Chapter 197
He Yan is not in a hurry.
These days, in addition to meeting he Yunsheng in secret, she spent several days at the door of "he family". I don't know if it is because of he Rufei's relationship that the number of guards outside the gate of he's house is more than double. He Yan is not good at exposing himself, so he can only observe in the dark. He Rufei did nothing except go to court every day. Most of his social intercourse with his colleagues was a restaurant, and he never took people home. In addition, he also went to the Xu family once, holding the so-called tonic for visiting his cousin, but did he really visit he Xinying? He Yan doesn't think so.
But in the eyes of outsiders, he Rufei's move just shows that he has a close relationship with his sister. It is even rumored that he ruufei took care of this sister more carefully because of the accident of the former great grandmother Xu. In the end, he Rufei gave him a good name.
He Yan only thought it was a little funny, and he thought that the way he family played was really endless.
Autumn has come, and the summer's heat is gone. This day, he Yan just came back from outside the house, and unexpectedly found that the courtyard was full of excitement. She left early in the morning. She didn't know what had happened, but Baiguo came over happily and said in a low voice, "granny is entertaining guests in the yard. Young master, you can also freshen up and have a look." She approached a little more and said mysteriously, "there are many young ladies coming today, and the second young master is also there."
She was so young that she did not speak with shame, but with childlike innocence. But this word falls in He Yan's ear, is really not very pleasant to hear.
Bai Rongwei told her earlier that she wanted to hold a banquet before the Mid Autumn Festival. On the surface, it was a banquet for Madame, but in fact it was a matchmaker for Xiao Jue. She didn't expect to move so fast. He Yan thought that Xiao Jue came back late every day. Sometimes she fell asleep and Xiao Jue didn't come back. But today, a girl came back so early. Oh, what a coincidence.
White fruit sees he Yan silence, way: "childe?"
He Yan came back to his senses and reluctantly said with a smile, "I won't go. I've been out all day today. I'm really tired. I want to go back to my room and have a rest."
Baiguo: "can..." She noticed that he Yan was in a bad mood and felt strange for a moment. He is mild-natured and has no shelf. He will take the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Sometimes, when he sees her greedy, he will secretly leave the snacks in the meal to her. Baiguo thought that the master she had met, besides the eldest young master and his wife, was the best. But today is almost plainly will not be happy to write on the face, at least also when these days of the master and servant, Baiguo thought, is not outside the aggrieved?
Before she knew it, she saw he Yan walking down the corridor.
He Yan thought like this. He could not see his eyes. However, there was a pavilion outside the corridor. Bai Rongwei saw him and called him: "he Gongzi!"
If this pretended not to hear, also too deliberately some, he Yan had to be forced to turn around, looked at white Rong and said with a smile: "Granny Xiao."
"Bai Rong Wei got up and went to her head," I was just asking Huaijin, when will you come back, I'm afraid you won't catch up with today's autumn banquet. You happen to come, and we haven't started yet. "
The host is very kind. It's not very polite to leave at this time. He Yan had to go over and salute her, "Granny has a heart."
Xiao's house was renovated according to his wife's preference when he was alive. And Xiao Jue's grandmother is from Suzhou, so the courtyard of Xiao's family in shuojing looks very elegant and chic. Bai Rong Wei did not have many guests at the banquet. There were only four or five of them. I don't know whether they were her friends or what. However, the four girls sitting there were beautiful and charming.
Xiao Jue sits beside Xiao Jing. Their two brothers are the famous beautiful men in the great Wei Dynasty. They reflect the courtyard like a fairyland.
In the Wei Dynasty, men and women should guard against each other, and the rule that men and women should have different seats at the age of seven was abolished shortly after Emperor Wen Xuan ascended the throne. Emperor Wenxuan longed for the free and easy manner of the famous men in the past, and thought that he was not rigidly bound by the old etiquette. Therefore, the Wei Dynasty was not as strict with unmarried men and women as before.
Bai Rong explained with a smile to the rest of the banquet, "this is Mr. He, a good friend of Huaijin. He has been granted Wu'an Lang by his majesty when he is young." She told her servants to add a bowl and chopsticks to Heyan, but somehow it was placed beside Xiao Jing. Bai Rongwei sat down beside a round faced lady and said to Heyan, "today, we have invited some friends to taste the newly made chrysanthemum cake. We should treat it as an ordinary family dinner. Don't be polite, just be casual."
In spite of this, in addition to the Xiao Jing couple and the older wives, there are also Xiao Jue who is indifferent. The rest of them are not really casual.Heyan sits beside Xiao Jing and looks at Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue sits on the other side of Xiao Jing. He seldom moves chopsticks. More often than not, he just sits. Although the cover is very good, he looks carefully, and there is a hidden impatience between his eyebrows.
Those girls were different. They sat on the long table opposite Xiao Jue. They were more timid. They just glanced at Xiao Jue with Yu Guang if there was any, and their love could not be ignored. Bolder, is directly staring at Xiao Jue, a pair of beautiful eyes rippling admiration, can make people bone crisp half.
Good fellow, he Yan thought in his heart that Bai Rongwei knew Xiao Jue didn't like Shen muxue. However, the four girls they found were not as cold and arrogant as Shen muxue. However, their looks were similar to Shen muxue. She had already wanted to lift the table and walk away. If the snow was here at dusk, she would be angry.
However, although the heart thinks like this, on the surface, it can't show like this. He Yan bowed his head to eat. At this time, he did not say anything about food or sleep. It was just that there were four beautiful girls in front of him.
The meal was very embarrassing.
Not only is He Yan embarrassed, eat to the end, even Xiao Jing and Bai Rong Wei are some can not resist. After all, although Xiao Jue's character is not as gentle as Xiao Jing's, her face is still very attractive. Xiao Jing is married, and the four girls are all looking at Xiao Jue.
They are all noble girls raised in shuojing, and they know etiquette very well. However, in addition to understanding etiquette, the four people will still find something to say to Xiao Jue, such as "does young master Xiao Er like autumn days", "what do you do on weekdays", "whether you have been staying in shuojing since then" and so on.
It's not a word to answer. Many times, it is Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing who come out to supplement.
He Yan was very happy in his heart, but he thought he was bored. He was so happy for this kind of thing. Was he in the evil?
Night is coming, Xi Bi, the ladies and Xiao Jing husband and wife farewell, Heyan and Xiao Jue stand on one side. The four girls looked at Xiao Jue with reluctant eyes. A more daring young lady looked at Xiao Jue and asked with a smile: "when young master Xiao ER was in the hunting ground, his demeanor was unmatched. After that, when he was free, could he compete with my daughter in archery?"
Xiao Jue looks at her without expression for a long time, pulled a corner of the mouth, "I have a habit of learning."
The girl has some expectations.
"Don't talk about life and death."
"Cough, cough --" Xiao Jing interposed in time and said with a smile, "Huaijin is joking. He likes to laugh."
However, as soon as the words were spoken, the girl's mother's face changed greatly, and she took her daughter away.
Bai Rongwei was very angry and funny. After he left, he said to Xiao Jue, "you child, how can you still be the same as before. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why should you deliberately frighten others. Miss Tian has also learned martial arts. She has a cheerful and natural disposition. I can see it very well. "
Seeing that Xiao Jue didn't speak, Bai Rongwei said again, "what about Miss Li? It's the one who just sat opposite you. She's soft and weak. She's good at writing, and she's very quiet and gentle
Xiao Jue did not speak.
When Bai Rongwei raised his eyes and saw Heyan, he asked him, "Mr. He has also seen four young ladies today. Would you like to make a comment?"
He Yan said:
What does this have to do with her? It's a natural disaster. However, in front of several people, he Yan had to ask himself and slowly opened his mouth, "the four ladies are all very good, and their temperament and appearance are first-class outstanding. If anyone marries them, they are all the blessings of the previous life..."
Most of all, Xiao Jue's friends affirmed him. Bai Rongwei felt that he had got half of Xiao Jue's affirmation. He said, "Huaijin, you see, even Mr. He feels good..."
Xiao Jue suddenly opened her mouth, and her voice was quiet, "sister-in-law thinks it's good. Why don't you come back and give it to elder brother. They should and won't feel aggrieved by their big brother's temperament and appearance. "
This is mean, always gentle Xiao Jing can not help but voice warning, "Xiao Huaijin!"
Xiao Jue didn't move. She glanced at Xiao Jing and said, "brother, you can think about what you did when your mother wanted to choose your wife. Don't do to others what you don't want to do to others. Elder brother should know better than me Say, also regardless of Xiao Jing and Bai Rong Wei is what reaction, brush off.
He Yan stood here, inexplicably embarrassed. He explained in a low voice for Xiao Jue: "the governor may be in a bad mood today. Don't worry about it."
"I didn't care." Bai Rong was stunned for a while, as if he had just returned to God and looked at his husband, "but Huaijin was just Angry? "
Even though outsiders have rumors about the inhumanity and unkindness of the commander-in-chief of the right army in military training, few people have ever seen Xiao Jue lose his temper in the mansion. More often than not, he just doesn't care. In this way, it seems that it has been many years ago to write the four words "I am angry" on my face.
"I have done this before. Why this time So angry? " She did not understand.
… ...
someone knocked at the door.Once a while, it is very well measured and indomitable. Even if the people inside are not willing to pay attention to it, the people outside are not discouraged. There is a great sense that if you don't open the door, you'll knock on the end of the earth.
In the whole yard, only the heroine could have such courage at this time.
Xiao Jue paused and said, "come in."
He Yan's head comes in from behind the door.
She also knew that Xiao Jue was in a bad mood. She had a flattering smile on her face. She closed the door behind the door and came forward, "governor, are you ok?"
Xiao Jue sat on the chair, "very good."
His face didn't look "very good.".
What he said with Bai Rongwei just now is a little too much. However, he Yan was very happy when he heard that. She just scolded herself secretly in her heart. How could she do this? There was a conflict between her family members. She, an outsider, cheered here for a little selfishness. What's the difference between her and those villains? Living here these days, Bai Rongwei takes care of her a lot. She should help to make peace instead of adding fuel to the fire.
He Yan Ran to his opposite side, half body lying on the table, looking at him, "governor, big grandmother Xiao is also a kind hearted, you just did that, a little hurt people."
Xiao Jue's eyes moved to her face. Her eyes were cool. "Miss heta, what do you think I should do?"
He called the name "miss heta" many times. Sometimes it was joking, sometimes it was mean. But now, this sentence was cold and even a little angry.
He Yan carefully considered the sentence, "at least, you should be euphemistic."
Xiao Jue sneered, "by what."
He Yan choked.
"Would it be euphemistic to be miss heta?" He spoke abruptly.
He Yan did not understand, "I am a woman."
"If your father and brother, as they are today, find some young masters with outstanding appearance and temperament to come to you," he said sarcastically, "wouldn't you refuse directly?"
He Yan thought that if she had been in the past, she would have been polite in order to take care of everyone's faces. But now, she has a favorite people, and then reluctantly up, some can not.
It's just that this can't be said to Xiao Jue, but the person in front of her doesn't pay attention to her evasion and evasion, stares at her directly, and asks again, "miss heta, what should you do?"
On his eyes, he Yan could not speak without conscience. He held back for a long time and patted the table, "I thought for a moment. If it was me, I would make the same choice as the governor. Maybe it would be worse to speak. Governor, you're right. You're right! Refuse if you don't like it. There's no need to give people wrong hints. Sometimes politeness and politeness in each other's place become provocative, provocative people can't sleep at night, but they don't have that meaning at all, isn't it cheating? "
At the end of the speech, the tone took a bit of complaint, and I didn't know who he was talking about.
Xiao Jue see her indignant appearance, facial expression relaxed a few minutes, hook hook lip, "calculate you have a little consciousness."
He Yan saw that he was in a better mood, so he took out a sachet from his sleeve and gave it to him, "this is for you."
Xiao Jue took over and looked up and said, "did you do it?"
"How could it be?" He Yan didn't want to return, "where can I do this? It's grandma Xiao. I also made one for me. I forgot to give it to you She took out her cloud shaped sachet again. "I heard that there were concentrated herbs and amulets in it."
She saw Xiao Jue holding the sachet and did not speak, and then came closer: "I didn't expect that Granny Xiao would prepare for me. The governor, Granny Xiao is gentle and kind and devoted to your consideration. Although the way It's not quite to your liking, but this kind of thing, you should make it clear with her. There's no need to hurt your friendship. Why should the family care so much... "
She chattered on and on, her head getting closer and closer. Xiao Jue laughed and bent her fingers against her head and pushed back, "stop, I'm not angry."
At first, I was angry, but it was not because Bai Rongwei This person also does not know what, he has some helplessness in his heart, is angry to a person who does not know, this anger, is destined to be unable to vent out.
"Really?" He Yan looked at him.
"Really." He drooped his eyes and thought of something. After a while, he said, "I will go out of the city these days. You can stay here alone?"
He Yan one Zheng, "need I help?"
Xiao Jue goes out early and returns late these days. Heyan can also perceive that he has something urgent to do. I think it's all about Xu Jingfu and Xiao Zhongwu. Although she is also busy with the affairs of the he family and the Xu family, if Xiao Jue needs her, he Yan will not refuse.
"No, I can do it myself."
He Yan nodded, "when will you come back?"
"I don't know," Xiao Jue looked at the burning wick, "as far as possible before the Mid Autumn Festival."
……
In the residence of Xu Xiang in the capital, the lights are bright at the moment.
Xu Xiang was a literati. He usually held banquets at home and didn't like women dancing. At most, he found two zither players to play. A few days ago, Chu Zhao knelt down and looked at the tea cup in front of him. The heat rising from the tea cup was like a layer of gauze, which covered his expression and made his face not very real.Xu Jingfu didn't like drinking, he only drank tea. People who come to the Xu family to give gifts also know what they like. Even the tea that is given to the servants can be sold at a good price.
People stood on both sides, respectfully. Xu Jingfu had no son, and everyone in Xu's family knew that Xu Jingfu regarded this student as his own son. And Xu pingting, Xu Jingfu's only daughter, has a deep love for Chu Zilan Sooner or later, teachers and students will become Weng son-in-law.
"This time you went to Jiyang, things went well." Xu Jingfu said with a smile that when he was young, he was handsome and gentle. When he got older, he was kind-hearted. Just looking at his appearance, he only felt that he was an old man who was easy to feel kind. He took a sip of tea and then said, "but why do you stay a few more days in Rundu?"
Chu Zhao replied in a warm voice: "the people in Rundu are starving and suffering. Zi Lan can't bear to leave alone. He wanted to stay in Rundu to help. He wanted to ask for reinforcements. Unexpectedly, general Yan led his troops to help Rundu and solved the urgent need of Rundu."
A little inquiry into these matters shows that he did not lie. Xu Jingfu was still smiling kindly. He did not say that he was right, nor did he say that he was wrong.
The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.
In the standoff, suddenly, a woman's voice came: "Dad! Why don't you call me when brother Zilan is here? " The next moment, a yellow skirt girl flew in like a flower and sat down beside Chu Zilan.
The girl was born very beautiful. She was as delicate as a doll made of white porcelain. However, she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and her clothes and jewelry were rich and expensive. The ruby and gold hairpin in her bun made her more and more beautiful like a rose.
This is Xu Jingfu's only daughter, Xu pingting.
Xu Jingfu got such a pearl in her eyes when she was old. She was almost spoiled by her. Today's princess is not as particular as Xu pingting. As soon as Xu pingting arrived at the banquet hall, the atmosphere suddenly eased down. Xu Jingfu shook his head and laughed. "When you come to the banquet hall, you start a teacher to investigate crimes. You don't even pay attention to being a father. Others say that girls are outgoing. It's really..."
On hearing this, Xu pingting, instead of being embarrassed, raised her eyebrows and said, "I see my father every day, but I haven't seen brother Zilan for a long time. Dad, can you please don't let brother Zilan go too far from Beijing next time?" She naturally took Chu Zhao's arm and looked at him and said, "brother Zilan, pingting was scared to death when she heard you go to Jiyang. How could father do this? Fortunately, you are OK. When you are not here, pingting prays for your safe return in front of Bodhisattva every day. It seems that Bodhisattva has heard pingting's prayer and protects you."
Xu Jingfu said bitterly, "I haven't seen you praying for my father."
"Dad
"All right, little ancestor, can I stop talking?" Xu Jingfu said, looking at Chu Zhao, "however, Zi Lan came just in time. I just have something to say."
Chu Zilan looked at Xu Jingfu, "teacher, please speak."
"I've heard that Xiao Rubi's wife has invited some young ladies from her colleagues' house to visit Xiao's house today. She said she was a guest, but she was just choosing a wife for Xiao Huaijin. You and Xiao Huaijin are about the same age. Since I am your teacher, I should worry about these things for you
Xu pingting was stunned. Her face turned red and said, "Dad, you are..."
"Now you know how shy you are?" Xu Jingfu laughed and joked, and then said, "Zilan, you are my best student. You grew up together with Ping ting and grew up in childhood. I planned to marry Ping ting to you when you grew up. Now, it's the time. What do you think? "
All the servants in the hall buried their heads and covered their hearts. Although they had known that there would be such a day, when they really heard about it, they would inevitably feel surprised. After all, as Chu Zhao, he married Xu Xiang's daughter.
Chu Zhao stood up, lifted the corner of his robe, knelt down to Xu Jingfu upright, and bowed down to Xu Jingfu.
"Students thank their teachers for their love. It is a blessing for them to marry Ping ting. Marriage is up to the teacher. "
