After the exam, it's still early.

Liu Runxi proposed to invite Shen You'an to dinner, which was the very good Hunan restaurant he mentioned last time.

Shen Youan readily agreed.

This is a private restaurant in a secluded location and elegantly decorated, suitable for chatting and talking.

Because this restaurant is a reservation system, it is not yet noon, and the restaurant is very quiet.

The manager saw a pair of young men and women walking in, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What a talented man and a good pair of women." ”

It's so eye-catching.

His eyes fell on the young man, and he couldn't help but feel a little familiar.

Where has this boy been seen?

The manager ushered in the send-off, and he had already developed a pair of fiery eyes, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and immediately greeted him excitedly and enthusiastically.

"Young Master Liu is here, and he is far away."

About half a year ago, Liu Gongzi accompanied his father to have dinner here, and the manager was deeply impressed by this Liu Gongzi at that time.

Liu Runxi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "I made an appointment the day before yesterday, Song Juxiang." ”

The manager smiled and said, "Young Master Liu, this young lady, let's go upstairs, please." ”

When going upstairs, the manager couldn't help but look at the girl walking beside Yoo Yun-hee.

Liu Gongzi's identity is extraordinary, and if he can be by his side, his identity must be unusual.

Look at this girl's temperament, she should also be the daughter of a high-ranking official and a wealthy businessman.

The manager sighed in his heart and introduced the two of them to the Song Ju Chamber.

The box is not big, but there should be, and the window is a river view, and the scenery is unique.

After the manager poured the tea and ordered the food, he withdrew with great eyes.

Liu Yunxi blew the clear tea soup, and the calm water surface rippled in circles.

"Today's exam questions are quite difficult."

"Hmm." Shen Youan replied lightly.

"But for you, it shouldn't be a problem."

Shen Youan said: "Each other." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

For so many years, the two can be said to be competitors, and I'm afraid no one in the world knows each other better than them.

A few pounds and taels each, and their hearts are clear.

Jingzhou, pear orchard.

The autumn light is just right, and the babbling excerpts sing all the joys and sorrows.

In the chair of the main master under the stands, a spirited old woman wearing a red cardigan jacket and a woolen blanket on her knees, was concentrating on enjoying the performance on the stage.

In front of the surrounding tea table, there were several noble ladies with exquisite makeup and elegant charm.

One of the noblewomen who was sitting on the periphery was a little interested, her head propped up, her eyes were restrained, and she quietly observed the surroundings.

It's ironic to sing about sisterhood on stage.

The old woman is in good spirits, her hands full of gold and jade gesticulate with the plot from time to time, and the cloud-handed orchid fingers are even more graceful than the famous characters on the stage.

Tsk, it deserves to be the first horn of the year.

Helian Yu took a sip of tea and noticed that a noble lady got up and went out of the theater with the housekeeper who was waiting on the side, it was time to prepare for the noon banquet.

Helian Yu narrowed his eyes and slowly got up, and the maid on the side immediately greeted him and said respectfully: "What does Madame command?" ”

Helian Yu smiled, "I drank too much tea and needed to change my clothes." ”

The so-called change of clothes, that is, a kind of elegant saying, out of courtesy.

"Madame, come with me."

Helian Yu followed the maid out of the theater, the pear garden where the theater is located only occupies a corner of this manor, in addition to the chrysanthemum garden, orchid garden, and plum garden, together is the Four Seasons Villa.

Located on the Yan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, this Zhuangzi is rumored to be the royal garden of the former dynasty, but now, it is just the most ordinary private garden of the Yu family.

It is said that the old lady believes in feng shui very much, whether it is the Yu family or the four seasons villa where she often recuperates.

For example, this bathroom, just east of the pear orchard, the five elements of the bathroom belong to water, and the east belongs to wood, according to the principle of the five elements of mutual restraint, water can grow wood, which is conducive to feng shui.

The bathroom is also decorated like an elegant hall, burning with sandalwood, with expensive greenery, and even the washstand is an extremely rare benoite.

Helian Yu took out a tissue and wiped his hands slowly.

Walking out of the bathroom, the maid was still waiting respectfully.

Helian Yu smiled and said, "You go get busy, I'll take a walk in the garden." ”

The maid refused to leave: "I will follow Madame from a distance, and I will not disturb Madame Yaxing." ”

Helian Yu smiled, this Yu family's helper is also well-trained.

Helian Yu didn't care about her anymore, just wandered around in the garden, although the pear orchard is a theater garden, in order to meet the scene, it is also full of pear trees, every spring, the pear blossoms are white, it is a great scene.

Now in late autumn, there are only bare branches on both sides of the road.

At this time, the maid said: "If the lady wants to enjoy the flowers, you should go to the chrysanthemum garden next door, all of which are the famous chrysanthemums carefully maintained by the lady. ”

Helian Yu said regretfully: "It's a pity that I couldn't witness it." ”

As if thinking of something, she asked, "I remember every year on the first snow day, there is also a plum blossom feast, right?" ”

The maid smiled and said, "Yes, the second lady Ximei, she presides over the plum blossom banquet every year." ”

Helian Yu raised an eyebrow.

The first generation of the Yu family fought the country, and the descendants enjoyed the blessings, all of them were from the grassroots, but they preferred this vassal and elegant hypocrisy, which is really ironic.

Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, there are some things, there are no bones in the bones, no matter how to imitate, you can't learn half a point, you can only be Dong Shi Xiaofeng, smiling and generous.

Of course, in today's Jingzhou, no one dares to mock in person, but complaining behind the scenes must be indispensable.

"Say, did you steal my bracelet, okay, I treat you well, why are you so shameless." The woman's caustic voice was faintly heard.

This was followed by the woman's begging for mercy, followed by a loud slap.

Helian Yu paused and raised his eyebrows.

The maid behind him immediately lowered her voice and said, "Madam, let's go this way." ”

The woman was very alert, and immediately looked in the direction where the two were hiding: "Whoever is there, get out of here." ”

Helian Yu didn't want to hide, and under the maid's uneasy gaze, Shi Shiran walked out.

"Second lady, it's me."

The woman wears a royal blue brocade embroidered plum cheongsam, a snow-white mink shawl on her shoulders, a delicate figure, black hair in a bun, a jade face, and delicate facial features.

The woman's jewels, piled up with gold and jade, are too cheesy and look petty.

The pair of apricot eyes glanced Helian Yu up and down, but her eyes fell on the hairpin behind her head, and she looked away with difficulty and frowned, "Which one are you?" ”

The tone is not polite at all.

Helian Yu smiled and said, "Madame doesn't remember me?" My surname is Helian, and my husband's surname is Liu. ”

The woman suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are from the Helian family, you don't watch the play in the pear orchard, what are you going to hang out about?" Isn't it too cold? ”

Helian Yu maintained a proper smile: "It's a little stuffy inside, come out and take a breath." ”

The woman narrowed her eyes and looked unkind: "You won't go out and talk nonsense about what you saw today, right?" ”

The maids of the Yu family beat and scolded the maid at will, and it was not good to hear it when it was passed out, the old woman was the one who paid the most attention to her reputation, you know, it must be another scolding.

"Madame is too worried, this method is too merciful to deal with this kind of unclean hands and feet."

Helian Yu's tone was casual.

The woman kneeling on the ground trembled and looked up in disbelief.

The woman behaved dignified and elegant, a qualified noblewoman, with a kind smile on her beautiful face, but a cold heart in her eyes.

Before the cold winter wax moon, she was already cold.

The woman raised an eyebrow in interest: "Oh? How so? ”

"Stealing gold now, stealing the country in the future, don't forget that you are the second lady of the Yu family, and the head of the family is like governing the army, with strict rewards and punishments, so that you can be safe, so that the second master Yu has no worries."

The woman laughed: "What you said is so right, but unfortunately, I am not in charge." ”

The tone is full of regrets.

Helian Yu raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at the woman at eye level.

"If you take the second lady's gold bracelet, then give it a good explanation, the second lady is kind, and maybe you can be accommodating, if you stab the eldest lady, it's hard to say."

The woman just shook her head desperately: "I didn't steal it, I really didn't ......." ”

The woman in front of her was very young, in her early twenties at most, with black hair scattered over her shoulders, fair skin, beautiful appearance, and crying.

Helian Yu stared at the pair of watery eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened.

"You slut, full of lies, see if I don't kill you."

Second Lady Yu was about to get started, Helian Yu grabbed her hand with a smile: "Why should Second Lady be angry for this kind of villain, it's not worth it to be angry." ”

"This slut is so dishonest."

"Since this person is stubborn, staying with the second lady is also a scourge, so it is better to fire him and drive him out."

Second Mrs. Yu's eyes lit up, and she immediately restrained herself: "The power of the family is in the hands of my sister-in-law, and it doesn't matter if I can't dismiss me." The tone was sour.

Mrs. Yu Wei Zhuhuan, born in a famous family, a real celebrity and noble daughter, after marrying into the Yu family, she can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, her husband and daughter, the head of the family is strict, and she is known to be virtuous.

And the second lady Yu in front of her is just the grandniece of Mrs. Yu's maiden family, with long hair and short knowledge, and she is still jealous.

It's a pity, who let the family have a capable aunt and grandmother.

Helian Yu smiled slightly: "This is easy to do." ”

She whispered a word in Mei Qingdai's ear, and Mei Qingdai's eyes lit up.

"You can give it a try."

"Don't leave yet, wait for me here, I'll come when I go."

Mei Qingdai left in a hurry.

Helian Yu quietly looked at the woman who was kneeling on the ground and was crying, "Stop acting, everyone is gone." ”

The woman choked and looked up in disbelief.

Helian Yu pinched a dendrobium leaf and played with it at her fingertips, "Second Mrs. Yu can't tolerate you, why do you want to stay and humiliate yourself?" ”

Of course, I want to give it a go, after all, this Yu family is powerful and wealthy, and once it succeeds, it will be enough to change his life.

Helian Yu couldn't be clearer about this kind of woman's thoughts, and the corners of her lips hooked up a mocking smile.

She thought of the female classmate next to her son, after the exam, Xi'er asked her to eat with her again.

Xi'er didn't even bother to cover it up this time, and ate the scales and was determined to date her.

That kind of untouchable, how can it not be the intention of ascending to the sky in one step.

hit the idea on the head of her Helian Yu's son, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

In this world, there are always sparrows who want to fly on the branches as phoenixes.

The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper.

The woman saw the noble lady in front of her pulling the dendrobium leaves in her hands, her eyes were ruthless, and in the blink of an eye, the intact leaves turned into crumbs on the woman's tender fingertips and fell to the ground.

The woman's delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

When the eyes of the lady in front of her looked over, the woman's scalp was numb.

"Do you think this deep house compound is a good mix? Do you know when you don't even know how to die, everyone wants to be rich and rich, but it also depends on whether you have that life to enjoy. ”

The woman always felt that the other party's last sentence aggravated the tone, like a warning.

This time she was really scared, knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "Please Madame help me." ”

Helian Yu hooked his lips, "It's not stupid." ”

~

"According to the method you said, my sister-in-law really gave me the right to dismiss, let me handle it with full authority, you still have a way."

solved the big problem in her heart, and Mei Qingdai's smile was much happier.

"It's not easy for the eldest lady to understand you, the Yu family is harmonious, and the family is peaceful, which is a blessing."

Helian Yu's just right compliment made Mei Qingdai's face even more happy.

"You are to my liking, and you can sit with me at the banquet later."

"Thank you, Second Madame."

"I remember you said that your husband's surname is Liu, is it the Liu family I know?"

Helian Yu's eyes flashed slightly: "Yes, my husband was transferred to Qingzhou as governor five years ago, and he didn't do much, which made his wife smile." ”

Mei Qingdai pouted in disgust: "Qingzhou, that's quite far." ”

It's a backwood.

Helian Yu pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, looking meek.

Mei Qingdai glanced at her, her eyes seemed to fall on the back of her head, and suddenly said: "We have a lot of eyes, so let's do it, I will help you think of a way." ”

Helian Yu showed just the right amount of surprise on his face: "Then thank you Second Lady." ”

Mei Qingdai looked at her with a smile.

Helian Yu pulled out the hairpin from the round bun on the back of his head, "I hope Madame doesn't dislike it." ”

The words fell into the back of Mei Qingdai's head.

It was a hollow ivory crested hairpin, very luxurious and exquisite.

Mei Qingdai said happily: "It's easy to say." I couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Helian Yu secretly pressed the corners of her lips and followed Mei Qingdai into the banquet hall.

Mrs. Yu is in the main position as the old birthday star, and Mrs. Yu is busy with long sleeves and good at dancing.

At this time, a young girl walked in and threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Yu with a smile.

"Grandma, did you miss me today?"

Old Madam Yu's smiling old face wrinkled into chrysanthemums, and she hugged the girl into her arms.

"Oh, my sweetheart, let Grandma take a good look."

Helian Yu stared at the girl without blinking.

Mei Qingdai tugged at the corners of her mouth: "That's our Yu family's baby pimple, and it's also grandmother's eye beads." ”

Helian Yu's eyes were fiery, and he said with a smile: "Miss Yu is dignified and generous, with an outstanding appearance, and she deserves to be the head of the celebrities in Beijing." ”

Mei Qingdai secretly rolled her eyes.

During the banquet, several noble ladies said some jokes from time to time to make Mrs. Yu happy, and some said that today's song Suolin sang was really good, and it was worthy of Su's famous character's specialty.

It is said that the eldest young master of the Leng family has caused a lot of romantic debts again, and has become the laughing stock of Manjingzhou.

Old Madam Yu's gaze passed through everyone and accurately locked on Helian Yu.

"Mrs. Liu, I like the Nine Dragons Cloud Sea Bottle you sent."

There was a moment of silence.

Mei Qingdai blinked, and subconsciously looked at the woman beside her.

Is there so much oil and water fishing in Qingzhou?

Mrs. Yu looked at her with gentle eyes.

Helian Yu said with a smile: "The old lady just calls me Xiaoyu, if you like it, I can be regarded as the right person." ”

This old woman did it on purpose, but since that's the case, I'm not welcome.

After a pause, she raised her eyebrows and continued: "Speaking of which, there was still a rare treasure in the auction hall that day. ”

Mei Qingdai immediately asked with interest: "What baby?" ”

In the poor countryside of Qingzhou, are there any treasures she hasn't seen?

Helian Yu looked directly at the old lady on the throne, looked into those cloudy eyes, and said word by word: "A legend about love, a touching sadomasochism of three lives and three lives, I think anyone who is a woman will not refuse its temptation." ”

Mei Qingdai was more interested: "What is it?" ”

Old Madam Yu subconsciously frowned.

"That is the Qingguo Biyi white jade plate that has been passed down for more than a thousand years."

"Smack." The chopsticks fell on the table.

The room was silent.

Yu Ruohuan saw that the grandmother next to her seemed to be stunned suddenly after hearing those words.
