In the study, Xu Hao asked his eldest son Xu Ye: "What kind of friends did your brother invite?" ”

Xu Ye said: "Most of them are serious people, but there are a few prodigals who don't learn and don't know how to do it, but they are all relatives of our family. The son asked just now, but fortunately, the infamous Gui Burong and Wu Dasha are not there. ”

"Honorable?" Xu Hao seems to have heard of anyone who said this name.

Xu Ye hurriedly said: "This person is originally from Jiangxi, and like Xu Hui and others, he is from Jinling, and he was admitted to Xiucai in his hometown. It is said that he was very romantic when he was young, there were many secret things in his life, his family was wealthy, his father was a big businessman, and he studied hard in middle age, and now he is enjoying his old age in his hometown. ”

"I remember." Xu Hao nodded and said, "Isn't it Feng Pei's father-in-law Gui Xiucai?" Zhiqing said that when she returned home, I admired my father, who was dedicated to business and made a fortune before middle age, and after middle age, he could still be admitted to the exam. Jay! ”

"Yes." Xu Ye smiled bitterly: "But my aunt has looked away, Gui Burong has not returned in Beijing for eight years, and I don't know how much money has been wasted." The most despicable thing is that he obviously has a wife room in his hometown, and after taking his daughter and giving it to Feng Pei, he actually lied and broke the strings, married Wu Dasha's sister, and felt that it was not in his liking, so he married Ye Maolin's daughter as a deputy room and lived in the south of the city. ”

"And this?" Xu Hao was a little stunned, the character of the unhonored person was too bad, he disliked his wife, he disliked the junior, and he lived alone with the junior, he was a bad man.

"And that's not all." Xu Ye has taken over the secret spy system from his father in the past few years, mainly for people and things related to the entire family, and he also knows a lot about irrelevant people. Because the third brother was young and didn't like to associate with Gui Burong and others, he didn't say anything.

"When the daughter of the Ye family is at home, she is restless and likes to travel. In the past two years, she and Gui Burong have squandered a lot, and they are so angry that they don't support people anymore, and both husband and wife are impatient with poverty. So that those old friends gradually moved around. Although Gui Burong was angry when he learned about it, he later coveted the silver earned by the Ye family, and he was willing to be the eighth king, and hired a guy at home, which Shilin despised for a long time. ”

Xu Hao shook his head and said, "Sven scum, it seems that this person has long died of the imperial examination. Otherwise, Xiucai's identity would have been lost. ”

At the same time, Feng Pei and Master Xia were singing on stage, and they were all commenting below, Xu Xuan thought that they sang well, which was beyond the ability of ordinary actors.

It's over. When the two stepped down, Feng Pei pointed at Xu Zhu and scolded: "You don't know how to do it, I worked stage, and you fell there to criticize me with gossip." ”

"Nope!" Xu Zhu suddenly shouted again and again, "How long did I criticize you?" Are you blind? I'm gossiping with Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Zhongyu hurriedly said: "It's really gossip, besides, you sing so beautifully, who doesn't praise it?" What else is there to comment? ”

Xu Xuan smiled and said, "I heard them say that you really look like a princess of Shanyin." If you take the form of a woman, you must be restless. ”

"Phew!" Feng Pei said angrily: "Okay! You forced me to come to power, and you came to make fun of me? ”

The people here laughed and cursed. Xu Run, who was over there, said to Master Xia: "Mr. Xia's music is really exquisite, I hope to ask for advice in the future, if you have time, you can come to my house for a walk." ”

Master Xia smiled: "I was taught by no teacher, and I listened to the meeting, even if it was the first time I went on stage." Don't laugh. ”

Next, a group of people sang and laughed, guessing the boxing order. Suddenly, Xu Run realized that Qin Yan was missing. I saw a few maids leaning on each other and looking tired.

told Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan asked Qin Yan where he went? Hu Sheng replied: "She is not happy. Slept. ”

It turned out that Qin Yan was already in a bad mood, and saw Feng Pei and Master Xia playing together. I looked down on them in my eyes, so I went back to my illness.

Someone wanted to listen to the famous piano Yan singing, Xu Xuan called someone to call her over, and said: "You are sick, you don't have to sing, why don't you play the piano for us, and Su Lan will blow the flute, and come to a song of Pingsha and Falling Geese." ”

Qin had no choice but to sit down to pick the strings and test the sound, and Su Lan also picked up the flute. Soon the sound of the piano sounded, Qin Yan was in a bad mood, and his hands were also raw, and he barely finished playing it jerkily, and Su Lan's hole flute was blown well.

Xu Xuan said: "The sound of the piano is not good, but the sound of the flute is good." ”

Xu Run hurriedly said: "The piano is difficult to learn, so I think it's good." ”

Master Xia, who was naturally keen on music and rhythm, was thoughtful and asked, "It seems that you don't play for a long time, so you are rusty, aren't you?" ”

"Hmm." Qin Yan nodded slightly, "I haven't studied for half a year, and I can barely think of the second sentence of the fourth paragraph." Sister Su Lan's flute is better than before. ”

"I learned it from a teacher." Su Lan smiled: "I will blow it every other day, so I won't give birth." ”

Looking at the radiant Sister Su Lan, Qin Yan was silent, thinking that she had shocked the four people with a song outside, compared with the current caged birds, she was very emotional, almost burst into tears, and hurriedly retreated to the back. Xu Run, Xu Zhu and others couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Suddenly, the big guy's eyes lit up, and he saw a pair of beautiful maids coming over, no matter how beautiful they were, they were no less beautiful than famous ladies.

Hu Sheng explained in a low voice: "The one who wears red is the smoke next to the second young master, and the one who wears purple is Sister Chunyan next to Princess Deqing." ”

"Oh!" A group of men are both appreciative and envious, and out of the common psychological problems of men, people's daughters-in-law are always the best.

"Is there something wrong?" Xu Xuan stood up and asked, he didn't dare to snub Chunyan who was a guest at home.

Chunyan walked over and smiled, gave a salute, raised her head and said coquettishly: "The girls are having fun tonight, and they want twelve kinds of fruit wine or flower dew made in a year." Because it was too short, he sent me over to ask the third son. ”

Twelve kinds of flower wine? For a while, all the men thought about it, and invariably, a moving picture flashed in their minds: in the warm pavilion, a group of charming daughters were guessing and eating wine, making all kinds of heart-warming coquettish attitudes, chasing and fighting, chanting poems and making the moon; Tired, or undressed to relieve fever or sleep anywhere, or raise a glass to invite the moon, or bow your head and chant poetry, the wonderful delicate body, smooth and slender legs, soft and white arms, etc., etc., really think about it and be pleasing to the eye, I can't wait to incarnate as the second son of Xu who is glamorous.

At the same time, everyone is curious, twelve kinds of fruit wine? Unusual!

Xu Xuan asked, "What's missing?" ”

"We have nine kinds of white rose dew, cherry dew, grape dew, fresh lychee dew, pear dew, peach dew, almond dew, kumquat and rose dew, which sister remembers the difference?" ”

Baozhu, who was standing beside Xu Xuan, immediately said: "I have untouched white lotus dew and begonia honey brewing, and by the way, apple brewing." ”

"Great." Chunyan gestured to the people present and said with a smile: "Now you can go back to the errand." Ask the second son for a reward. ”

Xu Xuan said happily: "Yes, you and Qin Yan will send the treasure beads over, and the two sisters will not be affected." ”

Under the gaze of the men, Chunyan and Xuan Yan thanked him and turned away. Xu Zhu said abruptly: "One girl is better than ten Qin Yan, you should also wake up." ”

Xu Run smiled bitterly: "I'm engaged, and I don't dare to worry about Qin Yan." ”

Shan said that Baozhu led Qin Yan to hold three bottles of wine, and on the way Qin Yan asked worriedly: "How are the girls?" I'm afraid of being scolded. ”

"Don't be afraid." Baozhu led her straight to the suspension bridge, "There is no need for us to wait, just take this opportunity to stay there and rest, and eat something by the way, so as to save yourself from facing a group of old and young masters, like a prostitute." ”

The speaker was unintentional, and Qin Yan's face turned red, but fortunately, he couldn't see it at night. Baozhu continued with a river in his mouth: "Our young master is young and has a strange temperament, he doesn't understand amorous feelings, and there is no laughter in the house all day long. In the past, the girls were all here, and the sisters could walk around and play when they were close, and they were not afraid of loneliness. Who knew that they all moved over, and there were few people in Zhengyuan. It's good now, just a few of us moved to the new garden, and it's so empty that we don't even hear people's voices! How can it compare to the second young master's Yisu Garden? Not to mention the good temperament of the second young master, alas! I was almost pointed out back then, and I cheapened the Bixiao sisters. ”

"Sister Bixiao?" Qin Yan seems to have heard people mention it.

"Bixiao is a sick man, and thanks to the second young master, he will get 1,800 taels of silver every year for medicine alone. You said that apart from the Xu family, who can be so good to a girl? ”

In the dark night, Baozhu seemed to be proud, and Qin Yan couldn't help but secretly break his heart. I heard Baozhu say again: "Bixiao is also a good strong, originally needlework couldn't catch up with me, in order not to let people scold her for eating white food, I practiced hard, and my favorite poems, calligraphy and paintings were never touched again, and now no one can compare with needlework and thread, and all the clothes of the second young master are sewn by her own hands, so that no one has anything to say." If you want to say that her sister Qingyun, now that she has changed her name to Qingyan, she is also a fighter, but she has become the personal big girl of the second master from the third-class girl, who dares to talk more now? According to me, it's still their old sons and mothers, not only giving them a good look, but also being shrewd and superhuman everywhere, and they can't be envious. ”

"Oh." Qin Yan listened quietly, and said in her heart, so what? Left and right are nothing more than an aunt.

At this time, Baozhu glanced at her and said, "For example, you are good everywhere, but your temperament is too cold, and your life is not good." But as long as you follow the young master's temper and learn to talk more will coax people, why don't you be alone in a corner and no one cares? ”

Qin Yan's eyes turned red, and then he smiled bitterly, and said quietly: "Instead of flattering men with hollow thoughts, why should I come in?" ”

Baozhu said disdainfully: "Didn't I say that I want you to do something shameless?" The Xu family pays attention to the love and will, and if you give the young master 10,000 guts, he will not dare to force you. Laugh at! Well, even if you are wronged to serve with your body, it is better than your arms and pillows outside, right? ”

"Is there a difference?" Qin Yan smiled more and more bitterly.

"How is there no difference?" Baozhu stopped, the suspension bridge in front of him was very scary, and the night wind was howling, so he didn't dare to go, "After all, you don't like the young master, so that's it, live in peace for a few years, and I'm afraid that I won't have a good home?" Feed! Auntie, it's too scary for you to come with us. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Qin Yan had walked on the bridge fearlessly, the bridge deck blown by the night wind swayed, and she was like a light boat on the rolling river, which made people tremble when they looked at it.

The two mothers-in-law on duty at night asked, "Obediently, whose daughter is this girl?" What a lot of guts. (To be continued) R580
