Shen Siye took Mrs. Shen Si to leave Hui County for a day or two, and since the two of them left, Shen Siye basically never came back. Guan Wen was also a little surprised to meet Shen Siye and his wife at the door of this teahouse, obviously Guan Wen didn't know the news that Shen Siye was coming back.

"Brother Wen."

Shen Siye looked more modest than before, and the impetuousness on his body seemed to have dissipated without a trace, and the whole person looked very elegant, which made Li Xin a little impressed.

"When did the fourth master come back? No one told me about it. Guan Wen hurriedly greeted: "This is going to the teahouse?" Let's do it together. ”

Shen Siye said with a smile: "There are a lot of people over there, it's too noisy, this teahouse has a good view, just me and Neiko, I want to stay here and watch the excitement for a while." ”

Xiao Er invited Guan Wen and Shen Siye and his party to go up to the box on the second floor, and looked out of the window just diagonally opposite the high platform built for the gem club.

Guan Wen smiled and invited Shen Siye to sit, poured him tea himself, and asked with concern, "Is everything going well outside?" You came here this year, and the property books you entrusted to me are just right for you to look at them in person. ”

Fourth Master Shen waved his hand and smiled: "Since I entrusted Brother Wen to help me run it, I naturally trust Brother Wen." I came back this time, firstly, because my eldest brother was promoted, and I always came to congratulate him; The second is also this year's gem fair, I heard that it was very grand, and I also wanted to come and join in the fun. And then there is a period of time since I left, and I miss my hometown, so I have to come back to kowtow to my elders for a New Year, and I have all my filial piety. ”

Guan Wen and Shen Siye sat at the window table and talked, because there were outsiders, Yang'er and Xiaokang also seemed more restrained, and the two teenagers sat behind Guan Wen and listened to Guan Wen and Shen Siye.

Guan Wen introduced Li Ming to Shen Siye, Shen Siye looked Li Ming up and down, nodded and praised: "Look at his bearing, he is extraordinary, it turns out to be a lifting man." Shen Siye smiled and arched his hand to Li Ming: "Speaking of which, according to your fame, I should give you a salute." ”

Li Ming didn't dare to say anything, Guan Wen said with a smile: "If you say something in private today, you can talk about the kind of official face." Guan Wen said to Li Ming: "There is no one around, you can just call Shen Fourth Master Shen Fourth Brother Shen." ”

Li Ming gently called Shen Siye "Fourth Brother Shen".

Fourth Master Shen smiled: "I am also blessed to be called the fourth brother." Saying that Li Ming should be honored with tea instead of wine, the three of them talked and laughed.

And here, An Xuan is naturally sitting with Li Xin, and An Xuan has an ordinary but meticulous maid beside her, who has been waiting on the side.

An Xuan seemed to be in good spirits, but she didn't say anything from beginning to end, even if Li Xin tried to greet her, she just looked at Li Xin timidly like a frightened deer, and then smiled at Li Xin reluctantly under the encouragement of the maid next to her, and after laughing, she lowered her head again, taking care of herself in a daze.

Li Xin and Xing'er glanced at each other, and both of them sighed a little in their hearts.

But after thinking about it, it's better for An Xuan to be like this than for her to go crazy. Even if she was looking at a certain place at this time, she had to turn her head to look at Shen Siye from time to time, as if Shen Siye would be at ease when she was there. Shen Siye has a deep affection for her, and for An Xuan, this can be regarded as a good ending.

An Xuan is afraid that she only knows Shen Siye.

Since this is the case, Li Xin didn't talk to her much, but just chatted with Xing'er without a match.

When the lunch arrived, the teahouse also prepared meals, and Guan Wen and Shen Siye naturally ate together.

After the meal, seeing that the tables and chairs around the high platform were seated one after another, Guan Wenfang called Li Xin to the field. Shen Siye took An Xuan to say goodbye to Guan Wen, and said with a smile: "I won't go, it's too noisy over there, and Neiko likes to be quiet." Brother Wen, you are so lively. ”

Guan Wen understood and arched his hand: "Since the fourth master is back, then when you are done with the things in your hands, remember to come to my house as a guest." I'm waiting at home. ”

Fourth Master Shen nodded.

Guan Wen walked forward, Li Xin and Xing'er were slightly behind, and Xing'er whispered to Li Xin: "Did you see it when you were eating at noon?" That Fourth Master Shen is really good enough to Miss An......"

Li Xin reminded her softly: "That's not Miss An's family, it's Mrs. Shen Si." ”

Xing'er understood, nodded and said, "Yes, Fourth Master Shen is really speechless to Mrs. Shen Si, this is really a blessing for Mrs. Shen Si." ”

Li Xin nodded.

Xing'er said in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that Fourth Master Shen could become what he is now, his reputation in the early years was really stinky, and he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law...... I didn't expect an An Xuan to be able to subdue him. ”

"That's how people are fed." Li Xin smiled: "It's good if they're doing well." ”

Apricot smiled and nodded.

Pushing and pushing finally moved to the table that belonged to Guan Wen, Li Xin and Xing'er sat down, Guan Wen said: "You just sit here, Yang'er and Xiaokang don't run around." Guan Wen looked at Li Xin and said, "I'll take Mingzi to introduce you to the adults." ”

Li Xin stood up and said: "You don't have to be too deliberate, it's not beautiful to be too deliberate, just mix your face first, and make people have a little impression." ”

Guan Wen smiled: "I am measured, you can sit in peace." ”

Guan Wen took Li Ming to meet those officials and old men, Yang'er and Xiaokang looked boredly at the end of the big drum play on the high platform, and the two teenagers got together and muttered.

"Hey! Yang'er! Off! ”

Someone in the distance was calling the names of Yang'er and Xiaokang, and the two of them hurriedly looked behind them, and immediately shouted out in unison: "Brother Qingyan!" ”

The person who came was Xue Qingyan.

He excitedly squeezed over to this side, only to see that Li Xin was also there, and hurriedly greeted Li Xin, and said with a smile: "Aunt Guan also came to see the gem club?" ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "Qingyan is here alone?" ”

"No, my father and mother are here, too, over there."

Xue Qingyan turned his head and pointed in one direction, looked around again, and then asked in a low voice, "Sister Youyou didn't come?" ”

"There are a lot of people today, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I didn't let them go out." Li Xin said with a smile.

Xue Qingyan was a little frustrated, but quickly thought about it, and said, "Aunt Guan thinks that it is indeed not suitable for my sister to join in the fun at this time. ”

Li Xin smiled and nodded.

Xue Qingyan sat next to Yang'er and Xiaokang, Xiaokang laughed twice, lowered his voice and said to Xue Qingyan: "Brother Qingyan, you are the fiancé of me and Brother Yang's sister-in-law, in other words, he will be our brother-in-law in the future, this is a little shorter than us......"

Xue Qingyan quietly glanced at the smiling Xiaokang and said, "You are younger than me, can you really open your mouth to accept my uncle?" ”

Xiaokang choked, Yang'er couldn't help but smile and said: "There is nothing to worry about in the title, we will still call Brother Qingyan in the future." ”

Xue Qingyan took a sip of tea with satisfaction.

Xiaokang didn't succeed in tricking, and he was a little frustrated, but Xue Qingyan said: "Speaking of which, the three of us are relatively backward. ”

"What do I think?" Xiaokang raised his eyebrows.

"You see, I have a fiancée, it's your sister, Yang'er also has a fiancée, and the daughter of the village chief, who is about the same age as him, is left with you, and you haven't settled yet." Xue Qingyan casually threw out these words, and went back with "courtesy exchanges", which made Xiaokang very annoyed.

But there is no way, what people say is the truth, and he can't refute it.

A smile slowly seeped out of Xue Qingyan's face, and Yang'er lowered his head and said with a sullen smile: "Brother Qingyan, don't play tricks on the well-off, he will take it seriously." If I heard what you said, I really begged my second aunt to ask my second aunt to book a family affair for him, it would be a big trouble. ”

Xiaokang snorted from his nose and said, "Don't be complacent, I'm not in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law now, and I will pick the good girl in the future." It's not like you, it's decided early, and you don't have a choice in the future. ”

Xue Qingyan smiled: "There are advantages to choosing, and there are advantages to not choosing." In my opinion, the benefits of not choosing are greater. ”

Yang'er said: "The person chosen by the mother must not be wrong." ”

Well-off psychology, that sting......

After talking for a long time, Guan Wen and Li Ming also came back, Guan Wen had a smile on his face, and he was not surprised to see Xue Qingyan here, so he said hello to him and pulled Li Ming to sit down together.

"How?" Li Xin asked with concern.

"When they heard that Mingzi was a new person this year, they were all amazed, and it was very smooth to get to know each other in a circle." Guan Wen smiled: "But I just haven't seen Su Yan, I don't know where he is at this time." ”

As he was talking, the hustle and bustle on the high platform gradually became smaller, and some people moved some things down from the high platform, and then lifted some things, most of which were high tables that could be used to place stones, and there was also a large table, and a few chairs were placed behind the table.

With three strong drums, the master of ceremonies came to the stage and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen of Huixian, this year is our annual gem meeting!" ”

The lengthy opening speech and the boring leader's speech also seemed very attractive, at least Li Ming and Yang'er listened to it with relish. Yang'er said in a low voice: "The adult who spoke said it quite well. ”

The art of speech is also an art, and Li Xin almost forgot it. This kind of ability to talk eloquently in front of everyone is also a must for officials.

After this part was over, stones began to be lifted up one after another, and placed on the high table. The master of ceremonies sings the name of the stone, the origin of the stone and the beautiful meaning of the stone according to the owner of the stone.

After two rounds of stones, Li Xin began to feel a little tired.

The emotions of the surrounding people are very high, and some of the stones that have been moved out have unique shapes and colors, pushing the atmosphere forward one after another. Xing'er is also excitedly waiting for the master of ceremonies to tell the story of the next stone.

Li Xin propped up his elbows on the table, pressed his palms against his forehead, and let his head slam into his palms according to his wishes.

was closing his eyes and recuperating, but he could hear the laughter of the people below.

Li Xin raised his head and squinted, and before he could hear what everyone was laughing at, he heard Li Ming say in a deep voice: "What's going on?" ”

It happened that the big man at the next table had a loud voice, and at this time he sneered loudly: "Such a large piece of bulky stone, without any special shape, color or pattern, can also be moved?" ”

Li Xin looked at it, and suddenly the sleepiness subsided—the big stone that was being placed in everyone's sight on it was indeed as the man at the next table said, without special shapes, colors and patterns, but it happened to be very similar to the big stone offered on the high shrine of the Li family!
