Di daughter war concubine

Chapter 42 The Radish Meeting

"On New Year's Eve, we should finish eating and play mahjong, and then sit on the wall and watch the fireworks together." Bu Tianyin dressed and changed under Yu Qi's service, and planned to attend the family banquet in Bufu.

New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion.

Bu Tianyin's most hated day, bar none.

"Miss, do you still want to play mahjong?!" Yu Qi exclaimed, and the hairpin in her hand almost poked Bu Tianyin's temple, but Nanzhi blocked it quickly so as not to hurt her.But the person who was almost hurt had a pity look on his face. He glanced at Nanzhi and said mournfully, "You might as well let her poke me so that I can't even attend the dinner party."

Bu Tianyin pinched the center of her eyebrows, this dinner must be too much to eat, and she has to fight wits and bravery with those unscrupulous things, thinking about it, it feels like a waste of emotion...

Yu Qi pinned the last flower hairpin to Bu Tianyin's head, and said righteously: "Miss, if the fourth master knows that you still have the bad habit of playing mahjong, he will have to lock you up again. If the master didn't intercede for you, You have to spend the festival in the ancestral hall now, let alone playing mahjong!"

Bu Tianyin said: "What's wrong with being in the ancestral hall? Everyone eats and celebrates in the front yard, but we fall out in the back and nobody cares!"

Yu Qi broke into a cold sweat.

Nan Zhi broke into a cold sweat.

"Miss, the master asked the servant to invite you to the front hall!"

A maid's sweet and submissive voice came from outside the door, Bu Tianyin sighed a few times, and then reluctantly followed her to the front yard under Yu Qi's urging.Nanzhi's identity was always an outsider, and he did not sign a contract of sale with Bufu. Bu Tianyin was worried that Zhang Ziyu would find trouble with her, so he asked her to stay in Wangtianlou, and gave her some snacks he bought earlier for entertainment, and talked for a while See what's delicious on the table and bring it back to her.

Looking at Bu Tianyin's leaving back, Nanzhi felt a strange feeling in his heart, like a long-lost touch.

She almost never tries to figure out other people's minds.In fact, she knows a few people; Yun Changge is her master, but he is impeccable and unpredictable, which she can't match; It was around Yun Changge; and this Miss Bu, although she got along with her during this period of time, she found that she was not as useless as the outside world rumored, on the contrary, she seemed to be smarter than ordinary people.

She is hiding.

Nanzhi couldn't figure out what she was thinking, nor could she see through her, but even so, she admitted that she still liked her very much in her heart, a young lady who was not like a rich young lady.She picked up two sugar balls from the plate on the table and slowly put them to her lips.Suddenly the flame of the candlestick swayed without wind, Nanzhi caught a glimpse of the cold light stabbing behind him, a figure came in from the window, Nanzhi turned around, and greeted him empty-handed!

At this time, the front hall is brightly lit, with red lanterns hanging everywhere, and the air is full of strong New Year flavor...

Those are incense candles for blessings, sweet rice cakes, window grilles for Spring Festival couplets, and the smell of fireworks all over the city.

Bu Tianyin entered the front hall, and was not surprised to see a table of sumptuous New Year's dishes, and a table of "relatives" whose eyes were all on her.

Bu Mingshu took the lead, looking at her with longing eyes, he hadn't seen her for more than a month, and he heard that she got into trouble again;
Zhang Ziyu sat at the place closest to Bu Mingshu, beside him was Bu Tianfeng who waved when he saw Bu Tianyin, but there were no empty seats beside them;

The upper right and upper left are the second uncle Bu Hongchang and the third uncle Bu Zihua, and the bottom ones are Zhao Shi, Bu Pingting, Bu Xiaochan, and Bu Zihua's wife Cheng Shi.

The only remaining empty seat is the last one in front of Bu Tianyin.Bu Tianyin glanced at everyone at the table one by one without showing any emotion. This arrangement was definitely not instigated by her father and fourth uncle. The two-year-old second uncle took care... As expected, Bu Hongchang smiled at Bu Tianyin knowingly, with provocative intentions in his eyes.

Is this a blow to her?Her majestic eldest daughter shouldn't sit at the bottom no matter where she sits!This is really a gathering of heroes and carrots for a meeting, and she won't even be given a good pit!
Bu Tianyin lowered her head in a gentle and polite manner, and after saluting to the elders, she was about to pick up the nearest seat at the bottom, when suddenly she tripped over something, and fell to the ground in front of her, Bu Mingshu stood up from the chair, Zhang Ziyu's green shirt flashed by, and he was already firmly supporting Bu Tianyin. While pretending to blame her for not being careful, he naturally helped her between him and Bu Mingshu. Added a chair.Zhang Ziyu secretly smiled at Bu Tianyin, and Bu Tianyin gave him a "I understand" look.

Mrs. Zhao pinched Bu Hongchang under the table calmly.

"Everyone, don't be too polite, move your chopsticks!" Bu Mingshu has always been a gentle person. He can only sit down and eat with his family on New Year's Eve. If he is lucky, the granaries all over the country will be fine. He can also stay at home for two more days.However, such opportunities have been rare in recent years. The Bu family's granaries are all over the country, but every few days there will be troubles of varying degrees. The time he can stay at home is getting less and less.

During the banquet, everyone was pushing cups and changing glasses, saying pleasantries on the surface, but each had their own thoughts in their stomachs.Bu Tianyin kept giving Bu Mingshu and Zhang Ziyu cloth dishes, and Bu Pingting saw all this in her eyes, and kept making eye contact with Mrs. Zhao.Bu Xiaochan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly got up, raised her glass, and said to Bu Tianyin: "Eldest sister has been back for such a long time, and Xiaochan has been sick in her boudoir, and has no chance to see elder sister. Xiaochan punishes herself with a drink, please forgive me! "

Bu Xiaochan raised her glass and drank it down.

Bu Xiaochan is the daughter of Bu Hongchang who was a concubine. Her mother passed away not long after giving birth to her. Bu Hongchang took pity on her for her frailty and kept her in a small courtyard. She has nothing to do with Bu Tianyin.This act was so strange and abrupt that Bu Tianyin had to be skeptical.

Bu Tianyin's mind turned rapidly, nodded to her, and slowly raised the wine glass, but the hand that raised the glass bumped into Bu Tianfeng, who was eager to reach for the plate of steamed fish in the distance, and the wine in the wine glass spilled on On a plate of cold dishes in front of him, Bu Tianyin was startled, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, Tianfeng, why are you so careless? The wine is all spilled, come here, give me another glass!"

Bu Tianfeng's hand holding the chopsticks was stiff, he didn't touch her at all, okay?

Bu Hongchang's complexion changed, and Mrs. Zhao tugged on his sleeve secretly, signaling that he was fine.Since she can tamper with one glass of wine, she can naturally tamper with the second and third glasses.

The servants waiting on the side immediately changed a new cup for Bu Tianyin, and at the same time removed the plate of cold dishes that she had spilled the wine on.Such a small episode happened, and no one seemed to notice that Bu Tianyin didn't drink the wine in the glass.

Bu Pingting got up gracefully, and said to Bu Mingshu, "Pingting is grateful for uncle's care, and I will keep it in my heart." Then she said to Bu Zihua, "Third uncle and Pingting are not very close, but Pingting I still admire the outstanding talent of the third uncle!" Finally, he said to Zhang Ziyu: "The same goes for the fourth uncle, Pingting has been taught by the fourth uncle for many years!" After speaking, she drank it on her back.

Bu Tianyin's face was always hidden by Zhang Ziyu's side. Hearing Bu Pingting's words, an unpredictable smile appeared on his face.

Her eldest daughter is still there, and they can't wait to respect this one and that one, as if she doesn't know much about things.Bu Tianyin turned the wine glass between her fingers boredly, thinking it was very funny.The leg under the table raised her foot and kicked Bu Tianfeng, who stood up suddenly, and was about to ask angrily, "Who kicked me?" But Bu Tianyin who stood up with her blocked her back. Picking up his wine glass and stuffing it into his hands, he said to everyone at the banquet: "Tianyin's headache is not getting better today, so let Tianfeng offer a toast to everyone on my behalf."

After saying that, he gently pushed Bu Tianfeng, and said to him with the shape of his lips: "Drink!"

Bu Tianfeng didn't know what she was going to do, but when he thought of the ten-day ancestral hall where she knelt for him, even though he was released before he finished kneeling, he still felt a little guilty in his heart, so he didn't say anything, Lifted his glass and drank it clean.

During the banquet, Bu Pingting and Bu Xiaochan took turns finding various excuses to persuade them to drink, but Bu Tianyin shied away with various reasons, the feast ended, and Bu Mingshu drank a little too much, staggering Being helped back to the room by the servants, Bu Tianyin sent Yu Qi back first, while she and Zhang Ziyu strolled in the backyard path, occasionally saying a word or two.

"Fourth Uncle, I'm not sure if there's something wrong with alcohol. They don't dare to blatantly take poison, but it's still possible to prescribe other drugs. Besides, it's definitely not normal for Second Uncle's family to persuade me to drink like this."

Zhang Ziyu shook his head and said: "Second brother has been in the Bu family for more than ten years, and he has done a little bit of work. In recent years, he has frequent contacts with the Chunyu family. I know from the intercepted letters that he has something to do with the Chunyu family. Collusion, vain attempt to annex the property of the Bu family. Your father is a man of friendship, and I can hide it here if I can, and let's talk about it when the paper can't hold the fire!"

Bu Tianyin nodded, and also felt that Bu Hongchang's brain could not make any big troubles. On the contrary, his sense of presence was not very strong. The third uncle, who had never expressed his attitude, was more interesting to her.

Zhang Ziyu guessed what she was thinking, and said: "Your third uncle is quite intelligent. He was taken captive by bandits to the capital, and he escaped from the bandit's lair to join your father alone. This person should not be underestimated. It's just that I haven't found out what he has in mind..." He paused, then suddenly smiled at Bu Tianyin, his eyes full of doting: "Tianyin, I finally have someone to plan for in the future, your father Ah, these years have allowed me to indulge in business, and my heart has gradually deteriorated, becoming more and more merciless. I used to carry these things by myself, and now, you have finally inherited your mother's wisdom... ...Let me feel at ease."

Since that night, they have had a long talk by candlelight.He told her about her mother's life, which was regarded as a strange woman. Although he avoided the important things, he tried not to mention his own years as much as possible.But the natural emotion in his eyes when he spoke made her feel deeply that the relationship between Zhang Ziyu and her mother was extraordinary, and she was indeed a trustworthy person!

"Tianyin, would you like to be my fourth uncle...a friend?" Zhang Ziyu asked cautiously, unlike his usual vigorous and vigorous style.

Bu Tianyin was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and smiled at him. Although half of her face was frightening, the smile in her eyes was like a hundred flowers blooming!

She took his arm and said with a smile: "Then fourth uncle, don't always teach me in such an old-fashioned tone in the future, I don't have such an old 'friend'!"
