Chapter 11 The Belated Cousin

If someone is caught right and wrong, even if he is as honorable as the princess, he will still feel embarrassed. Princess Lan looked out while covering her hot cheeks, and couldn't help but startled: "Brother?"

The purple-clothed boy standing by the plum tree saw that his sister had spotted him, raised his eyebrows, and walked over. Seeing this, several boys hurriedly followed.

When the girls in the corridor heard the movement, they all turned their heads in surprise, and saw Rongxin, the grandson of King Jing walking in front.

Rong Xin walked to Han Qiuhua's side, and said with a smile: "Big cousin, if my mother sees you like this, it's time to punish me again."

Han Qiuhua smiled and said, "Courtesy cannot be discarded."

Rong Xin obviously restrained his temper towards this eldest cousin. Hearing this, he shook his head, looked around, his eyes stopped on Cheng Wei, and then lazily said: "Get up quickly, we are all familiar, there is no need to be polite .Today I’m just a fun-loving one, and everyone can do what they want.”

The teenagers and girls present were either brothers and sisters or cousins. The most distant ones were acquaintances since childhood. When they met, they called them "Brother" and "Sister".

Cheng Wei didn't want to see this bully the most, so he took the opportunity to move aside and hide behind Cheng Yao.

Rong Xin seemed to be aware of it, her pair of star eyes glinted coldly, and she glanced in that direction.

"Grandson, why didn't the eldest brother come with you?" Han Qiuhua asked when he saw that all the young people who came to the mansion today, except for today's protagonist, were missing.

"Huh?" Rong Xin looked away, apparently not hearing what Han Qiuhua asked clearly.

Han Qiuhua sighed secretly.

Speaking of which, Wei Cousin is also unlucky, and it is not good to provoke anyone, but she has been at odds with this little bully since she was a child.And Rong Xin is informal, if you start making trouble, it doesn't matter if you are a daughter's family or not, you can think of any way to make fun of others, and dare to do it!

"Why didn't brother come with you?"

"Oh, I see the old lady and the others brought them here first after calling Han Zhi to talk. You know, big cousin, not to mention anyone else, but my mother. Once she starts nagging, the ears of those who listen will get callused. -"

"Brother!" Hearing that Rong Xin's words became more and more outrageous, Princess Lan shouted in warning.

Rong Xin treated her only sister from the same country pretty well, so she finally stopped talking.

Han Qiuhua pondered for a moment and said: "If that's the case, let's go to Tingxue Building first. Although there is a brazier here, it is not as warm as the house. It will not be beautiful if my sisters catch a cold."

"Just listen to my cousin." Rong Xin said with a smile.

Tingxue Building is compact in construction, and once you enter the door, bypassing the rosewood screen that blooms in four seasons, it is a bright and bright hall, and the resting place is on the second floor.

There were two large tables in the middle of the hall, and everyone sat down separately for men and women, and the maids filed in and served dried fruit and wine.

"Why is it sherbet?" Rong Xin couldn't help frowning when he saw the green pool in the crystal cup.

Han Qiuhua said with a smile: "It's just right to drink sherbet, otherwise my sisters drink too much, I should be scolded.

Han Yu, the youngest among the teenagers, said dissatisfiedly: "Eldest sister, elder brother has already said that I'm allowed to drink today."

To his little cousin, Han Qiuhua was not so polite, he glanced at him and said: "If you want to drink, wait until your elder brother comes over."

Han Yu, who was only eight years old, didn't dare to challenge the majesty of the big lady, made a grimace, and stopped talking resentfully, but Rong Xin was not afraid, and said with a smile: "In this case, you just drink sherbet, we drink this sweet What are you doing with such a boring thing?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Han Qiuhua to speak, he tilted his head and ordered the maid standing beside him: "Remove the sherbet from this table and replace it with pear blossom brew."

As soon as King Jing's grandson spoke, the maids did not dare to delay, and quickly removed the sherbet and replaced it with pear blossom brew.As soon as the wine was sealed, the sweet and mellow aroma of the wine filled the hall.

The slightly drunken atmosphere made people subconsciously relax. After a while, even the little girls who were drinking sherbet felt a little smug, and their courage grew stronger than usual.

The third girl, Han Qiumeng, held up the crystal cup and said, "Eldest sister, it's so boring for us to wait like this, why don't we come and order the wine."

This proposal immediately attracted a lot of echoes.

"How about Xingshi Ling?" Tao Xinyi suggested.

Tao's family is a well-known scholarly family in Jiayang, and their ancestors had been tutors of emperors. In terms of talent, although Tao Xinyi is not as famous as Cheng Yao, she is still a real person.

Cheng Tong glanced at Cheng Yao out of the corner of his eye, smiled, and said softly, "Every time it's a poem order, in my opinion, it's not as lively as drumming and passing flowers."

On weekdays, Cheng Tong's attitude towards Cheng Yao is acceptable because of Cheng Wei's deadly enemy, but in terms of sisterhood, there is not much in it.

Aunt Dong prides herself on being a talented woman, Master Cheng even prides herself on being talented, and You Xi’s sons and daughters can inherit some points. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, Cheng Tong puts a lot of energy into poetry and prose. She should be proud of herself, but there is a Cheng Yao, the number one talented woman in the capital, was overwhelmed, and it was strange that she felt refreshed. Seeing that all the people present were young men of the same age, and there were even royal relatives and nobles like King Jing's descendants, she subconsciously didn't want Cheng Yao to show off.

Although Cheng Tong refuted Tao Xinyi's proposal, because a natural soft voice is not offensive, and the young men and women present have not lost their childishness, and they have not blindly pursued elegance. Interesting, all should come down.

Only Cheng Wei suddenly said: "I can't drink, so I won't participate."

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their attention.

"Then how can we do it? It's only fun when everyone is together, it's not good if there is more than one less." Cheng Tong said.

Seeing her concerned look, Cheng Wei wanted to stomp her foot with her moccasin boots, but before she could retort, Han Qiuhua said, "Cousin Wei really can't drink alcohol, I didn't even dare to let her drink this sherbet today. "

It was only then that someone noticed that the crystal cup in front of Cheng Wei was only filled with water.

Hearing Han Qiuhua speak, Cheng Wei woke up.

Today is my cousin's 16th birthday!

Previously, it was a girl's house under the promenade, and it was fine to have some small disputes. If she confronted Cheng Tong again at this time, wouldn't it be a disappointment for cousin Zhi's birthday party.

Then maybe Cousin Zhi really hates her?

No matter how proud the little girl is, once she encounters people and things related to her sweetheart, she can't help but bow her head.

Whenever Cheng Wei thinks that her cousin Zhi will look at her with disgust, her heart will be soaked in vinegar water, sour, astringent and painful. Rarely, instead of confronting Cheng Tong, she gets up and takes it. The flower drum presented by the maid said: "Then let me play the drum."

"No, no." Chen Lingyun jumped out, "Where the flower will go later, it will be in the hands of the drummer. If you have a good relationship with you and let it go gently, it will fall into the hands of people who don't usually deal with it. What should I say then?"

"I won't do that." Cheng Wei said coldly.

"It's not just what you said—" Perhaps because she drank too much sherbet, Chen Lingyun forgot that this was not in Huairenbo's mansion, and her words became more and more unscrupulous.

One of the ordinary-looking boys frowned, but the girls had a dispute and it was not easy to intervene, so they whispered a few words to the youngest Han Yu.

Han Yu nodded and leaned over with an innocent expression: "Cousin Wei, if you want to be a drummer, you can cover your eyes."

Although it was a child's talk, it was a good suggestion, and it finally blocked Chen Lingyun's mouth.

Cheng Wei took the red silk scarf brought up by the maid, raised his hands up, and felt pain in his right elbow, so he couldn't help but put it down again.

Rong Xin kept staring at Cheng Wei with her wine glass in her hand, the bored look on her face disappeared for a moment.

It's really ugly people making troubles, but it's just playing drums and passing flowers, what does she want to do?
"Blindfold me." Cheng Wei ordered the maid beside her.

The red silk scarf covered his eyes, everything was dark, Cheng Wei didn't quite get used to it, he groped for the drum, then held the mallet with his left hand, took a deep breath and said, "Then let's start."

The drumstick fell, and there was a "boom".

At this time, Han Zhi happened to walk in.
