Two days later, Jin Quanda invited his guests.Another day later, it was the peony meeting held by Jin Fengju and his wife.At first, I planned to invite them one by one.Later, some customers really couldn't double invite.Therefore, there are also double invitations, and there are also single invitations.In their Western-style living room, many large dining tables are joined together to form an English U shape.The table was covered with a water-red tablecloth, and there were many vases for peonies.Outside the hall, on the flower beds in the yard, there are bright red, water red, and silver peonies in full bloom, all of which are as big as plates; among the green leaves, they are held one by one, which is very beautiful.In addition, under the eaves of the corridor and in the living room, there are many porcelain pots filled with peonies of various colors.On the door, on the beams, on the windows, and in the temporary beggar factory, there are many flower stands, and peonies are everywhere.It is surrounded by thousands of flowers, and everyone is in the fragrant bushes.On the living room building, there are also peonies everywhere.The floor in the middle was wiped clean for everyone to dance.In the two rooms, there are two red sandalwood tables in a row, and on one side are biscuits, cheese, milk cakes and other snacks.On one side are soft drinks, beer, coffee and other beverages.A team of Russians was invited on the platform, where they were preparing to play Western music.Feng Ju is a member of the diplomatic circle, and the most important thing is face.I specially arranged a few beautiful servants at home; they wore the special uniforms made by the family, a blue bamboo cloth double-breasted long gown with white edges rolled all over them; all of them had their hair cut and shaved, and let them have some beautiful elements.Needless to say, Fengju and his wife were wearing very fashionable suits.Yanxi also wore a regular dress, her hair and leather shoes were all visible.There is a fresh rose on the collar, matched with the red bow tie, it is obvious at a glance that he is a young man with hobbies.He was entrusted by his eldest brother and sister-in-law to entertain everything upstairs and downstairs.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the guests gradually arrived.Most of the men are suits, and most of the women are robes.Especially the clothes of the female guests are red, yellow, blue and white, colorful and dazzling, which cannot be described in words.Bai Xiuzhu also came today, wearing a ginkgo-colored satin gown with glittering printed satin, with a sweetheart collar cut out, and a water-red chiffon shirt in front of her breasts.On the top of the shirt, there is another string of beads, which is really gorgeous.In her opinion, on the one hand, it is to show off, and on the other hand, it is also to show Yanxi.But a lover's eyesight is uncertain, when the love is strong, the lover is everywhere beautiful.When love is weak, beauty is everywhere.Originally, Yanxi had already regarded Xiuzhu as usual, and with the fact that the two had quarreled a few days ago, Yanxi was even more indifferent to Xiuzhu.At this time, since Yanxi was the host and Xiuzhu was considered a guest, the two of them would not talk about their usual friendship, so Yanxi should go to entertain.But as soon as Xiuzhu came in, she saw Yanxi here, so she pretended not to see her, and greeted the other guests, thinking that Yanxi must be entertaining her with her qualifications.Unexpectedly, Yanxi didn't pay attention to it as if she didn't see it.Those male and female guests went upstairs one after another, some sat and talked, some stood in two or three people and laughed together, and some drank soda in the west room.Yanxi went upstairs with the others, and he immediately saw Ms. Qiu Xizhen who borrowed movie magazines.She was wearing a light red suit, and her short hair was braided with beads. She was exquisite and translucent, and she often had two small smiles on her face.At this time, she was standing beside a pot of the largest peony flower, putting her face close to the peony flower, to smell the fragrance of the flower.Yanxi stepped forward, and softly called from behind: "Mi Siqiu." Qiu Xizhen looked back, nodded with a smile and called Qi Ye.Yanxi laughed and said, "I'm the seventh. It's calculated according to male and female brothers. Few people know about it. How does Mi Siqiu know?" Xizhen laughed and said, "I often come to your house, so I know the situation in your house very well, do you think it's strange?" Yanxi said: "It's not strange at all. Just because Mi Siqiu knows about her family, she's not an ordinary friend." Xizhen laughed and said, "It's like People like me can only be regarded as ordinary friends." Yanxi smiled and said: "This is a polite word." Xizhen said: "Only if you are an ordinary friend, can you say polite words." The two of them stood here talking , determined not to care about other things.Poor Miss Bai Xiuzhu, who came here today full of mystery, intending to make peace with Yanxi by some tricks.He Shi did not make a good deal, seeing his lover standing here talking and laughing with a girlfriend, he was trembling with anger, as if he had taken some bitter medicine in his heart, he felt a burst of soreness, until he fell to the ground. Throat down.So he called the waiter, poured a cup of coffee, sat on the side, and drank slowly.But there are twenty or thirty male and female guests upstairs, everyone is disturbing and huddled together, all smiling, who knows that there is a frustrated person here?

After a while, the Russian over there was tuning the strings of the violin.When everyone heard this sound, they knew that the music was about to be played, and they all went to find their dancing partners.At that time, Yanxi also smiled and said to Xizhen: "Mi Siqiu's dance must be very good?" Do you have a partner?" Xizhen said: "I'm not very good at it." Yanxi said: "Can Mi Siqiu dance with me?" Xizhen raised her eyelids, glanced at Yanxi, her white arms were exposed , crossed and twisted, shrugged with a smile, and said, "You can't dance well." Yanxi said, "You can't dance well, and I can't dance well either. Why don't both of you do well? Let's dance together together." What about it?" When he said that, the music outside the platform was already playing.Unknowingly, Qiu Xizhen stretched out her hand to hold Yanxi's, and leaned forward slightly, but her head was not far from Yanxi's shoulder.So Yanxi hugged Xizhen with one arm, and started dancing in the crowd in keeping with the time.Among the male and female guests here, those who can't dance are the fewest, so only a few people are left in the west room, drinking coffee and eating snacks.The other 18 couples of men and women, surrounded by flowers, embraced each other, passed through, walked around, and surrounded each other.There are a few people here who didn't participate in the dance, including Bai Xiuzhu. She sat on the side, unable to contain the anger in her chest, and just drank soda.Seeing Yanxi and Qiu Xizhen dancing together, this one was full of joy, the other was friendly, it was impossible to interfere, and I couldn't help not interfering, so I had no choice but to turn around and go downstairs.At this time, Wu Peifang was also dancing with a friend of Fengju in the crowd.Seeing Yanxi and Xiuzhu's situation with a cold eye, I also feel that it is not good.At this time, Xiuzhu went downstairs again with an angry face. She was afraid that there would be a conflict, but she repeatedly looked at Yanxi and told him not to dance.Yanxi is in high spirits, where is she willing to stop?Just when the music stopped and everyone stopped dancing, Peifang hurried downstairs to find Xiuzhu.Knowing that she would not go far for a while, she must have gone to find her cousin Wang Yufen.It turned out that Peifang and the others were three sisters-in-law, Yufen couldn't dance, and Huichang didn't like it, so they didn't participate.Peifang chased her all the way to Yufen's room, only to see Xiuzhu sitting there, her eyes were red, as if she had been greatly wronged.Peifang said: "I don't know why Mi Sibai came here? I came here specially to find you." Xiuzhu said: "There are too many people there, it's weird. I'm here to talk to Sister Yufen." Peifang smiled and said: "Don't blame me, you are a person who likes to be lively the most, how can you be afraid of getting bored, don't you think my master is not entertaining well?" Yufen curled her lips and said: "The young couple are making trouble It’s been awkward for a few days, don’t you know?” Pei Fang pretended to be vague and asked, “Really? I don’t know at all. I saw Lao Qi dancing there with a smile on his face It doesn't look like he is angry." Yufen said: "Who is he dancing with?" Peifang said: "That Miss Qiu." Yufen threw her hand away and said, "Then what are you talking about! Today he is a Master, when my best friend came, not only did she ignore her, but she wanted to go dancing with a biological friend, isn't that intentional? How can I let it go for the sake of others?" Yufen didn't say anything, so After saying a few words, Xiuzhu's mind was aroused, she raised her nose a few times, and before she knew it, she fell down on the small tea table and started to cry.Peifang blamed Yufen and said: "It's all because you have nothing to say, which caused people to be sad." Yufen laughed and said, "She has been wronged very much, why don't you let me say a few good things to her?" Peifang Then he stepped forward and grabbed Xiuzhu's arm and said, "Hey! This big girl, don't act like a child." He lifted her head and face, and took his handkerchief to wipe her tears.Xiuzhu tilted her head, pushed her hand and said, "Don't make trouble." Peifang smiled and said, "Oh! This young lady is acting like a baby with me. Come on, let me have candy." After hearing this, Xiuzhu put the two together One arm was lying on the table, the forehead rested on the arm, and he refused to look up.Yufen said: "It's still crying, it depends on the face of the master." Peifang said: "Nonsense, people are laughing, you say she is crying. If you don't believe me, I will help you up and show you." Use your hands to support Xiuzhu's head.Xiuzhu lowered her head, refusing to lift it up.Peifang said: "If you don't raise your head, I'll tickle you." Xiuzhu heard the sound of tickling, clamped her arms, and dodged to the side, giggling, pouting and saying: "We all bullied me." Yufen said, "What's the matter? We all bullied you, did I bully you too? I'll tickle you too." Peifang grabbed her hand and said, "Stop messing around here, let's go." Come on, everyone is about to sit down." Xiuzhu couldn't help herself, and walked out of the room with her.Xiuzhu said: "Don't hold me back, I'll just go." As soon as Peifang let go, Xiuzhu went into the room again.Peifang said: "Hey! What's the matter, are you still angry?" Xiuzhu rubbed her hands together and then brushed her face.Peifang said: "Oh! I didn't pay attention." She followed Xiuzhu all the way to Yufen's hairdressing room.First let go of the hot and cold water pipes on the washbasin stand for her, and then let her wash her face first.Turning back, Xiuzhu faced the vanity mirror, applied a layer of powder, then found a small comb, and combed her hair.After everything stopped, he stood between the two full-length mirrors, looked from head to toe, and then looked at the back of the double mirror in the mirror.Peifang said: "Okay, let's go." So she took Xiuzhu's hand and walked all the way to the living room.

At this time, Western music was playing upstairs, and the third dance was being held.The ladies in Chinese clothes are nothing more than gorgeous. There are only a few in suits, the upper body is only protected by a layer of tulle, and a large section of white flesh on the chest and back is exposed.The lower body is wearing thin stockings, which also shows flesh red.Only the middle layer is covered by the lotus leaf wrinkled skirt.All those men who join in the dance feel that Chinese women wear short skirts with too long skirts, and when dancing, they reduce the lower half of their posture.It is more convenient to wear long clothes and start dancing, but the waist and limbs do not show their original shape and lose their curves.So everyone advocates dancing with women in suits.One is the hands that hug the waist, you can caress the other party's skin that is crisp and snowy, and the other is that you can get close to appreciate the beauty of the body.Even if he can't dance with a woman in a suit, his eyes are still fixed on her.Since Xizhen was wearing a suit and was pretty, Yanxi danced with her once and then danced with her a second time.Xiuzhu went upstairs and saw the two of them still together, she was still angry.At this time, there were two people standing there waiting for their dance partner.They are all Fengju's colleagues.One is Huang Bifa, who came with his concubine.His aunt is dancing with others.A Xia Luyou, but he is alone.Huang Bifa faced Peifang with a smile and said, "Miss Wu, can you dance with me?"Peifang felt that people should not be left alone, so she introduced Xiuzhu to Huang Xia and Huang Xia, and then went to dance with Huang Bifa.Xia Luyou bowed slightly to Xiuzhu, and asked with a smile: "Miss Bai willing to dance with me?" Xiuzhu's original intention was that she didn't want to dance with strangers.But today I was really angry, and I thought, since you danced with others in front of me, I will also dance with others in front of you.So he agreed and said: "Yes." He hugged and joined the dance team.Yanxi saw it from the side, and secretly smiled inwardly.Thinking: You think this is revenge on me and can make me angry.I really don't care what you do.

After the dance this time, everyone went downstairs and took their seats.Pairs of men and women sit mixed together.Yanxi happened to be sitting side by side with Qiu Xizhen again, so at such a large table, each of them naturally talked to the people nearby.So Yanxi and Xizhen also had the closest conversation.Fengju and his wife looked up and saw thousands of flowers surrounded by jewels and jewels.The guests present, regardless of gender, were all smiling, and the room was full of joy.This pair of protagonists and mistresses are also very happy.The people present were more or less foreign, so someone stood up at the table, held a glass of wine high, and said, "Let's drink this glass of wine and wish the couple's health." Everyone Standing up at the same time, they drank a cup together.At the host's house, there was plenty of wine, and everyone drank desperately.The female guest had a drink or two, and her face was already red, most of it was fine.Otherwise, the male customers would drink three or four glasses of wine if they were extremely useless.The rest of the champagne drinkers, the brandy drinkers, and the whiskey drinkers did what they liked.

As the saying goes: "Wine covers three points of shame." Once everyone finishes drinking, men and women hold each other's loved ones, and chat and laugh under the peony flowers.Yanxi took Xizhen's hand, first sat and talked for a while on the stone slab on the peony flower platform.Then he said: "Mi Siqiu, you want to read movie magazines, and I have sent a lot of them. These issues are even more exciting, and there are many photos of movie stars on them." Xizhen said happily: "Great, I am just now I want to borrow it with you again." Yanxi said: "Then, please go and sit in my study." So she led her and went to the study with Xizhen.Xizhen leaned over on the sofa chair, picked up a small book, and fanned it a few times in front of her chest.Looking at Yanxi, she smiled and said, "Drink too much, and I feel dry." Yanxi also sat down on the sofa by the way, and said, "Mi Siqiu, your drinking capacity is not bad. There are so many people today, you can't drink well." Drink, I plan to invite Mi Siqiu to the German restaurant for a drink or two tomorrow, I don't know if I will give you the credit or not?" Xizhen laughed and said, "Why go all the way to the German restaurant?" Yanxi said: "The people there It’s more neat and tidy, not as chaotic as Beijing Restaurant.” Xizhen said with a smile: “That’s not it, I thought you can drink everywhere, why is it a big restaurant?” Yanxi said: “What do you think is better?” Xizhen said "You must buy me a drink, what does that mean?" Yanxi said, "I want to borrow a place to have a hearty talk." Xizhen said, "Do you have to drink for conversation?" Yanxi smiled Said: "After drinking, it's easy to tell the truth." Xizhen said: "That's not necessarily true? Now that we've all been drinking, are we all telling the truth?" Yanxi laughed and said, "Hey! After a long time, you still thought that what I said was all lies." Xi Zhen originally borrowed a movie magazine, but after talking for a long time, she dropped the main topic and said some irrelevant jokes, the more the conversation became more and more interesting.By chance, Xizhen looked up at the little gold clock hanging on the wall, and realized it was past eleven o'clock, and said with a smile, "What time did we come?" Yanxi said, "About six or seven o'clock?" Xizhen said "Okay! It's enough time for midnight. See you later, I'm going back." Yanxi said: "It's still early, sit down, sit down." Xizhen stood up and put her hands on the back of the chair , standing with one foot, pointing the other foot to the ground with the toe of a leather shoe, as if meditating on something.Yanxi said again: "It's still early, sit down, sit down." Xizhen had no choice but to sit down again.After talking for about ten minutes, Xizhen said again: "It's getting late, I'm leaving." Yanxi couldn't keep her, so she rang the bell to call the servant, and drove her own car to take Xizhen back. go home.

That night, Yanxi stayed at home and didn't go to Quanzi Hutong.The next day, when she got up in the morning, Yanxi only ate some snacks, then went out to Luohua Hutong and entered the gate of Leng's house.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qingqiu wearing a new suit and coming out from inside.She was wearing a light green gown and white satin flat shoes embroidered with green flowers.The more obvious the skin is pink and jade.Another thing that surprised Yanxi was that there was a string of beads hanging on top of her clothes. Although the beads were not very big, they were about the size of a pea.Its value is probably worth around two thousand yuan.In a hurry, he and Qingqiu nodded and walked away.Once he was in the house, he sat down and thought, it was strange.How could she have the money to buy this hanging bead?If it is the savings of the family, it may not be so.After a while, he walked into the yard of Leng's house, pretending to look at the jujube flowers on the tree.Mrs. Leng saw it from behind the curtain, and called out, "Mr. Jin, please sit inside." Yanxi walked in while lifting the curtain, and said, "Is Auntie at home? I thought I went out with Miss Leng." Mrs. Leng said with a smile: "She has a classmate who got married, and Congratulations went there. These colorful worlds are all places for you young people to go to. How can we old ladies have a place? She has been worried for a long time in Qingqiu, saying that she has no clothes. I'm sorry to go. Thank you Mr. Jin for spending twice. She has clothes, shoes and socks, so she is satisfied today." Yanxi smiled and said, "I came in and ran into your lady. It turned out that it was Hexi who went. Originally, young people, who wouldn't want to be lively. Just like my brother's treat yesterday afternoon, the men and women who came were all young people. I learned a new trick. It turns out that although jewelry is not fashionable now, diamonds and beads are two Things are indispensable for young ladies and wives." Mrs. Leng said: "That's exactly the case, my Qingqiu, for this, is trying to find ways everywhere." Yanxi said: "When it comes to buying beads, I have a place to introduce them. There is a Wusi foreign company, and his things are very real, and the price is very fair.” Mrs. Leng said: “Mr. Even if you don’t have money, you can’t buy such precious things for children.” Yanxi thought, since she said so, the string of beads was either fake or borrowed.It's borrowed, that's all.If it's fake, wouldn't it be too boring to be seen through?After pondering for a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Go to some places, everyone has it, but only one or two people don't have it, that's not appropriate. If Miss Leng wants to use these things in the future, as long as Mrs. Leng tells me, I can get them at home immediately. These things are not satin clothes. They are worn by others, and they will not be short when they are brought back. My sisters-in-law and sisters in my family, they are so accommodating and lend each other." Mrs. Leng said: "We don't have any serious places to go. We rarely need these things. If we really need them in the future, we must borrow them from Mr. Jin." When Yanxi was talking, she saw a small note on the wall, I remember the place and date, probably because I was afraid that I would forget something, so I wrote it and posted it so that I can remember it.That word is written very beautifully.Yanxi said: "The writing is very good, is it written by Ms. Leng?" Mrs. Leng said: "Yes. According to her uncle, if she has no writing skills, how can it be better?" Yanxi said: "This is The Lingfei Sutra is the most beautiful. It looks like it has no writing skills, but it can’t be cheap at all. It’s not because it’s skillful, it’s because it’s not good at writing.” Mrs. Leng smiled and said: “This is Mr. Jin’s compliment, like they are students, What good words can you write?" Yanxi said: "The truth is not flattery, my temper has always been unwilling to flatter, I will bring a fan tomorrow, and ask Miss Leng to write for me." Leng The wife said: "Mr. Jin has a lot of friends who can write and draw. How can you ask her to write for you?" Yanxi said: "There are many friends, but there are really no friends who write this kind of lowercase. I will call someone later." Send the fan here, please ask Mrs. Leng to pass it on for me." Mrs. Leng said: "Mr. Jin really doesn't think she's dirty the fan, so he can just bring it. Is there any need to ask for it? Anyway, she's been here for the past two days. Write the "Diamond Sutra" with others, and write an extra fan, what is it worth?" Yanxi slapped her thigh with a smile, stood up and said, "Oh! What am I talking about? It's not a good word, and people won't invite it. A copy of the scriptures. The rice paper is folded in white and written in such elegant lowercase characters. It is really beautiful, no wonder someone invited you." Mrs. Leng said: "This is also an old teacher of hers, who likes to study Buddhism, and asked her to write a book. He said that he could finish writing this sutra during the summer vacation. When writing the sutra, it was naturally not hot, and it was cooler than escaping the summer heat in Xishan. Qingqiu agreed as soon as he was happy. She sent back the two thick books in a hurry. Yesterday the teacher persuaded me again, saying that writing scriptures is really good. Superstitious, I don’t dare to offend young people. But if I can really write scriptures slowly, with the meaning of studying it, I will definitely save some troubles. She was not persuaded by others, so she brought back this "Diamond Sutra" with few words. "Yanxi said: "Originally, this scripture should be written well without typos. If you are not a careful person, you can't do it. Tomorrow, Miss Leng will finish writing, and I will pay my respects." Mrs. Leng said with a smile : "Mr. Jin said that, then she will be promoted. She has such good calligraphy, so I don't have to worry about it. I can count on her to sell calligraphy to support me." The two talked for a while, and Yanxi got up. When I went back, I turned out the fan under the shelf of the bookcase.There are more than a dozen handles of the folding fan, but all of them have characters and pictures on them, so they cannot be used together.There is only one Xiangfei bamboo skeleton, with Zhang Zhihe's "Water Fun Picture" painted on one side, and the other side is blank.Yanxi thought, this painting is too bland, not a token of love.But in a hurry, I couldn't find a second one.I thought to myself, what the heck, just write it.Who is still waiting to buy it patiently.At that time, Yanxi took the bamboo fan of Concubine Xiang and personally sent it to Leng's house next door.Although Mrs. Leng felt that this man was too impatient, she accepted it.
