Chapter 20 Booing, Drinking, Rouge
Aunt Fang said: "After all, she is a little girl. If she is not diagnosed and treated in time, it will not be good if there is a scar on her head."

"That's right." Yunxi nodded in agreement, and muttered, "That girl Luqi is always messy in doing things, and I don't know when she will get rid of her stupidity."

Aunt Fang smiled and patted her hand lightly.

The two returned to the table together.

Mrs. Xie saw that it took them a long time to return, and when she asked about it, she said the same thing.

"It looks brighter." After listening to Mrs. Xie, she pulled Yunxi to her side, looked at her with a smile and said, "Little girl is like this, that's how it should be."

Yun Xi didn't speak, she lowered her eyes and smiled slightly.

Mrs. Xie said again: "Okay, don't all of you gather here to watch a play with me, an old lady, because you're so bored, go and play by yourself!"

She looked at the other side of the waterside pavilion, "I just heard from the little girl below that your two elder brothers are drinking and ordering. You also go and have a look and see which one wins, and come back and tell me."

Mrs. Xie's words were plain, and Xie Shuang understood that she was trying to match her with Brother Xu's family.

So he smiled knowingly, and immediately pulled Yunxi to go over.

Yun Xi was originally unwilling, but couldn't make trouble with the young girls next to him who were also booing, so he had to go with them.

Xie Heng has not yet returned to the table, only Xie Jue is at the waterside pavilion.

Aunt Fang had already sent someone a secret message, and he thought it was a mistake, and seeing that her expression was as usual, he was even more relieved.

Several people exchanged greetings, Xu Zhijian walked over with the wine cup, smiled and said to Xie Shuang: "Your elder brother is the host today, why did you leave us guests and go away on your own? You went to see the old lady later, but You have to properly sue him for us."

Knowing that he was joking, Xie Shuang nodded with a smile, and asked him, "Where did big brother go?"

"It is said that the wind has gone." Xu Zhijian smiled, "I don't know what kind of wind it is, but it hasn't come yet."

He put down the wine cup casually, and looked sideways at Yun Xi, and saw a pearl hairpin pinned to her temple, trembling in the sunlight, it was really pretty.

"Sister Yuan." He called her aloud, "Next month, the [-]th academy is on vacation. The few of us have made an appointment to go for a horseback ride in the village outside the city. Will my sister come too?"

Before Yunxi could answer, the people beside him covered their lips and laughed out loud.

"Oh...that's all." Xie Shuang pretended to sigh, "It turns out that we are not noticeable. There are so many younger sisters here, but Brother Xu only sees a younger sister Yuan in his eyes."

"Sister Shuang..." Yun Xi was so ashamed that her face flushed red, and in a low voice, she secretly tugged on her sleeve.

"It's my fault." Xu Zhijian helped her out, and made a bow to the girls, very kind, "Sisters, don't blame them, come when the time comes, I will treat you sisters to eat."

He was suave, had a coquettish smile, and the most humble and polite attitude.

Everyone laughed and made a fuss, coaxing him to drink a few glasses of wine to apologize, and then they gave up.

The gongs and drums on the stage were blaring, clearing the zero and banging several times, Xie Hengfang was long in coming.

The girls had already left, Xu Zhijian waved a folding fan, leaned on the veranda and looked at him with a smile, "You hide your wine well, if you knew I would go with you, you wouldn't have to drink so much."

He was always out of tune, Xie Heng just pretended not to hear, and sat down with his robe lifted.

On the table is a pot of Qiu Libai, which is the fruit wine that the girls drank just now.

With a calm expression on his face, he raised his hand and poured out a cup, and drank it slowly.

The aroma of the wine enters the throat, it is the rouge on the girl's lips, sweet and attractive.
