Cui Jing was born with a cold face with a stubborn atmosphere, and because of his status and military achievements, he can always give people a sense of intimidation, which prevents him from many unnecessary communication troubles.

Therefore, when he faced Yao Tingwei's outrageously enthusiastic behavior, he really lacked the experience to deal with it, and he didn't have too clear regulations in his mind.

But stubborn instinct dictates that it is bound to be impossible to be led by the nose -

This caused Yao Tingwei to tug for a while, but he couldn't pull it.

Yao Tingwei tugged again, but still didn't move.

“……”

Yao Tingwei silently looked at the lower body of the immovable young man, is the young man's chassis so solid?

But Yao Tingwei was unwilling to give up, only the smile on his face faded, leaned over slightly to Cui Jing, and said in a slightly lower voice: "Xiaguan has been dealing with a headless murder case recently......"

Cui Jing looked at him: "? ”

Seeing that there was a hint of exploration in his slightly confused expression, Yao Yi was sure in his heart that the young man really had a unique preference.

"Therefore, the case is extremely strange, and the progress of the case is blocked, so the lower officials tried to find some clues from the things before his death, and the deceased was a man in the army, with a military position, and was a little special, so Yao had some details to ask Cui Dadu Governor ......"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of please: "Why don't you talk while walking?" ”

“……”

"Yao is late, and he has been waiting for a long time for sacrificial wine!" As soon as Yao Yi saw Qiao Yang, he waved his hands in shame and said with a smile.

After Qiao Saijiu was stunned for a while, he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Where is ......?"

After all, he wasn't waiting at all.

Qiao Saijiu was a little puzzled in his heart.

He just said casually to the officials after the bow competition, "If you don't dislike it, why don't you go to the cold house at night to deal with it...... This is clearly a polite word!

These people came to the prison of other countries to see the bow, and he ordered the prison of the country to take care of a lunch at noon, which is already benevolent and righteous, where is there any reason to take care of their dinner?

What's more, if you come to his private residence, he will have to pay for the food - I guess anyone who wants some face can't do such a thing, right?

But that Wei Shilang really came!

Young people are geniuses, the road to officialdom is too smooth, and they have not undergone any polishing, and there is a shortage of human feelings, which is understandable......

But why did Yao Tingwei come to his age?

Seeing that someone walked in later, Qiao Saijiu was surprised: "Cui Dadudu?!" ”

What a hurricane brought this one in!

Seeing Qiao Yang's demeanor, Yao Yi smiled and said nothing-is it an accident? Attracted by the murder case.

Hearing the movement here, Uncle Wei Yi, who was talking to the Chang family brothers and sisters under the corridor, turned his head to look over and said with a smile: "It turns out that Cui Lingan also likes to eat fish." ”

Chang Suining also looked over, and it happened that Cui Jing came to follow the prestige.

Under the corridor, there are two lanterns depicting bamboo orchids, casting a faint warm light, which is enveloped on the girl's body, reflecting the moon-blue skirt like the same sky and clouds, and the white face is also reflected very clearly.

The lights and the night competed for a moment, and the eyes of the two were far away.

The guests had arrived, and Qiao Xianjiu could only invite people into the hall with a smiling face, and secretly motioned to the servants behind his back to go to the kitchen and beg Madame to add a few more dishes to save his life.

Wang, who has good cooking skills, likes to cook, especially for his own children, and tonight because Chang Suian is also there, he happily went to the kitchen to work until now.

Now, when he heard that another official was coming, he felt that her husband was blind again, and he was impatient and threw the rest of the work to the cook, who had practiced her cooking skills for the children, not for him to entertain his colleagues.

The Wang family picked a pick, and simply took a seat early.

There were two other food tables in the dining hall, and Chang Suining and Qiao Yumian sat on the same table.

Before Qiao Yubai came over, Yao Yi asked with concern: "I was really relieved to see that Ling Lang was injured today, so I wanted to come and take a look...... I wonder what happened to Ling Lang now? ”

Although Qiao Xijiu didn't believe his nonsense at all, he also replied with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the doctor told me to rest for a while, so I can't come to see you, and don't be surprised if it's rude." ”

Yao Yi hurriedly said: "Where is it...... Naturally, it's important to recuperate! ”

Anyway, he didn't really come to see this Qiao Langjun.

Everyone eats separately, Qiao Yang, as the host, is not restricted in any small or big festival, and because of Uncle Wei's presence, the atmosphere in the banquet is extremely casual.

While Yao Yi was drinking and chatting, Qiao Yumian asked Chang Suining: "Ning Ning, do you want to eat?" ”

In the past, Ning Ning would have been surprised if she said that she would eat wine, but now Ning Ning will only think that it is reasonable to pour spirits into a sea bowl.

She asked casually out of intimacy, but it made many people in the hall suddenly nervous.

Chang Suining himself is counted as one.

Xi'er inevitably has lingering feelings about her girl's drunkenness.

And Cui Jing on the opposite side looked over out of instinct, and unconsciously clenched the bamboo chopsticks in his hand-

Yuan Xiang, who was anxious to protect the master, was even more breathless, and looked at the Chang family lady uneasily.

At the same time, Wei Shuyi and Chang Suian's eyes also fell on Chang Suining.

"......" Under the gaze of the pair of eyes that were either wary or worried or not thinking that it was a big deal, or with the intention of dissuasion, Chang Suining and Qiao Yumian said: "No need, I don't like to drink." ”

With these words, the invisible and tense atmosphere was relieved.

Yao Yi noticed that the atmosphere among young people was a little strange, but he couldn't delve into it, so he only sighed: "Today's bow competition is really full of twists and turns, and it is very thrilling......

Uncle Wei said with a smile: "Chang Niangzi must be famous after today's events." ”

Chang Sui Ning ignored his quips.

But Wei Shuyi's words had logically brought the focus of the conversation to her, and Yao Yi was able to say as if casually: "On the way here...... I heard a few students say that Chang Niangzi and Qiao are going to hold a banquet for the teacher? ”

Qiao Saijiu smiled helplessly when he heard this: "I just heard about my apprenticeship today, so they can't wait to arrange a banquet with me?" I don't know where this all came from......"

Yao Yi suddenly said, how can you do things so publicly, it turns out that it is just misinformation.

"It's not a misinformation, it's me who told them." Chang Sui Ning Dao.

Yao Yi's expression was stunned, and Qiao Saijiu was also stunned: "...... When did this happen? ”

"It was just decided after the game." Chang Sui Ning said: "I haven't had time to discuss with you yet-"

Qiao Saijiu reacted when he heard this, and then showed disapproval: "What is not discussed, what kind of apprenticeship banquet does your family have to make, why do you have to show these vulgar rituals?" ”

After a pause, he asked tentatively, "It's already decided?" Where are you going to put it? ”

He doesn't care about whether he apprentices or not, and he has always disliked being lively, but in this world, who can refuse their children to show filial piety to themselves in front of everyone?

Chang Suining: "Three days later, I will be in Dengtai Tower." ”

Qiao Saijiu made a look of surprise: "Dengtai Tower? What is the silver for? ”

Dengtai Lou is a first-class restaurant in Beijing, and the dishes are notoriously good, but also notoriously expensive.

Facing those strange eyes, Chang Sui was silent.

Lao Qiao drank a few glasses of wine, and this drama of wanting to refuse and showing off his children's filial piety and generosity was a little exaggerated......

She could only cooperate: "Apprenticeship is a big deal, and you can't be sloppy." ”

"You kid......" Qiao Xijiu sighed, paused, and then asked in a compromised tone, "How many tables are you going to set up?" ”

"It's not decided yet, we have to wait for the list of invitations to come out tomorrow-"

Qiao Xianjiu advised: "Don't be too extravagant......

"It's okay!" Chang Suian said in a generous tone: "Ning Ning just needs to draw up a list, it's a big deal that we will package Dengtai Building that day!" ”

Qiao Yumian reminded on the side: "But I remember that Cui Liulangjun's celebration banquet was also in Dengtai Tower, and it seems that it was also three days later?" ”

"Don't worry, Daddy, they are familiar with the shopkeeper of Dengtai Building, just say hello then!" Chang Suian said, his voice suddenly paused, and he realized that Cui Jing was still sitting on the side-

He smiled abruptly: "And the Dengtai Building is big, and it is divided into three floors, so it is enough to divide it." ”

"Three days later, it was the Dragon Boat Festival." Uncle Wei asked Chang Suining with a smile: "Wei had nothing to do at home that day, I don't know if I can ask Chang Niangzi for an invitation, and also go to eat a cup of apprenticeship wine?" ”

"Wei Shilang doesn't say it, I will definitely have someone send the invitation to your mansion tomorrow." Chang Suining looked at him and said, "At that time, I will also invite Wei Shilang and Mrs. Duan to go together." ”

She chose Dengtai Tower, in order to attract attention, and anyone who can pull it over should naturally not let go.

As a young and promising Dongtai waiter, Wei Shuyi is the focus of everyone everywhere he goes, and it is really suitable for such a person to go to her apprenticeship banquet and ask her to pick up a handful of wool - don't say that Uncle Wei is willing to take the initiative to go, even if he is unwilling to go, she is bound to think of it.

And the equally suitable and surpassing candidate is naturally Cui Jing.

Even if it was just out of courtesy to treat acquaintances equally, Chang Suining also invited at this time: "If Governor Cui doesn't dislike it, please go with him when he is free." ”

Cui Jing hadn't answered yet, Yao Tingwei on the side had already said with a smile: "Cui Dadudu's Xuance Mansion is only one street away from Dengtai Tower, but it's just a matter of lifting his feet, and Cui Liulang is also going to hold a banquet in Dengtai Tower that day, and the two things collide in one place, and Cui Dadu Governor has to go." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wei Shuyi again: "When the three of us go together, won't it be lively?" ”

“？” Yuan Xiang and Changji glanced at each other rarely.

Although but ...... It seems that Chang Niangzi didn't invite Yao Tingwei, right?

Cui Jing had a rare reflection.

What did he do wrong, in just one night, he was going to be used repeatedly by Yao Tingwei?

Looking back on the experience of the day, I only felt that on the day I came to the country, I didn't do anything, and I was used by others.

If he had taken a look at the yellow calendar before going out today, the yellow calendar would have a warning written on it: "It is easy to be used."

But providence makes people, but he really wants to go to this Dengtai Tower - Cui Lang's celebration banquet is indispensable to Xi Zhiyuan, who is in the same team today, and for this alone, it is worth a trip for him.

Being used seems to have become his inescapable fate.

This sense of fate forced Governor Cui to nod.

Yao Tingwei smiled even more and sat up straighter.

Although he, as the secretary of Dali Temple, has not finished the case at hand because there is still a case at hand, and there is no rest for the Dragon Boat Festival, he can also consider taking half a day to give this child a cheer.

But the previous rumors are still there, and I think the kid should be embarrassed to invite him directly...... In this case, he simply invited himself to invite himself!

Chang Suining saw Yao Yi's reaction in his eyes, and there was more thought in his heart.

"Okay, okay...... Then go! Qiao raised his glass in a good mood: "I will toast you on behalf of this female apprentice of my family, thank you for appreciating it!" ”

In the final analysis, in the same officialdom, everyone is so active in cheering for his old face, and he should have a toast.

But this homage was confiscated.

The five-day holiday makes people happy, although the son was beaten up, but the girl was too angry to help fight back, really raised her eyebrows, Qiao sacrificed wine in a happy mood, so she drank a few more.

The curfew will be temporarily lifted in the city before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, and there is no need to worry about the time to go back, and the group will drink until late at night.

Qiao was drunk first and was helped back by Chang Sui'an and Wei Shuyi.

Chang Suining did not go back to the courtyard with Qiao Yumian because he wanted to go back to Changfu today, but went out of the dining hall and waited for Chang Sui'an in the courtyard.

The night breeze brought a bit of coolness to the summer night, and Chang Suining slowly walked under a tree planted in the courtyard, and looked up at the snow-white flower spikes on the tree.

"The girl likes this dog-tailed flower?" Xi'er said enthusiastically: "Can the maid climb up and fold some for you?" ”

This tree is a female tree, and the flowers bloom at the top of the branches, and they cannot be folded unless they climb up.

"Not necessarily." Chang Sui Ning shook his head lightly: "I was just thinking, this flower blooms so densely, it will definitely produce a lot of chestnuts in autumn." ”

Cui Jing, who finally came out of the dining hall, heard this, paused slightly, and looked at the girl who was looking up at the snow-white chestnut flowers full of branches.

"The girl likes to eat chestnuts now?" Xi'er asked.

Chang Suining nodded truthfully: "I like it." ”

Hearing this heartfelt "like", in the night, Cui Jing's eyebrows moved slightly.

For Chang Suining, there are very few things she likes and can reach, and it would be too boring to hide even this preference if she lived again.

What's more, there are more people who like to eat chestnuts, and there is nothing to hide.

"Then it's a good season to eat chestnuts, and the maid peels chestnuts for the girl every day to eat." Xi'er said, a little curious: "But how can there be a chestnut tree here?" Chestnut trees are planted in the courtyard, and it is the first time I have seen them. ”

Could it be that the Qiao family also likes to eat chestnuts?

But there is a large chestnut forest outside the city, and there is no shortage of chestnuts to eat in Jingshi, and it is still rare to plant them in the courtyard.

"Or because His Royal Highness the former prince likes to eat chestnuts, Qiao sacrificed wine and planted this tree to see things and think of the old master." Cui Jing walked over.

He has always been silent, and he rarely takes the initiative to talk to anyone, but when he encounters something related to His Royal Highness the former Prince, he will always say a few more words.

Chang Sui Ning turned his head to look at him.

"How did Governor Cui know that His Royal Highness the First Prince likes to eat chestnuts?"

This person took over her Xuan Ce Army, took her moon bow, and even knew her little preferences so clearly during her lifetime?
