Rebirth of the First Class

Chapter 62 Happy birthday (3)
Mrs. Xu couldn't care less about her mother's attitude, so she became anxious and stepped forward and said, "Le Qian and Le Ying always want to see Xi Zhao, see, mother, can you let Xi Zhao come with me..."

Before he finished speaking, a little maid came in and said, "Ma'am, Marquis Changping is here to celebrate his birthday."

Wei Xizhao saw that the eyes of those ladies were all brightened, and they all looked towards the door.She couldn't help laughing, it turned out that it was fake that they came to celebrate their birthday, but it was real to come to see Ji Qingcheng.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help laughing when she saw this situation, and ordered: "Please also invite all the ladies to avoid behind the screen, I think the Marquis won't sit for a long time."

A dozen or so little girls seemed a little disappointed, turned around unwillingly, and walked behind the eight screens placed on the east and west sides of the flower hall.

Wei Xizhao also went to the screen on the east side to take shelter temporarily, and when he saw the embroidered pier, he sat down casually, while the ladies who came in in front of her stood close to the screen, as if they were deliberately waiting to steal. Take a look.

After a moment of silence in the flower hall, a series of respectful salutes sounded.

Afterwards, Mrs. Xu said: "Master Hou is here, it is really a great blessing for me."

"It's Madam Tai's birthday, how can I not come to congratulate you." Ji Qingcheng's voice was mellow and gentle, "This is my wish, I wish Madam Tai good luck and good health every year."

Then someone couldn't help laughing, "Master Hou's congratulatory speech is exactly the same as Miss Caiwei's just now." Then he added on purpose, "Could it be that we have been under the same roof for a long time, and the words are similar ?”

Wei Xizhao blushed, it was such a coincidence, and he admired the person who spoke... It is not everyone who can say or dare to say something that makes so many people with their own minds unhappy after hearing it.Immediately, she felt that the atmosphere was not right, and when she looked up, the gazes of several young ladies focused on her face, some were envious, some were jealous.Wei Xizhao secretly smiled wryly, it was just the same sentence, what about it?

Ji Qingcheng over there smiled lightly, "Why, the Miss Wei family is here too? I really didn't expect it."

Mrs. Xu asked back: "Why did Lord Hou say that? Recently, I heard that Lord Hou asked Xi Zhao to help with some small things. Could it be that today's old man's birthday delayed Lord Hou's affairs?"

Ji Qingcheng immediately replied: "Ma'am, I was too worried, but I didn't expect that the eldest lady would come. She is very skilled in chess, and she made an appointment to play chess at Sishi yesterday. Since I came to celebrate my birthday, I can't avoid it."

When Wei Xizhao heard Ji Qingcheng's out-of-the-box words, he lowered his head and decided not to look at the eyes of the ladies, not to make himself unhappy.

Mrs. Xu laughed and joked: "Listen to what Hou Ye said, didn't you make up your mind early in the morning that you won't stay for a long time."

Ji Qingcheng gave a good reason: "Until the official business is finished, it is natural not to have close contact with the officials of Longcheng. Sitting for a long time will easily lead to gossip."

At this time, Mrs. Li answered, "Your Majesty has a passion for playing chess, where is it not possible? Even if you play chess all day in Xu's mansion, no one else can say anything. If this is the case, the concubine and all the ladies will also You can feast your eyes and see who is superior. Mrs. Tai, is that what you said?"

"It's just that you are good at tricks, and you always do such things that are icing on the cake and you can earn benefits." Mrs. Xu laughed very happily, and then asked Ji Qingcheng, "Master Hou thinks this flower hall is not too shabby, right? ?”

Ji Qingcheng murmured: "I don't think it's wrong..."

"That's good." Mrs. Xu said, "Xi Zhao played chess with Lord Hou, so all the ladies from the other family should come out to see Lord Hou, so as not to hurt my daughter's heart by saying that Lord Hou treats one more than another, and that it is in Laoshen's place. The old body will definitely not do it."

His words made everyone laugh again.

Hearing this, a dozen or so ladies filed around the screen to meet Ji Qingcheng.

Ji Qingcheng saw Wei Xizhao at a glance.

Plain soft satin pink and white embroidered begonia flower begonia, same color soft satin moon skirt.The upper garment has a narrow waist and wide sleeves, making the figure more slender and light.She has a beautiful face with a thin layer of makeup, her face is like a peach blossom, and her hair is as blue as a crow.

She stood there, seemingly calm and calm, but it made him feel that she was as light as a peach blossom, and a gust of breeze could take her away.

The more crowded the place, the more she stands out.No one can imitate or replace that independent temperament.

Wei Xizhao glanced over Ji Qingcheng, and saw that he was wearing a black robe with cross-collared sleeves, which was a bit more dignified than before. Even with a smile on his lips, he still had a sense of alienation that could only be seen from a distance.

Seeing Wei Xizhao looking over, Ji Qingcheng smiled.

Did this person come here to rescue him?In view of the fact that these ladies came here for him, Wei Xizhao never dared to think that he came here specially for him... That would be too much for him, he is not an idler with nothing to do.

The dexterous servants were ready, and respectfully invited the two to sit down.

Ji Qingcheng took his seat first, and picked up a white piece, "Three rounds will determine the winner and loser, and it's all for Mrs. Tai to cheer up."

Mrs. Xu relaxed her posture, leaned on the openwork chair, and looked at the chessboard, "This birthday is really special, and this kind of blessing is the most important gift I got."

Wei Xizhao sat down, feeling a little nervous.It is really the first time in my life to discuss winning or losing with others in front of everyone.Losing is too ugly, no; winning is too beautiful, no.Even winning or losing is not appropriate.

She couldn't help but slander: How can he help here?Obviously, he created a huge problem for himself.Maybe he had good intentions and wanted to keep himself in front of everyone, nothing would go wrong.But if he doesn't come, it's much easier to deal with it by yourself.

Ji Qingcheng suggested that the time limit for a game of chess should be half an hour, and Wei Xizhao naturally had no objection.

For those who are focused on watching chess, such as Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Li, it is a rare and pleasant situation at this time; for those who have other thoughts, such as Mrs. Xu and the ladies of various families, it seems a bit boring at this time.

I don't know which lady it is from, she said in a low voice: "Master Hou's scar seems to be newly added?"

"Yes," someone replied in a low voice, "I don't know who killed a thousand swords, and did the crime."

When Wei Xizhao heard this, he almost couldn't sit still.Looking up at Ji Qingcheng, he didn't seem to hear it, his face was serious, and he was concentrating on the chess game.The scar was actually not too much of an eyesore, and it healed and became invisible after a few days.Let's focus on what's in front of me, she calmed down and tried to ignore the movement in the flower hall.
