Chapter 14 The twelfth round of Huayue Siwei poured out his thoughts to the fullest, and the Battle of Zhucheng intends to be a mediator

Yanxi and Mrs. Leng were talking outside, and Qingqiu had already heard it.She thought, Jin's family is a rich family, I'd like to see how rich they are.At first I was afraid that my mother would not agree, but later my mother agreed, and I was very happy.Immediately open the box and find clothes to change.The beaded ring that Yanxi gave, because Qingqiu couldn't bear to return it, he endured it day after day, so he just accepted it.Qingqiu thought, since he was going to a rich family, don't act like a small family, so he took this bead ring with him.The clothes here had just been changed, when the car horn rang at the door, and indeed a car came, which was sent by Miss Jin to pick up Miss Leng, and at the same time, the driver handed over a business card of Jin Minzhi.Mrs. Leng has been sending Qingqiu to the car, seeing that this car is more refined than Yanxi's usual one.I thought to myself, rich people are really different, even the car that the female relatives sit in is more beautiful.Qingqiu took the car and arrived at Jin's house in a short time.As soon as the car stopped, Yanxi was standing at the door.When Qingqiu got out of the car, Yanxi came forward and said: "My sister is waiting for you, let me guide you." After speaking, she really walked ahead.Qingqiu took a closer look, at the gate, there was a square open space, with four pillars landing on the ground, a row of buildings, and a vermilion lacquer gate.There are two numbers of rooms facing each other under the gate.Arriving here, there is another spacious courtyard, facing a row of high-rise western-style buildings, and a concierge at the bottom.The servants inside and outside the porter all stood up with smiles.After entering this heavy door, there are corridors on both sides and a building around it.Yanxi didn't enter this building, but went around along the veranda.In the hall at the back, the doors and windows are all painted with red lacquer, which is bright red and eye-catching.There is a platform on the hall, and behind the platform is a red building with four corners and cornices.Around the house, half of cypress trees and half of willows are planted, and the red and green complement each other very brightly.When I got here, I saw the female servants, and when they saw people coming, they stepped aside early.Right here, in the shade of willows, two moon doors flashed from east to west.Entering the Moon Gate on the east side, there is a mountain of grapes, covering a boat hall with white walls and green paint above. The small corridor outside the boat hall is surrounded by large and small bonsai. A ship hall, surrounded by thousands of flowers.Yanxi smiled and said: "Miss Leng, what do you think of this house?" Qingqiu said: "Very good, very gorgeous." Yanxi smiled and said: "This is my small study and living room." Qingqiu Nodding and smiling, he said, "This place is good for reading." Yanxi led her through the double doors again, and walked around a few corridors. The flowers were bright and the willows were dark, so Qingqiu couldn't tell the east, west, south, north.At this time, I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, wearing black Xiangyun gauze trousers, a short jacket with red flower and white gauze, and a perm braid, showing her snow-white arms and neck. , with a face like a full moon, covered with begonia hair.Qingqiu thought, could this be his sister?But the age seems to be much younger.Before he dared to say hello, the girl turned around and walked back, rushed up the steps, and shouted to the room: "Miss Fifth, the guest is here." Only then did Qingqiu realize that she was just a maid.Fortunately, I ignored her, otherwise, wouldn't it be a big joke?When the girl was talking, she had already opened the curtain of Xiangfei bamboo, Yanxi took a step back, let Qingqiu go in, and then followed her in.When Qingqiu entered the door, she saw a woman with curly hair in a suit. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Yanxi's, but her skin was more plump and her complexion was redder. This must be Yanxi's older sister.At first, Na Minzhi thought that the girlfriend Yanxi knew was of course a first-class social star, but now seeing Qingqiu's white satin robe, white stockings, white satin shoes, and a string of bright beads hanging around her neck, she is really graceful, like a tree Pear blossoms are average.From what he looked like, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of crows in a bun, did not speak, and blushed for a while.Although Minzhi is the seed of civilization, there is no one who does not love such a gentle woman.She didn't wait for Qingqiu to salute, she took a step forward, stretched out a pair of bare arms like powder balls, and shook hands with Qingqiu.Yanxi took advantage of this opportunity to introduce on both sides.Minzhi held Qingqiu's hand, sat down together on a soft chair, and actually started talking very affectionately.Yanxi had never seen Minzhi treat others so kindly, and she was very proud of it.Then he said to Qingqiu: "Please sit here for a while, I won't accompany you."

After finishing speaking, rush to mother's side to see if they have left?As soon as I inquired, Wang's house made a phone call and urged him to fight cards, but he had already left early.At this time Yanxi had no idea, and couldn't sit still at home.It's too early to go to the Wang's house for a play, and it's boring to go early, so I just paced back and forth in the corridor by myself.Walking along to Aunt Cui's side of the yard, I saw a little girl, Yu'er, peeling lotus seeds on a small table.Yanxi asked, "Where's my aunt?" Yu'er said, "I went out early." Yanxi said, "Who ate the lotus seeds?" "Why don't you ask the kitchen to get it?" Yu'er said: "In the past many days, when the Prime Minister came at night, the snacks he ate were all made by his aunt on the wine stove. She said that she was afraid that the cook would not make them clean." Yanxi saw that Yu'er spoke brightly, and felt pity for a moment. She felt that it was pitiful for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child to leave her parents and come to someone's house to be a girl.There was a bowl of unpeeled lotus seeds piled up in the bowl on the table, enough for her to peel, so she came over to peel one for her.Yu'er smiled and said, "Young master, aren't you afraid of getting your hands dirty?" Yanxi said, "It's okay, I'm worrying here, and I have nothing to do." talk.After peeling off a bowl of lotus seeds, Yanxi still felt that Yu Yong was good.Yu'er said: "Master Qi, may I get you some water to wash your hands?" Yanxi looked up at the sun and said, "You don't need to wash your hands, I have something to do." So she went to her study and rested for a while , Then I took a car to Wang's house.At this time, there was an alley in front of Wang's house, and all kinds of cars were filled.There are also speculative peddlers who carry fruit loads and baskets of biscuits, and stuff them in the pile of cars to do that temporary business.You don't have to go inside, it's very lively outside.There was already a colorful memorial archway at the door, and armed patrols lined up on both sides.Yanxi came by car.The receptionist at the door had already come forward, please leave a photo, and someone next to him said, "This is Young Master Jin Qi, don't you know him?" Make a way, and once Yanxi enters the door, she will always come to the hall where the opera is performed.I only heard someone shouting from behind: "Yanxi, Yanxi, where are you going?" When Yanxi looked back, it was Meng Jizu.Then he asked: "Did you come here just now?" Meng Jizu said: "I came earlier. Why don't you go to the auditorium to pray for your birthday and go to the opera first?" Yanxi smiled and said: "I am most afraid of this. And I am Juniors, when they meet Shougong and Shoupo, they must kowtow." Meng Jizu said, "Are you afraid, so you don't go?" Yanxi said, "Anyway, there are a lot of congratulatory guests, and they don't remember who comes and who doesn't." Meng Jizu said: "Then, let's go to the theater together." He took Yanxi's hand and left.Walking into the theater, I saw that around the stage, there was also a stand connected on three sides.That's where the ladies sit.There are rows of chairs in front of the stage, which are the seats for male guests.When Yanxi came in, there were only more than half of the men's seats, and the women's seats were piled on top of each other, so there was no gap.Meng Jizu said: "After all, the ladies don't understand opera like the male guests. They will come when they hear the sound of the gong, and they will be reluctant to leave when they come." The heart of a woman is quieter than that of a man, so it's no wonder they don't want to leave when they come." When she said that, she looked around and saw that Minzhi and Qingqiu had also come.He was talking while watching the play on stage.Next to Minzhi, there was a middle-aged woman with red silk and red flowers hanging on her breasts. She was probably a receptionist, and she was there to talk with her.Yanxi thought, since Qingqiu knew this receptionist, even if Minzhi left, there would be someone to entertain her in the future, so she would be relieved if she didn't feel calm.Yue Mo watched two plays, and the guests gradually crowded together.Yanxi looked up to see Minzhi, but he was gone, only Qingqiu was there.Qingqiu didn't pay attention to him, it seems that he doesn't know yet.I thought, Fifth Sister has already left there, don't let her introduce her again, everyone knows each other, that would be inconvenient for the boss.I hesitated for a while, but just when I had no idea, I saw the receptionist leaning on the chair and beckoning: "The table is already open, everyone, please go to the table." These guests, I heard that half of the guests left.

Taking advantage of the commotion among the crowd, Yanxi also left the theater, and instead of going to the banquet, went outside, where the waitresses rested, looked for the waitress she had just seen, took off her hat and nodded, smiling. He asked: "My surname is Jin, have you seen my sister?" The receptionist said: "Is it Miss Jin you are asking? She has left, and a relative who came with her is still here." Yanxi said : "I was just looking for her, and a call came from her house, asking her to go back." The receptionist believed it, and immediately attracted Qingqiu.Qingqiu asked: "Did my mother call?" Yanxi replied vaguely: "Yes. Call me and ask my servant to ask: What's the matter? If there is nothing important , the fun is coming, so there is no need to go back." Qingqiu was also reluctant to go back, so she asked where the phone was?Yanxi said: "People here are very chaotic. I'll take you to the back to make a phone call." So Yanxi was in front, and Qingqiu was in the back. room.Qingqiu stopped and said: "Where are we going?" Yanxi said: "It doesn't matter, this is Sheqin's house, I am familiar with it everywhere." At this time, it was getting late.Because it was the first month of the month, the night was very bright. Qingqiu looked forward and saw a stack of fake stone mountains leading to the corridor.Surrounded by flowers and trees, it seems like a small garden.When she got here, she became suspicious and stopped daring to move forward.Yanxi said: "Two martial arts performances in succession, the gongs and drums are so loud that your ears are deafened, why don't you take a rest here?" Qingqiu stood in the corridor, silently making no sound.Yanxi said: "Although this garden is small, it is well arranged. We can watch the moonlight here, and go to the theater later." Qingqiu said: "I still have to make a phone call." It's much smaller, so I can't help but lower my head.Yanxi took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Qingqiu, don't you understand? I have something to say to you." Qingqiu held on to the pillars, and hid her head under her sleeves.Yanxi said: "You are very open-minded, are you still shy?" Qingqiu said: "What can we talk about?" Yanxi said: "I wrote you a few letters, why do you only reply to me once?" Letter, and very simple, very polite, it doesn’t sound like a very confidant.” Qingqiu said with a smile: “How dare I call you a confidant?” Yanxi took her hand and said: “Don’t stand here Let me tell you, there is an open chair over there, let's sit there and talk slowly, what do you think?" While talking, she led Qing Qiu to walk, although Qing Qiu retracted her hand, she followed him.This place is a clump of pomegranate flowers with thousands of leaves, connected with a row of small phoenix bamboos, and a small outdoor chair, just under the flowers.In front of the chair, there are many large pots of lotus leaves, which are green, so people sitting here are really surrounded by flowers and isolated from the outside world.Qingqiu and Yanxi are here, so they can naturally express their longing for each other to their heart's content.At that time, a semi-circular moon was originally covered by several layers of thin clouds. Suddenly, the shadow of the clouds flashed, revealing the moon and shining the place white.Two figures, side by side in the ground.Qingqiu felt a little embarrassed when he saw such a scene, so he said: "Yes, there are still many good plays that I haven't seen yet, I'm going to listen to the play." Yanxi said: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, what are you busy with? You go to eat first. After dinner, you only need to watch two plays, and when you get up together upstairs, I will go to the gate and drive a car to take you back." Qingqiu said: "No, I will hire a foreign car to go back Go." Yanxi said: "I'll pay the driver not to honk the horn, then your family will not know that you are going back in my car." Qingqiu laughed: "It's hard for you to be thoughtful, just Let's do it that way." Qingqiu smoothed her hair on the sideburns with her hands, pressed the bun again, walked out of the flowers, came down to the eaves of the porch, lowered her head and took a tug at the front of her clothes, and left first.

Yanxi walked out slowly, feeling very happy in her heart, her life wish was completely fulfilled in an instant today.Just thinking about it like this, I really feel happy from my heart and smile on my face.I bowed my head and walked away, forgetting to divide things into north and south.When he was supposed to go south, he turned north and ran to the Wang's house.Looking up, I saw that in the front room, brightly lit, there was a table of female guests playing mahjong.Yanxi shrank her feet and was about to leave when she turned around. It was a coincidence that she met Wang Yufen at the head, and Yufen said, "Hey! When did Lao Qi come?" Yanxi said, "I came early, and I'm watching the show in front of me." .” Yanxi said while looking out.Yufen grabbed his clothes.Said: "Don't go, play two games for me, I will lose very badly." Yanxi said: "Isn't there a ready-made player playing cards there? How can you lose a person in your audience?" Yufen Said: "I rushed to the front to listen to "Yutangchun" and asked someone to play a few games for me. Now that you are here, of course I want you to play for me." Yanxi said: "It's all women, there Who is there?" Yufen said: "Are you still afraid of female guests? Besides, they are all acquaintances, what's the matter?" Yanxi said: "I delayed several plays and didn't listen to them. I was just about to leave when I ran into them again. You rob the road." Yufen said: "Did you delay several plays? Where did you go?" Yanxi said: "Talk to your brother Ling..." Yufen laughed: "Nonsense, he first Watching the cards here, and later we went to the theater all the way, and you didn't do anything good." Yufen originally said something casually, but unexpectedly caught Yanxi's illness, and he blushed and said, "What bad thing did you do? Don't I even know that I'm a guest at your house?" Yufen was also afraid that Yanxi would get angry if she said something serious.He smiled and said, "No matter what, anyway, you have to play two sets for me." When he said that, he turned his body away and turned to Yanxi, blocking his way.Said: "You have to fight!" Yanxi couldn't get rid of it, so he could only smile and said: "Okay, I have an appointment first, and I can only play four sets. I don't care if there are more." Yufen rolled her eyes and looked at Yanxi. Xi smiled slightly: "As long as you go, how many dishes are not a problem." Yanxi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd, so she had to go with her.Yufen supervises and guides Yanxi into the house.As a result, Yanxi was forced to sit up, a dilemma.It turns out that among those present, one is Yufen's sister-in-law, Yuan Shi, one is Young Mistress Chen, who is also a relative of the Wang family, one is Mrs. Liu Baohua, and the other is Miss Bai, Bai Xiuzhu.When they saw Yanxi coming in, they all nodded with a smile, but Bai Xiuzhu looked at the cards on the table with a straight face.Yanxi peeked at her, and said nothing else, just like a pair of diamond earrings, trembling under her cheeks, she could tell that her heart was extremely chaotic.I also felt a little unbearable, but Yufen knew that I had turned against her. She ignored me, and I couldn't talk to her either.So he didn't make a sound, and everyone present knew that the two of them had a very close relationship, and of course they could meet casually, and no one paid any attention to them.These two people are having a big fight in their hearts.Here only Yufen understood, so she cast a wink at her sister-in-law, Yuan Shi, and asked, "You have lost a lot to me again, you can't be a shooter, I'll find someone else." Standing up, she smiled and said, "Master Qi, come on." Grandma Chen said with a smile, "Hehe! No way! Miss Bai sits first, and he sits first, can you keep them from colluding? As long as Miss Bai plays the card A little looser, then we can't take it anymore!" Bai Xiuzhu put her hand on Yuan's hand and said, "Don't go, let's come. Otherwise, sister Yufen can play by herself." Yufen smiled and said: " People are telling jokes, so you are in a hurry. Seriously, if you two play cards, will you let Zhang Zi? It’s not about the friendship, it’s not about it!" Xiuzhu said: "What are you talking about? I am just so careless Son?" Yufen said: "Then, why don't you let Lao Qi play?" Xiuzhu looked at the cards on the table, deliberately not looking at Yanxi, and said: "I mean it's inconvenient to always change people on the table. I don't care if other people play or not." When Xiuzhu spoke like this, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu could tell that there must be an awkward quarrel with Yanxi, and Yufen managed to make things up for her.Mrs. Chen said: "Qi Ye, you have to sit down and beat me. If you don't sit down, I'm joking and I'm going to be serious." , afraid that people would see through the mechanism, she sat down with a smile on her face, and said, "In the world, there are only people who invite gunmen to shoot, and no one forces gunmen to shoot. Third sister-in-law is really detaining me." After playing cards, Yufen held the back of the chair with her hand, Listen to how they start talking.In the first game, Mrs. Liu made a reconciliation.Xiuzhu embedded the whiteboard, and touched the second tube. She should have received Xiaohe money, but Yanxi was barefoot and should have given Xiuzhu the money, because she turned her head to explain the card scriptures to Mrs. Chen and forgot about it.Xiuzhu then asked Yufen, "Sister Yufen, how much do you draw? I am twenty." Yufen laughed and said, "It's strange! You don't ask the card players, but the card watchers. I can control how many draws are made." Are you doing it?" Xiuzhu said: "You lost the money, you don't pay, and you plan to renege on the debt, or what?" Yufen said: "I have sent a representative, and the representative has full power to deal with it. Otherwise, I will send a representative What?" Xiuzhu said: "Don't talk about those people, will you give me money or not?" After they quarreled, Yanxi found out.Facing the cards, he said: "We have eight draws, let's find twelve draws." So he took four chips and sent them to Xiuzhu.Xiuzhu said to Yufen again: "What eight sums are you? I didn't see them." Yufen said: "It's so boring! Didn't I just say it? I don't play cards. How do I know how many cards are tied? I'm not a post office. It's for others. You don't want me to read the cards behind, but I don't, can it work?" After speaking, Yufen flashed behind Young Mistress Chen.Xiuzhu can't.I had to forget it.While sorting out the cards, Yanxi thought: just now I only ate two bunks and put them on the floor, and didn't touch them. Where did Bahe come from?At this moment, Grandma Chen smiled and said, "Qiye, aren't you looking for my Xiaohe?" Yanxi thought, she was actually Bahe.Then he took out a big chip and returned with two small chips.Xiuzhu saw it and asked: "Sister-in-law, aren't you Bahe? How can I ask for money from others?" Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "My Bahe is especially enlarged. He should give me money." Xiuzhu said: "I You know, this is injustice

Yanxi didn't listen to those, she lowered her head and laughed.Walking into the theater, I met Wang Youchun, the young master of the Wang family.He smiled and said, "Yanxi, when did you come?" Yanxi said casually, "I just arrived." Wang Youchun pointed Yanxi with his finger and said, "You are afraid of wishing birthday, so you only come at this time, right?" Yanxi He blushed and said, "I was delayed by something during the day, so I can't make it. The three brothers are here, can't you represent me?" Should I go and bow?" Yanxi said: "You are right, please take me to the upper room to pay my respects to my birthday." Youchun smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, I'm afraid of this, In addition, the low-ranking people in our family, who are double-featured bastards, went to kowtow in the birthday hall in batches. My parents only perfunctory for a while, and then asked me to stop them in the auditorium. I just sent them down. Some young mistresses who arrived first, It's already here, so I had no choice but to avoid it. Afterwards, I went to kowtow alone, and it wasn't a rule, so I simply ambiguously passed it on. It's the same for me, let alone relatives?" Yanxi smiled and said, "This is what you should do as a son. What did you say?" Wang Youchun said: "Parents of filial piety, it only depends on whether you are sincere or false. I don't care about this hypocritical etiquette. I'm telling the truth. Let's go and watch the show." He held swallow West, just walk into the theater.Yanxi's gaze had already shot upstairs, and saw that Qingqiu was still sitting in the previous seat, but her mother and Meili had left here, probably to the banquet.Seeing that he was paying attention upstairs, Wang Youchun covered half of his face with his palm, and said into his ear: "There is a beauty upstairs, do you see it?" Yanxi frowned and said, "Be more serious." Wang Youchun said: " You have to take a look at this man, if you don’t, you’re in vain today.” When Yanxi heard this, she became impatient and said, “I want to listen to the play, so don’t make trouble.” Wang Youchun still smiled and said: "You said long ago that you wanted to meet my Dabiliu, but she came today, and I kindly wanted to introduce you, but you didn't want to." Yanxi suddenly realized, and quickly laughed: "I blame you. Where is that man?" Wang Youchun pushed his lips towards the grandstand, and said with a smile: "That one is wearing a light red dress and a light yellow silk scarf, with a crescent-shaped head cut, fair skin, and a slightly round face. "Yanxi said: "I saw it, I saw it, don't add so many adjectives." Wang Youchun smiled and said, "How is it? The peach calyx is drooping, and the apricot blossom is moist. You can add these eight characters." Did you test the language?" Yanxi said: "Where did you find the eight-character test language?" Wang Youchun said: "Don't despise me, I am also studying now. That person graduated from middle school and ranked first in the Chinese language test I thought to myself, if I don’t work hard, when I get married tomorrow, there will be troubles with the bridegroom, don’t you want to be a good-looking husband?” Yanxi said: “You look so unruly, carefully, your wife is not happy. "Wang Youchun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, she knows that I am very naughty, I am used to seeing it like this, it doesn't matter."

Yanxi stole a glance to the stage, and it happened that Qingqiu was also looking downstairs.When she saw Yanxi, she stood up, and Yanxi understood, so she said to Wang Youchun, "I'll find something to eat, I'll come, you just wait here." Yanxi walked to the back and met Qingqiu.Qingqiu said: "Who are you talking to? Watch from the old watchtower." Yanxi said: "Do you think he is looking at you? He is looking at his own lover." Qingqiu said with a smile: "This is obviously your nonsense Yes." Yanxi said: "Why don't you believe it? Do you think he is looking at you, or is he looking at you?" Qingqiu said quietly: "Don't talk. There are people coming and going here. Go to the door Go and drive the car over here and wait for me." Yanxi heard that she really went ahead and found the car.When they came to the door, the driver opened the door, Qingqiu stepped into the car, Yanxi was already sitting in the car.Qingqiu said: "Can't you drive yourself?" Yanxi said: "You can drive." Qingqiu said with a smile: "Since you can drive, why don't you drive me back yourself? I don't want to let the driver know about it. "Yanxi said: "What's the matter? It's not just once that I send the car off to a guest. What can't be made public?" Qingqiu said with a smile: "I heard that you can dance, so you must have many girlfriends?" When Xi heard this, he felt that he had given away his flaws, and said with a smile: "I used to have this hobby, but I thought that kind of communication was very boring. Since I moved next door to your house, for those dancing girls, It's been a lot stranger for a long time." Qingqiu said: "Then why?" Yanxi also asked: "Why do you say?" Qingqiu smiled, but refused to speak.While talking, the car was moving fast.Qingqiu looked outside, and when he was almost home, he said to Yanxi, "Tell the driver not to honk." Yanxi said, "Just let Lingtang know that I brought you back, it doesn't matter. I think Lingtang is right. I'm very polite, and I don't hate it." Qingqiu kicked his feet and said, "You still tell him not to honk, or..." Yanxi didn't wait for her to finish, and said, "Didn't you say it first? I've already broken up Pay them, I can't do anything you said, do you need to say it a second time?" Qingqiu said: "Then, please get out of the car immediately, can it be done?" Yanxi said a word in his mouth , stood up and asked the driver to stop.Qingqiu blocked her hand, forcing Yanxi to sit down.He smiled and said: "Sit down, don't make trouble." Yanxi said: "I plan to go to Xishan tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I want to invite you to one, can it work?" Qingqiu said: "It's so far away, go to Xishan What are you going to do? I'm not going." Yanxi said: "This day, Xishan is so much fun, why don't you go? You must go." At the end of the sentence, the car had already arrived at the gate of Qingqiu and stopped.The driver jumped out of the car and went to open the door.Yanxi grasped Qingqiu's hand and asked: "Will you go?" Qingqiu was eager to get rid of it, so he had to say "go" and got out of the car.
