Sixteen.

It's the day when the Shen family eats together again.

Since Qiu Sang left, Chun Tao has had to run Wei Xuan and Qiang Xuan at both ends, and they have been busy all day long.

However, she never had any complaints, nor did she mention to Shen Xiaoqing to help Ye Fei find a few maids, but she still enjoyed it.

That is, the relationship between Chun Tao, so Ye Fei and Shen Xiaoqing went to the Azalea Garden together.

After walking in silence for a while, Shen Xiaoqing suddenly said to Ye Fei: "My father came to me last night, saying that the Liu family in the east of the city is going to hold a Qingwu meeting, and the people invited are all young talents from some martial arts families in the city, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Me?" Ye Fei was surprised, "I don't know martial arts, let alone a young talent, what am I going to do." ”

"Uncle, Miss means to ask if you would like to accompany her. Chun Tao interjected at this time.

"Is that what you mean?" Ye Fei asked as he looked at Shen Xiaoqing.

Shen Xiaoqing turned his head to look at the flowers and plants on the edge of the trail and said "um".

"If the lady doesn't think I'm embarrassed, I can go with you. ”

"Then it's settled. Chun Tao smiled happily.

After entering the Rhododendron Garden and following Shen Xiaoqing to greet all the elders, Ye Fei was about to walk behind the screen.

"Ye Fei!" At this time, Shen Yu called out Ye Fei's name.

Ye Fei turned around a little surprised, thinking that he had heard it wrong. From the time he entered the door of the Shen family to the present, Shen Yu had never called his name.

Shen Xiaoqing frowned, thinking that his father had something to embarrass Ye Fei.

"Come and sit down here. Shen Yu beckoned to Ye Fei and asked him not to sit at the same table with the women and children.

Hearing Shen Yu say this, everyone present was surprised.

"You just sit with Xiao Qing. Shen Yu continued.

After smiling awkwardly, Ye Fei sat down next to Shen Xiaoqing, and on the other side of him was Shen Xiaosheng in the second room. Shen Xiaosheng's face was gloomy, as if he was unwilling to sit with Ye Fei.

Wait until everyone is seated. Everyone first drank a glass of wine, and then Shen Yu said to Ye Fei: "The day after tomorrow, the Liu family will hold a Qingwu meeting, so you can accompany Xiaoqing to go together." ”

Ye Fei nodded and said, "I know, she told me when she came just now." ”

"Oh?" Shen Yu was a little surprised.

Shen Xiaosheng on the side squeezed the wine glass tightly, looking very unhappy. The Youth Martial Arts Association is held once a year, and the participants are some young talents in the city who have achieved a small degree. After ten years and eight years, these young talents will be the mainstay of Shaoxing martial arts, and they will be well-known big names.

Shen Xiaosheng has always wanted to participate in the Qingwu Meeting, not for anything else but to meet these friends. However, in previous years, it was either Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaosu, the big houses of the Shen family, or Shen Xiaoqing and his eldest brother Shen Xiaowen.

Now that Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaosu are both past their age, his eldest brother Shen Xiaowen also went to Bailu Academy, and Shen Xiaohua in the third room is still young, he thought that it was him and Shen Xiaoqing who would go to the Qingwu Club this year, but he didn't expect Shen Yu to send Ye Fei.

"Brother Sheng, if you pinch this cup again, it will crack. Ye Fei reminded Shen Xiaosheng.

Seeing Ye Fei smiling, Shen Xiaosheng was even more unhappy in his heart. With a "bang", he slammed the wine glass on the table and got up angrily, startling everyone.

"You rebel, what do you want to do!" Shen Bian scolded angrily.

"Why, this surnamed Ye doesn't know any martial arts at all, why let him go to the Qingwu Meeting, isn't this a shame for our Shen family!" Shen Xiaosheng said.

"That's right," Ye Fei echoed, "I don't want to go anyway, or let Brother Sheng go for me." ”

As soon as Ye Fei's words fell, he saw Shen Xiaoqing cast angry eyes at him. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.

"Sit down!" Shen Yu looked at Shen Xiao Shengdao, his face was very ugly.

After being shocked by Shen Yu's eyes, Shen Xiaosheng sat down obediently, his whole body trembling violently.

"Your sister Qing has now become a parent, so you naturally have to be with your husband when you go out to socialize, otherwise it won't be a joke!" Shen Yu explained.

Shen Xiaosheng was speechless.

"There are more than ten families of martial arts in Shaoxing, but our Shen family is selected as one of the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, and it can be regarded as the first of Shaoxing martial arts. Let me ask, your eldest brother Xiao Yan, your own brother Xiao Wen, and your sister Qing, which one is not the best among their peers? If it were you, would you dare to say that you could dominate the audience?" Shen Yu asked.

Shen Xiaosheng was speechless, he shook his head, and looked like he was about to cry.

"You shameful thing for not learning and not being able to learn," Shen Bian, the old man of the second room, looked at his second son with pity, "Don't apologize to your uncle and your brother-in-law Ye soon!"

Shen Xiaosheng got up, first apologized to Shen Yu, then turned to Ye Fei, and after struggling for a moment, he bent down.

"No, no," Ye Fei hurriedly stopped Shen Xiaosheng, "Brother Sheng is outspoken, his blood is strong, it is the nature of a man, I appreciate it very much." In the future, I will go out less to drink flower wine, less messing around with some fox friends and dog friends, and concentrate on cultivation, and within three years and five years, I will definitely be able to take charge of myself. ”

Because of these few words, on the way back after the family banquet was dispersed, Ye Fei was reprimanded by Shen Xiaoqing.

"What you just said is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, I am really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

"Originally, because the second aunt was sent to the farm, the second room and our big house were suspicious, so don't provoke their people in the second room in the future!"

"How many pairs of eyes are staring at our Shen family, just want to see our Shen family make jokes, you men, none of them are worry-free. ”

"Especially you, who are not welcome in the first place, and are still annoying people everywhere. This matter is the most difficult to deal with, and there is no way to level a bowl of water, let alone convince everyone. ”

Listening to Shen Xiaoqing's complaints and nagging, Ye Fei kept following her without saying a word. He only thought it was funny, Shen Xiaoqing usually didn't talk much, but once he got more, he chattered like a sparrow.

It seems that Shen Xiaoqing is a hard worker, and he has already imagined what Shen Xiaoqing will look like in the future.

It was afternoon.

The mothers in the room personally brought the medicine to Wei Xuan. What happened in the Azalea Garden at noon had spread all over the Shen Mansion, and these people knew that Ye Fei's status in the Shen Mansion was not what it used to be, so naturally they didn't dare to slack off anymore.

After the mothers left, Ye Fei shouted around: "Spring peach, spring peach!"

Chun Tao hid in the tree, not daring to make a sound! Since Qiu Sang left, Ye Fei had to drink the medicine she boiled every day.

The medicine was bitter and smelly, and she drank it seven times and vomited three times, and she really didn't want to drink it.

"Chun Tao, you know that you are hiding in the tree, hurry up and give me the medicine and drink it while it is hot, otherwise it will be even more difficult to drink when it gets cold. ”

"If you can't hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from fifteen, so it's better to drink the medicine obediently. ”

After a while, Chun Tao jumped down from the tree and said with a look of grievance: "Uncle, can I only drink half a bowl?"

"Yes, as long as you can get your lady to drink the remaining half bowl. ”

Chun Tao snorted, then covered her nose with her hand and drank an entire bowl of medicine in one go. Immediately after drinking, she put the bowl on the coffee table, then walked under the tree, and gaged incessantly.

"Uncle, it's really strange that you don't take medicine, and you cook medicine every day for others to drink. ”

"You are weak and cold, if you don't make up for it, how will you give birth to a big fat boy in the future. Ye Fei said as he put some flour into the medicine residue, and then kneaded the medicine residue into a ball.

He originally wanted to make alchemy pills to replenish his body, but he couldn't set up a big stove in the courtyard, so he could only boil the medicinal herbs to soften first, and then knead them into balls with some flour. After taking it for a while, although the effect was far inferior to the elixir refined in the furnace, it still played a big role.

Compared to two months ago, my body is not weak now.

"Uncle, I don't plan to get married and have children in the future. ”

"If you don't plan to get married, it's hard for you to become a nun. ”

Chun Tao let out a lament, then sat down under the tree, held her immature face with both palms and said, "A person of our status can't be a good person at all. Instead of finding a mediocre man to marry, it is better to live alone. Anyway, I will also do some martial arts, and in the future, I will be a woman who draws a sword to help each other when the road is uneven. ”

Ye Fei got up, walked in front of Chun Tao, and said with a smile: "Then it's better to be a maid in the room, give me a big fat son, and be a concubine comfortably." ”

"I don't want to be a concubine in Chun Tao!"

"Don't forget, in another year, I will be reconciled with your young lady, and then I will share the family wealth, if you are from me now, maybe it will be a main room in the future, or the main room of a famous family!"

"But uncle, you won't dislike Chun Tao's humble background, right?"

Ye Fei squatted down, then pinched Chun Tao's chin with his left hand, and said in a teasing tone: "Although your appearance is not as good as your young lady, you are also better than most people, with red lips and white teeth. You say you're from a humble background, but I'm down enough to dislike you. Besides, you know martial arts, which is just right to protect me. How about it? Do you want to consider being my roommate, and then be my wife after leaving the Shen family with me?"

After staring at Ye Fei for a while, Chun Tao suddenly got up and said, "Uncle made fun of me again" and fled in a hurry.

Looking at her, Ye Fei smiled and muttered to himself, "Sure enough, it's still a little girl!"

Two days later, Ye Fei followed Shen Xiaoqing to Liu's house in the east of the city.

On the carriage, knowing that Ye Fei would be coldly looked at or sneered at in the Liu family later, Shen Xiaoqing said: "If someone else says something later, don't take it to heart." ”

"The sons of the Chang family, the Lian family, and the Wang family are all scoundrels who don't learn and don't know how to cause trouble, and you will try to avoid them later. ”

"And the sons of the family who died mysteriously after chasing you before, their brothers and sisters are also present, so you should be careful not to conflict with them at that time. ”

Looking at Shen Xiaoqing's worried appearance, Ye Fei smiled and said: "Lady, it feels like going to the Hongmen banquet, I am a little scared, or you can go alone, let me go back." ”

"There are still things in this world that my uncle is afraid of. Chun Tao, who was sitting next to Shen Xiaoqing, muttered.

Ye Fei raised his hand, slapped the back of Chun Tao's hand, and pretended to be angry and said: "You girl, dare to talk and tease me in front of the lady, but you don't dare to be my maid in the room, you are really colored." ”
