Jiaochu

Su Wan shook her head slightly and replied that it was okay.Yan Chuchu asked hesitantly about Luo Jinxiu, and Hu Qian'er said angrily that the other party would pretend to cry and be pitiful, and she didn't know who to show it to.

Seeing her eldest brother and mother coming over, Hu Qian'er was a little nervous. Seeing her mother's anxious look, she couldn't help but blame herself.Luo Shi advised her to give way to the other party in the future. After all, the other party was her sister and younger than her. Hu Qian'er turned her head and said nothing, looking stubborn.

"Second sister, are you okay?" Hu Yuhan asked with concern.

Hu Qian'er turned her head and ignored her, and said angrily: "Brother, why don't you go and see your Jinxiu cousin? People are crying."

"You are my sister, so of course I came to see you first." Hu Yuhan coaxed in a flattering way, and asked Ye Lingxi for help with her eyes. She said calmly, "Sister Hu, let's go eat first. We can't be hungry."

Hu Yuhan nodded in agreement and guided Hu Qian'er in a flattering manner.

……

After sitting at the table, Ye Xingye quietly asked Ye Lingxi about the fight between the two little girls.She picked up a Sixi meatball and put it in her third brother's bowl, asking her third brother to eat more. When her third brother asked again, she picked up a chicken drumstick and put it in her third brother's bowl, asking her third brother to eat more. Eat something.

Then, Ye Xingye stopped asking.

After a while, Ye Lingxi secretly observed the ministers who went to toast Prime Minister Zhou's birthday and silently analyzed the relationship between them.

As the head of the six departments, the Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion and other matters of officials. Su Shi's father, Su Shangshu, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, first came to toast and celebrate his birthday, and then left without saying much. Then Shen Ning, the junior uncle of the country, came to toast. , joked for a while, then Zheng Mian, the Minister of War, talked to Prime Minister Zhou for a while, and Yang Qin, the Minister of Works, toasted a glass of wine and left. The other three ministers arrived, but no one arrived.

Ye Lingxi probably guessed some of the reasons.

Liu Shangshu first got married to Rong Shangshu, but it didn't work out, and then he got married to Wen Shangshu, but was deceived. If the three families appeared at the birthday banquet at the same time, there would naturally be gossip and jokes, so it would be better to hide at home and be quiet.

After a while, Ye Lingxi noticed another person. This person was tall, about thirty, with a gentle appearance and a serious smile. When the person turned around, she felt that his back looked familiar, and there was a fleeting impression in her mind. She couldn't remember where she had seen her before, so she quietly asked her third brother. Ye Xingye looked back and whispered, "That's Yanfei's second uncle. He doesn't seem to be very talkative." She nodded in agreement. Nodding, he really doesn't seem to talk much.

Then a slightly fat middle-aged uncle came over. He looked kind-hearted and looked like a wealthy man at first glance.Ye Lingxi asked quietly again, and Ye Xingye looked back and introduced him as Jin Yao's father.Ye Lingxi looked at the friendly and chubby face, and the gloomy and mean face of Jin Yao's eldest brother flashed in his mind, thinking that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite...

After a while, Prime Minister Zhou came over with Zhou Jing.

"The dog is being taken care of by the three highnesses in the study room."

Ye Lingxi felt that nothing had happened to him. He looked at the blooming wealthy shrimp in front of him and silently counted how many shrimp heads there were.

"The dog is also taken care of by the princess."

Ye Lingxi shifted his gaze from the shrimp head to Prime Minister Zhou's chin, which was so smooth that no stubble could be seen, and said calmly: "Brother Zhou is knowledgeable and courteous, and has good literary talent. Master often praises Brother Zhou for his good writing. He is a great scholar." Talented man."

Zhou Jing looked a little unnatural, as if he was ashamed.

Prime Minister Zhou smiled elegantly and said, "Princess, you are so complimentary." He added, "Wei Chen has read the article written by Su Xian Nephew before, but a dog can't reach it."

Ye Lingxi felt a little awkward when he heard the words "Su Xian Nephew", "Master often praises Brother Su for his good writing, which is better than mine. However, Master praises me for my good calligraphy." He said a few more words. After the polite words of poor reception, Prime Minister Zhou took Zhou Jing to Ningyang Hou's table to say hello.

Ye Lingxi looked at the backs of the father and son as they left, and when he turned around, he found an extra rich shrimp in the bowl.

"Second brother gave it to you." Ye Xingye reminded him kindly.

Ye Lingjue smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you just keep staring at this shrimp?"

"How does the second brother know that I'm not staring at that flower?" Ye Lingxi asked.

"Is this flower edible?" Ye Xingye looked at the decorative radish flower. He looked left and right and felt that it should be edible. Then he put it into the little imperial sister's bowl and said expectantly, "Lingxi, try it. , see if it tastes good.”

Ye Lingxi: "..."

……

When the banquet ended, it was already evening.

Before boarding the carriage, Lingxi sneaked to her eldest brother's carriage and talked for a while, then took out a bag of cakes from her arms. She saw that her eldest brother didn't eat much at the banquet, so she packed a bag quietly. pastry.

When Ye Qingran got on the carriage, she had an extra bag of cakes in her hand.

Everyone waited for the carriage of the prince and princess to leave first, and then waited for their own carriage to come to pick them up.

Yan Fei told his second uncle Yan Cheng and rode away first.Luo Jinxiu wanted to find an opportunity to go over and say a few words, but when she saw someone riding away, she had to give up.

At this time, another incident occurred.

Mr. Luo got drunk and yelled about who made his sister cry, and wanted to teach him a lesson to avenge his sister.

Hu Qian'er couldn't help but be a little scared when she saw the other party acting like a drunkard. Hu Yuhan went over and helped the person to the carriage. Mrs. Dongping didn't show any kindness to her nephew who helped. Luo Jinxiu thanked her in a low voice and followed her mother to the carriage.

In the carriage, Luo Jinxiu complained to her mother that her eldest brother was drunk and embarrassing, and she was glad that Yan Fei left first. If she saw her eldest brother in such an embarrassing state, she would not know what to think of her...

"You also know that your eldest brother is drunk and embarrassed. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to argue with that wild girl? You even started to fight. What is your identity? What is her identity? Do you deserve to be on the same level as her?"

When her mother said this, Luo Jinxiu bowed her head in aggrievedness, "She said I'm not good enough for Brother Yan..." Her mother advised her to take a longer view, and told her in detail how outstanding the Second Highness Ye Lingjue was. She also said that the Yan family were all warriors, and the Yanjiang incident occurred. In her opinion, the wife of the uncle's house, the other party was not worthy.Her mother also analyzed the pros and cons for her, saying that although Yanfei was the eldest grandson, his father died early, and his mother was a Buddhist monk and did not care about the affairs of the mansion. Now his second aunt is in charge of the general mansion, and his third uncle was kicked out again. This family business will definitely be inherited by his second uncle in the future. When the time comes to marry him, he will have to live according to his second uncle's family's face.

After hearing her mother's analysis, Luo Jinxiu was a little hesitant, but she was not willing to give up. She had nowhere to dispel her melancholy and could only twist her handkerchief in circles.
