I wish for a long time

When Ye Jiu and Chu Sheng came to the backyard, it was already very lively.The male and female guests were divided into two sides, and the tables in the middle were facing the stage, and Mrs. Lin, the host, had already taken her seat.

"Jin'er, come here."

When Mrs. Lin saw the two of them, she quickly waved.

Here, Ye Jiu was still looking for Qi Shao'an in the yard, and didn't notice Madam Lin's movements. Seeing this, Chu Sheng quietly pulled her, "Master, my aunt called you over."

Ye Jiu hesitantly turned his gaze back, seeing Madam Lin's table with all the young and old looking at him, she had no choice but to endure the impatience in her heart, and led Chu Sheng to the table.

"Who is that person next to Lord Hou?"

"Look dressed like a palace man."

"You don't know each other? That's the eighth princess."

"The eighth princess? It's not that the legend is a fool, how does it look..."

"You don't know, it's fine that the eighth princess was inexplicable some time ago, and she can't see any difference from ordinary people at all."

"Then why did she come here after recovering from a serious illness?"

"Didn't you hear that, some time ago, between Lord Hou and the eighth princess..."

"Oh, oh, I remember that there was a lot of trouble in the palace."

Ye Jiu frowned and turned his head, looking at the three or two women gathered together, with a little chill in his eyes.

There are really people with broken mouths everywhere.

One of the women caught a glimpse and quickly pulled the woman who was talking happily. When the latter raised his head, he was frightened and buried his head tremblingly.

Ye Jiu snorted coldly, then looked at Chu Sheng, "Princess, don't worry, they are all people who are too idle."

Chu Sheng raised his eyes, with a faint smile in his moist eyes, and shook his head at Ye Jiu: "It's okay, it's not bad."

Ye Jiu frowned slightly, isn't that bad?

Yes, ten years of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, being bullied and looked down upon by others, how can there be less, and just bumping into it by myself, no less than twice.

"Everything will be fine."

Hearing Ye Jiu's soft words, Chu Sheng paused, and saw Ye Jiu's figure passing him in an instant, and slightly twitched the corners of his mouth.

Yeah, it's gonna be okay, just without you.

"Jin'er, come and meet Mr. Xi, in terms of seniority, you should follow Zhaoyang's name as grandfather."

Mrs. Lin warmly pulled Ye Jiu and Chu Sheng to her side, and then introduced Ye Jiu and Xi Fan.

As for Zhaoyang, after Lu Lin entered the Lin family genealogy, Mr. Bai made his name for him.

Lu Lin on the side clutched his robe awkwardly, next to the old man with a gray beard, he seemed a little cautious, but when he saw Ye Jiulai at this time, his eyes lit up:

"Big brother!"

Ye Jiu patted him on the shoulder, and saluted Xi Fan: "Shi Jin met Mr. Xi."

Xi Fan was a little surprised when he saw his face, "Are you the young man who just guarded the door?"

Ye Jiu: "..."

Chu Sheng couldn't hold back a chuckle, and Mrs. Lin also reacted later, covering her lips and pursing her smile, and the atmosphere on the table eased a lot for a while.

Xi Fan looked Ye Jiu up and down, "I heard that the young master of Zhenyuan is capable of scheming, martial arts training and fighting, and the world has long passed you down as a tall and burly man. It's unbelievable that you are such a weak man. children."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Ye Jiu's shoulder, laughing twice.

The seemingly light two palms made Ye Jiu blushed instantly, she stiffened and smiled.

"Mr. Xi is coming to Beijing this time, but he wants to spend two more days to play, so that Zhaoyang can fulfill his filial piety for his mother."

Mr. Xi's eyes softened when he heard the words, and he touched Lu Lin's knee, "I thought that the old man lost his beloved daughter, but unexpectedly, God gave me such a great gift when I was old. Take Zhaoyang to see Yao'er."

Ye Jiu was a little surprised, "Mr. Xi is going to Yuncheng?"

Xi Fan hummed, "That's right, I'll start my journey after I finish dealing with the matter here."

Ye Jiu nodded when she heard the words, and she looked at Lu Lin: "You have been out for more than half a year, it's time to go see your aunt and report that you are safe."

Lu Lin nodded obediently, as if he was not used to the sudden love of his elders, and the usually lively and active child restrained his recklessness at this time.

"Just now, the old gentleman said that there is still something important to do in Beijing?"

"Yes, there is not a □ □ in Jianghu recently. I found that many martial arts people have gone north, and there are fewer and fewer people available in the south of the Yangtze River. I want to take this opportunity to investigate."

Xi Fan frowned, while Ye Jiu and Chu Sheng turned cold when they heard the words.

People in the Wulin suddenly ran wild, this is not a fun thing.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of seriousness in each other's eyes.

Just at this time, the young man came forward to report that the time has come and the banquet can be held.

Ye Jiuyin put down the worry in her heart. Seeing that everyone was seated, but Qi Shaoan hadn't seen her figure yet, she got up with an excuse, nodded at the few people, and said, "I'll go greet the guests first."

……

Ye Jiu came out from the side path, and finally saw Qi Shao'an's figure at the end of the guest table.

"Shao'er, where did you go?"

Qi Shao'an felt a little helpless, "It's not like being entangled by someone."

Ye Jiu's face suddenly changed, "Who is so bold, dare to play wild in the Hou's mansion!"

"Of course it's me, why, do you have an opinion?"

A dark blue figure slowly walked out from behind the rockery with arms folded, with a beating smile on his face.

Ye Jiu couldn't help snorting, "How dare you, second uncle."

It was Xiao Qi who came.

Xiao Qi put away his cynical look, and said kindly: "I am not suitable to go forward, so I have to call my little Shao'er here."

"Speaking of which, how is your injury?"

Feeling the concern from his second uncle, Ye Jiu was flattered, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Qi Shaoan was worried again when she heard the words, she looked at Ye Jiu's face carefully, and said worriedly: "Ajiu, if you are tired, go and rest for a while."

Ye Jiu shook his head with a smile, and squeezed her hand bones, "Don't worry, I..."

"Isn't it, Young Master, how long has it been since we last saw you, and your body has become like this?"

A teasing male voice came from behind them, Ye Jiu turned his head and saw Hu Bing walking towards them waving his fan, followed by two men.

There was a hint of surprise in Ye Jiu's eyes, "Oh, Hu Shangshu?"

Hu Bing closed his fan and cupped his hands towards Ye Jiu, "Don't dare, the young master should tell me Yanyi to be more comfortable."

He straightened up and put away his joking face, "Speaking of which, when I returned home yesterday, I heard that the young master was seriously injured a few days ago, but he still hasn't recovered?"

Ye Jiu shook his head, "It's all right now. It's you who went to Jiangnan to look for it, and the harvest is good."

Hu Bing tapped his head with a fan: "It's as difficult to handle as iron donkeys. It still takes a lot of effort for the imperial court to be politically clear and accessible."

Ye Jiu nodded, his eyes fell on the two people behind him, Hu Bing noticed it, and introduced him sideways: "This is brother Dai Mingxuan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, who helped me a lot when he went to Jiangnan with me this time."

The man in Tsing Yi cupped his hands towards Ye Jiu, "I've heard about Zhenyuan Hou's reputation for a long time, and I finally see you again today. I'm an official...I'm so excited."

Ye Jiu was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned to look at Qi Shao'an, with some disbelief in his bright eyes.

Qi Shao'an saw her uncertain sluggish appearance, chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand and gently tugged at her cuff, motioning her to recover.

Hu Bing snickered while holding a fan, seeing that Ye Jiu didn't reply for a long time, coughed hurriedly, and said:

"After Rong Hui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was assigned, the original servant was promoted, and Brother Dai was selected from the disciples of the new Guoxue Institute. He became the servant of the Ministry of Industry. Speaking of which, he is also considered a young master. half of my students."

Ye Jiu patted her forehead when she heard the words, she almost forgot about the National Academy of Sciences with so many things going on recently.

"But this one is not from the National Academy of Sciences. Although he is now the Minister of the Ministry of War, he turned out to be..."

"Ye... Marquis Lin, Mrs. Lin, you are here."

Hu Bingzheng was introducing another man next to him, but was suddenly interrupted by a brisk voice.

Song Chuxun came quickly from the entrance of the garden, looked at a circle of people around here, and asked in a daze: "The banquet is already open, what are you still doing here?"

Xue Yuning also followed behind, nodding to them.

"Mr. Xue...Ms. Xue, please stay safe."

The man who had just introduced halfway opened his mouth suddenly, with a soft smile on his lips, he punched Xue Yuning.

Xue Yuning looked along, and then realized, "So it's Mr. Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but everything is going well?"

The man nodded lightly, with some warmth in his eyes, "Miss Lao is concerned, everything is fine."

Hu Bing shook his head left and right, a little surprised, "Do you know each other?"

The man hummed, and said calmly: "Miss Xue discussed the war in northern Xinjiang with me many times when she was still working as an aide in the Chu Mansion, and because of the similar temperament, she became a confidant."

Xue Yuning also nodded with a smile when he heard the words, "Yes, if the third son hadn't sent me a message from thousands of miles away, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here and chat with everyone properly."

Hu Bing suddenly realized, "It turns out that Miss Xue is the servant of the Ministry of Rites who is about to take office. She has been admiring her for a long time."

Ye Jiu folded his arms and frowned, "Brother, you know again?"

Hu Bing waved his fan proudly: "This matter in the capital is nothing to worry about, not to mention that this matter has been spread in the six departments. Everyone is quite curious about this first female official of Kangsheng."

Hearing the words, Ye Jiu turned his head quietly, and blinked at Qi Shao'an. Qi Shao'an was also looking up at Ye Jiu at this moment.

At this moment, Song Chuxun lowered his head, kicking the stones beside his feet in boredom, and only glanced to the side from time to time.

"Uh, that, let's take a seat first, it's too conspicuous to gather here."

Ye Jiu cleared his throat and suggested.

Seeing this, Qi Shaoan also said: "Yes, the food will be cold if you don't go."

Everyone nodded, and walked towards the courtyard one after another. Xue Yuning took two steps, and suddenly found that the fragrance of peach blossoms was missing beside her. circle.

Xue Yuning smiled lightly and shook his head, turned around and took her hand a few steps, and said dotingly, "Let's go."

Song Chuxun didn't raise her head, and although her feet were sticky, she didn't let go of her hand, and was dragged away without a pause.

On the other hand, Qi Shaoan saw that his elder brother had no intention of moving at all, so he asked aloud: "Brother, why are you still standing here?"

Xiao Qi smiled and signaled her and Ye Jiu to go quickly, "You go first, I'll be right here."

Although Qi Shao'an was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions, nodded and said: "Okay."

After the two left, Xiao Lanfeng stood half a step behind him with his hands behind his back, and said softly, "Are you planning to go?"

Xiao Qi lowered his head and smiled slightly, and shook his head, "No, I have met many courtiers and family members with my father. Today is a happy day, so I won't cause trouble to my brother-in-law."

Xiao Lanfeng frowned and remained silent, still standing there.

Xiao Qi took a deep breath, raised a bright smile, he pushed Xiao Lanfeng casually, and said comfortably: "Eat more, I'll wait for you outside."

……

"Yezi, if you don't come, I will be full."

Holding a cup in his hand, Xue Jingning saw Ye Jiu sitting down beside her, and looked at her wearily.

Seeing his listless appearance, Ye Jiu smiled lightly and said, "That's right, the young head of the dignified Prosperous Bank has never seen any good wine and food, so naturally he looks down on the food in my Hou's Mansion."

Xue Jingning snorted, "Stop embarrassing me, I don't care if anyone likes to be the young master."

Ye Jiu glanced at him helplessly, "Here you go again, now that your sister has stepped into an official career, Mr. Xue is old, and Wan Ning is just old enough, the big and small family affairs will always fall on you."

Xue's family has been in business for several generations, and Xue Jingning's generation, regardless of the bank name, has already blossomed in Tongzhou, and some have even extended to Jingzhou. If he hadn't stumbled into Beijing this time, Mr. I don't intend to tell him everything at this time.

Xue Jingning was silent for a long time, and said impatiently: "Okay, what are you talking about, let's have a good chat."

Ye Jiu felt helpless, she shrugged her shoulders, and just about to pull out the chair, she saw Xiao Lanfeng sitting on her right hand.

"Where's second uncle?" She looked around, but she didn't see Xiao Qi.

"Go back first."

Xiao Lanfeng filled himself with wine and slowly raised his glass.

Ye Jiu figured it out after thinking about it, she looked at the female guest's table opposite, Qi Shao'an was busy looking after the female guest, so she didn't bother to look over here.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Xiao Lanfeng's movements again, feeling a little unusual.Ye Jiu followed his gaze, and saw a slightly rough man holding a cup in the same way.

Ye Jiu took a closer look and blinked in surprise.

General Zou Zhaozou?

These two...

Suddenly a light flashed in her mind, remembering what Uncle Bai had mentioned to her in the ancestral hall that day, she understood it in an instant, shook her head and chuckled, and picked up the wine glass.

On the opposite side, Zou Zhao was stunned for a moment, his beard trembled, and he grinned.

Spirits entered the stomach, just like those old things, they all rotted in the stomach.

The author has something to say: You who started: What kind of evil religion, CP is reversible and cannot be dismantled!
