in the sixth room, they were not concubines, and the Liu Gu family naturally did not take it to heart, and only asked people to prepare a few gifts and send them to each room, making a model of treating their mother's relatives with courtesy

and that's it. Originally, she didn't even care about Mrs. Lu, she just thought that the other party had a fate, and her mother spoke again, so she posted a post, and when someone came to the door, she said hello according to the routine, said some scenes, accepted the courtesy of the juniors, and then let her son follow the table

The brothers and sisters greeted each other, showed off a few words about their son's cleverness, and then picked up the teacup and ignored others. Even when the wives in the other room talked about the progress of their children's studies, she looked careless, or turned her head to laugh and chat with her mother. So

Even the faces of the fourth wife, the fifth wife and others were a little unsightly, and Mrs. Lu sat on the left side of the old lady, even more slightly mocking. Old Madam Yu noticed it, frowned slightly, and glanced at her daughter-in-law.

The second wife, the Duan family, is a delicate person on all sides, and the Liu Gu family can snub the female dependents in the clan, she has lived in Gu Zhuang for a long time, so naturally she can't watch her sister-in-law be rude, not to mention that there are hints from her mother-in-law, so she immediately found an excuse to welcome Mrs. Lu and several concubines to the Dongnuan Pavilion opposite

On the one hand, he asked someone to prepare the card table, and on the other hand, he asked the girls to send hot tea and pastries, and let the husband's concubines play a few games with the two concubines who love to play cards. Other people who didn't like this kind of game, so she pulled to the side and sat on the kang, and affectionately pulled up the family routine, talking about food and drink

Gossip about giving birth and teaching children. Everyone was a little angry, and they didn't care about her daily harmony, and there were also people who were already jealous of the Liu family's wealth and nobility in their hearts

Resigned.

Wen Yi and a group of cousins and sisters were arranged in the blue yarn cupboard of Xinuan Pavilion to talk to the Liu brothers. said that he was accompanying them, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the host and guest was Liu Dongning, the wife of the third aunt, Liu Gu's concubine, and Liu Dongxing was just a neglected background.

Liu Dongning has just turned sixteen years old, and Wenhui was a child, with a small mother, quite delicate facial features, plus a long and jade body, a gentle and elegant temperament, good literary style, and polite when talking to people, always with a smile on his lips, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Many of the young ladies in the Gu family's few rooms have already passed

At the age of cardamom, he was made to tremble, and intentionally or unintentionally became elegant in front of him, but found that he liked to talk to Wen Hui the most, and there were also those who talked and laughed, and he was a little discouraged, looking at Wen Hui's gaze with a little displeasure.

Wen Hui only didn't know, still talking to Liu Dongning by herself, I heard that he saw a lot of good scenery on the way here, and made a few poems, so he called him out to everyone to hear, and then appreciated word by word, commenting on which word was used well, which allusion was inappropriate, where

The sentence was sincere, and Liu Dongning's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he chatted with her with great interest. The ladies were disappointed again, and some secretly regretted that they didn't listen carefully to Mr. Luo's lectures when they were studying, otherwise they could also show their poetry talents at this time, which made Liu Dongning look at her with admiration.

After a while, the mother of two young ladies was leaving, and ordered her daughter to follow, although they were reluctant, but they also reported the reserved way of women taught by their mother and Mr. Boudoir, and they were unwilling, and they turned back step by step, and the rest of the people became more and more enthusiastic to Liu Dongning's side.

However, a few young masters Gu frowned when they saw it, and it was not good to leave the sisters to go first, so they had to sit on the side and stare tightly.

Wen Yi sat ten feet away from them, holding a cup of tea, squinting her eyes, with a slight hint of mockery in her eyes.

If Liu Dongning didn't have a father who was a scholar and an aunt who was a princess, could he really attract so many girls with just a few looks and talents? What's so great about being able to compose poetry? The sixteen-year-old boy was still a child, and he had never heard of him entering

Guozijian is still studying in places like Fuxue and County Studies, and if you talk about it carefully, I'm afraid that it is not as good as the second cousin Wenliang in the second room! The second cousin won the township test last year, although he will fail the test, after all, he still has a name for lifting people! But when the second cousin saluted the third aunt,

The latter is still faint, could it be that in her eyes, as long as she is born in a powerful family, she can guarantee a bright future? !

Wen Yi turned his eyes and looked at Liu Dongxing, who was sitting diagonally opposite: although he was just a child and had no name, he had already made up his mind to follow the path of a military attaché, and he went to learn martial arts as a doctor, as long as he was given a chance, he would have a future! Alas

These sisters in the clan were all blinded by the wealth of the Liu family!

Liu Dongxing's expression moved, his eyes turned around, Wen Yique had already looked away, and took a sip of tea carelessly, but he was secretly regretting it in his heart, how could he fool him into his disappointment? ! Such a person, even if he is talented and ambitious, is sneaky

, you are not a decent gentleman!

She put the teacup heavily on the plum blossom table next to her, startling Duan Kerou who was sitting next to her, turned her head and asked carefully, "Sister Jiu, what's wrong with you?" Wen Yi slowed down, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just ...... I felt a little stuffy in the room...... "Yes."

Hearing this, she smiled softly: "Probably because of the brazier burning in the house?" The old lady is old, she can't stand the cold, and there are a lot of people, so the ninth sister will be bored, right? I'm fine. After that, he sat down two inches away and turned his head cautiously to look at Wen Hui and Dongning discussing poetry, in his eyes

With a slight envy, a pair of eyes turned to Dongning, and he never moved away.

Wen Yi frowned slightly, and sighed secretly in her heart. Maybe it was because Kerou was still young at this time and didn't have much experience, so she was attracted by this flashy man. She was slightly disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

Liu Dongxing kept staring at her, seeing that she always refused to turn her head to look at herself, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, thinking that when he saw the ceremony, others told her that his name was Liu Dongxing, and there was no difference in her face, like a stranger she had never seen before, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy,

I thought to myself, is she annoyed?!

Wufu beside the old lady came over with a smile, added a few boxes of fresh pastries to the young master and young lady, and told the little girls to serve well, and quietly pulled La Wenjuan's sleeve before leaving. Wen Juan understood, so she followed her in addition to the warm pavilion, and it took half a cup of tea to turn around.

His face was a little unnatural, he didn't sit back in his original seat, with a little timidity, he walked into Liu Dongxing a few steps, and after a pause, he suddenly turned to Wen Yi with a red face. At this time, Wufu cleared his throat outside the cupboard, Wen Juan's eyes turned red, and she slowly stopped

, slowly walked to the chair three feet away from Liu Dongxing and sat down, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Wufu stomped his feet outside, Liu Dongxing pretended not to know, lowered his head to drink tea, swept the corner of his eyes to her, and glanced at Wen Juan again, and the light in his eyes flashed.

Wen Yi looked at Wen Juan and frowned. Kerou was a little restless, and seemed to want to get to that table. Wen Yi looked depressed, and said: "Since you want to go over, the past is, who is stopping you?!" Kerou was taken aback, almost jumped up, and looked carefully

Her face. Wen Yi had no choice but to slow down her tone: "You go over, I'll sit alone and be quiet." Kerou smiled timidly, and then looked at the excitement of the people at the table, but finally couldn't hold back his heart and ran in the direction of the talented and beautiful woman.

After entering the door, there is a large round table and a bogu shelf on the left, and there is a handrest chair next to the wall, and on the right hand side is a warm kang and two rows of four circle chairs.

Now Wen Hui Dongning and others occupy the round table and chairs on the left, Wen Yi sits on the third chair under the east side of the warm kang on the right, Dongxing sits on the first chair under the west side, Wen Juan sits on the fourth one, Kerou leaves, and only Wen Yi, Wen Juan and Dongxing are left in this half of the elegant room

The three of them, Wen Juan was uncomfortable, and quietly moved to the side again.

Kerou joined the crowd on the left, and she didn't attract much attention, but because she timidly corrected an allusion that Wen Hui said wrong, she won Liu Dongning's side eye, and some people looked at her unpleasantly. The seventh lady in the fourth room, Wen Jing, smiled and turned back to Wen Juan: "Tenth sister, you."

Why don't you come and sit? Come on! What Cousin Liu said is really interesting! ”

Wen Juan showed surprise almost immediately, her eyes quickly glanced outside, and when she saw that Wufu was not standing outside, she ran over with a smile. Wen Jing pulled her over and pressed on the chair next to her, Kerou was squeezed aside, and immediately another young lady came up to invite her

Teach the way of poetry in Dongning. Kerou bit her lip, stood there stiffly, and pretended to smile unintentionally: "Why did the tenth sister come over?" Leaving the ninth sister and the eldest son of the Liu family over there, will it be rude? ”

Wen Xian was originally sitting on the side gossiping with her second cousin, but when she heard this, she turned her head. looked at the other side, then walked up to his sister and whispered: "Ninth sister is not from our own family, you put two guests sitting there, it's too rude!" ”

Wen Juan pursed her lips: "I didn't sit there originally, if you want to say rudeness, it won't fall on my head!" After that, Chong Kerou glared: "It's just you!" He tugged on Wen Xian's sleeve again: "Good sister, don't tell me to go back, it's hurting my sister!" ”

Everyone was quiet, and they all glanced at the opposite side, and saw that Liu Dongxing was moving in the direction of Wen Yi, and with a somewhat flattering look, he poured her a cup of tea, Wen Yi didn't have any expression, only said thank you, and turned her head.

The crowd hurriedly turned around and laughed again. The girls felt contempt for Liuliu Dongxing in their hearts, and remembered that their family had mentioned his true identity, although they were sympathetic to Wen Yi, they had no intention of breaking the siege in the past. Wen Xian couldn't help but think of herself

is a serious master, so he wanted to go over to accompany him, but he was pulled by Wen Hui and said with a smile: "What did the fifth sister do in the past?" Although the ninth sister is not the daughter of the long house, our Gu family's nine rooms are in the same vein, and they are in the same vein, and they are connected with the same qi, you treat her as a guest, and let the old lady know, a big ear and claw

And the Son came down! Don't go, the fifth sister has also studied poetry with Mr. Xueli on weekdays, help me take a look at this sentence, is the rhyme not used well? ”

Wen Xian couldn't resist her, so she had to stretch her head slightly to look over, and Liu Dongning smiled on the other side: "What do you think of my brother?!" He's just not clever enough, but he's an honest man, and he's the most serious! After that, he raised his voice and shouted, "Brother, can you have a snack."

Still eating?! If it's not enough, ask the girls to get it for you! ”

Liu Dongxing was thinking about how to talk to Wen Yi, when he heard the excitement, he laughed dryly, and picked up a snack plate casually: "And what!" A lot! The girls snickered, and even a few young masters of the Gu family frowned slightly.

"How is this enough?" Liu Dongning called the girl with a smile, "Take more up!" Crispy pork ribs, chanterelle rolls, and creamy fried noodles! My brother loves these! "The girls are out there.

Wen Hui glanced at Dongning: "You're welcome!" Dongning's eyes softened, and he looked back at her with a crooked smile: "Why are you polite?" This is my grandmother's house! Wen Hui whispered to him, but covered her mouth and smiled and shook a piece of poetry: "This allusion is useful."

Not good! Think again! ”

The two little girls came in with two large plates of fried dim sum, and put them all on the small table in front of Liu Dongning. Wen Yi looked sideways, Ruyi flashed outside, and immediately turned in, and scolded the little girls in a low voice: "Do you understand the rules?!" Why is Miss Nine empty?! ”

The little girls didn't know what to do, so they thought about it and said, "I have a son, you all go!" Then he went out for a walk, and when he came back, he took a red box in his hand, opened it, and saw that it was divided into four small compartments, which contained amber walnuts and fried pumpkin seeds

, pine scoop goose oil rolls and half-inch square jujube paste yam cake. Ruyi put the box on the small table in front of Wen Yi, and said with a smile: "This was originally a snack for entertaining old ladies and wives, it is clean, Miss Nine and try it." Wen Yi nodded with a smile, and lowered her voice again: "Up."

I have found the medicine you asked me to find, see when you are free, or send a letter to tell your family, come and get it as soon as possible, I am afraid that after a long time, the effect of the medicine will be reduced. ”

Ru Lai was overjoyed, and was busy with gratitude: "Miss Xie Jiu, the slave maid will send a letter to the family and let the younger brothers and sisters go over to pick it up." Wen Yi nodded: "Just tell the doorkeeper that you are looking for Mama Zhao." Mama knows it. If your mother uses it, you won't see it

Okay, it's better to find a doctor to see if it's serious. Ruyi's expression darkened, nodded yes, and retreated.

Wen Yi twisted a walnut and glanced at Liu Dongxing. Liu Dongxing kept staring at her, and smiled when she saw this, she immediately took her eyes back and bit the walnut hard.

Liu Dongxing glanced at the other side, quietly, moved to the chair opposite, only a chair and a small distance from Wen Yi, cleared his throat, and was about to speak. Wen Yi stood up, moved to the fourth circle chair, and picked up the tea bowl to drink tea, glancing out of the corner of her eyes

He glanced at him, snorted softly, and turned his head away.

Liu Dongxing secretly wiped his sweat, knowing that Wen Yi was really annoyed this time......

There were bursts of laughter from the young boys and girls in the opposite circle, but this side of the room was quiet, and no one spoke.
