Chapter 76
On the opposite side, Big Gold Tooth squinted at the excitement, while Ji Yuxian sipped light wine, his movements were elegant, as if he didn't know anything about the daggers drawn beside him.Here Xiao Lie and Su Jiu came here purely to eat, Su Jiu thought the food was good and concentrated on eating, so Xiao Lie concentrated on serving her food.

Only Ruhua was sitting on a needle blanket, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty is joking, there are so many beauties in your mansion, how can the posture of the willows of the servant's family catch the Majesty's eyes? Your Majesty, stop playing tricks on the servant's family!"

Ji Yuxian glanced at the two people facing each other with vegetables, holding a cup of tea and pursing his lips into a smile, the smile was enchanting and bright, if the spring flowers bloomed in March, the tense atmosphere would dissipate like smoke,
"The prince likes Ruhua, but the son cuts his love and fulfills the prince!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and smiled at Ruhua, "My son is far less infatuated with girls than my son, so let Miss Ruhua go to my son's side!"

The blood on Ruhua's face faded, and she said in a daze, "My lord,"

Liang Shizi leaned lazily on the chair, and smiled lightly, "This son and Ruhua are just joking, the so-called gentleman does not take away people's love, not to mention that this son and the eldest son have a close relationship, how could they snatch the eldest son's woman?" ?”

Before Ruhua could put it down, Ji Yuxian said with a smile, "It's just a woman, the prince likes it, so of course it's for the prince, it's not worth fighting between you and me! Ruhua, be obedient, and serve the prince."

The last sentence, the voice is gentle, but with a sense of alienation and coldness, there is no doubt about it.

Ruhua's body trembled, she looked at Ji Yuxian with full eyes, she finally waited for the opportunity to be by Ji Yuxian's side, how could she give up,

"The slave family is the young master today, so he naturally wants to be by the young master's side."

"My people, why don't you listen to me? Go!" Ji Yuxian's slightly raised phoenix eyes were full of affection.

Ruhua never thought that the romantic and affectionate eldest son in everyone's eyes was so heartless, so she nodded and got up reluctantly, walked over slowly, and sat beside Liang Shizi.

Liang Shizi put his arms around Ruhua's shoulders, and raised his glass to Ji Yuxian, "Then I will thank the eldest son!"

"Your Majesty, you are welcome!"

Liang Shizi took a sip of the wine, then lowered his head and fed it into Ruhua's mouth. Seeing the woman blushing, he laughed heartily and continued,

"Actually, my son invited the eldest son to come here today. He asked the eldest son for something, but he robbed the son's woman. It's really rude!"

"Oh? Is there anything in Shengjing that the crown prince can't do?" Ji Yuxian said in a shallow tone.

Liang Shizi raised his hand to pour wine for Xiao Lie, and was about to pour another for Su Jiu, but was stopped by Xiao Lie, "Let's do as we please, Liang Shizi, let's entertain your guests!"

"Yes, yes!" Liang Shizi put down the jug respectfully.

Looking at Xiao Lie's noble and indifferent face, Ji Yuxian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liang Shizi then turned his head and smiled, "Master Qu, I think you know this shopkeeper. The election for the new president of the chamber of commerce is about to start, and shopkeeper Qu wants to be the president of this session. Say something to me, sir."

"Yes, yes, I would like to trouble the eldest son to condescend to go to the chamber of commerce and say a word for me." Da Jinya poured wine for Ji Yuxian with a flattering smile on his face.

Ji Yuxian leaned on the back of the chair, picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the wine stains on the corners of his lips, and smiled, "Your Majesty and Shopkeeper Qu were joking, the chamber of commerce was not run by Ji's house, how could it be up to me? If I could It’s up to you to decide, just become the president yourself!”

"The eldest son is too modest, who doesn't know that your Ji family doesn't even despise the president of the chamber of commerce, otherwise how can we have our share?" Da Jinya complimented.

"Shengjing Jifu and the Zhu family have never run for the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. We all know this. The eldest son also knows that shopkeeper Qu is the father of my seventeen-bedroom concubine, and he is also my father-in-law. Please invite the eldest son Give this son this face." Liang Shizi laughed.

Hearing this sentence, Su Jiu almost choked on a mouthful of beef, approached Xiao Lie and asked in a low voice, "How many concubines does Prince Liang have?"

Xiao Lie reached out to sip the sauce from the corner of Su Jiu's lips, and said softly, "The Nineteenth Room!"

In addition, there are more than ten male prostitutes in the mansion.

Su Jiu took a deep breath, and looked at Liang Shizi with a lot of admiration, "It's really rich!"

In her opinion, the more concubines she has, the richer she is.

Xiao Lie chuckled, put Su Jiu's favorite beef on her plate, and said calmly, "Don't worry about their business, eat yours, we'll leave when we're full!"

Come and not reciprocate!Su Jiu also picked up quick salmon and put it on Xiao Lie's plate, "This is good, you can eat it too!"

Ji Yuxian looked at the two people opposite, the smile in his eyes faded, he turned to look at Liang Shizi, and said with a smile, "Since Shizi has opened his mouth, I will go to the chamber of commerce to say hello, but can the chamber of commerce give Ji this Face is beyond my control."

Liang Shizi and Da Jinya smiled relieved, and quickly poured wine for Ji Yuxian, "As long as the eldest son is willing to pass on the word, no matter if it succeeds or not, I will be grateful!"

"Please!" Ji Yuxian took a sip.

Letting go of his worries, Da Jinya is now in the mood to drink and eat. He looked at Su Jiu and Xiao Lie, his eyes lit up. The two handsome young masters, especially the man in black clothes, have a dignified temperament. They must not be ordinary people. He hurriedly said with a smile , "Your Majesty hasn't introduced you yet, who are these two?"

Liang Shizi knew that Xiao Lie naturally didn't want to know these idlers, so he didn't introduce him to Da Jinya at first, but when he heard him ask, he stood up and said, "This is Mr. Xiao, this is Su Jiu, Su Jiu Son!"

Xiao Lie's face was calm, only Su Jiu held up his wine glass and smiled at Da Jinya, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Da Jinya hurriedly picked up the wine, looked at Su Jiu, and asked suspiciously, "Su Jiu? Could it be Master Su Jiu from Qingyuan Restaurant?"

Hearing this, Ji Yuxian suddenly looked up.

Su Jiuye?
Is she the Su Jiu master Yu Lao told him about?

How could she?

He thought that Su Jiu wore men's clothing today just on a whim, but it turned out to be more than that. During this period of time, his wife went out early and returned late every day, and it seemed that she was going to take care of the restaurant.

Su Jiu noticed the inquiring gaze from the other side, and cried out in her heart, wondering if Ji Yuxian had doubted herself?
Liang Shizi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Master Qu knows Mr. Su?"

"I've never met him before, but I've only heard about it. When I saw him today, he was indeed a handsome young man. I will offer another cup to Master Su Jiu, and I will take care of him in the future!" Shopkeeper Qu said politely.

Su Jiu had just arrived in Shengjing, and his foundation was unstable. How could he take care of Qu's shopkeeper who had a strong family in Shengjing?

Su Jiu knew it in her heart, and smiled generously, "Shopkeeper Qu is too modest, and I need to ask Shopkeeper Qu to take care of me in the future!"

"Of course, since Mr. Su is the son's friend, then we are also friends, and we will take care of each other and take care of each other in the future!"

After drinking for three rounds, Su Jiu was startled suddenly, remembering that Hu Dapao and Chang Huan were still waiting for her, she got up and went out.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Lie grabbed Su Jiu's wrist.

"Go pee!" Su Jiu made up an excuse.

Xiao Lie glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "I know a doctor who specializes in frequent urination, do you want to introduce him to you?"

Su Jiu stared at him, "..."

Every time she had to pee, Xiao Lie really wondered if she needed to see a doctor. Although she teased her, he was afraid that she would be taken to the men's room, so he got up and said softly, "I'll go with you!"

Ji Yuxian frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "The relationship between the two young masters is so good, they even have to go to the toilet together?"

Su Jiu didn't dare to look at Ji Yuxian's face, pushed Xiao Lie's hand away, and hurriedly walked out, "I'll come back as soon as I go!"

After finishing speaking, he opened the door and walked out quickly.

Liang Shizi stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao sit down first. Mr. Su is not a child, so why can't we find a latrine?"

Xiao Lie avoided Liang Shizi's hand indiscriminately, and sat lazily on the carved wooden chair, the corners of her lips curled into a smile that was not a smile, "Su Jiu just came to Shengjing, she is not familiar with many places, I naturally want to Care more!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, your friend is my friend, and I will protect Su Jiu from now on."

Xiao Lie's black eyes were deep, and his indifferent tone showed alienation, "Don't bother, I can take care of my own friends myself!"

Liang Shizi also noticed Xiao Lie's protection of Su Jiu, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, don't worry, Mr. Xiao, no matter how bold I am, I dare not touch your people!"

Xiao Lie's handsome face was calm, he sipped his tea and said nothing.

Liang Shizi also changed the topic with great interest, and began to drink and tease Ru Hua in his arms.

Ji Yuxian tapped the white jade wine cup lightly with his fingers, his lowered eyes were full of meaning, his surname was Xiao, which made Liang Shizi so respectful, he didn't even dare to call himself his son in front of this person, the identity of the man was already clearly revealed.

What about his wife, does she know the identity of this man?

Su Jiu went back to the former elegant room, and saw two girls, A Shuzheng and Furong Taohong, punching and laughing, and Chang Huan beside him went somewhere.

Seeing Su Jiu come back, Ah Shu raised his drunken eyes and smiled, "Master, where have you been? You've been there for so long?"

Su Jiu reached out to snatch the wine cup from his hand, and asked, "Where's Chang Huan?"

"Chang Huan?" Ah Shu was taken aback, looked around, then patted his head, "Chang Huan went to find the boss!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door squeaked open, Chang Huan walked in, and was overjoyed when he saw Su Jiu, "You are back!"

"Well, I met a friend and had a drink together. I have to go there later. Ah Shu drank too much, so you send him to the tavern to sober up before returning to Ji's Mansion." Su Jiu confessed in a calm voice.

"Oh!" Chang Huan responded, and asked, "Then why are you going back, Boss?"

"Don't worry about me! Ji Yuxian is in Zuihuan Pavilion, we can't let him see Ah Shu like this, hurry up!"

Maybe, now Ji Yuxian has become suspicious of them.

"Yes!" Chang Huan immediately stepped forward and put Ah Shu on his shoulders, and hurried out.

"Hong'er, Fu'er, master, I'll see you next time!" Ah Shu staggered, not forgetting to say goodbye to the two girls.

"Yes, sir, go slowly, the servant's house is waiting for you to come again!" The two girls also returned their greetings enthusiastically.

Watching Chang Huan bring Ah Shu downstairs, Su Jiu rewarded the two girls with a few taels of silver before going back to find Xiao Lie.

Back in the elegant room, Liang Shizi had already drunk too much, his eyes were hazy, and he asked Su Jiu to drink with him with a silly smile.

"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Shizi Liang and Young Master Ji, I will leave with Su Jiu first!" Xiao Lie got up, nodded slightly at Ji Yuxian, and led Su Jiu out.

"Mr. Su, wait a moment!" Ji Yuxian stood up and said with a smile, "It's just right, I should go back too, Shizi Liang and shopkeeper Qu have a slow chat."

"Young master, please go ahead!" Da Jinya got up and said goodbye with a flattering smile.

Liang Shizi got up with Ruhua, and said with a drunken smile, "Then let's meet again another day. I'm drunk, so go to Miss Ruhua's room to rest for a while!"

Ruhua's face froze, she subconsciously looked at Ji Yuxian, but saw that the man had already left the room without even looking at her.

Su Jiu was in the middle, Ji Yuxian and Xiao Lie were on the left and right, and the three of them walked downstairs slowly.

Ji Yuxian and Xiao Lie are tall and straight, one is handsome and enchanting, the other is handsome and cold, both of them are superior to others. Although Su Jiu is not as tall as them, she has a clear and pure temperament. The three of them walked down together. There was a sudden silence, and everyone looked sideways in amazement.

"Three gentlemen, go slowly, come back another day!" The old bustard hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and smiled to see off the guests.

As soon as they left Zuihuan Pavilion, Ji Yuxian and Xiao Lie's personal guards all followed up, and the carriage had already arrived at the door.

Ji Yuxian turned his head and said with a slight smile, "Young Master Su must be on my way home, why don't I give Young Master Su a ride!"

"Don't bother, I'll just send Su Jiu!" Xiao Lie's thin lips lifted slightly.

"No trouble, drop by, that's all! Isn't it, Mr. Su?" Ji Yuxian looked at Su Jiu with delicate eyebrows, and focused on the word "shun" in his tone.

Su Jiu nodded embarrassingly, "Yes! It is indeed on the way!"

She paused and looked at Xiao Lie, "Well, I'm going home first, goodbye!"

Xiao Lie's long eyes were deep, and he glanced coolly at her face, nodded, "Yeah!"

Su Jiu waved her hand, turned around and got into Ji Yuxian's carriage.

Watching the carriage start, Xiao Lie's dark eyes slowly narrowed, as if he was thinking about something, before turning around and getting into the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion.

It has been snowing for several days, and the snow on the long street has not yet melted, and the wheels are crunching on it.

The carriage was dyed with smokeless white charcoal, warm as spring, Ji Yuxian leaned lazily on the backrest, looked at Su Jiu who had a calm face, didn't know whether to be angry or a smile, curled his thin lips, and stretched out his hand to grab her arm With a little effort, Wei pulled Su Jiu into his arms.

Su Jiu's expression froze, and she subconsciously wanted to make a move, but she tried her best to hold back. Just as she was about to get up, her chin was suddenly pinched by a man.

With a three-point smile on Ji Yuxian's lips, his eyes were gentle, and he looked down at the woman in his arms, "Su Jiuye? We have been close for a month, and I don't know that Madam is a man. Why don't you test yourself now to see if Madam is a man or a woman?" ?”

Surrounded by the faint scent of clear water lotus, Su Jiu leaned his head on his shoulder, his eyes flickering, "It's just a disguise for the convenience of going out!"

"Really?" The man's voice was sexy and charming, and he looked straight into the girl's eyes.

The carriage swayed gently, Ji Yuxian leaned down, the eyes of the two were very close, and they could clearly see their own reflections in each other's eyes, the man's warm breath was on the girl's face, "That Mr. Xiao, how did Madam know each other?" ?”

Such a close distance made Su Jiu extremely uncomfortable, but the man put his arms around her waist with one hand and stroked her face with the other, and seeing how hard he was, she couldn't move.

"I met you on the street!"

on the street?

Ji Yuxian's eyes narrowed, his smile was half a smile, if just a random person could meet the prince on the street, wouldn't everyone in Shengjing become powerful?
However, Su Jiu's eyes were dark and piercing, but she didn't seem to be lying, nor did she seem to know Xiao Lie's identity.

The sky was getting dark, and the setting sun cast a light golden pink on the girl's face through the car curtain. Her eyes were pure, her skin was fair, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and a faint fragrance floated, refreshing. Ji Yuxian's gaze fell on her slightly pursed pink lips Up, with a deep gaze, slowly down.

Almost at the moment when her lips were about to meet, Su Jiu's eyes widened suddenly, and she said, "Don't move!"

"Huh?" The man's voice was hoarse and sexy.

Su Jiu looked into the man's eyes, raised her hand to squeeze the corner of his eyes, and then put her fingers in front of him,

"Look, what a big lump of shit!"

The ambiguous atmosphere dissipated immediately, and even the charming light became awkward. The smile on Ji Yuxian's lips froze, and his fingers tightened slightly on the girl's face. strangle this woman in my arms!
Su Jiu felt pain on his face, stretched out his arms to brush away the man's hand, took a step back and leaned against the car wall, flicked his fingers out of the car window, muttered with disgust,

"Not very clean, cut!"

Ji Yuxian couldn't keep the smile on his lips any longer, and his expression became extremely ugly for a moment.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Ji Mansion, the man got out of the carriage, and as soon as he flicked his robes and entered the gate, the smear of red disappeared as quickly as the last swipe of sunset in the sky.

Su Jiu walked slowly into the yard with a happy expression.

When Chang Huan came back, it was already dark, and A Shu stayed in the restaurant in a drunken sleep.

It just so happened that Su Jiu didn't have to go out these few days, and she didn't need Ah Shu to drive the car.

It was freezing and snowing, Su Jiu had dinner and had a conversation with Nanny Chang Huan around the stove, she gradually became sleepy, went to bed after bathing, had no dreams all night, and slept very peacefully.

In the morning of the next day, Su Jiu and Chang Huan were shooting birds with slingshots in the snow when the third wife, Ren Zhier, entered the yard.

Followed by two or three servant girls, they saluted gracefully, "I have met Young Madam in person!"

Su Jiu was wearing an emerald-colored smoky robe and a brocade fox fur cloak. She turned around after smelling her body, her black and white eyes swept across Ren Zhi'er's face, and said softly, "What are you doing here?"

Ren Zhi'er changed her arrogance that day, and smiled humbly, "The plum blossoms in the Qianmei Garden are all in bloom. I am here to invite the young lady to participate in the plum appreciation poetry meeting!"

Su Jiu turned her head away, leaving Ren Zhier a back view, and said coldly, "No!"

Ren Zhier was taken aback, she didn't expect Su Jiu to refuse so directly, she didn't even bother to find an excuse to refuse.

From Ren's house to Ji's mansion, she has never seen any kind of woman in the backyard, noble, tactful, hypocritical... Only Su Jiu has never seen such a clear dislike and like, and she doesn't even bother to say a perfunctory word .

However, Ren Zhi'er was ordered to come here, how could she go back so easily, took two steps forward, and her smile became softer, "Today not only the young lady and my concubine, but also the second lady and Miss Lan Zhihui, there are distinguished guests Come to the door, how can the young lady not go to receive it?"

"If you don't want to go, don't go, stop talking!" Chang Huan turned around and shouted coldly.

Ren Zhi'er was attacked by Chang Huan, she couldn't help taking a step back, her face was pale, her fingers tightly twisted the silk handkerchief, her silver teeth were biting secretly, when can even a servant reprimand her casually?

However, thinking of Xie Ying's vicious face if she hadn't taken Su Yuejiu away, she had to suppress the anger in her chest again. She glanced at the nanny walking towards her from the end of her eyes, and when she rolled her eyes, she immediately came up with an idea.

"Hello nanny!" Ren Zhi'er walked over with lotus steps, bent slightly, with a gentle expression on her face and a polite tone.

"The servant is terrified, and dare not accept the gift from the third young lady!" The nanny hurriedly helped Ren Zhi'er to stand up.

Ren Zhi'er supported the nanny's arm, her eyes were full, and she said softly, "Nurse, today the second lady is hosting a banquet in the Thousand Plum Garden, and I asked the concubine to invite the young lady to come. Maybe the young lady still has a grudge against the concubine. I am willing to go with my concubine. I did not invite the young lady, lest the second lady will blame me, and I am in a dilemma, so I asked the nanny to help me say a few words."

The nanny took a step back, bowed her head and smiled, "Our young lady is not in good health and can't stand the cold, please ask the third young lady to say something to the second lady, and our young lady will not go there!"

"Nurse!" Ren Zhi'er took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Today is the first family banquet for the Young Madam after entering the mansion. The Young Madam is the mistress, so how could she not attend, besides, there are distinguished guests coming, so let Mrs. Xie snatch it?" Outsiders don't know about Young Madam's limelight, and think that Young Madam has no place in the mansion at all."

"Which distinguished guest is coming?" asked the nanny.

"It's Lan Zhihui, Miss Lan! The eldest son has always valued the girl, if the young lady doesn't go, and the girl will be criticized if she waits too long, I'm afraid the son will be unhappy too!"

"This," the nanny looked at Su Jiu in the distance, her face hesitated.

"Nurse, to be honest, before the young lady entered the door, I was bullied by Mrs. Xie, so I was forced to be sent by her. Now that the young lady has entered the door, I still count on the protection of the young lady to stay away from Mrs. Xie's clutches. It's for the young lady's sake. If the young lady wants to secure her position as the mistress of the Ji Mansion, today's banquet must be attended!" Ren Zhi'er's eyes were sincere, and her tone was sincere.

The nanny didn't know that Su Jiu was the mistress of Ji's mansion. Su Jiu would definitely attend this kind of family banquet with elders and distinguished guests. She was just afraid that Su Jiu would say something wrong or couldn't help it for a while. I moved my hand, so I didn't want her to go.

After thinking for a moment, the nanny nodded, "Okay, Third Young Madam, wait a moment, and this servant will go and talk to Young Madam."

"Thank you, nanny!" Ren Zhi'er smiled gently, and waited for the nanny to find Yuejiu.

Su Jiu was squatting in the snow, waiting for a bird to come and throw a net, with a serious expression, as if she was ambushing thousands of troops.

The nanny shook her head and sighed, pulled Su Jiu's arm to stand up, bent down to wipe the snow off her cloak, and said helplessly, "If Miss is bored, you can learn from me as a girl, squatting in the snow in this cold weather what?"

"We caught the bird, let's roast it!" Su Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Amitabha, that is also a life, you should spare it!" The nanny chuckled lightly, put the cloak on Su Jiu's body, and said softly, "Today the second lady has a family banquet, miss, let's go over there!"

Su Jiu frowned, "Do you have to go?"

She really didn't want to stay with those women.

The nanny nodded, "Go!"

Su Jiu took a deep breath, "Then I'll go and come back soon!"

"Okay! Miss and I will go together. When we get there, no matter what others say, we must endure it. You must never do anything in front of the second lady, understand?" the nanny whispered.

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Okay, I'll bear it!"

The nanny nodded in relief, then turned to Chang Huan and said, "Put away these rope dustpans, Miss and I will go out for a while, Master Huan is waiting in the yard."

Chang Huan glanced at Ren Zhi'er in the distance, and said worriedly, "I want to go together too, lest they bully the boss!"

"No, if you go with me, you may cause trouble if nothing happens. If I follow Miss, nothing will happen!" said the nanny.

Chang Huan frowned and looked at Su Jiu.

"Listen to the nanny, you wait here, we'll go back as soon as we go!" Su Jiu gave Chang Huan a comforting look, and walked out of the yard with the nanny.

Ren Zhi'er was watching, seeing Su Jiu walking out, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed,

"Thank you young lady for your face."

Chang Huan watched Su Jiu go out of the courtyard, rolled his eyes, threw the rope in his hand, jumped, and disappeared among the flowers and trees like a civet.

Don't let him go, he won't go by himself!
Anyway, he must follow Su Jiu every step of the way!

The three of them walked all the way to Qianmei Garden, and when they entered the garden, they saw plum blossoms in full bloom, clusters like smoke and clouds, and the fragrance was overwhelming.

The breeze blows, the snow and plum petals fall together, carrying the fragrance, and the breeze, like entering the fairyland of Penglai.

Su Jiu was a vulgar person at first, so he didn't have any feelings for these romantic things, so he couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy at this moment.

After a few steps into the garden, she heard the laughter of a woman in front of her. Ren Zhi'er looked back and said with a smile, "The second lady must have arrived!"

Go along the bluestone path, turn around a few flower trees, and you will see an octagonal pavilion in front of you, with mahogany carved corridors, four-corner cornices, and light gauze dancing around with the wind. The beauties inside happen to be smiling, which is extraordinarily pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Su Jiu and the others approaching, the second lady stood up first, wearing a hibiscus-colored top with chrysanthemum patterns inlaid with pearls and gold, and a gold threaded satin skirt on her lower body, with a kind smile on her well-maintained face,

"It's Yue Jiu who is here!"

Su Jiu walked a few steps closer, lowered her eyes to say hello, "I've seen the second lady!"

"You don't need to be too polite, the weather is cold, come and sit in the pavilion!" The second lady took Su Jiu's hand and walked into the pavilion.

After going up the steps, I saw Xie Ying, wife of the second young lady, Chen Yuchan, wife of the fourth young lady, and an old acquaintance, Shangguanyu, sitting in the pavilion.

Stoves were lit around the pavilion, and as soon as he approached, he could feel the heat rushing towards his face. Only Xie Ying was wearing a fox fur cloak, but his face was paler than the others. With a smile, "I have seen the Young Madam in person!"

Chen Yuchan and Shangguanyu also stood up to greet each other, "I've met Young Madam!"

Shangguanyu lowered her head, her fingers tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand, as if it was about to tear it to pieces.

The second wife, Yan Yan, laughed and said, "This is a family banquet, and it's only for our own people. You don't have to be restrained, let's all sit down!"

"Yes!" Xie Ying and the others responded, without even looking at Su Jiu, they stood up and sat down.

Only Chen Yuchan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Su Jiu, and smiled softly, "Young Madam, please use tea!"

Su Jiu raised her eyes and smiled at her.

Chen Yuchan blushed with embarrassment, and immediately lowered her head.

"Every year at this time, we have to get together to have a family banquet. One is to enjoy the plum blossoms in the garden, and the other is to get to know each other. We all live in the same yard, so we don't want to be separated!" The second lady laughed. With a sound, he picked up the teacup and said, "This year when Yuejiu enters the door, let's replace wine with tea and toast Yuejiu!"

Chen Yuchan and Ren Zhier held up the tea cups, "Mrs. Young Master!"

Shangguan Yu curled his lips and smiled, and served the tea ceremony, "Second Madam, Yu'er is doing you a favor!"

"Yu'er's words are wrong, Yuejiu is your cousin, you should respect her!" The corner of the second lady's lips pursed into a smile, her eyes flickered, and her tone sounded like that of a kind elder.

Shangguanyu snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Xie Ying didn't say a word.

Su Jiu didn't care either, she just put the cup on the table after drinking the tea.

The second lady put the teacup by her lips, glanced sideways at Su Jiu and Xie Ying, and said with a smile, "A few days ago, I heard that you two had some misunderstandings, today I just took this opportunity to shake hands and say goodbye, and we will serve together in the future Cosine, regardless of each other!"

"Second Madam, what you said is a concubine. I am nothing but a concubine, how can I be indistinguishable from the Young Madam?" Xie Ying looked at Su Jiu with a smile on her face, "I don't dare to get close now. Young Madam, I'm afraid that if you accidentally say something wrong, you will be beaten again!"

Shangguanyu immediately interjected, "Look at what you said, is it possible that the young lady is a barbaric mountain woman who beats people at every turn?"

"Fuyang is thousands of miles away, and the customs of Shengjing are different. Who knows how to raise a daughter?"

The two sang together and ran against Su Jiu together. At this time, the second lady stopped talking, as if she didn't hear, she just lowered her head and drank tea.

Ren Zhi'er sat behind Xie Ying to watch the fun, gloating in her eyes.

Chen Yuchan kept her head down, occasionally raising her eyes to look at Su Jiu worriedly.

Su Jiu's hand holding the teacup slowly tightened, her knuckles turned white.

The nanny put her hand on Su Jiu's shoulder, and said with a soft smile, "It's not that it's a family banquet, it's not good for you two to talk about our young lady like this, besides, the second lady is still here, the two young ladies always give the second lady face."

Xie Ying raised her head and smiled coldly, "In Ji Mansion, the master speaks, there is no slave to interrupt!"

"Then what is the second young lady in front of our young lady?" The nanny asked gently with a humble face.

"You!" Xie Ying stared at the nanny with a cold light in her eyes.

Shangguanyu stood up, walked in front of the nanny, and said in a high-spirited voice, "In front of this lady, are you a slave or a master?"

The nanny lowered her head, "Naturally a slave!"

"Then Miss Ben will kill you slave!" Shangguan Yu shouted coldly, raised his hand and slapped the nanny's face.

Some of the people in the pavilion watched coldly, some gloated at their misfortune, some took a breath in fear...

Shangguanyu's arm suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his bones seemed to be crushed in severe pain. He turned his head to look at Su Jiu, and blurted out,
"You dare to stop me?"

Su Jiu pinched her elbow with the palm of his hand, exerted a little force, and heard the woman screaming loudly, "Ah, my hand is about to break!"

"Yue Jiu, let Miss Biao go!" The second lady hurriedly got up and shouted.

The nanny also grabbed Su Jiu's arm, "Miss, absolutely not!"

Su Jiu squinted her eyes and pushed hard. Shangguanyu was immediately pushed out, staggered a few steps, and sat on the ground with her buttocks on the ground. Her wrists hurt like they were about to break, and her buttocks also hurt, but she didn't dare to rub her in front of others. Rolling down, "Liuqin, quickly check if my hand is broken?"

The little maid rushed over and said in a panic, "Miss, miss, how are you?"

Su Jiu snorted coldly, "It can't be broken, it's just going to hurt for ten days and eight days!" After finishing speaking, her cold eyes swept over Xie Ying, and she said softly, "Since you know I can kung fu, don't provoke me, and ask for trouble." eat!"

Xie Ying's face turned pale, and she took a step back involuntarily, slowly clenched her palms under her sleeves, and looked at Su Jiu with poisoned eyes.

"Okay, okay!" the second lady said, "It's all from my family, why are you so tense. Liuqin, help your young lady up quickly, and pour her a cup of hot wine to calm her anger!"

"Yes!" Liuqin responded, helping Shangguanyu to stand up.

Shangguanyu's elbow was in unbearable pain, her face was pale, but her arrogance just now had disappeared a lot, she cast a vicious but wary look at Su Jiu, and sat down far away from her.

"What the second lady said is that today is for plum appreciation, and we all have to be happy!" Chen Yuchan softly persuaded, got up and poured tea for everyone.

It was quiet in the gazebo, only the patter of her pouring tea was heard, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Suddenly there were footsteps approaching from far to near, and the maidservant of Yijing Lanyuan quickly walked up to the pavilion, bowed and said, "Second Madam, Yuyifang sent someone to deliver the second batch of satin winter clothes this year, please go and pick them out." !"

"Oh, I see!" The second lady said lightly, got up and smiled, "You guys sit down first, I'll come when I go."

"Second lady, go slowly!" All the girls got up one after another.

The second lady had a gentle smile on her face. Just about to turn around, her gaze fell on the nanny behind Su Jiu, and she said with a smile, "There are a few pieces of Shu brocade in this batch of satin, and the fancy colors are all suitable for young women. Nanny might as well go with them." I'll go together and pick out a piece of satin for Yuejiu!"

The nanny smiled humbly, "Thank you for the kindness of the second lady, the silk and satin from Qifengyuan may be delivered tomorrow, so don't bother the second lady!"

"Why are you being polite? This satin should be sent to Xifengyuan first. These servants are ignorant, and they are used to sending it to me first! Let's go, if you don't get it, it's not too late to pick it tomorrow!" The lady is polite.

If the nanny refuses again, she will be a little uninterested, but she is really worried that Su Jiu is here alone.

The Second Madam and the servants of Jinglan Garden were waiting on the side, and the nanny only had to nod her head, then lowered her head and whispered a few words in Su Jiu's ear, and then followed the Second Madam out of the pavilion.

Along the way, the nanny kept turning her head. Once the second wife left, Xie and the others might run on Su Jiu again. She was afraid that Su Jiu couldn't help but make a move.

It wasn't until the pavilion was hidden by flowers and trees that the nanny sighed silently and left the Thousand Plum Garden.

As soon as the second lady left, Xie Ying and Shangguanyu looked at each other, their eyes full of calculation and complacency.

Xie Ying turned her head to look at Ren Zhi'er, and said in a low voice, "Go and see why Miss Lan hasn't come yet?"

Ren Zhier bowed her head immediately, "Yes, my sister will go right away!"

After speaking, he got up, left the gazebo, and walked out quickly.

"Young Madam, try this plum blossom cake. I made it early in the morning. Does it suit your taste?" Chen Yuchan was wearing a willow-green makeup and floral cloud satin dress. She was thin and looked fragile, holding a piece of plum blossom cake in her hand Put it in front of Su Jiu.

"Thank you!" Su Jiu picked it up, put it in her mouth and bit off half of it, raised her eyes and smiled, "Not bad, it's delicious!"

"Really?" Chen Yuchan's quiet eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had finally been recognized by others for something ordinary, her face was even flushed with excitement, she pursed her lips and smiled, "If you like it, my wife In the future, make more and send them to the young lady!"

"Yo! Sister Yuchan usually stays silent, so she's pretty good at flattering people! Just don't flatter the wrong person. If you learn those rude ways, be careful not to be kicked out of Ji Mansion!" Sitting opposite Xie Ying, she raised her eyebrows and said in a neutral tone.

Chen Yuchan suddenly turned her head in embarrassment, her face was flushed, she carefully raised her eyes to look at Su Jiu, shook her head and said softly, "I didn't."

Su Jiu put half of the plum cake in her hand into her mouth, and said with a grin, "Delicious is delicious, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Yes!" Chen Yuchan smiled and nodded slightly.

"Miss Biao, there is a saying that is really good. Fish look for fish, shrimps match shrimps, and the daughters raised by this small family can only talk when they sit together." Covering her lips with a silk handkerchief, she smiled lightly.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Su Jiu slapped the table with one palm, and the whole stone table trembled, and the plates on it jingled loudly.

Su Jiu glanced over with cold eyes, her face was filled with fierceness and fierceness, "What's the matter, do you still want me to do it, don't you? Who dares to talk nonsense, I slapped her mouth crookedly!"

Xie Ying's arm resting on the table trembled, and Shangguan Yu, who was about to open his mouth to agree with her, was taken aback in a daze, and looked at Su Jiu in horror.

Xie Ying had learned the lessons from the previous two times, and believed that Su Jiu would definitely do what she said, her face throbbed like a real slap, and she couldn't help getting up and taking a step back.

Seeing that the two closed their mouths, Su Jiu turned her head and pursed her lips to Chen Yuchan who was also startled, and stroked her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I usually don't hit women unless it's too loud!"

Chen Yuchan nodded blankly, "Oh!"

Shangguanyu and Xie Ying retreated to the edge of the pavilion, turned their heads, their faces pale, tiptoed towards the gate of the garden, hoping that Lan Zhihui would come soon, but they didn't believe it, she Su Yuejiu dared to hit Lan Zhihui.

Here, Ren Zhi'er left the Thousand Plum Garden and went straight to the main courtyard. After waiting for a while, Ji Yuxian and Lan Zhihui came out side by side.

Both of them are dressed in white fur, with handsome faces and unparalleled temperament. Standing together, they look like a pair made in heaven.

Ren Zhi'er couldn't help but her eyes turned red, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the soreness in her chest, and then she walked forward with a soft smile, gracefully, "I have met you, Miss Lan!"

Lan Zhihui nodded with a slight smile, "Third Young Madam!"

"Today the Second Madam held a family banquet in the plum garden, invited the girl to the banquet, and invited the girl to show her face!" Ren Zhi'er said gently.

Lan Zhihui lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said with a dignified smile, "Since it's a family feast, how dare I, an outsider, bother you? Just trouble the Third Young Madam to greet the Second Madam on my behalf!"

"Miss Lan is out. The second wife called for a concubine to invite Miss Lan. Miss Biao is also here. I hope Miss Lan will not refuse!"

"This," Lan Zhihui looked at Ji Yuxian in embarrassment.

"Who is in the plum garden?" Ji Yuxian asked.

"There are the second young lady, the fourth young lady, Miss Biao, the second lady, by the way, there is also the young lady!" Ren Zhier looked at Ji Yuxian with winking eyes.

But Ji Yuxian had already turned his eyes away, and his thin lips slowly opened a bewitching smile, and raised his hand to hold Lan Zhihui's wrist, "In that case, Zhihui, go over and sit down, I will go with you!"

Lan Zhihui raised her head and smiled brightly at the man, then nodded slightly, "Okay!"

Ren Zhi'er looked at the hands that the two held, she felt her eyes were pierced by the sun, but she still had a soft smile on her face, she bowed to one side, and waited for the two to pass before she followed Ji Yuxian.

 From today onwards, there will be no chapters, but the number of words will not be short.
