I understood almost immediately, he recognized her.

Although I just listened to Yang Jinyao say a few words about the encounter between them, I didn't know what that moment meant to the two of them, just looking at his expression now, I knew that Wu Yanqiu had recognized the young lady in front of him, who was the one who was wearing men's clothes and was weird before.

Soon, he calmed down.

After all, Huan Hai has been up and down for so many years, and he has seen too many big scenes, so he is not too out of shape, but I can also see that he frowned slightly.

Obviously, not everyone can accept this kind of thing calmly by men dressing up as women to swagger through the market.

At this time, Yang Jinyao had already walked straight in front of him.

"Lord Yang, we're meeting again."

Her voice was crisp, although it was not very loud, but it was enough to make Wu Yanqiu have no way to hide, no way to avoid it.

Wu Yanqiu's eyebrows also seemed to have a faint wrinkle, and at this time he slowly stood up and faced her. But before he could speak, a tall man next to him walked over, walked to Yang Jinyao's side, and gently pulled her sleeve: "Jin Yao!" ”

Wu Yanqiu spoke at this time, with a shallow smile on his face: "Yunyi Gongzi, this is-"

That man was the eldest son of Mrs. Yuerong, now Yang Yunyi, the first son of the Yang Mansion, and he said respectfully: "Lord Wu, don't be surprised, this is Jin Yao, the sister-in-law." Jin Yao, why did you run out of a mess? ”

"I heard that Lord Wu is here, I'm here to see the world!"

Yang Jinyao was not shy, and even with a little deliberate difficulty, she raised her head and looked at Wu Yanqiu, who was more than a little taller than herself: "Why did Lord Wu come so late, the banquet is about to start!" Your shelves are huge! ”

"Jin Yao!"

Yang Yunyi's face changed, and he pulled her sleeve hard.

At this time, if Wu Yanqiu didn't understand what was going on, it would be in vain for him to experience so many years of ups and downs, in the face of Yang Jinyao's aggressiveness, his smile became more and more gentle and quiet, like a sea of tolerance, and said with a smile: "Miss Jin Yao is not strange." It's just that something happened suddenly in the household department this morning, and the official went to deal with it, so it was too late to go to the banquet, and I hope the young lady won't blame it. ”

"How dare I blame you, you are a big official!"

"Miss teased."

"But what is Lord Wu busy with every day?"

"The food of the king bears the worries of the king."

"That must be hard, right?"

"Where the duty lies, I dare not say bitterness."

"......" Yang Jinyao pouted, obviously very dissatisfied with the other party's official tone, she looked at Wu Yanqiu with a little resentment, and Wu Yanqiu looked at her like that, and became more and more calm, not as if she was still a little at a loss when she first saw her. Yang Jinyao seemed to be angered by his attitude, she bit her lower lip, and a displeased look appeared on her face: "I heard Lord Wu say it, but it looks like a sweetheart!" ”

Wu Yanqiu laughed twice.

Laughing, he lowered his head and reached out to straighten his sleeve.

Looking at Yang Jinyao's puffed appearance, he was not angry, as if he was looking at an ignorant little girl, only tolerant and loving, but he couldn't arouse any real affection.

After all, Yang Jinyao and him are not at the same level at all.

But in this world, there are not so many equals.

Yang Jinyao may not fully understand, but that feeling is clear, although the man in front of him is facing her, he is not going all out at all, that kind of absent-mindedness, the feeling of not being here, I understand very well, it makes people feel that every punch they throw is on the cotton, even if they try their best, they can't get a response from the other party, it will make people crazy.

Sure enough, she looked at Wu Yanqiu, and slowly the corners of her eyes turned red, but her lower lip, which was bitten hard by her upper teeth, gradually turned white.

Don't let her stare like this, Wu Yanqiu seemed to feel something, and looked at her with a slight frown.

Just when the two of them looked at each other silently like this, Yang Yunyi became more and more worried, especially when there were already many guests in the hall who came to look here, although it was natural for the host to come to entertain distinguished guests, but Yang Jinyao, a young lady who had not yet left the cabinet, would inevitably find someone to gossip about Wu Yanqiu in broad daylight, Yang Yunyi subconsciously pulled her sleeve again, as if she wanted to make her sober up, and said softly: "Jin Yao!" Jin Yao! ”

Yang Jinyao didn't care about her brother's anxiety at all, she still looked at Wu Yanqiu, and after holding it for a long time, she said solemnly: "Lord Wu has to deal with so many things every day, the little woman dares to ask Lord Wu, have you ever made any mistakes, or have you made any wrong decisions?" ”

Wu Yanqiu froze slightly.

I also immediately understood the meaning of Yang Jinyao's words.

However, without waiting for Wu Yanqiu to answer, Yang Yunyi was already in a hurry, and he finally pulled Yang Jinyao's sleeve despite his strength, pulled her behind him, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing again!?" ”

"I didn't—"

"Jin Yao, don't mess around, let me go down!"

After speaking, Yang Yunyi nodded and smiled apologetically at Wu Yanqiu, and then dragged Yang Jinyao's arm and ripped her away, Yang Jinyao refused to be convinced, but he couldn't break free of his brother's iron pincer-like arm, and after a while, he was pulled and stumbled and disappeared in front of the hall.

The beaded curtain flickered, but the shadow had disappeared behind the bits of pearl light.

|

This is just a small episode in the hall today.

Some of the surrounding guests also noticed this, but they didn't hear what they were talking about, and not many people would know the reason for this, only Lady Yuerong looked at this side from a distance, her brows furrowed, and a worried look on her face.

I was still sitting in my hidden position, looking through the hollow carving, watching Wu Yanqiu stand in place for a long time, and seemed to be unresponsive.

Obviously, this episode was unexpected by him.

I saw that he was clearly sober, but the look in his eyes was somewhat dazed, looking straight ahead, Yang Jinyao had been pulled back to the back hall by Yang Yunyi, and there were still some people whispering around him, and he didn't seem to care much, and after a while, he slowly sat down on the edge of the table.

After a few more moments, I heard him muttering to himself—

"Actually, it's such a girl."

I couldn't help but look at him more intently, slightly straight.

To say that Yang Jinyao is indeed different from many official ladies, she is innocent, perverse, and a little manly and reckless, may not meet most people's expectations of famous ladies, but as far as I am concerned, I still like such a sister very much.

I don't know what Wu Yanqiu, as a man, thinks of "such a girl".

However, maybe it doesn't matter what your opinion is, after all, the marriage has been pushed down by himself, and even now, I don't see too much regret and regret on his face.

It's just that after thinking for a while, he raised his head again and glanced at the place where Yang Jinyao had disappeared, as if he sighed lightly.

I looked at Wu Yanqiu quietly, and he didn't speak again.

Little by little, time passed.

I sat in this hidden space, the sunlight shines in from the hollow carvings, I can see a lot of dust flying in the light, and I can feel the passage of time, some of the remaining guests have arrived at Yang's Mansion one after another, and it is becoming more and more lively, the sound of greeting and laughing when everyone meets, almost can't even hear the music, and a few waiters and Shangshu are present, and I know that the guests they invited have almost arrived.

These guests are all strangers to me, but fortunately, they don't have much at stake with me, and the most important ones may be that the Yang Mansion didn't really plan to invite them at all, or maybe they themselves had scruples and didn't plan to be there.

At least for now, the birthday feast was peaceful.

As soon as the hour came, Yang Wanyun took his wife and concubines, as well as his children, out to entertain all the guests.

Of course, the seats of these guests have been carefully arranged, after all, there are many schools in the DPRK and China, who can get along with whom, who can't get along with whom, the arrangement of the seats is quite exquisite, I watched those guests are quite satisfied with the people around them chatting, one by one with a smile on their faces, obviously, Mrs. Hanyu arranged it very properly this time.

Only Wu Yanqiu, who is the head of the household, did not sit at the main table, but sat at the side table here, Yang Yunyi came to invite him several times, he smiled and waved his hand to refuse, only saying that he could talk to the people at this table, and he refused to go, several times, Mrs. Hanyu could only give up.

Yang Jinyao was sitting there, her eyes were red, and she glared at this side from time to time.

But by this time, my attention was completely off them.

Seeing that the sun had walked to the middle of the sky, it was the time to open the table, I couldn't help but look out of the gate through the hollow carvings on the screen, Cai Wei seemed to feel my eagerness, and said softly: "Madam, are you waiting for that - Miss Yang?" ”

I pursed my lips and didn't speak.

It stands to reason that Yang Jinqiao should have arrived, no matter how big the knot is, today is her father's sixtieth birthday after all, and Yang Wanyun left me here, which is also an active sign, why hasn't she shown up yet?

Or is she not going to show up?

Yang Wanyun on the main seat had a calm face, not as eager as me, but I could also see that his eyes looked out of the door several times, but the empty door made his eyes even darker.

All the guests are seated and there is no room for further delay.

Mrs. Hanyu said softly in Yang Wanyun's ear with a heavy face, he was silent for a while, and finally nodded, then held the edge of the table with both hands, and slowly stood up.

"Everyone."

His voice was very special, as I had heard it for the first time on the official road, it seemed young and full of wisdom, and as soon as he came out, it drowned out the murmurs of hundreds of people in the hall, and everyone looked up at him in high spirits.

Yang Wanyun said with a smile: "Today, it is the 60th birthday of the old man, and I will not give up on you, and my Yang Mansion is shining." ”

Everyone immediately laughed: "Where, where! ”

"Lord Yang is polite!"

"We can wait to celebrate Lord Yang's birthday, it is our blessing!"

"Yes, yes!"

……

For a while, the flattery of blessings came and went, and the hall became lively again, Yang Wanyun smiled and nodded around, and then said: "Although today is called the birthday of the old man, in fact, it is a gathering with fate, the old man has a few thin wines and a few plates of thin dishes, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

As soon as the words fell, he raised the wine glass in his hand.

The guests present also raised their glasses with a smile, and everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to Lord Yang on his 60th birthday, as blessed as the East China Sea, longevity—"

When the word Nanshan was barely spoken, suddenly, I heard a sound of footsteps outside.

The footsteps were very chaotic, it seemed that many people had walked into the Yang Mansion at this time, and the master of ceremonies outside didn't seem to have time to chant in a hurry, but the guests in the hall were very tacit, and for a while, the wine glasses in everyone's hands stopped in the air.

Hundreds of people turned their heads in unison, and all eyes were on the gate.

Not only these guests, Yang Wanyun also froze there at the moment, although he was still standing motionless, but the eagerness in his eyes was undisguised, he looked forward to the door, the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly because of excitement, and the wine spilled onto the back of his hand.

The rest of the Yang family also looked at the gate nervously and excitedly.

At this moment, my heart was also happy, and I subconsciously stood up from the table and looked out eagerly, and Cai Wei beside me also stepped forward excitedly, leaned on my side and said in a low voice: "Madam, is that Miss Yang here!?" ”

Before I could speak, I heard the master of ceremonies at the door chanting loudly: "A guest has arrived!" ”

……

Cai Wei became more and more excited: "Are you here?" Is Miss Yang here? ”

I frowned.

Arrived?!

Hearing these three words, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

If it's Yang Jinqiao - no matter what she says, she can be regarded as the daughter of the Yang family, and she shouldn't be said to be a "guest"!

Could it be that it wasn't Yang Jinqiao who came, but other guests?

However, what guest, such a big style, did not arrive until the birthday banquet had already begun, and even the host and guests had already begun to toast?

I frowned slightly, almost holding my breath and looking out.

I saw a group of people at the gate in front of the main hall.

It was obviously a large group of guards, all tall and strong, majestic, and quite sinister. I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, no matter who this guest was, after all, he was here to celebrate Yang Wanyun's birthday, and he brought such a large group of guards with evil spirits, and he was always disrespectful to the host.

Which guest is here?
