Thinking of the key, my heart was also vigilant, and I only glanced at him, and he nodded slightly, and I turned my face away.

As soon as I turned around, Yan Qingchen's wheelchair had already arrived at my side.

He looked up at me with a smile, I don't know if it was because of the faint red mark on the center of his eyebrows, or because his handsome face showed a bit of a sense of moisturization in the sunlight, and the smile was so handsome and gentle that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

But it makes me feel cold at my fingertips.

He looked at me with a smile: "Is my sister happy?" ”

“……”

I didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

These "old fellows" want to see me, naturally because they have our business, and they must be guarding against his eyes and ears, but now he has invited all these people to me, and put everything on the table.

What does he mean to tell me that even if I go back to Chengdu, I won't be able to do whatever I want?

However, looking at those clear and shining eyes, that trace of thought seemed so weak. I never saw through him.

"I can't say if I'm happy." I finally said lightly: "It's you who bothered." ”

He looked at me with a smile that deepened in his eyes.

At this time, Li Guo walked up, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Family master, the banquet is ready, and it is time to invite the eldest lady and a few distinguished guests to the table." ”

Yan Qingchen nodded, stretched out his hand and stroked on the wheelchair, and the wheelchair walked forward.

There are three main seats in front of the lobby, and he, as the head of the Yan family, naturally sits in the middle, Pei Yuanxiu and I looked at each other, and walked over without saying anything, and our husband and wife sat on the left with Li'er, and Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi sat on the right.

As soon as he sat down, Yan Qingchen glanced left and right, the corners of his eyes were faint, and he raised his hand with a wave.

Immediately, a group of flowery maids entered the lobby with wine and food, and began to add wine to each guest, and at the same time, behind the beaded curtains on both sides of the lobby, bursts of music sounded. The music of Shu also retains a lot of antique rhythms, like melodious, and the music heard on weekdays is a little different, but it also has a unique flavor.

I was still thinking that the atmosphere was so peaceful, even a little too good, but it made me a little uneasy, so I saw two maids holding a silver plate and putting it in front of Pei Yuanxiu.

Inside, there was a large piece of scorched barbecue, which seemed to have just been taken off the fire, and in some places there were still bubbling oil stars, and under the barbecue, there were large pieces of medicinal herbs, and the heat of the meat was scorching, and the strong smell of medicine spread.

Several people around subconsciously frowned.

Pei Yuanxiu also frowned slightly, looked at me, and then turned his head to look at Yan Qingchen, who was sitting in front of the main seat.

I said, "Why is this dish different?" ”

Yan Qingchen looked at Pei Yuanxiu with a smile: "Pei Gongzi, isn't this kind of wine and food the most suitable for you?" ”

Pei Yuanxiu smiled faintly: "Yan Gongzi is not very detailed. ”

"Remember what I said?" Yan Qingchen didn't look at him, only a cold smile on his face.

Let me see, why are you ......

He wanted Pei Yuanxiu to make a fool of himself in public.

The plate of medicinal barbecue in front of him, of course, is not only as simple as wine and food, the royal family entered the customs from the north, and in the eyes of the Central Plains people, they are barbarians, barbarians who drink blood, and the wine and food sent to this banquet today are all very exquisite, but this plate of barbecue is so vulgar, it is naturally a satire of Pei Yuanxiu's origin.

But, that's not all.

There is no reason for the barbecue to be a medicinal diet, he spread a layer of medicinal diet underneath, and he is still sarcastically mocking Pei Yuanxiu for wooing the medicine elder and relying on his power.

But I don't see what the point of him doing this is.

It's just irony, which one of you here hasn't experienced strong winds and waves to get to the top, what is such a little face-to-face ridicule? It's not like he did it.

I was secretly thinking about it, when I heard Yan Qingchen smile and said: "Today's banquet is for my sister to catch the wind and wash the dust, and it is also for a few distinguished guests. ”

“……！”

This sentence is like a bolt from the blue.

Above the lobby, everyone suddenly changed, Rao is Pei Yuanxiu and Liu Qinghan and a few of them were calm, and their faces also changed.

However, none of them could speak.

Yan Qingchen smiled faintly, and turned his head to look at me: "My sister has been away from home for decades, and after hardships, she finally has to return to her hometown. ”

After speaking, he leaned over and picked up the jade cup on the table and held it high above his head.

No one spoke in the lobby for a while, and even breathing seemed to be held, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

I didn't speak, I just turned my head to look at his right hand, Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi, the two of them also calmed down at this time, they didn't answer, and they didn't raise their glasses, but Wen Fengxi also turned his head to look at us.

At this moment, a chuckle rang out in the lobby, which was so silent that even the wind could hear it.

It was Pei Yuanxiu beside me, he smiled faintly, and also picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it towards Yan Qingchen.

"Thank you Yan Gongzi for your hospitality."

"Don't dare to be."

"The mountain wife has experienced hardships since she was a child, and she has indeed suffered a lot, and it is precisely because of this that she is even more reluctant to let her suffer a little more grievance."

The corners of Yan Qingchen's eyes twitched slightly.

Pei Yuanxiu continued to smile and said: "This time I accompanied my mountain wife back to Sichuan, just to relieve her homesickness. Relieved of her suffering, we will not stay for a day. ”

Yan Qingchen smiled coldly: "My sister stays in Xichuan, and there is no suffering that cannot be solved." ”

Pei Yuanxiu smiled and said: "Her hometown is in Xichuan, but her current home is in Jiangnan." ”

“……”

"She's going home."

The two of them were all jade-faced and handsome, with such a faint smile, it seemed to be a harmony, but all of them could clearly feel the-for-tat under the smile, as if they had stirred up sparks in the air.

I have been silent, and at this time, I gently reached over and helped Pei Yuanxiu's shoulder: "Yuanxiu......"

He looked back at me.

"I—"

I was about to say something, but at this moment, a small guy suddenly came in a hurry outside, and as soon as he came over, he knelt down in front of Yan Qingchen and said, "The master of the family." ”

Yan Qingchen glanced at him lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"The old lady is back."

My back was cold.

If the confrontation between Pei Yuanxiu and Yan Qingchen just now made the people in the lobby a little uneasy, then at this moment, they couldn't sit still at all, they stood up one after another, looked at each other, and their originally calm faces showed a little surprise and panic. And Yan Qingchen, he is the most calm in this, but his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his voice was still calm and calm: "The old lady didn't go to worship the Buddha, how could she come back suddenly?" ”

"This, I don't know."

Yan Qingchen waved his hand coldly: "Stand down." ”

Then he looked up at me, and I looked at him.

Time seemed to go back to many years ago, there were some distant but familiar feelings in my heart, I turned our heads at the same time as him, and saw the end of the avenue, a group of people came over, and walking in the center, the middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes and slender figure was the person I had been absent for many years, and I didn't even want to see in my dreams.

After a while, they had already walked into the lobby, and this Mrs. Yan was standing in the middle of the lobby.

I haven't seen each other in more than ten years.

But I found that I had never forgotten her, even after all these years, and did not think about her at all.

She is a beauty, this is a fact that I can't argue with no matter what kind of feelings I have for her, compared to my mother's indifference and elegance, she is like a rose with strong colors and fragrant fragrance, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, high nose and red lips, even if she is now over half a hundred years old, she still has exquisite makeup, and her hair is meticulously combed. In the final analysis, after all, she has been the head of the Yan family for so many years, and she should have some style.

It's just that there is some surprise that her hair is mottled silver in the sun.

She's also old.

Although she is still familiar, there are still some deviations from the woman I remember. When I was a child, I thought she was very tall, and the first time I saw her walk in through the door, the light of the entire sky was obscured, leaving only a thick haze on me, and now looking at her, it seems that she is not as tall and fierce as I thought. Although her eyebrows and eyes are still very sharp, there is a sharp aura like a knife.

The gaze at her made my whole body tremble slightly.

As soon as she stood still, the heavy dragon staff in her hand hit the ground, and the whole hall seemed to tremble.

Except for the three main seats, all the people in the other seats bowed down to her: "Meet Madame." ”

She didn't seem to hear or see, a pair of sharp eyes stared straight at me, and at this time, Yan Qingchen's wheelchair had already passed from behind the desk and walked in front of her: "Mother." ”

The old lady glanced at him, and then at the surrounding high friends, and her body was even more angry, staring only at me.

"Not yet!"

As soon as she spoke, my hand on the table clenched.

It was as if there was a haze that spread out of my memories and kept covering me in reality, making me unable to tell where I was for a while.

The only thing that was clear was the domineering eyes, like the memories of childhood, looking at me coldly, piercing into my body like ice needles.

After a while, I slowly stood up.

Pei Yuanxiu kept looking at me, and he didn't seem to know what to say at this time, so he watched me go around the table and walk to the center of the lobby, in front of her, there was no expression on her indifferent face, just standing so calmly.

She looked at me fixedly, her eyes were carved on my face like a knife, and there was really a feeling of pain, which made my face more and more pale, and she was already holding the dragon staff, slowly walking around, as if she was looking, discerning, and seeing through what I had gained and lost in the past ten years.

When she walked behind me, I felt her breath suddenly become heavy.

Before I could react, I heard a gust of wind behind me.

"Ahh

I didn't know what was happening, but I felt a sharp pain in my back, as if my bones were broken, and I let out a terrible scream.

It was she who lifted the dragon staff and struck me the back.

Above the lobby, there was an uproar!

I staggered a step, almost falling head-on, and without waiting for anyone to react, she raised the dragon staff again, and this time Yan Qingchen dragged her sleeve: "Mother! ”

But it was too late, and the wide sleeves didn't tie her movements in the slightest, and the second cane hit me hard in the crook of my leg, and the pain hit me, and I fell to my knees with a thud.
