Chapter 33: The Birthday Feast
The woman who shouted had a beautiful face, a pair of big black and white eyes, very smart, and her eyes were full of curiosity and naughtiness, as well as sympathy and enthusiasm for not hesitating.
Shen Yi looked over and was quite surprised to see Hua Susu, his eyes stayed on Hua Susu's face for a moment, smiled slightly, and nodded.
Hua Susu was in a hurry for a while, and called Shen Yi loudly, only then did he feel abrupt and blush, but his eyes flashed, and he was really surprised.
After returning from the desert, she and Liu Qingyun returned to Lihuazhuang together, thinking that after a long time, she would naturally forget those things and that person. didn't think about it, that person seemed to have been deeply engraved in my heart, and the more I tried to forget, the more I couldn't forget. Day after day, her memory of Shen Yi not only did not fade, but became clearer. She was so frightened by her clinging thoughts that she sat restless all day, like a person who had lost her soul, and she didn't know what to do. She couldn't bear such days anymore, so she decided to go out to visit her friends, and she forgot about her feelings, but who knew that she met Shen Yi again.
She was ashamed and happy, but her eyes never left Shen Yi for a moment, seeing him looking at her and recognizing herself, her cheeks were even hotter, and she was so happy that she almost fainted. Thinking about it afterwards, she herself felt incredible, it turned out that a person has a deep affection, and he can really forget himself, just a lover's most ordinary eyes, and she can be excited and tossed.
Shen Yi walked into the hall and his gaze swept over. Everyone in the hall felt that his clear and bright eyes saw him, and suddenly it was like a breeze, warm and kind, and there was an indescribable majesty. What's even more strange is that no matter who he sees, whether it is a noble person or a weak and cowardly person, he does not change the sympathy and respect in his eyes, and there is neither admiration nor contempt on his face, and he is always the same gentleness and humility.
Everyone unconsciously closed their mouths, and the hall was suddenly so quiet that they could breathe.
Zhu Tianwei smiled and introduced the guests at the main table to Shen Yi one by one, and sure enough, all of them were his close relatives and friends. Since the main seat of Zhu Tianwei, the first one on the left hand is Bai Qingfeng, the owner of the village on the right peak of Yuwu Mountain. Bai Qingfeng is the same age as Zhu Tianwei, not tall, and his body is not strong, but he is very capable. He has always been cold-faced and cold-spoken, alone, except for wishing Tianwei, he never likes to have deep friendships with people.
The first of Zhu Tianwei's right hand is his wife, who is also Bai Qingfeng's second sister Bai Qingyun. Xiuhuangzhai and Zhujiazhuang have been friends for generations, and when it comes to Bai Qingfeng and Zhu Tianwei's generation, they regard each other as their only confidants, not only close to each other like brothers, but also married as children and daughters.
Under Bai Qingyun is Bai Xinyu, the third lady of the Bai family, and next to Bai Xinyu is Hua Susu. Hua Susu was originally an outsider, but because the two heroes of Lihuazhuang were friends with Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingfeng, and she herself was Bai Xinyu's close friend, she was also at the main table.
Although Zhu Tianwei is hospitable and good at making friends, there are only a few people who can get him very close and trusted.
Zhu Tianwei introduced Shen Yi to everyone again, except for Hua Susu, who was very happy, everyone also politely hugged their fists as a salute.
Zhu Tianwei repeatedly invited Shen Yi to sit in the seat, where Shen Yi was willing, pushed a few times, and sat down under the white breeze.
After some hectic commotion, everyone sat down again. Zhu Tianwei first poured a full glass of wine for Shen Yi, and then filled a glass for everyone one by one, and then raised a glass to greet the guests inside and outside the hall.
Bai Qingfeng raised his glass and took a sip, then put down the wine glass. He was almost expressionless on his face, his arms were folded in front of his chest, and his slender eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was not interested in everything around him, but occasionally his eyelids were raised, and his eyes were shining, and he seemed to see every word and deed around him.
Bai Qingyun originally put his hands under the table, lowered his eyes, and when he heard Zhu Tianwei's persuasion to drink, he hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of him with both hands, raised his head and drank it all. The wine was drunk too quickly, she couldn't help coughing a few times, and hurriedly put down the wine glass, covered her mouth with her hand, and forced patience. As soon as the cough subsided, she hid her hands under the table again, as if not wanting to notice that her hands were shaking. Her face was swollen, ruining her beautiful appearance, a pair of bloodshot eyes were always a little frightened, sneaking a glance on the left, and sneaking a glance on the right, like a small animal that had been frightened for a long time, always on high alert, and like a child who had been bullied, for fear that she would do something wrong and say the wrong word.
In contrast, Bai Xinyu, the third lady of the Bai family, was down-to-earth and generous, behaving decently, like a fresh camellia in full bloom, young and beautiful, healthy and happy.
Bai Xinyu slowly raised the wine glass, took a sip of wine carefully, swallowed it slowly, looked Shen Yi up and down carefully with beautiful eyes, and then turned sideways, approached Hua Susu's ear, and said softly: "This Jiangnan hero, no wonder you think about it, it is really a man who is very energetic and capable." ”
Hua Susu was shocked, for fear of being heard by Shen Yi or others, so he had the heart to cover Xinyu's mouth, but his hands and feet suddenly became numb, and he couldn't move, so he had to force his composure, pretending not to hear anything, and his cheeks were already as red as the morning glow.
Bai Xinyu saw Hua Susu's expression in his eyes, pursed his lips and wanted to smile, but his eyes turned, he looked at the eldest brother opposite, and then looked at the second sister beside him, and suddenly several thoughts came to him, and he sighed softly.
Hua Susu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at people, she heard Bai Xinyu's strange sigh in her ears, she couldn't help but be curious, and asked in a low voice, "What are you sighing again?"
Bai Xinyu didn't answer, slowly raised the wine glass, slowly brought it to his mouth, slowly took a small sip, and then swallowed it slowly.
Hua Susu looked at her without blinking, Miss Bai Er's sip of wine was enough for her to drink ten glasses. It's just that she has known Bai Xinyu for a long time and understands his temperament, although she is anxious, she still forces herself to wait patiently. She laughed secretly in her heart, this Bai Xinyu has to do everything slower than ordinary people, even if she fights with people with a sword, she is not slow at all, fortunately, her marriage with her second brother Hua Yuhui has not been negotiated, otherwise one of these two is too slow, and the other is too anxious.
Bai Xinyu slowly put down the wine glass, slowly straightened the wine glass, and then slowly spoke: "I sighed, it was for the second sister, but I pity her for her softness and weakness, and she ruined the happiness of her life in vain." ”
Hua Susu turned his head to look at Bai Qingyun and asked, "Why did you lose your happiness in vain?"
Bai Xinyu slowly raised his eyes to look at her, and said slowly: "It's naturally good to kiss and kiss, but it's best to be happy with each other." ”
Hua Susu listened, looked at Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingyun, and sure enough, seeing that the attitude between them was cold, one lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to raise his eyes, and the other raised his head and didn't look at it, so he asked, "Since you are not happy, why do you want to get married?"
Bai Xinyu still spoke slowly, but he couldn't suppress the worry in his tone, "Brother Zhu is not here, but he just wants to find a woman to take in the room and pass on the heirs, of course, it is the most reliable to find the daughter of our Bai family nearby." It's just that my second sister was unwilling, but she didn't dare to disobey her eldest brother, so she had to marry aggrieved. That is, my second sister is so well handled, if I am replaced, it doesn't matter if he is the best of the family, or the eldest brother is in charge, even if he fights for his life, he will not agree. ”
Hua Susu chuckled and said, "Listening to what you said, if you didn't have your own opinions, wouldn't you have also become my second sister-in-law?"
Bai Xinyu smiled, and the smile slowly spread from the corner of her mouth, as if there was really no one in this world who could make her anxious, and said, "Hmph, of course I am different from the second sister." When I heard that my eldest brother said that I wanted to marry your Hua family, I immediately rushed to your house, but I wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of outstanding person that famous Hua Erxia was. ”
Hua Susu said: "Who knew that when I visited Washington at night, I found that the so-called second child of the Hua family was just a big straw bale......
She and Bai Xinyu knew each other, although the other party didn't take a fancy to her brother, she didn't care.
Bai Xinyu squinted at her, and said slowly: "I didn't take a fancy to your second brother, but it's not because he is a straw bag, if the dignified Fahrenheit Shuangxia are all straw bags, then how many men in this world are not straw bags?"
Hua Susu heard her say that she was funny, and then laughed happily, and suddenly her heart moved, and she secretly thought to herself: "Even if all men in the world are straw bales, I'm afraid that person is not." ”
She touched her heart and smiled.
Bai Xinyu said slowly: "In the eyes of women, whether a man is a straw bag or not is not how capable he is or how famous he is, but whether this man can really stay in your heart." ”
When Hua Susu heard this, he felt as if he had said it specifically for himself, and thought to himself: "Yes, even if that person is not a Jiangnan hero, don't I also think about him?" but...... If he really wasn't that Jiangnan hero Shen Yi, would I still be so uneasy?"
Bai Xinyu then said slowly: "So, even if I wish my eldest brother to be heroic and talented, my second sister is only afraid that he will succumb to him, but she has never been sincere. Similarly, even if Hua Erxia is famous, I ......"
Bai Xinyu suddenly stopped talking, but Hua Susu already understood, thinking about his own thoughts, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. She peeked at Shen Yi, and saw that although his expression was as calm and gentle as ever, his face was a little pale and haggard, and she only felt that her heart was even more chaotic.
