Chapter 11 Tang Qiqi

When night fell, Liu Xunyin was making a sencha, and suddenly saw a figure on the eaves flashing by, as agile as a flying swallow, knowing that it was Wen Ash, he shouted softly: "Young Master Wen." ”

"Girl looking for sound. Ember stood up, and when he saw her, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"Wen Gongzi has been running around for a few days, have you ever found an answer?" asked Liu Xunyin.

"No, I searched all the silk cloth shops in Yangzhou City, but I didn't see a similar process. I don't know which craftsman this brocade came from. Wen Ember pressed the brocade silk in his arms and frowned.

Liu Xunyin remembered that it was Liang Huayue's sixteenth birthday recently, and the Liang family intended to hold a banquet, and had sent invitations to the famous eunuchs and the children of famous and decent families in Yangzhou City, so he said:

"I think Uncle Liang's friends are mostly silk merchants. Why don't you go to the banquet and maybe find some clues. ”

"Good. Ember pondered for a moment and agreed.

Liu Xunyin was about to go back to the room, but he heard behind him and said, "Girl, stay behind." ”

"What else is the matter with Mr. Wen. ”

Wen Shen handed her a paper bag, which overflowed with the sweet smell of osmanthus flowers: "I heard Qinghe say that you like to eat pastries, I happened to go out, so I bought some." ”

Liu Xunyin thought of the osmanthus cake that had been placed in the room for days, and thought it was given by Qinghe, but his heart couldn't help but move.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen. ”

"Little things. The sound-seeking girl rests early. Ember turned to leave.

The decoction pot behind him was steaming, Liu Xunyin came back to his senses, poured out a bowl of lotus core tea and brought it into Yu Qinghe's room, seeing that he was flipping through the books with his face up, and the noon meal on the table had not moved at all, he was surprised: "What's wrong with my brother today, I actually read the book without sleep and food." ”

"Sister, what do you say I am going to prepare for my birthday? Yu Qinghe said sadly, and without looking at the ground, he raised the bowl and drank it all, and his facial features immediately squeezed together: "Sister, it's so bitter!"

Liu Xunyin stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth and said with a smile: "The Du family will prepare, so why bother with it." ”

"But...... If I don't prepare alone, I'm afraid that guy will beat me a few more times when he gets angry. ”

Liu Xunyin knew that he was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and said: "The gift is important in the heart." I want to come to Yue'er, gold, silver, jade, silk and satin, and there is no shortage of anything. As long as you prepare with your heart, she will love it. ”

"If it were my sister, what would I like?"

Liu Xunyin remembered that every year on his birthday, Yu Qinghe hurriedly made pastries and crooked wooden figures, and said gently: "Sister likes the things you make the most, why don't you make a copy for Yue'er." ”

"Is that so?" Yu Qinghe looked happy: "Thank you, sister!"

In the next few days, Yu Qinghe locked himself in his room and closed the door to refuse guests, and three meals were sent in and out by servants. Even Xiao Chumen's disciples approached him for a competition, but they were politely declined.

"What is this guy messing around?" Du Ruo asked suspiciously.

"Master don't worry. Qinghe has grown up and has his own ideas. Liu Xunyin's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he said with a smile.

On the day of the banquet, the Liang family sent a coachman and carriage to pick him up early. Liu Xunyin simply pulled up her hair in a bun, changed into a light silk gauze shirt, and pinned the jade flute to her waist. When I walked out of the door, I saw Wen Ember standing in the courtyard, still dressed in black, with a side face as sharp and angular as a carving, very handsome.

"Young Master Wen has been waiting for a long time. ”

"Probably not. This flower is blooming well. Wen Ember looked at the white magnolia tree in the courtyard, the fragrance of the flowers was fragrant, and it was cold to the bone.

"Sister, Brother Wen!"

The two waited for a long time, and Yu Qinghe was late. The attendant behind him carried a congratulatory gift, covered with a red cloth.

"What a good thing, even my sister can't look at it. ”

Yu Qinghe shyly touched the back of his head: "Sister will know when the time comes." ”

The Liang family is like a city, and there is an endless stream of people to send gifts and congratulations. Du Ruo took them into the mansion and went to Liang Heng and his wife to catch up. Liu Xunyin and his entourage went straight to the backyard.

"Sister Xunyin, you're coming, come in. Liang Huayue said happily. I saw that she changed into a bright yellow dress dress, with a hibiscus pink face, willow eyebrows like a crescent moon, and she looked particularly delicate.

Liuli was grooming her, and when she saw Liang Huayue's head moved, her hair bun was a little messy, and she said angrily: "Miss, don't move." ”

"This one is for you. Yu Qinghe lifted the red cloth and handed her the gift.

"It took a lot of thought this time. Liu Xunyin smiled in his heart.

I saw a strange wood carving: under the pear blossom tree, the woman was carrying a glass lantern, surrounded by fireflies, and a few cute rabbits were scattered at her feet.

Liang Huayue couldn't put it down, but said, "You are too ugly to carve." ”

"Hmph. Yu Qinghe was a little angry. Liu Xunyin grabbed him with a smile, said goodbye to Liang Huayue, and went to the banquet with Wen Yan to sit down.

The banquet was held in the garden of the Liang Mansion. The banquet is full of rich dishes, with exquisite vocal music and dancers in the middle. In the middle, many children of the family came to talk to Liang Huayue, but she had a cold face and looked like she didn't want to answer.

"Yue'er, people are kind enough to congratulate you, you should also be warm, after all, today you are the master, they are guests. Liu Xunyin persuaded softly.

"I don't know what Daddy is thinking. Most of the children of the family who came today are about the same age as me, and my father is eager to marry me off as soon as possible. ”

"He's good for you, too. Seeing that Liang Huayue was stubborn, Liu Xunyin smiled and shook his head.

After a while, Ember returned to his seat.

"But what did you find?" asked Liu Xunyin.

Ember shook his head and took a sip of his wine.

The feast ended, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Liu Xunyin and his party were about to salute and say goodbye when they suddenly heard a silver bell-like sound in the sky.

"Liang Huayue, I've been looking for you for so long, but I'm not dead. ”

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman appeared above the roof beam, with a graceful figure. The face is immature, but it is already a captivating posture, and there is charm between the eyebrows and eyes.

"Tang Qiqi, it's actually you!" Liang Huayue picked up the whip from the table and threw it at her, and Tang Qiqi flew back.

"Draw the moon, don't be rude. Liu Xunyin shot out with three golden needles and struck the whip on the ground.

"I heard about the joy of the birthday of the eldest lady of the Liang family, and I came to celebrate. Why is Miss Liang so rude, and she doesn't pour a cup of tea for the guests first, so she starts to do it. Tang Qiqi smiled and said to Liu Xunyin: "Thank you sister for saving me." ”

"Since you are here to congratulate you, why did you come empty-handed? Liang Huayue said.

"Who said I was empty-handed, this snow fox fur on my body is a birthday gift for you. ”

Liang Huayue was even more annoyed: "You actually poisoned me with fox blood." ”

"We haven't come up with a result yet, why would you come to me if we don't poison you. What's more, this poison can't kill people. ”

"Miss Qiqi, although this poison can't kill people, the cold invades the body, and I can't bear it for many years. Liu Xunyin understood the situation and persuaded.

"Then I'll spare your life for this sister's sake. Tang Qiqi smiled and stretched out his hand to hand her a golden pill. Not long after taking it, the blue and white color between Liang Huayue's eyebrows and eyes dissipated.
