Chapter 103

Hong Xi was taken aback for a moment when he heard the words, a look of disappointment was evident on his face, then he chuckled and said with emotion: "Young Master Yuan is really lucky!"

Song Jiyun's hand holding the teacup paused.

Hong Xi laughed and said: "Then let's meet at the banquet!"

Before Song Jiyun could speak, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What banquet?"

The two of them looked at each other in unison.

I saw Yuan Yunzhong walking in leisurely, wearing a bamboo blue net-faced hang silk gown.

He is tall and straight, with black eyebrows and eyes, skin that is more snowy, and slightly raised almond eyes that are cold, but his dignified and dignified expression is like piles of ice and snow, revealing a deep chill.

Both Hong Xi and Song Jiyun stood up involuntarily, and Hong Xi even bowed to him respectfully, saying "Mr. Yuan".

Yuan Yunzhong nodded slightly.

Hong Xi frowned almost imperceptibly.

How could he subconsciously salute Yuan Yunzhong?Still be so respectful?

Hong Xi hurriedly straightened his back, put his ring-wearing hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "It's the flower viewing banquet hosted by Wensilou Boss."

He introduced Wensilou and Boss Wen to Yuan Yunzhong, and also specifically emphasized that Jiang Chun, the newly appointed parent officer in Liang County, would also go.

Yuan Yunzhong listened carefully.

Song Jiyun took the tea tray from the little maid and served Yuan Yunzhong a cup of tea himself.

Yuan Yunzhong thanked Song Jiyun, pointed to the chair behind Hong Xi, and said, "Sit down and talk."

The condescending tone made Hong Xi take a deep breath, and the hand behind his back couldn't help rubbing the jade ring between the index fingers with his thumb a few times, and then he refused with a smile: "No! It's getting late, It's time for me to go back too. See you on the day of the flower viewing feast."

He said the last sentence to Song Jiyun.

Song Jiyun didn't intend to have a deep friendship with Hong Xi, so he politely said "yes", and sent Hong Xi out with a smile.

Hong Xi found that Yuan Yunzhong hadn't followed, and when he stepped out of the flower hall, he couldn't help but look back.

Yuan Yunzhong was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, drinking tea with his head bowed.

On an autumn morning, the sun was warm, his eyes were lowered, and the profile of his face was sharp and sharp, sharp and cold.

Hong Xi felt cold inexplicably.

He hurriedly turned his head and strode away from the Song family. It wasn't until the chief executive of the Hong family helped him into the sedan chair that he felt his heart slowly warming up. middle."

He always felt that Yuan Yunzhong was too imposing.

The head of the Hong family was a little surprised, but he still agreed, hesitantly holding the car curtain with his hand and whispered: "You invited Miss Song to the flower viewing banquet, but Mr. Wen's invitation..."

Jiang Chun, the new parent official from Liang County, was only seen by some officials of Liang County's county government when the official seal was handed over.Immediately afterwards, there was a third-rank official from Guancheng who was in charge of Jiangxi. He and the former parents and officials from Liang County rushed to Nanchang Mansion overnight, and there was no time to hold the dust-cleaning banquet.

The flower viewing banquet in Wensilou was not only the first time Mr. Jiang appeared in Liang County, but also the first time that Liang County's prominent students and squires visited him. In order to be on the safe side, Mr. Wen did not entertain a big banquet, but repeatedly considered it. The number of people at the banquet was controlled within a certain range, and the list of participants in the banquet was also thought over and over again.

The Song family, because a woman is in charge of the house, was not on the banquet list.

Hong Xi leaned comfortably on the back of the sedan chair, slowly turned the ring between his fingers, and said with a smile: "With me here, are you still afraid that Miss Song won't be able to enter the door?"

Because of Heshan Academy, the Hong family got three invitations.

His grandfather did not return when he went out to visit friends, and his younger brother did not return from Suzhou.

The chief executive of the Hong family hesitated to speak.

What if Miss Song arrives before their young master?Or is it because something has delayed you for a while?

Hong Xi turned cold and said, "Go back!"

Manager Hong bowed and lowered the car curtain.

Song Jiyun turned back to the flower hall, Yuan Yunzhong was wandering among the pile of gift boxes.

Seeing her sizing up, he looked up at her, picked up the gift list placed on the red lacquered square table in the middle hall, opened it casually, and read: "Cao's green sandalwood leather rice paper ten knives; Ermatang Zihaohu brush Two boxes; two boxes of Huaqing Paste, two boxes of Ochre Paste, and two boxes of Cinnabar in Suzhou Sixutang; two boxes of Hehe Incense from Dinghui Temple; a pair of gold and silver carved three-turn exquisite balls, and twelve ivory plain yarn round fans."

If it was paper, pen and paint before, and it was related to painting, then it was all boudoir stuff.

Song Jiyun frowned secretly.

Yuan Yunzhong snorted coldly, and opened one of the brocade boxes.

Inside the brocade box are the pair of carved three-turn exquisite balls, one gold and one silver.

An art collector once gave Song Jiyun an exquisite ivory ball, made of gold and silver, this was the first time she had seen it.

She picked it up and looked at it carefully.

The exquisite ball is the size of a walnut and has two layers.The outermost layer is carved with broken branches of peonies, the second layer is carved with the pattern of the swastika, and the innermost is a small hollow.

Although it is incomparable with the exquisite ivory ball in her hand that is carved with nine layers of different flowers in terms of material and workmanship, the broker once told her that the exquisite ivory ball in her hand is pure Appreciate it, if you want to put spices, it is better to use gold or silver.

I don't know whether these two exquisite balls are made of gold and silver or gilded silver.

She fiddled with it curiously.

Yuan Yunzhong sneered: "That's it!"

Song Jiyun froze and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Yuan Yun said: "Is this for fun or for incense?"

Song Jiyun didn't understand.

Yuan Yunzhong said contemptuously: "Enjoy playing with the hands, burn people with incense."

If you think about it carefully, this is really the case!

He casually opened a brocade box next to him.

It is box lake pen.

There are flat head, round head, and pointed head. They are special brushes for painting. The green bamboo pen holder is also carved with patterns of auspicious clouds and green bamboos.

Song Jiyun was delighted to see Lie Xin, so he picked up a pointed Zihao brush and looked at it carefully.

Seeing Yuan Yunzhong, he also took a pen in his hand and weighed it.

"He bought this pen specifically for gifting, right?" He said indifferently, "There are carvings on the barrel of the pen, and he is not afraid that the person who uses it will hurt his hand!"

Song Jiyun looked up and saw him throw the pen back into the brocade box in disgust.

She said casually, "Maybe it's because the carvings on the barrel of the pen look good!"

Of course, Ermatang's pens are also famous.

"Really?" Yuan Yunzhong said expressionlessly, leaning against the square table, looking at her steadfastly, with a cold and arrogant expression, and a desolate figure like a green bamboo leaning on a jade stone, exuding bursts of coldness.

Song Jiyun could feel his unhappiness.

She was confused.

It's just a box of pens, so you can't be so angry, right?

But Yuan Yunzhong's constant air-conditioning could not deceive anyone.

Song Jiyun sighed helplessly from the bottom of his heart, and calmly said: "It's a good thing this pen doesn't have any special pattern, so it's good to give it as a gift at that time."

In the exchange of favors between big families, sometimes the things they give are similar, and they are often rearranged and then brought out as gifts.

"Oh!" Yuan Yunzhong responded noncommittally, but the coldness on his body could be felt fading a little bit.

Song Jiyun opened his eyes wide.

So, he was really angry just now!
She simply changed the subject, took the initiative to talk about Mr. Wen's flower viewing feast, and invited him: "Mr. Hong will make an appointment, and I said that I will go with you when the time comes. Are you free?"
