What I missed was irreversible, and Zeng Mohan finally left in a daze.

I don't know if he said anything to Zeng Yuwei afterward, not only Zeng Mohan, but also Zeng Yuwei, who was always clingy to He Zhi, didn't show up the whole day afterwards.When it was time for dinner, the dishes brought by the maids were still He Zhi's favorite. It can be seen that although Zeng Mohan was disappointed, he didn't have any grudges against He Zhi because of it.

After things passed like this, the next day was Zeng Yuanzhi's birthday.The Zeng's family was originally a famous family, and Zeng Yuanzhi was the chief of one party. Naturally, many people came to celebrate his birthday on this day, and the entire prefect's mansion was also busy early.

It wasn't too early for Wei Lai and He Zhi to arrive, although they were guests in Zeng's mansion, they didn't bother to join in the fun this day.He Zhi was too lazy to deal with all that, and Wei Lai and the Zeng family had no friendship, so the two chose a time that was neither early nor late, and the least noticeable time to go to the front hall.

Xi Qiu carried He Zhi's painting and followed the two of them. As soon as they reached the front hall, He Zhi ordered her to send the painting as a birthday present.But at the end of the day, He Zhi unexpectedly warned: "Remember, it was sent in the name of General Wei."

As soon as the words came out, the other two were taken aback. Xi Qiu seemed a little displeased, and Wei Lai even asked, "Why did you send it in my name? I don't have any friendship with the Zeng family, and it's only today." I just came here with you."

He Zhi blinked, and naturally she would not say that she wanted to take this opportunity to spread the news of their engagement, but explained: "This time I came to celebrate my birthday by accident, and I didn't prepare this gift specially. As a congratulatory gift from the He family, the painting is too light. Others may laugh at it when they see it. But if it is in my own name... I am afraid that it is not appropriate, so it is better to send it in your name, after all The Zeng family also knows about our engagement."

Wei Lai really doesn't have much contact with people and sophistication, especially she doesn't know much about the contacts between these rich and powerful families.Now that He Zhi said so, she believed it when it sounded reasonable, so she nodded and said no more.

The two had agreed just now, and when they turned their heads, they saw Zeng Mohan coming in from the outside, and coincidentally, the other party was also looking up, so their eyes immediately met.

He Zhi's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled at Zeng Mohan as usual, showing all the gentleness in her expression.Wei Lai also nodded slightly at him, obviously letting go of his grudges after speaking.It's just that Zeng Mohan still felt a little embarrassed, he even paused when he stepped into the door, but after hesitating, he still lifted his foot and walked over.

"A Zhi, General Wei, you are here." Although he tried his best to restrain his emotions, Zeng Mohan still couldn't help showing a little embarrassment when facing Wei Lai and the two.

He Zhi nodded slightly and smiled, "It's Uncle Zeng's birthday today, I'm afraid Mo Han is busy."

Seeing that He Zhi's attitude was as usual, Zeng Mohan also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the feeling of embarrassment before was also slightly reduced.He looked around and said with a helpless smile: "Yes, there are quite a lot of people here, even more lively than when we were in the capital."

He Zhi could hear some sarcasm and complexity in his words, but she was not easy to answer.Coincidentally at this moment, today's birthday star Zeng Yuanzhi finally came to the front hall.

Today is Zeng Yuanzhi's 50th birthday. Although it is not a big birthday, but after all, it is every tenth day, and many people came to celebrate his birthday.It's just that he himself didn't seem to take it too seriously, and he only changed into new clothes, and didn't pay special attention to it.On the contrary, Zeng Yuwei, who was following him, specially changed into a festive red long dress today, which looked a bit cute and cute.

As soon as Zeng Yuanzhi appeared, the people who had been gathering in twos and threes in the front hall to greet each other surrounded him to congratulate him.As today's protagonist, he naturally clasped his hands and responded one by one, and the room was full of excitement for a while.

Seeing this, He Zhi and Wei Lai waited for a while, until the people surrounding Zeng Yuanzhi had dispersed, and then went up to meet him.

After all, he had no friendship with the Zeng family, and was even less familiar with Zeng Yuanzhi. Wei Lai only said a few festive words at the beginning, and then silently retreated to the side as a background board.As for the polite words afterwards, it was naturally up to He Zhi to speak.

Politeness, pleasantries, greetings, the conversation between the family members is nothing more than that.When Zeng Yuanzhi and He Zhi had almost finished talking, Zeng Yuwei who had been quiet for a while answered the conversation and said with a smile: "Sister He looks good today, but yesterday she finally rested?"

Looking at Zeng Yuwei's friendly smile as usual, He Zhi really couldn't see what kind of thoughts she had.If it is said that what she did before was all for her brother, then Zeng Mohan had obviously given up and quit at this moment, why is she still acting like this?Or, with such an attitude, what else does she want to do?

But if you can't see it through, you can't see it through it, and superficial skills are indispensable.He Zhi still had a smile on her face, and replied: "I was so tired from the journey before, and I had a rare free time yesterday, so I must have rested. Speaking of which, I have to rely on Uncle Zeng's blessing."

It's okay to listen to such polite words, Zeng Yuwei turned her eyes slightly, and her eyes fell on Xi Qiu who was behind the two people opposite.Or to be more precise, it should have landed on the scroll in Xi Qiu's hand that he hadn't had time to send out: "Hey, Sister He, what the maid behind you is holding in her hand is the birthday present she plans to give to uncle today? "

He Zhi heard the words and looked back, only to find that Xi Qiu hadn't sent the painting yet.But she didn't care too much, and took it casually, turned around and handed the painting to Zeng Yuanzhi with a smile: "I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare anything. It's just a thought, and I hope uncle will not be offended."

Zeng Yuanzhi is a literati, and he is a literati who has never been short of money from a wealthy family. In his eyes, things like gold, silver and money are worthless.So at the moment when he saw the picture scroll that He Zhi sent, he didn't feel slighted, on the contrary, he took it with some joy, and then opened the picture scroll to read on the spot.

The pines are tall and straight, lifelike.The layout is ingenious, and the character Shou is hidden.Almost as soon as the scroll was opened, Zeng Yuanzhi fell in love with it when he saw it for the first time, and even the smile on his face couldn't help but be a bit real: "Is this painted by Zhi'er? Sure enough, the ingenuity and skill of the brushwork Shangjia, you are worthy of your name as a talented woman."

The people next to him heard this, even if they didn't know He Zhi, and hadn't seen the painting yet, they couldn't help but follow Zeng Yuanzhi's words to say a few words of praise.For a moment, the sound of admiration filled the hall.

Seeing this, Zeng Yuwei raised her eyebrows, and was about to say something when He Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle Zeng's absurd praise. This painting is just a wish of mine and Wei Lai. As long as uncle doesn't dislike it, it will be fine." It's an honor for both of us.”

Others didn't know He Zhi, so they only took it as her humble words, but Zeng Yuanzhi and Zeng Yuwei understood the deep meaning of her words - she was binding herself and Wei Lai together in front of everyone, It is also a disguised declaration of the relationship between the two.

Zeng Yuanzhi was not surprised, but Zeng Yuwei's face changed slightly, she just felt that Wei Lai was getting more and more unpleasant.
