The cheongsam beauty becomes a god after the end of the law

Chapter 58 58. Marquee Fragments

Chen Xiangyin's consciousness floated in the darkness, the pain in his body far away, leaving only endless fatigue and nothingness.

In front of his eyes, the struggling "He Xiaofang" nailed to the wall gradually blurred, and instead appeared two red doors inlaid with exquisite copper nails.

Under the moonlight, with mist rising, two tall doors slowly opened, revealing a wide avenue.

Everything around is slowing down and becoming quieter, and the yellow lanterns on both sides of the road light up one after another.

It was the old servants who lit the lamps with long poles in their hands.

"Miss is back!"

"Miss Third, where have you been? Make it easy for the young master to find you!"

"Miss, come in quickly! I'm angry that I can't find you!"

Agarwood wears a floor-length robe with wide sleeves and a lotus-pink silk skirt embroidered with large lotus flowers that sweeps over the white marble floor tiles. It is a new dress sewn for her by her mother.

She remembered every one of the lush trees and courtyards on both sides of the avenue.

Magnolia grandiflora with its tall trunk and straight leaves was her favorite, and her father spent a lot of trouble to move it.

The persimmon tree, which is covered with orange lanterns, was brought back by my brother from other places. The fruit is very beautiful, but it is inedible and very astringent.

There is also an osmanthus tree, covered with golden osmanthus flowers, rich in fragrance. My mother will make osmanthus cake every season.

All the trees are in bloom out of season.

Crossing the familiar avenue and opening the door inside, there was a lot of hustle and bustle and people.

Forty or fifty round tables, hundreds of people.

Setting up a banquet.

It was a welcome feast for my brother who returned successfully with his caravan.

Everyone noticed her coming in, some said hello, and some continued to be lively.

At the main table in the middle, there was the person she knew and missed the most.

Father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second sister...

Her father's face was dark, and he gave her a sharp look when he saw her.

"You still know to come back!"

"I went to buy pastries! Fuman Bakery is queuing up for some reason today..." She picked up the box in her hand and placed it on the table.

The father blew his beard and glared: "What nonsense! You just don't have the rules! Today we invited a famous pastry chef from Yangzhou to come to the house to make snacks! You still go out to buy them?!"

The elder brother stroked his father's back and said, "I wanted to eat it and asked her to buy it. Father, don't blame Xiang Yin. He also wanted to add icing on the cake to this table of delicious dishes."

The mother also chimed in: "Yes! Look at how you are always on the line! It seems that Xiang Yin has made so many mistakes, isn't it time to catch up~"

Chen Xiangyin blinked, opened the snack box, picked up a piece from the inside, and handed it to his father.

"Father, don't be angry! It's hot, you can try it!"

A lotus cake dyed pink.

Her father glared at her: "Didn't you say I bought it for your brother?"

"My brother and I are filial. If there is something delicious, of course my father will taste it first!" Chen Xiangyin smiled playfully and glanced at his brother.

The elder brother nodded in agreement and said loudly: "Yes! Father will taste it first!"

My father looked angry, but he still took it and took a serious bite with a smile in his eyes.

"Well - it's really good, you all should try it too!"

Chen Xiangyin picked up one and handed it to her mother: "Brother and sister-in-law, take it yourselves."

Only the playboy third lady of the Shen family could behave like this without regard for the occasion at a grand banquet.

She does whatever she wants.

Born free, I have never known worry.

Take one bite of the warm and fragrant lotus cake, and the thousands of layers of pastry will burst instantly, leaving a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth.

Someone came to propose a toast, and his face was flushed with drunkenness.

"Mr. Su! Congratulations!"

Chen Xiangyin turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window and showed no interest in family entertainment or business.

I said to my brother: "Brother, did you find anything new and interesting in your trip to Yunnan Mansion this time?"     "That's a lot!" My brother talked about what he had experienced in Yunnan Mansion.

Until the person toasting next to him was chatting with his father and said: "Quinzi is twenty-five this year. He has never been married. He is an honest man. With the third child of your family..."

"Stop it!" The father interrupted the other party sternly, "My daughter has been spoiled by me. Who doesn't know her in this city..." The father shook his head, unwilling to continue the topic.

Chen Xiangyin pricked up her ears to listen, she had long wanted to get married!
  Unfortunately, there has been no suitable candidate. She is already twenty-three this year and is considered an old girl.

Little sisters of the same age already have children running all over the floor!
  The other party smiled and said: "To be honest, Mr. Su, Quanzi has been admiring your third son for a long time. This is not to persuade me to come and have a look." He pointed to the crowd.

Chen Xiang looked forward and came across a young man sitting stiffly upright. As soon as the man saw her looking at him, he immediately lowered his head to eat.

Chen Xiangyin laughed out loud, he looked good, but unfortunately he was a little timid and she didn't like it.

The father also saw it and waved his hands repeatedly: "I know my daughter well, your boy can't control her, no, no, no."

The other party's tone was embarrassing: "The third child in your family is already twenty-three years old! If you continue to waste it..."

The father's eyebrows rose, "What's going on? My daughter will never marry! Our family can afford to support her!"

Seeing what the other party wanted to say, the father waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's stop the matchmaking and tell your boy not to worry about it anymore."

Chen Xiangyin glanced at the young man again. He looked really naive and quite interesting.

She was thinking about going over to tease him later.

"Xiang Yin, this is a fine wine brought back from Yunnan Mansion. Do you want to try it?" Her brother called her from the side.

Chen Xiangyin came back to his senses and glanced at his father, who acquiesced.

She nodded.

"Why are you drinking when you haven't eaten anything?" Her mother put a piece of fish belly into her bowl, the most fragrant bite.

She took a sip of the sweet and mellow Gudu wine, then picked up the fish meat in the bowl and stuffed it into her mouth, leaving endless aftertaste.

"Xiang Yin, there are many people today, so you'd better pay attention to your manners. Where's the handkerchief I embroidered for you? Why don't you bring it? Do you think I'm not good at my craftsmanship?" my sister-in-law said with a smile.

"No, no, I asked Chuntang to help me wash it! My sister-in-law's embroidery work is not picky!"

The family exchanges cups and cups and enjoys themselves happily.

She didn't know when the banquet ended. When she woke up drunk, she was the only one left in the whole yard.

All the lights were out, and the food and wine on the table were rotten and turned black.

Huge fear struck, and Chen Xiangyin screamed and cried: "Father! Mother! Brother!"

She stumbled and looked at the courtyard, which had been bustling just now, but now it was in devastation.

No one can be seen...it seems like she is the only one left in the world.

She opened the door to the inner courtyard and suddenly saw a figure on the porch avenue.

It's Ah Pong wearing a ghost mask and a horse-faced skirt.

Banran suddenly woke up, remembering that she was no longer the third young lady of the Su family who was favored by the whole family and was free and playful.

She was lost again.

The small fragment of her brother's feast was just a small fragment in the sea of ​​her memory.

She stood up and walked towards Abong, feeling suffocated by the familiar yet torturous feeling of loneliness.

Ah Bang saw her moving slowly and leisurely, sighed and took a few steps towards her.

"So careless? Make it easy for me to find you. What happened this time? Why do you look more distressed than last time?"

Then he took her hand and took her out.

"My brother's reception banquet." Chen Xiangyin didn't want to say any more.

She didn't like Ah Pong's hands, they were too cold, colder than hers, but she had no choice.

It was a great comfort that someone was willing to take care of her at this time and not leave her here alone.

Stepping out of the scarlet gate of Su Mansion, she walked a little further, and the road under her feet was the way to wake her up.

Can't help but want to take another look.

Looking back, the dusk mountains are vast, the grass is desolate, and the courtyard becomes rotten in the thick fog.

A hundred years later, her old friend had already gone far away, so she had nothing to live with in her life.
