Half an hour later, Wu Ci also arrived home.

"Brother, please take time off to accompany me, I'm almost bored to death." Wu Zan looked at Wu Ci who was unbuttoning the black tunic jacket.

"If you're bored, go find your friends. Mama Xu, is Mr. Xue here?"

"Yes, master." Madam Xu nodded, "I arrived half an hour ago."

In the evening, according to the usual practice, as long as Xue Ya came in the evening, he would stay for dinner, and today was no exception.

During the period, the man invited Xue Ya to attend the wedding banquet in Zhaoyuelou out of politeness.

"Well, I'll definitely be there if I'm free. I'm done eating, so I should go." He stood up as he spoke.

"Then I'll see you off." Wu Ci also stood up.

At the gate, Wu Ci looked at Xue Ya, "Are you really going to come that day?"

"Your father said it casually and politely, and I just agreed casually. If we meet again after the wedding, just say that we have to deal with it."

"Well," Wu Ci nodded, "Then are you free that day?"

"Yes, why did you want to slip out that day? Your father will be angry."

"He'll be very busy that day, I'll just show up, and then find a chance to slip out, and he won't notice. Go to Chaohua Garden, I haven't been there for a long time."

"Well, go if you can slip out, anyway, I don't have class that day."

In the evening, everyone sat in the living room after dinner, reading newspapers and chatting with others.

"That woman," Shaozhen, who was sitting there reading a book, suddenly put down the book and looked at the man, "Since you don't have to worship, when will you come in?"

The woman's opening made everyone quiet, because usually the two of them would not communicate unless they were discussing work. If they communicated, they would quarrel.

"What about that woman, it's not that you don't know her name. I will come over on the morning of the wedding. You too, you changed your mind that day. Do you hear me, Wu Ci?"

"It's unlikely," Wu Ci put down the cup of black tea, "Besides, if she comes in, I'll change my words, and you will be disappointed."

After speaking, he went upstairs to his room.

Wu Zan on the side looked at everything nervously, and sighed in his heart, his cousin was so courageous that he even felt like talking back to his uncle.Thinking of him glancing at the serious man, he still shivered in his heart.

He thought about it, as if he had never seen this man really smile since he was a child.

On Saturday morning, Wu Zan, who was still asleep, was awakened by the sound of a whistle.

He impatiently walked to the window and looked into the yard: "Who is it? It's so early."

The courtyard before dawn was accompanied by drizzle, so the visibility was even lower. In the hazy rain and fog, he saw several black cars slowly driving into the courtyard and stopping.

"That's right, today is my little aunt's day. There are so many people here? It seems that there is a lot of dowry, go and see..."

Feeling excited, he put on his suit and went downstairs.

As soon as Wu Zhe arrived at the lobby, he saw Yuge, Shaozhen and Wu Ci were already there, and Shaozhen looked like a hostess.

"Cousin, your mother is really determined to show her power." He walked to Wu Ci and said softly.

"Why is this so?" Wu Ci yawned, "It's really boring to wake people up early in the morning."

As soon as the words were finished, a woman in a plum red cheongsam embroidered with peonies came in. She looked a few years older than Wu Ci and had a pretty face. Although she was smiling, she could still see the helplessness and embarrassment on her face.

Several servants following her carried a few large boxes in their hands. An older servant put down the things in his hands, trotted to Shaozhen and bowed: " Ma'am, where do we put our lady's luggage?"

But Shaozhen deliberately didn't answer, and gave Yuge a wink, telling her to keep silent.

Time passed by, and Yun Miao's expression couldn't hold back any longer. Wu Ci, who couldn't stand it anymore, walked up to the servant with one hand in his suit trousers pocket, "Upstairs is the room next to the master bedroom. Ms. Yun is too, go up first." Rest." He smiled at Yun Miao and nodded.

After they went upstairs, Shaozhen sat on the sofa, "Who told you to speak up."

"Why embarrass her, don't look for trouble. Wu Zai, let's go to Zhaoyuelou first. Anyway, you're boring staying here, right?"

"Oh, um." Knowing that he wanted to avoid Shaozhen earlier, Wu Zan nodded and followed Wu Ci.

on the street.

Wu Ci and Wu Zan walked with dark red oil-paper umbrellas.

"Ah...really, shouldn't I sleep late in a comfortable bed, and then get up and have a good breakfast? Why are you wandering in the street now, and it's raining." Complaining, Wu Zai took a bite Just bought hot buns.

"Aren't you eating?" Wu Ci squinted at him.

"By the way, cousin, did Senhui transfer to another school?"

"No."

"Then why is she avoiding me?"

"Avoiding you? When?"

"Yesterday evening, I went to look for her, but the servant told me that she had changed schools and lived in school."

"Probably it was inconvenient for her to see you at that time. I should be able to see her today."

"Hey? Will she come to today's wedding banquet too?" Wu Zan's listless face suddenly lit up.

"That's right. After all, the two families are family friends. On such an occasion, Dad should pass an invitation to his family. Today is Saturday again, so he should come."

"Really?! Hurry up!" Hearing this, Wu Zai quickened his pace.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Wu Ci followed up with a helpless smile, "It's so early, no one will come."

In Zhaoyue Building, although it was still morning, all the shop assistants were already busy.For today's wedding banquet, the Wu family booked the entire Zhaoyue Building.

And Shaolu is arranging seats with the people in the hotel, who can't sit together, and who can't even meet each other.

The man chatted with Yunkov in the hall.

At this time, Wu Ci and Wu Zan also arrived.

"Oh, you're here so early? Come and say hello." The man called the two of them to him.

"Hello, Uncle Yun."

After saying hello, Wu Ci and Wu Zan, who were fine, wandered around the Zhaoyue Tower, helping Shaolu a little bit by the way.

"That Uncle Yun just now is the father of the Second Miss Yun today, right? It's dangerous, I thought Uncle was going to force you to call him Grandpa again just now."

"No, he knows that even if he tells me, I won't change my words, it will only embarrass everyone."

"Hey..." The bored Wu Zan muttered softly, "When will Hui'er come..."

Wu Ci laughed after hearing this, "You're all called Hui'er? When did you fall in love with her? Ah yes, after all, we used to get together when we were three children. But what do you like about her? This kid has a bad temper, really. Not tender."

"Beautiful! Uh... smart? Weird?" Wu Zan thought carefully while holding his chin, then shook his head again and again, "Oh, I can't figure it out, I don't know!"

Seeing him like this, Wu Ci felt even more funny.

"What about you, cousin? Do you have a favorite girl?"

"No. Let's go downstairs." Wu Ci turned and walked downstairs.

Near noon, the guests arrived one after another.

A girl in a small pink dress with a student's haircut came in with a small white leather bag in one hand and a lace parasol in the other. When she saw Wu Ci, she smiled and came over: "Brother Wu Ci!"

"Hui'er, you're here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Seeing Senhui finally arrived, Wu Zan also leaned over to greet her attentively.

"Oh, Wu Zai, you're back too?" Sen Hui lost half of her interest when she saw his face.

"Hey? Don't you know I'm back? How is it possible! I just went to see you yesterday! But your servant said that you have transferred to another school and you are staying at the school!"

Wu Ci who was on the side shook his head when he heard this. This child really doesn't look like his uncle's own.

"Ah, is that so?" Senhui smiled knowingly and asked, "Maybe she brushed you, go back and train him well. By the way, brother Wu Ci, do you want to go out for a walk after dinner? We haven't seen each other for a long time, right? "

"Shopping? Okay, okay!" Wu Zang squeezed into the topic, "Take me one!"

"Ah, that's just right," Wu Ci continued, "I have an appointment with someone else in the afternoon, you two should go. This kid," Wu Ci patted Wu Zan's shoulder, "I often talk about you."

"But..." Just as Sen Hui was about to refute, Wu Ci exchanged pleasantries with other guests.

After pushing and changing glasses of wine for three rounds, Wu Ci slipped out while everyone was busy drinking and socializing.

In the afternoon, the rain had stopped, but the clouds had not yet opened.

According to the agreement, he went to Xue Ya's house to look for him to watch a play in Chaohua Garden.

When the two of them were not a few steps away from Chaohua Garden, they met a slightly thin and handsome man wearing a moonlight gown.

"Greedy boss? Why, don't you sing today?"

"Oh, Young Master Wu." The man saw that Wu Ci also walked over and started talking, "I'm on stage, but I need a friend to pick me up. Who is this?"

"Oh, the gentleman who taught me foreign languages." Wu Ci said, Xue Ya smiled and nodded to the man looking at him, "Today I wanted to come to praise you with him, but I thought you didn't sing. Is it empty?"

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, The Legend of the White Snake."

"A big show?"

"Yeah, oh, it's almost time now, I have to hurry up, and we'll talk later." After speaking, he bowed and left.

In Chaohua Garden, Tanweichun performed Bai Suzhen's emotions on stage.

The fans below cheered loudly, and some wealthy people in the front row threw silver dollars, legal coins or gold and silver jewelry onto the stage from time to time.

"As expected of a famous actor." Xue Ya picked up the tureen and took a sip.

"Is it worth it? I asked you out several times and turned down."

"Isn't that not free, and it wasn't intentional. By the way, how is your house? After Miss Yun Er came, the atmosphere at home is very good, right?"

"Forget it..." Wu Ci lowered his head and straightened his cuffs, "Let's go to your house tonight. I don't want to go back. I don't want to see you."

"It's ok, but if you sleep out for no reason, wouldn't it be more disturbing to hear your mother's scolding when you go back the next morning?"

"Don't worry, I'll go back before the evening and say I'm going to a friend's house to play. She's busy giving Miss Yun Er a bad impression at this time, so how could she care so much about me?"
